A big thumbs up, well put together, top tunes, quality pressing, fantastic,
now soundy, KPM style, danceable and worth every penny. Buy it now!

And I still can't get over the quality tracks on the French and German Get
Easy LPs. They are currently my faves and regularly make it onto tape and
minidisc compilations.

After all the talk about schlager this morning, I feel like I've had an
education. I always thought Schlager meant whipped cream and denoted sickly
sweet music. We live and learn.

Subject: (exotica) "Tiki" vs. "Jungle" exotica

It always seemed to me that a primitive "exotica" sound was captured
somewhat (though not in the refined Denny way)  in the early 30's with
Cugat in the song "Jungle Drums"  Maybe I'm way off here but that song
feels more then "latin" to me.  Its been injected with a dose of
Hollowood exotica of a mysterious distant land.  It seems that Cugat
in his radio shows was marketed as an exotic creature, though
definitely he was marketeed first as latin/rhumba.

Jungle  was definitely a Hollywood creation, with its roots in Tarzan
movies (and Actually the whole Tiki thing started much earlier. It was
a result of GI's whio fought in the Pacific during WW2 and bringing
back mementos to the mainland. Remember a big influence on exotica
music was the musical "South Pacific" which I believe hit Broadway
around the mid-50s (based on James Michener's book "Tales Of The
Souuth Pacific" which was a best seller was
> published in 1947). The whole thing really got big when "South
Pacific" was

 Also Martin Denny insists that his music was more of an "exotica"
rather than "tiki" sound as you mentioned. "Exotica" has always been a
mixture of world musics from the far east, middle east, Africa, Latin
America and Polyenisia. Denny denies having any real knowledge of
"tiki" culture, rather it was an adaptation of these worl d musical
elements into what were standards, jazz and easly listening music of
the time.

I wasn't buying the props for Lyman either, so I'm glad I'm not totally out of
it. I like a lot of the Lyman stuff, especially since he often threw more
"native" Hawaiin sounds (ukelele, etc) into the mix. But in almost all cases I
prefer the Denny arrangement for songs that overlap (though, to be fair, in some
cases Lyman did record some songs first (like Miserlou)).

Lyman's also a lot more "vibey" to be considered "tiki", IMHO.

This album is one great cut after the other.  It stands for me with
Karminsky Inflight comps as defining cds of the "now sound".  One of
the first and still one of the best.   Used? What good luck you have!
Its for sale hear at Virgin for $16 or so.

Its a fine LP culled from the British Studio 2 imprint, (recorded at
Abbey road's Studio 2).  A good selection of 60's style swinging
orchestral songs.  Not massively stereo or exotic,  more e-type music.
The vinyl is well pressed (better than some of the original releases,
the John Keating tracks are a lot fuller and more attacking than on his
LP).  it seems to have been compiled by the DJ's from London's
'Smashing' club.

Definitely well worth having.  Lots of fun.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me more about this one - I'm assuming
it would be a worthy addition to my collection? (I found a copy used,
but haven't bought it yet).  Ashley?  Johan?

No doubt they looked fabulous in their parkas
and sympatico silver / gold hair.  But no, they split up
in the mid-to-late 70s, I believe, after Burt
had some sort of emotional/physical/spiritual breakdown.
He was married to Carol Bayer-Sager for a while, with
whom he perpetrated the horrific "That's What Friends
are For", I believe.  Now he's married to some youngish
frosted blond woman.

I used to have such a crush on BB until I
learned that he's only 3 feet tall.

This was all in that Bacharach documentary that
was on PBS a couple of years back.

I think its (mais que nada) more of a Brazilian/Portugese colloquialism, but I
believe roughly translated means "But For Nothing" or "But what, nothing" or
maybe even "But whatnot". In New York slang, something along the lines of
"butkus" (.02 from yours true)

Not to mention "Arthur's Theme" (Christopher Cross) and "On My Own" (Patti
LaBelle & Michael McDonald). Gives one more appreciation for the
significance of under-appreciated Hal David.

Burt and Ms. Bayer Sager are said to have met on the Merv Griffin show,
which seems fitting. They were married in '82. The breakup with Angie was
in the early 70s. The current wife is supposed to be #4, so we're missing
one somewhere along the line. Wait a minute -- found her: singer Paula
Stewart in the 50s.

To Lou and list,

I may be mistaken about this, but I believe that the Archie characters were
based on Bob Montana's schoolmates from Haverhill (MA) High School ca late
'20s early '30s. John Goldwater was indeed the publisher of Archie comics
(he was the "J" in MLJ publications, who also put out some of the most
violent "Golden Age" comics during WW II), but the Archie series was pretty
much Montana's creation. Some of the people that the Archie characters were
based on (Big Moose, Betty, in particular) still live in the Haverhill and
southern NH area and have commented on Montana's works in the recent past.
The "Thinker" statue which can be seen in various depictions of Riverdale
High School in the strips and comics is still extant in front of the former
Haverhill High building (now the city police staion). Indeed, the name
"Riverdale" is probably a reflection of the fact that the city Haverhill is
hard on the banks of the Merrimac River.

