Hi, Jane.  I have a copy of this!  According to Jeff Chenault's Les
Baxter discography, it was apparently released as a 10" and a 45 rpm
set.   I bought my copy from a guy whose dad worked for Capitol
Records, and it looks like a test pressing.  It's a heavy 12" album,
with what looks like a Capitol in-house label slapped on, and the
track listings typed right onto the label by an old Corona
typewriter.

The music's not particularly interesting, to my ears anyway.  Pretty
straightforward, Jacques Offenbach-ish ballet music.

>  I recently got an LP on the Carlton label called "Atlantis."

Would this be "Atlantis in Hi-Fi" by Alexander Lazlo and the Bavarian
State Symphony Orchestra (Carlton 12/106)?  According to the liners,
it's music from the "Forbidden Island" (isn't this the movie in which
MARTIN DENNY appeared??).  I guess A. Lazlo did the music for a lot
of Hollywood cheapies -- including "Attack of the Giant Leeches",
"Atomic Submarine" (sounds like there might be a theremin in this
one) and "Beast from Haunted Cave", among others.

Here's a track listing for "Atlantis in Hi-Fi":

The Coral Empire
Temple of Poseidon
Traffic of a Sunken City
Sunset on the Ocean Floor
Night Below the Reef
Conference of the Sea Gods
Rapture of the Deep
War at 90 Fathoms
Exiles of Atlantis

Maybe it's not exotica, but "oceania".  Sounds like a candidate for a
two-fer CD with "Skin Diver Suite" or "Jewels of the Sea"...?

"Jazz Heat, Bongo Beat" is out on CD.  Dusty Groove had it, also Jack
Diamond.

Subject: (exotica) Albert Ketelbey

A little more on Albert Ketelbey, composer of exotica faves:

Born 9 August 1875, Birmingham, England
Died 26 November 1959, Isle of Wight, England

Albert Ketelby displayed a talent for music at a young age, and by his
teens was composing classical pieces.  He attended Trinity College of Music
in Oxford, beating out Gustav Holst in a scholarship competition. Although
he achieved some critical recognition for his choral and chamber works, his
greatest success was in descriptive pieces, much along the lines of
Delius's "In the Fens," but with much more exotic subjects.  His "In a
Persian Market," "In a Chinese Temple Garden," and "In a Monastery Garden"
were very popular with theater orchestras and in sheet music form.
Although this type of music is now out of style, it was well considered at
the time--Ketelby was in some ways the last of a line that included Johann
Strauss and Franz Lehar.

From the Space Age Pop Music page:
http://home.earthlink.net/~spaceagepop/ketelbey.htm

I'd add that several albums of his compositions were recorded on classical
labels in the 1950s and any of these are worth looking for.  Respighi,
Vaughn Williams, Mussorgsky, and William Grant Still are some better-known
descriptive composers.  And Sibelius--"Finlandia"--is another.

Brad

I'm not sure who came first.  I can tell you that Jim Fassett did do at least
one record of manipulated field recordings of birds BEFORE Symphony of the
Birds.  Its called Music and Bird Songs and was first presented on his radio
broadcast "Your Invitation to Music" during the intermission of a concert by
the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra in 1952.

Will at Show and Tell Music turned me onto it, a little 10 inch job inna

Some say yes, some say no. It's definitely a very controverse album. I guess,
if you play drums yourself, it helps to appreciate the record. I personally
don't listen all too often to my copy of it, actually never since the first
time. Does anybody, btw, know what it would be worth on Ebay?

Both those LPs go for around $40 each. Both are worth having but you
wont listen to them very often. Hal Blaine needed to check himself - far
too much of him wanking himself off in a self-indulgent drumming frenzy.
Stones is just odd - moogish, psychedelic but very laid back.

Memory comes back... Now I remember what I didn't like about Psychedelic
Percussion: It's not psychedelic at all.

And to bring up again the Classical Music for the Exotica thread, Oliver
Messiaen has often used transcriptions of bird calls in his music, such as
"La Merle Noir" in 1951.

That doesn't help, either..uh, oh...everybody's lookin' at me...

