These are the details on the 1982 7" single

The Marinas
Dagmar Petersen (13 years)
Claudia Flohr (13 years)
Michelle Milewski (14 years)
Christine Submilch (12 years)
Isabelle Spelly (11 years)

The video to 'Fred Vom Jupiter' and publicity photos indicate this to be true.

Andreas Dorau's age is not indicated but on the LP and video he looks about
14-16.

The album 'Blumen Und Narcissen' (Flowers and Daffodils - I think) is a classic.
Good to see Doreau is still going. What happened to The Marinas though?

The cd "Badmutha's: 18 Black Movie Hits" (MCI Music MUSCD 039) features
songs from "Shaft", Superfly", "Cleopatra Jones", "Trouble Man" among
others. There are killer tracks by James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, Isaac
Hayes, Booker T & the MGs, Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Earth Wind & Fire etc. A
particular standout is Bobby Womack's "Across 110th Street" which Tarantino
reused for "Jackie Brown".
A good essay by Roy Carr provides an overview of the Blaxploitation genre.
Go & buy the cd now!

hey michael!!!

i too have a copy of this record, and never figured out what it
originally came with, but i imagine it probably came with various more
mainstream classical CBS Masterworks records of the period...... the
idea was to tie in CBS's new music branch with the oh-so-with-it hippie
phenomenon and hopefully sell a few records to their usually more
conservative audience...... and at least for some of these composers,
you could certainly argue a certain hippie tie-in (Riley, Reich, and
Partch to a certain extent), but i can almost guarantee you that the
hippie set probably had no knowledge whatsoever of Nancarrow, Berio
etc.....

anyway that's my take on it.....

The very cool Ramsey Lewis (Mother Nature's Child) I mentioned previously
was released by Cadet ('69).  Unfortunately the local pressings (South
african) of the Cadet stuff was by the same company that pressed A&M stuff
from '67 to '71 and the quality is very poor.  The covers had a front layer
of cellophane which has since shrunk and cracked on most of these releases
+ the vinyl tends to do the "hiss with treble notes" toward the centre (I
really hate this! 'cause you can't tell by the vinyl).

Can any list member maybe tell me how and why this happens?
It would be great to have some way of intellegently guessing the culprits
out without having to learn from experience (like the above rule).

Was there any similarly poor vinyl pressing plant in the States?

The current issue of "Record Collector" (U.K. mag) has a couple of
articles on porn film soundtracks/generally porny oriented stuff. The
one that particularly sticks in my mind is "The Lustful Sexlife of a
Perverted Nympho Housewife" (the cover really says things like "listen
as Pete the vacuum cleaner salesman demonstrates EXOTIC NEW
PERVERSIONS"; but, I already have the Frank Zappa back catalogue,
so...). Anyway, there were a range of things, including the "Shaftman"
(I guess you call it blaxxxploitation) album, which featured no music,
just "sound effects" and a free g-string on purchase, the Emanuelle
films (not to be confused with the Emmanuelle films -- one less m),
"Deep Throat" etc. etc. Serge Gainsbourg and "Sweden Heaven and Hell"
were the only things mentioned that I've previously seen discussed on
this list, I think. Basically the indication was that there has been
an explosion in collectability for these things. The discography at
the end featured items ranging from 25 to 350 quid. Well, I guess I'll
just wait to find that one old audiophile guy at a car boot sale
selling off his porn collection (well, I did find a copy of Mort
Garson's "Music for Sensuous Lovers" at a boot).

Subject: (exotica) The Well-Tempered Sounds of New Music

I remember that record!  Wish I still had it, too!  It was bundled with
(then) Walter Carlos' "Well-Tempered Synthesizer".  I remember some of the
songs quite well:

Conlon Nancarrow - He made wonderfully detailed music for player piano.
The whole Study #7 is great and I had the great privilege of meeting him
face to face in a class and he said he disliked the recording, because the
producer was seemingly more interested in electronic music than the
sonorities of the player piano.  He preferred the Arch recordings of his
work.   However, it was the snippet from this EP that got me excited about
his work, so...

