Sun Ra - Other Strange Worlds (Sneak Peek)


Previously unissued Sun Ra LP to be released by Roaratorio

Early 2014 should see the release of a previously unissued Sun Ra LP from 1966, entitled “Other Strange Worlds”. It will be released by Roaratorio. It draws from the same sessions as “Strange Strings” – perhaps the most singular recording in Ra’s entire canon – but while that album featured a full size Arkestra, this one finds Ra exploring similar territory with a small ensemble.