Gotta tell ya about a great NEW soundtrack from 1999!
Pervirella on Dionysus Records. (recorded in Pervidelity!)
I saw the flick a few months back and i must say i like the sndtrk better.
The movie is debaucherous RnR fairytale made in the UK.
It reminds me of Monty Python meets the Dark Brothers.
the music however is all over the proverbial place.
and it is all really good, from jazzy organ bop to garage RnR
(a member of thee Headcoats stars in it), loungeyness and more.
 it has got an incredibly cheesey theme song i cannot get out of my head
that sorta reminds me of the theme song to the Hammer adventure The Lost
Continent.
along with the great cover and the purple vinly you cannnot go wrong.

bands include:  Francois Evans and the London Gay Symphony Orchestra
                Les hommes Qui Adorent Les Femmes
            The Diaboliks

this continues to bug me.  the Grammy Award was for the packaging -- not the

of course the packaging award in hollywood is probably treasured (if at not at

And it is exactly as I said.  It does not deal specifically with "Tiki stuff"
but continues where the Leopard Skin (which they now call "Fuzzy Skin")

I've seen it both ways, Mais Que Nada and Mas Que Nada.

According to that funny but helpful tool the Alta Vista Translator, Mas Que
Nada, gives you "But That Nothing" and Mais Que Nada gives you "More Than
Nothing".  If you go to BMI's site, it is listed as "Mas Que Nada"

According to this page http://www.brmusic.com/uptodate/up1/lyrics.htm

The winner is... "Mas Que Nada"

Here are the lyrics in English:

BUT NO WAY=20
Oaria raio=20
Oba Oba Oba (repeat)=20

But no way=20
Get out of my way=20
I want to pass=20
'Cause the samba's hot=20

Black man's samba you=20

But no way=20
A samba as great as this=20
You're not gonna want me
To get to the end.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but if it wasn't for the packaging many of
us wouldn't care. There are lots of us who will be turned by anything with
"tiki" in the title. Thus, the fact that the UL folks have a good tradition of
packaging actually makes a big difference in this case.

As someone who is in the "any release of this music is fine by me" camp, I'm
looking forward to the Tiki Sampler for the music, and yes also for the
packaging.

I saw all that Ultralounge crap in the CD department of HMV and it looked

Subject: (exotica) Mossman, Springfield, Tapscott obits

                          *Stuart Mossman
    WINFIELD, Kan., (AP) -- Stuart Mossman, a guitar maker, entertainer and
entrepreneur, died Tuesday after a long hospitalization following a heart
attack. He was 56.
    Mossman built 6,000 guitars from 1968 to 1984, first in his garage and
later in a factory with 28 employees.
    His guitars attracted the attention of professionals and  celebrities,
including John Denver, Eric Clapton, Albert Lee, Doc Watson, Hank Snow, Cat
Stevens and Merle Travis.
    The Carradine brothers -- actors David, Keith and Robert -- own Mossman
guitars and found him parts in the movies ``The Long Riders,'' ``Cloud
Dancer'' and the made-for-TV movie ``Murder Ordained.''
    Mossman stopped making guitars when he suffered severe headaches and a skin
condition caused by the chemicals used in guitar-making.
    The company was sold to a former employee and moved to Garland, Texas,
where Mossman guitars are still being built.

                         *Dusty Springfield
    LONDON (AP) -- Singer Dusty Springfield, whose husky voice fueled such
1960s hits as ``Son of a Preacher Man'' and ``Wishin' and Hopin','' has died
after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 59.
    Springfield died Tuesday night at her home in Henley-on-Thames, about 30
miles west of London, said her agent, Paul Fenn.
    ``She was one of the icons of the music industry,'' Fenn said. ``She was
one of the most talented female singers of this century.''
    Springfield's first hit was 1964's ``I Only Want To Be With You,'' followed
by a string of smashes, including ``I Just Don't Know What To Do With
Myself'' and ``You Don't Have to Say You Love Me.''
    In the 1990s, she resurfaced with another hit, teaming up with the Pet Shop
Boys for the single ``What Have I Done to Deserve This.''
    Springfield's breast cancer was diagnosed in 1994 shortly after she
recorded her most recent album, ``A Very Fine Love.''

