Limited olive colored vinyl LP pressing.
This limited edition definitive remastered edition of the album has been restored and mastered from the original tapes. Pressed on 180-gram black vinyl, it is housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with a matte laminate finish. Mastered to vinyl by Nick Robbins, with lacquers cut by Cicely Balston at Air Studios, it also includes an insert featuring exclusive liner notes by music journalist Kevin Le Gendre.Daevid Allen's mind-bending debut solo album Banana Moon-from the founder of Gong and The Soft Machine! Teaming up with drumming icons Robert Wyatt and Pip Pyle, bassist Archie Legget, and powerhouse vocalist Maggie Bell, Banana Moon erupts with a wild fusion of psychedelic rock and chaotic, rebellious Dadaism. The eight songs on the record run from interludes of just under a minute to epic suites that exceed ten, making it clear that Daevid Allen, as his work with Gong suggested, gave full vent to his imagination whether he was writing songs with a quasi-Beatles pop appeal, or engaging in unrestrained sonic flights of fancy. With lyrical curveballs being thrown on every track, none more so than 'Fred The Fish And The Chip On His Shoulder', the music has a wry charm to match the performance skills of the band. This newly remastered Banana Moon revives Daevid Allen's fearless musical vision, pulsing with the raw energy and rebellious spirit that still captivates and shocks today.
Limited double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. This 10th anniversary edition of the soundtrack to the 2004 motion picture now comes with a new handwritten note from Zach Braff.
