Subject: (exotica) Weekend Record Scores

I hit the record stores this weekend and picked up
around 25 records; I managed to score some
cool exotica:

Skip Martin's Scheherajazz - An exotica version
of Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade. (one of my
favorite classical pieces)  A bargain at 3 bucks

A british pressing of Carmen Dragon conducts
Orientale.  More exotica/classical.

Les Baxter The Sacred Idol on the original label.
I've only ever seen one other copy of this, my
father's.  I had to pay through the nose for it ($20)
but I figured I better grab it while I had the chance.

Afro-Desia by Martin Denny.  An original
green Liberty, too bad it's mono.  But I
couldn't pass it up for $5.

Hypnotique by Martin Denny, an original
black Liberty Stereo.

A Stereo Action, Crazy Rhythm.  I love
the thick covers with the cutouts on these.

The Best of Xavier Cugat.  Haven't heard any
of his stuff before but I couldn't resist the cover.

"telstar" <[e-mail]> asked:

Has anyone heard the reissue of "The Wicker Man" soundtrack? Worth buying?

******************

    I have a copy of the CD issued by Trunk Records (PO Box 56,
Aldershot, Hmpshire, GUII 3YN, UK). The liner notes claim that it's a
legitimate, licensed reissue, and it could be for all I know, but it sounds
like a bootleg.

    The disc was mastered from a copy of the film (or video) so all
incidental sound effects are there right along with the music. Also the
song "Gently Johnny" is missing, as this was taken from the shorter version
of the film that was in circulation.

    Had I known all of this and had a chance to hear it first, I
probably wouldn't have bought it.

The Japanese CD has alternate versions of 3 tracks.  Perhaps that's
what you're thinking of?

While I consider myself pretty anti-car, I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't
admit that my second girlfriend is a 1967 Volvo S122 that will not die!
Cost $800 bucks.   And since I CAN'T STAND commercial radio, I leave the ol'
Bendix shut off.  I end up pounding beats on the steering wheel like a
conga.  Dorky, huh?

Fun facts:

**  I park it in the Haight-Ashbury every night and it NEVER gets
vandalized.

**  That's a real Swedish tractor engine in there.

**  "Volvo" is Latin for "I go."

**  The Guiness Book of World Record for highest mileage car is a 1966 P1800
at 1.6 million miles.  The owner--who drives it every day--attributes it to
regular tuneups.


**  The Saint drove also drove a P1800.

But I wouldn't be caught dead in a new Volvo.  (If only I could post so
passionately about music.)

I think the only version not issued in the States is the one labeled "re-mix"
- -- it's on the UK CD5s.  (Might be on last year's US CD5 too but I think that
one just duplicated the tracks from the old black-red-grey 4th+B'way single.)

The "re-mix" mix starts out with a Wolfman Jack sample/imitation "That's
right, this has gotta be the greatest record of the year!" instead of the
"homeboys out in the Bronx" thing.  The US mixes had more samples slapped onto
'em so the UK version has a lot less of that kitchen-sink feel, which may be
why the originals feel dubbier.  The "Anitina" mixes on those singles
*definitely* qualify as dubby!

For reasons unknown to me my girlfriend (innocently?) seems to gravitate
towards the real collectors' items when borrowing CDs in my absence.  Early
Depeche Mode remix boots, the OWM "Blade Runner" soundtrack . . . :-)

Subject: Subject: (exotica) The Wicker Man

Has anyone heard the reissue of "The Wicker Man" soundtrack? Worth
buying?

Someone bought this for me for my birthday otherwise I wouldn't have
bothered.  Its Scottish Folky songs.  Apparantly it's from the 'one day'
version of the film so one of the songs is missing.  But it does have
the Landlords Daughter on it.  A fairly ribald song of the pleasures of
said woman (played by Britt Ekland,  the well known er actress).
Something about the fun to be had between her left toe and her right
toe,  to the accompaniment of accordion and violin,  but its only a
minute and a half long.  Lots of dialogue snatches.  Apart from the one
song I never play it.

  Its also on blood red vinyl,  if thats your bag.

Subject: Re: (exotica) The Wicker Man

While I haven't bought The Wicker Man (but will one day), it is a legitimate
release with much publicity when it was released in the UK last year.

If you don't know the film and love the film, I can't imagine it would be of
huge interest to anyone as it is mainly folksy sort of stuff, although the
track where "Britt" is beating on the walls has a certain appeal (!!!), but
I think it really is for fans of the film.

As an American who is now also British living in Scotland, I was very
surprised when I saw the film. Apparently only fairly hardcore cult film
watchers in the States have really seen this one, although it is fairly
well-known in the UK. It was on Channel 4 about 3 years ago on one Friday
night when I was sitting in. I'd vaguely thought I'd heard somewhere that it
was good so I gave it a go. And I was thoroughly entertained. And couldn't
BELIEVE I had never really heard much about it (I'm not a major film buff,
but I'm fairly sussed).

Go see it. You can rent it - even in the States. Then decide on the soundtrack.

