David Garland used to "host" a Hawaiian War Chant Extravaganza on WNYC.
Every year he'd produce an all new 3-hour extravaganza shoehorning in as
many versions as he could fit. And never any repeats from year to year! The
listener-friendly touch was that any listener who survived the entire
Extravaganza could write in for a hula-n-tiki flavored certificate attesting
to their good taste and great endurance.

I've definitely seen a full album of Lullaby in Birdland covers. I think it
was on Bethlehem Records. I wanted it really bad, but it was insanely
expensive.

I'm just blabbling on now, but I saw it in Rockford, Illinois at a store
called Toad Hall (I think). They had two floors of collectors vinyl, but
their prices weren't very good. Overall though, the store was an old jazz
and exotica collectors dream. Does anyone know it is still around?

Subject: (exotica) Customs nightmare

Like many others on this list I buy many used vinyl LPs from dealers
outside of the U.K. I received a card arrived yesterday from 'Parcelforce
Worldwide' informing me that they are holding a package of 3 LPs.
Apparently Customs are charging me a supplemental $40 - the card does not
explain why.  The LPs ordered had been paid for in advance, with their
airmail costs.

Does anyone have any idea what this supplemental tax is for, & to avoid
being charged for it?

This has never happened before.  please advise ASAP.

I bought the CD  "American Yodeling 1911-1946"  yesterday and it's just out
on the same label. 26 tracks in all and very good informative booklet. Will
there be any yodelers in heaven? Think so.

I expect it is simply Value Added Tax (VAT).  You don't mention where the
records are coming from, but if it is from America (who don't participate
in the VAT scheme) then that's the most likely reason.  That only accounts
for part of the surcharge, though.  The other part is the charge Customs
make for raising the charge, ie their cut.

Prior to the introduction of VAT, I believe you could argue a refund of
duty on the grounds that the records were not available in this country.
I don't think you can avoid paying the $40, but you can minimise the risk
in future by doing your best to get the suppliers of the albums to pack
in such a way that it looks like a collector to collector consignment,
rather than a company to a collector consignment.  Also, if they are
2nd hand records it doesn't hurt to show that on the green customs
declaration label.  I don't know what guidelines the Customs people
use to decide what attracts a surcharge, and what doesn't.  It would
be a scurrilous accusation to make, that they decide on packages
people obviously won't want to lose.  Perhaps vinyl now occupies
a place along with jewellery in the 'high value' stakes?

Hugh.

Having considered recent posts on the subject, I can only agree w/
Charles_Moseley, who typed:

>>different versions) a little scary. It seems to shout pretension and self
>>indulgence

I feel the same way about the playlists that appear+appear+appear
over+over+over again on this list.  [There is one exception that I am
genuinely interested in, & motivated to read, because of that person's
depth of knowledge].  Lists of CD comps. or reissues seem such an
unimaginative & easy option.  What purpose do they serve?

In recent years I have learned that there are many hidden gems in the
treasure chest of the past, if one dig deeps enough.  With help from this
forum, I hope to continue discovering well into the future.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Customs nightmare

Here's how it works in the European Union or what ever it's called. The
import laws are much strikter since the formation of the EU. If you recive
taxable products, new or used makes no differance, from a country that is
not part of the EU. The customs will tax (VAT) you for the total value of
what you recive including the postage. If there's no customs declaration
there'll be problems. Either a custom's officer will contact you demanding
such or they will just tax the contents either way they like. There is a
minimum value for goods to be taxed but I think that differs from country to
country. If it's a small packet it might pass the custom's unnoticed then it
is up to you to report it to the customs for declaration, if you know it
should have been taxed. How many people do you think would do this? The VAT
also differs between the European states so I suggest you talk to your local
customs officer.

I know all this because I've been importing/exporting records for a long
time. I do not work as a record spying customs officer.

Good Luck Des!

No, bur you've got to visit some of the superb coffee shops where you can buy
all kinds of fabulous prize-winner hash and maryjuana and smoke in a relaxed
beautiflly styled ambiente. The best in Amsterdam seems to be the "Rokerij".
It's near the Amercian Hotel, just a few streets away. It's an experience of
its own. You wouldn't believe how cool "legalized" can be! It's definitely
"lounge-related"!

Margaret Whiting is songwriter Richard Whiting's daughter. She sang in a
straight no-nonsense manner and I'd think she'd be of little interest to
most people on this list except for the fact that she got "involved"
(married?) gay porno star Jack Wrangler years ago and they're still together.

She's a fine vocalist in the traditional classic vocalists school. She's
not camp, exotic or strange in any way.

