 Web Site: None Origin: United States Date: 21 Oct 2009 Comments: I recently bought the Inter Galactic Touring Band CD on Voiceprint Records, VP251CD, from amazon.com and I am very well pleased with it. The audio transfer to CD is better than I thought and the graphics are very good. The printed lyrics are new, not just a copy from the original booklet. The only thing missing is the Vibra Catalogue which was on the original LP dust sleeve on Passport Records in the USA. These images are on this website. This CD brings back some great memories, and so does this website! Thank you very much! Web Site: None Origin: Undisclosed Date: 16 Apr 2009 Comments: Just wanted to let you know that that's (still) a very cool web site and to thank you for helping us remember IGTB. Good luck! Web Site: None Origin: Undisclosed Date: 13 Apr 2009 Comments: Hi - just discoverd this web page. I used to be (still am) a massive fan of Annie Haslam. Thats how I got into the IGTB. Still have on vinyl. Your site brought back memories. I think I might go out and try get the CD. Bore my kids with it. They wont understand!!! Anyway - well done on the web site and keep going. Web Site: None Origin: Undisclosed Date: 29 Sep 2008 Comments: Just to let you know that I also own a vinyl recording of IGTB and have enjoyed it for years. I have preserved my copy and converted the songs to MP3. With the new technology out there today I can now take all my favorite songs and put them on my cell phone. You have done wonders with your site and I plan on thoroghly checking it out further. Web Site: None Origin: Undisclosed Date: 13 Jan 2008 Comments: I Hope that this reaches you ok, and its a quick, (and big) thank you for the IGTB site and details of the CD rerelease of the album, after hearing a frends copy back in the 80's its been somethiive been meaning to get , and not found so the news on your site was very pleasing and hopefuly my copy will be arriving soon. Web Site: None Origin: Undisclosed Date: 28 Jun 2007 Comments: Great Web site, wish I had thought of it years ago. Been a fan of IGTB since the album came out. I have 2 albums in great condition and transferred one to a CD so I can hear it when ever I want. Again thanks for the web site. Web Site: None Origin: New York, USA, EARTH Date: 2 May 2007 Comments: I was in Orlando recently in an old vinyl store and it occurred to me to see if my old IGTB was available. Unfortunately they did not have a copy, but they told me it was available on CD now, will wonders never cease! I ordered the CD today, but it will never replace the endless hours of looking through an album, along with the cover notes and booklet that frequently would come with an LP. I hope the booklet will be with the CD, and I pray that my recollection of my teenage music years and this album are not disappointed. I remember I loved this album, as well as the entire concept, and it is through searching today to find the CD that I discovered your website. I hope you will continue it so fans of this album and similar music can communicate.
I know just how you feel. The CD's originally came with the booklet, I believe they still do, so you will
be able to relive the "glory-days" to some extent. The booklet is a fairly good reproduction of
what the original (LP-sized) booklet was, considering some changes were necessary to fit the smaller size
of a CD, all-in-all I think you will be pleased. The only thing you will not get is the record-sleeve with
the Vibra-Corp catalog items and the order form... my site is the only place I know of where those are
still available! If you really want one of the original vinyl LPs, one pops up every now and then on
ebay, but they rarely include the booklet, and never the sleeve! I got my original LP enshrined, as
you might imagine, and use the CD for my "dose". Play it often, play it LOUD!
Web Site: None Origin: AUSTRALIA, EARTH Date: 18 Apr 2007 Comments: I was just browsing the web and came across your "Intergalactic Touring Band" web site. I am not sure if the web-site is out of date - most people who signed the guest book up to 2005 were expressing a desire for the album to be released on CD. Just on the unlikely chance that you were not aware of this - the CD has been released and I picked up my copy yesterday. Not sure how long it has been available. Web Site: None Origin: Maryland, USA, EARTH Date: 11 Mar 2007 Comments: First I wanted to thank you for the great, great IGTB website. I came across the LP in a used record shop many years ago and it has been among my most favorite recordings. Inspired by the nostalgia of your site I went looking for the CD and ended up downloading the album from eMusic.com. Imagine! IGTB on my PDA! I'm sure that your site was a major factor in the record companies decisions to re-issue the album, so thank you for that too. Web Site: Tony Perez Origin: MEXICO, EARTH Date: 5 Sep 2006 Comments: Man...I'm 45 years and I loved IGTB...where can I download or buy a CD from them ? I've been 6 years looking for them... Many thanks you have this site. Regards, Nacho from Mexico Web Site: LEGENDnyc: In Our Own Time Origin: Undisclosed Date: 7 Jul 2006 Comments: Very nice web site. I finally tracked down my IGTB CD from Artist-Shop.com What can I say? IGTB is a classic from beginning to end. "Starship Jingle" is one of Pepe Marchello's best tracks. I remember seeing the Good Rats perform in Port Chester, New York and Pepe simply smiled at the crowd's requests for "Starship Jingle". Did you know that the Good Rats have a song "Victory in Space" on their "Rats to Riches" album. Annie Haslam's "Reaching Out" is also a very fine track. Do you know if any of the IGTB songs were performed live? Mr. Nice Guy: Larry Fast.

