Photographs - Gallery 15: Album Art

You can find images of Hawkwind album covers on a lot of Hawkwind sites, and at online music stores like CDNow. So I decided to put up some of the inner sleeves and other rarely seen images. And in these days of compact discs and failing eyesight, there's no substitute for gatefold vinyl albums when it comes to providing a platform for album art!

Below: the fold-out cover of In Search of Space. Barney Bubbles (lighter coloured cloth cap) is shown alongside John Trux, to the left of the photo of Nik Turner

Right: the droll inner sleeve from Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music

Right: Barney Bubbles' Star Rats poster that came free with Doremi Fasol Latido. The photos were taken by Phil Franks

Above: the inner sleeve from Doremi Fasol Latido. The text says "And in the fullness of Time the Prophecy must be fulfilled and the Hawklords shall return to smite the land. The Dark Forces shall be scourged, the Cities razed and made into Parks. Peace shall come to everyone. For is it not written that the Sword is key to Heaven and Hell? (From the Saga of Doremi Fasol Latido, Psalm XIV)"

Well actually, the Hawkwind Summer Camp was a bit like that...
