Odyssey to Oddity

Some interesting Odyssey oddities!

Odyssey Advert 1980

A UK music store advert showing a MkIII Odyssey with PPC and proclaiming that none other than ‘Chick Cores’ uses this instrument   The discounted ‘direct import’ price of £749 would be the equivalent of £2000 today.   Depending on the Model Odyssey, if you were lucky enough to find a good one, be prepared to pay anything up to £1200.

Original Odyssey Patches

The Oddity contains many of the classic Odyssey Patches that feature in both the Odyssey Manual and the fascinating book Learning Music With Synthesizers co-written by ARP Founders Alan R Pearlman and David Friend.

Odyssey Oddity Receipt

Our Odyssey receipt from 1977. The total price of this instrument was $1440 inc discount and was bought from Ed Schaeffer - The Music Man Colorado.  

By comparison, the Oddity is a killer deal with a retail price of around 10% of the original.
