THE BOBBY BLOOM ALBUMMR -1035.

A deep and manly voice to reckonwith here. Jeff Barry, that indefatiga-ble and unfailing hit -maker, did theproducing. There are all sorts of hitsongs on this album, for which Barryand Bloom also played guitars, pianoand drums. Some achievement.

* * * *THE YARDBIRDS

Epic EG 30135.This is a retrospective of the Yard -

bird's work. There are two diskfuls ofYardbird music, featuring attractionsJeff Beck, Eric Clanton and JimmyPage. Those who mourn the break-upof the Pave rave group can own theirbest with this set.

WMCA Becomes Talk StationStephen B. Labunski, Manag-

ing Director of WMCA Radioin New York, announces thatWMCA will break with itsmore than 20 -year history ofpopular music programming tointroduce a 24 -hour telephone -talk format, the only one of itskind in New York.

On Monday, Sept. 21, the sta-tion will launch Dial -LogRadio 57 which Labunski de-scribes as "24 hours a day ofaudience involvement, listenerparticipation broadcasting. . . .

A chance for individual NewYorkers to feel a sense of be-longing to the real world, wherethings are happening; a senseof being listened to and beingcounter. . . . An opportunity totalk back to City Hall, to ques-tion newsmakers, to protest anew ordinance or congratulatea cop."

Under the new format, thetelephone will become an ex-tension of the microphone, withcalls both incoming, from lis-teners, and outgoing to news-makers and other interestingpeople anywhere in the world.Programming will be geared tomeet the needs and excite theinterests of listeners in all agegroups, including the importantyoung listeners long associ-ated with WMCA.

"We have lived through muchmore than a decade betweenJohn F. Kennedy's call for ayoung generation to cross theNew Frontier and Richard Nix-on's comment about CharlesManson," Labunski said. "Thesexual revolution, the popula-tion explosion, the black coun-terattack, the pollution crisis,Vietnam, Dallas, Chicago, Co-lumbia, Woodstock, Kent State,Jackson State, drugs, WallStreet, the Middle East, MartinLuther King, Benjamin Spock,Spiro Agnew, Eldridge Cleaver,John and Martha Mitchell,short skirts, tight money, 'X'movies, women's lib, Joe Na-math, Adam Clayton Powell,the Long Island Railroad, hard-hats and subway fires.

"Are the 1970's the time toworry about which hit tunes toplay and how many times? Tostick with the old forms andthe established formulas? Afterall, a large numbzer of sta-tions in the New York areaplay one brand or another ofpopular music and satisfy thatneed very well. Is WMCA'sprice opportunity for service,then, to continue to play popu-lar music, complemented bynews, editorials and talkthrough the night? Is that thebest way WMCA can serve theneeds and interests of a newbreed of Americans? A new

breed of New Yorkers? A newbreed of advertisers? Isn't therea need for another kind of sta-tion in New York? We thinkso.

VariedWMCA's Dial -Log radio 57 is

as varied as New York itself,Labunski said.

"News Call" in the morningdrivetime hours is made up ofnews and information; inter-views with important and in-teresting people around thecity, nation and world; humorand observations on what'shappening; telephone conversa-tions with New Yorkers and anexperienced news personality.

Throughout the rest of theday, the new WMCA will offerpersonalities and program con-tent according to the type oflisteners available at giventimes - businessmen, house-wives, sports fans, youth andfollowers of politics, govern-ment and more.

WMCA's history of commu-nity involvement is a long one,Labunski pointed out. Since1943, when the late NathanStraus bought the station, andlater under the aegis of R.Peter Straus, the station's cur-rent president, WMCA. has com-piled an unmatchednews and public affairs. Thestation has won every award inbroadcasting - several morethan once.

WMCA was the first stationto editorialize on a regular ba-sis, to sell time for the discus-sion of controversial issues, totake microphones into impor-tant courtroom trials, to en-dorse a Presidential candidate.WMCA was also the first sta-tion to ban cigarette advertis-ing -within a month of the1964 Surgeon General's report-during hours most popularwith young listeners.

Its court case on behalf ofNew York State reapportion-ment culminated in the historic"one man, one vote" ruling ofthe U.S. Supreme Court.

In 20 years, Barry Grdy'slate -night interview show haslogged thousands upon thou-sands of hours of stimulatingdiscussion with the widest va-riety of guests heard anywherein radio or television.

Concert Review

The Band at Their BestNEW YORK-The Band put

on a typically brilliant concertlast Saturday (15) at ForestHills Tennis Stadium. In a two -and -one -half-hour performancebefore an enthusiastic crowd,they showed once again thatthey are one of the finest com-binations of talent around.

As everyone with an interestin popular music knows, theBand members do not concernthemselves with self -promotionor politics. They are concernedwith music for its own sake, astate of affairs which is clearlyreflected in their concerts. AtForest Hills, they barely said aword beyond a polite "thankyou" after each song, and theirlyrics appealed to everyoneregardless of political beliefs.But the important thing about

the Band, as always, was themusic, which is so good that italmost justifies their name.

The Capitol group wentthrough two sets and severalencores of entrancing music. Tolook for highlights would befutile, but Garth Hudson's un-usual and virtuoso organ soloperformance not only provedthat he is a great musician, butseemed to say that the bulk ofthe Band's music, such as thebeautifully simple "TheWeight" and "Unfaithful Serv-ant," is simple by choice.

