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:

    “We never become really and genuinely our entire and honest selves until we are dead—and not then until we have been dead years and years. People ought to start dead and then they would be honest so much earlier.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
