Those credits and comments come from The Earthly Recordings of Sun Ra (2nd edition) by Robert L. Campbell and ChristopherTrent (Cadence Jazz Books) where it's split between entries # 77, 90, 91, 91, 92, 93, 108, 115, 151, 159 and 163.
It was previously not spilt but with slight differences on (no more available) on-line Sun Ra discography which was a draft for first edition of Sun Ra discography by Campbell.
Last but not least, again according to Robert L. Campbell (15 Aug. 1996 13:26:02 -0400 post on Sun Ra mailing list):
The Blast First CD Out There A Minute came about as a result of a deal between the Blast First principals (whose names I don't know) and Sun Ra.
Sunny supplied master tapes, some unissued, some from old Saturn LPs, and all completely undocumented. Blast First supplied cash up front. The deal took place in a Times Square Burger King at 2 am.
