The general rule of thumb on Jackie Gleason albums that I follow
is, if it has "Brass" in the title it's good... If it doesn't
the chances are good that it is sleepy stuff with amazingly
lethargic tempos.

See ya

Sure looks like it, which makes sense because (if I read my Deutsch
correctly) it comes from a film called Morderspeil (oomlat over the o)
which sounds like it has something to do with murder or death!

Of course, she is smoking a cigarette, so maybe the hands are symbolic of
lung cancer, too (or they should be).

Actually, I had to join the group just to see the pictures and I am glad I
did join and see the pictures.  I didn't know you could browse through
other groups pictures if you weren't a member.  I never could, anyway.

I like the bathrooms LP.  Funny!

I thought I had a ways to go before I was finished finding cool US
covers...now I have to think about European covers as well. Oh, gosh.

Subject: (exotica) Prado and Hartman

What a happy coincidence.

Picked up a Perez Prado LP on Camden called ôMambo Happy!ö There is a vocal track with Johnny Hartman on it called ôWildö. This LP seems to be a mish-mash of various sessions. A record ôdesigned for dancingö with the other tracks featuring other vocalists or sax players.

Did Hartman and Prado record anything else?  DonÆt you just love it when you find out 2 artists you like have worked together?

A few months ago our friend in Taiwan was asking who might have been the female vocalist on his Prado comp and it was not Rosemary Clooney? This LP has a duet with Abel del Rivero and Cecilia Conzales. Maybe Conzales did a solo number with Prado?

Subject: (exotica) Favoriate Record of the Year So Far

I have been bouncing around singing the "Happy Happy, Joy Joy" song for the
last few days, having found my favorite album of the year after a little
net adventure.

Many months ago in the early days of eBay, I bid on a cheap album based on
one of the shortest write-ups I've ever seen:  "Gals & Pals, 1960s vocal
jazz group, sealed."  Luckily, no one else bid and it was in my hands a few
days later for $4.20 including postage.

The album was Gals and Pals, Fontana SRF 67538.  Gals and Pals turned out
to be a Swedish vocal jazz group, three men and three women, something
along the lines of the Double Six of Paris.  They covered a nice selection
of tunes, including "Bossa Nova U.S.A.," "Sould Dance," "Cast Your Fate to
the Wind," and "Dat Dere."  All in all, a very good deal.

Jump forward to last week.  I should mention that in the meantime I have
become a Bacharach fanatic, buying every all-Burt album I can find.  So I
occasionally go to eBay and browse for Bacharach listings.  I spot an entry
for another Gals and Pals album, "Something for Everyone, which turns out
to be an all-Bacharach album.  (An odd title for non-Burt fans).  Hoo-wee,
baby.  Starting price is 9.99 GBP, a bit stiff, but geez:  vocal jazz AND
Bacharach!  So I stake out this item and gleefully watch it for a week,
getting up at 4AM to make my last-minute strafing run.  I had just received
a $75 windfall, so I was ready to get serious.

I hit eBay.  Two other bids now, price up to 12.99 GBP.  No problem.  I can
top that.  I add 2.00 GBP.  Outbid.  Add 2.00 GBP.  Outbid.  Add 2.00 GBP.
Outbid.  Add 5.00 GBP.  Outbid.  Damn!  Add 10.00 GBP.  Outbid.  I keep
bidding, the clock ticking away.  Finally, I'm well past 75 pounds with no
end in sight.  I try a couple more times, but end up conceding that
"mahnahmahnah" from the UK has deeper pockets than I.

I am now deeply depressed.  What are the chances I will ever see this album
again?  I will only dream about its never-to-be-heard pleasures.  Then I
think to check the net.  After all, if I was willing to pay 75 pounds, I
ought to be able to find it somewhere.  No luck on Musicfile or Gemm.  No
luck doing an AltaVista search.  Finally, I try a combination of "Fontana"
and "Gals," and get a pile of stuff that includes a link to Nickleodeon
Records, a venerable store in San Diego.  They have a sealed copy for $10!!
I send an email.  I get an answer that evening.  I call.  I order.  Two
days later, it's in my hands.

