Did you try it, William? not that i know of. i was actually given a bag of it and brought it back with me to taiwan, but never got around to eating it. i guess i'm a little suspicious of meat that doesn't need to be refrigerated. in a related note, i came home from work earlier this week and one of my roomates was eating this meat(i think it came from some function at her work but i'm unsure) and she asks if i want some and i pass. but then ask what it is. and the response "chinese turkey" and i said what's that? and of course the answer was dog. though i heard they actually made it illegal to eat dog here(which seems sort of silly, i mean if you are going to eat cows why not dogs?) recently. so maybe this really wasn't dog after all... oh, and tonite i ended up back at fnac picking up some dvds for my parents xmas gift, and one of my roomates picked up the dvd for happy texas. well, this dvd had one of those little plastic envelopes taped on the back with a cd of old chinese(or maybe taiwanese) songs. i don't think the people singing are really credited with anything just song titles. apparently recent recordings of old songs, but some of it is quite nice. some of it may even be new songs recorded in old style. the reason i bring this up, is that i remember awhile back magnus was looking for songs with train sounds, well, one song on this has a train whistle or something imitating a train sound. william in taipei. ps. i've only listened to that morricone comp i picked up once but am really loving it. what's the scoop on this track called "ciribiribin"? it seemed to me at the time that it sounded like some classical piece being played through a saloon piano, but then is that moog i hear? or maybe i'm getting two songs confused... pps. just put on that montefiori cd i got for the first time, and i am totally loving it.

Far Away Places not very exciting or exotic. I like harpsichord leads though, and this 1961 album has got loads of harpsichord. I think the harpsichord is a very indicative instrument for the recording technology used. Obviously used the engineers light to push the levels to accent the harmonics, and the low-cutty effect of the transformers is in full effect also. You always know in an instant when you hear a transistor era harpsichord. Enoch Light & His Orchestra ? Provocative Percussion Vol.III not very exciting or exotic either. I had one listen so far, and can’t recommend any particular track yet… Augusto Alguero & His Orchstra ? Sounds Spectcacular A “typical“ Polydor find. Very reverb heavy sound, with string and percussion arrangements. Unusal selections: Delilah I’m Coming Home Pata-Pata Cherie Babette Magico Sonido It Must be Love (Sera El Amor) la la la La Muchachita Del Pianillo Cuando Sali De Cuba The Ballad of Bonnie And Clyde Road To Marbella Gran Premio Somehow this reminds me of Keith Mansfield, the groove is more like Roberto Delgado. More over the top ideas and sound than either in any case. Is there more by this man? Desperados Steel Band? Virgin Islands Relatices of the Wesley Thomas Combo tracks: Gagabat Parris Twist Merengue Hugh Born To Love Melody Love Never On Sunday B G War Ja. (Ya) Slow Twist Nelson Know Yellow Bird Yankee Doodle This is one highly recommended Steeldrum record. The ballads may tack some getting used too, as especially the high notes don’t carry much tonal root. But in general: a impressive sound, very exotic to me, and the rhythms are intense and unusal. This will be a favorite on compilation tapes!

This album is the answer to those desires. Here is the Trio today -- augmented by drums and featuring four great guest soloists, each performing in three selections." And indeed it is so... nicely casual small combo takes on a set of standards, including Cole's Mr. Smooth vocals. Core combo is: N'K'C - piano, vocals John Collins - guitar Charlie Harris - bass Lee Young - drums Plus rotating guests: Willie Smith - alto sax Harry Edison - trumpet Stuff Smith - violin Juan Tizol - trombone Jack Costanzo - bongos The highlight from an exotica perspective is a pretty-darned-cool version of "Caravan" -- including Jack Constanzo and Juan Tizol guesting on his own standard. Nifty arrangement... rather than a big, loud Caravan, it's more of a cool 'n' clever late night Caravan. The rest of the tracks: Just You, Just Me Sweet Lorraine Sometimes I'm Happy It's Only A Paper Moon You're Looking At Me Lonely One Don't Let It Go To Your Head I Know That You Know Blame It On My Youth When I Grow Too Old To Dream Route 66 "Route 66" gets a teasing treatment. Recorded at "Capitol's new Tower Studios." Low-key, but not sleepy. Cool.

Edd Byrnes played Gerald Kookson III (Kookie), the jive-talking parking lot attendent with the dreamy good looks, on the popular private eye TV series 77 SUNSET STRIP from 1958-1963. Kookie wanted to be a private eye himself and often helped Stu Bailey (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr) and Jeff Spencer (Roger Smith) on their cases. Kookie proivided the comic relief for the show and his "Kookie-isms" such as "the ginchiest" (the greatest), "piling up the Z's" (sleeping) and "keep the eyeballs rolling" (be on the lookout) became his trademark. In 1959 Warner Bros put out this very hip little masterpiece, simply called Kookie. One of the tracks, the brilliant "Kookie's Mad Pad" was used on Rhino's excellent beatnik box set, The Beat Generation. "Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb), with Connie Stevens, hit #4 on Billboard's Top 40 in 1959. I really like "Like I Love You", a phone conversation between Kookie and Marcia, but it's not until after a lengthy guessing game that Kookie realizes he's got the wrong number.

