Lost Arkestra Vol 1 (10 inch LP)

LP (Item 544914) Kindred Spirits/Art Yard (Netherlands), Early 70s — Condition: New Copy

Tremendous lost work from Sun Ra – three previously-unreleased tracks from the archives – all of them great! Side one features this wonderful spiritual number, "Along Came Ra" – performed live with some great lead vocals from June Tyson to start things out – then given a cool recitation by Ra in the middle, over ensemble vocals and loads of great percussion! Next is "The Sky Is A Sea Of Darkness" – a spare keyboard tune that mixes up a "Space Is The Place" organ riff with some great vocals (from Ra?) – beautifully, soulfully sung with a poetic feel that's wonderful! Last up is one of the most soulful versions of "We Travel The Spaceways" we've ever heard – slow, with piano in the background underneath the vocals – which themselves are deeply personal, and some of the most moving we've ever heard on a Ra tune. All three tracks are on the inside, spiritual side of the Arkestra spectrum – and all mighty nice!  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
