Doremi Fasol Latido is the third studio album from Hawkwind released in 1972. It reached #14 on the UK album charts.

Another year, another album and another lineup for Hawkwind. The rhythm section of Dave Anderson and Terry Ollis had gone to be replaced by Lemmy Kilmister and Simon King, both of whom's style differed notably from their predecessors to give the band an overall change in direction. Lemmy was a failed guitarist who claims never to have played bass until picking it up for Hawkwind, and to it he brought the unique rhythm/lead guitar style which has brought him considerable recognition, and King's rock drumming was more square beat than the jazzier free flowing Ollis.

The result is one of Hawkwind's heaviest records of their career, with the music faster paced than previously and the vocals are now in full voice, almost shouted a times. The lyrics are primarily concerned with space, echoing the direction Barney Bubbles and Robert Calvert were taking the band in, culminating in the Space Ritual shows from the tour of this album.