Date: 18 May 2006 Comments: Thank you. So, where to begin?
But.. alas... it is all in my head. And yours sounds like that it is very much built the same way. Thank you for your tribute. Music like this, makes simple science fiction come alive. Be well.
Thank you for your visit! I agree we have much in common, at least on the daydream side—on some things
we differ, though, the fancy 1000-drimes models ferinstance...Please, SCARE ME! —GRIN—
That frat-party you heard about was probably the one at my place. And no matter what you heard, THERE
WERE SURVISOR! We did have to burn a few ships, though, but hey, it was that or the Commandoes confiscated
the rest of the...er...inventory...anyway...it was all back in the 80's and no one can prove a thing.
...ahhhh! (Ain't it great!) Thank you again for your visit, and a letter that lifted my spirits on a
very nasty day, (power cells ran out on my Venus-1000, y'know?) Here's hoping that this will do the
same for you... Play it often, play it LOUD! BURN THE SHIPS!
Web Site: None Origin: Undisclosed Date: 1 July 2005 Comments: Fantastic site, I was in the loft earlier today, and came across a 45 with Love station on it. I wondered if there was any info on the 'net. I did have the album, but had to sell my record collection way back to finance an engagement ring, aah the cost of true love. Good luck with the pressure to get the album re-released, I would definitely buy it. Web Site: None Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 5 May 2005 Comments: Hi! I really love your website! IGTB rules! I have the record album and it is still in very good condition. (Mostly because I don't have a turntable). Many moons ago I was able to record it to a cassette tape. That is dying rapidly. I hope to get the CD soon and I am also looking to get permission to re-record the entire album. I wonder if I could get Meatloaf to re-record KEEPER... Building a Starship... Brynn Colwynn Web Site: Akashaman's Kosmos Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 17 March 2005 Comments: hey : cool site ! just found this on vinyl , mint w/ book here in dallas. never really heard of it , but looked interesting enuff. after a few listens i am hooked. great stuff ! just wnted to let ya know its still out there ! tom / dallas Web Site: None Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 22 Sep 2002 Comments: A word to the powers that be: release the IGTB recording on CD! Many people are impressed by the collection of talent involved with the "band". It's about time that the people of Earth get a chance to hear again this interesting project from some of the leading progressive rock artists of the 70s. Kudos to the Kongaloid master for this ingenuous website. Web Site: None Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 20 Sep 2002 Comments: I like this website and I also liked the album so much that I have one copy that I have not opened yet. Arthur Brown, Pepi Marchello, and Annie Haslam are some of my favorite singers. Web Site: None Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 14 Sep 2002 Comments: I too wish this would be available on CD. The copy I bought back in 1977 is well-listened to. It's nice to see a web page devoted to this. Web Site: None Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 25 Apr 2002 Comments: I have always loved this album. Dave Cousins and Arthur Brown on the same record! When will the CD be available? Web Site: StrawbsWeb Origin: United Kingdom, EARTH Date: 24 Apr 2002 Comments: I was advised of your site by a friend who is on the Strawbs Discussion Group at YahooGroups, Witchwood. The Dave Cousins track, "Heartbreaker", on the IGTB album is of great interest to Strawbs fans. Really nice site, nice touches (though I think they'll have grown out of animated gifs by 3077 -grin-. I'll publicise it to my e-mail list and include a link. Web Site: KI0DZ-The Solar Station Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 22 Jul 2001 Comments: Thanks for a great page. Back when I was in high school in the late '70's I reviewed this album for my regular column, "Science Fiction Expressions in Music," for the school's fanzine, "Dimensions." I enjoyed the album then and still do. Sure wish there was more sci-fi music out there! Web Site: None Origin: United Kingdom, EARTH Date: 21 Jul 2001 Comments: Well done Steve, I bought this album when it was first released (yes I'm that old!) and I still have the cassette. If it were released on CD I'd buy it. The short peice "Approach" has stuck in my mind ever since the first listen. I've seen some unfavourable reviews but then I don't suppose it is to everyone's taste. I used to search out what I know as fringe music but that term has changed its meaning now. Anyway let's hope for a re-release. Web Site: Dutch Progressive Rock Page Origin: Netherlands, EARTH Date: 02 May 2001 Comments: Great site! And I agree there should be a CD re-issue as well! Some links are not working, but I guess those will be solved soon. Great work! - Jerry I'd fix them if I could find them... Web Site: Jürgen's World of Science Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 19 Mar 2001 Comments: Hi there: Wonderful website about the IGTB. Any chance that you could provide mp3 files from these songs? I've owned the album of the IGTB but unfortunately lost it on its way from Germany to the States before I could digitize it with my CD Creator. Thanks much! JML
Sorry, man! Even in MP3 format, the IGTB is protected by International Copyright Laws. No one can provide
copyrighted material in any way unless they have written authorization from the owners of the copyrights.
