Oh, Moritz - for shame! It's on the Cabaret Obskur compilation, in English, by The Marinas (AtaTak WR 55) Although Andreas' original German version is still my favourite!!!

You know, back when someone passed around those surveys and I filled it =
out, I completely forgot the other fantastic influence that got me into =
this stuff...
TV Themes, man!
I just listened to the Emergency! theme. As Jack would say, =
Fan-Fucking-Tastic! Yeah!
Mission Impossible, James Bond, the Saint, Hawaii 5-0, obviously, but =
also Underdog, Fat Albert, Love Boat, Welcome Back Kotter, Green Hornet, =
My Three Sons, Alfred Hitchcock, Hogan's Heros, Twlight Zone, Odd Couple =
etc. All that reflected back at me by James Taylor Quartet, Air, Sound =
Galleries, the Crime Scene and so on. =20
So, as I sit here blitzing through theme after theme, I was thinking, =
this is where it came from, the little nub that John Zorn tapped with =
Naked City's Morricone, Goldsmith and Mancini covers. =20
Anyway.
Emergency! kicks ass.=20
I'm gonna listen again.

A lot of the music didn't make it at all, or is played in the background
so you can't hear it much. It's pretty much gone from the opening shot.
I have to admit that I like the studio-edited version better. There, I
said it. I felt it flowed better while retaining the essence of the
characters. The motel scene was much creepier in the first version.

Fred von Jupiter by the Marinas DID appear on a 1982 Das Buro compilation
of new German new music called Deutschland. Was just playing it and DAF
today, prodded by this discussion of German music. The music has staying
power for me, and not from nostalgia. It sounds great, jumpy, ironic,
occasionally snarly with delightfully jarring industrial bits.
Fred von Jupiter is credited to Die Doraus und die Marinas, so Mo, your pal
Andreas was involved. Other artists include Xao Seffcheque, Palais
Schaumburg,
Der Plan, Wirtschaftswunder, Pyrolator, S.Y.P.H., Die Krupps, KFe, Der
moderne Man, Die Fehlfarben, Malaria, etc.
Don't think Deutschland was widely distributed in North America (or the
UK?), and it may be hard to find. Anyone know? Mystery Poster of the first
message, please contact me offlist. Maybe we can arrange a tape swap to
satisfy your friend's hankering for lilting German lieder.
Guten Appetit,
MimiM

The best version of the Odd Couple theme - in fact so good, it's scarey -
is by AL CAIOLA on his "Power of Brass" record. He turns it into some kind
of "crime jazz" classic.
But if you've heard a cool version of Welcome Back Kotter, I'd like to hear
about it. Right now I have that tune in my head and I'd really like to get
it out

question: is there a list of moog and moog-related reissues in print?
seems like there should be more available than i've seen. including those
bootlegs. my only response to upset copyright holders is PLEASE let
someone reissue the stuff so we can all hear the music.
good night,

Subject: (exotica) Fred Wesley/Swinging on a star
Two things,
Firstly someone posted a message about 10 days ago that mentioned a Fred
Wesley LP in passing, I've lost the posting but feel intrigued enough to
ask if anyone still has it could they forward it too me.
Also I picked up a 7 inch single of Swinging On A Star by Big Dee Irwin.
And a fine raucous piece of RnB pop it is too. However It's not the version
of it that I remember. But then again the version I remember most clearly
is the one by Pinky and Perky, I can still see it clearly 30 years on,
Pinky sat on the crescent moon, Perky singing up from the earth
below............sorry, got quite carried away. Anyway my Pinky and Perky
collection aside, does anyone have an idea on good versions of Swinging on
A Star?
Thanks
