About

The complete classic album + bonus track - 180g vinyl pressing. Super Sonic Jazz (later reissued as Super Sonic Sounds) was one of the many albums recorded by Sun Ra for the Saturn label from the mid-fifties to the early-sixties. It was recoded in 1956 at the RCA Studios in Chicago and was actually the first album to be released on El Saturn Records, a label owned and run by Alton Abraham and Sun Ra. The label El Saturn is considered, along with the Charles Mingus/Max Roach Debut label and Harry Partch's Gate 5 label, one of the very first and most active artist-owned record labels.