There is not really much elsethat can or should be said aboutthe Band, except that listeningto their records is not enough.They're even better in concert.

Club Review

Stooges ScoreNEW YORK-Someone made

a very good comment at Un-gano's the other night in themiddle of the Stooges perform-ance. He said, "Two hundredyears ago people would havebeen locked up for acting likethat; now he's [Iggy] a star."The statement is true and weshould be glad that Iggy is notbehind bars for Iggy's absencewould be a great loss to theater.

The Stooges, who record forElektra, are a rock and rollband in every sense of the term.They play excruciatingly loudmusic as Iggy screams, sings,beats himself, jumps and (in-variably) falls. Their sound, isthe sound of frustration andchildren's rage; their sound isalso incredible.

It is impossible to make avalue judgment via a via theStooges; they simply exist andthat is a pretty strong factorin their favor. As Iggy grovelsand wretches about and halfthe audience laughs as theother half is hypnotized, we arereminded of society as a wholein which half the populationfinds horror and violence amus-ing (TV) Viet Nam, etc.) andthe other finds it absolutely en-thralling.

Some mention should bemade of the Stooges sax playerwho apparently has beenstrongly influenced by many ofthe avant garde jazz figures ofour time including ArchieShepp, Albert Ayler, John Col-trane, Pharoah Sanders, etc.This man really has it together-as together, perhaps, as Iggywho is always in control of thesituation. That's life and showbiz. -Bob Moore Merlis.

Rock Ensemble'sKamen Visits

NEW YORK - Record Worldwas visited last week by MikeKamen, Keyboard player forColumbia's New York Rock En-semble. He took time out fromhis recent studio work (he'swriting a score for a movie) totalk to us about the group andhimself.

Mike Kamen

"The music we play today isgetting much closer to the mu-sic we were playing four yearsago. It seems to be that thepeople are moving towards usinstead of us moving towardsthem. People appreciate ourmusic more now than they didfour years ago," he said.

Been Through ManyUps and Downs

Mike feels that his group'ssuccess can be attributed to thefact that they have been to-gether for over four years andin that time they've beenthrough all the ups and downs.Each member loves one an-other as an individual and eachindividual is recognized. "Ourmusic is a composite of ourtastes and wants. We're all sat-isfied with what we do."

Their latest album on Colum-bia, "Roll Over" (which wasreleased last week), is theirbest album to date. "We didn'ttry to cram everything we haveinto one album, like our first.The more we cut albums, themore we learn."

NYRE used to be the NYRRE(the extra R was for Roll).When they went from AtlanticRecords to Columbia, theyomitted the Roll, now they'rejust Rock. They had to cancelall of their summer concertsbecause the lead guitarist, ClifNivison, came down with hepa-titis. But on Sept. 20, they'regoing to Oberland, Ohio, tohelp out a college with a pro-gram of rock concerts for theschool year. Their new albumis excellent, and this is onegroup which seems to be dedi-cated to good music.

has really come up with some-thing good. His newest group,Swamp Gas, made a strong andvery entertaining showing atUngano's last Monday (17).

The group features Kim Or-nitz, whose voice is undeniablysimilar to Joe Cocker's. Ornitzis one of the most personablelead singers ever to play theroom. His friendly manner andcontrasting powerful deliverygenerate good feelings and nif-ty vibes all around. So muchfor the quality of his voice.What sets Swamp Gas apart isthe songs themselves which areby and large hard rockers withsurreal lyrics. They openedtheir set with one titled "Pota-toe Strut" which, one supposes,is a new dada dance step.

The rest of Swamp Gas wasexcellent, too. The instrumen-talists play in a heavy but, some-how, not overbearing style. Theguitarist, known as Baird,showed great versatility andreally seemed to be enjoying him-self. Bassist Jock Davis anddrummer Rickey Salter kept itall together.

If Swamp Gas' first Eleutheraalbum is anything like the setthey played at Ungano's, themasses are in for a pleasantmusical treat. These guys area gas. -Bob Moore Merlis.

Buddah Presentation at PlayboyIn accordance with the de-

parture from their customarysales convention by holdingsmall regional sales meetingsto present fall product, BuddahRecords kicked off their EastCoast album presentation witha luncheon held at the Play-boy Club in New York City.Performing were CurtomRecords' the Impressions andKama Sutra artists, Brewer &Shipley.

Art Kass, Co -President of theBuddah/Kama Sutra group oflabels, explained to the distrib-utors present at the luncheonthe significance of this year'slimited number of fall releases."In order for our promotionpeople to devote an ampleamount of time toward famil-iarizing themselves with prod-uct, we felt that is was ourduty to hand select only a smallnumber of albums for releaseto insure maximum coverage.We believe that it is the qual-ity, not the quantity, that de-termines the success of thelabel," said Kass. The 18 -

minute slide presentation ofthe fall schedule LP releasesincluded: a new Melanie albumrecorded live at Carnegie Hall;a new Brooklyn Bridge albumproduced by Stan Vincent;Curtis Mayfield's first solo al-bum; an Impressions albumincluding both their hit, "CheckOut Your Mind," and theirnew single, "Baby Turn MeOn"; three albums from Sussexlabels, "Mutzie," "Dennis Cof-fey and the Detroit GuitarBand" and "Priscilla"; "Wah-onka" on Super K Records;"Head," an electronic soundsalbum which includes a color-ing book; a re -issue of theoriginal "Captain Beefheartand His Magic Band"; "MoreHappy Days" from the EdwinHawkins Singers; a first albumfrom Dorothy Morrison pro-duced by Lewis Merenstein; anew album from Willie Bobo;a classic "Little Richard" al-bum; and a "Barbara Mason"album from National GeneralRecords.

