Release information:
Revelations REV1/2/3, April 1972 (UK) - limited edition of 5000.
There is no writing on the front cover, just the wonderful pyramid pictured above. In fact the whole sleeve unfolds into one big poster.
Front page of booklet:
Glastonbury Fayre was held at Worthy Farm, Pilton, near Shepton Mallet, Somerset, from Sunday June 20 to Thursday June 24, encompassing Midsummers Day. It was a fair in the medieval tradition, embodying the legends of the area, with music, dance, poetry, theatre, lights and the opportunity for spontaneous entertainments.There was no monetary profit - it was free.
Performing Schedule:
A performing schedule is included in the booklet. It is typed, but with numerous hand-written strike-throughs, crosses, additions, etc. There is an entry "'Jimi Hendrix - Rainbow Bridge' Midnight" - presumably this film was screened at midnight on the Monday night.
It seems Pink Floyd were scheduled to play at 1 a.m. on the morning of the 23rd, but their name is scratched out!
A random selection of performers from the schedule (not listed above): Traffic, Terry Reid, Toad, Magic Michael, Dave (probably Dave Cousins as his name appears next to a scratched-out Strawbs), Quintessence, Quiver, The Fantasees, Arthur Brown, The Illusions...
Extracts from The Glastonbury Fayre History Webpage:
The festival moved to the time of the Summer Solstice and was known as the "Glastonbury Fayre". It had been planned by Andrew Kerr (Randolph Churchill's PA for many years) and Arabella Churchill who felt all other festivals at the time were over commercialised. It was paid for by the few who supported the ideal so the entrance was free and took a medieval tradition of music, dance, poetry, theatre, lights and spontaneous entertainment. It was in this year that the first "pyramid" stage was constructed out of scaffolding and expanded metal covered with plastic sheeting, built on a site above the Glastonbury-Stonehenge ley line. The musicians who performed recorded a now very rare album. The festival is also captured "a la Woodstock" by a film crew that included Nick Roeg and David Puttnam. This film was called "Glastonbury Fayre".Acts included: Hawkwind, Traffic, Melanie, David Bowie, Joan Baez and Fairport Convention.
Attendance: estimated at 12,000.
Price: Free
Extract from Gong discography page:
According to various sources, the Gong tracks on this album were not recorded during the actual festival, but in Belgium several months after, by which time Laurie Allan had become the band's drummer.Extracts from "The Electric Score" (sleeve notes):
Gong At Glastonbury...and if you were wondering who was playing in the band - so are we. How was Peter Pussydog, the Tangerine Flash in California, and how come Laurie Allen was gigging in London with Fat Harry when Gong appeared at Glastonbury? So who in their right mind would want to work out the everyday rational reason when the result is (anyway) this recording by Venux.
