The Fourmost

in disguiseIN the insecure, up-and-down world of pop music it's a rare thing

for anybody (except a handful of top stars) to know that bigmoney will keep coming in all year long.

The Fourmost know. Back in May they thought they were setfor a few weeks at the London Palladium in "Startime", the showthat replaced "The Man In The Moon" (which didn't show theexpected staying -power). But "Startime" has proved to be a bighit and will run until the end of the year-when the Fourmostimmediately move to "Gerry's Xmas Cracker", a presentation thatopens in Liverpool over the holiday (which means that theFourmost can spend a week at their parents' homes) and thengoes to Glasgow and Leeds.

How have they got on withthe show biz old-timers whomight have been expected toresent these youthful beat"upstarts"?

THE CRAZY KINKS!

at least it was different."There's nothing kinky about us though," they explained: "May-

all the leather and suede fashions that we knew people wouldremember our name."

They did. And the Kinks plan to stick to their throbbing beautyR. & B. style too.

"We won't disappoint our fans by doing a tender ballad next,"they told R.M.

Which is good news. But then can anyone imagine the Kinkssinging a tender ballad. Record Mirror certainly can't'

WAKE UP TO

THE FACT!FANS, wake up there! Why not

buy your idol's records whilehe can appreciate the sales?

I think it tragic that you seemonly to wake up to the fact thatrecords are worth having only aftersome tragedy as, now, with JimReeves, aryl earlier Mike Holli-day. The demand for Jim Reeveshas certainly increased. The majorrecording companies are now de-leting discs only a few months old.So hurry! If your "star" is worthlistening to, he's worth buying.-Roger E. Saunders, 64, AbbotsfordGardens, Woodford Green, Essex.

R.M. READERWHAT has happened io

the good old daysof American records? How Iwish they'd return. TheEnglish group scene at themoment is going berserk,group upon group appearinglike an attack of mushroomsNinety per cent of them arepure rubbish. Really goodartistes such as Presley,Sedaka, Lee, Cooke, Vee andso on are not getting a fairshake any longer - everydisc show on TV and radiofeatures less and less Ameri-can discs. Let's face it,American groups are moremusically accomplished thanours . . with our "trang,twang, bash." Roll on a re-turn to the good old days.-Stewart N. Fox, 59, ParkAvenue, Palmers Green,London, N.13.

GIRL DRUMMERSALL the publicity about the

Honeycombs stresses the "newgimmick the group have: a

girl drummer. New Rubbish. Girl -drummers aren't so very new. TheRamrods who had that great hitversion of "Rider In The Sky"started it off some four years ago.In fact, their girl -drummer evencost them a British tour when,because of difficulties, she was notallowed to play in this country.We're afraid most of the Britishbeat groups find their originalityfrom their American chart pre-decessors.-R.

'DAVE CLARKFIVE AREWRITING POORSONGS...ANDGERRY IS TOO..'

MITCH MURRAY

NOWADAYS the trend isfor artistes to write their

own disc material. So . . .

they earn more loot thanusual by getting royaltiesfrom the songwriting - ontop of the usual recordingfees and income.

Names in America thatspring to mind: Chuck Berry,Roy Orbison, Del Shannon,Little Richard, the Everlys,Bo Diddley. All successfulsongsmiths.

In Britain, we have probably tnebiggest team of them all in JohnLennon and Paul McCartney. . .

writing today's hits and tomorrow'sstandards. And there are theShadows, Pennies, Gerry Marsden,the Stones, Dave Clark, Marty Wilde.

But what do the established song-writers think about this "switch".After all, it could easily cut acrosstheir ONLY source of income. SoI visited one of the leading com-posers in pop music - amiableMitch Murray, who penned (as ifyOU didn't remember) "How Do YouDo It", "I Like It", "I'm TellingYou Now", "You Were Made ForMe".

Mitch: at home in his newly -acquired Hampstead flat, Smart, inPale blue shirt, grey trousers, blackelastic -sided boots. The 24 -year -oldlit a miniature cigar, poured gener-

1964

ous drinks. And talked."While this group scene goes on,

I'm concentrating on building myfuture as a full-time songwriter. Ihave quite a lot going in differentcountries and I'm writing for foreignmarkets. So the group businessdoesn't effect me financially.

"I'm back-pedalling, rather thanjoining the rat race to write 'R andB numbers' that all sound the same.I'm also starting on a new musical.But I can say that, in a way, it isnot a good thing for groups towrite their own numbers.

"The Dave Clark Five have beenwriting their own songs lately andthey are not having the successthey should, On stage, they are verygood, but they have been writingthemselves some very poor songs

and that's why they've missed thenumber one spot recently."

Also once a star had a big hit-by a full-time songwriter - and thefollow - up is one of the group orstar's own songs, then it would dowell on advance sales alone. But itwouldn't last for ever because oncethe public realised a song was weakit wouldn't be bought.

Mitch said that Louise Cordet re-corded "Don't Let The Sun CatchYou Crying" - but it didn't meana thing. But when Gerry, the writer,and the Pacemakers did it, theresult was a big hit. Why? Becauseof his name and selling powers,not chiefly the song's merits.

Then Mitch talked about thegroups and their songs, commenting

on the standard of their writing."John and Paul, of course, write

terrific tunes and I would agreethat they are tomorrow's standards.Freddie Garrity also writes welland if he had more time I thinkhe could be a very big writer.

"I have every respect for GerryMarsden as a performer but MYopinion of his songwriting is nothigh. If he concentrated on his disccareer, and recorded good songs,he would do much better. Ratherthan try to be a songwriter, whichI don't feel he is at present. There'snothing personal in this. I haven'toffered him anything which heturned down, so there's no chip onmy shoulder."

Mitch added that Marty Wildehad always written good songs. "But

3

Says MITCH MURRAY to GEORGE ROONEY

unfortunately nowadays he doesn'thave commercial success as awriter or a singer. I don't knowwhy, but there it is."

And Mitch then paid back theRolling Stones, in their own coin,for their criticism of HIM on "JukeBox Jury" recently.

"I don't think much of the Stones'songs," he said boldly, "I like 'AsTears Go By', which they wrote forMarianne FaithfuR, but some oftheir stuff is terrible. My impressionof their work is not very high, butthis could be mainly because Mick

Jagger doesn't like my songs."He thought that Peter Lee Stirling

is quite capable and so were theManfred Minn men, But whether ornot they could write in a vein otherthan R and B was a different mat-ter,

A parting question to the forth-right Mitch Murray was: Any ad-vice for these 'part-time' songwrit-ers.