On Distributor's RolePrior to the slide presenta-

tion, Neil Bogart, Co -Presidentof the Buddah/Kama Sutragroup of labels, spoke brieflyon the importance of the dis-tributor's role in making avail-able a product which in manyother countries is not an expres-sion of freedom; but rather amethod of control.

"Is singing illegal? Melanieasked that question just lastweek. She asked the questionas she broke the law by singingthe song that 30,000 youngpeople wanted to hear. Melanie

sang at the Powder Ridge Fes-tival in Connecticut. She sang'There's a c hance peace willcome,' and as she sang it shewas breaking the law becausehalf a dozen politicians did notwant the festival to take placeand made it illegal for anygroup to get up on the stageand sing their song," saidBogart. He concluded hisspeech by emphasizing theresponsibility of everyone con-cerned in every aspeot of themusic industry toward keepingmusic an expression of freedom.

"Each one of us is very im-portant, because each one of usis the music and the music iseach one of us. All I ask isthat you listen to the music forthe answer to everything I'msaying and the answer to whatis happening in the world todaycan be found in that little pieceof plastic or tape that you havethe responsibility for."

The Gary FriedmanNobody Knows

"There is the saying, no mat-ter what the feeling it is neverthe same as when it happensto you. I recall opening nightlike it was yesterday. It wasmy first opening and I was awreck. Then again, I don't knowwho worked harder in thepreparation of the show, meor my wife, Barbara. She's oneof those unbelievable peopleyou read about but don't be-lieve exists. Her faith neverlet up once. She believed in theshow; but even more, she be-lieved in my music."

That was Gary WilliamFriedman talking about the off-Broadway production of "TheMe Nobody Knows," for whichhe composed the music. Theshow also won an Obie Awardin the "Best Musical of theYear" category for 1970. Sinceits initial performance at theOrpheum Theatre business hasbeen at an all-time high.

Presenting ExcerptsGary explains how the idea

for the show was born this way."One day, about a year ago, Ireceived a phone call fromHerb Schapiro. I asked whathe was doing and he told mehe was presenting excerptsfrom the paperback book 'TheMe Nobody Knows' with ahandful of children and a gui-tar in the ghettos of Trenton.It seemed one of the kids hada guitar and he would accom-pany these other kids as theydid their reciting on the street.

"Suddenly a flash went offin my head. Having taughtjunior high school in Bedford-Stuyvesant before making mu-sic my full-time work, I wasall too familiar with ghetto life.There was a lot I wanted tosay about it as a composer, butI needed a vehicle. I told HerbI thought he just might havea fantastic show and then Iproceeded to get in touch withproducer Jeff Britton. Jeffloved the idea and decided toback the production.

"Then it was a matter ofcasting the kids in the show,which involved tapping everyavailable talent source from300 kids from a Bronx juniorhigh school graduating class toa Bedford-Stuyvesant schoolproduction of 'Fiddler on theRoof.' Once we had a clear ideaof who the members of the cast

Gary William Friedman

would be we decided to bringin Will Holt to supplement thewriting we were using by thekids to write additional lyrics.Three of Herb's lyrics werealso used in the production.Within a matter of days afterthe show's opening we were inthe studio recording a cast al-bum for Atlantic."

Reaction 'Phenomenal'According to Frank Military

of Sunbeam Music, reaction tothe show's score has been"nothing short of phenomenal."Currently on the market is theSweet Inspirations record,"This World" b/w "LightSings." Play is heavy on bothsides. Atlantic has just re-leased an original cast record-ing of "Sounds" as a single.Melba Moore has recorded "IfI Had a Million Dollars" forMercury and recently per-formed it on the "TonightShow." An instrumental ver-sion of "Light Sings" will becoming out on Creed Taylor'sCTI label and there will be atleast two songs from the scorecut by UA artists within thenext few weeks.

On New ShowGary and Will are currently

in the process of working ona new show . . . this one forBroadway. Gary says, "It willbe about contemporary life andwe have either James Coco orZero Mostel in mind for thelead."

Members of the show's casthave been making network tele-vision appearances such as onthe "Tonight Show" and "MeryGriffin Show" with Gary con-ducting. Appearances like thesemean exposure for the show'sscore. They also help get thename Gary William Friedmanacross to the public which willbe hearing a lot about him inthe future.

`Joy' in ChicagoThe enthusiastic reception

given to Oscar Brown, Jr.'s hitmusical "come -together," "Joy,"which opened in Chicago onAug. 10 at the Happy Medium,was reminiscent of its openingnight in New York at the NewTheater, where it recently com-pleted a successful stretch ofsix months.

