Sagittarius were a studio group created by producer, Gary Usher (who had earlier produced albums
by The Byrds, Gene Clarke, Chad & Jeremy, The Millennium and The Peanut Butter Conspiracy).
Curt Boettcher helped with the arrangements and Terry Melcher was also involved in the projects.
Both albums were of particular interest for their high degree of orchestration and polish.
In this respect, they were ahead of their times

The second and final album from Sagittarius was the first for the ambitious Together Records in 1969,
but the label folded soon afterward, leaving The Blue Marble virtually unheard for over 30 years.
Like its predecessor Present Tense, The Blue Marble is producer Gary Usher's (the Beach Boys, the Byrds)
take on the decidedly late-'60s sunshine pop genre, and features members of the Millennium,
including the legendary Curt Boettcher. The record opens with an interesting,
intermittently discordant version of the Beach Boys' paean to childhood empowerment,
"In My Room" (which Usher co-wrote with Brian Wilson)....(AllMusic)
