Some words on this issue: GONG: “Flying Teapot” Clean copy of this early Gong Album. Flying Teapot is Gong's first major foray into their Radio Gnome Invisible universe. This is the rarely seen 1st UK pressing, in beautiful shape. Just intoxicatingly and mind bending, skull scrapingly great.

New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
