The Weird Tapes


The Weird Tapes are a set of music tapes by the English rock group Hawkwind. Issued in the early 1980s, they contain live, radio sessions, out-take and demo performances.
Dave Brock collated this material from his own private library and issued them as 40 minute TDK cassette tapes on his own Weird imprint through Geoff Hocking. The first tape was made available through mail order at the beginning of 1980, whilst the last tape was first issued at the end of 1983. When Brock hooked-up with Rob Ayling of Voiceprint Records at the end of 1999, this material was re-released on CD without alteration.
