Digitally Mastered from the Original BYG Tapes by Nick Robbins with Two Original Single-Version Bonus Tracks and 16-Page Booklet

Having been part of the fabled ‘Canterbury scene' along with luminaries such as Robert Wyatt and Pip Pyle the irrepressible Australian guitarist-vocalist-songwriter Daevid Allen formed Gong with Welsh vocalist Gilli Smyth in Paris at the end of the ‘60s as France was in state of ferment. Magick Brother introduced Gong as one of the great oddities of the psychedelic and space rock age. The nucleus of Allen, Smyth and Malherbe was able to create a musical vocabulary very much of its own all the while searching for essential metaphysical truths. The band made strong political statements that comes through loud and clear on this re-mastered version of Gong's debut album. Expanded with two original single-version tracks. Magick Brother has been digitally mastered from original BYG tapes by Nick Robbins and includes two original single-version tracks plus a 16-page booklet with photos and exclusive liner notes by author and journalist Kevin Le Gendre.
