Mastering comparison and review of 2014 Sun Ra Mastered for iTunes Remasters Part 3

Sun Ra Arkive continues its review and mastering comparison of the new 2014 "Mastered for iTunes" releases via iTunes, with our next installment of 4 titles. Michael "The Good Doctor" Anderson (http://sunraarchive.webstarts.com/), Irwin Chusid (http://irwin.wfmu.org/), and Sun Ra LLC utilized new hi-res transfers from the master tapes where available and, as you can hear, the results are a uniformly excellent improvement from previous releases of this music.

Please let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and stay tuned for Sun Ra Arkive's upcoming interview with Irwin Chusid about this fantastic reissue series and what we have to look forward to.
