 I don't suppose this is what you're talking about but, today at a library
sale I picked up a Christmas album on the Command label. It's called
"Christmas Carols with Organ and Chimes" and it's performed by Ashley
Miller. On the front cover, it says it was "expressly produced for E.J.
Korvette," which seems to be a large New York department store.

While its not really Exotica there are a number of early 80's LP's with
Computer Programmes (normally games) included as extra tracks.
The Strangers "Aural Sculpture" & a Howard Devoto one (the title escapes
me) have these...
I'm  told but havn't seen it myself that there is also a "Frankie Goes
to Hollywood" computer game on record as well.

Quite a few computer magazines also gave away flexi-disks with
programmes on them as well..

I have a book like that and I've been waiting for years to find a collector
of this kind of stuff to give it to.  The book is called "Teaching Negro
Children to Read".  I bought it for the same reason I buy lots of things.
I couldn't leave it there.  But it's been looking for a proper home ever
since.

I have this one too.  When I first got it, I thought that the whole
Sleeping Pill motif was actually an ironic concept album thing, that there
really was no drug and that they were trying to make a joke on how the
music was so sleep-inducing.
But after a while I figured out that if it was a joke, they were certainly
taking it pretty far.
I have since bought a Bacharach album also sponsored by Placidyl, but
without all the medical information on it.

Subject: (exotica) Weird records, some ideas

hey gang

greetings from a very grey & dreary London

Interesting thread re "weird record" - the more bizarro or out-of-place an
album seems, the more I love 'em!! Off the top of my head I'm going to vote
for:

"Music from Mathematics" which came out in 1962 and featured the
quasi-musical tootlings and warblings of a giant IBM 700 series mainframe,
all programmed on punched cards by men in white coats. I wonder who, in 62,
saw that album in the stores and thought, "I must buy it and take it home
and play it every day"??? It's great though - from the gee-whiz concept down
to the cover (period early 60s graphics) to the "music" itself, some of
which sounds like a pipe organ ,some is white noise, some is straight outta
50s sci-fi, and so on .... yeah!

"Criswell Predicts" which will be familiar to many of us since it got a
reissue last year. TV psychic Criswell (as seen in most Ed Wood movies)
recites 42 minutes of interesting preditcions. Sample: "I predict that LSD,
marijuana and speed cann change your sex". Indeed.

"Miniatures" put together in 1980 by Morgan Fisher (ex Mott the Hoople!)
consisting of contributions by invited celebrities, artists & musicians, the
brief being that each contribution must be less than one minute long. Some
of this is seriously strange. Check it out.

"Hybrid Kids" also by Morgan Fisher under a variety of unlikely assumed
names. Oddball cover versions of contemporary pop tunes. Great and really
odd version of "D'ya think I'm Sexy".

And on another tack - computer data on record: I can remember that in the
early 80s in the UK several home/hobbyist computer mags of the time would
come complete with a flexidisc on the cover featuring programs for a
contemporary home computer (ZX Specturm, BBC Micro etc). What fun one could
have trying to get that to load. Also for a while the BBC used to transmit
programs over the air late at night just before "closedown" (a forgotten
concept whereby TV & radio would shut down for the night so that the nation
could do the same) the idea being that computer bods should tape such
programmes and hey, just load'em in to their machines later.

Hope this is of interest!

Subject: (exotica) Wierdest records - drugs

While we're on the subject of wierd records, would anybody on the list like
to detail their drug-aware and drug influenced records.
Does anybody have LSD, Battle for the Mind?    Any other marijuana/LSD
scare records?
Timonthy Leary's masterpieces?
The Trip soundtrack?
Acid Eaters soundtrack?
etc.
etc.



On a different note, I read about 1950's - 1970s US Information films like
Safety in the Shop in the Research Incredibly Strange Films book. Does
anybody have a source for finding these gems or does anybody on the list
have examples they would like to trade?


Thanks.

A great record, but certainly in the category of intended weirdness. What
happened to Morgan Fischer by the way? Haven't heard of him for ages!

Kind of interesting how we got from "weird" to "drugs". In my own memory
the original fascination for weird music derived directely from
psychedelic drug experiences.

