That's my main question too

Looks and sounds great to me. You can hear him playing and there are some good angles on him. I'm not too familiar with the backstory on this so can't really say more. It's a wacky version of IO, they start with a jam and much later does the IO riff start to come through. Seems reasonably complete as they show him setting up and tuning with David; I think however the later portion of the song goes to credits and b-roll of the festival, however there is a good amount of performance footage. It was late when I watched it, so I don't rightly recall.

That's my main question too

I'm watching it now, nine minutes in, it doesn't sound like IO, yet... ah here we go... I'm diggin' it ....Frank sounds like he's playing one of his own things over the freeform, it sounds familiar, just can't think what it is..

Ok, had noticed the other sides, but hadn't felt it to see it was a cardboard band. But I still think it was someone's bit of a joke.

Just a bit of good old British irony.....Entirely genuine.

Nah, it's a reference to scenes in the More film... shows how many people have actually watched the film

Very pleased with some of the new audio on this. The Capital Studios tracks are amazing. John Latham is utterly odd, and fantastically coherent. Only had a quick chance to sample the first 5 discs so far...

I like this version with FZ. The audio is 20 min long. Is the video 20 min too?

Mine hasn't arrived yet and how did you get it early isn't it supposed to come out tomorrow right on the 11th?

Are you Amazon Prime? My Amazon deliveries always seem to arrive next day, and it was despatched yesterday, so I guess I'm just lucky. I did pre-order very early on though, maybe they're processing them in order?

Hi All,

My only gripe so far is the bonus CD except Echoes is fit for the bin, ive never heard the BBC stuff sound so bad, especially Reaction in G and Set the Controls since the BBC played the good versions on the radio not so long ago, theyve also faded them into each other really oddly and POW R TOC H is missing the ending.

I thought Moonhead was fine, but I otherwise agree with you. The sound quality is the pits compared to other circulating versions of the same tracks.

Does your copy of track 02, Scarecrow have an annoying, nearly painful whistling on the track? I could barely listen to the thing.

A bit of a let down after the first CD (Cambridge Station, 1967) knocked my socks off.

I shifted to 1969 Dramatisation for a palate cleanser, specifically the Man and Journey Suite. So much better. No complaints. Whew.

Are the arty shots of the sea and sky missing from the St Tropez footage of GitC?
