IN THE FINER GROOVE

This Month's Review of Long Playing Records

THE festive season has

brought with it a wide range

of Long Playing records on the

labels of HMV, COLUMBIA and

PARLOPHONE. Whatever your

taste — there's something for

everyone in the latest lists. You

will find a complete reference

guide on pages 6 and 7 for the

December and January issues,

but meanwhile let me highlight

a few of our great new LP's for

your special attention.

One of the big HMV events

right now is the issue by ELLA

FITZGERALD and LOUIS ARM-STRONG on two great LP

records—" ELLA AND LOUIS

AGAIN " No. 1 and No. 2

(CLP1146/7). The first issue

by this famous partnership some

12 months ago (" ELLA AND

L O U I S" CLP1098) really

caused a stir, and this newest

bumper offering can only do

likewise. The titles are dealt

with in greater detail on page 8

of this copy of " Record Mail."

Musical shows such as "NEW

MOON " and " ROSE MARIE "

will always survive the test of

time, and a new recording this

month of the songs and music

from these productions (on

HMV CLP1148), can only help

them further along through the

coming years. Each side of

this sparkling, delightful LP is

devoted to a complete produc-tion. ELIZABETH L A R N E R,

ANDY COLE, THE RITA WIL-LIAMS SINGERS and TONY

OSBORNE and his Orchestra

combine forces to whisk one

through happy memories of

"SOFTLY AS IN A MORNING

SUNRISE," "WANTING YOU,"

"LOVER COME BACK TO ME,"

" ROSE MARIE," " INDIAN

LOVE CALL " and a host of

other wonderful songs. A com-plete contrast is found on "MR.

BANJO" a happy swinging LP

by fretted instrument exponent

—FREDDY MORGAN. On CLP

1142, Freddy storms his way

through 15 " oldies " which in-clude "CHINATOWN MY

CHINATOWN," " SOMEBODY

STOLE MY GAL," "SWEET

1

PEARL BAILEY

SUE " and many other numbers

which one associates with this

instrument. But let's not forget

his interpretations of "PICKIN'

MELODY IN F," and " LIBES-STRUM " — these are quite

unique. For the big bond en-thusiost there is "THE FABU-LOUS JIMMY DORSEY " CLP

1132) and CHARLIE BARNET

and his Orchestra with "JIVE,

JIVE, JIVE" on CLP1 143).

These two superb discs are

Parlophone's Exciting

"Six-five Special" LP

FOLLOWING the tremendous success of the BBC TV

Series " SIX-FIVE SPECIAL," PARLOPHONE have

recently issued an LP of the same title based on this

popular show. This 12-inch recording was made wan

many of the original artists who have appeared on the

programme, and to ensure the perfect amosphere and

authenticity — Parlophone's " Six-Five Special „

was

recorded in our Abbey Road Studios with an excited

audience of 100 teenagers.

To say that the scene in our studio was unlike an%-thing else we have ever witnessed, is a complete under-statement. The boys and girls were told to ignore red

lights, microphones and technicians. and "really have a

ball." As each artist swung into their particular numbers,

so the remaining spaces of the studio were filled with

jiving, swirling, happy youngsters enjoying every minute

of this unique Sunday evening. They cheered, they

danced, they clapped, and urged on the singers and

musicians to a frantic tempo. The musicians on the

session, mostly shirt sleeved, played as they had never

played before. The whole excitement of the evening was

infectious. and quite unlike the formality of a usual

recording session. Every note they blew was throughly

appreciated by their audience.

The reaction captured on this disc is tremendous, and

the tempo seldom lets up for a moment from the begin-ning to the end of this great Parlophone LP.

Seldom have so many top line artists been featured !;

on one recording, and contained on this record are tracks Z114 by JOHN BARRY .AND THE SEVEN. JIM DALE,

THE KING BROTHERS. JIMMY JACKSON, DON a

LANG, LAURIE LONDON and TERRY WAYNE. As 0

AND ON EXTENDED PLAY

LOOKING at ti:e EP lists— there's music and song In

abundance, and no matter what

your taste, there is something

listed this month for your par-ticular pleasure.

