Las Vegas Grind, Part 1 (Strip, CD-00102)
Las Vegas Grind, Part 2 (Strip, CD-00304)
Jungle Exotica (Strip, CD-STRIP005)
Last I checked, these were out of print - but who knows. The CD
collections combine the earlier vinyl releases back in the 80's
on Crypt. As far as I can tell, these songs are pulled from
45's that were at one time included in old stag magazines back
in the 50's and early 60's. Good luck trying to find
information about the bands - most of them are as obscure as
the magazines they were stuffed in.

Okay so since the first disc is a boot, I am to assume that the second is as
well. Therefore, I'm on my own as far as finding it, right? Any ideas? I
noticed that you said that Savage Kick is a comp bootleg, is juke joint
rockers, as well? These sound like worthy additions to my fringe collection.

Subject: LV Grind
The two LV Grind disks, Jungle Exotica, Swing For A Crime, Frolic
Diner vol 1 & 2, and Land of 1000 Dunces: Best of the Bug-outs are
some of my favorite disks of all time. I've found all of them at
Antone's in Austin (a great music shop that does mail order... not
catalog, tho). The Jungle Exotica and LV Grind disks are the best by
far. Another good disk slightly in this vein is Shakin' Fit. I've had
"Groovy" from LV Grind on my answering machine for over a year now.
"Little Boy" is a classic... very raunchy.
What do you all think of the Robern Drasnin "Voodoo" reissue? How
about the Robert Michum "Calypso Is Like So" reissue?
Found a copy of "Shock" by the Creed Taylor Orchestra and "Fire
Goddess" by Webley Edwards for a buck each in EX+ condition recently,
as well as Mancini's "More Music From Peter Gunn" for a quarter in
good shape.

Paul --
I've always lived by the maxim that the cover is an integral part of the
package, and its absence or poor condition will reflect on the overall
value of the record. That's why the majority of folks provide two grades
(cover/vinyl) for LPs. Some people could care less, but for the most part
record collectors want nice covers.
Most record guides go so far as to state that the cover is worth 50% of the
value, but this is not a hard and fast rule; depends a lot on which record
you're talking about.
If I come across a nice LP sans cover I usually put it on a shelf and wait
until I stumble across a nice cover with a beat LP (which is more often
than not the case).
Hope this provides a modicum of guidance...

True enough, although I must point out to fans of the Beach Boys/Jan & Dean
surf sound that Capitol's "Wayne Newton Collector's Series"[CDP 7 916342]
contains his rare 45 "Comin' On Too Strong" (written by Gary Usher;

The heavy duty/die cut covers were the original Stereo Action sleeves.
These were the ones given away with the RCA stereos. I know Esquivel's
"Latin-Esque" had 60,000 of those printed, and I'm sure it's a similar
number for the full series (19 titles).
The plain covered LP's were the one's sold in stores, of which they
probably pressed up a few hundred thousand. I believe they were released a
few months after the initial pressings, but I could be wrong on that.
'Moovin......." was the last entry in the series and is one of the rarer
titles.

About Robert Drasnin "Voodoo". I bought the original of this a couple years
ago and wasn't particularly impressed and was very surprised when I played
the reissue in a shop and realised I had it!!! Fairly average exotic music
I'd say. Stick to early Martin Denny and Les "God" Baxter. Or Eden Ahbez.
They are brill examples of exotic music. This is only one step above Arthur
"loungebore" Lyman.

I liked Robert Michum's cd, he is of course not the greatest singer, but
he has this cheezey suave kind of thing going on. Oh and the track
"Beauty is only Skin deep"--great song, the man certainly has issues.
Oh I recently checked out Walter Wanderley's new relaese (Scamp) It was
cool bossa nova with a twist.
On a side note, I've recently been into Louis Prima and Sam Butera. Can
anyone suggest any Sam Butera albums, also is he still around?

Interesting enough when it was released it did not great reviews at
all. I think many over the years have realized what a great recording it
was. I sure would rank it up there with the best.

I must agree, I heart Lyman, my recent purchase has a great rendition of

I have been waiting for *YEARS* for Walter Wanderly to be re-released on CD.
I picked up "Samba Swing!" as soon as it hit the shelves and I wasn't
disappointed. Once you get "Summer Samba" going through your head it is
impossible to dislodge it. And this album has two (!) recordings of it, one
with vocals by Astrud Gilberto!

I'm also nuts for Louis, Keely and Sam. CD Now lists 5 CDs of Sam as a leader:
HOT NEW ORLEANS NIGHTS
BY REQUEST
SHEER ENERGY
VOL. 1-TRIBUTE TO LOUIS PRIMA
VOL. 2-TRIBUTE TO LOUIS PRIMA
This isn't a recommendation, as I haven't heard any of them. The first was
released by the Bear family in Germany so it's about $20. The other 4 are
by the Jasmine label, which has also released some of Keely's solo work.
Last I heard, Keely and Sam were still performing in Las Vegas.

I'm not much into CDs and my whole collection would fit in a milk
crate. My LP collection occupies 24 peach crates and if it was
put end to end would stretch to almost 40 feet. Then there's
about 6 milk crates of 78's and a few hundred 45's.