According to the liner notes, "The title brings to mind a dark Paris cafe . . ." Huh? I guess I'm not as cosmopolitan as I thought, but to me the title brings to mind buckskin and warpaint, and frankly the sound of the song does too (I've just been listening to Billy Mure's very wild-west sounding version). Is the title really meant to sound like "a posh" and not "a patchy"? Is there a famous Paris cafe with that name?

Is there more by this man? Two other titles which are well worth picking up are "laugh laugh" (Circle of Sound) and "Top hits my Way"(Polydor). Both contain fantastic up tempo groovy latin tinged UK easy beat numbers. "Top hits..." is, as you would expect, covers. Rousing versions of "Say a Little Prayer", "hey Jude", "love Child" some non-descript fillers and a lovely quasi psych-pop-latin version of "cielito si-si" . Stand out track though is the fantastic original "bocaccio soul" a floor shakin' slab of throbbing hammond soul with funky breakbeats and scorching horn stabs. "Laugh Laugh" is an altogether more accomplished affair. Composed , arranged and conducted entirely by Augusto this release could be the soundtrack to some lost cinematic masterpiece. Spanning lush instrumentals, uptempo wordless vocal grooviness and thriller-esque themes to rock soul numbers like "Great Expectations" (included on the Karminsky LP "In-Flight Entertainment". Great club number "discotheque" is also on this release LP) makes this one of the best UK "easy listening" albums in my opinion, ranking with ease alongside releases by artist/arrangers like Keith Mansfield, Johnny Harris.

I have that LP, which has got to be the brightest summer LP I have. Jonny Delicado who does the musical taste site (http://www.psychedelicado.com) did me a tape of an LP 'Laugh, Laugh' which is more of the same, and according to the sleevnotes on the Polydor A-Z of Easy Listening theres another Polydor LP 'Hey, Jude', which I have yet to find. It took me a long time to find 'Sounds Spectacular' and I was very pleased when I did. The A-Z has a track 'Boccaccio Soul' which is a corker, a bit funkier than this LP with that great full bass and a flute solo. Gran Premio is on a compilation, and I can't remember the name of it, but it has some good Roberto Delgado on it and also a beautiful easy version of 'Try a little tenderness' by Kurt Edelhagen. Apart from that I think he did quite a lot of soundtrack work in Spain, but I've not been able to find much else out about him.

Is there a famous Paris cafe with that > name? i wondered that too, and also whether it was the same as the Shadow's 'Apache'. i think this LP was also reissued with one of those fish-eye cover photos in the Mercury Super Stereo series as 'Cugat in Europe'. i have neither though. # 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, 17 Dec 2001 19:05:06 +0100 From: Ton =?iso-8859-1?Q?R=FCckert?= Subject: Re: (exotica) Nat 'King' Cole "After Midnight" >>UK listers: most of these tracks are on an MFP lp which is very common. >>called 'Nat King Cole Sings With the Nat King Cole Trio' > >I didn't go into it in the first post, but my LP seems a bit unusual... >It's on (US) Capitol, but manufactured in Great Britain by EMI, and >apparently imported back into the US.

I picked up an album on a local fair yesterday from the Dutch bandleader and arranger Jos Cleber, Music of the city Amsterdam, it's an impression in sound of the Dutch capital (tracklist: The Royal Palace, Night Traffic on Rembrandt Square, the street organ, Carillon melodies, Rhapsody of street musicians, venice in Amsterdam, stormy weather in the harbor, The harbor bar, the stage coach, A provincial in Amsterdam - "Every day A. is invaded by men and women from neighbouring towns and villages in the province... at first they seem to be dazzled by the busyness of the city, but soon they feel at home. Jos Cleber mirrors their feelings in the selections Limburg and Limburg my country...." well, here's the provincial I am, and hello Marco... - The dancing mussel vendor), recorded in Holland, but especially made for the US market, I believe, at least it says "made in u.s.a" on the label. Bought some 42 records for about $50, perhaps I'll post a list of them later when I find time, most records where between $0.75 and $1.50, there was only one record that cost me more, "Thank you, music lovers", a Dutch Spike Jones compilation, and "Hawaiian War Chant (Ta-Hu-Wa-Hu-Wai)" alone is worth all $4 I payed for it, it is the weirdest and most insane version I've ever heard. Highlight of the fair was the Silent Night collector, he owns more than 1000 recorded versions of the song in all possible formats except for wax rolls, but that is apparantly going to change soon. His estimate is that there are about 12.000 to 15.000 recorded versions around, so he has way to go. It's a life. BTW One Silent Night among my scores, it's on Nat King Cole''s "Christmas Song" and that's a great album.
