I just rented that last week and was thinking of posting about it. Lots of mambo and cha cha. All sounded kinda familiar and yet kinda generic. Probably came from old Tito Puente records but it could have been almost anyone from that period. (Gee I'm helpful aren't I?) Then there's this dream the main character keeps having and that's scored with old Hawaiian music. I actually wouldn't mind knowing who did that. But I didn't care enough to wait and look on the soundtrack. Then again, maybe the credits wouldn't have had subtitles. It's a strange film. (That's helpful too!) I might rent it again. I can't remember how it ends. If I do rent it again, I'll try to read the credits.

Its worth it for a definitive look at the US Garage Rock scene of the mid 60's which was its heydey. Some say that it all is merely regurgitated British Invasion, primarily of the Rolling Stones variety with the newest Sears gadgetry thrown in..Perhaps it was, but it was really the beginning of the DIY movement. As for storage, my policy on boxed sets of CD's is basically "fuck the packaging", its CD's not LP's (well worth preserving in plastic). Chop the thing up and put it into a handy dandy CD booklet and store the liner note booklet in your bookcase with your other Pop-Lit.

What they have in common is good remastering, digipaks with extensive notes in German and English (the latter excellent by Keith Chandler, the former by Werner Pieper would need a German reader to judge but look just as informatively dense), and around two dozen tracks apiece. The selections are a good balance of the well-known (but possibly not with an existing place in your home) and the wonderfully obscure. The theming is occasionally a little odd - some tracks clutch at subject staws, others simply seem to have simply jumped disc - but nobody's complaining. The fRoots listening panel came down heavily in favour of drugs, sex and rock'n'roll in that order - and in fact the numbering of the series seems to pretty much follow our placings as to desirability. To give you a taster, #1 has Lord Buckley's pal Harry The Hipster enquiring Who Put The Benzedrine In Mrs Murphy's Ovaltine? Blue Lu Barker's Don't Make Me High and Dick Justice's Cocaine (but wilfully misinterprets the title of Bukka White's Fixin' To Die unless I missed something all these years!); #2 includes The Hoosier Hot Shots' I Like Bananas Because They Have No Bones, Lonzo & Oscar's I'm My Own Granpa and the utterly bizarre Viennese Seven Singing Sisters' William Tell Overture; #3 kicks off with Alberta Hunter's You Can't Tell The Difference After Dark and goes via The Light Crust Doughboys' Pussy, Pussy, Pussy to Lucille Bogan's rightly infamous Shave 'Em Dry; #4 has as diverse blues as you can get, from Blind Willie Johnson via Mezz Mezzrow to the Ink Spots with Ella Fitzgerald; #5 is the glorious sound of gospel varieties - Golden Gate Quartet, Soul Stirrers, Sister Rosetta Tharpe - that'll thrill you even if your religion only runs as far as Vols 1 & 3. And then there's #6 which, although it includes favourites like the Golden Gate Quartet's Stalin' Wasn't Stallin', the Southern Sons Quartet's Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition and some heartfelt tracks by Leadbelly and the extraordinary Rev. J.M. Gates, is otherwise far too full of over-sincere ham-acted jingoist kack: useful if you need inducement to vomit but for little else apart from a view on true historical awfulness. Vols 1 & 2 are definitely indispensable and among the better and more entertaining re-issues of the year. Vols 3, 4 & 5 are pretty desirable too. You can probably skip Vol. 6 unless you're a set work perfectionist, a masochist or George W. Bush.

