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.

Remark:
The original 2015 reissue pressing of Rendez-Vous (with matrix/runout A0102416645-0101 15), was 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.
Sony Music subsequently issued a corrected master with matrix/runout A0102467490-0101 12 A00.
This is the corrected version. Released in a jewel case with 8 page colour booklet.
