Gong was were never signed to BYG/Charly records and didn’t ever get paid by them. The original tapes aren’t kept by them not would they be allowed access to them. A quote from the current gong band reiterate s this: “We, the current Gong band, wish to make it clear that we do not endorse the new BYG/Charly Records Trilogy release and stand firmly alongside the earlier band members in asking that you, the fans, only purchase releases that have been approved by Gong musicians.”
