They are: "Hot Nips", voll. 1 + 2 (Dolemite); the Norton catalogue defines them, respectively, as: "warped japanese sixties garage combos galore!" (vol. 1) and "still mo' nagasaki nuggets" (vol. 2). Then there's "Slitherama: Monster a Go-Go", with Godzilla on cover (Planet X), which gets rated as "klayzee 60's jap-punk - godzilla size lock & loll" and "Project Blue, vol. 3: Diamonds From The East, Sixties Lost Punk Gems From Hong Kong Bands" (Destination X). All these are pure vinyl only, and the latter is only available from my pal Scanna, who compiled it. As starters I'd suggest: "G.S. I Love You - Japanese Garage Bands of the 60's" and "G.S.

I've had some success with badly scratched CD's by using a very fine automobile "cut and polish" compound. Far cheaper than those CD dedicated formula and the same principle. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work with CDR as the scratches in the clear plastic underside of the disc are the problem not the recorded layer itself.

Thanks, lousmith@pipeline.com ================ Super Audio Face-off: Philips SACD-1000 vs. Sony DVP-S9000ES Consumers face a choice when it comes to next-generation, high-end audio. In one corner are Philips and Sony, the original developers of CD Audio, backing Super Audio CD (SACD). The other corner features the Matsushita camp (Panansonic, Technics, JVC, Onkyo, Denon, etc.), promoting DVD Audio (DVD-A). SACD has one advantage: more software. There are 152 SACDs available for sale today vs. a paltry 17 DVD-A discs, despite Warner Music's high-profile participation. Reason: The DVD-A camp spent the past two years bickering over copy protection, while SACDs won over the most finicky turntable lovers. Though the SACD side claims many of its disks will be two-layer hybrids that can be played on any ordinary CD player, few are available today. Now Philips has released the SACD1000, the first multi-channel player, a key feature trumpeted by the DVD-A camp. By comparison, the recently released Sony DVP-S9000ES only does two-channel audio. The Philips unit features a stylish, sandblasted aluminum design in contrast to the mundane, black faceplate featured on the Sony DVP-S9000ES. Both units play DVD videos, cutting down equipment clutter. The Philips SACD1000 does not support progressive scan output, however, a major drawback. The Sony, on the other hand, doesn't play CD-Rs but has received positive reviews on AudioReview.com. Bottomline: If this war reminds you of the Beta-VHS battle, you're not alone. The winner will be the one offering the most software. Right now, it's a toss-up. If you must have one now, the Sony seems a more viable option. Hedge your bets with a less expensive DVD-A changer. (Also be aware that Sony plans to release a $399 multi-channel SACD-only player in July!) In a future issue we'll look at the ambassadors of the DVD Audio realm. US$2000 Philips SACD1000 (Avail.

Tarses will executive produce the pilot with "Darma & Greg" co-creator Dottie Zicklin, who wrote the pilot, and James Burrows. "Tikiville" is a romantic comedy about a 30-year-old single mother whose life is turned upside down when the father of her child suddenly re-enters her life after a 14-year absence. The series, set in south Florida, will switch back and forth between the couple's current relationship and their days as teen lovers. Other networks, including FOX, were interesting in the series, but NBC wrapped a deal for the pilot Wednesday. In related news, The WB has greenlit a remake of the '70s Saturday morning classic "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl." While the old ABC version was about two magazine reporters, the new version will feature a young college student going to Las Vegas, where she finds Electra Woman and soon becomes her Dyna Girl. - ---------- lousmith@pipeline.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: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 01:25:02 +0100 (CET) From: "Magnus Sandberg" Subject: Re: (exotica) sacd vs. dvd-a citerar nytab@pipeline.com: > > OK, I stole the following from today's Iconocast Prosumer e-letter.

I have a laserdisc player, and a dvd player, I buy movies, some are not on DVD so I try to find the laserdisc, if there was one. For people who love movies dvd is ultimate, not only does it look and sound great, the care that they put in for the rerelease on dvd is amazing, old films looks like new, and they try to fit the whole movie onto the screen, not just selected pieces of it. For a guy who have seen a lot 3:rd or 5th generation pan and scan videotapes, dvd is something of a miracle, it almost feels like watching the movie at a cinema. the experience is like seeing the movie for the first time. When it comes to music I feel more at home with LPs, it is optimal for me, just enough tracks on each side, and you remember where the good tracks are. CD is impossible, it is too many tracks. DVD audio sounds like a nightmare. How much maybe 10 hours of music. No, not for me, I will stick to vinyl and an occasional homemade CDr. I think you are cool Lou, pay no attention to these people, they have sold their soul to the digital demon. like nearly all have. Me included. The turks who make carpets, they now the secret, to perfect is a violation to God. Something must be wrong in everything you make. The mistakes are sacred. Digital faults is just not pretty, not at all pretty.

