I’m a bit late to the party here, but I remember seeing Gong in about 1973/74 at The Dome in Brighton.
I’ve still got my vinyl copy of Flying Teapot & a bootleg c.d. entitled, “Pothead pixies from the planet gong.”
Happy days, if only I could remember them!

I have Flying Teapot on vinyl too. I think that album was pre Hillage. It can only be played when Mrs ER is not at home!

I used to have a Gong album on vinyl but I can’t remember which one.

Meanwhile this. Much, much less awful than one might have expected.

I am genuinely affronted. Steve Hillage is a great guitarist. He really is. Massively underrated.

Anyway, this is from Green, my sixth form favourite. I took back a copy of yesshows (I think) that would only play on posh record players, and got a copy of Green instead.

Nick Mason co-produced that album, and I think played some drums.

I also had a clear vinyl copy of the proto-ambient Rainbow Dome Music, and the less musically interesting For To Next / And Not Or double album. Which was shite.

Rainbow Dome Musick, obviously, not just "Music".

I was on the bike earlier, with "All Around My Hat" as a somewhat baffling earworm.

Then i realised that it may have been due to watching Pointless immediately before.

Courtesy of folk-festival stalwart BeerMatt, alas no longer a Fetchie:

“And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I’m wearing it
It’s my fucking business
It’s my fucking hat”

Glenn's been Being Wrong again. How can a sentient being *not* approve of John Mayall?
