STEVIE ON THE NEW DISCS-P13

'Dylan' LP in May A FTER months in the shadows, the Holl!• •

have roared back into the Top Ten w,th the ir f irst single since founder member Graham Nash quit the group and moved to America 's West Coast. ,. .

The single, u Sorry Suzanne , with n~w boy Terry Sylvester , jumped to number nine in the MM 's Pop 30 this week.

And it has rejuvenated the group. For singer Allan Clarke told MM this week th~t for a time he thought the group would split up alter Nash left. . ,

The Hollies have started a massive six­week world-wide promotional campaign on the record. They have already appeared on German TV and have been booked to appear on television in Holland , Italy, Belgium and Sweden over the next few weeks.

CAMPAIGN In addition , they have completed a three

minute colour promotional film which is to be shown on 20 American TV shows .:tnd five Canadian shows in the next three weeks. And the film will probably be used by Aus ­tralian television stations as well.

The group's manager Robin Britten told MM :•• This is a massive c a mp3ig.n to create d w orldwide hit with ' Suzanne '."

The Hollie• next •lbum " Dylan " is released on May 4 and eatu 12 Bob Dyla n songs, including " Mighty Quinn ," '' Blowin ' In The Wind " and II My Back Pages. " In addition, the group have started work on a subsequent album which will contain at least nine original numbers.

And they have three " really good songs " from which to choose a new single, including: one by Tony Hazard and another by Tony Macauley who wrote u Sorry Suzanne."

• It's the series everyone Is talk· Ing about - people In the world of pop and people outside it (see leh). It's Keith Altham's JAGGER IN 3-D. It's Mick, the anti-hero from three unique angles. It's exciting because Altham knows Jagger. He spent houn talkln1 to him before he wrote a word. And, because Altham's life Is pop music, he knew the kind of questions to uk. And the kind not to.

Trad, skiffle, the Bea tles, the whole beat bus iness and the Underground groups were a ll estab• 1ished in the clubs before becoming ma jor record sellers or big a ttractions or stage, screen a nd radio.

A h ealthy club sce ne ls u sentlal to the. music busJ. ncss. And yet so many of tod ay's groups see.m so POSJIUSed of a dea th w is h that th ey s eem lntenl on destroying the clubs.

Every week throughout Britain, club owners wait for the groups who don't 1urn up despite s igned contracts.

And too many of the 1roups, not Jus t the big names, see.m Intent on prlclnt rh emsclves out of buslnns.

The club opened in lanut!lfy - <w\lh a dep group because lhe big namt- o'l"ig\n. ally booked was sick.

For the second session,

" Over 900 people had turned up to hear them," suys Mr Reddaway. "They co uldn't play wi thout the ll'nds, so we had to offer money back and were lert with 247 customers In many casts, people had !ravelled from bs far as Cheps tow, Birmingham, London, Chai• ham and Plymout h speclally to hear the group.

"Naturally, th ese people Josi confide nce In us and we were boycotted. Al th e next session, John Peel drew 74 people. l.ater we had 172 tor Ten Years Afte r a nd 183 for the Family.

" It wasn't the taull of

Eve nlually, the club was forced 10 close down, though Mr Reddaway plans to 1ry again.

" We.'YI!: been let down six limes si nce the beginning or lhe year at Kirk Le\llngton," he said this week. "One group railed 10 show up twice.

" Part of the !rouble stems from the colleges. The co1leges seem to have un• limited funds and don't have to make a profit so they are prepared lo pay prices which are lmposslblt- for clubs.''

Prestige ll is, of course, mostly the

provincia l clubs which are hit by non•appearlng groups - and it's remarkable how often the same names art­mentioned by club owners as unreliable.

John Gee, major domo of London's Marquee, doesn't have much trouble - " It's a prestige place 10 play and, of eou rse, It's in town so there are no h:ing•ups about travelling," he says.

" Jns lances of groups fall­Ing to turn up are Isolated."

John, however, fee ls tha1 too many groups don'I give value for money.

had a hit with every record they have issued over five highly successful years nearly went out of business.

