TOP COPY
SCARCE Original 1971 first pressing that is arguably the most psychedelic works of Devid Allen & Gong ... always one of the hardest to find of the early GonG albums, due to the fact it was only released in France where the band lived ...released as a film soundtrack, both sides explode in aural delight ... swirling and phased long trips with acid laced jams and effects that should readily impress ... recommended to fans of early Hawkwind, and all the underground psych/prog gems of the early 70's - Krautrock & other-worldly scenes ...
1. Blues for Findlay (11.18) where Daevid Allen sings " And you don't have to give up dope, and you don't have to give up hope, and you don't have to change your ways", this is the Camembert Electrique line up, so the sound is a bit more amphetamine paced harder rock, like Camembert is more than the Pot Head Pixies trilogy. Its a bluesy based space rock number with Daevid Allen's characteristic drugged-out wordplay, spacing-out and along quite nicely for over eleven minutes.
2. Continental Circus World (4.13) - This is probably one of the strangest Gong tracks, a sound collage of French voices and motorbikes, after about a minute and a half, music is looped into the mix, sounding like an outtake of the glissando section in Fohat Digs Holes in Space, but with a different drum pattern, you can also hear Allen speaking over the mix, making it sound like a segment in Adventures In the Land of Flip from 1969's Bananna Moon.
3. What Do You Want (9.05) sounds like the live version from great performance on the 1971 Glastonbury Fayre album, but a lot clearer, lots of cool glissando guitar and space whispering and complex drumming so beloved of Gong. This version has different lyrics, and greatly tripped out stuff...wonderful freaky 'head' jams.
4. Blues For Findlay (9.39) - a grooving space-rock number, even more like the build up from "You'll Never Blow Your Trip Forever" from the "You" Lp, classic Gong. A family companion to Daevid Allen's Bananna Moon and Gong's Camembert Electrique
