Seriously though I am so lucky to have found a copy of this at a price I can afford (£36 including post all the way from Finland, a lot of sellers are asking silly prices). I think it is possibly my favourite KC album, not that most are pretty good, in this line up they seem to encapsulate their early feeling along with a rawness and edginess, Adrian Belew does an outstanding job on vocals, some of the tracks have an awesome power and presence hard to describe, it needs to be experienced. No everyone cup of tea but really worth a listen. The 4th side also has 4 tracks from the Vroom EP.

Gong is not 'Glam Rock', it's just that I find Daevid Allen a bit too twee and whimsical; he was much better IMO when he played in Soft Machine. I used to have vinyl copies of 'Flying Teapot' and 'Camembert Electrique', but they didn't last long.Quote:

I love Marmite as well.
But there are many performers who are good musicians, yet they largely leave me cold. Steve Hillage is one such, as is Steve Hackett.
