Subject: (exotica) TV shows - thanks.
Date: 01 Dec 1996 19:51:35 GMT

Many thanks to all the good people who responded to
my query about Storefront Lawyers and Bracken's World.
25 years I've been labouring under the misapprehension
that they were respectively
1) a Western series and
2) something like Oprah.
I wasn't even CLOSE!

Moving on to a more Exotica question, anyone heard of
an orchestra called The Carlini Strings please?  I just
paid 75c for an excellent LP with hits of 1969 done a
bit like 101 strings would.

Happy thanksgiving, by the way.

Hugh.

"does anyone knows where to get this new German issue:

Hi Johan, ( How's the Moules?)

I like the 10" record and the LP as well. It's kind of German Star Trek 70's
groovy Easy-Listening big band.

Bungalow is in Berlin, If you call them they should be able to tell you who
their distributor is in your area.

I think I avoided Sergio mendes and Brasil '66 ('77) etc for a long
time simply because, and I know this shouldn't be a reason,
of the common availability of their records.  There is so much
good stuff of theirs...  and easily available...

writing as I listen to "Equinox" with sitar solo on the first track.
what fun.

and edited like crazy with tape speed shifts, multitracking, etc. Recorded in
the late 1950s. Definitely wild. What else did they release?

What a terrific record!!!  Weird but beautiful, ain't it?  I was just
playing this yesterday - sultry vocals echoing over those crazy
manipulated sounds, like a cartoon band using makeshift instruments
and post-produced on Mars - and all the time conjuring up Norman
Rockwell images of kids sitting on a hot southern porch drinking
lemonade and listening to the radio.

I've been trying to find this out myself, and as far as I can tell this
was the only album, although there is a list of other stuff that
Guglielmi did on the back of that record.
It's one of my favorites! "It's So Peaceful In The Country" spooks me
out everytime- especially because my copy is terribly scratched. Makes
it sound even more distant and vague.

Seasons Greetings...

Sorry if this is a repeat, I'm not sure my first post got through.

This weekend, I tried to get into the swing of the season by picking up some
Xmas music.
I usually prefer vinyl - it's cheaper, especially when you listen to it once
a year.
But I had to pick up the highly acclaimed Esquivel "Merry Christmas From The
Space Age
Bachelor Pad".  So I went to the CD store and plunked down my 15.99.  Did
not even
bother to look at the track listings on the back - after all this is the
maestro,
Esquivel - his first CD changed my life!!  It made Rolling Stone's
"alternative" top ten list.  I grabbed it and headed for the register.

Well, you know where I'm headed, don't you?  Folks, it ain't that good.  In
fact, I see it as yet another (high priced) cash in on the "lounge" trend -
and not a very good one.

1)  It's BARELY twenty five minutes in length.  Neither the complete running
time or the
individual track times are shown.
2)  Tracks 1 and 12 are not Esquivel at all except for some corny narration.
It's actually Br. Cleve and his Lush Orchestra.  You won't know this until
AFTER you break the seal - no mention of this on the exposed packaging.
3)  Track 7, "Snowfall" is already on the More Of Other Worlds, Other Sounds CD.
4)  Tracks 4 and 8 "Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers" and "Sun Valley Ski Run"
are from the
LP Strings Aflame.  All three of these tracks are not classic Xmas tunes at
all, they just have
wintery titles.

So, out of the twelve tracks, only half are what i expected - about twelve
minutes worth.  A big disappoinment and not recommended.  I took it back and
exchanged it for the Fritz the Cat / Heavy Traffic two-fer, a much better buy.

Bah Hum Bug!

Date: 03 Dec 1996 11:58:20 -0400

Esquivel's "Merry Xmas from the Space-Age Bachelor Pad" album includes the
cut "Sun Valley Ski Run", originally on the "Strings Aflame" LP.  It's a
cheerful little number that suggests the Leroy Anderson style, though as far
as I know it's not by him.

Unfortunately the "Merry Xmas" album includes no songwriter credits (a
serious omission -- to use "White Christmas" without crediting Irving Berlin
brings shame upon the very concept of Space-Age Bachelor Padditude.)  Does
anyone know who wrote "Sun Valley Ski Run"?

Dear Kimberly,

Season's Greetings!  Thanks for mentioning this.  I totally agree with
you.  I'm really disappointed by this compilation and is on my way to
the store to return it.

It would be more sensible if they had priced it at $6.99 or $9.99 or
something.  Even at that price range, there is simply not enough musical
value to retain it in one's collection!

This is the second or third time I'm disappointed by an album
sensationalized on the list.  Won't believe everything they say anymore!

Best wishes,

Anthony

Dear Mr. Bug --

I firmly believe in everyone's right to his or her own opinion, but I had
to post a quick note to defend Mr. E's latest -- just having the 4-decades
old tracks dusted-off and available (in sparkling stereo) is worth it for
me.  True, it weighs in at less than half an hour, but the tunes are so
much fun I'd swear the disc was twice that long.  Hats off to br cleve for
the resurrection AND the restoration.

Preston

I agree with Preston.  While I could do without the corny narration at the
CD's beginning, but there are enough new tracks on here to make this a
worthwhile effort.  "Frosty the Snowman" itself is priceless!

Actually, Johan, his last CD was a Christmas CD which High Plains Public
Radio got just a couple of weeks ago.  "Tiny Tim's Christmas" I believe.
And what packaging!  There are strands of red, silver and green tinsel
sandwiched between the clear plastic sections of the box (instead of just
the normal paper).  I haven't played it yet.

Subject: (exotica) McKuen joins the compilation race
Date: 03 Dec 1996 13:57:47 -0800


     Three (3)things:

     1. I'm not sure if any of you have mentioned it yet, but, Rod McKuen
     has produced about 9 "Bachelor Pad" compilations with names such as
     "Martinis, Bikinis & Memories" and "Bachelor's Little Black Book" on
     the Laserlight label. Apparently, the reason he is producer of these
     is because about a third of the songs were written by him. This leads
     me to the question, "Are any of these compilations any good?". I know
     that they're only $5.99 but I bought one called "How Big Is Your
     Woofer" which is supposed to test your stereo equipment but turned out
     to be a dud.

     2. Because McKuen has issued these compilations, he has also reissued
     a couple of his own albums that look like they're early 70's go-go
     stuff. Is McKuen any good? Any albums worth buying?

     3. In defense of "Merry Christmas From The Space Age Bachelor Pad", I
     DO recommend it. If you are unable to get all of the Esquivel albums,
     this comes as a nice surprise. I've been searching FOREVER for
     "Merriest Of Christmas Pops" and have never found it NOR seen a
     picture of it. Thanks to that CD, I can have extremely rare Esquivel
     that has never been out on CD and I can hear what the hell Esquivel
     actually sounds like. Thumbs up to Bar None (except for not including
     a photo of the album Merriest Of Xmas Pops)

     Th-th-th-that's all.

     Doug

well, the nightmare of Vik's network change continues (compounded by the

currently not updated. the updated Vik's can be found in its temporary home
at:

within a week or two, the chaoskitty.com address will run off this address

Vik has decided to give his friends the chance to get a sneak peak at an

it for a drive...see if you know someplace not listed in the results...and
let Vik know that URL. The Compass is updated weekly and Vik will see to it
the missing URL O' Swank is added. Have a suggestion for a feature you'd
like added? If Vik can convince the Holy Helens, it shall be done.

I wouldn't say *extremely* rare. Part of the problem may be that Xmas LPs
tend to get segregated and overlooked automatically.

It's nothing to look at. I'll toss it up on a temporary web page sometime
soon. The real attraction of the LP is Mimi Hines' singing, which will have
you begging for Dora Hall, Mrs. Miller, or Heino in an instant. The Ames
Brothers with Esquivel LP is better fare, but less seasonal.

Go-go McKuen sounds real interesting.  The only records of his I've
heard are two found in thrift bins (I don't think either is hard to
come by).  One is lame beat poetry with base and bongos called 'Life
Is' which I like quite a lot (there's a sample at
http://www.radix.net/~xanadu/baby/baby4.html ).  The other is an
instrumental suite called 'Something Beyond' which makes liberal use
of an ondioline.  I've grown to like this over repeated listenings.
Kind of a strange mood piece, never quite sure what mood I'm supposed
to be in though.  It's an acquired bad taste, but I wouldn't bother
on cd.   Two VERY different records from the sensitive guy.
Do a search on the web and you'll find pages devoted to his poetry,
or maybe not.

I won't deny that Merry Xmas from the sabp most certainly does have some
cheesy sounding #'s on it but to say that it still ain't fuckin' great
would be a lie.
1st of all it was NEVER Esquivel's record, it was a collection that
included in its original release only 6 Esquivel tracks.

Sun Valley Ski Run and the other 1 from Strings Aflame are absolutely
brilliant and wonderful.  Snowfall, so-so.

SO WHAT!!!;))  Sure, it's easy for you to go after a guy who's 80 years old

For the Les Baxter compleatist, check out IT CAME FROM WEAVER FIVE, a new

which includes a lengthy chat with the B-man (along w/a fairly recent

but also touches briefly on some of his exotic work, namely "Music Out of

IT CAME FROM WEAVER FIVE is published by McFarland & Company, Box 611,

TV and radio lore, and it's a little pricey but highly recommended.

collection is great Holiday music.  The intro and outro w/Esquivel are

BTW-who arranged the Cole "Unforgettable"?


The man who composed Nat King Cole's hitá''Unforgettable'' has died.
    His son says Irving Gordon died of cancer at his home in LosáAngeles. He
was 81.
    Gordon once said the song ''Unforgettable'' was unique becauseáit
doesn't ''scream, yell and have a nervous breakdown while itátalks about
tenderness.''
    Gordon also wrote ''Prelude to a Kiss'' for Duke Ellington. Theásong was
later used in the movie of the same name starring Meg Ryanáand Alec
Baldwin.
    Gordon is also credited with writing Abbott and Costello'sáclassic
comedy routine, ''Who's On First.''

In my opinion...

The Laserlight series of "lounge" tunes is really for ultra-fans only.  The
series contains a few worthwhile tracks, but they are interspersed with a lot
of expendable material.  "Caveat Emptor", as they say.

As for Rod McKuen, he was a wildly successful and prolific recording artist
in the mid-to-late 60s and early 70s.  His trademark style is "narrating" the
lyrics of a song, much like Richard Harris.  It's not really that "groovy."
 For me, an entire album of his stuff is hard to take.

From: [e-mail] (Brother Cleve)
Subject: (exotica) Esquivel Xmas
Date: 04 Dec 1996 15:01:49 -0500

Some comments regarding the Esquivel Xmas CD, which I produced......

1) the original concept for the CD, as envisioned by Irwin Chusid, was to
combine the 6 Esquivel tracks from "Merriest of Christmas Pops" with the
Three Suns amazing "Ding Dong Dandy Christmas" LP (also an RCA release).
Esquivel shot this down, as he didn't want to 'share' a CD. The Ray Martin
tracks from "Merriest....." are pretty unlistenable IMHO and were never
considered, but Esquivel's argument would aply again anyway.

2) BarNone then scrambled to find other tracks in a holiday vein to
complete the project. This is where I came in.

3) The concept of the intro/outro tracks, which I scripted and scored, is a
winking homage to the Phil Spector and Beach Boys Christmas albums (as well
as Hefner's "Playboy After Dark/Playboy's Penthouse" TV series). Yes, maybe
it's a bit of an inside joke, but I didn't think that it couldn't be
enjoyed if you didn't know the cultural references. I don't know why
BarNone didn't acknowledge on the back cover that they were my recordings,
with Esquivel's narration. But their basic idea was to add something fun to
the package, as well as add something to an admitedly short CD. Esquivel
liked the script, and we thought folks would enjoy hearing what he actually
sounds like.

4) I, too, was surprised by the price when I first saw the CD in stores,
but what most people don't know about are the cost demands put upon the
labels doing the reissues.  Everyone has their pipe dreams about what they
would like to see reissued, and many are angry that such and such favorite
of theirs has not been reissued, but it gets more and more difficult and
complicated every day. Guarenteed sales figures within a prescribed amount
of time is how this stuff operates (which the label pays, whether they sell
that amount or not), but some of the majors have raised prices and
shortened leasing agreements, making it much more difficult for CD reissues
to come out. [Bootleg releases have killed legitimate releases of many
titles, because of the dent in the marketplace on them]. In order for
BarNone to pay RCA for the right to release this CD, they have to charge
list price and hope to break even. Don't forget, this is a holiday release
that only has a shelf life of roughly 3 months a year, and they only have
it for 2 years!! And don't say 'why doesn't RCA just release it then?'
Sales don't justify it, and they don't 'get it'. With the exception of the
first Esquivel CD, sales of EZ Listening reissues hover between the
5000-10,000 mark, which isn't even a pimple on Mariah Carey's ass. It's
just not seen as profitable enough to a major corporation. While many of
you are sick of compilations, you should all have nothing but praise for
Brad Benedict, Wayne Wadkins and Gary Gersh at Capitol Records for at least
believing in this stuff enough to promote and support the whole UltraLounge
series (which will have 7 more volumes next spring, including Ultra Lounge
NOW!, which will feature new bands). With heavy promotion and good in-store
visibilty, these CD's are selling much better than any of the others - and
if sales figures are good, Capitol expand Ultra Lounge and reissue complete
albums.

