- sun ra and his band from outer space: space aura
(2013, 10", uk, art yard 10/001)
Here's some additional info from Paul Griffiths from the Saturn newsgroup:
The
songs on this 10" are previously unreleased. They were recorded at
University of Buffalo NYC during the ESP college tour of 1966 that
produced 'Nothing Is' and
some of the songs on the 'Outer Spaceways Incorporated' Saturn lp. They
share the same detailed and beautiful recorded sound and show the
Arkestra in their full mid 60's prime.
The
recordings were mastered from a tape reel, originally in the possession
of James Bryant, that showed up on ebay. There is approximately 20
minutes of music on the 10" (everything that was on the reel) and is
clearly the first portion of the show. The whereabouts of the remaining
tapes from this concert are unknown.
Bernard
Stollman of ESP records engaged sound recordist David B Jones to record
all of the concerts from this tour and
apparently discarded the recordings that were not used for Nothing Is.
The remainder of the tapes must surely be out there somewhere?
Paul.