It happenE.>d when Graham Nash, On t' of the foun­der memhers of t he group, lert to pursue his own mus ica l path and the other four Hollie,; we,re fa ced with the job of trying to replace him

Lead s inger Allan Clarke told me about it at his cot tage-style Hampstead home on Sunday.

" The trouble was. I knew how good Graham was. I knew it wouldn't be easy to replace him.

" We wen~ missing his high harmony which was an integral part or the group's sound

" We had two and a ha lf months of looking about for a person who could replace h im, fi t in the group and be lUned in to the mus ica l aims of the Ho llies .

" It was friJhtening. " There was a stage when

the g roup nearl y broke up and I had to thi nk about what I was going to do in the fu ture.

" I considered going solo, because a fter all I have a fam ily to support "

Fortunately for the group, after many auditions and much searching along came Terry Syl· vester

Terry had been playing guitar and sing ing with Liverpoc.,1•~ Swing ing Rlue Jeans and fitt ed perfect ly mto the Hollies mould ol happy melodic music.

"Jt was uncanny how well he fitted in," said Allan " He's a hard worker and he ht.heves in what the group is trying to do.

Allan-and the rest or the group-breathed corpor• ate sighs of relief when they rt.corded with Terry and found he fitted in perfectly in the recording studios, too.

One of the firsl things they recorded together was "Sorry Suzanne," which has marked the Hollies' return to the Pop 30.

" I'm on top of the world about It. Well, how would you feel? I'd had three months of worry.

"I though~ that we'd re-

The rejuvenated Hollies are set to start working aiam They will play the college and univer• sity circuit rath':'r than the ballrooms because they feel that their brand of music will be most appreciated there.

Why Led Zeppelin took off in America and not Britain A REACTIONARY anti- love movement in Brita in is the dis turbing development noted by guitarist Jimmy Page on his return from a long spell in America wi th Led Zep­pe lin.

" We played o date in Engla nd recently," said Jim my, "and al­though we were okay, the other band with us had beer glasses thrown a l them by all these yobs.

" And looking around, it all seems to be going back to vio lence with kids wea ring the kicking boots a nd s ha ven heads

OBSCENE

BY CHRIS WELCH braces. J didn' t have any trouble, jus t the us ual obscene yelling, It's a bloody nuisance. I hate the whole scene.

" It's a bil or a drag if the only joy th ey can ge t is punching people up. They' re missing out on a lot J kn ow th ey're only trying to ere• a te a bit or fun fo r themselves, but it's a shame they have to be destructive instead of constructive.

"There a re so many things they could do . . well , I'm not going to say, it sounds so corny. Well, they could he lp old lad ies instead of beat them up

" You can never Ond out what they want to do, or what they think because you can't talk to them. T hey want to beat you up or take the mick.

to come after the flower power bit The mods have rebelled ag~msl lo~g hair. They want short hair -so you can't 'ang on like - b~ts and ugly clothes to show the we mean business' approach."

Jimmy can't be blamed for pre• ferring America to England in a Jot or respects His ~roup are huge• ly popular there and their album is a best seller

" We've been very successful in

the States. We can hardly believe it 1 At most or the places we play we seem lo get mass hysteria. In Boston I noticed all the boys in the front row were beating their heads in time.

"I'm lookm~ forwa rd to playinl! at the Nl•wpo rt Jau Festival . It's a jtreat honou r. because there will be people like Muddy Waters and Stan Get1

"What"s so good about the States is they can mix so many different styles . I saw a concert with Crc1I Taylor, who is as far out as you can ftet, on the same bill with Richie Hawns and the Yardbirds. That's thrct completely different styles and they were all accepted by the audit'nCe at tht Fill-more.

"Quite a lot of people thi,,.,; doing classic-al arrange­ments is our main thing, but ,l's not.

" I remember yea rs ago there was a big scene where groups used to do classical things and hanR the hell out or them.

" Nero and thl' Gladiators would play 'Hell Of The Mountoin Kings' and B. Bumble and 1he StinJters

CHORDS " We'd like tu play a 12-

" Vocals are ou r weakest poi nt and a lways have been. We don't cla im to have good voices, but we thin k Lee does a_ very good job. It's • ques­tion or ge tting more confi­dence."

