Flying Teapot: Radio Gnome Invisible, Part 1

Flying Teapot is an album by Gong, originally released by Virgin in 1973. A later edition (with different cover art) was issued by BYG in France and Japan in 1976. Co-titled "Radio Gnome Invisible Part 1", it is the first of the Radio Gnome Trilogy of albums, and was followed by Angel's Egg and You. The Trilogy forms a central part of the Gong mythology. Recorded at The Manor, Oxfordshire, it was produced by Giorgio Gomelsky and engineered by "Simon Sandwitch 2 aided by Tom Zen" (presumably Simon Heyworth and Tom Newman). The Flying Teapot Trilogy (Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg and You) was influenced by Russell's teapot an idea that is referred to by Allen in his books 'Gong Dreaming'.