Subject: (exotica) shirl remix LP

Got a copy of this on vinyl last night.  Its surprisingly good,  theres a
couple of tracks that made my hair tingle.  The package is nice and the cut
is better than the promo 12 I have,  really full bass and nice punchy drums.
I was a bit disappointed by the propellerheads remix of Goldfinger,  but
that may have been raised expectations after Ashley's rave a few weeks back,
its sinuous and you keep expecting it to get sinewy, but it doesn't quite
get there,  lacking the punch of their version of OHMSS.  The mantronik mix
(Diamonds I think) was a tingler for sure, both versions of light my fire
are great (dusty groove describe the 12tree mix and drum and bass, but I'd
say its nearer a two-step/UK garage style).
I thought the Groove Armada mix of 'Big spender' was going to be dreadful,
but its a treat,  lots of indie guitars.  I still think that version of
spinning wheel is messy.  The version of Brel's 'If you go away'is
hilarious, nice floaty beginning, then off on a furious euro/pop-trance tip.
Theres a Nightmares on Wax remix of a tune I don't know that i liked in
spite of my reservations of them as people (I hate tossers who send their
'representatives' over to talk to you).
I'm going to start my next Thursday night with a full half hour off it.

Mr Quintron is one of the wilder characters in New Orleans.
His music could easily have been in Chusid's new book.
The site below leads you to music clips.
Also theres a picture of Ernie Kdoe at the site.  If ever you
visit New Orleans, Kdoes Bar which seconds as his house, is a

They are also available as a "twofer" CD "limited edition" (read:
bootleg), which shouldn't cost more than $20 US (I found my copy used
for around $12 CDN, so I can't complain...)

Jane,

Those Samuel Hoffman tracks are from a Capitol 45 rpm I
found on eBay.  Don't know anything else about them, except
the accompanist is listed as Merrill Saunders.

I didn't know you were a Theremin enthusiast.  I bought my
wife, Carrie, a Big Briar Etherwave Theremin for Christmas,
and she is OBSESSED with it and practices daily.  There's a
Theremin email list, LEVNET, in case you're interested.

That line prompted me to head for my CD collection and dig out my John Cale
CD and listen to it. What a great song. I think he's definitely turning into
my favorite Velvet (overtaking Mo).

BTW (though this is not exotica-related), Cale's soundtrack for "American
Psycho" sounds cool (at least the parts I heard). And while I'm at it, there
are some *hilarious* speeches on late-80s music in the film as well...

Later,
Ben

Subject: (exotica) vinyl scores in Canada

Been on holiday in Vancouver and the Sunshine Coast of BC for a while. I
scoured all the requisite thrift stores but they're getting really picked
through. I visited a great record dealer in Vancouver, however, and I also
went to the Vancouver Record show. Between the two I scored the following.

- - "Bongo, Bongo, Bongo" by Preston Epps (great bongo exotica thing. One side
is an extended bongo and bass jam with sounds of lions and tigers and
various 'jungle sounds' thrown in, along with 'authentic' African chant
music. Must date from '62 or something)

- - "Magoo in Hi-Fi" by Jim Backus and some orchestra. Mr Magoo stuff and
music. A bit scratched but plays well, worth the 3 bucks i payed for it.

- - "Let's Do it Again" OST. Starred Jimmy Walker! Not so great OST except for
the slow-funk 'Big Mac'

- - "Adventurers" OST by Quincy Jones. A good one.

- - "Singing Dogs: The Caroling Dogs of Copenhagen". Dog barking that is
manipulated into notes to form melodies, then put over top accompanying
music. From the 70's. A little goes a long way.

- - "Vibe-Brations" by Bobby Christian. Has a cool sitar & vibe track.

- - "L's GA" by Salvatore Martirano. The full title is too long to bother
with. REALLY twisted electronics and effects out-there wierdness. from '68 I
think. Not in perfect shape, but definitely good enough. i can't get enough
of this sort of thing.

- - "Cincinatti Kid" OST. Not Lalo Schifrin's best, but it was dirt cheap.

- - "Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room"

- - "Farewell Aldebran" by Judy Henske and Jerry Yester. From '68. Has one
very cool/strange tracks and a few others that'll grow on me.

- - "The Landlord" OST

- - "Devil's Angels" OST. Lot of fuzzed out Davie Allen stuff for an old biker
flick.