Dutch, >I suppose. > >Mo Lots of people know Arling & Cameron! Not as many people know them in the US but they've definitely had their 15 minutes in Europe. If you're interested in the history of easy, you should acquaint yourself with them. They started out as DJs, and started the Get Easy! parties in Amsterdam in the early 90s, which is what helped the resurgence of interest in easy music flourish across Europe. Loungecore anyone? Then they started the Drive-In label, produced a bunch of other artists music, (including a christmas single, I might ad, two songs by Juan Wells and Johnny Diamond) and then moved on to making their own music. They're also fairly popular in Japan (but then again, what isn't?) Cameron also continues to DJ with his wife Karin Ras who was also there from the beginning. Their US tour last year, they spun a lot of records, including their own. This year maybe they will perform some music? Don't know yet. The ALL-IN record, the LP before MFIF was also really good, though the only conceptual point of it was that "all-in" meant "all inclusive", because they felt that people had spent too much time pegging them as only interested in easy and lounge, while they wanted to show that people could have a good time to all kinds of music. You can always check out the EmperorNorton site for more. They have a link to the Drive-In site too.

I don't even keep the jewel cases of my CDs, just the booklets with the inlay card. There is a system with soft transparent covers where you can put the paper and the CD in; helps saving space a lot.

Mike's what you would call a character. Founder and singer in The Cannibals (1st single a yet to be bettered version of 'Nadine' IMHO), he also used to run IPS, who would manufacture LP's and sleeves as a whole package in the early 80's using Eastern Block pressing plants that needed foreign currency after the collapse of the Berlin Wall. He pressed up our first LP. I just have a picture of this Hungarian pressing plant, used to manufacturing the highest quality classical music on the highest quality vinyl, mastering and making terrible LP's by unknown UK acts. even Spenser called our LP 'Raw'. It was. He also manufactured the Pebbles boxed sets that were available late 80's. Quite a character, we lost an unexpected near hit on another tune as the turnaround time was 6 weeks and we couldn't get a second pressing sorted out. So we got professional. Should be entertaining. I imagine he'd be very difficult to work with for any period of time.

Many people on this list don't seem to be aware that there is a third (in my opinion, also the best) Arling & Cameron CD - it's called "Sound Shopping", and is on Basta - it's probably only available as a European import, but I believe Basta has it on their site for sale as well.

Unbelievable!!! Some of this music is finally seeing its first re-release in 80 years! I believe these two guys are from Germany and are experts at unearthing obscure songs. The Flashback series contains obscure and familiar songs from way back in the music world. I like the novelty one the best (Vol 2) but thats just my taste. These are all fantastic releases. A major event in the modern music world that I hope will influence future artistic releases. The distributor for Trikont shares the building with http://www.othermusic.com These releases are available for $13 at othermusic as is the 3-vol set of La Poloma covers, which I have ordered but not yet listened to. (Cleve, does this entitle me to membership in the knuckelheads club?) I was at the othermusic site yesterday listening to sound samples on real audio and I was astounded at how much good music is coming out today.

(and what should the LP be worth?) I guess that comes down to an indivdual's own preference. I know some people that are just happy to have the music - it does not matter if it is on a cheap tape with no track list. That's enough for them. I also know some people that pursue the original albums even though they has been reissued on CD. They accept no substitutes and will pay good money for them. Although I don't know any, I suppose there are some people that get rid of their vinyl originals once something get's put on CD. Ouch. I have both the Basta CD and the Columbia LP of "Delirium In Hi-Fi". I had the record first and it's a treasure. I'm not really sure why I bought the CD, probably to take it to work and listen. The original artwork on the CD is different and that's too bad. Otherwise, they are the same, no bonus tracks I don't think. What is the LP worth? I think I paid about $30 about 5 years ago. I've seen some people on ebay sneak in on ebay and get it for less than $10, I've also seen it go for more like $40 (which is probably about right) there too, depending on how it is advertised and who is selling it.

Eek! Hard to believe anybody into "exotica" could so easily dismiss this masterpiece recording. If I understand your post, you checked out a sample on CDNOW or some similar site? The grating male singer is Eden Ahbez. He wrote Nat King Coles "Nature Boy" and lived in the hills of Hollywood, eating nuts and berries. His is a fascinating story and I highly recommend hearing more of this truly amazing album before offically putting it on your shit list. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brian Phillips Subject: Re: (exotica) Andre Popp Date: 06 Dec 2000 08:30:53 -0500 >What is the LP worth?

