Subject: (exotica) Las Vegas Entertainers

I thought it would be fun to go to Las Vegas some weekend and, while I was
there, do some recording on location for the Mr. Smooth Hour.  I'd probably
just record the background sounds and announce over it later, but recording
it "live" may be more realistic (although I am not sure how realistic I
want to be...part of the charm of the Mr. Smooth Hour is the faux nature of
the whole thing).

Regardless, I am thinking ahead and wondering...just what recorded artists
should be featured in such a program: they would have to be both "exotic"
and well-known performers on the "strip."  When I say exotic, I mean they
have a style which applies rhythm  and instrumentation in an atypical yet
entertaining way.  When I think of Las Vegas I think of Frank Sinatra and
Wayne Newton, but there is not that much that they have done that I would
feel right putting in my program.  Louis Prima performed a lot in Las Vegas
and I think that most of his stuff fits in the program fine...but I need to
fill another 55 or so minutes (Prima getting only one of the slots).

So, any ideas out there?

I've seen one record player that had a single horizontal lever which
controlled the speed from 16 to 78+ rpm and anywhere inbetween!
Unfortunately it was not for sale and I didn't get a chance to use
it, but it looked like it would be a lot of fun to mess around with.
I have to say, though, it was also obviously a rather shoddy piece
of equipment, and I imagine the control would be very innacurate...

Ultra lush. Ultra smooth. Fab harmonies. Funny and weird lyrics. Great
arrangements. If this was straight forward pop, I would be a lot happier
about pop music. Pop rarely achieves such a balance of sweetness and
strangeness. Positively impossible for me to not smile while I listen to it.
Real class. I know a lot of people who just don't like them - it is
unbelievably sickly. But if you like things like Claudine, The Carpenters,
Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66, 5th Dimension - then I'd say Free Design are
kinda like the grandaddy of sickly late 60s/70s pop. The lyrics are often
times rather odd and the Project 3 band arrangements are very classy. That
is what the hoopla is about.

Regarding the Laserlight CD's, royalties, and where their CD's can and

Records Brad Benedict [Ultra Lounge producer], who has worked in the record
business for over a decade. If he is incorrect, so be it. Most Laserlight
material comes from labels that have gone out of business.

Subject: (exotica) French Pop!

Hi:

>Re: (exotica) Re: "Ultra Chicks, Lolita Ya-Ya Vol. 2,"
> Actually, where might I pick this up? Anywhere?

A mysterious set of CDs without so much as a mention of label, origin,
or sources.  They are distributed through a large and reputable
source in Canada, Distribution Fusion but the manufacturer on the
CDs indicate "Disc Amerique" which if I'm not mistaken is also Canadian.
Being French, I have some suspicion that this set originated from
here in Montreal.  I suppose it doesn't matter where it's from anyway,
the main thing is the set is really good (and not expensive)!

BTW, does anyone know how does this set compares to what's on the
Get Easy! - France compilation?  We Norh Americans have not been
fortunate enough to be able to get much from Motor.  Having luckily been
able to track down Get Easy - Vol. 4 - German Pop  (which is, by the way,
excellent, though among the most expensive CDs I've ever bought!) I'd
like to find out exactly what's on the other 3 volumes in the series. Motor's
website unfortunately doesn't provide much useful information on them
and no store in this City has them in stock or knows how to get them.

Thanks,

The Ultra Chicks compilation series originates with the owner of one
of Montreal's best retro-ish record/CD/ephemera stores but
for copyrightish reasons, I suspect, that's not being announced on the
CDs themselves.

A couple of list members emailed me some time ago wondering how
they might get volumes of these.  My apologies for not getting back to you
. . .
I've been on a long conference-and-vacation marathon for a few weeks.
If people still want them, I can perhaps try and find a way in which you
could order them directly from the source.

Most are priced at $20.

Subject: (exotica) Records from Florida to Maine

Toward the end of August I will be spending a week to ten days on the
road traveling from Florida back home to Maine and I'm seriously thinking
about hitting as many record shops inbetween as I possibly can.

I was hoping to compile a list of places to stop along the way and sort
of determine my route in a connect-the-dots fashion.

I don't expect you to reveal your favorite *fishing hole* but, any shops,
junk stores etc. where I might find some inexpensive (i.e. NOT
outrageously expensive ala Footlights in NYC) exotica/ easy listenin' LPs
 would be nice.

Thanks

Subject: (exotica) What I found for fifty cents and a question.

So I was an an estate sale, where they said "Oh, they're mostly religious
records"...

Music for Relaxation - The Melachrino Strings (RCA LSP-1001!  Second in the
Moods in Music line!!)
Dancing Sounds of Gerard Thifault and Mantboulas Orchestra (Mani Belle)
Rhapsody - Ferrante and Teicher (Urania 78001)
Alfred Newman conducts Selections from Fiorello and the Sound of Music
(Capitol ST1343)
Ray Barretto - Hard Hands (Fania LP 362)
Gyps....
Wait a minute!  What is THIS doing in this religious woman's house!?

