Les Reed speaks first: • "Star.ting Chapter One is a 'natural developm.ent for me .. The publishing companies have gone well and so has the \\>'essex Studios ... so I've now hit the ambition of creating a new record company. I've alway$ wanted to make a really big new company.

"We're released through the world by Decca, who have been very lucky to. me - 38 big-hits in the past few ye~n;. Our first single is · by the March Hare, who I found wo~kmg at QuagHno·s under the name. of the Undergrads. Lead sing~r Paul is a "ery good-looking boy, good on standards - the~· II come through as a mixture of standards and ro<:k. . .

"Next out wm be Jason Cord. who already has a ternf1c fo l1owing in Birmingham. Good stage act: and his group has been renamed the First Chapter. And there is Johnny Gun. who has a standard•ish sort" of voice. 1·m looking for And)· \Villiams-type material for him.

RECORD MIRROR, Wtek tndina June I. 1968

ILL ' ASS

I LONG camo Mary and 1hc Assocla­lion hand in hand And Mary wcnl and the Association stayed nnd more records uppearcd followed by goJd discs. And the AssociaUon stayed and lhclr reputation g rew and they

became an established group. In America. And the Association's records come across

thc:- Wide Atlantic and everybody said thc.i,•'re good, they're very good.

BUT. The Association have never, till now, had

a chart record in England. Which is a shame, a very shame.

The f{roup was over here recently for a i;hort while- they stopped off for one con­cert and tt televbion appcnrnncc on lhc woy biu: k from the Music Festival in Rome. and I conversed with Associa tion drummer, Ted Blucchcl Jr.

" W<''rc basically a 'live· group as opposrd to a recordln~ g roup," said Ted, ·'and I think wu sell our records on the strength or our stage a<'t. Which is probably why we ha\'en·t had :i hil in lhis country. w c•vc never don" a live tour he re. and so. aparl from the records. 110 one really knows us. We're just dol11K one concert over hero this tiine­more to see how we go down than anything else, I think we' ll definitely be doing a lour here. but it won't be this year-unless we can get over here towards winter or some­thing,

"Ifs a funny thing, but wc·vc got this reputation as a vo~:il group, whereas wo·re far more hung up on bcl:lg accepted as good musicians. Personally I think we·re far better Instrumentalists than we ure singers. anyway. We' re more inte rested in J>Utti ng on a good s tage show than spending nll our time in the studios mak bg records. We like to be uble to make the sumc sound on stage and on disc, and this is one or our' main selling points in the States."

The Association take their music seriously -which Is good because their music is cood. But they're very serious people any. way- talking to Ted nt the group·s rccep, tlon wns not. talking music or pop, il was talking philosophy and life In generul. According to Ted. the American way o( life lrns a lot to do with the American way or music.

"America now Is fast reaching I he end or its Ji(e. Millions or year'S ago, there was a place called Atlontls that reached a certain 1>-0int when civilisation could go no further -machinery had started to develop a t a much fas.tor rate thun llfu. And when It reached this stage, the whole of Atlantis destroyed itself, because cl\•llisallon could go no further. The continent sank under the sea. I believe that America Is In the same position now, and by the year 2000 it will destroy Itself as At1an1Ji did-perhaps not in the same way. It mny explode or something!

"I think lhat allhough most people In Amor ita don·t realise this sort of threaten. Ing dis.aster looming over them, it's created an atmosphere. The sort or otmo5phcrc lhat•s resulted in the hippy urt forms, and or course, the hlppy mo,•emcnt Itself. The underground is really only people trying to survive In a civlllsatlon that basically Is nothing to do with people. America is ,•ir­tuaHy a fully au1omatcd country where the human e lement Is ignored. and It's the hippies ~•ho, although I.hey probably don't know exactly why they're doing It, are trying lo keep the country uJlvc.

