Sun Ra and his Astro Infinity Arkestra - Sound Sun Pleasure!! (1958/48?)

Wait, you may say. I thought you were posting chronologically...so what gives with posting material from 1956?
Well, originally, on the Saturn release, this was simply material from a '58 recording. But with the '92 Evidence release, they decided to couple this with side A of the 'Deep Purple' Saturn LP in '73.
'Deep Purple' includes studio and home recordings from the early 50s--and claims can be made dating the material as far back as 1948. This early Sun Ra is rather historic, and should not be missed. Part of side A will come back when posting one of the two versions of 'The Invisible Shield.'

This CD is extremely important in seeing the beginning of Sun Ra's style. You get glimpses of it in some of the earliest pieces...

I included info for 'Deep Purple' as well.
