Sun Ra and his Arkestra - Sound of Joy (1956/1968)
Well, maybe the confusion has already started with the Ra chronology...but it becomes more complicated with this 1968 release. The information I've found says this was recorded in '56, then it was released c.1968. However, by 1968, a number of these recordings had been released on "Visits Planet Earth"...Now the Visits Planet Earth release has different lengths for the tracks on the discography sites, begging the question--are they the same versions? My own troubles are further complicated as I only have a partial CD of "Visits Planet Earth"...(or so the discographies lead me to believe).
This is the CD version, as the extra tracks mentioned in the notes are included.
And here's the music:
