From: CitiGuy471@aol.com Subject: (exotica) L'Ambiance de Republique and "The Graduate" Date: 01 Apr 1997 00:14:06 -0500 (EST) Okay, Mrs. Robinson is the 1968 remnant of Cocktail Nation. Dustin Hoffman is the "New" 1968 Revolutionary chasing the heiress by the pool and angsting his way through "The Graduate". But in 1997, America still lacks historical perspective as indicated by the writer who says "there is a whole new generation of people who doesn't really care any more about the 60's Generation Gap." Thirty years later it is still important to remember that 1968 was the Era of the Viet-Nam Draft--not that any X-ers EVER had to face it-- but it did destroy relationships between a couple of generations for many years--some X-ers appear to have yet to learn the value of this. So when you say no one cares anymore, remember....just because YOU may not care......and just because the passing of time itself has allowed a certain detached irony to be applied to SABPM and Lounge Music, the significance of the 6T's schism isn't REALLY lessened--just not recalled by some. To me not caring about the 60's Schism is like not caring about the music you assert yourself as caring about: It happened, it IS significant and you must honor it as well as SABPM. One is no less significant that the other...Jimmy Botticelli/got discharged from the Navy after claiming acid "flashbacks" and playing lounge music professionally # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CitiGuy471@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Re: exotica Digest V2 #190 Date: 01 Apr 1997 00:53:51 -0500 (EST) Need Help Leaving? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Shelby Cinca Subject: (exotica) Korla pandit Date: 01 Apr 1997 00:56:12 -0400 Ack!

I welcome those kinds of surprises. Very well said. I'm 40 years old. I got my first record player when I was two. The importance of music in my life is second only to my family and friends. When I was in my teens and 20s I was consantly trying to learn more about it. I attempted to learn piano. I studied theory. Started my LP collection. I lived it and breathed it. And the more my tastes developed, the more of a snob I became (I was almost excluisvely listening to jazz at that point). If the music you listened to wasn't cool, then neither were you. Gradually I realized that the enjoyment of music is a personal thing and at that point my tastes really opened up. The joy I get now from some of my favorites is one of life's greatest gifts, whether it's Coltrane's "A Love Supreme," "Come Softly To Me" by the Fleetwoods, Les Baxter's "Tropicando" or Future Sound Of London's "Dead Cities." All four can move me (albeit for different reasons). My only point is this; if Kenny G, or Garth Brooks or whoever can elicit the same feelings for someone else, who am I to disagree? While there's no need to discuss them on the exotica list, there's no need to put them down either.

I would have liked him instead to play the revoltingly obvious "Blue Martini" LP (with Plas Johnson) and to have railed against the evils of vodka. But it was a fine segment, as always on NPR/ATC. The sound driver for All Things Considered, BTW, likes Neil Young and helped me move my leopard couch in his VW Microbus -- a vital contribution to a SABP. Speaking of radio, here's Robert Mitchum ("Thunder Road") on WITH, stereo AM 1230, the station responsible for turning Baltimore on to rock and roll, which us led to Frank Zappa, David Byrne, and John Waters. Buddy Deane, the DJ whose TV dance parties were the setting in Waters' movie "Hairspray," recently returned to the station (joining equally popular successor Jack Gale), BUT: The station has just been bought by a 40-station Christian programming outfit.

I don't know what Footlight's overseas sales policy is, but they have quite a selection. I'm not sure if you meant above that you don't like 'lucertola' or haven't heard it.... but I just got a two-fer that's along the same vein of that one and 'verushka.' It has soundtracks to two horror films, "giornata nera per l'ariete" and "gli occhi freddi della paura." The first again features Edda del'Orso's spooky wordless vocals (one track has her breathing in short gasps throughout.. another has this very weird yearning breathy pout singing of almost words - at least i don't think they are real words, doesn't sound italian anyway) There's also a 70's lounge-like tune. The second soundtrack is all instrumental... lot's of nervous jazz (a little avant, a little crime/spy) and collages of sound effects electronic and otherwise.

His books, "Elevator Music" and "The Cocktail," are superb social histories, the former of a subject which, to my knowledge, has never been dealt with in a serious, yet accessible, text. Both books mix history, pop culture, high culture, and sociology in a really appealing way. And can that boy write! Lanza wrote the sidebars to the Esquire story that's received so much ink on this list, and his writing ability and original sensibility are on display there. I should also note that his most recent book, "The Cocktail," is just out on shelves in paperback form.

She became aware of worldly temptations (pot, mainly) and some egomania on her world tour. She became intractable in the convent and was kicked out. She landed in San Francisco where she went headfirst into the Sixties at their most concentrated. In the 70s, looking for work she hired herself out as a Nun-dominatrix (this is all true, btw) with the fetching name Sister Mary, Quite Contrary. Her clients included several members of the Bohemian Club (which despite its name, is an enclave of very rich, Republican power-brokers from around the country - though it's headquartered here in Northern California). She had a heroin addiction, for which she was busted. Eventually she got off the white horse, became enormously fat and moved back to Belgium where she died.

Because of that, I spend some of my free hours setting up "Lounge/Exotica" sections in CD stores across L.A. (mostly Tower) so that the CD's will have sections to go into instead of getting placed in the "Rock" or "Jazz" section. The problem arises as to which artists to include in these new "Lounge" sections. I have all the regulars figured out (Esquivel, Denny, Combustible, etc..) but there are these groups that I don't want to include because I haven't heard them and I don't know what they sound like. They include: "Blue Hawaiians", "Brave Combo" and others. There are groups that are in a EZ comp. series like, "Mr. Z" and "Billy Strange" that although may sound nice, aren't quite "Lounge". Lastly there are artists that straddle the fence like John Barry, Quincy Jones, etc.. that store owners refuse to believe have Lounge appeal. Anyway, if any of you have comments or suggestions as to what less known artists should definitely be included in the "Lounge" sections, then PLEASE let me know. When the manager of one of the stores asked me "Don't you think that Hendricks, Lambert & Ross should be in the Lounge section", I looked at him with a blank face. I don't know. I said I'd ask someone who had heard them. And that my friends,.. is you. Please e-mail me personally with any suggestions. Thanks.

The cancer is untreatable, and the poet has "four to 12" months to live, said his doctor, David Clain, of Beth Israel Medical Center, in a statement sent to Wired News Thursday morning. Ginsberg has had chronic hepatitis C for many years. The hepatitis developed into cirrhosis, diagnosed in 1988, but the poet's increasing fatigue and jaundice led to a biopsy last week, which revealed the cancer. "Though the prognosis is fatal, this kind of cancer is not usually characterized by pain," said Ginsberg's assistant, Bob Rosenthal. The 70-year-old poet will receive hospice care at his home in Manhattan until his death, Rosenthal says. Ginsberg learned of the diagnosis as he completed work on his next collection of poems, On Fame and Death. He is also working on his third collection of photographs. "Allen's weepy at times, but he's taking it like a good Buddhist. He spent the whole weekend writing poems," said Raymond Foye, a close friend of the poet. Rosenthal says that Ginsberg -- known for his boundless energy -- has been bedridden since his diagnosis, talking with old friends like Peter Orlovsky, the poet's lover for four decades, and his Buddhist teacher, Gelek Rinpoche. "When Allen wrote, 'America, I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel,'" newly appointed national poet laureate Robert Pinsky told Wired News, "he gave all of us who are 'queer' -- not necessarily sexually -- a lot to meditate on. In that one line, there's patriotism, determination to help, beauty, ornery resistance, and good humor. His death will be more than the end of an era, but the loss of someone who's capable of that kind of expression." "Howl" -- the subject of an obscenity trial in San Francisco in 1956 -- was a cultural watershed, opening the door to frank discussion of subjects like homosexuality, psychedelic experience, and Buddhism, previously off-limits to public discourse in the button-down '50s. Ginsberg became an icon of the counterculture at the moment of its birth, giving fiery readings that reclaimed poetry as a popular performing art, akin to jazz, from the dry textual analyses of the "New Criticism" then in academic vogue. Ginsberg's work has been cited as a seminal influence by such diverse cultural figures as Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Jerry Garcia, Vaclav Havel, John Cage, and the Clash, and the poet's work has inspired numerous unofficial Web sites. The past year has been a very productive one for Ginsberg. He published a volume of selected poems and a collaboration with artist Eric Drooker called Illuminated Poems. He also recorded a CD called The Ballad of the Skeletons, with Paul McCartney and Philip Glass. Plans for a broadcast of MTV's Unplugged featuring Ginsberg, McCartney, Dylan, and Beck "will probably be turned into a tribute," says Rosenthal. Ginsberg's father, Louis -- also a poet -- died of liver cancer in 1968. Though Ginsberg will receive a Buddhist funeral, a marker will be erected beside his father's grave in B'nai Israel Cemetery in Newark, N.J. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Hugh Petfield Subject: (exotica) Video tapes Date: 02 Apr 1997 18:32:43 +0100 Sorry if this is a tad off-subject, but do any of you exoticans know which sort of TV broadcasting system the Japanese use please?

