Subject: Re: (exotica) Shorty Rogers & Oz
<< Does anyone know anything about a Shorty Rogers/Giants lp covering songs
from The Wizard of Oz (I don't have the exact title, but the cover has a
seated Shorty surrounded by dancing cartoon Oz characters >>
Released on RCA in 1959:
The Wizard Of Oz and other Harold Arlen Songs
you got the cover right - the characters look as if they are made from paper.
5 OZ favorites covered west coast style. not the afro-cuban sound, though.
2 trumpets, 2 trombones, 2 saxes, Bunker on vibes, Kessel on guitar, piano,
bass and drums. Big, BIG sound with fantastic solo work.
I was pleasantly surprised to see it is available on CD as a Spanish import on
BMG. includes the original cover. Tower may even have it.

Subject: (exotica) "Score" Lists
I love them score lists!!
It's nice to see what's to be had out there. These lists often contain
detailed descriptions of the contents of the records that would not have
been provided in other contexts. Not many on this list would otherwise
sit down and compose synopses of records, so in that respect, they have
immense value outside of the opportunity to crow over a "steal." (Which
should be tolerated to a certain degree among friends, no?)
Some folks do have better things to do than getting down and dirty in
the stacks, and that's cool - but I hope that won't cast those of us who
thrift out of necessity or artistic expression in a bad light.
I have printed and put some of these lists in a binder that I am going
to keep in my car. Sometimes I go braindead in record stores and can't
focus myself in any one direction. Between these lists, my own want
lists, and other references I'm compiling, I hope to get a little more
efficient and stop wandering aimlessly from bin to bin.

Ya better also keep a list of everything *you've* got.
You wouldn't believe how many times I've brought home
a record I already have!

Don't know the title (Jack Diamond probably would since he's a west coast jazz
fan), but I've seen this reissued on CD on RCA's Spanish import label. Same
label reissued Shorty's assay of The Nutcracker, which takes quite a few
liberties with Tchaikovsky (I always toss "The Swingin' Plum Fairy" onto my
Beat X-mas tapes). I'd expect the record in question has Shorty playing fast
and loose with Harold Arlen's classic melodies.

Subject: (exotica) CD Review: Air
Group - here's a review of Air's "Moon Safari" that I wrote for today's
issue of 'The Rep', a weekly entertainment guide published here in
Phoenix. Peruse and enjoy!
MOON SAFARI
AIR
(SOURCE/CAROLINE)
Break out the wraparound shades - the debut album from the French
instrumentalist duo of Jean-Benoit-Dunckel and Nicolas Godin, otherwise
known as Air, has arrived.
A decidedly retro-70s affair, Moon Safari looks back to the age when
synthesizers conveyedsterile, intergalactic funkiness (think Kraftwerk,
Giorgio Moroder, Gary Numan, early Devo, etc.) If it sounds like a
one-joke idea, think again - Air rises above the level of kitsch
gimmickry through pop smarts, especially evident on two tracks featuring
Beth Hirsh's pensive, Sarah McLachlan-ish vocals. The end results make
the disc much more subtle and varied than expected.
Fittingly, the best songs most obviously pay homage to earlier artists:
"Ce Matin La"'slush strings and wah-wah guitars re-create the perfect
pop of Burt Bacharach, and the vocoder-enhanced choruses of "Remember"
recall the cheesy grandeur of "Xanadu"-era Electric Light Orchestra.
With not a bad track in the bunch, Moon Safari is perfect mood music for
a trip around the Milky Way in a souped-up '78 Trans-Am.

If it's not too late before you go to press, you spelled Beth Hirsch's name
wrong.
Also, I think she sounds a hell of a lot like Karen Carpenter, which doesn't
mean she doesn't sound like Sarah McLachlan, cuz I don't know Sarah that well.
Does anyone know of anything else Beth has done, because she sounds fantastic on
this disc.

Subject: (exotica) "Wanted dead or alive": spaghetti western compilation cd
"Wanted dead or alive" (CAM, Italy) is a truelly excellent comp of
soundtrax from Italian westerns. the 20 tracks (totalling 68 minutes) all
feature one or more of the typical ingredients of the genre: whistling,
harmonica (mouth organ), humming choirs, solo trumpet or banjo or spanish
guitar, lyrical strings, galopping horse snare drums, andbeautiful yet sad
(or vice versa) melodies.
several of the soundtracks featured here are released fully by CAM too, so
it's a nice introduction.