Have they ever thought of getting a separate singer?

T:i~es!tor:r b~~~~,:~e ~ .c~ Pa rt t1· me Marv Johnson - one of the host of Tamla invaders in the • chart- reads like a B-feature film plot.

y.!3,"~1~1:.:::~b1t~~n~:: o•t..t~'r.~~ h ·1t maker ,\ Ruse For My Rose" was able to confim, when hl' arrived last week for a three-week tour

" Berry Gordon cam1;.- in tht' ston.· where l was working at the time There was a p,ano there and I wa'-

gomg over some tunes J'd wnttcr\- f th playing u, some girl, in the ,1,,rc ro m e Berry and his wife had come In tt• make some purchases.

STEADY INCOME "We !.tarted talking and I made

an appointment to see Bern,, (the head of the Tamla-Motown Organi­sation} at his home and take alon~ some o f the material I'd written. 1 joined Motown in 1958 and that led to ' Come To Me,' which was my fi rst record."

But Marv wasn't singing full time fo r his li ving. To make sure he has a steady income, he still works m the purchasing depa rtment of the Motown Company in Det roit.

" l w rite a lot or songs- The Four Tops have recorded some o f my mater ial on an LP a nd Dave Ruffin has done some as well - but I'd rat he r be known as a singer than a writer

" Sam Cooke has been my biggest influence. He was a t remendous idol or mine. We travell ed a round quite a bit together and I got to know h im persona lly, we were very good friends

·• It 's t rue wha t they say about Ta mla Motown being like a big. happy fami ly. Marv in Gaye is a very good friend or mine and we visit each othe r's ho mes. Martha's a good friend and I've known a ll

grocery shop the Four Tops from before they were famous.

·• I think the reason behind the recent success or Ta mla over here is in ou r sales depa rtment because the music has been there all the time-some of the records in your cha rts are four yea rs old.

" The turning point in m y career came w ith • You Got Whal It Takes· which was a million sell er for me. Before t hat I was in a carnival road show travell ing round Florida and the Southern States. ll was a min iature ci rcus - a throw­back to the minstrel days- I was s inging with a quartet ca ll ed the

Sercnaders, doing R&B and Clyde McPhatt er stuff

"Thi,; is my fi rst visit to Britai n and I intend to do the full tou rist b it . . you know, the Changing of the Guard, Buckingham Palace, the Crown J ewels, the whole lot .

SUPPER CLUB " I'd like one day to open up a

supper club in my home state where I'd have good shows bu t with dinner before. By the t ime I get to this point, I feel I cou ld probably handle something like that.

"J've got plans for the follow­up to ' Rose.' I' ll be doing some more recordi ng when I get home."

Meanwhile " Rose " is st ill doing well fo r Ma rv and if the next record doesn't do as well , there's still the job in Motown's pu rchasing depart­ment wa iling fo r him.

Now he ls back In London to take pa rt In the filmi ng of Klngo;;ley A.ml.s's nove~ Take A Girl Like You. And to take advantage of his first British hit, .. Windmills o r Your Mind," written by Michel Legrand, which Noel sings over lhe credits or lhe fl Im, The Thomas Crown Affair.

" lt's the kind or song for which, fortunately, there has so far been no classifi­cation," said Noel, now sdely blUeted In a spacious flat In the shadow or the Houses or Parliament.

"Curiously, it's in the same class of song n • Young Girl,' which was a hit I had In the States.''

As Noel says, trying to categorise the song Is not easy. It Is not unJike the chansonler-style songs of Jacques Brei and Charles Aznavour, and perhaps can be loosely described as part of the Third Stream kind of song being sung and written by people like Joni Mitchell, Donovan, Leonard Cohen and others who .have roots In the contemporary folk music field.

Peter Sarstedt's "Where Do You Go To" ls another song that comes out or this particular bag.

"Sarstedt's song ls much more what I do," sa id Noel. "The lyrics of 'Wlndm.JUs' are a bit pretentious, not so persona l."

