Sun Ra - Sleeping Beauty LP (original artwork variant)

Strut present here a new issue with its original artwork (although I expect there were some variants in the originals as they were hand drawn) of this rare and brilliant 1979 LP of cosmic jazz. It's hard not to do anything but recommend this record - maybe a bit more accessible (like On Jupiter). "Door of the Cosmos" which has variously been taken and interpreted for dance floors and backrooms, really is an essential Sun Ra record with June Tyson's vocals leading the way. Beautiful.