Said Mitch: "Buy my book. 'HowTo Write A Hit Song'. Published byB. Feldman. For five shillings.Thank you."

HONEYCOMBS TOURLeytontries Tamlasound

Before flying to Rome tostart filming "Von Ryan's Ex-press" with Frank Sinatra andTrevor Howard, Jar Leytonrecorded the old Temptations'number, "I Want A Love I CanSee". The disc will be releasedon HMV on September 18.

With Lulu, Millie & ApplejacksTHE

HONEYCOMBS have been added to the bill of the Applejacks -Millie -Lulu -Bern Elliotone-nighter tour of Britain this autumn. Their chart -smashing disc, "Have I The

Right" has been released in America. The group are set to appear in pantomime thisChristmas. On Monday this week, they completed their first LP. And tomorrow (Friday)drummer Honey Lantree celebrates her 21st birthday.

The one-nighter tour, the group's first, starts at Finsbury Park Astoria on October 17,and works its way right around the country to finish up at Walthamstow Granada onNovember 22.

Soon afterwards, they will go into rehearsals for "Cinderella" at the Globe theatre inStockton. In the panto, the group is expected to be given individual acting roles.

Bachelors & U.S. banTHE Bachelors' manager, Dorothy Solomon, is seeking to get the ban

on pop concerts at New York's Carnegie Hall lifted in time forthe trio's visit to the States this autumn.

The ban was imposed by the hall management after a riotous concertthere by the Rolling Stones this year. Now Dorothy, who recently re-turned from USA on a negotiation trip, wants to explain to the NewYork authorities that the Bachelors are a- different kind of act to theStones, and far less likely to cause irresponsible conduct by Americanteenagers.

The Irish trio's first trip to the States is planned to start on November1, with TV shows and a nation-wide string of concerts. Already fixedare The Ed Sullivan Show and the Danny Kaye Show. The Bachelorswill be away for six weeks, returning mid -December in time to beginrehearsals for their pantomime at Birmingham Alexandra theatre.

Big new releasesNEW RECORD RELEASES by Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Trini Lopez,

Brook Benton, Lesley Gore, Bob Luman and Sue Thompson, Mickyand Griff, and The Undertakers, now called just, The Takers.

This is the line-up on the September 4 release lists, which also featurenew discs by Matt Monro, Ray Charles, The Chiffons, Bobby Vinton,and Mike Same, as reported in RM last week. The new Orbison discis one that he helped to write, "Oh Pretty Woman." backed with "YoTe Amo Maria." It's on the London label.

On Coral, the Buddy Holly "newie" is "Love's Made A Fool Of You"coupled with "You're The One." Trini Lopez, on Reprise, sings /QuandoCalienta El Sol" and "Angelita." And Brook Benton's latest is theBacharach-David number that's on the flip of Dionne Warwick's currentrelease. Title is "A House Is Not A Home," backed with "Come OnBack."

On the Mercury label, Lesley Gore sings "Maybe I Kt ow," and the"B" side is "Wonder Boy." Bob Luman joins Sue Thompson to duet "ILike Your Kind Of Love" on Hickory. Flip is "Too Hot To Dance." Mickyand Griff's Pye release is "Automation," coupled with "Oh So ManyYears."

Perhaps trying to change their record luck with a change of name,The Takers bow in with "If You Don't Come Back" and "Think." Thefollowing week, September 11, there are new discs for Adam Faithwith the Roulettes ("Only One Such As You" and "I Just Don't Know")on Parlophone; The Animals ("I'm Cryin' " and "Take It Easy") onColumbia; Frank 'field ("Summer Is Over" and "True Love Ways") nnColumbia; Peter and Gordon ("I Don't Want To See You Again" and"I Would Buy") on Columbia; Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers("One Way Love" and "Slow Down") on' Parlophone; Johnny Tillotson("Worry" and "Suffering From A Heartache") on MGM; Johnny Rivers("Maybellene" and "Walk Myself Home") on Liberty; The Marvellettes("You're My Remedy" and "A Little Bit Of Sympathy") on Stateside;and Rolf Harris ("Ringo For President" and "Head Hunter") onColumbia.

Both sides of the Animals' disc were penned by Price and Burden(Alan and Eric) and the flip of Frank 'field's new disc is the old BuddyHolly favourite. The "A" side of the Peter and Gordon newie is againa Lennon -McCartney composition, although the flip is a P. & G. original.

A new Bluebeat disc, recorded by Prince Buster (of "Madness" fame)in Kingston, Jamaica, will be issued by EMI early next month. Titles,are "Thirty Pieces Of Silver" and "Everybody Ska."

A new Dusty Springfield EP featuring three previously unheard tracksand her current American chart -rider, "Wishin' and Bonin' " is to beissued by Philips next month.

The new titles are "I Wish I'd Never Loved You," "Can I Get AWitness" and "All Cried Out." Release date is set for September 4.

By the time the tour is under way,their LP titled "The Honeycombswill be in the shops, featuring 14

vocal tracks -half of which havebeen written by their managers, KenHoward and Alan Blakely.

Whilst completing the LP, thegroup have also recorded threenumbers to choose from when thetime comes for a follow-up to"Have I The Right."

Independent disc producer JoeMeek told RM: "We will probablytry to keep the tempo up on thenext single and then issue a slowerone after that."

NO HOLDS BARREDWealthy Wiltshire building con-

tractor and variety agent H. S.Stevenson is putting an all outeffort behind the chart bid for fameof Johnny Carr and the Cadillacswho have been described as"Britain's Fastest Growing Group."

Their first recording "Rememberthat Night" enjoyed modest suc-

cess and a second "Every BreathI Take" is due for release in thenear future. Johnny Carr and theCadillacs who are based in theWest Country are probably thatregion's top group, they are cur-rently touring Scotland and can beseen on BBC TV's "Points West"this week.

BEATLEMANIA has thrown American teenagers into wild scenes of hysteria for thesecond time.

Everywhere The Beatles have played on their current tour of the United States, therehave been displays of idolatory and supreme worship. Even though the Liverpool stringquartet have been playing at venues that were not packed to the last seat, the same frighten.ing, often violent scenes, have barraged the group.

