gong
gong's "space jazz rock" should need no introduction. daevid allen, gilli smyth, pierre moerlen, didier malherbe and pip pyle have been around for quite a while and they've already published a huge catalogue. gas records originally started out as a fan club (gong appreciation society) but was taken over 1986 to become a mail order network. gas publishes all sorts of merchandise, including records. "family jewels" is such a thing. it's two cds, but more then half of the tracks are taken from previous releases. so it's a sort of "best of" compilation, but with a lot of unreleased tracks. one of the unreleased tracks is 'little house i used to live in' (frank zappa), performed by pierre moerlen and l'orchestre regionale de jazz d'alsace. it's taken from a concert registration in strasbourg in 1997. on the cd, it's right behind david allen playing miles davis' 'so what'.
