That'll be Future Sound Shock then - not heard it myself but I gather
apart from this track it's pretty average.

I think my favourite version so far has to be the Three Suns.  And
don't forget Jimi Tenor's distorted grungey electronic version
amongst many thousand others!

From: [e-mail] (Jonathan M Perl)
Subject: (exotica) Santo & Johnny

I have recently become an S&J obsessive and have gathered the following:

- - the song 'slave girl' was actually recycled just three albums later as
the song 'Cairo' on the LP 'Around the world'.  Same recording exactly,
just with a different name.

- - The only CDs on the market seem to be the Black Tulip release mentioned
by Johan (apparently there are some questions about the sound quality on
this one; I haven't heard it) and 'the best of santo and johnny', a 1997
Canadian release.
I have the latter of these.  It has a 20 or 25 tracks, including most of
the tracks from the coveted first album (but not 'slave girl'), some of
which are in stereo.  However, the liner notes are sparse and the other
tracks are not sourced, so it is hard to tell where they are from.  I
gather that they are from the second album 'Encore', and from various
45s.  Overall it's pretty great, but when you listen to some of these
alongside someone like Roy Smeck, there is a clear difference in quality.
 On some of the tracks from 45s, the playing is too out of tune for my
ears.

I assume there is some legal problem with reissuing the CDs, as the vinyl
prices are sky high, yet only these two under-distributed titles seem to
exist.

- - The album I actually like best is Offshore (CALP 11). This is a
sea-themed album produced by Mort Garson.  It is a seriously beautiful
record, with great sound effects, haunting choruses (in one song this
reminds me of Esquivel's 'harlem nocturne') and great renditions of
familiar tunes.  Someone should reissue it.

- - I have the first five LPs (except 'come on in); can anyone recommend
anything they did after that?  I know they did an album of beatles
covers, but am not sure what happened after that.
- - I also gather that Johnny Farina released some records on his own.
Anyone know about that?

Any further info would be appreciated by me.  Sorry to drone on.

regards
Jonny

Subject: Re: (exotica) Three Suns

I hesitate to ask, but has any Three Suns material been released other than on
various artist compilations?  Are there any Three Suns comps or re-releases?

The only album I have is _Warm and Tender_ which I bought not knowing anything
about them.  It's not that great as they've compromised their threesome by
adding "romantic strings" which means, well, schlock.  In fact, most of it is
strings and you can hardly hear the Three Suns at all.  :(  I've since heard
their good stuff (Space Age Pop Vol 1) and it's fan-friggin'-tastic.  Anyway,
I'd say stay away from _Warm and Tender_ (and it's sister album with strings),
except for what is definitely one of the most bizarre songs in recorded music
history: Fly, Butterfly, which has Flight of the Bumblebee-type strings zipping
wildly over a staggeringly slow rendition of the song by the Suns.  Not _fun_ to
listen to even, really, just very very unsettling.  So, it may be worth a
quarter (that's what I paid) but I don't think it's worth much more.

Any other takes on this album?

Peter

An unusually high volume of finds this past weekend.....

Somebody unloaded their Bond soundtrack collection, I'm not a big fan of
these soundtracks since most of the tracks sound like, well - soundtrack
music!!!!  Some of the title songs are cool though.
Thunderball
Moonraker (blech)
Man w/Golden Gun
Spy Who Loved Me
From Russia w/Love

I'd probably pass on these usually but for .33 each what the hell.....

At another thrift I found:
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Hawaii Five-O Soundtrack
Stanley Black "Exotic Percussion"
Webley Edwards presents "Island Paradise" - yet another entry into the
"Hey Hawaii is way cool and we own it now!" series complete with a
color booklet inside.  There's some weird stuff on here, including the
sounds of riding an outrigger through the ocean!  There's also a Lyman
track thrown on......
Lyman's "Legend of Pele" (Great Cover!!!) and "Many Moods of....."
Beach Boys' "Surfin' USA" (in great shape)

This bunch for .50 each.  Man I love uncovering the Lyman stuff - don't
see that a lot around here!