5) While $15.99 may seem high (although many of the chains are selling it
for $10.99), look at it 2 ways :
a) finding an original "Merriest" LP is not the easiest thing in the world.
The album is very, very rare. It was in print for less than six months in
1959 (RCA must have finally realized that Esquivel's music was too odd for
your average '50's family gathering), and was pressed in a very small
quantity. The majority of hardcore collectors don't have it. And unless you
found one at a thrift/flea/boot/tag sale, you would pay handsomly for it.
Finding the "I Feel Marvelous"/ "Whatchamacallit" single is even tougher,
and even more expensive in the dollars versus record legnth argument. (I
believe Tony Wilds is selling it for $30).

b) you could all be in worse shape - you could be into new country music.
Nashville publishing companies limit the amount of tracks on country music
CD's to 10 songs; almost all new country CD's clock in at 30 minutes or
less, and many have a higher ($18.98) price. So it could be worse. (of
course, if you like new country, you get what you deserve. Gimme Ernest
Tubb or Buck Owens anyday....)

6) Culturally, Exotica/SABP fans should rejoice :  Now, along with Ryko's
Arthur Lyman Xmas and Capitol's Christmas Cocktails, at least you've got
something on CD to get ya through the stupid holidays (my fellow
vinylologists need not apply)

Regarding Rod McKuen -

Combustible Edison (along with Jack "Mr. Bongo" Constanzo and the Brian
Setzer Orchestra) played the recent "Ultra Lounge" show for the Neil Bogart
Cancer Foundation in Santa Monica (a $500-a-plate/$25,000 a table charity
event; that's why Cindy Crawford was there and you weren't).
As we were playing our set, I couldn't help but notice, amongst all the
tuxedos and gowns, a grey haired and bearded fellow in jeans and a
sweatshirt watching us intently from the thatched roof bar directly across
from the hut we were playing in. We later found out that it was Rod. I knew
he was credited for providing the album covers on the DCC Arthur Lyman CD a
few years back; and there are some exotic moments on his instrumental
"Something Beyond" LP from '67; and I always dug his "I Belong to the Beat
Generation' song that Richard Hell and the Voidoids altered. Then I heard
about the Laserlight CD's he produced.

Hmmm....the Millionaire and I got into a big discussion a few months back
about the 60's 'love poetry' scene and what a hoot it was. In Boston around
'67 and '68, we had Dick Summer and "The Lovin' Touch" on WBZ, a clear
channel 50,000 Watt AM station that covered the eastern U.S. and Canada (I
think the show was syndicated as well). I couldn't stand any of that
"poetry" stuff at the time, but now............well, it seems to me there's
no shortage of McKuen books & LP's at Salvation
Armys..............maybe....... no, no, I can't. Stop that thinking now,
stop it.......

ho boy,

Subject: (exotica) Esquivel Xmas and Com Ed
Date: 04 Dec 1996 17:11:35 -0500

I had to put in another positive vote for the Esquivel Xmas CD. I'm simply
happy to be able to hear Esquivel, as his vinyl is so very hard to find (I
have only one LP, which I found lying on a blanket at a yard sale, next to a
paperback of "Ubu Roi"!).
Sure, the font they used for the copy is tired, but the olive-holly leaf
pattern on the CD itself more than makes up for it...I liked the intro and
outro- well, I would've liked the outro to be a bit longer- that singing saw
is haunting. Okay, the whole CD is a bit short, but I personally slink into
that 'beggar's can't be choosers' mode with music like this. I'll be trimming
my flammable white sparkley tree along with it.

Secondly, I just wanted to praise Combustible Edison- they did a fine show at
Philadelphia's Five Spot. My gaggle was collectively mesmerized. It was worth
having a ne'er do well waft his cigar near my Aqua Netted ringlets, and my
dear pal continued to swing even after Nicholas Cudahy spun one of his shiny
oxfords directly into her shin. I know of two young exotics who had
teenybopper's eyes for Miss Lily's lowkey, whispered charms, while my heart
skips for the Millionaire.  The critic for the Inquirer called the show "a
fevered, Technicolor dream."  I would tend to agree.

ta-ta, Mona

CD's still cost only about 1 dollar each to make.
Art and promotion are a small cost above that per unit.
Remember back when the record companies said CD prices would
one day come down?  Vinyl is costlier to produce and costs less
in the marketplace.  Indie labels do fine selling 5000 units.
That easily recoups cost on an original recording project.

There's my stab at the party line.

Let's get some of Esquivel's unheard (or discussed)
'70's stuff reissued!

Burbujas, etc.

All this said, Br. Cleve's defense was a good one.  I'm glad
it was Esquivel and not Mr. Recordpresident who made the decisions.

Merry whateveryoucelebrate,

Too bad. They should go ahead and release "Ding Dong Dandy Christmas"on it's

 need not be played only near the holidays. I played it quite a bit in my car
this summer. Then there's the cover.......trust me, you'll love it.

Say, Cleve... did you say "hi!" to Cindy for me? She used to be my hygienist,

Many listmembers will dig, as I do muchly, McKuen's cooool track "The Mud Kids"
from - is it the LP called 'The Earth', or is it 'The Sea' - (?) in which he
urges tolerance on the part of his older(sic), more staid listeners for the
younger generation of the 60s and their exploits.

(Of course, the hippie "experience" did tend at times to bring about a
diminution of any recognizable aesthetic consciousness, but that's neither here
nor there.)

This is all true (except promotion) - but the cost I was discussing is what
the reissuing label has to pay the parent label for the right to reissue
product that they own. That cost, plus mechanical and compostional
royalties, adds up to a considerable amount, especially when you realize
that the costs must be paid in advance to the parent company, based on a
predetermined amount set by them, for the amount of time they'll let you
use it. The average is sales of 10,000 units, over the course of 3 years,
although that's been dropped to 2 years by some companies.

> Indie labels do fine selling 5000 units.
>That easily recoups cost on an original recording project.

Right again, but the label has that title in it's catalog for as long as
they deem to keep it in print. The recording costs of an indie rock record
are comparable, and often times less, than the cost a company has to pay up
front for a reissue. My point on the Esquivel Xmas record is that, taking
the shelf life of a Xmas record into consideration, BarNone essentially has
6 months (spread over 2 years) to sell 10,000 copies. The amount of returns
they get in January will indicate if they can afford to take a chance on
ever doing another Esquivel release.

Subject: (exotica) Singers and Arrangers/Conductors
Date: 05 Dec 1996 08:11:47 -0500

I've had more luck lately with finding LPs arranged or conducted by some
exotica notables than their original albums. For example, the DeCastro
Sisters (Babette, Cherie, and Olga--sounds like a Russ Meyer trio) and their
two great albums (that I know of) on Capitol, THE DECASTROS SING (with great
music by Billy May) and ROCKIN' BEAT (music by Jack "Soundsville" Marshall).
The sisters' gimmick was to do tin-pan- alley standards in a Latin mood (on
SING, they switch the lyrics from english to spanish and back to english
again, which is kind of stupefying) or a "rockin" one (I wouldn't say rock
so much as "bounce," how the liner notes desribe it--but there's a great "I
Love You, Oh How I Love You" with a freaky organ in the background). Another
plus is that the DeCastros are _very_ scary looking. Jet black hair (teased
to perfection) and toreador pants, and red red RED lipstick. Anyone know
anything about these gang debs? :)

I also found two of Rosemary Clooney's Bob Thompson arranged LPs, CLAP
HANDS, HERE COMES ROSIE! and THANKS FOR NOTHING (On Reprise). She does a
fantastic "Black Coffee" and Bob's music for "Just One of those Things" is a
throwback to his "Playboy" days. BTW, Clap Hands! mentions Bob's chorus.
Didn't he work with the Randy Van Horne singers? Would they be on this album?

FINALLY, being a mild Dwayne "Dobie Gillis" Hickman fan (I liked Maynard G
better on the show, though :) ), I was excited to find DOBIE! his cash-in
album. I was doubly excited to see that Jimmie Haskell arranged and
conducted. Well Dwayne can't sing and the album's a drag. His tell-all
autobio _Forever Dobie_  revealed that he hated making it (I'm a actor not a
singer!) and it sold "either 62 copies in 1963 or 63 copies in 1962." They
should have got Bob Denver into the studio instead. "Maynard G in Outer
Space, music by Jimmie Haskell." Now that's a record! :)


Hope I didn't step on anyone's toes. There seems to be a lot of Holiday
Jitters on this list, which leads to all-around nastiness. No Grinches
allowed here, please! :)

Happy Holidays, Jessica


PS-- does anyone have Lenny Dee's xmas album? Is it any good? I've had
trouble finding decent Christmas records around here--the Ventures Christmas
and a Melachrino Strings thing and that's it!

I've been wondering about these too.  I've seen them at Tower and they
certainly look "budget," but there were a couple of things that I wasn't
familiar with among the more obvious choices.  So the question is, are there
even a couple of tracks on any of the volumes that would make any of them worth
picking up?  Keep in mind that at 5.99, even one or two cool tracks would be
cheaper than tracking down a rare single.

Thanks,

I've bought two of the Laserlight compilations: Bachelor In Paradise and El

"Bachelor" but I absolutely loved El Raunch...Latin Songs For Gringos. It's
totally fun and very well done. The music is upbeat for the most part and
totally worth the $5.99. I also picked up these CDs, that were $9.99 each:
Music For The Jet Set and In A Cocktail Mood. These are on the Hi Fi label.
They have cuts by Arthur Lyman, Woody Herman, Anton Karas, jack "Bongo"
Burger, Harry Zimmerman, James Bond & His Sextet, etc. They're not as good at
the Ultra Lounge compilations, but for the price they're nice to listen to.

I have The Decastro's "Live At The Stardust" (20th Century Fox, 1964),
which has a beautiful cover shot of them at night in front of the
illuminated, original Stardust sign (the neon star-spangled Saturn, with
the jagged letters - why did they tear this down, what were they
thinking??? You can also see the Aku Aku sign in the background). The
sisters have their black bouffants, Stepford-wife smiles, and Miss Yvonne
styled dresses, and white high heels. The marquee has been cheesily altered
to list their name and the song titles (ah, the days before Photoshop!).
The cover is much better than the record, although they do a pretty
swingin' version of the theme to "Walk on the Wild Side". Well, maybe it's
not *that* swingin'.

Subject: (exotica) Chet Atkins albums?
Date: 05 Dec 1996 16:05:37 -0500

Hey folks, I was just reading the latest issue of THE TRACKING ANGLE, and
this guy in there raved about the following 'must have' Chet Atkins;

All on RCA:

1.)  Hi Fi in Focus (LPM-1577)  1957

2.)  The Other Chet Atkins (LPM-2175)  1961

3.)  The Chet Atkins Workshop (LPM-2232)  1961

4.)  Down Home (LPM-2450)  1962

5.)  Caribbean Guitar (LPM-2459)  1962


Anybody know anything about these?  Are they as good as he says they are?
The reader in the article wanted to know if they were ever going to be
released on CD or not.  I'd appreciate any info, anyone has about them.

Thanks,

Bryan

     I seem to have more questions than comments these days, so as long as
     I'm on a roll.. Question 1 of 2

     1. I picked up a Polygram compilation called "Music for Night People"
     which has Esquivel's "Nocturnal" from To Love Again as well as Yma
     Sumac's "Gopher Mambo", The Three Suns "Chanson D'Amor" and Les
     Baxter's "Topage". The compilation (according to the insert) is "A
     collection of songs from the Polygram Publishing Archive". Huh? I
     thought that RCA and/or Capitol had rights to these releases. Can
     anyone clarify?

     2. Is there any place (perhaps here on the list) where a person can
     find out how well these lounge, SABPM, Exotica CD's are doing? Perhaps
     Ashley, Brad or any of you at the publishing companies can give an
     idea of the sales numbers they've received or is that "taboo"? Perhaps
     there is one artist (besides Esquivel) that stands out as a decent
     seller.