I think your life will be far less endurable without "Hi Fi Harp" by Robert
Maxwell on Mercury.  The best cuts are probably his versions of "Cumana"
and an amazing "I've got rhythm" as well as two originals "Scoop" and "Hot
tamale".
But the record also has two of the coolest names of songs anywhere in
exotica-land.  "Injury Music for Football Games" and "Accidental Sip on an
Oriental Rug".
The last one is also a pretty cool tune.

And you shouldn't confuse that record with "The Harp in Hi Fi" which is my
second favourite Maxwell but not as good as HiFiHarp"

But I think the most surprising Maxwell record is by a group called "The
Fortune Tellers" on the record called "Song of the Nairobi Trio".  It's his
record but the harp playing is not so upfront.  Very exotica, kind of fake
Arabic stuff.  The record sort of reminds me of what the Three Suns might
have been like with a harp instead of an accordion.

Oops, I just remembered what a big Three Suns fan Ross is...

It's a great record.  Very cool guitar parts especially on this one cut
"Pagliacci Cha Cha".

From: "Carl Russo" <[e-mail]>
Subject: (exotica) Weird Record! / Odds N Ends

Thanks all for the discourse on my KFC query!

I think my non-intentionally weirdest musical record is "The Best of Ernesto
Hill Olvera (The Organ That Talks)."  He plays funereal organ (no Hammond
B-3 here) and uses that voice machine as you may have heard on Pete Drake
records or "Rusty in Orchestraville."  Strangest cut is "Pancho Lopez" set
to the melody of "Davy Crockett" and slowed down to a snail's pace.  Totally
otherworldly!  On the Carino/Dynalflex/Mexican RCA label.

Finally, the following cracked my shit up.  From The Onion
(www.theonion.com):


>> MOTHERSHIP ACCIDENTALLY DESCENDS ON HOOTIE CONCERT

ROSEMONT, IL -- Confusion and awkwardness resulted Monday when the P-Funk
Mothership, outer-space chariot of Dr. Funkenstein and the Star Child,
accidentally descended upon a sold-out Hootie and the Blowfish concert at
the Rosemont Horizon arena in suburban Chicago.

"Thumpasaurus Peoples! You have summoned us through the Groove, and we have
returned to refunkatize the planet!" said Dr. Funkenstein, the fur-bedecked,
disco-booted Mothership Supreme Commander, moments before the popular South
Carolina-based band was about to launch into the song "I Only Wanna Be With
You."

Members of Hootie and the Blowfish, whose 1995 release Cracked Rear View
sold over 14 million copies, were caught off guard by the arrival of the
Mothership.

"The man who came out of the spaceship attempted to shoot me with something
he called a 'Bop Gun,'" lead singer Darius Rucker told reporters. "Somehow I
sensed it would be detrimental to my career as a singer."

Added a visibly distressed Rucker: "He also seemed to imply that if I let my
mind go free, something would happen to my bottom."

Bandmate Dean Felber was equally disturbed by the appearance of the cosmic
visitors. "Their mode of dress was, frankly, garish," Felber told reporters,
"not at all like the muted, earth-tone flannels and oversized cable-knit
sweaters appropriate for concert wear."

Sources speculate that an inadvertent hip shake by Rucker, who briefly lost
his balance stumbling over a stray mandolin, may have accidentally summoned
the Mothership.

It is also speculated that Rucker's powerful baritone voice may have
exceeded Hootie and the Blowfish's normal safety standards for "bass,"
inadvertently summoning the intergalactic funk saucer.

Said band member Mark Bryan,"We had just finished a really super rendition
of 'Let Her Cry' that sounded exactly like on the CD, when out of nowhere
these strange men came down shouting about getting up and doing the
backstroke, or something."

According to police, no serious damage was caused by the incident, but it
did result in a 45-minute concert delay, causing many in attendance to go to
bed later than they had wanted to.

"I had a 9 a.m. meeting the next day with a very important client," said
concertgoer/stockbroker James Norridge, 42, who did not go to sleep until
well after midnight. "I really needed to be at the top of my game."

Norridge's disappointment was typical of the 17,456 whites in attendance.