As I've mentioned before, I'm a classical buyer for Tower, but of course I work in all the other sections as well, and I'm constantly finding things that should be in the lounge section and having debates with the manager about it. Heck, Yma was in the World section, under "South America" before I showed up! Also, I recently moved Clara Rockmore (theremin) from the classical bins to the lounge section. Now, technically that *is* a classical disc, but hey- it's *theremin* for chrissakes!! Just today a customer asked for Perez Prado. His Lounge bin was empty, but there were several things in his bin in the Latin section. And Les Baxter was in the jazz section- even the CDs that were *obviously* exotica-themed!

At the MP near my house, you're likely to find Yma Sumac in vocal, easy listening, international and Spanish (too big to be just part of international). Mambo stuff could, likewise, be anywhere. And what is actually in the easy listening section is in a magical order which still baffles me--that part, actually, is okay, because you do wind up finding a lot of other interesting stuff in your quest for a particular selection. They also carry very few individual artists. 95% of their lounge stock are recent comps, which again isn't necessarily bad, but sometimes you want a solid block of Martin Denny. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: garrow@webtv.net (Linda Highland) Subject: Re: (exotica) Video tapes Date: 04 Apr 1997 08:51:53 -0500 This is hardly a firm conclusion, but I think japanese video system is the same as ours because 1) I've bought japanese videos with no problem and 2) A Japanese internet pal sent me a video of her husband's band--and again, no prob.

The categories *should* reflect genre as it exists. If a store has room to further divide into subgenres, then I say they should do it. Now, a store like Tower Records or any other chain, no matter how good there stock is, employs 1 person who knows there stuff and a gaggle of Nirvana fans to do the rest. In that case, the reason is obvious. It doesn't, however, excuse bad binning, nore does it justify saying "who cares." If you care about music, and further, if you care about finding it so you can listen to it, you care about the store that labels it right and lets you find it quickly... It's not about pigeon-holing, it's about making connections and understanding style and genre. Pigeon-holing is when someone says, oh you're black? And you listen to Led Zeppelin?

(Except for Rockmore- she could only belong in the classical section.) But in terms of selling CDs in 1997, you simply have to put the stuff where the the bandwagoners are most likely to stumble onto it. Let's face it- those lounge sections were not made for people like us- we obviously *know* where all of this stuff is to be "properly" filed and found, whether it's in a corporate chain record store, a record swap, or a thrift store. No, the lounge section was made for people like the two blond sorority girls from SDSU that came up to the counter last night and bought several "Swingin' Bachelor Pad" or whatever-they're-called CDs from me. Sad to say it, but let's face it- if it weren't for the lounge fad and the associated lounge bins at mainstream record stores, all those Denny, Lyman, Sumac, Baxter et al albums never would have been issued on CD in the first place... -- Pea Hicks "Memory is my drug of choice." <---Realm 'O' The Optigan---> http://www.pilot.com/optigan Who will be the next to brave the *perils* of the VIRTUAL OPTIGAN??! # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: clean@bitstream.net Subject: Re: (exotica) Lose that file: Lounge/Exotica Date: 04 Apr 1997 15:06:00 -0600 by the way, my last post replying to Tony was meant to be read with a smidgen of sarcasm! visit... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ King Kini's C L U B V E L V E T http://www2.bitstream.net/~clean +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Laura Taylor Subject: RE: (exotica) Allen Ginsberg et. al Date: 04 Apr 1997 16:12:04 -0400 "It's just my nature to do weird stuff..."-Mr. Leslie Baxter Laura Taylor (813) 974-3733 ltaylor@wusf.usf.edu > > SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 1997--Wired News reports >today in an exclusive story that Allen Ginsberg, the author of the >groundbreaking 1955 poem "Howl," has been diagnosed with >hepatocellular carcinoma, cancer of the liver.

He's also not in the regular pop or easy listening. He's in a place called 'Oldies', with Melanie, Elvis and the Partridge Family. I don't know what my point is (I rarely do!) but it seems odd that 'Beyond the Sea' is in the same place as Bobby Sherman's "Seattle". Also odd, Acid jazz has its own section and think how much crossover is there. Even odder is the "Import" section. To check on the latest United Future Organization, you'd first check the regular Pop/Rock, then go to Acid jazz and finally in Imports find their new release. The worst is Latin music. At Tower North Beach, there's a salsa section, a Cuba section and a Mambo section. This would be OK if they stockkers were sharp as a tack but too often you find Celia Cruz with the Tejano music. Personally, I wish it were all just alphabetized within Pop, Classical, Soundtracks and Country.

Thank you all for writing to me personally re: the lounge sections in stores. It was very helpful. I'm still trying to reply to the rest. 2. I finally read the "Esquire" article last night and it got me to thinking. Something was mentioned in it about the folks who go the 9999's who wear their Perry Como sweaters or some such thing. And then there were the people who wore their Gap outfits. Surely, Randall wasn't talking about me. Well, being a fellow who is 6'4", I cannot possibly go to thrift stores and buy these cool vintage threads because every John and Mary that shop there snag the X-Large sizes first. This leaves me with the Gap. My question is does anyone know of any NEW clothes stores (perhaps a chain that's in Los Angeles) that will carry those Perry Como sweaters or Dean Martin wide collared Lounge attire? I'm used to looking like a horses shmengee at these retro shindigs, but maybe I don't have to after all. Please help with any leads for a guy who wouldn't mind dressing the part. Thank you in advance.

Categories are a crutch. The real old-time record store (opened in 1926) near my high school stocked them the old-fashioned way until they folded in the early 1980s: Alphabetically, by label, in numerical order by catalog number. If you didn't pack a Schwann catalog with you, you probably didn't belong there in the first place. On the other hand, you could also take the record and listen to it in a booth before you bought it. And they sold steel needles next to the cash register for something like a quarter each.

Date: 04 Apr 1997 22:39:51 -0500 (EST) I have a humorous story relating to A.G. that someone might find entertaining. Till last year, I was living in San Francisco &, as a baseball fan, went to a number of Giants games at the infamous (unjustly so) Candlestick Park. A couple years ago, at a night game (famous for cold, windy weather that only "true" fans would put up with), the pregame entertainment (which they sporadically attempted to amuse the fans with) was announced as being "the first in a series of Poetry at the Ball Park" presentations - this particular one featuring none other than Allen Ginsberg! Well, as I looked around at the less-than-amused faces of the sporadic crowd sitting around, Allen came out &, standing on the pitcher's mound, began a recitation that was hard to hear what he was saying but was very animated & noisy which made me think, based on the noises he used, that it was some sort of sarcastic anti-military poem, possibly related to "Operation Desert Massacre". Well, the "fans" didn't approve &, as he continued, they started booing him!! (booing Allen Ginsberg in San Francisco?). Well, not to be deterred & obviously having faced all kinds of intimidation worse than some annoyed baseball fans during his life, he became even more animated & enthusiastic, completely ignoring the booing (which had increased!). Finally, he finished & walked off the mound. But we we weren't done with him yet because, at game time, guess who walked out to the mound to throw out the ceremonial "first pitch"! Yep, Ol' Allen himself who proceeded to do a pretty nifty wind-up a fire a pretty darn good fast ball (not on a bounce) to the catcher - looking much better than most of the other assorted characters who usually perform the same feat! I do believe, however, that this was also the "last" in the series of "Poetry at the Ballpark" presentations. Each time I hear that we are losing another one of these amazing, legendary people, it is like a knife thrust. Who is going to replace them? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: vinyllives@earthlink.net (R.Preston Peek) Subject: Re: (exotica) Allen Ginsberg: Only in S.F.!

Like many a teen in the sixties, I coveted my little copy of Howl (not to mention Coney Island of the Mind and the works of other Ginsberg cronies). Who will replace him indeed.

"Brave Combo" is great, but not lounge -- Hispanic, Tejano, world music classifications would be closer. Secondly, if you haven't heard Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, you are in for a great big TREAT. I personally would put them under "Lounge" because they are vocalists who would probably appeal to those who like the lounge music -- they use very 50s-early 60s, hip-beatnikish, pre-Manhattan Transfer harmonies and anti-establishment lyrics.

I agree many Lounge people would like LH&R but they are an historical jazz group, not an obscurity from the Incredibly Strange Music books. The World knows LH&R. They expect them in either the jazz section or the vocalist section. This reminds me of the martini. Some people want to drink martinis (I think the word is fun to say) but don't like gin, so they make it with vodka. I'm sure it's a fine drink but it's not a martini. I know I sound like an old fart.

Seeing this post, I called to wish him a Happy Birthday and found out from the Kahuna of Exotica himself that his birthday is Thursday, April 10. Ashley is right when he says: > He is in great health and swims everydayand has got an amazing memory (all > the liner notes in the CD reissues were written by him) and still is as adept > on the piano as ever, having even recorded two tracks several months ago with > the fabulous Don Tiki Band. Not only that, he is very lucid, twinkle-eyed, and full of good humor and mischief. Mr. Denny still plays beautifully, but at 86 yrs old merely laughs and flashes that pearly white grin of his when I tell him we're taking the band on the road. I think he's happy being a studio musician at this phase. Would be happy to pass along any birthday wishes from the list (will print out and deliver)... he'd be thrilled, I'm sure!

