Greatest Song Evar! 3


I have been binging on Sun Ra as of late, and I keep coming across different versions of Satellites Are Spinning, which was somewhat of a staple in Sun Ra live sets. Sometimes they only worked the chorus into the end or beginning of an improv jam and other times they would perform the usually three and half minute song on it's own. Below are several different versions that I've upped to the blog for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

Sun Ra "We Sing This Song" (Taken From Spaceways)


Sun Ra "Satellites Are Spinning" (Taken From Space is the Place Soundtrack)


Sun Ra "Calling Planet Earth" (Taken From Calling Planet Earth)


Sun Ra "Satellites Are Spinning" (Taken From The Solar Myth Approach Vol. 1)
