Love that bass!!!! Gong - What Do You Want?

From Wiki: The original soundtrack album of the film Continental Circus, containing music credited to "Gong with Daevid Allen", recorded in 1971 and originally released in 1971 or 1972 in France on Philips 6332 033.

I only heard the album once - a friend lent it to me years ago, but foolishly I never got around to taping it and now its as rare as rocking horse poop. There was one track on it were the lyrics go something like.."Lucky time chaser..the greatest private rider in the world". That song still lingers in my mind. Any chance of uploading that one?

Ah yes, I know the track you mean! I'll upload that this weekend when I get back home.

[Timebandit720]

Many thanks - look forward to that!

[kottmeier]

Well the track is called "Blues for Findlay" and it clocks in at 11:18 which is above YT's limit of 10 mins. I tried to upload it anyway and it was rejected as being too long, sorry. I did also see that people have posted a shorter version of this song YT

[Timebandit720]

Didn't know there was a movie to this - can you get it on video/DVD?

[kottmeier]

If anyone knows the answer to this, I'd really like to know as well. I downloaded the movie about 2 years ago and the quality is poor.

Fohat dig holes in space with other lyrics,

thanks for posting that song.

i wish we could post more from Gong's Continental Circus soundtrack but most of the tracks are too long to be posted,=/

The movie made me cry when I saw it first (and probably will when I see it again).
