GREATNEW LPFROM
STONESIT'S out this week! - The long-awaited first L.P.by the Rolling
Stones. No title on the sleeve, just a collection of twelve R & B -stylenumbers, in typical Stones' tradition. And a racing certainty for thebest-selling lists-it could even push the Beatles off the top.
Odd people turned up for the vari-ous sessions . . . the Stones haveworked oil this album for at leastthree months. You can hear theirroad manager, Ian Stewart, on pianoon some tracks; Gene Pitney is at thekeyboard on others; and recording"genius" Phil Spector turns up onsome others on maraccas. The Spec-tor influence is, there on some of thesound -tracks.
MICK JAGGERand BRIAN JONES
MOST POPULARHere's an item -by -item breakdown
on the disc. "Route 66," the old stan-dard, gets a fast, exciting treatment,obviously inspired by Chuck Berry'sversion. One of the most popularnumbers in the Stones' stage act.
"I Just Wanna Make Love To You"was written by Willie Dixon andturned into a hit by Muddy Watersseveral years ago. But the Stoneschange the tempo and give it anindividual sound. Plenty of har-monica. On to "Honest I Do," slowand Bluesy, with a compulsive dance -
THE SWINGING BLUE JEANS are currently doing fantastic business all over theworld. Their "Hippy Hippy Shake" is high in the U.S. charts, while they have been
invited to tour Russia.
beat. This is an old Jimmy Reednumber, whose material the Stonesperform very competently.
"I Need You Baby" - otherwise"Mona" - has a heavy Bo Diddleybeat running through it, and issimilar to the Stones' "Not FadeAway." A throbbing, exciting numberwhich contrasts well with the nexttrack - "Now I've Got a Witness."This is an instrumental answer discto "Can I Get a Witness," and theboys' pay label credit to "Uncle" Philand "Uncle" Gene. Ian Stewart playsorgan on this one.
Side One closer is "Little by Little,"the flip on "Not Fade Away." Rathera surprising move, we think, to in-clude thi 3 Jimmy Reed -flavouredoriginal. Guitar and Harmonica anda subtle Mick Jagger vocal.
Then comes "I'm a King Bee," theold Slim Harpo song. This is anatmospheric piece, with some prettysuggestive lyrics-clever ones, too.Next track is probably the best fasttrack on the L.P. It's "Carol," the
Chuck Berry composition, and it's adriving, pounding and extremelywell -performed number with plentyof tune and excellent guitar work.Mick is on top vocal form on thisone.
PLAINTIVE TUNE"Tell Me" was written by Mick and
Keith Richard and is a slowish, plain-tive melody which is rather reminis-cent of several Buddy Holly tunes.The longest number on the L.P., ithas plenty of blues flavour and isprobably the best of the slow tracks.
Then: "Can I Get a Witness," theMarvin Gaye R and B standard. Greatset of lyrics and once more a fan-tastic beat is set up. There's some-thing compulsive about the Stones'version of this song and it wouldprobably have made a good singlefor them.
Gene Allison's "You Can Make ItIf You Try" is a slow, almost tortuousnumber that is in complete contrast
to the rest of the set. Nevertheless,the blues come through strongly.And this may be rrfore popular thanseveral of the more beaty tracks.
"Walking the Dog" is the lasttrack. This Rufus Thomas numberwas mimed to by the boys at the"Mods' Ball" at the Empire Pool,Wembley, where on Wednesday lastweek they received fantastic acclaim.Afterwards, they said: "We were veryfrightened. But it was great." So isthis curtain -closer on their album!
There it is, then. A debut L.P. ofguaranteed appeal. And the greatthing is that the Stones themselves,normally very critical of their ownwork, are very pleased with theresult. A final word of praise toAndrew Loog Oldham, who recordedthe sessions - he's living up to his"boast" that he'd be the top indepen-dent recording manager in Britainby November this year!

