Sun Ra & His Myth Science Arkestra - When Angels Speak of Love LP

When Angels Speak Of Love has several of the elements that would give Ra and the Arkestra their psychedelic era relevance - Jazz Times Released in 1966, this 1963 set recorded at the Choreographers Workshop was one of a number of sessions which established Sun Ra’s Arkestra as a New York band. Sonically coupled to developments in the decidedly urbane downtown arts underground, the stargazing clamor of the music reflects the intensity of a cultural crossroads where concrete and dust pervade any skyward view, from East 3rd Street to Mars and beyond. One of Sun Ra's rarest releases, it had negligible circulation through records shops upon release. 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. Speculation over the years is that the record was issued in two micro runs, estimated at 150 copies each. Hardcore collectors around the world
