GILES, GILES & FRIPP The Cheerful Insanity Of Giles, Giles &
Fripp | The Songs (A long-overdue reappraisal of this cult
1968 Decca debut, The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles &
Fripp now appears for the first time in a standalone
songs-only edition, remastered in 2025 to remove the
spoken word segments and present the material as a
continuous musical statement. The result is a delightfully
eccentric blend of late-'60s British psychedelia, baroque pop,
and folk whimsy, spotlighting early guitar work from a
pre-King Crimson Robert Fripp. Remastered for CD by Alex
R. Mundy at DGM, this edition restores the album's
musical flow while adding 6 bonus tracks, including
several featuring future Crimson member Ian McDonald.
Quirky, melodic, and oddly beautiful, this version allows the
songs to shine on their own terms, revealing a hidden gem of
the psychedelic era. Jewel case with booklet insert, factory
sealed).