Well, I suppose for those who have narrowed their interest strictly to
camp, exotic and strange, you're right, Margaret Whiting won't do much for
you.  My opinion is that she's an under-appreciated, mostly-forgotten,
wonderful vocalist.  She covered many songs written by legendary
songwriters like Johnny Mercer and Hoagy Carmichael, and did some wonderful
duets, including a 1950 duet with Bob Hope, "Blind Date", which some might
consider campy.  Some chart hits:

A Tree in the Meadow - 1948, #1
Far Away Places - #2, 1949
Baby, it's Cold Outside (with Johnny Mercer) - #3, 1949
Slipping Around (with Jimmy Wakely) - #1, 1949
The Gods were Angry with Me (with Jimmy Wakely) - #3, 1950

Currently, she's on Broadway, starring in "Dream - The Johnny Mercer
Musical", singing "Moon River" and "The Days of Wine and Roses", to name a
few.  And yes, she's still married to the gay porn star.

I don't know too much about the bulk of her work, but I sure like what I've
heard.

Dave

I agree: it's a rather disappointing record. Most compositions are
rather forgettable.

Yes, and we all live in wind-mills and we walk on wooden shoes....
Hey, c'mon - there are nicer things to do in the Netherlands than visit
those awful coffee-shops. Lots of great museums in Amsterdam and yes,
lots of record-shops too.
What part of Holland will you be visiting? I can give you addresses of
interesting record-shops in any part of the country.

Customs, baby. Customs and excise tax. And VAT. You can only buy about $30
worth of goods before they slap on the tax. If you're within the EU, you're
cool. But if it's Stateside, you're sunk. The problem is that little green
slip people must fill in. If people put the value of the records, then you
pay excise. Now, a lot of foolish people mailing things - instead of fudging
on the value of the records - actually include the cost of the postage into
that green slip too, thinking that if it is lost, you'll get value back.
WRONG! That is simply for customs, not for postal insurance. The record
dealer you bought from is either very honest OR very stupid. You'd be
surprised how much weight that little green slip holds. They don't have a
copy of record collector sitting by their side. Always check "gift" and not
"merchandise"

>Does anyone have any idea what this supplemental tax is for, & to avoid
>being charged for it?

Profit. Lie.

>This has never happened before.  please advise ASAP.

You're stuck paying it, BUT you can get a refund cheque IF you can get a
letter from the source saying they overestimated the value of the product
due to thinking it might help with insurance if it were lost. I would
suggest trying this. I have gotton refunds before.

Subject: (exotica) Professional: The Best Of Laurie Johnson

anyone knows how the new Laurie Johnson cd "The Professional: The Best Of
Laurie Johnson" on HMV compares with the "...with a vengeance" cd on
Sequel?

"The Professional" is called "the definitive collection of LJ's best known
theme music for tv and film, and contains the themes from "the Avengers",
"the professionals" & "Jason King".

"...with a vengeance" has 30 Tracks from the 60's, including the original
"Avengers" theme, "Dr. Strangelove", his entire "Two Cities Suite" album.
About 10 of these tracks are very good, but there are as many average or
just plain boring tracks. All are rather lush big band style, TOO lush and
mellow at times, not much unconventional things happening here. Some crime
jazz influences. Also several humorous pieces, sort of a big band version
of Leroy Anderson. Also a couple of Latin tracks, but the Edmundo Ros
smooth kind of Latin.

Piero Umiliani: "Today's Sounds"

As featured on "Easy tempo 3". It's an ambitious and progressive
instrumental cocktail of soul, jazz, funk, rock fusion, Latin, and Moog,
but not necessarely all together in each and every song. "Open space" is
Moog fusion, "Caretera Panamericana" is bright Latin Moog jazz,
"Goodmorning sun" is floating Moog pop, "To-day's sound" is slightly
eastern influenced rock fusion, "Free dimension" is funky jazz with frantic
conga/bongo percussion, "Truck driver" is Moog funk, "Country twon" is odd
exotic Hammond 'n marimba instro gospel-like, "Bus stop" is Hammond soul,
"Exploration" combines a folky melody with fuzz guitar, "Tropical river"
sound very much like the things Pink Floyd was doin' around the same time
(1971), "Coast to coast" is blaxploitation crime Moog funk. The title
suggests some "now" sound, but it's different from the typical "now sound"
combination of big band and rock elements. Instrumentation: Moog, Fender
piano, marimba, flute, horn section, Hammond and Lowrey organ, clavichord,
vibraphone, electric guitars, bass, double bass, percussion.

Subject: (exotica) new CD's

While browsing thru Footlight's site of new soundtrack releases, I was pleased
to see these RCA reissues:

Mancini - Charade
Mancini - The Party
Buddy Morrow - Impact
Buddy Morrow - Double Impact

The two Morrows are really great collections of TV themes (circa 1958-60) done
in the big, bold and brassy style.  Highly recommended!

Bonanza
Staccato
Sea Hunt
The Naked City
The Twilight Zone
Highway Patrol
Rawhide
Hawaiian Eye (!)

...just a few of the titles.  Original artwork, too!
