The Evidence record label is well-known among Sun Ra enthousiasts. The label has re-issued a number of classic Sun Ra albums that were originally released on Sun Ra's private Saturn label.
Each of these re-issues looks and sounds great.

Around 2000, Evidence released "The Great Lost Sun Ra Albums", a 2CD set that captures "Cymbals" and "Crystal Spears", two albums that were set to be released on the Impulse label somewhere in the mid-seventies. Somehow, these recordings never made it. The story is told in detail in the album's liner notes.

"The Great Lost Sun Ra Albums" includes recordings that were made in New York City in 1973.
Maybe not the most essential Sun Ra release, but definitely worth checking out if you're in to improvised jazz.
Data & album cover have been added to the United Mutations Archives.
