As long as there is capit..., uh, competion, there will be people who sell AND want as much for their items as possible and people who buy AND want to pay for these items as little as possible.

I must apologize for the grumpy mood I am at this morning. But for someone whose views i always concur with and who is one of the most intellifgent and respected contributors to this list, I am really surprised at your comments and must take the contrary point with you on this. eBay is just another public forum for sale. When a dealer sells his stuff at a record convention he is paying a fee just like he does to eBay to allow their stuff to go for sale. Having a group of dealers at a record show or flea market from around the country is a great idea and I don't mind paying the entrance fee to have that oppertunity to find things I wouldn't find in my local used record shops. On eBay you can do the looking for free, no entry fee. So who is the bigger exploiter here. the record conventions or eBay?

She was 47. Chabola was special events coordinator for the Los Angeles Unified School District when she volunteered to help with the 1984 summer Olympics. She contributed to the dance routines for the opening and closing ceremonies at the Los Angeles Coliseum. That assignment won a Bob Fosse Award in choreography for her and her co-creator, Kenny Ortega. They both were nominated for an Emmy. Ms. Chabola choreographed the ceremonies for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, the 1992 and 1994 soccer World Cup, and 10 Super Bowl half-time shows. She worked on more than 100 special events and TV broadcasts, including Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Billboard and Essence awards. *Sally Payne Kelly LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Sally Payne Kelly, an actress who appeared in a series of 1940s Westerns with Roy Rogers and Gene Autry before becoming an illustrator for children's books, died Saturday. She was 85. Originally known as the ``Sunshine Girl'' of artists' models, Sally Payne came to Hollywood under contract to appear in Republic Studios cowboy films. She made her debut in a bit part as a tourist in the 1934 film ``Hollywood Hobbies.'' By 1940, before moving into a series of westerns, she had appeared as a maid in ``No, No, Nanette'' and as Lucy Endover in ``La Conga Nights.'' She married Western Airlines executive Arthur F. Kelly in 1942 and turned to art. She painted oils for her home and those of friends and illustrated a series of ``Small Star'' children's books, including ``Neighbors.'' *Leon Thomas NEW YORK (AP) -- Leon Thomas, a jazz singer known for his ululating style, died Saturday of heart failure as a result of leukemia. He was 61. Thomas developed his wordless yodeling style -- which he later called ``soularphone'' -- in the late 1960s when he performed with musician Pharoah Sanders. His elastic throat articulation was compared to African pygmy and American Indian singing techniques. Along with Sanders, Thomas helped develop ``kosmigroov,'' a type of spiritual African-tinged soul-jazz exemplified in recordings like ``The Creator Has a Master Plan'' (1969) and ``Hum-Allah-Hum-Allah-Hum Allah'' (1970). Born in Illinois, Thomas moved to New York in 1958 and worked as a straight blues-jazz singer. By the mid-1960s he was performing with Count Basie and Mary Lou Williams. Later in his career he recorded albums for the Flying Dutchman label, and spent two years with the band Santana. In recent years, he often sang at the Lenox Lounge in Harlem. May 14, 1999 Leon Thomas, 61, Jazz Singer Known for 'Yodel' By BEN RATLIFF,NYTimes Leon Thomas, a jazz singer known for his bellowing glottal-stop style in free jazz of the 1970's, died on Saturday at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx. He was 61 and lived in the Bronx. The cause was heart failure as a result of leukemia, Karen Dagneau, his tour manager, said. Thomas, who was born in East St. Louis, Ill., and studied music at Tennessee State University, moved to New York in 1958. With his stout tenor voice, he worked as a straight blues-jazz singer, performing with Count Basie and Mary Lou Williams in the mid-60's. But by then he had also begun to spend time with young jazz musicians, like Randy Weston and Pharoah Sanders, who were looking to Africa, the East and meditation for musical material. Onstage with Sanders in the late 60's Thomas developed his ululating singing style, which has been compared to African pygmy and American Indian singing techniques, and which he later called "soularphone." He believed that his ancestors had given him his elastic throat articulation, he said, and henceforth always used it. Pharoah Sanders tracks like "The Creator Has a Master Plan" from 1969 and "Hum-Allah-Hum-Allah-Hum Allah" from 1970 were full of Thomas's wordless yodeling over band vamps. This kind of spiritual African-tinged soul-jazz has become known as "kosmigroov." After working with Sanders and making some of his own albums for the Flying Dutchman label, he spent two years with the band Santana. In the last few years he often sang at the Lenox Lounge in Harlem. Thomas is survived by a son, Amos, of the Bronx, and a brother, Curtis of St. Louis. # 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, 14 May 1999 11:24:29 -0400 From: "m.ace" Subject: Re: (exotica) The eBay Question - the Shaman speaks >Be happy with less (just think of the next time you have to move), >collect JPEGs, buy flowers for your mother!