"I did not wish to get 'funked up,'" said Roger Kleist, 33. "If I did, I
would have attended a Dave Matthews Band concert."<<

_Combo!_ (1960, reissued on CD by RCA Victor 1997) is pretty
cool, in an up-tempo exotica way.  Includes a version of
"Tequila" with harpischord as part of the rhythm section.

Subject: (exotica) Jack's Twofer cds

Jack has really wowed me with the sale of 6 great and very very hard
to find albums on three twofer cds. I have been searching many years
for "How to Speak Hip" ever since I heard mention of it by Brian
Wilson on a Pet Sounds box.   The album is as good as I thought and it
comes with The Wierd, Weird World of Shorty Petterstein, whoa what a
bonus!  This weird weird album, its too beat to believe.

Barbarella makes her cd debut for the second time in the last two
years.  Great, great sound on this gold cd and its backed by
Countdown" by Jimie Haskell.  Wow this is way out there,  Jack can put
this into words much better than I can.  As Vic once said:
"Barberella, psychedella, it doesn't get much bettter than this."

Last and certainly not least is Richard Hayman's "Genuine Electric
Latin Love Machine"  paired wih the great Enoch Light's "Spaced Out"
Both classics are everything I hoped for, I can't recomend this enough.

Could you email me privately with details of this LP - it's not one I
have in my Command discography.

But, I gotta know.

You know the song Good Morning Starshine, from Hair?
Who does the version that they played on the Burger King commercial about a
year ago?

I got a few different soundtracks on LP, but none seem to match.

Anyone know?

Thanks,
Peter

Ross, I am with you on this.  I have to live only with two cuts from
"Spectacular Harps": Caravan and Hong Kong Holiday (off a sampler MGM
album). I wouldn't doubt these are the only great ones on the album anyway.
 I wonder if
his single on MGM, Solfeggio, was put on an album? That I would get!  The
tune is also known as "Song of the Nairobi Trio."

Robert Maxwell had at least a couple of albums on the later Command.  I
have Robert Maxwell Anytime (Command RS 913 SD).

Robert Maxwell was also involved with a group calling itself "The Fortune
Tellers" and recorded on Kapp.  His arrangement of Pagliacci was pretty
good, although I don't know what album it is on (another compilation LP).

Maxwell is one of those mysterious musicians to me...in that I don't know
enough about him to know what to look for.  I actually like this, though.
When going through records I'm like a kid eating Cracker Jacks...I will
eventually find the prize.

More than once I have bought thrift albums just because I wanted the inner
sleeves. I really like the Capitols with pictures of the Capitol Tower on
them.

Subject: (exotica) Marking Albums

I been wondering, do any of you DJ types mark your albums?  If so, how?
I really don't want to write on the cover.

I've been thinking about maybe putting a song rating for each song on =
the actual label of the record in pencil.  It would display ok and come =
off pretty well, probably.

Anyone have any other suggestions?
I'm just finding it hard to remember what songs I liked of this or that =
obscure album.

Ya know?

that version was the hit you heard on the radio in June 1969.  made it to
number 3 on the charts...went on to have another hit a couple months later
with "Jean" (from the Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie)

that would be william oliver swofford, better known, simply, as OLIVER...

i'm still very interested in that LP, peter...name a price..

No.  Haven't got a clue - I have the same CD as Gionni, and it has
absolutely no information on it, aside from saying that the original
vinyl has been transferred onto CD, so it's obviously not a new
recording.  Could definitely be Klaus Wunderlich - there's lots of
cheesy organ on it.  It's just soooo groovy...definitely one of my
favourite compilations!

Write it on a separate piece of paper and put that in the cover.

Maybe throw in some personal letters as well, for future thrift entertainment.

I have been struggling with this.  My best albums have a clear poly cover
on them, so I throw a large index card in the bag with the album where
I keep track of the cuts.  I am interested in both rating the selections
as well as making sure I don't play the same good ones over and over (don't
want to miss other good cuts).

I have, occasionally, done the light pencil bit...as long as its on the back
cover and only on white...so I can erase it later if need be.

Some of my most interesting used record albums were "evaluated" in pen...and
usually were quite accurate (usually noted the tempo or style for dancing
purposes).

So, while I like to keep my albums pristine, I also ask...for who?
