Herman Poole Blount, who rechristened himself Sun Ra and claimed Saturn as his birthplace, built a decades-long live tradition around the Arkestra's theatrical, all-encompassing performances, and that spirit of communal transcendence is exactly what this music demands to be heard on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. Space Is The Place - highlighted by the rousing 21-minute title track - is both an essential album and a great onramp for new listeners to travel the spaceways of Sun Ra's other-worldly blend of avant-garde jazz, experimental rock, and Afrofuturism. The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDisc 1\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Space Is The Place (21:14)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Images (6:15)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Discipline 33 (4:50)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Sea Of Sounds (7:42)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Rocket Number Nine (2:59)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602455406729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.8.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Thumb Records (BTS 41)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1973  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Space Is The Place – 21:14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Images – 6:15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Discipline 33 – 4:50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Sea Of Sound – 7:42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Rocket Number Nine – 2:50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarry Northington – Alto Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDanny Davis – Alto Saxophone, Flute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarshall Allen – Alto Saxophone, Flute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun Ra – Arranged By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePat Patrick – Baritone Saxophone, Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDanny Ray Thompson – Baritone Saxophone, Flute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEloe Omoe – Bass Clarinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun Ra – Composed By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlzo Wright – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarry Richards – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobert Underwood – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaker Bigsby – Engineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLex Humphries – Percussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRussell Branch – Percussion, Congas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStanley Morgan – Percussion, Congas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun Ra – Piano, Organ (Space), Synthesizer (Moog)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlton Abraham – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEd Michel – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Gilmore – Tenor Saxophone, Drums, Vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAkh Tal Ebah – Trumpet, Flugelhorn (Fuglehorn), Vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLamont McClamb – Trumpet, Percussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheryl Banks – Vocals (Space Ethnic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJudith Holton – Vocals (Space Ethnic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJune Tyson – Vocals (Space Ethnic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuth Wright – Vocals (Space Ethnic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547782304062,"sku":"362920","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633306923326-transparent-v2.png?v=1791445632","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/sun-ra-space-is-the-place-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
