Was amazed at the excellent incidental music and cues throughout, espec. 77, all this groovy walkinaround/drivin around/kookiepompadouradjustin/cigarettesmokin stuff. Now if they'd bring back Richard Diamond and Adventures in Paradise. Also recently enjoyed blonde bombshell Joi Lansing (as Gladys Flatt - yeah right) singin along with Flatt & Scruggs on the recent TVLand Beverly Hillbillies marathon. IMPORTANT NOTICE: After a 3 1/2 year wait, Turner Classic Movies is repeating Bop Girl Goes Calypso with score by Les Baxter. Date is Nov 11(late Sat/early Sun 3am eastern). Music by the Mary Kaye Trio, Nino Tempo, Lord Flea, and the Goofers, who feature a trombonist on a trapeze. Special appearance by Julie London hubby Bobby Troup as a noise meter techie, whose scientific research on crowd reaction in a nightclub provides evidence that Bop music is being overtaken by Calypso music. No, I'm not making this up. Earlier that Saturday afternoon TCM is rerunning I Love You Alice B Toklas, with Peter "I'm so hip it hurts" Sellers, the most-beautiful-hippie-chick-ever Leigh Taylor Young and Elmer Bernstein at his grooviest.

Their "anything goes" attitudes towards pot, group sex and lesbianism lead to several sticky plot complications, culminating in a murder spree. Bearing absolutely no relation to the Jacqueline Susann novel/film Valley of the Dolls, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was co-scripted by film critic ROGER EBERT. This soundtrack is quite rare and the movie has developed a huge cult following. I guarantee you, our dear Astroslut, Jane Fondle would give it a very enthusiastic thumbs up. :) Of the twelve tracks, there are only two instrumentals and the soft main theme by The Sandpipers which pretty much appears twice. The rest is rock vocals by the Carrie Nations and Strawberry Alarm Clock, which may result in a letdown for some.

Former listee Jack Fetterman, whose efforts towards a more exotic world know no boundaries, served as my host. A small museum near his home has some emotion-tapping photos of 9.11. And, the celebration of the marriage of Ursula1000 to his lovely betrothed in Midtown Manhattan served as the backdrop to this visit. Challenging the Naysayers was the spirit of the celebration which was officiated by our own Brother Cleve, handpicked by the lovely--believe that!-- couple as an ordained minister. With entertainment by the Lounge-O-Leers (who's EZ take on Destiny Child's "I'm A Survivor" somehow took on a mystical quality) and several DJ's who's competition for the turntables was civilized, though fraught with peril, an exotic night to remember was had by all IMHO. Then---walking up to Footlight Recordsthe next morning---"and the sign said" ""EZ listening-75% Off"". How often do you even see EZ referred to, let alone at 75% off? Anyway, after over an hour perusing the vinyl, here's what I walked out with: The Baroque Inevitable Why do I like Baroque?

In spite of that I don't think having this has changed my enjoyment of Mr Scruff, the two although the same are quite different dynamically. From the sleevnotes it seems that Moondog composed and conducted all the pieces himself. With a couple of exceptions the LP is Orchestral (classical even), Lament #1 has the alto clarinet lead (and is based on Moondogs meeting Charlie Parker) and a rhythm track played by Moondog and part of one of the longer pieces which has a similar groove. The sleevenotes are very interesting, a brief history of moondogs life (omitting the fact he was living on the street when he recorded the LP) and a bit of background for each track. And a lot of stressing the musical conventionality of the pieces. Parts of it reminded me of Honeggers piece 'Pacific 1-2-3' that I had on a Dada LP, but then I'm not too hot on classical music anyway. Very good Sunday morning music I found.

