I know it's a bit late,  but if anyones in the Brighton area tonight
(Thursday) I'm going to be playing some records down at Bar Cuba on the
seafront, 10-11,  warming up for Viva Las Vegas.  Quids in, cheap drinks
etc, etc. Playing probably faster stuff,  Italian / German style,  with
a little Tom Jones in there for fun.  Bit of a warm up for the return of
my regular spot after Easter.  Good to see anyone who's around

His Persuasive Trombone albums never did a whole lot for me, but I have his 21
Trombones LP which is pretty good.  Not as legendary as Dick Hyman's moog
records or even the first Persuasive Percussion LP, but loaded with rich
layers of mellow brass sound.

Richard Thompson sang a version of this song--yes, in Okinawan!--on the
1987 Rhino album by French Frith Kaiser Thompson titled _Live, Love,

Arrgh, I hate it when this happens! I grab a record but decide not to keep
it--then someone on the list raves about somebody and I start to wonder
if I totally missed the point and should have hung onto it.

I'm sorry Jill I can't give you any useful info about the LP I had, except
that it was on the Ranwood label (which was Lawrence Welk's label, no?)

I definitely thought it was parallel to Free Design in some way: "flower
pop" with trippy yet essentially wholesome lyrics. At the time I was
slogging through a pile of 100 obscurities from about 1969 and was feeling
a bit ruthless--and for some reason it didn't grab me enough to keep it.
I do remember having the scary thought that maybe Free Design was the tip
of a rather large iceberg.

sigh,

I ended up rather liking this--though at first I had my doubts about Lounge
Piano Latin. Play "Atlantide" and if you dig it, give the rest a try.

David Carroll "Mexico"

Score! A bit atypical for Carroll, for some reason he did this LP with
Nashville session men in a TJB-meets-"teen beat" style. "Perfida" done as a
Twist absolutely rocks.

>"The Versatile Henry Mancini"

Score! Mancini covers the Tropical Exotica standards. Very ethereal and
moody. Try "Poinciana."

As the list's token "non-German with fanatical interest in german culture"
representative, here goes... He is a German bandleader who did a
huge number of Film & TV soundtracks.  There is a very good compilation
of his stuff on Motor and I actually found a 2 LP set in a store here only
last weekend of Film-TV music.  I find most of what I've heard so
far closer to the easy (a la Hort Jankowski) sound than Gert Wilden's
wild sound but wouldn't be at all surprised if he has a broader range.
Speaking of... I wonder if there is more Gert Wilden out there closer to
"I Told You Not to Cry" available as this song is just about my favourite
of the last several years!   I also wish I could see some of these films
but I've had no luck finding anything of the sort in North America, even
through the big suppliers of cult films I know.  I wonder if they play on
German TV much?

Subject: (exotica) Re: Del Close/Inner Dialogue/Introduction

I'm new to the list and wanted to chirp up and say hiya.
    First off, I was sorry to hear about the death of Del Close- finding
information about him has been difficult, and I unfortunately learned more
about him from his obit than I had from anyone who wanted to celebrate his
accomplishments while he was still living.  Isn't that always the way?
Anyone who can give me some tidbits on Close's "How To Speak Hip" partner
John Brent?
    As for Inner Dialogue, they do strike me as more immediately accessible
(at least accessible to the ears of people who collect screwy records) than
the Free Design.  And the while the arrangements on both Dialogue and Design
lps yield more with further listening, Inner Dialogue doesn't stray back and
forth between originals and covers, there's connections between songs, etc.
But you can't beat the skewed perspective of the lyrical themes in "Kije's
Ouija" (3rd world guru foretells of world's sadness/happiness, only to have
narrator discover he knew outcome of guru's predictions all along), "My
Brother Woody" (Forrest Gump, perhaps?), or that odd song about the
reincarnated dolphin!  I'd even argue that there are some odd Freudian
overtones behind the celebration of the existence of Canada.  I too have
heard of the existence of a second Inner Dialogue lp, but I haven't ever
seen a copy.  What was that about children's music, btw?
    Looking forward to being around.

I feel like this Polynesian Percussion LP by Cates is one of the "unsung"
greats of exotica.  Last time I posted that someone said it was too
"pedestrian" for them.  A curious word and I am sure the person who uses it
remembers it.

