Gong-Angels Egg

This is the second part of the Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy from December of 1973. I bought this used copy at a store on the Main Line when I was living in Upper Darby. Its an original pressing with the black and white Virgin label and includes the booklet that was issued with the first releases. The booklet has the storyline,lyrics,and a glossary of terms and characters from the story. It also has a list of band members using pseudonyms like Hi T Moonweed and Dingo Virgin. Much more lyrical than the first part of the trilogy ,there are instrumental passages featuring flute and sax. The most accessible song is “Love Is How U Make It” with harmony vocals and a marimba backing. “Prostitute Poem” with Gillis Smyth’s( called Shakti Yoni on the credits) “space whispers” is in French and English. This record is my favorite of the three.
