Sun Ra

The Heliocentric Worlds Of Sun Ra - Vol. 1

Format: LP

Record Label: ESP-DISK' (1014)

Condition: Used (VG/VG) (the sleeve has an inch or so seam split in the top right hand corner, two sticker stains on the back in the right hand corner, not over any text, and general wear around the edges, but is in pretty good shape overall considering it's age - the vinyl has some wear for sure, but played through fine on my turntable with no skips, but some crackling and noise here and there - sounds good overall though, again considering it's age)

* I bought this copy from a collector and it's the original pressing to the best of my knowledge with a thick cardboard sleeve, no UPC code of course, and is ESP-DISK' 1014, dated 1965 on the back of the sleeve, but states 1966 on the labels on the record itself. It also includes a poster, folded over once, of the famous painting "The Garden Of Earthly Delights", that doesn't mention Sun Ra, but was issued by the record label, ESP-DISK', as denoted at the bottom of the poster.
* The astonishing sessions that went light years beyond "free jazz" improvisation to create a music of deeply felt, explosive and gentle gesture made from sound itself without reference to previous notions of melody or harmony. The sleeve features Sun Ra's original, self-created cover art. Recorded by Richard Alderson on April 20, 1965, this set of tunes finds Sun Ra breaking ground by using synthesizers and having the Arkestra musicians double on percussion.
