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\r\n\r\n \r\nTracks\r\n1 Erudite Eyes\r\n2 I Talk to the Wind (1)\r\n3 Make It Today\r\n4 Wonderland\r\n5 She Is Loaded\r\n6 Scrivens\r\n7 Why Don't You Just Drop In?\r\n8 Suite No. 1\r\n9 I Talk to the Wind (2)\r\n10 Under the Sky\r\n11 Plastic Pennies\r\n12 Tremolo Study in E Major (Spanish Suite)\r\n13 Passages of Time\r\n14 Hypocrite\r\n15 Digging My Lawn (A)\r\n16 Tremolo Study in E Major (Spanish Suite)\r\n17 Newly Weds\r\n18 Suite No. 1\r\n19 Scrivens\r\n20 Make It Today (A)\r\n21 Digging My Lawn (B)\r\n22 Why Don't You Just Drop in (I)\r\n23 I Talk to the Wind (1)\r\n24 Under the Sky (*)\r\n25 Plastic Pennies\r\n26 Passages of Time\r\n27 Under the Sky (*)\r\n28 Murder\r\n29 I Talk to the Wind (2)\r\n30 Erudite Eyes\r\n31 Make It Today (B)\r\n32 Wonderland\r\n33 Why Don't You Just Drop in (II)\r\n34 She Is Loaded\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 07\/04\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49258239885554,"sku":"IPGT18-5VJU-WD","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/giles-giles-fripp-the-brondesbury-tapes-import_ojett.jpg?v=1779709174","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/the-brondesbury-tapes-import","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