The Bond soundtrack to find, when you're finding more than one is "On her
Majesty's Secret Service".  The music was so good that it tided me over for
the 11 or so years before I saw the movie!  I would skip the "Nina"(Nina
who, by the way?) track after having heard it a couple of times, but you
are talking to someone who heard it a LOT!

Incidentally, about Stanley Black, I haven't heard you-know-what, but to
those who have heard the Goon Show (Hello, Hugh!), a wonderfully surreal
radio show of the fifties, Black was the first bandleader for the show and
then Wally Stott took over after the second season

Instrumentally elsewhere on the show, the Harmonica playing of Max Geldray
is wonderful as well.

Yes, it's the Stargazers (Goon Show Ref),

I recently ordered the CD for OHMSS from Music Boulevard and was very please
that I did.  Most of the album is instrumental and the composition is
excellent.  Spy Jazz but not campy.

On a side note, I always thought OHMSS was one of the better written,
orchestrated and (yes) acted James Bond movies.  Lots of folks don't like
George Lazenby as JB but he is probably much more like the JB that Ian Fleming
created in the novels.  Now a days we don't think twice when they change
Batman actors but in 1967 when they replaced Connery this was big stuff.  I
always thought Lazenby did an excellent job stepping into such a difficult
(and unpopular) position.  Finally, I also like that movie because Bond showed
a compassionate side (as Fleming would have had him) by falling in love with
Tracy.

Anyway, sorry to digress but I always feel compelled to stand up for poor
George and the film many Bond fans treat like a bastard child.

Regards,

Robert

Yeah -- there are at least two compilations of their stuff on Circle in the US
(I have "The Three Suns: Second Volume 1949-1953", Circle CCD-145, but I got
it used and don't know where to go to buy another).  Collectors Choice Music
(www.ccmusic.com) also used to have at least one or two RCA reissues from

Usually I get all the undeliverable bounces, since I'm the list admin, but
every now and then some system somewhere is misconfigured enough to send them
to people who post to the list.  When this happens just let me know and I'll

Yeah, I agree... it's impossible not to like Connery in the role, but
imo he's the _least_ like Ian Fleming's Bond of any of them.  In the
novels, Bond has a very cruel, neurotic edge that often creeps out;
he's a much darker and more conflicted character than how Connery
portrayed him.

speaking of dark horse bond films, another that i saw recently that i
thought was really an excellent story and well made film was For Your
Eyes Only.  After the flaccid excess of Moonraker, I suppose they
were trying to get back on course and keep focused on the basics.  But
alas, it has what must be one of the very worst Bond scores, a cheezy,
cliched, and melodramtic effort penned by Bill Conti.

so, what was the last Bond film that was scored by John Barry?  Anyone
know why he has not been involved in the more recent productions?  I
suppose he might just be burnt out on Bond... too bad.  The recent
scores that i remember have been dowright feeble.

I never saw anyone answer this, so I guess I will.  I heard from a fairly

thinner plastic than the ones on the old cassettes.  Therefore, the tape

Subject: (exotica) "Yma Rocks" CD

How did I miss this? Has this been mentioned before on here?

From the Yma Sumac Web site:
http://www.accesscom.com/~pc/sumac/files4/ysnews.htm

- -------------------------

Yma Rocks CD Due Out Soon!

The long awaited CD of Yma Sumac's 1971-72 rock efforts is on its way to
energize the moribund musical world. Robert Covais, the producer has also
made available two works that he owned and which will be a joy of new
sounds for Miss Sumac's fans. The additional tracks are "Savage Rock" and
"Parade". It is called: Yma Rocks!

When James O'Maoilearca (aka Jim Branciforti) passed away after a long
battle with cancer, Robert, his constants companion of 38 years, thought
that the release of the rock work would be an appropriate dedication to a
wonderful guy. In addition the passing of Les Baxter, the King of Exotic
Music, and also of Hernan Brana, who was the unsung hero in the Sumac
legend, gives us all the opportunity to say thanks to those gone and to
let them live again through the music.

Robert Covais is preparing new linear notes and Raymond Bennett, noted
modern painter from Carmel by the Sea, will offer an artist's insight
into the rare beauty of Yma.

