Manfred Mann are shooting up the charts-as usual- too happy about the commercial material they'rewith their version of "Sha La La". But the boys are none recording. They definitely prefer their L.P. in terms of

songs they themselves like performing. The boys alsohope to bring out an E.P. soon.

thought I had better straightenUP the question of my fan

club. The clubs have all now beencombined one secretary:Chris R. Lorimer, 85 The Turn -ways, Leeds 6. All letters shouldbe addressed to Chris-don't worryif you have already written as allletters will be forwarded and dealtwith fast. May I also take thisopportunity of saying "Thank You"on behalf of my brother and my-self to all our kind friends overhere and don't forget: never kill a"Mockingbird".

GOOD DPWITH an increasing number of

disc -jockeys on radio andTV, they must carefully

choose the material for shows . . .

and it stands to reason that therecords' which give the majorityof listeners the most pleasure arethose in the charts. Most dee-jayshave to us this philosophy. ButBob Wooler, on Sunday evenings,gives a balanced programme, try-ing to include discs by a group,an old record, plus some R and B.I think he should be commended.-Don Godwin, 21 Lynton Green,Wootton, Liverpool 25.

i'm really depressed. And it's about Elvis's new disc. Thereason is that RCA issue this first rate Elvis rocker, cut

some six years ago, and which is obviously going to be agreat hit in Britain and the States. Why am I depressed?Because "Ain't That Loving You Baby" shows the Elvisdiscs made within the last two years or so to be the second-rate recordings they are. The contrast is too much. What willhappen when Elvis has to follow-up this record, and canonly make discs like "One Broken Heart For Sale," or"Viva Las Vegas"?-JOE MATHEWS, 5 Pear Close, Wigan,Lancs.

BEST BLUESSANDRA CLEMSON'S outspoken

letter (RM, October 17) re-flects the opinions of many

club regulars who are experiencedenough to know that groups likeGraham Bond and Alexis Kornerwere giving out the R and B whenmost of the so-called top groupswere non-existent, or were on thetrad band -wagon. The technicalability of Bond and his associatestranscends by far most of the so.called big guns. He was Playingthe only organ in the R and 13

field two years ago. Heckstall-Smithis easily the best R and B sax inthe land, with Jack Bruce probablythe best bassist and Ginger Bakera fine all-round drummer. Becausethey are not in a certain clique,they are not on in record sessions.But they certainly pull the crowds.-Elizabeth Wilson, 460 SpringburnRoad, Glasgow N.

HURST HURTPROTEST I must. What are

Philips Records playing at?Mike Hurst has brought out

a great disc "Half Heaven - HalfHeartache," yet it is unheard of.A store I visited hadn't heard ofit and I created such a fuss thatthey rang Philips. "Mike Hurst?Is he one of OUR artistes?" O.K.I ordered the disc. Went backto the store. Rang Philips againbecause it hadn't come in. "Yes,we have, ONE copy-we'll post iton." Went back to thedisc was being played and every-one was raving about it. Come on,Philips. Mike can be dynamite.-Chris R. Lorimer, Glencairn, 85,The Turnways, Leeds, 6.

REMEMBERTHURSDAY, October 29 is one

year exactly after the tragicdeath of Michael Holiday.

for one, will always rememberMike's friendly personality throughhis many excellent records. I guessthat many others will, too. It's thegood things we remember . . . -Roger E. Saunders, 64 AbbotsfordGardens, Woodford Green, Essex.

BIG BAD BILLWHAT on earth is Bill Haley

talking about? His rhythmguitarist says that R and

B and rock 'n' roll are the' same.This only goes to show how littlefeeling this so-called artiste has.Bill may still be a good rock singerbut as far as I can see rock hashad it. And he has completelyshattered my respect for him afterinsulting R and B in this way.-M. Heaven, 63 Gordon Avenue,Hornchurch, Essex.

HEART -BROKENSO at last Norman Petty has

given the true facts about theBuddy Holly tapes being

finished. Now all his fans, havingwondered how long it can lastover the years, are now thoroughly.heart -broken. Though we won't behearing any more releases, we canremember that Buddy was a greatearly influence on many stars, in-cluding the Beatles and BrianPoole. - Christabel Barrass, Edge -wood, Houghton Road West, HeltonLe -Hole, Co. Durham.

MADNESSHAS Andrew Oldham gone corn-

pl::tely wrong? The second re-lease from a new artiste is

always the hardest to make intoa chart hit and Marianne Faithful)has just had her second disc re-leased. But after a Top Ten entryfor her lovely "As Tears (30 isyhow can she possibly get anywherein the charts with the horriblearrangement of "Blowin' In TheWind". The song just isn't her'type. - Richard Green, Bretaye,Mill Hill, Shenfleld, Brentwood,Essex.

James Craig says: An-cient Chinese proverb goes-People who predict discflop often end up miss-hitt

FEMME NITSIHEARD a live performance on

Radio Luxembourg but theconversation betwen the host

and guest group was obliterated bythe screams of hundreds of femi-nine nits. I wonder if they realisehow cheap they make themselveslook when they scream at anidol. It is just because the atten-tion is on the artiste, and not onthe fans-I suppose they scream inthe hope of getting a smile fromthe idol and have an excuse tofaint and cause a fuss. It's a pitysomeone doesn't ram a sock downtheir throats-then we'd all havesome peace. If I went to one ofthese shows, I wouldn't gain any-thing, lust lose . . . a dozen pairsof socks.-Miss V. Cornwell, 1 TheCottages, Little Cliffsend Farm,Ramsgate, Kent.

NEGLECTEDWHY do our best groups re-

lease their best discsabroad. The Stones, for in-

stance, had "Tell Me" and "I JustWant To Make Love To You" outin the States-a top side whichwould have sold big here. 'Nowthey have another there-while wehave been neglected again. TheBeatles are also offenders, withEP's in France and Denmark andin Germany. Some titles are outhere on LP's, but who can affordthirty bob each time. I have theseEP's because they are beingsmuggled into the country.-GeorgeChappell, 120 Saddlebow Road,King's Lynn, Norfolk.