And after all that, it does turn out to be a great album.  Two rare
Bacharach tunes--"Crosstown Bus" and "Close"--delicious harmonies, a gentle
swing, and a better-than-average selection of Bacharach tunes.  Even liner
notes by Burt himself, who'd heard them when he toured Scandanavia with
Marlene Dietrich.  Once again, the depths of the vinyl vaults proves to
still have undiscovered treasures.

Happy Happy, Joy Joy!

<< I have been bouncing around singing the "Happy Happy, Joy Joy" song for the

That's a cool story Brad.  I can certainly relate to the emotional highs and
lows that accompany the pursuit of a desired slab of vinyl.  For me, that's
what makes record collecting so much fun.

I am familiar with Gals and Pals.  I've never seen an original LP but do
recall seeing Dusty Groove selling a couple of their CD's a couple of years
ago.  Former Swedish listee Ingemar set me up with a Gals and Pals tape and
it was very nice, indeed.  I'm looking at the track list now and sure enough
there are a few Bacharach tunes on there along with I Left My Heart In San
Francisco and Blue on Blue.  The other side of the tape is another popular
Swedish vocalist, Monica Zetterlund.  Dusty was selling her CD at the same
time, no more tho..

Another group from Sweden and very similar in sound to Sergio Mendes and
Brazil 6* are The Gimmicks.  Again, I've never seen an actual LP from this
outfit, but thanks to Ingemar, I was able to snag a CD.  The Espresso
Espresso comp has a track or two from the Gimmicks.

Tell us what you got.
(I also love all-Bacharach records but I don't pursue it at ebay.)
Here are two great ones and I'd be willing to bet you don't have one of them.
(And you should.)
The Dells sing Dionne Warwick's Greatest Hits
(and you know who wrote them!)
Jury Krytiuk "Portrait of Burt Bacharach"
This is the one I expect you don't have.  Jury Krytiuk was involved in a
lot of records out of Winnipeg and Western Canada - mostly on small labels
like Cynda and Arc -  but it was mostly polka and bad country.  This is a
really sweet record.

Subject: (exotica) New Releases (a lot of Sun Ra)

Taken from Forced Exposure's New Releases list:
 http://www.forcedexposure.com.

_____________________________________________
EVIDENCE:

RA, SUN & HIS MYTH SCIENCE ARKESTRA: When Angels Speak
of Love CD (ECD 22216). "Evidence Music returns with a highly-
anticipated series of five CD packages, including a 2-CD box of
unreleased albums, by Sun Ra, the colorful jazz bandleader whose
association with interplanetary travel, ancient Egypt, and big band
and electronic keyboard innovation made him one of the 20th Century's
most influential and eccentric musical icons. Evidence has been working
on the series for four years -- since issuing its award-winning Sun Ra
compilation The Singles in 1996. All but Lanquidity emanate from Sun
Ra's own label, El Saturn Records. All packages contain extensive
liner notes, historical documentation and photographs. Easily one of
the oddest personalities in the history of jazz, the bandleader,
composer and keyboardist known as Sun Ra claimed to be an
extraterrestrial from the planet Saturn. Actually born Herman 'Sonny'
Blount in Birmingham, Alabama in 1914, he studied music at Alabama
A&M University and became a big-band leader in his home town.
Eventually, he moved to Chicago where he would write arrangements for
Fletcher Henderson, change his name to Le Sony'r Ra, and start his
first 'Arkestra' with saxophonists and band members-for-life John
Gilmore, Marshall Allen and Pat Patrick. In the mid and late '50s, he
prolifically recorded 45s and LPs for his own Saturn label, even
accompanying and writing arrangements for doo-wop groups. His
earliest albums were for Transition Records and later Delmark Records
in 1957. In 1961, he moved to New York where he continued to record
for El Saturn and the indie ESP-Disk label. Sun Ra continued his
extensive concert date schedule into the early '90s, and even got as
far as signing with A&M Records. He left this planet on May 30, 1993,
but his music remains an ongoing source of wonderment and inspiration
for all who discover it, as it was for musicians as diverse as George
Clinton, Sonic Youth and Phish. Thanks to Evidence Music's reissue
program -- five important new CDs in addition to 16 earlier reissues
- -- his most important music continues to become available for future
generations.This album, When Angels Speak of Love, originally
recorded in 1963 and released in 1966, is the rarest of Sun Ra's
self-released albums on his own El Saturn label. Only a handful of
the original pressing still remain. The album was recorded during Sun
Ra's New York residency. Considered by many to be his richest period.
This reissue preserves what has been a lost artifact from the 'New
Thing' revolution in jazz in New York City's Greenwich Village in the
mid-60s."  $14.00

