THE "REAL" ORIGINAL "BYG" 1973 FIRST PRESS ..|/\|...............................................|/\|.. Daevid Allen And GonGThe FLYING TEAPOT
..|/\|...............................................|/\|.. FRANCE ~ BYG RECORDS - 529 027
The "REAL" 1973 ORIGINAL !
Daevid Allen, former co-founder of THE SOFT MACHINE broke away, relocating to FRANCE gathering a likewise talented tribe of exquisite
acid-head musicians crafted with progressive underground psych & jazz talents, tripped-out scales meshed in mystical "space rock" flights. The three part "RADIO GNOME INVISIBLE" (trilogy) remains legendary, timelessly entertaining!
One of those albums that would spawn some 'crazy trips' taking the space-rock of Floyd and Hawkwind even deeper into the cosmos...
With the opening chapter of the Radio Gnome Invisible Trilogy, we find that the Flying Teapot is actually a spaceship emiting Radio Gnome waves to expand the minds and awareness of the Planet GonG whose inhabitants are Pot Head Pixies. Quite a programme as you can see.
Gong was always subject to personel changes and comes in Tim Blake and Steve Hillage , both will influence the music to a point that they are much instrumental in the success of their album "YOU."
Psychedelic spacerock at it's finest...
Side 1 has only two tracks and Radio Gnome Invisible takes you back at the Camembert days but with all the subtleties of the musical progress of the group. One of the favorite track is the title track and its 12 min filled with space effects over an infectious rhythm (a bit like Hawkwind at times) . With this track one can listen on how YOU will be such a success. This is easily the highlight of the album.
Side 2 starts with two shorter track , one allowing Tim Blake to expand on his universe of early synth space. But clearly the last two tracks are another high-point of this album: Zero The Hero is another central piece of this trilogy is filled with absolutely terrific ambiances and previews some of the beautiful atmospheres of their forthcoming (part II) LP "Angel's Egg."
The last track Witches Song/I Am Your Pussy is dedicated to Gilli Smyth's charater and is schizophrenic in musical style and provide a great end to this chapter in all its freakiness....Gilli Smyth plays her orgone accumulator, er... orgone box, and of course is billed as the space whisperer. On this she sings the erotically charged 'I Am Your Pussy'. The lyrics are orgasmically nasty, purring in sexy whispers and sounding quite intoxicating; "I am your pussy, You are my tramp... Meow... Meow... Meow... You can be a cat too, Shadow tied to a tree, Sometimes I slide away To be free, Cover you with a warm dark mothering, Fill you with animal love..." "Be careful or I might scratch you"
Gille whispers sardonically, followed by manic witchy echo-laughter.

Witch's Song/I Am Your Pussy CONDITION: The cover: ""EX" (excellent)" and BETTER!
HIGHLY wear-prone & very fragile laminated gatefold cover with superior artwork, was changed later for the British (Virgin Records) release ... to find better = Good luck !!! ... There are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ...
The vinyl: Rated: VG (+) only light visual scuffs , bits of surface here of there, the BYG label was notoriously an underwhelming imprint , even so-called mint editions are far from audiophile though remain in original form entertaining as actual original release's. Both French BYG labels are clean Again, this 1973 pressing featuring the original gatefold artwork is quite seldom seen
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
