Sun Ra - Lady With The Golden Stockings

Limited edition colored ten inch vinyl pressing. "The Lady With The Golden Stockings" is a propulsive, forthright groove - a decisive, deep-space, pre-dawn party jam, emitting golden sparks from the black hole center which begat "Africa" and "Watusa." Pure poetry in sublime, delicate, rhythmelodic motion becomes "Spontaneous Simplicity," a centerpiece among the gently blissful, tender works in the Sun Ra canon. The title "Love in Outer Space" first appeared in 1962 on the Saturn album Secrets of the Sun. With the emergence of this vocal version and the ascension of the Sun Ra Arkestra's mid-70s popularity, onstage the tune became a quintessential Ra anthem, a vehicle for frenzied acrobatics and organ-asmic drum-orgies of hyper ecstatic proportion.
