This is a live recording from December 31, 1964 at Jordan Hall in NYC.  It wasn't released until 1976.  I bought it off the stage after an Sun Ra concert in Bloomington, Indiana, probably in 1977.  It features Pharoah Sanders and flautist Black Harold. The songs are Gods on a Safari, The World Shadow (later recorded as The Shadow World), The Voice of Pan and Dawn over Israel.  It is the usual rather crude Saturn recording.  The record is in fine condition.  It has only been played a few times, but the recording and sound quality are below industry standard.  This has been one of my personal treasures and I hope it will be one of yours as well.  It is in a plain white album cover.  The record labels were original plain but they have been hand decorated.  I added the album title and labeled Side 1 and Side 2 in ink.  Enjoy!!
