On the line-up for Gong's http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=4631 - You , we have the following...

- Daevid Allen / vocals, glissando guitar
- Mireille Bauer / percussion
- Tim Blake / Moog & EMS synths, Mellotron
- Steve Hillage / lead guitar
- Mike Howlett / bass guitar
- Didier Malherbe / saxes, flute, vocals
- Benoît Moerlen / percussion
- Pierre Moerlen / drums, percussion
- Gilli Smyth / wee voices, chorus
- Shakti Yoni / poem & space whispers

the album itself lists the last two as

- Shakti Yoni / Poems and Space Whisper
- Bambaloni Yoni / Wee Voices & Chourousings

...now I was under the impression that Shakti Yoni was Gilli Smyth and Bamboloni Yoni was Miquette Giraudy - (could any Gong experts correct me if I've got that wrong)

so shouldn't our version of the line up read as:

- Miquette Giraudy / wee voices, chorus
- Gilli Smyth / poem & space whispers

Yep, Miquette Grady is Bambaloni and Gilli is Shakti.

And there's more. I have a vinyl edition of the record. Daevid Allen is listed here as Dingo Virgin, whereas Didier Malherbe is named Bloomdido Glad de Brass.
