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

If you are referring to the '60s rock record on Mainstream, I'm pretty sure
I saw that reissued somewhere recently, though I forget if it was vinyl or CD.

I noticed it because I have an original copy -- which, oddly enough, is a
British pressing. A really good album.

But enuf about him - let me tell you about my office. My office is one floor
below the offices of Tommy Boy Records. Sometime over the weekend one of the
water sprinkler pipes in their office froze and burst. When I got to my
office yesterday, my ceiling was 4 feet lower than expected - actually it
was resting on my PC. The floor seemed a bit higher as well, what with all
the water and floating things. Most objects in my room went beyond "damp to
the touch." Including my PC. Today, the insurance men took away my PC.
Supposedly it's gone to some wizard types who will extract the contents of
my C drive before the thing shorts itself out once electricity is passed
through its bloated and briney guts. I've managed to install a mail reader
on a dinky 33MHz PC I've got at home. I don't have enuf speed, power or
space for a news reader or browser. SO, until my old machine is returned, no
obits from me.

But, just to keep you busy until that odd feature of the Exotica List is
resumed, I give you this small handful of URLs:

>Yes indeed it is. And speaking of, can anyone offer a few words

 I found this LP a couple of months ago. I'd have to say I wasn't all too
excited upon listening to it. I had great expectations, what with the
goofy space helmeted Rugolo and cool graphics on the cover. There's not a
lick of any kind of "outer space" flavor, not even a hint of theremin or
similar "space" sounds. At least the Richard Diamond LP has the private
eye/crime jazz thing going for it. Rugolo is a great jazz band arranger,
and he doesn't slouch on Outer Space but ther is really nothing *exotica*
about this album. Basically it's very straight, tightly arranged,
slightly cool jazz music.

Subject: (exotica) Re: Doris

Did you give the world some info about Doris Svensson today baby?

Doris started to sing 1962 in a band called Spaceman. She also sang in a
Swedish band called Strangers. Then Doris played a lot of Georgie Fame and
Ray Charles records and became basist and singer in Plums that recorded
many nice singles for EMI. Plums' music is a hybrid of pop, blues and jazz.
You can hear that Doris also liked early Dusty Springfield records. After
her twentysecond birthday Doris was dating Berndt Egerbladh (the Quincy
Jones of Norrland, Sweden). A few months later they recorded the groovy
record: "Did you give the world some love today Baby", which marks the
highlight in Doris' career.
 The drummer on the record, Janne "Loffe" Carlsson was also drummer in his
own duo Hansson & Carlsson (available on CD). He is today a well known
actor and TV-profile (but be happy if your'e not able to watch his TV
program "Laat kameran gaa") in Sweden.


Cheers, Hans Adell

P.S. Thanks Kjell Haeglund!

finding a cleaner copy that the sound of the actual pressing is a little
weak.)

(Leonard Rosenman; Amos Records 1970).

Subject: (exotica) Loon-A-Tiki Lounge

For Xmas I got the coolest gift (next to a Shag painting) one could ask for
and I was wondering if anyone else on the list happened to buy one of these in
the past year:

A limited edition lithograph called: Loon-A-Tiki Lounge.  Its a cartoon
painting of Bugs, Porky Pig, Yosemite Sam, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat and
Daffy Duck at a tiki bar surrounded by animated tikis and they are wearing
Hawaiian shirts and Fez hats and holding drinks.

The back of the painting says the following:

"The enchantment of a South Seas paradise is discovered by a brotherhood of
Looney Tunes and brought to life in this limited edition lithograph by
celebrated Warner Bros. Animation artists Alan Bodner and Harryt Sabin.  Bugs
raises a carrot juice cocktail in a toast to the spirit of the post WWII
years, when many an American serviceman longed to recreate exotic island
imagery in their peace time lives..... Loon-A-Tiki is a very special limited
edition print featuring a lush combination of fine art lithography augmented
with serigraphy.  Reporduced on archival quality paper stock, whereby special
attention was paiud to capturing the vibrant colors from the artists' original
painting.  Produced in a limited edition of only 350 peices; all print plates
and print screens were destroyed upon completion of the edition.  In the final
step of production, each print is hand-signed by both artists."

I have #302 of 350 made.  My sister just happened into Warner Bros. store and
saw it and they were in the process of recalling all remaining prints to the
archives.  The one I got came from the Sacramento area.

Just curious if anyone else purchased one (makes you wonder who bought the
first 300 of them, since I don't recall anyone posting to the list about it.)

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.

Ahhh, but there's a loophole!  The Philips home CD burners can be tricked
into thinking they're burning onto a 'consumer' CD when you can use the
inexpensive computer discs!   I've done 300 and going strong....check out:

I can heartily recommend this to everyone, they sound phenomenal, and are
CHEAP, plus they won't tie up your computer!

On the'vinyl-to-CD' thread, I have been archiving all my moog LP's (over
100) to CD with serious attention paid to packaging, etc....and it is a
blast.  A five-disc shuffle-play moogathon must not be missed!!  Never will
I foresake my vinyl, but this will travel with me in the car, etc.

I wanna PARTY with you, cowboy!

On the CD packaging tip:
The next generation of CD's that I compile (or whatever) will likely contain
all the digital elements needed to create either CD or Cassette packaging...
In other words, use the leftover space on the disk to archive several
different formats of of labels, etc. to accompany recordings made from the
disks I have distributed.

