Hype (album)
Hype is a 1981 album by singer Robert Calvert, the former frontman of British space-rock band Hawkwind. It is subtitled "The Songs Of Tom Mahler" as a tie-in to Calvert's only published novel "Hype", the novel being a fictional account of the rise and death of a rock star. The musicians used for the recording include three members of the band Bethnal, whom Calvert befriended during their support slot on Hawkwind's 1977 UK tour. Track listing. All songs written by Robert Calvert.