It's not a reissue; that's the first release it ever had. It is
legitimate. It was mastered from the film because that's the only
place the music survives.

I've hardly listened to it at all. I think The Wicker Man music works
a lot better in the context of the film -- it doesn't seem strong
enough when it stands alone.

And I still haven't seen the extended version of the film, dammit!

  Lazlo,

What does OWM mean?

Should I go back and spin the old LP with the symphonic version? I may have
a different opinion now that the original soundtrack is out. When the movie
came out I bought the LP and was SO disappointed that it was not the same
synthesizer music that was in the movie that I could not be objective about
it.

Maybe the new records are mastered from used records. (1/2 :-)

few years back.  (The second of the two has almost exactly the same material as
the first and may have been recently repressed 'cause it's all over eBay
lately.  Search on "Blade Runner CD".)

> Should I go back and spin the old LP with the symphonic version?

I've actually been considering this myself -- I see it in the used bins from
time to time and might be more open-minded about it now than I was back in the
day.

Thanks to all for the responses to my "Wicker Man" inquiry. The list never
ceases to amaze me!

One thing that I found curious was that although the opinions regarding the
musical quality of this soundtrack was less than positive...everyone seems
to own a copy!

Subject: (exotica) "Real World" exotica?

Anyone happen to check out the Tuesday 6/22/99 episode of MTV Real World
(Hawaii)?? There was an exotica track played when Teck and Kya were in the hot
tub.

Sounded like good, classic Denny-style exotica. But, of course, it was totally
unfamiliar to me. It had a bit of a modern sound, and my asssumption is that MTV
isn't going to go back to the 50s for background music.

Anyone have any idea who this was?  (Combustible Edison???)

My excuse for owning a copy is that I bought some records from Jonathan,
the guy who put the soundtrack out. He is the Trunk: Super Sounds of
Bosworth compiler and he is also something to do with the Cinephile Roy
Budd reissues. Anyway, he told me that he was coordinating the Wicker Man
reissue and that it was going to be issued on LP in very limited quantities
(around 750), if I wanted a copy, I had to get in there straight away. I
asked him if it was any good and of course, he said yes, so I bought a
copy.
Am I a mug or what?

PS. If anybody would like to buy or swap a copy of the WM soundtrack on LP,
please let me know.

>>>Ok...I have to agree with you, especially on the underappreciated part!
If it was "The Exotica List on the Real World," it would be real fer
sure...But Iive in Boston, where at Urban Outrage, clue-less college
students can buy $6 tiki mugs and get all "cocktail" on us, while listening
to Ricky Martin for their most exotic music.  That sucks, it's just plain
"poser" as we used to say back in the punk days.  And I'll backtrack: I am
happy for Com Ed getting a royalty check from MTV...and if MTV wanted to
use Astroslut music, we'd gladly take that check, too!

Subject: (exotica) how stretchable is a grading system?

taken from a sale list on rec.music.marketplace.vinyl:
this guy is really a creative writer! he invents 5 different variations on
the concept of "mint":


Grading scale below is for Cover/Vinyl, from best to worst:

SEALED: still in shrink wrap/unopened
MINT: opened but no marks
MINT-: one or two small marks, but otherwise perfect
NM+: 3 to 4 marks but otherwise perfect
NM: some small scuffs/marks, perhaps a tick or two or slight surface
scratch in 1 or 2 spots
NM-: a few more scuffs/scratches than NM
VG++: still more scuffs/scratches/noise
VG+: quite a few visual imperfections but play is basically fine
except for some noise/ticks

etc...

Ron has set up live streams of Fantastica (and other exotica shows!) at
Shoutcast AND at Live 365 (you'll have to find the feelthymonkey stream
yourself, I'm afraid - Ron is still experimenting with the streaming MP3
voodoo, so things might change, links might not work temorarely, etc.,

"MacAMP antenna" that lets you "record" shoutcast streams to a disk file to
listen to later.

The linear notes mentions that the blonde bomshell was his wife at the
moment, he was married more than a few times. The last one was Charo, I
think.

Our completist friend Brad (thinks Brad!) mentions on
http://home.earthlink.net/~spaceagepop/cugat.htm

"Cugat was a notorious womanizer. He had four wives and always put
attractive women in his groups. He gave Rita Hayworth one of her first jobs,
and later appeared with her in the film "You Were Never Lovelier."His
Mercury recordings of the 1950s often featured his then-wife (#3), blonde
bombshell and singer Abbe Lane. In the mid-1960s, he took another blonde
(with the aid of chemistry) under his tutelage, and the result this time was
Charo--who appeared in skin-tight gold lame pants and stiletto heels, billed
as a folk singer. "

It's a great record. Enjoy!

Um, someone told me that 'cos the Wicker Man LP was so limited in
number, it became an instant collectable, shooting up near
instantaneously to a three figure price tag. I don't know if it shot
instantly right back down again or not. This is/was for the original
LP: I suspect the red vinyl one is not legitimate... anyone know for
sure?

Mebbe not such a mug.
