Sun Ra - Life IS Splendid (from Ann Arbor 72 LP)



Life is Splendid
Thanks to Tom in SFCA for suggesting.


"My understanding is that Atlantic Records put out a compilation record of the 1972 Ann Arbor...Festival which contains an excerpt of the Sun Ra Arkestra's performance that was mastered from the original multi-track tapes (not the reference tapes used for the Life is Splendid release). I have been looking for this record but have not yet found it. It would be great if some Saturnian got this record, digitized the Arkestra's cut, and unleashed it on the interwebz. Here's hoping."

    I first stumbled across this blog only just a few days ago. I have spent many hours here since. Yotte, you are amazing! Thank you so much for your dedication and for all of your hard work. Life IS splendid indeed! Peace to you and to all of "the others who are not of Earth's dimensions one." - Tom in SFCA
