::: Very fine AUD in small club. Check samples for disavowel or ardent admiration.
::: Warts: Sid not do meticulous remastering so there are a few (cross-channel patchable) dull spots here & there. #11 has tapeflip cut now with seamless spice.
::: First-ever circulated digital transfer direct from master tapes.
::: Feel free to supply the missing title for #07 you know it.
::: Concert actually billed as "Sun Ra and His 21st Century Arkestra" according to tape label.
