THAT WAS DESIGNED FOR DIRECT DISTRIBUTION  AND  QUICK SALES TO FANS AT SUN RA GIGS AND CONCERTS.I KNOW THIS BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE I ACQUIRED IT IN THE EARLY 80'S AT AN ARKESTRA EVENT SOMEWHERE<>THE LABELS WERE JUST ON A PRINTED PAGE IN THE SLEEVE AND I HAD TO GLUE THEM ON MYSELF

                    The Light Thereof

SIDE TWO: Friendly Galaxy #2, To Nature's God, Why Go to th'Moon?

VINYL IS GRADED AS VG-   The vinyl looks quite clean and well preserved.Just a few light scuffs but nothing that affects the play and audio quality ...but the surface wear is such that the snaps and pops are prevalent and very often heard as background. The pressing created numerous dimpled 1mm dia. marks but I don't beleive this affects the tracking or sound at all.You audiophile experts have a name for those marks I'm sure, but I have no idea what they are.

SLEEVE IS GRADED G  The sleeve has a plain dark green textured thin layer of vinyl poorly glued to a thin cardboard sleeve (none of my work there).It must have absorbed some moisture because it's wrinkled. Otherwise, it's intact...just fair to good condition but kind of rough looking.There's no marks or water damage to the Vinyl...just the sleeve, it might have been on the coffee table when water was spilled.No tears,punches or cut-outs.

This is a very weird audio time capsule archival document of the times(Dec. '72) Here's the Setting...RA's Solar-Myth Arkestra travels to get back to their roots and visits Egypt and meets with Egyptian dignitaries and perhaps the Cultural Arts Councilmen to do a Question and Answer and demonstrate their Craft with Space-age instruments and Musicians.He explains to them what progressive and universal music "means" and states that with the Moog keyboard he (Ra) can coax every sound in the universe out of it.It must be some small conference room in an official building because the acoustics are very dry and dead...no reverb, somewhat harsh sounding.Very polite attention and applause.It must have been a strange summit meeting indeed !
