Hawkwind’s “Doremi Fasol Latido” was recorded at Rockfield and Olympic studios in September and October 1972, the legendary album followed on the success of the band’s biggest UK chart single ‘Silver Machine’ and was their first to feature Lemmy Kilmister on bass & vocals which reached #3 in 1972. Featuring such classic tracks as ‘Brainstorm’, ‘Space is Deep’, ‘Lord of Light’, ‘Down Through the Night’ and ‘Time We Left This World Today’, the album reached the UK Top 20 upon its release in November 1972.

In August 1971, Lemmy joined Hawkwind, who were based in Ladbroke Grove, London, as a bassist and vocalist. He had no previous experience as a bass guitarist, and was cajoled into joining immediately before a benefit gig in Notting Hill by bandmate Michael “Dik Mik” Davies. Lemmy said that he originally auditioned for Hawkwind as a guitarist, but on the morning of the Notting Hill gig, they decided not to get another guitarist. By chance, the bass player (Dave Anderson) did not show up and left his equipment in the van.
He often said, “Their bass player was pretty much saying ‘please steal my gig!’ So I stole his gig.” Lemmy quickly developed a distinctive style that was strongly shaped by his early experience as a rhythm guitarist, often using double stops and chords rather than the single note lines preferred by most bassists. His bass work was a distinctive part of the Hawkwind sound during his tenure.
