Geronimo Starship recorded the 1971 Glastonbury Fayre. Some of those recordings were issued on a triple vinyl set by Revelation Records in 1972. The current release on Akarma Records is a shoddy bootleg dubbed from the vinyl. Please do not buy it. In 2008 the original album will be officially reissued by the people who recorded it. We have the original tapes. Many rare recordings are in the Geronimo vaults and we will seek permission from the artists concerned to release as much of the archive as possible. This should result in a minimum 6CD box set.

Glastonbury Fayre 1971

House of Mercy with Barry Marshall Everitt

Moonshine from Monaco
a poem by Alex Barzdo

We were stardust, children
Moving Earth to Eden.
Disabused of stale mildew,
Smoking words where no guns grew,
Stroking music from disdain, hope from early dew.

 
We were golden in the silver;
Clutching a new voice in the darking river;
Nudging a dial to borrowed sleeves
Overswept with crested leaves;
Listening, glistening in ears that longed in sheaves.
 
Here the Garden’s sweetest flower
In tombs of rooms that once were sour,
At festivals we camped at Patching,
Respect for artistry newly hatching.
Nights the sun could smile, a sleepy kitten scratching
 
When the sheep lay soft in slumber
Seekers found a newer number,
Freedom in a void will die
Without the warming breath of love
Purer than crisp new snow, awaiting tracks for us to know