RA, SUN & HIS ARKESTRA: The Great Lost Sun Ra Albums: Cymbals/
Crystal Spears 2CD (ECD 22217). "This 2-CD box is comprised of two
albums originally intended for release on ABC's Impulse Records but never
issued. After Impulse abruptly ended a licensing agreement with Sun
Ra's El Saturn label, the two unreleased album masters were boxed up
and returned to Saturn, where they languished in obscurity for the
next 27 years. Evidence has remixed the original four-track tapes
down to two-track stereo. Former Impulse Records head Ed Michel wrote
the notes, which chronicle the short, strange history of Sun Ra's
major label tenure."  $27.00

RA, SUN & HIS ASTRO INFINITY ARKESTRA: Pathways to Unknown
Worlds/Friendly Love CD (ECD 22218). "This package combines two LPs
on one CD. Pathways was originally released on vinyl in the mid-70s
at the very end of Sun Ra's relationship with Impulse and remained in
print for less than one year. Evidence has remixed the original four
track tapes and has added a track that was intended for the original
album but omitted for technical reasons that have now been corrected.
Like Cymbals and Crystal Spears, Friendly Love is an early 70s album
that is being released for the first time. Sun Ra biographer John
Szwed wrote the liner notes, and provides an in-depth glimpse into
Sun Ra's recording and Evidence's mastering techniques."  $14.00

RA, SUN & HIS ARKESTRA: Greatest Hits: Easy Listening for
Intergalactic Travel CD (ECD 22219). "Of course Sun Ra never had
'hits' per se. But for those wondering where to begin when buying
their first Sun Ra album, this is it! Greatest Hits contains tracks
from 15 different El Saturn Ra albums, one movie soundtrack and two
45 singles spanning the artist's peak period of 1956-73. These 'easy
to listen to' tracks have proven to be among the most popular with
Sun Ra fans, and demonstrate Ra's evolution and innovations during
this period. They were also selected for their musical
'accessibility', relatively speaking, of course."  $14.00

RA, SUN & HIS ARKESTRA: Lanquidity CD (ECD 22220). "Lanquidity
has become the most valuable of all Sun Ra albums, vinyl copies
presently fetching $400 or more despite the fact that it was originally
released in 1978. The album was originally on the 'micro-label'
Philly Jazz, owned by a Philadelphia recording engineer who knew Sun
Ra from his live performances on University of Pennsylvania's WXPN.
The album has become a much in demand rarity among the ranks of acid
jazz DJs throughout the world. Liner notes by Echoes' John Diliberto
focus on Sun Ra's years as a Philadelphia resident. For audiophiles,
Evidence has employed the HDCD software and A/D converter to bring
this rare recording to compact disc."  $14.00

Well, the cover says that it is the soundtrack to 'M=F6rderspiel', which

Subject: (exotica) Re: Deep Throat

Given the subject that first got the Lavalamp list moving I think I have to
give this new film we saw today a quick mention as it brings up a strange
observation on the state of the film industry...

