MORE NEWS ON THE SUN RA BOX SET

Irwin Chusid adds:

We've been planning this with Strut for almost a year. The bonus material comes partly from Michael Anderson's tape library and partly from Hartmut Geerken.

Yes, this release will eventually be available in all formats. The release news below is for a Record Store Day special edition, which is always vinyl-only (that's what RSD is about—getting people to shop for LPs at indie record stores). RSD releases usually have some bell and/or whistle (colored vinyl, a knick-knack in the sleeve, etc.). There's an exclusive RSD sales period, after which labels can release their titles in all formats with the bell and/or whistle removed.
