Thank you. I have been trying to locate this version for years. Later, in a Godley & Creme song (I Pity Inanimate Objects) they recreate the flute solo from this song and play it on the Gizmotron!

WOW! Thank you for this priceless post. I'm familiar with the "Thinks School Stinks" version. I had no idea this existed...and I thought I had EVERYTHING Godley & Creme.

Many many thanks for this mate - KG is such an under-appreciated genius. Anyone know the history if this version? Was it released as a single or is the 100% Proof LP a collection of vault recordings? Also - is Lol involved in this as well? The backing vocals sound very much like his singing - a bit too high for KG - and I always thought that the early recordings under various different names were both of them working together. Thanks again!!!

mike nicoll - hey mike - as far as i am aware, this track only ever saw release on the "100 proof" comp LP. sounds to my ear like it might even be a home recording. "100 Proof" was a budget-priced label sampler that featured tracks by most of the marmalade roster (brian auger & julie driscoll, the blossom toes, etc etc). godley & creme did release one single on maramalade (as "frabjoy and runcible spoon" in 1969), but as far as i am aware that was their only release for the label, aside from this track.

@@euphorik6 Just to add to this, I believe this was a demo track submitted by Godley and Creme to Giorgio Gomelsky for the "Frabjoy and Runcible Spoon" album, but Marmalade went broke before that album could actually be recorded. So this is both Lol and Kevin on the demo, although it was credited only to Kevin (not to Frabjoy and Runcible Spoon) for some reason.

@@pdeckder thanks very much for all of this information, which is new to me. i had always suspected that this track was some sort of home recording (though a spectacularly well-recorded home recording!) - i had no idea that a frabjoy LP had been planned for release. can you tell me any more about that? thanks again for the great info.

euphorik6 Gomelsky signed Lol and Kevin for an album, but his label was so disorganized that they (including Graham & Eric, who played on the single) drove down to the London studio from Manchester for the booked studio time at least once and no one was there. They did get a few songs done, including the single, but then the money ran out. However, according to Kevin, most of the songs (including this one) were recycled and re-recorded for the Hotlegs LP, which was recorded while Graham was in the US working off the remainder of his contract with Super K Productions.

Written by Godley & Creme and later on the album by Hotlegs Thinks: School Stinks as the title "Fly Away". Also search for "Frabjoy and Runcible Spoon"

I'm SURE I had this wonderful song on another compilation though I can't think of the name of it. I'm sure it was NOT 100% as none of the other tracks are familiar to me. Great to hear it again.

Wow is this the young voice of Kevin Godley. Later 10cc? Did he wrote it too?
