Lanquidity Records release a lost Sun Ra Arkestra recording, their first ever performance in Poland in 1986.

Thumbs up for Adrian Magrys and Mateusz Surma from Lanquidity Records for great work on this release. I guess it must be something special for them too – name of the their Label is taken from Sun Ra 1978 album on Philly Jazz. After a few…