However, a number of LP auction sites have the IGTB lp available for sale (in various states of preservation)
you might try to find a copy through them. Good luck, man!
Web Site: None. Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 06 Feb 2001 Comments: I have the original release of the IGTB album on the Passport label. It is in mint condition and I also consider it to be a prized holding. It would be nice to see this released in CD format. For now I may just download it to a CD-R. The artwork scans are a challenge since they are virtually unavailable (I don't have access to a good scanner). Please let me know if you have any success in reaching the producers as Passport has been out of business for quite some time now. Good luck. Web Site: None. Origin: Netherlands, EARTH Date: 29 Jan 2001 Comments: Almost two years ago, I stumbled across a copy of IGTB in my ever enduring search for more Meat Loaf material. It's a real gem! Overall, I like the album, but it's really different from the rest of my record collection (and that's a good thing...) I like the way you try to get a re-issue out... and here's some support! Keep up the good work. Web Site: None. Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 14 Jan 2001 Comments: Love your IGTB website. I have visited it many times since you first put it up hoping to read about a re-issue on CD but had never signed the guestbook. Well the IGTB tracks have finally shown up on Napster! I had made a CD-R from my much played LP (complete with tics & pops) so it is nice to hear it clean again. I would still love to buy a digital transfered CD. This is one of my 2 favorite Sci-Fi themed LPs. (the other is Klaatu's "Hope") Web Site: None. Origin: México, EARTH Date: 11 Jan 2001 Comments: "Burn the ships!". Felicito ampliamente a los realizalizadores de este sitio, encontrado fortuitamente tras una difícil búsqueda. Confieso que ignoraba el nombre de las canciones, más aun el nombre del grupo. En los 80's, un gran amigo tenía un programa de radio que iniciaba con "Silver Lady" y termiaba con "First Landing". Después de dos décadas, muchas cosas han pasado, ahora se mucho más de lo que nunca imaginé, thank you. P.D. Sería magnifico que reeditaran este album en CD. Web Site: None. Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 08 Jan 2001 Comments: I've transferred the vinyl album to CD format, and am in the process of lifting the songs into mp3. As soon as I'm done, I'd be happy to send them to you for addition to this web page.
Hey! Thanks, man! I'm currently checking on the posibility of posting MP3s without violating copyrights. If it's a go,
I'd be happy to post yours on the site. So hang on to them for now, I should know soon if this can be done and you'll
hear from me then.
