Vinyl record albums--wow!--they're back. Could it be for the swinging sounds and nightlife nostalgia? Mmmmaybe...but get a load of those covers. Barroom beauties, kittens in Capri pants, seductive sirens--enchantresses everywhere! Vixens of Vinyl: The Alluring Ladies of Vintage Album Covers is a dazzling tour of over a hundred beguiling album covers, designed to appeal to the bachelor audiophiles of the hi-fi era. Such retro luminaries as Martin Denny, Esquivel, Andre Kostelanetz, Perez Prado, and many more draped their record sleeves with women whose charms transcended the strictly musical. Even the decidedly less hip entertainers like Lawrence Welk found they could reach a wolfish new consumer base with a little satin and cleavage. Vixens of Vinyl is a head-turning musical gallery of femmes from a decidedly pre-feminist era. Sure, vinyl is hot again--but the covers are hotter. This item will be published in June 2001.

Get a load of the cover of the book, too -- Ferrante and Teicher, right?
What album is it? (All I remember is that it has an awesome version of "A
Walk in the Black Forest...")
The next time I go home I'm stealing my dad's copy of the album...
Later,
Ben

Subject: (exotica) Alessandroni / Morricone site updates
hello,
sorry for "spamming" so heavily these days...
http://www.mp3.com/alessandroni
the Alessandroni mp3.com page had some reworking in the last days... one
more streaming track ("Il Porto"), a link to buy the TRINITY GOES EAST cd
(at last!!) and a filmography/discography.
This part still lacks several titles, but I am trying to do my best with
the research (suggestions/corrections are always welcome :-))); also, I
should try to have this page reviewed by the Maestro in person in the next
weeks... hopefully during the month of march.
Also, 2-3 more tracks (from TRINITY GOES EAST) will be uploaded in the next
days.
http://www.enniomorricone.net
I know it looks crap and still lacks real content. A huge discography is
being prepared these days and it should be online sooner or later. Also,
the site will be divided into 3-4 pages soon (it is still a one-page site).
Links to most of the Emusic titles have been added, and also a link to the
GEMM page where LA SMAGLIATURA cd is available (same as for TRINITY).
from the same link (http://ecl3ctic.gemm.com) LO STRANO VIZIO DELLA SIGNORA
WARDH (by Nora Orlandi/Paolo Ormi) is now also available. A mp3.com page
with 2-3 free downloads should be up soon (I will post again to give more
info on this).
I got today a package from Hexacord and it also contains absurd cds from
EMI General Music/GDM Music with more Italian film music. There are also
some titles I didn't expect to see (Manuel De Sica's DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE,
for example...).
All of these will be also put on sale through the above mentioned GEMM page.
regards,
DjB

Guy Wood, Composer, Dies at 89
uy Wood, a songwriter whose works include "Till Then," "My One and Only Love" and "Shoo-Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy," died on Friday at his home in East Hampton, N.Y. He was 89.
Mr. Wood was born in Manchester, England, where he played saxophone in dance bands before moving to the United States in the early 1930's. After spending five years with the foreign-production divisions of the Paramount and Columbia Pictures studios, he led his own band at the Arcadia Ballroom in New York from 1939 to 1942.
Among his credits are "Music of Love" (a k a "The Bell Waltz"), "After All" and "Rock-a-Bye Baby," as well as musical material for Radio City Music Hall and the children's television show "Captain Kangaroo."
He is survived by his wife, Jane; two sons, David of Deerfield Beach, Fla., and Peter of Mt. Kisco, N.Y.; a daughter, Sarah of Oakland, Calif.; and a grandchild.
Wood co-autored one of the most enduring jazz standards of all times, "My One and Only Love". A partial list of artists covering this tune; Chet Baker, John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Art Tatum, Frank Sinatra, Wes Montgomery, Sonny Rollins, Pharoh Sanders, Stan Getz, Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Kenton, Ahmad Jamal.... Well , you get the idea. Modern artsits from Rickie Le Jones to Joshua Redman have also had a turn at the song. Wood also co authored the Mills Brothers classic "Till Then" as well as Clarence Frogman Henry's hit "I Love You, Yes I Do".