The first-nighter's in Chicago,Oscar Brown, Jr.s hometown,gave a roaring welcome toBrown and his co-stars JeanPace and Sivuca. Mayor Hatch-er of Gary, Ind., along withother local personalities, joinedthe cast and the zestful audi-ence in the rousing dance andsong finale, which had beena marked feature of the showin its run in New York andearlier in San Francisco. Thepress was equally excited.

The original cast album ofthe show has been issued byRCA Victor and the score pub-lished by Edward B. Marks Mu-sic Corp. "New Generation," anumber from the revue, was re-leased last week by A&R Rec-ords in a rendering by KeithTextor Singers.

Book Review

Updated GershwinBiog a Must

Author David Ewen, volum-inous writer on the musicscene, has creditably updatedhis definitive 1956 biography ofGeorge Gershwin, now called"George Gershwin: His Jour-ney to Greatness" (Prentice -Hall, $7.95).

In fact, Ewen has completelyre -written his text, includingconsiderable newly acquired in-formation on the life and worksof the late, great composer whodied a tragic, untimely deathat the age of 39 in 1937. Amongmany sources, Ewen thanksbrother Ira Gershwin and hiswife, Lee Gershwin, who pro-vided the new and valuable pho-tos, as well as lengthy inter-views. The book includes, too,in its appendix lists of allGershwin works written forvarious media, including cred-its for all theatrical produc-tions.

Attractively presented in itsnew package, Ewen's Gershwinbiography is an absorbing per-sonal drama even for those onlypassingly familiar with hismagnificent music (if, by thisdate, such an animal exists).For music lovers in any genre,it's a must.

Tape Carton InnovationThe new package being used

for a best-selling Capitol Rec-ords tape recording may be theanswer to the recording indus-try's problems of theft, visibil-ity, graphics and customer ac-cessibility to tapes.

Designed by Container Cor-poration of America, the newpackage should help increasetape recording sales. Surveysshow that pre-recorded tapessell better when openly dis-played, rather than when keptin locked cabinets. When theunpackaged, compact tapeswere left loose for customerexamination, they oftentimesended up in a shoplifter'spocket.

The new cartons are large

enough to discourage theft, en-abling open tape displays forconvenient consumer browsing.The standardized 4" x 12" car-ton was designed so that threepackages fit in existing recordbins. The package itself is aneffective point -of -purchase dis-play because the carton sizeprovides adequate space for ad-vertising copy and graphics.

Both the larger 8 -track andthe small cassette are packagedin the same size carton. Thepackage is also designed so thatit can be made with a window.For major releases, the win-dow is eliminated and specialgraphics are used on the pack-age surface to describe the re-cording. For many short run

Fly by Night Sound EvolvesInto Location Recorders, Inc.

Two years ago when Aaron:iron, President, and Larry

')ahlstrom, Senior Engineer,formed Fly By Night Sound

eir plan was to operate astr.iditional remote recordingspecialists. However, early intheir operation, it became ap-parent that remote recordingwas rapidly becoming more so-phisticated. There was an in-creasing interest in on the siterecording of festivals and con-certs and people were becom-ing more discriminating aboutthe quality of sound reproduc-tion. No longer would the"throw the Ampex in the Hertztruck" type of recording suffice.

Aaron Baron had been SeniorEngineer at A&R Recording's7th Avenue operation and LarryDahlstrom was Senior Engineerct A&R's West 48th Street fa-cility. Both men knew that thenew requirements of the remotefield would call for speciallyCesigned and constructedequipment, rather than thestandard studio equipmentbrought to the location. It wasat that time that they starteddevelopment of a new record-ing system, which they recentlyput into operation as LocationRecorders Inc., with headquar-ters at 429 West 46th St. inNew York (212) 586-8565.

The location Recorders Sys-tem is built into a 33' GMCtruck.

Equipment Includes . . .

The equipment includes a 3M16 track tape recorder, convert -able to 8; 604E Altec Speakers;custom designed control boardand two channel stereo record-er by D. B. Audio; over 60mikes including Neuman, Senn-heiser, Shure, Electrovoice,AKG, etc.; and an apartment -like interior with wood panel-ing, carpeting, sofa, air condi-tioning and heating. The sys-tem is completely self-containedand carries its own generatorfor power supply when neces-sary. When the unit draws pow-er off local current lines, it uti-lizes a motor frequency con-trol crystal oscillator unit,which maintains the speed of

items, a window is provided onone side of the package andthe tape is identified directlyfrom its own label.

If the recording becomes agood seller, a label can be puton the reverse side of the pack-age for display purposes, re-ducing inventory and labelproblems.

the equipment regardless of thepower frequency. These powercapabilities allow the LocationRecorders System to be utilizedanywhere in the world.

Ideally Designed

The system is ideally de-signed for recording live con-certs, coupled with TV stationsor video tape facilities whichhaven't the constant need tomaintain their own sophisti-cated, high fidelity sound equip-ment. It was recently put to usein this way to record the soundfor "Mid Summer Pop," a TVspecial which will be aired onAvco Embassy -owned stations.The show was created and video-taped by Avco Embassy's Cin-cinnati outlet WLWT at the Cin-cinnati Pop Festival. LocationRecorders recorded, and post -synched the sound for them.

