Synopsis

Album Description
2007 special three disc (two CDs + PAL/Region 0 DVD) Collector's Edition of the veteran UK Space Rockers' 1973 live opus. The CDs in this edition feature the original album with some extended tracks (they were originally edited due to the time restrictions of vinyl) plus three bonus tracks. The DVD is more a DVD album than DVD video; it allows the listener to enjoy the album as it was originally recorded: as one long continuous piece of live music. There is a brand new 5.1 mix as well as the standard stereo mix and a visualizer will appear on screen while the music plays. The DVD also features two promo videos which are previously unreleased - 'Silver Machine' and 'Urban Guerilla'. EMI. 2007.

CD Reviews

Excellent re master of a rock milestone
G Marcus Sherwin | NORTH GRAFTON, MA USA | 09/27/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was surprised to discover this sounds significantly better than the 2001 re master. This live album has always had a muddy mix, but a quick comparison of the opening bass line in "Born to Go" leaves no doubt that the individual instruments can be heard much more clearly in this new re master. The extended mixes are also a welcome addition. The DVD is very nice, I appreciate the visuals although it's a shame that there's no actual video of the show (is such a thing available?). Just don't forget the DVD is in PAL format, not playable by most North American DVD players. There are many cheap players on the market that will play PAL (most Philips do)."
Hawkwind - 'Space Ritual - Collector's Edition' (Caroline)
Mike Reed | USA | 09/28/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Reason I'm giving this 2-CD, 1 DVD repackaging of the landmark Hawkwind live 1972 album is because of the asking price. I already own copies of the One Way 2-CD reissue as well as the later EMI import reissue with the concert's two encore songs. So, what do I need with this pressing? The twenty song DVD is packed with Hawkwind classics like "Space Is Deep", "Orgone Accumulator", "Brainstorm" and so on but sadly enough there is no actual concert footage, as some would have been nice. The provided graphics that accompany these tunes are 'okay' at best. This newly re-packaged release of 'Space Ritual' would do more for a fan that's never had this record on CD, or perhaps a new Hawkfan {do many even exist?}. I would hope so. Mainly aimed toward the extreme die-hard collectors."
Very excellent packaging...

"This is packaged in a clear slipcase and 8 panel fold-out digipack, similar to the legacy or universal deluxe re-issues that have been released lately. The DVD worked in my DVD player even though it's PAL, and I don't have any fancy player, it was some 80 buck radio shack thing.. great art, great booklet and cool visuals on the DVD. the 5.1 mix isn't that radical, but it's good to hear it all at once instead of on 2 dvds.."
