What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[sidewinder]

Reel-to-Real 2LP. Kevin Gray has done a good mastering job on this one. Land is typically top notch, as is Carmell Jones.

I've only listened to the original version so far. Sounds very nice.

Interesting. I certainly don't know it. I will check it out.

Currently having all the fun in the world with Arthur Blythe, having just finished a birthday girl Shirley Collins marathon.

I wonder if he has ever heard Sonny Sharrock (solo on title track)?

Yes, it's a fascinating connection.  Maybe Sharrock heard the "desert blues" somewhere

My vinyl is dead quiet, not warped and of a standard weight.  I don't have an original to compare to, unfortunately.  The sound is good to my ears on the released version but is a bit boomy and unsubtle on the other. I'm no audiophile, as this blogger appears to be, and I'm happy to own this as Lanquidity is one of my favourite Ra's.

I think Strut was going for the kitsch factor on their vinyl release of this album. I don't know of many (if any) Sun Ra reissues that don't have digital steps in the vinyl pressing process, so they're never going to be AAA.