Says James Craig: Onmany parts of the Con-tinent, there are no singles-only El.'s. This gives atleast a partial explanation.

OLDIE EP

LONDON AMERICAN have re-leased a most successful

series of "Oldie" L.P's. Howabout the companies releasingEP's of deleted tracks? London,could, for instance, issue one con-taining four of the greatest grouprecordings ever made, but nowunfortunately unavailable: "Whis-pering Bells," by the Del -Vikings;"You Cheated," the Shields; "SinceI Don't Have You," the Skyliners;"I Wonder Why," the Belmonts.Again, a rocking package couldconsist of a track each from -LarryWilliams, Chuck Berry, BobbyFreeman and Fats Domino. It'dgive the fans a chance to collectdeletions wthout having to buy anLP. - Michael Pearce, 12 OldBrigade Road, VVhIstable, Kent.

Fleet St. snubs StonesWE LIKE THE ROLLING STONES! We admire

their music, their unconventional image! Andthat is apart from the fact that we were the firstpop -music paper to write about them and to saythey would, quite definitely, be very big stars.

But we are puzzled by the lack of acclaim inthe National Press for these long-haired ambassa-dors of British pop. Consider. The Beatlestravelled the world to an accompaniment of head-lined jubilation from the Fleet Street scribes.Their every utterance was faithfully reported:every gesture was photographed.

We don't want to start a Beatles v. RollingStones feud. That would be ridiculous, TheBeatles have completely dominated world show-

business . . . and rightly so! But surely, in fairness,the Stones, who have received tremendous adula-tion on the Continent and (these past few days) inAmerica, should have their fair share of credit andnewspaper coverage.

What has happened? Virtually nothing in theNational Press. Could it be that the finicky FleetStreet fraternity has turned sour on Britishachievements in the competitive world of pop?Of course, during the "silly season" the news-papers were glad of anything that would sellpapers. Now they have the Election, Olympics,economics to talk about. But we feel that it isunfair that the Stones' achievements should passwith so little recognition.

This is why the Record Mirror is proud to spot-light the Stones' tours of the Continent andAmerica this week. This is why we've always givenfull coverage to the Beatles and their boost -British efforts wherever they have travelled.

The Stones DO make news-and in a big way.Not just because of the length of their hair, ortheir off -beat personalities. Their music is import-ant. The Americans are finding this out for them-selves.

And if the National newspapers can't, or won't,reflect the Stones' triumphs . . . well, the RecordMirror is proudly glad to do just that.

This twenty -foot high poster dominated the Champs Elysees for two weeks beforethe Stones sensational visit. The boys are so well known in Paris that even whenshopping in St. Germain de Pres, Charlie Watts was stopped many times and asked

for his autograph.

Mick runs offin Paris

FRANCE has been attacked andoccupied. It then capitulatedto the Commando force of

five which had launched a surpriseattack in the early part of lastwee!.

According to latest reports theforce has now attacked andoccupied New York and is all setfor a complete take-over of NorthAmerica. Taking a closer look atthe domination of Paris of thissuperlative force-code name 'Roll-ing Stones' we find that they leftthe city reeling under their impact.

In both Paris and Brussels BrianJones announced "I'd love to havea flat here, yes, one in New Yorkas well then I'd commute betweenthe three". And it was this inter-national Mr. Jones who had sur-prised a Paris taxi driver( and theother Stones) by giving directionsin almost fluent French a fewhours before. He's hidden talentshas our Brian!

Mick Jagger also surprised theFrench. After t h e sensationalOlympia concert where contrary tonational press reports the Frenchfans were rioting favourably, th?,boys were whisked away in a

by BRIAN HARVEYlocked police van which to avoidtrouble toured the streets for sometime.

"It was all right, I suppose",confessed Mick, "but when Inoticed a rack of sten guns aboveMY head I began to wonder whatsort of trouble they were expect-ing." Mick, fed up with the ride.opened the back doors at trafficlights and alone, disappeared intothe crowds.

SURPRISESCharlie Watts had surprises up

his sleeve too. Shopping for clothesin St. Germain De Pres with Mick,Andrew Oldham, myself and -ourphotographer Marc Sharratt, hedarted into an art shop and startedthumbing through Picasso andBuffet prints. "Like to take someof these back," he said, and pro-ceeded to talk of modern art indetail. Charlie, who was once ahighly paid illustrator with severalbooks to his credit, obviously has

other talents than those he showson stage.

"The only shopping I've hadtime for was to buy a bluesweater," said Keith Richard aswe sipped whisky and coke at hishotel bar-this aiabolical mixtureis the Stones' favourite pep- updrink. Very good after late nightsand early mornings. Keith waslooking forward to the currentAmerican visit. "New York has anatmosphere all its own," he added."the only other places I've foundlike that are Paris and London.The group is very big in NewYork but this Paris reception hasknocked us right out. BrunoCoauatrix who owns the Olympiatold us we had the biggest recep-tion ever for visiting artistes."

The Stones did indeed capturethe French. They have threerecords in the top ten and now avery firm place in French affec-tions. If they have only half asmuch success in the States they'llstill be tops.

THE latest gimmick in popdiscs: sound effects!

Riding up the charts arefour pert young (16 and 17years old) American girls,The Shangri-Las with theirrecording (on the Red Birdlabel) of Remember (Walkin'In The Sand). Part of thebacking, which adds atmos-phere to the seashore localeof the song, consists of thecries of seagulls. The record'sproducer, George Morton,has struck it so lucky withthis sound effect that thegirls' follow-up disc (LeaderOf The Pack) will use motorcycle engines as part of theaccompaniment.

by DAVIDGRIFFITHS

Though three of the fourgirls (Mary -Ann, Marge andMary) are still attendingschool in New York, they arecurrently visiting Britain ona fast fortnight's promo-tional trip (leaving Mary'ssister Betty back home witha bad cold).

