Subject: (exotica) Re: Dmitri from Paris

Hi,

I'm assuming that several of you have the Dmitri From Paris album, now
available on Atlantic in the States after being an import-only release for
quite some time.

Anyway, my question: The CD's hidden bonus track is based around a repeated
sample of someone saying, "I like lots of things, but there are three
things I like most: love, love and love." Does anyone know the source of
this line? I'm guessing that it's either a Claudine Longet line from "The
Party," or a Audrey Hepburn line from "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Help?

I don't know if he's still singing, but he was just in a movie.
(Twilight Of The Ice Nymphs, by Guy Maddin, 1997 - and this is a very
exotic movie in its own special way!)  So he's still around...

Unfortunately I can't answer your question, but I *can* tell you
that the title of the hidden track is "Toujours L'Amore."  It
originally appeared on the "Shibuya Connection" EP by Dimitri
"of Tokyo" (Disorient Recordings).

On the topic moog, I have to mention
Pierre Henry "Mass for Today" LP on Limelight label.
Not really a moog record, but you get demented
electronic/electroacustic sounds over cool psychdelic rockmusic .
Way-out and a must have to all into moog/electronica.
First track "Psyche Rock" will blow your mind!

Gorshin cut a single called "The Riddler" which shows up on the
incredible Psycho Seranade album. He doesn't really "sing" but it's a
great song with the riddle-then-answer dialogue between Gorshin (the
Riddler) and the background vocalists. Norton mailorder carries this LP.

I seem to remember hearing that he died a couple of years ago.

i've never seen the original LP, but parts of the above title, Le Voyage and
the "creaking door" variations can all be found on the MESSE POUR TEMPS

Also, I'm still waiting for my first crack at Tom Dissevelt and Kid Baltan's

Subject: (exotica) Mandingo

hi all

Just scored Mandingo's eponymous album from 1973 (for three quid, yet!) and
and kinda intrigued by it ... for the uninitiated, it's a strange mixture of
70s rock-ish studio sounds, exotic percussion, strings and brass - there are
some Mandingo cuts on the first "Sound Gallery" LP.

What I was wondering was, who were "Mandingo" (apart from EMI session muso
Mike Vickers) and what was the story behind the records? There's also a
connection with someone/something called "Tantra", does anyone have any
info?

also, was there a quad mix !?!?!

groovily

As some of you may know, I ran a club here in Edinburgh last year

what LP (if any) did it appear on?

Bedazzled was such a great movie, but now with Peter Cook being gone,,,,
Why all these remakes - I'm sure a lot of people like me would rather see a
theatrical re-release and get to see a great movie like Bedazzled on the "big"
screen.

Thanks for the post on this one,

Subject: (exotica) Buddy Merrill

I have recently been exploring the music of guitarist Buddy Merrill and
finding it more fascinating.  There's not too much information about him,
until now.  His daughter, Cheryl, is trying to build up more interest in
his music.  I found I already owned a couple of his albums (he has a
version of Caravan I like).  If you don't know him already, or if you do,
you might want to check out a new website:

http://buddymerrill.com

(I hope I got the slashes correctly.  It's tough going from DOS to Unix and
back again. If it doesn't work, use the backslash instead!)

Do give her feedback on the site! I have been told it works differently for
different browsers.  My Netscape 3.0, for instance, doesn't play the music
automatically and none of the audio/video links work for me.

Subject: (exotica) Jantzen, Manson, Schmanzen

The Goodwill As-Is store has been pretty poor pickings lately, but today I
found
a very small number of interesting items.

One I got purely on local interest.  Apparently, back in the 1960's,
Jantzen was a Portland, Oregon based company which specialized in women's
clothing.  I am not sure if the company is around anymore, but people still
go to Jantzen Beach in Portland for shopping, so the name survives.  I
think the company started by making swimwear and then expanded.

Anyway, just as I was about to scoop up my few records, I found this 5 inch
record.  I would have missed it.  Anyway, the paper cover says "Richard
Hayes sings just wear a smile and a jantzen (r) Music and lyrics by Michael
Brown" with a picture of a woman dancing.  The reverse features a boyish
picture of Mr. Hayes.  The record inside had the small center hole, so it
was a 33 1/3.  One side had the featured song, the other was Eddy Manson's
Nightbeat.  I figured this was worth it...I already knew and liked the Eddy
Manson cut.

The music on both sides was neat. Brown did a good job getting Jantzen
mentioned frequently in the song and it was fun.  The copy on the cover was
also amusing:

"Everywhere the Jantzen girl of '60 goes love is sure to find her.  Fly it
from the campus flagpole--the news is Jantzen every time a fraternity pin
lands on a fluffly sweater, or a roaring lacrosse player curls up like a
kitten and purrs.  It's more than her smile of fond largesse that makes
boys so digress--it's the great look of her hobnail sweather.  The flip of
a deeply pleated skirt.  The swagger of long lean pants.  And they're all
Jantzen's, pure destiny-kissed.  This warm heady feeling evoked the Jantzen
Smile Song.  It was written with a girl in mind, one you'll immediately
take to heart.  So, spin our platter through your hi-fi a few times.  Then,
when the mood strikes, start dancin' for Jantzen, it's the key to sweet
romancin'. "

Yeah, right.

