In all of this Gong talk, why has nobody mentioned "Camembert Electrique" -
unequalled madness, and only ten bob at the time.  Ican't remember what
happened to my copy.

I can remember seeing them playing at Repton School (!) in their teapot &
cheese heyday with Bloomdido & the Hillfish, and the expressions of
bemusement bordering on fear on the faces of the supervising teachers (and
not a little un-public-school-teacher-like lust at Shakti Yoni!).

Sadly, I missed the even more unlikely gig that said school's sixth form
put on about a year later: The Edgar Broughton Band!

TTFN,
