All Aboard the Skylark is an album by space rock band Hawkwind; released in 2019 on Cherry Red Records,[3] it was their thirty-second album since their debut, Hawkwind, in 1970.[4][5]

Background[edit]

Some copies were issued as a 2CD set with an additional disc Acoustic Daze,[3] which was also issued as an independent vinyl record.[6] The content is the original acoustic recordings that were reworked with Mike Batt for the Road to Utopia album.

The album was promoted with a 15 date tour of Britain in November, culminating in a final show at London's Royal Albert Hall.[3] The group were augmented by keyboard player Tim Blake, with guest appearances from Phil Campbell (at the Royal Albert Hall and Cardiff Tramshed) and Eric Clapton (in Guildford).[7] The set-list included "Flesh Fondue", "Last Man on Earth", "65 Million Years Ago", "In the Beginning" and "The Fantasy of Faldum" from the album.[7] A record of the live show titled 50th Anniversary Live, with the guest appearance from Campbell, was released on 4 December 2020 by Cherry Red in 3LP and 2CD formats.[8][9]

On 14 November, the group recorded a session for Marc Riley's BBC Radio 6 Music show, playing "65 Million Years Ago", "Last Man on Earth", and "Spirit of the Age".[10] "Silver Machine" was recorded as part of the session for broadcast on the Gideon Coe show later the same evening.[11]

The album reached number 34 in the UK albums chart.[12]
