"Gong in the 70's" 2xLP RSD 2022 reissue colored vinyl limited edition 2500 ex. vinyl.
Enregistré à Pavillon du Hay.
Recorded in the rehearsal room at Pavillon du Hay, the Gong community near Sens in France, prior to the recording of "Angel's egg".
It was in march 1971, when i first met Daevid Allen, when i was called in to help out with the mixing of one of his solo albums, Bananamoon. I was a very young sound engineer, at the time. One thing led to another, and the next thing i knew, i had moved to France, something i have never looked back on, after 50 years. Daevid put this montage together from old tapes in 2005 - just when i was starting to walk again after my terrible car crash, and in a rare round of unanimity, all the band decided to offer it to me as a benefit album - That was really cool, guys. There is something quite unique to this album, compared with many other Gong ones, insofar as it features both, the Daevid Allen Gong, that i had the pleasure to help out on the technical side for a short time, and then later play with, and record Flying Teapot with, and the band Gong, that i had the pleasure of putting together with Didier, Steve, Pierre, and later, Mike, when the D.A.G. had simply fallen to pieces during the Teapot sessions. This was of course the band that wrote and recorded both Angel's Egg and You, and changed the orbit Gong was to travel in, for the rest of time. The raw energy, and optimism, as we taught Daevid stuff we had worked out and performed in his absence, and i can clearly hear the "Joie de Vivre" that inhabited us all, at that time. So, 50 years later - here it is, in glorious vinyl! (At last, some will say). Tim Blake
