Subject: RE:(exotica) The Sandpipers "Guantanamera

I have 4 or maybe 5 of their LP's, and as Alan says the songs  come as latin
tinged or not but apart from that they are mostly the same.  Why waste a
good formula?  Nearly every LP by them worth having has Guantanamera on it.
I have one LP I don't really care for by them, and that has covers of Tin
Pan Alley type songs,  the only track I can remember from it is 'Inch Worm',
I think its from the 70's.   Apart from that I love 'em all.

They do a good version of 'The things we said today' and 'The Sea (la Mer)',
and a good if slightly clunky 'Fly me to the moon'.  And I love their
version of Louie Louie especially the Spanish Section in the middle.

It has been quiet recently with Mo away, Magnus working and Alan in quiet
mode.  I try but i can't sustain a lengthy post.  Too much TV rotting my
brain,  I suppose.

From: "m.ace" <[e-mail]>
They definitely worked from a formula here. And when applied to "Louie,
Louie" it makes for the strangest "Louie, Louie" I've run across, complete
with the bassline from the second part of "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"!

I can't really pull out any other tracks for special comment, as they all
tend to flow together. In a pleasant way. Soothing soft pop for nights when
life has left you frazzled.

For those who have heard more Sandpipers... did they maintain this formula
exactly on later albums, or did they develop some other moves? It's very
effective for one album, but I can see it becoming tedious if they stuck
with it record after record.

Yes, likely it's some sort of karmic retribution,
perhaps for all the fires I set as a child. In any
event, I have had a nice run over the past 5 years or
so. I will try not to gripe or think badly of them for
this obviously well thought out grudge screw they've
pulled on me.

Hey, Ronnie,  is it just the sun coming out that makes you post these
things?  A little bit of warmth and a hot-headed rush?

I gotta say I disagree completely, and with Mo about the Sandpipers being
humourless, That spoken bit in the middle of Guantanamera cracks me up every
time I hear it.

But there is something there.  A&M started out as a label with a vision,
sophisticated pop, whatever,  and then by what 1974 it was just another
corporate label (I mean, Rick Wakeman, for gods sake).  What happened,  did
Alpert get bored and sell up?  The offer of the dollar too much?

but this was no better than Kai Warner et al, so I for one can at least
understand why someone would hate The Sandpipers, wishy washy, spineless
pap.

It fulfils the worst criteria of indolent, passionless, "ear candy", and not
particularly good "ear candy", that i can imagine.

Hope this hasn't trodden on too many toes.

Subject: (exotica) recent finds

The recent SA thread worries me, but it ain't over yet judging by what I
found over the weekend. But of course the F&T and the Harry Breuer were at
an actual record store...

Harry Breuer, Mallet Mischief, Vol. 2
Yeah, the famous cover. The tunes are light-hearted and lots of fun. I
also have Mallet magic which is just as good, but with a more abstract
cover design with pictures of the mallets and things.

Ray Conniff, Happiness Is
I'm enjoying Ray's output more and more, and almost any SA or junk store
has a vast trove of his stuff. This is a fun record and the
title song is hilarious, with references to the Beatles and beatnicks.

Ferrante & Teicher, Soundproof
The stereo version. Dynamite stuff and that flying saucer cover is a
beautiful thing. Saw a copy of the mono version right next to it, but at
$25 bucks it was out of my range.

Enoch Light, My Musical Coloring Book
Another nice record from dependable ol' Enoch. Not that I need any more of
his stuff. I think I already own at least 30 Command/Enoch Light
disks. But still, the music is good.

I also found some kind of Chevrolet promotional film score from 1974. It
is a great record, with music that runs the gamut from ultra heavy funk to
mellow vocals to almost annoying bombastic orchestra stuff. An Odd
collection, to say the least, but I'm very glad I found it.

Is this one of those cases, like Martin Denny's first Exotica album, in
which the mono version is more valuable than the stereo?  Is it, like
Exotica I, a case of two different albums recorded at different times?
Forgive my ignorance if this is already well known, but this is the first
I've heard of it with Soundproof.  The two "prepared piano" albums I have
are pretty tripped out, and my wife can barely stomach them, but I think
they're great--one's something like "Percussion Piano" and the other is
"Heavenly Sounds."  As far as the exotica touch goes, though, I'm still
partial to their soundtrack to Cleopatra.

