   You need to do something about the "Live Floating Anarchy" posting under the Gong Live albums section. There are a number of factual problems with it.

1. Live Floating Anarchy isn't a Gong album, it's a "Planet Gong" album, which was the Here and Now Band  with Daevid Allen and Gilli Smythe as guests. Daevid did the very Gong-ish cover art and featured the word "GONG" in big capital letters, but it's still not a Gong album.

2. The first review not only gets this wrong, but also talks about Steve Hillage's guitar work. Steve Hillage does not appear on this album. Here and Now Band's guitarist Steffi Sharpstrings (OK, I can see why the reviewer though that was another one of Hillage's pseudonyms, as I also did for many years) does sound a lot like him, though.

Well, instead of going on, let me refer you to my write-up of the Here and Now Band at the GEPR:

Feel free to copy any or all of it, as long as you attribute it to me personally or to the GEPR.

	Thanks Fred, I imagine someone from E&O or the Canterbury team will look into that and make any necessary changes. Nice to see you, hows things in Texas? - David M.

	Sean Trane did a review for the wrong album: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=7768 It's supposed to be a review for H To He..., but he reviewed it in the review page of the album The Least We Can Do.... This proves that even collaborators can be wrong.