     Thanks for considering. That's enough for now....

     Doug

My pal Devin and I scared this up in L.A. last winter, and I daresay that if
there hadn't been two copies in the bins one of us woulda mopped up the floor
with the other.  It's a promo and I don't know the details behind its release
but it looks to me like it's something Polygram put out to encourage folks to
exploit the songs -- their owning the publishing rights to the songs is
different from RCA, Capitol, et al.'s owning the rights to the indivudual
performances.

     Bryan,

     I have those last two (among others not mentioned). I love Chet
     Atkins, but, in my opinion, his albums are usually half brilliant and
     half kinda schlocky, with syrupy strings etc, although that may be a
     good thing for some.  Same problem that seems to haunt Billy Mure. I
     was expecting "Caribbean" to be more exotic than it was, but that's
     probably because exotica-list influenced shopping has made my musical
     diet a little richer lately. Luckily, ol' Chet pops up pretty
     frequently in thrifts and the like for cheap. Usually in pretty good
     shape, too, so load up and make yourself a tape - that's what I do.

     Relative to the Christmas controversy and Br. Cleve's assessment
that some Xmas albums are better than none, I wanted to point out that
the L.A. band Blue Hawaiians also have a Christmas disk out. As a
surf-revival band, they won't qualify in everyone's book as lounge, but
many of their tunes do fit the bill, falling in some interesting position
between the Ventures, Roy Orbison and Julee Cruise.

Too bad there weren't more folks; I was going to show but I was dragged
off to a movie instead. There probably would have been more people there

Actually, I bought his live lp for a buck just to see how he approached
things as I do a kind of spoken word/jazz/whatever thing....and
I....er...liked it, actually. I now quote his ending lines at the end of my
shows with a "Before you go, I'd like to read you something by Rod McKuen
(massive groans- especially with the older crowds)....blah blah blah." Goes
down a storm.

Then I found a compilation of his Warner Bros things with Anita Kerr and I
liked that also, especially some of the foreign versions that had been
released in other countries.

Nowadays I noticed his name on the back of Laserlight budget cds as a
producer.

This is a promo only collection put together by Polygram Publishing to get TV
and Film people interested in using the compositions they own. Everytime some
bit of music is placed in a film or TV show the publishers collect on it. On
the Martin Denny releases for example, eventhough they are owned by Liberty,
an EMI company, EMI publishing (a division of EMI) may only own the rights to
a track or two. There are several compositions for example than Warner
Chappell, a Warner Bros. associated publishing company, has the rights to.
The company that owns the recording naturally also makes money from any music
placement.

Unfortunately these figures are kept close to the chest, for several reasons,
many of which being the artist(s) may not want them know. Think of it as if
someone on this list were to ask you to let everyone know what your weekly
paycheck is. Suffice to say that for the most part if these titles sell the
10,000 unit guarrantee it is a bit of a minor victory. I hope this helps.

Br cleve and the E-man grooving can do no wrong. But after the recent, sad
demise of Tiny Tim, let us not overlook his Xmas release, brothers and
sisters, which is WAY out there. For the disbelievers, Tiny Tim was a
champion of the true greats like Ukulele Ike who never made it from 78 to
LP, much less CD, but definitely deserved it. Tiny Tim did some great
tribute work when not slumming in carnivals that compares,
era-pigeonholing-wise, to the Fugs, Paul Krassner, PKD, and Ken Kesey -- if
only you look a little past the bell-bottoms and ricky-ticky stickers pimped
by the fourth or fifth estate, whichever it is.

$10 from a dealer who knows what he's doing but also realizes he has only
one customer for this stuff. And worth all of $5 musically at that. ($10
more for the yucks and preciousness.)

Naw, hanging on to it. (And Cleve, that was a just a notion!) Under $3 from
a MAJOR record store/online dealer house YOU TOO COULD ACCESS with a little
effort.

Look, if you don't expose yourself to vinyl sources, pining is your destiny
(or just seek out plenty of other good schluck). Cultivate the worthy record
dealers, and they will reward you. Lick stamps, get out of the house, and
merry season. Universally huge discounts on vinyl at Santa time cuz old men
gotta eat too.

Cleve, quit licking semi-corporate boot and make wild like ya usta! "Bob"
loves you. God bless Tiny Tim, RIP, and the Combusting Esquivellian Boffo

Has anyone seen this film in its entirety?  When I interviewed Hyman
early this year, he told me it was forthcoming...I love Allen and
Hyman(who, as many of you know, has scored and/or arranged music for a
lot of Woody's films.)  I don't care if the Chairman would take him out
for the sake of Mia, I'll always love the whole, crazed pack...BTW-Hyman
doesn't even have a Moog anymore...He looks at that point in his life as
a tributary in his overall stream....

Just a quick reminder for all you East Coasters out there..

WFMU's Record Fair is a'happenin this weekend, December 7th and 8th, at
440 East 12th Street (near Ave. A) in NYC. The show runs from 11am to 7pm
each day. Admission is $4. Early admission (10am) costs $10.

It's a great record fair, and is laden with odd and unusual vinyl. Over
90 dealers from all over the world will be on hand.

There will also be CDs, books, videos, a theremin for everyone to have
their way with, Rudy Ray Moore will be in the house, and there will be a
live performance by the Great Bingo Gozingo (the white Wesley Willis).
FMU will be broadcasting live from the beer-soaked stage for the whole
fair. The FMU Catalog of Curiosities will also be setting up shop there,
and we're in stock on just about everything. Except the Paia theremins.
But you can play with the station's model in the back room.

If anyone from this list comes by, please stop by the catalog table and
say hey.

>>in his life as a tributary in his overall stream....

According to the new issue of Grand Royale (with the 32 page Moog special),
Hyman collaborated with Walter Sear, in Sear's NYC modular synth studio, on
some Moog parts for the Allen film. I believe it's the same Moog Series III
he recorded the 2 Command Moog albums on.

>Does he know who has it now?  If you tell me he got rid of the Hammond

He never owned a modular system. He owned a Minimoog that he used in
concert. (this again in the new Grand Royale.)

Also, Hyman used a Lowrey organ, which featured the "Hawaiian Steel" pedal
that he used to pitch bend notes (Garth Hudson of The Band used the same
model). The Lowrey used a different kind of tone cabinet than the Leslie
speakers - it utilised reverb chambers rather than the rotating horns,
which gave most Hammond users their distinctive sound.

Alright, keyboard class is dismissed for today.

      Dick Hyman's been his musical director for ages. All the great
Dixieland material that opens some of his films, plus the terrific
Gerhswin score in "Manhattan," were all Dick Hyman creations. Hyman's
also a terrific jazz pianist. I have an album of him playing Cole Porter
that's one of my favorites. The man is way more than moog.

I only realized the Allen/Hyman connection less than a year ago
(what took me so long? I mean - how many guys out there are named
Dick Hyman for pete's sake).  Thus, struck by this thunderbolt of
knowledge, it made all kinds of sense.  I've always loved the scores
to Woody's pics.  I've got a few of Dick's straight piano albums -
both classical and jazz - and enjoy them right along side his Moog
and organ efforts.  Just thought the mind boggling assortment of
lunatic elements in this film coulda used a little Moog is all...

My 2 cents on Dick Hyman-

Since some of you seem to be making some Hyman revelations today, I
thought I'd also throw in that he used to write articles for Keyboard
Magazine quite often in the 80's. In fact, he still does once in awhile.
Usually these articles dealt with jazz piano, but sometimes he'd talk
about more esoteric things. While you're at it, you might as well also
check out the myriad of articles Mr. Moog has written for Keyboard over
the years.

Subject: (exotica) Kookie Tells All?
Date: 07 Dec 1996 18:15:36 -0500

Ed "Kookie" Byrnes  has just issued a slim bio (i forget the title) incovering
 his 77 Sunset Strip years and the inevitable drugs and booze problems that
followed.  I skimmed it for about 20 minutes at the bookstore, and
particulary enjoyed the nude hollywood hot tub parties with Natalie Wood
(yum) and Anita Ekberg sunbathing nude by the pool (those uninhibited
europeans !).
The show's writers were apparently  responsible for his Kookie-isms, which he
had to practice very hard to keep from blowing his lines.  My favorite off a
short list is "a dark seven" meaning a bad week. He says he hung with the Rat
pack, got more fan mail than Gable, etc, etc.  Sounds like he had it made,
 at least for a little while.  Now, like many of us, he's clean and sober,
but those wasted days and wasted nights were fun while they lasted ; )  He
also claimed to be the first white rapper, years before Vanilla Ice !  Yeah
right, tell Lord Buckley and many others.

Can the Kookie CD resisue be far behind? Throw in some Connie Stevens (and I
thought I recently saw an LP by a shirtless Roger Smith),  and we're talking
a nice compliaton that I need badly.  Think I'll e-mail TVLand now and get 77
SS and Hawaiian Eye back on the air. Or wouldnt a remake with the CAA or The
Viper Room valet parker(or paramedic) be a good new show for WB, which will
show anything ?

This is a confirmed promo, I spoke to a representative from Polygram Music
several months ago when this collection started sprouting up in used CD bins
- don't be confused with the Mondo Lounge series which should be avoided with
the same fearfulness a new Michael bolton Cd inspires.

On that bootleg CD of Orienta/Tropical Fantasies the track listing for
Orienta is incorrect.

The 1st track to play is Yokohama Ferryboat and the 2nd is Rain in Rangoon
all the way to the 12th track being Song of India-Beggar's Procession.

Of course you'd never know that for sure unless you had the record.
I thought it was important enough to tell you so you wouldn't look or sound
incorrect if there was someone around who happened to be listening and who
knew the record when you announced the title.

I dig those McKuen/Anita Kerr collaborations, "The Earth" The Sky" "The

intonations of Alan Burke's "My Naked Soul"? It's almost as good as the
grandaddy of them all, "The Poetry of Dr.Kurt Stern, his Orchestra,Chorus

BTW,Anita Kerr was also responsible for one of my favorite contributions to
the Baroquetail genre,The Mystic Monks' "Closing The
Gap".Hammond-and-French-Horn-with-Swingin'-Rhythm-Section versions of
classical themes.Rachmaninoff never sounded so good!

The remarkable Stern LP remains an elusive find, but well worth keeping an
eye out for. Along with Alan Burke's incredible "My Naked Soul", a tape of
which kept the members of ComEd in convulsions with its double and triple
entendres (and beyond), these 'love poetry' records records could have been

Don't like to blow my own horn or anything, but lucky me has got a gig in
NYC. Of course, I just noticed that it is the same night as In Hi-Fi -
typical! Now I won't get to go along and check that out!!!!

Anyway, yours truly will be DJing at "Killer" at Save the Robots (25 Ave. B)
on Thursday Dec. 19th. The club is from 10pm-4am, and I don't know how much
it costs or when I'm on or anything. And the booking was after the flyer,
but I will be DJing.

BE WARNED!!!!! If you are thinking about going along, this place plays
electronic music of an experimental and dance variety. It is loud. Dark.
That sort of thing. If this is NOT your bag, don't go, you will loathe it. I
will be playing my exotic cocktail sounds, hopefully in a separate room, but
I really don't have a clue if I am playing 10 minutes or what. I'm just keen
on doing my thang. And in the Big Apple at that!

Also, more horn blowing here...my radio show  "Easy Now Sound" will be back
on Subcity Radio in the month of February on Sundays, 4.30-6pm. So if you
are in the Glasgow area (ha, ha, ha...) be sure to check it out, y'all!

And now you may resume your regular programming.....

Dick did indeed record some Moog music with Walter Sear for the Allen
movie but sadly it was never used in the film!

There's more info about this and a list of the other keyboard
instruments Dick played in my interview with him at the Spaced Out

Oh, and that Grand Royal issue is *thoroughly* worth buying.

Tipsy are digulla and gardner...two guys armed with a dat and vale's record
collection. they sampled bits and pieces from Mr. ISM's library and then
dumped the whole thing into whizzer technology and spewed forth some of the
most delicious nouveaux-lounge-exotica-hipster sounds this side of ComEd.
naturally all this lead to a licensing nightmare so they went back and
added some live musicians to the mix. this has been kicking around for
about half a year. the original tape sounds excellent and the new 12" does
swing. expect a full length probably in early '97...

I picked up the newest issue of Grand Royal (a very funky, erratically
published magazine from the likes of the Beastie Boys and the label of the
same name) a week or two ago, and there's an interview with Wendy Carlos
in it... Not to mention the fact that there is also an interview with Dick
Hyman and a bunch of other Moog-related stuff...

