Sun Ra 19790913 Omniverse El Saturn Records 91379

84. Sun Ra and his Arkestra
Omniverse
Saturn 91379

Side A:
The Place of Five Points (Ra)
West End Side of Magic City (Ra)
Dark Lights in a White Forest (Ra)
Side B:

Omniverse (Ra)
Visitant of the Ninth Ultimate (Ra)

Ra-p; Michael Ray-tp; Marshall Allen-as; John Gilmore-ts; Danny Ray Thompson-bs; Richard Williams-b; Luqman Ali-d. Probably West End Cafe, New York, 9/13/1979. [Geerken, corrected by rlc; thanks to Dan Plonsey for a tape]

Sun Ra played Saturn 456 on WKCR. It was a pressing of Side A of this album. There was nothing on the label (as read by Phil Schaap) except Saturn 456 and West End. Is West End also a reference to Ra's old stomping grounds in Birmingham? Five Points seems to be. [rlc]
