A new 11CD Hawkwind box set This Is Your Captain Speaking… Your Captain is Dead celebrating the ‘space rock’ band’s United Artists era from 1970-1974 will be released in March.

The following albums are included: Hawkwind, In Search of Space, Greasy Truckers’ Party (2CD) Doremi Fasol Latido, The Space Ritual Alive in Liverpool and London (2CD), Hall of the Mountain Grill, The 1999 Party (2CD) and this set also comes with a bonus disc collecting rare single mixes called Of Time and Stars – The Singles.

The studio albums (in bold) are new remasters and everything is presented in card sleeves within a clamshell box.

This is due for release on the 23 March 2015. At the moment only the German Amazon have it up for pre-order but best advice is don’t wait because the price is a stunningly cheap €21 which is less than £16 – for an 11-disc box set!

  4. The box says “Mastered by Peter Mew & Nigel Reeve at Abbey Road Studios, London”. I guess they didn’t use Abbey Road just to fiddle with the knobs… :)

  5. I’d prefer to know a bit more about what’s meant by “remastered” before I buy a product that duplicates what I already possess.

    If it’s just an EQ tweak, then I’m not all that bothered really.

  6. This already out in Sweden since a few days. The remastered studio albums sound fabulous. Vastly improved compared to my ’96 remasters. Doremi have never sounded dirtier and sludgier to my ears :). Also nice with restored track lists, same as the original vinyls. Nice sleeves, gatefold for the first, Greasy, 1999 and Space Ritual. Could have been nice with a booklet with some info. The printing on the covers is too small for my old eyes :)…

  9. Last year I ordered a B.B. King box set from Amazon France, and it took over 3 months to arrive in Canada. Since no charge appeared on my card for many weeks, I assumed the order failed to go through. Regrettably I understand almost no French, so was unable to inquire about it. But surprisingly it did show up, and it was fine.

    As for this Hawkwind box, I can’t get too excited about it as I have all the music already. Now if all the discs had a 5.1 Surround option and there was a nice thick book with it, that would be a different matter!

  10. The Canadian dollar sucks right now, but gas is cheap (for the first time in it-feels-like-forever), but it came to $37.77 including shipping from amazon.de regardless. Dirt cheap for 11 CD’s…. that’s less then $3.50 per disc!
    Like some of the above, I’ve never ordered from the German site before… UK, US & Canada, that’s it. But with Google Chrome it’s easy as can be.

    I’m totally stoked about the Pretty Things ‘Bouquets From a Cloudy Sky’ box (got the notice from Ugly Things that it shipped today), but this deal has got me even happier!

  13. Don’t know a word of German and never been on the German Amazon site in my life before. Still managed to successfully order this within 30 seconds – no probs!

    Nice bargain!!

  15. Excited by the 2CD “Greasy Truckers” set — has this been released before as a standalone Hawkwind album? Since it’s 2CD, there’s more here, I presume, than was on the 3CD version in 2007 (Hawkwind was only on disk 3)…and maybe in a better mix, too?

  20. Rough Trade has this advertised at £35 in the UK so perhaps a good guess for UK price would be around £30 or just under. Either way this looks likely to be about a tenner less.

  21. Yeah, the pattern is pretty the same, so it should be a deafult-like buy :). I bought on Amazon Germany, Spain and Italy without problem. Buttons are the same and any additional text was easy to understand with google translate.

    The price is a real bargain! But I’m afraid those will be a cheep, budget cardboards. I also don’t see any booklet.

  22. I (german) order a lot at different amazon shops in languages I don’t understand and agree with Philip. They work more or less the same and you can use the same identity. I am always suprised how fast they deliver eg. from Italy or Poland (not to mention the lower prices compared to Germany).

  23. Nio probs with Amazon Germany, it follows the same patterns as the UK site, and even lets you use the same log in and credit card details.

    This is a definite order for me, hopefully will see even cheaper prices in the UK, but this will do for now.

      1. Google chrome .Even worse . Nothing is translated The translate button is even in German so don’t know where that is .Thanks anyway but this is really for people who know German and I don’t know one word of it .
