RECKLESS NIGHTS AND TURKISH TWILIGHTS
- -- remastered US edition released by Sony Legacy --

    ''RECKLESS NIGHTS is a collection of the music
    Raymond Scott wrote and recorded between 1936 and 1939.
    It is totally inspiring; high energy music with tempos
    that rival any speed garage techno-schmecno dance music.''
                 --Avant Magazine

Sony Legacy has released the remastered edition of the landmark 1992
Raymond Scott CD, RECKLESS NIGHTS AND TURKISH TWILIGHTS.

This 22-track package features the original 78 rpm recordings of the
Raymond Scott Quintette, including the best-known RSQ titles (esp.
those used in WB cartoons) such as "Powerhouse," "The Toy Trumpet,"
"The Penguin," "In an 18th Century Drawing Room," "Twilight in
Turkey," etc. The compilation was produced by Irwin Chusid, with Hal
Willner as Executive Producer.

On the new version, all tracks were 24-bit remastered at Sony Studios,
NYC (i.e., the latest technology was used to extract better sound from
the original 1937-40 metal master discs). Two tracks ("Oil Gusher" and
"At An Arabian House Party") have been replaced by different, newly
discovered -- and more exciting -- performances.

The remastered RNTT was released outside the US on Basta in late 1998.
Liner notes for the Legacy edition have been further revised since the
Basta release.

Legacy's RNTT can be ordered for only $11.49 from Amazon.com. The
easiest way to find it is to click on the Scott website NEWS link
below and then click on the RNTT album cover, which will take you
right to Amazon's new RNTT page:

RAYMOND SCOTT ORCHESTRETTE
in Belgium - December 1999

The seven-man RAYMOND SCOTT ORCHESTRETTE (RSO) has been invited to
perform at the ANIMATED MUSIC FESTIVAL (of cartoon music) in Brussels,
Belgium, on December 3.

The RSO, which performs modernistic arrangements of Scott tunes,
debuted at the Jewish Museum in February 1999, and performed at
Central Park SummerStage last June.

The Brussels program includes, on December 2, a special video
presentation by RS Archives director Irwin Chusid of Raymond Scott and
his music in cartoons and film.

The RSO consists of Wayne Barker (piano, arrangements); Brian Dewan
(electric zither, piano, accordion, electronics); Michael Hashim
(saxes); Will Holshouser (accordion, arrangements); George Rush
(bass); Rob Thomas (violin); and Clem Waldmann (drums). These
musicians (and dozens of others) first performed Raymond's music at
the Bottom Line tribute shows in 1996 and '97.

The RSO recently recorded a 7-tune album demo and is seeking a record
deal. Performance dates in NYC and a possible tour are being explored.

For booking info, contact Irwin Chusid <[e-mail]>

RAYMOND SCOTT CHESTERFIELD ARRANGEMENTS
performed by the Metropole Orchestra
featuring the Beau Hunks Saxtette
released on Basta Records, October 1999

On a 1997 US research expedition, Beau Hunks leader Gert-Jan Blom
discovered a collection of large-scale orchestral arrangements for 17
Scott Quintet titles. These had been commissioned by noted bandleader
Paul Whiteman for his late 1930s Chesterfield radio program. The
catalog included two very different treatments of "Powerhouse," along
with familiar RS tunes like "War Dance for Wooden Indians" and "The
Toy Trumpet." Blom also found scores for an unknown and never-recorded
tune called "Suicide Cliff," and charts for the rarely heard "Tia
Juana" and "Mexican Jumping Bean." These works were performed on the
Chesterfield series from late 1937 to late 1938, but Whiteman recorded
only a few.

Blom has now recorded these works with the Metropole Orchestra, one of
the finest large European jazz ensembles. (The MO has worked with
Brian Eno, among others). The orchestra is accompanied by the virtuoso
Beau Hunks "Saxtette." The Chesterfield arrangements are very unlike
the original RSQ versions -- they are radically re-arranged, almost
CARL STALLING-like in their majesty.

