It attempts to find the original first recorded version of wellknown songs, the current edition boast more than 7,000 detailed entries. To boot they have a website up at www.originals.be but alas so far it is only in Dutch (an English version is promised) and it seems to be used for additions on the new edition.

This replaces the poor condition copy I own. "Authentic Jamaican Calypso" 10" on MRS Records. This is great! One side each by Lord Messam and His Calypsonians and Babba Motta and His Orchestra. This must be an old disc as the notes mention that they have over 40 titles on 78 rpm records. Fred Kaz - "Eastern Exposure" Atlantic Records. A nice jazz release with Arabic/Exotic flourishes. Leon Redbone - "On The Tracks". Roger Miller - "Golden Greats". When I was a kid, I loved his songs and still do. They're all here: "King of the Road", "Dang Me" and "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd".

I just got this very cool record (via ebay, the worst and best news around). Hefti in Gotham City. Pretty well what you'd expect or hope. Cool instrumentals that aren't from Batman but could have been. And almost every single cut is either very very cool or pretty cool. But the first cut is called "Gotham City Municipal Swing Band" and if I could program the LP to never play this cut again, I would. It's just some crappy marching band piece. I can't give you any other examples right now but I know this isn't the first time I've experienced this. Or the hundredth either. It seems like a lot of records have at least one fake marching band number. Who did they do this for? Did marching band records sell better than I remembered? Or was this something they did because it was fun for drummers?

LOL - it's funny you say that because that was the one track that my buddy (into sci-fi stuff and comic book hereos) went absolutely NUTS for when I found him that album a few years ago. Why? Well, anybody that was living in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 60s / early 70s will recognize that track as part of the opening titles to Bob Wilkins CREATURE FEATURES on KTVU, Channel 2. Bob would play bargin basement horror flicks on his show. Became quite the cult classic. My friend loved Bob Wilkins! Now, tell us about UTDS.

He was 98. His obituary was delayed to research his full role in the creation of the modern image of the werewolf. But "The Wolf Man" was only a drop in a vast outpouring of work that included at least 40 film credits in the United States and 18 in Europe, dozens of novels and hundreds of essays, articles and short stories. His 1943 novel "Donovan's Brain," about a disembodied brain with malicious intentions, became a cult favorite and is still in print. It was produced on radio by Orson Welles and in the 1940's, 50's and 60's was the acknowledged basis for three movies, as well as for perhaps 50 more that appropriated the basic idea, according to Mr. Siodmak's count.=20 Yet it was "The Wolf Man" that was honored with a stamp by the United States Post Office three years ago, and it was that movie Mr. Siodmak chose to commemorate when he picked the title for his autobiography, "Wolf Man's Maker: Memoir of a Hollywood Writer," to be published by Scarecrow Press next month. "In my screenplay I delineated a character that has haunted people's fantasies for 2,000 years," he wrote. He brought to the task a style that caused many to call him the King of B Movies, forever lavishing lycanthropic legend on the hirsute character played by Lon Chaney Jr. "Most of what is today considered standard werewolf lore actually originated with Siodmak in this picture and its two sequels," said the International Dictionary of Films and Filmmakers. "He invented the famous four-line verse (`Even a man who's pure in heart') and the business about silver bullets and full moons." From Mr. Siodmak's perspective, the tale was a metaphor for his own flight from the horrors of Nazi Germany.=20 "I am the Wolf Man," he said in an interview last year in Written By, the magazine of the Writers Guild of America, west. "I was forced into a fate I didn't want: to be a Jew in Germany. I would not have chosen that as my fate. The swastika represents the moon. When the moon comes up, the man doesn't want to murder, but he knows he cannot escape it, the Wolf Man= destiny." Born in Dresden on Aug. 10, 1902, Kurt (as his name was originally spelled) Siodmak began to confide the thoughts of a lonely child to paper at an early age, publishing his first short story in a children's magazine when he was= 9. He worked as a train engineer, earned a doctorate in mathematics and began reporting for a Berlin newspaper. One of his first assignments was an article on the movie that Fritz Lang was secretly producing, "Metropolis"(1926). He and Henrietta de Perrot, who later became his wife, signed on as extras. Mr. Siodmak became part of the German Hollywood, the filmmaking center of Babelsberg in suburban Berlin. There, in 1929, he worked on the film "Menschen am Sonntag," or "People on Sunday," which became known as a masterwork of neorealism even though it predated the neorealism movement.=20 The movie became an instant hit in Germany, and soon Mr. Siodmak and his brother Roger, who directed the film, as well as collaborators who included Billy Wilder, had generous contracts from Erich Pommer, the legendary producer of "The Blue Angel" and other movies. But suddenly the full terror of Hitler obscured everything and became a source of Mr. Siodmak's images of horror. Mr. Siodmak fled to France, then England. In 1937, he joined 1,500 other filmmakers from Babelsberg in Hollywood. His first on-screen credit in the United States was "Her Jungle Love" (1938) with Dorothy Lamour, for Paramount. Then, in 1940, he was hired to work on the screenplay for "The Invisible Man Returns" with Vincent Price. "I fell into a groove," he said. He went on to write a series of highly original films. "I Walked With a Zombie" (1943) is considered a horror film classic, seen by critics as a sly adaptation of Charlotte Bront=EB's "Jane Eyre" set on a Caribbean island= with voodoo, music and zombies. But Mr. Siodmak said he never read the book. In "The Beast With Five Fingers" (1946), Peter Lorre stars in the story of a man at odds with a disembodied hand that tries to strangle him. The other characters cannot see the hand, which in a haunting scene plays a piano. Mr. Siodmak said the hand represented the character's conscience playing tricks on him. Among other films he wrote were "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" (1943), "Son of Dracula" (1943), and "The Magnetic Monster" (1953). Besides "Donovan's Brain," Mr. Siodmak's novels included "Hauser's Memory" (1968), which was filmed in 1970. Two others, "Skyport" (1959) and "City in the Sky" (1974), partly inspired the film adaptation of Ian Fleming's "Moonraker" in 1979. Mr. Siodmak is survived by his wife, Henrietta, and a son, Geoffrey, of Bonsall, Calif. Of all the millions of words Mr. Siodmak wrote, he readily acknowledged that the most famous come from "The Wolf Man": Even a man who's pure in heart And says his prayers at night May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms And the autumn moon is bright. "That four-liner has been attributed to `Gypsy folklore,' " he wrote in his autobiography. "I made it up. That's how folk history is made." http://www.google.com/search?q=3D%22curt+siodmak%22 http://allmovie.com/cg/x.dll?p=3Davg&sql=3DB111676 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=3Dbooks&field-auth= or =3DSiodmak%2C%20Curt/107-2529044-8794961 # 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: 19 Nov 2000 21:58:29 -0800 From: bag@hubris.net Subject: Re: (exotica) marching bands At 09:33 PM 19-11-00 -0500, Alan wrote: >What is it with sixties records and marches?