WHY NOT RELEASE :THE ELVIS ORIGINALS?
N the States, Terry Stafford has hit the top ten withI "Suspicion". In Britain, there is a version by MillicentMartin. She said she recorded it because she liked the latesttrends and wanted to get in with it. But what people don'trealise is that these two versions are merely covers of theoriginal ELVIS "Suspicion", on his "Pet Luck" L.P. It wouldbe a good idea if RCA issued the original Elvis as the titletrack of an EP.-Russell Carey, 4 Whitelands Road, Ciren-cester, Gloucs. L.P. winner.
C & W CHANCE WILSON NEGLECTIWAS interested to read KarlDenver's view that C and W
music will happen here. Thebig beat cannot last for ever andwhen it is finally over I hope tosee such names as Hank Locklin,Marty Robbins, Ned Miller, JohnnyCash in the top spots. But surelyJim Reeves has the best chance.He has already established him-self over here with pop ballads.-Michael A'Bear. 163 MoorgateHill. ReHord, Notts.

DURING the current R and Bcraze, recognition of the sing-ing ability of Jackie wiison,
an all-time great in this type ofmusic, has been sorely neglected.For five years. he has topped theAmerican charts, earning himselfa string of Gold Discs. I thinkmany fans would enjoy his recordsif he was given proper publicity.-Michael McGimpsey, 21 Laurel -bank Avenue, Newtonwards, Co.Down.
R & B REASONWHY don't the real American
R and B artistes get in ourcharts? Reason is that Gar-
net Mimms, the Impressions andso on don't make it because inthe main American R and B con-sists of wailing females and slowdreary group vocals . . . forexample, Freddie Scott. ChuckBerry does get in the charts be-cause he sings a commercial formof R and B that enables recordbuyers to remember the tune ofthe song.-Derek Hilehings, TheBungalow, Green and Silley SportsGround, Blake Hall Road, Wan -stead, London, E.11.
PAT OUR BACKSREADERS suggest reasons why
R and B has caused renewedinterest. I feel all credit for
this should go to the RecordMirror. In April, 1963, the paperfeatured articles on Bo Diddley,Ben E. King, Cyril Davies andChuck Berry, and followed up withdiscographies of Chuck and Bo.Before any hit R and B singlesappeared in the charts, the RMcolumnists stuck out their necks
. and said "The odds couldeven be that Chuck becomes morepopular in Britain than he everwas." Row right they were! Andthe RM has always been first togive articles on unknown artists,especially in the R and B field.-John M. Wilson. 69 Leslie Street,Glasgow, S.I.

BRITONS ABROAD
11!STORY was made, recently,in the Record Mirror charts.There were eleven American
records in the British Top Fifty;but in the American Top Fiftythere were TWELVE. The firsttime such a situation has arisen.Yet eight of the British recordswere by the same group, one wasby a stranger to the hit paradeand one by a group with shakytalent. Why have such talentedartistes as Gerry and the Pace-makers, Freddie and the Dreamers,Billy J. Kramer, The Hollies, Roll-ing Stones, Kathy Kirby, Bachelorsetc., not been properly launchedin the States. When I say launched-I mean backed by the publicitythat the Beatles and Dave Clarkehave had?-R. C. Taylor, 38 May-field Road, Farmoor, near Oxford.
INSTRUMENTALS
NO instrumentals in the chartsrecently. The Shadows can'thold on much longer in the
charts. The only other non -vocalthis year in the ratings was "Songof Mexico", by Tony Meehan. Yetvery good discs have been re-leased: "Big Bad Bass", by JetHarris; the Tornados' "Hot .Pot ;
Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers on"If You Love Me"; and the best -yet h; Sounds Incorporated, "Thefipartans". I hope the situationchanges before the end of theyear.-J. Philbrick, 29 MontbelleRoad, New Eltham, London, S.E.9.
IMPUDENCELOCISE CORDET is .nothing if
not opportunist by recordingan original by Dionne War-
wick. As Cilia Black found to herPiofit, copying other people's discsis a very successful vice inBritain. But for Louise to coverMary Wells' "Two Lovers" on theflip adds, if it were possible, toher impudence.-David Godin, 139Church Road, Bexleyheath, Kent.