Surprisingly the Encore Western Channel was showing "The Americano" that day. I tuned in just in time to see her do a long version of "El Americano," first the song and then a long dance number with a smoking rhythm section. The IMDB credits Cugie with this song and gives a score credit to Roy Webb, my favorite overlooked genre film composer. Didn't look for Cugie or a chihuaha, I was too busy waiting for Abbe's peasant blouse to fall further down her shoulder, but of course it was 1955 so fergeddaboutit. Because of my fortunate timing, I was able to skip the rest of the movie. BTW MGM is putting out a lot of reasonably priced ($10 to $15 MSRP) bare bones DVD's in its "Soul Cinema" and "Midnight Movies" series like Man From Planet X and Wild Angels. Word is the video transfers and sound are not always great, but check www.mondo-digital.com or your favorite cult sites for reviews. And I just got Boorman's jungle-eco-nudie-exotic "Emerald Forest" in today's mail, yessss, pass that peace pipe and fly like an eagle. Also the very eclectic Roan Group sold its DVD catalogue to Troma, which is having a 75% sale on Roan DVD's, many as low as $4.99. (horror, noir, westerns, pre-code, serials). US shipping is $7 per order plus $1.50 per item, but its still a deal if you buy 5 or 6. Don't know about international shipping. There was a one week sale last week, and it was just reinstated today. Move quickly if interested. Time for me to get White Zombie and the gorilla-flick "Nabonga" with an 18 year old Julie London that I passed on last week because there was a Ritz Bros movie on the same DVD. I rented and was not impressed enough to buy by King Vidor's exotica-themed but rather dull 1932 Bird of Paradise, although iirc it was Max Steiner's first full score, and foreshadowed his work for King Kong released the next year.

Went for some BBQ at a nearby small town, detoured for record hunting at the local antiquaries and there it was: White Goddess, Frank Hunter's uber-exotica LP on Kapp. WG has come up here from time to time, usually when we talk about Holy Grails, overlooked exotica classics, or ondiolines and bazimbas. Now I get why--sublimely sexy and downy as a cloud. Am mystified though: I thought Kapp was a budget label, albeit not as low rent as Modern, Somerset, Tops, etc. Kapp brings to mind marching bands slogging through covers of show tunes. Am I wrong here? How did an LP this fabu end up on this label? Was WG a re-release from an exotica powerhouse such as Liberty? Or was it a divine exception in Kapp's catalog? Are there other worthies on Kapp? Now the killah. Guess what I paid: $1. The vinyl is, hmm, how about "well-played"? Still...good stuff is out there and sometimes cheap if you just keep looking.

It is still a cheap way of getting a piece of art. Look at all other antiques, be lucky you dont collect first editions or paintings from 1500.

I've wanted White Goddess ever since I heard a track from it on King Kini's site several years ago (Kini's got to take the "Temporarily Out of Order" signs off of his playlist page--they're never comin' back up). Thanks go out to Darrell for playing a track from it on last week's show. I never thought of Kapp as being a budget label. I don't collect them, by any means, but as far as I know all of Roger Williams albums were on Kapp, and Kapp had a fairly nice "high-end" series (Gold Medallion) with the requisite brass and percussion complement. There's a swinging album by Al Caiola et al on that label (if I'm not mistaken, a smidgen of doubt creeps in as I write) called "My Fair Lady on Fire" with spiced-up versions of the musical's numbers.

We are all complicit in the hiked up prices we gripe about and pay. What's the big deal about the guy turning a profit on us compulsively competitive bidders? Or thanking us for the fact? Was there some evil or aristocratic condescension in his reply that I missed? His note read as basically friendly if not, to use another name caller's term, "passionate" introduction. Maybe it's just me, but that's ok. - --- Colleen Pyles wrote: > Brian wrote: > >!) > Is it just me or does the word 'asshole' spring to > mind??? > Actually Brian, I thought "pretentious fop", but > "asshole" works also. > Colleen ===== "Grunt Big for Daddy." - - Thomas Paine __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

My Frank Hunter-White Goddess plays and sounds as great as the day it was made, congrats on that score!! it is indeed in the Top 10 in my exotica collection. - -jonny _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.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: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 06:43:47 -0800 (PST) From: Ben Waugh Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: Japanese 6Ts Group Sounds Right you are, sir. I sheepishly concur. I think I just regurgitated some of that canned sensibility they used to feed us in school. I'm curious about Cambodia Rocks also.... I enjoy reading their product description... reminds me of the conversations my jr high pals from Hell's Kitchen and I used to have. And, as you might guess, Norton is the only catalog I can't be without. - --- Giovanni Berti wrote: > > Tasteless?

How about tv and movie tie-in Corgi Toys, GI Joes, Nutty Mads or any of the other toys most of us played with from the 60's? Or baseball cards and comic books? Records prices are a bargin! we flew in from NYC last night, so, bleary eyed, I skimmed over some exotica postings before night night. This one caught my eye. :( This morning I re-read Mr. Usselman's post and see nothing in it at all that deserves being called an asshole. He's right, it's the buyers that set the prices on ebay. This idea that sellers are "jacking up the prices" is baloney, that's not the way it works. Sure, there are some that set minimums high, or use reserves, but 90% of the sellers kick it off under ten bucks and let the buyers decide. We always seem to forget about all the large number of records that never receive a bid or are sold to a single bidder. Like the near mint Mike Simpson "Jungle Odyssey" I got for three bucks. :) I'm with U, Mr. U. # 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: Thu, 01 Mar 2001 10:05:06 EST From: DJJimmyBee@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Ooh Ooh!

OK, care to explain how reading a list for over a month, listening to (and enjoying) a lot of music that's mentioned here on the list, and posting some items for sale in a public marketplace is equivalent to that? I didn't advertise items for sale on this list and I didn't solicit bids on my auctions. I posted my original note to thank the list members for their interest...just that and nothing more. "sneaky fuck"? Anyone who reads the list without posting is a "sneaky fuck"? Some very stranger perceptions here... I'm not going to lower myself and get into a name-calling flame war here. I'll continue lurking and learning and leave you folks to your little exclusive group. Have fun.
