Format:Audio CD
This CD is made up of home recordings made by Peter Giles at the joint home of Giles, Giles and Fripp, complete with historical and technical notes.
Ian McDonald plays on 16 of the 21 tracks, adding sax, flute, keyboards and vocals to tunes from 'The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles & Fripp'. Also appearing here are new songs by Peter Giles, Robert Fripp and McDonald/Sinfield. These include two early versions of 'I Talk To The Wind', one of which, with Judy Dyble on lead vocals, appeared on the 'Young Person's Guide To King Crimson'.
The CD takes the playful spirit of the Decca LP made by the band, and expands the musical exploration on it with different instrumentations courtesy Mr. McDonald and jazz leanings. The new songs are mostly just as melodically brilliant as the released ones, and some ideas were revived for future King Crimson albums.
Judy Dyble's vocal contributions invoke the magic of the first Fairport Convention album, which adds to this CD appeal.
The CD represent the evolution from the down to earth joviality that dominates 'The Cheerful Insanity' towards the structured dark themes of 'In The Court Of The Crimson King', and is a must for everyone who likes these two brilliant albums.

If you're a Crimso nut since In the Court of the Crimson King, this CD is an essential for your library.
Ian MacDonald and Mike Giles feature strongly as does the crystal voice of Judy Dyble (the original Fairports singer). There'a an altogether more folky/jazzy feel than most later KC work and you get a sense of where they might have gone if they'd kept Ian MacDonald. Would a female singer have worked on "The rusted chains of prison moons"? Perhaps not.
As the booklet with the CD explains at incomprehensible length, the recording was a triumph of skill over very limited taping technology.
What's best about it all? The tightness and technical skill of the players; the wide range of experimentation which gives you hints of everything that followed; the occasionally camp humour ("Why don't you just drop dead?"); and the drumming of Mike Giles which was then and remains a lesson in technique for mindless rock kit bashers. Listen to how much space he leaves. Listen.
Nary a sign of a mellotron though. Useless knowledge dept:- Did you know that a mellotron weighs about 140kg and KC had three of them on the road at one stage?
Gripes: one really fuzzy track. 2 versions of "I talk to the Wind" is a bit of overkill. But they do show what Greg Lake added.
