PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

RARE ...Original 1973 first pressing mighty TWO LP SET in HUGE poster sized TRIPLE-fold out cover ...
All very extra-clean ...well considered the apex of high by HAWKWIND ...driven by Lemmy's dirty distortion rhythm bass amid a shower of sci-fi effects & trance power drumming, the Space Ritual ALIVE was, and still is, something to behold when talking pioneering progressive psych adventures...
Aside from Sun Ra, few artists captured that sense of mind-warping, my-God-it's-full-of-stars astronomical mysticism in their music like Hawkwind. With their tendency towards extended jams full of disorienting electronic drones and drummer Simon King's NEU/CAN-like hypnotic rhythms, they had a certain creative kinship with their Krautrock contemporaries. But their racket could also be as unrelentingly punchy and violent as anything from the Stooges' Fun House, especially considering guitarist Dave Brock's Ron Asheton-esque affinity for blistering, wah-wah-drenched riffs and Nik Turner's freeform sax outbursts, which were more Steve MacKay than John Gilmore...and topped off by the bombastic power-driven bass (ala lead guitar) work of Lemmy Kilmister ...It was all put to good use by their lyrics and their philosophy, much of which was inspired by the writing of sci-fi author and sometime collaborator Michael Moorcock, and typically themed around interstellar travel, metaphysics and Pythagoras' theory of celestial-mathematical "music of the spheres."
Hawkwind, at their peak, as on '73's live "Space Ritual" double LP, were an air-tight rock'n'roll demolition unit who combined the best of trancey psychedelia and buttocks-scorching rock'n'roll. If you have the remotist interest in Krautrock or high-energy rock a la MC5/Stooges/Pink Fairies/Deviants, then you need this in your collection.
From Dik's crazy synth whoops and bleeps thru to the sublime sci-fi spoken-word babble right up to the apocalyptic "Orgone Accumulator" (almost 10 minutes of pure sonic fist-shaking bliss), this is an album for both rock'n'roll purists and avant-prog heads alike
Space Ritual is dark, creepy and cinematic. It really is music you can sit down and take a trip on, with or without the drugs.
Side 1 "Earth Calling" "Born To Go" "Down Through The Night" "The Awakening" Side 2 "Lord Of Light" "Black Corridor" "Space Is Deep" "Electronic No. 1" Side 3 "Orgone Accumulator" "Upside Down" "10 Seconds Of Forever" "Brainstorm" Side 4 "7 By 7" "Sonic Attack" "Time We Left This World Today" "Master Of The Universe" "'Welcome To The Future"
CONDITION: The Cover: The triple-fold-out (double sided) poster cover rated: MINT still in original factory cellophane, a bit of the outer cellophane is spit at bottom left corner. Does have a small perfect circle delete at top right, not so noticeable, otherwise a beauty in all ways possible! The COLORFUL double sided fold out poster cover has never been opened and folded out! Immaculate clean when usually found worn & frayed - if found at all ... Obviously HIGHLY collection worthy ... with bright original colors, and should be a fine collection rarity in any worthy vinyl collection, ... No split seams, no bends, no writing, fresh original colors...
The Vinyl: both records and all 4 sides have the shiny gloss, rated M- TOP COPY vastly clean 4 sides = expect play grade to easily have excellent audio results ... and has 4 United Artists clean labels..
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