Did Noel think tha t the success or his and Peter's songs had opened up the market for lhl.s kind or material?

" I hope so," he replied. "I would never attempt to prophesy, of course, but Judging by tlle States where they have the advantage of underground radio stations. people Hke Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins and Gordon Lightfoot are ju.st starting to catch on. It's vsy nice to see people wanting to be moved.''

For the past three yean Noel has made America his home, and more recently, California. As well as Girl From UNCLE, he has worked In clubs and theatre. including parts In The Death or Joe Ea:, Half-A­Stxpence, and \Vhere.'s Charlie, a musical version of Charlie's Aunt.

Noel has had four albums. all or which did very well, released on the American market. His ' latest, "The Electric Experlmenl Js Over," will be Issued here soon by Reprise Records.

Now back home for a temporary stay, which, as well as filming, will Include radio and television dates and a possible BBC-1V special In May, Noel has had a chance to compare the British and American music scenes.

He said: .. The music scene here is ver:y different from the States. After the death of pirate radio, It has gone back to the old thJng of If you want to listen to one kind of music, you've aot to listen to all kinds or music.

" It's monopollstlc, I sup­pose. controlling what you want to hear.

should see a photograph in the papers and think the jnjury was more serious.

Violence is something that Jagger dislikes but finds almost unavoidable on occasion.

"The last time I was involved i11 a fight was with A photographer from an evening newspaper," said Mick.

•· Jt was during the 'drug­trials' and he cam~ to my front door and asked to take a photograph. J said, 'No,' and he took one. I was very up tight at the time and J hit him.

"You just -can't say you will never use physical violence because you never know what you will do when your back is up against a wall."

Jagger has lived for so long with the rest of the world looking on that he has almost forgotten what 1t is like not to be gawked upon There is almost nowhere in the world he can travel to where he can get privacy

" I've almost forgotten what it is like not to be stared

at. If people don't recog­nise you they think you look funny, think you 're a hippy or something. You never rea I ly get used to it."

As he goes through his life, almost every sneeze is reported by someone. What was all that pre­occupation with Black Magic? -"Oh, that was something Keith madt: up to tell a reporter at the airport," said Mick. " He 11ked us where we were goins and so we said: "To see a witch doctor up the

Amazon: Things like that 1-appe;i.

" I mean, we've all read books on magic anyone who has taken an acid trip has read a book on magic. Spiritual things are the most important things you can gel into."

Jagger tends to be ra ther hypercrilica I of the Rol­ling Stones' past endea­vours, and particularly of his own efforts.

Songs like " Get off My Cloud " and "Satisfac­tion " he looks on with a certain amount or con­tempt. "I mean I couldn't sit down and write any­thing like, ' t can't get, no, no, no, no, no . . . " anymore. All that was a bit adolescent but the sense is still true. • Little Red Rooster' is a single that 1 still dig, but it dicin't sell."

" But it was a number one record?"

" Yeah, but it didn't sell." " I thought ' Sympathy

With The Devil ' should have been a single."

" I dug it too - Andrew Oldham thought it should have been a single, but then we would have only had nine tracks for an album."

"Out of those tracks on the •Beg gars Banquet· album, are there any songs you would like to hear recorded by other artists?"

"Yeah, I'd like to hear Lulu do ' Factory Girl,' Barry Gibb do 'Sympathy With The Devil," Joe Loss do ' Parachute Woman ' ... h~ng on, I'll come. up with something nasty

oh yes, and Scott Walker to do ' Dear Doc­tor.'

The past year hu had a wealth of Stone-bites-fat­man-with-cigar stories. The Lavatory Wall album sleeve was a nice ex~ ample.

"l mean, we didn t show the WHOLE wall," recol­lectt:d Mick. "That would have been rude - we just showed the top half.

" It was so silly - who did they think they were pr~lecting? Everything wntten on the wall was relt>v• nt to the album. Do they really believe -le don't read things on public lavatory waits when they go anto them?''

