The Space Ritual Alive in Liverpool and London is a 1973 live double album recorded in 1972 by UK rock band Hawkwind. It is their fourth album, reached #9 in the UK album charts and briefly dented the Billboard Top 200, peaking at #179.
The album was recorded during the tour to promote their Doremi Fasol Latido album, which comprises the bulk of this set. In addition, there are new tracks ("Born To Go", "Upside Down" and "Orgone Accumulator") and the songs are interspersed by electronic and spoken pieces making this one continuous performance. Curiously, their recent hit single "Silver Machine" was excluded from the set, and only "Master of the Universe" remains from their first two albums.
The Space Ritual show attempted to create a full audio-visual-cerebral experience, representing themes developed by Barney Bubbles and Robert Calvert entwining the fantasy of Starfarers in suspended animation travelling through time and space with the concept of the music of the spheres.[1] The performance featured dancers Stacia, Miss Renee and Tony Carrera, stage set by Bubbles,[2] lightshow by Liquid Len and poetry recitations by Calvert. On entering the venue, audience members were given a free programme[3] (reproduced on the 1996 remaster CD) featuring a short sci-fi story by Bubbles setting the band in a Starfarers scenario returning to Earth.
The original release featured edits and overdubs, the sleeve notes explaining that "We had to cut a piece out of Brainstorm and Time We Left because they were too long", but the 1985 Space Ritual Volume 2 album contains the full unedited versions. A previously unheard edited version of "You Shouldn't Do That" (segued with an unlisted "Seeing It As You Really Are") from this concert was included on the 1976 Roadhawks compilation album, then subsequently included as a bonus track on the 1996 remaster CD. The full unedited version of the track can be found on the Hawkwind Anthology album. June 2007 saw another EMI remaster issue with different bonus tracks and DVD-audio.
"Sonic Attack" had been written by sci-fi author Michael Moorcock, who often performed with the band when convenient and Calvert was unavailable. Here it is recited by Calvert and it was scheduled for single release, promotional copies being distributed in a cloth sleeve, but it never did receive a full release.
In the Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock, the album came #8 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums"

John Cale出生于威尔斯的矿工家庭，Cale在Velvet Underground里负责贝斯、中提琴与钢琴的演奏，偶而担任演唱。他的作品展示了矛盾与对立的魔力:抒情诗与噪音，精密与粗糙，催眠般的反复和突变……当他还是一个古典音乐学校的学生时，他就表现出了极端主义的倾向。在他学习理论和作曲的音乐学校的一次独奏演出上他推翻了一架钢琴。凯尔在英国学习完作曲后，于 1963年来到美国。在纽约他遇到娄・里德，后者帮他对电声乐器和摇滚乐有了最初的了解。不久他加人“地下丝绒”，在其中担任键盘、贝斯和电声中提琴的演奏。

介70年代风靡一时的美国南方摇滚乐队，最出名的特点是他们的吉他合奏。可惜乐队的灵魂人物Ronnie Van Zant在1977年因空难去世。乐队从此一蹶不振。这是他们的第一张专辑，专辑的名字其实就是乐队的名字Lynyrd Skynyrd，但由于这两个词没人认识（除了他们自己），所以副标题是"pronounced 'l?h-'nérd 'skin-'nérd"，解释了这两个词的发音，一般都用这个幽默的副标题来称呼这张专辑。专辑中最后一首歌曲"Free Bird"是摇滚历史上最著名的单曲之一，以精彩高难的吉他solo闻名于世（入选摇滚历史上最伟大的100首吉他solo，排第23位，还入选了滚石杂志评选的最伟大的500首歌），更要命的是他们的主音吉他不止一把，这首歌中最复杂的部分是由三把吉他一起高速?出来的，让人听了不得不叹服。本专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第401位。在此发布一个增加了5首Bonus的纪念版

公元1972年，离世界毁灭还有五年时间。来自火星、一头红发、性别模糊的摇滚巨星用他眩目的衣服、高跟鞋和闪光眼影，还有最激动人心的音乐，拯救了千千万万绝望中的少男少女们。三十多年过去了，Ziggy已死，Bowie还活着，而1972年的传奇将永远不朽。

Manassas is the 1972 debut double album by Stephen Stills' new band of the same name, released April 1972. It was a critical comeback for Stills, and continued his commercial success by being certified Gold only a month after being released and peaking at number 4 on the US charts

这张 Made in japan 即是纪录 Deep purple 在 1972 年全盛时期的作品， Deep purple 的现场专辑一向歌都不会很多，但每曲都会很有份量，这张经典现场更是如此，曲曲皆是经典，首曲 Highway Star 就是超经典，也是 Deep purple 早期最金属的一首歌曲，此曲不但吉他的 riff 有不断前进的力量，Ian Gillan 高亢神经质的唱腔，最最经典的莫过于中间 John lord 先出场的速弹键盘，经过一段副歌后，换 Ritchie Blackmore 上场，我尤其喜爱这一段中的一段高速速弹，就像是飚车时达到车子极速时的危险快感，就像歌词中的，没有人挡的住高速之星.....

2006 digitally remastered reissue of this 1972 album by the British Glam/Rock superstars featuring five bonus tracks: 'My Life Is Natural', 'Candidate', 'Wonderin' Y', 'Man Who Speeks Evil' and 'Slade Talk To Melanie Readers'. By the time that the 'Slayed?' album arrived in September 1972, Slade had scored their third British No.1 single with 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now', which was included on side two of the LP. 'Slayed?' has been called "music to wreck concert halls to", and it's a description that few familiar with it would choose to refute. Aside from 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now' and 'Gudbuy T'Jane', the latter a No. two hit in November '72, it was swelled by self-penned nuggets like 'How D'You Ride' and 'The Whole World's Goin' Crazee', plus covers of Janis Joplin's 'Move Over' and 'Let The Good Times Roll' by Shirley Goodman & Leonard Lee, both of which were regulars in their live repertoire. New Musical Express hailed 'Slayed?' as "one of the greatest rock 'n' roll releases ever," and it remains one of the band's best-loved long players. Crank up the volume and go crazee!. Slavo.

爵士摇滚乐队Steely Dan的首张专辑，获得滚石杂志5星评价，在1972年度Billboard专辑榜上排名第17，虽然在商业上不算特别出色，但也取得了百万销量，从此开始了他们既叫好又叫座的音乐生涯。本专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第238位。
