Angel's Egg
Subtitled "Radio Gnome Invisible, Part 1", it 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. According to Daevid Allen, "Steve Hillage arrived eventually, but there wasn't a lot of space left. He played some rhythmick wa wa [sic], some jazzy chords and a spacey solo on 'Flying Teapot'."
