Gong
Flying Teapot
Charly Records, Half Speed Mastered Vinyl LP Album
Gong - Flying Teapot (half-speed master deluxe edition). remastered from the original byg records tapes and cut for the first time ever in glorious half-speed at London's world-famous abbey road studios, this exclusive rsd 2026 edition includes a deluxe gatefold sleeve, archival artwork, and a 16-page booklet exploring the storytelling and mythology of the beloved radio gnome invisible saga. Released under byg records - the original label that recorded the album before licensing it to virgin - this definitive deluxe reissue delivers the best sound quality flying teapot has ever had: a true cosmic upgrade for gong's mind-bending masterpiece. #originally unleashed in 1973, flying teapot kicked off the eccentric radio gnome invisible trilogy, introducing the wild, otherworldly universe of gong. #here reside the pot head pixies, space-faring creatures who ride interstellar teapots and transmit transcendent messages via radio gnome invisible. #at it's core, the album is a surreal fusion of psychedelia, jazz improvisation, and anarchic humour, propelled by daevid allen's visionary madness. #featuring the cult anthems "radio gnome invisible," "flying teapot," and "zero the hero," this edition resurrects gong's signature blend of absurdity and brilliance - now with stunning clarity that reveals every swirl of synth, every playful whisper, every glimmer of cosmic chaos. #half-speed mastered. #fully teapot-powered. #out exclusively for record store day 2026.
