Strut presents a new definitive collection of \u003cem\u003eSingles\u003c\/em\u003e released by jazz maverick Sun Ra during his Earth years, spanning 1952 to 1991. Released prolifically during the 1950s and more sporadically thereafter, primarily on the Saturn label, the 45s offer one-off meteorites from Ra's prolific cosmic journey, tracing the development of his forward-thinking \"Space-Bop\" and his unique take on jazz and blues traditions which sounded unlike anything else from the period. As with his LPs, most 45s were only pressed in small runs and were sold at gigs and have since become extremely rare and sought after. Only a small handful of copies of \"Love In Outer Space\" b\/w \"Mayan Temple\" and \"The Blue One\" b\/w \"Orbitration In Blue\" have ever been seen; some have only been discovered in physical form in recent years; some were planned and penciled in but allegedly never made it to vinyl (including \"Saturn\" and \"Velvet\" from the Jazz In Silhouette LP) and some appeared as limited one-off magazine singles and posthumous releases, including \"Hell #1\" aka \"Out There A Minute.\" The set is the most comprehensive collection of Ra's singles to date. Sleeve note writers Francis Gooding and Paul Griffiths brilliantly illustrate the role of the single within Ra's career and break down each release with detailed track by track notes. Working with Sun Ra LLC and Sun Raarchivist Michael D. Anderson, Strut has also assembled the best possible master sources for each track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e - Disc 1 -\u003cbr\u003e1 I Am An Instrument\u003cbr\u003e2 I Am Strange\u003cbr\u003e3 Chicago USA\u003cbr\u003e4 Spaceship Lullaby\u003cbr\u003e5 Daddy's Gonna Tell You No Lie\u003cbr\u003e6 A Foggy Day\u003cbr\u003e7 I'm Coming Home\u003cbr\u003e8 Last Call for Love\u003cbr\u003e9 Soft Talk\u003cbr\u003e10 Super Blonde\u003cbr\u003e11 Saturn\u003cbr\u003e12 Call for All Demons\u003cbr\u003e13 Demon's Lullaby\u003cbr\u003e14 Super-Sonic Jazz (Super Blonde)\u003cbr\u003e15 Medicine for a Nighmare\u003cbr\u003e16 Urnack\u003cbr\u003e17 It's Christmas Time\u003cbr\u003e18 Happy New Year to You!\u003cbr\u003e19 M Uck M Uck (Matt Matt)\u003cbr\u003e20 Hot Skillet Momma\u003cbr\u003e21 Bye Bye\u003cbr\u003e22 Somebody's in Love\u003cbr\u003e23 Hours After\u003cbr\u003e24 Great Balls of Fire\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Disc 2 -\u003cbr\u003e1 October\u003cbr\u003e2 Adventure in Space\u003cbr\u003e3 Dreaming\u003cbr\u003e4 Daddy's Gonna Tell You No Lie\u003cbr\u003e5 Round Midnight\u003cbr\u003e6 Back in Your Own Backyard\u003cbr\u003e7 Saturn\u003cbr\u003e8 Velvet\u003cbr\u003e9 The Sun One\u003cbr\u003e10 Message to Earthman\u003cbr\u003e11 The Sun Man Speaks\u003cbr\u003e12 Space Loneliness\u003cbr\u003e13 State Street\u003cbr\u003e14 The Blue Set\u003cbr\u003e15 Big City Blues\u003cbr\u003e16 A Blue One\u003cbr\u003e17 Orbitration in Blue\u003cbr\u003e18 Hell #1 (A.K.A.
