Went to the local GBMC Hospital flea market - a HUGE affair held twice a =
year that usually yields some cool LP's.  Unfortunately, the pickings were =
slim this year........just gave these the cursory "needle drop treatment."

Briarcliff Strings and Voices "The Great Hits of Today" - Okay, so I'm a =
sucker for the "la la da lum" vocalizations - nothing special here, and =
some strictly "stringy" selections with no voices what so ever.  Donkey =
Sheen or whatever the hell that song's called is on here.............

The Supermen - Superman - This is the find of the batch.  A way cool and =
swingin' instro with a couple of fun vocal tunes to kick things off.  The =
band is definitely one of those "studio surf bands" possibly the Clee-Shays=
 or Marquettes(?).  Whoever they are, they pound out some fun, twangy =
stuff.......

Milt Buckner "Please Mr. Organ Player" - Nothing special in this mediocre =
mix of jazz standards.  The title song's the only original, with a guy =
saying "Pleeeese Mr. Organ Player" as the song progresses................

"The Now Sound of the Brass Ring" - Veeeery sexy brunette on the cover - a =
classic 60's babe.  We all know this sound me thinks.........

Lester Lanin and His Orchestra Play "The Madison Ave. Beat"  58 Radio/TV =
Commercials - Here's a collection of commercial jingles spliced together =
in a weird "three-fer" per each track listing.  Boring compositions =
probably await in that "ho hum" Lester Lanin style.  Cool b/w photo of old =

Eddie Layton and the Hammond Organ "Caravan" - Yikes!  Another Caravan =

"okay."

Well, Think....I've go "Two's Company" with him collaborating with Chris
Conner. On Roulette. Maybe you are looking for stuff without vocals...but I
dig the vocals. Nice long version of  "New York's My Home" by Gordon
Jenkins...and the last track is my fave. "Can't Get Out Of This Mood".  I
know they did another album together on Atlantic but  haven't found it yet.

I have to mention that Chris Conner is coming to Worcester MA this Friday
and I got my tickets! I didn't know she was still working and am very
excited about seeing her. Worcester native Maynard is still going strong
and still visits the area a lot. He likes to play at Point Breeze on the
MASS/RI border...

Maynard Ferguson is also on "Dinah Jams" by Dinah Washington.  He doesn't
have too many solos, but hey, DINAH WASHINGTON!  It's a live disc.

Another one by M.F. that's kind of interesting is his sole foray
(I think) into movie-TV scoring.  "Straightaway Jazz Themes" on
Roulette features themes he wrote for the early '60s TV series
"Straightaway" about race car drivers.  Performed by Maynard's
famous late 50s, early 60s big band with Jaki Byard, Don Menza,
Lanny Morgan, arrangements by Don Sebesky and Willie Maiden,
etc.  Not great, but a lot of fun and an interesting sidelight to his
long career.  The TV show only lasted for one season.

The best is also going to be extremely hard-to-find.  Early and mid 50's
recordings on EmArcy and Roulette, which dip into the early sixties.

Not likely you'll stumble upon these in your local thrift stores  :)

Despite all the great jazz that has been reissued on CD, these early original
Maynard Ferguson titles are sadly missing.  Most of the stuff is 70's and
80's...

I think most of Maynard's stuff on Command is pretty groovy.

For jazz stuff check out his work in Stan Kenton's Innovations Orchestra ---
avaliable as a double cd.  Recorded in 1950 and 1951 the sound on this cd
beats the hell out of the sound of most cds taken from material recorded in
the 70s!!!  Maynard's solos are killer.  And in my humble opinion it's one of
the best big band cds available!

