Information from a web site selling this release 
(I did not get my recording from them, though):

Gong were formed in France in 1970 by former Soft Machine 
founder Daevid Allen. Consisting of a large floating group 
of musicians, they soon developed their own unique sound, 
a blend of rock, minimalism and Allen's bizarre lyrical imagery. 
They eventually landed a deal with Virgin Records, releasing 
hippy classics such as Camembert Electrique, Flying Teapot and 
Angel's Egg.

By 1975, Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth had left the band and their 
original psychedelic blueprint developed into a jazz rock band. 
This album was recorded at the Hippodrome Paris on 77-May-28, 
during their reunion tour.  

It features the classic Gong line up of Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, 
Didier Malherbe, Steve Hillage and Tim Blake performing favourite 
tracks from their psychedelic past.
