A good day at the record store! last visit I listened to four expensive library records and none of them were interesting enough to even consider. Today was much better: The Three Suns - Fever & Smoke - Been looking for a good copy of this one a long time. All I ever came across before were beat up copies. Werner Mueller - Tanz Party 68 - The cover caught my eye, plus of course the name. None of the big beat numbers but a medium beat version of Fiddler on the Roof which is quite the thing, along with some powerhouse latin sounds sold me. At CDN$2.98 how could I refuse? Rick Powell - Switched on Country - Passed on this one before as it was too expensive but at CDN$2.98 and reasonably clean, I decided to go for it. The best version of "I Walk the Line" I ever heard, ie Moog.. Even outdoes Johnny Cash's version sung in German! Did someone once mention he did "The Plasic Cow Goes Moog? But the big find was some new product: Two compilation volumes, vinyl only, and serious stuff!!! The tites are "Ouh la la!!..." (Volumes 1 & 2) and the label is "Cosmogol". They come from France, obviously, as there is no language other than French on them and I've never seen them before let alone heard of the label. Not a bad track on either one in fact not any one less than amazing at that! These things are in the vein of the first Nymphomania and Inflight Entertainment series comps and they blow Ultra Chicks right out of the water! These records have it all for you groovy now sound fans so if you see them offered do not hesitate! Legitimacy is, as always questionable given the lack of notes, but the good news is the sound quality is superb! Many of these names I don't recognize but I suspect these are originals you ain't never going to see anywhere too soon... Sure I have a few tracks off of volume 1 but... They sold here for CDN$20 each but that's no more than a domestic CD sells at. The store only got in two copies of each. Here's a list of tracks: Volume 1 Syd Dale: Disco-Tek Michael Viner's Bongo band - Bongolia Peter Beasson - Top Signal Two Werner Mueller - Bodybuilding Armando Troviaioli - Sesso matto Peter Beasson - Choro Belingo David Whitaker - Strip Poker at Caesar's Palace L. Muller - Steve Says Gary Burton - Vibrafinger Steve Gray - Soft Soled Shoes Jacques Hendrix - Haunted House The Barigozzi Group - Silver Legs Les Baxter - Psychedelic Senate Volume 2 Peter Laine et les nanas - Keep Movin' Jean Cournoyer et son orchestre - Venus Andre Brasseur , son orgue et ses rythmes - Cathedral Travelling Orchestra - Depart de nuit Soundsational Birds & Brass - Mexican Fiesta The Juergen Franke Sextet - Brother Michael Don Diego et son orchestre - L'amour qui tourne autour de nous Ambiente erotico - The Party Luc Harvey et les requins - Nothing To Do Ray Martin and his Orchestra - Flash! There Goes Gordon! The Golden Pot - Motive Xaba - Emavungwini Ju Ju Sound - Voodou The Living Seafood - Gravy Samnolence Its not the first series of vinyl only comps to come from France. Two others worth looking out for are the three volumes of "Ils sont fous ces gauloises" and two volumes of "Swingin' mademoiselles", all vinyl only and all limited pressings. I'm not sure if all of them are even available anymore as I couldn't find a copy of "Ils sont fous... - vol"1 even in Paris.

Thats Scottish! It means its a very cold moonlight night. The other one (Theres a moose loose aboot this hoos) is a reference to a rodent rather than an elk. I'd say it was more wild early sixties rock'n'roll than go-go music. The saxophone (which, massively overblown leads the whole track) was played by Bennie Green, who typically thought very little of it. It was quite a big band of session musicians who thought the whole 'pop' and 'rock and roll' thing quite beneath them. BTW the (XI) Eleven is probably a reference to Cricket. Its a blast, and one of my dad's favourite records.

Edmundo Ros doing Sound of Music (or, for that matter, Hair, which I've never heard) or, better yet, Jose Quijano's "Fiddler on the Roof Goes Latin." It's a surprisingly good album, in my opinion, and the mix of latin rhythm and East European melody manages to work. I suppose you can "Latinize" just about anything, but does anybody know of other bizarre combinations like this?