Will Friedwald writes in the liner notes: "The Whiteman Orchestra was,
in some instances, better equipped to carry out Scott's artistic
vision than his Quintette. Where the six-piece group can simulate only
a handful of "wooden Indians," the full band gives you the entire
tribe. The Whitemanites expand "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry
Cannibals," "Twilight In Turkey," and "Egyptian Barn Dance" to Cecil
B. DeMille-like proportions."

RAYMOND SCOTT SHEET MUSIC
FOR SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

In an ongoing series of Raymond Scott titles arranged for full
symphony orchestra, Robert Wendel Music, in association with Music
Sales Corp., now has three releases:

  *  "Powerhouse"
  *  "Dinner Music For A Pack Of Hungry Cannibals"
  *  "The Toy Trumpet"

These arrangements are available from Robert Wendel Music on a
per-performance, rental-only basis. Full details, including
instrumentation and pricing, can be obtained by calling 212-362-9094,
or visiting: www.pipeline.com/~bobwen (audio samples are on the site).
Wendel is a supplier of high quality Pops charts, whose client list
includes the Cincinnati Pops, Boston Pops, and nearly 300 professional
orchestras in the US, Canada, UK, and Europe.

MANHATTAN RESEARCH, INC.
2-CD set of Raymond Scott unreleased electronica

In early 2000, Basta Records will unveil MANHATTAN RESEARCH, INC., a
2-CD edition of Raymond Scott's unreleased electronic recordings. This
collection will feature first-time releases of archival Scott
recordings from the 1950s-60s.
      These works feature such RS inventions as the Electronium,
Clavivox, Circle Machine (early sequencer), Rhythm Modulator,
Bass-Line Generator and more. The album includes collaborative works
with Jim Henson, and a 135-page booklet featuring interviews with
people who knew and worked with Scott (e.g., Mitzi Scott, Robert Moog,
Tom Rhea), along with countless previously unseen photos, lab notes,
and RS scrapbook items.
      A sequel, THE ELECTRONIUM YEARS (late 1960s-70s), is already in
the planning stages.

If I was obsessed with this, I probably would have a decent collection of
such stuff by now.  And then maybe I could put it out for rent, like that
amazing collection of "garage bands on TV" which I saw, the highlight of
which was Question Mark performing "solo" on the Dick Clark show.
Jack Jones - my and Laura's hero - did a few numbers on the recent Jerry
Lewis telethon.
And about a year ago I saw an amazing performance by Ferrante and Teicher -
not just performing with prepared pianos but also explaining them - on a
Canadian variety show from the fifties.  Wish I'd kept that tape, in
retrospect.
There was also a pretty good two hour documentary on A&E recently about the
history of talk shows which gave me the impression there's lots and lots of
"archival material" somewhere.
It's hard to believe somebody somewhere hasn't started to collect this stuff.

To generalize....lots of it is "out there" to be had.  Pick up a copy of Big
Reel Collector Mag at your local newstand, probably perched on a lower
shelf somewhere near Goldmine (same format, publisher), and scan the
classifieds and small ads for catalogs.   Loads of stuff circulates amongst
collectors if you're wont to spend the time pursuing it.  I'm slowly
amassing a collection of every Morey Amsterdam TeeVee appearance, starting
with his hosting the first late night talk show "Broadway Open House" in
1948.   Someone had to, I guess !

Here's one guy with lots of amazing stuff to write to for a catalog;

There is a fairly famous clip of Martin Denny on the Diana Shore show.  The
clip is in black and white and has Diana practicing monkey calls.  I think
she later used this technique with Burt and their bedroom antics.

Was Dave Edmunds, when he was leading a band called Love Sculpture.  "Sabre
Dance" is one of the favorite "classical kitsch" numbers space age pop
artists loved to cover.