It has also been used for uni-que on -site recording for com-mercials, including a Delco Bat-tery spot shot under NiagaraFalls.

The current trend toward ru-ral creative centers a la Wood-stock, where music people dosome of their best work awayfrom urban pressures, hascreated an even greater needfor sophisticated on -site record-ing systems. The Location Re-corders System was recentlyused to record the Band's newCapitol LP, "Stage Fright," atthe Woodstock Playhouse.

Success by DegreesNEW YORK -Just back from

a three-week tour of Australia,the Three Degrees are backhome playing to audiences whohave their hit single "Maybe"already on their lips.

It was not always so for theyoung ladies who record forRoulette.

The group, consisting ofSheila Ferguson, Fayette Pink-ney and Valerie Holiday, hasbeen together for over threeyears and has had a very suc-cessful club act which is puttogether by their manager,Richard Barrett, who alsowrote "Maybe." The club actwas the group's main concernin lieu of a hit record but nowthey are immersed in the re-cording as well as performingaspects of music. They haverecently appeared in Atlantic

City, Bermuda, Detroit, Cura-cao and are slated to play theCopa for three weeks in Oc-tober. They have appeared on"every show except Sullivan"including Carson, Griffin,"Scene '70" and "Soul!"

"I Do Take You," which isnot included on their firstRoulette album, is their nextsingle which they said "justfloored us." The group is alsoactive in the commercial fieldwith a Winston spot to theircredit and the Schaefer jingleas a result of their winningthe Schaefer Talent Contest."We don't even drink," theydeadpanned.

"Maybe" is probably the big-gest break in the history of thegroup but Valerie claims "weweren't surprised but we werepraying for it."

Concert Review

Apollo All -StarsNEW With

Wonder headlining, and theNiteliters, Main Ingredient,Glass House and Ohi-Litesoffering strong support, theApollo Theater presented thosein attendance with a fine after-noon of R&B last week (17).

RCA vocalists the Main In-gredient, backed by the Nite-liters (also on RCA), openedwith an excellent rendition ofthe seldom performed "I'm SoProud." The three-man group isstill ironing out its act, but theyshowed much promise, especial-ly in performing their newsingle, "You've Been My In-spiration." The Main Ingredientwas followed by Brunswick'sChi-Lites and Invictus' GlassHouse, each doing three strongnumbers. Particularly well donewas the Chi-Lites' currentsingle, "I Like Your Lovin' (DoYou Like Mine?)."

Finally Stevie, whose "Sign-ed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours"is at the No. 5 spot on RecordWorld's Top 100 Pops, per-formed a lengthier set whichdemonstrated both his tremen-dous soul and his versatility.He went through many of hishits, including "For Once inMy Life," and performed wellon organ, drums and harmonica.

All groups at the Apollo werereceived well by a normallyhard -to -please audience.

Club Review

Kris, Jake Big at Bitter EndNEW YORK-Kris Kristof-

ferson, noted for his songwrit-ing and scholarly exploits atOxford (England, not Missis-sippi), made his New York de-but last Wednesday (19) at theBitter End. He was accompa-nied by several excellent musi-cians, the most familiar (toNew York audiences) of whichwas Zal Yanovsky.

Kristofferson played a loose'set and sprinkled some good-natured kidding into his act.His easygoing demeanor is re-flected in many of his songswhich are gentle, slow-pacedtunes usually with a bit of re-flection or humor.

"The Law is for Protectionof the People" ("We don't needno hairy -headed hippies scaringdecent folks like you and me")was a tasteful bit of social com-mentary. Another song well re-ceived and well performed washis latest Monument single,"Beat the Devil," which fea-tures a compelling talking in-tro. "Me and Bobby McGee"and "Sunday Mornin' Comin'Down" (which Johnny Cashhas just recorded) are his mostwell known numbers and, con-

sequently, were received withgreat enthusiasm. Kristoffersonis among us at last.

Also appearing at the BitterEnd last week was Polydor'sJake and the Family Jewels.Jake, it would be remembered,was half of the team of Bunkyand Jake and served time asone of the Magicians, a legen-dary Nite Owl group. His newgroup plays good-time music inthe Nite Owl-Bleeker Street tra-dition, and it's great to hearagain.

The other members of thegroup are also veterans of theVillage scene, coming from theMagicians, King Bees andMyddle Class as they do. Jakeand the Family Jewels are asummation of all that is goodabout New York rock and roll.They're into old rock, especiallythe old New York group sound(Sonny Till and the Orioles)and mix it up with some niftylyrics ("Uncle Henry's Base-ment," "I Remember Cissy'sBaby") and come up with hon-est to goodness good-time mu-sic. It just can't be beat.

Iglesias Joins RouletteNEW YORK-One of Spain's

leading motion picture starsand singers, Julio Iglesias, whorecently had the No. 1 recordin Spain, "Gwendolyne," has re-cently signed with RouletteRecords.

Iglesias' first LP release hereentitled "Ya Canto," which in-cludes "Gwendolyne," is nowbeing prepared by Roulette fora fall release, under heavy pro-motion. President Morris Levyfeels that Julio could have atremendous success throughout

the United States and PuertoRico.