Telephones GERrard 7942/3/4 HOLLYDISCS?
WITH the release of "Brown -Eyed Handsome Man" lastyear, Buddy Holly discs have
been issued at regular intervals.But the question remains: justhow long can original Holly trackslast out? Over the years, varyingnumbers of unissued tracks havebeen given (according to NormanPetty and Mrs. Holley)-varyingfrom 41, 25, 32. and "very few".Can we have a definite answer?Perhaps Buddy's mother knowsthe true answer.-J. Craske, 17Park Road, Gosport, Hants.
LENNON LAUGHTHANKS for the article on John1 Lennon's book. But there was
one mistake. Kenneth Allsopasked John what made him laugh.He replied, among other things,".Nick -McCutt". actually said"Nicky Cuff", a person who doesexist. He used to be a friend ofJohn's at college and I believehe is now performing in Liverpoolclubs, using a brand of humourwhich John particularly appre-ciates.-Miss Barbara Hilll, Ventnor, 9 Blacklow Brow, Huyton,Liverpool.
CHUCK TRUTHI'M disgusted. In another record
paper, about a year ago, Iread: "Chuck Berry met
famous blues singer Muddy Waterswho encouraged him to visit theboss of Chess Records"-and onthe back of an EP of Chuck's hecredits Muddy with his recordingsuccess, too. Now, in RecordMirror, from Chuck's own mouthcome the words: "I came up toChicago in 1955 to get myself acontract and Chess signed mealmost immediately." Are the firstquotes I mqntioned just someone'sidea of earning money? Or is it thatnow Chuck is trying to get allthe credit-which he really doesn'tneed. - David Dormand, 50 Don-caster Gardens, Northoit, Middle-sex.

Mrs. Barber willspend the holiday at a countryfarm . . . with the trad Barbercrew on cruise are modern jazz-men Bill Le Sage and RonnieRoss. Obviously we can expectnew things from CB after thecruise!
Millie's first LP was pre-viewed on Ready Steady Go lastFriday, her first sleeper EP wasselling fast last week on the Islandlabel which is owned by hermanager Chris Blackwell...ManfredMann one of the happiest lookinggroups on the scene . . . Apologiesto Rolling Stones and Yardbirds,I printed a wrong quote last week.Yardbirds (the most blueswailing)actually said Stones, in theiropinion, no longer had a goodclub act.
* * *Jack Good's new pop TV series
in the autumn could start newtrends-his previous series "OhBoy" did with Lord Rockingham'sXI, Cherry Wainer, etc. . .
Unique double for singer/DJJimmy Young. He appeared onboth Juke Box Jury and ThankYour Lucky Stars at the same timelast Saturday and appeared to bewearing the same suit on bothchannels!
Is Hayley Mills putting onweight? . . according to BrianMatthew, Millicent Martin is anactor! . . . After reading lastweek's article on Georgie Fame,the Animals sent him this telegram:"Thanks a million for your mar-vellous quote RECORD MIRRORbut we still think YOU are theKing."
Ella Fitzgerald paid a uniquetribute to the Beatles and Peterand Gordon when she secretly re-corded "Can't Buy Me Love" inLondon recently. Orchestra wasarranged and conducted by JohnnySpence about whom Ella com-mented "I'm fabulously impressed."The single is rush released thisweek.

THE girl who smashed1 through the chart barrier
to become the first femalefor a long, long while tohit the number one spot(with her dramatic recordingof "Anyone Who Had AHeart") now becomes theRecord Mirror's first girl tobe featured in Off The Cuff.She made the followingresponses to people andthings suggested by DavidGriffiths:
TOFFEE AND CHOCO-LATE: Love chocolate, hatetoffee.
FRENCH RECORDINGSTARS: Haven't heard muchof them, but I admire PetulaClark if you count her!
MANCHESTER: I've gotan auntie living there. Ihear it's got some very goodclubs. Don't like the accent.
BRITISH CATERING: Allright, I suppose. In thetransport cafes we visit ontour I find the food is goodbut I don't like all thoseplastic knives and forks.
MODERN JAZZ: I likesome of it but don't under-stand it much. Miles Davisis fine but as for TheloniousMonk I can hardly say hisname never mind under-stand what he's playing!
JUDY GARLAND: T h egreatest.
COCKNEY HUMOUR :Fabulous! Joe Brown is veryfunny - and his mother isjust as amusing.
MOD CLOTHES: I likesome of them but don't agree
byDavid Griffiths
with boys being too pretty.Short hair for boys, longhair for girls-otherwise itgets confusing!
BLUE BEAT HATS: I'venever seen them but I likethe sound.
MR. KRUSCHEV: Ha, Ha!I always picture him sittingbehind his desk and banginghis shoe -on it.
SHORTHAND ANDTYPING: I absolutely hateshorthand but I love typing.
SPORTS CARS: They'regreat but I don't go forspeed.
CHAMPAGNE: Oh, oh Ilove it, honestly. I don't gofor the first glass but afterI've had one it gets betterand better.
WOLVES: They make meill.
RAY CHARLES: He is thegreatest.
MEN WHO WEAR RINGS:I think men should onlywear rings when they aremarried.
JAPAN: They are supposedto be gentle people and allthat but I don't think I'denjoy being a Japanesewoman. I wouldn't bowdown to any man.
BACH: I like that recordby the Swingle Singers butdon't care much for straightBach. I daresay it was allright in its day, though!

