Description
SUN RA AND HIS ARKESTRA, "SPACE PROBE", EL SATURN #14200. COOL COVER. This is real Sun Ra, with a serious Moog stretched out solo. Handcut cover color art.
PURCHASED BY ME IN '76 AT A CONCERT, AND IN MY POSSESSION SINCE. PLAYED NO MORE THAN FIVE TIMES ON GOOD EQUIPMENT. (NOT A DEALER, JUST A MUSICIAN THAT LOVES RA).
ALBUM COVER: NICE, NEAR MINT COVER CONDITION. CHECK OUT PIXS: NO RING WEAR, TITLE SHEET INTACT (THOUGH TAPE ON COVER IS BRITTLE/BARELY ON). TRACK LISTING SAYS MOOG SOLO IS "CHICAGO, 1960's" BUT DISCOGRAPHY DISAGREES -- I'LL GO WITH SUN RA. IF SO, THAT'S VERY OUTSIDE FOR THE '60's.
VINYL IS EX+/NM-. PLAYS GREAT (CLEANED ON MY NITTY GRITTY). SEE LABEL FOR TRACKS, PLUS, LABELS ARE NICE. SUN RA DISCOGRAPHY SAYS THIS (APPEARS ACCURATE HERE):
Sun Ra and his Arkestra
Space Probe