Anyway, I was wondering if someone would give us the lowdown on Walter,
er, Wendy Carlos. When did "Walter" become "Wendy", and ...uhhh... WHY?
This is truly weird.

Long story short, Walter began becoming Wendy in the early 70's, but did
not reveal this to the public until I think 1979 or '80- in an amazing
Playboy interview. Wendy is one of those folks who was born into one sex
but always felt like they were meant to be the opposite sex. Not
homosexual- something else entirely. I know that interview is on the
web- check one of the Wendy Carlos web pages. It's not on her personal
homepage, but there's tons of great stuff there- she's a very honest,
down-to-earth person, judging by the frankness and sincerity of her open
letters to her fans.
I've only known about Wendy since she became Wendy, and it's not easy
for me to imagine her being a man.
BTW- soon they'll finally be rereleasing her mid-80's microtonal
masterpiece "Beauty In The Beast" on CD- it's an amazing album.
Theoretically it should appeal to all you exoticats. I also love her
score to "Tron" and her "Digital Moonscapes."

I also heartily recommend "Sonic Seasonings", although I do not know
whether it has been reissued.

If Wendy's talent was linked to changing sexes, call me Briana!

There aren't too many pictures of Walter- he was pretty camera shy.
Especially during the 70's. During the transformation, Wendy would make
media appearances only as Walter, complete with fake sideburns, etc. If
you've ever seen the album "By Request," the cover has a cartoon-version
of what she looked like as a man during this period. It's a pretty
forgiving illustration!

> I also heartily recommend "Sonic Seasonings", although I do not know

Not yet- I think they're planning on reissuing everything on CD though.
It's all been tied up in licensing tangles for years. BTW, Wendy was an
early champion on Quadraphonic Sound, and "Sonic Seasonings" was totally
conceived for quad.

Anybody have any functioning quad hi-fi setups?

For those on the list who are interested in music technology, Wendy put
out a really interesting CD a few years back called "Secrets Of
Synthesis-" basically an audio documentary narrated by Wendy about the
various synthesizers and techniques she's used over the years. I see
copies in Tower fairly often- shouldn't be too hard to find.

I've been going through all my backissues of Keyboard Magazine recently
and, y'know, they've had some pretty hip things in that rag over the
years. Among other things I ran across an article about Art Ferrante
from 1990- shortly after Teicher retired. And this month's issue has
Korla Pandit!

Subject: (exotica) Hot August Night
Date: 10 Dec 1996 15:30:08 -0400

I know you've been breathlessly awaiting this...so, dim the lights, put
on your favorite shiny, tartan-plaid Christmas season top(which, along
w/tailored Italian pants, is what he wore), turn on your heartlight, and
get ready for my concert review of...
NEIL DIAMOND!
I was too much in a state to write this Monday, but I have now recovered.
 I had 9th row floor seats to this concert-in-the-round.  So, when the
house lights went down, I could feel the collective orgiastic sigh of
all the women in the sold-out 23-thousand plus arena.  The show was
gratefully low on pyro-technics, the only stunt at first was to lower
this cylindrical scrim down to show some lazer lights that looked
remarkably like the cover of Ken Nordine's COLORS.  I was pleased to see
a rock-band set up as well, because that would provide for
less-schock...
I was prepared to take almost the whole thing on irony, but I gotta say,
at nearly 60-years-old, the "Jewish Elvis" still has it!  It, being that
great, no matter what you think of him, VOICE!  He's truly a great
*performer* as well.  The show was mostly PURE MUSIC, with not a lot of
dazzle...And he seems humble, __humbled___, perhaps by the fact that he
hasn't had a hit in more than a decade and can still sell out huge
concerts...
For two-and-a-half hours, under hot lights and an inpenatrable shirt, the
man sang everything you'd wanna hear, from the Brill Building days, to
his cry-yer-heart-out 70's ballads, to some stuff I didn't really wanna
hear from the 1980s'(THEY'RE COMIN' TO AMERICA....TODAY!)...For that
song, they lowered four American flags...a low-point of the
show...Another one was him singing FOREVER IN BLUE JEANS-*twice*-because
one section wasn't dancing!
A high point for Neil, though, was the estrogen-section, about 500 women
who, in the spirit of BEATLEMANIA, would not stop screaming! But there
were no underwear thrown.  This crowd was kinda weird, but not in the
way I expected.  It was odd, because it was so *normal*, like going to a
Methodist Church service or something...Very *white*
He   had a competent rhythm section in conga and steel-drum players, as
well as a drummer for the"Christian Elvis," apparently.
He ended appropriately with BROTHER LOVE'S TRAVELIN' SALVATION SHOW...and
thankfully omitted TURN ON YOUR HEARTLIGHT...
In his words, then,now, and forever...
"I'M A BELIEVER."
(no, he didn't do that.)

The kind of weird that some on this list warned me about...here are some
excerpts...

*And lemme
     tell, ya - he's still got it (though he was wearing some
     kind of bizarre sequined lumberjack shirt - his little bit
     country/little bit rock-n-roll look I suspect).

median age of the audience was about 65!...except for the weird creepy
guys
who were wearing homemade Neil t-shirts and Kamikaze-style headbands
emblazoned with Diamond lyrics...yipes

And, I guess it was the kind of weird that comes with middle age and
mothers going through menopause...

Bleeker and knew I had
to buy all his solo stuff. The new CD "Best of" has a few Brel covers.
(yes!)

 and it got me wondering, "Who is Brel?"  Also, who are the writers of

Date: 10 Dec 1996 20:47:38 -0500

  Louis Sabu Martinez

Sabu and his Percussion Ensemble made "Sorcery," perhaps the wildest of all
exotic records, and certainly the first and best in the Columbia Adventures
in Sound series (numbered 101 to at least 135, Cleve). Sorcery's liner notes
are perhaps the best ever --especially if you like novelist J.G. Ballard--
and can be read via my URL; the arty photo is good too. Louis Sabu Martinez
made at least eight other records; one, which I'm supposed to get Sunday, is
on RCA's budget Vik label (its notes are part of a file mentioned below).

  Sabu and the theremin man

Even though both are on RCA jungle records, the bongo-sorcerer Sabu is not
the the "famous East Indian boy" from the Jungle Book and Thief of Bagdad
movies. But, both flix were scored by Miklos Rozsa, who also did Ben-Hur and
used theremin in the classic scores of Lost Weekend, Red House, and
Spellbound (the last is now on CD).

  First soundtrack album

Sabu the boy ("Mowgli") narrates Kipling's Jungle Book on the 1942 Victor
album (of three 78rpm records) comprising the soundtrack to the movie (no,
not that animated Disney thang). "Jungle Book" has the disctinction of being
the first American-made feature motion picture to have its score recorded
for commercial release as an album.

        see the jacket:   http://www.charm.net/~wilds/sabupops.html

This file contains 3 big ugly jpegs, so maybe go make a sandwich. [The
Jungle Book jacket has been mounted on a wall for years now, but it took an
LP guide to Miklos Rozsa --with lots of great stills-- to serve up the trivia.]

  Esquivel's Merriest of Christmas Pops

Also viewable in the above file are scans of the front and back of the
[somewhat deservedly] rare Merriest of Christmas Pops LP. To further the
curious juxtaposition of the exotic and the space-aged, at the end is some
just-in Sabu info from a saintly, herniated record dealer who has been done
in by hauling records. (And the guy with 8 Sabu records just broke his
shoulder hauling records -- better watch out.) Man, these guys are dedicated.

In considering the much worthier CD by the festive Mr. Esquivel and his
Combustible elves, remember that brevity is a virtue -- especially in all
things Xmas, and be glad you don't have to hear Mimi Hines sing all she
wants for Christmas (is a new voice). That filtration alone is worth $15.
Peace and joy.

     Walter Carlos' sex-change operation was well more than a decade ago,
and was covered quite prominently at the time (after a delay during which
she went underground). Wendy Carlos did a Playboy interview a few years
back in which she gave the complete story. Perhaps someone out there has
the date/cite for it.

Walter was *way* more freaky-looking than that! Wendy's a real looker in
comparison!!
Uh-oh... I feel bad karma coming on for denigrating one of the greats...
(one of my heroes/heroines!!)  but realistically speaking Walter had a
*major* problem with his physical appearance, so I dare say she might
agree with with me on this...

I tried to find the playboy interview, but failed. Here's lots of neat
photos, sans any of Walter:

Date: 11 Dec 1996 16:10:34 -0500 (EST)


I was recently contacted by Bob Thompson, the composer-bandleader who
recorded (at least) 3 classic Space Age Pop albums for RCA Victor in the
early 60s (as well as THE SOUND OF SPEED for Dot in '59. I included two
tracks from SPEED on the Rhino BACHELOR'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY comp and
three RCA tracks on the HISTORY OF SPACE AGE POP for BMG).

The point of this mention is that Thompson, in his 70s, lives in CA and
has been out of the record business for decades. He was shocked to get a
royalty check recently and had no idea any of his recordings were back in
print, or that a new generation was rediscovering his original vinyl LPs
and that they've become highly sought collectibles. Needless to say, he
was delighted.

If anyone would like to write to Thompson, I will happily forward any
personal correspondence to him. Send it to:

Subject: (exotica) Prague
Date: 11 Dec 1996 16:27:39 -0400

Dear Exoticans:

I'm just back from a week in Prague, and thought I'd
report on music-related resources and discoveries
there.  Needless to say, there wasn't much of an easy
listening scene there, though there were poster
announcements of a loungecore night on December 23rd
at one of the clubs.  (<That may have involved an
imported dj anyway.)  I saw UK/Holland punk band The Ex, at
a club called the Roxy, and danced to techno at
slacker mecca Rostr FX, but Vic Damone was nowhere to
be heard.

And, one night, I sat with my Czech friend at a
working class bar while his friends, who had
congregated for a birthday, played guitars, tambourines
and upright bass and sang `tramping songs.` 'Tramping'
was what the Czechs called going to the countryside,
and in the 1920s and 1930s it was very common to go
out to the woods, congregate in campgrounds, and sing
around campfires.  The songs tended to be Czech versions of
African-American spirituals and American folk songs, and
there are fewer things weirder than a room full of
30-somethings all singing 'Cotton Fields of Home' in
Czech.  Unless it was the singalong to the Czech translation
of Sloop John B, which everyone in the bar seemed to know.

I was there for a meeting, and the host was Ales
Opekar, who is working on a television documentary
series on the history of Czech Rock Music.  He had some
wonderful film footage from 1960s Czech twist bars and dance
parties, and encouraged me to seek out reissues of the
musical explosion which lasted from the late 1950s
right until the tanks came in, in 1968.  Bonton, the
label-record-store conglomerate, is releasing these
in nicely annotated editions (they look well-annotated,
anyway; I can't understand a thing.)

I picked up two CD comps featuring Czech female singers.
One, by Helene Vordrackova, has a couple of translated
Czech covers (Sugar Town, I Only Want To Be With You),
and is quite charming 1964-1967 studio pop.  The other
one, by Marta Kobisova, is a little later and a little
more political; I haven`t listened to it yet.

As I've done on so many visits to other countries, I
wondered where all the old records have gone.  I found
two used record stores (both of them owned by the same
person), and they were full of 1970s and 1980s rock,
picture disks and the usual collector's store stuff,
most of it imported, I gather, from Germany.  One of
these stories had dozens of old soundtracks and 1950s
vocal albums, but was asking $40-$50 for most of them.
I came across one used clothing boutique, sparsely
stocked and over-priced, and no charity shops.  I asked
whether there were flea markets or swap meats, but no
one could steer me in their direction.

Studio musicians in Prague whose fortunes have taken
a downturn with the switch to capitalism seem to be
rushing out mood instrumental albums and new agey
things to pay their rent.  There is one series which
was everywhere, and in the duty free store on the way
back, with only 200 crowns left, I almost bought the
one entitled "The Evolution of Men."  I'm sure they
meant "The Evolution of Man," but lousy translations are
one of the pleasures of European CD/record covers.

i do know a little about the RCA/BMG situation, although i don't know if it
will totally help explain their actions when it comes to reissues.  it
seems that there are three seperate divisions in the company that control
the things we're talking about:  Latin (Esquivel, Prado, Cugat etc),  Pop
(Mancini, Bob Thompson, Three Suns, etc), and Classical (some Mancini,
Gould, etc).  Now, according to a classical rep i talked to, the people in
their division KNOW what RCA has, but they don't have access to it. Only
the classical stuff.   That's why you saw the 5 Gould CDs reissued.  The
classical people (according to this guy) are way more hip to the 'lounge'
revival than the Latin or Pop people are, but if they hint to someone in
the Latin or Pop divisions that there may be something they'd like to
reissue, they get a "That's OURS" kind of reply.  So, we get Gould, while
the treasures sit in the vaults.  Its like they're competing WITHIN the
company!  Its a wonder the "Space-Age Pop" CDs ever came out if this is
what's going on.  anyway, it explains a little, but SOMEBODY over there has
to wake up.

