Re: BOOT...
go for it.  I cast my vote for "The Tiffany Shade" (LP of the same name, but I
may be your only customer.


Or, a mint copy of Pete Rugolo's "Richard Diamond"  & "The Terror" LPs I would
GLADLY pay you $15 dollars for, and PRAISE you for making this wonderful music
avaliable to people (since I doubt the rekkid co's ever will).

Another idea for a great boot.  Varese Sarabande has done a wonderful release
of the complete Planet Of the Apes OST.  TO my knowledge none of the other
Apes titles are out on disc.  And the vinyl is hard to find and expensive as
hell.  Please boot them for my, and humanities sake!!!!

Good luck & best wishes,
Larry

Imagine Liquid Liquid sampling Perez Prado, among others.  It's
primitive-sounding sampling, with a strong beat - most of the tracks are
4 or 5 minutes long, and they go all over the place - ranging from one
with tons of sitars and tablas, to one with a very obvious Prado sample.
You'd like it.

I can't imagine this happening but if you do decide to do it, I might be
talked into donating a copy of "MORE Bagels and Bongos" to complete the CD.

was bummed out cuz it was mono and ALMOST passed on it till I saw the letter

It's a pretty clean copy too, bu not clean enough for a bootleg... Maybe

I've got a VG++ copy of "1987" by the JAMs, which I could leave to you
for 9.500 $.

If that's too expensive,
http://www.vinyllives.com/rock.html
offers a sealed copy of "White Noise" for 50$.

Or... how about "U2" bei Negativeland, a record with a great RIAA &
supreme court history?

  U2 by Negativland and 1987 by the Jams can be downloaded
  completely as mp3-files at
    http://www.detritus.net/archive/

  (as well as some other banned records such as
      Plunderphonic & Rubaiyat by John Oswald)

They were definetely french, and had commercial success also in
Italy, where they were quite famous in the late seventies disco craze
era. 3 ladies, the long blonde haired one fronting the trio had some
previous fame in the sixties, both in France and in Italy, as she
recorded under the name "Evy" some singles. Her best track was
"L'abito non fa il beatnik", an uptempo r&b italian version of
Spencer Davis Group's "Keep On Runnin'", sung with a potent and raw
voice style a la Lulu. Can't remember "Bamalama" nor "Destruction",
but "Black Is Black" (cover of the 6ts spanish combo "Los Bravos")
was huge and well remebered still nowadays in the discos.

How about the Surfmen's "Exotic Island?"

On a similar note - I'm sure it's possible to make a CD from a vinyl =
source (Ron just mentioned this....).

How is it done?  What's the cost of the equipment etc.?

I've got a Benjamin Britten boys' choir LP that hasn't been released on CD =
(I don't think) and I'd love to make a CD......

Bootlegs. I see so many of them. Expensive soundtracks, Moog records, e=
tc
etc. I think the thing to do is to select something that has just been
poked into the conciousness of the record buying/DJing public. This mea=
ns
finding an outstanding track or two that have recently appeared on a
compilation from a very valuable LP. The more people that have heard th=
e
track on the compilation, the better because their accumulator minds wi=
ll
be working overtime about the availability of the original LP that the
track came from.
Based on these criteria, I nominate Anandar Shankar's 'Anandar Shankar =
and
his Music' LP. Its an Indian original LP with frantic moog and sitar
dancers that is currently doing the rounds for =A3400. Recently redisco=
vered
after two of its tracks, Dancing Drums and Streets of Calcutta were
featured on the Blue Juice LP.
I'd do it but my copy of the LP looks like it has been run over by a tr=
ain.

Another contender (which I've been considering) is Les Baxter's Hells
Belles soundtrack (I know I keep going on and on about it) as tracks fr=
om
it have recently been featured on Dusty Fingers, Funky Soundtracks and =
Sack
of Soul IV. The hip hop fraternity would leap at this one for the HUGE
breaks and the DJs want it for three or four good dancable tracks.
Collectors want it for its rarity, Exoticats want it coz its Les Baxer,=

soundtrack collectors want it for its rarity.

Other contenders (rarity, value, public counciousness): Bullitt, They C=
all
Me Mr Tibbs, Perry/Kingsley (or just Kingsley), Andrew Oldham Orchestra=

(sampled by The Verve for Bitter Sweet Symphony), Lord Sitar, Deep Thro=
at
soundtrack, Liquid Liquid.

So choose something thats in the counciousness of the record buying pub=
lic
already (because you need to sell all the copies in less than a week).

