From the futuristic, synth-laden opener of ‘Our Lives Can’t Last Forever’ and innovative psychedelic swirl of ‘The Starship (One Love One Life)’ and ‘Traveller of Time & Space’, to the lamenting saxophones and menacing riffs of ‘What Are We Going To Do While We’re Here’ and ‘Stargazers’, the band deliver 13 tracks of classic material.

The album has everything Hawkwind fans new and old could ask for – from Dave Brock’s trademark vocals and chugging guitar riffs to roaming solos, gradual melancholic crescendos and rapturous peaks, it’s a record that sits tightly in the Hawkwind groove, delivering an intense concentrated fusion of musical styles.

‘Stories From Time And Space’ is presented by Dave Brock, Richard Chadwick, Magnus Martin, Doug MacKinnon and Tim “Thighpaulsandra” Lewis on both CD and double vinyl and will be released to coincide with live shows in the spring and summer:

Wednesday 3rd April – Wulfrum Hall, Wolverhampton

To follow up the release of the English National Opera recording of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Mikado, Jay Records is proud to announce the second in the Gilbert and Sullivan series, HMS Pinafore. This will coincide with the premiere of the greatly anticipated new Mike Leigh movie on the life of Gilbert and Sullivan this summer. This complete recording of the authentic version of HMS Pinafore, with synopsis and sleeve notes prepared by Britain’s leading authority on the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, Dr. David Russell Hulme, features the soloists, chorus and orchestra of The New Sadler’s Wells Opera, conducted by Simon Phipps. It was recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London in Digital Stereo. This recording is now the recommended recording by both The Penquin Guide to Opera on Compact Discs and The Gramophone CD Guide, over and above the old Decca and EMI recordings.

This Jay  recording is the only complete recording, and because of the nature of the book, which tells the story backwards is finally made comprehensible to the listener with the inclusion of certain key scenes and dialogue. The extended scenes and song settings define the development of characters, relationships and musical motifs clearly as no other recordings do.

This original cast recording features stars such as Maria Friedman (London’s Lady In The Dark, Passion, Sunday In The Park With George), Evan Pappas (Broadway’s My Favourite Year), Jacqueline Dankworth (London’s Into The Woods, Invade My Privacy) and Louise Gold (London’s Anything Goes, Nunsense).

Recorded in Digital Dolby Surround Sound which of course is the perfect idiom for all the dramatic and extended scenes.

Bankrupt stage star Gay Daventry opens a drama school, but finds what is needed to get her back on top is, to name the show’s hit song, Vitality!. Other numbers include If Only He’d Looked My Way (subsequently recorded by Frank Sinatra), Bees Are Buzzin’ and On Such a Night as This, combining Novello’s melodies with Alan Melville’s wit.

West End favourite Sophie-Louise Dann stars as Gay, alongside fast-rising Helena Blackman and Josh Little, and an amazing supporting cast including Tony Award-winner Elizabeth Seal, whose career began in the chorus of the original production of Gay’s the Word.

Welsh-born composer, author and actor Ivor Novello (1893-1951) was one of the most eminent British entertainers of the last century. His West End musicals included Glamorous Night, The Dancing Years and King’s Rhapsody. As an actor, he was Britain’s first major male film star, appearing in over twenty silent features including Alfred Hitchcock’s classic The Lodger.

This production of Gay’s the Word was revived at Jermyn Street Theatre in 2013. Ben Stock replaced Jonny Purchase; Andrea Miller took over from Myra Sands; Adam Anderson and Martin Milnes replaced James Irving and Sebastian Smith; production assistance was by Gareth McLeod; lighting was by Rob Mills; music supervision was by Ross Leadbeater.
