Who said anything about "extra credit"? The album placed at #143 (and it was #60 in my ballot), it's not like we voted it to top ten or something.

o superman is great!!! (can't believe the o superman argument has spilled over into this poll thread lol)
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Monday, 29 August 2011 19:25 (thirteen years ago) link
Don't worry Deej, I'm sure there'll be much more Coltrane than Sun Ra in the actual top 100.

i voted for this, one of my fave HH albums, admittedly it's more a funk album, but hey

Tijuana Moods was one of my top picks. I think I nommed that, too.

138 Pharoah Sanders - Jewels of Thought (1969) 637 Points, 6 voteshttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-SRYPec0ur0/TOJ5wtU8-PI/AAAAAAAAMZ4/KZ9QwDpjn3U/s400/Pharoah%252BSanders%252B%25281969%2529%252BJewels%252Bof%252BThought.jpg

Kinda disappointed at that one placing so low; it's arguably even better than Karma (which suffers from a weaker second track, unlike Jewels of Thought).
― Tuomas, Monday, 29 August 2011 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link
I voted for Jewels of Thought although it was the lowest-ranked of the four Sanders albums in my list.
Really enjoying the poll so far by the way - not got around to posting before now but have been busy noting down/listening to some of the many albums I've not heard. Natural Black Inventions: Root Strata has impressed me the most so far but also really enjoyed Brown Rice and Stone Flower. So much beautiful cover art on the thread already too.

yeah way out west is a cool example of taking what seems like a pretty questionable concept and making amazing music anyway. love the spareness of the trio sound here, rollins doesn't need a piano to sound huge.
― tylerw, Monday, 29 August 2011 20:07 (thirteen years ago) link
i remember reading some interview with the photographer of the way out west cover and him saying that through the whole shoot rollins was like "are you fucking kidding me." you can kind of see that in his expression. but then later he told the photog he loved the end result.

Haha, that's funny. Such a great record.

"One of the things I used to love about buying records was that thing where you just can't get hold of the stuff you want- like now, where people go round every dance shop in London, or every indie shop in London for some American import, until finally you find it, and it's like - 'YES! I've got it!' And then that record really becomes a part of your life. And I used to get that with Sun Ra. I got really into that sort of way-out avant-garde jazz, but you couldn't find his records anywhere. So, one day I was in a jazz shop in Chicago -which I think is where Sun Ra came from - and I said, 'have you got any Sun Ra?' The guy says, 'Yeah, all his stuff.' I said, 'give me everything.' 'Everything?' 'Yeah.' He comes back with 250 albums. Most of which I've still got in that room over there, still in the shrink-wrap."

BRILLIANT album
Sounds like it was Jazz Record Mart Townsend spoke of. I wonder what year that was!
― Fastnbulbous, Monday, 29 August 2011 20:24 (thirteen years ago) link
^ I was thinking the same thing! My guess is around 1967. He has also said that he listened to Heliocentric Worlds while writing the songs for My Generation, so he probably had that one Ra record, then tried to find all the others.
