Bert's Caravan does get the thumbs up. It is not so obvious and zany as The
Three Suns' - just very, very well arranged, subtly brilliant. (I think
it's off the Polydor album "Love that"). Since Chaquito has been mentioned
- - I discovered his highly swinging Latin work-out of "Caravan" this morning
on the LP Hot Cha Cha Cha.

About 2 years ago a CD was released called "Mission Impossible" under John
Gregory and His Orchestra. (I can find out the catalogue number if needed).
The CD is a selection off his TV and movie theme LP's between the early
60's and mid-70's. It has about twenty tracks and contain some of the best
versions of theme standards I know - from crime jazz ("Johnny Staccato",
"The Untouchables") to funky 70's stompers like "The Six Million Dollar
Man" and "Kojak". The percussion is especially strong, often with a slight
Latin influence. There's also a Chaquito track on the Karminsky
Experience's Inflight Entertainment CD.

Subject: (exotica) Attileo Mineo
Ingemar had asked me what Mr. Mineo did after/before/his entire life as a
livelihood.
Just got off the phone with him and he told me he is going to send me ALL
of the
write ups, press clippings and whatever from day 1
I felt a little uncomfortable asking him because we had never really spoken
about it.
He was a musician, a composer and his entire life he has made a living with
music.
He played, composed, arranged and performed everything from jazz to pop to
classical and opera and everything in between
That's why he has thousands of "scores" all around his home in Tacoma, WA
If you have read the liner notes, you will have read that he has been
working on an opera and NOW he is ACTUALLY DOING IT, on the WEB and on his
COMPUTER! with very real and great great vocalists and musicians.
It's going to happen:)
He told me he was with EPIC for awhile and in 1958 he had a great agent
name of Leo Diamond!! I didn't know that, it's so funny, and this Leo
Diamond (no, not the harmonica player exotique) signed him with some agency
that I can't remember the name of:)
I will find out more as time marches on and then of course, you all will
find out more.

> One of my favorite Caravans is The Ventures live version, in Tokyo, 1965.
Is this from the Ventures On Stage album?
Is it me, or is the audience response on this record a pathetic repeating
loop of crowd noise?
Why in the world would they do this? If they were going to dub it in, they
could've at least made an attempt at realism.
I think this is an unusual Ventures track in that there is a relatively
free, flamboyant, and lengthy guitar solo.
Jimmy B, you beat me to the punch with Bert K!
The fuzztone guitar really makes this one work from the get-go.
I'll put in a vote for Billy Mure's Supersonic Guitars' version, but it is
more his general sound that I like.

BITE HARD the music de wolfe studio sampler (1972 -1980)
The 10th album release on the BBE label comes from the soundtrack division
within the company and represents a new direction for BBE. However, just as
with all BBE releases, this is music without compromise. No fillers - just
killers.
Founded in 1909 by Meyer De Wolfe to cater for silent films, Music De Wolfe
quickly established a high reputation. With the advent of radio and TV the
company became a busy arena for talented young composers and musicians to
showcase their innovative work.Their infamous session men (including Alan
Hankshaw, Alan Parker and Nick Ingram) are now considered by many to be the
true musical originators of their time.
They experimented with a myriad of fresh techniques in the studio and
contributed to many classic British television series such as The Sweeney,
Whodunnit, Man About The House and The Professionals.
Although the names of these tracks will probably not mean much to most,
this music will be recognisable to all as the theme music to a generation
of TV programmes. The descriptions should help those of you who are having
trouble imagining.
Cat no: BBE LP / CD 010
HARD HITTER (pacy, forceful) THE HAWK (earthy, driving, featuring synthesiser)
POWER SURGE (mid-tempo, beaty, bass and drums) SPIRO
(driving percussive with long dramatic notes) COLLECT (powerful active theme)
MAIN CHANCE (moody, beaty, featuring synthesiser) HOGANS THING
(tense, bluesy, medium slow) NIGHT MOVES (slow, furtive, moody) SUNKEN SHIP
(deep, drifting, bubbling with percussion) ROCK BED 1(rock style, neutral)
HOLD BACK (powerful, semi dramatic, medium slow) TRIP WIRE (dramatic,
pulsing beat) CONDITION RED (ominous, mechanical, repetitive) HOT ICE
(beaty, syncopated flute feature) SOUNDS UNUSUAL (funky, weird, semi
mysterious)
MANTARAY (slow, drifting into beaty, swirling atmosphere)
Funky Sitar Man (Bill Ravi Harris And The Prophets)
The combination of the sitar, a classical Indian instrument, with the
contemporary raw funk sound of a James Brown style rhythm section may sound
unlikely to some. However, anyone who has the experience of hearing Ravi
Harris natural sound will be tempted to re-originate the sitar as an
instrument rooted in the funk.
This album is the product of a session that lasted days and resulted in
over forty tracks being laid down. What appears here is the best of that
work - original material mixed with funk classics. Harris material has
remained unreleased (apart from one single) until now. Now is the time to
give the music the chance it missed 20 years ago, so turn the lights down,
turn the hi-fi up and turn yourself on to the long awaited groove of THE
FUNKY SITAR MAN!!! Cat no: BBE LP / CD 002

