HITS OE THE WEEK(0, THE CHI-LITES, "THE COLDEST DAYS OF MY LIFE"

(Julio -Brian, BMI). It was hard toimagine the Chi-Lites coming up

with anything to match their stun-ningly beautiful "Oh Girl," butsomehow Eugene Record & Co. havedone it. Highlighted by a hauntingstring arrangement, it's another No.1 hit. Brunswick 55478.

AL GREEN, "I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU" (Jec,

0 BMI). Artist than whom there isnone hotter will keep his stringintact with another mellow millionseller. Green's unique voice andWillie Mitchell's flawless produc-tion simply can't be beat. Hi 2216(London).

TODD RUNDGREN, "COULDN'T I JUST TELL YOU"(Earmark Screen Gems - Columbia,BMI). If you liked "I Saw the Light"(and who didn't?), you'll love"Couldn't I Just Tell You." Fromsong to production to performance,all by Todd Rundgren, it's fantastic.Superbly Beatlesque, and hitboundfor sure. Bearsville 0007 (WarnerBros.).

COMMANDER CODY AND HIS LOST PLANET AIR-MEN, "BEAT ME DADDY EIGHT TOTHE BAR" (MCA, ASCAP). Far outand musically excellent group, a

far cry from usual top 40 fare,found themselves in the top 10

with "Hot Rod Lincoln." If thatcould make it, so can this barroom boogie. Paramount 0169.

aGARNET MIMMS, "STOP AND CHECK YOURSELF" (a

(Lorijov Greenflower, BMI). "CryBaby" guy is back on the scene, ocisans Enchanters, with a funky treat ;4that will keep 'em dancing all sum-mer. Great vocals, rhythm track.Watch it move. GSF 6874.

DR. JOHN,

41110

"WANG DANG DOODLE" (Arc, BMI).Artist has been into some terrificmusical things lately. First therewas his superb "Gumbo" album,and now, live from the Mar y SolFestival, a right on version of theWillie Dixon tune. Dig the guitarsolo, played by Dr. John himself.Atco 6898.

TRAVIS WAMMACK, "WHATEVER TURNS YOU ON"(Fame, HMI). Heavy sounds withemphasis on a danceable beatshould make this a big summerdiscotheque juke box item. Pro-duced by Rick Hall. Fame 91001(United Artists).

SMILE, "ONE NIGHT STAND" (Gil, BMI). PromisingCDBritishers have a commercial, to-gether number here, and one which,if given proper exposure, will be

the one to break them in this coun-try. Uni 55336 (MCA).

"ELVIS AS RECORDED AT MADISON SQUAREGARDEN." Rock & roll history was made whenthe King recently played N.Y.C. for the firsttime in his career, and this rush -releasedalbum represents one entire performance.Loud screams for the oldies plus great pro-duction numbers. RCA LSP-4776.

JOHN & YOKO/PLASTIC ONO BAND/ELEPHANT'SMEMORY, "SOMETIME IN NEW YORK CITY."The Lennons, in an attempt to drive somepoints home, simply call the shots as theysee them. Two -record set also features a livejam with Zappa & the Mothers. Outstandingmaterial. Three cheers for NYC. Apple SVBB3392.

CARPENTERS, "A SONG FOR YOU." After toomany near -miss versions, Leon Russell'sclassic, "A Song For You," will finally becomethe hit it deserves to be. Mellow album in-

cludes two recent giants, "Hurting Each Other"and "It's Going To Take Some Time." Duo hasdone it again. A&M SP 3511.

JAMES BROWN, "THERE IT IS." The hardestworking man in show business will score wellwith a typically consistent collection includingfour prior singles and a dynamite "Never CanSay Goodbye." "King Heroin" remains an effec-tive junkie warning, and cover more thanflatters. Polydor PD 5028.

WHY ENOCH LIGHT USES

ENOCH LIGHT's well-earned reputation as a leader in the music world reachesback to the Era of the Big Bands, one of which he led. While other groups of thattime have vanished, the great appeal of Enoch Light and the Light Brigade hasbeen affirmed by their durability through the present.

Light's perceptivity and curiosity about music, extending beyond the imme-diate aspects of performance alone, led him to broaden out into associatedesthetic and technical considerations. As a result, he is identified with mostadvances in the recording industry during the last decade and a half: multi -microphone perspectives, the development and refinement of stereo and the useof 35mm magnetic film for master recording were among them. Many milestonerecordings in both the popular and classical repertories came out of these efforts.

He has been actively experimenting with the four -channel medium forseveral years, and has already produced more than 20 four -channel recordingson his new Project 3 label, following other four -channel discs before launchingthe new label.

SANSUI QS ENCODING.

A renowned trend-setter in the music world, Enoch Light helped spearhead thestereo revolution over a decade ago. And now, as music maker and producer, he'sushering in the four -channel era with his pioneering Project 3 label.

Project 3 prefers to issue a single version of each release, which serves as thecompatible two -channel and four -channel stereo product. Sansui QS Encodingserves this purpose admirably, by placing back -channel information to either side ofthe two front channels, for a broadly spread out, enhanced acoustic perspective instandard stereo reproduction. But that's not the only reason it fits Enoch Light'spurpose.

"To me, four -channel stereo is not just an extension of conventional stereo," saysLight. "It's an entirely new medium with limitless possibilities of its own, and I'mgrateful for the freedom it affords us in experimenting with exciting new sound combina-tions and balances. I'm using Sansui Encoding because I have found it, at the presenttime, to be the most flexible matrix technique from both the artistic and technicalviewpoints."

If you're in recording (or broadcasting), why not find out for yourself what EnochLight has already discovered? Add a Sansui QS Encoder to your present equipmentand put yourself squarely in the four -channel business. Here's what you'll have goingfor you:

LOCALIZATION: Accurate and complete sound -source localization in everydirection without dropouts or cancellations, without shifts in position. No worries aboutplacing performers in certain areas and keeping them away from others.

TOTAL COMPATIBILITY: Sansui QS Encoding is compatible with two -channelplayback of encoded records. With four -channel playback (synthesis) of conventionalstereo records. With other matrix decoders. With all existing home hardware andprofessional equipment. With broadcast equipment - and with present FCC broadcaststandards. Did we leave anything out?

As to broadcasting, by the way, the FM station doesn't even need an encoder onthe premises unless it wants to originate live material or process discrete tape originals.For the rest, all it has to do is play encoded records (perhaps your records?) on itsexisting system to broadcast a decodable signal.

IMMEDIATE DECODABILITY: No need to wait for special decoders to go on themarket later this year or sometime next. Over half a million compatible home decoders,or four -channel systems with such decoders built in, have already been sold and arein use. Sansui alone accounts for over 100,000 such systems decoding and synthesizingin users' homes today..

The Sansui QS Encoder is simple to adjust and to use. Can you afford not to haveone? Try it. Experiment with your own material, in your own way. Learn for yourselfwhat Project 3 has already found out. And ABC -Dunhill. And Ode. And Command.And Impulse. And Ovation ...

your autograph, whatever. They don't want to do anything tohurt you.

RW: Obviously you're busy learning your show and going toschool. How much do you involve yourself in other parts of yourbusiness? Do you know how wealthy you are?

Jackson: I'm not really sure, but there have been a lot of goodchanges since we became well-known, we rehearse more now. Weused to live in a small house, now we have a big one with astudio, and a music room plus some of the things that we alwayswanted. Like we always wanted a basketball court. In Gary, wewould have to walk a couple of miles to a basketball court, butnow we just all go out there and play.

RW: You mention that you rehearse a lot more than you usedto. Did you to rehearse a lot before?

Jackson: Oyeah, all the time. Every day when we came homefrom school. r8 put more interest in it now. My father used tomake us keep going and he put it in our heads that practice makesperfect. Now I understand what he was trying to do.

RW: Are you interested in any other aspects of the recordbusiness?

Jacksonika, would like to produce.RW: Ci htyou describe how your sessions are done?Jacksolt: 'ey take us to the Motown studio to learn the song

first, then theVtake us to the studio where ybu record, and do thesong. It takes ut about 25 minutes to learn the melody. And wego in and do it. 'Doesn't take too long.

RW: Let's say there was a new song. From the first time youhear it until you record it, how long is that?

Jackson: A new song takes a little longer to record. Takesaround two hours, as long as it takes to get the melody. But whenyou get in to record, it's like a different thing, you have to putthis in and that in you know.

RW: In other words, the tracks are cut first?Jackson. Yes, the tracks are cut first and I do my lead, then the

guys come on and we do it all in one day.R* Do you see your self as spending a long career as a

performer?Jackson: Oh yes.RW: With your brothers, or solo?Jackson: With my brothers. I'm not looking forward to solo

work. I'll just keep on going as I have.

