beautiful album
A 50p classic – not as popular as the other 50p classic (The Faust album) but most people heard it or had it cause it was cheap
I want this album thanks for posting.
oh boy, i just fainted – how often did i step out of the door in the mornings to bring my daughter to the school bus and murmured: good morning mister bancroft… wondering where i had this from, because it came automatically – ha! now i know, listening to this fantastic album for the first time after at least 35 years………………… 🙂
Quelle découverte sensationnelle
RIP Gilli Smyth
BLESS GILLI !
obviously all about the feeling gr8 stuff. Gilly, Daevid, Lemmy, Bowie, Morrison, Hendrix, Joplin wow the list goes on. There's an awesome gig going on somewhere
First musical experience Nottingham August 1972
The Group
"I see ya sitting there on your old back veranda, ya got ya shady lady and waltzing matilda, I only wanna know wots that big black banana, ya really only me if you only remember" – repeat.
Bought this for 50p Yesterday I found it in my shed. My dad said it was "hippie shit" I'm listening now and my son said the same thing. I suppose that's how things are
a masterpiece of spirit.
I got into Gong for the first time in 2007 and I was impressed how adventurous and spirited their music is. R.I.P. Daevid Allen. Almost like Frank Zappa and Mothers of Invention, in a way.
R.I.P. Gilli Smyth
blessed poetess
of time and space.
queso camenbert
Like most fine cheeses it continues to improve with age.
great record, great band
50p steal if you can
Bloody hell chaps, apparently there is a woman on this album, and even worse a Frenchman, send all your copies of GonG to me so they can be disposed of humanely,
'You can do what you want, you can do what you want.. the gift of the living spirit – free will.. Choice?
NO not really, it's bollocks, you see in the small time remaining if the reader allows themself the following notion, they will realise that THIS not a dimension of Living, it is the dimension of the Spirits. The world isn't about to end, it's about to metamorphose into Life.
But while we are here, I suppose we can try and do what we want.. I mean after all.. it's Hell!!
Bit of Frank about this !!!
yes 50 (new) pence. i think E.L.P pictures at an exhibition was on offer 100 (new) pence about the same time. Albums were about £2.50 then, depending whether it had the correct price tag?
do people (the ippy) still wear gong hats?
That of memories (so good )
que de souvenirs ( bon )
A Camembert!
Do You want a Camembert?
cuts out too early at the end.apart from that one of the greatest albums ever,and i still cant work out all the words!
The Beatles WERE around in the 70's as individual artists and simply continued writing pop songs – Mc Cartney is still doing it today lol
Tu veux un camembert?
i listened to most progrock,jazz rock or something similiar with gong,but gong are so special,well i know im not alone.
Bring back white lightning blotters. Lots of visuals no head fuck.
Who played keyboards?
That band Gong changes lives . For the Better . Certainly does. Thankyou.
fuck Charly Records..
OFFICIAL GONG BAND MEMBERS STATEMENT
We, the surviving members of Gong, do not support BYG/Charly Records upcoming reissue of the Radio Gnome trilogy.
None of the surviving members of the lineups that created those recordings were ever signed to BYG or Charly Records.
The truth is that immediately before the making of Flying Teapot in January 1973, the band learned that Daevid Allen's once record company – BYG Records (also known as Promodisc) – had gone bust, it's Paris office stripped bare, no phones working. The band was abandoned at the Manor Studios at the start of recording the album. Virgin – at the time just a chain of record stores and The Manor studios – was about to launch their record label.
Faced with an unpaid recording bill, they decided to cut their losses and release Flying Teapot as the second release on the new Virgin Records label. That's the true story.
The booklet advertised as accompanying the Charly/BYG Release is full of untruths, lies and falsehoods claiming to represent Charly and BYG Records as some sort of poor victim of Virgin's wickedness. The truth is that none of the musicians on those recordings has ever received a penny of royalty payments for the Charly/BYG releases, or even a statement. This is understandable because we NEVER signed to BYG or Charly Records as Gong.
Meanwhile, forty years later, we still receive statements from Virgin and, for those of us who cleared our advances, royalty payments, even though Virgin has since been sold to EMI and now is owned by Universal Records.
We know and can confirm as 100% corroborated fact that the Original Masters of these albums reside in the Virgin Records Archive, and that Charly has never at any time been given access to them, so Charly's claim to have used the Original Masters is false.
Charly has been brazenly abusing our rights as artists for decades. None of us are rich or powerful enough to sue them. All we can do is to let you, our lovely Gong fans, know that we do not support this release. We will be supporting a new boxed set to be released by Universal in a few months with our full collaboration.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder <3
Their latest disc is entitled "Rejoice I'm Dead". Safe to say there will be no stopping Mr Daevid Allen now.
So glad my formulative years included massive helpings of Gong