Considering cartoon soundtracks of the time, shows like "It Pays To Be Ignorant" and even "progressive" rock groups like ELP and Yes, this is not too surprising. I agree that that would be a cool idea. # 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, 14 May 1999 08:48:29 -0700 (PDT) From: Laura Taylor Subject: (exotica) HONKY In the "soundtrack is better than the film" department, we have...HONKY! Ahh,yes, as the film description says on the box, "a love story...about hate" or something simpy. Anyway, it's an inter-racial love affair b-movie, set in the early 70s...lots of talk about "turning on" and "hang-ups". But the film score cat, Quincy Jones, is of course, oh-so-A-list..Anybody know whether the groovy OST for HONKY was ever released?

Wiggins who has played a key role in some re-issues of Bing Crosby's music. I know that Bing falls perhaps just outside of the fuzzy exotica border, but I found the article interesting with their perspective of what gets re-issued and what gets left behind. The article is positive and inspiring....those of you who are interested in releasing some locked treasures from the corporate vaults might enjoy it also http://search.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/1999-05/13/035l-051399-idx.html Vern # 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, 14 May 1999 11:18:05 -0000 From: "Stephen W.

If you are interested in production music, you probably know that most of the Ren & Stimpy cuts were from the Capitol / KPM libraries. (Caroline Records has two great CDs of this stuff). We also use the Chappell Music library. It includes the Captain Kangaroo cue we used in the first commercial we did for Old Navy (There is a quicktime version of that commercial on our website if you are interested.) Most of the music in our web cartoons comes from Chappell. The Chappell library also has great drama and crime cues. (A CD called "Betty Page Danger Girl" had a lot of these on it...) We just finished a prime time special for Cartoon Network starring Ranger Smith and Yogi Bear. We had the "cartoon music expert" Daniel Goldmark research the stock music used in the original series and we were able to license some of them. In a few cases, it was first time these tracks had been used in decades. Unfortunately, just like consumer CD's a lot of the libraries had undergone digital mauling. The stock music companies seem to feel the need to put digital reverb on old cuts, and filter out all the surface noise until the music loses all of its punch. On many of the most important cues, like John Seeley and William Loose's "Toboggan Run", we were able to convince them to pull the original acetate masters and make us straight unaltered dubs off of those. The funny thing is, I was watching an old Yogi Bear cartoon from the early sixties, and there were pops and clicks in the exact same places that there was pops and clicks on the acetate they pulled for us! Even back then, they sounded pretty much the same. In any case, you will really like the music... lots of great Jack Shandlain, George Hormel, John Seeley and William Loose tracks mixed in. It really gives it the feel of the old show.

