The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp was the first of only two albums from the '60's psychedelic rock group Giles, Giles and Fripp.
The album is divided into two parts, "The Saga of Rodney Toady" and "Just George". The names of the parts came from the titles of spoken word pieces recited by members of the band and spread out, so that they link the musical works on the A and B sides. Though two-thirds of the band would later form King Crimson, the album, arguably, does not represent the traditional progressive rock style. Rather, it is a mix of various styles (folk, classical,pop, psychedelic rock and sacred music.
After the album, which only sold 500 copies, was released, the group recorded what would become The Brondesbury Tapes, which would not be released until 2001. Peter Giles was replaced on bass by Greg Lake soon after and the band renamed themselves King Crimson, making The Cheerful Insanity... the only album released by the band during its existence.
