Recorded on November 16, 1965 at RLA Sound Studios New York City.
The original pressing (this) notes the "156 Fifth Avenue" address on the back cover. There is also a repress which notes "300 W. 55 Street" as the address.
Sides are not labeled, but have the same B&W image of Sun Ra.
The back cover does not have the standard picture of Sun Ra, but rather has ESP releases as in the 1966 record sleeve.
The Sun Myth track is the B version that has no background vocals.
My understanding is that the 156 Fifth Ave cover changed in 1970, so this definitely 1969 at the latest. That it is the B version of Sun Myth and is in stereo indicates it is likely not 1966, but either '67 or '68.
There is a mono version of this listed, this is the stereo version.
Max runout is simply 1017A / 1017B
VINYL: Vinyl plays superb, with almost no interference in the sound quality. Would say much better than VG+. Visibly there are only few hairlines - all which are inaudible.
Sleeve: No major flaws at all. Some minor corner dings. Vg+/Ex.
