    Sun Ra Astro Black

    Modern Harmonic

      LP

      One of a handful of albums Sun Ra released on the legendary Impulse! label in the early '70s, Astro Black provides a comprehensive picture of where the Arkestra was around the time, drawing to the end of their ultra-free period and beginning to investigate more traditional jazz forms, and even the fringes of funk. Modern Harmonic is proud to present the first ever, proper reissue of this highly desired Sun Ra LP. Pressed on Astro Black/Purple vinyl, the record will look black on your turntable but show a purple swirl when you hold it between you and the sun, or the Sun.
