The Gomelsky Demos:

Recorded in London in April 1967 and produced by the legendary Giorgio Gomelsky (Yardbirds manager and one-time associate of Gong and Magma, also see Julie Driscoll post below), these nine demos feature the original Soft Machine line up of Robert Wyatt (vocals & drums), Kevin Ayers ( bass & vocals), Mike Ratledge (piano & organ) and Daevid Allen (guitar). Although never intended for release, these rough but accomplished performances show the band at their most pop oriented.
There's a great interview with Daevid Allen, describing this early period of the Soft Machine here.

These tracks were not released until 1971, on Rock Generation Volumes 7 & 8 by French label BYG. Subsequently turned up on various vinyl and CD issues as 'Jet Propelled Photographs'
This rip was made from a German self-titled release on Metronome 200.137 [1973]
