Was watching the Hairy Bakers and couldn't believe my ears as they played a bit of a track from "Flying Teapot". Anybody else remember them? Steve Hillage in particular, one of the best guitarists ever.

Dear dm,

I thought I was imagining things but you confirm itsmile

2nd band I ever saw, 1975 Bristol Colston Hall supported by Isotope.

Did everyone have the 50p Camembert Electrique LP at the time?
My favourite is You.
Steve Hillage solo I have (amongst others) a green LP, and still love his version of George Harrison's It's All too Much,

regards,
Jet

Wicki states Camembert was priced at 59p. I'm off up the attic later to see what Gong/Allen/Hillage albums I have. bounce