Both the disk and the cover are in perfect shape. At 18 bucks it was a bit higher than I like to pay, but I figured the chances are slim to none that I'd ever see it again at any sort of reasonable price, so I grabbed it. I've seen it for sale at other stores in NY for $40-50 bucks, so It seemed like a good deal. It's my early xmas present to myself this year. Also found a copy of Denny's Exotic Percussion for the far more reasonable price of 7 bucks.

Date: 06 Dec 2000 21:28:19 Hello, I'm a new subscriber. I came to exotica (and ultimately, all the music I now listen to) via the 60's garage and psychedelic anthologies I collected as an adolescent in the 1980's. Thereupon started both present pattern of obsessive collecting, and my fascination with exotic/unusual sounds and music, though it would years before I stumbled into the weird in-between world of 50's/60's exotic listening. But once I did, it was an absolutely revelatory way of expanding my musical horizons (and record collection). The usual story, I guess. In retrospect, exotica seems only like a strange, but natural, extension of the 60's weirdness I'd dug in high school. Anyways, my internet searches for obscure record titles over the years have inevitably delivered me unto the exotica archives (which is THE best source of info for exotica), and I finally leapt up this morning and decided to join the mileau, or something. And am now preparing myself for the intense volley of verbal abuse I deserve for my run-on sentences.

Got a weird cool story about Eden Ahbez. My Grandmother was riding in my car with me a few months back so I thought I would throw on something, nice and easy so i threw on Eden Ahbez,when she enquired about who it was, I told her about him and a bit of his history, you know, livin' and eatin' berries behind the Hollywood H and all and she launched into a story about Eden whom she remembers meeting as a teenager (when she was 19 or so) in Palm Springs, which is where my grandmother grew up in the 40's, in a back yard of an rich banker. She said she and her friends would peek over the backyard fence to get a glimpse of "Nature Boy" as he was known as. she said she would sometimes see him around town, she said he wore a robe and had long hair, she doesnt remember a beard. She had no idea that he wrote the hit Nature Boy or that he was a song writer, she just thought he was some kook. My grams never ceases to amaze me, she also has great stories about Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and tons about William Powell who was a friend of the family. Man sometimes I think I was born a few decades too late. I would have loved to see "Nature Boy", Damn.

Very different from the first part (the 60's) which had a certain innocence that you couldn't help but be impressed by. Still, there were a number of good things which I haven't been able to identify yet but after this there were a lot more names and faces that I can now place - in the list of "to be avoided" that is!

There were two (count 'em!) appearances by Heino to complete the picture. All in all highly irritaining and worth watching if you're of the right mindset...

