Wayne Kramer was in London in June when the MC5 played with Social Distortion at Royal Festival Hall,
and we got together the Sunday afternoon before the gig at Wayne’s hotel, the City Inn, to have dinner and talk about Sun Ra for a forthcoming issue of HeadPress magazine. This episode features excerpts from the recording of our conversation and lots of music by Sun Ra & His Arkestra, including performances from the Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz Festivals in 1972 and 1973.
