"Fifteen different Saturn LPs, one movie soundtrack and two Saturn 45-rpm singles comprise this 'greatest hits' collection of pleasurable music recorded between 1956 and 1973. We have used the best available engineers and equipment in transferring Sun Ra's music to compact disc. The Sonic Solutions NoNoise System was used to remove unwanted noise found in the original sources. The fine sound reproduction heard on this disc was achieved despite the quality of the source material." 1 from ECD 22614 The Singles 2 from ECD 22015 Super-Sonic Jazz 3 from ECD 22066 Angels And Demons At Play / The Nubians Of Plutonia 4 from ECD 22012 Jazz In Silhouette 5 from ECD 22014 Sound Sun Pleasure 6 from ECD 22038 We Travel The Spaceways / Bad And Beautiful 7 from ECD 22039 Visits Planet Earth / Interstellar Low Ways 8 from ECD 22011 Holiday For Soul Dance 9 from ECD 22068 Fate In A Pleasant Mood / When Sun Comes Out 10 from ECD 22216 When Angels Speak Of Love 11 from ECD 22036 Cosmic Tones For Mental Therapy / Art Forms Of Dimensions Tomorrow 12 from ECD 22037 Other Planes Of There 13 from ECD 22013 Monorails And Satellites 14 from ECD 22067 Atlantis 15 from ECD 22040 My Brother The Wind Volume II 16 from ECD 22070 The Soundtrack To The Film Space Is The Place 17 from ECD 22217 The Great Lost Sun Ra Albums: Cymbals & Crystal Spears 18 from ECD 22164 The Singles