The masterly aspect of the Begpn Banquet Pren Reception, which it0me people appeared to miu, was that Jagger actually had the Establishment chocking CIIJl.lrd pies at each other.

"Exaclly," smiled Michael. " I thouaht It would be an lntereatllli thins to

see how people would react. I thought it showed the best side of a lot of reporters

·• You might have thought it was not very nice - a lot of drunken journalists hurling custard pies al one another - inciuding me, I was a bi t drunk. But, you see, no one rea lly got up tight and they could have. -" Jt wasn't Tom Jones or someone doing it. tt was ' us ' and it su rprised me that everyone was so nice."

Apart from thei r rapid return to the charts last year wi th " Jumping Jack Flash " the most sat isfy­ing thing from Jagger's point of view has been the yet to be seen Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus TV spectacular.

Having seen the rough edits, I'm allowed to say that it is undoubtedly the best TV rock and roll show ever produced. It

did, however, provide some hang-ups for MJ. -"The Musician's Unioo steps all over you," said Mick. "Take Wilson Pickett, for example, who wants to bring in his own band - ciix musicians. five bookings and a couple of tellys . The M.U. says ' No,' for whatever reason. The result is that because he does not want to work with British musicians he doesn't know, there are no dates.

" I had the same kind of

It just doesn't help Fnglish musicians for the M.U. to take this kind or attitude - all it means is that for the next TV show we will do it in America, using American musicians." -A final question. With group~ breaking and splinte ring, whal 1s i[ that has kept the Stones together ror so Jong, as a group?

·• Success!'' said Mick. Q.E.D.

I could have wntten about how impressed I was with Jagger on stage when I saw him at the Parjs, Olympia two years ago - or was it three?

Anyway, he generated as much excitement as Wembley on World Cup Final day - and then there were those inter­views when we always seem to end up talking about my problems.

But who really wants to hear that Jagger is a sympatnetic character?

Who wants to believe nice things about the Rolling Stones' singer?

Q, What hH the Society achieved so rar?

A. Ju • purely spare-time amateu r body I think we have achieved a greal deal first, we have managed_ to main­tain a weekly club in thl' West End or London on the wurst night of the week, Mondays, presenting mu11ic: which is usually reckoned to have hardly any following at all

Since Christmas. particular• ly, there seems to have bet-n a real break1hrough with audiences, and interest is building all the time. For this, or course, we owe a lot to Roger Horton for allowinfl us to use his JOO Club premises, and also providing us wflh free publicity . Thi!". is JUSt Onf' or the many examples or practical co-opera tion wh1cb has been shown to us by other people In th• JU!7 business

for example, the way that Ronnie Scott and Pete King allowed us 10 use their premises las t year for the Benefit Night which John, Cleo and the whole Dank• worth Band did for us

Nearly everybody who is involved realises that it is not easy to bui ld up aud iences for the kind or music wit h which, of necesslly, we have so far been ma inly con• cerned, and ra r from seeing us. as compel ilion, they are anxious lhat we shou ld suc• ceed beca use • IOI of wha t we do will help to build audiences for the fut ure.

But it Is only fa ir to say that without the rea lly solid commi tment or John Jack, who used to manage the Old Place, iL Is ho rd to see how the I 00 nights could have continued

Q. What oth er practical things have you done?

A. Easily the most impor­tant or our act ivit ies outside of the Club was lhe monthly Jaz2: I~ Alive a nd Well series which have just finished a t the Conwa y Hall . There is still a curious kind of anti• concert conception amongst many jazz fans, and they are only prepared to see vis iting Americans in that way be· cause ft is frequently the only way you can sec them.

But I think that a concert in a small hall with a rt'Sponsive aud ience can build up its own atmosphere of "magic." I think it is true to say that the ones we have s taged have all had that special quality. I know the

Q. What financial assist• ance did you receive to put them on?

A. Without the support of the Arts Council and the Borough or Camden, who underwrote the series to the tune of £500, they would have been unthinkable.

We see It as part of our Job to give the jau musician the same kind of status in the eyes of those responsible for administering the arts as any other aroup of artist, and musician,.

