In 1969, Hawkwind gave strong space rock music to an growing audience of fans. With several studio sets already in circulation (Hawkwind – 1970, In Search Of Space – 1971, and Doremi Fasol Latido – 1972), Hawkwind recorded and released a popular live album – Space Ritual. The album achieved a Top Ten rating in the UK.
In September 29 of 2023 , Atomhenge Records / Cherry Red UK reissued Space Ritual with new remastering and a new Stereo mix, and an included 5.1 Surround Sound mix. Space Ritual was presented in an all-inclusive 10CD/1BD Box with three full live recordings in brand new mixes from the original 16-track tapes. But requests for the breakout of the BD-Audio set was heard and is now on the calendar for February 7 of 2025.
This BD-Audio disc of Space Ritual will provide the same collection of 18 tracks as found in the box, all of which will be offered as 5.1 Surround and Stereo remixes in 96kHz/24-bit.