Took a listen to this today, but didn't buy. What are other list members
opinions on this disk?

Also picked up the Laserlight "Bachelor In Paradise" and "Love Handle Lounge"
comps. They're not the best, but they were worth $4.99 each. Would anyone
mind posting the catalogue # of the El Raunch O! Grande disk? It seems our
local Circuit City only had the above two of the 9-CD set.

And I almost had a religious experience when I found and EX+ vinyl copy of
Esquivel's "Strings Aflame" for only 75 cents. Also found Lyman's "Hawaiian
Sunset" for 75 cents in EX condition.

Another Lyman question... why did  HiFi Records release Lyman's "Yellow Bird"
album with the same art, same tracks, same everything, except a different
title... "Percussion Spectacular." They are identical right down to the type.
Is one rarer than the other?

Hello.  You haven't seen any WKPS playlists from me lately because I'd begun
delegating the show (becasue of workloads, and wanting begin training my
successors), but they didn't keep their playlists.  Grrrr.  I do have the
playlist for our last show of the semester, which was half Christmas and
half "best of the semester", which I'll send soon.  We'll be on the air
again somewhere around Jan 20th.

A slightly-related-to-this-list note for any Bond fans:  there are new
letterboxed versions of all the movies coming out on video, so check out the
"previously viewed" sale bins at your local video mart because it may be
filled with goodies.  My dad picked up 7 (!) Bond films for 5 bucks a piece
(though someone apparently snatched up most of the Sean Connerys, that Roger
Moore's no slouch either).

Finals are done, so I get to catch up on a couple weeks of backlog.  I'm
also sending some tapes out this week, so if you've been waiting, you'll
probably feel some satisfaction soon.

Greetings all:

I remember a few years back seeing Wendy Carlos at  screening of Steve
Martin's documentary on Leon Theremin.  She was asked by Mr. Martin to give
a demonstration of the theremin after the film (those who had the lucky
ticket stubs were also invited up to try it out).  Anyway, she also brought
with her a version of a theremin she had been working on, which features not
a pitch antenna, but a fan-shaped panel with an image of a keyboard printed
on it. She confessed that because she was a keyboardist, she felt more
comfortable with this type of interface, which was also controlled without
being touched.

RCA is even more confusing than most. I deal with some of the
publicity people and when the last Desi Arnaz came out no one could
tell me who to talk with. I think there's RCA/BMG, RCA Victor and
RCA/BMG Tropical, at least. The Morton Gould re-issues (easy
listening, not the marketed "lounge") was even worse. RCA Spain did
that odd Cugat in Europe release but where oh! where is 'The King
Plays Some Aces'?

If you like Cugie (and you should!), I think the Blue Moon 'Mambo'
CDs are great. They're mostly Columbia and early Mercury recordings
and the hips sway without provocation.

It's called the Circon or Circular Controller, and there's a picture
with full info page on the making of it at Wendy's excellent site
which Pea pointed to earlier:

http://www.apocalypse.org/pub/u/wendy/wcarphoto.html

The Circon was initially created for used on the Shining score.
She's considered getting it mass produced but hasn't pursued that.
Anyone on the list used an alternative pitch/volume controlling
device for their theremin?

I'm surprised his publicist isnt' named "Bruno"---Lounge Laura

Frank Sinatra's publicist is denying reports thatáthe singer's health is
failing.
    ''The New York Post'' reports today that Sinatra is in ''veryápoor
health'' and that he suffered a stroke while in the hospitalárecently.
    But Susan Reynolds says Sinatra told her that ''he's O-K.''
    This is Sinatra's 81st birthday. Reynolds says there will be aásmall
private celebration tonight. She says his family is stoppingáby.
    The Post says only his wife; his children, Nancy, Tina and FrankáJunior,
and a few close friends will attend.

Can anybody tell me anything about Exoticon 96 in L.A.?  I went last year,
and had a swinging time, but I haven't been able to find out anything about
this year's event.  I tried several numbers and one got me in touch with the
coupon connection?!?.  The other number I called had a machine that mentioned
Exoticon Productions. I left my info, but never got a call back.  What gives?
 Did I miss it, or did it just not get off the ground this year?

Had to share these liner notes with you all:


"Thousands upon thousands of years ago Man
discovered that hitting two sticks together again and
again caused an exciting sound... and rhythm was
born.
Ten he learned that by blowing into shells he could
produce variable sounds... and melody was created.
Later he realized that vines stretched and plucked
produced new kinds of sounds... and harmony was
invented.
From these beginnings came the many instruments
Man developed until well into the Twentieth Century -
when electricity wrought miracles - adding new
dimensions to the music spectrum.
Conversely, and in line with Modern Man's quest to
find his new beginnings in that dim and distant past
his music seeks the missing link with his origins... the
roots that lie dormant in each and every one of us...
the hidden desires that 'Civilization' has suffocated.

If you want to discover your roots
LISTEN TO... DANCE TO... LIVE TO...
MANDINGO

From Mandingo's album, "The Primeval Rhythm of Life," on EMI Studio 2.

all of the last round of ULs had this mystery guest reciting over a
schmaltzy organ. (Cha-Cha D'Amor also has an except from Learn the Bongos
with Mr. Bongos) the folks over at Capitol are being tight lipped about the
origins of the mystery guest, but i suspect it is something they created
for the series and not something from an archive recording.

      "The Continental", as he is known, appears as a bonus on quite a
      few of the Ultra-Lounge series. He appeared on KTLA in LA in the
      50's and had his own 15 minute show. (like Korla Pandit) He acted
      as if the camera was his date and would entertain her at his
      bachelor pad with champagne, music, etc. You may have seen the
      send up of The Continental on Saturday Night Live, with
      Chistopher Walken.

      You can see a video of The Continental at the Museum of TV and
      Radio in NYC. If anyone knows where I might be able to buy some
      videos of his shows I'd appreciate it.

      I'd like to know more info about the album(s?), too.

Seasons Greetings, Johan....

Gosh darn it, I cannot recall the title.  It is most definitely offical and not one of
the "limited edition" (bootleg) CD's.  I saw it at Tower Records here in Bagdad By
The Bay, San Francisco.  I think it was 24.99 and the "CD art" features the original
cover of "The Hottest New Group In Jazz".  One of the other LP's is the Count Basie one,
don't remember the third.  I'll be there this weekend to pick up a gift certificate for
my bro-in-law, so I will check for you.  Stay tuned.

Happy Holidays

For those wishing to see another parody of him, in one cartoon Olive Oyl
is, in a daring plot twist, spurning Popeye's charms for "The
International"(Bluto).  Only when I saw(and taped) the KTLA retrospective,
did I get this joke.

The retrospective was nice; they showed small snippets of Korla Pandit,
Beany & Cecil(the hand puppet days.  Albert Einstein was a fan of the
show)and The Continental.

Here is a question.  I have a 78 of a fellow named Barclay
Allen(Cherokee/After you've Gone).  He is credited with playing "Multi-Piano".

1. Who is Barclay Allen?
2. Is "Multi-Piano" just shorthand for multi-tracking and tape manipulation?

Unfortunately, I have to agree.  I bought Arthur Lyman's Xmas CD but was
disappointed.  There's nothing wrong with it musically but with the
exception of some bird calls at the beginning of a few songs it's much more
straight jazz oriented than exotic sounding.

BTW, I love the Esquivel Xmas CD and enjoy the Ultra-Lounge Xmas CD quite a
bit.  I would recommend either of them of Lyman's Xmas CD (and I'm a big
Lyman fan).

And for the Real Deal,  I recently picked up a $2 60's era Charles Boyer LP
titled "Where Does Love Go,"  mainly spoken lyrics over E-Z orchestral
accompaniment.  Includes What Now My Love, Autumn Leaves, Gigi, other
standards, nothing too amazing, but quite enjoyable if you're in the right
frame of mind.  (My wife always thinks I'm trying to "Gaslight" her whenever
I play it.)
 Chucky Boy personified the romantic Frenchman for many years, and I can't
think of any Frenchman since who has exuded romance so well.
Nothing against Serge, Yves , and Charles Az, love em all, and Delon was a
dreamboat, but as the liner notes say about Boyer:
 " when he speaks, it is always with his heart...reminisciently,
thoughtfully, and thankfully of love."

I realize this has been answered already.....yes, it's "The Continental".
But what hasn't been said is that the recordings are Capitol '78's from the
late 40's/early '50's ( for some reason, I think I was told they were from
'51).

OK, now go find 'em. And don't break any of those rare Caruso's while
you're hunting.

Yes, Charles Boyer's "Where Does Love Go?" is a fabulous
album, a masterpiece of the old-man-on-the-park-bench variety
and oh-so-French.

Date: 14 Dec 1996 11:19:23 -0800

Here's a surprise.  While browsing the cheapo bin at Hastings Books & Music, ran across
"Exotic Excursions: Original Exotica for a Bachelor's Den" (Pickwick 1132-2) for $6.99.
Lo and behold, it's the famous Robert Drasnin exotica recording from the '50s with John
Williams, Salli Terri, Frank Capp, Milt Holland, Roy Harte et al--reissued on CD
recently by Dionysus as "Voodoo"

The liner notes say it was digitally transferred from the ORIGINAL analog masters--
but I thought the master tapes for this were long lost.  Anybody know what gives?

The original tapes of Drasnin's "Voodoo" were consumed in a fire several
years ago and the vinyl copy used for the CD was a mint copy from Mr.
Drasnin's personal collection. It is completely legit, the rights to this
recording had reverted to Mr. Drasnin who I'm sure was very happy to allow it
to be reissued.

I came across this article in the New York Post yesterday and thought the
list might be interested...

"Girl From Impanema" is suing Frito-Lay.

Astrud Gilberto the singer known as 'The girl from Impanema,' sued
Frito-Lay yesterday over a commercial featuring three supermodels, her
landmark vocals and Miss Piggy.

In a suit filed in Manhattan Federal Court, Gilberto claims the snack food
giant used without her permission her voals oin the tune that brought the
bossa nova beat to North Ameicas.  The suit wants the ad yanked and
punitive damages.

The commercial, which began airing in summer, features Naomi Campbell,
Kathy Ireland, and Vendela in beach chairs around a pool playing poker and
holding empty bags of chips, apparently eaten by Miss Piggy.

Gilberto's voice is heard singing...as a stuffed Miss Piggy sings along.

Gilberto's lawyer ...said Frito Lay claims the record company gave it
permission.  But she said the company never got the OK from the singer.

"That was her signature song...Unfortunately they didn't bother to ask her
permission to use her voice."  Her lawyer said the use of Gilberto's voice
'implies an endorsement' of the product and coupling the vocals with the
porcine Muppet's rendition is "defamatory"

Frito Lay's said they had not been served with papers and made no comment.



I will attempt to keep everyone posted on this one.

I also read that Mel Torme was back in the hospital.

Did anyone get pictures of the Empire State Building on Frank sinatra's
birthday?  It was lit blue..and supposedly only the second time the
building had been lit for a specific person.

Subject: (exotica) Tipsy/Moon Gass
Date: 14 Dec 1996 21:34:00 -0800 (PST)

Hello,

I was listening to the radio today, the radio being KFJC-FM, 89.7 Los Altos
Hills, CA.  Listening to Gram White and his "Psychedelic Pharmacy" whilst
cruisin' the web and all of a sudden I'm hearing electronic super whacked
out pings and poinks wawawawawawawawawawashooooooooboink!
pingShooooooPOP!...etc comin' from my speakers that sounds incredibly
similar to Dick Hyman, Nick Tagg and Vinnie Bell from Dick Hyman's Moon Gas
lp.
It stopped me dead in my tracks.  It was the instro riffs to Bye Bye Blues.

I immediately called and when he answered I said DUDE!  What is this!!!

He said "Dude, it just went up Wednesday.  It's Tipsy, I'm playing it at
33, it's a 45rpm 12 inch"
He does that _alot_ btw ;)  "It's entertainment man" he says ;)

I remember when the guy was reviewing it and he did mention my name but for
some odd reason they do that from time to time so I didn't really pay that
much attention.
This was it.  Tipsy.  That's what he was reviewing

I told Gram that it sounds a ton like this rekkid I have called Moon Gas
and that's when he said that Moon was in the title.