- - "Electronic Evolutions" by Sear/Hayman

- - "Quiet Village" by Les Baxter

- - "Exotica II", "Exotica III" and "Hypnotique" by Martin Denny

- - "Ghandarva" by Beaver and Krause. Dull, useless, don't bother.

- - "Ragnarock" by Beaver and Krause, better than the above but not great. At
least it's on Limelight.

- - "Welcome to the Ponderosa" by Lorne Greene. Great! I love this guy.

- - "Groovie Ghoulies" by Groovie Ghoulies. o.k. songs from this old TV show.
Not much different than the Archies really.

- - "People of the Sky". Electronic thing from '69 on Nonesuch. In the
Nonesuch vein.

- - "What's Up Tiger Lily" OST. Not bad.

- - "Candy" OST. Sealed copy. I have this already but its too noisy. It's good
but not great.

- - some album by the Hobbits from '68. o.k. lyte psych. a bit scratched but
only cost a buck.

- - "New Time Element" by Emil Richards. not bad.

- - "Mah-nah, mah-nah" by dave pell singers.

- - "Themes For Secret Agents" by Roland Shaw Orchestra. thrift store score.

I also got some great CDRs from this record dealer, mostly of rare
brazillian psych. At the record show he scored, amongst other great albums
(helps to get in with the other dealers), some crank-hippy lp called "Rock
is a 4 letter word". Looked nuts. Anyone out there have this? Worth having?

hope everyone had a great summer

later...

Subject: (exotica) [obits] George Edmund Sandell,Stanley Turrentine,Tad Nichols

SANTA MONICA, California (AP) - George Edmund Sandell, a noted violin and viola
player, teacher and inventor, has died, family members said. He was 88.

Sandell died Aug. 26 in Santa Monica, where he lived.

Born in Malmo, Sweden, Sandell was raised in Denver and graduated from Denver
University with a bachelor's degree in music in 1933. He studied in New York
under the viola virtuoso William Primrose and on scholarship at the Royal
Swedish Conservatory in Stockholm.

Sandell moved to Los Angeles in 1938, where he played with the Los Angeles
Philharmonic and the Pasadena and Santa Monica Symphonies. Along with
classical, he performed pop, swing and Latin music, and played with the string
sections of big band luminaries Harry James, Jimmy Dorsey and Xavier Cugat.

``He was a very, very unusual man in that he had extremely eclectic
background,'' said Sandell's stepson, Arlen Lessin, from New York City. ``He
was a classical musician performing at the same time with great bands of Dorsey
and James - and while Frank Sinatra was on the stage.''

Sandell also played in recording studios, including some of Sinatras
recordings, Lessin said. ``They had a very unusual, symbiotic kind of
relationship that hardly anybody knew about.''

Sandell worked for almost all the big Hollywood studios, playing on orchestral
soundtracks for movies such as Citizen Cane. He also worked for the arranger
Nelson Riddle.

In 1946, Sandell received a U.S.O. commendation for his work entertaining the
troops during World War II and a citation from the Treasury Department for
organizing War Bond events in Hollywood.

His life took a different turn the following year, when he invented the
Gee-Bee, a kitchen sponge with a plastic handle for washing dishes. He sold the
company to DuPont in 1953.

Sandell continued to perform throughout the 1960s and '70s, and taught master
classes in violin and viola.

``He didn't come from a family involved in music,'' said Lessin. ``His father
was a newspaper man and owned an interest in a paper in Sweden. He apparently
just had it, and was a child prodigy.''

Sandell is survived by Lessin; his third wife, Sheila Ruby; and a
granddaughter.

Jazz Saxophonist, Turrentine Dies

By BETH GARDINER
.c The Associated Press


NEW YORK (AP) - Stanley Turrentine, a jazz saxophonist whose hit ``Sugar''
established him in the popular mainstream and influenced musicians in many
other genres, died Tuesday. He was 66.

Turrentine died at a New York hospital two days after suffering a stroke, said
his agent, Robin Burgess. He lived in Fort Washington, Md., outside Washington,
D.C.

Turrentine, who played tenor saxophone, mixed jazz with blues, rock, rhythm and
blues and pop.