The deal was arranged andconcluded by music publisherIvan Mogull, who will controlthe publishing rights for mostof the songs in this LP. Repre-senting Disc Columbia Records,Spain, was Enrique Garea, andfor Roulette Records, Levy.

Mogull has also acquired thesub -publishing rights to "Gwen-dolyne" for the territories ofCentral and South Americaand Japan.

Col, Epic New Numbering SystemColumbia and Epic Records,

in an effort to simplify and in-crease the efficiency of catalog-ing and ordering their expand-ing record and tape lines, haveestablished a new, permanentprefix and numbering system.The system, which goes intoforce with the fall release, is acarefully constructed plan de-signed to eliminate the need forrevision with the addition ofnew product lines in the future.

Beginning with the AugustConvention releases, all cate-gories of LPs and all Columbiafamily labels will be in numeri-cal sequence beginning with30001. In addition, some of the

product line -designators havebeen altered to establish a con-sistent pattern.

The new system will elimi-nate the necessity of having torefer to multiple sets of num-bers as well as line -designatorsfor each release. It also elimi-nates the possibility of havingduplicate numbers with differ-ent label -prefixes.

The new system applies tonew releases only. All itemscurrently in the catalog willretain their old designators andnumbers. There will be no con-version of past releases to thenew system.

Said Rev.

He wenton to state, "The previous cen-tury was the era of the 'ex-clamation point.' However,this is an age of 'question

Club Review

Nancy Pleases PalaceLAS VEGAS - Rome wasn't

built in a day, nor was theNancy Sinatra show whichlaunched the fourth anniversa-ry of Caesar's Palace in LasVegas.

It was more than obviousthat the Hugh Lambert pro-duction took months of ardentrehearsal, but the question waswhether Nancy's obscure rep-ertoire deserved such effort.Tunes like "Wonderful Guy,""I'm Not a Girl Anymore," "MyMother's Eyes," "Cock -EyedOptimist" and "We Need a Lit-tle Christmas" seem a bit anti-quated for the assertive voiceon "These Boots Are Made forWalking."INWMI.1.W.W.keMIOkew

Nancy Breaks RecordsPlaying to an over -capacity

audience of 17,000 people, Nan-cy Sinatra broke every existing14 -shows -per -week attendancerecord at Caesar's Palace, LasVegas, for the first week ofher four -week engagement, an-nounced Dave Victorson, Direc-tor of Entertainment.

Nancy's voice lends itselfbest to material likeher "Boots" and like the rous-ing "Drummer Man" numberwhich featured the renownedHal Blaine on drums. Her cos-tumes, seta and lighting werenothing less than spectacular.

Fine Blossoms SupportAlso fine was the support

given by the Blossoms and thebolstering done by MGM's Os-mond Brothers. The latterproved to be the accent on theshow. Their flawless perform-ance demonstrated that theywill soon be headlining theirown show. The Brothers' ap-pearance and mannerisms arerefreshingly punctilious, andthey put "good clean fun" backon the stage. Group's best mom-enta would include "MotownMedley," "Close to You" andyoungest brother Jimmy (onlysix years) singing Nancy's dad-dy's hit, "That's Life."

Like TV SpecialThe Blossoms added to Nan-

cy's sweet voice and on theirown. They particularly hit with"Get Ready." The entire pack-age, which seemed like a TVspecial and which may verywell find itself just that, endedwith Nancy Sinatra doing "Hol-ly Holy." Overall, show seemeda sure crowd pleaser.

Next Caesar's attraction:Frank Sinatra. -Ron Baron.

Junior Mance BranchesNEW YORK - Atlantic's

Junior Mance is now in the mid-dle of a break from performing,and found time to stop by Rec-cord World to talk about hislatest happenings.

Able to Relate"I feel that I am able to re-

late to the younger audiencesmuch better than I used to. Mytastes have widened to all formsof music which has had an ef-fect on the music I play. I'mstarting to branch out my tal-ents and I seem to be gettingaway from straight -form jazz."

On his new album he workswith people like Eric Gale (gui-tar), Chuck Rainy (bass) andBilly Cobbal (drums). "Myplaying is basically the same.I think the change in my musiccan be partly attributed to thefact that I am surrounded bydifferent people who play differ-ent accompaniments. It's hardto classify my music. All I cansay is that it's my music andit's what I want to play."

ToorgEyeview EuropeThe Greenaway Way

By DAVE FINKLE

NEW YORK- Roger Green-away, who explained to RecordWorld last week that he doesn'tthink of himself as a publisheror a songwriter or an adminis-trator, actually is all three ofthese and more, like a top-flightsession singer. He thinks ofhimself as a "guy who doeswhat he likes and nothing else,"he explained.

It all depends on where youstand. Greenaway, who is Pro-fessional Manager of A. I. R.publishing concerns in England,talked about himself and hisendeavors during the latest ofhis two to three trips a yearto the states.

"I do my publishing work inthe day," Greenaway said, "andmy production work at night.And I write when the mood hitsme."