Date: 06 Apr 1997 12:11:15 -0700 Hello people of Exotica! I'm Maurizio Mansueti and I'm delighted to call your kind attention to the ultimate spectra-sonic-pop band in Space Age Bachelor Pad Music from Rome, Italy: The Transistors! We are interested in getting in touch with you for interviews, demo tape or suggestions about publishers, labels, compilations, rarities and so on. The Transistors are also interested in contribution original tracks for serious compilation. A comprehensive material of our project "Swinging Italy" is available in our Internet Site. "Swinging Italy" includes: - "Viva Esquivel!" an original track dedicated to "El Maestro" Juan Garcia Esquivel and - "You never told me" cover version of the theme from the italian sixties movie "Fumo di Londra" (originally composed by Piero Piccioni and Alberto Sordi). Our web site includes material that can make the project known not only from a musical point of view, but also from an iconographic one (trend, graphics, look research and historical-musical references), and we are sure that it allows you to get to the bottom of the spirit of our project. So, come to visit our web site at this address: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/1966/ If you like our web site, feel free to add this address in your link page. I look forward to hearing from you, best wishes. CIAO! Maurizio Mansueti _________________________________________________________________________ For contacts: Maurizio Mansueti P.zza S.

This is quoted from an interview of AG by Steve Silberman. Allen Ginsberg: "It would be nice to be remembered as an ecstatic poet, or a poet whose work could inspire or elevate others' minds; or a poet who spread some sense of expansion of awareness, or expansive consciousness. It would be nice to be remembered for generous energy--patience and generosity in energetic thought. But that's sort of like a neurotic self-idealization....So maybe I'd like to be remembered as somebody who was curious about what it was like outside of his head!"

Several Towerites I asked just shrugged, until one day I, too, found him in Oldies. Strange and sad for one of the more swinging vocalists of the past three decades.

For years I had lamented the fact that I would probably never hear the only recordings ever made of Russolo's Intonarumori- then this great CD showed up!! Granted, the quality of those old 78s was really really awful, but it's interesting nonetheless. Not to mention the recordings of the re-constructed Intonarumori- although there should have been *alot* more of that on the disc! Also nice is the Kurt Schwitters stuff and Marinetti reciting his poetry- "Zang! Tumb! Tuum!!!"

Maybe not *those* albums, but Les Baxter's Greatest Hits, to take one example, is an old CD. You'd be surprised at how many 70s records (greatest hits, rare B sides, etc.) of the old stuff there are. That's a principal source of new records for me, in fact: '70s LPs re-releasing earlier recordings. For instance, here's a '70s Japanese remix of Perez Prado; it has stuff such as "La Macarena" (the bullfight song) and Hava Nagila in addition to Patricia, Mambo Jambo, and Mambos 5 and 8. And Yma Sumac was on CD in the '80s, no? And the '70s Capitol VA comp with Baxter/Tak Shindo/Riddle etc., called "Return to Paradise." I see a lot of [hardly young or trendy] people scooping up Yma Sumac records bc they've heard she is a legendary vocalist. Many of them are singers themselves; a torch singer I know performs nothing but Eartha Kitt songs, which is why she collects them. I've combed the stacks next to old men who come up asking, "got any Esquivel?"

I bet he didn't want to be known just as the composer of "Mothra" ;-) He even has a memorial hall in his birthplace: I'm not sure if he was influenced by Les or not. But it's likely that he (as most of Japanese at that time) didn't even know who Les Baxter was. Isn't it Les or Martin who was influenced by Japanese music? ;-) The South Pacific music was fairly popular among Japanese before, during, and after WWII. During the war, as jazz was banned as "enemy's music", Japanese jazz musicians (as well as those born in Hawaii and returned to Japan) survived by playing (or faking) "South Pacific music". So I think a lot of Japanese musicians and composers in his age have their own tinge of "exotica".

Ifukube's main influences actually come from the ancient music and language of the Ainu, the indiginous population of Japan that was more or less wiped out during colonization (sort of like the indiginous people of another country I know of...). In fact, a lot of the vocal parts of songs he writes are written in the Ainu tongue. Ifukube is best known for scoring Japanese films like MOTHA, and a ton of GODZILLA films, but he has also scored films by Akira Kurosawa, and did most of the scores for the Zato Ichi samurai films and tons more sci-fi stuff. He's also a fairly successful classical composer, although his classical pieces are still very unique. He's still alive, I think, and most recently did the score for GODZILLA VERSUS DESTROYER, which he says is his last film/Godzilla score (he also said that about GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA 1993). In any case, it's probably Ifukube who influenced Baxter and Denny, not the other way around. Incidentally, a few years ago I picked upa copy of the HISTORY OF MOTHRA CD, which has a ton of great music that would probably interest a lot of people on this list. It's a Japanese import and a wee bit difficult to find.

He also wrote a book that was for sale at the reception desk called "Christ was an Ad Man: A Witty & Wild Testament on How To Create the Miracle Ads". Quite a fun read and according to the flap, "... he worked his way from mail boy at Young & Rubicam to president of his own agency. He is reputed to have won more creative excellence awards than any other advertising talent in the western states... for Chevrolet, Folger's, Sierra Club, etc.... known for a variety of achievements including his long-playing album, "There's A Song In My Saw", which features Pritikin as America's Foremost Classical Saw Player".

This particular episode (from 1961) is called "The Legend Of Jim Riva," and guest stars Edward G.Robinson and Frank Sutton (Sgt. Carter from "Gomer Pyle"). Also on hand are Robert Taylor and future "Batman" Adam West. Ms Warner appears in two brief scenes as Eileen Clark, a rental car agent! The series originally ran from 1959-62 on ABC and NBC.

Doug, with all due respect, I picked up a vinyl copy for about $5....I know I live in Florida, where rekkids can be cheaper....but that vocal version of DREAMSVILLE(OOOooooooOOOOoooo0the heat of the forthcoming flames is so hot) devalues it by at least $5.

And almost everybody knows what a ra-rah cheerleader I am for Mr. Mancini.... ms. lucky lounge laura # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Johnston-Reading Subject: (exotica) Mancini Date: 08 Apr 1997 12:57:51 -0700 >I must stress that I am new to this music so forgive me if I strike you >as naiive. Anyway, one musician I think must be awesome is Henri >Mancini and I see now that Columbia House has a 3-CD set of him. Now, I>'ve only ever heard "Pink Panther", "Peter Gunn", and "Something for >Cat" I believe. Is the rest of his stuff as good as these songs? No need to apologize. In fact, you're a lucky guy. There are few things in life as wonderful as discovering great music, and Mancini is one of the masters. If the 3 CD set you're speaking of is "The days of Wine & Roses, " it's a great place to start. It's got a lot of the cool stuff from his first few albums as well as the best of his more MOR-oriented music (the hits). Excellent essay by Gene Lees, too. This should give you a good idea of which albums you'd want to seek out individually. Personal faves: Both Peter Gunn volumes, "Breakfast At Tiffany's," "Two For The Road," "Hatari," "Mr.Luck Goes Latin, "The Party," and "Symphonic Soul"(which unfortunately isn't represented on the box set).

I have only seen the "Wild Side..." as a white label promo. I've only seen 4 copies of it and there were all white label promo's including my own All copies including mine went for 85 bucks Then in 1977 on Citadel the entire soundtrack score was released called Touch of Evil that has the original album cover artwork as the 1st Challenge release and went out of print. Then a few years ago the CD was released that is the same as the Citadel release LESS that 1 bongo/conga beatnik piece only found on the Warner/Challenge LP "The Wild Side..." Cool, huh ?

Well, since a lot of people usually worked on various film series, I'm sure more than one composer contributed material to Mothra and her many appearances throughout the Godzilla series. Of course, the simplest way to find out ios for me to just pop the tape in the VCR and see, which I will do. By Koseki or Ifukube, it's still a wonderful score. You should also check out the music from KING KONG VERSUS GODZILLA, which has some great exotica-type tunes performed by the natives of Skull Island.

What I didn't know was that I was missing out on what is fast becoming my favorite record of the year. The album IMHO is incredible! Just incredible! I didn't hear any of that techno stuff either. I can't explain what this great music is, but it's a real trip. If you haven't gone out and gotten it yet, do yourself a favor. Pick this puppy up.

Date: 09 Apr 1997 18:25:38 -0400 Use two monitors... After reading about the Gunn... Number One! soundtrack (was that the Dreamsville song one?) I wondered... This ST is available in stereo, is it not? Were most soundtrack/scores RECORDED in stereo, or were they "stereo-ized" (What's a better term?)? I'm guessing that at the time, there really was no reason for a film score to be recorded in stereo, as most theaters wouldn't have stereo projectors or sound systems. When did stereo sound AT THE MOVIES become commonplace? And were many soundtracks actually "stereo-ized" because of this, once it was clear that the soundtrack could sell? Before that realization?

