Description

Gong - Camembert Electrique OG 1971 BYG French 2nd Press inc 2 inserts SIGNED!


Super-rare Original French release Prog gem 


Vinyl is in beautiful NM condition barely played!


Laminated gatefold cover is in VG+ condition - very light wear as shown - laminate excellent and spine strong & legible


Both very scarce original double sided card inserts that form a booklet in Mint unfolded condition


There is a signature on the inside gatefold sleeve in red pen - under the picture of 'Venux de Luxe' who I am informed was the sound engineer

Impossible to fully make out the name - but this item was obtained from a French collector who also had a number of other signed LPs of similar vintage


PLEASE NOTE -  This has been relisted as the original purchaser reported a slight warp and returned it. 

I have checked the record and play tested it (see pics) on my high-end turntable with the correct tracking and can find no issues at all. Like many vintage records it does not sit 100% flat on the turntable as a brand new pressing would - but this has absolutely no bearing on the audio reproduction when played on a system with the correct set up.


  • Notes

    'This LP was recorded during full moons of May, & June & September, 1971, chez Michel Magne at Strawberry Studios, Herrouville, France.'

    This is the 2nd Byg pressing
    - Disc has orange/yellow labels with a large BYG buddah logo.
    - Gatefold laminated sleeve.
    - Album lyric inserts included : drawn by Daevid Allen and printed on two LP-sized pieces of blue card intended to be folded into an 8 page booklet. Only in this booklet are Eddy Louiss (also called "Eddy Lewis") and Constantin Simonovitch credited. All other versions missing this booklet lack this information.
