Sun Ra "Media Dreams" Saturn 1978-3 Solid VG+ with Unique Original Art Cover

131

Incredible work from one of Sun Ra's most enigmatic periods! The album was recorded in Italy in 1978, right around the same time as "Disco 2000" (and not too far off from Languidity) – and it features Ra playing around with lots of cool spacey keyboards, in a spare cosmic style that's really out of this world! The overall sound is incredible – with an incredible sense of otherness that has Ra pushing the limits of the moog and organ to a level never heard before on record – and in a way, the set is everything you might have imagined when you first heard of Sun Ra as some strange jazz musician who claimed to be from outer space! The group is a quartet, with Michael Ray on trumpet, John Gilmore on tenor, and Luqman Ali on drums – and titles include "Saturn Research", "Media Dreams", "Year Of The Sun", "Constellation", and the haunting straight jazz piece "Twigs At Twilight".

If you are looking at this auction you know that this LP is incredibly rare and that you may never see it in this condition again. The original cover art is unique to this record and as any Sun Ra collector knows may be one of a kind! The record is a solid VG+ and the cover and art is EX.  There is a small fold in the label on one side and a slight tear on the other. Still very clean labels overall. Act now for you may never see this cover/record combo of Media Dreams again.

Reminder: A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.

No reserve. No early end. Free shipping. No hassle 14-day any reason returns (so long as the item is in the exact same condition as when shipped to you). This is simple for me; I sell very few and only high quality records and I make sure that the customer is satisfied so that there is never any need to leave negative feedback! I have been an avid record collector for 20 years and, like you, I have been burned on E-Bay by inaccurately described records!

Buy from me and you will never get burned! I promise that my records are accurately described and conservatively graded according to commonly accepted industry standards such as Goldmine. I ONLY sell records from my personal collection and NOT thrift shop/flea market junk!You will never get a record from me described as NM that is glossy but the grooves are gray and played out (collectors know what I mean)! I grade my records by playing them and under BOTH incandescent and fluorescent lights!

Records are shipped in industry standard containers with new inner and outer protective sleeves (along with the original inner sleeve or trade paper if noted) and always free DOMESTIC shipping by USPS media mail. International buyers must contact me before bidding.
