I like the first half of the book better - very good history and background on Mort Sahl, Jules Feiffer, Lenny Bruce, Dick Gregory, Vaugh Meander, Smothers Brothers .... all those that set the path and did all the gruntwork that allowed National Lampoon to emerge. The second half drags a bit - too much egoism of Hendra's coming through, but it's still nice to hear some of the 'behind the scene' happenings. My favorite image is of John Lennon, leaving the room 'several shades whiter than pale' after first hearing the vicious parody of him titled 'Magical Misery Tour' from the 'Radio Dinner' LP. Hendra also wrote the lyrics for the 'Desiderata' parody ..."You are a fluke of the universe ... you have no right to be here."

The first one, Sacrifice/Primal Rhythm of Life, arrived and the other, Story of Survival/Savage Rite, is on backorder. They're on the UK - Zonophone label (same as Lord Sitar) and dated 1999 with original releases of 1973. The one I got has a mid-price sticker on it. Anyway I've always liked anything I've heard from this group (thanks in large part to Allan) but I can't help thinking from listening to this CD that I've heard a lot of this music either on TV or in films. Does anyone one know what the story is with this band? I have strong suspicions that this is the Les Baxter of tribal music somehow but can't say for sure..

Most of the real gems are from the 60's and little of what I've heard from the later decades is too terribly consistent. I can understand your reference to some of it being "hard to take" but I can say that none of the material on Moritz's tape would qualify as this. We should swap tapes and compare notes! > found some cool french "schlager". what would be the french name? This is France we're talking about so I would think "pop" but pronounced with a distinctly French accent! I don't think "chanson" fits as this is used to describe the more serious vocals of say Piaf, etc. Jean could surely shed some light on this subject but I asssume you're referring to the likes of Jacques Dutronc, France Gall, Nino Ferrer, Francoise Hardy, Serge Gainsbourg, etc. The French were certainly better at this than the Germans but I never knew the German material existed and this was the most surprising part for me. There seems to be an equally huge collection of similar and quite excellent Italian vocal music of this era which I had also never known about. Thanks in large part to Gionni it's been a very happy discovery!

What an LP that is! Actually three of our finest Royal Canadian Mounted Police with guns pointed on the Victorian caped villain who had tied a sheep to a railroad track. A sure sign as any it's a Canadian effort! I thought a bit at first about buying it but the guy at the store said a record like this usually lasts about half an hour and it had been put out not all that long before. The price... about 12 of those overvalued pounds of yours. It's in very good condition visually but has noticeable light surface crackle (even after the Nitty Gritty treatment). Canadian records of this era were known for their inferior quality so I don't know if a cleaner copy could exist! The last time I saw a copy of the first record it was really scratchy and they wanted the equivalent of 8 pounds for it. I'd actually looked at getting it, had it been in bettter condition, for Allan who uses a piece from the group for his intro to Mondo Bongos Of course I haven't come across another copy since! Isn't this always the way... > Heino or the Incredible Bongo Band. Ummmmmmmmm, let me think for a minute. You are going to kill me but... a near mint copy of Rajput & the Sepoy Mutiny - Flower Power Sitar was the second item I picked up... so Heino was really a distant third choice!

He was 74 and had become a rancher and fitness guru after retiring from acting three decades ago. At age 21, Mr. Reeves was 6-foot-1, 215 pounds, with an 18-inch bicep, a 51-inch chest and a 29-inch waist. In 1954 he had small roles in "Athena," a satire of the postwar health craze, and in "Jail Bait," directed by Edward Wood. From 1954 to 1969 Mr. Reeves appeared in 18 movies. The bulk of them were sword-and-sandal epics shot on relatively small budgets.

Discography: http://www2.southwind.net/~markw/barry/disco.html Moss Side Story is great, especially the CD which has about 4 extra tracks. Oedipus Schmoedipus is pretty good too, but I haven't heard anything else he's done. His last album got good reviews (As above so below), and the last on the list appears to be a 'greatest hits'. # 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, 05 May 2000 11:43:09 -0400 From: "m.ace" Subject: Re: (exotica) recomendations? >the topic. i am wondering if any one can recomend a good soul/r&b box set.

Can;t remember the labels it features, but it's all pretty raw sounding, with good instrumentation, like vibraphones etc. As Jack Diamond used to say, "All Killer, no filler!". There's another by the same people called 'The Cream of Northern Soul' but have yet to find it lower than about 18 quid. There's also a couple of compilations on Music Club, one called something like 'Cooler Shakers! 30 northern soul foot stompers' and one called something like '20 Northen soul floor shakers' - again both very good, although the 30 song one has the edge. Got these for 5 quid each in Oxford St HMV, btw. Two Motown volumes of unreleased stuff, (including Frank Wilson's 'Do I love you', once sold for 20,000 UKP alledgely) called 'This is Northern Soul Vols 1 + 2' aren't too bad either, but neither are as great as the above comps. The 'For Millionaires Only' (referring to the huge prices of Northern Soul 7"s) comps are supposed to be good too, but I haven't heard them. Moving into more funky territory, a Music Club comp called 'Stone Cold Funk' has some seriously funky stuff, as well as a few Northern soul tracks. Again, another dead cheap one in the UK. Righto, back to work then... # 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, 5 May 2000 11:55:36 -0400 (EDT) From: Lou Smith Subject: Re: (exotica) [obit] Teri Thornton >Teri Thornton >ENGLEWOOD, N.J.

(( anyone ever run across that Creed Taylor lp "Murder Ballads" ? is that vocalist the same guy thats in some of those Morricone ST's ??? .... im re-inspired after seeing "For a Few Dollars More" last night on cable. vocals are good, so are instrumentals. also picked up a copy of The Three Suns country lp recently, "Country Music Shindig". its them alright, but man, it really let me down. im sure none of you guys were silly enough to get your hopes up for it ( I did). does have it's little "moments" though, and in concept, is good enough to keep. .WILL showandtellmusic.com http://showandtellmusic.com/ # 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, 05 May 2000 14:30:41 -0400 From: "Nathan Miner" Subject: (exotica) LP's Damn, ya know I never post about anything I get over the weekend, and I = enjoy hearing from those that do, so I'll try to change that. A short 'n sweet one to start off: Picked up a Christmas album featuring "'Lil Wally, the Polka king" that = featured a tacky "studio-set" living room with the camera shooting from = behind the fireplace logs........and a b/w picture of 'Lil Wally with a = stoopid beard and Santa hat superimposed over it. Well, as much as I wanted my .33 purchase to be a wacky "polka-ized" = version of our much-beloved Christmas standards, what I got was Wally = earnestly bellowing the hits "en traditionale" with a backing chorus. Oh = well......... I vowed to never purchase a polka album, but this had me hoping for = something I should've known wouldn't deliver.

I thought quite possibly, THIS was Northern Soul. NOW that I read a little bit of the pull-out liner notes, I see that "Soul, Inc" were/was the name of 1 band/group, from the UK, mid 60's They recorded for a few different labels and had #'s like "Poppin Good" Part's 1 and 2, "60 Miles High", "Stronger Than Dirt", "Who Do You Love" etc etc etc Is there anyone familiar with this sound or this band who can give me more of a genre classification with what I have told you here ? Italian Import, HEAVY cardboard gatefold cover, HEAVY vinyl NO CD' so it released, so for all you vinyl Nazi's, Like "fill-in-the-blank", this is your ticket to paradise Thanks again!
