It
was recorded using The Manor Mobile studio at Gong's communal home,
Pavillon du Hay, Voisines, France, and mixed at The Manor, Oxfordshire,
England. The album was produced by "Gong under the direction of Giorgio
Gomelsky".
Angel's Egg is the second in Gong's Radio Gnome Invisible
trilogy of albums, following Flying Teapot and preceding You. The
trilogy forms a central part of the Gong mythology. The original album
did not have an apostrophe in the title.
The original vinyl edition
came with a booklet containing an extensive explanation of the
mythology, including lyrics, a glossary of terms, and profiles of
characters in the story and band members. This edition also had a
gatefold cover (omitted in later pressings), a plain inky blue inner
sleeve to match the gate fold and booklet, and had the original black
and white Virgin label which was discontinued after 1973; it was one of
the last albums to use the original label. Some copies had a sticker
over top of the female nude in the moon on the cover.
The CD version
released by Virgin Records, and later reissued on Charly Records
contains an extra track: "Ooby-Scooby Doomsday or The D-day DJs Got the
D.D.T. Blues", that ends with a male voice choir glissando (questionably
regarded by some[by whom?] as a parody on Pink Floyd's "Echoes"),
starting with "Ahhhh" and ending with "Chooo", mimicking a sneeze. The
track was originally released on the Live Etc. album but was excluded
from the CD release (which reissued that double album as one disc), and
included on this album instead.
