A limited-edition deluxe nine-disc box set of Hawkwind's 1974 album, Hall Of The Mountain Grill, will be released through Cherry Red Records on August 29.
The new set features seven CDs and two Blu-ray discs and features a brand new remaster of the original album with seven bonus tracks drawn from studio out-takes and rare singles, along with two full previously unreleased concerts mixed by Stephen W Tayler.
The new concerts are from Edmonton, London in January 1974, a benefit concert for imprisoned LSD advocate Timothy Leary, which featured a guest appearance by Robert Calvert and Joanna Harcourt-Smith, Leary’s partner. The second is a full concert recorded at the Allen Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio on March 22, 1974. In addition, the set also includes Tayler’s new mix of the full 1999 Party concert at the Auditorium, Chicago on March 21, 1974.
The box set, which also features a an illustrated book with new essay, also features Blu-Ray discs featuring a 5.1 Surround Sound up-mix of the album, (this due to the multi-track master tapes being lost) and a 5.1 Surround Sound mix of Hawkwind’s concert at the Allen Theatre show from the original 16-track master tapes.
The album, Hawkwind's fourth, saw the arrival of violinist and keyboard player Simon House (who sadly died last month) following the departure of Robert Calvert and electronic effects wizard Dik Mik. The album took its name from a Portobello Road cafe frequented by the band.
Remastered vinyl and CD editions of the album will also be released. You can see full tracklisting details below.
