The name Salah Ragab was best known to jazz fans and record collectors by way of another LP that was recorded with Sun Ra in the early '70s. His album Prism Music Unit with the Cairo Jazz Band was released in Egypt with another by the Cairo Free Jazz Ensemble, but perhaps only Salah himself knew of the other songs he had recorded at the time that didn't make it onto these LPs. Entombed within a hand-printed, hand-made pyramid-shaped box, this is the first time in 40 years that these recordings have come to light. Last copies.
