Finally caved in and bought the recent Art Yard reissue of "omniverse" by Sun Ra.  Got it in the mail today [,,,]

Anyone know how this book compares to The Earthly Recordings of Sun Ra (2nd edition)?

[sidewinder]

Isn't the 'Earthly Recordings' more of a discography - whereas the 'Omniverse' book is a collection of essays, photos and pictures - about 300 pages total. Some details here - https://www.facebook.com/ArtYardRecords/

Looks like a beautiful book.  (And yes, Earthly Recordings is basically a discography, but a pretty serious one with 847 pages and 789 sessions listed!)

Just flicking through my copy of the 'Omniverse' tome, which has just arrived. A bigger book than I thought it would be page size wise - looks nicely done.

Spinning - Gil Evans 'Out of the Cool' (UK Impulse). These 70s reissues sound fine to my ears, although the vinyl can be on the thin side.

[clifford_thornton]

I had a copy of the Omniverse - sold it to a Ra-obsessed friend of mine and bought a record I wanted with the money. Felt good about the exchange.
