Despite the advent of the CD, the vinyl record has not entirely fallen by the wayside. In fact, many audiophiles prefer records to CD's for the former's rich, warm sound. Good turntables are available from Sota, Pro-Ject, Rega, and (for a little more money) VPI. Plan on spending $400 or more. The tonearms and cartridges that come with these turntables can be upgraded later. Note: If you buy a turntable, be sure that your receiver, integrated amp, or preamp has a phono stage. The phono stage must match the type of cartridge ("MM", moving magnet, or "MC", moving coil) in your turntable. If you lack the phono stage you need, you can buy it separately from Creek (cost, about $200). - -Lou # 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, 29 May 1998 00:29:08 +0100 From: MUV96TBD@Student2.lu.se (Jack Racine) Subject: Re: (exotica) Switched on Bacharach (was: Basic Hip Moog Tape >u like something a little subtler, either of the "Switched on >BACHARACH" records. But I have that Moog Machine and if that's the best, Basic Hip was nice enough to tape those two volumes for me, and they're both great! I think I like the first one the best, and particulary What's New Pussycat which is almost weirder than Perrey&Kingsley's most experimental stuff!! I seriously enjoy listening to moog music, I don't see why this kind of music should be of less good quality then other genres...I have a Perrey&Kingsley compilation with 26 songs and I definitely can listen to that from start to end. Dick Hyman is pretty cool too. And yeah, I definitely think his versions of both that James Brown song (Give It Up Or TUrn It Loose) and the Booker T & The MG's track are much better than the originals! On another note, can you listees recommend the book "Easy! The Lexicon of Lounge" by Dylan Jones?? I don't know anything about it apart from it has some articles about Werner Muller, Francis Lai, The Sandpipers, Les Baxter and many others.

Unfortunately, it's not that hot, but still interesting. I went south to St. Petersburg to visit my 'rents and stopped by a thrift store on the way. Someone had just dumped a fabulously maintained collection of interesting looking stuff, so I dropped a couple bucks and ended up with mostly a good deal of crap. But there were some good finds. Ray Charles Singers: Very Best Of (MGM-E/SE 4257) and Spring, Spring, Spring (Metro-MS 507) Um, no thanks. This sort of choral palp is not for me. Fairly dull orchestrations and choral parts, pretty much straight out of the Lawrence Welk era. Actually, a lot of this was. The Sandpipers: Guantanamara (A&M 117) Good Lord, who's demented idea was this? These cats were on some severe barbituates. Plus they sing all in Spanish. Pretty lame, except for the unbelievable cover of Louie Louie, with all Spanish lyrics and this bizarre Quaalude-induced slo-mo style. Excellent, but repeatedly listenable? We'll see... The John Keating Orchestra and Singers (okay, look, I'm new at this, all right? It LOOKED good...): Temptation (LondonSP 44019) Oh boy, the cover screams "Phase 4 Stereo + i.m.20c.r.!" Whatever that means. Plus the gatefold has a little piece of tissue that covers part of it to demonstrate where the tracks are located in stereo or some bizarre thing. How could this be bad? Well, the orchestrations are decent enough, though not particularly excellent. The problem is that the singers do the standard choral schmaltz thing in the Lawrence Welk style. (it's a trend in the stuff I got...) One track sticks out, "Blues in the Night" but just because there's a weird bass part for one of the singers at the beginning and end, although the rest isn't BAD, really. I'd consider hearing it again. Norman Luboff Choir: Apasionada (RCA LSP-2341) See, I got spoiled by Bob Thompson, who rules. How could all these cool Spanish titles be bad? And such a bright orange and red cool cover. But alas, Welkitis strikes again and it SUCKS. Not a good tune to be had. So sad. What a waste of a nice cover. King Richard's Flugel Knights: Cabaret (MTA 5003) Sigh, it looked so promising, but again, slow and low, that is the tempo. Yawn city, fellas. Well, at least it wasn't bad. It just wasn't good. Another disappointment. 12 TOP HITS (Modern Sound 1057) Some generic thing, but it segued from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly to Yummy Yummy Yummy and included Blue Velvet and Mony Mony. But it's just a budget piece of garbage. Again, so much potential. Walter Wanderly: Rain Forest (Verve 6-8658) Very nice record. Bu that's about it. No snazz, like Dee or Hyman. Just nice on this, very quiet, very laid back. It reminded me of shopping with my grandmother at the Maas Brothers department store. Is all his stuff so quiet? Or is there any really bouncy Wanderly? I'm keeping it, and do listen to it, but it's not what I had expected. Charles Magnante, His Accordion and Orchestra (Command RS 869 SD) Oh yeah, produced by Enoch Light, I knew I couldn't go wrong. This was what I had hoped for from Apasionada and Wanderly. High tempo, swinging latin beats, with great accordion playing which always fits right in with that latin sound. MMMMmmmmmmmmmmm. Anyway, I got more to add later, plus I spent some real cash at a great store called Bananas, which has tons of pretty records, all mint or near mint condition. Malhereusment, the minimum price is six bucks. But I got Walter Kime/Brass Choir and Dick Hyman's Electrodynamics, which is great. I also shelled 19 bucks for Fever and Smoke by the Three Suns. Well, where else is a non-thrifting Joe like me gonna get a copy? They had a 10" by the Suns too, that had the Doll Dance on it that I almost bought (plus Movin' and Shakin or Groovin' or whatever else that album is), but I figured my wife would only let me buy one 19 dollar album at a time. Ah well. Anyone know if that 10" is any good? It had a bunch of other nice tunes on it as well.

