Sun Ra Arkestra, The
The Nubians Of Plutonia

Listening notes

This 2016 vinyl release from Cornbread Records (catalog number CRNBR16009) presents The Sun Ra Arkestra's The Nubians Of Plutonia, catalogued under the genres of Hard Bop and Jazz. The pressing brings together seven tracks spread across two sides of the record.

Side A opens with "Plutonian Nights," followed by "The Golden Lady" and "Star Time." Side B carries four tracks: "Nubia," "Africa," "Watusa," and "Aiethopia." The titles across the program gesture toward themes that were consistent preoccupations in Sun Ra's broader body of work — the cosmic and the African — with track names referencing Plutonian space, ancient Nubia, and the African continent appearing on both sides of the record.

The release appears under Cornbread Records, identified in discographic databases as Cornbread Records (2), a label designation that distinguishes this imprint from other entities sharing the name. The catalog number CRNBR16009 places this within that label's documented output for 2016.

No track durations are available in the verified data for this release, which limits the information that can be provided about the overall runtime or the relative weight of individual pieces within the program. Similarly, personnel, recording dates, and pressing specifications are not among the confirmed details available here and are therefore not addressed in this entry.

Collectors and researchers approaching this release should note that the absence of duration data and personnel credits in the current record means those details would need to be sourced and verified independently before being treated as confirmed for this specific pressing.

*Unreviewed draft — flagged for fact-checker verification of label identity, catalog number accuracy, and tracklist spelling, particularly "Aiethopia."*
