Gong - Gong Est Mort (1977)

 During May of 1977 Gong held a bit of a festival that featured a number of Gong iterations plus offshoots of Gong, all in one place. As part of this most of the classic Radio Gnome lineup reunited to play a full set and this is the result. There were some issues from Virgin Records and as a consequence Steve Hillage is left uncredited and even had his face blanked out (unbeknownst to him). It’s not all too different from the earlier recordings of “Live, Etc.” but both are excellent enough if you’re a gong freak (like me). Good shit. 

1979 French reissue on Tapioca.