Over here, the girls' oddstage costumes are unlikelyto cause many gasps ofastonishment because HonorBlackman has already popu-larised the gear. They wearblack leather thigh boots,black suede waitcoats, floppybow -ties and striped whiteshirts. I asked if they'dpicked up the idea fromwatching Honor wearing all -leather outfits in ITV'sAvenger series.

"No," said Mary (wholooks like a teenage Bardotj,"we've never seen that pro-gramme, don't think it'sbeen shown in America. And

THE SHANGRI-LAS-their new disc will be considerablydifferent to their current hit "Remember". It's called "Leader

this is our first visit toBritain. We just decidedamong ourselves that weought to assemble an un-usual stage outfit. We lookedaround and this is what webought.

The Shangri-Las' biggestproblem on in -person per-formances is. of course, thesound effects. They canhardly carry seagulls andmotor bikes around as partof the act!

"Doesn't matter toomuch," their personal man-ager, Larry Martire, told rne."George Morton's songs

aren't wholly reliant on thesound effects and they soundall right without. If neces-sary, we can always use atape recording backstage.

Anyway Larry isn't com-plaining. He's managed themfor a year and for the firstsix months he did nothingbut attend to their schooling,their choreography, theirclothing and their musicalarrangements. "It took me alot of money but I had faiththat they'd make the top andthey've done marvellouslywell already. Now their am-bition is to go into themovies."

RECORD MIRROR, Week ending October 31, 1964

MOLLIES -ITTAKES HARDWORK -NOTGIMMICKS

"WE'RE a funny group," said Graham Nash of The Holliesthoughtfully. "The rules that apply to most of show

business don't apply to us."He went, on t'o explain: "A lot of groups make a couple of

records that reach the top - and are never heard of again.They have a gimmick which sells a couple of times - butthen becomes stale. We've got no gimmicks, and I thinkthat's why we stay popular. Once you've got a gimmick it'svery hard to change."

We were sitting in hismanager's office in London'sSoho. Graham and his wife,Rosemary, had just drivendown from their Tudorcottage home in Manchesterwhere they had managed tograb themselves a few hoursrelaxation. "That's the big.gest disadvantage in thisbusiness," Graham admitted."We have so little time toourselves. Nobody outside thebusiness seems to be able toget it in perspective. Thepop fans think it's wonder-ful. They just see theglamour and excitement.Their parents are slightlycynical about it, and oftenjealous because of the moneywe earn. None of themrealises that it's hard work.Especially all the travelling.It makes it difficult to un-wind."

Even so, The Hollies are

by SALLYBROMPTON

not disillusioned by thebright lights of the popworld. "We love it," theyadmitted, "probably becausewe've been successful. Dis-illusionment c o m es withfailure. But then it's thesame with anything."

FRIENDLYAnd so far The Hollies

haven't had to worry aboutfailure. Possibly becausethey're friendly to theirfans. Often they set aside anhour after one of their datesto sign autographs. "Thekids think of us as the'funny' group," said Graham."We're just ourselves onstage - and we do what-ever we feel like."

TIM HOLLIES-scoring with their hit "We're Through". Their new L.P. "The Hollies Style" is already in the shops.

In fact, The Hollies appearto be one of the mostrelaxed groups on thepresent scene. They enjoyplaying - and it comes overduring their performances."But it's very hard work tolook relaxed," Graham toldme. "And it's difficult tomake an act like ours lookeasy. Unless you work to-gether - it's almost impos-sible. We're lucky becauseour group is made up of fivepersonalities that fittogether."

And the five happy-go-lucky Hollies do fit together.Allan Clarke, Bobby Elliott,Tony Hicks, Eric Haydock

and Graham act as friends,colleagues and stooges toone another. They joke,argue and quarrel together.Then make it up and throwthemselves wholeheartedlyinto the next performance.As a team.

And as a team they areearning roughly between/13,000 to /15,000 a week."But I don't think we'reoverpaid," said 22 -year -oldGraham. "After all, we haveworked for it, and we maybe finished in a year fromnow." Already the boys arediscovering the ficklenessand faithfulness of the fans."No group, however popular,

can afford to give second-rateperformances," Graham ex-plained. "The fans will onlysupport you as long as youlive up to their expectations.

In spite of all the moneythey are earning The Holliesdon't have much to spend.They have a financialmanager in Manchester whoholds the purse strings. "Ofcourse, it's in our owninterests," confessed Graham,"but it can get a bit embar-rassing when we have to goto him for every penny."

DISLIKESI asked Graham what he

disliked about becoming

famous. "Suddenly everyonewants to become friendlywith you so they can cashin on your success," hereplied. "You have to beable to sort out which areyour real friends and whicharen't. The thing to remem-ber is not to let peopleimpose upon you. I don't."

Would Graham encourageany children of his own toenter the business? "If theywanted to," he said. "I cer-tainly wouldn't stop them.But I wouldn't like them tobecome too involved in thepop world. It's too precariousa life to take all thatseriously."

SEGOVIA PLANEThe world's finest guitarist on

the same 'plane as popsters Peterand Gordon, The Searchers, andEden Kane. That was the scene inNew Zealand recently. But theBritish POP singers didn't realisethat Andres Segovia, the Spanishclassical guitarist, was flying withthem, until after they had left theplane.

Although the master probablyknew that Peter and Gordon andCo. were in the pop business fromthe noise they were making on mostof the journey, they didn't hearuntil disembarkation that Segoviahad been a fellow -passenger. SaidPeter and Gordon afterwards: "Wefelt a bit ashamed really, hoggingall the limelight with the crowdsand photographers, on the tarmacand in the airport building. If wehad known of his presence wewould happily have stood aside andlet Segovia be properly received-after all, we, like nearly all 'pop'musicians these days, are ardentSegovia fans."

THE shoes, of course, were off . . . kicked away under a table ladenwith celebrity drinks and food. Sandie Shaw, slim and seventeen,was receiving her Record Mirror TOPPER award from Adam Faith,

the top popster who had so much "Faith': in her talents.Watching the presentation was a huge gathering of dee-jays, pub-

lishers, show -biz folk. Sandie gulped as the flash -bulbs plopped, said:"Marvellous-never, ever, thought anything like this would happen tome.". And she marvelled more at the thought of how quickly it hadall happened.

