1968 ACID-POP UNIQUENESS by pre-CRIMSON TRIO
The Cheerful Insanity Of
Giles Giles & Fripp
\ UK - (light blue/silver) - DERAM RECORDS - SPA 423
RARE minty British collectible from 1968 on the highly collected (light blue & silver) Deram Records label ...still in remarkable clean condition (see below song titles), richly laminated cover
Pre - KING CRIMSON, this 1968 UK guitar trio features Crimson leader Robert Fripp in his unique debut on vinyl...Released in 1968, The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp was the first album by Giles, Giles and Fripp, the band that would become the progressive rock group King Crimson before the release of it's second album. Less like King Crimson and more like Syd Barrett, Giles Giles & Fripp is a grower with repeat listens and offers many sparkling returns in its unique delivery and melodic creation....
The songs that comprise "The Saga of Rodney Toady" were on the first side of the original vinyl album and the "Just George" songs were on the second side. The names of the parts came from the titles of spoken word pieces recited by members of the band linking the music together. The album mixes various styles such as folk, classical, pop, psychedelic rock and sacred music.
If you ever wondered why Crimson's first two albums were so "negative", just listen to "The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp" and try to imagine that YOU were the one responsible for releasing it in a world that had been stormed by the Beatles, scorned by the Velvets, and evened out by Viet Nam, MLK, Bobby Kennedy, et al.... This record came out 2 years too late to be important, and as such was rightfully dismissed as post pop/psychedelia.
Now imagine that you are Frobert Ripp and you are sitting there in Wimburne/Dorset, UK watching the rest of the world NOT EVEN REACT to your first record that you put so much heart and soul into....AHHH YESS the pessimism of IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING now makes sense. You are pissed. You want the Universe to end. So you put aside the humor, the warmth, and the charm that makes "The Cheerful Insanity...." so appealing aside and go straight for the acid-pumping jugular of 1969. You take no prisoners.