Best,
Larry

And finally, Jack is 100% right.  It is the small labels who are putting
out
complete cds of complete original albums.  I think that's what most of
us
want, not some comp cd that has had more money and attention spent on
how it
looks rather than what is on it or how it sounds.  >>

I agree it is certainly hit or miss picking up "lounge" comps, although
from time to
time I am surprised and delighted to find one that has more than one or
two good
cuts - some that come to mind that I recently acquired include the
Lounge DeLuxe
3 CD - compilation on Pulse from the UK (sure seems like a small label
to me )
- - I wouldn't say every cut's a winner, and there is some overlap from
some other
comps I have, but there are enough new ones, good ones, to say this is
worth it
for sure. And the Okazaki Hiroshi and His Stargazers compilation is
fantastic - truly
outstanding, from Readymade Records - again, not a large label like
Capitol/EMI,
but they seem big in Japan to my perception.

Which brings me to another point:
I have gotten a TON of stuff that are great re-releases of full albums
by great
artists, and some great compilations, too, from big labels like RCA
(Spain) for
Henry Mancini, and Polydor (Japan) for more Brazilian music and
generally cool,
groovy sounds, MPS re-issues, and the list goes on and on - and these
Japanese
releases can be very pricy - so why don't these moronic labels put out
domestic
releases of original material?  Because they don't think there's a
domestic market.
And I say they're wrong, but I can't back it up with demographics, and
probably
couldn't find a domestic Rep with sense enough to listen anyway. Oh, I
guess
that's because they're too busy promoting Brittney Spears and the Back
Street
Boys - oh joy.

Fortunately, I think the internet's ability to identify diverse users in
what have
been viewed as fragmented markets, digital distribution, and content
aggregators
will begin to make some headway with the big labels. At least, I hope
so.
There is still a ton of great music out there that is so hard  to
find...especially
stuff we don't even know about yet!

Your links were a little too long for me to pick up so I went to cdnow.  This
music sounds fantastic!!!    Everything I heard was right up there with the modern
soft pop sound.  Really sweeping melodies you would expect from writers on the
Siesta label or Louis Philippe.

I was a little surprised to listen to Emmylou Harris.

Thanks raul for the promo

Easy listening in the Big Easy

Speaking of the UL series and EMI/Capitol. I got to ask this question.

I visited a used record store in Cambridge MA over the weekend and they had
all the Ultra Lounge CD?s and lots of other EMI/Capitol releases. All still
in shrink wrap. Everything was $10 a piece. Some of them with damaged jewel
boxes or with little cut-outs on the side.I asked them where they got these
and they told me they got them "from the warehouse".  Is this true?  Or did
they fall off the back of a truck?  And I got more questions.....

Didnt they do a track on the Charles Wilp remix thingy? I have various
tracks by them on remix 12"s and compilations that fill up a whole cd-r.
Most that are post-Trip Tease. As far as a whole new record I dont think
there is one planned, anyone else know? Oh and if you are into Tipsy, you
should note that there is a new Stock, Hausen and Walkman release called
Organ Transplants vol. 2. its the follow up to their Organ Transplants vol 1
and if you dont have that one, go get it. Vol. 1 is Chock full of Exotica
samples and devoid of dance beats. Truly interesting. I would definitely
recommend them to anyone who likes Tipsy. Im awaiting my copy of Vol. 2 in
the mail.

There is also a new Curd Duca cd-Elevator 3 if you are into that thing, he
samples plenty of exotica stuff and twists it around and creates completely
original music, truly a one of a kind artist,  though he tends to be a bit
minimal for this list.

Hey, has anyone heard the band Space Ponch? I heard a snippet at the
OtherMusic site and damned it if they dont sound exactly like Perry &
Kingsley. I say they are ripping them off a bit. does the whole cd sound
like this? Anybody own it that wants to comment on it?

Seems like there is lots of great new music being released recently. Hope it
keeps up.

    * wel, i have to disagree: this is a wonderful colllection. "My

    i only have 1 & 2... to invert-quote Jack: all Filler, no Killer!

    * Volume One impresses more by sheer quantity than quality. Lots of
tracks that were previously unreleased, and not without good reason. Very
few really good tracks. For completionists only.

    * Volume Two: Nice to get access to lots of obscure spaghetti film
music, but if you expect to find lots of lost treasures, then you're in for
a disappointment. For completionists only.