Said Adam: "Sandie's really a marvellous girl, you know. She likes tostudy the business-improve herself all the time. I think she's not reallygrasped all this Number One business yet. Sometimes she just seemsovercome by it all.

"But I was genuinely impressed by the qualities in her voice as soonas she came back -stage to see the Roulettes. That took a lot of courage,you know, just sort of crashing into a dressing -room and announcing thatshe wanted to be a singer.

"She sang 'Everybody Loves A Lover'. and though it was an impromptuperformance it was just right. It only needed that one song to convinceme that she had this rare sort of talent. I think she's a natural. Sodid my manager, Eve Taylor, as soon as I introduced her. It's thequality in her voice-marvellous!"

Sandie had only one doubt. She thought she had to give back herTOPPER Award as soon as her record dropped from Number One spot.She was assured that it is hers for life. A permanent reminder of theway she raced, bare -foot, to the top of the charts with only her secondrecord.

Said Ambrose: "Nothing definitehas been fixed at present but Ican say that the film company hasapproached me with a view tohaving Kathy as the star of a bigfilm, She would perhaps singseveral numbers but the role wouldbe principally an acting one."

Kathy herself was delighted withthe news. She said, "I am thrilledto bits. I have always wanted toact, and this may prove to be mybig chance. But it won't meanthat I'm giving up singing to con-centrate on an acting career," shepromised.

Those were the first words fromAndrew Oldham, the Rolling Stones'recording manager, when he phonedRecord Mirror across the Atlanticon Monday from New York, wherethe Stones had torn the town apart.

Andrew was confirming reportsfrom press agencies that the Stoishad hit the city like a torn o."It was The Beatles all over againfor pop -battered New York City"said one newspaperman.

The Stones arrived at KennedyInternational Airport on Friday to areception by hundreds of screaminggirls. Previously, letters had beendespatched to 18,000 members of thegroup's American fan clubs, plead-ing with them not to go to theairport. As the Stones walked fromtheir jetliner to the customs build-ing, two bouquets of roses weredropped from a third -floor observa-tion deck. One of them hit MickJagger on the head. "It's true,"confirmed Andrew, "M i c kstaggered." The Stones then wentinto a private customs room forbaggage inspection, and then intolimousines heading for New YorkCity.

Their first appearance in NewYork was at the BroadwayAcademy of Music, where, despitethe Presence of cops on stage,several girls fought their way to thestage, One managed to clamberUP and kiss Keith Richard beforeshe was dragged down by cops.

They gave two shows at theAcademy, to a total audience ofabout seven thousand People. Co-manager Eric Easton said after-wards: "It was fantastic."

When the Stones left the Astorhotel, hundreds of young fanssurrounded the building. After copshad cleared a path to waiting cars,Mick, Brian, Keith, Bill and Charliemade a dash for it. But only twomade it. The other three headedback for the hotel, and Charlie wasdragged into the crowd. "We hadto go back and rescue him," saidAndrew. Then safely in the cars,Eric Easton still couldn't believeit was true. "We literally had touse bulldozing tactics to get to thecars. As for the show itself it wasfantastic, It fully lived up to ourexpectations. The kids loved them."

At Sunday's Ed Sullivan TV show,impresario Sullivan had to appealto teenagers to behave after theStones' first number - "NeverStopped Rockin' Till The MoonWent Down." But the screams wenton through the second number."Time Is On My Side," the "A"side of their current Americanrelease, now number 30 in theCashbox Chart.

The record had soldthe last count, and at presstime,Andrew Oldham told RM: "It'sbound to be a ridiculous big hit.I am convinced the Ed Sullivanshow will put 100,000 on thatfigure."

Orders for the Stones' AmericanLP, "12 x 5" had reached 60,000on Monday. Titles are: "AroundAnd Around," "Confessin' TheBlues," "Empty Heart," "Time IsOn My Side," "Good Times," "It'sAll Over Now," "2120 South Michi-gan Avenue," "Under The Board-walk," "Congratulations," "GrownUp Wrong," "If You Need Me,"and "Susie Q."

The Stones flew to the WestCoast on Monday, for concerts andthree days of solid recordings fora new LP. "The Stones have beenwriting a terrific amount of stuffand I've set up a music companyover here to deal with it," saidAndrew.

HETHE BEATLES trail into the recording studios of EMI in1 London's Abbey Road. Not together . . . to expect all

the Beatles to turn up at the same time is to expect amiracle. Recording manager George Martin, tall and easy -to -meet, no longer believes in miracles.

Paul arrives in his owncar. S'a does George. Johnand Ringo come by thegroup's limousine. They'relate. But then George Martinoften calls a session half -an -hour earlier than he wantsbecause it means getting aprompter start.

Neil Aspinall and MalcolmEvans, the road managers,line up the equipment. Afast job of work-both areexperts after months ;3fworld travel. The Beatleshuddle together and chatover an arrangement. Voicesare raised. The atmosphere,one feels, is starting towarm up.

John and Paul work out theirvocal touches by one microphone.George sits, clutching his guitar,coaxing out intricate solo phrases.Ringo sits quietly, away from theothers. He drums, sharp beat -pat-terns, but quietly . using hishands on his knees.

INSTINCTIt looks as if nothing is organ-

ised. But that's the way the Beatlesprefer to work. The regimental dis-cipline of many of the lesser groupsdoesn't appeal. The Beatles act oninstinct, on improvisation.

Up in the control -room, GeorgeMartin watches patiently. He seesPaul McCartney refer to a tattyscrap of paper, apparently mouth-ing some words. Not to worry. Pauloften puts the finishing touches to anew set of lyrics on an envelopeor empty cigarette packet. Spur-of-the-moment stuff, again. Y e tthose words, so carelessly jotteddown, will be worth many thou-sands of pounds.

