All are listed as 'available' at the towerrecords.com website, though only
in low quantities.  If the reader is interested in either the Denny or
Baxter double-sets you are advised to acquire them post-haste, as EMI has
been folded into the Time-Warner conglomerate.
Technically all Capitol-EMI product is currently without distribution, and
music retailers are waiting for the other shoe to drop, whether existing
stock simply needs to be re-barcoded or there will be a massive recall on
everything.  I doubt this will mean The Beatles and Garth Brooks will
disappear from the shelves, but it's anyone's guess if obscure (and
expensive) doubles such as the Denny and Baxter
will survive the transition.

Subject: (exotica) Edmundo Ros

"Heading South of the Border" is one of my favorite Ros albums. It has a classic
cha-cha-cha version of "Light My Fire". Other covers on the album include "Hey,
Jude" and "With a Little Help from My Friends". Just about every cut on this
record is good.

For the pure latin stuff "Latin Hits I Missed" is pretty good.

What I have always enjoyed about Ros is the combination of a great band and
questionable choices of material. The dreadful singing always provides some
comic relief. I buy every Ros album I come across and usually find something
enjoyable about every one.

Adios,
Tom

Ayuo is a Japanese composer who grew up in New York, and plays celtic harp, hurdy-gurdy, and
sitar-guitar. His music ties together some of the ancient underlying strands of the world's music,
resulting in a sonically sensuous weave. On this program we listen to his new Tzadik release,
"Izutsu," and call him up in Tokyo to talk about his music.

March 24, 2000
That elegant instrumental hero of classical music, the cello, is heard in unusual contexts: featured
are performances by cellist-composers such as Fred Katz, Arthur Russell, Hank Roberts, Robert
Een, Peter Lewy, and others, plus selections from a tribute to the late New York downtown cellist
Tom Cora.

March 17, 2000
Two very old Irish traditions are represented on this St. Patrick's Day edition of the show: the a
cappella singing style known as "sean nos" is presented by the voice of Joe Heany, and Bat
Burns, Irish raconteur, tells us about the Gaelic language and recounts some old Irish stories.

March 10, 2000
That noble musical creature, the accordion, is featured. In contrast to common assumption, the
accordion is an instrument, not a kind of music. Several horizon-expanding accordionists are
heard: Mat Mathews, Bratko Bibic, Dom Frontiere, Vladimir Denissenkov, Guy Klucevsek, Will
Holshouser, and more.

March 3, 2000
George Duning's music brought charm and poignancy to such films as Picnic; Bell, Book, and
Candle; Houseboat; Any Wednesday; The 3:10 to Yuma; and even Mr. Magoo's 1001 Arabian
Nights. We hear from all those film scores on this program, which aired just a few days after
Duning's death.

February 25, 2000
During WNYC's fundraiser, a variety of music: Brazilian troubadour Xangai, Austrian composer
Max Nagl, songwriters Michael Holt and Brian Dewan, unreleased music by the Raymond Scott
Orchestrette, Charles Albertine & Larry Elgart's "Barefoot Ballerina," and more.

February 18, 2000
Because he was an arranger for Frank Sinatra, you might expect that Gordon Jenkins' music
would be pretty mainstream. In a way, it is-- and, in a way, it's really weird. This show features two
of Jenkin's ambitious and peculiar musicals for records: "Seven Dreams" and "Manhattan
Tower."

Subject: (exotica) Make your own Records at home

Sounds interesting for Vinyl Fans:

VRX-2000: Vinyl Recorder, not much bigger than a normal Record Player
IS IN WORK

After extensive research and many meetings worldwide, Vestax have realized
that there has been a major gap in the DJ market for a recording device for
DJ use.
There have been many efforts by other manufacturers to capture the
attention of the world’s DJ’s with new formats and fancy gimmicks, but
the truth still remains:
Vinyl is the only real format for mixing DJ’s
With this in mind our best technicians have been working all the hours
available in order to produce a machine with the specification that meets the
demands of professional DJ’s and recording studios.
The VRX-2000 is that machine.

  DJ’s can record their own music to vinyl. The process of getting
new music onto vinyl for DJ use has now been made easier.

  Various sounds and loops can be compiled to vinyl for DJ’s to use
in their sets. This will reduce the amount of records needed in DJ battle
situations. It will also allow DJ’s to have their own personalized
mixing tools made up of specific sounds unique to the user.

  The newest music on MP3, tape or CD can now be utilized for DJ
performance.

  Our new specially developed vinyl has been designed especially to
withstand heavy DJ use, including scratching, making this new format much better
than standard acetates or Dub-plates for DJ’s.