So what did I do ?  I drove to the station and laid it in him and we
discovered together that it was Bye Bye Blues and he worked it into the mix
and it was beautiful and we and our listeners dug it and it was cool.  It
was the coolist.
It was KFJC

Of course I'm playing it again tomorrow BUT both pieces will be played back
to back.
Hope you liked that little story ;)  Where's my digest been lately ?
Is everyone out chrissmas choppin ?

Happy Holidays and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you all

Sincerely,
Jack

Speaking of Charles Boyer, he stars in the 1963 film "Love Is A Ball", scored by Michel
Legrand.  Just picked up this soundtrack the other day and it is quite delightful.
Charming as ever, Boyer is heard throughout the record.

The film is about a well-planned plot by Boyer to marry off Ricardo Montalban to the
richest girl in the world, Hope Lange.  Instead, Lange falls in love with her chauffeur,
Glenn Ford.  Shot entirely on location on the French Riviera.

Jack - you neglected to mention the title of the Tipsy 12" - it's called
'Nude On The Moon'/'Space Golf' - each track has 2 mixes. One more
'exotic', the other ambient dancey.

>Is everyone out chrissmas choppin ?
Yeah, and ended up blowing the money on a load of records for myself.
The most relevant here being the new 'Blue Juice' compilation on Blue
Note. More of a jazz/soul/r'n'b selection, but notable here for
including Ananda Shankar's 'Dancing Drums'/'Streets Of Calcutta' - a
sitar/percussion/moog/flute fusion, and also Dick Hyman's 'Give It Up or
Turn It Loose' (title probably wrong, but I'm at work). A great
compilation for club DJing.
(The other artsist include gems by Nancy Wilson, Bobby Gentry, and Billy
Preston).

Since there was such a GLUT of moog synthesizer LPs in the late 60s and

memorable ones. It seems like there's at least one moog release for _every_
genre, including country and religion (!). BTW, is there such a thing as a
moog record WITHOUT a cut-out hole? It seems like every one I've ever
seen/bought has one. :)

BTW, where is everyone??

Two posts in one day! I gotta cut down!! :)

Does anyone know anything about "Jayne Mansfield in Las Vegas" from World

Any information about this (previously unknown!) record will be appreciated.

Thanks, Jessica :)

Since Laura took my one of my choices :^), I would choose Sonic Seasonings
by Wendy(Walter) Carlos, however, she did do an album called By Request
which featured, among other things, "What's New Pussycat?"

I just got back from my car and I was listening to Folsom Prison Blues by
the Country Moog; don't know about the album.

There was also the ultra-scary "Black Mass" by a fellow calling himself
Lucifer, which my brother told me years ago was the same guy that did the
theme music for "Untamed World"  I liked it, but I still don't know how we
got this album past Mom.

There apparently is also an album by Martin Denny and his exotic Moog.

Lest we forget, Moog rhymes with "rogue"!

In cyberspace, no one can hear you pronounce,

Brian Phillips

Anyway, my fave MOOG rekkid for both it's weirdness and its
>artistry is THE ELECTRIC ECLECTICS OF DICK HYMAN

It's from "Switched On Nashville" by Gil Trythall- my personal favorite.
He also put out a second album, which I have heard but do not own. That
version of Folsom Prison Blues is *amazing*

Moog Cookbook used a similar effect for the vocals on "Smells Like Teen
Spirit."

Other faves are of course Perrey & Kingsley, Harry Breuer, Jeff Haskell
(who I've been in contact with- he's thinking about reissuing "Switched
On Buck"), Walter Sear/Dick Hyman, etc etc... all the usual suspects...

While we're speaking of "Moog" records in the context of "exotica," I
suppose all the early synthpop (Depeche Mode, Human League, Kraftwerk et
al) don't really count but what about "Music For Parties" by Silicon
Teens? Produced by Daniel Miller, it's got the same sound as "Speak And
Spell" by Depeche Mode but it's all tongue-in-cheek fifties rock covers,
not too far from the Moog Cookbook in spirit, anyway. Came out in
1980...

That's Mort Garson's album - Black Mass By Lucifer.  His similar The
Unexplained is great as well.  Same guy who did Zodiac and The Wozard
of Id.

My list of favorites would have to be topped by Perrey's In Sound
From Way Out and Happy Moog.  Disney's Night Parade be damned!  But
hey, it DOES make a nifty accompianment, don't ya think?  Perrey's
the king of moog pop in my book.  There's such a wide variety of
styles, but for original pop it's Perrey for me thank you.  Really
like Carlos for her unbelievably acute ear and virtuosity, Subotnick,
Henry, Hyman, Hayman, Trythal, Richards and all the rest too though.
And y'know, that Christian album ain't so bad!  But Caldera's Moog
Mass is much more appropriate for the holidays - pain, misery and
fear with especially reverent and spooky sounds!  I play it while
baking cookies.

Happy Holidays everyone!!

That fellow Lucifer has got to be Mort Garson.  Did some really wild stuff,
like Zodiac Cosmic Sounds and the incredibly strange Wozard of Iz.
Electronic Hair Pieces and more.

> There apparently is also an album by Martin Denny and his exotic Moog.

Yes, indeed...backed with Baxter's Moog Rock on one of the "limited edition"
CD's.

other moog lp's...

sid bass - moog espana
w. carlos - many titles
claude denjean - moog, open circuit
tom dissevelt
electric concept orch - moog groove, cinemoog
electric moog orch - star wars and close encounters
richard hayman - genuine electric latin love machine
dick hyman - age of electronicus, moon gas, electric eclectics
johnny keating - astromusical odyssey, space experience
g. kingsley - first moog quartet, music to moog by
enoch light - permissive polyphonics, spaced out (barbarella cover)
mike melvoin - the plastic cow goes moooooog
hugo montenegro - hugo in wonderland (stevie wonder tunes), moog groove and
more!
moog machine - switched on rock
new world electronic - switched on beatles
jj perrey - the happy moog, amazing new pop sound, moog indigo, in sound
from way out
emil richards - stones (psychedelic moog devoted to birth stones)
ananda shankar
walter sear - copper plated circuit
tartaglia - good morning starshine - see the sound gallery 2
gil trythall - switched on nashville/country moog and switched on
moog/nashville gold
ruth white - short circuits
the zeet band - moogie woogie

...and there is more.  not many - just a small fraction - of these are
available on CD...you will have to seek 'em out via mail lists, collectors,
swaps...maybe you'll get lucky and get one for a buck at goodwill.

my favorite happens to be on CD...the In Sound From Way Out.

happy holidays

Subject: (exotica) an exotica Xmas card (of sorts)
Date: 17 Dec 1996 21:10:28 -0600

I just got a wonderful little item in the mail that's so good I've got to
share it with you all. A fellow named Vern Stoltz does a great zine called
"Cannot Become Obsolete," about what he calls "forgotten music" - - a
nicely elastic terms that can encompass the good, the bad, the weird, the
important, the trivial, and more. In each issue, he reproduces covers from
albums in his collection, accompanying each one with a little personal
essay inspired by it - - maybe talking about the music, or about the cover
art, or how some quirky thing about the record reminds him of something
that happened to him fifteen years ago - - you never know where he'll go,
and that's half the fun. It's a very unique and personal approach.

This week, I received the newest issue, Number Three, which is a Special
Christmas Holiday Issue. In it, he reproduces a whole bunch of Xmas holiday
album covers, and manages to loosely string  them together with his
comments as if they were illustrations to one long story. The story is a
bit unwieldy, but I'm impressed that he took on such a challenge and pulled
it off. Definitely the best Xmas card to hit my mailbox this year, and I
bet a lot of you guys and gals would enjoy it too. Issues One and Two are
still available from Vern, too, and I recommend them as well.

Subject: (exotica) Greatest Moog LPs??
Date: 18 Dec 1996 06:18:14 -0800

In the spirit of the season I offer this one. I'd hardly call this the
greatest (or even my favorite in most ways) but no one else has
mentioned it and it does have a real raw (out of tune perhaps?) quality
to it that is so treasured by todays' analoug hounds:

Switched On Santa by Sy Mann with "Electronic Music Engineered by" Jean
Jacques Perrey

Great cover of Santa with the old patchcord Moog! And you know what
Santa spelled sideways is.....

BTW this is one of the LPs I'm selling amongst 2,000 or so others. Check
my homepage:

I forgot who it was, asking about Mort Garson and John Keating. Mort also
did the Zodiac Astrology Series for each of the signs--all twelve! plus the
ones below. Electronic Hair Pieces is outstanding.

Electronic Hair Pieces                   Mort Garson/A&M/SP4209
Black Mass                               Mort Garson/RCA/7311
The Unexplained                          Mort Garson/RCA/ADLI-1217
Zodiac                                   Mort Garson/Electra/EKS-74009
The Wozard of Iz-Electronic Odyssey      Mort Garson/A&M/SP4156

Keating's moog and synth LP's get into the 70's space sound--

An Astromusical Odyssey                 Johnny Keating/Phase 4/SP-44154
Space Experience                        Johnny Keating/EMITWO-393
Space Experience 2                      Johnny Keating/EMI SM11635/1975

I believe these moog LP's to be more obscure--

Electric Tommy                          Joe Renezetti and Tony Luisi/Viva/V36025
The Beatles/Get Back                    World on Moog 3/Dan Records/VC7515
The Electric Symph./The Moog Synth.     Ralph Carmichael/Light /LS-5541-LP

Since I'm already indulging in this I might as well say--Look for the 'One
Hundred One Moogs' in the next (Feb) 'Cool and Strange Music Magazine'
([e-mail]) where Dana is featuring a photo spread of Moog LP's
from my collection and discography of more than 120 Moog LP's. The issue is
dedicated to electronic music with an interview with Jean Jacques Perrey

Will,
     We lived ther 1992-93. MAke sure you pick up a copy of Time Out,
which is great on clubs, comedy, music listings.
     Comedy is terrific in London. Music is all over the place. The TO
listings can guide you. If you like theatre, it doesn't get any better
than in London. Try the half-price ticket booth in Leicester Square,
which is right in the heart of the theatre district. Most non-musicals
are available. The West End Theatre District is also right next to
Chinatown. A great combination.
     You should definitely try a "Sunday Roast" at a pub, a great
tradition. Our favorites were in Hampstead, the woody area of north
London in which we lived. There are several good ones (buy "The Good Pub
Guide" for guidance) but the one that sticks in my mind is The Flask on
Flask walk. There is another pub in Hampstead, I believe it's called the
Holly Bush, that has music (good music) of various sorts.
     Camden Town is a youngish area a little bit down the hill from
Hampstead, with a pretty good flea market, great clubs and music. Time
Out will have details, ' cause the names escape me. Saturdays and Sundays
it moves well -- a good scene. You should also try the Notting Hill area,
in and around the Portobello Rd. market. Third area with a lot of
activity is Islington.
     Food is abysmal. One of the best, decently priced restaurants is a
Belgian beer-and-mussels place in Camden Town called Belgo.
     Enjoy.

I haven't seen the flick, but was informed by the song's publisher that
the specific scene involves an act of auto-eroticism in a trailer park.

P.S. This usage of Esquivel's music in no way constitutes an endorsement of

While traveling up to Santa Barbara on the 101, I caught a glimpse of a grass
hut nestled in a what appeared to be a banana plantation in the small town of
La Conchita (The little shell).  I decided to investigate.  What I found was
one of the few, if not the only, organic banana plantations in California.
What does that have to do with this mailing list you ask?  Well, standing
guard over this humble little produce stand stood not one but two magnificent
carved tiki poles.  The tikis stood about two stories high and were gazing
out at the sun touching down in the blue pacific.  Very cool!  I was stoked
to find a small slice of Polynesia in my own backyard (the bananas were good
too.)  If you are ever in that area check them out, you will be glad you did.
 They also have tasty selection of tropical fruits and plants for sale.

It's called 'Blue Juice' & is compiled by a guy called Deano (or Dino)
who DJ's sometimes at my favourite club (to visit or DJ!) - 'Where's
Jude'. I don't know if this is currently a British Only release but try
www.roughtrade.com, or if you can't find any supplier I'll give you the
number of an excellent local store who do good mail order.
It's the first in the reactivated 'Blue Series' so expect some more to
follow - this one was selected from the EMI vaults.

There's some other great stuff on there - Lou Rawls 'For What It's
Worth', Nancy Wilson's version of 'Ode To Billy Joe', and well - I'm
sure you'll find out. More on the mod/jazz club tip than a pure
E-Z/Exotica release.

     I just picked up an import CD "Latin Percussion With Soul" by Jack
     Costanzo. It's a 1968 reissue where the vocalist Gerrie Woo is
     featured. The cover is worth the price alone. I just wish the music
     matched the cover. "Don't Squeeze The Peaches" is great and the rest
     are ehhh.. pretty good (it's growing on me). It's got a slight go-go
     feel on one track and then it jumps to a mambo feel. It's actually all
     over the place, music wise. But why am I telling you this as you've
     all probably got the LP already.