So we were determined to

run the concerts on the basla or decent professional fees, and this inevitably would have meant that on a com• mercial baais they would have been • dead loss despite the good hous~ that we had.

One of our main achleve­menlJl has been to ahow that this kind of approach to jau presentation is perfectly pas. aible, and we hope that similar bodies could become established by active Jazz enthusiasts In other towns to

Sla'1,~ ~:01!:,r f:e;'~ple, that thiJ is happening in Torquay and Liverpool, but I am sure there is a lot more scope for Intelligently conceived concen promotion than that.

It is certa inly not true to say that we have only con• cent rated on or _given work to a few bands .

M AMA C A SS: 11 Move In A

Little Closer, Baby " States ide), Well how close do you want us to get honey?

There a in"t a hell of a lot of room on th is chaise longue for you, me and the bu t­ler .

Big Mamma ful fil s he r desire to record the Harmony Grass hit a nd a lthoug h she makes a competent cover. there is little of her own person­a li ty and the produc­tion makes her sound like an y othe r singer.

CLOUDS: "Make No Bones About It ' (Island). Bit of a disappo intment. They are a top class group, very exciting "live." But this is rather monotonous and doesn' t lead anywhere inter­es ting.

MEAL BOBBY HATFIELD: " Only

You " (Verve). Fol­lowing on the success of the rev iva l of "You've Lost That Lov ing Feel­ing •· here ls one of t he fl ct i on a I " brothers " making a meal or the old Platters hit. Already a Stateside hit

TANGERINE PEEL: "Never Say Never Again" (MGM). One of the best songs on the Bee Gees new double album " Odessa " and made single hit material by a worthy new group backed by Bee Geeian strings and strong rhythm section.

MIKE BLOOMFIELD AND AL KOOPER: "The Weight " (CBS). Two of the giants of the West Coast scene united again. Kooper was originally from Blood, Sweat and Tears and Bloomfield from the Electric Flag.

After the success of the " Super Session " album, they. staged a similar jam sessmn during three evenings at the Fillmore West Auditorium, San Francisco. A double LP of the results is due soon a nd this serves as a nice taste of things to come.

WAVE The pace is slow and

meaningful as the guitar and organ pick their way through the familia r tu ne, now a standard.

Paul Simon joins in the final verse or "The 59th Bridge St. Song " on the reverse side.

EGGY .. You're St ill Mine " (Spulc). A COVentry g roup with an unusually &ood pro­duction

Li1ten for a heavy baa fr:ttern and IOffle Ktea.nt•

v.J1 t~o~~• .~:"x~s well

KALEIDOSCOPE: .. Do It A,aln For Jeffrey " (Fon­tana) A • l•on& aroup

CASS ELLIOTT: sounds like any other singe r

one rarely sees about, which made a good album a year ago and submerged under a wave of criticism that they were too hu ng up on the Hobbit and all the Toi~ kien gea r - which they denied.

Th is is much better music anyway - less fairytalP and more guts.

STIFF BLUEJEANS: " Hey Mrs

Housewife" (Columbia). The Bluejeans are no longer swinging apparent• ly. Perhaps they drenched them in too much bleach and made them too stiff to wea r, let alone flap or swing.

I once tried to run•in a pair of jeans and I swear they stretched instead of shrunk. Then ended up looking like a pair or di,;coloured bell tents.

When I went bopping all my mates laughed and pointed; " Ho ho, look at th06e discoloured bell tents! " they sneered.

Jf you are going bopping tonight this might make the ideal music to roll along the streets to -lurching from side to ~ide, and punching park­ing meters with your bare fists .

It could be a hit, and if you wa nt to know what it sounds like - buy it.

BOPPING

STEPPENWOLF: • Rock Me " (Stateside). Music from the film Candy which I haven't seen, but my film adviser Bert Thug says: " See it, or I'll amash your head in "

This reminds me incred• ibly of an old Immediate Records demo of 1966 I used to play a lot when bored with the Over­landers Greatest Hill Volume 12. 11111 rally rocks and has a -t percuulon 1'-IIIOP-

Runner " (Tamla Motown). You all know this - it's a gas ennit? As a rev ival it could be a h it.

