Live Chronicles


Live Chronicles is a 1986 album by Hawkwind recorded of a live performance of their The Chronicle of the Black Sword concept album based on the Michael Moorcock character Elric of Melniboné.

Overview

The original album release lacked "Assault and Battery" and "Sleep of a Thousand Tears" as they had been licensed to Flicknife records for single b-sides, and the Michael Moorcock spoken pieces due to Moorcock being in dispute with GWR owner Douglas Smith.
