For example I’ve owned three different pressings of “the magic city” until I finally now have a mono pressing with textured paste on cover which even then I’m not 100% if it’s true first issue or not!!

I was able to put my hands on Silhouette (sci-fi cover), We travel, Visits planet Earth, Strange strings, Continuation and Futuristic sounds: a collector sold me his entire Ra collection in nm conditions. The Ra albums from 70s/80s (with some exceptions) often come for sale here in Italy: Ra played several times, he was much requested at the jazz festivals. So, record shops always had a little Ra discography. Anyway, when I saw the other Saturns I tried to offer a big sum but the owner told me: not for sale!!!

I have around 15 or so but mainly from 70s and early 80s. Just a few earlier ones..my gem is a NM blue label “we travel the spaceways” bought off a fellow contributor here Lennib.

Ra’s discography is infamously challenging in its sheer volume, I can’t imagine more than a few folks have a handle on it. I think its over 250 releases?

As you know, Sun Ra was very popular in Europe and especially in Italy. I bought a few records at his concerts, but his discography is wide and difficult. I got several Saturns but my collector dream are some Ra records from mid to late 1960. I only saw one time in the hand of a collector titles like Angels and demons, Nubians, Bad and beautiful: I offered him really big money but he declined my offer.
Ps: Roberto Castelli praised me to send you his best greetings

It’s a pipe dream of mine to have a nice original silk-screened original as it’s probably my favorite Ra LP, but it’s likely never to happen. I’ve paid close to 4 figures before for an album, but I don’t think I could bring myself to ever jump over into the $1000 field of play.

It was second press cover. I remember paying 100 for that lp a year ago in vg++/vg++ . Good for the seller though. The khan Jamal record is beyond rare though so that makes sense