Worth" Subject: (exotica) 78 RPM Manifesto Date: 06 Dec 2000 22:05:01 -0800 A while back, I posted here asking for tips on transferring 78s to CD. A couple of people asked me to share what I found out when I got it all researched. Here's my report... I'm interested in the acoustics of old recordings. I've been disappointed with the quality of reproduced sound lately. The CD reissues of old 78s that I buy sound lifeless and dull, and modern orchestral recordings don't sound like acoustic instruments. They're all buzzy and shiney sounding like a synthesizer, even if they are acoustic instruments. I always assumed that older music on CD sounded flat because of the "primitive technology" they apologize for on the disclaimer on the back of the jewel cases. But I was getting so disgusted with unreal digital sound, I figured how bad can an original 78 be in comparison? So I rigged up a transcription table (Dual 1218) with a correct cartridge and equalizer to my computer to see what results I could come up with. I was amazed at how much better my transfers sounded than the comparable commercial CD releases. There was a clarity, presence and amazingly well-defined bass that I hadn't heard in old music before. My experiments burning CDs of 78s led me to wonder what the old acoustic phonographs sounded like. I bought a Victrola that was in good condition and rebuilt the original "sound box" using a kit. The first record I tried after the rebuild was Caruso singing an aria from Martha. It knocked me on the floor. The sound literally EXPLODED out of the machine. It was like being in the room with him. Before this, all the acoustic recordings I had heard on CD sounded tiny and distant, buried under a sea of surface noise. I'm trying to figure out just what it is that makes those CDs of old material sound so lifeless. I did some experimenting with my CD burner ripping and burning the same song ten times over to see if generation loss was coloring the sound somehow. (It wasn't.) I tried making CDs of records and comparing them to the original. (They were the same). I couldn't find what was ruining the sound so completely until I started experimenting with those programs that are designed to "de-noise" and "restore" the sound of old records. I've come to the conclusion that these are the culprets. I've have some experience in video post-production, and I know how bad digital processing can be for TV signals. I'm finding the same sorts of gross distortion and manipulation in audio that I see in video. Whenever these "de-cracklers" are used, they throw out a good part of the signal along with the noise, and make the music sound like it's behind a wall, or playing a mile away. Using the processing sparingly only results in "sparing" deterioration of the sound. I'm convinced now that the only way to get really good sound is to start with a nice clean record, EQ it properly, carefully hand edit out any clicks and pops, and leave any groove noise or crackle alone. For the life of me, I don't know why commercial CD releases aren't done like that. They are going out of their way to make the sound bad. More and more, I'm becoming a technological luddite. Whenever a new recording technology comes out, it seems that it does so at the expense of a previous technology that did things better. I know for sure that LPs sound a lot better than CDs, and 78s sound great too. My theory is that the big companies behind new technologies have a vested interest in trashing the older one. They put out all sorts of propaganda and pseudo scientific mumbo jumbo to make the old technology look bad, even when the older technology had higher quality reproduction. I've seen it recently in home video with DVDs vs. the older laserdisc format and it happened with CDs and LPs too. The only progress I've seen in sound reproduction since the introduction of stereo is compactness and convenience of the storage medium and machines. Sound reproduction hasn't noticeable improved at all. I sometimes wonder if CD companies don't deliberately make old stuff sound bad to discourage people from buying it over new stuff that they have more of a financial interest in. Given the dull sound of 78rpm era recordings on CD, I wouldn't doubt it. It's common in any collecting hobby to complain about crazy prices paid for stuff, but I can't see any reason to complain in collecting phonographs. The machines themselves are quite reasonably priced considering the age and quality of workmanship. The most amazing bargain is the records themselves though. I've been scooping up batches of records from the twenties through the fifties at ebay for fifty cents to a dollar apiece. It's turned out to be a gold mine of music that has never been released on LP or CD. Whenever I bought a CD collection of old music, half of it would be stuff I already had. Now, I'm getting batches of hundreds of 78s where every song is new to me. My main areas of interest musically are Polka, Accordion and Organ music, Country, Western Swing, Pop Vocals, Small Band Swing, Opera, Classical Novelty and 20's Dance Bands. It seems that my tastes are pretty well suited to what's readilly and cheaply available. The early blues and proto rock n' roll 78s that don't really interest me seem to be what fetch the high prices. This allows me to be able to afford to grab big hunks of music and sift through looking for the gems. Doing that with CDs would cost a fortune. In the exotica/lounge area, I've found great Les Baxter sides, Lenny Dee, Three Suns, Raymond Scott, and a pile of great lounge singers. The interesting thing is, the versions of the songs is usually different than the LP version. Every time a new technology like HiFi or Stereo came out, they trotted the artists back in the studios to make a new version. The CD collections usually include only the newest of these. I'm in trouble now, because I've got several THOUSAND 78's in cartons all over the place! I've been plowing through them cleaning them, putting them in fresh sleeves, transferring them to CD and packing them away, keeping a handful to play on my Victrola. But I haven't figured out what to do with the ones I'm finished with. They aren't worth anything... certainly not enough to go to all the trouble of trying to list them at ebay or send out for sale lists. I'm grouping them by style of music in boxes, and hopefully I'll find another collector in the same boat to swap them with. I just want to feed my obsession with hearing as much old music as I can. I'd be interested in finding other collectors who are doing what I am doing to trade CDs with. I'd be interested to find out their particular techniques for getting the best transfer, and to discover new areas of music I haven't been exposed to.

