Description
One of the rarest Sun Ra albums ever - and one of the most enigmatic! "Strange Strings" is a unique session recorded with an otherworldly sound - heavily steeped in the use of "electronic strings", amplified string instruments recorded with crazy echo and other effects, almost sounding like analogue electronics at times. I do not know when this LP was pressed, but I've had it more than 15 years. It is Thoth 502, credited on the label to the Astro Infinity Arkestra. Copies of the 1960s Saturn LP cover are taped to the front and back of the LP's generic white cover. The record has no scratches, and plays great!
The "Strange Strings" set also uses a variety of unusual percussion instruments, and Ra plays a bit of electronic piano on it. And if that's not enough, the whole album ends with the spooky sound of Thlan Aldridge on "space voice"! Tracks include "Strange Strange," "Worlds Approaching,"and "Strings Strange."
This record will be removed from its outer cover for shipping (unless the buyer requests otherwise), and all will be shipped in an LP mailer, with extra protective cardboard included. This LP will be insured for the selling price. Thank you for looking.
