Sun Ra with Dave Alvin at Club Lingerie 1985

 A 6 hour Sun Ra show! I might have heard it all by now, I tend to play it laying in a bed waiting for the melatonin to kick in

got it off Dime

I finally feel it's ok to share this one as it seems many of the Ra hardcore have this. But I know a lot don't and it definitely deserves to get out. 35 years ago.
Great sound, a well balanced mix and some nice performances over 6 hours!

notes:
This has circulated quietly for at least 15 years. I have 4-5 different versions including this one. This is tied for longest copy and wins for best organized. I think set 5 belongs elsewhere in the order here but I can't say where.
Some solo Alvin tunes, and a few with the Arkestra.
NONE of this has been officially released.
Word has always been 1985 for the date and then a few years back the ad (enclosed) turned up. I can't imagine there was another 2 night stand with Alvin. But if anyone has more input please advise!
