Subject: (exotica) George Duning - pre-spaghetti western music
I was doing some research on songs by the fantastic '60's Spanish instrumental rock group, Los Relampagos, and discovered the roots of one of their instro arrangements came from a George Duning tune, "3:10 to Yuma" from the 1957 western of the same title - some of Los Relampagos' mid to late 60's music has a bit of a spaghetti western flavor to it, but apparently they were influenced by sound tracks that pre-dated Ennio Morricone's - Los Relampagos' version came out around 1963
The George Duning tune is haunting and infectious - anyone familiar with other works by Duning around this period?

The World of Susie Wong is one of my Treasured 'Tracks. A couple of the tunes
appeared on one of the four cool & strange music comps that Rhino put out
when the fad peaked in mid '97. I found the stereo mint soundtrack in a
thrifty...It was and was a good "score"..Highly recommended Duning work...JB

the only christmas cd i have and i highly reccomend it is "have a
holly jolly christmas" by burl ives. includes "santa claus is coming to
town", "rudolph the rednosed reindeer", "silver bells" but sadly no "silver
and gold"( from the rudolph special). was that ever released on cd anywhere?
i think this will be the year i stock up on more christmas music myself, but
it'll depend on what surfaces in the shops here.

Baldly off-topic, but I know there are some bubblegum fans on the list.
Here's a content-filled website devoted to classic bubblegum pop:

Subject: (exotica) Re: 101 strings
>Johan. Tell us about "Sounds of Today" another 101 strings?
* 101 Strings: "Sounds of today"
LP, Alshire stereo 5078, USA
maybe not as far-out as "Astro sounds", but still great, my
second-best 101 Strings selection! lots of sitar, and even the tracks
without sitar are good, that is, if you like the "classic rock"
series of the London Symphony. All scores arranged by Monty Kelly,
and the tracks he wrote are amongst the grooviest on this LP. With:
Ode to Billie Joe; I'm a man; Karma sitar (M.Kelly); California
dreamin'; Stone baroque (M.Kelly); San Francisco; A whiter shade of
pale; Blues for the guru (M.Kelly); Never my love; Strings for Ravi
(M.Kelly).
* 101 Strings: "Play The Blues, In Tribute To W.C. Handy"
LP, Somerset SF-5800
It may sound impossible, but if you listen to this record
several times, you'll discover that there really is BLUES burried
beneath those strings!
* 101 Strings: "Plus Dynamic Percussion (an experience in sound)"
LP, Alshire S-5145 "in visual stereo"
A lot better than "Back Beat Symphony", this one tries to
imitate a one of those typical wacky Space Age stereo percussion
records. Has very versions of "Caravan" (with a big band added) and
"Flight of the bumble bee". Also one track with ZOUNDS: "old soft
shoe" is stolen from one of the tracks from Jack Fascinato's "Music
From A Surplus Store": with shoes sliding through sand on a floor.
Other tracks are not as good, but still better than the usual 101
Strings crap.
* 101 Strings: "Back Beat Symphony"
LP, Somerset SF-11500
They try to give classical music hits a modern treatment,
with a guitar, drum, bass or trumpet track layed over. Altough the
back says "pure rock and roll", this is not true, it is crap, except
maybe for "Swingin' at Igors" (Borodin) and "Romeo and Juliet"
(Tchaikovsky) that are so silly with their "wawawawa" chorus and
"klingklingklingkling" piano.
* 101 Strings play Edmund De Luca: "African Safari (The activity and
excitement of an actual big game hunt!)"
LP, Alshire S-5171 stereo
rare (??) so-called "safari exotica" LP. It's rather tame and
conservative, not really as exciting as the title would like you to
believe. It sounds very much like a typical big Hollywood epic, with
a FEW exotic touches: Afro-drum backing on a couple of tracks, and a
very un-African, polished chanting choir. The "Kill" track ends with
a "gun shot" that sounds more like a toy guns at a fair. All in all
not bad, but not really Baxter either. This has the same selections
as "Safari" by Edmund De Luca and the The Trans-World Symphony
Orchestra conducted by Heinrich Alster, on Valiant stereo V-4931, but
in different, slightly less dynamic arrangements. The B-side is
"Polovtsian dances from Prince Igor" by Borodin, and "Ritual fire
dance" by Manuel de Falla.
* "Play Jimi Hendrix":
no i don't have it, but yes i might have it ;-)
Jack Diamond (i THINK it was him) once said about it:
"is the Animated Egg LP in its entirety with different titles"...
Johan

Spinning on Air devoted a show, on March 3, 2000, to Duning.
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.