Anyway, it seems the French are beating the Americans at their own game in
the movie business in more ways than one.  A short trailer before this film
we saw was something "presented" by Luc Besson, shot in Marseilles, in
French, and with easily more car chases, ammo releases, and car crashes
than any American action film I've ever seen!  We were getting dizzy just
watching the short!  So there you have the action film one-upped by the French.

Next the main feature. You may have read about this one but you will not
likely have seen it as it is presently banned in just about every place on
earth and that includes France, its country of origin.  The film is called
"Baise moi (no don't ask your French teacher what it means!). But imagine
this... A film made by two women, with more violence than any Tarantino
product and graphic sex to a level found in hard core porn (BTW, the two
lead actresses are former porn stars).  It picked up an "X" rating
worldwide which means it can play only in porn cinemas if at all.  A few
people would have seen it at the Toronto Film festival but it is safe to
say it will otherwise never play there again.  Of course here we are in
Quebec, next province over and the film rates an "18+" so it plays in
regular release!  Only place on the continent...  I think a few European
countries have allowed it but it surely will never see a release anywhere
in the US or UK.  It had English subtitles which was good as the film was
full of North African slang so even being fluent in French I could never
have understood most of it.  Oh yes... a good range of music from vintage
porn soundtrack to high energy hip hop. I'd like to say "coming to theatres
in you area soon" but not too likely somehow...

Subject: (exotica) Spaced Out

I picked up a copy of this on Studio 2, for 20p.  I don't think I've ever
seen an Enoch Light LP in a charity shop before, so I was delighted, it had
quite a scratch on one side,  but fair enough.  And then I got it home what
a great LP.

It totally ROCKED MY WORLD.  Great Now Sound LP,  I'd say almost more in
keeping with Studio 2 than the other Enoch Light LP's I have.  Not too much
in the way of ridiculous stereo,  just great arrangements of songs by
Beatles, Bach and Bacharach (I wonder when it came out in relation to Alan
Moorhouses 'Go Bossa' LP)  and you can't hear the scratch.

Now I thought the Studio 2 imprint was reserved for recordings made at EMI's
studio 2 in Abbey Rd, So did Enoch Light come over to record this?  It says
'Licensed from Project3' on the back of the LP.  And is it the Free Design
doing the vocal duties here?

Subject: (exotica) New records - Game of death, Morganized, Mirror conspiracy

Also out and about this weekend I bought some new records in a sale.

game of Death is OK, not one of John Barry's best.  Suffers a bit from
recurring Themeitis, the main theme is quite martial.  There is a nice track
of fighting effects and Bruce Lees Cat squeals at the end,  that would be
fun to sample and mess about with.

I don't know what I was thinking when I picked up the Morganized LP,  a
modern Hammond LP?  To quote the Leningrad Cowboys film,  what a load of
shite...  I don't really like to be rude about someones hard work,  but this
is terrible rock bollocks,  it reminds me of the second Faces LP,  short on
tunes and long on solo's.

And I don't know how it was I got Thievery Corps 'Mirror conspiracy' cheap
either,  I think it must have been a mistake.  But its a good LP.  Is there
an early 90's revival going on?  I've heard several things recently that
have put me in mind of the Original Rockers 'Speaking in Tongues' LP (from
93?  94? recommended anyway),  and this is another.  Nice dubby basslines,
some skanking,  some echo's and nice effects,  this visits Bossa'ish places,
which is nice,  and there are a couple of Sitar tracks I liked.

Subject: (exotica) Stuff

I'm working at home today, going through a whole pile of 1950s scandal
magazines (It's a paycheck, Jack), and came across a great piece in a 1957
issue of Inside Story:  "What you put on the cover is much more important
than the music! That's what big disk companies have discovered about . . .
The Sweet Sound of Sex-cess" .  Excerpt:

"The new trend toward sex-spiced album covers has come in for some sharp
criticism.  Variety, show business trade paper, recently warned in an
editorial that something has to be done about "mood" album covers.  The
independent labels were branded as the prime offenders."

