If Gong have a 'lost' album then this is as near as it comes. Recorded around the same time as 'Camembert Electrique' in early Summer '71, with the same engineer (Gilles Salle) - the band (including Daevid Allen, Didier Malherbe, Pip Pyle, Gilli Smith, etc) provide fine support for keyboardist-singer Dashiell Hedayat's spacey psychedelics - in true Gong style. William Burroughs adds ‘vocals’ on ‘Long Song For Zelda’.This is a triple gatefold digipak edition with an eight page lyric booklet (in French) As it says on the back of the LP cover, "Warning - This record must be played as loud as possible, must be heard as stoned as impossible and thank you everybody".