A pretty good 12, very much in the DJ You DJ Me mode (the Anubian Lights seem to have production links to them and Sukia), and Theresa a DJ You DJ Me remix of one track. Some nice Sitars and some nice groovy bass. Fairly mainstream in the modern Loungecore style. Or whatever you want to call it. Worth having. I went up visiting the big city and inherited some records thrown out by someone's mother. Not that much of interest, but there were some things of note. Count Basie Orchestra plays songs from Half a Sixpence. I really didn't have any hopes of this. At all. Jazz versions of Tommy Steele songs, lord preserve us. Especially as my friend said 'Are you sure? its real trad Jazz.' Well, thankfully he's not too strong on his Jazz Genres. This is pretty good, swinging, superior big band Jazz, as you'd expect from Basie, I'd suppose. This is the first LP I have of his. One of the soloists is Illinois Jacquet, who I can remember my Jazz buff friends revering. On Contour records licensed from Dot. Also on Contour from Dot I have Billy Vaughn (is it Billy? I'm sure it is, the Vaughn is right, as I remember checking it as it looked funny) 'La Paloma'. I'm not sure if this is absolute genius or completely dire, absolutely the most cheesily cheerful LP in my collection. Nice looking girl in a bikini next to a palm tree on the cover, lots of up tempo instrumental covers on the record. Not one for Alan I reckon. A bit of guitar twang on one of the tracks, but not much more, nothing at all about it sticks in my memory apart from the mood. Quite, quite bizarre. Also an LP of film themes by the Cinematic Orchestra. The usual suspects really, 'When a man loves a woman', Laras theme'. Quite well done, and a couple that I don't have, so its a keeper, but not necessarily a player. Theres a couple of others that I haven't played, that include a Bing Crosby live in London double set. It has Ted Rogers on a couple of tracks. The presence of Ted Rogers disturbs me. And I can't bring myself to play it, because of that fact. But at the same time I can't dispose of it without listening to it. I want to listen to it but I can't. I have a vague recollection of Ted Rogers having been a singer a long while ago, but I can't shake the image of cheesy gameshow host. Its not good. The sleeve even has pictures of him and Bing on stage. Big seventies microphones, big shiny seventies black suit, big seventies collar. Bad Tom Jones hair. Its a morbid fascination I'm developing. I'm almost sure the whole thing will turn out to be dreadfully dull, most of the things I'd be interested in have been dragged into medleys. Theres a version of 'Send in the clowns'. Thats enough rambling, sorry.

On a beautiful Sunday morning strolling around a huge outdoor flea market = there was a guy with box after box after box of records - and much to my = girlfriend's chagrin I rolled up my sleeves and dove into the vinyl.

Here was the splitting image of Andy Warhol with dyed = white hair and an all-silver suit glaring back at me! Whoa.

And I started to get that feeling that I'm sure you can = connet with when you just know this is going to be a good selection of = vinyl woth flipping through. Then there was Truck Turner (I passed this 2 = LP set up - any good??).=20 I did find a few LP's - I found that great (well, the first LP anyway) 2 = record boxed set "Songs to keep your husband happy" with "How to Bellydance= ..." and "How to Strip...." records and what I had hoped was a copy of the = instruction booklet - but alas, it wasn't inside (dammit!!). The = bellydancing album I had on CD courtesy of someone on this list - and it = is *GREAT* but I have a feeling the "strip" album is probably your = standard ragtime/strip music. I forget the band leader's name - is it = Sonny Lester? So anyway, the Taboo 2 was $5, the box set was $2, and all the other = records were 50 cents (Leis of Jazz, some great Bond rip-off LP's with = groups like the "zero zero seven band," a Dean Martin spy album "The = Silencers" ) listened to this one this morning - disappointing, but great = cover of a round bed and several beauties lounging with Dean.......so I = made out okay - his prices were all over and had NO pattern at all.

I also found a great "space" themed cover - can't recall the composer. = It's a guy flying through space on a Vespa scooter that has a trumpet = attached to the side as though it were a rocket powering the scooter = through space.

Wow! Great haul Nate! The Sonny Lester "How to Bellydance" album IS great. I found a fairly scratchy copy myself not long ago, but the sound quality during the songs is acceptable (it's just between the songs that I wince). Darrell plays a couple of numbers from that album pretty frequently on his show as well as from one of your other great finds, Drasnin's VooDoo. I have only heard this thanks to DB, but I would consider myself extremely lucky to find a copy that didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I'm sorry to hear that your girlfriend gets exasperated with your record searches. Even though my wife doesn't much care for my exotica tastes, I feel extraordinarily lucky that she actually encourages my habit and, to beat all, she actually wants to put album covers as art up in the new room that we've added. At the moment the walls are white, and I've suggested some of the Command covers. I know others have wallpapered with HA's Whipped Cream. Any tips on things to avoid in the process? The room gets a lot of light, so I'm worried about fading. Anyway, sorry to get off topic. Keep letting us know about your finds. It keeps the fire of hope alive.

You will be pleased to learn that Andre Popp was just downloaded from me just as often as Limp Bizkit.

So make that hard-to-find. Until last week, I had never held a copy in my hands - and I collect soundtracks. It does book $100-$150. Bidding history on ebay when it does show up supports this.