Anyway,

The Gypsy Wanderlust with the Phantom Gypsies. (Everest SDBR-1012) 1958

I have yet to hear any of these, but I am very curious about the Gypsy
Wanderlust.  From the liners:

"The Phantom Gypsy, who prefers to keep his identity secret for the time..."
and the liners are written by Nat Hentoff!

My question is this, having checked on the Web and in the newsgroups, I
don't know the answer to this question:  What is the approximate date of the
F&T Urania recording?  It seems to be their only release on the label, so is
it one of their earliest?

[sound of jaw hitting soft furnished floor]

The arrangements, the vocal harmonies but most of all Chris Dedrick's
lyrics!!!  You just gotta open your heart to 'em and make them the
soundtrack of your life for a while...

The Free Design released some 6 albums all told so you might need to
give them more of a chance to weave their wicked spell on you.  I
believe there are *two more* FD compilations coming out from Siesta,
so snap those up too.

Hi Exotica Pals,

As someone who does not know as much about samba and bossa nova as she would like,
I ask:
What is that super cool song playing in the Nike aiport/soccer/Ronaldo commerical?

I almost think I like the current Nike soccer commercial more than the one a few
years ago, where the congenial European team plays demons from Hell :-)  That
one was an attention getter!

There seems to be a quite a swell in the ripples of exotica throughout
popular culture. Another example is the "Something for Cat" knockoff
in a current TV ad campaign for Honda SUV's (I think it's Honda anyway.)

As far as Sinatra goes I suggest you give a listen to "Road To Mandalay" on
the come Fly With Me album. Lots of gongs, bells, etc...it would classify as
exotica to my ear.

You may also want to try some Frankie Laine, he was very big in Vegas, and
some of his faux Western stuff from the early 60's is truly exotic and great.

Last time I was in Vegas I saw Buddy Greco, he was a singer like Sinatra, but
much more over the top. Some of his records are cool. He used to headline, but
now plays out in the casino area. When I saw him he did this ridiculous but
fun instrumental version of "MaCarthur Park". (Oh, forgot to mention he is
also a piano player)

Finally there is an album by this band called The Los Vegas, a group of native
Spanish speakers from Mexico who do harmony vocal stuff of Vegas style
standards, but with very unusual results.

Good luck with the show, and have fun in Vegas.

"mas que nada", composed by Jorge Ben (who've changed his name to Benjor)...

That song is "mas que nada", well known a repertoire of Sergio Mendes & Bras

Actually, there was an article in the UK magazine RM in Music Week this week
about it. I think it has actually been sampled from an original and remixed
by 2 Italian DJs (there names escape me - maybe Claudio Coccoluto or
something like that) and record companies are fighting over who will snatch
up the release rights. As for "Mas Que Nada", there are tons of fabulous
version. I have always been partial to the Sergio Mendes mix,but Jorge Ben's
original mix is also very good - much darker and a little weird.

Someone out there must know the real details on this...

For my taste the very best collection of Bossa Nova on one cd is Bossa
Nova Brazil on Verve. Its a best of with the standards and some
eclectic treasures.  Theres also a Best Of Bossa Nova on Verve that
has a little more Stan Getz on it and is a nice compliment.

Bossa Nova sounds great down here in New Orleans late at night with
the humidity and lows in the 80s.

I just got back from Le Pick-Up, the store behind
the Ultra Chicks comps.  I told Denis, the owner, about
the flurry of interest on this list, and he was excited.
(He's not on the list, obviously, and will only be on the
internet in the near future.)

Anyway, he's very happy to take mail orders:  $10US or
$15 Canadian for each volume, plus postage (which I
guess you figure out yourself.)   The
address is

Le Pick-Up
4383 St. Denis
Montreal, Quebec H2J 2L2

Subject: (exotica) Austin Powers Soundtrack

i watched the Austin Powers movie last night and was a little dissapointed.
the tape had an ad for the soundtrack.  any good?

the ending dance tune from "Casino Royale" james bond spoof (by tjb i think)
was much better.

Hey Byron both Esquivel and Martin Denny performed several times in Las Vegas

Subject: (exotica) Sinatra Question

In the film " The Quiller Memorandum, "   George Segal stumbles into his hotel

after being worked over by the the postwar nazi-underground. There is a radio
on in the
background upon which one can hear Frank Sinatra singing and then an announcer
saying
something to the affect of "That was Frank Sinatra with his latest hit,
'Wednesday's Child.'"
The song is featured throughout the film, yet my father has searched for that
song or
references to that song to no avail.

Anybody know this one?

Working on raising my "Accordion Awareness," I found this site from Tony
Lovello, "former member of The Three Suns" (I must admit my Sun's knowledge
isn't deep enough to know if he is a 'classic' or later memeber). He has a
batch of RealAudio files on tap ("Malaguena" is a real epic) and a lot of
instructional material for sale.

I have never seen the movie, however, knowing that it was released in 1966 -
Frank Sinatra's Reprise period - I can tell you with no doubt in my mind
whatsoever (and a quick look at the alaph track listing in the Reprise
luggage-case box which contains his entire Reprise output!) that Sinatra never
released either a single or an album track with the title "Wednesday Child."

1966 - The Monkees - Saturday's Child
Perhaps the inspiration for the ficticious song?

Sorry, couldn't resist.