Rob, the main character in High Fidelity, has his 36th birthday in the novel. Rob at one point spends a long paragraph talking about the meaning in Dusty Springfield's version of 'The Look of Love' The book was first published in 1995, if it would be written today, I would expect the Rob character to make a few more lounge/exotica references. I had the definite impression he was NOT into the mainstream...instead he ridicules much of it. This excerpt happens when he is looking through the CD collection of his girlfriend's co-workers...... "So I wander over to the shelf, and turn my head to one side and squint, and sure enough, it's a disaster area, the sort of CD collection that is so poisonously awful that it should be put in a steel case and shipped off to some Third World waste dump. They're all there: Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Kate Bush, Pink Floyd, Simply Red, the Beatles, of course, Mike Oldfield (Tubular Bells I and II), Meat Loaf.....I don't have much time to examine the vinyl, but I see a couple of Eagles records" good book, now waiting for the movie Vern # 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, 14 May 1999 16:29:58 -0500 From: dymaxia@ripco.com Subject: (exotica) Music out of the Moon, etc. Okay, I got my copy *reserved* and I'm going to pick it up on my way home tonight, so I guess I can let the cat out of the bag. I've been wanting this so badly ever since I saw _Theremin_. Oh, and coincidentally, I picked up Clara Rockmore's CD yesterday for $9.99 -- it's going to be a theremin- inspired finals week for me. From the Dustygroove web page: "Dr. Samuel J. Hoffman/Les Baxter/Harry Revel -- Theremin -- Music Out Of The Moon/Perfume Set To Music/Music For Peace Of Mind . . . CD . . . $29.99 Basta (Netherlands), Early 50s/1999 (3CDs) Condition: New Copy | View Cart ] Amazing! This is a stunning 3 CD set that reissues the original 10" albums of early Theremin material by Dr. Samuel Hoffman! The records were originally issued by Capitol and RCA in the early 50's, and they're as rare as can be on vinyl. This set packs tiny 5" replicas of the albums themselves into a tiny box, along with a very nice booklet that contains a wealth of information on Hoffman, the Theremin, and lots of other nice bits. The orchestrations for the albums are by Les Baxter and Billy May, and the works were written by the enigmatic Harry Revel. The sound is incredible, and is a wild mix of sci fi and easy themes, with a feel that is out of this world! The package is more beautiful than we can describe, and this is a long-overdue tribute to 3 of the weirdest records of all time!" - -- Kerry # 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, 14 May 1999 18:55:13 -0500 From: recliner Subject: Re: (exotica) ska / Re: (exotica) "Brazilica" m h jemmeson wrote: > > Date: Thu, 13 May 1999 11:56:26 +0200 > > From: "Arjan Plug" > > Subject: (exotica) ska > > > > BaBaS: > > > > >Can i ask about ska things on this list > > > > Only if it's off-beat! > > > > "exotic" ska-covers I know of: > > > > Phyllis Dillon 'Perfidia'? Yes, yes, YES ! This is one of my favorite versions of Perfidia but technically it's a rock-steady tune not ska. When she says "sock it to me baby" in the middle of the song it gives me a shiver. It can be had on the CD collection "Duke Reid's Treasure Chest - Treasure Isle Rock-Steady" on Heartbeat 95/96 (this 2-cd set has since been broken up into two singly issued cds) Frank # 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, 14 May 1999 20:09:48 -0400 From: Risser Family Subject: (exotica) Damn! I hit a Record Exchange here in Cinci, and though they didn't have a = ton, they did have a couple of nice things, all at 33 cents. One rekkid was a copy of Breakfast at Tiffany's by Mancini. Nice = condition all around except the track Mr. Yunioshi has this tremendous = groove in it that someone obviously cut with a knife or something. = Quite bizarre. Also got Ray Charles Singers Command Performances on Command. Not a big = RC fan, but it had Hawaiian War Chant... A couple of Herb Alpert rekkids, the ubiquitous Goin' Places (what the = hell) and ...Sounds Like... which is a beautiful cover. Also a copy of Nino Rota's score for Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet. = Hopefully good. Then a couple of other non-list oriented things including an absolutely = golden mint copy of Derek and the Domino's Layla and that rekkid by = Oliver, Good Morning Starshine. Not a bad haul for under 5 bucks. But that Mancini rekkid. What a weird thing to do to a record. A = mauling.