For examples of others, check out:

P.S.--The reason I started the Space Age Pop website in the first place was
to have a place to put useless trivia like the above that otherwise just

Jane said, about a Pepsi promo song:

">>I am guessing this isn't the same song on the SOUND
GALLERY, eh?  Does anybody remember that song being
used in an ad?  Can Ashley fill us in on this a bit
more?
Prefers Coke, Jane Fondle"

WOW I need a tape of that Italian pepsi song!! Pretty please ?!?!?!?

Meantime I can fill in a bit about the cut on the Sound Gallery album for
ya: it's "Shout about Pepsi" and it was taken from "Non-Stop Pepsi Party" by
(I think) veteran EMI session muso Alan Hawkshaw, released on UK budget
label MFP c.1976. I found this LP in a junk (thrift) store for 25 pence,
which is about right. The cover features the usual dolly bird in garish pose
and the vinyl is AFAICR less than essential listening. Mighta bin some
promotional tie-in or soemthing but then I'd have expected it to have been
on a custom label rather than MFP.

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=172185933

Take a peek at this watercolor, up on eBay now.
(This isn't my auction - it's just an FYI.)

Here's the description:
From galaxies beyond our own, strange beings come to mingle under the archway for a rare look at items taken (more likely stolen) from the planet Earth. The tall, gray character with a friendless stare holds in his hand an authentic aboriginal star map. At his feet is a model of the Earth, along with the first microscope of that world. The stuffed bird is entitled "Dodo Mounted on Wood." Nearby, a green-skinned alien mischievously eyes a parrot boy, causing the youngster to hug his mother's leg. The parrot woman studies an oddity called a "bird cage." The cage-thing sits atop Marconi's first radio...No, she hasn't yet noticed the bird bath (a bargain for only 50 Gruens). The parrot man gazes toward a touring car in the distance; closer to him is a fifteenth century cannon and an early telescope, one purportedly first owned by a human named Galileo. Twin sisters from Sirius glide along in unison to orbit the unusual artifacts, while a blond alien watches from behind sunglasses.!
!
 Sitting on a velvet Louis XIVth chair is a piggish-looking, "poorly dressed" creature who appears to be openly annoyed at our presence. The foreground is littered with more earthly treasures...We see the elongated skull of an earthling and, tooled in clay, an ancient accountant's record of someone's financial history; an Assyrian stone carving; an eighteenth century porcelain doll; Thomas Edison's first phonograph; a painting by Renoir (supposedly genuine); a golden Egyptian cartouche fragment; a Grecian ornament stone (slightly chipped); and an eary radio from the Art Deco period. Contrasting the Polynesian clay figure and the wooden Byzantine statue, there stands a tiny toy mouse. With arms raised, he welcomes the arrivial of incoming cargo ships.

Subject: (exotica) The World Cup Exotica/Shibuya-kei cd

A truly strange and wonderful listening experience is "Bend It!  u.s.a. '94"  Harp
Records 199?

This is one wild ride of music, all kinds of styles.  It reminds me of Johan Dada Vis's
compilations.    The songs all share  the love of football/soccer.

The cd starts with the field recordings of a World Cup goal in 1966 followed by
Cornelius, who  contributes one of his best songs "Pele".  A nice bouncy shibuya-kei
song, this is great Cornelius song.
Kahimi Karie soon follows with a wordless vocal modern now sound classic called "World
Cup Football Jazz"   This is Kahimi with a very upbeat now sound and this is a great
great song by her.

Louis Philippe does "Eusebio"  another good song by a leader of modern soft pop.
Other groups I never heard of do wonderful soft pop exotica songs.

Theres a definite exotica feel to this collection.   This cd explores world of
fottball/soccer fasicnation/fantacism and sounds with even high schoolish football
chants and there is hardly a looser in this group of songs.

On the inside jacket it says "World Cup Bend It! USA 94 is licenced from exotica"

On the back of  the cd it says 25 soccer-boppers.

