Hard to find but classic Sun Ra:

The EP is on Qobuz & Tidal, but I assume you mean the full Nuclear War album, which I definitely don’t have.

I beg to differ, sir. Here’s the start of a list of 26 LPs -

The Internet has really taken all the joy out of hunting for records. The crate with the Sun Ra records was always in the back room and on the floor underneath the table with the crates of records that people might actually be interested in. :laughing:

The sentiment and image make me very happy. I’m a “cusp generation” person - can remember being taken into those dusty back rooms to look for records by relatives and being kind of bored and confused but finding it kind of magical. At the same time, I know that my kids feel a bit of the same way when I put on a record at all. Those places mostly don’t exist any more, and I can almost certainly get 99%+ of those recordings on Qobuz/Tidal, but I still love when I find a real vinyl store with an extensive catalog. I am impressed by the Brooklyn hipsters who run small storefronts and do decent business selling only new vinyl, and it makes the business continue to hum. But yes, the Internet gutted another form of fascinating secondary markets, for better and for worse.

Has anyone mentioned Booker Little? Fantastic left-field trumpet player, died early in a tragic accident. Only 4 records as a leader, here’s my favourite one. Try Opening Statement, you won’t know where the hell did that come from…
