Following the 2016 definitive Sun Ra singles collection, Strut presents Volume 2 on 3LP, focusing on his later period (1962–1991). These rare and varied 45s—mostly on the Saturn label—showcase Ra’s evolving “Space-Bop” style and unique jazz-blues fusion, including spoken word, R&B, and alternate versions of classics like Love In Outer Space and Rocket No. 9. Many tracks were pressed in limited runs or never officially released, making this collection highly sought after. With detailed notes by Chris Trent and Paul Griffiths, remastered audio, rare photos, and original artwork, this edition offers the best available masters curated with Sun Ra’s estate and archivist Michael D. Anderson.
