Allan Songer Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 This must be the month where impossibly rare Sun Ra records are handed out for peanuts to me. Found this one this afternoon while killing time on ebay--it was listed as a $7.50 "Buy it Now." Af first I thought for sure is was the vinyl reissue from a couple of years ago (I have one of these), but I emailed the seller and he got back to me with details that made it obvious that this is an original. This is great session-- most of the LP can be seen as Sun Ra's answer to the disco revolution--furious beat with frentic, driving solos one right after the other, while the title cut is slow, languid mood piece--Ellingtonia meets Mingus meets Ra. Anyway, this is a killer record and I'm smiling ear to ear. I only hope it's in the VG+ condition that the seller claims it's in!! http://cgi.ebay.com/Sun-Ra-Lanquidity-1978-Philly-Jazz-LP_W0QQitemZ4804091955QQcategoryZ306QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAPTORMAN Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 You lucky dog you...........Keep us posted if that VG++ is the real thing or his own version. Just the same, keep that Oxy Deep ready. I just did a few of my records this afternoon--Man what a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