This version is from the 1995 EMI cd, "Live In Japan '65" which seems to be the
entire March 5, 1965 Tokyo Kosei Nenkin Hall show in original sequence. I would
say uncut, but you never know. It has a genuine live audience (even a polite
scream of excitement in the middle of their INTENSE "Pipeline" cover). And
between-song patter in English and Japanese by local club MC, Bing Conception
(who also translated for a 15 minute Q&A session during intermission, according
to the liner notes). If you want to hear the Ventures in a raw, "you are there
on the stage" form, I really recommend this cd. It changed the way I look at
them. They were a hell of a strong live act -- hitting as hard as any punk band
ever did.

The one coupled with "Hawaiian Wedding Song" (no pun intended), right?
I have one. It should be around 1969 or 1970 not 1963. I remember
writing a letter to get the one from the sponsor at that time (it was a
sales promotion item not for sale). If it had been 1963, I wouldn't
have known how to write ;-) The household popularity of Andy Williams in
Japan in the late 60s owed a lot to his weekly-aired TV show on NHK TV.
(According to my source, "The Andy Williams Show" was aired here only in
1966, though.)

Subject: (exotica) briefee on SF
I was in San Francisco last weekend and checked into the Salvation Army
Thrift Store on Valencia (26th?). There: 50 cents a record. Very
difficult to paw through. I had to fix the shelves to prevent them from
bending the records underneath! Anyway, found a bunch of TIME LPs that may
turn out to be interesting (I'll know when I get my package which I mailed
last Monday).
Community Thrift, at about 17th and Valencia, has half its records in nice
bins and the other half in shelves underneath...roughly organized by genre
(though you shouldn't trust this entirely: some records defy boundaries).
Its a $1.50 a record. I found a great Edmundo Ros Phase 4 LP with Tiki
artwork on the cover and some other interesting LPs.
The Book Bay at Fort Mason Center still has some records...and they cost $1
each. Most are classical, but I found some interesting records mixed in.
I found a Nat King Cole version of El Choclo I am interested in hearing.
MacDonald's Books in the Tenderloin district looks really ratty, but I
found some interesting records there in an only half hour search (these I
brought back myself in the plane...da plane, da plane):
Larry Elgart Music in Motion MGM SE 4028. Another one of those 21
Channel Sound records (I believe I have two others in the series). Not
spectacular, but interesting.
Si Zentner Music That's Going Places Liberty RC-1. An unusual number
from the run of the mill Liberty releases because this must have been some
promotional item for Royal Crown Cola, as this was marked "Royal Crown Cola
Album of Hit Tunes." This is merely a compilation of stuff from seven
Zentner Liberty releases being pushed at the time.
Charles Magnante Roman Spectacular Vol. 2 Grand Award 374. Hey, with
Terry Snyder and Dick Hyman, how can you miss? Its pretty good. I have
another Magnante on the GA label and like his stuff.
Now, I know I could have found these eventually in Portland...but the
prices weren't TOO unreasonable and the condition for almost every LP I got
was excellent. I guess I did want to prove something: it is possible to
find interesting used records in SF that don't cost a lot.
Oh, just an aside: my 386 SX-16's hard drive crashed...so I did what I have
long wanted to do, get a new Pentium 233 mhz. However, I did lose my email
info. Please feel free to email me with URL's you may have sent along to
the list in the past...now that I can truly do some incredible web surfing
(I just got off Jack Diamond's site...saw the whole thing faster than I
would have believed...and on a vey nice 17 inch color SVGA display).
