I think they were around 12 bucks each.  (Canadian)

On a completely different off-topic note, I got a call yesterday about a
possible appearance on.... (exotic drum roll..........)
The Jenny Jones show.
They said that Jenny is suddenly really into documentary films but I think
I've got a secret admirer.  (Homosexual of course.)
I'll let you know if it actually happens.

Oh Colleen, I had the exact same experience.
But now that's my favorite music in the world.
I assume that the music was probably made by the same person who wrote the
other music for the show.
And that's what made the music so interesting although that's only true in
retrospect, I agree.  At the time I had the same reaction as you.
For instance, Frank DeVol (also known as Happy Kyne) wrote the music for
such shows as My Three Sons but also made quasi-groovy music when required.
 The best example of that is his soundtrack to "Guess Who's Coming to
Dinner" which is basically orchestral and kind of sappy. But there is one
"groovy" cut called, as it happens, "Groovy Delivery Boy".
To the degree I have any kind of focus in my record accumulating, it is now
on the very kind of music that we're talking about here.  Fake rock music
by guys who shouldn't have been trying to make rock music but actually did
a nice job of it, in retrospect.

 Although, I do remember a couple of episodes
>of Dick Van Dyke where Chad and Jeremy...or was it Peter and Gordon,

Chad and Jeremy I think.

Which is kind of ironic since at the time, I thought Chad and Jeremy were a
pale version of Peter and Gordon but as it turns out, they were much much
more interesting.

If you're implying what I think you're implying, she wasn't my type.
The thing is... I'm always happy when I see people in used record stores
actually digging through the stuff and making somewhat more interesting,
offbeat choices.  At that same store, I was standing next to some kid who
kept pulling out records I actually had.  Enoch Light, Ramsey Lewis, Mancini.
This woman did not look like a musical adventurer but still, you get so
tired of hearing those women ask for the same thing - Macy Gray, Nelly
Furtado, whatever was on Saturday Night Live last week - that it's
disarming and refreshing to see them holding two classic old records.  It's
even refreshing that they're holding vinyl and not CD's.
I don't know if she wanted "cheese" or "cheese".
I think cheese can be a good thing.  In fact, when I asked the clerk about
the sealed record I was interested in, I told him that this was the kind of
thing that needed a bit of cheese to make it work.  It was a sixties
instrumental record by a black group.  I don't want to go into a big
treatise but I find the more black records from this period to be often a
bit too "turgid".  Well played but soul-less.  No fun.  They need to be a
little "greasy".  Which is like the black form of cheesy.
Anyway I'm not sure that the woman wanted a record to laugh at.  Something
to make fun of.  She was obviously having a dinner party and she wanted to
surprise everyone with the right kind of music.
She wasn't my type but maybe she'd like some of my records.

I'm pretty much enjoying this soundtrack lp.
I see there are 4 sung tracks on it: the title track (by Ray
Charles), "Bowlegged Dolly" (by Glenn Campbell), "It Sure Is Groovy"
and "Foul Owl".
Is anyone familiar with this Lp, or actually has it, and can say
who's singing on the last 2 mentioned tracks?
Thanks for your help.

Speaking of which, this Friday, Bravo (in Canada, at least) is running
"Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" - it should be worth watching to catch this
piece!  (it's on after "Sex & The City")

Subject: (exotica) more 60s dance music -Shanty Tramp

Has anyone seen the film "Shanty Tramp"? Directed by Joseph G. Prieto
1966. Its a lowbudget sleazy drive-in picture. There are some
songs/tracks in it that sound so unique and lively, I have it on tape
but not here so I cant remember the artists name. A real pretty beat
that sets the movie on fire for a while. The young delinquents comments
during the music is great, cmon lets dance!
Maybe the sound of a local scene in the south of USA at that time? I
for one has not heard anything quite like it before.
An exotica track or two is featured in the film too.

I could recommend this film for the unique beat, but if you are a
sensitive soul you better stay away, because it is very dark and
gruesome.

Cant find any info on the performers at IMDB

I love that stuff. Like in "The Producers" when they hire the bikini

The closest I have found to it is on the Beat at Cinecitta collection,
which is similar sounding but more interesting. Never have seen an
American comp of old go-go stuff.