The latest incredible riot was atVancouver, British Columbia, Canadaon Sunday, when the Beatles' con-cert at the Empire Stadium almostturned to tragedy.

Thousands of teenagers rushedfrom their seats onto the playingHeld towards the group, crushinghundreds of young girls against arestraining fence in front of thestage.

Police handed dozens of girlssuffering from broken ribs over theheads of others, to first -aid men,while hundreds of others milledaround the first aid station "appar-ently lost, hysterical, and emotion-ally over -wrought."

In the vicinity of the HollywoodBowl where The Beatles playedafter the Vancouver concert, resi-dents were issued with passes toget to their homes. Police and fire-men set up road blocks.

At Seattle, Washington, the carthat was to have taken The Beatlesfrom the Coliseum was damagedso badly by fans that it could notbe used. After playing to an audi-ence of 14,000, they left byambulance.

When The Beatles opened theirtour at San Francisco's Cow Palacelast Thursday, fifty were hurt, twoarrested, and fifty others forcibleprevented from climbing onto thestage.. At the end of their 30 -minuteconcert, after being hit by jellybeans and stuffed animals, TheBeatles dropped their instruments,left the stage, and ran straight intoa car, to be whisked away fromthe Cow Palace before the fans hadhardly realised that the show wasover.

At their San Francisco hotel, girlsdressed as maids tried to bluff theirway past detectives and guards andthirty-five girls were rounded up onthe 15th floor -assigned solely forThe Beatles.

At the gambling centre of LasVegas, gaming by The Beatles hasbeen limited to playing two slotmachines carried to their rooms.During the group's concert before7.000 at the Convention Centre, someyoungster's tossed peanut shells ontothe stage to be ground up by thestamping Beatles, and collected inpieces as souvenirs. At one stageduring the concert, the group couldonly be "heard" by people whocould lip-read.

Today (Thursday) The Beatleswill be protected by five policemenstanding by their side on stage atthe Cincinnati Arena with morethan a hundred others nearby. Atpress -time, RM was told that TheBeatles will break their journey fromDallas. Texas, to New York onSeptember 20 to play a single per-formance at Kansas City, Missouri,for a fee of 150,000 dollars (£53,600).

The deal was arranged after theowner of the baseball park at KansasCity had travelled to California toPersonally plead with the group toapnear at the park.

According to The American show-biz paper. "Variety," The Beatlesmight make as much as a milliondollars (£357,000) on their currenttour of U.S.A. and Canada "A HardDay's Night" in America has grossedmore than a million and a halfdollars (2571,000).

Beach Boystour details

When The Beach Boys, makers ofthe West Coast "I Get Around" disc.come to Britain in October, theywill want to play at an auditoriumseating between fifteen and twentythousand people, their father, andformer manager, Murray Wilson, toldRM hours after he flew into Londonlast Thursday.

Bringing Beach Boys' albums pre-viously unheard here as gifts "toall the people who have done somuch for my boys," Murray said:"The Beach Boys will sing theirhearts out for English audiences.They're so thrilled that their recordhas caught on here and they hopeto make more records which willappeal to t he English teeners."The Reach Boys will be here forjust four or five days, doing mainlyTV and radio shows "and perhapstwo giant concerts." Then they wiltmake a whirlwind tour of the restof Europe, as an introduction to a

giant tour they plan to make nextspring.

Although Murray, father of Brian,Dennis, and Carl Wilson managedthe Beach Boys for two and a halfyears and produced all their records,"I resigned a little while ago be-cause I couldn't keep up with thepace they set. Now they've gotseveral people doing the job I didand two managers."

Follow-up to "I Get Around" inAmerica is "When I Grow Up (ToBe A Man)." Last week. their secondLP to be released in Britain "ShutDown Part Two" was issued.

Former bandleader and agent forDusty Springfield and TheSearchers. Tito Burns said: "NoComment. I'm in consultation withmy lawyers" after a report in anational newspaper last Friday thathe had sold his organisation toBrian Epstein's NEMS Enterprisesfor £100,000.

fi CHART HITS FOR GIP

6 RECORD MIRROR, Week ending August 29, 1964

THE FOUR SEASONS-America's top selling group could be in the charts heresoon with their "Rag Doll."

That strange sound

strikes once moreIS this the disc which will

bring the Four Seasonsstorming back into ourcharts? That is the big ques-tion now that the hit team'slatest U.S. chart - topper,"Rag Doll" (issued here lastweek - almost 3 monthsafter its Stateside releasedate) has finally reached ourshops.

Certainly it is the Seasons'most commercial British re-lease for many months, andthis is far from being theonly reason why it has sucha great chance. In fact, aclose look at the pros andcons suggests that only theworst possible kind of luckcan keep them out of ourcharts this time.

The Four Seasons are, ofcourse, no strangers to ourcharts and could easily re-gain their popularity overhere. Their line-up readsFrank Valli, first tenor;Tommy De Vito, baritone;Nick Massi, bass; and BobGaudio who sings tenor andhas written or co -writtenmost of the group's hits.Their average age is twenty-five.

SUCCESSThe story of their

phenomenal success beganlate in 1962 when, after onlyone flop, they came up withthe immortal "Sherry". It wasthe disc which introducedthe stratospheric falsettosound into pop music. TheAmericans surrendered un-conditionally and it hit theircharts like an avalanche inreverse; but over here it be-came known as the "love -

byALAN

STINTON

hate" sound and so split thedisc -buyers that it could getno further than numbereight.

HITSTwo more colossal hits fol-

lowed ("Big Girls Don't Cry"and "Walk Like A Man")both of which topped theStateside lists and made theTwenty here. It began to lookas though they could do nowrong - until "Ain't ThatA Shame" came along. Ex-actly why this re -hash of theold rock standard floppedover here remains a mystery.

In the States a very strongflip took away valuable salesand prevented "Shame" fromgetting very far, but overhere there was never anyquestion of which was the`A' side. True, it was notwritten by Bob Gaudio or theSeasons' disc producer BobCrewe as their three big hitshad been, but it was still ahighly imaginitive effort andthey put it over beautifully.It even had the benefit ofthe group's two-week Britishtour of May last year, but itonly slightly delayed theircomplete disappearance fromour charts.