"l'm not a visionary or anything-I didn't see all lhls In a dream. Originally J read a.bout the theory, hut thinking it ovar it seems completely logical. And the perl'On who wrote that America would destroy ltselr by the year two4 thousand wa.s n very highly respected visionary-and most of his pre. dictions have In tact come true. So I don 't see why he should be wrong this time,

Grand Ole Opry -British style! ANY doubts as lo lhe

po p u I o r i t y or American Country Music in the Britbh

Isles were dispelled on Sun• day, May 19, when f'olk Voice held their third Festival of American Coun• try Music at Cecil Sharp House. Country music nets from the length and breadth or England be• selged the concert hall wllh • splendid variety of old and new sounds. 'l'he Festival was split into two parts - Modern Country during the afternoon and Bluegrass and Old Time from !'.i.30 unt.H tho Rnale .

Harmony Opening the Modern Sec•

lion were The Rhythm Ranchers who ran through a selection or popular tunes and displayed a good reeling ror country har• mony on the old Lefty Friz, tell hit, "The Long Block Veil". The Ranchers set n high standard with their Interpretations of standard country material and their abilHy to " tone down" lhe amplification. t\lany other modern outfits. whilst pre, sen1Jn,; 1>olished acts. were marred by over-t:nthuslastic s tct•l-.r;uitarists and crashing dru mmcrs - Jan and The Southerners suffered con­siderably from this major fault and, at Umes, Jan's

excellent voice was com­pletely inaudible.

Other electric oountry bands who earned a good response from the capacity audience were: Dave West and The Ramblers: BUly Harris (who deserves to be recorded): and Tho Night• life: and the undisputed star or the ft.rst half, Little Ginny, who brought the house down with her ver• sions of "Little High Horse" and "Out Behind The Barn" -Ginny stood knee-high to a grasshopper and toted a guitar twice her size.

One Hnal criticism or the arternoon·s proceedings was the rather poor com• perlng - all •ery fine when the show was running smoothly, but when per• formers arrived late there was Just an ominous silence. Why no jokes and professional patter, fellas?

Fan club's Poem Corner supplies odes to Lulu

1,ULU'S OFFICI AL f 'Ai'/ CLUII Address: 236 Long Ch1ulden, Remel

Hempstead, Rerts. Secretary: ~1rs, Ellubeth (Belly) BJ1cklt. Founded: Nol'ember 1'64. Current membership: 1,100. Sub,cript1on rates (per yca.r) ; U.K, 5s.

REr.lARKS: Formed some, • rour years ago at the tlme or "Shout", Lulu

and the Luvvcrs' Officia l Fan Club (as It was then called) was oriulnally managed by sister of one of the Luv\'ers, Margaret Neilson. ln November 1964, however, with Its membership total around the 30 mark, It was taken in hand by 1he present secretary, Betty Blackie. and put Rrmly on the rond which has led it to figure In yet another or Britain's truly remark­able Ian club success stories.

Quite the most amazing aspect of Lulu's Fan Club is the fact that, materially nt least, it has attained Its stHl-soaring membership figure (wh ich has a lmost quadrupled within the past 12 months) entire ly on the .strength or one so1itary selling point, namely, its 4•6 '"'KC, six-weekly newsletter. .

Neally duplicated on pastel-coloured foolscap paper, the newsletter combines two fu II pages of news with an excep­tional number or exclusive features, lnc1udlng a Poem Corner (devoted to odes In pra ise of Lu lu , wrltte.n by members) and the so•called Get Togethers column through which members -may con­tact teJlow fans living In their lucallty. With these and other more familiar items. such as raffles with autographed LPs and small 1>ersonal articles donntOO by Lu lu herself. os tho prizes. and the Pen Pol and Swap Corners, the newsletter is an invaluable and enjoyable source of in• formation for each and every Lulu ran.