In the basement of this shop you will find a collection of maybe 500 LPs from the late 50ies and early 60ies of Polynese, Hawaiian, Mexican and Latin music. The prices vary from 15 Danish kroner (US$ 2) to 60 Danish kr (US $ 6). It's the remains of a collection originally maintained by Greve (Count) Christian a member of the Danish royal family!!! It's unusual to see such stuff on these shores - not to speak of the shear number... best regards Niels _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

That's his own version of easy deconstruction, a more messed up, damaged kind of thing akin to what Tipsy does. I might have posted a link to a review of El Baile Aleman I wrote but it's not an article.

Other than the Perez Prado two-fer Voodoo Suite-Exotic Suite that is really amazing and highly recommended, two more Schlageresque gems arrived: Andy Fisher - A Man in the Woods - Best known for Mr. Cannibal, he's a kind of wacky singer/humourist who uses lots of carnival type pipe organ which I'm rapidly finding almost as addictive as those fat Hammond sounds! Twist in Germany - A comp of 60's Twists including Chubby Checker, almost all in German. Its companion - Surf in Germany, is on the next order! The order came with a new catalogue with had among other things two volumes of film music, one by Martin Bottcher and the other Gert Wilden. Also a small section on Indian (American) and John Wayne style western things done in German. Of course now that I've heard Johnny Cash singing I Walk the Line in German nothing surprises me!

No I didn't hear that one. I'd bet he wouldn't have if Greg were with him though! But I can surely relate to this one. Last time we were in Chicago on a stopover we took the train downtown. We transferred trains to go to the North side from downtown but somehow ended up on a westbound train. We got off to switch and go back but realized we would have to go down to the ground and then up to the platform on the other side. When we looked down we saw lots of empty looking buildings and some not so friendly people waiting below on each corner holding up the lamp posts. We got on the next train and went 3 or 4 stops further in the same direction to where we could cross to the other side without leaving the platform! Don't get me started on Detroit...

Moritz sent me a two part (3 hrs each) TV series called Schlagernacht on videotape. One part featured the 60's and the second the 70's. He'd warned me it would make the WFMU "That's Irritainment" tape I have look tame in comparison. Well I've finally got it transferred from PAL and made it through part 1 and what an amazing picture of Germany in the 60's!!! I can now attach an image to many of those songs I've listened to! I suspect the 70's part will bring disco and much higher level of "irritainment" but I'm looking forward to it. I realize that this is tantamount to Chinese water torture for many but for those of you out there (and you know who you are) with like interests, take my word for it.. its worthy of the best of those Jack Diamond superlatives!!!

You may have heard this already, but I just realized that the song that Rob and Laura are dancing to on the episode of the Dick Van Dyke show that has him attempting to keep Laura from watching an interview he did on TV (inhaaaale), is none other than "Mambo Jambo", which I just re-heard on the Ultra-Lounge site. One of the selections that you can hear on the site is the "Peter Gun Suite", which is nice, because I like some of Hennry Manncinni's music.

Some!! ( just kidding) Speaking of Henry Mancini. His only "Exotica" record is "The Versatile Henry Mancini” on Liberty Records. Darrell plays it on his show once in a while. He did make a Hawaiian Record years later on RCA. What’s that like? Is it really too easy? Not a big fan of some of his later stuff. He did a LP with Johnny Mathis and that’s pretty tame. And he did the soundtrack for “The Hawaiian’s” the 2nd Mitchner Hawaii movie with Charlton Heston. That’s nice with only about 2 musical themes. Short. The LP is only about 30 minutes.
