Every charitable organization has set up a thrift store, and all have records (to a greater or lesser degree) - we've got a Value Village, a "Bibles for Mission" thrift store (the last chance thrift store I was referring to), a Community Services thrift store, a Prison Ministry thrift store, a Mennonite Central Committee Thrift Store, an I'm not sure what they do, but they're called the Victory Thrift Store... and then there's more about fifteen minutes away.

But yeah, it seems to have changed pretty dramatically around here in the last year or so. Thrift stores in Toronto are now pretty sad. I don't really know how this change occurred but I have the nagging suspicion that it had something to do with the curious fact that all the thrift stores in Toronto are now staffed exclusively by Japanese.

It's actually quite a good collection. Perez Prado shows up on it, along with other serious bands. I remember there being a great version of "Chacita" on one of the sides. And the good thing is that most people who ordered the collections did so out of some kind of loyalty to Reader's Digest or subscription or something, so they never bothered to listen to the records more than one or two times. Of course, many of the collections are probably not worth listening to more than once (if that much). I admit I was tempted to buy a Steve & Eydie collection once, but passed on it.

By the way, I just happened to pick up a few RD sets just hours ago, each in characteristic RD Near Mint quality. Two are organ music, and the third I'm now listening to is a 9-record set titled "Serenade for Lovers", subtitled "Romantic mood music by Melanchrino Strings, Vic Damone, Harry Belafonte, Jack Jones, Chet Atkins, Hugo Winterhalter, John Gary, Ed Ames, Henry Mancini, Perry Como, & 29 others". The "29 others" are no slouches -- the very first track on record 1, "Wiederseh'n" by Pete King and His Orchestra is the height of delight. - --cm # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2001 16:01:49 -0700 From: crymad Subject: Re: (exotica) Readers Digest LP box collections Rob Crowther wrote: > Anybody know if they've ever been translated over > to CD? I came across a "Pleasure Programmed" Readers Digest CD just the other day at my local library. It is one disc in a series of four 3-CD sets of "The Most Beautiful Melodies of the Century". I'm quite fond of the RD "Stardust Memories" set I have on 8-track, but this CD was disappointing. Only a meager 12 songs, each one bubbling over with digital shrillness. "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars" by Paul Weston and Jo Stafford was for me the only good track.

The truism that "popular" music is never as good as "serious" music is a relatively recent one. If you look at the list of artists that sold the most records from 1900 to 1960, the list would look something like this... Enrico Caruso, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley. If you listed the artists who made the most significant contributions to music during the same period, the list would be pretty much the same. For the first half of the 20th century, popular music *was* serious music. The ghettoisation of popular music has only been since the British Invasion when marketing became more important than the music.

This still bugs me. That post with the word "racism" in it. And the business about NOT blaming collectors for high record prices. In most used record stores I've been around the continent, most records are in the five to seven dollar range. Or maybe a little less. A lot of stores jump from there to the twenty dollar range. These are records the store owner thinks are special for various reasons and he thinks he can get a bit more money for them. Often they're called "collector's items" but that's just a marketing term. Sometimes those twenty dollar records are priced at 30 or 40 dollars even. You can't really "blame" anyone for the prices of the records I've discussed so far. That's just the way record sellers think. The prices they come up with are actually pretty arbitrary. But the records I've talked about so far were not the ones I was talking about all those months ago when this topic first came up in reference to expensive records on ebay. I'm talking about the hundred and two hundred dollar records. Records are going for that kind of money because someone somewhere is willing to pay that much for that record. That person either has a lot more money than most of us OR he has other reasons for paying that much, such as feeling like he actually NEEDS it for his livelihood. I guess the word "blame" has more than one meaning. I don't blame someone for buying what they want or for paying whatever they need to pay. But if I'm looking for someone to blame for the high price of some records, I will look to the people willing to pay those high prices.

I think the developement was furthered after 70s Punk. It’s just cool to be working in the popular music field. It’s even cooler not to know much about music in general. I have always earned my living working in the music business, where I got these ideas.

WICN's "FINAL" VINYL sale is happening at the Heberts Candy Mansion on October 6th. In Shrewsbury Massachusetts.On Rt 9. John here from the list just got a car and wants to start looking for LP's. Well here's a good place for you to show up John. Last year records were $2 each. And who knows. Since this is the "last" sale someone might be able to get a deal for all the left over Living Strings and Ray Conniff LP's. But for some reason WICN told me they need movers at the end of the day. I wonder what they are going to do with all the leftovers. They might just chuck them. I think this year there might be more JAZZ LP's. I showed up at the station 1/2 a year ago and noticed the Jazz LP section, about 30 linear feet, was gone or significantly reduced. The GM said nobody was playing them. So the Boston exotica list strategy is this: Lets show up at the beginning. Grab whatever you think looks interesting. Gather around a picnic table (it's outside) and exchange and swap among ourselves. Get high sniffing musty old LPs. And revel in the vinyl fetish!! My next post will be about the meeting I had with the program director at WICN. This is not the station I do my own show on, but was hoping some day to substitute at or even get my own program.

So some of you are going to get this twice. Some of you (like Darrell B) gave me some nice advice and want to let you know what happened. I passed on an edition of my program to the program director at WICN this summer. They play Jazz during the day, folk at night and weekend volunteer hosts doing jazz, American songbook, swing and new age program. They have been wondering lately how to attract younger listeners. The average listener is very close 60. A toned down late Saturday afternoon exotica show would work out great for them. Following the 12-4 PM DJ who features swing music circa 1958. He liked the music I was playing. He thinks I put togeter a good show. He used to DJ adventurous programs years ago when WICN was affiliated with the Worcester colleges, but we got into one of those cyclic "What do people want" conversations. They have plenty of evidence that if the music get a little too wild the folks switch off to top 40 classical radio. He specifically mentioned Martin Denny and how he would be somebody a little adventurous to play. 'Ol Marty is pretty tame compared to some of the other exotica/SABP things we talk about here. So even if I got a program I would be high maintnance for him. WICN is doing better than they ever had. The GM's business strategy of consistent pleasant jazz without all the hard saxophones solos and neutral almost personality-less hosts seems to be working. The GM once mentioned that they have people on the air now that he does not like. I cant imagine what he's talking about. None of them sound bad. But he did mention that on-air people should just read the weather. Don't make any comments about what you think about the weather. Goodness! Talking about the weather not appropriate? Practically every human conversations starts out with talking about the weather. As a college radio host on WJUL I'm not bad, getting better and the PD continues to give me pointers, but I will never get up to those NPR standards. I've been volunteering at WICN for about 8 years now. Instead of adopting a "just say 'screw em" and move on" attitude I'm going to continue helping out where I can. They do play nice music and have friends who work and volunteer there. Public radio may in time loosen up. It may not really be their fault. It's the public that drives support after all. The GM would play bagpipes all day if it generated the pledges. Working inside the system instead of outside, Patiently reminding them that people like me, diehard public radio listeners, would enjoy and support an exotica program. Is the way to go. And maybe in about 20 years when we are in our 60's well get a chance to play Denny and Esquivel on public radio.

The Rolling Stones have a great song about Ms. Longet called "Claudine," but drat, I lost the MP3 in a hard drive crash last year.