This way, the distribution chain can be lengthened a link or two. I hope it
can be made simple enough for just about anyone to make more copies and
share em with friends. One catch.. the graphics files won't reproduce on a
Standalone CD-R deck - They will have to be made on a PC to
propagate the data files.

Just a (half baked) thought.

I search shops, dig through bins at fairs, scour the Internet and pester
private dealers for records. Then I go into HMV opposite where I work only
to see scores of records I'm looking for readily available on CD. Its sick.
Sick sick sick. Vinyl is the way. Vinyl is a mini-rebellion against the
commercialism of corporate dominance. Vinyl is about love, romanticism and
enthusiasm. CD is commercialism gone ape. When the next format comes along,
will we all slavishly buy into it? Of course.
If you're going to bootleg something, you do it for the love. Do it on
vinyl - It costs more, it's more difficult to produce and there is less of
a market for it. Now if that isn't infallible logic, I don't know what is.

I think you'll find most people would prefer to buy a CD recorder than

Rather than a bootleg issue of a rare (and as yet unreissued) record,

at one of those many  Stock, Hausen & Walkman performances that

I know that program times vary on our local PBS stations...but tonight in

8pm.

Someone on the list said they doubted RICHARD DIAMOND would ever be
released on CD. Is that a fact-based doubt or speculation.  That would be a
shame, as that record pops up either wrecked or expensive most of the time.
How is Pete Ruggolo these days, anyone know?  BTW, anyone out there have

> How is Pete Ruggolo these days, anyone know?

To the best of my knowledge, Pete Rugolo is alive and well.  He did
the music for a film last year, "This World, Then the Fireworks".
Haven't seen the film (got bad reviews) but the soundtrack's
available on Varese Sarabande.  It's vintage Rugolo.  Recommended!

A couple of years ago, one of our jazz announcers here at the radio
station  attended a tribute to Pete Rugolo at a jazz festival on the
West Coast.  Afterwards, he and some others got invited back to
Pete's house to hang out.  The way i heard it, when the evening ended
hours later, Pete started handed out sealed copies of his old albums
to the departing guests!   Imagine!  Sealed copies of "Jack the
Ripper", "Thriller" and "Richard Diamond", perhaps?

> another record with a nice bubble helmet pic but no space music?

Right.  Just pretty straightforward Rugolo-esque jazz with a space
age cover.  The music on the album is from earlier Rugolo LPs,
including "Music for Hi Fi Bugs".  I think even the track "Stereo
Space Man", which leads off the album is simply a re-titled tune from
a previous album.

And I highly second that!  What an achievement, especially at his age, what
was it then, 81? The percussion is kill-ah!

AKKK!  My JACK THE RIPPER is barely playable!  Did get a nice copy of
RUGOLOMANIA recently, though.
While we're on this...another recommendation by Pete's colleague Stan
Kenton is his take on WEST SIDE STORY...I was never a big fan of the music
from that show, but dang, is it ___intense__!  I guess if I had just seen
them ol' Cole Porters on the stage  only, I wouldn't be so crazy about
standards, either!

Who the heck is Willie Bobo?

I just got the Talkin' Verve with a Twist comp (a fine, fine piece of work,
I must say)
and he does this fantastic version of It's Not Unusual.

I've never heard of him before.  What else does he do?
Anything worth grabbing?

Subject: (exotica) Henry Jerome

I think that's his name.

I got an Admiral Stereo demo record, which is pretty good, and it's got a
few cuts from Henry Jerome.  They are all great!


It's got a Decca label on it.  Anyone know of any good or bad records by
him?  Who was he?


I think he's also on some of the UL discs, but I don't remember them being
as good as the tracks on this comp.


It's a really funny record.  You know, most demo records do the stereo
thing...
THIS IS THE LEFT CHANNEL!
                                                            THIS IS THE
RIGHT CHANNEL!

etc.etc.
This one is classic, because they harp on Admirals PHANTOM THIRD CHANNEL!

It's the Center!

WHOA!
Kuh-Raaaaazy, man!

It's really funny, because they keep talking about how most stereos just
have a left and right, but Admiral Stereos have the PHANTOM THIRD CHANNEL!

And they pronounce it all in caps too:
Admiral Stereo's        !!! ~P~H~A~N~T~O~M~ ~T~H~I~R~D~ ~C~H~A~N~N~E~L~ !!!


Cracks me up.

===============


Andy's "Under Paris Skies" album was reissued on CD about six/nine months ago.
The Lp itself does not turn up all that frequently in the used bins, really.

I'm "up to" around 50 Andy LP's now... I love the guy.

Strongly recommended for stellar covers of late sixties
pop tunage, Andy's "Happy Heart" Lp, FYI.

I had the pleasure of meeting him at his home in Sherman Oaks a year or so
ago, and he was in excellent health. It was when he was about to record the
score to "........Fireworks", his first writing in a number of years. Its a
great score, and the movie isn't all that bad either (it's no 'Citizen
Kane', but......well, it's no 'Petey Wheatstraw' either.......)

that's correct. It's a compilation of earlier Mercury recordings, presented
in stereo for the first time.

I know Im late on this thread, but my first tune of 1999 was Out of the
Deapths of Sorrow by Dead Can Dance.

This is off their Spleen and Ideal album, i think...i have a few of theirs,
and they all kind of mesh in my head, so don't flame me if I am wrong.

But it was the first track on the disc, so....
