Giles Giles & Fripp - Brondesbury Tapes - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rock
- Description: Giles, Giles & Fripp's 1968 demo home recordings, newly remastered by David Singleton. A must-have collection for King Crimson fans with some early indication of the band's sound / repertoire. CD includes all 21 previously released tracks from the Brondesbury Road tapes. Moving into 93a Brondesbury Road in 1968, Peter Giles, Michael Giles and Robert Fripp's North London flat soon became a centre of creative activity for the trio. Feeling energised after the frustrations they'd experienced while recording InchThe Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles & FrippInch at Decca, they soon established their living space into a home studio (consisting of one Revox reel-to-reel tape machine) which was frequently visited by ex-Fairport Convention vocalist Judy Dyble, a then unknown Ian McDonald and, later in 1969, by Greg Lake. The musical output from that period is often mentioned as providing King Crimson fans with a glimpse into the early incarnation of the band's sound and composition. The popular Crimson ballad 'I Talk To The Wind' appears here in two early versions with one featuring Peter Giles on vocals and the other with Judy Dyble on vocals. Parts of Fripp's 'Suite No. 1' would later be transformed into 'Prelude Song Of The Gulls' and his 'Why Don't You Just Drop In' became, with new lyrics, 'The Letters' for 1971's album InchIslandsInch. The Fripp-composed 'Passages of Time' is also of interest, consisting of a driving bolero rhythm and a middle-eight section that would later find it's way onto King Crimson's InchIn the Wake of PoseidonInch as 'Peace - A Theme'. Although the audio quality is limited in places due to the original source, the 2025 remastering by David Singleton has improved the sound significantly compared to previous issues Album Tracks 1. Erudite Eyes 2. I Talk to the Wind (1) 3. Make It Today 4. Wonderland 5. She Is Loaded 6. Scrivens 7.

The long awaited of the Brian Wilson and Beach Boys masterpiece, THE SMILE SESSIONS. With the full participation of original Beach Boys Al Jardine, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson, Capitol/EMI has, for the first time, collected and compiled the bands legendary 1966-67 sessions for the never-completed SMILE album. In numerous sessions between the spring of 1966 and summer of 1967, The Beach Boys recorded a bounty of songs and drafts for an album, SMILE, that was intended to follow the bands 1966 album, PET SOUNDS. The master tapes were ultimately shelved, and The Beach Boys SMILE has never been released. Drawn from the original masters, THE SMILE SESSIONS presents an in-depth overview of The Beach Boys recording sessions for the enigmatic album, which has achieved legendary, mythical status for music fans around the world. Album Tracks 1. Our Prayer 2. Gee 3. Heroes and Villains 4. Do You Like Worms (Roll Plymouth Rock) 5. I'm in Great Shape 6. Barnyard 7.