Is it simply generic instrumental sitar pop or is there an edge of quality lurking underneath? I've got this one and have uploaded 4 one minute MP3's for you to check out as well as the cover: http://www.basichip.com/covers/folkswingers.jpg Since there are only a handful of instrumental sitar pop albums that I know of, I'm not sure where you draw the line between generic and having that edge of quality. Rajput and the Sepoy vs Big Jim Sullivan or Lord Sitar, I assume.. I'd recommend this Folkswingers LP - it's on World Pacific (WPS-21846). Personal includes: Sitar - Harihar Rao Dennis Budmir - Electric 12 string (did a record called The Creeper on Mainstream) Tommy Tedesco, Howard Roberts, Herb Ellis - Guitar Hal Blaine - Drums Tracks include the usual commonly covered Paint It Black, Eight Miles High and Norwegian Wood.

This rare MPS recording features the totally obscure vocal group The Third Wave -- five Philippino sisters from California who were discovered and produced by George Duke. The band has this amazing breathy vocal style -- similar to work by 60s groups like the Swingle Singers, Anita Kerr Singers, or Les Double Six -- but a lot more hip! Roger Nichols & The Small Circle Of Friends -- Complete Works Of Roger Nichols & The Small Circle Of Friends . . . A&M (Japan), Late 60s Some of the grooviest LA pop you'll ever find! If you're a fan of late 60s LA sweet pop -- artists like Harper's Bizarre, The Sandpipers, or post-Pet Sounds Beach Boys -- you'll really dig Roger Nichols & The Small Circle of Friends. The style is sweet A&M vocal pop -- with an emphasis on groovy harmonies in a male/female style that reminds us of We Five or The Free Design, but hipper Thanks for any comments on these Also while there, I saw the Sweden's answer to Sergio Mendes, The Gimmicks, usually pretty hard to find.

Thats Scottish! It means its a very cold moonlight >night. The other one (Theres a moose loose aboot this hoos) is a reference >to a rodent rather than an elk. Thank you for the information on the record! I wouldn't have picked up on the Cricket reference (nor would I have known that the flip, "Oh, Boy" was a theme to a TV show). I still don't think it very common to have a Rock 'n' Roll record to have a Robert Burns quote stuck in the middle of it, for which the music comes to a complete stop for. It reminds me of a version of "Not Me" by Gary "U.S." Bonds, which has similar pauses (someone badly imitating a woman, as if they couldn't find one near the studio, saying, "Come on over baby, let's do the Madison", followed by another voice saying, "What about your boyfriend called Battlin' Jim?"). That is what I found odd, not the fact that the vocals were in Scottish. I am a teetotaler, but NOT a Scot-basher. I even watched part of "The 39 Steps" this morning, and...and...yeah.

The Robert Burns' phrase ("Its a braw brecht moonlecht necht") was a very common and well known one at the time, used by anyone wanting to signify/parody Scottish identity. Actually, lots of rock 'n' instrumentals have similar breaks for vocal exclamations/phrases (admittedly not usually drawn from Scottish poets). - -- Dr. Chris R.

I can almost guarantee he'll ship it Media Mail for $1.50 or so and pocket the additional $3.50 as his profit. The one flaw in this clever scheme is nobody in their right mind is going to bid on this garbage, even if it was free! Looks like this guy is going to be out his 30 cent listing fee per album, his time, and whatever pittance he paid for that box of trash. He's not rocket scientist material, for sure....

