I have found these for next to nothing at thrifts, fleas, etc.

Some are really stupid looking (and therefore are the ones I like the most).

I am looking at one now that is 14 inches, 2/3 of which is the tiki's
headdress, and there was an obvious attempt to make the back look like it was
carved out of stone.  As Otto says, it is made of resin (which is a generous
word for plastic).

I found this fellow at a church thrift store in Columbia, South Carolina  --
which was the first stop on a thrift/antiqueing trip I took with my brother.

There was a $ 1.00 price tag on it and I offered the guy at the checkout 50
cents.  My brother looked at the clerk and said,  "Can you believe this guy?
He's trying to cheat Jesus out of 50 cents."  I looked at my brother, whom
the clerk did not realize we were related, and said,  "I don't think Jesus
needs the money."  The clerk was pissed but took my buck anyway.

And so for a dollar I have this tacky tiki idol, made of plastic (or genuine
fake lava) and this little story that I related to you.

The Caucasian Sensation got his for free.  At least Jesus is not pissed of at
him.

Then again, what about a church thrift store that is selling tiki idols?
They might as well have a goat made of gold.

 By then 45s had become more popular than 78s for singles...but, yet, some
 of the established record companies were still putting out limited 78s for
 those who hadn't yet converted.  There were still plenty of 78 only juke
 boxes around, for instance.  As a consequence, many 78s from this era may
 be out there, although VERY rare and often quite valuable. >>

Well, I appreciate all the kind post regarding my topic.

So now the cattle call.

If anyone has a Quiet Village on 78 that they want to sell me please let me
know.  I suspect some of your English posters/lurkers will be the most likely
persons to find this.

Subject: (exotica) Cassettes to CD's

Michele axed me to forward this:

Could you ask on the list if anyone is aware of anyone who will transfer
music from either vinyl or cassette tape to CD?  I don't know if it is
illegal or not to do that.  I know in terms of videos I wanted to have
something copied and the store wanted to know that it wasn't a commercial
tape!  but in terms of music, I would really like to get 3 things put on CDs
- - 2 1920s tapes that I think are outstanding and that one punk record -
"Streets".  None of these items probably have a snowball's chance in hell of
getting commercially released onto CD.

Hey, I was about to write that too.

Even if you find him a talentless and limp trumpet player (I don't), Chet
Baker has a version on the "Let's Get Lost" soundtrack that's damn near
close to heartbreaking. He plays for about 2-3 minutes, and just as you
begin to think that it's a non-vocal track, his voice suddenly comes in. His
voice, already whispery (and pallid to some) to begin with, is made even
more frail and quavering by age and his addictions. A splendid version.

Later,
Ben

Today I would choose:
Chainos "Pygmie song" b-side "Ubangi Rock" (or the other way around.)

In high pitched voices:
"Say brother pygmie, do you dig this new rock n roll?
 NAH! I'm gonna rock it out of town!
Chickie chickie boom boom Chickie chickie boom boom"

Not exact quoted, but it starts something like that. Funny one!

Gibbs is a very good vibes player.  Judging by the records of his that I
own, his material ranges from straight-ahead jazz to more mellow easy
listening.
It wouldn't surprise me if he had a new sound or even a "NOW sound" record
or two out there but I haven't seen it.  I love vibes so I have his records
but I don't go out of my way to get them.

It's funny you should mention this tune.  I had the unpleasant experience
of hearing Sting "sing" this on TV once.  Maybe on SNL?  I've often thought
about it since, especially when hearing the definitive version - in my
opinion - by Johnny Hartman.
I do despise Sting's music but I would have agreed to ignore him if he
hadn't taken on songs he has no business croaking.  Sadly he now shares
space in my liver (is that where bile is produced?) with Celine Dion and
Steven Spielberg.

BTW, speaking of songs people shouldn't sing, I am sad to say that I found
this Johnny Hartman record from the early seventies where he covers songs
like "By the time I get to Phoenix" and "Betcha by Golly Wow".
It's not that he murders them exactly.  And there are a few moments where
you're reminded how great he is.  But overall the record still makes me sad.
I'll never understand how he managed to languish in the shadows.

