I heard that! I looked for several years for a copy before I found one, but it
was unquestionably worth the wait. (for me anyway) The first disc is all music,
featuring the gizmo on side one. As a matter of fact, the first side is almost
entirely gizmo, with only a few vocal, percussion, and piano parts thrown in.
The second side is also mostly gizmo, but seems to aim more at using it as part
of an ensemble. The remaining two discs contain an audio play by Peter Cook,
into which are woven additional songs. The play is hysterical on the surface,
and even more so when you start listening to some of the things going on in the
background. Absolute loonacy. The music is great as well.

Great album too!

I wasn't so impressed with BIRDS OF PREY, though I thought that "My Body The
Car" was inspired. Overall, I thought the album was ok, but not too exciting.

I happened to like SNACK ATTACK/ISMISM, though I can see why it might not work
for everybody, even G&C fans. The new album (HISTORY MIXES VOL. I) is
interesting, but certianly not essential. It consists of side long "beat box"
style remix/medleys of older G&D and 10cc tracks.