1\he only other item cu rrently offered by the CJut, (apart from thl' membership card) is Hs rctl and gold leatherette· lapel badge, priced at 3s. J'111 II the Club Is a little less than prolific in lhe material supplies deparuncnt, the deficiency is well-ba lanced by the ract that whether answering queries, compiling the news, letter or arranging a meeting between Lulu nnd her funs, Betty Blackie drawfoi upon n vast fund of personal experience and friendship which d ates from the day. some 15 years ago. when she and Lulu fi rst became neighbours in their nat ive Glasgow,

·HE '.' underground" in England is a collection of da rk damp platforms and jostling crowds and mlles and miles of tube trains weaving In and out of tunnels. The " unde rground" in America is a groovier thing, nothing to do with tube tra ins, more to do with beautiful people and beautiful sounds. A way of li fe that

reached its peak with flower•power and weekend hippies but still survives in a more genuine form. Especially on the music scene.

In England lube trains are underground traffic. In A,ne rica, Traffic is "underg round".

And Traffic have just returned from America. "If it hadn't been for the underground moven1ent, we'd never have made

i t in the States" said J in1 Capaldi. "There's a distinct barrier between the teeny.bopper groups and the underground groups - groups like J efferson Airplane and the Electric Flag. And the great thing is that we were im-1nediately accepted by them.

"Muskally over there It'~ like the early days of negro jan-all the grou1>s Just. live for their music. and Jam sessions are a pretty regular thing, with everyone gelling up on s tage to hnve a blow. The extent of your music does.n't really seem to ruatter, Just how well you play and what you know. If you want to make sounds by tapping an ashtray, then you join in. We did one concert-it wa.1 a !liOr t of charity thing-

' out In the street, play Ing from the · back of a truck. It was great because dUl'c rent group members got together and played. If a musician says to you: "Let 's get together 11nd hnvc a blow", you do Just that. A Jam session can go on for hours-you don't talk or anything. You Just play.

It's not the same in England-t suppose there Is an underground over here, but il'f9: not as largo or ns effective. It's on ly natural really, because America is so much larger anyway. Bu t the thing is thRt over there the hippies arc genuinely hip, They may be a bit freaky - but they're very sincere. It's not just a t.rendy fashion .

"The atmosphere is ·so different in America. Over here the kids dontt really need an underground so much-the English have a lol to idenll£y wltb. Our tradition go0$ back centurle•. But In the States they haven't got such an e.Stabl ishcd tradition, they're a very new coun try still. So the kids ore nil searching for an identity- and this breeds a sort o f unrest that's resulted In the whole u.nderground movement. 1'here·s a big vogue for people lo study the old rcd,indian civilisation, for example, and draw paraUcli, hs.twe-cn themS(!:lvcs and these orlg1nul Americans.

" But It's good, because great 1hings come out of an atmosphere like that -there's some really greal music being 1mndc in America at the moment. I'm sure that something really fantastic is going to happen in America very shortly. I don't know what-pc.rhaps it'll explode or some• thing. There's thal sort of an atmosphere over there.

•·so aJlhough we're not rea11y a part of the American underground-we weren' t born into it-we' ve become very involved in it , nnd we\' :! loornt a lot from it. When we- Ont went out there-like the Cream when they first went to the States-we did a straight

stage act. You know, a collect.ion or dlJrerent numbers with u puusc between each one. But before long we'd started running numbers on, and expanding numbers, and having 16-.minute breaks and that sort of thing. J thin k we've become a Jot more l n v o I v e d with our music, and we've s traightened our Ideas out a lot.

''I don't think we' ll ever make another single, By that I don't mean that we won't be releasing singles. But we won't ever go Into the recording studios with the idea of m.aking a hit record - a commercial single that's specifically aimed at the charts. Albums; are for more impor tant-you can put so much more into them. Ce.rtaln tracks may be released as singles, but they won't be recorded as such.

'"The album we're working on 01 the moment will probably be released as o double album. One record of tracks put down in the studio, and the other from tho numbers taped at the cottage, I ·don·, think s tudios arc important cithcr-lhcy'rc far, too complleatl'd, Just a place lor manu• facturfng hit records. Eventually we'll record everything at the cottage on oti.r own tape recorders, and just have pressings mode rrom our tapes. Then we'll only be put• ting down exactly what we play, and not a sound that's been manufactured by the studio engineers.

