Description:
Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this 1985 album from the British Space Rockers including five bonus tracks. This conceptual album (based on Michael Moorcock's Elric books) was arguably one of Hawkwind's finest albums of later years. Critically acclaimed upon release, the album was followed by an extensive tour. Deleted for many years, this reissue has been re-mastered from the original master tapes and includes the bonus tracks 'Arioch' (from the rare 1985 CD edition of the album), along with all four tracks from the 1984 Earth Ritual EP. Atomhenge.
