Ron's Piece:
This piece was specially composed for Ron to play on his saxophone in orbit and was to become the first musical piece played and recorded in space. Ron was so excited about this piece that he rehearsed it continuously in quarantine whilst preparing the mission. May the memory of my friend, the astronaut and the musician, Ron McNair live on through this music. Jean-Michel Jarre.

The booklet has only 8 color pages.

Packaged in jewel case with transparent tray.

Remark:
This pressing is made from a defective master with semitone pitch-bender faults on track 2 at around 16 seconds in with pitch changes and with the actual sound quality itself becoming slightly muffled. This fault occurs again around 3:52 and again at 5:23.