    LONDON, March 3 (UPI) -- British pop singer Dusty Springfield has died
after a lengthy battle with breast cancer. She was 59.
    Her agent, Paul Fenn, said today she passed away Tuesday night at her
Henley-on-Thames home in Oxfordshire, some 30 miles west of London.
    Born in north London as Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien,
Springfield won early fame for her 1964 Motown-influenced hit ``I Only Want
To Be With You.''
    Among her other hit records during the 1960s were ``Wishin and Hopin,'' and
``Son of a Preacher Man.''
    Her agent Paul Finn told the British Broadcasting Corp.: ``She was one of
the icons of the music industry. She was one of the most talented female
singers of this century.''
    Her doctors first diagnosed her cancer in 1994.
    Among those reacting to news of her death, Gerry Marsden, lead singer of
the group Gerry and the Pacemakers said: ``I think Dusty would want us to
remember her now with a load of fun. I don't think she would want us sitting
around moping.
    And Mike Gill, a friend and business associate of the singer's for nearly
32 years, said: ``We're all terrifically sad this morning. She was very warm
and great fun to be with.''
    Springfield was also widely-known for her blonde beehive hair and trademark
heavy-black ``panda-style'' make-up.
    She took on the Springfield name after working with her brothers Tom and
Tim Field in a folk trio, The Springfields.
    Her career nose-dived in the 1970s, when in 1972, claiming she was ``bored
with Britain,'' she picked up and went to Los Angeles and lived there for 15
years.
    But the Pet Shop Boys rediscovered her in 1987 and her collaboration with
them produced, ``What Have I Done To Deserve This?,'' which reached No. 2 on
the British charts.
    Even after her cancer diagnosis she continued to record -- making her most
recent album ``A Very Fine Love in 1995.''
    Reflecting on her cancer diagnosis, she once told The British newspaper,
The Mail on Sunday, ``When hard times come, my family knows how to stare it
in the face and get on with it.''
    She was to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later this month
in New York, along with Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen.

Unconfirmed reports that Lulubelle, of Nashville's "Lulubelle and Scotty"
and Hee Haw fame, has died.
- -------------------------------------------------
Horace Tapscott, Jazz Pianist and Community Advocate, 64
By BEN RATLIFF,NYTimes
     Horace Tapscott, whose accomplishments as a jazz pianist and band
leader were matched by his legacy as a local community organizer, died on
Saturday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 64.
     The cause was cancer, his manager and publicist, Corine Hunter, said.
     Few jazz musicians with an individual style and a recognized name
reject the promise of an international solo career, but Tapscott, for the
most part, stayed at home.
     His anchor was the Union of God's Musicians and Artists Ascension
(Ugmaa), a collective he set up in the Watts neighborhood in 1961 to find
employment for musicians, dancers and visual artists in Los Angeles.
     He also taught and guided hundreds of youths who could not afford music
lessons. One of his methods of teaching young students was to enlist them in
his Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, a group he conducted, supplied with
compositions and kept together until his death.
     Tapscott was born in Houston and was taken to Los Angeles at the age of
9 by his mother, a stride pianist and tuba player named Mary Lou Malone.
They lived close to Local 767, the city's black musicians union, and he
often spent time around older musicians and friends of the family like Buddy
Collette and Gerald Wilson.
     As a teen-ager, Tapscott was a trombone player during the golden era of
Central Avenue, which was the Los Angeles equivalent of New York's 125th
Street -- a mecca of black American entrepreneurship and entertainment.
     Among his friends were soon-to-be-famous young players from the area,
including the trumpeter Don Cherry, the saxophonists Eric Dolphy and Frank
Morgan and the clarinetist John Carter.
     But by the early 1950's the scene had changed: the black and white
musicians' unions integrated, enabling blacks to find work playing on film
and television soundtracks, and simultaneously the Central Avenue clubs
sputtered out.
     After spending four years in the United States Air Force during the
1950's, Tapscott began to think about new ways that jazz could gain some
measure of respect and support within the black population of Los Angeles; a
disillusioning tour of the South that he took with Lionel Hampton's big band
in 1958 sharpened those ideas and led him to organize his own union.
     The organization limped along until 1965, when the Watts neighborhood
of Los Angeles erupted in riots. Tapscott and his Arkestra rode through the
thick of it, playing on the backs of flatbed trucks. In the aftermath of the
riots, the union got some state and Federal funding, and the Arkestra began
to cohere through weekly performances, often in universities and churches.
     In 1968, Tapscott composed and arranged music for a memorable album by
the alto saxophonist Sonny Criss called "Birth of the New Cool." The first
recording under his own name, "The Giant Is Awakened," appeared in 1969 and
introduced the saxophonist Arthur Blythe, who would become an important
player in New York a decade later.
     The Arkestra was not recorded until 1978, and despite all its
continuous activity -- musicians like David Murray, Butch Morris and Azar
Lawrence were members for a time -- it never became a touring band; its
first European concert was in 1995. ( Tapscott himself had never played a
significant concert in New York until he was booked at the Village Vanguard
in the summer of 1991.)
     He began playing the piano in the late 1950's, after a car crash that
weakened his embouchure for the trombone. He developed a loose-limbed,
Thelonious Monk-inspired style, with banged dissonances and dark, seductive
harmonies; it suited the percussive vamps and odd time signatures of his
writing. Seven of his recordings since the mid-70's were released by the
small record label Nimbus; other recordings since the 80's appeared on the
Hat Hut and Arabesque labels.
     The latest, from 1997, is the trio recording "Thoughts of Dar es Salaam."
     Tapscott is survived by his wife, Cecilia; a sister, Robbie Byrd of
Dallas; nine children; 21 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
