25 Years (song)

"25 Years" is a 1978 song by the UK rock group Hawkwind, originally released as a single in the UK (CB332) on 18 May 1979. It is a slightly different version to the one on the album Hawklords.

The 12" single version was originally released in grey vinyl. However, due to a mistake at the pressing plant a small number were pressed in black vinyl. These are much harder to find.

Famous quotes containing the word years:

    “They will tell you tough stories of sharks all over the Cape, which I do not presume to doubt utterly,—how they will sometimes upset a boat, or tear it in pieces, to get at the man in it. I can easily believe in the undertow, but I have no doubt that one shark in a dozen years is enough to keep up the reputation of a beach a hundred miles long.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