I actually don't know, except from what I saw at the spaceage pop website,
which says the track listings are different. Judging from the vast price
difference between the two, I guess the mono one is much more rare.

Subject: (exotica) Bozo Ends Its 40 Year Run

For those who might not be aware of it, the local WGN Bozo
Show has been on the air for forty years. It's the second
longest running show on TV. On July 14th, they'll be airing
the very last episode, which is going to be a prime time
special. Those of you with access to WGN, make sure to set
your VCR timers. WGN has done a ton of research on the
history of "the world's most famous clown" and has created
a website worthy of him. There are sound and movie clips,
and photos going all the way back to when Bozo was known as
"the Capitol Clown". The URL is...

http://www.wgntv.com/station/bozotime/

I had the pleasure of meeting Vance Colvig, the son of the
original Capitol Bozo and a Bozo himself on LA's KTLA from
1959 to the early 60s. Vance was quite a character. If you
saw the movie Barfly, Vance was the guy who had the DT
trembles and worked the rig with his necktie to get the
glass up to his lips without shaking all the juice out.

I asked him what his favorite Bozo related story was, and
he told me this tale. I have no reason to doubt its truth.
But it's definitely a whopper... I'll try to tell it as
I remember Vance telling it. He had a kind of a drawl, like
Walace Beery (He did the voice of Chopper on Yakky Doodle,
so that should give you an idea of how he talked...)



Back when Vance was playing Bozo on KTLA, he didn't get paid
a whole heck of a lot, so he would do personal appearances
on the weekends to make extra money... supermarket openings,
record stores, toy stores, etc. He'd do a bunch of them on
a single day. He said that on weekends the highway was thick
with kids' shows hosts running back and forth to get to all
of these events. He'd be driving along and Sheriff John would
wave to him passing on one side, and Engineer Bill would be
on the other side waving and going the opposite direction.
All of the kids' show hosts knew each other...

One day he gets a phone call from Engineer Bill Stulla who
said, "I hear you are scheduled for the suchandsuch
supermarket opening next week..." Vance replied, "Yeah...
what about it?". Bill told him, "Whatever you do, DON'T go
to that thing! I did my show there last week and it was
a huge mess!" Vance asked, "What happened?"

Engineer Bill told him, "They had me scheduled to do my
show at noon. The flyer advertising the date said that
after my show, Santa Claus would be arriving by helicopter.
Well, I finished my show and went around the back of the
stage and sat down. And sure enough, a few minutes later,
a helicopter started hovering up above."

"I looked up and the door was open and there were two
elves and Santa Claus peeking out. All of the kids were
running around the parking lot excited. All of a sudden
the elves take ahold of Santa by the seat of his pants,
and throw him out of the door!!! He falls fifty feet and
hits the asphalt in a heap! All the kids started crying
and hollering, and it turns out it's just a dummy Santa.
Two more guys dressed as elves ran out of the market with
a stretcher... They scooped Santa onto it and ran inside."

"When I saw that, I didn't want to have any part of it,
so I packed up my gear and left." Vance thanked Stulla
for tipping him off. He thought about it a minute and
decided to call the manager of the supermarket that
booked him to see if it was true. He got the guy on the
horn and he said, "Say there, I hear you've got Santa Claus
set to arrive at the end of my show." The manager said
yes and Vance said, "Welll... Bill Stulla tells me you
plan to chuck him out of a helicopter!"

The manager laughed and replied, "You heard about that?
Yeah! It's a great stunt! We should get a lot of press
out of it!" Vance said, "Well you can get your press
without me. I quit." The manager got furious and said,
"We have a contract! I've done advertising! The kids
are expecting Bozo! If you don't show up, I'll sue your
ass!"

Vance calmly replied, "You just try and find one court
in this land that will rule against Bozo the Clown in
favor of an idiot who flings Santa Claus out of a
helicopter!" and hung up on him. He skipped the date
and never heard another thing about it after that.

