Tina Turner, "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll", died last week; Tina was one of my "Immortal Loves" (link below) and, of course, I was devastated.           
 
 
 

When I heard about her death it brought back to mind the wonderful tales Kaisik Wong told me about his fashion adventures, which were many. He worked with such music icons as Betty Davis, wife of jazz musician Miles Davis, Leila And The Snakes, and there was his encounter with Tina and Ike Turner which was at the top of my favorite tales by him.     

I chose this CD to honor her because it's one of my favorite albums by her, she is wearing one of the fashions similar to the those Kaisik designed for her . . .

  . . . one of the songs on the album was produced by Rupert Hine who also worked with Turner on her Private Dancer album, the packaging for the album was totally cool and the music is pretty good as well.

Notes:


Limited Edition Passport Edition.

TINA TURNER Foreign Affair (1989 UK limited edition 12-track CD album including The Best and Steamy Window, in special 7" x 5" (appr. 17 x 13 cm) passport pack with integral 16-page booklet and gold embossed artist/title/logo on the cover).

This edition of Tina Turner's Foreign Affair album is limited. It has the Original album "foreign Affair".
The Presentation of this Limited Edition: It comes in a custom passport design with a designed Tina Turner Coat Of Arms on the cover.

Inside we get the wavy background that reads Tina Turner Foreign Affair, which is repeated just like inside a real passport. No detail is left out here, the passport cover is a Navy Blue/Indigo colour with Gold Colour printing for the titles and Emblem. The back of the front cover has Tina Turner's album Logo in a blasted rosy pink colour, which turns purple towards the right. It also features some lyrics from the title track, in a handwritten style. After the song credits we get a passport details page for Tina Turner with a nice photo and a printed signature. The following pages contain the photographs from the Foreign Affair album artwork shoot.

The complete set is resented here in a scrapbook/photo album feel way. The Middle Page contains the Iconic Image by Herb Ritts that appears on the Foreign Affair Tour Programme and the Steamy Windows Single Cover. The back page has a full-page photograph of Tina. Detail is that the song titles appear over the each of the pages in a passport stamp nature. All individually designed with the credits for the writers, composers and producers within each unique shape.

The Disc comes in a white slip cloth that is housed inside a pocket at the back that you slide the Disc into... So basically a Limited Edition that goes well with the Foreign Affair Concept. An Collector's item that is becoming increasingly rare to find as it has been deleted for many years.

Passport has release number CDP 7 93129 2 and  states "Printed in UK".
Disc has number CDP 7 91873 2 with artwork similar to the regular UK release. CD states "Made in Austria", although it is said there is also a disc with matching passport artwork.

20,000 Vinyl LPs 299: Milva ~ Ennio Morricone, Chi Mai & Sandra Sakata

  ~          
Milva ~ Dedicato A Milva Da Ennio Morricone
vinyl LP front cover


Today is the birthday of Milva who was born on July 17, 1939. I adored this woman and bought every album by her I could find. Although she was Italian most of them were sung in German.    

She did covers of songs that were originally instrumental with lyrics composed for her; my favorites were To the Unknown Man by Vangelis, one of the most dramatic pieces of music ever written sounding nothing like but on the same level as Fanfare for the Common Man by Aaron Copeland, and Chi Mai by Ennio Morricone from the 1981 film, Le Professionnel, the latter being one of the most romantic and wistful songs ever written. Sandra Sakata wanted me to use Chi Mai in many of her fashion shows for her boutique, Obiko.

Milva died three months ago on the 23rd of April, 2021, at her home in Milan, in the north of Italy. She was 81 years old.    
 
Milva was an Italian singer, stage and film actress, and television personality. She was also known as La Rossa (Italian for "The Redhead"), due to the characteristic color of her hair, and additionally as La Pantera di Goro ("The Panther of Goro"), which stemmed from the Italian press having nicknamed the three most popular Italian female singers of the 1960s, combining the names of animals and the singers' birth places. The colour also characterised her leftist political beliefs, claimed in numerous statements. Popular in Italy and abroad, she performed on musical and theatrical stages the world over, and received popular acclaim in her native Italy, and particularly in Germany, where she often participated in musical events and televised musical programs. She released numerous albums in France, Japan, Korea, Greece, Spain, and South America.    

She collaborated with European composers and musicians including Ennio Morricone in 1965, Francis Lai in 1973, Mikis Theodorakis in 1978 (Was ich denke became a best selling album in Germany), Enzo Jannacci in 1980, Vangelis in 1981 and 1986, and Franco Battiato in 1982 and 1986.   

Her stage productions of the Bertolt Brecht recitals and the Luciano Berio operas toured the world's theatres. She performed at La Scala in Milan, at the Deutsche Oper in Berlin, at the Paris Opera, in the Royal Albert Hall in London and at the Edinburgh Festival and many others.

20,000 Vinyl LPs 298: Ottorino Respighi ~ The Pines of Rome, The Appian Way, Fritz & Obiko

 ~           

cover photos photographer unknown 
photo of album cover by Styrous®


Today is the birthday of Ottorino Respighi who was born on July 9, 1879, at 8 Via Guido Reni, an apartment building to the side of Palazzo Fantuzzi in Bologna, Italy
 
My favorite work by Respighi is the Pines of Rome, a four-movement symphonic poem for orchestra completed in 1924. The piece, which depicts pine trees in four locations in Rome at different times of the day, is the second of Respighi's trilogy of tone poems based on the city, along with the Fountains of Rome (1917) and Roman Festivals (1928). The Pines premiered on the 14th of December in 1924 and although Respighi wrote wonderful operas and ballets it is this trio of music for which he is primarily remembered. The Pines is an amazing orchestral work to hear and especially to see (the tympani player is a knockout!) in a live performance(link below).    
     
