Description
This is so rare that despite over thirty years of searching the World for Hawkwind items to collect, this is the only copy of this I have ever heard about, let alone found.
The album comes in the original black and silver Doremi Fasol Latido sleeve and the illustrated inner sleeve.
Side two of the disc is Hawkwind and contains the tracks Lord Of Light, Down Through The Night, Time We Left This World Today and The Watcher, which is side two of the Doremi album.
Side one should have the first side of Doremi, but in fact is side one of Whitesnake's Lovehunter album, with the tracks, Long Way From Home, Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues, Help Me Thro' The Day, Medicine Man and You 'n' Me.
A really surprising aspect of this item is that the labels in the centre of the record show what is actually on it. I imagine this is why it is so rare as it would have been spotted at the pressing plant when someone spotted labels by two different bands on the same disc. I am inclined to think it never made it to the shops, or if it did, it would be in tiny quantities, which is perhaps why I have only come across this copy. Also, in those days, people didn't look for mispresses so much...when we got a mispress, we took it back to the shop and asked for a proper copy! I am inclined to wonder if this copy was 'lifted' from the reject pile and taken from the pressing plant.
The condition of the cover is EX+ with a small sticker (see photo) otherwise it's nice! The condition of the disc is M-!!!