``His impact on jazz was just astonishing,'' Burgess said. ``He had a large
impact on fusion, electric jazz and organ trio music.''

Turrentine started his career playing with Ray Charles and Max Roach. He scored
his biggest hit in 1970 with ``Sugar,'' which became something of a jazz
standard, frequently performed and re-recorded by admirers.

He grew up in Pittsburgh, surrounded by music. The piano player Ahmad Jamal
lived nearby, and often visited to practice on the Turrentines' upright piano.
Stanley's mother played piano, his father played tenor sax and his brother
Tommy played trumpet. The brothers played at the Perry Bar in Pittsburgh, their
first professional gig, while they were still in high school, and often
performed together as adults.

Turrentine began traveling with a band when he was 16, and later joined one of
Charles' early rhythm and blues groups. He played in a jazz band headed by
Roach and replaced the departing John Coltrane in Earl Bostic's band.

Turrentine went solo in the 1960s. His blues-influenced riffs brought him
commercial success with albums such as ``Stan 'The Man' Turrentine,'' ``Up at
Minton's,'' and ``Never Let Me Go.'' When ``Sugar'' brought him fame outside
the jazz world, some fellow musicians accused him of abandoning artistry to
pander to popular taste.

He said he preferred mixing genres to being boxed in.

``One day, my stepson and I were alphabetizing my albums over the years, and I
noticed that they categorized me as a rock and roll player on certain albums, a
bee-bop player on other albums, a pop player, a fusion player,'' he once said.
``And I'm just saying ... 'Gee, I'm just playing with different settings, but
I'm still playing the same way.'''

Nature Photographer/Filmmaker Tad Nichols Dead at 89

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Tad Nichols, a photographer whose images of
nature, wildlife and geology graced the covers of National Geographic
and Arizona Highways magazines, died Wednesday after complications
from a stroke.  He was 89.

Nichols took up photography as a child and studied under Ansel Adams
and Brett Weston, said his granddaughter, Lisa DelViscovo.

Aside from photography, Nichols also made nature films for Walt Disney's
movie studio and documented scientific expeditions, including a 1944
Harvard University journey to Mexico's Paricutin volcano.

(those Disney nature films were the scariest, cruelest things I had ever
seen when I was little and first exposed to them - lou)

Just a quick note:

I'll be guesting on Domenic's "Martinis with Mancini" show on WJUL, Lowell
MA (91.5) this Friday from 6-9 AM.

I'll be bringing a bunch of Exotica standards, not-so-standards and some
goofy music, so tune in if you can.

Looks like they broadcast live, 24x7, too. Link at:

Subject: (exotica) Finally!

I've just received the latest release list from All Music. Check this out!:

RCA Spain continues their exciting, reasonably priced ($15.99) series of
rare vocal,
soundtrack and exotica albums of the 50s and 60s with:
    Helen Merrill, PAROLE E MUSICA (rare tracks recorded in Italy in the early
60s, previously
avail. only as a pricey Japanese import)
    The Voices of Walter Schumann, EXPLORING THE UNKNOWN
    Sid Bass, FROM ANOTHER WORLD
    Esquivel, LATIN-ESQUE
    Jeanne Lee & Ran Blake, THE NEWEST SOUND AROUND

Here's some other odds and ends from the list:
- -Lou



NEITHER FISH NER FOWL
      And some VERY weird stuff....

Fans of the recent JUDY SPEAKS, private tape recordings of Judy Garland
(which we have on
hand) are bound to enjoy FOUR STRONG WOMAN, the latest entry in the
CELEBRITIES AT THEIR
 WORST series, featuring nearly an hour of Courtney Cox cussing &
complaining, Mae West
pretending to be someone else on the phone, Tallulah Bankhead and buddies
getting tipsy in the
studio, and best of all, the recent, infamous Nina Simone radio interview in
which an unwilling
Nina complains, "I'm ILL and I can't stay on this phone very long!" and then
spends the next 20
minutes attributing all her troubles and her current condition to
"raaaacism!"  $11.99


Various, SLEIGHED: THE OTHER SIDE OF XMAS--Songs for the holiday doldrums,
incl You
Aint Getting S*** for Xmas, I Farted on Santa's Lap, Santa Doesn't Cop Out
on Dope, $11.99

