Description
Digitally remastered edition. What You See IUs What You Are, was at Recorded live at the Albany Empire and Stonehenge Festival, 1978 and original issued on Depford Fun City label. Here & Now are an English psychedelic/space rock band formed in early 1974. They have close connections with the band Gong and in 1977/1978 worked with Gong's Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth under the name Planet Gong. In this combination released a live album Floating Anarchy 1977 and a single "Opium for the People". Floating Anarchy 1977 is reputed to have sold around 250,000 copies, more than any other Gong record. Although credited to Zero (A pseudonym of Daevid Allen) the bulk of the material on the album was selected from Here & Now's original repertoire they had built up from jamming at festivals. In 1978 Here & Now also forged a strong relationship with punk pundit Mark P.'s group Alternative TV, touring together. This joint live album What You See Is What You Are was originally issued in 1978 and has never seen the light of day on CD until now. This is a real slice of underground history. And it doesn't get much freakier than this!