Sid and Marty want 10% of the profits of programme sales. Weird - And what the hell is HR Pufnstuf?? And I scored a record!

I also keep missing things on Ebay because the auctions always seem to finish at 4.00am UK time and some fucker always bids at the last minute. Anyway, I got the Billion Dollar Brain soundtrack which is Lalo-like but without any drums. Pretty cool, very soundtracky but not great. On its way is Return of the Incredible Bongo Band, Abrax vol 1 & 2 (some French groovy thing apparently) and Max et les Ferraileurs on CD because it was only a few dollars.

Well, at the end of the 70s Schlager was in its absolute historical down. I estimate, my own obscure combo Der Plan sold more records in 1980 than former superstars like Roy Black or Peter Alexander. However in the end the German New Wave triggered a Schlager revival, but that genre never recovered to its former creative uniqueness. The new genre that sort of monopolized the use of the German language in pop music was to become Hip Hop, believe it or not.

(I'm not attacking the messenger here Chuck, so please don't take offense.) I'm not going to say that none of the modern softpoppers were influenced by Nick Drake, even though I suspect that most people only heard him through CD reissues twenty years after the fact. But to trace a whole musical movement- or minimovement - back to him... PUH-LEEZE! Where would I, the scoffer, trace it back to? I wouldn't. But if I had to, I'd have to know how far back you want to go. The Andrews Sisters? The Mills Brothers? Bing Crosby? Or more recent? The Everly Brothers? You say the Velvet Underground. Someone else says the Fleetwoods. Do I hear the Beatles? Who influenced them? All ideas are worthy and now that I've calmed down, I can even hear Nick Drake in there but still, this DJ must have been twelve years old to be tracing it all the way back to Nick Drake...

It knocked me on the floor. The sound >literally EXPLODED out of the machine. If you've never had the experience of hearing a Victrola in person, it's worth going out of your way if you ever get the opportunity. The most startling thing is that it can be really LOUD! (Keep in mind this is completely mechanical/acoustic amplification, with no electricity involved.) But I have to give a slightly different interpretation of the whole idea that LPs and 78s sound better than CDs due to some fatal flaw in digital technology. When you listen to a recording through the horn of a Victrola, the response of the total record/play system is really peaky, and it covers a much narrower range of frequencies than modern recording technology. This is, in some technical sense, a distortion or coloration of the sound. However in the 78 era, this shaping of the sound was refined though trial and error until it evolved to a point where it was pleasant-sounding and musical--and was particularly favorable to certain tonal ranges including the range of the human voice. You could make an analogy and say the resonating wood body of a cello is in some sense distorting the "true" vibration of the strings--but it sure sounds nice. The fact that the high treble information is severely rolled off playing through a Victrola just serves to bring the voice and other lead instruments more into the foreground. With 50s/60s LPs there are still certain effects that come from the soft-saturation character of tube recording equipment, and from the inter-channel modulation in a stereo cartridge. And although the frequency response is wider than 78s there is still some roll-off of the highest and lowest frequencies. Still the system is particularly well optimized for the tonal ranges that are most important in music. In contrast, CDs have essentially zero distortion and perfect channel separation, and a frequency response which stays flat nearly to 20 kHz. So the reproduction is in some sense more accurate--although perhaps it may be "characterless" compared to older technology. The extra high frequencies do not ordinarily contain much pitched, harmonic musical sound, but instead more noiselike sounds like string scraping, singer spittle etc. To some extent these lend clarity and definition to the sound, but they can also become harsh and fatiguing. So it's a little like a photograph of someone where every pore and hair is in sharp focus--which is not necessarily the most flattering view of them, or the view that captures your emotional response towards them. However if you transfer an old recording to CD, in principle it should be possible to preserve all the colorations of the original that gave it character. To make another analogy, we all know that footage shot on video has a much harsher look than using silver-based film; however once something is put on film, that can be transferred to video while keeping its "filmlike" tonal character nearly intact. I'm not saying this will always be easy in practice! In the case of the Victrola, it may be necessary to go into an acoustically dead space and make a live recording, miking throat of the horn, in order to preserve all the unique signatures of that sound. >I couldn't find >what was ruining the sound so completely until I started >experimenting with those programs that are designed >to "de-noise" and "restore" the sound Interesting to hear your experiences--I've never trusted that stuff myself. Even using my full human brainpower, it's often a challenge to remove clicks manually without creating a thump or an audible dropout; how could software do it?