Date: 09 Apr 1997 15:52:00 PDT Regarding Ray's question and stereo, my understanding, and I am speaking purely from what I've heard from people I consider to be knowledgable (no books or anything), Walt Disney's Fantasia was the first stereo recording (not like in a lab as a test, but the first stereo record sold to the public). The record is a recording of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and on the flipside, I forget... Toccatta and Fugue, you know.

Koseki did compose the original Mothra score, and Ikufube did Godzilla vs. Mothra and all the other Mothra music for her appearances in later Godzilla films (although I don't know if he did the most recent Godzilla Vs Mothra remake). If you like Koseki and Ikufube, I suggest you seek out the special GODZILLA FANTASIA. It is scenes from a ton of old Toho monster movies with no dialogue, all orchestration. Very cool, and like I said, with a ton of great music people on this list might really be into. Has anyone heard any of Ikufube's non-movie work? I know you can pick it up in Japan, but I have never found an import source for it, even through catalogs. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: basic hip Subject: Re: (exotica) Holy Crap!!!

I wondered... >This ST is available in stereo, is it not? Yup. (and mono,too, which was phased out in '68) >Were most soundtrack/scores RECORDED in stereo, >or were they "stereo-ized" (What's a better term?)? After 1959, in the U.S. anyway, just about everything was recorded in stereo. If a mono OST was re-released in stereo, it was more often than not "Electronically Re-Processed For Stereo", an effect that different labels did in different ways, usually through equalization and adding of echo. (Capitol's weird "Duophonic" had seperate mono signals in each channel. Yikes!!) Many international features ST's were still recorded monophonically well into the 60's, and their stereo releases are "fake" (our beloved "Seven Golden Men" is one of those) >I'm guessing that at the time, there really was no reason for a film score >to be recorded in stereo, as most theaters wouldn't have stereo projectors >or sound systems. The OST records are different from the recordings used in the actual film, done on a different day in a different studio, often using different arrangements and musicians. A bizarre example is the soundtrack to "Thunderball". UA wanted the album out at least a month before the film, and John Barry hadn't even completed the score. That's why the LP contains no music from the last half of the film! >When did stereo sound AT THE MOVIES become commonplace? late 60's. The Cinerama films were always in some sort of stereo, especially the last few ("Grand Prix", "2001", "Ice Station Zebra"), but stereo in selected theaters became more commonplace in the 70's. >And were many soundtracks actually "stereo-ized" because of this, >once it was clear that the soundtrack could sell? Before that realization? Everything was "stereo-ized" in the early 60's, because it was clear that *stereo* could sell (the albums cost a buck more).

It was completely empty except for me and the owner. I spotted three records which looked like they would probably be worth buying - 2 by Lenny Dee for a couple of dollars each, and the 3 suns christmas record for about 5 dollars. Having picked them out and put them at the front, I was just about to check the condition when I thought I saw something good out of the corner of my eye. I went to check it, but it was nothing. When I looked back, some guy had come in and was buying the two Lenny Dee records. I was standing there thinking, 'that's odd', when he reached past me and got the 3 suns one too. Then he left the shop. Weird. Tall guy, pony tail. Was this you? I didn't mind too much - it was just odd, that's all. Has this kind of thing happened much to anyone else?

[Sounds of Love] Perhaps the favorite of all the muses was Erato, who sang of the passion and perfection of love. While other muses glorified the stars, history, poetry, drama, Erato's song was of a universal emotion experienced by man in delightful and agonizing degrees throughout his life...and although man can be adamantly devoted to history and the arts, love is the total involvement, bringing all his senses into play...touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound. What ARE the sounds of love? You've heard them before...a murmer...a laugh...a whisper in the dark...the voice of a kiss... a satin slither of skin-on-skin . . . little animal noises...now, hear this. Buddy Merrill lets his throaty guitar run through the night...creating, moulding, perfecting the mood of love with the pure romance of ballads...torch songs...love themes. Each arrangement is polished to flawlessness. The excitement of illicit "Love For Sale"...the subtle sexual rhythm of "A Man And A Woman"...a touch of dreamy sentiment with "Laura" and "Misty"...the over-whelming desire of "Temptation"... the very sequence of songs seduces and builds your mood to the ultimate climax of love.

There is no address for the label, no liner notes, just song listings and a few pictures. Some of it is standard sci-fi soundtrack music, but there are pop songs like "Green Slime" and "The Blob" (written by Burt Bacharach--I swear to god!--it has that Bacharach swing to it, too!). There is a song on it called Mothra, and I believe it is credited to Ifukube. Am I wrong? It is a beautiful, weird pop song sung by a woman in Japanese, and it's one of my favorite things on the record. I forked over $17 bucks for this thing--new--in the late '80s, and it was still totally worth it.

I believe it's published bi-annually and available at Tower records as well as other fine music chains. It contains more information than you'd believe. Thanks to that guide, I was able to track down some of the Japanese bootlegs like Sondi Sodsai's "Sondi", Enoch Light's "Spaced Out!" and Russ Garcia's "Fantastica" as well as three Bob Thompson LPs (not bootleg). It's pretty up-to-date so it may help with the recent "Lounge" releases.

No, thank YOU... Vik! Martin was thrilled to hear of the many Birthday wishes expressed by y'all.

Welll... I personally think that Walker's interpretations of Brel are a little sugery and Schmaltzy and second best to the great mans powerful renditions of his own songs. I find the way that Walker was often presented as an interpreter of Brel a bit sad as it took away from his real achievement which was his own songs, much better than his versions of Brel. He was of course very influenced by Walker in his writing even including character names from Brel songs in his own aside from the thematic similarities. >big digger...any other artist cover Walker numbahs?.

There was a super long drum performance by Buddy Rich in "Phantom Lady." (they dubbed him in over Elisha Cook, Jr. "playing"--he was "Wilmer" in "The Maltese Falcon and the guy working at the morgue with the hook hand in "Blacula"--now that's a career!) There are probably some others--I'm not so knowledgable on the subject. BTW, has anyone seen the 1980s made-for-tv Peter Gunn movie? I can't really call it a "Reunion" movie 'cause no one from the original cast is in it! :p Henry Mancini did the score (at least the movie book says so)--was it re-recorded, and was it traditionally jazzy, or did they mix in some synthesizers and funky guitars? And another thing--why did some copies of "More Music from Peter Gunn" have a red cover? Which came first? The blue one or the red one? Did they change it because the blue one looked too much like the original, or what? Enough questions!

True, the drum scene in Phantom Lady is cool, as is some of the singing in films like Roadhouse, but the best music in 1940s noir is in the few nightclub scenes in which vocal songbirds let go with a song. But, again, this isn't crime jazz as we know it, which doesn't get going until the 1950s.

Most folks would consider that to be the first *full* jazz score for a film, or at least the most influential. Previous to that, there were some jazzy bits by David Raskin in some late 40s film noir. I would say that it was MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM by E. Bernstein in the mid-50s that really caused a big stir and generated a lot of jazz scores in film. It was probably as important to film jazz scores as PETER GUNN was to TV jazz scores. TOUCH OF EVIL is usually considered Mancini's first complete, wholly-his-own filmscore. That said, there had been jazz bits used off and on since the post-war era. Usually what I would call "slutty girl sax" - but rarely a whole filmscore. All the Euro-emigres that helped found the American tradition in film music were of a decidedly symphonic bent. I'm sure there are exceptions, but those are my markers of the development of Crime Jazz. --David # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Darrell Brogdon Subject: (exotica) Crime jazz Date: 12 Apr 1997 01:56:13 -0700 Re the dicussion on early crime jazz, don't forget Tony Mottola's score for the early '50s TV series "Danger". I think it was the first TV soundtrack released on record - a 10" disc containing the "Danger" theme plus other music written for the show (see track listing below). I haven't listened to it in a while, but I think it safely falls into the crime jazz genre. "Danger" was on CBS from 1950-1955.

Dont think it quite qualifies as early crime jazz submission, but comes close. I vaguely recall reading somewhere the story was loosely based on Bix Biederbecke, but I'm unfamiliar with Bix's story. Kirk wanted to play his own jazz, not the dance band stuff that paid his rent but bored him to tears. He followed his muse, but then dumped a lovely Doris Day for an icily sexy and eventually bi-curious Lauren Bacall. Hoagy Carmichael has a big part as his after-hours jazz club pianist, but the kicker was seeing Julius Wechter's name listed in the Cinemania credit list as "Boy Drummer." I'll have to look for him next time. Score by Ray Heindorf, directed by Michael Curtiz, and Frank Cady (Sam Drucker) is there as a hotel clerk, but his denture-whistling is not yet evident.

