Gong - Garcon Ou Fille

· The self-titled ‘Mystery History Of Planet Gong’ is a
tangled web blurred by hallucinogen induced mismemories
and contradictory cross-continental record label
marketing ploys, resulting in wrongly titled releases and
erratic personnel changes, which naturally makes them
one of the most interesting groups from the BYG era.
· BYG’s first Daevid Allen release was ‘Est-Ce Que Je
Suis’ (confusingly / alternatively titled ‘Garcon Ou
Fille’) which sounds like an anti-ye-ye Nino Ferrer spoof
with interjected haywire soprano sax bursts (courtesy of
Deya plucked reed instrumentalist Didier Malherbe) and
Smythsonian space whisperings.
· Released alongside the brand new Finders Keepers
compilation ‘The BYG Deal’, featuring early, rare,
desperate and covert recordings by Vangelis, Gong, Art
Ensemble Of Chicago, Brigitte Fontaine, Jean-
Claude Vannier and members of Soft Machine,
Procol Harum, Popera Cosmic, Visitors, MAGMA,
Aphrodites Child and Los Bravos.
· Available on strictly limited edition 7” (1000
copies).