Eclectic musician Sandy Bull mixed cultures
The Nashville resident died yesterday.
By PETER COOPER
Staff Writer, Nashville Tennessean

Genre-melding musical visionary Sandy Bull, whose integration of eclectic
sounds and styles delighted fans such as Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Joan Baez
and Steve Winwood, died in Nashville yesterday after a long illness. He was 60
years old and considered a master of stringed instruments exotic (the sarod,
the oud) and familiar (the banjo, the acoustic guitar).

''Only Sandy Bull would play an oud through a phase shifter or perform on the
Indian sarod a soul ballad composed by the Isley Brothers,'' asserted one New
York Times reviewer after a Bull show at Carnegie Recital Hall. Musician,
painter and Folk Boom-era compadre Bob Neuwirth said yesterday that ''Sandy
crossed all the barriers. He was one of the first advocates of what they now
call world music.''

Mr. Bull's first two Vanguard Records albums, 1963's Fantasias for Guitar and
Banjo and 1964's Inventions for Guitar and Banjo, made him a guru to scores of
broad-minded musicians.

''When I was in high school in Long Beach, Calif., all my finger-picking,
wannabe folkie buddies would listen to his early Vanguard records nonstop,''
said Jeff Hanna, a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band member who called Mr. Bull a
''legendary multi-instrumentalist'' and ''a seminal influence on the Dirt
Band.''

By 1970, however, Mr. Bull had disappeared from the spotlight. That year,
Rolling Stone magazine ran a profile on Mr. Bull titled ''Hey, I Thought You
Were Dead.'' He ultimately re-emerged and released a series of albums that
concluded with 1996's Steel Tears. He spent the final decade of his life as a
Middle Tennessee resident.

Yesterday, friends told stories of Mr. Bull's musical exploits and remarkable
life. Kevin Welch, a Nashville musician who utilized Mr. Bull's sarod solo on
his 1998 album, Beneath My Wheels, spent 10 minutes talking about Mr. Bull and
ended up describing scenes that name-checked Mr. Bull's connections with
friends that included flamboyant Latin jazz man Tito Puente, outrageous country
songwriter/mystery novelist Kinky Friedman and gonzo journalist Hunter S.
Thompson.

Neuwirth detailed Mr. Bull's first meeting with Bob Dylan (in the early 1960s
at the Indian Neck Folk Festival), and he remembered that Mr. Bull was
interested enough in traditional American music to take banjo lessons as a
teen-ager yet musically malleable enough to saw new fret positions on a Martin
guitar neck to better emulate the quarter-tone melodies of Indian sitar player
Ravi Shankar. Nashville guitarist Gary Nicholson noted that Mr. Bull's admirers
ranged in musical sensibility from country players and folkies to
rockabilly/swing revivalist Brian Setzer.

''He was a genius,'' Setzer said. ''He turned me on to a lot of instruments I'd
never heard of before, and he incorporated that into organic-sounding music.''

Said Welch, ''He loved the good things in life, and he made a wonderful life
for himself. He was quietly but profoundly influential.''

Mr. Bull is survived by his wife, Candy, his daughter, K.C., and his two sons,
Jesse and Jackson.

No public memorial service is planned. The family requests that donations be
made in lieu of flowers. Donations may be sent to the Alexander Sandy Bull Fund
For Neurosurgery, c/o Anderson Cancer Center at P.O. Box 297153, Houston, TX
77297. Those sending donations will wish to quote account number 8-0011804.

and speaking of the producers, is there a soundtrack of that one
available?  it would be worth it just to be able to listen to
"springtime for hitler" whenever i wanted to, not to mention being
able to learn all the words to the song that dick shawn sings for his
"audition"

actually, there is a theater company in milwaukee named bialystock
and blum and i have, since they first formed, wanted to do an
audition for them that was, dick shawn's audition from that movie - -
i am fairly certain that the vast majority of their subscribers don't
even know why the theatre company is named such, but to go in and do
that as an audition would probably be a little too much.  besides, i
am not an actor and i get terrible stage fright. (like the vomiting
and hive producing kind)

Even without the piece, it is well worth watching.  Spencer Tracy, Katherine
Hepburn, Sidney Poitier, wonderful location shots of San Francisco and for
1967, a pretty daring story.  A girl (Joey) falls in love with a black
Doctor and brings him home to meet her very wealthy (and very white, of
course) parents.

