Great idea Mganga!

Hi Al and Shelley, I love the album pictures. Where did you get the cool bamboo frames? Sven, I didn't know your Dad started Somerset Records. That is way cool. Below are my answers to the Exotica Vintage LP Poll...............

Fave Covers....

1. Martin Denny; Primitiva
2. Robert Drasnin; Voodoo
3. Les Baxter; Ritual of the Savage
4. John McFarland; Provacatif
5. Masque d'Afrique; Voices of Africa (Bob Keene)
6. Arthur Lyman; Tabbo Vol.2 (Shrunken Head cover)

Favorite LP....

Tie between Les Baxter's "Tamboo" and Robert Drasnin's "Voodoo"

Favorite Artist....

Les Baxter

LP that more people should hear....

Richard Hayman's "Voodoo!"
Dominic Frontiere's "Pagan Festival" (now on CD)
Robert Maxwell's "Shangri-La"
Leo Diamond's "Skin Diver Suite"

Rarest LP in your collection......

Masque d'Afrique; Voices of Africa (Bob Keene) This Del Fi record is even rarer than the Eden Ahbez LP. Especially in great shape.

Les Baxter; Bugaloo in Brazil (rare production music library LP from the U.K on KPM) It took me many years to find this!

Keep this post up. This is all great info for "The Book of Exotica". (shhhhhh Don't tell anyone!)

Mahalo,
Jeff