" We're going back lo Amer ica-and hope we. learn a lot more. I'd like to stay over there for a while, and then come back to this country and t ry and put across the same sort or things th4l the underground groups are doing there. It's so totally different. A concert over there Involves the whole audience-they don't just sit there lis tening, wanting to bo entertnined, They're a part of the whole scene.

"Tl's not that audiences here are basically different-Just 1hat they're not being given the sort of atmosphere, or the sort or show that Involves them. \Vc·d like to try and bring this atmosphere back from the States if we can. Don't get me wrong-It's not Lhat we haven't got good musicians in England. Just that we haven't got as many of them as America-like I said , Amcrlca·!'.i a much larger country, with a lot more or everything. Over here, what there is or the underground mo\'ement is still a part or the general pop scene, whc.reas over there it's almo•1 completely s;,paratc. I think the run impatl o r the underground is still 10 come." DEREK 801,TWOOD

hun& on to them by their manager/ publicist/record com­pany-that cast of thousands every money-making pop act grows around them.

Captain Beelbeart and lhe Magic Band are made QI sterner stuff. Their conventional success lJI not very p-ea\. They have never had a hit record of any sort aeywhere, they have never played at the Albert Hall nor the Shea Stadium nor the Royal VarlelJ, Show, th~y have (to my know, ledge) no thriving fan club, oendln11 out rk:bly•ln!ormed monthly buUetins, and, lhclr face, arc unknown to n:.aders of mqazlnes like '18', 'Jackie' and 'Fabulous•.

Y<I Bcefheart'a Magic Band are undoubted!J, succeuful. They are one or the besl•known Ame.rlcan groups in Brltaln and wherever they play, masted audiences attend. And what ls truly lmPortanl- people talk about Beefheart, and many or them wonder what he's all about

The Captain (r .. l name Don Van Vliet) was roused from a state or sleep to talk to me, and aurreunded by lhe newly­wakened Magic Band (lhrce aware musicians) I learned more about lhe group whose first LP "Safe Aa Milk" Is counted among the best underground records !or years.

" We try to tell tho klda to watch out" said Don. "!l's somelhing that started years ago when I was about si.W..n and I was stopped and aearched by a cop because he didn't like the way I looked.

They are more aware, and this b&s been cauaed by their attitudes. mlnd-cxpandlng drugs, and most Important of all tho mu,lc they IJJiten to. Music Is the most lrnPortanl medium of all of the art forma because for the kids It Is tho easiest to understand-It get., threugh to lhem.

'rhls ts why Dylan put his poems to music. and very successfully too. I can admire Dylan-he's a God in the States.

"The impgrtant thing to the group is t.o communicate. There's really only one song on the 'Sale As Milk' LP that •tarts to put across this Ml'SSllMe, and that's "Elcctrlcit,y".

I can't eapress these Ideas properly In words, I'll have to play you our new LP when It come, thro·u.gh, that's bc\ter. and points towards the aim, the Ideal. There aren't many other groups trying to do Ibis, putting across Ibis type of message. The Byrds? No. Ibey only hinted at It when they rebcct Dylan. Nor the Beatles, although they have certainly brought some fresh air on the scene and done a lot of good. But ·she loves you yeah, yeah'? They're better now-a bit better. The Molhers Of Invention? Yes, lhey"re nearer lo It than al\jlone else, but as I say, I haven't heard many olher groups.

this Is all about, and this la the big gap between the genera­t ions. The kids of lhirteen nowaday-he ones who sco us-­they're lhe kids who are really going to get this meua,c. George Orwell who wrote 1984 knew what wa• going to hap• pen, and now thi.1 is nearer, but it was pretty near even when he wrote 1h11 book. People are brought up In a com• plotely protected atmosphere, but it lsn"t for their good, It confines them. they're restricted by these convcnUona.