It also advertises a London address for ordering "Bend It,91, 92 or 93.

'Miniskirt' in particular has that sound, but not much else from the last 2
RCA albums has it. Two of his Mexican '45's from '69 have it - 'Mah Na Mah
Na' and 'Pais Tropical' - - but good luck finding them. His  unreleased Lex

Subject: (exotica) The Electric Logs

I had the opportunity to catch The Electric Logs last night in the Boston
area as they opened for Seks Bomba. George was right. Listers will be
interested in their sound which consists of Keyboards, Percussion, Theremin,
Drums and Bass. Some vocals. Their cassette contains "Mad Pad" (cover of
"Kookie's Mad Pad"), "Logs' Luv Theme", an original jet set-styled piece, a
wild, cool and swingin' version of "Sugar Sugar", a burnin' version of "Our
Man Flint" and "The Hump Dance" by some little known bizarre S.F.-based
songwriter back in the day...Keep your ears out for 'em...Jimmy Botticelli

Subject: (exotica) Classics

Hey all,

The millenium is coming up and I had a little pet
project I'd like to embark on.

What are the 100 (or so) CLASSIC exotica albums; those
albums that every Exoticat who's halfway serious
should have in their collection; The milestones and
yardsticks that all other Exotica is measured by.

Now for this list, I'm not looking for your personal
faves.  For example, while Vampyros Lesbos is not my
favorite, I would definitely put it in the "classics"
category and list it on my list.  Similarly, I'm not a
big Yma Sumac fan, but I think some of her work is
canonical.


The SECOND list I want to create is the top 100 (or
so) *underrated* exotica albums.  Basically, the
albums that, had the you ability, you'd bless every
person on the list with at least a copy of so they
could be exposed to this amazing find.  Basically,
things that really should find their way into the
canon.

For example, I'd include Hawaiian Swing by Hugo
Winterhalter. (I hope that's the right name.)  I
wouldn't say that it's a canonical work, but it's
bizarre and cool and I would certainly hope that
someday everyone would hear it.



Anyway,

I'm sure that these lists will cross over, and maybe
it's folly to try to even divide it, so if you are
having trouble deciding where something falls, don't
worry about it.


In the end, what I plan to do is coallate all the
lists, see what common albums bubble to the top, and
produce a final list, just in time for the turning of
the millenium.

(Yeah, I know the millenium REALLY changes a year from
now, but the rest of us non-astrophysicists are very
excited.)

Oh, and this is for ALBUMS, not compilations.
Although if you really think some compilations should
be part of the canon, let me know, and maybe I'll toss
in a third category.

Oh yeah, also, this is the BROAD category of exotica
including Hawaiian, exotica, now sound,
blaxploitation, go-go, ya ya, humpa, soft pop and
whatever else the hell we all listen to, right?

Also, there's NO age limit, as I'd include Combustible
Edison and Air in the canonical repetoire.  Or at
least the "Should Be" pile.


Anyway, the only way this is going to work is to play
early and OFTEN.  If everyone only submits one or two
albums, it's never gonna cut it.  We need lots of data
to do this right.  So think about this over the next
few days and if you think of any, forward them to me,
even a few at a time:

Thanks!
Peter

'Miniskirt' in particular has that sound, but not much else from the last 2
RCA albums has it. Two of his Mexican '45's from '69 have it - 'Mah Na Mah
Na' and 'Pais Tropical' - - but good luck finding them. His  unreleased Lex
DeAccevia sessions from '72, including an arrangement of Donovan's
'Atlantis', have more of a Sunshine Pop kind of sound.

They performed 'Malaguena'  to a rousing ovation

Esquivel appeared on the Danny Kaye show and a Pat Boone special. No known
copies exist.

 ohmigod.  This is one of the five billion reasons
 why this is my favorite lists.  Only my fellow
 exoticarians are capable of seeing the beauty in
 such a work. If I were just the slightest bit wealthier,
 I'd snap it up in a minute!