I'm not sure anyone mentioned Spanky.  I love Brooklyn Bridge and other
"Johnny Maestro" things too but I'm not sure he fits my definition of this
stuff.  The Association is pretty well at the center of it.  And the only
reason Bread might be left off a compilation is because it's too familiar.

I'm pretty sure someone made a cassette of these things but I didn't get
one.  (Hint, hint.)

I will be making my CDR of this kind of stuff as well as other CDR's later
in the year and if that happens, I'll let you know.  I'm thinking of
leading it off with Lobo's version of "I'm only sleeping" or I might be
more patriotic and start off with the hard/soft rockin sounds of The Paupers.

_____________________________________________
ATA TAK (GERMANY):

WILP, CHARLES: Charles Wilp Fotografiert Bunny CD (ATA WR74).
"No other German has embodied the breakaway from the 50s into
modern times so well as Charles Wilp. A Man Ray student, turned
artonaut, Dokumenta 5 artist, photographer, an advertising
conceptualist, conductor and a space age media artist. Whether
spectacularly blowing up his racing car, building an UFO bungalow
on the roof of his D=FCsseldorf home, or overcoming gravity in a NASA
centrifuge simulator, the LP written in the Sun Year 1965, titled
Charles Wilp fotografiert Bunny -- a light and floating melange -- has
at Ata Tak's specific wish, been re-released as a CD. A world first in
psychedelic TV advertising in 1969 -- 'Africola' showing three lightly
clad women dancing behind a water covered screen (Amanda Lear's,
Marsha Hunt's and Donna Summer's first TV appearance) -- Bunny
was never available in the shops, but was produced together for 16
organizations which had contracted Wilp to create their company
designs. Over 500,00 free record copies were distributed to
employees and clients in the same companies. What is surprising
about Bunny-Musik is the elegant stylistic assuredness and relaxed
work out which is really unusual for a German orchestra. Peter
Thomas made some close observations of these recordings, noting
influences from A.C. Jobim, Frank Sinatra and Claus Ogermann.
This possibly had to do with the hottest summer of the century in 1965,
when this piece was composed. More probable is that Charles Wilp
developed a feeling for music and space through his mother, who
accompanied Richard Tauber through the world as a silent film pianist,
as well as through encounters with the so called 'rocket men' he knew,
including Karl Oberth, Paul Nebel, Werner von Braun, Fritz von Opel
and Paul Valier. One thing however is certain - this record is too good
remain unreleased ......... That opinion is shared by Daniel Miller,
The Gentle People, Tipsy, Stereo Total, Thomas Fehlmann, A Certain
Frank, Andreas Dorau, Schlammpeitziger, Stockhausen & Walkman
and many others  who have expressed willingness to make a remix
for Charles Wilp. This will shortly be released under the name
Michaelangelo in Space, a name shared by the space art module to
be designed and built by Wilp as the first Art-in-Space Gallery as
 well the first Space Art Academy. This is to be docked onto the
newly developed international ISS space station - which will of
course include the CD onboard!  The first CD in space!" $15.00

nice full color gatefold repro of this very obscure electronics album

It's rumored that Jean-Jacques Perrey credits this album as one of

Yes, I think I have that LP.  Isn't that the one with the rocket launch on
the cover?

I know some of his big band stuff has been reissued on CD.  Terry Gibbs got
the best talent around for his band and he must have really inspired them,
because imho they were the best of their time (the 1960's).  They were the
swingingist cats around!  When I regularly did a show on public radio, I
frequently used cuts from his big band CD to open up the show because, yes,
he added that extra energy and bounce to stuff that had been done before.

I have that Gould album.  Nice cover.
But the music is... dull, really.

Subject: (exotica) selling out! yikes...

Hello, everyone,

I have about 60 days to completely empty my storage space/studio. It
contains 10s of thousands of records, thousands of books, a real lot of
miscellaneous stuff, and some other miscellany. The space is just under
1,000 square feet, ceilings only 6 feet high, and completely filled with
steel shelving and boxes full of stuff, right up to the door. This
circumstance also requires me to relinquish a substantial amount of
"home" stuff also (records, books, furniture).

