SUN RA & HIS MYTH SCIENCE ARKESTRA: When Angels Speak Of Love (LP)
**shipping begins next week**
While most of the Saturn output couldn’t get any rarer or mysterious than it already was, when When Angels Speak of Love was released in 1966 it was the most elusive and mysterious in the Sun Ra catalog. Its speculated that the record was issued in two micro runs, estimated to be 150 copies each. Hard core collectors around the world had been searching for this gem to no avail until Evidence Records released a CD version in 2000. This updated offering utilizes the actual master tapes and we get to hear the Arkestra in it’s cosmic mid-60s mono prime.
