Hawklords (1978)

"25 Years On" is the 8th studio album by the English rock band Hawkwind, released in 1978. The band released it under the name "Hawklords" for legal reasons, as there was a dispute over ownership of the name "Hawkwind" at the time. It reached No. 48 on the UK album charts. A new remix & surround sound mix of the album by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) was released in 2023 by Atomhenge records as part of the "Days Of The Underground" boxed set.