So, what's Richard Hayes to anyone out there?

Also got Switched on Bacharach by Christopher Scott, Decca 75141.  I liked
some of the renditions better than the more popular versions!  Too bad the
vinyl was flawed on both sides  (the vinyl blurbs out a little in the
middle of a cut).

Marcy Sings, Word Records K-704.  I'm not into God records, but the cover
was worth it.  Besides, Marcy Tigner is a local and her records have
interesting associations.

Baja Marimba Band Rides Again  A&M SP 4109.  There is no use in denying it:
I used to avoid buying Herb Alpert or Baja Marimba Band records because
they I thought them TOO popular.  I had obviously heard Herb Alpert, but
surprisingly I had never listened to any BMB. Because BMB was publicized so
much alongside the more popular Herb Alpert, I assumed I had already heard
too much of BMB when in fact I had not heard any!  Today I hear older
Alpert records with new appreciative ears and am discovering BMB for the
first time.  I like it and can definitely hear the simularities of some of
BMB's music with Arthur Lyman's (BMB's Julius Wechter used to be in Lyman's
group).  I like best the Woody Woodpecker Song on  this album.

I have one album of his and I pilfer it for tapes constantly. And the
record, "Land of a thousand guitars", doesn't seem to be mentioned on the
website.  I'd say it's one of my most reliable records but I've never seen
another one.

Subject: (exotica) The Ray Charles Singers

While we're discussing the Ray Charles Singers, I will confess to having
listened to more of their albums than I would recommend anyone ever do
again, all in search of the few killer tracks I knew had to be there.

The "Hawaiian War Chant" mentioned earlier appeared originally on "Paradise
Islands:  Songs of Hawaii," Command RS 845SD.  Also worth picking up (for
$3 or less, that is) for "Get a Musical Log" and "The Cocoanut Wireless,"
both exoticatrocious (to steal a term from Tony Wilds) pastiches.

THE BEST--I kid you not--cover of "Music to Watch Girls By" is on their "A
Special Something," Command RS 914 SD.  Easy to spot by its metallic silver
cover.

And I'm still searching for the album that includes their cover of "Canto
de Ossanha," which includes new English lyrics and title:  "Let Go."  Has
to be heard to be believed, as male voices intone, "Society tells you,
'Hold back!'" while the female voices urge, "Let go!"  A remarkable period
piece from the sexual revolution.

Virtually everything else I've heard--including the reissued-in-CD "Songs
for Latin Lovers," is fairly bland and unexceptional.  Unless you are
planning a "Silent Majority" theme party (pass the ketchup and cottage
cheese).

I revisited this recently and enjoyed it more.  In particular, 'Love for
sale' is excellent once you get past the dramatic opening.

Subject: (exotica) New Issue of C&SM!

Hi Lou--

Here's the latest press release for the new issue -just out!
If you could please post it to the "Exotica" newslist, I'd really appreciate
it!

- -Dana
C&SM Mag
***********************************************

Issue #9 of Cool And Strange Music! Magazine is here!!

It's another 48 pages, beautifully offset-printed, with a cool color cover,
lots of high-quality photos, tons of new wacky and weird CD reviews and it's
more fun than ever!

Featuring articles on JONATHAN AND DARLENE (with an exclusive interview with
Jo "Darlene" Stafford,) and presenting several articles on the career of LES
BAXTER (including remembrances by some of his closest musical friends.) We'll
take quick tour of the best used record stores and thrift shops in SAN DIEGO'S
COOLEST RECORD STORES. Due to popular demand of our discerning readers, we
present an in-depth article on THE BONZO DOG BAND, one of the most innovative,
insanely clever rock bands of the '60s. We're honored to feature an exclusive
interview with key Bonzo member (and later head-Rutle) NEIL INNES. Finally, we
talk to HENRY PHILLIPS, one of the funniest (and most twisted) new singer-
songwriters we've ever heard! You'll also find lots of wacky, new CD reviews,
and loads more!! Hide our centerfold from the kids! It features some of the
raciest NAKED LADY LP COVERS that you've probably never seen! Altogether, it's
48 pages of musical mayhem and madness!

We first feature an exclusive interview with the legendary, Jo Stafford who
fills us in on the bizarre records that she and hubby Paul Weston recorded
under the names "JONATHAN AND DARLENE." J&D's music was INTENTIONALLY bad,
with messed-up measures, missing beats, and a consistently off-key soprano
vocalist! It was all a huge hoax by these talented, former Tommy Dorsey
musicians, who inadvertently actually won a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album
of the Year for their first record as Jonathan & Darlene!!

