here is the info file from Dime
Sun Ra and
His Cosmo Love Dance
Orchestra
Mandela Room, SUNY-Binghamton
Binghamton, NY
6-December-1987
Yet another installment of soundboard recordings in the Bob Scalcione collection.
CONTRAST CLAUSE: This torrent was made from what appear to be the original master tapes from this performance. It is approximately 110 minutes long as opposed to the 93 minutes of a previous torrent of this performance.
This, if memory serves, is one of two different performances that Sun Ra gave at what is now Binghamton University before his passing.
Lineage: SBD Tape > Nakamichi CR-1A > Adobe Audition (hard drive transfer, level adjustments and tracking) > FLAC, level 8 > You, the listener!
If you want to convert this program to MP3 for use in an Ipod or similar appliance, that’s fine. PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE IT IN THAT FORM.
Selling bootleg versions of this program is not only a violation of our trust, it’s pointless!
While I enjoy Sun Ra’s music, I’m not entirely familiar with the titles of the pieces presented here. A track listing would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
