GONG
Radio Gnome Invisible Part 1 FLYING TEA POTGatefold / 1984 Virgin OVED 14 UK Issue
Flying Teapot is the third studio album by Gong. It was recorded at Virgin's Manor Studios, in Oxfordshire, England, produced by Giorgio Gomelsky and engineered by "Simon Sandwitch 2nd aided by Tom Zen" (Simon Heyworth and Tom Newman). It was supposed to be released on BYG Records with whom the band was under contract, but the label went bankrupted during the recording sessions so it was finally issued by Virgin Records in May 1973 with a credit on sleeve saying "A BYG Virgin production".
Subtitled Radio Gnome Invisible, Part 1, Flying Teapot is the first of the Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy of albums, followed by Angel's Egg in December and You the following October. This trilogy forms a central part of the Gong mythology. The Flying Teapot idea itself was influenced by Russell's teapot. It was the first Gong album to feature English guitarist Steve Hillage, although he contributed relatively little as he arrived late in the recording process. Daevid Allen stated, "Steve Hillage arrived eventually, but there wasn't a lot of space left. He played some rhythmick wa wa, some jazzy chords and a spacey solo on 'Flying Teapot'.
The vinyl is VG to VG+ There are some marks/scratches but it's not trashed. The Labels are Near Mint.
The jacket has edge wear but also not trashed. From a smoke-free home.
