{"product_id":"brondesbury-tapes-cd","title":"Brondesbury Tapes [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eGiles, Giles \u0026amp; Fripp's 1968 demo home recordings, newly remastered by David Singleton. A must-have collection for King Crimson fans with some early indication of the band's sound \/ repertoire. CD includes all 21 previously released tracks from the Brondesbury Road tapes. Moving into 93a Brondesbury Road in 1968, Peter Giles, Michael Giles and Robert Fripp's North London flat soon became a centre of creative activity for the trio. Feeling energised after the frustrations they'd experienced while recording \"The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles \u0026amp; Fripp\" at Decca, they soon established their living space into a home studio (consisting of one Revox reel-to-reel tape machine) which was frequently visited by ex-Fairport Convention vocalist Judy Dyble, a then unknown Ian McDonald and, later in 1969, by Greg Lake. The musical output from that period is often mentioned as providing King Crimson fans with a glimpse into the early incarnation of the band's sound and composition. The popular Crimson ballad 'I Talk To The Wind' appears here in two early versions with one featuring Peter Giles on vocals and the other with Judy Dyble on vocals. Parts of Fripp's 'Suite No. 1' would later be transformed into 'Prelude: Song Of The Gulls' and his 'Why Don't You Just Drop In' became, with new lyrics, 'The Letters' for 1971's album \"Islands\". The Fripp-composed 'Passages of Time' is also of interest, consisting of a driving bolero rhythm and a middle-eight section that would later find it's way onto King Crimson's \"In the Wake of Poseidon\" as 'Peace - A Theme'. Although the audio quality is limited in places due to the original source, the 2025 remastering by David Singleton has improved the sound significantly compared to previous issues\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErudite Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Talk to the Wind (1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake It Today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWonderland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Is Loaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrivens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Don't You Just Drop In?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuite No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Talk to the Wind (2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnder the Sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic Pennies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTremolo Study in E Major (Spanish Suite)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassages of Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypocrite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigging My Lawn (A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTremolo Study in E Major (Spanish Suite)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly Weds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuite No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrivens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake It Today (A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigging My Lawn (B)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Don't You Just Drop in (I)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Talk to the Wind (1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnder the Sky (*)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic Pennies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassages of Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnder the Sky (*)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMurder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Talk to the Wind (2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErudite Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake It Today (B)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWonderland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Don't You Just Drop in (II)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Is Loaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 633367797629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panegyric\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.4.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Giles Giles \u0026 Fripp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45456160391366,"sku":"273678","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/4432036-3400668.jpg?v=1768505715","url":"https:\/\/paladinvinyl.com\/products\/brondesbury-tapes-cd","provider":"Paladin Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