In the States, however, theyremained pretty consistent.Their "Shame" follow-up,

"Candy Girl," put them backinto the Top Three, but theirnext missed. By the end of1963, though, they had man-aged to establish themselvesas America's best-sellingartistes.

Early this year after athree month silence, the FourSeasons turned up on U.S.Columbia having left theirold label, Vee Jay. It seemsto have been a good movebecause their first Columbiasingle, "Dawn," was a classicand only the Beatle. Blitz keptit from reaching number onein the States. They are sopopular at the moment thateven the old Vee Jay tracksissued to cash in on their'new-found popularity aremaking the Top Twenty.

HARMONIESAnd now we have the

climax to this new success-"Rag Doll," their f our thAmerican number one. Re-membering how the otherthree all crashed our charts,how can it fail to do thesame?

Just one last point infavour is the current chartsuccess of the Beach Boysover here. Although the FourSeasons have never been as-sociated with the surf anddrag crazes, the harmonieson "I Get Around" are al-most identical to those whichthe Seasons feature. Thissound, which has notched upalmost as many chart -toppersthis year as the Beatles have,may well be on its way INhere. It all depends uponhow well "Rag Doll," one ofthe very best examples, fares.Trend -spotters please note.

NOMENA IN

THE CHARTSGnus,

girls, girls . . . they're really having a ball In the charts. New girls, too-first-timers on the scene like Marianne Faithfull and second-time-outers like Julie Rogers.

It's by way of creating a minor revolution in the business.Take last- week's Top Fifty. IN: Dusty Springfield, Cilia Black, Marianne, Dionne

Warwick, Julie, Cilia again, Mary Wells, Millie, plus the Gilberto lady on "Girl FromIpanema" . . . and Honey of the Honeycombs and Megan of the Applejacks.

How come this sudden interest?As Larry Parnes, successful prophetof pop, has said: "When groupstend to fade, and solo stars come in,the girls have it over most of theboys in terms of charm on record."

Is that right? Certainly I know atleast three top agents who are hunt-ing round for new girls of outstand-ing good looks and chart -worthytalent, musically.

SLIM GALI checked round three of the girls

who are currently resident in thecharts. Two English, one American.And found some interesting theoriesabout why the scene looks so goodfor the thrushes right now.

Let's start with Julie Rogers. Agood start. Brunette, slim, Just5ft. 7in. tall. A gal who digs theElla, Shirley Bassey, Peggy Leeschool of singing. Owner of ethree-octave voice and a disc debut -makeron "It's Magic" not so long ago,Now her hit is "The Wedding".. .

her label Mercury.Said Julie: "Why girls, suddenly?

Because the fans want somethingnew to buy. But it's still not anautomatic choice for girls to makethe charts. When I heard my discwas IN, I rushed round pinchingmyself all day. , couldn't believeit. Now my big problem is this:most of the hit discs are bought bygirls, so it's extra important theyshould like me, not regard me asa sort of opponent.

"That song 'The Wedding' im-pressed me a lot some years agowhen it didn't do well in Britain.Of course I never thought I'd oneday be making discs myself andhave the chance of recording it.Recording manager Johnny Franzactually picked it for me. My onlyregret was the use of the words'Ave Maria' . . thought it mightbe too sickly -religious for the fans.

"No, I don't think the malesoloist will necessarily have it sogood immediately. You see, theyoften double -track, triple -track andso on. . and they sound just likethe four -man or five - man groups.It's O.K. on stage when the soloimage is pushed across. But thedisc sound is exactly the same asthe groups."

HUSKYJulie's own favourite: Dusty

Springfield. "Great singer, greatsongs. Great 'feel' ".

In comes Dionne Warwick, husky -voiced across the Atlantic by phone."Boy, I haven't got over my owntrip to Britain a few months ago.So it's really going well for thegirls, huh? That's fine. It's nice toknow your own new girls are doingwell. And for me to be in the chartsis just a knock -out, You may re-member I had a little difficultyestablishing myself in the early daysof your wonderful Cilia Black.

"But it's a funny business right

by PETER JONES

DIONNE WARWICK

now. Your records seem to makethe charts here. . and that's fine.There are a lot of American girls,though, who get the big hits righthere - but nothing very special inBritain. You want some for -in-stances? Well, there's Nancy Wilsonfor one. Maybe Lesley Gore, too,nowadays.

"For sure the business is gettingmuch more open, though, and I'msure all we girls welcome that, Iguess the reason is that you canonly say so much in a song for aboy. Girls, the fans, DO like to hearabout romance from their own pointof view just for once in a while.

"And I'm predicting more andmore gals'll make it real soon. . ."

Now over to Marianne Faithfull,Palely blonde-with a hair stylethat Lionel Bart predicted wouldmake her a national figure in no

time at all. Incidentally, the figureis great, too!

Said Marianne: "I'm so new tothe pop scene, I honestly don'tknow much about trends andstyles. But my own record: Well,I don't honestly like it all thatmuch. Some critics have said it'sfolksey. Well, I'm a folk fanatic.People like Joan Baez impress me-and I know I could never singin the same class as her. So forme there's something phoney aboutmy disc . . .

"Other girls? I think both Dustyand Cilia are great-magnificent.But for me getting in the chartsis important on several levels. Yousee, we're a pretty poor family-never had much money. Now I canactually go out and buy clothesspecially designed for me by

Caroline Charles. And also I thinkthis record will help me in myambition to become an actress.

"Soon I go out on tour withFreddie and the Dreamers-that'llbe great. You see, I've always ledrather a sheltered life, what withthe convent schooling and so on.Now I'm really getting a chanceto meet 'real' people outside, ifyou see what I mean. I've beentaking mock 'A' level tests recently,by the way. If I get good marks,I'll stay on at school. If not, I'llgo full-time into show businesg!

With Clem at BlackpoolHELLO, again! Many thanks to

all of you who sent in entriesfor our "Reversed Names"

competition-we're sorting throughthem and will announce the winnernext week.

Down to Business: Gerry and thePacemakers were here at the week-end, their movie "Ferry 'Cross TheMersey" all ready for the cinemas.Gerry's very hopeful about hisnew single "It's Gonna Be AilRight" - and I agree with himbecause I think it's just great.

