Sun Ra and his Arkestra featurig John Gilmore on Tenor Sax     I don’t have any information about this as I don’t have the disc, just the cover, which is “homemade.”   The back is all pasted over with gold foil and the front has hand-coloring and some stickers.     I think that this covered one of Sun Ra’s records on Saturn.   Any Sun Ra followers out there that can shine some light here?

This cover is so great, they actually put the same full photo on the back as well.   No writing anywhere.     We might be asking for trouble, but there’s a free LP Cover Lover T-shirt for the best caption submitted by November 4th.
