When I was 16 and at college, 50 years ago, there was a question you asked to see if a person was cool or not.

You would ask “What’s yer favourite Gong album?”

Any name given, from Camenbert Electrique (my favourite), to Angel Egg or Flying Teapot would do.

But “Who’s Gong?” would not do. Uncool.

Here they are from that time, long ago. Daevid Allen, the lead singer, was central; he was the pivotal figure over many years and band members.

So I was pleased to hear this from 2024…

They were a thing of a time and place, the place was France, and the time was the 70’s.

But it’s good to hear that the spirit lives on.

So what’s yer favourite Gong album?