"'Some of the mood poses,' Variety continued, "would indicate that the
prime purpose of these mood music album covers is to inspire a mood for
French postcards."

I emailed Brian Karasick separately to tell him that his report on
"Baise-Moi" (unfortunately translated as "Rape Me" for the English version)
set off the mood-watch feature of Eudora 5.0, which puts a certain number
of "hot red chiles" beside a message in the inbox, depending on the
frequency of certain words.  I'm sure I'll get a warning  about this one
before I send it off.

Will

i turned my 'moodwatch' off fairly rapidly ... i found it amusing for
a while - my inbox looked like an overstocked turkish greengrocers -
but then i noticed it checks your outgoing mail and warns you about
the offence you may be about to cause!?!?!

not exactly the features i'm looking for in a major upgrade, and not
exactly the kind of chillies i'm interested in either (sorry, i'm
grumpy after spending most of the morning convincing it not to crash,
eventually temporarily allocating it 130mb of system memory - look
out will!).

for some differently-styled exotic content, i think many people here
would get a kick out of the blue states album (sorry if people have
mentioned it already) ... reviewed here
http://motion.state51.co.uk/reviews/687.html, or check the site here
http://www.bluestates.com/ ... like a smoother bobby trafalgar, or
even this year's "moon safari" ...? very nicely crafted ...

cheers,
d.

Subject: (exotica) ...and I was nowhere near Brooklyn when this happened!

While going through the film archives in Peru, I was given access by the
government to view certain footage that had been heretofore unseen.  There
I was, in a secret government theater, that only....EEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeouch!

My good lady wife has...informed me that I should tell the truth about what
I did this weekend and to knock off the flowery language.  Have you ever
had an editor that pinches you?

Oh well, I was busy cataloguing our videotapes and I found something that I
forgot to tell the list about.  I came in early but not at the beginning of
"La Canciones Unidas" (The United Songs).  I very rarely watch the Spanish
language stations, but this looked like fun

The set is a reeeeally bad United Nations mock-up.  The delegates (this is
in Spanish and I don't speak Spanish) argue that their country has the best
music.  When one country had the floor, they made their pitch and that was
the cue to show a music clip.  Now you know the plot.  It was music and
old, so I started taping.

The one thing that I had failed to notice when I recorded was a clip of a
group of worshippers, bowing to a woman on a pyramid.  The voice was right
and sure enough it was Yma Sumac, in living color!  I had to list 30 tapes,
so I don't know the song she was singing, but I am certain it was her.  As
in "Secret of the Incas", her lip-synching is dreadful, however, the other
clips I saw showed the other singers were having just as hard of a time!

The rest of the film is rather nice, too, although I don't know any of the
other artists.  It's nice to go thrifting in one's own house!

Besson's "The Fifth Element" gave me serious dizzy spells. Nutty movie.

And I'm a little late for the Jackie Gleason "Oooo!" survey, but my copy is
middling condition in cover and vinyl.

Speaking of New York in the Fall, "Vinyl" will be playing in mid-October at
the CMJ film festival.  Check out the cmj website for time.

Subject: (exotica) Hawaii trip

Hey hipsters
I am planning a trip to Hawaii soon - can anyone recommend a cool place to
stay, preferably kitschy and reminiscent of the 50-60's? I thought by now
there would be some kinda retro guide to Hawaii online, but alas. nada. I
have been searching through the Exotica archive because I remember a topic
like this, but as recent posts have reflected, there's A LOT to wade
through! Any other island activity suggestions are welcome. Especially if
they involve lotsa mai tais.

You'd enjoy its companion LP Permissive Polyphonics (only released on
Project 3 though) - even more Moogy.

No, three Project 3 LPs were licensed by EMI: Spaced Out, Tony Mottola's
Guitar Factory and Brass Menagerie.  There was also a UK issue of
Persuasive Percussion but I can't recall what label that came out on.

> And is it the Free Design doing the vocal duties here?

Yes, and the vocals were arranged by Chris Dedrick.
