Gong-The Farm Tapes 73-74



Gong - The Farm Tapes 73-74

I really dont know any details on this one.
Just a cassette I ended up with. No case, just a tape with
farm tapes 73-74 on it. Just spacey jams. Sounds like it was
during the mushroom expirimation period. A bit of tape hiss
but fairly good sound and great jams. Maybe a GAS Tape? Who knows?

  2. OK This is what ive worked out as the track titles

    SIDE A
    fohat digs holes in space
    A Sprinkling of Clouds
    Bombalay / Dynamite
    Glisando Guitar
    6-8 Tune
    Radio Gnome

    SIDE B
    Zero the Hero & The witch`s Spell
    Sold To The Highest Buddha
    I Never Glid Before
    Om Nama Shivaya
    Outer Temple Inner Temple
    Isle of Everywhere
    You Never Blow Yr Trip Forever

    My personal Comments are
    Alot of side B doesnt sound correct to my ears
    When Om Nama Shivaya gets played It doesnt sound anything like Allen Or Hillage singing
    I personally think that alot of the B side is a Fake Gong Band Take a listen to You Never Blow Yr Trip . And try to picture the face to the voice as it doesnt sound right to me

    The "fake Gong band" (blow yr trip) is Gong with Bruford drumming (which show?) and the voice is 100% the Oz Alien!
