Quark, Strangeness and Charm is the seventh studio album by the English space rock group Hawkwind, released in 1977. It spent six weeks on the UK albums chart peaking at number 30. This is Hawkwind's seventh studio album, hence "The Hawkwind Part 7" title on the inner sleeve. It is the band's first album without co-founding member Nik Turner, and drummer Alan Powell had also departed. In addition, Adrian "Ade" Shaw from Magic Muscle replaced Paul Rudolph during the recording session.

Quark, Strangeness and charm" is not Hawkwind's finest hour by any means. Only the manic "Damnation Alley" is really worthy of note, and there are plenty of alternative Hawkwind albums which include it (Such as the excellent "Palace Springs") rendering this album superfluous. The other tracks range from the Hawkwind by numbers songs such as "Iron dream" and "Spirit of the age" to the poor, punk inspired "Days of the underground".

Talk about Hawkwind - Quark Strangeness And Charm


Sorryyy
Quark. strangness and charm must be one one the best songs ever. I still remember watching Hawwind perform this on "Lift off with Aisha" a 70s childrens ITV program. I've even heard JJ Burnel saying that he wished he'd written this.