    "My Delicious Spaghetti Western" gets thumbs up from me too: all
great typical spaghetti tracks!

Many stores won't carry promos or will give you next to nothing for

Great!  So if everyone of us on the List buys a CD (and remember --- no
booting!) the "small labels" will sell around 450 CDs.

Come on, it's a diverse world out there.  There is room for the UL's as well
as the "small labels".

Am I the only one to admit that I like some of the UL and other comp's out
there?

That's for sure. I buy lots of promos from these places. Don't get much
back when returning one I don't like.

Jack, There were little cuts on the UL's I don't know about most of the
other CD's as they were packadged in those protective anti-theft
cases...There was waaaayy-too much material, unopened, to be from a
person....right? Sinatra, Matt Murphy, Peggy Lee... I was drooling but I
only left with an EMI Julie London import. A least $20 retail. The rest I
can get for $13....

Really a darn shame...I play this kind of music on the radio and I wish I
could get these cut-out or damaged jewel box CD?s for the prices these
dealers are getting. Which I guess, is what, about 1-2 dollars each?  Free
would have been better. Sure these will be going to an individual, who will
personally enjoy them, but I might also play it on the radio and get it
exposed.  And I making any sence here? But I guess now the lounge "game" is
over..... FWIW I did contact the UL folks and they were generous enough to
send me 3 of those samplers of the samplers. But since this is the genrea
that I do I was hoping they could have filled out the series I was
missing.......

Gee......Saying this I feel like a cheapskate. And I guess I am. Maybe I
should be paying top dollar and supporting "the business." Most other?s
here who do radio programs do so without qualms.

Lounge Festival 2000
May 27
Branaleone, Via Levana 11
Rome, Italy

A festival dedicated entirely to Easy Listening with DJ's and live music
will be held in Rome. For several years this phenomenon has involved many
aspects of entertainment, from the recovery and presentation of musical
genres that have been ignored for many years, such as 60's and 70's French
and Italian film soundtracks,  to the screening of rare "pearls" of the
cinema. This festival intends to show the different aspects of this
phenomenon in one evening.

The evening will begin with a concert by one of the key composers in the
history of Italian film scores, Maestro Piero Umiliani. Accopanied by his
quartet, Umiliani performs the most represtative tunes of his career, from
the "Solti Ignoti" to "Svezia Inferno Paradiso", as well as the Lounge
music classic "Mah-na Mah-na". The evening will proceed with the Italian
band Balanco, from Bari. who have risen in the Italian scene thanks to
their single, which sold thousands of copies internationally. Their music
definitely draws from cinematic influences and has a contemporary beat.

The second half of the evening is dedicated to DJ sessions by DJ's Fez-File
(Nicola Conte & Fillipo Bratta ) and Brother Cleve, from the noted Boston
band, the Combustible Edison. There will be records, collectibles, and
period design vendor stands in the other spaces near the main hall. In
addition, there will be a Lounge style restaurant with music by Dr. Sr.
Taylor, Masoch Club DJ, Kawamurino.
The evening is made possible by the organization of the international
publication Il Giaguaro and The Bracaleone.

Probably, but many thing's have their ways of getting into people's hands,
so maybe not

There are places that buy cut outs or more commonly known as
Discontinued at 25 cents on the dollar and then resell them for anywhere
from .50 per CD to $4.00, but they usually have a minimum purchase price,
like $200.00

Like this, you or anyone can buy "X" at .50 per CD, but you have to spend a
minimum of $200.00 OR $1.00 per LP, or whatever the cost
They are sealed, not even a cut-out or cut anywhere to be found.
They look and most likely even are "new".

