>just want to know if 101 stings did any Baxter lp's?

Not quite sure what you mean by this
IF you mean did they actually cover a Les lp I'd say No
But they did work with Les to create lps
(there's also "Million Seller Hits" I don't know if there are others but I'm
sure Ashley will tell us)
the most famous of course is
Que Mango
available on CD from Scamp

I also like
Brasil Now with chorus and orchestra
on Crescendo which is a lot like Que Mango with a little less emphasis on the
strings

>also whats the best baxter lp?
My fave of course is Ritual of the Savage
Sacred Idol also has its moments

but probably the wilder stuff that would excite new Les listeners are
Skins
Wild Guitars

these also have great covers

>i like Tambo

that's Tamboo
Tambo is a Prez Prado lp

Unfortunately I haven't spoken with him for a couple of weeks, but health
wise he hasn't been too bad, pretty much about the same. Sadly, his brother
Sergio passed away this spring after a long illness. He was 78. Juan was
very cloe to Sergio, as they worked together for much of their lives
(Sergio was an engineer at XEW/Televisa in Mexico City).

Juan is still working on a bunch of new arrangements, including a couple of
new original compositions. We're hoping to have them ready by the time Fox
finally gets the film project rolling.

Subject: (exotica) eBay offers up a gem!

Well, kids,  once again I'm quietly reminded of the (sometimes) miraculous
wonder of a worldwide auction at your fingertips 24 hours a day.  Just
picked up on eBay, for 5 thin bucks, a hardcover autobiography of Fred
Lowery, "Whistling in the Dark; The Story of Fred Lowery the Blind Whistler"
from 1983.  And to my shock and surprise, it's signed by Lowery in telltale
blind scrawl on the frontispiece.  Ahhhh, my summer is looking better
already.

Cheers,

Keith

Thanks for the info.  I hope this is good news for me.  I just sent Nitty
Gritty quite a bit of money for one of their automatic record cleaning
machines.  I hope that it is as good as I have always heard.  SInk washing is
such a pain, and frankly, I really expect the Nitty Gritty to do a much
better job.

Does Protected have a web site?  You only listed an email address in your
post.  Also, does anyone know where one can get bulk quantities of record
mailer boxes. They place I get them from is not such a good deal.  I buy over
100 at the time and they still cost me 80 cents each, plus postage if I don't
want to wait till hell freezes over to get them.

Best wishes to all,
Larry

>Hi kats!

>did any Baxter lp's?

There's the great 'Que Mango' -- easy to come by on CD these days thanks to
Scamp.  I also have a 101 Strings album called 'The Exciting Sounds of Les
Baxter' which is not quite as good as Que Mango but is also very good.  I
also have an LP with jacket all in Spanish which features Les Baxter
conducting 101 Strings' interpretations of tunes by Mocedades (whoever that
is), but I wouldn't recommend this one.

>also whats the best baxter
>lp? i like Tambo

Hard to say which of his many great efforts is best, but my personal favorite
has to be his 'Dunwich Horror' soundtrack

There are 2 more:  "Movie Themes", which is from 1975 (it has themes from
'Godfather 2', 'Lenny', 'Airport 75', 'Earthquake' etc plus a few original
tunes; and "Million Selling Hits " from 1970, which has almost all Baxter
originals that, of course, weren't million selling hits, plus one McKuen
tune, "Jean", that probably was.

Subject: (exotica) SOMEBODY STOP ME!

Now, don't get me wrong, I can get down and dirty in the thrifts with the
best of 'em, but I'm quickly becoming ADDICTED TO INTERNET SHOPPING. Are any
of you folks aware of the various e-vendor coupon sites on the web such as
http://i.am/deardeer , http://www.dvdtalk.com , or
http://www.bargainflix.com ? I just discovered these sites about a month
ago, and I've since gone HOG WILD loading up on various exotica related
goodies. All the groovy italian comp's, the new Seks Bomba, the just
released Barbarella dvd, the Samuel J. Hoffman three-fer from Basta,
Danger:Diabolik vhs, to name a few - if I can buy it on sale and with a
coupon link I just can't help myself! To make matters worse, cdnow is
offering 30% off all imports 'till June 30th, and by using various $10 and
$20 coupons I've managed to get all four of the Get Easy comp's, the Mondo
Morricone, MPS Snowflakes, the Karminsky comp's, and Moonflowers and
Miniskirts for ridiculously low prices. I've had a hard time finding these
imports even in a major metropolis such as the S.F. Bay Area, and I'm sorry
for rambling, but getting this kind of stuff delivered to my door at bottom
dollar prices has made me giddy. I realize these internet vendors have deep
pockets, but this sort of foolishness can't last forever - so I say get 'em
while you can!

