Sun Ra – Lanquidity

Wow wow wow. This sounds fantastic and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend grabbing a copy. Holiest of holy grail records until I find that OG copy!

lets be honest, this is an accident !
tried my luck, cause of some kinda positive comments here.
my copy is super flat, but significant clicks all over the a side.
a2 where pathways meet, which i came for, is not enjoyable.
also loosing parts of the both tracks before & after, a1 & a3.
at least the b side without higher surface noise.
but 2200 owners, should be harcore fans.

Controversial release. The sound is superb - clear, open and wide, detailed top end. Just perfect.
The packaging is awesome too. Cool box with inner sleeves for the each version, nice booklet. Too bad there are regular paper sleeves for the plates.
On the other hand - terrible quality control. All four records are full of scuffs and even scratches. Plates 3 and 4 look just awful - like they came out of the crusher. Luckily most of the scuffs don’t affect the playing. But the scratch in the end of the last track is so bad, that I didn’t want to push my luck and play the record to the end. In fact I have only negative experience with releases pressed in Poland.

Excellent copy. No warp on my copy ordered directly from STRUT via Bandcamp. Sounds like an excellent version of the album.

Even no hassle with this pressing. no problems with the hole or warping, sound is fine (but i don't know the dynamics of the original masters)..

Love this record! 70's beat meets Sun Ra! This copy is damn good! Very slight warp. Dynamics are damn good for a reasonable reissue!

Anyone know what year this copy is? or decade? ty

Is the sound quality of this superior to the vinyl in any way? I'm trying g to choose thd right format for ultimate joy

Could anyone tell me if this 2021 pressing comes from reliable sources? ,,,,and will the cd sound better? I no longer go for format first. To me if i have a record i love on a first vinyl pressing which sounds muddy or inferior and find a cd of superior quality ill sell the vinyl and keep the cd. As is the case of Sun Ra's'Art forms...'

But i love this album and would be chiffed avoiding false steps

My first copy was also warped (nasty dish-warp, very prominent on one side, not so terrible on the other). The 2nd copy had the tiniest edge warp but it plays great. Mastering is lovely on this reissue. If you can deal with the frustration / Russian roulette of getting your hands on a playable copy, it's well worth it.
