Original U.K. 3 lp set offered in celebration of the Glastonbury Fayre, including music by the artists who played there, including some tracks recorded at the 1971 version of the festival itself ( PINK FAIRIES, MIGHTY BABY, EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND), and numerous recordings made off-site, like THE GRATEFUL DEAD's side long "Dark Star" from an April, '72 show at Wembley, or Trident Studios recordings of David Bowie and also SKIN ALLEY; rare, relevant home demo recordings by Marc Bolan, and also Pete Townshend, an incredible, nearly 8-minute "Silver Machine" by HAWKWIND recorded at the ROUNDHOUSE CHALK FARM, and a tremendous side-length jam by GONG, all otherwise unreleased, available only here. This copy is missing the inserts, but is autographed on inner panel in silver pen by GONG's Daevid Allen ( 1938 - 2015) in 1996, and fabled PINK FAIRIES drummer, Twink ( nee John Alder), in 2001, who wrote, "For Larry."
This is absolutely one of the definitive festival lp sets of all time, for prog fans, even more important than "Woodstock." Great performances by all, all tracks otherwise unreleased. A virtual who's who of the British underground of the day.
