Giles, Giles And Fripp - The Cheerful Insanity Of Giles, Giles & Fripp (LP) (Near Mint (NM or M-))

Media Condition: Near Mint (NM or M-)
Sleeve Condition: Near Mint (NM or M-)

Top keeper with OBI and insert. Japan 1976 pressing. Essential pre-King Crimson 1968 album from Robert Fripp with Michael and Peter Giles. A uniquely British mix of psychedelic pop, jazz/classical touches, quirky humour and spoken-word interludes, very different from later Crimson but full of eccentric charm and historical importance. Strong pick for King Crimson, Deram, UK psych and early prog collectors.