     I purchased it at Tower Records and it has a sticker on the back where
     apparently you can purchase it over the web. The URL is
     www.musicrama.com  and they have a toll-free number too which is
     1-800-925-2112. Okay, that ughta do it..

Thye secret is to program out every other track featuring the very mediocre
singer, then it's pretty good. My favorite Costanzo is 'Mr Bongo' which was
reissued on Palladium on vinyl about 10 years ago.

Phil mentioned something about Ananda recording new stuff.
I have to say, what I've heard is not that cool.  It is Indian
New Age - that's the best description i can offer.  I think that
Mr. Shankar is a master of hybridizing Indian music and finding a wonderful
niche in pop streams of a given period.  However, currently this formula
has led Ananda to the realm of Kenny G and Yianni.  the CD I picked up
in Chicago in the Indian part of twon was reccomended to me by the owner
as the latest of Ananda's, and a good record in his opinion.  It was dull
to my ears, expecting something current, but as cool and out there as
"Jumpin Jack Flash,' or "Snow Flower."

I have not heard "Streets of Calcutta."  From which album is that song?

I know Ananda has some good releases from the 70's, but his current stuff
should be listened to before you plunk down a piece of change and get
disappointed.

Rare Records in SF, and the owners had not even heard of it.  They typically

Comments on the record would help, too - i'm going strictly on the title and
am under the impression this is electronic (moog) but may have it confused
with something else.

Just last night. I like the symbolism in the visuals; the cavernous drums
on the commercial's version are a little dated even by contemporary
mainstream standards.

I like Barry Adamson's cover (with Louise Ness in the female role) quite
a bit. You can find it on the _Negro Inside Me_ EP.

High Plains Public Radio has the Mancini CD. We never play it. IMHO it
features music composed by Mancini, but he has no other involvement.  I can
only tell this from listening to the music (poorly arranged and
performed...no life, no spark) and reading liner notes, which IF MANCINI
were involved, they would have said so!  But, this is by no means a
definitive ruling.  If it did involve Mancini, I would be very disappointed
in the big M.

"FANTASTICA" RADIO SHOWS NOW AVAILABLE ON SWAP TAPES

contents: what is "Fantastica"?
          what others said about "Fantastica"
          why a swap?
          swap shows details
          technical information
          playlists

what is "Fantastica"?
---------------------

It's my new exotika radio show, aired on local freeform radio "Scorpio" in
Leuven, Belgium. The format is that of a non-stop sound collage, a sonic
expedition through the wonderful world of exotica music, in which songs
alternate with mystery sounds.
............................................................................=
...

what others said about "Fantastica"

"Truly marvelous work!" (Vik Trola)
"I LOVE the tape. It's a little different from our show, but different is
GOOD!" (Peter Ledebur, Music for Better Living)
............................................................................=
...

swip swap swop, or: why a swap?

If you like the idea of finding a brand new audience in the "global quiet
village", and if you'd like to air one of my own shows, then read on.

I'd love to air some other exotica radio shows from around the world, so I
thought of the idea to trade shows.
To make such a swap deal appealing, I cooked 3 VERY special SWAP shows,
containing only exotica from Belgium, The Netherlands, France and Germany,
mostly on (old) vinyl and staying away from too obvious choices.

I'd love to trade any or all of these against a good quality copy or copies
of your show.

Below is more detailed information about each of these swap shows.
............................................................................=
...

swap shows details
------------------

(1)  "BeNeFraDe-X 1 swap" (Fantastica # 12)
     --------------------

This show is guaranteed to amaze! It's the best I ever made, and should be
your first pick.

WITH:
fuzz guitars, twisted twist, Caravan plagiarism, sultry females, alphorn,
birdcalls, religious amateur jazz, parodies, heavy wailing Hammond, wild
percussion, Moog & "woosh" synths, latin rhythms, wordless vocals,
carillon, cool vibes & groovy brass, politicians, trippy rhythms, oriental
flavours, disturbing vocals, twang, sexy funk and nervous jazz!

59 min., fits on a C60 tape. Check out the extended playlist below.
............................................................................=
...

(2)  "BeNeFraDe-X 2 swap" (Fantastica # 15)
     --------------------

More of the same (no duplicate artists though), less mystery sounds and
silly fun stuff, more jazz.

WITH:
dangerous big band, Moog pop, zound effects, finger snapping cocktail jazz,
drums & electronics, whistling, heavenly wordless vocals, Easy tune, Heino
yodelling, Lai soundtrack music, spooky psych pop, didgeridoo, Afro
percussion, hip vocal jazz, a 5 years old kid butchering an already silly
song, grunge guitars and a male soprano voice!

59 min., only fits on a C90 tape. Check out the extended playlist below.
............................................................................=
...

(3)  "Oulala Mix 1 swap" (Fantastica # 17)
     ------------------

This show is filled with 18 SELF-MADE MIXES, featuring all kinds of spoken
word and sound effects.

WITH:
electronic sounds, "stereo action", speed manipulations, weird circus
music, The Worst Guitar Player Of Flanders, wordless vocals, violin abuse,
disco, sound effects & documents, language & guitar playing instructions,
philosophy, whistling, opera, religion, birds, whales, sex in the surf,
Latin cocktail piano, Moog pop, church organ and "crime musique concrete"!

59 min., fits on a C60 tape. Check out the extended playlist below.
............................................................................=
...

All 3 together fit nicely on 2 C90 tapes without breaking any songs in two.
............................................................................=
...

Some technical information
--------------------------

My shows are recorded digitally. I can dub them to compact cassette,
MiniDisk or HiFi VHS (PAL or NTSC); no DAT, sorry.
Best would be to tape your show live on a NEW 120 minute compact cassette
with Dolby C noise reduction.
............................................................................=
...

So, if you want to go ahead and swap shows, then contact me by eMail, and
tell me which show(s) you want, on with kind of tape, your address etc.
Hope to hear soon from all you radio-active exoticans out there in the
global quiet village!

      Hammond again, with an even better, heavy wailing version than Al
      Anthony's.

21. Kamagurka: "Only the lonely (edit)"
      Strange and disturbing a capella version.

............................................................................=
...

(2)  "BeNeFraDe-X 2 swap"
      ------------------

1. Peter Thomas Sound Orchester: "Der Gorilla von Soho"
      I couldn't resist including this really wild and dangerous big band
      music. This ain't no "easy listening": this is the "hard rock" of EZ!
      Loud, fast and mean, with a screaming woman to start it off and electr=
ic
      bass mixed up front. "Woow-factor" 10!
2. Le Panthere Rose: "Le Panthere Rose"
      French 1982 remake heavy on synths and zound effects.
3. Peter Romano: "Hava nagila"
      This Dutch piano version starts in a cocktail mood, but promptly
      moves to finger snapping jazz.
4. Pierre Courbois & Jasper Van 't Hof: "Latinuoso"
      Remarkably straight and melodic piece from these Dutch
      experimental jazzo's.
6. John Woodhouse & Whistler Gerry: "Beautiful dreamer"
      This magic accordion sounds like a Hammond.
      I don't know who Gerry is, but he whistles and imitates
      birds as amazingly well as Ronny Ronalde or Muzzy Marcelino.
7. Pierre Henry: "Too fortiche"
      From the score to the 1963 Maurice Bejart ballet "Messe pour le temps
      present"; groovy rock with mighty electronic outbursts.
8. Michel Legrand: "Summertime"
      Mr. Legrand re-arranges this Gershwin classic in such a way it
      sounds as new, with heavenly wordless vocals.
9. Easy Aloha's: "Aloha"
      The hip Dutch duo Richard Cameron & Gerry Arling, with their
      contemporary popcorn music, which is a nice mix of club sounds and
      easy melodies
10. Heino: "Erzherzog-Johann-Jodler (edit)"
      One of the rare yodel songs from Heino, and his low voice performs
      remarkably well in the higher registers!
11. Francy Boland: "Daffodils"
      Jazzzzz
12. Francis Lai: "The legend of Frenchie King"
      Lai sounds more like Morricone on this one from 1973: wordless
      vocals, a gallopping rhythm and even a harmonica.
13. Helmut Zacharias: "Hurdy gurdy man"
      Helmut goes psych pop! Spooky violin sound!
14. Everything Is Slow: "Mhol"
                        "Attention les voisins vont sonner"
      Two didgeridoo's followed by Authentic Afro percussion...
      from Belgium :-)
16. Claude Bolling: "City life"
      Nervous jazz.
17. Klaus Wunderlich: "Moskito-killer"
      Funny Moog in the good J.J. Perrey tradition.
19. Anarchic System: "Royal summer"
      Truly wonderful rocking French Moog pop, enhanced with brass and
      wordless vocals calling "wowo" or something.
20. France Gall: "Jazz a gogo"
      France Gall performed lots of Gainsbourg songs, but this isn't one
      of those, this is beautiful and hip, up-tempo, vocal jazz, partly
      scatting, partly with lyrics.
21. Five years old kid: "Guanita Banana"
22. Patrick Husson: "Chasing sheep is best left to shepherds"
      "Woow-factor" 10 once again! The other-wordly beauty of Husson's
      (super rare) male soprano voice is combined with the raw power of
      grunge guitars.
............................................................................=
...

(3)  "Oulala Mix 1 swap"
      -----------------

1. Ludwig von 88: "Oulala 2 la mission"
2. Roger et Ses Bruitages: "L'attaque des killer moustiques (stereo MIX)"
      These killer moustiques fly back and forth between your speakers
      in good old "stereo action" tradition.
3. Der Heino an die Kette: "Der Tod verlangsamen (MIX)"
      So you thought Herr Heino has a low barritone voice? Through some
      simple speed manipulation he really hits the bottom notes in this
      horror piece, and sounds like Ivan Rebroff. He's accompanied by a
      chained ghost.
4. Vladimir Cosma et Pierre Henry: "Cassoulet mort (MIX)"
      Joyful French circus music confronted with torture chamber
      "musique concrete" sounds.
5. Jordi Vercauteren: "9th attempt"
      Jordi ended second in the 1995 "Worst Guitar Player Of Flanders"
      contest.
6. Michel Magne et JJ Perrey: "Angelique: espace futur anterieur (MIX)"
      Heavenly strings and wordless vocals. Perrey's electronic "bleeps" and
      other Moog sounds add some spacey, suspense and insolite mood.
7. Jeun musicien maltraitant son violon: "Oulala, mes oreilles!"
8. Pierre Henry et Vladimir Cosma: "Fievre Minestrone (MIX)"
      More circus music confronted with strange, creaking and squeaking
      electronic sounds, that are both creepy and funny.
9. Serge Gainsbourg et Sa Mer: "Sea, sex and sun (MIX)"
      Serge whispers his sexy way through disco and the surf.
10. Wagner's Platoon: "Valkyries ambushed! (MIX)"
      War music.
11. Das Gerhard Trede Ensemble: "Gefahrenzone 1933 (MIX)"
      A chilling collage of sound documents from the years 1933-1945
      backed with seventies electronic music.
12. Frau Emmerich Kalman: "Intro (speed manipulations)"
      Altering the playback speed of music changes the mood
      dramatically: from gloomy to silly.
13. Roger Roger et Pierre Henry: "Contorsions marche (MIX)"
      Pierre Henry's "musique concrete" sounds accentuate the wriggling
      acrobaticy of Roger Roger's original tune, going from circus to
      mystery mood.
14. The Electronic Message Du Salut Orch.: "Tu es perdu moi non plus (MIX)"
      Backed by an instrumental "Je t'aime... moi non plus", this French
      preacher gives a sermon.
15. Louis De Funes et L'Orchestre Majestic: "Heliotropes et voyelles (MIX)"
      De Funes plays Moliere's "Le Maitre de Philosophie", about the
      nature of vowels and consonants, backed by an anonymous French
      whistler.
16. Die Runxendorfer Blasmusik und Die Remmi-Demmis:
    "Trink, Bruderlein, trink... aber nicht so schnell! (speed manipulation)=
"
17. Clara Ebers on speed, Gewandhaus Orchester Leipzig et Les Megapteres:
    "Das Wal Sternenheer (MIX)"
      These five pieces use a Reader's Digest documentary about whales
      and other sea-mammals, mixed with all kinds of fitting music:
      opera LP's played on 45 and 70 rpm, Latin cocktail piano, Moog pop
      and 70's synth music.
18. Jean-Jacques Perrey et Les Joyeux Balaines: "Bossa baleina (MIX)"

Subject: (exotica) Vik's Year End Wrap Up
Date: 21 Dec 1996 16:23:04 -0500

well, it's been quite a swank year! many many fine albums and websites have
sprung up. the cocktail nation became the swank generation as we all proved
the internet is not alienating and began meeting and greeting. NYC, LA and
SF continued to be the focus for the scene in the states, but let's not
forget all the hipsters in florida, ohio, illinois, kansas and practically
everywhere else.
europe saw the might force of jill mingo, robbie's "spaced out" site and
the obsessive cataloging of Johan's Dada'quarium. 1996 saw the great trend
that never was but succeeded in bringing all of together and proving this
is more that just our crazy little obsession. it's the obsession of
thousands and growing a little more each month.

