    Synopsis
    In 1972, the legendary musician, composer and mystic Sun Ra (1914-1993) was hard at work scripting and acting in the now classic documentary on his life and work, Space is the Place , as well as publishing his second book of poetry. The book of poems (now extremely rare) was designed and edited by Ra's manager, who asked one of Ra's band members in the Arkestra--the drummer and percussionist Ayé Aton--to contribute images to accompany Ra's poems. The final publication contained three photographs of Aton's indoor, space-themed murals. Published here for the first time, the full set of photographs forms an incredible and revelatory body of work, and is presented here alongside a cache of never-before-seen contemporaneous photographs taken on the set of Space Is the Place in Oakland, featuring Ra in full regalia, wearing outrageous Egyptian costumes borrowed from a local masonic temple. These spectacular photographs--unseen artifacts from a now remote time--offer us a special and often entertaining behind-the-scenes glimpse of a much-missed musical visionary., Sun Ra was a controversial and prolific jazz composer, bandleader, piano player, poet and philosopher known for his cosmic philosophy, musical compositions and performances. 1972 was a pivotal year for Sun Ra, he had signed a multi-album deal, recorded what would be his most well-known song, Space is the Place and was hard at work scripting and acting in a hilarious auto-biopic movie by the same name. This is a collection of unseen on set and backstage photos as well as pictures of murals created by band member Aye Aton., In 1972, the legendary musician, composer and mystic Sun Ra (1914-1993) was hard at work scripting and acting in the now classic documentary on his life and work, Space is the Place , as well as publishing his second book of poetry.

      Seamless transaction and even better than what was described!! Seller shipped fast, in clean packaging and the item was in brand new condition— it still had the plastic wrap and everything!! It was a very pleasant surprise :) The disk quality was flawless as well! With it being from Germany I wasn't sure if the region would play on my device (thankfully it did!!) but that was a risk I was cognisant of, and willing to take! Will keep an eye out for future items from this seller!

      Item packaging was broken open, needed to be in a "shipping quality cardboard box" , item NOT damaged . Item arrived timely, in the condition seller described, and insecurely packaged. Would definitely buy from the seller again.
