Sonny Lester, his orchestra & chorus "Comment faire la danse du ventre pour votre mari" Disques Vogue (Mode Serie), 196?

Finally, after nearly three weeks without an update, i'm back with a full LP.
This is the second twist in my "european only" rule, after Les Baxter's Percussions Tropicales, here is Sonny Lester's "Comment faire la danse du ventre pour votre mari". Once again, this is the french pressing on the Vogue "Mode Serie" label.
You may have heard about this one under its original title "How to bellydance for your husband". I was expecting some cheesy fake Middle East music when i picked it for cheap in a fleamarket but when i dropped the needle on it, what i heard was an excellent LP full of Jazz tunes with a hint of Exotica.

If you feel the need for more Sonny Lester's music, Ben T has posted his How to strip for your husband LP a couple of weeks ago.


See you soon !

Various Artists "Le boom boom ! vol.2, more french exploitation beats from the sixties"

Here is the second volume of Le boom boom ! When i put the first volume online about two weeks ago i didn't expect such an interest into these long lost french sixties artifacts, but more than 25 comments and 400 downloads later (up to this day), i must admit that this interest is real.

You already know what you will find inside these folders, you'll find more Twist, more Hully Gully, one Madison/Twist and something that was taken out of the first sampler, The Surf.
In addition to some really good James Award orchestra tracks (check "Transcontinental" or "Tanganyka Twist" and tell if there are not prime examples of early sixties Shake/beat at its best) and what i suspect to be James Award orchestra in disguise (Pat Field 's excellent "Cincinnati Twist"), you will find tracks by some famous names like Eddie Warner (IM Library label headmaster), Claude Bolling or Jean-Claude Pelletier.
I have also decided to include in this "45rpm only" compilation, three tracks from an LP that was released in 1962 on a big label known worldwide as RCA Victor. Why ? Because we are talking about three killer tracks composed and recorded by someone whose records are gaining a growing attention, his name, Armand Migiani and his "Migiani Grand Orchestre".

I hope you will like this one and as usual, high resolution cover scans of all the records i used to make this sampler are included in the folder..