Luciano Berio - Singing and speaking through Berio's piece is none other
than the Swingle Singers.  I found the record later for 29 cents.  "Going?
Going? Going on? You call that going?  You call that on?

Steve Reich - I remember this piece.  It sort of reminds me of the
"Frippertronics" experiments that Robert Fripp did in the 80's (which is,
of course to say, later).

Harry Partch - As I have mentioned on the list before, I greatly admire the
work of Partch and I also had the rare privilege of touching some of the
instruments he built.  The album "The World of Harry Partch" (from whence
the excerpt derives) is well worth seeking out and those who are Dr.
Demento fans will get a kick out of the piece "Barstow", which the good
Doctor excerpts in the "Funny Five" countdown("Number Three"), so some of
you are Partch fans and you didn't know!  Kind of like "Invasion of the
Body Snatchers", no?

Another interesting facet of Partch is that he was an Elvis Presley fan.
Well, at least of his presentation.  Partch wanted his musicians to be
"corporeal" when playing his music and move as the mood dictated.  He
admired Presley's motions onstage.  He did gripe that Presley had become a
parody of himself in later years.

Oh yes!  "The Well-Tempered Synthesizer" is nice, too!

Subject: (exotica) Soulful Strings

The key to those groovy Cadet releases is Richard Evans' production
coupled with a cracker jack set of studio musicians, many of whom have
solo recording careers in the funky/soul/jazz sound.

Soulful Strings, Dorothy Ashby, and many others benefitted from Evans'
production qualities.

David,

    That's the "beauty" and wonderment of VINYL!  No doubt it SUCKS BIG TIME;-(
There really is no way of telling that I have ever found

CROWN and Modern, which CROWN was born out of were the biggest culprits of
horrible sounding records in the USA that I have found.
I would venture to go out on this limb to say that anyone that has
ever bought a used record and has bought a Crown or Modern Label record
would agree that they were the hands down absolute worst.
These guys would recycle and recycle AND RECYCLE old and tired vinyl
to make "new records".  Melt down anything black and plastic like to make
records,
like Black ashtrays, butts included;-)

Of "special note" about Crown though is that IMHO 1 of the top 5 best bongo
beatin'
beatnik Latin jazz records of all time is on Crown;
Buddy Collette's Latin Jazz All Stars-Jazz Heat Bongo Beat.
Crown and Modern also made records in RED Vinyl and those were "usually"
Stereo
pressings.
One never knows what the sound is going to be like on a Crown label record
or for that matter
if you already had the record because they would also Repackage and Retitle
the record,
meaning that the Buddy Collette LP was renamed something else and you would
not know it
until you dropped that needle:-)

Let's not stop at Crown!  I also shy away from most any album that only
lists the other albums on the label.  Too cheap for liner notes, eh?

There was also K-Tel, who weren't particularly good and Decca managed to
pull off the double whammy of bad sound AND not-great pressings.  Musicraft
recorded many greats, including Duke Ellington, however the sound, ish!

The worst offender of the majors was Warner Bros in the 80's, with MCA second.

I have a 7" of a song called "La La La" by El Chicle (Shakat Records, 1974).
A boozy, Charo/Almodovar Spanish heroine-voiced woman sings the title over
and over in a simple melody.  But when the little drum breaks occur, she
goes over the edge!  We're talkin' multi-multi-!

The flipside's called "Streaking a Go Go" which has no sex but is a discoey
dance number sounding not unlike Bimbo Jet.