ROY ORBISON ANDH IS NEW DISC(SENSATIONAL American singer Roy Orbison really was
"Borne on the wind"-A jet plane from Nashville,Tenne7see-and I was lucky enough to be the firstjournalist to talk to this quality -performing star.
First he enthused about his new single, "It's Over," beingrush -released in Britain. He wrote it: "It's based on anotherpersonal experience of mine . " It is a sad ballad of alove affair that has ended.
Apparently there is adelay on getting tapes of thesong from the States, but itshould hit the stores in aweek or so. Incidentally, thisis the reason why Roy'sChristmas song, "PrettyPaper," was never releasedhere. He cut it at the Decca
studios during his last visit,but an ensuing mix-up overtapes meant British fansmissing out on a great song.
Roy's British tour opensat Slough on Saturday. Anysurprises being planned?

come to hear the songs thathave made me popular. I'veoften been disappointed onAmerican television when arecord artist gets on a showand sings something younormally never hear. Songsthat they don't intend torelease . someone else'ssongs.
LOVE 'EM ALL"I believe that when
people come to see me -which they have done fan-tastically and I love 'em all;I feel like I'm home again!-they do want the hit songs.So I'll do the old ones, plus`Borne On The Wind' and`It's Over.' New fast additionmight be 'What'd I Say' . . .
my version of it."I do a little different
thing on that song." Actually,it is a very effective changeof tempo mid -way.
The Federals will be back-ing Roy, along with threeviolins and a trio of girls sothat the actual sound of therecords can be reproduced.
Said Roy: "You'd betterwarn Ringo Starr to watchout. The architect whodesigned my house has ateenage daughter, who'ssaving her pennies to cometo England to see theBeatles. She asked me toget one of Ringo's drum-
sticks-and I said I'd try asI know Ringo pretty well."
Roy is a great singer. Butvisually he shatters the imageof what a pop star shouldlook like. Some people sayhe is the most UN -pop -look-ing singer in the business.I asked him about this. Hesaid:
"Some artists want youto see them rather thanhear them or enjoy theirtalent. I try not to besomeone for you to seealthough you actually cometo see AND hear.
"A lot of singers come onstage and that's all there is.Just something to look at.This makes for a goodshow and dull listening. SoI try to combine both andnot be a sort of idol. I'm inthe business to sing andexpress myself so if peoplecome to listen I try to singwhat they want to hear . . .
rather than look the waythey'd want me to look.
TRADEMARK"It doesn't really matter
to me if people come to seeme as such-as long as theycome to hear me, talk to meand get in the spirit ofthings."
I asked him about hisglasses - an Orbison trade-mark.
Said Roy: "People who are
ROY ORBISON with BRIAN POOLE. This shot wastaken during Roy's last tour of Britain last year inwhich he travelled with Brian, Freddy, etc. (RM Pic
Bill Williams).
close to me, like mums anddads and my kin -folks, thinkI probably look better withglasses, but I think they areused to me wearing them.
"I will probably notattempt to wear glasses onstage all the time this tour.Last time,,_ some peoplewanted to see me withoutthem. As far as lookingbetter . . . that's not the idea
at all. It's just a change. Ido wear contact lensessometimes, so if people arethat interested I'll try it thistime on a few shows."
As Roy says, first andforemost he wants peopleto come and hear him sing.And I'm sure the fans areonly too eager to oblige.Like I said: "He's a `quality'peformer."