Record World: When you goon the road, is there a lot ofsecurity?

Michael Jackson: Oh yeah,when we travel, we have twosecurity agents. but when we dothe show, they surround thestage.

'RW: How would you feel if

RW: Are there any plans for you to go out and do soloconcerts?

Jackson: No, we'll be doing the same thing.RW: Do you look forward to anything else besides music-

movies or writing orJackson: Oh yes, I like to act. I would like to act as well as I

sing, and I like to write songs too.RW: Do you spend a lot of time doing that?Jackson: Oh yeah.RW Have you recorded anything you've written?Jackson: Not yet, I want to save 'em all.RW: What do you think about all the attention you've gotten

since you became a star? Do you have a tendency to keep partof your life private, or do you mind answering questions frompeople like me, or what?

Jackson: No, I don't. I like to. And I know when other peopleare interested in you, they like to know different things aboutyou. Like girls writing maybe to Sixteen Magazine, where theytell them to ask these questions, and they ask it -they're interested.

RW: Is it pretty much always the same question?Jackson: Ah, not really.RW: What sort of things do they ask?Jackson: Oh, like, what do you keep in your pockets.RW: What do you keep in your pockets?Jackson: Money-change and bubblegum, that's all. And they

like to know what you do in your spare time at home.RW: You play basketball?Jackson: And swim, and watch television.RW: What do you watch?Jackson: Flip Wilson, Sanford and Son, the Copycats, cartoons.RW: Do you watch your own show?Jackson: Yes.RW: What do you think of it?Jackson: It's great.RW: Do they have you doing things on that show that you

actually do?Jackson: Right. For a long time, in Gary, I used to watch the

Beatles show. The same guys who did that one do ours and Iused to watch that one all the time. And I was thinking 'if we hada show . . . ,' and it actually came true.

RW: Do you think of your act as some kind of a story bookkind of a . . .?

Jackson: Yeah, I think so.RW: As you travel around the country, do you see any

difference in other kids as compared to you and your way of life?Jackson: Well, I know what it's like because we used to do the

same thing. And every group that's trying now should practiceevery day.

RW: How long did you practice before you were discovered?Jackson: I used to come home from school at three, and every-

thing would be set up in the living room, the drums and all, andwe praticed until night, and we kept on and kept on, and haddifferent meetings and stuff and we used to wonder when will wehave a show. And we did a couple of things for schools and theywere in the paper and a couple of days later we did a talent showfor the mayor and he invited his guest, Diana Ross, who wasvisiting Gary, Indiana, and was a good friend of his, to see it.She liked us and she came back stage and told us that she likedthe act, and she took us to Motown where we auditioned with acouole of numbers and they liked the act too.

RW: How did you learn what to do on stage?Jackson: You learn by watching all kinds of stuff. I learned

to dance by watching, that's all it takes, if you watch really good,you can do it. I watch James Brown all the time, different girlson different television shows. I think it's very important to myact, it makes it more exciting. My father showed us the thingsthat look good, the choreography that we did, and he took us tosome people's shows that we watched, and that helped a lot.

Palmieri's Sing Sing Album Breaks NEW YORK - Eddie Pal-mieri's Tico album, recordedlive at Sing Sing Prison duringa specially arranged concertthere, has become the focalpoint of a major marketing ef-fort at Roulette Records. Break-out activity is being logged inmany areas beyond Palmieri'straditional Latin market, withheavy airplay and repeat salesin New York, New Jersey,Philadelphia, Boston, Balti-more -Washington, Los Angeles,San Juan and Miami.

Among the stations givingconcentrated airplay to the al-bum are: WWRL, WBLS;WEVD, WHBI in New York;WDAS-FM, WMMR and WRTI,Philadelphia; WHUR-FM, Wash-ington, D.C.; XEMO in Los An-geles and many more.

Released in April, initial re-sponse came from Latin andr&b sources, but quickly spreadto a wider audience. The al-bum's social significance wasimmediately grasped by under-ground and college stations,adding to the extensive airplayand contributing to the mush-rooming sales.

Two selections in the albumhave been major factors in itsgrowing popularity. "Jibaro(My Pretty Nigger)," a revolu-tionary poetic recitation byFelipe Luciano, former leaderof the Puerto Rican activistgroup, The Young Lords, hasbeen aired widely both on free-form FM outlets and on AMstations with a progressiveformat.

"Azu car," written by Pal-mieri with an English lyric byJimmy Norman, was originallya 10 -minute cut in the album.Played by FM and area collegestations in New York, a shorterversion soon was requested andhas been supplied to WWRL,WLIB and many other stations.

In addition to his 13 pieceorchestra, Palmieri assembledthe Harlem River Drive vocalgroup who he had introducedin an earlier album that is alsobreaking out and a further in-dication of the growing influ-ence of Latin soul. Also broughtto Sing Sing for the concertand album were comediansChavetita and Pirignon, withradio personalities Joe Gaines(WEVD) and Paquito Navarro(WHOM) as emcees.

The album is an outgrowthof Palmieri's long-standingpractice of presenting free con-certs at correctional facilitiesboth in the New York area andPuerto Rico. It takes note ofthe heavy Black and PuertoRican prison population whichcoincides with the Latin andR&B style of his band. He con-ceived the idea of a live LP thatwould reflect this cross -culture

while simultaneously bringinga show to the Sing Sing in-mates anxious for familiar en-tertainment.

Joe Cain, Director of Roulet-te's Tico label, cleared the proj-ect with Sing Sing SupervisorJ. Leland Casscles and beganthe intricate planning. RoulettePresident Morris Levy financedthe project, knowing it was agamble to attempt recording acomplete album in the space ofthe two hours allocated by pri-son officials for the show. Threeengineers, a chartered bus andequipment truck were neces-sary for a full day in advanceto transform the penitentiaryauditorium into a recordingfacility.

Palmieri emphasizes that theprison concert was not an iso-lated engagement aimed at re-cording the album, but a high-light in his continuing programof performances at correctionalinstitutions. He has previouslyappeared at Riker's Island,Greenhaven and other NewYork jails as well as the OssoBlanco penal facility outside ofSan Juan. He said his bandmembers and the others whocontributed their services wereeager to appear at other pri-sons and would like to interestmunicipal, state or federalauthorities in promoting amusical career developmentprogram both within prisonsand the larger community to in-volve young people before theygot into trouble.

Super excitement tip: We wait ailyear for that super exciting recordthat flashes out of nowhere to

explode in the sky. We believe wehave it for you now-"Rock and RollPart 2" Gary Glitter on Bell. Thisis one of the quickest breakingrecords in England in the past twoyears. It went right on KHJ L.A. and

we understand that the one -stops are backed upwith orders. Word is out that it is probably goingon other RK0 general stations. It is a perfect

record to do the sexy new dance-The Bump-whichis the rage at Harlow's in Society Hill,Philadelphia. It reminds us of U.S. Bond's"Quarter To Three." We look for many stations tojump on it, because it obviously attractsattention. Steve Wax personally flew it out toLos Angeles.

The next huge r&b to pop crossover O'Jays."Back-Stabbers" writers, producers, Ken Gambleand Leon Huff, have captured the sound madefamous by the Undisputed Truth on their record"Smiling Faces." These guys are also hot with twoother smash r&b GO-RILLAS: The new Joe Simonand also the Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes.

The new Al Green "I'm Still In Love With You"is his fourth monster in a row. There is noquestion that he may be termed the "Black TomJones," because he has emerged as one of thegreatest song stylists of our day. A charisma andmagnetism surround him already, but his impacthas not yet really been felt. When the whitemasses hear him do Bacharach-David tunes as wedid at the Latin Casino, it will open up a wholenew can of peaches (topped with rich sour cream).

Congratulations again to promo manMatty Singer in Philadelphia for a great job.Dean Tyler broke it also at WIP and now King Kong,George Michael of WFIL, is playing it three timesa night and is using the excitement -maker taglines we used to enjoy doing: "So nice we got todo it twice, so neat we got to repeat, got to doit 'cause we're used to it" (Georgie Woods ofWDAS uses those lines.)

It is on WIXY,KDWB and even (golden ear) Neil McIntyre of WPIXin New York City is on it.

Last week we told you about the Crusaders "PutIt Where You Want It" and all about the party atGulf & Western in honor of the Philadelphiapromotion men where celebrities like Red Richardsand Jack Wellman did the Boogie. This party musthave inspired a lot of people.

