Angel's Egg (album)

Angel's Egg is the fourth studio album by the progressive rock band Gong, released on Virgin Records in December 1973.

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.

A half speed master cut at Abbey Road by Miles Showell using the 2018 96k24bit files was released in the UK on 180 gram vinyl for Record Store Day on 22 April 2023 to mark the album’s 50th anniversary.

This release was in a gatefold sleeve with a replica of the original 16-page Blue Book of lyrics and drawings plus an Abbey Road Certificate.

The instrumental section at the end of "Sold to the Highest Buddha" is referred to as "6/8 sax" in the cover notes, and became a separate piece titled "6/8" on Gong Live Etc.
