Recorded live at the Bluebird, Bloomington, Indiana, around 7/18/1977.
[Location and date from Ahmed Abdullah; personnel from Geerken with corrections by Abdullah. Bass player identified by Abdullah. Does anyone know ShoobeedooUs real name? Abdullah says Michael Ray and Emmett McDonald were not present. The loud oom-pah on A Train, previously mistaken for McDonald's bass horn, turns out to be a heavily amplified Jacson!]
Two newspaper accounts (both from 7/22/77) say there were 18 people in the band, and imply the presence of Pat Patrick (as, bs) and Vincent Chancey (Frh), plus a possible third drummer. It's not clear whether they were there the night(s) of the recording. Dancers identified from the newspaper accounts.
Any one even slightly familiar with the Sun Ra Discography knows that pinning down "exacts" about any particular release is a very tough task to say the least. I LET THE PHOTOS DO THE TALKING AND CAN SAY WITH 100% ACCURACY THIS IS HOW THIS LP CAME TO ME OVER 2 DECADES AGO. Plain white, very clean, solid sleeve.