That's the story... If you happen to think of it, have
a drink in honor of old Bozo and Vance... and Bob Bell,
and Pinto Colvig, and all of the other Bozo's over the
years. It's sad that Steven King has forever banished
clowns to horror movies. They were a big part of my
childhood, and I can't imagine a childhood without them.

See ya
Steve

That's it. One more word against the Sandpipers & I'm gonna kick somebody's
ass.

Me, I have none of their records, but I remember seeing them on tv when I
was young, wandering around a beach or something & lip-synching "Come
Saturday Morning." I liked the song & have retained a soft spot, perhaps in
my head, for it. Maybe I'll seek it out on record now. And didn't they sing
a song in "Valley of the Dolls?" Perhaps the song "Valley of the Dolls?" Or
am I thinking of "Beneath the Valley of the Dolls?"

Next up, corporate swill; I've said this before... but I think judging the
supposed intentions of an artist tends to lead to some iffy conclusions...
there is much well-intentioned crap out there, and fine work has been
created by those attempting to make a buck & score a hit. I love the Monkees
too, no less the pre-liberated tools of Don Kirshner, Inc; hey, the
singing's good, writing's good & playing's good... what's not to love?

Lastly on the soft/hard, macho/wimp front, please recall that one of the
sweetest falsettos in R&B belongs to Aaron Neville, who also possesses the
one of it's longest criminal records. So do not count Alan out as a
potentially violent, swaggering, macho kinda guy purely on the evidence of
his listening habits.

It may be a question of scale.

A couple of weeks ago, I assembled a sort of "punishment" compilation for
someone... nothing but the most schmaltzy, syrupy, snoozy, oozy easy
listening tracks I could scrape together (in the wake of his string album
research project, Brad knows this territory).

After a tapioca immersion like that, The Sandpipers sound downright wild.

To each his own.  I'm not going to make my stand with the Sandpipers.
They're not the Free Design.  There's less going on.  But unlike Moritz for
instance, I don't need a dash of humor or irony to enjoy soft or even
"plain" things.  If I like the tune and the "artist" does it well, I
usually like it.  I suppose that there could be arrangements that would
just be a bit too subtle or non-existent for my taste.  I find Ken
Griffin's "just play the tune" style kind of flat and uninspiring (though
sometimes it's so bad it's almost good).  And if no one here is spying for
the Beautful Instrumental mailing list, I'll admit that I find most James
Last renditions to be just like that.  Nothing going on.  "Yeah I like the
tune but can't you do something with it"?
But I think the Sandpipers actually had a style.  They made some choices.
Some thought went into "the Sandpiper Sound".  They were very consistent in
both the sound of their records and their choice of material.
It's interesting that more than one person said essentially "I like the
Free Design but I can't go as low as the Sandpipers".
It's interesting that it's the Free Design that draws the comparison.
It's true the Sandpipers don't have that kind of harmony going on.  And if
the Free Design is as far as you can go when it comes to soft stuff, I'm
happy you can go that far.  I think the Free Design are amazing and it
would be a (minor) shame if their "softness" prevented you from
appreciating them.
There is a "prejudice" against soft music and I too have used the term "too
soft" on occasion to describe something I don't like, though I usually
apply it to films or books.
But I have gotten over my prejudice to soft things in music.  I think Andy
Williams for instance, had a beautiful voice.
And I like his ex-wife's records too.  Even when they're not particularly
funny.
I had two or three Sandpiper records but I never really played them because
I assumed the Sandpipers were too boring for me.  Then someone played me a
nice tune from a record I owned and I went home and played them.  Sometimes
it's good to let down your critical guard.  I had judged them more harshly
when I owned the record than when I heard them floating in the background
at my friend's record store.
I heard them and I said "This is nice".
Nice.  Sometimes I like nice.
I took my Sandpipers records, put my favorite cuts on a CDR and it made a
very enjoyable half hour or so.
And now I find myself defending them.  They're okay.

PS I noticed the compliment Ronnie.  Thanks I guess.

i remember when they finished the show, everyone left without clapping for
an encore.

i did it out of feeling bad for them since i really do not like them that much.
she asked me why they all left, clearly upset they were not brought back on.
i just said, You know old folks, maybe they just don't understand the

or they were just too tired to keep clapping.