ABLE BUBBLE ON THERECORD MIRROR SPECIAL ON THE MANFREDS
AND ALL ABOUT THEIR CONFUSED SONG TITLE
ONCE again Manfred Mann have made what seems likean error. And once again a mistake may turn into a
big success.It happened on the Ml during a discussion in the band
van about finding a good -sounding title for Manfred Mann'sfollow-up to "5 4 3 2 1". Drummer Miko Hugg suddenlycame up with "Hubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble". It had afamiliar, Shakespearian ring about it. Everyone agreedthat Manfred Mann 1 (that's crummer Mike) had hit on apotential hit title. "Great!" said every Manfred Mann-including the one who is actually Manfred Mann.
But, as you might expectfrom a group that includesa man called Manfred Mann(who is not the leader) andfour others who are alsoreferred to individually andcollectively as Manf re dMann, they had got thingsa trifle confused: it is"Double, Double, Toil andTrouble" that the witches inMacbeth say when brewingup trouble.
All the same, the insertionof "Hubble Bubble" (whichis in fact a type of smokingpipe) has added a certainsomething-a weird kind ofmemorability.
IMPACT"It was quite unintention-
al," confessed Manfred (theManfred, piano player in thegroup). "We just got itwrong but it seems -to haveturned out well. like our ori-ginal decision to call all fiveof us Manfred Mann, Sure,it's silly, people get muddledover it, but since the grouphas made a success of it, Idon't think it matters. Thename has got impact andwhen people are really in-terested in the group theysoon sort out who's who. Butif it makes things easier foranybody to call us the Man-
* freds, then they are wel-come. We don't care."
RHYTHMIC
"Hubble Bubble" is agroup effort for which eachManfred can take credit.Paul Jones (vocals and har-monica) took up the story:"Three days later, drivingalong the M5 this time, TomMcGuinness - bass guitar -showed us a tune and wordshe had written. But theydidn't fit too closely to our

'Hubble Bubble' idea so westarted adapting it. I addedsome lyrics, Mike Vickers -saxophone - contributed arhythmic idea and Manfred
adapted the melody."Although their new effort
is nothing like as memorablysimple as "5 4 3 2 1", MikeHugg (in particular) is moreconfident about its poten-tialities than anything elsethey've done. Already, theyknow it is bound to collectgood sales because it hasbeen chosen to replace theirown "5 4 3 2 1" as thesignature tune of ReadySteady, Go - not becauseprogramme editor FrancisHitching has any leaningtowards the group. "It's justthat their disc is the mostlikely hit we've heard," hesaid.
One reason why the Man-freds are doing so well maybe the wide variety ofsounds the boys are interes-ted in. Roughly speaking,
three of them (Manfred andthe two Mikes) came intopop music via an interest inmodern jazz, and two (Pauland Tom) via an interest inprimitive blues. Both "sides"have respect for the others'preferred music and haveenlarged their enjoyment ofmusic as a result of contactwith each other. Their in-fluences have combined toadd up to a distinctive,commercial sound-as theirforthcoming LP will show.For, as in their personalappearances, the album willinclude such numbers asCannonball Adderley's "Sack0' Woe" and John LeeHooker's "Dimples" - anunusual (though far fromincompatible) mixture that'sproving very popular withan increasing proportion ofthe populace.

