Sonny Sharrock - Space Ghost Coast to Coast



I was quite delighted to come across an unknown Sharrock in the Vitous post below, so just to follow up on that pleasant discovery, here is the last commercial release from Sharrock before his untimely passing away in 1994. This was done for the Cartoon Network TV channel, basically Sharrock and a drummer, but with a bassist and a bit of vocal on the first two tracks. Unmistakably Sharrocky throughout on this, whatchamacallit, EP, I spose. Good rocking stuff!

01. Hit Single
02. Cinnamon Ghost
03. Out To Launch
04. Fear Of A Ghost Planet
05. Rocket #99
06. Ghost Planet National Anthem

According to Discogs, these are the players (though undisclosed on the actual cd):

Bass, Horns – Eddie Horst
Drums – Lance Carter
Guitar – Sonny Sharrock
Vocals – Alfreda Gerald

This has been doing the rounds on blogs in mp3 format, but as this is off my own cd, we'll settle for flac. No second best solution here!