Incidentally, Gerry's doing abroadcast Thursday this weekwhere ail the boys change roles.treadle takes lead vocal, Gerryplays piano, Les Maguir goes ondrums, with "Chad" on bass."Just a gigg,e - and a change''reported Gerry.

Also met Big Dee Irwin. who hasjust completed a month's seasonwith tile I -lollies at Weymouth. Oneof his songs has been recordedoy Alan David-"I Want So MucnTo Know You" (voted a hit on"JBJ' )-and he has written twomore, one called "Magic Ring,for the Hollies' upcoming L.P.

Mark Wynter has continueddepping for laryngitis -strickenFrank 'field at the ABC Theatrehere . . . and Frank has beenchosen to headline the first of thenew "Sunday Night At The LondonPalladium" series in mid -Septem-ber.

Shirley Bassey here on Sundayto her usual two packed houses-and we've got Freddie and theDreamers here for a week'svariety. The stars can't keep awayfrom Blackpool.

incidentally everybody sews tobe buying new cars. Tornados'bassist Ray is in the throes ofgetting a Sunbeam Rapier, Les

Chadwick of the Pacemakers. hasgot a very smooth Alfa -Romeo2600 and Joe Brown sports amarvellous E-tyPe Jag.

Can I put in another spot ofpersonal thanking? Ta's go to allthe fans and mates who sent mebirthday cards and presents onmy one -year -older anniversary lastweek. We had a bit of a partyat the theatre after the last showand things really swung.

The boys played a gag on me.incidentally. Gave me a presentwhich looked, from the labels, likebeing a coffee percolator. Openedit up: and inside was one ofthose seaside hats, marked: "ILove The Rolling Stones." Butlater they gave me a marvelloussilver tea trolley. Just great forthe new Cattini abode in NorthLondon.

Business continues to thrive inBlackpool. Specially for the ghost -hunting Bachelors-there's a queuewaiting for tickets every time Igo past their theatre.

Incidentally, we're working onan idea to get up a Record Mirrorsoccer team to challenge one ofthe Show -Biz teams . . the RMwill be strengthened by some pop"names." Johnny Kidd, whofinishes his season here on Satur-day, is keen to play and so isMike Preston. I hope to presenta barn -door defence from the left -back position!

Just two comments on the discscene. I think Dave Berry's newone is fantastic-and I'm knockedout to see it in the charts. AndI'm sure the Beatles should havetaken "Tell Me Why" from their"Hard Day's Night" album andpushed it out as a quick single.

Join me next week, won't you?Cheers.

THE SOUND OFTHINGS TO COME

111-

A FAIR which will determine the "new sounds" of the groups, provide the "session man"with clearer and better tones, give a wider rang of instruments for the folk guitarist,

and show the ultimate in amplification equipment opened in London on Monday.It is the Assocation of Musical Instrument Industries trade fair-where every new line,

every development from a new string to a completely new instrument will be shown for thefirst time to music dealers. It is not open to the public-so RM is presenting its ownreport of the fair.

Probably the most popular instruments at the fair will be the guitars-ranging from a£5 children's toy to the £500 Gretsch "White Falcon".

The "White Falcon" is distributed in this country by J and I Arbiter, who will also beshowing Maton guitars from Australia, selling at from £130 to £150. Soon to be seen in theshops from Arbiter will be 12 new guitars from Japan-all excellent value for theirprice. They range from £5 to £50, from a round hole acoustic to the latest electronic model.

The new guitars and drum outfits-also from Japan and retailing at between £50 and £60-"represent a break -through on price which will enable many more people to take themup" says Ivor Arbiter, young go-ahead Managing Director of the company.

A new rangeof finger classic guitars will alsobe introduced for the first time,and there will also be an electricHawaiian guitar set on its ownstand.

Barnes and Mullins have had asuccessful season with guitar straps,so there will be new additions tothe range during and after the fair.

More guitar accessories will bein the shops after the fair-includ-ing a guitar stand and paddedguitar covers.

If you're after guitars in themedium or low price bracket,there's sure to be one from Beareand Son to suit your taste. Theirnew range of instruments cost from11 to 45 pounds and includesSpanish guitars, C and W and thinline acoustic models. With theadvent of R and B harmonicas havebecome more popular-Beare dis-tribute the "Bandmaster" range,and there will be new additions tothis too.

NEW TRUMPETFor the session man, Besson have

brought out a new trumpet calledthe "International". This newmodel is the result of many monthsof research by factory techniciansin co-operation with Kenny Baker.Its basic features include the factthat it is virtually intonation per-fect, and therefore no adjustable3rd valve slide becomes necessary.Any slight adjustments to the tuningon the difficult lower notes-e.g.lower C and 13 can be made byuse of an "easy action" 1st valveslide trigger.

Built with a large bore, thetrumpet has a specially taperedmouthpipe and wide flared bell.Other features include an improvedpositive and silky valve action,gleaming lacquer finish with a newtype trim to valve slide bows, andlong type waterkeYs.

Boosey and Hawkes will launch-for the first time at the fair-thecompletely re -designed "Ajax Nu -

Sound" drum line. There are fourbasic kits under that banner, andbasic features include -a new method to give straight -grained shells, all plastic heads, acomplete range of tom-toms includ-ing a 14 in. by 14 in, model, choiceof wood or metal shell snare drums,new type holders, special chromefinish on all metal parts and fittedanchors on all kit bass drums.

A complete range of finishes willsoon be available, but first deliver-ies will be in a new "BurgundyRipple."

Also from Boosey and Hawkesand Besson will be additions to the"Hawk" range of guitars from Band H, including a new version ofthe "Jumbo", a new bass guitarand a new range of 12 string modelsincluding an electric guitar and aguitar -banjo.

A re -designed range of guitaramplification under the Scalierlabel is also from B and H, witha range of attractive speakers withmatching amplifiers.

Besson say a general "tidy up"has taken place in all the brass

range and the trumpet models nowstart from the improved model 35,the 35 Super, followed by the"Stratford", a new "Academy" andthe "International".

Besson handle the Rogers drumline, and the "Dyna-Sonic" snaredrum takes us into 1965 in design.This will be amongst the new lines.

many of them are re-recorded.Bright and lively with a sax -leadcombo mostly supplying the back-ings.

FROM the trad king, comefifteen excellent sides, bothvocal and instrumental with

many of Kenny's big hits included.All of the number are in the usualtrad vein, with plenty of verve,vitality and good performances allround. Should be a good seller.

