Repress! Sun Ra started his own label El Saturn (or Saturn) in 1957 in order to release his own recordings, as well as those featuring his Arkestra backing local R&B and doo-wop groups. Though the genres showcased on this release are more pop than the world has come to expect from Sun Ra, the vibe and feel is purely cosmic, producing some of the wildest, strangest R&B ever created on this side of the sun. This DOUBLE-LP compiles Saturn singles and rare early Sun Ra recordings in different forms/group settings including the Cosmic Rays, the Qualities, Sun Ra and his Myth-Science Arkestra, and more from 1955-1962. A must have for all true Sun Ra collectors, this is a comprehensive retrospective on the early days of this legendary music guru packed into a monstrous double LP.