Marilyn Chambers, STILL INSATIABLE--We are now taking pre-orders for
AUTOGRAPHED
copies of this new CD of spoken-word autobiographical reminiscences.  Mae
West's famous
line--"I used to be Snow White, but I drifted"--never applied more than in
the case of Chambers,
who began as the girl on the Ivory Snow box and ended up as the queen of 70s
hard-core
porn.  There's fascinating info here on the porn industry and Chambers'
attempts to go legit,
beginning with a small role in Streisand's OWL & PUSSYCAT--(All she'll say
about Barbra is:
"[She] was...just what you thought she is. I'm thinking, Omigod, how does
anybody put up
with....  She was just impossible.")--incl. 3 versions (2 vocal) of the
theme from her latest film
STILL INSATIABLE, $16.99

SHUT UP, LITTLE MAN!--Incredibly popular cult album--a MUST for any serious
collection but
not for the faint of heart.  Here are the real-life rantings, ravings &
ramblings of Peter &
Raymond, two belligerent, aging white-trash alcoholic San Francisco
roommates from 1987.
Culled from 15 hours of raw recordings made by their frustrated neighbors,
these 72 minutes of
vitriolic, almost surreal, hysterical (in both senses of the word) verbiage,
profanity and abuse,
illustrate their twisted co-dependency and mirrors the wreckage of their
lives ("You always
giggle falsely!"...."You wanna stick me with that fork?"...."I got a decent
dinner ready.  Nothing
happened with the dinner--because you CRUCIFIED it!"....and, of course,
"Shut up, little man!").
Newly repackaged with extensive liner notes, photos and comic illustrations,
$15.99

Hey, check THIS out!  Various, GREAT VOCALISTS OF JAZZ & ENTERTAINMENT--ULTRA-
budget import 40-CD set (!!!) of digitally remastered recordings by the
likes of Ella Fitzgerald,
Frank Sinatra, Mildred Bailey, Dinah Shore, Nat King Cole, Cab Calloway,
Anita O'Day, Ivie
Anderson, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Sara Vaughan, Judy Garland, Jo Stafford,
Peggy Lee,
Lena Horne, Louis Armstrong, the Andrew Sisters, etc.  Featuring, I believe,
one CD per artist,
this seems the perfect primer to the great American songsters and the great
American
songbook, $79.99


Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks, BEATIN' THE HEAT--The influential, brilliant
Hicks and his
legendary band are back, with tongue in cheek and toes tapping, for their
first studio album in 20
years, with guest appearances by Bette Midler, Rickie Lee Jones, Elvis
Costello, Tom Waits and
Brian Setzer, $16.99

Various Las Vegas Impersonators, TRIBUTE TO THE KING--Self-explanatory; 11
renderings by
faux Las Vegas Elvises, incl. Jailhouse Rock, Teddy Bear, Love Me Tender,
Falling in Love, Devil
in Disguise, Surrender, Good Luck Charm, $7.99

Various, ALL YOU NEED IS COVERS--Budget 2-CD import--50 tracks--of Beatles
covers by
Petula Clark, Max Bygraves, Shirley Abicair, P.P. Arnold, Sacha Distel,
Jackie Trent, and many
rare and obscure 60s singers and groups, $19.99

Various, YOU ARE AWFUL BUT WE LIKE YOU:  SHOWBIZ COMEDY TITBITS OF THE 60s &
70s--2-CD, 50-track (!) budget import of songs, both comic & serious, by
British performers (like
Oliver Reed, drag artist, Danny LaRue, Lionel Bart, John Cleese, Jim Dale,
Benny Hill), incl.
Rhubarb Tart Song; Two Lovely Black Eyes; Salute Me, I'm the Corporal; Hands
Off, Stop
Mucking About; Commercial Calypso; Here Come the Fuzz; Am I Just Another
Pretty Face; You
Are Awful But I Like You; and pop tunes like Tiptoe Through the Tulips; Baby
It's Cold Outside;
Get Me to the Church On Time; Georgy Girl; Don't Cry for Me Argentina; Sheik
of Araby, $19.99