"The late 80's, the period at the dawn of the Japanese domestic dance/club music scene, Tokyo native Yukihiro Fukutomi started his career as a DJ at clubs like Gold, Zoo and Cave in Tokyo.
At the same time he started working as a composer, arranger, programmer and producer. Fukutomi was also involved with the programming for Pizzacato 5.
After presenting his first solo project, a compilation track titled "Tokyo DJs Only", he received
recognition as a pioneer and creator innovator of house and dance music. As one of only a few artists who is able to handle producing, arranging, composing, programming and remixing in the whole process of music production, he has constantly participated in a number of sessions up until now.
From 1991 to 1995, he released three solo albums and got high acclaim for each one in various music circles. In 1999, his mini album titled "Brasilia 2000" and 12" remix single titled PEG from Galactic Disco (Hospital) were released and further enhanced his reputation as a top artist. After releasing Brasilia 2000 EP (bpm king street sounds / nite grooves)] in November 1999, there were many people around the world who were loud in their praises for Fukutomi.
His new, full-length album on cutting edge/avex inc in Japan. And believe or not, the album was in the Gilles Peterson charts while it was only a demo track. These facts have led to Fukutomiæs widespread recognition and respect throughout the international music circuit. Moreover, he was flooded with offers, from JCR / Compost (Germany), Schema (Italy), Irma (Italy), Slip'n'Slide (UK), R & S (Belgium), Roadrunner (UK) etcà and a wide range of labels from various countries.
He continues to DJ regularly, he has appeared at clubs such as Vendredi (Mishuku web), and Darling of Discotheque (Aoyama fai - the last Sunday every month)."

Subject: RE: (exotica) The Sandpipers "Guantanamera"

Its funny, to me the Sandpipers are a lot more accessible than the Free
Design,  mind you I don't have that much Free Design, I imagine that having
an in house writer of Chris Dedricks calibre must help with their
credibility, and they reached a kind of delirium on songs like 'Kites are
fun' which the Sandpipers never even attempted,  but then that wasn't what
they did.  But I find some of the Free design stuff quite stilted.  I don't
think they did slow soft as well as the Sandpipers.

Perhaps a soundclash is in order, Beatles covers at dawn.

I can't imagine what possessed you to go onto the James Last mailing list.
OK, so I've seen the voodoo LP going for 15 UKPounds,  and I own one LP, but
purely for the cover.  Honest.  (Its Silver and pink and has 'Go-Go' on it
in nice lettering)

"Voodoo Party" is so unlike the rest of the James Last LPs, it's almost
unbelievable that it's him.  Definitely worth picking up, even for 15 UK
pounds.

A fantastic 1974 A&M soft pop LP is by Nick DeCaro and its called "Italian Graffiti". So it may have "changed with the times", but complete corporate sellout? And what did A&M start out as? Certainly not a Mom & Popper..

Voodoo Party is probably worth that much, if you like afro-funk stuff.
I'd definitely pay 10 GBP without question. Make sure you get the cover
with the voodoo mask on the front and not the one with just Herr Last's
grinning visage. (He's on the back of the Voodoo mask cover though,
still grinning away) All the tracks are great except for the 2
Last-penned tracks ending each side - they sound silly after all the sly
stone covers and things.

Another surprise track is 'Happy Brasilia' on one of the Beach Party
records (vol 1, i think) which is pretty hot batucada. The Hair album
has it's moments too, but could be so much better.

I remember that tune, too.  I used to have it on the soundtrack from
The Sterile Cuckoo which, as I remember it now, was the same
sort of dreamy, easy, mostly instrumental pop with some faint (very
faint) Now Sound accents.

My memory may be hazy, it's been a long time since I last heard
it.  But I do remember really liking the album at the time.  The rest
of the music in the movie is by Fred Karlin, who also did Up the
Down Staircase.

I just relisted, and I missed the first mail in this thread. Was it
about the song Cuantanamera? that song was my first musical love in
life, Mom and Dad had two versions of it, silly spanish records that
they probably found on some sale, I was maybe three years old, and
loved it!

Some year ago I learned that the song was about marijuana, is that
right? It would definetely explain a lot.

oops... Voodoo Party is definitely the best J.L., but 15 pounds? I wouldn't pay so much. I think it's an OK album, but not much more.
