Hawkwind are to have a career-spanning six-disc box set released this December. Dust Of Time: An Anthology will be released through Atomhenge/Cherry Red on December 10, and is the first ever compilation to gather together all eras of the band’s history, spanning 1969-2021.

Highlights of the new set include Dave Brock's cover of Willie Dixon's Bring It On Home, which was on the 1968 album The Buskers, the Hawkwind Zoo demo track Sweet Mistress Of Pain from 1969 and various different single edits and live and session versions.

“I look at the track listing for this set and it emphasises just how many good songs we've done over the years,” says band leader Brock. “We've had so many talented people involved, and they've all done their bit to move us forward. Each line-up has put its own stamp on Hawkwind, which is why every era has its own individual style.”

Dust Of Time: An Anthology is available as a six-disc box set, as well as a two-disc set, and features a lavishly illustrated book with new essay and exclusive interview with Dave Brock and a poster.

You can view the artwork and tracklisting for both versions below.

Hawkwind have just released their latest studio album Somnia.