Frontiere is also an accordion virtuoso who made a decent accordion LP called Mr. Accordion (if that's your cup of tea). He also recorded a group of 20 accordions called "The Mighty Accordion Band". This record has an accordion-playing gorilla on the cover. It's really pretty awesome to hear 20 accordions all cooking to Caravan and other standards.

The main problem of transferring it was that the grooves were cut at an incredibly low volume level, so even when I turned the recorder volume level to the max it still wasn't enough to reach 0 db, so I had to do a copy of that copy in the end.

(AP) -- The curtain is closing for Up With People, but many cast members who toured the world to spread the group's musical message of peace and understanding remained hopeful it would someday rise from financial collapse. The nonprofit organization decided on Wednesday to shut down because of its $7.3 million debt. It lost $3.2 million in the fiscal year that ended in June and $860,000 in the previous year, when it was forced to dip into its endowment. ``This is one of the steps you have to take to make it to the next generation,'' said Scott Nelson of Denver, who toured with the group in Australia and New Zealand in 1985. The organization, which left open the possibility of a reorganization, will lay off its 262 employees in 10 offices around the world and sell its main building north of Denver. Nelson said Up With People was born out of a dream and not a business plan. He said part of the group's recent trouble might have been trying to appeal to too many types and ages of people. Up With People was founded in 1965 by Blanton and Betty Belk of Tucson, Ariz., who challenged a group of college students to find an upbeat message amid student unrest, the Vietnam War and racial strife. Up With People picked 700 young people each year to perform in a half-dozen different troupes that travel to a total of 20 countries. Each cast member paid $14,300. Troupes performed in junior high gymnasiums, carpet-covered ice rinks and European concert halls. They appeared before the pope, during Super Bowl halftime shows and at high football games. ``That's where our magic happened, in those small communities,'' said Tim Schuetz of Denver, who toured with the group in 1992. ``It's closing its doors at this point, but the legacy of the 20,000 alumni and hundreds of thousands of host families will live on,'' Nelson said. http://www.upwithpeople.org/ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ross Orr Subject: (exotica) More on CD vs. vinyl Date: 08 Dec 2000 10:44:02 -0500 I wanted to make one more point to defend the CD: A while back I transferred an obscure Martin Denny LP into my computer, and because the disk was in pristine shape I decided to go for broke and attempt to remove every single click and pop I could hear (manually drawing over the glitches in my sound editor program). This involved literally hours of time per track listening to the sound in obsessive detail. From previous experiences I was familiar with all the ills that vinyl can be prone to: Low frequency "whumping" sounds on each revolution, breakup on the high notes, off-center hole causing noticeable wow, etc. etc. Fortunately this LP was fine in those respects, and on casual listening you would have said that it barely had any clicks, either. However I would listen to 10-second chunks over and over again through headphones, and gradually, subliminally, I would realize that there sometimes would be a place where one side of my brain would flinch slightly--even though there was nothing overtly audible. Then zooming in to the highest magnification, I would discover some absolutely tiny little spike sticking out of the waveform. Once I drew over that glitch and listened again, it was rather amazing to me how much the sound seemed to have more of an "ease" and openness to it. Up to that point I would not have considered myself particularly ideological on the vinyl vs. CD question. But after that, I really became convinced that the absence of surface noise on a CD is something that people too often take for granted. It really does make a difference. cheers, --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan USA # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: alan zweig Subject: Re: (exotica) 78 RPM Manifesto Date: 08 Dec 2000 12:36:12 -0500 At 03:49 PM 12/8/00 +0100, Moritz R wrote: > >.

