Sun Ra - Sound Sun Pleasure

And they really are sounds of pleasure. Sun Ra is usually known for his experimenting and improvisation but eh, I seem to like a lot more his uh... structured sound (or at least it sounds like organized and planned music haha!). Tracks 1 to 6 were originally released as "Sun Sound Pleasure" (Saturn 512). Thought to have been recorded between 1958 and 1960 in Chicago.
Tracks 7 to 13 are Sun Ra's earliest known recordings, first released in 1973 as the A-side of "Deep Purple" (El Saturn 485). Recording dates and personnel for these tracks are speculative. Track 7 was recorded between 1953 and 1954. Tracks 8 to 13 are thought to have been recorded in 1955.
