Mag #8 Well, Mr. PROCRASTINATOR finally got the press release done,so if you would be so kind to post it on the Exotica Mailing List, I'd be grateful. - -Dana (Coolstrge@aol.com) C&SM Mag Issue #8 of Cool And Strange Music! Magazine is here!! It's another 48 pages, beautifully offset-printed, with a cool color cover, lots of high-quality photos, tons of new wacky and weird CD reviews and it's more fun than ever! Featuring exclusive interviews with comedy music legend, STAN FREBERG, and the late TINY TIM!! We also have articles on MILWAUKEE'S COOLEST RECORD STORES, and a story about the records made by the copycat bands that sprang up after the success of The Tijuana Brass with our article, HERB ALPERT AND THE TIA- WANNABE'S!! Learn all about the record industry's fascination with NASA's space program in the early '60s with our piece on MUSIC FROM OUTER SPACE, and we'll take a look at some of the world's most ridiculous liner notes, with THE ART OF THE LINER NOTE. You'll also find lots of wacky, new CD reviews, and loads more!! Our centerfold features some of WEIRDEST AND MOST WONDERFUL LP COVERS you've ever seen! It's 48 pages of musical mayhem and madness! It all starts with a cool cover story/interview with the brilliant song- satirist, STAN FREBERG. Mr. Freberg shares with us many stories behind the scenes of recording some of his classic, funny records of the late '50s and early '60s. With the release of his STAN FREBERG PRESENTS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PART TWO, last year, this funny-man is obviously still in top-form and we're proud as punch to present J.R. William's exclusive interview with this modern-day comedy genius! Next, we have an exclusive interview with the late, great TINY TIM. Author Ernie Clark, chatted with Tiny a few years before his death and we're happy to run several pages of this fascinating interview. Tiny discusses his little- known involvement with Bing Crosby, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and Lenny Bruce, among others, as well as discussing some of his most obscure recordings. Some of the most fascinating albums were recorded in the late '50s and early '60s, to quench the public's obsession with the Space Program and NASA's plan to send a man to the moon. With their colorful, imaginative covers depicting moon people, spaceships and the heavens, the music inside these fanciful sleeves were often just as wonderful. Ken Saari takes us through a tour of MUSIC FROM OUTER SPACE, highlighting the cream of the crop of these "space" records. We travel to the Mid-West, for a look at MILWAUKEE'S BEST RECORD STORES, as Kevin John takes us on a brief tour though the choice places to find unusual vinyl! You've got to have this article if you're shopping for unusual records in Milwaukee! Our photo centerfold this time is the ever-popular, LATIN BABES!, some of the sexiest senoritas to ever grace a Cha-Cha album! Take a gander at these gals! Woo-woo! When Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass hit the bigtime, with their zippy instrumental music, nearly every fly-by-night record label rushed to put out their own "copycat" version to cash in on the craze. Brad Bigelow escorts us through the best and worst of these records with his piece on HERB ALPERT AND THE TIA-WANNAVE'S. These are the records you've probably been passing up for years! Some of these discs are excellent, so find out all about what you've been missing! If you believe EVERYTHING you read, then you must be convinced that Elvis is really alive and living on Mars! You also probably bought most of the records described in Ed Kaz' article, ART OF THE LINER NOTE. Our funnyman-writer points out some especially hilarious examples of some of the most incredible liner-note hype ever written, desperately trying to sell records to the browsing buyer! If you don't chuckle at a few of these ACTUAL liner notes, you must be dead. All this, and a whole lot more fun stuff than we dare mention, and you'll find a very Cool Issue #8 of COOL AND STRANGE MUSIC! MAGAZINE. So get on board!