As for actor Ronald Reagan . . . I can Just see his wife-she's tho real governor-caylng to him 'Comb your hair THIS way, dear'.''

I said goodbye to the Captain and his Band after remember• Ing !heir first British ally Peter Meaden to them (It was Peter who Introduced the Band to John Peel who haa done so much for them) and wandered off, hoplnv that some of their mesMge would get threugh to you. without the aid ol poetry, or music, or telepathy.

NEXT WEEK:

that has brought them world-wide acclaim. I met Ibo group recently at the Royal Gardens

Hotel, whe·rc they. arc staying prior to their lour • of t: ngland and Scotland. It was • weary foursome

who greeted me lha t a.Hcrnoon-an arduous B.B.C. TV recording session had taken Its toll-but we mana&ed 10 find enough limo for a chat about t.he current folk •cene. t"lrmly e•lllbllshed both here and Stateside, Paddy, Liam, Tom and Tommy have some prclly sc.alhing observations to make regarding the American rolk scene. " It's finished," aald Tommy Makcm. "Everybody's going 'PoP' these days and the kids are getting more country music minded.'' Just to substantiate that remark Tommy gave me a copy of his !IOIO CBS album, "Tommy Makcm Sings Tommy Makem", which Is very much In the cou.ntry music vein.

Al prellClnt, tho Clancy Brethcrs and Tommy Makem are busily recordfng several shows for the B.B.C.: they Include The Billy Colton Show and a 50· minute colour programme "Talk of the Town ... In addition to th.ls the.y have radio dales, recording sessions and a lour lined up-then It's holiday time and a complete rest from the hectic life that has grown round lrela.nd's top folk group.

PRAISE FOR BBC There has a lways been considerable doubt as to

whether the 8 .8 .C. aro able to present a successful television programme centred around folk music. bul I.ho Clancy'1, o.spcclally Tom. a.re full of praise for the way ln which they are left to their own devices regarding song maJcrlal and prelSCntaUon.

Yt!BU of bcln~ Britain's oldest eslublishcd ran club, the some­what extravagantly n am c d Ectsatic Lovers of Vince lngolt's SinglnR ( Elvis for short) has disbanded lor good .

Pausing only to remove his bicycle clip1., disappointed f:CstotJc ,Lover Ron Platt. c lu b secret.ary and 11st surviving member. said yesterday: ''Ye.s, the end has fina lly come. We were h~nglng on In lhe hope that the rock ' n' roll revival would caHy Vince lngott ba ck into public favour. but a.s he is a whispering ballad -sin ger, there wa.s little hope, Even my sister. Ada, the only other member of ELVIS, has recently turned her adoration towards younger and more modern singers like Bing Crosby and Louis Arm• strong·, The end waJ1 marked by a movin g ceremony in which Mr. Plult placed a black wreath bearing lhc words 'lngoU, Ingot! Rahl Rah ! Rah !' around his noc:k und jumped of! Beachy Head, Instead ol the customary R.1.P. upon his gravestone. Hon hns a sked for the letters V.1.P. This, of course. stands lor Vince lngolt's Pal.'ln these days of llcklc fans and passing fancies 1uch unswerving devotion is something lo behold. (Just what I'm not quite sure, bul aomethlng for crying out loud!)

Few of you who read the national press can have ml5"Cld the publicity fo r Tony New-. ber,t's film now In production in sunny CorsJr,a. It is of cours(', entitled: "Can Engel, bert Humpcrdink Forget Mercy Beacoup and Ftnd Happiness Amongst A Pile or Old Ken Dodd Singles?"

