Quark, Strangeness and Charm is the seventh studio album by the English space rock group Hawkwind, released in 1977. It spent six weeks on the UK Albums Chart peaking at number 30. This is Hawkwind's seventh studio album, hence "The Hawkwind Part 7" title on the inner sleeve. It is the band's first album without co-founding member Nik Turner, and drummer Alan Powell had also departed. In addition, Adrian "Ade" Shaw from Magic Muscle replaced Paul Rudolph during the recording session. The music on this album is more pop-oriented than their previous offerings. The cover is Hawkwind's only design by Hipgnosis, featuring photographs taken inside Battersea Power Station processed by Richard Manning with graphics by Geoff Halpin. A new remix and surround mix of the album by Steven Wilson was released in 2023 by Atomhenge records as part of the Days of the Underground boxed set.
