Notes

Differences between versions:
All iterations of Space Ritual appear to come from the same sets of concerts. The earlier iterations such as original Space Ritual release as well as releases named Volume 1 and Volume 2 appear to have been live recordings with studio overdubs.
Later iterations such as those titled Space Ritual At Sundown Vol1/2 and 1985 release Space Ritual Vol.2 appear to contain just live recordings without any studio overdubs.
The Back on Black vinyl release titled Space Ritual Vol 1 contains the first disc of the remastered 2007 CD version while Vol 2 contains the second disc.

On my copy what should be side 4 is a repeat of side 3, with the side 4 label.

Exactly what you expect from just looking at the cover, a total face-ripper.

An all-out monumental audio assault of stoner-space-prog rock, heavy metal, hippy ideals & probably too much acid. Its loud, chaotic, pretentious & gloriously amazing (and that’s just the cover)! The music goes beyond.
THE space rock opus magnum.

Can anyone give any feedback in regards to the cuts that were made from C4 & D3? Also, I'm a bit confused on why that would even be necessary. If the original pressings from '73 could contain these tracks in their entirety, why can't a reissue in today's modern world do the same? Idk, maybe I'm missing something here.🤷‍♂️

Some copies of this edition apparently came without a hype sticker.

The matrix/runout for Disk 2 of my copy is NJC2<010>S2257659-V2, and the longbox cover has no color square as shown on the image here.

Really enjoying this. Not sure about the provenance of the source material but it has plenty of energy. Good sound.

This pallet cleansing anti-baroque psych mind eraser is a thing of primitive beauty! One would certainly be right to argue that this is not even Hawkwind's greatest, however, on its own merits this LP has little competition to rival its simple brilliance.

My copy has a Hawkwind Space Ritual Log book with a rather nice drawing of Stacia dancing in front of Skull and Cross bones out in Space. It is similar to the Log Book that cam with X In Search of Space. Will this be included in the release notes?