John announces that the boyshave made a decision. George Mar-tin and the engineer perk up. "Weneed some tea," says John. Mal-colm Evans, quietly reading in acarrier of the studio, is leapingout towards the "char -machine" inthe corridor. "You get to be a

******** * * * *mind-reader in this business," hesays.

Everything stops for tea with theBeatles. Yet hardly anything hadhappened yet! After the best partof half -an -hour. Suddenly a Beatleshouts: "OK George, let's try one."Tapes spin and the Beatles launchinto a very energetic version of anew McCartney -Lennon number.

MIMINGThumbs -up signs from the con-

trol -room, but the boys are per-fectionists. They've noticed some-thing not quite right. They gettogether, ironing out a minor sec-tion of phrasing. For no apparentreason, John indulges in someriotous miming gestures. An all -in -wrestler? Maracca-shaker? Difficultto tell, but everybody smilesbroadly.

Another take. Then another. Theboys leap up to the control -roomfor the play -backs. George grimacesat a middle -eight Play -back but theothers mumble that "It's great,just right, George." George Martinlooks pleased. So do the handful ofvisitors . . . people like JaneAsher, or Peter and Gordon, orBrian Epstein often drop in.

John asks if they can do justone more "take." They've had anidea to change, and improve, onesmall bit of the introduction. Backto the studio floor, Ringo reachinghis drum kit by a series of GrouchoMarx -like steps, head bent wellforward.

Lighthearted banter from all sides.George Martin restores order witha polite: "Let's REALLY get onethis time, boys." Suddenly, in asplit-second, the Beatle-gagging isturned off . . and the seriousbusiness of getting a final tapeof a new single is undertaken, Thesong (title has to be kept secretas yet) really moves with excite-ment and verve. Somehow it iseasier, in the studio, to pick outMORE of the boys' individual in-strumental contributions. But thenthere is no screaming, no yelling.Just a Beatle Sound.

ES STUDIOEMI PIX BY JOHN DOVE STORY BY JAMES CRAIG

THE BEATLES: This great John Dove shot was taken at an earlier Beatles recording session. . . and this is a first publication of it. "Don't we look better than the chimpanzees who

drink this sort of char on telly -commercials?" enquired John.

RECORD MIRROR, Week ending October 31, 1964 11

Herman's betwith his Dad!DRESSED in a black pullover, pale blue shirt, slim brown trousers and black shoes,

Herman perched on a bench in his dressing room and told me what difference anumber one had made for him. "Well, it's made me a lot of 'friends' that I don't want,and of course I'm obviously better off financially," he began. "It's a fantastic feeling,having a number one, but we just can't picture ourselves as being in the number one position."All the other chart toppers have been big idols like Roy Orbison, The Beatles, ManfredMann etc., who have worked for years for their success. Whereas we made it first go."Another difference is the

reaction of the girls who screammore. And we get recognised inthe street which gives you a bigkick."

I offered Herman a cigarette-"Ta, very much," he said in hisbroad Manchester accent - andinquired what his family felt aboutthe success of their only son.

"I haven't had a chance to talkto them since we reached the top.But I know they'll be very proud.The last time I saw them waswhen we were at number threeand MY Dad said- 'I bet it getsto number one.' We had a littlewager and now I owe him somemoney!" he laughed.

ACCIDENTHerman, or Pete as he prefers

to be called, has been in showbusiness since the age of 11. Hemade his T.V. debut in 1959, inGranada T.V's "Knight Errant,"and has also appeared in "FamilySolicitor" and "Coronation Street."I asked him whether he enjoyedbeing an actor more than a popsinger. "I started off as an actor,and the group thing was just anaccident," he replied. "I did notlike the actors I worked with,except for all those on 'CoronationStreet.' They were a great lot.

"Now I'd definitely sooner havethe group. But I hope I may beable to go back into acting oneday perhaps. Because I used togo to speech training and I was

by GEORGE ROONEYable to speak proper English," hesaid in his best Oxford accent!"But now I've gone back to the oldManchester slang. We're getting achance at acting at Christmas, inthe pantomime, and we'll have tosee how that goes." He remarkedthat being in a group was a formof acting. because on stage theyclown around and this takes a littleskill.

"If I had to choose betweenacting and singing I'm not surewhich I'd pick. I don't reckonmyself as a singer or an actor.So I suppose I must be a nothing.I'm just a normal person. At themoment singing is great, but ifI'd never been in either and wasstarting afresh, I would chooseacting because there is a lot morescope there. "The one thing thatworries me is pretending I'm some-body that I'm not - and that'sacting. I like to be just me. PeteNoone and be one of the lads allmy life. But at the same time Ido want to be something betterthan the lads, so it's all a bitmixed up," he confessed.

The young pop star speaks withrefreshing honesty. He doesn't like"fakers," as he calls them. Headmits quite frankly that he's beenexpelled from a few schools. He'sneither ashamed or proud of this-it's just a true fact. Willingly hewill tell you his likes and dislikes.

Take for instance his currentsuccess.

"I've found that a few people inother groups, who used to be myfriends now want to try and putme down a bit. And the only waythey can think of doing this is bycalling me big -headed - whichI'm not - I haven't changed any-way in myself. But they like totake you down a peg, so they callYOU big headed and think that willhurt YOU. But it doesn't botherme, Just as long as People don'tstart believing them. These gossipsget on my nerves - they're prob-ably jealous."

OPPOSITEHe mentioned that another thing

which annoyed him were People whodon't allow for one's mistakes.

"I make some whoppers, likesaying the wrong things, or acciden-tally leaving the stage a fewminutes early." The Liverpoolgroups came in for a lot of praise,while on the subject of the RollingStones he commented:

"They are the exact opposite tous. We play a completely differentstyle of music. We're not allintelligent like they are supposedto be," Herman opined. "We don'twear long hair and scruffy - sorry,casual!-clothes like them. Wehaven't got the sex appeal theyhave. Ours is a 'baby' sort ofappeal.

Will folk music become reallybig? Herman thinks-at least hopes-so. "Most of the music that theEnglish groups are playing now isold American stuff. But the BritishIs:es has its own folk songs andif they came back then we wouldbe really doing our own numbers."Finally, the group's new disccomes out soon. Over to Hermanagain.

