Stick
This is one crazy-ass record! Besides being one of the rarer Ra outings is very string-heavy, which is very unusual for Ra, with every single member of the ensemble joining in the attack. On top of that there is this weird gargling vocal thing going on. Seriously, it sounds like the man has a throat full of Listerine. This is also the first Sun Ra record I ever heard. I bought it at a 2nd hand shop around 1972-73 after hearing my high school math teacher tell me about a Ra gig he saw at the Stanford University planetarium.