The HMV list is particularly

varied, and a first glance reveals

the ageless ARTHUR ASKEY,

and the charming DELIA

MURPHY, Arthur can be heard

with four of his famous non-sense songs (including "THE

BEE SONG"► in "HELLO PLAY-MATES" (7EG8294); whilst

DELIA MURPHY recalls "THE

SPINNING WHEEL" and " IF

I WERE A BLACKBIRD,"

amongst others, in that fascin-ating voice of hers on " THE

DELIGHTFUL DELIA" (7EG

8295). Time has never lessened

the popularity of that famous

recording by MASTER ERNEST

LOUGH of "HEAR MY

PRAYER" and "I KNOW THAT

MY REDEEMER LIVETH," and

it is with unreserved delight that

I welcome the re-issue on EP.

This can be found on 7EG8293.

Another welcome issue is the

vocal gems from "THE MAID

OF THE MOUNTAINS " and

"LILAC TIME," with the

LIGHT OPERA COMPANY and

Orchestra. If musical comedy

is your wish, ask for 7EG8292.

Still on HMV, and in lighter

vein--how about the one and

only GRACIE FIELDS? "OUR

GRACIE SINGS COMEDY

SONGS" is the title, so you con

guess wrat to expect. If only

for "THE BIGGEST ASPIDIS-TRA IN THE WORLD " and

" ROCHDALE HOUNDS," this

record would be worth more

than its price. And two

more titles for good measure!

The number is 7EG8299. Orch-estrally, TONY OSBORNE has

few competitors, and his selec-tion of music from the Mike

Todd production of "AROUND

THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS"

amply demonstrates this. The

well known title is included but

there is much more on this EP

worthy of your consideration

(7EG8298). LES HOBEAUX

hove made quite an impact during

the past few months, and their

" SOHO SKIFFLE " (7EG8297)

proves the point. This is a

swinging collection of their pre-vious successes. A lost round-up

on HMV spotlights famous bass

OWEN BRANNIGAN (with

Gerald Moore on piano) with

" BLAYDON RACES" 7EP7050

and other North Country Folk

Songs—sung as they should be;

and for the children there's

NURSERY RHYMES sung by

DORIS GOULD on 7EG8296.

Let's throw the spotlight on

to COLUMBIA, and names old

and new are immediately picked

out. Scotland's famous actor/

singer comedian, the late WILL

FYrFE shines brightly as ever on

SEG7746, with " I BELONG TO

GLASGOW," " SAILING UP

THE CLYDE," " I'M 94 TO-

DAY," and " YE CAN COME

AND SEE THE BABY." Den-nitely a record to treasure.

Across the sea to Ireland and

we find RUBY MURRAY. Ruby

sings songs of her own country

with all her own special charm

on SEG7748; whilst MICHAEL

HOLLIDAY on SEG7752 soons

the world for his selection which

includes " RAMBLIN' MAN,"

"KENTUCKY BABE," "BILLY"

and " SKYE BOAT SONG." For

music to set the feet a-topping

—try "SOUTHERN JOURNEY"

with the BIG BEN BANJO

BAND; or "ROCK' N' SKIFFLE"

with the young Scottish singer,

JIMMY JACKSON. The Banjo

Bond is on SEG7751, whilst

Jimmy Jackson is to be found

on SEG7750. No need to intro-duce you to PAUL ANKA. He

has done that himself in no

small way with " DIANA " and

" I LOVE YOU BABY." These

titles, plus " DON'T GAMBLE

WITH LOVE " and " TELL ME

THAT YOU LOVE ME" make

a perfect souvenir of his recent

exciting tour. (SEG7747). For

something quite different—how

about " SPLICE THE MAIN-BRACE," a collection of Folk

Songs byCHIEF PETTYOFFICER

BILL McDERMAID (SEG7749),

On PARLOPHONE, may we

recommend " DANCING WITH

IAN STEWART (No. 2)." De-lightful dance music, in a de-lightful presentation---ond the

number is GEP8647. Britain's

top vocal group —THE KING

BROTHERS—pay tribute to Al

Jolson and his songs on GEP

8651; whilst MARIE BRYANT

demonstrates her vocal jazz style

on " AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' "

(GEP,8650). Marie is occorn-ponied by MIKE MACKENZIE'S

ALL STARS.

Lastly, but by no means least

—Father SYDNEY MacEWAN

and that delightful tenor voice

of his in a medley of Irish and

Scottish airs (GEP8649).

