| J-Card Comment | This is a DVD of Sun Ra's Polish television broadcast of late October 1987. Please be aware that this is nowhere a perfect viewing experience, since the VHS tape that I reviewed appears to be quite a few generations from the original. It contains visual tears and sonic pops, but is made available for those of us who cannot get enough the the Trickster from Birmingham/Saturn. The concert was digitised with iMovie HD & compiled, menued, &c. with iDVD, and is complete with menus and chapters. Thus, the final product is an NTSC format, and, when burned, ready for play on any settop player (and almost any modern computer). Thanks again to Alfred Woolfolk for the VHS copy. Chapters: 1. Polish television announcement 2. Introduction by Willis Conover, with parallel Polish translation 3. untitled improvisation 4. untitled improvisation (pt 2) 5. untitled improvisation 6.
