Sun Ra

Sun Ra has probably the largest and most widely issued catalog in the history of recorded music, and the task of tracking when any bit of music was recorded or (often decades later) released has actually been the sole topic of multiple book-length features by an assortment of daring musicologists. His own record label, Saturn, often issued records with blank or hand drawn covers in extremely limited pressings that would simply disappear into the sands of time. As such the following titles are presented alphabetically and rarely captioned by more than a title. Good luck.

Angels and Demons at Play

(Original design, reconstructed from parts of several extremely low res images, approximating the original design as nearly as possible.)

Aurora Borealis