Greenaway started writing in1966, when a group he had beenpart of for a number of years,the Kestrels, was whittled downto himself and his close friendfrom childhood days, RogerCook. "I had asked Roger tojoin us after a member had left.Within three months of hisjoining us, everybody decidedto split for one reason or an-other. I felt guilty about invit-ing Roger up to share a cold -water flat in London, and so Isaid, 'the only thing we can dois write.' The first song we everwrote, and this is no bull, was`You've Got Your Troubles.' "

Smooth SailingFrom there on the sailing

was generally smooth, remark-ably so. "You've Got YourTroubles" led to an introduc-tion to Beatles producer GeorgeMartin, head of A. I. R. and histransformation of the RogersCook and Greenaway into Davidand Jonathan when Martin sug-gested they cut the Beatles'"Michelle." (David and Jo-nathan were on Capitol in thestates during their brief ca-reer.) "You've Got Your Trou-bles" also led to the Fortunesand Greenaway's first produc-tion work.

About two years ago, Green-away- took over his administra-tive chores for A. I. R. Cookdidn't. "I am an administrator,"Greenaway noted. "Roger isn't.He's a great talent, but he

Roger Greenaway

doesn't have a business head."Where their song writing isconcerned, Cook and Greenawayput both their names on allsongs and split all royaltiesdown the middle, even thoughthey frequently write separatelyand will make no bones aboutadmitting it.

As head of A. I. R. publishingGreenaway heads, as well, sub-sidiary firms Cookaway, whichpublishes all Cook Greenawaysongs, Maribus and Alto. Writ-ing for these firms he has KeithDrewett and Peter Dymond,who were referred to him byPaul McCartney, Cliff Corbettand Neil Lancaster, David Ma-thews and Tim Harris, Harryand Roland Barter, Belle Gon-zalez, the Hollies and GeorgeMartin, when he cares to com-pose, mostly for movies now.

"None of my writers are ex-clusive," Greenaway said, "Ifigure if I do a good job forthem, they'll keep bringing metheir songs. So far, even thoughnone of my writers are exclu-sive, I publish all their songs."

Despite his publishing sched-ule the mood for writing hasevidently hit since he has a fewreleases coming up-Tony Bur-roughs' "Every Little Move SheMakes" and Toomorrow's "ICould Never Live Without YourLove."

Producing for New DuoHe is also involved in produc-

ing records for new duo Youngand Renshaw, White Plains and,still, the Hollies. He also pro-duces his own demios, and thoseof Mike Leander and MitchMurray and Peter Callander.And commercials-the most no -

Music festivals, rock festivals in particular, are examined ina new Macmillan book ($7.95; paperback $3.50) called "Fes-tival!", written by former Rolling Stone staffer Jerry Hopkinsand featuring photographs by Jim Marshall and Baron Wolman.

The reduction of a cultural phenomenon to text and pictureswill most likely not be as profitable for Macmillan' as the Wood-stock movie was for Warner Brothers. Somehow, as good as thisattempt is, a book just doesn't convey the sensualism of a rockfestival, which, of course, doesn"t mean it won't sell.

Hopefully, it will be heavily stocked in airport magazinestands where it will be bought by straights interested in thepictures. If they get beyond these they will learn much of theyounger generation's thinking about things.

Concert Review

McKuen in Deeply Felt PerformanceHOLLYWOOD - Talking

about the rapid rate of pop cul-ture and appearing in levis, redsweatshirt and sneakers, RonMcKuen set the stage for a lit-tle boy lost scene at the Holly-wood Bowl on a recent Fridaynight.

His own personal aura com-municates a spirit of deep lone-liness and long past youthfulglow. The warmth, tendernessand passion are all his-deeplyand revealed in his writing,singing and readings.

The majority of the audienceat the Bowl were moved by hissensitive styles and raucousquavering voice, which liftsand belts out sounds that warmeven the most distant seatedsoul, as in "I'm Not Afraid."

Accompanied by the well-bredStanyan Strings, with ArthurGreenslade arranging and con-ducting, McKuen went throughsuch favorites as "Love's BeenGood To Me," and "The WorldI Used To Know." As a lyricisthe goes from witty, as in "Sat-urday Night In Knightsbridge,"to social commentaries in "Sol-diers Who Want to Be Heroes."A pure pop version of "MadameButterfly" delighted the audi-ence, as did his own declaredfavorite, "Blessings In Shadesof Green."

Two of his orchestral com-positions, "Adagio for Harpand Strings" and a world pre-miere of the "Concerto for

Guitar and Orchestra" featur-ing Joe Pass, were full of spiritand well received.

In his readings, "Thread ofHope" from his new book"Fields of Wonder," and"Sloopy" from "Listen to theWarm," he was most effective.

Throughout the three-hourconcert, the McKuen fans re-sponded with thunderous ap-plause and ovations.

And he's still available forsessions. "Actually I mostlywork for my friends now. Ifthey call and I'm free, I go."Greenaway is heard on "UnitedWe Stand" and is one of thetwo Pipkins (the hicrh voice: thelow voice is Tony Burroughs),among other things. He re-norted that the Pipkins click,"Gimme Dat Ding," was takenfrom a children's show called"Oliver in the Overworld,"about a clock that loses its dingand goes out into the world tosearch for it.

Greenaway takes credit forone other accomplishment. "Ican say the Kestrels were theones who taught the Beatleshow to bow together. We wereon tour with them, and we al-ways did synchronized move-ments. You know, one, two, bow.The Beatles thought it wasgreat and asked us to showthem how. We did."