ANDY W. is so good it's some-times exasperating. Nary anote, a phrase, out of place.

This collection of award -winningMovie themes is not exactly a newidea but Andy's warmly intimatevoice adds something new to mostof them. For sure he has a greatunderstanding with M. D. RobertMersey. "Never Stop Loving . .

is a great track -and even "MonaLisa" takes on impeccable newness.-P.J.

IF this is volume two, whateverhappened to volume one? Thisis the Hot Rod Beach Boys of

"I Get Around" fame -and thereare no Surfin sounds on this one.Nevertheless there are the smoothvocal and instrumental sounds withthe touches of falsetto on thestraight vocals. A good song variety-comedy like "Cassius" and balladslike "Why Do Fools Fall In Love."This group, America's only realchallenge to the British invasionshow themselves off to be a corn-petant and compelling group withthis, their debut album here. Thelist of tracks are printed twice onthe sleeve -once on the front andonce on the back, but to get thecorrect playing order you have tolook on the label! That's the onlyfault . . . N.J.

SINGLES

IN BRIEFMAX BYGRAVES: Farewell ToThe Dame; You Can't Stop MeFrom Dreaming (Philips BF 1357).A sort of communal "Hello Dolly"in reverse -loads of corn andpenned by Max himself.THE WACKERS: Love Or Money;Hooka Tooka (Piccadilly 7N 35195).The old Blackwells number -it's agood song with a powerful vocaltreatment. Unusual lyric and wellperformed.THE VENTURES: Walk -Don't Run'64; The Cruel Sea (Liberty LIB96). More than a suggestion oftheir 1960 hit here -exactly thesame tune, but slightly differentbacking.TAMMY ST. JOHN: Hey, Hey,Hey, Hey; Boys (Pye 7N 15682).The old Little Richard number isgiven a Lulu type treatment fromthe lass. It's danceable and effec-tive with plenty of verve.BIG DEE IRWIN Personality; It'sOnly A Paper Moon (Colpix PX11050). A strong version of the oldPrice/Newley hit. Plenty of noise,but rather dated.MARK WYNTER Love Hurts; Can'tHelp Forgiving You (Pye 7N 15686).Strong ballad with some gentlevocalising from Mark. Perhaps alittle corny but very tuneful andpleasant nevertheless.THE KINGSMEN Little Latin LupeLu; David's Mood (Pye Int. 7N25262). A "Louie Louie" flavouredversion of the old RighteousBrothers hit - lovely strong beat,throbbing guitar and beautifully in-distinct vocal. Could do well. Weliked it,

THE MIGHTY AVENGERS SoMuch In Love; Sometime They Say(Decca F 11962). A Jagger -Richardscomposition - didn't they everhear of the Tymes hit of the samename? It's a good plaintive balladwith a repetitive backing and onelead singer. Could do well.THE FIVE NITE'S With A LovingKiss; Let's Try Again (Decca F11963). Gentle guitar work opensthis pretty ballad with a good tuneand plenty of chart chance.

THE SUPREMESWhere Did Our Love Go; He

Means The World To Me (StatesideSS 327).

FROM the top of the U.S. chartswhere it has been holding offthe Animals comes this Tamla-

Motown item. It features a thump-ing bluesy beat, a la MarvinGaye or Dave Clark but beneaththe beat there's a great tune,bluesey and plaintive with ex-quisite vocalising from the 'girls.One lead voice, and the othershacking in an imaginative way.Maybe a little too far-out for bigchart success, especially conSlder-ing the Peter Jay cover versionwhich is more commercial, butcertainly a classic bluesy disc.Flip is a strong bluesy beat ballad.

TOP FIFTY TIP

P. J. PROBYTogether; Sweet and Tender

Romance (Decca F 11967).

p. J. ROARS in in typical"Hold Me" style on thisraving version of the oldie,

which last made the charts forMiss Connie Francis. Mr. Proby'sshrill vocal work almost lifts thesong from the grooves. Must be abig hit, though perhaps not quiteas big as his last. Flip is theCarter Lewis song with P.J. sound-ing very much like Elvis Presleyhimself. Good ballad.

TOP FIFTY TIP

BRENDA LEEIs It True; What'd I Say (Bruns-

wick 05915).

A N up -beat jerky affair fromA Brenda penned by the Carter -Lewis team, with plenty of

loud guitar sounds and excellentvocal work from the lass. Her lastdisc flopped here, but this British -produced disc should be a big hit -especially with her tour comingup. Flip is of course the RayCharles' number with a hoarsevocal from Brenda and loads ofheavy rock backing work. A bitplayed out, but effective comingfrom Brenda nevertheless.

TOP FIFTY TIP

THE NEWBEATSBread & Butter; Tough Little

Buggy (Hickory 1269).THERE'S a Marvin Gaye beat

on this big U.S. hit. A malechorus shouts out the lyrics,

full of bread, butter, toast andjam. Then a shrill bluesy girlanswers while beat continues.Immensely repetitive and im-.nensely compulsive and great fordancing of course. Flip is a HotRod item of course with high-pitched vocal and the jog -alongbeat that is getting so familiar.

TOP FIFTY TIP

GERRY AND THE PACEMAKERSIt's Gonna Be All right; It's Just

Because (Columbia DB 7353).FROM the film "Ferry 'Cross

The Mersey" comes thistypical mersey-sounding num-

ber. Catchy tune, plenty of beat,and somewhat Beatle-inspired.Repetitive but with nothing newto offer. Flip is a typical Gerrystyle ballad with much more origin-ality than the top side.

TOP FIFTY TIP

JULIE GRANTCome To Me; Can't Get You Out

Of My Mind (Pye 7N15684).JULIE has cut a string of good

discs, but this one is too goodto miss the charts. It's a

slow haunting ballad, great forlate -night listening with a plaintivelyric and superb vocal work fromJulie. Sympathetic backing on thisone, which could be her biggestyet with plenty of plugs. Flip ismore up -beat and is an efficientthough not particularly inspiringbeat ballad.

TOP FIFTY TIP

JIMMY REEDShame, Shame, Shame; Let's

Get Together (Stateside SS 330).ARE -ISSUE of Jimmy's U.S.hit of last year which failed

to make the British grade firsttime around. However it's morelikely to make it now, as it willtie up with Jimmy's visit here -also tastes have changed moretowards this sort of music. It'sa crashing throbbing beaty numberwith danceable qualities galore.Flip is a slightly more subduedbut equally effective song.

