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.