Specially priced two -record sets from

restigePrestige has one of the finest jazz catalogs available anywhere, so when we launched the firstedition* of specially priced two -record sets earlier this year, there was little wonder that BobPalmer wrote in Rolling Stone that "The series as a whole is doubtless the richest, most varied,and most important single series of jazz reissues in the last ten years." Or that Stephen Davis ofThe Phoenix said "... all the genius on these records can now be heard conveniently, and thatcertainly is a pleasure." Or that Billboard's Ian Dove commented: "It is an impressive packageand as it is being geared towards the youth market, should come as a mind opening surprise oncampus." Or that Michael Cuscuna, writing in Record World, said "With the impressive catalogsof Prestige and Fantasy, we should see a lot more." For Bob, for Stephen, for Ian, for Mike andfor you, we have some good news.And for radio people, a taste of each of these classic albums in the new set has been assembled in one convenient sampler package. We callit "PRP-2". But you can call it significant.

Bob Hamilton

By BOB HAMILTON

The mathematics of ratio is a simple littlefact placed in our head early in grade school,so Einstein's theory of reativity, in its firststep, is understandable to us all. Here's a sixfoot rock. At age two, I am three feet tall. Therock is twice as tall as I am. At age 21, I amSix feet -one inch tall. The rock is now smallerthan I am. If we had not been oriented toknow that we grow, we might mis-assume that

we stayed the same and the rock shrunk. In fact, the only twoways that we know we grow are (1) our relationship to ourenvironment and (2) the fact that society, as a whole, explainsto us that we are growing. My father says "My . . . Bobby'sgrowing." The biology books even explain to us in detail how wegrow. Okay, with only two of our senses, we know we grow. Wesee our enviroment change, and we hear others tell us we'rechanging. Touch, taste, hear, see, smell . . the five senses. Ona desert one day, I saw a rock in the distance . . . I figured it wasabout 300 yards away and about 20 feet high. For the hell of it,I decided to count my steps to the rock. One solid hour later Ihad lost count. The rock now was fully a half mile away and atleast 100 feet high. After a three hour walk toward the rock, Igave up and turned back, fully realizing the rock was a mountainthat I could not reach before sundown.

Most of the communication about radio has only been discus-sion of the staus quo. How are things in radio today? Well, Tom-my Edwards is now at WLS, and KHJ isn't playing Donny Os-mond, and WABC isn't on . . . and on . . . and on . . . RADIO. . . from the days of crystal sets . . . one ear phone to listen in. . . a tuner struggling to reach a slight joining with the lonesignal that reached the area . . . to radio on two gigantic life -likespeakers . . . and now four speakers. RADIO . . . on transistorsthat sit in the palms of your hands, sit in your dashboard, go onyour belt . . . fill the very sounds of your life. RADIO is every-wrere . . . an advertising campaign from ARB a few years agocited.

At this moment it's 8 pm. I'm on an island. This island is themost beautiful place I've ever been. The most incredible blue skythat matches the blue water . . . a blue that I never knew existedIt's perfect color . . . as perfect as a natural 20,000 cycle tone.In the lushness of the jungle and the flowers . . . Everywherethere are flowers and waterfalls. We decided to walk yesterday,and Victor, who grew up on this island, picked us up. Peace onhis face . . . that's what I saw. The sound of his words, "I don'twant to be a millionaire, I just want to live a good life." In thisquiet, with these people on this island, now listening to the soundof ocean and feeling the peace, I can turn my radio on. Television,telephones, jet airplanes . . . all are miles away. There are nostores here . . . there's only one contact with the outside world.RADIO is everywhere . .. and it's telling me how warm it is . . .

what time it is ... what it's name is . . . and then, mixed with thesound of the ocean and the birds and the rustling of mountainsof flowers in the breeze, it sings me its call letters. And it issuddenly apparent to me that it has nothing . . . absolutelynothing to say to me. Yea, yea, I'm sitting here in the jungle andI've just won a toaster. Go with me to the cardboard boxes thatlie staked so you have to gaze twice to determine whether it'sa junkyard or a Tijuana housing development. Go with me tohomes everywhere and tell me if giving a toaster away is whatour listeners are asking for. Oh yes, we can learn about ARB,psychological motivation . . . we can sell our call letters, ournames, any product that we want. We sold breakfast cereals foryears before the Federal Trade Commission finally let us know,through the pressures of a cat who found out, I'll bet, that therewas no nutritional value in cereals. RADIO . . . unlike television,which is almost viewed in the home . . . unlike newspapers,which are read during one sitting and always yesterday's news. . . RADIO is the only form of communication that reaches themasses, and it reaches them at any time, any place. When I amcaught up with getting those numbers, I can be brutal; I couldpull every psychological trick out of my hat that only a couple




Dialogue(Continued from, page 10)

RW: Is your father a professional entertainer?Jackson: Yes, he had a group, a singing group. I forget the

name of it.RW: Were you nervous at your first big concert?Jackson: No, because we had done lots of little shows before

that. Our first big show was with Diana when she discovered us.Our first show was in a shopping store where there was a big signsaying "The Jackson Five" which attracted people into the storeto see the group and to perhaps buy things there. It was asurprise when Diana Ross was at the show. If she hadn't beenthere and we weren't discovered, we would have just kept ontrying and hoping. We had won that talent show and a coupleof others and ever since then we never lost one. We used to domostly Motown songs, like Temptations things, and James Brown'sthings- we had a strobe light that went on and off when we didthe James Brown things-it worked out very well.

I like a lot of the old Motown stuff -we used to do a lot of it inour act. Like Supremes, Marvin Gaye. We used to do mostlyTemptations stuff, though everybody did then. There would bea group around doing that stuff and they would split up in acouple of weeks. You have to keep at it to make it.

RW: What's the first Motown record you remember?Jackson: The first Motown record we had, my mother bought

it, was Smokey Robinson's "Monkey Time" I was around six.That's the first music I can remember. We listen now to JamesBrown, Three Dog Night. My father's favorite group is the Roll-ing Stones. It would be fun to play a gig with them. Don't theylive overseas, though?Jackson: I used to go places by myself, far away places, not

just the store. There's a big difference. you know. I can go to thestore now by myself, but when we go to far away places like themovies, go-cart racing, horseback riding, we have to take securitywith us. If we go without security, they tell us that we shouldhave some because kids recognize us. Usually they just wantautographs. People know we live in L.A. Sometimes the mailmangets a letter addressed "Jackson 5" with no address, and heknows where to bring it.

Dede

By DEDE DABNEY

NEW YORK-PERSONAL PICK: "I CanUnderstand It" --Bobby Womack (UA).Taken from is latest album, thistitle tune is quite a toe -tapperand finger -popper. Contrary towhat the recording company wishesto release from the album, we feelthat this one will and shall sellto any other cuts. May we sug-

gest that this be cut in two parts. Watch to seewhat happens.

DEDE'S DITTIES TO WATCH: "My Mind Keeps Tell-ing Me"-Eddie Holman (GSF); "Shake A Hand"-Linda Hopkins (RCA); "Johnny B. Goode"-ChuckBerry (Chess); "Your Red Wagon"-Donnie Elbert(Command Performance); "Open House At My House"-Little Johnny Taylor (Ronn); "Roll Over"-Freddie North (Mankind); "Lawdy Miss Clawdy"-Ike Turner (UA); "Dancing In The Streets"-Sugar(Rocky Road); "Heart Of Gold"-Betty Layette(Atco).

WANTED, WANTED: A national distributor for anew label which has loads of product. If you areinterested in distributing this product con-tact: Deek Deeberry at (212) 527-1665.

Curtis Mayfield will be coming out with a newsingle from the soundtrack album of "Superfly."Mayfield produced this album. That's on theCurtom label distributed by Buddah.Rick Holmes was in New York last week with

copies of "Cannonball Adderly Presents SoulZodiac" which was written and is narrated byRick. Very impressive and quite interesting.If you are into the signs and would like toentertain your audience, turn them on tothis album.

SUCCESS, SUCCESS: The FORE cocktail party heldat Directoire (14) was a sure hit. There weremany people who attended who were not directlyinvolved with the organization but showedmuch interest. It was quite exciting to seemany new faces.

We understand that the next album of BobbyWomack's will be from his latest appearance atthe Apollo Theatre. It will prove to bevery exciting. (Continuedrnipage30)

"Upendo Ni Pamoja" by Ramsey Lewis on Columbiahas sold over 20,000 in the Chicago area. Out-standing cuts which will be Lewis' next single are"Slippin'Into Darkness," and "People Make TheWorld Go Round." The actual meaning of thetitle is "Love Is Together."

FACTS, FACTS: The fact that the Southern con-tingent of NATRA will not be attending the '72convention in its entirety has many quiteperplexed. Perhaps the true reasoning for thismove is due to many circumstances based onneglect and segregation. We have to take majorpoints and deal with the national body ofthe organization.

