Originally issued as El Saturn 101679, recorded on 10/16/79, never reissued before in any form (before Artyard's prior LP edition in 2005). "On Jupiter uses more than the usual amount of post recording processing and mixing, nudging up to the jazz-rock/disco music of its time, but not getting too close. These are still eccentric, expanded, lurching musical beasts. And it's nice to hear the oboe and bassoon -- so often lost on the live concert mixes -- so prominent here. The playing is great, as ever. This release along with Sleeping Beauty are two of the more accessible Ra releases and mark a rare experiment in quasi popularity by the band. They are both also, at present, collectors' items.
Packaged in tri-folded digipak cover. Originally released on the El Saturn record label, #101679. Recorded mid to late May and on October 16th 1979 in New York. Release credited to Sun Ra And His Solar Arkestra, although a second group name is given in smaller type: Sun Ra And His Intergalactic Myth Science Solar Arkestra.
