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.