We'll see... Yes, this is the stand out track on this album and yes, the whole album may not be a record that spends a lot of time on your turntable. I suggest putting Louie,Louie on a comp tape and then saver the rest of the album on special occasions. >Norman Luboff Choir: Apasionada (RCA LSP-2341) >See, I got spoiled by Bob Thompson, who rules.

What a >waste >of a nice cover. Whoa there! My suggestion to you is to start a section in your collection of stuff you don't like at present and then in a year from now you can dip back into it and re-discover these forgotten treasures. You might be surprised that you'll come around to Mr. Luboff and his choir, althouh I must admit that it's a tough step and took me nearly five years.If you ever see a copy of Luboff's Songs of the Carribean or Calypso Holidy don't pass it up, for although most of the album is comprised of silly calypso tunes (which I still CAN'T get into) these albums do contain the incredible song BAMBOO TAMBOO. A most essential song in any exotica collection. Having just done a show titled "The Haunted Voices of the Norman Luboff Choir" I can attest to some of the strengths of the album Apassionada. Although the version of Jungle Drums pales in comparison to some more overtly exotica version, it does have some merits as a nice choral arrangement. The tune Nightingale is superb and is a perfect example of my notion of the "haunted" sound in Luboff's choir. Also, In conjuring up the name of Mr. Welk as a blanket term for stuff you don't like will keep you from hearing the subtlties of the artists in question. Not to defend the MOR crap of Welk. Which reminds me, never pass up on George Cates' Polynesian album just because it says "Lawrence Welk Presents" on the cover. >King Richard's Flugel Knights: Cabaret (MTA 5003) Not to negate all the open minded thoughts I've been trying to convey but, I absolutely Hated this album when I first listened to it. Maybe I should heed my own advice and give it another spin. Well back to the records...

Just wanted to mention there is one Ray Charles Singers LP to pick up if you see it. It may have been issued under more than one title, but the one I have is called Command Performance in 35mm (the gimmick -- the album was recorded on 35mm film for "high quality" sound.) Anyway, most of this album is boring, but there is a very cool "Hawaiian War Chant" on it. I used to always play this song whenever I would have a party. I've had this record over 10 years and this version still cracks me up everytime I hear it. The record to not pass up (at thrift shop prices anyway) is Dick Van Dyke with the Ray Charles Singers "Songs I Like". Not a good singer, but the arrangements are imaginative and interesting (ridiculous and fun may be another way to put it.) Final note: For any not in the know, the Ray Charles Singers have nothing to do with the famous songwriter/performer Ray Charles. The Ray Charles in question here is kind of a second rate Ray Conniff wannabe. I think the Singers used to do backup for Perry Como on tv in the 60's. Remember, when in a thrift shop, why pass up any good condition LP for $1.00 or less. You may rrun across someone who is dying to get it later. (Ofcourse, ALWAYS avoid all mainstream 70's rock) Larry # 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: Sat, 30 May 1998 11:57:26 EDT From: Subject: Re: (exotica) Exclusive for the Eclectropoppers !

Once upon a time, I thrilled to every time I saw the word Command or Enoch on a record. I had a dozen Ray Charles singers just for that reason. Now I only own "McArthur Park" and the psychedelic-covered "Slices of Life" which boasts "the new contemporary sound of the R.C.S". And the only remaining "Enoch Light Singers" record is "Whoever you are I love you" mostly for "Born to be wild" and "hello I love you".. which generated my most successful outgoing message of all time. Also the latter has this cool picture of Enoch smoking a pipe. Or I assume it's him. Yeah selling all those lovely-looking Command records at the record store that day, including a bunch of Tony Mottola's, was a bit like penance but I managed it. Still I can't help reacting everytime I see one of those Commands. My hand still darts out for them.
