Shaw also played bass on recordings for former Tyrannosaurus Rex percussionist Steve Peregrin Took's band in 1974 and three years later, while appearing with Hawkwind on the former other half of Tyrannosaurus Rex Marc Bolan's TV show, was himself invited to join T.Rex; however Bolan's death very shortly thereafter prevented this. Shaw has played bass on Hawkwind's Quark,Strangeness & Charm and PXR5 albums, and on various Hawkwind related compilation albums. As a long term member of The Bevis Frond, Shaw played on more than 20 Frond albums and releases.
