John B. Litweiler Liner Notes
Two complete albums on one CD. Planet Earth features very early tracks from 1956-60 tracing the evolution of Ra through three Chicago bands. Recorded at the end of the Chicago period, Interstellar Low Ways represents the end of an era, showing him poised for the big changes that would follow after Ra's move to New York City. |