We also have to admire the fact that theSouthern body has taken it upon themselves toform committees to help one another with theproblems of their stations and have come toproper solutions. It is necessary to stress tothe national body that this problem effectsall and must help with a general solution.

Cheech & Chong:High Comedy

By JOHN GIBSON

LOS ANGELES - Cheech &Chong's official bio claims thatthe two have, in recent months,"done a number- on the worldof high comedy." The state-ment, as applied to the Ode re-cording duo, can be taken anynumber of ways, but one thingis for certain: Cheech&Chongrank high in the esteem of thosewho like to laugh. "We foundsomething new that peoplecould relate to," Tommy Chongexplains.

Chong is the one with theshow biz background. His fatherwas "an itinerant topless nightclub owner," and Tommy wasborn in, of all places, in Edmon-ton, Alberta, Canada(some havesuggested a "Reborn" albumwith the Edmonton SymphonyOrchestra). Tommy actually be-gan his career on stage as aguitar player in r&b bandsaround Western Canada; one ofthem, Bobby Taylor and theVancouvers, was even signed toMotown by Berry Gordy, Jr.Their big hit, "Does YourMama Know About Me," waswritten by Chong.

Richard Marin, "Cheech,"was born in "the better sectionof Watts, California." He is theson of an L.A. policeman, andas soon as he was sprung fromSan Fernando Valley college, hesplit for Canada where he raninto Chong.

City Lights

The two of them were in agroup known as City Lights,which was patterned after theSecond City of Chicago and theCommittee of San Francisco,and consisted of three freaks,four topless dancers, a mimeartist and a roaring audience.

City Lights then broke up,but Cheech and Chong stayedtogether as a duo. They trav-eled south to the "Hoot" nightat the Troubadour, where OdePresident Lou Adler heardthem, and signed them in shortorder.

At present Cheech&Chong'sjust -released second album,"Big Bambu," is racing up TheAlbum Chart. Adler says thefirst one, "Cheech and Chong,"is still selling about 10 thou-sand a week and is 20 thousandaway from going gold. Theduo's first national televisionappearance will be in Septem-ber on Kenny Rogers' "Rollin'On The River" show. And July2, if you're in Las Vegas, checkout the Flamingo Hotel atabout 2 am. Cheech&Chong willbe doing a special show for allthe Vegas entertainers at thattime.

GOSPEL TNEBy IRENE JOHNSON WARE

It seems that the new sound of gospel isfinally catching on. Gospel announcers andsingers may as well accept this transition be-cause I sincerely believe it is here to stay. Ithas made our young people take time to listen.In the very near future I personally feel thatgospel music will be played on all types of

Irene Johnson shows.Many of the r&b announcers are playing one

or more gospel tunes on their programs. Martha Jean "The Queen"Steinberg at WJLB in Detroit, Michigan, is on the air from 10am until 2 pm, Monday through Friday. Each day from 12 noonuntil 1 pm she has "Inspirational Time" and plays gospel music.

As I recall, the Sensational Nightingales with June Cheeks andErnest James gave gospel singing a different sound in the early1950s with such recordings as "Does Jesus Care" and "Soldier Ina Uniform" . . . The trio sang in a very high tone so different tothe usual quartet singing at that time and approximately 10 yearslater a group first known to me as the Sensational Wonders andlater gained fame as the Mighty Clouds of Joy came up with evena newer sound in gospel. Their group had two guitarists and atrio with a tone as high as the late Cecil Shaw.

ChangesIn the gospel field there have been many changes, but I feel

they have all been for the better.There was a time when persons who realized that they had a

talent to sing would reach out to be discovered as an r&b artist,but now, more than ever, there are many of our young people whohave a desire to sing gospel.

Their way of deliverance may not meet the approval of manyof the adults of today but I feel there is an accomplishment be-cause they are communicating in their own way. As the sayinggoes, they are doing their own thing.

Hat's off to the Rance Allen Singers, who are really doing theirthing and gave a beautiful and timely performance in Detroit,Michigan for the Dave Clark Testimonial Dinner, which was a bigsuccess because of Dede Dabney and Joe Medlin.

The Stovall Sisters, who record for Warner Brothers Records,have a new album, "The Stovall Sisters." They are presently tour-ing with Redd Foxx. They opened the show doing three selectionswith "Praise His Name," the second single from the album, astheir closing portion of the first half of the performance. Thenafter Redd Foxx has completed his act, the Stovalls begin thefinale with "Hang On In There," their original tune and the firstsingle from the album, bringing out the rest of the cast one byone and building up a shouting, singing, dancing, tambourineparty which lasted a minimum of 10 minutes.

"Let Your Hair Down" by Rev. C. L. Franklin, Jewel 0058, isthe label's newest album. Rev. Cleophus Robinson's new album,"I Was In Prison and Ye Visited Me Not," was recorded live atMissouri State Penal Institute.

Nashboro Records and its subsidiary gospel label, Creed, areissuing one of the heaviest album releases in the history of thecompany Artists spotlighted in this nine album release are ClaraWard, recorded with the BC&M Choir and 21st Century Singers,Rev. Willingham, the Gospel Keynotes, the Supreme Angels Rev.Cleophus Robinson, the Lee Scott Singers, (formerly the Mid-western District Choir of Witness Fame), The Voices of HeavenChoir, of Detroit Mich., The Swanee Quintet and Delois BarrettCampbell and the Barrett Sisters.

RECORD WORLDArtista de la Semana(Artist of the Week) "Viva!" is Trini Lopez sing-ing in Spanish but of senti-ments that are shared univer-sally, It is music about love andjoy and friendship and life, ap-propriately styled by this vocal-ist whose own life force provedstronger than obstacles in hispath to artistic achievement.

Trinidad Lopez III began lifein Dallas' "Little Mexico." Herecalls, "it wasn't easy inDallas. That was the strugglingtime. First of all I was aMexican, in a community pre-judiced against Mexicans."

Encounters with both musicand life came early. "I got intoshow business because of awhipping from my father. Tomake up for it he gave me abeat -up guitar that cost $12.It was like an ordinary familyspending $500 for a kid's gift,"says Trini who was then 11years old. Within that yearTrini began appearing at localfunctions, eventually growinginto lead roles in school presen-tations.

His devotion to music wasreaffirmed when he was 13 andplaced first in a competition,winning a $25 savings bond."I remember that I ran all theway home to give it to mymother."

By the age of 15, Trini hadbegun to acquire a comfortablefollowing playing clubs andrestaurants throughout theSouthwest. When he was 23 hemade the difficult decision tobring his talent into the for-midable Los Angeles entertain-ment world.

Almost immediately upon ar-rival to the West Coast in 1960,he was contracted to a four-

Trini Lopez

week engagement at Ye LittleClub in Beverly Hills.

Trini Lopez became "a sell-out" attraction. He was signedafter-the first performer at theclub to do so.

Encouraged by this warm re-ception he moved his act toP.J.'s, one of Hollywood'slarger, more popular night-clubs. In the audience one nightwas Don Costa, a well knownrecord producer who later re-corded Trini in a live perform-ance. The result was the firstTrini Lopez album, "TriniLopez at P.J.'s" which acquiredthe number two position onnational record charts in theUnited States after being re-leased for only six weeks.

One song from that album,"If I Had A Hammer" sold morethan four and a half millionrecords in 20 countries. TheMexican newspaper `Novedades'acclaimed: "Trini Lopez is thegreatest United States exportsince Coca-Cola."

MONEY MUSIC(Continued from page 21)

last year to be a summer hit, but we have afeeling it won't be stopped this year . .

especially with Dean Tyler on it.

Argent. We have been talking about this recordsince it came out, and we are pleased to see greatsales confirmation this week at WPGC, KJRB, L.A.and a big #9 at WMEX.Lobo. The magic label, Big Tree, has a

powerhouse record here and it is getting actionat WIXY, WRIT, KLIV, WPGC and WIBG.

Mac Davis. This record is a tremendous sleeper.It is breaking at. KLEO Wichita and_KRZY inSalem, Oregon. There is also activity at WMAK,KLIF and WROV. This could be the one. If a sharpprogrammer would play this ("Baby Don't GetHooked On Me') back-to-back with the Helen Reddy("I Am Woman"), this would cover all philosophies.The Mac Davis is the national anthem of the summerbachelors whose wives go to the shore, and theHelen Reddy speaks for itself.

