Sun Ra - Sleeping Beauty (LP) Reissue Vinyl Record

Sun Ra – Sleeping Beauty 

Step into a dreamscape where cosmic jazz meets meditative funk—Sun Ra’s Sleeping Beauty is now reissued on heavyweight vinyl by Strut Records (UPC: 4062548108170), officially out July 18, 2025 (Lunchbox Records).

Originally released in 1979 on Sun Ra’s Saturn label, this album captures the Arkestra in a rare groove-oriented mode. Recorded during marathon Variety Studio sessions in New York, the trio of tracks flow with sublime serenity: “Springtime Again” washes you in warm, nocturnal soul; “Door of the Cosmos” unfolds into a space-funk incantation; and the title track “Sleeping Beauty” drifts into hypnotic wonder (Acoustic Sounds).

With its lush grooves, celestial soul, and meditative textures, Sleeping Beauty stands apart as Sun Ra’s most serene and beautiful late-night opus—a perfect soundtrack for dreamers and visionary music lovers alike (Acoustic Sounds).

This deluxe new pressing revives the album in its original artwork, embossed with Sun Ra’s glyph and housed in a heavy card sleeve, mastering courtesy of Technology Works for pristine clarity and depth (Acoustic Sounds).
