Label; Atomhenge

Format; 3CD Box

Release Date; May 2024

These recordings saw Hawkwind move into the 1990s with a trio of excellent albums recorded by slightly fluctuating line-ups. Alongside Hawkwind Captain Dave Brock and long-time member Harvey Bainbridge, ‘The Xenon Codex’ would be the last album of the 1980s to feature Huw Lloyd Langton on guitar, while bass guitarist Alan Davey would come more to the fore within the band.

For ‘Space Bandits’, Richard Chadwick would join Hawkwind on drums, while former member Simon House would guest on the album, along with vocalist Bridget Wishart.

‘Palace Springs’ was Hawkwind’s final album for GWR Records and featured excellent new tracks such as ‘Treadmill’ and ‘Back in the Box’, alongside some live recordings of classic material. This official 3CD clamshell boxed set features each album in a replica card-sleeve wallet and includes an illustrated poster.
