Charly Records, also known as Charly, is a British label specializing in reissuing old music from iconic catalogs such as Sun Record Company and Chess. Founded by Jean-Luc Young in France in 1974 and later moved to England in 1975, Charly Records has become a renowned name in the industry.

Throughout its history, Charly Records established various associated companies for licensing and rights, including Charly Records International APS based in Denmark and Charly Holdings Inc. registered in the USA. In the 1990s, they collaborated with Movieplay Portuguesa for CD releases, resulting in the presence of SPA rights society on those releases.

Despite being dissolved in 2001, Charly Records underwent new management and became part of the Snapper Music group. Today, it continues to distribute its reissued music through their extensive network.

Gong is a pioneering psychedelic rock band that was formed in France in 1969. Led by [a10354] and [a258438], Gong created a unique blend of psychedelia, space-rock, and trip-rock with a conceptual ethos centered around aliens and alternative realities. Throughout their career, the band has undergone numerous lineup changes and reformations, collaborating with other bands from the Canterbury scene. Despite these changes, Gong's music has always remained innovative and captivating.

Over the years, Gong has explored various musical styles and genres. After the departure of Daevid as leader, [a4452] took over for a short period before the band transformed into a more jazz-rock styled group known as [a323088]. Additionally, there have been many offshoots of Gong such as Paragong, Planet Gong (2), Pierre Moerlen's Gong, Mother Gong, New York Gong, Gongmaison, Gongzilla, Gong Matrices, Gong Global Family, Acid Mothers Gong, and Gong Expresso.

Despite their ever-evolving lineup and sound variations since 1990,Gong continues to create music that pushes boundaries and captivates audiences worldwide. With their rich discography spanning several decades,Gong remains an influential force in the world of psychedelic rock.

Magick Brother introduced Gong as one of the great oddities of the psychedelic and space rock age. The nucleus of Allen, Smyth and Malherbe was able to create a musical vocabulary very much of its own all the while searching for essential metaphysical truths."The band made strong political statements that comes through loud and clear on this re-mastered version of Gong's debut album..."