My wife let me go to the WFMU fair on Sunday even though we're low on money. She's not into this kind of music either but let's me have my fun. Met Tony Wilds of http://www.wildsscene.com/wsounds Talked a bunch about stuff I'd had questions about being any good like Chiano. Always assumed it was just percussion and chants without very good music. He said it's real hollywood stuff and great liner notes on the CD out there if you can find it. He has a great story. Have to keep my eye out. Tony sold me in his $3 bin: Three Suns "A Swingin' Thing" and Mel Henke's "Now Spin This!" He gave them both to me for $5, he used to be on this list. He had Les Baxter's "The Primitive & the Passionate" for $35. I said, "Too much for me, maybe I'll come back later and talk you down". I did. He said it is the last of the great Les Baxter exotica albums. I listened to it. It truly is. Highly recomend it. Found two Elmer Bernstein albums: Movie & TV Themes (from $5 talked down to $3): Excellent album. As good of crime jazz as they come. A Man & his Movies (from $10 talked down to $5): : Pretty much the same cuts but with 4 more. This one is in stereo but the identical cuts from Movie & TV Themes aren't in stereo. I've heard the Stereo Movie & TV Themes from a public library and it's true stereo. Get the Movie & TV Themes iffen you can find it. Leo Diamond's Stereo "Exciting Sounds from Romantic Places" (for $1). Guy who sold it said, "Another record for the cover, eh?" I said no, for the music." It's really good. Multichannel overdubbing of many types of harmonicas. Got that "Sea Diver's Suite" feel but in a stereo actiony way. And now the cream de la crop. Tony Mottola's TV Soundtrack to Danger!!! The guy didn't know what it was but said "I bet it's worth a lot" "How much?", I asked. "$15, maybe?", he said. Always one to talk someone down even if it's a good price, I said, "I'll give you ten." He said, "I better look it up in my book." I almost said I'll take it for the $15 (remembering it was worth a lot in my book) when I saw he had a Goldmine album Price guide but not the soundtrack guide. I held off. It wasn't in his book. He said "How about $11?" I took it. When I got home and looked it up, I found it worth $75-100. Whew! It's good too. Great Mottola guitar with the Ray Charles Singers doing wordless vocals, simular to the Walter Schumann vocals on Exploring the Unknown. That's all. Sorry for the long letter.

Scored a Sir Julian (organ in orbit, I think) in stereo for $5. Talked to Tony Wilds also for a bit. His prices seem to be coming down a bit (like from $150 to $75, say), must reflect current supply and demand, post 9/11 market etc. BTW he has an excellent site which you should check out if you haven't, wildsscene.com, a good roundup of various genres and titles to look out for. Later I got a jones to hunt for cheezy 80s synthpop singles. (with picture sleeve of course, otherwise why bother). Looked thru some unindexed bargain bins. Did find a copy of Heaven 17 'Penthouse and Pavement' for $3 but passed it up cause there was a small hole in the center of the pic. pg # 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: Mon, 5 Nov 2001 16:52:21 -0500 From: "cheryl" Subject: Re: (exotica) Weekend Finds.....

I hope this lineup lasts for a little while, at least. It's such a pleasure... an intravenous drip of low-budget, light-noir, b&w, mini-movies. Hey, JBG, I hope you caught your fave rave, Audrey Totter on Hawaiian Eye. Faith Domergue turned up on Bourbon Street Beat. Actor spotting heaven! Also on Saturday, I did manage to catch the opening and a good chunk of "Flintstones On The Rocks". Skip did a fine job with the music. The exotica and ranchero variations were very tasty indeed. I didn't care much for the cartoon itself (if you want to see Fred portrayed as a stupid, mean-spirited jerk, this is the cartoon movie for you), but the music was mighty fine. >IMPORTANT NOTICE: After a 3 1/2 year wait, Turner Classic Movies is >repeating Bop Girl Goes Calypso with score by Les Baxter.

He and I both had lost an eBay auction, but here is the mail that he sent me. Can anyone help? He knows Jack Diamond, so that avenue hasn't turned anything up. If nothing else, it looks like we are getting more Chaino issued! "I was hoping it would be a cleaner copy than I have but maybe not so I won't go higher. I produced it 40 years ago and need a clean copy for promo on my new 3 CD's that are following "Chaino Africana and Beyond" I am offering a $1,000.00 buy now on ebay for a clean copy of my other LP on Chaino, "Temptation" I have it on reel to reel, but need the LP version. If you find one, let me know and I'll buy it now. Put a min. of a thou on it so no one will bid until I place my bid. Or, I'll just put the thou on as a bid, or whatever.
