Sun Ra's mind-melting soundtrack to the film of the same name on vinyl for the first time. This deluxe, double LP pressing of Space Is The Place (not to be confused with the 1973 album on Blue Thumb) contains the mythical soundtrack to the avant-garde film in its entirety. The sessions were recorded in San Francisco early in 1972 and feature some of Sun Ra's most uncompromising compositions filled with other-worldly chanting, film dialog, harsh noise, out-there synths and general all-around weirdness. Definitely an adventurous listen for the uninitiated, but a must for the Sun Ra aficionado.
