Sun Ra And His Arkestra

Space Poetry - Volume One, Two, Three, & Four

Format: 4xLP Lot

Record Label: Norton

Condition: Used (all records & sleeves are in at least near mint condition)

* Four volumes of incantations by Sun Ra and his cohorts, sent to sparse music backdrops, 1957-1982. Unknown, unhinged - let alone unheard recordings from the mystic mind of Sun Ra.
* Strange Worlds In My Mind - Space Poetry Volume One - (released in 2010) - this first volume includes a 1961 performance of Yochanan's "Message To Earthman," the only recordings vocalist Roy Stubbs did with the Arkestra (1962), 1957/58 recordings made in Chicago and a 1966 poetry suite. 
* The Sub-Dwellers - Space Poetry Volume Two - (released in 2010) - features 1982 recordings made for WXPN-FM, a 1966 medley of six poems and a 1968 NYC recording of "If You Are Not A Myth."
* The Outer Darkness - Space Poetry Volume Three - (released in 2010) - our third volume of Sun Ra spoken word opens with a rare space story that I discovered on an unmarked five inch reel of tape. When I played the recording, I discovered an incredible story recited by an unknown artist, with Sun Ra going beyond the call of duty on keyboard. Included are two complete lengthy performances from this 1967 session.... The group recitation, "The Outer Darkness," is a reworking of the poem "I Seek A Better World" originally recited by Ray Stubbs on the first volume.... We close this interplanetary poetry series with an extended piece, "The Cosmic Visitor," incorporating "This Is My Day," "The Scheme Of Words," "Black Holes In Space," and "A Better World," performed live on-air on April 11, 1977 at radio station WXPN-FM... Sun Ra's poetic incantations are accompanied by percussive musical arrangements or by a deliberate organ soundtrack, working with the rhythm of his words.
* My Way Is The Spaceways - Space Poetry Voume Four - (released in 2013) - features more unearthed and previously unreleased material - Track Listing: The Music Is Like A Mirror / My Way Is The Spaceways / The Music Is A Sound Image / Music Is A Vibration
