  This record has no timings listed for the tracks, and it's somewhat difficult to determine where to split them, so I didn't.
Also- I zipped side b with side d for the sake of those of you who might want to have Henry Cow and Gong sets but not Camel and/or Global Village Trucking Company sets, which are (in my not-so-humble opinion) of lesser value. You decide.

  2. I bought this when it first came out, lost it with most of my albums during hurricane Ivan here in Florida. Thank you for posting it. Fans of Pub-Rock will enjoy Global Village, I really enjoyed Gong and Henry Cow (they are in my list of to 10 bands of all time...) years ago I managed record stores in Phoenix, AZ and had the pleasure of having Daevid Allen stay at my home for a week while he was doing a one man singer/poet tour of the states... I have always wished I would had him sign my copies of the Gong albums, but they were all destroyed in Ivan... Kay-Sa-Ra-Sa-Ra... thanks again for this posting.

  3. I also bought this when new. I used to just play the Gong & Henry Cow tracks, and it's a record I've come back to many times over the years, but now for some reason I find when I take it out it's usually the Global Village Trucking Company side I play. Maybe I'm getting old! Whaetver, all I'm saying is grab the whole thing while it's going, you never know what you are going to like in 40 years time!
