The Cheerful Insanity Of Giles, Giles & Fripp | The Songs + Bonus Tracks - Sealed

GILES, GILES & FRIPP The Cheerful Insanity Of Giles, Giles & Fripp | The Songs (A long-overdue reappraisal of this cult 1968 Decca debut, The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles & Fripp now appears for the first time in a standalone songs-only edition, remastered in 2025 to remove the spoken word segments and present the material as a continuous musical statement. The result is a delightfully eccentric blend of late-'60s British psychedelia, baroque pop, and folk whimsy, spotlighting early guitar work from a pre-King Crimson Robert Fripp. Remastered for CD by Alex R. Mundy at DGM, this edition restores the album's musical flow while adding 6 bonus tracks, including several featuring future Crimson member Ian McDonald. Quirky, melodic, and oddly beautiful, this version allows the songs to shine on their own terms, revealing a hidden gem of the psychedelic era. Jewel case with booklet insert, factory sealed)