Atlanta -Macon ReportBy LEE BARRY

"Hard luck" Bobby Smith is back in the ballgame these dayswith his Bobby Smith Productions at the Starday-King Studiosin Macon. Bobby was the first person to record Otis Reddingback in 1963 when the late, great Big 0 was with Johnny Jenkinsand the Pinetoppers. Smith and Redding went to the TV studiosat the University of Georgia in Athens and cut a tune entitled"Shout Bamalama" (the same song that Bobby later produced onMickey Murray which was the first hit on Shelby Singleton'sSSS International label).

"At the time we first cut 'Shout Bamalama,' I knew so littleabout the record business that I had the sax out in front of Otis.We did press the thing and managed to sell about 4,000 copies inthe state of Georgia on the Orbit label," said. Bobby from hisnew offices at Macon's Starday-King Studios.

Georgia boy Wayne Cochran had written a tune in the backseat of Bobby's car in 1963 entitled "Last Kiss" which he andBobby released on a small label. The Cochran single receivedjust enough action to come to the attention of J. Frank Wilsonand the Cavaliers out Texas way. In 1964 found J. Frank Wilsonand the Cavaliers releasing a cover version of "Last Kiss" thatwent on to sell a million and a half copies.

Recalling the first day he and Wayne Cochran heard the coverversion of "Last Kiss" Bobby said, "Wayne and I thought it wasso bad that we just threw it in the trash can and went back in thestudio to rerecord it ourselves, that's how much we believed inthe song! Three weeks later we looked at the record charts andJ. Frank Wilson had a stone smaFili!"

Unfortunately, Bobby's bad breaks didn't end with WayneCochran and "Last Kiss," for later in 1964 he discovered a girlin 'Columbia, South Carolina, named Linda Martell and spent timecutting R&B tunes with her. Linda Martell is now the only blackAmerican female vocalist enjoying success on the Country andWestern charts.

Bobby (we hope) will put it all together now with his new(Continued on page 45)

rWegn Country Singles ReviewsCHET ATKINS & JERRY REEDS-RCA 47-9890

CANNONBALL RAG (American, BMI)TENNESSEE STUD (Warden, BMI)

The A side is strictly Chet Atkins thumb and finger stylepicking that country fans will dig. The B side belongs to Jerry.It's a hip version of the "Plowboy's" hit.ROY ROGERS-Capitol 2895

MONEY CAN'T BUY LOVE (Cedarwood, BMI)YOU AND ME AGAINST THE WORLD (Contention, SESAC)

The King of the Cowboys has his first contemporary countrycut, and it looks like it's going to get a King's share of airplay.

MARTY ROBBINS-Columbia 4-45215JOLIE GIRL (Bujo, BMI)

Marty is on a ballad kick with his new release. It's a com-plete departure from the kind of production and arrangementassociated with the Robbins style.

PORTER WAGONER-RCA 47-9895JIM JOHNSON (Owepar, BMI)

ONE MORE DIME (Owepar, BMI)Producer Bob Ferguson has another winner for the "Black

Racer." It's a Bill Owens tune that tells a story with a surpriseending. Dolly Parton wrote the flip.

BEN PETERS-Liberty 56174I CAN'T GET OVER YOU (Shelby Singleton, BMI)

DOWNTOWN USA (Ben Peters, BMI)Ben and Don Tweedy produced "I Can't Get Over You" for the

country market. "Downtown" is a little too uptown for hardcountry stations. Peters is one of the greatest talents going.

JOHN GARY-RCA 47-9868IN THE WIND (September/Port, ASCAP)

IN THE MORNING (Tandem, BMI)TV star John Gary has been picking up country play on this

cut. MOR stations will definitely be interested.

SKEETER DAVIS & GEORGE HAMILTON IV-RCA 47-9893LET'S GET TOGETHER (Irving, BMI)

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL (Ahab, BMI)Originally a church TV commercial, once a pop hit, Skeeter

and George now take it to the country. It's a good cut.

THE HAGERS-Capitol 2887SILVER WINGS (Blue Book, BMI)

FLOWERS NEED SUN, TOO (Blue Book, BMI)The "Hee Haw" twins do a good job on this Merle Haggard tune.

It's a little more country than the boys have tried in the past.

GORDON-Trip Universal -T-100MAMA CALL ME HOME (Dunbar, BMI)

Gordon has a good cut on the hit song "Mama" and the Trippromo staff are sold on the fact that they've got the hit. Thisone is produced by Bud Reneau.

HANK THOMPSON-Dot 17354I'M AFRAID I LIED (Tree, BMI)

ONE OF THE FORTUNATE FEW (Attache, BMI)Hank has departed from his famous Western swing style to

join the more commercial styling of West Coast producers. Good-bye Western swing!

DEANNA LUND-Nasco 010I'M GONNA PUT MY LOVE IN THE WANT ADS (Acuff -Rose, BMI)

A very good 'country recording from this new country labeland this new country artist. It looks like producer Glenn Snoddyhas a country smash!

BRENDA CARTER-D 1284THE WAYS OF A MAN (Raydee, SESAC)