I will be selling, giving away, throwing away, and trading (very little
of that!). I will try to keep approximately 2 to 3% of the total, which
is, as you collectors know, very little. That means i will sell a lot of
interesting and some valuable material.

Visitors/potential recipients can contact me at 718 488-7207 or email
me. My first preference will be to move large quantities of decent and
good and very good material at very low prices to single
individuals/dealers, in order to clear as much material as possible
ASAP. Future messages will contain lists of some items for sale.

I will be putting some of this on ebay, but obviously in the alloted
time and given the bulk and weight of much of this material (the
minerals, for example), ebay will help me with paper ephemera and a
small number of objects.

I will begin weaving my plain white cotton undergarments soon, and will
change my name to Citizen Gandhi.

Just kidding.

Thanks!

Subject: (exotica) Two More Caucasians

I didn't seem to spark any interested when I posted questions a week or so
ago about The Sensuous/Slimy Sleepwalking Guitars of Dale & Dan, so I thought
I'd try two different white guys.

The past couple of days I've been listening to Derek Smith and Ray Cohen's
album Interplay-The Keyboard Sounds of Today!, arranged and conducted by
Marty Gold (1966 RCA Vic LSP-3530).

The album is a little easy, it's a little groovy, and it's a little funky.
It would be a fairly standard issue except that Derek Smith plays the
harpsichord, which adds something rather cool to the whole production.
Anyone want to share a word or two about Mr. Derek & Mr. Ray?  Did they do
any later works with piano and harpsichord, maybe piano and something from
the organ family.  How about, piano and some big weird chromatic percussive
instrument?  Well, did they huhhhhh???

Subject: (exotica) 45's weekend

Found some interesting 45's this weekend in a charity shop,  I think
some bizarre old rocker was turfing out his collection,  some
interesting stuff.
Duane Eddy 'Peter Gunn'  -- should have had it for years,  but I'm too
mean to buy it full price.  Who plays the Saxophone on these things? I
love it its just so over the top.

Anthony Newley -- I can't remember the title but the B-side has a great
song about how his 'baby' spends the week ironing his socks, brushing
his new suede jacket etc so that on Saturday night he looks great,  set
to a piano boogie not a million miles from 'Down the Road A Piece'.  Of
its era,  shall we say.

Tom Springfield Combo  'Brazilian Shake'/'Brazilian Blues' -- Absolutely
wonderful,  The A side is a version of Bighorillo, with frenzied
Portuguese singing (I assume from Tom),  with a 'Hucklebuck' type of
beat underneath.  The B-side is a cheesie rocking Organ track.  The
whole thing is from 1964.  I can't imagine it was a hit and god knows
how it went down with the Springfields Folky fans.

All for about 50p.  I just love Help the Aged.


Back from a Rocking Weekend (Spent nearly all day Sunday listening to
'Telstar')

Subject: (exotica) Taboo vs. Tabu

Greeting Exotica List Members,

I have notice that on the Exotic Trilogy CDs (as well as other places) that
people use two different spellings for the song Taboo (or Tabu as the case
may be).

Does anyone have an idea why the variation???

And why would The Exotic Trilogy change from Taboo on the first volume to
Tabu on the second???

Ever curious,

Tiki Bob

P.S.  I made the attempt to "introduce" Exotica music (specifically Martin
Denny) to a parrothead recently.  I gave him a CD copy of The Japanese
import, The Very Best of Martin Denny.  I will keep the list posted as to the
developments.  T.B.

The guy's name is Jim Horn, and he's still playing.  You can
hear him on some tracks by country singer Vince Gill.  But his
work with Duane Eddy is the definitive bronchial sax playing...

Duane Eddy's rebels also included Larry Knechtel on bass:
he was the guy who (I think) played piano on Bridge over
Troubled Water.

I wonder how long he stayed on the Latin kick.  "Night School" (STILL
looking for someone who has even heard it, let alone finding the danged
record!) was in a similar vein.

     I volunteered to sing the title, being a Thomas Crown fanatic, and the
