Forty years ago this month, a strange and distant signal was picked up on radio receivers across the UK.
Amongst the hiss, and static interference, a dialog could be heard….
‘This is London, Earth. This is London, Earth. This is London, Earth. This is London, Earth.’
‘Mothership Control in readiness. Sonic Assassins cleared for Space Flight. Countdown starting now. Thirty…’
‘Countdown started. All Units prepare for activation.’
‘Twenty Five…’
‘Production Androids activated. Now!’
‘Twenty…’
‘Audience Recept Units, activated, NOW!’
‘Fifteen…’
‘Music Distribution Equipment. Activated. Now!’
‘10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4…’
‘All Units activated. Countdown terminated.’
‘...3, 2, 1. Countdown complete.’
‘All Units functioning. Movement commencing. We have lift-off. We have music.’
‘We have….Hawkwind!’
This is the audio recording of that night’s broadcast. Hawkwind live in concert from the Paris Theater, London, September 29th, 1972. Transmitted by BBC Radio 1 on October 14th.
