Sun Ra - Just Friends (1983)

 In 1983 Sun Ra released an Anthology record on his Saturn label. Ra hand picked 6 tracks previously released from his vast catalog in addition to two new tracks recorded the previous year (1982). This is offered to the 'completists' out there as most tracks have been remastered and have become available on CD.  Many many thanks again to Paul W for his fantastic FLAC LP rip of this Sun Ra rarity.