Vik is pleased to have been there in '96 and looks forward to '97. he hears
rumors of many swell re-issues but is sworn to secrecy for a little longer
while the ink dries on the various license agreements. needless to say,
ultra lounge will be back with at least six more (one will be a "new
lounge" collection)...dcc has a few more up their sleeve in the bachelor
pad series...tasty rumors from scamp with the Denny "Hypnotique/Exotica
III" being the first to see the light of day...the soundtrack to New Line
Cinema's "Austin Powers" could prove to have a swank mix of the old and
new...and most likely '97 will be another year in which the powers that be
will continue to deprive us of Dean Elliott's "Zounds! What Sounds"
(...this has been in legal hassles for over two years!!!)

'96 came and went without another Exoticon and we're a little sadder for
that. perhaps '97 will see a series of smaller regional gatherings...anyone
interested in this can contact vik at [e-mail] and we'll
see what kind of dialog gets going.

finally, while it's extremely cliche and trite...the end of the year forces
Vik to look back on '96 and put together a "Best of." Vik invites all those
out there who feel the similar desire to put yours together as well...we'll
collect them and give them space in Vik's Lounge for all the world to see...

Vik's Top 10 Albums
1-Action Plus (Nocturnal Love Feast Records)
2-Espresso Espresso (Deram 535 547)
3-InFlight Entertainment (Deram 535 300)
4-Walter Wanderley "Samba Swing" (Scamp 9704)
5-Squirrel Nut Zippers "Hot" (Mammoth)
6-Dimitri From Paris "Sacrebleu" (Yellow 11)
7-Robert Drasnin "Voodoo" (Bacchus Archives 9)
8-Tipsy (Ashpodel)
9-Martin Denny "Exotica I & II" (Scamp 9712)
10-Shots In The Dark (Del-Fi 2113)

Swankest Item: either of the Leopard Skin covered Ultra Lounge collections

Honorable Mention
Martin Denny "Exotic Sounds" (Capitol 38374)
Gert WIlden "Schulmadchen Reports" (Crippled Dick Hoy Wax 26)
Vampyros Lesbos (Motel 1)
The Exotic Trilogy
Combustible Edison "Schizophonic!" (Sub Pop 313)
Serge Gainsbourg "Couleur Cafe" (Philips 528 949)
Les Baxter "Que Mango" (Scamp 9718)


Happy Holidays from the staff at Vik's and looking forward to 1997 with all
of you!

The Laserlight Mancini CD is actually a reissue of Kimberly 11012, =
"Percussion in a Tribute to Henry Mancini". This was part of an odd =
series of LPs from the "Frankie Capp Percussion Group"; most of them =
took old Dave Pell big-band arrangements from the Crown Records =

series were totally new performances, and I think the Mancini was one =
of them.

Kimberly was one of the many labels of Premiere Records, which also =
put out Crown, Directional Sound, etc. The real problem with the =
Laserlight CD is that it is mono, despite saying stereo on the =
outside back cover. The Kimberly LPs were part of a series called =
"Stereo in Motion" or something like that, with lots of separation =
and directional effects.

What's curious about the Laserlight being mono is that the stereo =
tracks from this LP still exist. Several cuts appear in various =
big-band collection sets on some Canadian label, credited to "The =
Starlite Orchestra"--and these cuts are in true stereo.

Date: 21 Dec 1996 15:06:53 -0800

i asked about this the other day, and thanks to a tip, located it at the
local Tower (13.99).  Louise Huebner's Seduction Through Witchcraft.
Probably not for everyone, but it sure is my cuppa joe.  Instantly made my
top five list of incredibly strange recordings.

At one time the official witch of Los Angeles county, she wrote the book
"Power Through Witchcraft".  She spread her knowledge of the art of occult
via her syndicated columns, magazine articles, radio shows and this album,
which came out on CD not long ago.  It is suggested that it be listened to
in a dark room while burning incense and one candle.  I heard it came out
around 1974.

a couple of track titles to give you the idea and set the mood...

the demon spell for energy
the turkish bean spell for tender love
seduction spells from around the world
the emotional bondage spell
orgies - a tool of witchcraft
witches and wizards

...now, where did i put my incense....

Date: 23 Dec 1996 01:34:24 UT

Here is a couple more Mort Garson albums that were not mentioned in #119.
1)  Music For Sensuous Lovers by "Z"  (This was released on Sensuous Records
in 1971.  It includes two side long pieces Climax One and Climax Two.  Both
pieces are very dark Moog noodlings with female sex sounds overlayed on top.
Both sides reach a huge climax.  This guy was really great.  I have an extra
copy if anyone is interested.
2)  Plantasia, Homewood Records H101  (This album was an LP made for
expressively for your plants.  They don't say what kind of plants but being
Mort Garson I can only guess what kind he grew or smoked while recording this
thing.  It was released in 1976 and came with a booklet.

Are there any others?

Wow- I never read the liner notes for these records close enough to
realize they were Mort Garson! I have a couple copies of each, I
think... "Music For Sensuous Lovers" is truly amazing- we used to scare
our neighbors with that one. Plantasia's a bit dull, but not as dull as
some of the other plant-music records I have. My copy has a big sticker
on the cover that says "Compliments of W. Simmons Mattress Factory."
Funny- you'd think that sticker would be on the "Music For Sensuous
Lovers" record instead!!!

this is not going to be for everyone, but i really like it - i've also learned that the
electronic background is supplied by Louis and Bebe Baron (Forbidden Planet).

very original and strange, but not in an evil way...i found it to be quite sensual -

Astrud and Joπo? She must be some relation - same sleepy vocals and
English/Portuguese Eloquence... Anyway, it occurred to me that people on

"Longwave Instruments' US$125 box, by comparison [to a full-fledged
theremin] has one antenna to control pitch, a small built-in speaker,
an on-off switch, volume control, a single audio output, pitch-trim
control for setting the output range, and little else.  There's no
volume antenna: you'll have to make do with a volume pedal instead -
the sort guitarists use - but at least you can carry the Pocket

"Puppet Masters" (Colin Towns, 1994)
"Midas run/the house/the night visitor" (Elmer Bernstein/same/Mancini)
Are any of these recommendable?

as for the "Cry of the Banshee/Edgar Allan Poe", i found that the music of

This is _such_ an amazing record of you can find it.  Trust me on this one
;)  Bud Shank, Bob Cooper, Larry Bunker, Frank Rosolino, Pete/Conte Candoli
plus all of the other west coast studio/jazz scene.  1961 I believe

Kimberly was also a reissue label for Pacific Jazz/World Pacific.  There is
some _really_ amazing and beautiful 50's jazz stuff on Kimberly

Date: 26 Dec 1996 20:04:01 -0500

Has anyone on the list ever seen the Mills Brothers' "Great Hawaiian Hits"
LP? The giant tiki on the cover looks exactly like the giant tiki on the
original "Forbidden Island" cover (the unshiny one). I know RCA and Liberty
reused different shots and props, but I don't think I've ever seen a label
hopping prop (at least not a major label). Exactly how many twin covers are
out there? (besides the famous Martin Denny ones).

Hoping everyone had a nice holiday, Jessica :)

Hi folks

Following up on Anandar Shankar, thanks Clark for posting info about his
new recordings, I can't say I'm too surprised... yeah I agree one should
always try & get a listen to something one's not too sure about, perhaps
especially "comeback" stuff.

The 1975 album that features "Streets of Calcutta" and "Dancing Drums",
both of which IMHO come highly recommended, was "Anandar Shankar & Friends"
which I think only came out on EMI India. Anyhow these two cuts reappear on
the excellent EMI reissue "Blue Juice" which has lots of other good
hard-to-find jazzy/soul/latin type sounds on it too. If anyone wants a
track listing just lemme know.

Wishing y'all a COol Yule

swingingly

Subject: (exotica) Greetings From New Subscriber
Date: 28 Dec 1996 09:06:11 -0500

Season's Greetings from a relatively new subscriber to the Exotica
List.  Here's a little bit about myself and how I got "hooked."

My dad, born in 1921, has always been a pipe organ buff, theatre organ
(like the "Mighty Wurlitzer") in particular.  He used to listen to organ
programs on the radio while growing up.  So as I was growing up in New
Jersey and Massachusetts (born in 1957), I was surrounded by theatre
organ records and the theatre organ preservation movement spearheaded by
the American Theatre Organ Society and its local chapters around the
country. To make a long story short, I play the organ, myself, on a
semi-professional basis, and I have a fairly good knowledge of American
popular muscial styles and songs from shows and movies from 1900 through
the 1940s.  Then, of course, when I was a kid, I followed the Beatles
and some of the rock scene.

While my dad was the right age to accumulate a good collection of
exotica, SABP, etc., HE DIDN'T!  In my education of musical styles, I
SKIPPED THE FIFTIES!

So here I was one day a few months ago, surfing the net looking for
biographical information on one of my favorite theatre organists, Buddy
Cole (most of you probably know Buddy as a Hammond organist or pianist),
when I found The Exotica Standards web page.  WOW, was I blown away!  I
knew many of the titles, having heard many of them played by theatre
organists.  But this was my first discovery of the resurgence of
interest in these songs and the varied stylistic treatments that
proliferated in the fifties and early sixties.

Since then, I have been haunting a local used record store for vinyl and
buying CD reissues.  I must have bought over 100 LPs in the last two
months. Fortunately for my wallet, the movement has yet to reach
Jacksonville, so these records are going cheap (many for $5 a piece, in
excellent condition).

I'm particuarly fond of Martin Denny and Les Baxter.  I hadn't heard of
either of them before!  Though George Wright's 1950s recording of Quiet
Village is legendary in theatre organ circles.  This has been a big
musical discovery for me, and I'm having lots of fun with it.

And this list has been very informative and entertaining!  Season's
Greetings to you all!

     I'm not a vinyl collector myself, but for those interested, there's
a good, cheap cache of 60s-era EZ at a new place in Soho. It's the Used
Book Cafe at 126 Crosby Street, run by the wonderful folks at Housing
Works. Stopped in yesterday, and saw dozens of Mantovani, Percy Faith,
Lawrence Welk, and many more obscure works -- all at $1.00 each, a price
that tempted even me.

S.D. Burman and is truly lovely.  She made it big  7 or 8 years ago
with her phenomenal album of modernized gazhals [sp] called
Qareeb which for weeks and weeks never left my turntable.  Amusingly,
the liner notes mention Esquivel and Morricone as comparisons, funny
how things sometimes converge.  Just gorgeous!

Hello everybody!
I'm a newbie from Italy, very interested in exotica and lounge culture. I'm
very interested in all the messages, because I'm trying to understand more
of this exciting music and culture. I hope I'll be able, as time will go by,
to give infos about italian exotica as I'm trying to find out this kind of
records.
I'd like to know something about Helmut Zacharias and his Magic Violins. I
found a couple of albums, and I'd like to know something more about the man
and his music. Would someone help me! Thanks!

Laura,

Herman Stein wrote the music for IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, plus other great '50s sci-fi
movies, including THIS ISLAND EARTH (employing lots of spooky electronic effects) and
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE.  Music from all three is included in THEMES FROM CLASSIC
SCIENCE FICTION, FANTASY AND HORROR FILMS on Varese Sarabande.  It's an old 3-track
stereo recording for Coral Records by the Dick Jacobs Orchestra, still available on CD.

Well, it was Herman Stein and another composer named Gertz and possibly a
few others had their hands in it somewhere...at that time Universal did
not credit the composers who worked on their lesser films, and it was
frequently a collaborative venture. The Dick Jacobs atrocity is really a
miserable performance bearing little relation to the sound of the
original tracks. Much better are two new CDs of "Monstrous Movie Music"
that go to great lengths to duplicate the orchestrations and balances of
the original tracks, only in up-to-date sound.

Maybe it was produced by Joseph Gershenson - I don't know off hand
I don't think it was ever commercially released

Did you have your 3 D glasses with you at the time ?
