Mysteriously badly recorded

"As much as I love Gong, I can't recommend this. It's really a collection of odds and ends, many of them very poorly recorded indeed. When I say "odds and ends," I really mean it; for example, the version of "Tried So Hard" here sounds as if it was recorded by a cassette off a television speaker. And do you really need re-recordings of the little gnome voice saying "Gong! La planete gong!" from the beginning of Camembert Electrique? Unless you're an absolute fanatic who must have every beep and bleep Gong recorded, you can probably live without this. I've had this for a number of years and I don't listen to it that often at all."

"This is it,the one-disc pressing I was talking about in my review right below THIS one.Total of twenty-one tracks of bits and pieces by none other than the glissando guru Daevid Allen himself and crew.For old school Gong fans only."
