Sun Ra - Singles - The Definitive 45s Collection - Vol. I: 1952-1961 '2016

Tracks list

The immense output of Sun Ra and his many backing bands, coupled with the
limited production of many of his releases has long defied dedicated collectors.
Parallel to a vast list of LP releases, Sun Ra released numerous 45 RPM singles;
one-off meteorites from his prolific cosmic journey. Working closely with Sun Ra
LLC and Art Yard Records, it is with great pride that Strut presents a
definitive collection of the rare singles released by Sun Ra across his
illustrious career, spanning 1952 to 1991. Released prolifically during the
1950s and more sporadically thereafter, primarily on the Saturn label, the 45s
trace the development of Sun Ra’s forward-thinking
“Space-Bop” and his unique take on jazz and blues traditions which
remains unlike anything else from the period. As with his LPs, most 45s were
only pressed in small runs and have since become extremely rare and sought
after. Some have only been discovered in physical form in recent years; some
were planned and penciled but allegedly never made it to vinyl and some appeared
as one-off magazine singles and posthumous releases.
