To commemorate the 100th birthday of Sun Ra, The Sun Ra Music Archive has embarked on an extensive and exclusive Mastered for iTunes reissue program. The Mastered for iTunes format exceeds the standard 16-bit sound quality of CDs, starting with 24-bit transfers from the analog master tapes. The archive’s reissue includes over twenty different albums that are representative of the diverse sounds that Sun Ra melded and experimented with, including early classics like Sun Ra Visits Planet Earth, from 1958 and essential releases like “Nubians of Plutonia,” “Jazz in Silhouette and “Sun Ra Visits Earth.”. The reissues will be released by the Enterplanetary Koncepts label and is said to be the first of many.
