      This Sun Ra release is a collaboration between Sun Ra, little known flautist Harold Murray (Black Harold) and the then 24-year old Pharoah Sanders. It was recorded at Judson Hall, NY on New Years Eve 1964 but was not released until 1976 on Alton Abraham and Ra's El Saturn Label. The most noticeable thing about this album's line-up is the fact that John Gilmore does not appear on this as he was working with Paul Bley, Andrew Hill and Art Blakey at the time, hence Pharoah's place on the record. Features the earliest edition of "The Shadow World", which appears on many of the later Arkestra albums, but was first recorded here as "The World Shadow". A noteble quote from Sun Ra: "It should be very interesting to the world to show what the pre-Coltrane Pharoah Sanders was like...."