TOP FIFTY TIPTHE SHADOWS

Rhythm & Greens; The Miracle(Columbia DB 7342).

APOWERFUL shot of guitar onthis one, from the film of thesame name. There's a load of

screaming and shouting on thisup -beat almost tuneless item whichfeatures a frantic dance beat.Sounds a bit like a Mersey groupgone wrong, and certainly not likethe Shadows. But it's efficient andcommercial -anti it's the Shads.Flip is more typical of the boyswith that prominant drumwork,and a pleasant tune. Bettermusically but not as striking asthe top side.

TOP FIFTY TIP

PETER JAY & THE JAYWALKERSWhere Did Our Love Go; Carol-

ine (Piccadilly 7N 35199).THERE'S a strong beat on

this one, which features agravelly voiced Peter Jay on

the big U.S. hit. Should do wellhere considering the plugging it'sbound to get. But to our ears itjust doesn't come anywhere nearthe Supremes' version in terms ofperformance or sound, althoughdoubtless British dee-jays will playit constantly, ignoring theSupremes' disc. Flip features somegood sax sounds and shows farmore originality than side one.Danceable and lively.

TOP FIFTY TIP

LULUCan't Hear You No More; I Am

In Love (Decca F 11965).LATEST from Lulu is a Goffin-

xing composition that wasrecently issued by Betty

Everett. it s a repetitive grow -on -you bluesy beat ballad with plentyof potential but definately not asgood as her "Shout." Tends toget a bit monotonous, and we feelshe could have picked a bettersong than this. Flip is a typicalballad without much to recommendit except Lulu.

HERMHERMAN'S HERMITS

ANIA HITS

THE TOP FIFTYJUST three months together - and Herman's Hermits fair crash into the spotlight of the charts. A first-time

hit for them . . . and the third leg of a hat -trick for disc producer Mickie Most, who started his chart -happy ways with the Animals, then the Nashville Teens.

Mickie, formerly one of the MostBrothers in Britain's early beat eraand then a solo hit -maker in SouthAfrica, met Herman's Hermits inManchester. He said: "I liked themfrom the start . . they lookedgood and sounded good. And it wasobvious that they had a huge follow-ing through Lancashire - hundredsof fans wearing T-shirts with 'Her -mania' blazoned across them."

Herman himself is only 16, Says:"Manchester is my home town andnot so long ago I used to go toclassical singing lessons at Man-chester School of Music. I likesinging but for a while I was moreenthusiastic about acting. So I tookdrama lessons and got myself partsin television shows like 'Corona-tion Street' and 'Knight Errant'."

Why Herman for a name? Well,the boys liked a TV cartoon showcalled "The Bull Winkle Show"and there was a character in itnamed Sherman. They thought their"leader" looked like this pen -and -ink hero . . so Herman hebecame.

The "Hermit" bit followed onautomatically.

Naturally knocked out at the suc-cess of "I'm Into Something Good,"a Goffin-King composition, the boysare now in the throes of a seriesof boosting TV and radio appear-ances. They've got a big fan -clubalready organised in the Manchesterarea and find they're getting great

.receptions now they're travellingfurther afield.

The group? Certainly one of theyoungest on the crowded scene.Bassist is 17 -year -old Karl Green,then comes drummer Barry Whit-wam (18), Keith Hopwood (17) onlead and rhythm guitars, and Derek"Lek" Leckenby (21), who alsoalternates lead and rhythm.

Used to be called the Heartbeats-that was before Peter "Herman"Noone first got up to sing withthem at a youth club. Said Her-man: "What's shaken us is thespeed at which things are happen-ing. Mickie Most pointed out a lotof faults to us, but signed us, re-corded us - and had the discreleased - in just three weeks.Then there it is in the charts awee while after that. Fantastic!"

THE DALY'S

They've had

good FortuneOF all the names picked for

groups, perhaps the most fate -tempting is The Fortunes. But it

would be a rash astrologer who'drisk a prediction any more concretethan that September 18 is an im-portant date in their lives, For thatis when their next record is due outfrom Decca.

Judging by past form, the discstands a fair chance of making amodest fortune for The Fortunes.In the year they've been togetherthey've done quite well with "Sum-mertime, Summertime", "Caroline"(which became the signature tuneof Radio Caroline) and "I Like TheLook oi_Yeu"

In their musical taste, The For-tunes are united. They employ athree-man rhythm section and thesextet specialises in providing some-thing of a contrast to the currentcraze for beat music.

Glen explained: "We've got noth-ing against beat music. We playbeat numbers and when we do welet them roar."

Rod: "Yes, but we prefer balladsand the slower, more tuneful songs.,This way, we come as a bit of a

THE FORTUNESrelief, we hope, to other groups that

'tend to be louder than us.""If we did nothing but beat num-bers I reckon we'd soon get cheesedoff," said Rod. "Half the R and Itgroups don't look as though they'reenjoying themselves and audiencescan always sense the mood of agroup."

rilWO Oirish boys, with a song -1 selling style that in some

miraculous way has managed to be"different". John Daly (21) andPatrick Carroll (23), both fromCork, who debut on Decca with"Without You", a song written for

I

them by Kenny Lynch and CliveWestlake.

Two Oirish boys with a problem.Said John: "We found that when-ever we tried to sing numberswhich originally were recorded byanother duo, say the Everlys, wetended to sound uncomfortably likethe original artistes. The only wayround it was to suit ourselves."

FOLK -TINGEDOne of those numbers is the flip

of the disc - "Winter Rushes On",a decidedly folk -tinged number.

Said Pat: "We haven't had whatyou'd call an overnight success in

lour efforts to get on records. Infact, back home in Ireland wecouldn't get any bookings for a long,Long time. The only way we couldreach the public was by hiring ourown hall for about 50 shillings, put-ting in a microphone and otherequipment for about thirty bob -and then put on our own show,. backing our voices on guitars.

"Most times we'd just take afiver at the door - hardly enoughto cover our costs. But it was goodfun, all the same."

The two boys are currently work-ing in a wholesale goods ivarehousein London and they'll carry onworking until their singing careerdevelops fully.