Well, yes, it's partially true...Not "pissed", because somebody who does as

it time now to make my plea.  I have been looking for PROJECT COMSTOCK
forever, it seems.   A friend dubbed a rraaahhhther scratchy copy for me,
but's all I have.  I mean, I lived in Florida most my life, and NEVER found

and....FOGITABOUTIT! So, if anybody sees a copy on line or anywhere being
sold, please, let me know!  Having this record would mean a great deal to
me, since the likelyhood of it ever being released is, um, light years
away.

I totally agree. I love exchanging tapes with you all, as I already
do with many listers. I have recently completed the file of all my
"groovy lounge" - as I call them - records. Every single record,
compilations also, is listed by every single track. It's
a labour of love that costed me months of work, but I came to a point
that I couldn't recall where (and if) I had a certain cut. At the
moment, they're 230 lp's/cd's by single artist or group, 125 singles
and 297 lp/cd compilations, for a total of 7144 tracks.
AND RISING!
If you're interested in exchanging tapes, write me off list and I
will send you my file, so that you can choose what you like.

It's basically the same people from "Quintetto X", an italian group
who put out their beautiful "Novo esquema da bossa" cd. The
singer is the same, and she has a truly amazing voice. If you love
bossa, they're both definetely a must have. I don't find much
similarility to Fantastic Plastic Machine; to compare with something
japanese, they sound like Gonzales Suzuki's "Soul Bossa Trio" outfit.
BTW, The Soul Bossa Trio albums are ABSOLUTE KILLER bossa groove to
me.

There is a signed copy of George Cates' Polynesian Percussion (for $5), as well
as lots of other good LPs at DB Cooper's record store in Burbank. They have a
nice bin with all the exotica stuff in one place! The clerk even directed me to
some Les Baxter and Arthur Lyman stashed in the (relatively small) New Arrivals
area.

Prices seem very reasonable.

It's up to the bootleggers on this one. Ashley & I tried to get (tracks
from) this out a number of years ago, but Warners has seemingly lost the
original contract on it, which means they cannot legally re-release it.

If I found it once, I could probably find it again.  The midwest is a
haven for vintage vinyls.  I'll rifle through the bins a little harder
next time, and If I see it,
you'll be the first to know.

They're not as good as the best of Command, put it that way.  There are
mediocre Enoch records and I'm not a big fan of Hyman's piano records so
I'd rate Urbie's records around there, in the middle somewhere.  I have one
or two Urbie's and there's a cut or two on each that stands out but it's
really only the completist in me that holds onto these records.

Subject: (exotica) Ananda Shankar CD

A broken escalator kept me on the first floor of Virgin Megastore today,
and while browsing the import section a german CD(9362472632)of Ananda
Shankar's 1970 WEA Reprise record (40 minutes long) jumped out and
grabbed me by the neck. The raga rock (remember that marketing
appellation?) that makes up about half the CD's 8 cuts (JJ Flash & Light
My Fire) is great, but its also fun to hear the Moog swooshing behind
the 13 minute classical Indian piece that eventually rocks like Ravi at
Monterey. Paid $17 retail, CD Now has a different release for over $21.

There is one unimpressive vocal. If you want to hear tons of Indian
vocals and watch filmi trailers just go to this link I found on Joe Bob
Briggs' TNT Monstervision site of all places:

 Not Sinead O' Connor, not Joni Mitchell, but Ricky Lee Jones.

 an interview that appeared in a 2-CD promo box issued by Geffen

The VW commercial uses the Orb song "Fluffy White Clouds" which has the Ricky

Sorry to not finish this, but this Orb track is available on the just recently
released Orb best of CD set as well as being on their first album "Adventures
In the Underworld, " on their "UFOrb " live album, and also with a very rare
mix on the now deleted "Aubrey Mixes" album. I guess they liked this track a
lot!

As in ...who the hell is Eli Radish? I picked up this LP on Capitol Records
called "I Didn't Raise My Boy To Be a Soldier "  Covers of tunes written
during various wars (Over There, Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition, etc)
with a solarized black and white photo of a late sixties/ early seventies long
haired band. I figured - great, it's gonna be psychedelic ironic treatments
but instead  they are just bad covers. I figure there must have been an insert
with some info, but it's gone now. Anybody know the story ?

Subject: (exotica) LP Cover Scan.

