My 'mentor' must have been my older cousin.
Back in the mid 1970s he was the only person I knew who had a seperates system. In an era of radiograms and music centres he had a turntable, amp and speakers system.
As a kid I remember laughing at all of the unnecessary complexity that entailed. My cousin was a maths graduate and that was quite daunting back then, so I didn't question him too much.
And then there were all of his strange LPs.
One had a picture on a wall featuring an old man with a cane carrying some sticks on his back and another had a painting of a singer (?) wearing shades facing left on the front and an indecipherable scrawl/sketch on its back.
Truly great times.
