music of the future
some recent explorations of 'fate in a pleasant mood' and 'holiday for
soul dance' led me to read about the unreleased album 'music of the
future'. from 'the earthly recordings' discography (thanks messrs.
campbell and trent!!!), i gathered:
Further confirmation of the common origin of many of these tracks is
provided by a Saturn test pressing found in a Montréal record store by
François Lamarche. The test pressing was made at Sheldon Recording
Studios (aka the Chess studios in Chicago) and titled simply, Music of
the Future by Sun Ra Arkestra. Side A contained "Space Mates," "But
Not for Me," and "The Others in There [sic] World." Side B had
"Lights on the [sic] Satellite," "Day by Day," "Ankhnaton," and
"Holiday for Strings." The pressing contains Alton Abraham's old
address at 4115 South Drexel -- and gives a Montréal address and phone
number for Sun Ra. It was therefore cut in the summer or early fall
of 1961. However, Saturn did not actually issue any LPs from this
session until 1965, and when they began to appear, the tracks had been
redistributed.
so the questions start...
does anyone have any further info about that test pressing? how many
of them were there? plain old white jacket? full color cover and
labels?
> Alton Abraham's old address at 4115 South Drexel
that would be for saturn research, right?
> gives a Montréal address and phone number for Sun Ra
i do get to montreal every so often. would anyone have that address
and phone number? it would certainly incentivize me to do a road trip
and look that up.
any help with those? thanks, ahead of time, for your replies!

music of the future
> so the questions start...
i found the answers.
if one has 'fate in a pleasant mood' and 'holiday for soul dance', it
is easy to reconstruct this 'test pressing':
Music of the Future
Side A
1. Space Mates (Ra) (on "Fate in a Pleasant Mood")
2. But Not for Me (Gershwin) (on "Holiday for Soul Dance")
3. The Others in There World (Ra) (on "Fate in a Pleasant Mood")
Side B
4. Lights on the Satellite (Ra) (on "Fate in a Pleasant Mood")
5. Day by Day (Cahn-Stordahl-Weston) (on "Holiday for Soul Dance")
6. Ankhnaton (Ra) (on "Fate in a Pleasant Mood")
7. Holiday for Strings (Rose-Gallo) (on "Holiday for Soul Dance")
Notes:
2, 5, and 7 ("But Not for Me", "Day by Day", and "Holiday for
Strings") are the first three songs on "Holiday for Soul Dance".
1, 3, 4, and 6 ("Space Mates", "The Others in There [sic] World",
"Lights on the [sic] Satellite", and "Ankhnaton") are all from "Fate
in a Pleasant Mood".
this makes for a very nice album - the 'best of' the two albums.

I must respectfully disagree, Ihor. I actually like Fate In A Pleasant
Mood quite a bit...Holiday For Soul Dance, on the other hand, has never
done much for me -- maybe I should go back to it someday...though, out
of the three albums presented on CD with fake stereo processing (or,
rather, the three I have found), Holiday probably bugs me the most.
Nonetheless, reading this has made me realize that I need to break down
and buy "Earthly Recordings" soon, as I never even knew about this test
pressing. Maybe I'll buy it as a Christmas present to myself.

Probably just one. May not have had a jacket, but if there was one, it was plain.
Right.
I don't know what it was.

Hi Susan,
I think I found something to help you. I went to Outerspaceways.info and clicked the FAQ tab at the top right of the page. The last topic (there are only 5) mentions how to disable the emails:
I want to participate on the web only, but I don't want to get copies of the posts in my email Can I do this?
Of course! Just go to the Mailing List Subscription
tab on your Profile page and select the "No Mail (temporarily disable
delivery)" option. This will keep you on the subscriber list (so that
people participating via email will still see your posts) but will keep
the mailing list from sending you messages from the forum.
Kind regards,
-john