Sadly, no. He died in 1986. Albertine also contributed the arrangements on Les and Larry Elgart's Columbia albums, which include some great early 1960s dance numbers (ala frug, swim, monkey, jerk, twist). Here's his bio from his page on the Space Age Standards website: http://home.earthlink.net/~spaceagepop/albertin.htm Charles Albertine Born 1929, Passaic, New Jersey Died 18 May 1986, Los Angeles, California Albertine started as a tenor saxman with a variety of dance bands, including Sammy Kaye's, in the late 1940s. He then spent a year in the pit band of a Broadway show before going to work with Les Elgart's newly-formed band. Albertine quickly became the lead arranger and a prime factor in the success of the Elgart sound, which kept one foot in traditional sweet swing and another in the more minor-keyed jazz of late bebop. He left the Elgarts in the late 1950s and began working with Al Nevins and a number of Aldon Music's stars such as Neil Sedaka. He arranged most of The Three Suns' later albums during the RCA "Living Stereo" era, including the classic "Movin' and Groovin,'" "Fever and Smoke," "Warm and Tender," and "On a Magic Carpet." These albums contain some of the boldest, most jarring use of stereo separation and contrasting instrumentation to be heard in supposedly safe, mainstream pop music. Most of these albums also featured one or two originals penned by Albertine. He worked with the Elgarts again in the early 1960s, arranging some of their best "discotheque"-style dance albums. He also contributed occasional arrangements to Lawrence Welk's 1960s albums. Albertine's Bandstand Boogie" was adopted by Dick Clark as the theme song for his long-running series, "American Bandstand." He dabbled in film scoring, providing the title song for the Viking epic, "The Long Ships," but most of his later career was spent in television, on series ranging from the soap opera, "The Days of Our Lives" to "Gidget," "The Incredible Hulk," "The Bionic Woman," and "Fantasy Island." He wrote classical pieces as well, including a symphony and concert settings of poems by Edna St. Vincent Millay and Nietzsche.

But I also have very, very vague memories of being obsessed with a Dr. Scholl's TV ad in the late 60s when I was a little kid, and the Brass Ring track really reminds me of it - does this ring any bells out there?? 2) A Trader Vic's in London!!! Must know more - where, what hotel? One of the most perfect evenings of my adult life was when we stumbled completely accidentally into the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago, discovered the Trader Vic's, and where drunk before the end of the first Menehuni Mike cocktail... There used to be a Vic's knock-off in Montreal called the Kon-Tiki (next to Ben's Deli, for those familiar with Montreal), but I only once looked in the door before my lounge-enlightened days... what a waste - it was shut down in the early 80s, I believe.

I've been looking for this orchestral "production music" stuff for a couple of years and thought I may never find a recording of it. These are great CDs, with my only complaint being they're a little on the short side (about 35 minutes each). The sound quality is truly amazing. Hooray for Music for TV Dinners! Does anyone know of any other similar releases out there? Will there be another volume in this series?

Sure its not known as TV Dinner music and the very existence of the concept is owed to the creativity of the producers, but its there for all to have! And it sounds damn good too. Secondly, imagine producing such an esoteric product from conception to distribution. The amount of work licensing, locating, remastering, running off, producing art-work for, and distributing such a product is immense. Companies like these often labor out of love and see little profit. I only hope we see much more Scamp product.

They can have a fantastically interesting sound but it never changes.

Moritz, Do you know anything about the guy/guys that designed the Trader Vics in Germany? I've heard it was a norvegian (don't remember his name) who got in contact with the polynesian culture when sailing the Kon Tiki along with Thor Heyerdahl. Do you know anything about this? Magnus, who currently is re-reading Heyerdahls first book Fatuhiva and once again eager to travel to the Marquesas Islands... And who found some nice calypso LPs today at my lunchbreak.

By my current standards of taste, the food was a war crime: the house specialty was steak and hushpuppies (aka "gut-grenades"). My sister and I collected the little plastic spears that were stuck in the meat when it came all steaming & drippy to the table. These were color-coded: red, rare; pink, medium and either green or yellow for well-done. But the ambience was very ra-sha-sha. BW > >Wow!

