Sun Ra - Discipline 27 II (1973)


Pathways friend, Paul W. has kindly offered another Saturn rarity - this one with several scans included.
Paul was kind enough to remove the track breaks within the title track. Many thanks, Paul!  Another note, these sessions also are the source for the Impulse! issue Space Is The Place.

Part of a 1.5 day session under the supervision of Ed Michel that produced enough material for four albums. [Personnel from album jacket; location and date from Chase]
The album (unusually for a Saturn) was reviewed in Down Beat, 41 (1), 1/17/74, by Ray Townley, who called it a "lackluster session" and said "the worst feature... is the random slicing of the long title cut" into several bands, apparently in an effort to get airplay.
