Description
USA 2-LP vinyl record by Sun Ra & His Interplanetary Vocal Arkestra titled "The Space Age Is Here To Stay".
Compilation released in 2017, gatefold cover. Includes 2 previously unissued tracks (*), 4 originally unissued tracks (**) and 4 songs in mono (***).
This is the black vinyl pressing, but due to a mistake at the pressing plant, the info sticker that was on the shrink wrap has the barcode for the color vinyl pressing (090771801111) on top of the black vinyl pressing info sticker.
Across the history of jazz, there is no wilder, more future-forward composer and performer than Herman Poole Blount, aka Sun Ra. Known as much for his wild on-stage persona as his innovative compositions, Sun Ra was the avant-garde bleeding edge of the jazz genre, introducing modal composition and electronic instrumentation before almost anyone else - not to mention bringing the space age to life with his obsession with all things extraterrestrial. Across more than 100 LPs released in his lifetime, Sun Ra charted a course to space and far, far beyond. Known primarily for his keyboard improv and freeform band arrangements, Sun Ra could also write great vocal songs when he set his mind to it. This is the very first collection of Sun Ra’s vocal tracks.
New mint unplayed vinyl. The cover has tiny corner dings upper right and lower right. Apologies for the glare on the pictures.