Date: 12 Apr 1997 22:35:21 -0500 Fellow Listies, I'm slightly depressed. I listened to way too much bad music today. My day started off great: The "easy listening" bins were overflowing at the library basement sale, and I rushed home with a dozen tempting-looking LPs. But too many of them were just snorefests. I got a stong feeling that I was catching the backwash from some other exotica-hound out there. The disappointments included Al Nevins/Charles Albertine; Richard Hayman, David Carroll; Edmundo Ros+Ted Heath; and a Buick sampler with some RCA regulars including Dick Schory. There were a few other disks that were just, eh. . . I got an ABC reissue of some late Command stuff, where the tracks from _Dimension 3_ were fun--but that reissue packaging is just appalling. It all made me start to think that the End Times were at hand, exotica-wise. But really, the whole outing was redeemed by finding my *first* Ferrante and Teicher prepared piano LP, _Dynamic Twin Pianos_ ! Other people's descriptions hadn't prepared me for how wild this would be. Familiar yet unfamiliar tunes echo around in your head with demonic perkiness, as you plummet into a Lynchian time-tunnel abyss of anxiety and doubt! Works for me! The head-scratcher of the day was Dick Hyman's 1971 _Fantomfingers_, on Enoch Light's Project 3 label. Probably someone out there has been dying to find this, but I just didn't know what to make of this one. FF turns out NOT to be a nickname for Mr. Hyman, but instead some widget on the Baldwin organ that auto-repeats notes and makes little trilly arpeggios. Hyman and Tony Mottola do some actual swinging, but the liner notes make it seem like this LP is mostly about showing off this weird organ gizmo. Anyone out there know the story on this one? The whole thing ends with a 9-minute "freak out" with Hyman mashing on the FFs with heavy echo. It's unique.

Date: 13 Apr 1997 01:35:28 -0700 I just dug out this record I'd forgotten I'd had, and given the recent Star Wars media overkill, I thought I'd mention it here. It's called "Empire Jazz" and was produced by Ron Carter, with some fairly big name 1980 commercial jazz guys on it. The music is actually pretty lame for the most part- it's just boring, flatly produced jazz explorations on various John Williams Star Wars themes. "The Asteroid Field" is about the only cool thing, but only because if you remove the word "jazz" from your head, it basically sounds like a K-Mart Muzak bossa rendition. The cover painting redeems the entire album: picture Darth Vader lounging in a jazz club (*not* the cantina from Star Wars- this place has palm trees and neon lights) drinking an outer-space martini and watching a swingin' combo made up of Chewbacca on piano (!), C3PO on upright bass, a Stormtrooper on bari sax (!?!) and R2D2 on drums.

Nash's review: Easy listening music, with its gossamer strings, trickling keyboards and clattering claves, has traditionally been relegated to the peripheries of consciousness -- elevators, dentists' offices and supermarket aisles -- but Dylan Jones champions it as the "most critically neglected music in the world." "Ultra Lounge" is an upbeat guide to such giants in the field as Juan Garcia Esquivel, the Mexican composer of the inimitable "space-age bachelor pad music," the macaw-laden exotica of Martin Denny and the breathy "elevator noir" of Angelo Badalamenti (of "Twin Peaks" fame) and Brian Eno. Packaged in an attractive faux-lizard cover and lavished with images of life on the New Frontier, Mr. Jones's book, while not as scholarly as Joseph Lanza's "Elevator Music" (1994), is an affectionate look back at an era of American excess. -Ultra Lou # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ross Orr Subject: (exotica) What Next... Date: 13 Apr 1997 15:04:53 -0500 I guess I shouldn't be sounding like the voice of doom here. . . We shouldn't panic. I figure the supply of exotica LPs can't have totally dried up. I mean, not EVERY person who bought these groovy records in 1959 can have packed up to move to a condo/died/got sick of vinyl/etc.--those disks ought to be gradually coming out of the woodwork for at least another decade, right?

Not a classic beauty like Sandy Warner or the other women of 'exotica', but the cover of the LP has a pretty nice photo of Ms. Huebner with that wild brown hair and those 'seductive' eyes. I guess I just dig those crazy witch types. BUT, what the hell is that under her chin on the cover? I can't figure it out. Her outfit looks like some silvery sparkle deal... pretty cool. The LP is very unusual... well worth what I paid. Is Ms. Huebner still a public figure at all? pablito!

I've read that the buyer of Moog synthesizer #2, in 1966 was--Ray Scott. According to Bob Moog, interviewed in Grand Royal #3: " Raymond Scott was another story altogether. . . . [He] had a televison show at the time: _The Lucky Strike Hit Parade_. He was very wealthy, and when I first met him, had a four-story mansion on Long Island. His entire basement was a kind of playground for him with all this machinery. You could make anything out of wood, metal, or electronics. He had a recording studio that was as big as most people's houses. He had all sorts of mechanical sequencers made out of telephone relays. The guy was a very creative guy, but an absolute madman. He wasn't schooled as an engineer, he was a successful musician. He had the idea of A) building all this funny electronic and electro-mechanical stuff, and b) using it to make all kinds of sounds. Like Siday [Eric Siday, Moog customer #3], Raymond Scott got a lot of his stuff into radio and TV commercials, but he went much further out in experimenting and actually did pieces of music with all this equipmnet he built.

I also had a couple cool cover that didn't have the records in them. When the cashier saw these she asked if I had seen the box in the attic. It was a box of 80-100 record covers, some were set up specifically for displaying. Many were one sided with a foldout cardboard stand on the back so it can standup on a flat surface. Some had "DISPLAY COPY" stamped on the back. Some simply had "DISPLAY" hand-written on the back. Some were on much thicker cardboard than normal. The estate was of a guy who had owned a bar or 2 back in the 50s. I gave a couple bucks for the box without looking through it. Here's a sampling of what was inside: Si Zentner - Hign Noon Cha CHa Cha(bel Canto records sr1011) censored?

Date: 15 Apr 1997 13:08:25 -0400 (EDT) If you're looking for someone who is "well-known" in the "classical - limited" world, Aaron Copland might be a good choice. He's written very well-known pieces like "Appalachian Spring", "Billy the Kid" (both ballets) as well as music to several classic films such as "Our Town", "The Red Pony" & the original "Of Mice & Men", and a lot of lesser known & more "difficult" music. And he was an interesting person. Some of the music is sort of relevant to exotica in a way. Some other choices though lesser known could be Harry Partch, a true innovator, who built his own instruments which both sound & look incredible, or Henry Cowell or Lou Harrison - both of whom have done some strange stuff & also utilized exotic influences from other musical cultures. Harrison has done a bunch of stuff using non-western instruments such as the Balinese gamelan. He used to teach at San Jose State & I'm told that when you walked by his room, it always sounded & smelled like very weird things were going on inside! But famous? Go with Copland. Or Charles Ives was an interesting person, too. He not only didn't care whether his music was ever performed but went to extremes to make it more difficult to figure out. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: griffith@indigo.ie Subject: (exotica) Re Scott Walker's appearance Date: 15 Apr 1997 17:56:19 +0100 (BST) >love that mod hairstyle.

The first features performances by Shelly Manne and his Men, the other Shorty Rogers & his Giants - both hosted by the too-smooth Oscar Brown Jr. Stellar quality video (the notes claim the programs were duped from the archival film masters). The programs themselves are brilliantly directed - inventive camera angles and really sharp editing - which I found surpising for a show of this type (it was apparently syndicated - no network dollars behind em). Shanachi has a free catalogue which they boast includes "thousands of music related titles" (the video insert lists a few genres - R&B/Blues, old C&W performances, collections of Indian film music, etc.) If anyone's interested: Shanachie P.O.

It features 4 tracks from "Sudden Impact", 2 from "Dirty Harry", the theme to "Magnum Force" (all written by Lalo Schiffrin), and 3 cuts from "The Enforcer", written by Jerry Fielding. A fine record, it also features the "how many shots did he fire?" dialogue.

I'm doing a spot as a guest dj in a week or 2 and I've got this feeling that they are planning to interview me briefly about lounge/exotica/sabpm. I've been trying to think of a quick and easy definition to spout - but I always seem to leave something out. This whole area is so expansive! Can any of you think of a good way of describing it all? It has been really hard to pick only 2 hours worth of tunes from my collection. I'm narrowing it down a little bit by including in my mental definition the concept of exploitation ... be it exploiting different cultures or exploiting unusual instruments. Hmm, I'm not sure if this is quite right, but what I mean is that, for example, I'm not going to include any calypso material because it's sort of the real thing, y'know? Now, if it was some New Yorkers doing some dodgy hyped-up version of calypso - then I would feel I could include it. Am I doing right??? Today I'm sitting at work being driven insane - not so much by the usual boredom - but because I've got that tune that the UFO in Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind does in my head. It's my own fault - last night I was listening to my Space Hits album (which has some bad painting of Captain Kirk and Spock on the front - I wonder if this infringes copyright?) which has a disco version of the Close Encounters theme. Can you imagine it? Boy, those aliens sure know how to boogie. The record also has disco versions of the Star Wars theme (with heaps of peeow! peeow! sounds in it) and the Star Trek theme. Also has the Logan's Run theme. I'm torn up about which to include in the show, but I guess it should be Star Wars as the re-release of the movie has just hit cinemas here. (Also, the tune has a great cantina interlude). I used to love the Star Wars pinball - I loved the way that plastic figure of Darth Vader would wobble about on top of the machine while I was playing! Well, I'm rambling. I hope some of you can think how to explain exotica/sapbm in 2 minutes or less, allowing for time spent on nervous giggling.

