  • Solid Colored Vinyl

    5 out of 5 stars
    ceqivoDecember 1, 2024United States🇺🇸

    At 12,50 EUR on amzon, there's not much to comment on... I'm usually a bit sceptic about colored vinyls, but this one's a solid pressing; great quality and zero surface noise.

  • Affordable Silent Marvel

    4 out of 5 stars
    Xwjewl5October 18, 2024United States🇺🇸

    This is fantastic. Not a peep, completely quiet. For just $14, it's an amazing deal. I'd love it even more if it came with the original case, though.

  • Sun Ra Revelation

    5 out of 5 stars
    uczdhkbzJune 15, 2024United States🇺🇸

    This album is a real revelation. Just like others have pointed out, it's a perfect starting point for exploring Sun Ra and his Arkestra. Plus, it's an amazing deal since it's essentially three albums rolled into one: tracks A and B make up "Jazz In Silhouette," most of track C is actually another album ("Sound Sun Pleasure"), and the remaining part of C plus track D are bonus tracks. It's fantastic!

  • Cosmic Melodies at Their Best

    5 out of 5 stars
    gamtyipeivpe2May 1, 2024United States🇺🇸

    this is the arkestra at their best... a great starting point for new listeners. stunning cosmic melodies. the record's pressed nice and flat, and i'm really feeling that blue cover

  • Messed Up Tracklist

    5 out of 5 stars
    re29npMarch 15, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Could be a misprint batch, has anyone else encountered this? Highly doubtful it's just a single case. My copy's tracklist is all messed up, and instead of what's displayed on the records and sleeves, it plays like this:SIDE A: Images, Enlightenment, Horoscope, Blues at MidnightSIDE B: Velvet, Saturn, Hours After, Ancient Ethiopia
