1 y separately published work icon Gong Dreaming 2 : The Histories and Mysteries of Gong from 1969-1979 Daevid Allen , United Kingdom (UK) : SAF Publishing , 2009 26317845 2009 single work autobiography

'Following the very successful Gong Dreaming 1 (also published by SAF Publishing, Ltd.) and fifteen years in the making, Gong Dreaming 2 is the second part of Daevid Allen’s inimitable autobiography of his life as leader of one of the most enduring psychedelic bands, Gong.

'Spanning 1969-1979, Gong Dreaming 2 covers the making of legendary albums such as Banana Moon, Camembert Electrique, Flying Teapot, and Angel’s Egg; and features appearances from Gilli Smyth, Steve Hillage, and Richard Branson, among others. Lavishly illustrated with over one hundred photos and illustrations from the author’s archives, this is destined to become a collector’s item.'

1 y separately published work icon Gong Dreaming 1 : From Soft Machine to the Birth of Gong Daevid Allen , 1994 United Kingdom (UK) : SAF Publishing , 2006 Z1394843 1994 single work autobiography

'This is a very personal vision quest through a group experience shared by many in the late 1960s. It is not an attempt at a historical documentation of the time but of one person’s visions and hallucinations sewn together with personal memories.

'Why?

'I am well aware that there are better singers, guitarists, storytellers, and songwriters than I surrounding me wherever I go. Yet there is no one but myself who can relate the inner journey that has taken me through 25 years of minor celebrity as father of two of Britain’s seminal cult psychedelic bands, born from the cultural and social revolution that began in 1967.'
