SUN RA ON LEO RECORDS

It's hard to get a grip on the Sun Ra discography.
The following list presents the albums that got released on Golden Years Of New Jazz / Leo Records.
I don't have a year of release for most of them, and they're not mentioned in the superb reference guide by Moudry either... (or maybe I just didn't look good enough)
  • the sun ra arkestra: meets salah ragab in Egypt
    (1999, uk, cd, golden years of new jazz gy001)
  • the sun ra arkestra: live at praxis '84
    (????, uk, 2cd, golden years of new jazz gy 005/006)

    (????, uk, cd, leo records lr 230)
  • sun ra & his intergalactic arkestra: stardust from tomorrow