 The Etaris IGTB CD Origin: Netherlands, EARTH Date: 23 Dec 2000 Comments: Glad to know that other true IGTB fans are trying to re-issue this fantastic album. I've got a good copy, but I've played it many, many times. To be on the safe side I made a CDR, but I do hope there will be digital version somewhere, sometime, somehow. All the best -- Ernst Taris, Holland Web Site: Spieker Family Web Site Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 05 Dec 2000 Comments: Sure wish the album was available on CD. I still have the original album, but no means to listen to it. Too Bad :( If anyone knows of where it can be obtained on CD, I would appreciate it. Jon Web Site: None. Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 20 Oct 2000 Comments: EXCELLENT site. I have talked to Larry Fast about getting IGTB re-released on CD. Not too much progress there. I DID manage to get a SEALED copy of the LP and I transferred that recording to CD myself, but old vinyl is old vinyl. It ain't perfect. I DO have one rare item - The Vibra Corporation Christmas LP. It's not "spacey" or Sci-Fi, but it DOES have the same production values as the IGTB LP. It's got the kids from First Landing (Home, Home, Journey's End) singing "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day". Also, Pepe' Marcello, who sang Starship Jingle is an acquaintance of mine. Best of luck with this site. I CONTINUE to be impressed by the IGTB and now have my daughter singing along! Fred Web Site: None. Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 7 Sep 2000 Comments: Just a quick note to say thanks for the update regarding IGTB. I listened to the album for countless hours during my college years and have recently been searching for it online. This is how I discovered your site. Thanks for all the info and for bringing back some great memories of the music and the times we had listening. Any possibility of creating your own MP3 file and allowing others to copy? Just a thought. Thanks again. Take care, Bill Fisher  The Bakeman Jacket (By Barbara - Circa 1985) Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 20 Jul 2000 Comments: Awesome pages, one of my favorite albums! Bakeman's Favorite Albums ( I own 2 copies ) My wife had a jacket made for me about 15 years ago with the VIBRA logo embroidered on it, in beautiful shades of Blue and Grey. I will try to send you a Digital photo! You are truly one of the few that will appreciate it! I wore it a lot back then and I only once had someone recognize it for what it was. I was at a listening party for the new Alan Parsons Lp in Los Angeles during the mid 80's and someone there flipped when they saw my jacket. So I know there is at least one more fanatic out there! I am curious about how you filled in the blanks on the documents...
Back in the ultra-early 80's, I became very curious about what was missing in the documents. I read them all over and over again and began to
notice a certain pattern. It then became relatively easy to extrapolate most of the missing text, although the ones that deviate too much from
the pattern were beyond hope, (like the Justice Conrad case). P.S. I would love to see that jacket!
Web Site: No tengo! Origin: México, EARTH Date: 29 Mar 2000 Comments: Acabo de leer the Newsletter de IGTB y si bien ya tenía conocimiento de casi toda la información, me alegra saber que si logramos reunir una cierta cantidad de peticiones quizás los productores se animen a reimprimir el álbum de IGTB. Me daría un placer enorme saber que pronto se reunirán las cartas suficientes como para hacer esta solicitud. Valga mi nota para contribuir con un granito de arena en esta labor. Felicidades al webmaster, ojalá y pronto encuentre más archivos mp3 de las demás canciones, es un gusto escuchar las versiones fieles... Con besos y apapachos para Mafú.

Web Site: The Cybergenie Website Origin: Puerto Rico, EARTH Date: 2 Feb 2000 Comments: Yo IMA! Love the site! Brings back warm memories of sitting on the floor of your apartment 16 floors up, discussing vibracon technology, nova-hopping and the answer to life, the universe and everything. While surfing the net a while back, I came across a store in Brazil (?!) they had a mint condition IGTB for sale. For the life of me I can't remember the address. Hopefully we can get the powers that be to re-issue this great album. I the meantime, if at all possible, send me a cassette recording to tide me over until the IGTB returns to Earth for that all-so-grand and long-awaited concert. 'Til we can be together again and chow down on some of your hoksu-fusso.
Oh, man! Sorry Bob, no can do. I am honor-bound to respect the royalties of the artists involved in the IGTB project,
so I'm afraid you'll have to relly on your memories of the concert to enjoy them, unless of course you do find that site in Brazil. How about
this idea, take a vacation in Mexico and I'll play you my IGTB albums while we sit on the floor and discuss the Ultimate Question to the Ultimate
Answer over some hot plates of mexican Hoksu-Fusso. Does that grab you by the boo-boo? Mi casa es su casa, hermano!
Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 25 Jan 2000 Comments: Mafu, I loved your IGTB page! It's a wonderful tribute to a sadly forgotten project. I found IGTB when I was in college.... The talent that came together for this album is incredible... The writers, producers, musicians and singers all in one place was wonderful. But there was one thing missing from your page..... and announcement of a re-release of the original album on CD or (better yet!) a new release. For either one, I would be at the front of the line, waiting for them to open up the shipping cartons! Thanks for the fond memories...and the hope that I'll be able to listen to IGTB in nice, clean digital rather than my old vinyl.... Hmmm.... where IS that old turntable? Origin: USA, EARTH Date: 17 Oct 1999 Comments: It has been years since I first heard the IGTB. I was listening to Meatloaf today and was reminded of "Keeper Keep Us". I've talked to people about this and very few have clue as to what I'm talking about. I lost my album years ago and regret it terribly! I too wish they would bring it back. I tried to find it it record catalogs. I was not aware until your web site that it was a one time release. Thanks for the memories. It was fun!
