FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS
StockID: 54875 SKU: AUG221422
Drawn from private collections- this is the first comprehensive collection of the Saturn label's record covers- along with hundreds of hand-designed- one-of-a-kind sleeves and labels decorated by Sun Ra and members of his Arkestra. In his 45-year recording career- he issued an epic number of albums and these records were sold at concerts- club dates- and by mail order. More than just packaging for a slab of vinyl- they are works of art in their own right. The books also includes essays by Sun Ra catalog preservationist Irwin Chusid- noted Ra scholars John Corbett and Glenn Jones. This book is a tribute to the covers and to the uncredited visual artists and their rich imaginations.