e DIONNE WARWICKwho had a mild hithere with her originalversion of "Anyone
Who Had A Heart".
GREAT UNKNOWNS FIRST IN THE THIRD OF THIS POPULAR SERIES
WHENI was browsing
around a record shopsome months back, anothercustomer was intent on buy-ing a copy of "Anyone WhoHad A Heart." Being morediscriminating than most heasked to hear "the one byDonna Warwick as well."
He bought the DionneWarwick version, butwhether or not it was be-cause he liked it more thanCilia Black's cover version,or just that his girl frienddidn't like Cilia Black I shallnever know. However, Ihope he liked Dionne's, andI hope he also rushes outand buys "Walk On By,"but this isn't as likely seeingthat no one has botheredto cover it yet.
BLUESDionne Warwick is a
coloured female vocalist inher early twenties who inthe States is second only toMary Wells in blues popu-larity. She has great talentand records in the Statesfor Scepter records whohave had several outlets in
DIONNE WARWICKBritain - namely Top Rank,HMV, Stateside and finallyPye International. Dionne'sfirst two discs were onStateside, and her last threeon Pye.
Dionne herself was bornin the little town of EastOrange in Connecticut andshe attended the HartfordSchool of music, When sheleft college she formed herown singing group andaccompanied such artistes as;he Shirelles and manyothers. It was through theShirelles that she came tobe offered a contract withScepter records, and herfirst offering for them wasthe fantastic "Don't Make MeOver."

delicate opus called "ThisEmpty Place." Again it wasa delicate ballad with loadsof appeal, and again it madethe U.S. charts, but only atthe lower end this time. The

"Anyone Who Had AHeart" came next, and itshot to the top ten in theStates, repeating the successof "Don't Make Me Over."In Britain all honours wentto Cilia Black who wasbrought back the song torecord by manager BrianEpstein. This astute movecompletely established Ciliain this country-but Dionneonly made about numberforty here, which neverthe-less might prove to be the
thin end of the wedge. Inci-dentally, Louis Cordet hasjust recorded "Don't MakeMe Over!"
Her new disc "Walk OnBy" is another grow -on -youballad and by the immensepublicity it has had, it rat'well be her first big hithere: And she deserves itfor sure, after all the pleas-ure she has given me, andeveryone else who just aboutgoes mad about Miss DionneWarwick.

Pennies Success Through Debt!
PAT WAWITH THE BEACHCOMBERS
EJOHNNYDB 7262COLUMBIARECORDS
E.M.I. RECORDS LTD., E.M.I. HOUSE, 20 MANCHESTER SQUARE, LONDON, W.1
ONE of the most unusual records to get in the charts forsome time is a little ditty entitled "Juliet" by a group of
lads from Blackburn who call themselves The Four Pennies.Unusual because, unlike the majority of the beat groupscurrently making the charts, it is an original song and anout -of -the -rut treatment. These two things could well bethe factors which have led to unexpected success in ourcharts, at a time when ballads are at their least popular ebb.
Actually had it not beenfor a huge debt of £2,000,the Four Pennies may neverhave been formed! Abouttwo years ago they used tomeet at a music shop inBlackburn, where togetherthey had run up this pheno-menal debt on musical equip-ment. However, the owner ofthe shop, Miss Reidy, had agreat deal of confidence inthe boys' talent, and per-suaded them to turn profes-sional in order to re -pay herthe money. The shop hap-pened to he in Penny Street,Blackburn, so they took thename and formed The FourPennies. At the shop theyspent hours practising andperfecting the sort of soundthey were aiming at, with thecontinual encouragement ofMiss Reidy.
BALLADSLead vocalist and spokes-
man for the group is LionelMorton, who also playsrhythm guitar. Other mem-bers are Mike Wilsh, bassguitar and vocals, FritzFryer, lead guitarist a n dvocals, and Alan Buck, drums.Lionel told me "the sort ofthing we like doing is bal-lads, with a leaning towardsfolk music. Actually 'Tell MeGirl' was supposed to be the'A' side of our disc, but'Juliet' came out so well at
THE FOUR PEN-NIES who had a hita short while backwith "Do You WantMe To", and who arenow scoring with
"Juliet".
the recording session that wedecided to take a gamble andmake it the 'A' side. We'rereally pleased that it seems
to have paid off." I askedLionel his preference inmusic. "I like pop musicgenerally. I've just heardDusty Springfield's newLP, and it's very good. Iwouldn't say, though, thatthere has been any particu-
lar influence on our ownsound, we do in fact try tobe entirely original."
CONFIDENCE
The group of coursereached the top thirty withtheir first disc "Do You WantMe To," although this failedto really establish them with

the record buyers. The situa-tion looks certain to be rem-edied however by "Juliet,"which definitely confirmsMiss Reidy's early confidencein their ability. As Lioneltold me, "we really owE oursuccess to Miss Reidy andour manager, Alan Lewis,who have both encouragedus since our early days inPenny Street."