SLarry said something like "From following those posts
it seemed that most were not to impressed with his

I think though Larry that the general consensus was
not that he sucked, but that he was no Perez Prado.

I imagine though that he is still fun to listen to.

bobby trafalgar

http://paper.state51.co.uk/people/bobbytrafalgar.html


Remember when all car models didn't look alike? Further more they
looked great and had great names like Karmann Ghia and Alfa Romeo
Julietta Spider (we will never pretend to want something named
Hyundai -- ever!) They also came with 8-track cassette players "for
the quintessential sound and comfort on the road ".

Well this is the road to which we're heading once more, and like you
never heard it before; not since the days of The Persuaders,
transcendental meditation, Roy Lichtenstein, Carnaby Street, Shaft's
Big Score, Scandinavian sex reports (or even German schoolgirl ones
), the Italian Gallio fever, Art Vandalay, Bert Kampfaert and Peter
Thomas!

Recent years have seen a resurgence in this unique era in culture as
film festivals, video re-issues and cd compilations are showing, what
once was considered trash is now high pop art. The cd collections
have helped those who cannot afford the silly prices paid these days
for pieces of vinyl that once hung around in the bargain bins of
yesterday. From books, magazines, tv shows, revival bands like Mike
Flowers Pops and even the occasional hollywood project (Ed Wood &
Boogie Nights) they rise form the flames paying homage to an era of a
fascinating frenzy of genial gestures and psychedelic perfection.

One of the true leaders of this ethos IS ..... Bobby Trafalgar!

Repap's CD compilation is dedicated to this all but forgotten but
truly ingenious musician of the wilder years this side of Sodam and
Gommorrah. If it felt good they did it and the sound of Trafagar
certainly reflects this.

Little is known about his years as a Romanian native, but Trafalgar
was born Bogdan Trefer in the war year of 1942. His family came from
a long line of artistic and creative stock, all of whom would have
little weight at the time of Stalin's regime.

Young Bogdan still took violin, then piano lessons and performed in
the Third Pioneer Brigade Orchestra of Bucharest in the early
fifties, and was soon getting attention from the country's best
conductors. Touring in the Eastern Bloc soon followed with trips to
Paris and Berlin. Thanks to these trips he discovered jazz and
rock'n'roll, and it was not long before he could hear the call of the
west.

It was at this turning point in 1961 that he managed to defect into
West Berlin during the Ulbrecht celebrations of that year. He paid
the rent first as a bar pianist at the infamous Klempinski Hotel,
then as accordionist in "Die Josef Moosholzer Rytmusgruppe"
performing in some of the most popular knackwurst restuarants of the
time. He found his creative outlet during the late night jams
sessions, where he often sat in together with like minded players, as
the already successful bass player at the time, James Last. Through
Last he was introduced to band leader Horst Herrman, at that time
arranger for the Berliner Rundfunk, and soon landed the spot as piano
soloist. Soon he was backing vocalists like Hildegard Knef, Zarah
Leander and even Marlene Dietrich who took an instant liking to the
young prodigy. It was she who took him over to London's Hammersmith
Odeon and New Yorks Carnegie Hall as replacement for her then musical
director Burt Bacarach, who was away doing songs for a new Doris Day
movie. He spent 2 weeks in the vibrant new york scene of the early
sixties with its art house theatres, beatnik lifestyle and around the
clock music, it really stimulated Bobby Trafalgar. He heard Bill
Evans at the Village Vanguard, saw 8 1/2 and Breathless and went to
Andy Warhol exhibitions.

it was 1963, the same year as the movie How The West was Won; it
could have been the perfect title for the next chapter of Bobby
Trafalgar, the thoroughly gifted and fully defected romanian
pianist-arranger who by now had left his native name and country
behind him, as well as the violin! as the Dietrich tour was now at an
end, he returned to europe full of ideas and decided to try his hand
at composing. Back in germany he got in contact with producer Wolf.C.
Hartwig, specialist in sordid accounts of crime, delinquent youth
culture and the horrors (as well of the delights of) sex. He wrote
the scores to films like Die Jungen Tieren von St. Pauli (The Young
Animals of St. Pauli), Ein Gorilla Im Haut des Madchens (A Gorilla in
the Skin of a Girl) and Wagenwild! (Carcrazy!).

These were the years when the so-called respectable names in the
business mixed with the underground talent to interesting results, to
say the least! In these fims one often saw international actors such
as Gert Frobe, Horst Bucholz and Klaus Kinski enjoying themselves as
they scared the clothes off different shaped starlets and models
whose enthusiastic and exhausted screams always made up for lack of
acting abilility. Trafalgar also did uncredited arrangements for
Ennio Morricone and Daniel White at this time.