There are some fantastic new records that arepaying their dues in key secondary markets. Weare watching them very closely. We want to makeyou aware of them because if just one majorstation would give them a break, there is no doubtthat they would become hits: "What Exactly Is AFriend," Peter Cofield, Metromedia. We mustcaution the music directors that the hook comeshalf way through the record, and they must hearthe record twice. We are getting reports fromplaces as far apart as WALG Albany and WPHD-FMin Buffalo. The same label has a record called"Bicycle Song" Don Marley and we are gettingreports from widely separated geographical areassuch as WNHC New Haven and WWCO Waterbury, WPTSPittston, Pennsylvania (Rick Shannon keeps sendingurgent letters about it), all the way to DanWalker at KJRB Spokane. Note to Paul "theenforcer" Drew: "Now that you are at WAVZ NewHaven, you can really pay close attention to thiswell confirmed embryo, because we understand toowell that your cerebral hemispheres function injust such a groove. We are also happy to hearthat your eye is much better, and that you didn'tbite your dog back" . . . the Sammi Smith is #3at WROV and we say "Amen" to the heart -feltrecommendation by Ron Tompkins that "This greatKris Kristofferson song should be given a shot,because it could easily become another 'Help MeMake It Through The Night'". Doesn't anybodywanna play a smash???

Jamestown Massacre on Warner Brothers. Some ofthe sharpest programming ears in the UnitedStates tell us this is a winner and express thepious wish that it break fast.

The Who. This is one of the greatest recordswe have ever heard. Their sound is so uniqueand so easily identifiable that they will godown in history as one of the greatest bandsin music.Rick Nelson. Tom Murphy at KOL, West Walker and

WRNO in New Orleans swear that this true -lifelyric will connect.

B. J. Thomas. KJR and KJRB are the firststations to jump on this great song. We lovethe record.Arlo Guthrie. "The City of New Orleans." This

fabulous record has been getting great air play

Sweet Sixteen

Epic recording group LookingGlass, currently climbing thecharts with "Brandy," played re-cently at the sixteenth birthdayparty of publisher Al Gallico'sdaughter Linda, center.

Cornelius Bros.Album Beady LOS ANGELES -- The firstalbum release by hitmakers theCornelius Brothers and SisterRose, is currently being readiedby United Artists Records, andwill soon be available.

Titled "The Cornelius Broth-ers and Sister Rose," the col-lection will also be available intape and cassette. It will in-clude the act's million sellingsingle of last year, "Treat HerLike A Lady," and their newfast rising hit single, "It's TooLate To Turn Back Now."

of years of study can teach me . . . and zap it right on thosepotential numbers. I can pull strings in their heads and forcethem to say my call letters. But what have I done?

Who among you would give your son a stone when he askedfor bread? The world has grown. There are multiples of peopleas compared to 1920 when KDKA went on the air. Crystal setshave changed to a transistor that hooks on my belt. A choice ofone signal has changed to a choice of many. We're grown up, butmaybe so are the rocks. The people have changed . . . theirproblems are different. Many of them are deciding that Victoris right ... maybe those smokes stacks aren't worth having a badlife over. They don't want to be millionaires . . . they want tohave a good life. And they're beginning to recognize that radiois trying to sell them-nothing-no nutritional value.

In 1920, KDKA went on the air with election results. Thatwas the important information of the day. Also, that night, thefirst commercials hit the air. "We thank Hamilton's Record Shopfor the music." In 1972, it will be the election results again andanother commercial. It's satisfying to know that I can sit in thisjungle and find out how the stock market is doing or what timeit is. But somehow in this space, or in a lonely one -room apart-ment on New York's upper West side, it seems to me that ifyou're the only human voice I have to hear, you might give mesomething . . . that means something. I turned you on becausewith all of nature. with all the beauty or whatever the envirno-ment may be, there is still nothing more beautiful of fulfillingthan communication from another human being. And you'retrying to pretend that I haven't grown . .. that we haven't grown.The birds and the trees, the flowers, the cardboard walls, theframe bed, the sound of the traffic, and the sound of the surf . . .

are all real-stark reality. And you are pretending that you'resomeone else. Seeing touching, etc., and feeling, another sense.RADIO is everywhere . . . but what is RADIO??

in L.A. We are happy to see an acoustical folkrecord get this much attention.We are getting fantastic reports all over the

country on the cut "Honky Cat" in the Elton"Brahms" John LP. It exploded to #30 at WTIX andRon Riley of WCAO and Don Berns of WKBW aregiving glowing testimonials about it. They wouldlike to see Russ "Mr. Double Sincere" Reganrelease it immediately.

Another sleeper we want to talk about is "Tramp"by Sugar Bus Polydor. This record is picking upa lot of believers. Congratulations to Connorsand Allen of WMEX for blazing the trail.We just got a flash from Buzz Barr at KING that

the Danyel Gerard has exploded 24-14 in Seattleand he confirms that the Jim Croce is doing well.We are getting strong reports now on the Hot

Butter on Musicor, and confirmed action that the"Steppin'" side of the Melanie is a winner.We are keeping an eye on the Havenstock River

Band because of the air play it has picked up.

FILM REVIEW

Compelling 'Parades'NEW YORK - "Parades," a

first feature film attempt byproducer -director Robert J. Sie-gel, is a compelling, almostseething look into the entirenature of military stockades,that ancient and sordid formthe army calls justice. Maybeit's because I can identify, butI don't ever remember a com-parison to this 95 minutes oftortured celluloid hell.

In the days when few soughtrefuge in Canada I took therelatively easy way out by join-ing the reserves, not the mostwell-equipped fighting unit inthe world, but the uniformswere just as green as thoseworn in southeast Asia. I re-member the countless days ofmarching, actually tip -toeingpast the stockade. Inside thebarbed wire fences always rep-resented a mythical fear of themost astronomical proportions.At least I knew they'd neverget me inside, and I was farfrom the model soldier. Afterseeing "Parades," those fearsbecame reality.

The story, written for thescreen by George Tabori, con-cerns a group of AWOL's andtheir terrible dehumanizing lifein a stockade. The only thingthey look forward to is death,and when they're not beingbrutalized, they're busy figur-ing out ways of committing sui-cide. The lives of the inmatesare controlled and ruled overby the maddening stereotype,Sgt. Hook, magnificently playedby Brad Sullivan, who inciden-tally makes his film debut. Sul-livan's performance, the best inthe film, is the finest of thatnature since Ernest Borgnine'sgreat portrayal of Fatso in"From Here To Eternity."

"Parades" is a scary piece offiction, one that should be ap-plauded technically, yet hatedconceptually. And it should behated, because it's concept un-fortunately mirrors our trou-bled times. At any rate see it.It should hurt real bad.

`4 -Channel Dynamite!'From Project 3 NEW YORK-At the CESshow in Chicago, recently,Project 3 and Enoch Light in-troduced a new 4 -channel dem-onstration record titled "4 -

Channel Dynamite !" The musicfor this recording was espe-cially planned and arranged byEnoch Light and Jeff Hest andpresents the most advanced en-gineering expertise ever devel-oped for 4 -channel recording.The musical information is di-rectional and identifiable whenit appears on each individualchannel and combines on allfour channels to present a dy-namic presentation of all of themusical and technical advancesachieved by 4 -channel record-ing.

Light believes that the musicfor 4 -channel recording mustbe especially arranged and re-corded so as to add a greaterdimension and enjoyment po-tential for the listener-other-wise 4 -channel recording willnot be dramatic enough toachieve great commercial suc-cess.

Liner Breakdown

In addition to performancesby many of the world's greatestmusicians, this recording in itsliner presents a complete break-down of the instruments' loca-tion on all of the different songsand the listener can enjoy thepositive separation as well asthe distinctive presence of thedifferent instruments and in-strumental sections in the over-all balance. Light believes that4 -channel recording must notpresent a so-called rear chan-nel ambience but that each in-dividual channel must have anindividuality and a definitepresence and contribute to adefinite overall musical balance.

The "4 -Channel Dynamite!"record was acclaimed at theCES show and the great ma-jority of hardware manufac-turers were using either thisrecord or its cartridge versionto demonstrate their equipment.The recording is available inmatrix record, both in the San-sui system concept and in theColumbia SQ system concept. Itis also available on quad -8 car-tridge and reel-to-reel tape. Justas Light originally conceived of"Persuasive Percussion" at thestart of the stereo era, Project3 believes that "4 -Channel Dy-namite!" will contribute greatlyto the public's interest in 4 -channel hardware and software.



Banner Books The Rock & Roll Revival NEW YORK - Among Mar-shall McLuhan's most reason-able observations, or "probes,"as he likes to call them, is thetransformation of "cliche toarchetype."