I've always assumed everybody on this list has seen classic films from this
period many times over.  Midnight Cowboy, In Cold Blood, Bonnie and Clyde,
To Sir With Love, you have, haven't you??

And there is one more pretty groovy number on that soundtrack, called "Drive
In".  Not quite as good as the killer sitar track mentioned, but still good.

I wish I could say I have the technical know-how to cripple the world's
computer systems in such a diabolical fashion, but it must just be some

Now I really feel like I've missed out on something.  The closest I came to
seeing this kind of thing (our TV drew its signal from an antenna--in hilly
eastern Kentucky no less, and now that I'm an adult I'm relying on rabbit
ears) was one of those classic after-school specials called "Death of
Richie," about a kid who wastes his life on drugs and ends up shot to death
by his hyper-masculine father who can't cope.  There were scenes of the
wayward youth in the "den" that he built behind his closet with the black
light on and a psychedelic guitar solo accompanying his descent into
barbituate bliss.  It took me a few years to figure out why my brothers
laughed so hysterically at this tragic tale.  "Reds" were Richie's drug of
choice.

Between 1966 and 1983, the East German state movie production company=20
DEFA produced 12 "Indianerfilme" ("Indian movies"). The common theme is=20
the life, culture and struggle of Native Americans during the 18th and=20
19th century, and the general history of the United States during that=20
period of time. Some of the movies are based on figures in Native=20
American history ("Tecumseh", "Osceola"), and one of them is based on=20
Cooper=92s "The Last Of The Mohicans".

East German "Indian movies" are adventure movies, with "good" and "bad"=20
guys, heroes and villains. The movies generally portray Native=20
Americans as proud, spiritual and cultured heroes, and white Americans=20
as greedy, power-hungry and insidious invaders. But they also feature=20
Native American traitors, half-castes, as well as honest and=20
sympathetic white Americans.

Most of the movies were filmed in the mountains of former Yugoslavia,=20
some in Romania, Cuba, Mongolia, and in the former Soviet Union. All of=20
them are 35mm and in color. The leading actor in all of the 12 movies=20
is Gojko Mitic, a Yugoslavian native. Because of these movies, he=20
became an East German superstar. Every summer, the=20
annual "Sommerfilmtage" (outdoor movie festivals all over East Germany)=20
were opened with a new "Indian movie".

The movies had an immense impact on how East Germans perceived Native=20
Americans. Several generations grew up with these images. This=20
contributed to the fact that when East German children played "Cowboys=20
and Indians", nobody wanted to be a "bad cowboy". Everybody wanted to=20
be the "good Indian". Mothers even named their children after the=20
leading actor. And the daughter of the actor who usually played=20
the "bad guy" had a hard time with her classmates, since her=20

The first movie in the series was produced four years after the Berlin=20

music from the 60s Dr Mabuse films:

Kriminalfilmmusik Vol. 4 (Edgar Wallace & Dr. Mabuse)
Various
Label: Bsc Music (ZOMBA)

i should have mentioned that the color episodes of "dragnet"
frequently had radios playing that groovy kind of music that would
work los angeles' drug crazed youth into a orgiastic frenzy. - -
there, too, were plenty of episodes of "way too many reds"  one of my
favorite "after school specials" had a very young helen hunt in a
story about 'ludes, and that demon angel dust (pcp) produced in a
high school chem lab that caused poor helen to run out of the second
or third story window (a la dianne linkletter) just seconds after
smoking  it.

