Described in a 1973 advertisement as "88 minutes of brain damage," Space Ritual is an essential live album from the band's classic line-up - Robert Calvert (vocals), Lemmy (bass), Nik Turner (saxophone/flute), Dave Brock (guitar), Simon King (drums) and Del Dettmar (synthesizer) - recorded at Liverpool Stadium and Brixton Sundown in December 1972 during their tour to promote that year's Doremi Fasol Latido album, which comprises the majority of the 19-track set.
