The John Cage/Sun Ra collab on Folkways
Oh, do tell!
Hello, ....I thought this was on Folkways, but oops, it's on a label called Meltdown. Recorded live 6/8/86 on the Coney Island boardwalk, at the "last surviving freakshow, Sideshows by the Sea". Ra plays Yamaha DX-7, Cage does voice. I've never heard it. Some say it's great, some say it's not. Have any listers heard this? Hell, did any listers SEE this?
I bought a copy at an Arkestra show about 15 years ago, and was pretty disapointed with it. Ended up donating it to the college radio station that I was music director at at the time. Haven't hear it since, I imagine it's still in their archives, unplayed.