Dick Hyman's Eclectic Electrics has just been done here and the fiend h=
as
put Give It up or Turn it Loose as an extra track because it recently
appeared on the Blue Juice compilation and its the one track that peopl=

want. In fact, maybe you could do Age of Electronicus. Also, try to do

That's funny, so did Varese for the *legitimate* CD issue...!  They also
put on Kolumbo and Time is Tight...

Quite why anyone would want to get a home-burned CD copy of Electric
Eclectics when there is a perfectly good legit copy freely available is
beyond me...

> In fact, maybe you could do Age of Electronicus.

I agree that this should be out on CD - it's a pity Varese didn't use
the opportunity of reissuing Electric Eclectics to do a twofer...

Basically, what you need is a PC with a sound card that can record and a
CD-R deck. Most CD-R decks come bundled with software. My CD-R deck came
with Toast (for the Mac). It even comes with software for extracting
audio tracks from CD's.

Use the sound card to record the vinyl, put it in the format that the
mastering software wants and burn the CD (greatly simplified). I'm still
learning this stuff myself.

The difference over the cost of the PC (or Mac) is less than $400.

I was told by the record store  that this cd will not play well at all
on older cd players.  The record store was nformed by the artist of
this fact.  What a shame.  I wanted to record it for another lister to
hear and it kept skipping on my old cd player at home.  It plays fine
on my 1998 cd player at work which is where I normally listened to it.

Making CDs at home;
You can always buy one of the Philips home CD makers.  These will make CDs
from any source, analog or digital and they sound great.  I know I just got
the 2 deck version.  It costs between $550 and $600 depending on where you buy
it.  Pioneer also has out a single disc version.

And yes you can copy CDR to CDR, so if you do one from several sources with
complex mixes you can make as many copies as your heart desires (or wallet
allows as the blank discs are about $6 and will play on any CD player --
rewritable discs will only play on the CD recorders and cost a whopping $20
each).

Sometimes it's just the laser out of alignment.  However, lasers
apparently diminish in performance after time, and have more difficulty
reading discs, which leads to skipping, or not reading entire discs at
all.  Depending on how much your machine is worth, you can either buy a
new player, or pay to have the laser checked and/or replaced (usually
way too expensive to consider, unless you have a machine worth upwards
of $1000, and want to keep it).  Skipping was the first sign that my
laser was going - and it got really irritating!!!

As mentioned before, a disadvantage of the home CD makers is that they
only work with the special serialized media. You can get the regular
cd-r media that work with the computer cd-r drives much cheaper. I just
bought 2 ten packs of sony cd-r media for $40 and got a $40 rebate. You
do the math.

No, there will be source music from the time period covered (60's/70's),
among other things.

But there will be plenty of Esquivel music, including songs you've never heard.

That's Roger Miller, ex-Mission Of Burma and ex-Birdsongs Of The Messozoic.
Current memeber of the Alloy Orchestra, and television composer. Very
talented guy.

I still use an Emerson player I got in 1986.  Needless to say it has
become a very temperamental machine, sometimes downright infuriating.
I'm such a cheap-ass, I'll probably won't get another one till' this one
explodes or something.

Subject: (exotica) Haack and Joe

Just got back from the Salvation Army where I found a couple of gems:

1: Dance and Listen Again and Again with Miss (Esther) Nelson and
Bruce (Haack), V. 3, Dimension 5, 1966.

Of the featured instrument, the Hohner Cembalet, the jacket notes say
it "à is the most revolutionary electromechanical keyboard instrument
of our time." It "à can duplicate the sounds of guitars, bass, harp,
zither, harpsichord and other stringed instrumentsà".  I bought the
reissue of Electric Lucifer from that playlist guy and have enjoyed it
much. I can't wait to get this home and onto the hi-fi. Track list is:

Side 1: Introduction; Shadows; Popcorn; Coco Bouzouki; Pots and Pans;
Little Pigs. Side 2: Clocks; A Little Concert; More Machines; The
Hamburger Song; The Stubborn Bird.

2. Joe Longthorne, Roxon Records, Ltd, 1982. The bouquet of this
cheese was so strong I could not resist. "Joe", featured on the cover
with a big blond feathered & blowdried butt-cutt 'do, a silk shirt
unbuttoned to  the unspeakables, collar raised, gold chains, aspect
festooned with a last-call smileà you get the picture, offers "vocal
impressions of the world's great artists, from Frank Sinatra to David
Bowie, and Barry Manilow to Johnny Mathis à and not being one to
forget the Ladies, we have the added bonus of hearing à Miss Shirley
Bassey, Miss Cleo Laine, and many, many more, delivered with a panache
that only Joe can achieve. à His touching tributes to Elvis Presley
and John Lennon leave us almost weeping and wondering at the enormous
range of his talent." Wow. And it is signed, by Joe.