I bought this one (I think it's called "Jose Melis Plays the Latin Way", or
something like that) for a presentation I did on the Latin Image in American
music for a class last year. Musically, it's pretty un-memorable. :(

If this is the same record I'm thinking of (Charles Paul on RCA?), it has
one good (just in my opinion, of course) track called "Tamboo"--kind of a
movie theater organ exotica groove. Not essential, but nothing to kick out
of bed--or off the turntable. ^_^


Thanks for the space, Jessica ^_^

"Surf's Up" which is a 'closed list', meaning that I can't become a member
without being 'recommended' by atleast two people who are already members.
So, is there any listees on this list, and if so could you be nice and
recommend me? I really wanna get on that list!

Private replies if you have any info on the BB list...Thanks!

Speaking of VDP, has anyone heard his new live-album? Is it good/as good as
all his other stuff?

Subject: (exotica) regionalism

I know that this is part of the record accumulator's neurosis - this
feeling that you're always just missing the really cool records or that
they're just in the next town or the store you didn't go to today but does
anybody have any theories or know anything about why they find the records
they find and not others.
Like why in Southern Ontario, Mancini records are almost as common at
Goodwill stores as copies of "The Stranger" BUT they're almost always whipped.
Or why I find Fausto Pepetti records all the time but one of the experts on
the list didn't know who I was talking about... which is a blessing for him
unless he's desperate for naked women on the covers.  (As I am.)
Yeah, I can find records by local heroes like Nat Raider, Ben McPeek or the
Laurie Bower Singers but they generally suck. And I'm not comforted either
by my record of "Canadian Football Songs".
Should I drive to Cleveland?  Detroit?  I didn't have much luck last time I
was in Buffalo.  What's on the other side of the rainbow?  What am I
missing?  AND WHY??

Subject: (exotica) Under the Counter records: Just the Fax, ma'am

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Fax records in this naughty record thread.
Not so much the Bert Henry comedy schtick, but the weird stuff like
"Erotica, the Ryhthms of Love" (too much bedsprings, not enough bongos :P)
or those film-tie-ins (I think there's one for "Lucky Pierre", I could be
wrong).

And speaking of Crown records, there's one called "I'm in the Nude for
Love." Just standard easy listening on scratchy vinyl. >_<

I'm really enjoying this thread--everyone can use more smut in their lives. ^_-

Thanks for the space, Jessica ^_^

hi there all you exoticats,

i'm new to the list, so let me just introduce myself. I've read
messages of the last month, and i'll write something about
it later, in my next messages (having not read all that have been
said before, it might happen that i'd come late or repetitive on some
of the topics, and i beg your pardon in advance).

So, lemme tell you that they call me Gionni Paludi (something like
"Johnny From The Swamps"), from my radio show the "Gionni Paludi
Show", which i hosted for some years on local radio, here in Bologna,
North of Italy. Sure you know about the place, as is home of the most
ancient university of the world and - above all - home of that deli
sung by Weird Al Yankovic in his immortal "My Bologna" (though you
haven't really eaten good Bologna - that we call "mortadella", sounds
exotic isnt'it? - until you actually come to Bologna).

I have suspended my regular G.P.Show (dedicated to find obscure music
from the 50's & 60's, mostly), and now host
an all-dedicated-to-exotica show called "Take It... Easy!". I think
you will be able to hear it on Radio Vik, in the next future (i wish
to thank you in public, Vik!). Last summer i was offered from radio
R.A.I. (our national radio) to partecipate with my records & stories
in the "Maccaroni Radio Container" show. Two days ago, i received
phone call from the big boss, asking me to feature again in another
national radio show for next summer. I'll do my best, i want to tell
you, to promote easy tunes all over the land, and all that is being
said in this list by you experts is gonna be huge help.

In the Maccaroni radio container, my partners were the "Maccaroni
Circus", a local easy/comedy band that has put out, by now, a single
cd on indie label Kom-Fut Manifesto, quite hard to find also here in
Italy, so i guess you don't have it nor haven't heard of. Other local
easyboys are the Montefiori Cocktail, who i think rule! (they
have out "Raccolta n. 1" on Irma Records: did you know that Irma
heads from Bologna? And do you know why it is called Irma? It's
because the label has her offices right where, some decades ago,
there was a red light casino hosted by maitresse Irma!).