I have it as "Voces In Ritmo" and yes it is quite bad.
I find no pleasure in these either:

Les Baxter's Balladeers (this one's loveable for its
sappiness and well-buffed/shorn pink faces on the
cover - folksters for the audience for whom Peter Paul
and Mary were too hardcore)

Has someone mentioned this before while i was in my

Forever Lounge: A Laid-Back Price
Guide to The Languid Sounds of Lounge Music
by John Wooley, Thomas Conner, Mark Brown, 1999, $24.

I picked it up over the weekend - it seems to cover
quite a few items (I was surprised to see Byron
Parker's Percussion Ensemble and Richard Marino
Orchestra, for example). It has quite a few photos,
liner notes, interviews, etc.

                           *Del Whitcomb
    BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) -- Del Whitcomb, who played guitar along side of Duke
Ellington and Lawrence Welk, died Wednesday. He was 76
    Whitcomb also performed with such national musical acts as Ozzie Nelson,
the McGuire Sisters and Pat Boone.
    His professional career started when he was 16, when he joined the Omaha
Musician's Association. He played with area bands in the 1930s.
    Whitcomb opened a music store in Beatrice in 1958 and ran it until the
early 1970s.

    BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- When Jim Nabors underwent a liver transplant five
years ago, he was surprised it drew so much attention.
    ``I got about 200,000 to 300,000 letters and prayers,'' said Nabors,
television's Gomer Pyle. ``The reality had never set in before that so many
people cared what happened to me.''
    In part, that realization propelled ``When He Spoke,'' Nabors' new two-CD
compilation of Christian songs. It's the first recording by the actor in 20
years.
    Nabors, 69, said the CDs feature a mix of old gospel songs and contemporary
Christian numbers, including a ``Lion King version'' of The Lord's Prayer.
    ``It's a real knockout,'' said Nabors, 69.
    Nabors, best known for his portrayal of the simpleton soldier from 1964 to
1969 on ``Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.,'' formed his own record company for the
effort. Another motivation: the success of friend Andy Griffith, whose own
gospel collection sold about 2.5 million copies a few years ago.

I think it has been mentioned before but I saw it for the first time the
other day myself.  I thought it was surprisingly complete in terms of
covering the artists often ignored in other books and in terms of
apparently complete discographies.
I counted over 50 Three Suns records.  I don't know if that is complete but
it's enough for me.
From what I could tell, the price guide was a bit one-dimensional.  The
vast vast majority I skimmed were identified as worth three to five dollars
with the occasional leap to twenty.  Most of the Three Suns records -
including I believe "Movin n Groovin" - were three to five except "Fever n
Smoke" which was twentyish.
I know that the price of a record is a highly fluid, flexible, subjective
thing and I guess that a lot of these records aren't in "high demand" by
anyone except us but I've been slumming in a used record store for the past
few weeks and if we get a cool lounge record in - and in it's in good shape
- - it goes out at more like ten to twelve bucks.  Of course, that's Canadian.
But we differentiate between a cool, bouncy, "Command-y", hyper stereo,
heavily arranged record and your average Glenn Miller-like big band record.
  We are also influenced by especially cool covers.  And so are the buyers.
 You put on a Command record in the store and someone wants to buy it right
away.  Or you show them some ultra-cheesy cover and same thing.
I don't think the authors made that much of an attempt to differentiate
between records. It looks like if they didn't know about it, they'd just
say "5 - 3 " as if most lounge records were basically worth the same amount.

a web page.  http://www.fourpiecesuit.com/

Kevin leeeeee, <[e-mail]>  I know you were looking for info on
"exotica-friendly" groups for your web page.

