This looks interesting. If I was in London I'd certainly be going to Café Oto on Jan 7

You can even become a life member of OTO for just £10.000 yes just £10K

Frankly, I think the use of Quad 57s are wasted on the likes of Sun Ra - certainly with the speakers arranged as shown the photograph. Having 4 stacks of 4 Quad 57s is unlikely to improve matters.

However I would be interested to know how well the Decca cartridges cope.

Why’s that then ?

[Barry]

Having heard several Sun Ra recordings, they obviously sound better when replayed on speakers from Sun Ra's home planet of Saturn.

Hilarious

Ive heard just about all his albums & if i remember i only like two from the early 70's.. Dunno if hes still with us but he was a really old bloke last i knew..

[Barry]

He died in 1993 from pneumonia.

But actually he returned to his home planet of Saturn, where the average expectation of life is 750 years.

He recorded over 100 albums.

[WESTLOWER]

He’s no longer on this planet
I appreciate you probably have heard a fair bit but I very much doubt you have heard anywhere near All of his released material. There are so many it’s frightening
Loads have never been reissued on any format and are as rare as hen’s!
His music started way back in the early 50’s through to doo-wop and on to the material most associate him with. An incredible individual.

Barry beat me to it. Yes well over 100 lps countless 10 inch and 7s
Most of it private press