Don't apologize, Jessica! A few years back thrift stores were the *only*
place you could find this music! Has everybody forgotten that? It was only
a pioneer generation of "bottom feeders" who rescued this music from total
oblivion. . .
Even now I would still rather spend a dollar each, on 17 unknown scrounge-o
LPs (in the hopes of discovering some forgotten gem), rather than plunk it
all down for one price-guided, "expert-approved", Goldmine-graded album in
a collector store. It's just more fun!
How else would I have stumbled across that truly bizarre harpischord "Quiet
Village" cover? That one will not be in ANY price guide I promise you. And
if I do occasionally score one of the "famous" ones, so much the better.
I still feel like there is so much to learn about this music. . . "so who
is Al Caiola again?" How could you even *know* who to spend your $40 per LP
on, before you had socked away your first 100 thrift-store discoveries. . .
started to trace the names that overlap between albums. . . figured out who
really knocks you out. . . If none of this had been available at
thrift-store prices, I probably would have gone into collecting something
else entirely. (Wood-grain toaster ovens?)
A british anthropologist named Michael Thompson wrote a hilarious article
in the 70s called "Rubbish Theory." (Later it became a chapter in his book
of the same name--larger university libraries might have it.) He was
writing about the strange process where cultural artifacts drop out of
fashion, and then literally become "taboo" for a while. (He was actually
writing about buildings and whole neighborhoods! --But the principle
applies on all scales.)
During this phase where something has become "rubbish," only a few cranks
want anything to do with it. . . but soon they are followed by avant-garde
trendies, then collectors, then a full-blown phalanx of archivists,
scholars, and "heritage" organizations. This process has happened over and
over again in different contexts (It's kind of hilarious to see it
happening now with Rock and Roll!)
But where does it leave us, those original cranks? Forgotten and despised,
that's where.
So say it loud, I'm a bottom-feeder and proud!

Of course. Record dealers perform a service like any other. Some of them
are kind of skanky, some of them are like old pals, but most of the ones
I've dealt with are honest, at least.

Subject: (exotica) Nothing Strange
i have never seen more deceptive record cover art as this LP i just picked up.
SOMETHING STRANGE - Michael Strange
RKO Unique Records - ULP125
full, close up photo of a skeleton lying in a coffin - part of the bones still
look like they have blood or bits of flesh on them. Across the top, in
creepy, yellow lettering are the words, "Something Strange". The same label
that but out the Leona Anderson "Music To Suffer By". Oh Boy! *Rubbing my
hands in anticipation of a score*
started reading the liner notes - who is this Michael Strange? that's when i
had my first clue that it was too good to be true. Folk songs? A Balladier?
A wandering minstral? Of course (i thought to myself), the songs are full of
dark, twisted lyrics and weird effects. they MUST be, with a cover like this.
took it home and got nothing but straight forward Irish folk songs. like burl
ives.
funny, huh?

A 10" single ("Miner's Son") by Beth was just released this past week
on the Artefact label out of France. It's produced by Air.

Subject: (exotica) Bell, Book and Candle (and a cowboy)
This coming week's movie with the highest list-interest factor is "Bell, Book
and Candle" (1958), airing Friday night/Saturday morning at 4:00 am (eastern
standard time) on A&E. It's one I haven't seen, but on my continuing journey
through the list archives (circa August '96), I found an enthusiatic thread on
it. Stars James Stewart, Kim Novak, bongo-beatin' Jack Lemmon, Ernie Kovacs and
Hermione Gingold. It's a witchcraft comedy -- supposed to include a very hip
witches' nightclub.
Another movie mentioned more recently here airs a half hour earlier on TCM --
"Midnight Cowboy" (1969). I would imagine there are likely to be some cuts made
on that channel.

Subject: (exotica) "song-poem" prices
Hi - This posting isn't strictly about "exotica," but I know there
are other collectors of "song-poem" records on the list, sometimes
referred to as "MSR music," and hope it's reasonably "on topic."
Recently there was discussion on the list about the extreme variation
in pricing for "exotica" and so-called "incredibly strange music."
In other words,many times we find our gems in thrift shops, but they
also can fetch much higher prices in certain situations.
My question is this - what are people's experiences with the
prices for song poem records, now that they have become collectable,
at least to some of us. I've seen 45's from $ .50 to $10, and lp's
for up to $15. I've been thinking about selling some of my
collection, and I'm wondering what the market will bear. I feel a
little weird about it, because, as a collector, I don't want to see
prices become more inflated. On the other hand, as a person who
could use the money, I'm interested in getting the best price I can,
and I've heard quite a few people say (even seasoned thrift shop
veterans) that they've bought the cd compilations, but never come
across the actual records.
I would be interested in feed back from others about this and hope it
isn't too far "off topic" for this list.
thanks,
Michael
