Tape boxes wrongly labeled - whether by accident or design - are legendary among Ra archivists. One can speculate about the artist's intent or carelessness, but source misinformation abounds on Ra tape cases, album jackets, cassettes, ephemera-as well as in interviews. It's as if Ra, in furtherance of his own mythmaking, wanted to keep historians guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis project began as a misidentified tape discovered by Michael D. Anderson of the Sun Ra Music Archive. The 7-inch reel, which contained a live Ra solo piano performance of 11 works - some recognizable, others not - was of stellar quality, and was marked as a 1979 Carnegie Hall date. But the program on the tape did not align with known facts (e.g., titles played, concert duration) which were chronicled in a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNewsday\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ereview of Ra's appearance at Carnegie in September of that year. With a prod from writer\/historian Ted Gioia and further research by myself, the tape was eventually identified as a mostly unreleased July 1977 performance by Ra at a downtown NYC \"jazz café\" called The Axis-in-Soho.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellow Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"selections\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Redeye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56666039320908,"sku":"090771827111","price":8.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/MHLP8271C__01669.jpg?v=1770367560","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/pre-order-sun-ra-uncharted-passages-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
