Choregraphers' Workshop, NYC, 1963. Stereo version originally issued in mono on [r=7069000], edited here (after Gilmore solo and before a Robert Cummings solo). Those credits and comments come from The Earthly Recordings of Sun Ra (2nd edition) by Robert L. Campbell and ChristopherTrent (Cadence Jazz Books) where it's split between entries # 77, 90, 91, 91, 92, 93, 108, 115, 151, 159 and 163. It was previously not spilt but with slight differences on (no more available) on-line Sun Ra discography which was a draft for first edition of Sun Ra discography by Campbell. Last but not least, again according to Robert L. Campbell (15 Aug. 1996 13:26:02 -0400 post on Sun Ra mailing list): The Blast First CD Out There A Minute came about as a result of a deal between the Blast First principals (whose names I don't know) and Sun Ra. Sunny supplied master tapes, some unissued, some from old Saturn LPs, and all completely undocumented. Blast First supplied cash up front. The deal took place in a Times Square Burger King at 2 am.
