Govinda (The Radha Krsna Temple London) (LP 709 - 710)

The Radha Krsna Temple London  The Radha Krsna Temple (Vinyl, Apple Records, 1971) ****

The Radha Krsna Temple London  Goddess Of Fortune (Vinyl, Spiritual Sky Records, 1971) ****

GenreApple Records 

Places I remember: Noel Forth helped me find the US copy of the Apple Records version after I sent him a NZ Apple version that he'd tracked down. Goddess Of Fortune is exactly the same album but released on Spiritual Sky with a different album name - this one came from Chaldon Records and Books.

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles
: Govinda Jaya Jaya

Gear costume: Hare Krishna mantra

Active compensatory factors: The Beatle connection is obviously why many of us needed to have a copy of this - George produces and it's on Apple Records, but after listening to it, many of us are thankful for the experience.

If your experience of Hari Krishna Mantra is some devotees creating a tambourine and bells driven chant in your down-town area, then you won't be prepared for the professionalism of the Radha Krsna Temple London members as produced by Hari Georgeson.

The trance like chants are excellent throughout the album and there is real variety. I love it! 

Where do they all belong? It's a real 4 star treat in the Apple Records collection.
