I wouldn't call this album a favourite but it is an archive of the beginnings of something 

 

Its an experimental album of exploration for these two artists

These exoeriments were a precursor of what was to come 

What did eventualy come was a swag of material that can be described as gold 

 

An album to be used as a precursor to what's now called ambient music 

And Robert Fripp discivered Frippertronics

More info to read

 I knew I had the King Crimson LP, but I had forgotten about "God Save The Queen"!  Thanks Full Range, for motivating me to re-discover the Fripp in my collection. Fripp talks about Eno and "No Pussyfooting" in the liner notes,  "The system of recording by which two Revoxes form a signal loop and layer sound was introduced to me by Brian Eno in July 1972 in his small front room while we recorded what became the first side of "No Pussyfooting"."

And now for something completely different.... A record album with THREE sides.IMG_0633.thumb.JPG.d1680a892c79d8bafaecdf4c7dda038c.JPG

That's right, "The Monty Python Matching Tie and Handkerchief" LP has three 'sides'. One side (B)  has concentric grooves, two completely different tracks on one side of the album. The labels on both sides say "SIDE 2".  According to the Wikipedia page,  the original UK release in 1973 came with a real tie and handkerchief, and was distributed through menswear stores.  My American issue from Arista Records in 1975 did not. I bought it new and played it many times before accidentally discovering the hidden track.  Does anyone know of any other albums with this unique feature? 

Cheers,

Jim

I haven't heard it myself but it sounds amazing 

 

Info sourced from the net  

Matching Tie and Handkerchief" (Arista Records 1973). 
Put it on side 2. Of course, since it's Python both sides are labled side 2 but one has the designation "SB". 
Start the album, listen to the opening of the first skit. 
Then, restart the album. You may have to lift and place the stylus a few times before you hit the parallel groove, but when you do you will get a completely different track. This runs through the whole side. 
One can have  this album for months before One heard the third side. At first you could not figure out why the second side seemed so much shorter than the first.
