Deluxe limited edition 2CD, superbly remastered from the original Virgin analogue master tapes by the original engineer Simon Heyworth. Disc 2 is live 1973 Gong mixed by Venux Deluxe. The first release on CD of the original Virgin Records 1973 vinyl LP mixes, and the first time since the Virgin vinyl issues that the musicians can expect to receive royalties on their music.

No release of Flying Teapot has come remotely close to sounding as good as this since the original Virgin vinyl pressings. The musicians were delightedly shocked at Simon's re-mastering. Includes previously un-released bonus tracks from the Universal/Virgin tape archives. The second disc is mastered from Gong soundman/Switch Doctor, Venux Deluxe's original, stereo desk recording. You will never have heard this concert like this before. One time pressing in this format.

4-fold, 2 jewel tray packaging. Includes a 24 page richly illustrated booklet. Other deluxe editions available : Angels Egg | You | Shamal