[SABPM/Lounge/Exotica]? This, of course, is the age old question for this listserv and one I continually ask myself when deciding what to play on the air. It can't be jazz or pop in the overall sense, but it has elements of both. It is not world or folk music, but there are elements there, too. What I find fairly true throughout, however, is that recognizable parts from various genres are put together in unpredictable ways that create energy and excitement. I can easily find records that feature "percussion," "bongos," "organs," "harmonicas," or "wordless vocals" and be reasonably certain they meet the need. If they have titles like "The Third Man Theme," "Peter Gunn," "El Choclo," "Brazil," "Tico Tico," or "Caravan," I also would think they would "work." So what is it that makes them fit? I would think it would have to meet most if not all of these criteria: A. Rhythm. Straight 4-4 just doesn't seem to work. B. Tempo. Generally fast, although a slow ballad can work with an exceptionally sultry singer or combinations of unusual instruments. C. Unusual instruments and/or timbre. This means well-integrated into the piece, not an afterthought tacked on. D. Good use of hi-fi. This is what makes the unusual instruments work so well. Its the combination of different instrumental audio frequencies across the spectrum that make the music interesting. Of course, stereo makes it even more interesting. E. Some connection to a culture or society not included in the audience mainstream. This is an iffy point, but I think it may have some validity. I don't think it should be completely connected (otherwise its folk or world), but it should suggest some other life, some other location. In Mexico, for instance, Pat Boone may very well be considered in their "exotica." F. Humor. I have yet to go for any music that sounded entirely serious. G. And, dare I say it, suggestive? The roots of this kind of music, in my opinion, come from the culture of the 50's and early 60's and the individual need to break through the boring suburban existance and go wild and have fun. I'd love to hear challenges to my thoughts, additions, contradictions. I am always searching for the right answer to this question. Byron Caloz P.S. The Mr. Smooth Hour IS back in production.

Evidently it didn't do much for Jello Biafra's love life. It's one of the best records on everybody's wantlist, though, and certainly the only 7-song, 10" box with booklet promoting hi-fi I own.

Calypso is a perfect example of exotic pop, as is Cuban, Brazilian, Oriental (belly dance), and Hawaiian/Tahitian music, even Maori records. With calypso, choose the real thing or the commercialized, New York, whitebread version -- both happened side by side for decades. (And see my web site if you're really interested.) Non-exotic pop, or "Space-Age Bachelor Pad Music," includes Esquivel, Three Suns, Moog and electric organ records, and boxcars of stereo-demonstrating, instrumental records (accordian, percussion, harmonica, ukulele, harp, etc.). You also have jazz, which sometimes forgets itself and gets carried away with mood and standard melody. And stuff with strings. LPs from the years 1955-65 (closer to 1960 the better) are typical. Finally, there are all sorts of other things that seem to have been lumped in because of people's record-buying habits and age: haphazard CD compilations, CD reissues, cheesey lounge acts ("badsong"), ubiquitous thrift-store sludge (Ferrante and Teicher, 101 Strings), and early '70s nostalgia (James Bond STs, sitar, Beatles covers). Some of these are quite wonderful and I check out almost all, but just remember: the '60s have been reduced to the Grateful Dead, riki-tiki stickers, and bell-bottoms -- what an insult to the Fugs, Paul Krassner, and Philip K. Dick, and, uh, ratfink stickers. There are many, many truly astounding records in every idiom, some of which are really *out there.* (Unfortunately, there aren't so many copies floating around your local retail outlet; it takes research and hunting.) While humor's always a big plus, music doesn't have to be cutely *ironic,* available at Wal-Mart, or pounded out at a nightclub to be worth appreciating. Don't forget there also are a lot of people nobly trying to play old, melodic pop music live once again, and the best ones seem to do it fairly straight. tony ______________________________________________ The Wilds Scene http://www.charm.net/~wilds/ Tiki Gallery * Definitive EXOTICA * Sabu * LPs "This mayor has ruined everything.

It's free to get in, it's very mellow and it starts about 8.30 and you won't be asked to go back to the real world until around 12.30, unless you request the f**kin' Spice Girls. Featured records this week may include: the good bits of 'Logan's Run Soundtrack' by Jerry Goldsmith, and 'Action Plus' debut and maybe even another track from 'In the beginning God', though none of the rest of it can possibly come close to the 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' intro on a badly played trumpet and organ....

I just picked up this record called "Music of America" and it looks to me like an MSR-ish disc. It's on red vinyl & released by the "Star-Crest" recording corp of Hollywood, all the songs have different authors - the players are listed (only on the inside label) as "Tony Rogers", "Robert Ravis" & "The Tip-Tops". Has anyone ever heard of it, or "Star-Crest"? Goofy titles include: "Rock 'N Roll Babe", "The Old Jailor", "TV Birdie" and "Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms".

When I was a kid my mom gave me a portable tape recorder. As I was pretty young I used it until it broke. Luckily it could still play tapes but the rear panel was broken so the circuit board lay open. It ended up in the attic. When I got a bit older I picked it down from the attic again for some reason. I can't really say why, it may seem a bit strange, but I started to touch the circuit board while the tape was spinning. Now, depending on where on the board I touched, different noises came out of the speaker. Maybe "noise" isn't the best word to describe it, but since it was pretty random most people would probably call it just noise. I could get different pitches by pressing harder or softer on a soldering site. This made it really hard to play something tuned but it was pretty easy to play rhythms and to get sweeping sounds. On some sites the volume knob worked as a pitch shifter and on others the whole scale was really tight. Some even resulted in ticking sounds that could be modulated by the preassure. Of course it sounded electronic but it was not like a synthesizer or a theremin. It was much more uncontrolled, not only the way the sounds came about but the actual sound itself. I am sure it is possible to produce sounds like this on a fairly controllable synthesizer but I doubt that one could play it like this. I sort of liked the whole thing so when my parents where not at home (it was pretty loud) I played with it. I used to "play" with a phono plug instead of my fingers since it started to hurt. This because the pins of the components where quite sharp. Then I could add some effects such as distortion and delay which worked just fine. I ended up with hours of this stuff on tape that I actually still listen to once in a while. My question is if you have heard of anything like this anywhere else? I can't really recommend you to try it since it might be a bit dangerous if you touch the wrong site =:-|. I tried different electronic equipment such as radios etc., but I couldn't get the same out of it. The tape recorder I used was a Philips. Thanks a lot and have a million dollar weekend. mailto:mek3@cec.wustl.edu # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Pea Hicks Subject: Re: (exotica) Electronic Fingers Date: 17 Apr 1997 01:09:08 -0700 Marcus Kozica wrote: > When I got a bit older I picked it down from the attic > again for some reason.

Been quiet for a short while, but now I'm piping up about two things: i) broken 78s - someone said they snapped a Yma Sumac (I think) 78, just thought I'd say that if the break is a clean one, and you've got good eyesight, you might just be able to glue it back together! I've done this myself, using SuperGlue I think, then I played the resulting disc whilst wet (with water) with an oldish 78 stylus, and taped it. Surprising but true. Then again you could just get the Yma reissue. I lurve the bits where she starts to laugh and they leftem in. ii) Picked up for gbp2.00 last week an album on "Warner Brothers Workshop Series" from 1962 featuring Buddy Cole tootling away on a number of Hammonds. The music isn't that remarkable or interesting (to my ears anyhow) but the sleeve is, being a cool 3d type design, and the liner notes go on about a whole series of Warners Workshop albums. Does anyone have any info on these releases? iii) Can i make a quick recommendation - it's not especially new (came out in Jan I think) but it's worth getting - "Sacre Bleu" album by Dmitri From Paris. I think he's a French DJ. Features lots of cool samples and quasi-EZ-exotic tunes. He also plays "La Marseillaise" on a stylophone. cheers ears Phil phil-c@dircon.co.uk # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: BGlennii@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Back up for sale: "Delirium in Hi-Fi" CD!

This was clearly an attempt by Warner to compete with the Command/Mercury/etc. stereo showcase gatefold albums. I think there were only four put out. Shorty Rogers did one, probably his only jazz LP (except for his Reprise bossa nova album) for the next 20 years. The best of is Mel Henke's which is very similar in approach to Ray Martin's "The Sound of Sight": musical "cartoons" that depict in sound scenes and moods from westerns, private eye movies, etc. Henke's relies less on sound effects, but they're both choice pieces. I think the last of the four albums is a double piano recording by someone like Lee Evans.