one of the most amazing things about these types of films, coupled
with the ones that the police man would show you in your health class
unit on drugs is that i found that after seeing these films,
especially when i was really young (say 9 or 10)  i wanted to try
drugs more than i was put off of drugs.  i think that it may have had
something to do with the fact that the over thirty set was telling me
that this was bad so, in my own rebellious way, i figured that it had
to be good.  and there was the fact that in these types of films, the
drugs removed the user from "reality" in such a profound way.  i saw
LSD trips portrayed as these horrific scary cartoon times for the
user, coupled with the threat of a "flashback"  and said to myself
"that is definitely for me"  further, there is the absolutely
ridiculous portrayal of drugs and users.  during the reagan
administration, they used to say that marijuana was "10 to 20 times
stronger that it was even 10 years ago"  i just can not believe that
based on the effect that smoking a joint has on the piano player in
"reefer madness" - - at least not the marijuana i could get during
the reagan administration, never once did i smoke half a joint and
think that killing and raping  were good ideas, nor did i ever see
any one get the kind of crazed look on their face that the piano
player got from smoking a little bit behind the door.
okay, enough, i could go on about this all day,
robert

I cant be the only one who have had deep religious experiences with
marijuana, I wouldnt like to live without those experiences, it has
given my life a meaning, when I am happy I'm spreading that on the
world in love missiles. Love is the greatest weapon you can have.
I think there are so many depressed people who could get help from
marijuana. Just to find their childhood laughter again. If their
childhood included laughter that is, not all were as fortunate as me.

While we're talking about mysterious organists, does anyone have any idea
who played organ on Sammy Kaye's 60s LPs?  These are the ones arranged by
Charles Albertine.  Whoever it is, he/she single-handedly takes the band to
another level, with some smoking solos and an overall terrific smoky,
rockin' style.

Cant help you Brad, but you made me interested in Sammy Kaye, I loved
his films when I was little. I recently bought "Sounds in the night" by
Big Sam Marowitz, arr by Charles Albertine, and I like it alot.
When looking at your excellent site spaceagepop.com I see a Albertine
arranged Sammy Kaye album that naturally caught my interest: Swing and
Sway in Hawaii, Decca DL-74862, do you have that one? Are there any
other Sammy Kaye album you can recommend especially?

Magnus

I've been wanting to ask this question for a long time.  I bought one Sammy
Kaye album and swore I'd never have another.  That saxophone chorus just
does not do it for me.  Billy Vaughn's in the same category (although I
kinda like the "Pearly Shells" album).  But maybe Sammy too has a few gems
that are worth finding?

I've tried him three times but always more or less hated the records.

Well, summertime is just around the corner so I'll recommend this cool =
"patio music."

Was listening to Killer Surf: Best of the Challengers last night while =
working out - it's great!!  Not only do you get that vintage surf sound, =
you also get GREAT covers of pop standards like A Taste of Honey, The Work =
Song, and The Lonely Bull.

Lots of instrumentation on these tracks, and the "standard" surf tunes =
like Kami-Kazi (usually introduced to the pounding 1-2 1-2 beat on a tom =
to mimic the pom pom guns on a Naval ship) are ingeniously turned and =
twisted into almost totally new creations at certain points throughout the =
song.

Check it out.

One last comment though.. Mute was very much a cutting edge label when it
began and it shared a similar sense of humour that existed at that time in
music. It's this last trait that I find lacking today, and in this sense I
find labels like A-Musik, Monika, Gagarin, etc. following a lot more in the
this tradition.  I have to say that other than Holger Hiller, who I've
followed from the days he was on AtaTak,  I can't rememebr the last thing
I've bought on the label by a new act. The early releases by Kreidler & To
Rococo Rot are some of my favourites but I don't see them as Mute related...
were they? I listened to Goldfarab and its good, but to me Portishead has
perfected this sound so well its tough to make a fair comparison. AddN to
(X) were around a long time ago, I remember them from the new wave days if
it is indeed the same group? Depeche Mode.... well I lost interest there
even before the new wave ended! Anyway Mute has certainly earned respect
over the tears but to me anyway, it isn't the same kind of label it once
was.

(from the sleeve)
It Sure Is Groovy - vocal by Gil Bernal
Foul Owl - vocal by Boomer and Travis (what a fantastic track!)

It's on an MGM cd with 'They Call Me Mister Tibbs', and both are
available separately on vinyl.