"We recorded the number a shorttime ago and it's released onNovember 13 - the day before westart our national tour. It's called'Show Me, Girl,' again written byGoffiin and King.

"We can't really tell how it'sgoing to do, but it is a much betternumber than the last one, But youcan't always say that a betternumber will do as well. Becauselast time we had no Rolling Stonesor Beatles to fight with at the time.This one is a completely differentstyling. But it's a happy tuneagain . . . not a ball nor a fastnumber. It goes like .

He sang the opening few barsof the opus and it sounded prettygood to me! Then it was time forme to make the trek home. Iwished Pete happy birthday, inadvance, because he reaches theage of 17 on November 5. GuyFawkes day, and to coin anAmerican expression -he's a realregular guy!

RATHER a mixed LP this one.There's a selection of originalsongs, and revivals and in

most cases the originals soundmuch better. All of the balladssuch as the Rick Nelson number"Sweeter Than You," and "If YouLove Me" are handled verysmoothly, and very nicely by theboys.

Bobby Parker's greatest record

CIREAT news for all interested in rhythm and blues"- is that this week Sue re-release the fantastic"Watch Your Step" by Bobby Parker (Sue WI -340).This record, which was originally released and deletedduring 1961, is considered by many people to be aclassic R & B record. Undoubtedly it was ahead of it'stime when it was first made available here, but now,

MI with the R & B craze at it's height, it should at lastattain the popularity it deserves.

"Watch Your Step" openswith a pounding guitar intro,before Bobby Parker's wildlyexciting vocalising takes overin front of a wading band. Therecord is pure dynamite fromstart to finish, and literallycompelling in making one wantto get up and dance. The flip-side "Steal Your Heart: Away"a (which was recently recordedhere by the Moody Blues) isanother sensational outing takenat a slower tempo by BobbyParker and his band. This sideshows a more marked Raya Charles influence than the top-side, and many people preferthis. It undoubtedly makes therecord a two-sided treat.

GreatestUnfortunately little is known

of Bobby Parker. Of the fourrecords he has so far made,"Watch Your Step" is un-doubtedly the greatest. Accord-ing_ to reliable sources, he hasnow started his own recordcompany, but no releases have

__ been forthcoming yet. Therelease of this record here isyet another feather in the cap

by

GUY STEVENS

of Island Records, who are fastbuilding their "Sue" subsidiaryinto the established authenticrhythm and blues label here.Despite being a small label,they have stuck to their policyof releasing only specialist R& B material through "Sue,"and it is now beginning to payoff.

Over the past weeks, theyhave issued the Elmore Jamesclassic "Dust My Blues" (SueWI -335), the recent Americanhit by the Wallace Brothers"Precious Words" (Sue WI -334)and a fine blues disc byLouisiana Red "I Done WokeUp" (Sue WI -337). Apart fromthese, they have a superb backcatalogue of releases by suchgreat names as Ike & TinaTurner, Inez Foxx, HomesickJames, Patti LaBelle and theBluebelles and the Soul Sisters,

Bobby Parker

and they have some great discs'ined up for release in thecoming weeks: among them"Like Long Hair" by PaulRevere and The Raiders, "LoopDe Loop" by the Soul Sistersand "The Bounce" by TheOlympics.

at any record shop in England,but due to their specialistnature many shops do not stockthem and they have to beordered. For a complete list ofSue R & B releases to date,write to: -ISLAND RECORDSLTD., 108 Cambridge Road,London, N.W.6.

Poignant new Jim ReevesJIM REEVES

There's A Heartache FollowingMe; Diamonds In The Sand (RCAVictor 1423).

COUNTRY -STYLED piano opensthis medium pace weepie fromthe late great country star.

The tune is pleasant and there'sa certain haunting quality about thewhole thing. The backing is softand subtle, while Jim's velvet toneswill doubtless be in the top tenfor many a week to come. Flip isa slower number with a more con-ventional flavour, and not as muchcountry feel as usual. It's a greatwistful item with Jim on top ofhis vocal form as usual.

Could do a lot forthe sales.

TOP FIFTY TIP

SINGLES IN BRIEFTHE DRIFTERS: I've Got Sand InMy Shoes; He's Just A Playboy(Atlantic AT 4008). Follow-up totheir "Under The Boardwalk" hitcould well be part two of the samesong. It's very similar, both tuneand lyric -wise. Latin-ish and.listenable againTHE ISLEY BROTHERS: The LastGirl; Looking For A Love (AtlanticAT 4010). A slow almost Bache-rach-styled effort from the Isley'shere. Pleasant and subtle tune, withstrings in the backing and a jerkyvocal sound. Different, but not to'impressive.MARK WYNTER: Forever And ADay; And I Love Her (Pye 7N15716). A tender ballad from Mark,with subtle string work, and afemme chorus backing him up. It'spleasant but it's more for adult,than teen consumption.RALPH DOLLIMORE: When TheChildren Are Asleep; What KindOf Fool Am I (HMV POP 1352).The Richard Rodgers number isgiven a tasteful piano workout viathe excellent night-club styledpianist. It's slow and very. late -night flavoured. Perhaps a verysteady seller.PATSY ANN NOBLE: Tied UpWith Mary; Green Eyed People(Columbia DB 7386). A brash beat.ster here with loud drumbeat almostdominating the vocal. It's verycatchy and a trumpet and femmechorus. helps things along.WILLIE DIXON: Crazy For MyBaby; Walking The Blues (Pye lnt.7N 25270). The popular vet bluesterand ace writer has a swingingblues -tinged item here. Very com-mercial too and it could justscrape in.DONALD PEERS: Club Night PartOne; Part Two (Columbia DB 7396).What can YOU say! A completecabaret here from the still verypopular star. "Everybody join in"too, and with Xmas coming uo,this should go a bomb -especiallywith all the Peers fans there areA selection of songs,RONNIE JONES: Let's Pin A RoseOn You; I Need Your Loving(Decca F 12012). A plaintive soulfuleffort from Ronnie - with predict-able lyrics and tune, but neverthe-less a pleasant sounding blues -tinged song.THE GOLDBRIARS:Sea Of Tears;I've Got To Love Somebody(Columbia DB 7384). A pleasanteasy -on -the -ear number by a girlgroup which has some interestingharmony arrangements. Soft andgentle with an insistent beatnevertheless.FREDDIE STARR: Never Cry OnSomeone's Shoulder; Just A KeepOn Dreaming (Decca F 12009).Soft tender vocal and jerky beatfrom Freddie. Femme chorussubtly backs him up, and the songclimbs up to an interesting beatballad climax. Could do well withPlugs,GLADYS KNIGHT AND THEPIPS: Lovers Always Forgive; An-other Love (Stateside SS 352).Soulful vocal group here, and aslow exotic plaintive femme leadnumber. Sad and well performedbut not commercial.THE MUGWUMPS: I Don't WannaKnow; I'll Remember Tonight(Warner Bros. WB 144). Loudmedium pace sound fromthis group. Guitar and drum beatwith danceable tempo and saxinterruptions.SPIKE MILLIGAN: The OlympicTeam; The Epilogue (Pye 7N 15720).From his TV show comes thisvery humourous effort, which hasbeen released as a single due todemand. Should be a big seller -may not be a chart effort though.THE EXECUTIVES: Strictly ForThe Beat; No Room For Squares(Columbia DB 7393). A rather dullfast instrumental here. Sounds likea theme, which it probably is.Well performed enough but lackingany atmosphere.