Make sure that Yma Rocks! is not confused with any pirated productions.
Don Pierson is the digital guru who has mastered a sound that is superior
to anything Yma's fans have heard.

A collectors edition will be sold through this site. A short e-mail to
indicate your interest in the collectors edition would be welcome. Sales
through regular musical outlets are a possibility, but whether they will
included the additional tracks is in question.

The last one seems to have been "The Living Daylights" in 1987.   Why he
stopped is not an answer easily found on the internet, but this link
http://www.auracle.com/pia/ has a link to a book about him, with excerpts.
I am a long time Barry fan, so I wouldn't mind seeing him doing the next
Bond, but it is conceivable that he doesn't want to anymore, having done 11
or so of the scores for them (although Desmond Llewelyn and until recently,

Any thoughts on the Bond compilation that came out recently? I think it's
called "shaken not stirred..." or something of that sort. Can't seem to find
it.

Listening to the mellow beat of Don't Fear the Reaper as I type. Wistful

'Fun in the Sun' is a great one, but the one that gets really overlooked is
"A Swingin' Thing", from 1964. It's got kind of a Now Sound vibe to it,
with the killer track being "African Waltz". It was their second to last
RCA album (the final one is a C&W medley album that's not that great). I
know they made one album for Musicor after that, with Vinnie Bell on
guitar, replacing Al Nevins. Don't know if there were any others after
that, though.

who'd probably grade Movin & Groovin slightly above Fever & Smoke, at least
on Wednesdays.

More great 3 Suns LP's;

Happy Go Lucky; (RCA Camden)

Though it is somewhat of a "comp" LP, there are tracks that I have never
seen on any other RCA release and includes a few titles that they
themselves call the
"Super 3 Suns" that is a 7 piece outfit including both Billy Mure and
George Barnes on electric guitars, maybe Al Caiola too!
This is as ROCKIN' as they get

Swingin' On A Star; (RCA)

Features the burnin' smoooooooth tenor sax of the great King Curtis
Killin' swingin' sounds from '59

Okay, WHAT makes the 3 Suns so great??  I've never really
heard them - although I think one of their songs was on a
comp. CD that I passed up (RCA put out a bunch of volumes
which are pretty lame......)

Anyway, the only album I've seen is orange and red and I
think has a picture of a seashore on the front (just the sand
and the waves rippling in).....but I'm not too clear on this.....

Subject: (exotica) Milton DeLugg

Milton DeLugg, anyone? I just played his "Accordion My Way -- Ole!"
and was pleasantly surprised: this album really swings! It's mostly
Brazilian tunes, and he's accompanied by some top musicians such
as Bucky Pizzarelli, Eumir Deodato, Bob Rosengarden, and Phil Kraus.
Accordion was never my favorite instrument, but these guys have
come up with a seriously infectious modern beat. And he looks
absolutely preposterous on the cover -- that's really why I bought
this thing in the first place, but the music won.

Any other DeLugg gems to look out for? His music for "Santa Claus
Conquers the Martians" was never released on record, was it....?

Is this the same "African Waltz" as the one written by Galt MacDermot?

I've got a great album of Galt's pre-Hair music played by Ken Jones
and his orchestra, on Capitol (Canadian), which I really love; it has
"African Waltz" on it, but some other great tracks such as "New
Frontier" and "Saffron".

Cheers,
Pete.

I agree. . . One observation is that while _Fever and Smoke_ has a killer
Side One and some more subdued tracks on Side Two, with _Fun In the Sun_
it's the reverse. So maybe it gets overlooked for that reason. . .

If you come across Movin' & Groovin' in "Swinging Stereo Actio your eyes
can follow" (I think that's the quote) and get 30 seconds into "Danny's
Inferno", (etc.) all will be revealed ;) This is one is much more lively
and "exotic" an effort than many of the others I have (though I will not
slight Twilight Time and On A Magic Carpet and...), the
accordian/keys/guitar supplemneted with jew's harp and a variety of
percussive instruments. I am sure their are others here who can praise
the merits in greater detail than I.

All the best,