Bobby Trafalgar travelled wherever his work took him and once again
returned to the States in 1968, this time for a longer and stranger
sojourn. The late 60's and the early 70's offered a no-holds barred
way of life and a future of art that seemed limitless. Trafalgar
released psychedelic dance records together with his backing band The
Squares (in spite of this tongue in cheek name the group was indeed
very hip to the most contemporary sounds), he went into different
musical ventures of oriental as well as militant black jazz poetry.
The Trafalgar Squares wasn't your ordinary group but also part of a
commune with influences from Buddhism, existensialism, mysticism and
ufology. The collective was formed in 1969 and lived isolated 150
miles out in the Nevada desert. After 18 months "The Temple" fell
apart and the group split in early 1971. The bass player is now a
mayor in a small Utah town. it was after this event that Bobby
Trafalgar began to experiment in transvestism and during this period
he discovered the Moog synthesizer which came to be his favourite
instrument. Legend has it that he is seen in the lost Ed Wood film,
Take it Out In Trade, as a madame sporting a pink skeleton around her
neck but it remains to be seen if the movie ever resurfaces again.
The rest of the early seventies is just as enigmatic ...

1976 saw the return to music from a five year hiatus with the movie
score to the French porno film "Hotel d'Amour" by Francis Hulot
starring Brigitte Lahaie and the lovely Kitty McBride, who also
became Mrs. Trafalgar. Trafalgar later stopped composing again for
reasons unknown. Rumours say that Kitty left him to join a lesbian
camp in San Francisco in 1982. The last recording from Bobby was
released one year earlier and then he vanished into obscurity. Other
rumours are that he turned to the lucrative market of commercial
jingles and later television infomercial music. In any case he should
be heard for his unique musical vision in the many fields he pursued,
some of which have been assembled on this collection.

The era of the sixties and seventies was truly an age of
nonconformity and true freedom of expression. This is for all of us
who experienced those years, who took the unique zeitgeist for
granted, the movies for taking the snapshots, those hip cats and the
musical sounds in fashion -- well, it seems we woke up and smelt the
eighties and the nineties in just a few weeks, or before you could
say a-ha! And all of a sudden it was over, forever ...

Thanks to a stroke of luck, sheer persistance and the fantasic
technology we have today, many of these pieces of music have been
taken from vinyl, film and 8-track then redigitised, remastered
and/or remixed by Hakan Lidbo from Sweden. If you listen carefully
you can hear the personality of the man 'Bobby Trafalgar' contained
in these tracks ... wonderful!!!

I can just see you with the straw hat and suspenders too.
I'm not sure if you're serious but I am very serious.  The antidepressants
apparently don't kick in till tomorrow, the patch may be working but this
nicotine gum is hard to light.
Maybe when the drugs do kick in, I'll hold onto a few of those jazz CD's
but I doubt it.
This is purely a case of vinyl vs CD.  When I got a CD player and they were
reissuing all this jazz - especially on Blue Note - which I never thought I
would see, I know that I wasn't the only one to go a bit crazy.  Most of it
is gone by now and part of the reason has to do with Blue Note itself.  It
turns out that having fewer BN records is a good thing.  The more you get,
the more generic they ALL start to seem.  (With the exception of a few
Jackie McLean records.)  Not to return to an old issue but if you listen to
too many Blue Note records, the myth of improvisation starts to become a
bit stale.

But the point is, I hardly ever listen to jazz anymore.  And if I want to
hear it, I can play an LP of which I still have plenty.  Even though the
vinyl jazz is also due for another purging.

I kept a couple of Coltrane CD's.  A digital copy of my all time favourite
jazz record which I still have on vinyl too.

It's funny.  I had this idea that the jazz CD's were there if "women" came
over and I could just "slap it on and forget it".  As it turned out, the
first woman to really test that theory DID prefer CD's to LP's.  But even
though she still comes over, that's not a good enough reason to keep em.

I've run out of licorice.  And I'm having trouble finding a baby carrot
with the right circumference.  Gotta go.

I sympathize Mo.  And I'm glad for your passion on this subject.  I bet
other people agree with you but there's SO much brainwashing out there now
that even people who know the "truth" are tired of arguing against the
propaganda.
Try telling some of those kids that sex does not equal AIDS.
Or that taking drugs does not lead directly to a permanent state of Cheech
and Chong-ism.
You think of McCarthyism.  I think of Dragnet.  The episode where the kid
takes LSD and jumps off a building, thinking she can fly.