One can see this theory inpractice in rock music today, asthe formerly cliched "do-wop"music of the 1950s becomes thehistorically "relevant" art formof the 1970s. Aside from themuch -publicized revival showswhich currently fill college au-ditoriums and mammoth arenasfrom coast to coast, rock & rollnostalgia has surfaced on tele-vision and radio, in books, mag-azines and films, and even inuniversity classrooms. Vin-tage rock & roll has grown inimportance to the point wherea booking agency, Banner Tal-ent Associates, Inc., has beenfounded specifically to dealwith it.

Beginnings

Logically enough, BannerPresident David Zaan and VicePresident Jom Hudson are asdeeply rooted in rock & roll asthe artists they handle. Zaan,who began his musical careeras a salesman for a record dis-

Zaan Mu-sic Agency in 1958, and untilthe formation of Banner inJanuary, 1972, booked many ofthe newly "revived" artists innight clubs and concerts in theNew York -New Jersey area.Hudson entered the sceneabout eight years ago, workingfor Dick Clark's Caravan outof Pittsburgh; prior to Bannerhe was affiliated with Rock Tal-ent Associates, a booking agen-cy which worked on a nationallevel. In response to the cur -dent demand for 1950s artists,the two men formed Bannerwith the intention of provid-ing revival artists with high-powered representation on aninternational scale.

In the past few months Ban-ner has booked artists intomost of the better known nos-talgia shows-Richard Nader'srock & roll revival, for exam-ple, as well as in college con-certs and night clubs. In addi-tion, Banner has worked witha number of people not directlyassociated with the music busi-ness, bringing rock & roll his-tory to a constantly expandingaudience.

"Free Time," a local programproduced by New York's edu-cational television outlet, Chan-nel 13, has devoted four pro-grams to the origins of rock &roll since April, 1971. Workingwith NET producer Alan Gold-berg, David Zaan has handled

bookings for each of the shows,which featured the Angels, the5 Satins, the Vibrations, theHarptones, the Cadillacs, andArlene Smith and the Chantells,among others. The "Free Time"format presented the artists inperformance, as well as in con-versation with 1950s era disc -jockeys and the show's hosts,Jeff Greenfield and John Har-din.

Another even more unusualside of the rock & roll revivalis taking shape in universityclassrooms. New York's NewSchool for Social Research, forexample, has instituted a coursein rock & roll. In a special classdevoted to rock & roll history,David Zaan brought the Angelsand one of the Five Satins tothe school as guest speakers ina question and answer session.

One of the less -publicizedaspects of the current nostalgiatrend is the appearance of anentirely new audience. Mostcollege students are simply notold enough to associate this mu-sic with their long -lost youth,and as David Zaan points out,there is no way they can bethe people who bought the rec-ords back in 1957. While theoriginal fans patronize thenight club shows, college con-certs are filled by college stu-dents, or even high school stu-dents, for that matter.

The popularity of "oldies"artists among this new-foundaudience can be gauged by thesuccess of revival shows oncampus. For example, whenBanner brought Chuck Berry,the Crystals, the Chiffons, andDanny and the Juniors to NewYork State University at Bing-hamton, college spokesmencredited these artists with thegreatest turn -out for any rockconcert in the school's history.Similarly, when the NationalEntertainment Conference, a col-lege -run organization, held itsconvention in Kansas City thisyear, they came to Banner formusical amusement.

Activities

The list of activities for re-vival artists goes on and on.Banner is currently at workcompiling material and copy-rights for an "oldies" album,featuring the original artistsperforming their early hits; thealbum, which will be promotedin a 12 -week television andradio campaign, should beavailable in about six weeks. Inaddition, Banner is booking re-vival artists for upcomingEuropean tours, as well as anincreasing number of night clubengagements.

Mike Belkin, PromoterBy RON ROSS

NEW YORK-Mike Belkin,who began promoting concertsin Cleveland in 1965 to publi-cize his family's clothing busi-ness, is a music industry re-naissance man. From small be-ginnings, when he brought toCleveland its first pop -rock con-certs in the form of the FourFreshmen and the New ChristyMinstrels, Belkin's concernshave grown to include BelkinProductions, his concert promo-tion firm; Belkin Personal Man-agement, which manages theJames Gang and the Sir Doug-las Quintet, among others; andBelkin-Maduri Productions, arecord -production firm.

In addition, Belkin has pro-duced several benefits for Pres-idential candidate George Mc-Govern, which have broughttogether such superstars asPaul Simon, Joni Mitchell, andJames Taylor, at times on thesame night in the same city asa profit -making Belkin Produc-tion. This summer, Belkin willutilize the Akron Rubber Bowl,a sports stadium, to stage someof the most interesting largescale, non -festival concerts evermounted. He will promote ThreeDog Night and the James Gangtogether, while Black Sabbathand Humble Pie will also sharea bill. Rubber Bowl concertsheadlining Chicago, the RollingStones, the Allman Brothers,the Osmonds, Yes, and AliceCooper are being confirmed.

It's a big business, as MikeBelkin would be the first toagree, and the "secret" of hissuccess, as he revealed it toRecord World recently, is sim-ply to be "businesslike," con-sistently, honestly, and pub-licly. Belkin feels that too manymusic business people feel thatthe industry has a code ofethics and a set of proceduresall its own. On the contrary, hemaintains that the sound busi-ness practices and straight-forward bargaining principlesthat helped the family business

to thrive provided a basis foran organization that is prob-ably the second largest pro-moter of musical talent in thecountry.

Notably, Belkin does not limithimself to rock acts only, as hefeels that profitable concertsare possible with the widestrange of styles. A large num-ber of the 250 concerts he pro-duced in 1971 headlined mid-dle of the road artists, and infact, Belkin's first successfulshows featured performers likeJohnny Mathis and Johnny Car-son in venues to which he in-troduced these major attrac-tions. Now there is a full-timerepresentative of the firm inevery city in which Belkin pro-duces, from Los Angeles toNew York with many points inbetween.

But perhaps the first andforemost explanation for MikeBelkin's success is the kind ofperson he is: self-assured, ar-ticulate, warmly communica-tive, with more than a touchof humor to the way he ex-presses himself, Belkin is thekind of promoter that gives onethe feeling that there's enoughin a given venture for every-body concerned. His flair forimaginative salesmanship ispointed up by one of the mostunusual of his upcoming pro-motions. He will send burlesquestar Tempest Storm, whom hemanages, on a package tourcomplete with emcee, orchestra,and candy barker to campusesaround the country as "Bur-lesque Goes To College." Callit camp, nostalgia, or just arefreshingly non-academic formof entertainment, the packageshould set college promoter'smouths to watering.

From the Four Freshmen toAlice Cooper, Mike Belkin Pro-ductions have brought pop mu-sic to places where it wasn'tbefore he got there. A betterpromotional device than that,the industry could not ask for.

Beverly HillsComedy Code LOS ANGELES - Morris I.Diamond, owner of Beverly HillsRecords, has devised a new sys-tem of eliminating the risk ofairing comedy albums beforeauditioning. The system is newto the recording indutry; itscoding is the same as is givento motion pictures.

A new Beverly Hills Recordsalbum just released is called"Sex Is Not Hazardous To YourHealth" and stars comedy favor-ite Jackie Vernon. Also featuredin the sketches are Tom Bosley,Marian Mercer and LouisaMoritz.

34 Cuts

The album consists of 34 cutsand out of that, three are ratedX (for college and undergroundplay) ; six are GP rated (pro-grammer's guidance suggested)and 25 cuts are G (pretty safefor everyone to play).

From sample test pressingsent around to various markets,airplay has already started ona large variety of formattedstations. Interestingly enough, anumber of major market top40s started programming thecuts that are under one minuteand there are 17 of those. Anumber of FM stations chose torun with the "X" rated cutsimmediately.

"There is nothing in this al-bum that would change a radiostation into a parking lot,"claims Diamond, "It just de-pends on whether managementwants to present the humorousside of topics already discussedon radio and tv, and to whatextent he would like his listen-ers to be entertained."

Virginia EnactsAnti -Piracy Statute NEW YORK-The Governorof Virginia has signed into lawan Anti -Piracy Statute bring-ing to 10 the number of Stateswhich have enacted recordinganti -piracy legislation to date.The other states already hav-ing anti -piracy laws are: NewYork, California, Arizona, Ar-kansas, Tennessee, Florida,Texas, Washington and Penn-sylvania. In addition, other re-cording anti -piracy laws havebeen introduced in other statelegislatures.

The new Virginia law makesit unlawful to manufacture, dis-tribute or wholesale any re-cording with knowledge thatthe sounds have been trans-ferred without consent of theowner and also makes it unlaw-ful for any person to knowinglyretail or possess for the pur-pose of retailing any recordeddevice that has been produced,manufactured, distributed oracquired at wholesale in viola-tion of any provision of theStatute. It requires the truename of the manufacturer tobe placed on the package ofevery recorded device sold ortransferred or possessed for thepurpose of sale.