We had a Peter Pan's in Albuquerque when I was a little kid (early '70s, same as you) but I don't remember ever being inside it and it closed probably around '71 or '72. - -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo) ::: Internet Music Wantlists: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo/Wantlists # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Mar 1998 20:04:53 +0100 From: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) Annotated Playlist Fantastica # 50 Fantastica runs on Radio Scorpio, FM106, Leuven, Belgium, each Saturday 15-16 h. Fantastica # 50 - --------------- * Les Reed: "Girl On A Motorcycle" [soundtrack CD: "Girl On A Motorcycle"] rated ++++ (very good). lots of weird sounds and unusual instrumentations, arranged very good, excellent melodies, combination of French Francis Lai style (sophisticated, lovely melodies, strings, big orchestratrions) and rock sounds (electric guitars, heavy rhythms). horrible movie BTW IMHO, featuring Marianne Faithfull, so the next track seemed appropriate: * New Classic Singers: "As Tears Go By" [compil. CD: "Ultra-Lounge On The Rocks Part One"] i like it as much, if not _better_ than any of the sung versions by the Stones or Marianne. cd rated +++++ excellent * Yat-Kha: "Solun Chaagai Sovet Churtum" [CD: "Yenisei-Punk"] see my review @ http://bewoner.dma.be/Dada/ * Air: "New Star In The Sky" [CD: "Moon Safari"] * Edward Barton, Featuring Emma: "What Shall We Do Today?" [LP: "Here Is My Spoon"] very weird, folky home-recorded type of stuff. * Doodles Weaver: "Ode To A Loquat Tree" [LP: "The Return Of Feetlebaum"] one of the members of Spike Jones' band, very funny solo LP. * Doodles Weaver, Featuring Pancake Pattie: "Music Goes Round" [LP: "The Return Of Feetlebaum"] sounds very very much like Darlene Edwards * Piero Umiliani: "Samba Mah Na'" [soundtrack LP (CD): "Svezia. Inferno E Paradiso"] ++++++ * Johan Dalgas Frisch: "Sukiyaki" [LP: "Symphony Of The Birds"] combination of rather middle of the road instromentals with bird songs added. odd, funny, beautiful * Ravi Harris & The Prophets: "I Dream Of The Desert Wind MIX" [LP: "Funky Sitar Man"] very funky but a bit too monotonous for me, so i added the sounds of desert birds, desert wind and rattle snake. really exotic! * Stretch: "Loose Goose" [compil. LP: "Dimensions In Sound Vol. 1"] * Le Groupe Angklung: "Mak Inang (Fragment 2)" [LP: "L'Indonesie"] named after the sound their bamboo instruments are making: klang klung. * Gene Harris: "Higga Boom" [compil. CD: "Blue Break Beats Vol. 2"] * Mort Garson: "Easy To Be Hard" [compil. CD: "Further Inflight Entertainment"] * Mike Simpson: "Takes Two To Tango" [LP: "Discussion In Percussion"] yet another mad space age pop percussion album, though i wouldn't say it's a classic... * The Duke Of Burlington: "Vibrating Harp" [LP: "Pressed Piano"] the vibrating harp is the jaw harp (Jews harp), the same thing used in the next track: * Ennio Morricone: "Per Qualche Dollaro In Piu'" [soundtrack LP: "For A Few Dollars More"] * Winston Wright & The GG All-Stars: "Bonanza" [compil. CD: "The Magnificent Fourteen"] a cd with all (old school) reggae versions of classic film themes. this track is great fun. * Leroy Holmes: "I, A Lover/De Sade" [compil. CD: "Ultra-Lounge Vol. 16: Mondo Hollywood"] not exactly one of the best volumes, but it has some great moments, like this track (CD) = exists on CD the radio pages on my web site: http://bewoner.dma.be/Dada/radioq/radioq.htm Johan Dada Vis quiet@village.uunet.be + dada@bewoner.dma.be # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ End of exotica-digest V2 #68 ****************************