On location I met Tony, who Is ,tarring. directing, operating tho camera, making the tea, sharpening the ' pencils , and h11mplng 4 cwt bah,• ol spaghe tti lrom place to place while whistling the mlddlc,elghl ol "The Railway Children" on B.B.C.1. He also wrote the script. (But not ot the same time) On the beach WC ta lked. D.C: Tony, arc you e njoying m·&king this

movie'! TONY: Whnt you mean CEHFMBAFHA·

APOOKDS? D.C: h: Lha t wha t you call the movie for

short? TONY: No. That's a lown in North \Vales. D.C: Is il? TONY: No, It's whal I ca lled the movie for

short ... but not for tong. I fractured my mouth a flcr saying only lhr~ llmts. I couldn't speak tor a month. SO we've rcwrillcn ii as a silent wes tern. I ploy t he shcrriff of Broken J aw.

D.C: Tell me Tony. whnt is the film really about?

TONY: Ifs about 9,000.000 dollar-, over budget

D.C: Bul what is the •tory'I TONY: Well, It s tarted off a s the adventures

of a bus full of retired shoe makers on their annual outing . . . but we abandoned that idea.

D.C: But why abandon • brllflant Idea like lhe a dve ntures ol a bus lull or rel.Ired shoemakers on their annual outing?

TONY: Face It man, It was Just • load of old cobblers. So WC dceicled lo put In some sex.

D.C: And I understand you now have a very, very se1:y picture.

TONY: Yeah man! Sexy! Pow! I'm absolutely certain that It'll be sexier than even Mary Poppins.

D.C: But Mary Poppins wasn' t sexy at a.II. TONY: I know. That'• why I'm so aboolutely

certain. Al one ti~ mind you. we were going to make It I biblical ,tory, like Ben Hur, with Christian martyrs and lions, but the lions wcr(' loo expensive. They kept eating up all lhe prophets.

D.C: So you decided to make It sexy? TONY: Yup. And we made our first big

mistake. We ordered 350 beaullful dolls from a model 11,gency.

D.C: And what happent'((? TONY: We got 3:50 models. Three Inches 1'111,

perfect In every detail, but useleH except in very long , hots.

D.C: Dul Tony, looking around me even now I see you've rectified the problem! All these dozens ol ooautllul 11lrl• In bath, Ing costume! Arc they e xtras?

TONY: What the bathing co1tume1? As far as I'm concerned. yes! But they have laws everywhere ...

D.C: I mean. are the girl.a working on your picture?

TONY: No such luck . They' re the producer's kids.

D.C: All of them?

TONY: He's one ol lhe biggest producers In Hollywood, baby. Some are by his fi r s l mairi.age, some by his second, some by his third , and some by marriage$ he hasn't even caught up w ith yeti

D.C: He gets married a lot? TONY: He's the only guy I know who get•

a discount from the registry office. D.C: Lel's act back to the fllm, Tony. I be·

Ueve it's about a man's sc.arch for himself. TONY: Right now It 11, yes. D.C: And a°"' this man find himself? TONY: Yes, he does. Tums out he's been

hiding In the re lrlgerator a ll the lime! He opena the door and the little light goes on and there he Is. So lo prove himself to himself he challenges himself to a ten mile marathon. That's a pretty racy scene.

D,C: And who wins? TONY: He does of course, who else? D.C: Ye•. ol counic. S illy of me. TONY: But from thl1 moment on, I think

I've 11onc of! the Idea. D.C: But 11'1 brlUlant! TONY: Nol Sitting In a refrigerator? That

oort ol thing leave• me eolcl. D.C: So what will you do right now? TONY: Same as every night Round up the

girls and rehearse tho orgy 11Cene. D.C: ls there an orgy &ci,ne In the mov~

then? · TONY: No, But baby the rehearsals are

fabulou1? Why d on't you Join me? D.C: LOve t o! Oh and by the way, good

luek with Ct:Hf'MBAFHAAPOOKDS! At whl<h p0lnt our Interviewer fractured

his Jaw. And unlll you've tried chatting up 75 bikinied blrd1 with a fractured jaw you don't know the meanlni of pain or fn.istra· tion, or both.
