Thanks, Tim. Being an oldie, I have 'Silver Machine' on 45 with the flip side being the preferable (to me) 'Seven by Seven'

"Greasy Truckers"- double live album (1972), fun fact:

"Silver Machine" by Hawkwind was recorded at this concert which took place at the Roundhouse, London during early 1972 but the song does not feature on the original vinyl album release. Robert Calvert's vocals were considered very poor and consequently Lemmy's vocals were overdubbed. Released as a single it reached No. 3 in the UK charts during the summer of '72. Hawkwind turned down the invite to appear on BBC TV's "Top of the Pops" for professional reasons. Instead, a film of a live performance recorded by the BBC at Dunstable Civic Hall was used. Although Hawkwind's biggest hit, it is not a staple of their live sets.

"Spunk Rock" is only eclipsed by the live version of "C'mon" ("Back to the Future"); which, was also recorded at the Roundhouse - IMO.

And yes Scott @scottmitchell74 all sorts on here!

As we all swelter in this 'heatwave' I deliberately took a couple of pics of my blue Brush Type 2 with blue snowplough and blue support StoveR, the aim being to create some A.I. pics
I hope the sight of them makes you feel cooler :)

Sorry @kusojiji - not for me.

And @Newportnobby - I was a fan of Man back in the day. Still good stuff but I very rarely listen these days I'm afraid.
Greasy Truckers is/was a stand out live album though.

Great track, that. I also like his track 'Satisfied'.
In the meantime, compulsory monthly listening......
