Yes, I'd recommend it. In particular, the live LoG discs are quite good. However, if you have Sid's book or Prog mag subscription, then the liner notes become "haven't I read this somewhere else??"

Corrected date for Indy.
More dates to be added, per Leonardo.
West coast dates are in ~March 2025
Having seen the band twice in the past year, they are not to be missed. Sure, it's not Gong...
Thank you.

I love this album.
Was emailing with Jonny at GAS today and he's knee deep in work. Brian A reports that the audio is mostly complete. It'll be ready when it's ready?!?
I wonder how easy/hard that will be to find over here in the USA
According to Brian Abbot (on the Planet Gong FB page), the audio is done and it's scheduled for 2023. Cross fingers, and save your pennies.
I have this, CD arrived yesterday. It's legit, just as the Camerbert Electrique reissue was in 2015. Sounds fantastic, lots of headroom. Liner notes are a big 'naff.
The bonus tracks (Garcon et...

I'm excited, but maybe the tour before the album? It takes quite some time for a major label to get an album out, and if PG is still tweakin'...
Huge fan of the og stuff, and Il Risveglio Del Principe was amazing. Didn't like Il Principe Del Regno Perduto because of the vocals. How is the new one?
I lived his releases, bought most all of them upon release. In particular, 1978 offered ATTWT, Wise After the Event and Please Don't Touch, three of a perfect pair of Genesis/related releases in a...
I understand that people spend money on things they love, I know I am guilty of it (I bought all of the GlassHouse CDs). But there doesn't seem to be much "value" in this box. Roughly the same price...
Great stuff

Completely agree, fantastic album.
As for the Box, it's really product to celebrate 50 years. The remix album, I mean, Hallo Gallo is perfect, why mess with it? Unenviable task.
Pictures are on Instagram.

I always thought that the advance from RCA paid for Nemo Studios? Anyway, I also thought Vangelis composed a lot of Olias too ;)

Yep, I ordered from Schizoid Shop, but haven't heard a peep from them. Thanks for the email, I'll write them again.

I did not get that email. so "most" DGM-customers" not all.
it's very refreshing to watch these and see that over the course of four hours that they still rekindle the band of brothers they once may have been.
As anyone received theirs from DGM US?
The Unburied Treasure boxset from 2019 states "All music on the 29 CDs has been newly remastered by Pete Reynolds". The $15 question is, is this new release of Civilian the same version as in UT?...
I've done it quite a few times. Precision event!
I picked it up as well. I sent all my Wire boots to Colin ages ago. Most of the tracks are on Behind The Curtain, IIRC, but it's a really cool slab of vinyl.

I emailed with the author today. He's selling books, even commented that "all the orders today are from the USA"!

My exact sentiments too!
I find good deals all the time on discogs. Not only that, I've found many sellers that are very receptive to Make Offer. Discogs is the best.

Review of the latest from another Chicagoan.

Makes no sense to only press that many. Maybe that's just me.
I'm really anxious about this album because for me, ELAHE hands down the best work they've ever done. That album is a jewel, a gem.
They don't. ;) My wife and I them stories every now and then about musician's we've met, etc (she worked for Rolling Stone and RRHoF). They kind say "that's cool, dad", but they're teenagers - I'm...

Jerry Boys production on this album is phenomenal.
Great article here:

As a Child of the early 60s, it was AM radio first, then FM radio. Roundabout in particular caught my ear, but it was The Beatles from my earliest ages that captured my love for all music from the UK.
FYI I also ordered the Magic Brother CD from BYG via bandcamp. Delivery is April 2022.
"Estimated to ship April 6, 2022 and estimated to arrive no later than May 18, 2022"
As Uncle Roger would say ... "Not bad, Not bad"
The gang are Gong!
I discovered Gong via my love of Soft Machine and Caravan. My father travelled internationally for his work. He told me he was going to Paris, so I asked him to pickup any albums he could find by...

CD LIK catalog prefixes. These are from the early 90s

The band recently posted the OG master tapes, so I imagine this is probably a proper remaster? Or just something for the market?
Charles: I worked in a record store in the late ’70s early ’80s....
The channels on this new remaster (which I purchased from Bandcamp as a 44.1k/24b FLAC) are identical to the BYG 529 305 LP I own. This sounds fantastic, I may even spring for the discs now.

Hurry up post office!
Always later than sooner... but 30CDs is a lot to digest and perhaps inge$t let another couple boxsets. At some point, just go digital with it! Perhaps the Longlaville release is more stop-gap, keep...
Keeps saving those pennies, GAS work on the huge all encompassing box set. From Brian Abbott on the Planet Gong FB group:
"Just want to say in 2022 there will be an amazing box set via GAS and...
I passed on this... mainly because the only thing I would indulge in is the coffee table book; Caravan have been well-represented in the reissue market. The Universal reissues circa 2000 were some of...
Nice. It took me a little bit to figure out how to fit my subwoofer in with my new ProAcs. The answer was only for the lowest of lows, and positioning to arrive at the same time. It's almost...
Fortunately, he's got Burning Shed, who will more than fill in the gap.
Sad indeed, he has had a neurodegenerative disease for some time. There aren't that many artists that have a career of his scope, and I've enjoyed collecting albums that span his entire career. RIP,...
FYI, I have a pair of ProAc D20R's that I am demoing with the intent to purchase.... very nice speaker.
She's very fun!

I always burned CDs for the car, which had a "slot" input on the dash. Now I have a new car with USB, bluetooth, but I mainly listen to the radio!
Why don't you go digital and skip the CD-Rs? I play CDs once - to rip to my hard drive. I'm using Roon software and a Lumin dac/streamer. Fantastic. The Lumin does a better job than my CD player, and...

Sad news. Sounds like he had a tough go of it, even with his substantial latter-day success. RIP, your memory is secure.