DORIS TROY: What'cha Gonna DoAbout It; Tomorrow Is Another Day(Atlantic AT 4011). This girl hasn'thad a disc since her wonderful"Just One Look" well over a yearago. This is a bluesy medium paceheavy effort with good lyrics andsensational vocal work. One forthe specialists in new R and B.THE CONTRASTS: Call Me; ComeOn Let's Go (Parlophone R5190).A gentle and rather interestingballad here. It's appealing andmoves along well. The boys arewell supported by a syncopatedbeat, and their vocal harmony isgood.

THE SILVER DOLLARS: Rainbow;If I Lost You (Mercury MFPleasing ballad, this one. Leadvocalist is good -almost a touchof Nat 'King' Cole about his voice.Hymnal sounding organ backsthings up -maybe a little toosolemn for success.RONNIE DANTE: Don't Stand UpIn A Canoe; If You Love MeLaurie (Stateside SS 351). A gim-micky item here, with a good setof lyrics, and piano and femmechorus backing up this. Not bad,but not really for this country.THE FISHER BROTHERS: T h eBig Round Wheel; By The TimeYou Read This Letter (London HLN9928). An interesting harmony itemfrom the new pair. Rather .EverlyBros. inclined, with a pleasantshuffling beat.ROY HAMILTON: There She Is;The Panic Is On (MGM 1251). Thebig voiced gent and a build -and -build ballad with heavenly femmechorus helping things along. APleasant tune here, but not muchchance chart -wise.

JORGE RENAN & LAS GUITAR,RAS FANTATICAS: Topkapi; TheBull Fight Song (United Artists UP1071). A pleasant little latin-tingedinstrumental here, OK for olderlatin fans, but not for the teeners.Exquisite guitar work.

PEPE JARAMILLO: The LittleSparrow Of Paris: The Love OfMy Life (Parlophone R 5196). APerky little piano affair here, withsome rather off beat sounds fromthe keyboard. A good Ken Thornebacking which brings Pepe's excel-lent playing out into the open.

NIX -NOMADS: You're Nobody TillSomebody Love You; She'll BeSweeter Than You (HMV POP 1354).Ray Charles styled item here, withan off -beat bluesy kind of vocalwell supported by an insistant beat.A kind of controlled wildness runsthrough the whole affair. This maybe too way-out to make the topfifty -but if it catches the imagina-tion it could easily be a big hit.It deserves to be.

ROD STEWART: Good MorningSchoolgirl; I'm Gonna Move To TheOutskirts Of Town (Decca F 11996).A jerky version of the old Wash-board Sam number, with some in-teresting guitar work, and a goodpiano break. Rod sings softly, and amore natural voice than most whiteblues singers. Could be a surprisehit.

THE ART WOODS: Sweet Mary;If I Ever Get My Hands On You(Decca F 12015). The old Leadbellynumber and an insistant versionby this group. Gets a bit strongafter a while though -organ dom-inated, and plenty of heavy per-cussion. Vocal is hoarse.BEAT SIX: Bernadine: The Riverand I (Decca F 12011). A multi -tracked item, slow almost weepieballad with throbbing guitar run-ning all the way through. Interest-ing fast drum work and a climaxhalf -way along. A grow -on -you tune-ful click this.DEE CLARK: Heartbreak; WarmSummer Breezes (Stateside SS 355).Big band effort with hand -clappinghere from the vet hitmaker. Hishigh bluesy voice fits the song wellbut there's little tune to carry itall along.

KITTY WELLS: I Gave My Wed-ding Dress Away; I've Thought OfLeavin' Too (Brunswick 05920). Bigcountry star Kitty and a drab sadsong, that's bound to go down wellin Ireland. She sounds very muchlike Ruby Murray, except the back-ing is more subdued here. Sadpoignant song of course.LOUISIANA RED: I Done WokeUp; I Had A Feeling (Sue WI 337).Long harmonica intro on this bluesitem. It's a conventional bit of wax-ing with a powerful beat and back-ing, but not for any pop fan. Maybea bit too ordinary for strong sales.SHELLEY: I Will Be Wishing;Why Won't You Say (Pye 7N15711). A good beat ballad here -t moves along well with a tinklysound dominating the backing.Drums help the whole affair alongprominently. Vocal is good andthe song is quite commercial.

