'Monorails and Satellites Volumes 1 & 2' were the first commercial LPs of Sun Ra's solo keyboard excursions. Recorded in 1966 and released on his Saturn imprint in 1968, 'Volume 1' featured seven idiosyncratic originals and one standard ('Easy Street') delivered in Ra's singular manner. 'Volume 2' was released the following year, and contains five compositions, all originals. A third volume was prepped but shelved, and this deluxe edition marks it's premiere release. Essential Ra!
