Definitive remastered and expanded stereo version from 2017. For this definitive edition, historical and technical liner notes are provided by noted jazz historian Ben Young, who restored and remastered the album with his Triple Point Records partner Joe Lizzi. First-generation Saturn pressings of The Magic City were monophonic. A full stereo version had been issued on Sun Ra's Thoth subsidiary label sometime after 1969; however, it suffered from a technical flaw that prevented many copies of the LP from tracking cleanly through the first cut on side B. A 1973 gatefold LP reissue on Impulse featured reprocessed stereo. For this definitive reissue, Cosmic Myth Records used stereo sources which are superior to the Thoth pressing. Packaged in a Digipak with 16pp booklet insert. Featuring musicians Harry Spencer, Danny Davis, Marshall Allen, Pat Patrick, Ronnie Boykins, Robert Cummings, Bernard Pettaway, Jimhmi Johnson, Roger Blank, Tommy Hunter, Sun Ra, Ali Hassan, Teddy Nance, Chris Capers, Walter Miller & John Gilmore.