Hi all

Well I've finally managed to scan a whole LP cover on my A4 scanner and
piece the various bits together with photoshop and for you entertainment
pleasure heres probably the "best" exotic LP cover released in New
Zealand.

http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~pinwhiz/posa.jpg

Peter Posa and His Golden Guitar :
The White Rabbit and other tunes for playboys. (1963/64)

Peter Posa had a huge hit here with his cover of "The White Rabbit" and
this is actually quite a common LP to find here.
(he also had his own TV show here for a while and toured with Marty
Robbins & Helen Shapiro)

"The White Rabbit" is easily his best LP - the other two I've found
"Flying High" and the wonderfully named "Tiki Tunes" are fairly bland.
Its mainly covers done in "venturers-ish" reverby guitar style.

Cheers

Mike
Auckland, New Zealand

I have bought it at a record convention from the dutch seller Jan
Van Dorsten. The stall was of his shop "Record Palace",
Wateringschans 33 (opposite to ex-church now-live club "Paradiso", if
you're familiar to the place), 1017 RV Amsterdam. Tel.: [phone]
(must add international code for Holland). It sure is made in Holland
and it's a boot. Well worth having, in my opinion, if you agree
buying bootlegs (I do). Beautiful cover: red with four
squashed beatle-faced & dressed beetles. Complete title is:

"You Think You've Heard It All?! Well, Hell No!! I HATE THE
BEATLES, volume 1 - 19 very good reasons from all over
the world to kill yourself if you still love these insects"

Trackilisting:
 1 - Exterminators: Beetle-bomb (USA 1965)
 2 - Bijele Strijele: Voli me (Yugoslavia 1964)
 3 - Die Beat Oma: Ich bin die beat oma (Germany 1965)
 4 - Simo Je Spede: Keltainen jaansarkija (Finland 1966)
 5 - Los Yaki: Cumpleanos (Mexico 1968)
 6 - Copperplated Integrated Circuit: Revolution (USA 1969)
 7 - Hans Uwe Schneider und die Beatelchen: Baby Beatle Song
      (Germany 1964)
 8 - Grupo 15: Un novelista (Spain 1965)
 9 - Lord Sitar: I Am The Walrus (UK 1967)
10 - The Ladmo Trio: Michelle (USA 1965)
11 - Mighty Fire Steelband: A Hard Day's Night (Jamaica 1968)
12 - Los Jovenes: Ella te quiere (Spain 1964)
13 - Mae West & The Somebody's Children: Day Tripper (USA 1966)
14 - Shaggs: The Night Before (USA 1967)
15 - Alan Lorber Orchestra: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (USA 1968)
16 - Sweet Feeling: The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill
       (Belgium 1969)
17 - Emi Bonilla y su Cuadro Flamenco: Era te quiere (Spain 1964)
18 - The D-Drifters Five: I Feel Fine (Canada-Ukraine 1966)
19 - London Philarmonic Orchestra: A Hard Day's Night (UK 1970)

The record comes complete with liner notes and a boffo insert.
Red picture disc.
Some are covers, some are just beatle-inspired.
All makes it a TRUE BLAST, imho.
My highlight: the Ladmo Trio, they can't finish the song, they laugh
to death all through it.
If you can't find it, I will be happy to make a tape to anyone
interested.

It is always sad to have to send you a message like this.
Today, there is great mourning in the entertainment world. William
Thorntonson, the man who wrote the beloved, and often recorded song "The Hokey
Pokey", died today.
Family and friends mourning Thorntonson's death were horrified during the
funeral when the morticians were unable to keep him in his casket. They put
his left leg in and,.......well,... you know the rest.

That reminds me -- I picked up "Bombay the Hard Way"
last weekend, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
There are even a few cuts that sound like the Love
Unlimited Orchestra goes to India.

I spent $105 at Dustygroove last weekend.  I have
trouble tearing myself away from them.  I can't decide
if their proximity is a blessing or a curse -- I've
never seen so many cool records in one place in my
life!

Oh, cool!  *Please* keep us posted so that I can go out and buy this.

If only they would reissue _Balsara and his Singing Sitars_.  I love
Balsara's  "I Want to Hold Your Hand" -- better than the Beatles!

Subject: (exotica) Odell Brown and the Organ-izers

One of the great treats of an avid record collector is the finding
something completely unexpected and wonderful.  I'm always on the lookout
for covers of space age pop standards like "Caravan," "The Third Man Theme"
(found an Aerobicize version just this week), and "Quiet Village."  I also
have a running list of about 500 other songs, styles, and artists I'm on
the lookout for.

