Sun Ra's musical legacy is a many-sided dice, but if there's one unanimous entry point into his astral adventure it is surely Space Is The Place. Originally transmitted to earth in 1973, this landmark record bursts with life from the opening strains of the title track in all its 20-plus-minute glory. This is a record which transcends most typical definitions, breaking down barriers and showing what's possible if we just dare to dream.

Notes from release: "Space Is The Place was originally released on Blue Thumb Records in 1973 as BTS-41. Impulse producer Ed Michel supervised the recording session. Impulse, then owned by ABC, was releasing many of Sun Ra's albums under a distribution agreement with Saturn Records during the same time. For these reasons Space In The Place has been returned to its rightful place on Impulse."

Packaging: 6-panel Digipak with 12-page booklet.
