Reviews
This is so much better than the 1st BYG pressing. Hardly any surface noise can be heard. Love it.- Some people say ( not true ) that Charly Records did not use original tapes ???
Sounds immaculate ( and I do have original LP to compare ).
Critics - eat your heart out ! 
Classic early Gong. Pressing is superb and flawless. A must for any Gong fans, if only to save your original.
