Daevid Allen & Euterpe (Obscura No.1 Studio Rehearsal Tapes (1977)
Quite wonderful, especially with the continued non appearance of Daevid’s ‘Good Morning’ on CD again. For anyone who’s favourite Daevid musical era is the late Deya period this is an indespensible release. The cover says that it’s a rehearsal for 1977 Gong reunion gig at Hippodrome in Paris and was recorded at Bananamoon Observatory studio in Deya, Majorca.
These CDs are in matt black card covers with silver and white printing drawn and designed by Daevid. This is the first of a planned 20CD series! Each release will a limited pressing of 1000 copies only – no more will be pressed.

those were the days ..
Gong is one of my all time favorites but I didn’t even know the very existence of this rehearsal tape. Your blog rules!
Thank you and have a good day.
Thanks a lot for this, I wasn’t aware of its existence either.
I have to agree with you that the “continued non appearance” of Good Morning is a crying shame. It’s a beautiful album and any person’s Gong/Daevid Allen collection is all the poorer for its absence.
I am sure you will be delighted to know the remastered and beautifully packaged reissue of Good Morning is available on 25th September from Esoteric Recordings-A Cherry Red label.