Because of their high price for 45s, I had originally been tempted to buy $75 worth...but narrowed it down to the most unusual stuff and left behind a bunch of cardboard sleeved or boxed 45s. My mission seems to be...find obscure recordings I have never heard of but that have a "chance" of being interesting. These may have never achieved much recognition in their day, often came out on smaller labels and probably will never be reissued or even played by anyone...unless someone rescues them. Yes, I am the talent agent for scratchy old recordings. I found a copy of "The Sound of Musical Pictures" 1960 Medallion (Kapp) release ML-7501. Great concept, not quite exotica. Unfortunately, I didn't run across the stereo copy, so settled for mono (until I can get a stereo version). Medallion had great gatefold packaging with glossy coating. If you like cartoon music and/or wind band concerts and/or Leroy Anderson, then this is it! Here the music is accompanied by sound effects to tell a story. "The Midnight Fire Alarm," "The Whistler and His Dog," "A Hunt in the Black Forest," and "In the Clock Store" are some of the selections. Jackie Gleason presents "Tawny." Again, not exactly exotic (written by the man himself!) More orchestral this time, but still something for Leroy Anderson fans. I got this as a Capitol double 45 set. The cover is great: High heeled legs shot from toe to upper thigh with two roses on the ground next to the feet. Capitol EBF 471. Jackie Gleason presents "Lover's Rhapsody." A single 45 from Capitol EAP 1-366, music written by C. Dudley King. Great cover featuring a variety of poses by Jane Easton as photographed by Sid Avery and filtered in pink. Ms. Easton portrays expressions reflecting the music: "Desire," "Flirtation," "Temptation," and "Enchantment." Again, more orchestral pop. This is one of the few J.G. albums or recordings with a picture of the man (on the back cover looking very young). David Carroll and his orchestra "Percussion Parisienne." Mercury PPS 6008. One of the prizes in my small stack. Gatefold cover, well documented inside, great stereo, good vinyl, great cover (a high kicking fishnet stockinged woman multiplied by three across the bottom 2-3rds of the album cover and again on the back cover). The title says it all, although there are probably more strings than percussion. Harpist's Bazaar, Lloyd Lindroth "America's Swingin'est Harpist." A stereo record on the Michlind Productions label (probably only produced one recording, however its number is 7011). Some really interesting arrangements that features Mr. L: "Holiday for Strings," "Tequila," and "Granada." David Rose and HIS orchestra "21 Channel Sound" on MGM SE 4004. Good recording using, yes, 21 microphones but, alas, arriving on vinyl mixed down to 2 channels. Not the best performances, but still worthy of a listen... "Kiss of Fire" and "Caravan" among them with plenty of ho-hum tunes as well. Hugo Winterhalter Goes Hawaiian, RCA LSP-2417 marked "Living Stereo" but without the usual LS banner. A great picture of a woman on a beach, ostensibly sans clothing but covered up in strategic places by a lei and part of a grass skirt (?). The music itself isn't very exciting, but I had to at least try it out. Hawaiian War Chant is pretty good, but it IS a difficult tune to get wrong. Broadway ala Jack Carter on the AAMCO label ALPS 65... Stereo. Not really exotica, but it is pretty interesting. The cover features Mr. C kicking up his heels in broad daylight in front of the Flatiron building in downtown NYC: a very dynamic image! You could imagine what gawking New Yorkers might have said. The pigeons (which outnumbered the people within visual range) seemed nonplussed, however. Mr. C, you may know, is known as a comedian and television actor...usually playing character roles. I didn't know he sang, but he is pretty good. His style is reminiscent of Frank Sinatra with a lot of funny bits added. Good orchestra. The recording, too, is excellent. AAMCO must have released some other excellent recordings...they seem very serious about the craft of sound reproduction ("Now, for the first time, the finest recording engineers have been hired by AAMCO, to produce stereophonic music that is unbelieveable to the ears....") and the proof is in the pudding (or, in this case, vinyl). Overall, I'd have to rate this very highly. The only drawback was the split cover...but after all, this record is about as old as I am (perhaps even a bit older). 45: Lloyd Glenn and His Combo on Hollywood Records 1028. I got it primarilly for side B "Chica Boo" and the featured Bongo drummist Earl Burton. Actually that side and the flip "Old Time Shuffle" were pretty catchy but weren't exotica. Sounds very much like early Ross Bagdasarian. 45: Spike Jones and his City Slickers featuring the Bell Sisters. Actually, the Bell Sisters dominated with few of the usual Jonesian antics. Still, it was nice to get a Jones recording with selections I have yet to see on any of the many available compilations: "Socko The Smallest Snowball," and "Barnyard Christmas." LP: The Three Suns "At the Candlelight Cafe." RCA Camden CAL 513. As usual, TTS takes what could be pretty straight material and adds a twist that can't be refused. I suppose this material was available on RCA first, but then brought to the Camden budget label in 1959. So, was it on RCA first...and when? Okay, here's another question: what was the purpose behind many of RCAs labels: Vik, X, Camden, RCA Red Seal, RCA Gold Seal and, for lack of a better term, RCA black and RCA Blue. I can guess, but I can't be sure. 45 album on Decca 9-39: Ethel Smith "Souvenir Album" She performs the electric organ with the Bando Carioca in some interesting renditions of Tico Tico and others. 45: Ruth Wallis's Old Party Favorites W1-E.P. including "It's a Scream How Leveene Does the Rhumba." This was put out on Ms. Wallis's own label Wallis Original Record Corp., Linden, NJ. She is a GOOD singer. Don't know why I have never head of her or why she had to go on her own label, but I think it had to do with her material. She liked to sing about male-female sexual relations. Her stuff would be considered tame today, but back then I imagine the uptight Americans would want to burn her at the stake when she sang about how Leveene's wife wasn't satisfied in bed because Leveene used up all his energy doing the Rhumba. She had at least 7 LPs and/or extended play 45s of which this is one. I also got a very very battered copy of the original pressing of "Bwana a" by Arthur Lyman on HiFi and a fairly nice cover for Martin Denny's Hypnotique but without the vinyl (boo hoo!). I looked for the record itself, but it was nowhere! BTW, this has happened numerous times before, but I can't figure out why. I too often find great exotica LP covers without the records. What happened? Did the owner not like the cover (this I can't believe, often the cover is better than the music!). Or, did someone buy the record alone leaving the cover behind (again, who would, in their right mind, leave behind Sandy Warner). Yes, I could blame it on the people who don't keep their LPs straight or on the Goodwill workers who dump their vinyl carelessly into the bins, but WHY do these missing records belong to the best jackets and where did the missing records go to? This is a case for the New York Sock Exchange! Oh, I tried out lighter fluid for the first time today to remove a price sticker. Works wonders. Also, just got a 16 inch turntable which plays at all of the so-called 78 rpm speeds as well as 45 and 33.3 rpm (alas, no 16 rpm for my poetry records)...so if you have any transcription LPs to sell, let me know.

Anyway, there's this ad for a mailorder service called "Sex Supermarket" (eek!) and they have this record series for sale called Cities at Night. "Now hear all the secretly recorded sounds of the world's most thrilling cities! Hear the haggling with a prostitute over her fee...the hustles tried on tourists inside bars, resturaunts, and nightclubs, plus much more." There's about ten records in the series. Anyone ever run into one of these? The ad also mentions that the silent films they sell (like the classic "Dormitory Discipline") all come with a record that has the sound transcribed on it--has anyone ever found one of these little gems?

All were in really good vinyl condition. Mancini's soundtrack to "Hatari!", which includes "Baby Elephant Walk" , bringing to mind that great line from the Simpsons' "Dancing Homer" episode: "Ah, Mancini - - the mascot's best friend." Phyllis Diller's "Born To Sing," circa 1968 I would guess. Great cover of Phyllis in front of an ironing board in a messy cluttered basement that looks like an estate-sale fantasy. I've listened to one cut, she sings the Stones' "Satisfaction" in a rather Nico-like semi-frail voice before going back into character with a string of wisecracks as the song fades out. Suddenly It's the Hi-Los. I'd always wanted to own a Hi-Los album. Now I do. EROTICA, The Rhythms Of Love, from our friends at Fax Record Company... (FAXLP 1001.) Favorite quote from the back cover: " 'Will help some people understand why sex is as important as eating and sleeping' says a leading psychiatrist."

You'll still find Global Radio broadcasting "Retro Cocktail Hour" (a crime jazz special coming next week), Johan's "Fantastica" and the exotic concrete of "Misanthropy 511." Over in the Radio Vik Specials, we are still serving up a slice of the Big Island with the exotic sounds of Martin Denny and Don Tiki. The archives brings you a little trip lounge courtesy of Combustible Edison, Br. Cleve, Dimitri From Paris, Air and Tokyo's Coolest Combo. The real excitement for Vik is the expanded Featured Albums broadcast. We'll be featuring albums currently on the top of the stack at Casa Vik. We kick the whole thing off with the latest from those Crippled Dick Hot Wax hipsters, Beat at Cinecitta. Another swank slice of euro-sleaze this time with an Italian flavor. Move on to Further In Flight Entertainment - the latest from the Karminsky Experience. It EZ sounds with a world perspective. Still want more? Action Plus drop back in with improved sound.