MICKEY FINN AND THE BLUE MEN seen in the East End Streets.
SOME groups get dozensof big hits, but never
manage to put an image, orat least an atmosphericimage over to the public.But now, one group, withoutany hits to their credit havemanaged to put over a greatnew image-namely the EastEnd mod image.
They are Mickey Finn andthe Blue Men, the first all -white blue beat group inthe country who were play-ing blue beat music longbefore anybody thought ofcommercialising it. The teamstarted about eighteenmonths ago and have builtup for themselves a con-siderable reputation inLondon.
MODSThey come from Mile End
and are very very popularwith the Mods around thatarea-mainly because theseboys are probably the onlyMod group on the stage -well a couple of them atleast.
Their new disc is an oldBo Diddley number entitled"Pills," subtitled "Love'sLabours Lost" for noapparent reason. And it'sgiven a heavy blue beat
backing, and raucus vocalfrom the guys. They used torecord for Ziggy Jackson'sBlue Beat label where theyhad a very big seller withtheir version of the old EliasAnd The Zig Zag Jive Flutesnumber "Tom Hark." Exceptthat they called their one"Tom Hark Goes Blue Beat."
Lead singer is AlanAnthony, an immaculatelydressed individual whomanages to sing the mostearthy vocals imaginable -as can be heard on the flipof "Torn Hark Goes BlueBeat", and also on bothsides of the new Oriole re-lease. Other members of theteam are John Cooke, organ,John Burkett, bass guitar,and Richard Brand ondrums. Mickey Finn himselfplays lead guitar.
What with the originalityof the boys and theirmaterial, and the fact thatthey were the first in theirfield there's all likelihoodthat they can make it big inno time.
The boys have been highlypraised by Prince Buster,self-styled founder of theblue beat sound s, whoreckons the lads are justgreat.
He's right.

THE STORYOF PETER'S
FACESWHAT an odd name for a
group! Peter's faces, no less.The Peter concerned is Peter
Nelson, singer and bass guitarist.And the "Faces" bit originatedwhen the recording manager RayHorricks heard other groups usingthe word 'faces' about otherPeople when they didn't reallyknow their names.
YOUTH CLUBSNow the group have made their
debut for Pye Piccadilly-two self -written pieces "Why Did YouBring Him To The Dance", whichI reckon is darned good, and"She's In Love".
Story behind Peter's Facesstarts some seven years ago, inthe Skiffle Era. Peter Nelson anddrummer Peter Coleman frontedPeter and the Travellers. Theydid mostly dance -hall gigs andyouth clubs in Middlesex.
As musical styles changed, sodid the group personnel. Leadguitarist John Macdonald joinedthe group; then Tony Hall camein as rhythm guitarist and saxo-phonist. Incidentally, are thereany contenders for Tony's claimto be the tallest group memberin the recording business? He'ssix feet five inches!
Eighteen months ago, the boysturned professional. They one-nighted it up and down thecountry and also did a month inGermany at the famed Star Clubof Hamburg.
A demo disc to Ray Horricksclinched the recording side - hejust re -arranged the song whichhas become their top side.
A brief breakdown of the ladsconcerned: Peter Nelson is 21.shares a liking for modern jazzwith the rest of the boys. Mainhobby: composing songs. Likescasual clothes and eating Chinesegrub.
Peter Coleman, also 21, goes formod clothes. Was once a lift en-gineer; now rates driving fastcars as his hobby. John Mac-Donald is 22, the oldest "Face".Joined the group straight fromschool. Can't stand the "modcult", though he's matey withPeter Coleman.
TRAVELLINGAnd Tony Hall, only 20 but con-
vinced he has finally stoppedgrowing, is keen on travelling.Which is something he'll getplenty of, ere long.
Group ambition: to get a discto top spot in the charts. Thesefour "Faces" positively eruptwith smiles at the thought ofTHAT!
PETER of PETER'S FACES
SNOB APPEALpHE SNOBS-probably the
L the world's most expen-sively dressed group-havealready attracted big atten-tion in U.S A. (even thoughtheir first Decca releasehere, "Buckle Shoe Stomp"has not caused a panic inthe disc shops).
On April 25 the Snobs headfor California where theywill spend five days workingon a spot in one ofAmerica's top TV pro-grammes, The Red SkeltonShow.

