Our path on the Hawkbinge journey generally leads us through all of Hawkwind's vast array studio albums.  However, it happens to be the case that the biggest (and only) Hawkwind hit and their most well-known song by far is a non-album single, the legendary Silver Machine.  It would seem like a dereliction of duty for us to skip over this landmark, heralding, as it does, the arrival on one Lemmy Kilmister and a spot on BBC's Top Of The Pops.  So here is a bonus podcast where Matt will give us his reaction to this iconic track after hearing it for the first time, provided he can work out which version of it he is supposed to be listening to...

In addition to Matt's hot-take on SIlver Machine, there is the singles chart for August 13th 1972 and Matt's take on the B-side, Seven By Seven.

Many thanks to those who have commented on our channels and reviewed/rated the podcast - we recorded this bonus episode last week, but will be shouting out to you in the next episode.

It took a little longer than anticipated but Hawkbinge is back with a bumper second episode.  Hear Andy and Matt unpack everything that comes with Hawkwind's breakout second album - the music, the packaging and the Log Book that accompanied the original vinyl.  Also, a look at 1971 and its rather stellar list of album releases and a heartfelt plea to help The Black Heart music venue in Camden.

And if you don't have the Log Book, we found a PDF of it and put it up for your reading pleasure: https://tinyurl.com/3d284dsl

Matt's introduction to Hawkwind - will he overcome his confusion?  Will he like "Hurry On Sundown"?  How will he cope with "The Reason Is?" and "Paranoia"?  All this, plus we catch up on what else we've been listening to, look at the music scene of 1970 and chat about where the Hawkwind concept seems to be headed.  Catch us, correct us and share your views of Hawkwind's first album @Hawkbinge on Twitter & Insta, email [email protected]

Andy & Matt introduce HawkBinge, their journey through every Hawkwind album from 1970 to the present day.  While Andy has been into Hawkwind for many many years and knows all the albums very well, Matt has never heard any of them and so will be hearing all this music for the first time each episode.  In this introduction, Andy and Matt talk about music history they share, the perspective they'll bring to this journey and some of the things we can expect to see along the way.