Talking of road runners, beware of mini-cab drivers who charge two quid for one pound jour­neys.

Their excuse is "That's what this company charges." The drivers are usually big thugs, so watch out.

SCREAM SCREAMIN' JAY HAW•

K INS: " I Put A Spell On You " (Direction). A com­pletely amaz ing sound, from 1956. lt has been recorded countless times since, but Hawkins' ver­sion really captures the atmosphere.

He doesn't really scream - he sings, and blows a tasty drop of saxophone.

The line up was Ernie Hayes (piano). Heywood Henry (bass) and Jimmy Panama Francis (d rums).

CHAMBERS BROTHERS: "Are You Ready" (Di­rection). Driving rock and soul, exciting and one for the chart.

four brothers plus Bri­ish drummer Brian Keenan blow up a hurri-

:~!s t~~t pf~~~~hake juke

They remind a _ bit of Sly And The Family Stone in parts.

ROLF HARRIS: •• Bluer

DITTY -

often featured by the Spirits or Rhythm back

in the Thirties. And a fine version of " Flying Home" they made with Lionel Ha mpton, too!)

ACADEMY: 11 Munching The Candy" (Morgan Blue Town). Three boys and a girl and they sound rather swell, in a folky sort of way.

Over to Bearded o·toole my folk expert: "Jeesus, a fine thi ng, inviting me to these hallowed pages."

Okay, skip the elaborate sarcasm Beard. What's with the sound? "Aye, tis a load of tamo'shanter."

FRANK SINATRA: "My Way " (Reprise). Well this !s going to be a hit.

M~nd 51~h!ra bo~isng~ur~ich1ls

made a good job of this beautiful song.

As I was saying to Bugs and Lefty only the other night, if the boss could lay another ballad on the mugs - 1 mean public he'd be right back i~ ~~:~ c;hooting up the

NUT

mus I wa rn you that anything you wear may he taken down and used to mop up the blood ..

DA NNY LA RUE: " Pegi,y O'Neil " (Pa ge One). An Irish ballad and more than likely to be a hit.

Over to my panel of . • . great heavens, what's that row? Jings, Bearded O'Toole is molesting Wendy Potts! Pack tha t in and back to your own beds at once!

WIZARD Now then, whe re's Michael

O'Drogeda, m y Irish adviser. " This is senti · menta l tosh l 'm thinking, mo re likely to a ppea l to the English peasants than a nybody in Ireland. And belt up Bearded, you are a disgrace to the Old Country, not to mention the Auld Sod."

MON KEES: " Tear Drop City" (RCA). Sorry chaps. I seem to have missed this one out.

Ac;~~~~~t toof Ol~he St~wtsh

{~iza~~:woc~,~l;:,:h;~/--...:~'l should bring Micky. Mike and Davy back into MM Pop 30.

GROOVY I've got to rush off to

corrupt and torture a few new boys with unspeak­able brutality, otherwise J'd be straight down the tuck shop to buy this newie, as mother's fifty guinea allowance, hamper of charge, and groovy new Msh pipe have arrJYed.

BRIAN POOLE AND THE SEYCHELLES: " Send Her To Me" (President). Aren't the Seychelles some islands somewhere? I wonder if they are still British?

J ~n never understand this constant clamour for independence. It's nice to have Cave Austin and Boots in the High St reet, and a ll the other benefits of firm and wise rule from Whitehall.

By the way, this is a nice record

la rly In America, It has been applied to groups Into whose music some peop le have read polit­ical and revolulionary meaning.... However, one person who has leaning!> towards that dlreclion is Roy Harper.

The long hair, the mous• tache, give him the ap­pea rance or a Che Gue­vara or sor ts and since he visited Cuba some time ago Roy has a de­cided preference fo r larg• ish ciga rs .

Roy ilas strong, even bitter views on records. He says, "tr you're a million• aire from Liverpool, you can make a great record ir you're anywhere neou· good. But of course the noise you make with a million pounds has noth• inf( to do with artistic value, however good the art itself Is.
