It's on Transparency Picked it up on amazon.de for €25 plus s&h, but the U.S. mothersite doesn't have it listed, strange, that is - 'cause they do have quite a number of other Transparency titles Dustygroove or rermegacorp have it in stock, with price tags ranging from $35 to around $42, not bad for 6CDs, either Sonics are quite alright, just about Fondation Maeght Vols 1 & 2 level 6-CD Boxed Set of 2 complete shows recorded live at Slug's Saloon, NYC, in the summer of 1972. Over 6 hours of music!
Even though Sun Ra and the Arkestra played at the legendary NY venue Slug's Saloon nearly every Monday night for five years, there is no documentation of their many shows there ~ until now. This deluxe, hand assembled six-CD set has two complete shows totaling six hours from June and August 1972. This is the group still into their psychedelic excursion back into their jazz roots with a newfound vengeance. A completely raucous blast of Sun Ra energy.
Exquisitely mastered audio, packaged in a custom case with ultra-gorgeous never-seen color photos of Sun Ra, and done specially for this release for the first time the exact complete track listings as provided by Christopher Trent (co-author of 'The Earthly Recordings of Sun Ra').
These CDs are factory replicated with excellent audio quality.
ARTISTS
Sun Ra and his Arkestra: Akh Tal Ebah, Marshall Allen, Danny Davis, John Gilmore, Elmoe Omoe, Danny Ray Thompson, Lex Humphries, Hrry Richards, James Jacson, Stanley Morgan, Alzo Wright, Russell Branch, June Tyson, Clifford Jarvis(and from dustygroove.com:) A massive amount of music from the Sun Ra Arkestra -- recorded at the legendary Slug's nightclub on two different nights in 1972! As with some of the other Transparency box sets on Ra, the presentation here is amazing -- a really full picture of the Arkestra at work, with all tracks recorded during the case of each night -- building things up in an amazing way, shifting through familiar themes and wonderful improvisational moments! The first performance is from June 7, and features Ra, Marshall Allen, Danny Davis, John Gilmore, Danny Ray Thompson, James Jacson, June Tyson, and others -- on titles that include "Scene N Take N", "They'll Come Back", "Discipline #?", "Theme Of The Stargazers", "Enlightenment", "Love In Outer Space", "The Shadow World", and a number of untitled tunes! The second performance is from August 19 -- and features Ra, Kwame Hadi, Akh Tal Ebah, Marshall Allen, John Gilmore, Eloe Omoe, Clifford Jarvis, June Tyson, and the "Space Ethnic Voices". Titles include "At First There Was Nothing", "Strange Worlds", "Percussion Episode", "Calling Planet Earth", "Angels & Demons At Play/Watusi", "Outer Space Is A Pleasant Place", "Discipline #27", "I'll Wait For You", "Space Is The Place", "Discipline 33", "Why Go To The Moon", and "Stardust From Tomorrow". 41 tracks on 6CDs! (Please note: This IS a professionally manufactured box set, not CDRs.)
