Pharoah Sanders discography 1978

Session 1, Pharoah Sanders & Norman Connors with the Starship Orchestra, Montreux Jazz Festival, 22.07.1978

Pharoah Sanders ts 3-5

1.Babylon (McCoy) 8:40
2.Beyond a Dream (Kenny Cox) 10:23
3.Montreux Suite (Sanders-Connors-Cox-Lyle) 52:47

Lots of mess with this date. The official Beyond a Dream has 2 opening tunus of the Starship Orchestra without Pharoah and then 3 tunes entitled:

3.Montreux Overture (Sanders) 4:35
4.The End of the Beginning (Lyle) 4:55
5.Casino Latino (Sanders) 15:25

which are in fact excerpts of a long 52:06 suite (entitled to cause more confusion SWEET on Montreux database site) of the whole Pharoah/Norman band. The bootleg MEDITATION has full Pharoah/Connors part of the set, giving the name of the suite as THE CREATOR HAS A MASTER PLAN which is of course only the editors wish. The whole listing of the concert is given above. Below the listings from both - official and bootleg recordings.