Provisions

The statute further providesthat every individual manufac-ture, distribution or sale ortransfer at wholesale of suchrecorded devices in contraven-tion of the provisions of thechapter constitutes a separatemisdemeanor, and makes it theduty of all law enforcement of-ficers, upon discovery, to con-fiscate all recorded devices thatdo not conform to the provi-sions of the statute.

According to Jules E. Yar-nell, Special Counsel on Anti -Piracy Activities for RIAA, theimportance of these state stat-utes lies in the fact that theFederal Copyright Amendment,signed into law by PresidentNixon on October 15, 1971,grants statutory copyright pro-tection for sound recordingsfixed and issued after Febru-ary 15, 1972. The amendment(Public Law 92-140) thusleaves those recordings previ-ously issued to be protectableonly through civil suits by re-cording companies against tapeand record pirates for unfaircompetition under the commonlaw of the several states orthrough local criminal enforce-ment proceedings in the stateshaving statutes similar to thatnow enacted in Virginia andthe nine other states mentioned,

CLUB REVIEW

Carlin Sells Out-Bitter End NEW YORK-It's bold state-ment time. Quite simply, GeorgeCarlin is the funniest comicalive. Any doubters obviouslymissed his completely sold -outengagement last week at theBitter End.

Seeing Carlin live is the keyto the statement. Sure his Lit-tle David album, "FM & AM,"is hilariously funny. And yes,he breaks up any and all talkshows the idiot box has to offer,but face to face, person to per-son, is the greatest test of acomedian's skills. On that basisCarlin doesn't have to worryabout not getting airplay, orwhich particular words willTV's insidious censors decideto bleep. He just goes out thereand kills them. Does he ever.

In days of old Carlin de-pended largely on characterslike Al Sleet, the hippy-dippyweather man, and the famoustop 40 deejay, Willie West. Now,

Almost asimportant, Carlin's delivery isso natural that most of his rou-tines tend to look unrehearsed,and therefore the spontaneityis refreshing, side-splitting, andeventually, brilliant. For me,he's the best.

Little David's first musicalact, Dan Cassidy, opened theshow nicely with many songsfrom his debut album of thesame name. He is a better -than -average singer -songwriter witha raspy voice, Irish roots, anda drug rehabilitated past. "WeThe Children" could be a win-ning single. Cassidy has thepotential. Check him out.

CECERT REVIEW

Country RocksCarnegie Hall NEW YORK-It takes a lot`() bring out the country in aBrooklyn boy, but the Eric An-dersen/New Riders of The Pur-ple Sage (Columbia) Concertat Carnegie Hall (4) could havedragged it out of even the mostardent city folk.

Eric Andersen, a performerwho, unfortunately, hasn't beenheard enough of until lately,kept the audience comfortablein their seats as he sang a col-lection of songs from his newalbum "Blue River"; mostmemorable was "Is It ReallyLove." He took the audience tothe days of old with his"Thirsty Boots" and brought itto a rocking finish with his ren-dition of Merle Haggard's"Mama Tried." Welcome back,Eric.

Anyone who has followedN.R.P.S. from conception cantruly say now that they areno longer a part of anything oranyone else. I must admit thatat recent concerts somethingalways seemed to be lacking(lyrics, rhythm, guitar strings,etc.). Nothing was amiss onthis night as they truly out-playedsizeable portions of their twoalbums (if not all) as well as adown-home version of Joni Mit-chell's "Big Yellow Taxi."

Spencer Dryden on drumscame to light on an extendedversion of "Willie & the HandJive," as did lead guitaristDave Nelson. Dave Tolbert onbass contributed great vocalson Gene Pitney's "Hello MaryLou." Jim Dawson (Marma-duke), was fine on rhythm gui-tar and as emcee for BuddyCage. Cage and his magicalpedal steel guitar made every-thing dance. They played hard,long, and perfect, and rode intothe sunset. Sorry no silver bul-lets.

Gross, Kupps(Continued from page 4)able to Columbia to supplementthe Columbia and Epic promo-tion staffs on selected releases.Said Gross, "We feel that wemust be almost totally promo-tion oriented to be a successfulrecord company today becauseeach market differs in needs.You have to travel and be inconstant touch with the variousmarkets in order to anticipateand satisfy their need, whichwe will be able to do, both forMums product and selected Co-lumbia and Epic product. Grossalso emphasized that Mums willremain a small label with lim-ited product in order to assurea maximum of effort for eachrelease.

All Mums staff is promotionoriented, with Columbia han-dling sales and merchandising."We have felt for a long, longtime that Columbia is the bestin the business when it comesto sales and merchandising,"Gross stated. "We are confidentthat once we promote a productit will be in good hands."

Recently released product onMums includes an album byP. F. Sloan, "Raised on Rec-ords" and a single by AlbertHammond, "Down by theRiver."

Reading, 'Riting And Rock & RollBy MITCHELL FINK

NEW YORK - Rememberwhen school meant the dailychore of reading, `riting and'rithmetic? Well, now they'reteaching rock & roll, and some-how our memories of that littleold lady with the bee hive hair-cut, chalk in one hand, pointerin the other, will never be thesame again. Actually, rock &roll isn't really being taughtin the first grade. Interestinglyenough, it it's being taught onthe university level.

Eric Isralow, holder of BAand Masters degrees, teachesPop Music (SOS 308) at theState University of New Yorkat Buffalo. Isralow is fromBrooklyn, and spent many of hisearly teenage years buying rock& roll records, studying groups,labels and disc jockeys. Hethinks he's pretty much of anauthority on the subject, andapparently, so does the univer-sity. In entertainment terms, hiscourse at UB is a sell-out.

Isralow told Record World:"In just two years the coursehas become one of the mostpopular at the college. Schoolisn't the same as it was whenI was an under -graduate there(1961-1965). Students now real-ize that a degree doesn't meana damn thing. They either wantto be taught a vocation or taughtsome sort of self motivation.

Campana Signs O.C. NEW YORK-Frank Cam-pana Personal Management, inassociation with Pat Falcone,has signed Columbia recordingartist 0. C. Smith. Plans arebeing formulated for an inten-sive campaign on TV, night-2lubs, concerts, records andcommercials for Smith. To kickoff the campaign, he will beheard singing songs in the newnovie of "Shaft's Big Score,"Singing title song "Don't Mis-understand," and "Move On In"Ind "Blowing Your Mind,"other songs from the movie,soon to be released on Colum-bia Records. The songs werewritten by multi -talented Gor-don Parks, who also is direct-ing the movie for MGM.

neering and recording opera-tions. Continuing to report toDearborn are Rex Isom, ChiefEngineer; Larry Schnapf, Man-ager, Recording Operations, andRobert Summer, Manager, Ma-terials.

That's what the rock & rollcourse is all about. We feel it'sa radical approach to education,one that initiates self motiva-tion."

The only approach with acourse of this nature is to treatthe subject aesthetically, histori-cally and culturally, and its thisapproach that Isralow uses. "Be-lieve it or not, some of the stu-dents think rock & roll sprangup in 1964 with the Beatles. Wediscuss the development ofalienated youth culture thatsprang up with the release ofChuck Berry's "School Days."No one wanted to go to schoolafter that record. We've spenta lot of time discussing rhythm& blues as a cultural dimension.Remember, while white middleclass was listening to RoseyClooney and Eddie Fisher in theearly 1950s, black kids weredigging the Clovers. Some ofthe students are old Pat Boonefreaks. They have to be toldthat Fats Domino recorded"Ain't That A Shame" first.

Isralow is also directly in-volved with the Institute ForRock & Roll Studies, anotherprogram under the wing of UB.He said, "the Institute's expressaim is to collect, collate, andevaluate all material relevant toresearch and commentary in thefield of contemporary Americanethnomusicology."

Celebrities ForBurgers NEW YORK - What withtheir current radio and televi-sion campaign well established,McDonald's is going all outwith recorded spots by top rec-ord acts. Sid Woloshin of SidWoloshin, Inc., produced themusic for the special "celeb-rity" series.

Mastertone EmploysVari-Pitch Computer

By MARTIN SNIDER

NEW YORK-When cuttinga record with a lathe, one prob-lem arises when you are deal-ing with extremely high andlow notes. This problem arisesquite frequently with classicalmusic.

Record World recently visitedMastertone Studies on 42ndStreet, here, where we founda couple of unusual features.First of all, there is a new com-puterized system which elimi-nates the problem mentionedabove. Secondly, there is awoman, Gladys Hopkowitz, op-erating the machine.

