Tracks One thru Six were originally issued as the LP Sound Sun Pleasure (Saturn 512). It is thought to be recorded between 1958 and 1960 in Chicago. Tracks Seven thru Thirteen are Sun Ra's earliest known recordings. They were first released in 1973 on an LP entitled Deep Purple (El Saturn 485). The recording dates and personnel on these tracks are the subject of much controversy and can only be surmised. Track Seven , Deep Purple, feature famous jazz violinist Stuff Smith, and is thought to be recorded between 1953 and 1954. Tracks Eight thru Thirteen are thought to be recorded in 1955.

Strut present the final instalment in their series of reissues of Sun Ra’s historic recordings in Egypt with The Sun Ra Arkestra meets Salah Ragab in Egypt plus the Cairo Jazz Band, originally released on Greek label Praxis in 1983.

Thirteen hours of unreleased and ultra-rare music. The Eternal Myth Revealed is a 14 disc docu-biography of Ra's life and career, from his birth in 1914 up to 1959. In addition to his own music, it includes music he was influenced by, and a lot of stuff he may or may not have had a hand in as arranger, vocal coach, pianist or something else. Sun Ra's output was as prolific as Ellington's, and discographers have had nightmares and arguments attempting to document it accurately.

The planets align as the mighty Sun Ra Arkestra, under the direction of the maestro Marshall Allen, are releasing their first studio album in over twenty years, ‘Swirling’.

Strut presents the 4CD edition of Sun Ra's 'Egypt 1971', documenting Sun Ra's first trip to Egypt with his Arkestra in December 1971.
