Hot Ptah Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 I heard a cut from this album on a public radio Lounge Music show, and had to go buy a copy. Quote
Hot Ptah Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) Where? How? I put it on a "notify me when" list on ebay, and after a while a vinyl copy came up for auction. It was surprisingly quick, as I recall. I could not find any CD reissue of the album. Broadcasts of the radio show on which I heard a cut from the album may be accessed at www.kpr.ku.edu/retro/ I have discovered several interesting 1950s jazz albums from listening to that show, the Retro Cocktail Hour, with the unique and very knowledgable Darrell Brogden.

Hot Ptah Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 Interesting! What label is it on? I'll have to take it out tonight, when I get home from work, and examine the cover. Quote

flat5 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 So the big mystery is which of the 7 tracks is missing from the above link. Thanks for the link, BTW. Quote
Al in NYC Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) The track list given is in error. There are only 6 tracks. There's no track entitled "Room with Skies." And just to make it all a little weirder, here are some excerpts from the IMDB bio of second side narrator Robert Sorrels: Grizzled, rangy, goateed, silver-haired Hollywood cowboy character actor of the 1960s and '70s who played numerous gunslinger types on film (A Man Called Gannon (1968), Ride to Hangman's Tree (1967)) and TV ("Bonanza" (1959), "Rawhide" (1959)). A bizarre recluse who suffered from a drinking problem in later years, he walked into a Simi Valley bar on July 24, 2004, and shot two customers -- one fatally. He was caught three blocks away by police and arrested for murder. A devotee of yogi exercise and a vegetarian, he professed to believe in non-violence until his sudden murder spree. He was sentenced to 32 years to life in prison. Mr. Sorrels: Edited March 26, 2008 by Al in NYC Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted May 23, 2021 Report Posted May 23, 2021 In case you are not aware, this has been reissued on CD as part of an excellent collection on the El/Cherry Red, titled Exotica Classics. Five LPs spread over two discs. The gems are Polynesia, Frank Hunter's White Goddess, and Miriam Burton's African Lament. Regarding Polynesia, the gems are the two suites on side 2, "Polynesian Suite" and "Japanese Suite," with recitations by Robert Sorrels. https://www.amazon.com/Exotica-Classics-Various-Artists-Collette/dp/B00PO5H8EM/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=exotica+classics&qid=1621790865&sr=8-3 Quote
