In the 1970s this album was so rare it was only available on bootleg records and even that was rare for major record collectors and King Crimson fans like myself. Eventually, I managed to score an imported official vinyl copy on the original silver/blue Deram label and because it remained rare it became one of my most precious records in my library. 📀
@@video_camera - I did last year but my computer and the backup drive both died, taking all my files with them. If I try a screen-recording the file will be massive and unstable. I'll figure something out eventually but in the meantime, it's here on RUclips. 👍
I uploaded the full album on February 28, 2018, but it got blocked after some time, when it reached 120,055 views. Then, unfortunately, side 2, which was uploaded on the same day as side 1, November 21, 2023, got blocked shortly after reaching 119 views. I tried to upload every single track of side 2 (sometimes it works with individual tracks) but they all got blocked as well. You should also check if the band's official channel doesn't offer the full album; sometimes that happens! Cheers everyone, ∟∪⊂∀ ̃_ ̃
Never heard this one before but it is in the vein of the old Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd. One of my favourite albums from the era is the McDonald and Giles self-titled album.
I told my bro back in the day that this album was as great as Sergeant Pepper. He replied,incredulously, you're full of it! I reasoned are the tunes as creative? Well maybe. Is Giles a far better drummer than Starr? Could be. Is Fripp's guitar work superior to Harrison? Yea. I give you ,Michael Gile's vocals are a bit flat but it works perfectly with restrained humor motiff. You flat lose on vocals! OK,I said,what about overall record sales? My brother nervously asked how many copies did this sell. Just over ten thousand copies. You are a major twit bro!
A friend of mine had this album. What a treat! To this day "made him look even more foolish than Nature intended" is one of my favorite lines, while "Outside the Sun is Shining (But It's Raining in My Heart)" is almost too good.
I’m very sorry but for now it’s impossible… I had uploaded the full album on February 28, 2018 but it was blocked after some time when it reached 120 055 views.

@@sipsun8Strange. Nevertheless, thanks again for putting this gem up! How about posting "How Do They Know" on its own? I can't find that track on YT anywhere :(
@@anonl5478 I uploaded the requested song (B1, How Do They Know) plus the following three songs (B2, B3, B4); unfortunately it was not possible to load the last track of the second side (B5 - Erudite Eyes (Fripp) -, and not even as single track! Luca ☺

Haven't you thought about digitizing it?

Wtf is this? It's awesome! Terrifies me that if I saw this in a charity shop I'd flip right past it!
Thank you for the complete tracks

Brilliant! Year's ahead of their time
Reminds me of The Association. I love it.
Just imagine this type of madness being released by a major record label to day?
major labels only release stuff by conventionally attractive people nowadays
I would buy it twice
Giles Giles Giles and Fripp were cray yo
Thank you for the upload!
