JSngry Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Is this going to be a limited window of availability? Or #? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 I assume limited #. Question is exactly how limited, i.e. should I preorder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 I think the print run is like 3,000. Somewhere around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Thanks. That's a pretty generous print run, larger than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be incredible, totally next level. I made one of my infrequent trips to Kingston today (for work) and heard that "the guy who put together the book" (Chris?) runs (owns?) a record shop there. Appropriately named Rocket Number Nine. I would have visited on general principles (though I no longer own a turntable or do vinyl), but the shop is closed Wednesdays. Never heard of the place until yesterday, but have long been a customer of the other nearby establishment (which fairly recently moved to Kingston). Now I'm definitely in for the book.

clifford_thornton Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Actually, the book was put together by the Hudson Valley Vinyl owner (Chris) down in Beacon, not the owner of Rocket Number Nine (Doug). Both shops are closed on Wednesdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Thanks. I had a feeling my source (clerk at another shop) might have been inaccurate. Still happy about the local connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted May 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Does anybody know what happened to Claude Dangerfield, who began doing artwork for Sun Ra as a teenager in the 1950s? John Szwed’s excellent Sun Ra bio doesn’t list Dangerfield in the index, while the Fantagraphics book mentions him several times, but only (as far as I can tell) in the context of the late 1950s/early 60s. I really like the covers he did, used and unused, for Saturn. On 3/22/2022 at 12:48 PM, clifford_thornton said: yes, my friend Chris is responsible for making this happen.

Niko Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Sun Ra's Chicago by William Sites mentions Dangerfield briefly but doesn't say anything about what happened to him... I just looked around a bit and came up with the following basic info: Claude Ruben Dangerfield, born 15 September 1931 as son of Claude Dangerfield Sr and Anna Gamble in Chicago. Married Barbara Joyce Cotledge on 8 December 1961 in Jackson, Mississippi. Died 6 November 1988 in Los Angeles. Final address 2118 West El Segundo Apt 6 in Gardena CA 90249, survived by his wife Barbara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Funny, book just arrived in the mail yesterday. Bought it for my son last Christmas, have been eyeing a copy for myself. Can't wait to spin through it this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