Subject: RE: (exotica)  DO it! (CDR recording)

>
> And yes you can copy CDR to CDR,

I use a variety of methods... My favorite "Quick n dirty" method is to make
a Minidisk master and trim up the tracks using the nifty edit function and
then port it digitally to the The Marantz MD recorder. I use the version
that records on the "data" type CDR's.  The Consumer CD-R Decks can be
fooled into using the cheaper disks, just put in one of the expensive disks
and put the machine into record mode. Pull the tray out with your fingers
NOT the eject button, and replace the "Music" cd with the "data" CD. There
is NO difference between the two, except the expensive one has some I.D.
Code on it to tell the machine that it is a music cd (read TAXED cd)

For things like the Christmas compilation, I record each track to Hard drive
and burn them on a CD-R drive after cleaning and ducking the audio for each
track.
If I am recording an entire vinyl disk to digital, I record it as a whole,
letting it track through the entire side, and then divide the tracks at the
beginning of each song, thereby preserving the pacing of the original vinyl
record and the sound of the needle tracking through.

CD-RW's have been problematic for me... They  don't work in a lot of cd
players, and I don't see much use for 'em when the Minidisk is such a robust
editing format AND rewriteable. Minidisk uses some kind of compression
scheme, but for the life of me, I can't hear the diference.

Wow! a dual deck recorder would be cool!  I am wondering if both sides
record? Now THAT would be something, recording two disks at a time. What a
timesaver!

Ron

Formerly (and may still be) with Birdsongs of the Mesozoic. And undoubtedly

Remember The Boys from Brazil? This guy looks like a beefed-up Heino.


     A Night with One Man and 100 Stars

     Sensational singer and impressionist Joe Longthorne will be
taking Northampton by storm when he plays live atDerngate on Thursday
4 December. With his outstanding voice and unique talent for
impersonation Joe is one of the UK's most dynamic entertainers,
regularly winning standing ovations from his legions of fans who
follow him up and down the country.

For one night only audiences will be able to enjoy all their
favourites under one roof from Julio Inglesias to Tom Jones and
Shirley Bassey. With the support of a superb orchestra Joe does them
all, bringing a hundred famous voices to one stage. Each concert that
Joe does is different as he bases his impersonations from requests in
the audience, his infamous impersonation of Shirley Bassey, entwining
hands and all, has become a favourite amongst audiences and the star
herself has said 'Joe does me better than I do myself'

Joe had his first big break as a singer-impressionist when he appeared
on the London Weekend series of Search
for a Star in 1981. His success on the show led to appearances at The
London Palladium and the following year he received the Variety Club
of Great Britain's coveted award for the Most Promising Artist of the
Year. Today, following numerous TV appearances and world-wide tours he
is recognised as one of the most dynamic entertainers in British show
business.

Speaking about his forthcoming tour Joe Longthorne said:

'I can't wait to get back on the road. I love the thrill of live
performances and get such a high from the audience reaction. When I
look out and see them all on their feet shouting for more I can't
think of anywhere in the world I would rather be. It is a fantastic
feeling and one that I wouldn't swap for anything. I have had a great
season over the summer in Blackpool and am looking forward to a
brilliant tour. The future really does look good!'

Subject: (exotica) I've done it...

This is an ongoing effort over here. cuts from the guglielmi are
available in a compilation. The issue for me is that liner notes
and cover art are expensive, and if i stick to one-off CDs burned
and mixed "custom" or nearly so, the cost to the purchaser can be
$10 for a full hour of listening, making incredible and rare music
more widely available.

I love the covers and they are part of what makes the original
recordings valuable and part of the 'vinyl experience', but being
able listen to the records or selected cuts is still primary for
me.

Opinions?

Yes, my copy i stereo, and very nice stereo at that.  Unfortunatly, mine is
somewhat scratched.

Re:  I'm Gonna DO it!
How will you decide which two-fer to make?  Are you going to poll the list
after you devise a short list of titles?  I think that no matter what you
decide on many on the list will opt out on buying it.

I see my vote for a two-fer of the non-CD released Planet of the Apes series
OSTs has been seconded.  Anyone have them all?  Anyone recommend which two
would be best to put on a two-fer?  They are so hard to find.  I only have the
Varese Sarbande one.