Anyway, speaking as one who's trying to quit smoking, I had no idea all
these years what a powerful drug I was on.  In the end I think it's going
to be the physical habit that I have the hardest time getting over.  The
reaching for, lighting,  holding in my hand etc.  But when I saw the rage
and sadness and irritability that washed over me for the last couple of
days, even with a delivery system on my arm, I realized I was HIGH - or low
- -  the last 25 years.
I didn't do animation high on drugs but while we're here, that's also total
bullshit that somehow animation is this fine and exacting work that only
the most sober mind can accomplish.  I know plenty of successful animators
who got high.
It's embarrassing to me to even say something so trite.
"Like hey man, we were so high last night..."
Which is probably why no one else has responded to this silly propaganda.
I hope.
I hate to be arguing in favor of drugs but in general I have preferred the
people who got high to the people who never did.  I prefer the people who
got high and sorta moved on but that's another story.

Sing along  Sound of Music was a great day out last year. Very very
amusing, all of us dressed as nuns, with fake plastic breasts, drunk,
singing along to Sound of Music with hundreds of gay men, children and
assorted borderline-sane people.

A quality afternoon out!

Subject: (exotica) Ed McCurdy and Cheesecake

Noting the obit on folk signer Ed McCurdy, I had to mention that Ed
recorded three albums on Elektra back in the dark ages.  Titled "When
Dalliance was in Flower," they were collections of Elizabethan and medieval
English bawdy songs and madrigals, and each LP featured a cover shot of a
medieval lass in scanty attire and some risque situation.
My dad had all three.  As probably did a bunch of other space age dads who
otherwise weren't big on medieval folk music.

I remember how let down I felt when I finally went to play on in my late
pre-teens.

Subject: (exotica) Keely Smith on NPR

For anyone able to hear NPR's Fresh Air, check out the guest for
today (Tuesday, April 4):

Singer KEELY SMITH. She has been called "The Queen of
Swing" and "the First Lady of Las Vegas". SMITH is perhaps best
known as the duet partner and wife of Louis Prima. Smith and
Prima drew crowds to the lounges of Las Vegas in the 1950s. Their
hits include "Jump, Jive, an' Wail," "Just a Gigolo," "I've Got You
Under My Skin," and "That Old Black Magic." Smith talks about her
marriage to Prima, the music they made together, and her
career. Smith has just released a new CD called Swing
Swing Swing (Concord Records).

Check with your local NPR station for their broadcast time.
Eventually, you can also hear it in RealAudio at the Fresh Air site:

Thanks for the space!

Yes it's Wanderley, as Cheryl has already cleared. But I would also
recommend the storming vocal version by Connie Francis "Bossa nova
Hand Dance", easily foundable on "Cocktail Mix, vol. 2: Martini
Madness", on Rhino.
Just my 200 lire.

Two years ago when I joined the list I went after Ros.  But I don't feel
exactly the same way anymore.  How can you hate the guy who did that
tic-tac-toe-cha-cha version of "United We Stand"?
And his "Light My Fire" is another classic of cha-cha-minimalism.
At the time I went after him, it was only because I thought someone was
comparing him a bit too favorably to Perez Prado.
But at that point, I hadn't found any mediocre Prado.  I might not make
that argument today.
Buy all the Ros you can find.  Except when he sings, it's never terrible.
And like almost everyone we talk about here, there's always a couple of
better-than-average cuts.

After several attempts finally got this.  Not at all interested in
Radiohead,  but i originally asked for details a few months ago and I've
only just heard about so Yah Boo to the RFH.

Anyway for anyone interested in it here it is.  There are actually more
interesting things going on there anyway (Yo La Tenga,  Ute Lemper).

Hello fellow Gentle Children,

Dougee Dimensional here, back from the far east.

The evening is free and very relaxed in atmosphere so bring your cocktail money and check it out.
I should be on from 9 to midnight or something and the bar closes at 1am.

Subject: (exotica) Frankie Burke

I found something today that may be interesting: Jack
O'Lantern Resort (Woodstock, NH) Presents Frankie
Burke. Frankie covers Killing Me Softly; Fidler On the
Roof; It's Impossible; And I Love Her So; Tiny
Bubbles; Spanish Eyes; My Way; The Most Beautiful
Girl; For the Good Times and Money, Money (Cabaret) -
on electronic instruments.

Here's Frankie: "Singing is my primary thing, with the
synthesizers becoming another important part of my
life. I really love them."

The cover info also refers to "oscillators, filters,
envelope generators, ring modulators and other
devices."

No dates, but I'd guess it's early seventies or late
60s (judging by set list and Frankie's supper club get
up). And it's dedicated and signed by the man himself.
Wow.

Found Project Comstock also. A blessed day in the
trash shop. Can't wait to get home with these weird
new toys.

For those I offered the Rudy Rosa tape to - Squire
Burke will be on the flip.

BW
