GILES, GILES & FRIPP The Cheerful Insanity Of Giles, Giles &
Fripp | The Songs (Available for the first time as a
standalone, song-only release, The Cheerful
Insanity of Giles, Giles & Fripp receives a thoughtful
2025 remaster by David Singleton - stripped of its
original spoken word interludes to focus solely on the musical
content. Originally issued in 1968 on Decca, this cult classic
marks the early collaboration between Peter Giles, Michael
Giles, and a young Robert Fripp - blending British psychedelia,
baroque pop, and whimsical humour into a curious but
rewarding listening experience. Cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud
Mastering and pressed on 200-gram superheavyweight
vinyl, this new edition restores the album's rich
harmonies, melodic invention, and Fripp's exquisite guitar
textures to their fullest sonic potential. It's an ideal entry
point for collectors interested in the pre-King Crimson roots of
one of progressive rock's most influential guitarists. Picture