I was fashion show production coordinator for the art to wear boutique, Obiko, for over fifteen years. The shows always ended with a bridal section that opened with a procession of ten or more bridesmaids and Mother-of-the-Bride fashions with the Bride entering last. I always avoided using traditional wedding music for it and Sandra Sakata, the owner of Obiko, loved that!     
 
Sometime in the early eighties I used the fourth movement from Respighi's Pines work, The Pines of the Appian Way, performed by Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, for the bridal section; it was recorded at the pinnacle of Reiner's career and is a stunning version of the work. The movement is Respighi's representation of the past glories of the Roman Empire and begins VERY quietly with tympani, double bass and piano establishing a moderate speed march beat, then woodwinds enter and an oboe creates an exotic, almost Scheherazade-like touch (perhaps from his studies in Russia with Rimsky-Korsakov) followed by brass all of which build to a grand finale that is utterly glorious (link below). It was the perfect ending for the show.       
 
The Appian Way (Via Appia) was named after Appius Claudius Caecus, who was the Roman censor that began and completed the first section of a military road in 312 B.C. His nickname Caecus was given to him in his old age when he lost his eyesight.    
 
 
 
The road was constructed for creating a fast communication between Rome and Capua, which is near Naples. The Appian Way began at the Circus Maximus and passed along the Baths of Caracalla, and eventually, the Aurelian Wall. Its distance was 132 miles and it took 5 to 6 days to travel it. The Appian Way was revolutionary for that period of time and was the first Roman road to feature the use of lime cement.

Masanori Takahashi (Kitaro), Sandra Sakata & Kaisik Wong

 ~   
date & photograsphe unknown
 
     
Yesterday was the birthday of Kitaro, who was  born Masanori Takahashi in Toyohashi, Aichi, Japan. He was a major influence on Sandra Sakata of the art to wear boutique, Obiko, and art to wear fashion designer, Kaisik Wong (links below).     
 
Kitaro is a graduate of Sahid University. Kitarō, which is his boyhood name meaning "man of love and joy", a practicing Buddhist himself, was born in a family of Shinto-Buddhist farmers. After graduating his parents were first opposed to the idea of their son having a musical career. In an effort to maneuver him towards their vision, they made arrangements for him to take a job at a local company. In return, he did not show for the job without telling them, and managed to convince them to work on something he loved.      
 
In high school Kitarō played electric guitar in a band that played American rhythm and blues of Otis Redding and covers by The Beatles. After graduating, and learning to play drums and bass, Kitaro moved to Tokyo to experience and become a part of the music scene, and it was there that he discovered the synthesizer. His first synthesizer was analog, and he recalls having "just loved the analog sound that it made compared to today's digital sound".      

In the early 1970s he changed completely to keyboard and joined the Japanese progressive rock band Far East Family Band and recorded four albums with them. While in Japan and Europe in 1975, he met the German electronica and former Tangerine Dream member Klaus Schulze. Schulze produced two albums for the band and gave Kitaro some tips for controlling synthesizers. In 1976, Kitaro left Far East Family Band and travelled through Asia (China, Laos, Thailand, India).        

He lived in Ward, Colorado, on a 180-acre (72.85 hectare) spread and composed in his 2500-square-foot (230 m²) home studio "Mochi House" (it is large enough to hold a 70-piece orchestra).[20] Around 2005, they relocated to Sebastopol, California.        
 
Kitaro won the Grammy Award for Best New Age Album for Thinking of You (1999), with a record 16 nominations in the same category. He received a Golden Globe Award for the original score to Heaven & Earth (1993).

Masanori Takahashi, better known as Kitaro is a Japanese recording artist, composer, record producer, and arranger noted for his electronic-instrumental music. Although he is often associated with and regarded as one of the most prominent composers of new-age music, I refuse to put him in that category; he is much, much more.

This is one of very many vinyl LP albums of mine that belong in my special category, “Just the cover, ma’am” (link below).   
 
I discovered Kitaro in the late seventies when he began his solo career; I remember the first album of his I found was Ten Kai.

I used the cut Beat from it for the first fashion show I did for Obiko in 1980 (link below), the art to wear boutique owned by Sandra Sakata in San Francisco (links below). The show was a tribute to Art Deco artist, Erté. I used some of the music from Ten Kai for the segment that featured the surreal fantasy designs by Kaisik Wong (link below) with stunning results.

On the 14th of May in 1987 I produced a fashion show at the Marco Polo Showroom, in San Francisco, California, for JEANNE-MARC and Obiko to benefit the Fiberworks Center for the Textile Arts in Berkeley; unfortunately, the Center closed later that year after the fashion show.  
 
On the 7th of May, during the production planning for the fashion show, Kitaro, who was a friend of Sandra's, came to the Obiko showroom. I knew he was goinig to be there, so, of course, couldn’t help but bring one of his albums for him to autograph . . .

. . . which he graciously did!

Kitaro was Sandra's favorite composer to use for her fashion shows and I utilized his work in every one I could. The last show I produced for her and Obiko was on September 4, 1997. She died two weeks later on September 21, 1997. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of her.
