Hawkwind – Parallel Universe/A Liberty-U.A. Anthology 1970-1974 -3CD – EMI Catalogue
Prosegue la meritoria serie di cofanetti dedicata dalla EMI inglese alla ripubblicazione di materiale classico dai propri archivi. Nel caso di questo box degli Hawkwind non è stata applicata la tecnica dell’opera omnia come era stato fatto per Hollies, Frankie Miller, UFO e Barclay James Harvest recentemente ma si è optato per un disco triplo ricco di rarità e inediti ed una selezione di materiale da quel periodo. “Opera omnia” ovviamente è riferito solo a quanto inciso per le etichette del gruppo EMI e, in ogni caso, il cofanetto ha il solito prezzo molto contenuto, sotto i 20 euro.