Unwanted date ledto disc contract

THEfirst British artistes signed by the major American "Liberty" label . . . the

Stylos, a fivesome from Manchester where they've rampaged the clubs with theirearthy, all -action R and B stylings. First release features two of their owncompositions, "Head Over Heels" and "Bye Bye Baby, Bye Bye" . . . with the topside sizzling through a vocal onslaught from Graeme Rennie. It started, for the boys,with a date they didn't want to play, in Oldham at a very low fee. But singer -writerBrad Newman was there, having the quiet tot. He shouted aloud to Dick Jamesabout the group . . . and Dick, Beatle song -publisher, signed them. Line-up of thegroup: Roy Lowe, leader and bass; brother John Lowe, drums; another brother, TonyLowe, rhythm; Jon Yeudall, lead guitar; Graeme Rennie, lead singer and harmonica.Their tastes in music range through Dionne Warwick, Jimmy Reed, Fats Domino,Graham Bond, Mick Jagger, Chuck Berry . . . and Millicent Martin. And theirambition is to tour America.

HE'S NO SINGERN° - he's not exactly a

singer! But new -faceddisc -jockeys qualify for aspace on this page, and DonWardell is currently verymuch talked -about in thisfield. He's 24, comes fromBirmingham, is managed byEric Easton. Don beganbroadcasting at the age of 13,served with the RAF, was aForces dee-jay, moved on asassistant entertainmentsofficer (compering shows),

went to Radio Luxembourg,then returned home to free-lance. Now hosts "SaturdaySwings" on the Light, hasthree Luxembourg shows,with another on the way, hasa fan -club . . . and soonopens the first disc -jockeyrecord shop in London's WestEnd. He's played thousandsof discs, still prefers those byElla Fitzgerald and MarkMurphy - though is essen-tially with -it on teen tastes.

MEW FACES

The feeling's there"A WHITE person can sing the blues with just as

much conviction as a Negro. All these colouredsingers singing about 'Walking Down The RailroadTrack' . . . they've never walked down a railroad trackin their lives. Nor have I. You've got more to sing theblues about in the Archway Road, near my home, thanon any railroad track I know! The speaker: Rod Stewart,resident of the Archway Road, London-and maker of"Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" on Decca. Talentedsoccer player, highly -skilled blues singer. Has workedwith Jimmy Powell and the Five Dimensions, then LongJohn Baldry (as second singer)). Has played and workedwith Memphis Slim. Has lived in a beatnik community ona derelict houseboat at Shoreham. Says, outspokenly:"Most of the third and fourth rate R and B bands aregiving the music a bad name. I think most of themwould be better off at home listening to Bill Broonzy."Plays guitar and has busked around France and Spainwith folk singer Wiz Jones. Was arrested there forvagrancy and sent home. A colourful six-footer, Rod'sambition is to sing with the Count Basie Band.

Learn your

trade first

" EARN your trade-then try toLA trade in on it"-that seems

to be the philosophy of good -looker Ray Merrell. He's got thathit -sounding approach to his"Where In The World", anemotional ballad on the Pye label

. . but that approach came onlyafter a long spell with big bandslike Joe Loss, Eric Winstone (hereplaced the best-selling MichaelHolliday), then Cyril Stapleton. Hehas broadcast hundreds of times,televised in several series. In be-tween times, he writes songs withhis mate, trumpeter - arrangerJohnny Harris. Ray's experienceand maturity fair shines throughon "Where In The World". Shinesthrough . . . because those in-gredients aren't always availablein the pop industry.

Heinz's hat, some

surfing, & the sharks!THE factthat Heinz has just visited Australia stuck out the proverbial mile when I met

1- him last week, after an exhausting two week tour of the down -under continent. WhenI saw Heinz he was proudly wearing a white straw hat that he had picked up somewherealong the dusty outback.

Certainly the hat wasattracting enough looks-and as many compliments.But the white straw Sina-tra -styled headpiece wasn'tall in the way of clothesthat Heinz bought.

"I almost filled a suitcasewith some of the Aussieshirts," he said, "and insome cases I could havedone a straight swap withmy British shirts.

PARROTS"I wanted to go surfing

too. But there just wasn'tenough time. But we didsee truck loads of surfersgoing down to the beaches,with their surf -boards. Thesport is as popular in Aus-tralia as it is in the States.But you can't surf on allthe beaches. I saw a 'SharkWarning' sign at Brisbane!

"Another thing thatamazed me about Australiawas all the parrots flyingabout - and the orangeswhich can be just pickedoff trees."

Although he's only beenback a few days Heinz hasalready started anothertour. This time with theDixie Cups, The Hollies, JessConrad and The Tornados.I asked Heinz whether ornot he had ever regrettedleaving the Tornados.

by NORMAN JOPLING"Yes and No. Yes, be-

cause the burden of deci-sion is harder now, andbecause the Tornados weresuch a great bunch of guys.And no, because I'm nowdoing what I always wantedto do . .

Now, Heinz is back toplug his new disc, alreadyin the top fifty. It's called"Questions I Can't Answer"and in my opinion is oneof the best British beatdiscs in the charts. But asalways Heinz is workingalmost unceasingly. Whenhis first disc and first tourflopped, Heinz spent monthsperfecting an act. His nextdisc "Just Like Eddie," andhis next tour rocketed himto the top.

When he does relaxHeinz likes to take timeout fishing or playing golf.During his last summerseason at Rhyl, Heinzlessened his handicap con-siderably.

Although they're prettymuch in the background,Heinz's group - the WildBoys - deserve a lot ofcredit. In fact Heinz hassold his Chevrolet andbought a new Zephyrestate, with back seats thatfold into beds, just so that

And travelling around theywill certainly be doing, withdates on their next tour asfar apart as Watford andHuddersfield. But althoughHeinz has toured with manyartistes there's one he re-members with sadness.

SHOCK

"We had a concert datewith the late Johnny Bur-nette once. After the showJohnny took the boys andmyself to a big restaurant,and bought us all a hugemeal. And he didn't evenknow us before that night!It was a terrible shock tome, and everyone when weheard how tragically he hadbeen killed . . ."

Anyway, now that Heinzis back on our shores let'shope that he and managerJoe Meek continue to makehit discs with an originalsound in an era dominatedby beat groups.