The National ChartAFTER a week's release, the Searchers leap into the charts
at number 20 with their "Don't Throw Your Love Away".pursued hotly by other hot discs like "Hubble Bubble Toil
& Trouble", and "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying", TheAnimals too look like making their mark on the scelne with theirinfectious "Baby Let Me Take You Home". Up top it seems thatPeter & Gordon may overtake the Beatles, either next week or theweek after, owing to the enormous numbers of Beatles discs beingsold so quickly, instead of over a longer period, thus enablingthem to top the chart longer. Not much else on the way up butwatch out for "My Boy Lollipop".
The Merseybeats make it three in a row with the1r gentle "Don'tTurn Around", while two more favourites come in at the lowerends of the lists. They are Kenny Lynch's "Stand By Me", whoseems to be gaining in sales of the Ben E. King song over theCassius Clay version. And Peter, Paul & Mary ease in with theirspiritual -type ditty "Tell It On The Mountain".
Dionne Warwick makes it with her lovely "Walk On By"-there's a feature on her on page seven in this issue.

QUESTIONTIME FOR
CLIFF!F. must be about the most pleasant person in the top -bracket of show business. After five years at the summit,
he still collects endless applause and ear -ripping -screams atevery performance. As he proved when I met him backstageat Luton recently . .
The "he", of course, is Cliff Richard. He'd just finished aforty -minute act, ranging from "Moon River" to "What'd ISay"-and the audience -reaction was still ringing in our ears.
Cliff was half -way throughhis three - week, nation - widetour, was none the worsefor his exertions . . . andanswered my questions veryenthusiastically.
Like "How will pop musicdevelop?"
Cliff: "Who really can tell?But I do sincerely think ithas taken a turn for thebetter over the last year orso. Standards are improving."
Like "What sort of songs doyou most enjoy performing?"
FAVOURITESCliff: "Personally, I enjoy
most types. My favouriteartistes include Lena Horne,Ray Charles, Elvis Presley ...so that should give you someidea of my sort of music.But I have to sing to pleasean audience. For instance, ittook me five discs to get aNumber One - `Livin'Doll,' a ballad. So now I
heavily feature ballads. Mynext release is 'Constantly,'another ballad. I really dolike this one."
I asked: "Are you at allperturbed by the comparativefailure of 'I'm The LonelyOne'?"
Cliff: "Not a bit. Not a bit.""Ever have any sort of im-
pression that you're becom-ing a 'has been'? It's some-times suggested . . ."
Cliff: "If you are going bythe success of my recentdiscs, then I HAVE had it!I'm on the way down. But
by DAVEBARRY
on the other hand just takea look at tonight's audience. . . the place was packed."
The point was clear: I tookit. And asked some more.
"Do you mind all thescreaming from audiences?"
Cliff: "Not really. At leastthey scream in the rightplaces - you know, the up -tempo numbers. And they arequiet when I want them tobe."
I agreed.. I made the com-ment that the audience nowcame largely to see Cliff asan entertainer and not as asex idol . . . as many oftoday's performers are con-sidered.
MATUREDCliff: "When I first en-
tered the business some sixyears ago, I suppose I wasregarded as a sex idol. Butnow I feel I have matured.So has my audience."
Future plans?Cliff: "Later this year, I've
got a tour of Australia com-ing off and there's a pos-sibility of a London Palla-dium performance in May."
How would Cliff like bestto spend the rest of hiscareer?
Cliff: "We -e -ell. I supposethat I'd like to do a filmonce a year and a British
CLIFF with his co-starSUSAN HAMPSHIRE in ashot from "Wonderful Life".
tour every 12 months. Therest of the time, I'd like touse to establish myself asan international performer."
'S funny, you know. Ithought he'd already doneprecisely that.