The theme for this one: "Punishing Percussion." Do other people find making tapes as satisfying as I do? I feel like the work and time spent scrounging for cool vinyl all gets distilled down to this 90-minute high-octane essence. This is boringly geeky, but I thought perhaps a few people might be interested in the way I've been making tapes. . . it's a bit counter-intuitive. . . maybe some studio wizards out there can comment on whether the theory is sound. The main problem making tapes is that some LPs still sound pristine, some are trashed; some sound quite "bright," others murky; but I want to be able to mix songs thematically without worrying about all that. You folks have all heard that the best "Normal" tapes are just as good as the average Chrome tape? (according to _Audio_, _Consumer Reports_, etc.). I've also read that Normal tapes go into saturation more gracefully (e.g. sound better) when the signal pegs the meter. The main drawback to Normals is the greater hiss. Normal tape also plays back in any walkman or car stereo too--and I *love* Exotica as driving music! So I record on TDK D (Normal) tapes with NO Dolby, and let the tape hiss provide a bed of noise which masks the differences in surface noise between disks. Then I record with the levels pretty high, letting the meters peak out a bit--using the tape itself to provide a bit of compression. This brings up the average volume for all the tracks--but clips off all the vinyl pops, and the more extreme musical peaks (woodblocks etc) which are usually a bit distorted on old vinyl anyway. I swear that sometimes I prefer the tape sound to the original vinyl. The other thing I found is that tweaking the "Bias Fine" knob (on tapedecks that have one) while recording can alter the amount of treble on the tape (more bias --> less treble). So I can also do a little bit to brighten up a murky recording, and tone down one that's a little too harsh (especially if the LP is a bit worn). Well enough geekiness from me. . .

First of all, the comp tape is immensely satisfying, much more so than trying to bring your turntable along in the car. By the way, some cars from the 50's indeed had turntables in them. I've seen pictures, but never in real life and I have no idea which cars... As far as Normal vs. High Bias tape, the High Bias tape can hold more of a charge. That is, more magnetic particles are present on the tape to pick up the flux from your recording heads in your tape deck. For most tape decks, this doesn't matter, but it is partly why you have to pin the meters on the Normal tape to get a decent sound. The flip side of this is that High Bias tape can actually take a higher charge, so pinning the meters (what studio heads refer to as recording "hot") will actually produce an even richer sound on the High Bias tape. You should be careful not to really slam your record heads with too much signal. The term "hot" is rooted in the fact that you can overheat the record heads with too much signal and severely damage them. In addition, with too high a signal, you can get bleed to the other chanel (stereo separation is diminished). I usually use high bias tape and set the meters so I'm going a little to the + side on louder passages, and hovering at 0 db for the majority of the recording. Anyone else got opinions? Technical crud to shake out of the rug?

Really, the difference in richness and clarity of sound is remarkable. Without distorting the original recording, the equalizer gives tracks that extra "boost", thereby bringing out layers simply not heard otherwise. Also, having that "boost" means that you don't have to record "in the red zone" to get a rich, full sound on your tape. Finally, I like to use Maxell XLII-S tapes. They can carry a "full load" of sound, and last a long time.

There is one Hawaiian record on at least 6 labels, in at least 24 jackets, and attributed to at least 12 different artists. Learning the track titles is your only protection. >Also, are any of Crowns recordings good? Several Crown records are outstanding, if only because some musical idioms are exciting even in shabby imitation; also, some artists' worst demos and outtakes are very worthwhile. Some Crown jackets are good. "Music for Big Dame Hunters" has pin-up Irish McCallum.

Date: 22 Apr 1997 20:48:18 -0400 Who the hell is Chino Pozo? Chano Pozo is a famous percussionist, but Chino? The Wild Stereo Drums LP credits a "Chino Pozo" with playing bongos on Les Baxter's "Ting Ting Ting." (Also Chico Guerrero, playing conga on Ting Ting Ting, can be seen in the "Music of the Sixties" program.) I doubt it means anyone but Chano Pozo, but Chano was dead ten years earlier. What's up? Br Cleve, can you find out? From Nat Hentoff's liner notes to Cu-Bop! (see Sabu tribute at the Wilds Scene for full notes and details): "The first major influence on Sabu was the inflammatory Chano Pozo, the Cuban bongo and conga drummer who toured with the Dizzy Gillespie big band in 1948 and electrified musicians and audiences until he was cut down by a bullet that same year in a night club brawl. 'Chano, whom I knew very well,' Sabu remembers, 'was happy he was part of jazz and happy that he was the one to introduce into jazz the real jazz possibilities of his instruments.'" Sabu replaced Pozo immediately and went on to lead his own percussion teams when recording with Art Blakey on Blue Note in the '50s. Sabu's subsequent own career as virtuoso percussionist, composer, and orchestra leader is unparalleled in extreme talent, originality, and raw, wild, exotica. tony ______________________________________________ The Wilds Scene http://www.charm.net/~wilds/ LPs * Definitive EXOTICA * Sabu * Tiki Gallery "These songs, Tony, how can you do them like you doo wacka doo?" -- Judith Saylor # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Vernon Stoltz Subject: (exotica) Re: car turntables Date: 23 Apr 1997 01:14:27 GMT > By the way, some cars from the 50's indeed had turntables in them. > I've seen pictures, but never in real life and I have no idea which cars... The 1965 Montgomery Wards Spring Catalog has advertised a 45 rpm record player for the automobile. The brandname is "Wards Riverside" and there is a nice color picture of this chrome-plated wonder. Price was only $69.95 At first I thought this only be suitable for playing while the car was stopped, i.e. if you were partying in some isolated farmer's field and wanted to play DJ and spin some records off the car's sound system. Then I read the description and it says "designed to play smoothly even through bumps and sharp stops . .also adaptable to boats. Changes up to 12 records automatically. Has push button switch for rejecting records" The same catalog page also features a similar player, only for 4-track tapes. (a predecessor of the 8-track tape) This was higher priced at $119.00 (of course, some Mancini and 3 Suns tape cartridges are available for only $5.45 each) Vern # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Stilgloria@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Taping Tech Date: 22 Apr 1997 22:44:44 -0400 (EDT) I LOVE making theme tapes.

So, i'm not alone, after all! I've already done a little trading with some of you fine people. Yes, i find it satisfying too, although i usually end up giving them away - but only to people I sense will "get it". I generally do not make theme tapes, but tend to just put on a "show". I've been meaning to get a mixing board so i can have a seamless transition from one selection to the next or mix things together. Johan's "Fantastica" shows (which he offers for trade) are outstanding examples of this mixing technique. For instance, he plays "Je Taime...Moi Non Plus", covered by The Electronic Concept Orchestra and overlays this French spoken word piece over it. The spoken word part is recorded at a sloooooooowwwww speed and the result is brilliant. Speaking of manipulating the speed, i often will play or record a 33 record at 45. I discovered it by accident. my turntable was set to 45 and i put on a Ferrante and Teicher record - great fun, indeed - try it sometime. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Bruce D.

I have never found anything in record bins in Philly thrifts (I've lived here almost two years). They are picked bone dry, most likely before the stuff hits the shelf. There are a couple decent dealers, but expect your typical vinyl store prices. I'm sure New York City thrifts are just as bad. There are SO MANY scavengers and dealers in NYC.

Expecting stuff from thrifts and fleas is to defy the beauty of randomness -- itself a defiance of meaning and order. I've found some of my best records at NYC fleas. There's a Cubano dealer with the most Fiesta and Tico I ever saw. A guy from Long Island had Moog Indigo and dozens of Klaus Wunderlich. Not to mention good NY record shows. As for Bleeker Bobs, stores rarely send out buyers; they can kick back like overfed whales and turn down all but the choicest plankton. Pennsylvania, apart from Philly thrifts, has the greatest concentration of old records in the world; second is California. You may not find the acorns still in the tree, but most of them haven't rolled too far from it.

However even the cheapest Metal tapes are substantially better than any Chrome tape, if you're recording from CD, etc. As I mentioned, the Normal tape has a louder hiss floor, but I LIKE that. . .

I can tell you that I've found some really nice Hawaiian shirts and stuff in NY, it wasn't cleaned out at all. It is hard for me to say, but come to the "swingin'" (kidding) Midwest, The Vintage store owners are too lazy to go thriftin' they just goes wholesaling from what I know (not all of cource.) After all isn't this part of the AWESOME fun; nothing, nothing, nothing, ohooooohhhoooooohohooooooo. I have a growing batch of pieces of the Yellow Pages, listing thrifters around the states. Isn't it is time for a web page where you can submit stores and info and cool finds?? > All it takes is one or two Bleeker Bobs > to clean out every flea market in the city. Hey, you should make a t-shirt out of that. I'll buy one (for a resonable price, ;-)))) He tried to sell me his Disney motive HW-shirt, I didn't even ask for the price. I've been wondering what nice HW shirts labels there are. All I have is, "Fashioned by Hukilau Fashions", "Barefoot in Paradise", "Duke Kahanamoku"!!!!!!, "Fashioned by Barefoot Trader", "Island Casuals (Int'l Market Place)".

I went to my niece's wedding there two years ago, and checked out a few of the used record stores. One actually had a big back room of vinyl with a couple turntables to listen before you bought, something you don't see in San Francisco - but the prices were not dirt cheap. Due to limited time, all i got was Gleason's "Riff Jazz" and something by Len Rawle (who?) at the Mighty Wurlitzer playing "The Sounds of Tonawanda", my home town. And haunting the same thrifts too often gets tedious and frustrating, but once in a while it's ok to drop in. Did just that and found Cugat's Greatest Hits with all the pics of Abbe Lane in a slinky red dress and "Christmas with Chet Atkins."