I don't believe the grooves were cut at a low volume level. A record from the 1920's is an acoustic record and therefore not made to be played on an electric machine or anything resembling your turntable. I'm not the expert on this. Everything I know on the subject comes from having interviewed the actual experts. But I know that people who regularly try to record 78's will for instance, have anywhere from a dozen to a hundred different needles, all with slight variations in width, in order to get the best possible sound from the various records they come across. To some degree I'm parroting Stephen's more researched post the other day but I have heard 78's absolutely come alive when played on the machines they were meant to be played on. The acoustic ones sound better on acoustic machines. And the electric on electric machines. And the electric ones sound better on the kind of - pre stereo - "record player" I had as a teenager than they do on your average stereo turntable UNLESS it's been overhauled specifically to play 78's. And even then, the crappy old tonearm and the flipover needle can make an old 78 sound great. And one more thing. Most of the 78's you find will be electric, not acoustic. Anyone want a bunch of 78's, I'm giving them away to a good home when I figure out how to send them.

He also did a the Spaghetti western soundtrack "Hang 'Em High" >(1968?) which is good but very close in sound to Morricone. Seek out this: "Love Eyes, The moods of Romance". It's a bit like that "Emotions" record by Richard Shore, if you're familiar with that (or even if you aren't.) They're both very early versions of the now familiar "music for films that weren't actually made" genre. And I recommend them both. Emotions is a bit more consistent and more overtly "powerful". Love Eyes is more eclectic. But it has the cooler cuts, even stuff that you'd have to call "crime jazz". In fact I've often used the cut "Sultry" in crime jazz compilations. And there's also the cut called "Beatnick". If I had absolutely clean copies of these, they'd make a great CDR two-fer. (Like I need another reason to be making CDR's. And by the way, the first round of "The CDR project" is almost finished. And with it, well over a thousand records have gone or are on their way out....)

My pal Don Vigeant has packaged-up a beautiful 2-CD compilation of funky-azz Christmas flotsam. It has little proper "Exotica" content, but I know there will be some here that will find it amusing. I can't get the Billy Squier xmas tune out of my head. (Yikes.) The Banjo version of Good King Winceslas (sp?) is a fave of mine, too. Don't let that scare ya, there's something there for everybody. He'd like to trade with interested parties.

"Kiddo" is a fantastic cut. I'd love to see the movie as it's sort of a 70's take on "Dr. Faustus" with Richard Burton as some sort of Lucifer character and Liz Taylor as a cocktail waitress. If I remember correctly, the back of the record shows some girls playing the drums for a band called "The Tits".

The form factor for an LP, in terms of size, does have an attractive advantage in some respects. OTOH - I've seen some very nice CD booklets which could hardly be represented as nicely within the context of an LP. -Kevin -- *********************************************************** * Kevin Crossman kevin@kevdo.com * * http://www.kevdo.com - The Narrow Interest Portal * * Lip Balm Anonymous, Ultimate Mai Tai, Exotica Archive * *********************************************************** # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: kendoll Subject: Re: (exotica) Grace your stereo pit with this!