ONE GUITAROn stage, John sings lead, with

Pat providing the harmonic interest.Normally now they use just oneguitar . . John again. And theyknow that the Decca authoritieshave high hopes of the disc. . . andalso the boys have plenty of tele-vision and radio appearances toboost the record,

P.S. - the boys DON'T soundanything like those countrymen oftheirs, the Bachelors.

CHUCK BERRY'S

EVERYDAY MUSICCHUCK BERRY'S vital follow-up to "No Particular Place To Go" or "Schooldays Revisited"k -A has made the charts. Big surprise on the keenly -awaited sequel is not the hit side"You Never Can Tell" but the flip "Brenda Lee."

Many people expected it to be an instrumental dedicated to the singer. But "Brenda Lee"is a vocal and has nothing to do with Brenda Lee Shacklett, nee Brenda Lee Tarpey. Whythen did Mr. B call it "Brenda Lee"?The answer to that is Chuck

Berry. He's a different, deep -think-ing star. He's done time inside asmost people know, but don't liketo mention. This possibly made himmore moody, definitely made himmore contemplative.

When I met him, I felt as thoughI had bumped into Moses. Heseemed slightly sad, and talked ina strange stilted style-the by-pro-duct of the biblical upbringing somany American Negroes experience.

His description of how he cameto write "Memphis Tennessee"shows his strange manner in speech.He told reporters his inspirationwas a young girl, who seemed"out of it" at one of his per-formances, where everyone else washaving a rave. Chuck described thegirl as "melancholy among thejoyous multitude."

So different is Chuck's way ofthinking that he says it neveroccurred to him that people wouldlink the song "Brenda Lee" withthe singer. "I picked it becauseit's a rhythmic name," he said.

CHUCK BERRYTypical of his style, the song un-

folds the story of an imaginaryschoolgirl, who puts her work be-fore boys, but steals the show atthe end -of -term dance. His othersongs written round girls, "May-bellene," "Nadine" and "Carol"have all been winners. TommyRoe recently had a hit with "Carol"in America.

Chuck's music is full of every-day things - cars, school, clothes,make-up, radios, 'phone calls areall packed into his lyrics givingthem a racy up-to-date appeal, forwhich he has been dubbed "thepoet of the rock 'n' roll age."

Chuck pours his own experiencesinto his music. One of his pastimesis driving his Ford Thunderbird."I cruise along in my T -Birdthinking things out," he explains.The product of one of these cruiseswas the number "Jaguar And TheThunberbird."

VIVIDChuck's boyhood left a deep im-

print on his memory, which comesout in "Schoolday" and "AlmostGrown"-direct recollections of hisown learning days. "Johnny B.Goode" is a vivid flash -back tohis upbringing as a guitar -boy ina "cabin made of earth and wood."

His travels as a record star comeout in the place -packed "SweetLittle Sixteen," which he wrote be-tween one night stands and "Backin The USA," penned on the 'planehome from Australia.

As a boy Chuck loved countrymusic. "It has the truest bestlyrics or all," he says. "They gostraight to your feelings. Don and

by GRAEME ANDREWSPhil Everly's 'Bye Bye Love' is agreat example." He is sure countrymusic will spread this side of theAtlantic and has waxed "Fraulein,""Crazy Arms" and other titlesspecifically for Europe.

Depending on his mood he alsolikes Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong,Nat Cole, Big Joe Turner andLouis Jordan. "I may do some ofJordan's stuff on an album. Thingslike 'Ration Blues,' ReconversionBlues' and 'Blueberry Salad,' that'sreal blues," he says,

Many other stars like Chuck'smaterial. Johnny Rivers has justscored heavily with "Memphis" inAmerica. This old track gave Chuckhis come -back last year here andDave Berry had a small cover hit.In America last summer LonnieMack had an instrumental hit withit - an amazing four way suecessthat has made the song a rock"standard."

IMPORTThe Beatles' LP track "Roll Over

Beethoven" is another plum in theBerry pie. Put out on a single inCanada, Americans imported it overthe border in such huge quantitiesthat it made their charts. ThenCapitol clamped down on the im-ports - "a great pity," saysChuck.

He also wrote the Rolling Stones'"Come On" and "Little Queenie,"which Bobby Rydell and Jerry LeeLewis waxed on singles. BuddyHolly had his biggest hit in yearswith his "Brown Eyed HandsomeMan." The Beach Boys first foundfame with "Surfing USA," which-like "No Particular Place To Go"-was an old Berry tune ("SweetLittle Sixteen") with fresh lyrics.

Chuck has recently written "HeyGood Looking" for his Chess -mateIIo Diddley and is working onsongs for British groups aboutmods and rockers, scooters andother things he noticed here.

Chuck Berry as a singer, guitaristand composer shows limitless talent.But the most fascinating productof his enormous creative ability is

Berry Park, his country club inWentzville, Missouri.

Sited just outside Chuck's birth-place, St. Louis, the Park tookthree years to make. A vast corn-field on a slight slope used tobe where the Park is now. Hugeearth movers were brought in tolevel it out and landscape it, anartificial lake was scooped out withan island left in the middle. Thenthe lake was filled with fish.

A large swimpool was excavated,and chalet -style bathing cabins con-structed alongside. Centrepiece ofthe Park is the clubhouse, "It'sjust like a country lodge," saysChuck. On Saturdays there aredances there with a big band play-ing.

All sorts of pastimes are providedin the Park's spacious grounds.There's handball, croquet, tenniscourts, and even a three hole golfcourse. You can fish in the lakeor go boat -riding and indoors tabletennis is provided,

The completion of Berry Parksaw the fulfilment of a life longambition for Chuck: 'There was aplayground up the street from whereI lived as a child. I have alwayswanted to have my own amuse-ment place." No doubt one dayChuck will write a song inspiredby the Park.

EXTRA HOURSChuck spends nearly all his time

either at the Park, or in the Chessstudios in Chicago, where he hasbeen putting in extra hours tomake up for the years he hasbeen away from the record scene.

As if this wasn't enough work,Chuck is his own manager andproduces his own records. He has ahouse in Chicago, and when hedoes manage to fit in time athome, he gets down to his hobbies-gardening and photography. Henot only planned the garden, butspends a lot of his leisure timedigging and planting!

His creative traits show up inhis photography too. He loves con-triving special trick effects. Inaddition to all this he's collectingmaterial for a book!
