Embark on a sonic journey through the cornerstone of British space-rock with this exceptional 1971 UK 1st pressing of Hawkwind’s In Search Of Space. This is the definitive "Holy Grail" version for collectors, featuring the high-fidelity A-1U/B-1U matrix stamps on the original United Artists label.
 

Unlike later reissues, this copy preserves the full psychedelic vision of the band and legendary designer Barney Bubbles. It features the complex, interlocking "Gimmix" foldout sleeve, which opens into a multi-panel visual experience. Most importantly, this set remains complete with the original 24-page Log Book, a fragile piece of counter-culture history that is rarely found intact and in such clean condition.
 

Musically, the album captured Hawkwind at a pivotal moment, blending hypnotic, repetitive riffs with avant-garde electronic textures. From the sprawling opener "You Shouldn't Do That" to the heavy-duty pulse of "Master Of The Universe," the raw energy of the Ladbroke Grove underground scene is captured here in its most authentic form. This is not just a record; it is a complete sensory time capsule from the peak of the UK’s psychedelic era. As always, this rare item will be shipped in our "defend-at-all-costs" packaging to ensure it reaches you in the specified EX/EX- condition.