Well, I wouldn't call it unscrupulous (being charitable and leaving aside the overuse of "RARE") -- the seller is detrimentally honest about the condition of the records and covers. And the shipping charge is there in big ol' CAPITAL LETTERS along with everything else. It's just a remarkably, er, optimistic batch of postings. I still half wonder if it isn't an experiment in buyer behavior. - --m.ace # 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, 19 Apr 2001 22:14:56 -0400 From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) [obits] Jeanette Salvant Kimball, Alfred Moen, Giacomo Gentilomo Jeanette Salvant Kimball http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=3Damg&sql=3DBxc7uak8kgm3k http://www.google.com/search?hl=3Den&lr=3D&safe=3Doff&q=3D%22Jeanette+Salvan= t%22 New Orleans pianist who played Dixieland jazz with key bands for 70 years Peter Vacher Friday April 20, 2001 The Guardian Early jazz bands in New Orleans would often select women pianists to play for them during the music's formative years. A skilled reader who could provide the correct harmonic foundation for the other (male) instrumentalists, yet still be clearly heard, was a definite asset. Jeanette Kimball, who has died aged 94, fitted this description perfectly, her excellent musicianship and solo capability kick-starting a remarkable career, which spanned 70 years and took in some of the formative names of the New Orleans circuit. Jeanette Salvant was born in Pass Christian, a small town near New Orleans, into a family with strong French Creole ties. She took piano lessons at the age of seven, and played in church and at school events. She said later that she "lived at the piano - my teacher couldn't keep me in lessons". Classically trained yet adept at improvisation, when she was only 11 she was teaching other children and adults. She went on to perform professionally at weekends with a local string band, but was drawn to jazz when she heard visiting groups from New Orleans in the streets of her home town. In 1926, she joined Celestin's Tuxedo Orchestra (so-called because its members always wore evening dress), travelling throughout the Southern states, playing prestigious white dance jobs and carnival balls. The orchestra's style secured it a position as a "society" orchestra suited to "polite" occasions - worlds away from the rough-and-ready jazz bands who performed in the Crescent City's dives and clubs. Celestin specialised in well-structured arrangements, clean execution and a danceable beat, with room for "hot" solo extemporisations. Commended for her "ladylike presence", the demure Salvant thought it all "wonderful". She stayed on when Celestin turned his nine-piece into a touring big band, participating effectively in the band's recordings. In 1929, she met and married the banjoist and guitarist Narvin Kimball while both were playing with Celestin, and in 1935 came off the road to raise her daughters. When the marriage foundered, she retained her married name, devoting herself to her family and to her continuing musical career. At home in New Orleans, she began to teach again and then moved into local club work in the mid-1940s, playing at the Dew Drop Inn with the Buddy Charles band, which often included trumpeter Dave Bartholomew, best known as the musical mentor of bluesman Fats Domino. She was also hired to play with the city's best big bands, run by trumpeters Herb Leary and Sidney Desvignes, and commenced a long association with the Holy Ghost Catholic Church as organist and choir director. When the traditional jazz revival got under way in the 1950s, Papa Celestin re-emerged to head a popular jazz group (still called the Tuxedo Band although the dress code had changed) and Jeanette Kimball was reunited with her old leader. She continued to play Dixieland jazz throughout the ensuing decades, staying with Celestin's unit and its successor, run by Papa French, before playing for the tourists with the famed Preservation Hall Jazz Band. In her latter years, she was a member of expatriate British trumpeter Clive Wilson's Original Camellia Jazz Band, and recorded reward ingly for his New Orleans label. "Her style of syncopation would really drive the band," Wilson said. In 1998, she was given the Black Men of Labor Jazz Legacy Award. Prompted by her daughters, she left New Orleans for good in the late 1990s, sharing her time with them in Ohio and South Carolina. She is survived by her former husband, her daughters and their extended families. =95 Jeanette Salvant Kimball, jazz pianist, born December 18 1906; died= March 29 2001 - ----------- CLEVELAND (AP) - Alfred Moen, whose invention of a single-handle faucet led to the creation of Moen Inc., one of the world's largest producers of plumbing products, has died. He was 86. Moen came up with the idea for a single-handle faucet in 1937 after he turned on a two-handle faucet and burned his hands. Moen sold the first single-handle faucets in 1947. Today more than 70 percent of kitchen faucets sold in the United States are single-handle, according to the company. Moen held more than 75 patents and headed the company's research and development group until his retirement in 1982. "Al Moen was a giant in the plumbing industry. The conveniences many of us enjoy in our homes today came from the ideas of this gentle, inventive man," said Bruce Carbonari, Moen's chairman and chief executive officer. - --- http://www.google.com/search?q=3D%22Giacomo+Gentilomo%22 http://allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=3Davg&sql=3DB91278 Tuesday, April 17, 2001 From today's L.A.