So I was delighted to stumble across Odell Brown and the Organ-izers'
album, "Mellow Yellow," Cadet LPS 788.  Odell and his group are a classic
grits-and-cornbread funky soul jazz organ/sax/rhythm quartet from the late
60s, just the kind of group that the James Taylor Quartet takes its
inspiration from.  Who cares what tunes they played--this was going to be a
good album.

But to flip it over and find--my God!--"Quiet Village."  I thought I'd seen
about the last unusual cover of this, but this blew me away.  And it's
everything you could ask for:  jungle cries, rippling Hammond organ,
building up to a boiling climax.  I felt like smoking a cigarette
afterwards.  11 stars.  Thank you, Goodwill!!

Brad

which he won an Academy Award and two Grammys.
    He received two Academy Awards nominations -- best score and best song --
for the 1963 film ``It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,'' and also received
nominations for 1959's ``On the Beach'' and the 1969 movie ``The Secret of
Santa Vittoria.''
    Born in Vienna, Gold was raised in a musical family. He wrote a full-length
opera when was 13, Mrs. Carr said.

                          *James D. Johnson
    MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) -- Artist and illustrator James D. Johnson, who did
album covers for Frank Sinatra and promotion posters for the movie ``Ben
Hur,'' died Monday of prostate cancer. He was 78.
    Johnson, who painted under the name Jim Jonson, was a junior tennis
champion who went to California for a tournament and fell in love with the
state. After serving in the Army during World War II, he took a set design
job with 20th Century Fox.
    Over the years, his personal artwork sold in galleries and museums
nationwide while he supported himself with commercial work for record
companies, Hollywood studios and magazines.
    Johnson later moved to New York, where he became known for sports paintings
that he sold to Sports Illustrated, private collectors and corporations.
    He moved to Marietta in 1986 and held a national ranking with the U.S.
Tennis Association well into his 70s.

                            *Ray Russell
    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Ray Russell, a prolific horror and fantasy writer and a
former executive editor of Playboy magazine, died Monday from complications
from a stroke. He was 74.
    In addition to seven novels, Russell wrote dozens of stories that appeared
in 100 various anthologies. His works were translated into several languages.
    His 1960 novella, ``Sardonicus,'' was praised by writer Stephen King as
``perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written.'' The tale,
about a man who suffers hideous consequences when he digs up his father's
grave to retrieve a winning lottery ticket, was made into the 1961 film
``Mr. Sardonicus.''
    He joined Playboy in 1954, serving as an associate editor. He was executive
editor from 1955-1960. He remained a contributing editor to Playboy into the
early 1970s.
    His last published novel was 1992's ``Absolute Power.''
    Illness later forced him into retirement.
    Russell held the 1991 World Fantasy Award for life achievement and the 1993
Bram Stoker Award for life achievement from the Horror Writers Association.

                        *Walter Decker Scott
    CARMEL, Calif. (AP) -- Walter Decker Scott, a former NBC chairman who led
the network when it committed itself to color programming in the mid-1960s,
died March 12 of complications from pneumonia. He was 84.
    Scott joined the network as a salesman in 1937 and was named chairman and
chief executive in 1966. He was also elected a director of RCA, which was
bought by General Electric in 1985.
    Scott was credited with persuading the network to risk production cost
increases by adopting a schedule of color programming in 1965. He based his
idea in part on information showing that families with color sets watched
television more than families with black-and-white sets.
    NBC advertised itself as being ``The Full Color Network'' and added its
peacock logo.

Trumpeter Al Hirt Ailing After Stroke
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Jazz trumpeter Al Hirt is in failing health in a New
Orleans hospital after suffering a stroke, friends said Thursday.
     The 76-year old musician was listed in serious condition at East
Jefferson General Hospital in suburban Metairie, La., a hospital spokeswoman
said.
     Clarinetist Pete Fountain told Reuters the prognosis was not good for
Hirt, who won a 1963 Grammy for the pop hit ``Java'' but was best known for
his swinging Dixieland jazz.
     ``I spoke to his wife just yesterday and he's not doing too well. I
told her 'maybe he'll bounce back,' but she said the doctors said no,'' he
said of his long-time friend.