The device, invented byCapps, is quite small. The ma-jor complex lies in the otherequipment used in the room,which Miss Hopkowitz says isthe most fully equipped cuttingroom in use. The Vari-PitchComputer, as it is called, al-lows the pitch (grooves) to becut more efficiently. If there isroom on the disc, the Vari-Pitch varies the width of thepitch to allow for higher orlower tones. There is an ad-vance head that monitors thecutting lathe's signal into thecomputer, which then causesthe lathe to cut a most effec-tive pitch.

Mastertone is the only studiousing the Vari-Pitch, which hasbeen in operation for a fewweeks, and already ABC/Dun-hill and the Musical HeritageSociety have asked Mastertoneto cut masters for them using it.

Druiett Drops By

Wheel recording artist JimmyDruiett, center, whose single "IsThere Anyone Home" entered theSingles Chart last week, droppedby Record World to report on hislatest activities. With him wereSteve Metz, left, and Dave Lipton,who produced the disc along withNorm Bergen. Druiett is readyingfor his first album, to be producedby the same trio, which will includesome original songs along with theLevine -Brown penned single. Dru-iett currently playing club dates inNew Jersey, with a national touralso contemplated.

NASHVILLE-Loretta Lynn is ready with anotherchartbuster in "Here I Am Again." It's a pick atKFDI, WMGS and WBAP; moving at WHO, KWMT, WUBE,WKDA and WXCL.

Crash Craddock blasting onto charts nationwidewith the hot "I'm Gonna Knock On Your Door."Heavy action reported at WMCS, WWL, WENO, WHO,KLAC, WKDA, WBAP. Ronnie Sessions' "Never Been ToSpain" cut on MGM is the most exciting recordcurrently out! Can you picture "The Monkey WhoBecame President"? Tom T. Hall's novel story -songbeginning at WBAP, WXCL, WKDA, WRCP and KWMT.Very strong possibility of some country

attention to Mickey Newbury's "Remember The Good."Production is a little uptown and Elektra isn't acountry -oriented label but if you get a copy,preview it! Charlie McCoy could well be the firstto repeat with an instrumental hit. His "I'm SoLonesome I Could Cry" getting initial actionequal to that of his chart topping "Today IStarted Loving You Again." It's picked at KLACand KWMT; spinning at WKDA, WXCL, WINN, WHO.As Hotline predicted, Don Wayne's Dial sleeper

"Hank" is waking up to charts on a national scale!Record Row rumors say United Artists may close

their Nashville office. A local staffer told usthat "there has been no official word of anypossibilities." WSM is further rumored to beinterested in ex -jock and now U.A. c&w promohead Biff Collie. The label has had 10 recordsin national charts during the last twelve months.Brian Collins' "Spread It Around" the country

like wildfire; as is Johnny Carver's "I Want You."ABC Records is getting back into the country

business. Word is that an entire staff will behired. To date, Dianne Petty with ABC's publishingoperation is the only Nashville rep.

The Kendalls may hang one this round!"Everything I Own" moving up at WINN, WKDA, andWCMS. Promo man Gene Kennedy has moved to Ace ofHearts Record Company.

Brenda Lee getting good action at WCMS, WMGS,WKDA and WUBE on "Always On My Mind."Potent Possibilities: Price Mitchell's: Tonight

She'll Make Me Happy" on Kreative Kountry playingat WHO; Nashville All Stars' "Big Boss Man" onRoyal American breaking at KLAC; Dale Ward's "ICan't Build A Bride To Get Me Over You" on Dotcatching on at WBAP and WKDA; and Karen Wheeler's"The First Time For Us" on Chart starting at WXCL.Jubal Records re-releasing the song that made

Warren Smith a household word a few years back,"I Don't Believe I'll Fall in Love Again." Couldbe a two-time winner!! That's "D. J. Dan" Hoffman

NASHVILLE REPORT(Continued from page 43)

Most of the scuttlebutt around here has Hairl Hensley inherit-ing plum all-night country music record -interview show RalphEmery is vacating on WSM radio Aug. 1 . . . Hensley, onetimesideman with Don Gibson and other groups, is presently on thestations staff and has an impressive record as a dee-jay . . .

Incidentally, he is a sound -alike for Emery, who got fed up tohis vocal chords with the midnight -to -dawn chores, consideredjust about the most prestigious c&w assignment in all of radio...

The GOP of Tennessee-including members of Congress-honored Roy Acuff with a dinner the past Saturday at theNational Republican Club in Washington. in appreciation for hiscontribution to the party in the Volunteer State over the years .Roy's ever-loving Mildred also attended.

COUNTRYSINGLE REVIEWS

DON WILLIAMS-JMI 7DON'T YOU BELIEVE (Jack Music, BMI)Jack Clement's label has a light country offering from the formerPozo Seco singer. Label is geared for a hit and Don's release is agood idea of what's to come.

FARON YOUNG-Mercury 73308THIS LITTLE GIRL OF MINE (Dixie lane/Court of Kings, BMI)IT HURTS SO GOOD (Faron Young Music, ASCAP)Faron puts all he has into this "family man" type release thatthe Sheriff and all of his deputies are quite excited about. Flipis a great juke box country shuffle.

PAT DAISY-RCA 74-0743BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (Ishmael/Coors, BMI)I THINK I'M FALLING (Green Grass, BMI)Pat's follow up to "Everybody's Reaching Out" is the KennyO'Dell pop hit redone. Flip is a very singable self -penned thingthat's due a listen.

('hRI OWENS & SUSAN RA1 E-Capitol 3368LOOKING BACK TO SEE (Dandelion Music, EMI)CRYING TIME (Blue Book, BMI)A rerun of J.E.B.'s country penning. Buck's performance sells,but Susan's lackluster vocalizing is not consistent with her re-cent releases.

JMMY C. NEWMAN-Monument 8545NOT AS A SWEETHEART (Vector, BMI)BIG BAYOU (ThirdPleasing ballad from the Cajun tenor. Best from Jimmy since"Artificial Rose." Must playlist addition.

JOHNNY SLATE-Dot 17423TAKE IT FROM ME (I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU) (Tree, BMI)

OKLAHOMA WOMAN (Green Grass, BMI)A Jimmy Bowen production written by Slate and Ronnie Sessions.Uptempo kickin' country release that Slate handles well.

RED SIMPSON-Capitol 3364HOLD ON MA'M (United Artists/Big Ax, ASCAP)TRUCKIN' ON DOWN THE ROAD (Central Songs, BMI)Wild steel picking on a piece of Alex Harvey material from Port-land producer Gene Breeden.

JOHNNY TILLOTSON-Buddah 311YOUR LOVE'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMIN' (Algee, BMI)Sure, Buddah can have a country record, and not a bad efforteither! Country writer artist Norro Wilson produced the longtime star.

TONY BOOTH-Capitol 3356A WHOLE LOT OF SOMETHIN' (Blue Book, BMI)NOBODY'S FOOL BUT YOURS (Blue Book, BMI)Capitol's answer to Ray Price has a "shuffle on home" feel andtypical country lyric for the friends and neighbors.

STONEWALL JACKSON-Columbia 445632TORN FROM THE PAGES OF LIFE (Algee, BMI)This time Stonewall comes with a super hard Frank Jones pro-duction. 3 4 time juke box idea that may work for Stonewall.

LOIS JOHNSON-MGM 14401RAIN -RAIN (Acoustic, BMI)

MY HEART HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN

(Screen Gems-Columbia/Efsee, BMI)"Do-do-un-do-do-un-do-do-do" it says. Definitely a feel song fromhot Gary Paxton at Danny Davis' publishing outlet. Cute.

RCA

We are Fame.

Rick Hall, President Bob Skaff, Executive Vice President

Back in 1962, Rick Hall brought the firstprofessional recording equipment to MuscleShoals, Alabama. He believed this quiet littletown of 8,000 people, with its beautiful climateand countryside, would be an ideal place torelax and make music.

Ten years and close to 100 million recordslater, history has proven him right. At hisMuscle Shoals studios, Rick has produced anunprecedented string of hits withsuch artists as Aretha Franklin, BobbieGentry, Clarence Carter, TommyRoe, Candi Staton, LizaMinnelli, and Joe Simon, toname just a handful. Hits thatpaved the way for him to benamed the number one producer

FLORENCE

SHEFFIELD

of 1971.

When Rick decided to expand Fame Records,he entered an association with UnitedArtists Records, for their quality manu-

facturing and effective world widedistribution.

To complete the winning combination,Bob Skaff, Vice President of United ArtistsRecords, legendary promotion man, musicindustry expert, and long-time friend of

Rick Hall, was named Executive VicePresident and General Manager at Fame.

Fame has come a long way.And it's only the beginning.
