"The classic album, a precursor to King Crimson, now 24-bit remastered from the original master tapes. New fully restored artwork. This great album is where it all began for the King Crimson stalwarts. An excellent late '60s album which touches on psychedelic pop, (often compared to early Syd Barrett -ra Pink Floyd) with jazz influences and a whimsical brand of surreal humor. Fripp's guitar is on top form on 'Suite No. 1' and shows the shape of things to come when in 1969 when he and Mike Giles teamed up with Greg Lake and Ian McDonald to form King Crimson. This re-mastered reissue comes with six bonus tracks and enhanced artwork and should appeal to all lovers of eccentric late '60s psychedelia and fans of King Crimson."

"Important document of the origins of King Crimson -- the historic, lost 'heavy sequel' to The Cheerful Insanity of.... Unbelievably pristine 'bedroom' recordings from 1968 by Robert Fripp's group with the Giles Brothers. Also features King Crimson founding member Ian McDonald, along with Fairport Convention's pre-Sandy Denny vocalist, Judy Dyble. Intricate like King Crimson, with a wicked pop sensibility -- if Crimson was the butterfly, GG&F were the caterpillar. This is the first time that these recordings have been available on CD. They've been digitally remastered and incorporate previously unreleased material. Sleeve notes by Peter Giles are highly detailed and feature previously unpublished photographs."