Our cover story is on the incredible LES BAXTER, a brilliant innovator who
single-handedly masterminded the entire "exotica" movement of the '50s. Martin
Denny took the ball and expanded on the genre, but Baxter had the original
inspiration for jungle-y sounds, filled with imaginative themes. Our three
seperate articles look closely at the man behind the music, particularly
towards the end of his life.

THE BONZO DOG BAND were wild musical trendsetters who paved the way for
countless oddball comedy rock groups. Our interviews with NEIL INNES and Bonzo
curator JIM YOAKUM give inside information on the creation of some of their
most adventurous music.

We travel to San Diego with SAN DIEGO'S COOLEST RECORD STORES. Our "Record
Store Report" is a handy reference feature that we include in every issue of
our magazine, and this time it features sunny San Diego. With it's abundance
of retired folks, it's a mecca of thrift stores and used record stores with
some choice discards!

In our photo centerfold this time are some of the NAKED LADY LP COVERS sent in
by some of our readers from all over the world. Bet you've never seen most of
these highly collectable (and expensive) ladies! Yowzers!

Lastly, we vistit with HENRY PHILLIPS, one of the most twisted and irreverent
singer-songwriters that we've ever heard! His very funny CD on Oglio Records,
was one of our top picks of last year, and he sheds some light on his creative
process. We nominate Henry as the logical successor to the brilliant Tom
Lehrer, God bless him.

All this, and a whole lot more fun stuff than we dare mention, and you'll find
a very Cool Issue #9 of COOL AND STRANGE MUSIC! MAGAZINE. So get on board!
It's gonna be a cool ride through the wild, wacky and sometimes tacky world of
records!

COOL AND STRANGE MUSIC! MAGAZINE is available at most Tower Records and Tower
Books stores and we are also in hundreds of newsstands and independent

he is still about...i recently had the extreme pleasure and good fortune
to meet and shake hands with him at a fantasy/horror convention in New
Jersey last month. he even did a little Q+A in which he busted out some of
his stage routines. anecdotes and impersonations...my favorites were
always Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster...
he never made mention of any singing career, i am sure that the only
singing he did was most likely just a part of his characterisations.

hears to Frank....

No. Whirlpool will play there. Wish to go back though. It's a beautiful
city. I couldn't see very much in 2 days, had to stay in the club we
played most of the time, but what I've seen I liked. Barcelona has the
ideal combination of very small Old town lanes and wide "royal" places
and avenues. Extremely interesting and romantic architecture, not only by
Gaudi. Mediterranian sea breeze, just perfect. I don't know if the idea
of Exotica has reached this city at all, but they have enough palm trees
and wonderful parks and harbour views themselves. (Apparantely there is
nobody from Spain in the Exotica list).  Unfortunaltely I couldn't go to
the Marsella Bar and I couldn't figure out the museum with that Zombie,
but thanks to Brother Cleve (saw a foto of you today in that Exotica
fanzine that you write for) and Magnus for the tips. I might go back to
Barcelona pretty soon, because they offered Andreas Dorau a whole
Spain-tour.

So... no signs of Tiki, but a pretty exotic adventure!

I admit I have not yet heard the RCSingers version of "Music To Watch Girls
By" (although I would like to hear it) --- but there is another great version
of this that most might pass by unsuspectingly -- The Ray Conniff Singers
version. I forget which LP it is on, but if you see it (for $3.00 or less) GET
IT!!!

Also, on the topic of "Music To Watch Girls By", the first time I saw
Combustible Edison live, they did a FANTASTIC version of this complete with
the vocals. A great live exotica band.  (They were also great back when they
were Christmas, before they became Combustible Edison)

<< Okay, are there any audiophiles on exotica?

 I'm soliciting recommendations for high-end audio
 equipment......(turntable, speakers, amp, tape deck) I'd like to
 stay around $500 for each if that's at all possible......
  >>

Okay, this is really a coincidence that this gets posted to the list the day
AFTER I just found out my dad was one of those audiophiles (I thought it was
stereophile) in the 1960s.  He told me that in those days if you couldn't
afford the thousands of dollars for the stereo equipment, you had to make it
yourself.   He says that the really good speakers where made by Altec Lansing.
He used some by a company called "Voice of the Theatre" or "Electro Voice" or
something like that.  He says the stereo equipment you made from a kit -
Heathkit and there were others. He had a Fisher amplifier.  He whipped out the
original catalog from Altec Lansing and these graphs of how he measured the
frequency/resistance or some-such to determine the Free-air resonance which is
how you tweek this or that and then design the box for the speakers.  It was
all pretty complicated and I don't what to be a bore.

My poor dad had all this bitchin equipment and it was in a storage locker and
of course it all got ripped off.  When I was a teenager, he gave me one of his
extra Fisher amplifiers and a set of speakers and I remember just pushing one
switch on the amp and being able to like blow the roof off the house with the
sound.

My question to all of you is.... Is there a market in this old equipment
today????  What's it worth???   Do any of you being into this time period and
all musically, play your stuff on vintage systems?????

Any and all comments appreciated.