BTW, saw FPS yesterday outdoors at the Boston Globe jazz fest. There was
this guy wearing an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt dancing up a storm in the 90+
degree heat! Considering all the talk of shirts on the list I *got* to say
hi to this guy, maybe he's on the list!   We get talking and he's a poet!
He's going to contact me and wants to come on my show. He will recite poetry
live on the air a al beatnik/Ken Nordine...  all I have to do lay down some
music tracks and enjoy.

Ahhhhh! but what music to pick!?!? I want it to be perfect.

Subject: Re: (exotica) forever lounge

I'm moving on July lst (it's not just my choice; in Montreal, it's
the law), and have had to grapple with the age-old philosophical
question:  what to do with my records.  My 3000 or so rock albums
sit there, year after year, virtually unlistened-to and un-added-to,
while the lounge/easy/exotica section grows by 30 or so everytime I
go out to buy milk and make a detour.

I set out a couple of hundred not-very-good 1980s New Wave albums
at a garage sale we held a week or so ago, and moved about 20 of those at
a dollar a pop.  I then discovered that everything rock from U through Z
had somehow gotten
badly warped over the last 3 years, though I don't know how. =20
So out went Wah!, too many of my Ventures albums and all my Velvet
Underground,=20
alas, to the garbage.  They lasted 5 minutes before I heard my neighbour
across the=20
hall dragging them up to his apartment, no doubt chortling with excitement.

In the meantime, I've decided to just move the rest, since there ain't much=
 of
a market for old or not-so-old rock here, and since I'm too close to moving
date to do much else.  I dream of a collection reduced to my dance singles,
my easy/exotica, and my soundtracks, and of making thousands of dollars
on the rest so that I can buy more 1950s movie posters through Ebay, but
that's not likely to happen.

This seems a particularly fabulous time to buy old vinyl in Montreal . . .
a couple
more of  those wonderful March=E9 du Disque  warehouse stores opened in the
last two months, and I got to them before they seemed too picked over.  I
helped
Keir-from-bossanovaville fill in some more holes on his Capitol of the World
wantlist, and got more Quebecois sleaze along the way.  I dream of putting
together=20
a CD compilation to be entitled Mondo Cancon, with the very worst Canadian
music
of the last 30 years.  But Nat should really be the one to do this, and he
can have
my collection of nature songs by young boys from Laval if he wants to.

Of course, like Ma Joad in the Grapes of Wrath, I lovingly peruse each
album before
I pack it, surprised at the things I've been searching for and realize I
already have,
and at how many compilations of European movie themes I've picked up over=
 the
last 15 years.

Will.

    LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., June 28 (UPI) -- One-time child star Bobs Watson has
died of prostate cancer at his home in Laguna Beach. He was 68.
    Watson's Hollywood career included both film and television work, spanning
three decades.
    His first role came at the age of 6, in ``Riding to Fame,'' in 1931. By the
time he was 10, he had appeared in 125 films.
    His most famous role came as the endearing Pee Wee, opposite Mickey Rooney
and Spencer Tracy in ``Boys Town.''
    Watson quit his acting career in 1966 and became a minister with the United
Methodist Church. Over the next three decades, he ministered around Southern
California and in Las Vegas, using his acting experience, jokes and props to
dramatize his scripture reading.
    A public service will be held on Thursday at the First Methodist Church in
Burbank.

    LOS ANGELES, June 28 (UPI) -- Frank Tarloff, a scriptwriter who was
blacklisted by anti-communist zealots in the 1950s, has died in Los Angeles
at the age of 83.
    After Tarloff refused to testify before the House Committee on Un-American
Activities, he was dismissed as a writer for the sitcom called ``I Married
Joan,'' and dropped by his agent.
    Tarloff, who had briefly been in the Communist Party in the 1940s, took the
Fifth Amendment and refused to cooperate with the committee.
    His career was so damaged that he and his family moved to England. For 12
years, he was forced to use phony names to get his work produced.
    In later years, he was able to resume writing under his own name and had a
number of film credits. He shared with Peter Stone an Academy Award in 1965
for the script for ``Father Goose,'' which starred Cary Grant and Leslie Caron.
    Tarloff, the father of ``Face-Time'' author, Erik Tarloff, died of lung
cancer at his home on Friday, but his death was revealed only today.
