The Cheerful Insanity Of Giles Giles & Fripp +6 [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD] [Limited Release]

Giles, Giles and Fripp - The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp (UK 1968) The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp was the first album from the 1960s psychedelic rock group Giles, Giles and Fripp. In addition to 13 songs, the album contains two comedic spoken word pieces, "The Saga of Rodney Toady" and "Just George", which are interspersed between the songs. The album is a mix of various styles (folk, classical, pop, psychedelic rock and religious music). According to Robert Fripp the album sold only 500 copies. This information came from his royalty statement, but it is very unlikely that this was the total number of original copies sold.
