Ok, dammit, I've been watching this one on eBay a while . . . sigh . . . pressing the trigger. I hold you responsible .

You will not be disappointed with this one Hal.

Question:- Queen Night at the opera, which version is best DVD -A or Blu ray?. DVD-A is cheaper but if Blu ray is better then I will get that.

So, what is the fidelity on the Hawkwind earlier albums? I'd love to search some out.

Did my usual, and went to Discogs, and compared various versions according to price / evaluation. Your results may differ, but I do believe I got away with the best sounding cheaper versions (hint: Parlophone. Think Tull). Have the first and second recordings, and also the two-CD live SPACE RITUAL. That was an interesting choice, as there are the originals with studio overdubs, and also versions with just the live tracks. Went with the studio overdubs.

Quite happy with the lot! As I near retirement, I am, like a hobbit with food, "filling in the corners."

All that said, nothing matches SW's WARRIOR! Duh.

Ah, CD. I was thinking vinyl!!

Sigh, my wallet studiously avoids that alternative. Anyway, as a child of the <mumble, mumble> vinyl era, been there, done that. CD / SACDs / Blu ray fill my need and don't have crackles and pops, or extremely heavy weights and storage issues. What sublime but expensive formats I don't hear won't hurt me (in theory) .

I'm a big Hawkwind fan. After Lemmy left I prefer the lineups with my pal Alan Davey on bass.
My favorites are the "big band" (including Simon House, Tim Blake) live shows 2000-2002.
3 or 4 different Keyboards, Synths/ Violins all producing a wall of sound.
My favorites are:
Canterbury Faire - Spaced out in London - Yule Ritual.

Not much difference..
I love both DVDA or BD as mediums and I have both of them...
DVDA it is if it were up to me...

This is really great. Makes me feel like reenacting a dance scene from the movie "reefer madness"