It's also at these kinds of places where all the bootleg LP's and probably
CD's are sold
Grey market, such as all the blaxploitation LP reissues that have been
coming out for more than a few years, but actually, those cost a lot more
than 1 - 2 $

Not necesarily.  A cut out can indicate that the item has been deleted from
pressing and is sold to the store, and the ultimate buyer at a discount
price.  This started years ago with records.  When a record was out of print
but companies were still left with many copies of records that weren't
selling they would cut the corner or cut out a notch, or put a small drill
hole in the cover.  The idea was you could buy the record for cheap but it
was less valuable as it was not intact.  Also it kept retailers from selling
these records they got for as little as 10 cents each from selling them at
full price.

This continues today with cds.  SOme of the RCA History Of Space Age Pop
series can be found in stores with a cut out.  These are no longer in print.
The manufacturer or a distrubtor has sold them very cheaply and the cut-out
diminished the value and alerts consumers not to pay full price.

NOT TO BE SOLD CDS: when you see a cd that has a hole punch through the bar
code that is a promo cd that was given away for free.  Supposedly the disc is
still owned by the manufacturer and only on loan to radio stations or record
stores for inhouse play, however, they never request them back.  Most often
you will find these used as dj's from pro radio stations as well as dj's from
college stations will sell them to used cd places.

That should cover all the bases.

Hi there Tiki Bob
Oh Yee Defender of Martin Denny and the Ultra Lounge Comps!!

I like comps whether they are done by Capital Records, the Exotica Ringers, Jack
Diamond or Johan Dada Vis   (Just played a great James Bond comp of Johan's radio
show)  Comps for me always lead  to more music by artists who have released classic
albums.

I think there are many great comps such as Music To Watch Comets By  that point you
in a whole new direction of music.   The U L comps similarly are signposts that
direct the uninitiated and jaded into styles/types of music that they may not have
been involved in before: ex Bongos or organs or exotica.    There's lots of good
songs on these ULs and why did Capital release them?  Because its call the "music
BUSINESS"

For me the more releases the better.   I still can't figure what the labels were
doing in the 50s and 60s releasing all these weird albums I see in thrifts .  WHO
bought this stuff 40 years ago?.  Maybe somebody someday will be saying that about
the UL comp Space Capades.

I sure wish Capital would get its act together and release Les Baxter albums as
twofers with bonus cuts.   Not likely though since they tried this with the Beach
Boys and pulled the cds off the US market and rereleased the albums singularly w/o
the bonus cuts. (Now you have to get them from Canada)  I have very little faith in
Capital Records.

If not for happening upon UL "Space Capades" in a Best Buy one fateful spring
day, I never would have been introduced to the exotica world. I bought it
knowing nothing about it, was amazed, and my disposable income has been
decimated ever since.

No, you are not alone.  I like a well done comp if it  manages to present a
diverse listening experience and still cohere as a whole (for example: Easy
Project 1, Espresso Espresso , Jet Society) .  At the risk of  enraging the
masses, I even like the UL Organs in Orbit, although the fake medley  thing
sucks. I also like having the chance to check out different artists without
having to buy a pile of cd's.This is not to say that I don't think that the
individual albums shouldn't be re-issued.

Okay, now I've heard wayyy too many references to Gentle People's "Music to
Watch Comets By" comp -- a release I've never been able to find, much less
find information about.

Anyone on the list know who's on it? Better yet, anyone willing to do a trade
for a burn of it?

Subject: (exotica) Watching Comets

Off the top of my head its got Lorraine Bowen doing her 2 best songs.  Valleri
Lemercier (sp?)  doing her best song.  The Easy Aloha's and a full version of Br
Cleve's "Dreamsville"  Le Hammond Inferno also are on here and the Gentle People
have a "Tiki Mix" of one of their spaciest gentle songs.

Its availabel at http://www.othermusic.com and I think Medium Rare and cdnow.
Japanese import and pricey.  I do not ,  unfortunately for the world, at this time
have a cd burner.

This comp had its sign posts  " straight up ahead";   -  "Shibuya-Kei  and modern
soft pop"

I believe it was first posted to this list years ago by TonyWayne from Australia a
big jpop, shibuya-kei,  P5 fan in my memory.