BTW, the Montefiori Cocktail are just back from a 24-day tour
of the States (last date on peak of the Twin Towers in N.Y.); has
anyone seen them?

That's too much annoying you, i guess, so i'll just send you all my
big CIAO.

I was wonderin': does anybody need some translation from
italian c.d.'s or need to know more about italian music and cinema?
Just ask me.

(Ci sono altri italiani nella mailing list? That's encrypt for "Are
there any other italians in the list?". Not you, Rocco, i won't count
you in, you don't even know the name of "Ernie" Morricone!)

Take it easy, molto easy.
Gionni

Subject: (exotica) Patience and Prudence

I recently bought a 45 by Patience and Prudence called 'gonna get along
without you now' (on liberty).  I would describe the sound as eerie,
childlike vocals with an accomplished uptempo orchestral backing,
although all I can find on them is a discussion in an R&B newsgroup.
I like the record very much and wondered who they were, what albums they
put out etc.
Any info would be appreciated.

regards

Jonny

Subject:       Re: (exotica) (Fwd) new listmember from italy

Welcome aboard!  I am Brian Phillips.  This weekend, I have just heard I
Pelati (were they popular?),

I Pelati (The Skinheads) came from Sardinia and had this killer
1966 garage punk song "Brunedda" (I guess that's just what you
have heard, maybe on "Infernal World - vol. 2", lp comp. on Martian
Recs.), with a peculiar mediterranean flavour due to the sound of
the "zagara", a traditional mouth instrument used by sardinian
shepherds! B-Side was "Pepe e miele (Pepper And Honey)", italian
cover of "I Don't Love You Anymore" from the Hot Rods and the
Honeycombs as well. Second, and last, single was: "Come i ragazzi di
via Paal" b/w "Oh, Giorgio" (the latter being cover in italian of
country classic "The Long Black Veil"). Their country vein popped up
also in their participation at the instant movie "Per un pugno di
canzoni" (For A Fistful of Songs).
The Pelati were five, no hair on their heads (which indeed was
against the stream, in days when everybody was actually GROWING their
hair). Once they realised that cutting their hair to the bone was
just not enough to sell millions of records, they switched name to
"The Colours", and recorded 2 more singles in 1967 & 1968: "Con un
sorriso" (cover of  "One Little Smile") b/w "Detroit City" (sung in
italian; of Jerry Lee Lewis & Tom Jones fame); "Hush" (sung in
italian; beautiful version of the classic Billy Joe Royal/Deep Purple
tune) b/w "Anniversario dell'amore" (cover of "Anniversary Of Love").
Can anybody help and tell me who recorded the original versions of
both "One Little Smile" and "Anniversary Of Love"?

For those of you who may be interested in Sixties' Beat Italiano, i
have just completed "The Catalogue of The Beat Italiano's Singles -
1964/1970". It will be out in few weeks, i still haven't decided its
price yet. First edition is of 300 copies only, so hurry if you care.

however, the question I have is about a town
mentioned in a song by a German group the Rattles.  The town is
Finale Ligure.  The song is all about their concert there.  My
question is this: does or did this town have a reputation as being a
great place to see concerts or having a good scene?

Finale Ligure was really the place to go & have fun in the sixties,
just like all the riviera in the region of Liguria, which is the part
of Italy right across the border from the french cote d'azur (St.
Tropez, Cannes, Montecarlo). Noticed the spot on the rear cover of
the Montefiori Cocktail cd? That's a typical sixties club from
Liguria!

Take It Easy.
Gionni

"666" of Aphrodites Child and "White Noise" of Dave Vorhaus' White Noise
have these Hippie Woman coming out orgasm shouts.  Not very sexy, but
psychedelic. Whatever happened to Dave Vorhaus? He=91s also on the
Electronic Toys compilation of Normal Records that has a sexy sleeve
with Danny Sutton photos.