And that's the round-up for

this month. Ask your dealer

about them, and what better

way of using those record tokens

You received at Christmas than

exchanging them for some of

the above selections.

wonderful American artist — PEARL BAILEY. Pearl has a

special January release on 33S

1 126 titled "FOR ADULTS

ONLY." This exciting COL-UMBIA issue spotlights Pearl

Bailey with some delicious

hand-picked material which she

" sells " almost syllable by syll-able. For the collector — this

record is a mutt. Some old

songs and many new ones too.

Another stylish singer, this time

from our side of the Atlantic, is

our own TONY BRENT. His first

COLUMBIA LP makes its debut

this month--a showcase for his

talents and called "OFF

STAGE" (33S1125). With such

standards as " 1 POURED MY

HEART INTO A SONG,"

"YOU'LL NEVER KNOW,"

"LET'S FALL IN LOVE," cnd

"WISHING," to mention but

a few, Tony's experience,

charm, and showmanship is

shown off to the utmost. That

brilliant, young musical director

—GEOFF LOVE, has another

sparkling LP on Colurnbio 33SX

1069, called "OUR VERY

OWN." Geoff's wearing baton

glides the orchestra through

many beloved melodies of the

late Victor Young. For music to

relax to, or for intent listening

—this is the record for YOU.

Authentic songs from Tennessee

are brought to you on 3351122

with "JOHNNY DUNCAN'S

TENNESSEE SONGBAG." A real

breath of fresh air — and so

different from the usual. Look-ing bock a few vears,

" CHARLESTON WITH EON-NIE ALDEN " cm 3351 123 will

revive many memories. Orches-troted in the style of the day,

tunes like " CHARLESTON,"

" BLACK BOTTOM," " WHEN

THE RED, RED ROBIN COMES

BOB BOB BOBBIN' ALONG "

are relived for you with all their

old gaiety. Our own maestro,

NORR I E PARAMOR, has an-other issue called "THE WON-DERFUL WALTZ " on 33SX

1071. The title tells you what

to expect, and no extra proises

are needed for Norrie's fabulous

orchestra.

On PARLOPHONE, there is a

new issue devoted to RICHARD

TAUBER. In "SONGS OF

STAGE AND SCREEN " (No. 2)

on PMB1012 there is a wonder-ful collection of songs which

will always be strongly asso-ciated with him. In complete

contrast—mov we recommend

the famous VIPERS SKIFFLE

GROUP with their " COFFEE

BAR SESSION " on PMD 1050.

DID you know that singing

and whistling star RO`.NIE

RONA.LDB lives in a beautiful

old world house in Beccics at

the water's edge? . . The

house, called "Red Tiles"

is a much admired spot for

visitors to Suffolk.... From the

river Wavency the sloping la%ns

lead down to a private lacy

where Ronnie's a l e e k motor

cruiser, " Black• bird " can often

be seen riding gracefully on the

tide Did you know that

singer JOAN SAIAGE on Col-umbia, also one of the residents

on the Jack Jackson TV Show,

is also married to comedian-pianist KEN MORRIS who re-cently made his record debut on

the Parlophone label with

" Gotta Oct to Your House

and " Chatterbox " &.4358 .. .

Joan's most recent releasa is

"Shake Me I Rattle" and "Lula

Rock-a-Hula" on Columbia DB

4039 ... JIM - Be My Girl"

DALE became a singer almost

by accident . . . He started in

shove business as a comedian,

but found that the usual closing

song was winning him more

laurels than the gags . . . His

act greatly increased in vocals

until now virtually he has thrown

the comedy patter overboard ...

However, though enjoying suc-cess as a singing star, Jim would

like to become famous as a

comedian ... His latest Parlo-phone release on R.4376 is "Just

Born (to be your baby)" and

"Crazy Dream," both taken

from the recent highly exciting

" Six-five Special " LP . , . Did

theatre, and has worked for, and

alongside, such famous stars of

the legitimate theatre as Sir

Laurence Olivier and Emlyn

Williams' . . . Though haying

little time for hobbies, RONNIE

HILTON is very proud of his

collection of miniature bottles

of liqueurs in his luxurious bar

built into his Leeds home . . .

Ronnie has somewhere around

'00 bottles in his collection .. .

Some of these he has collected

himself, but now that his fans

know of this hobby, bottles

arrive regularly by post from all

comers of the country and even

some from abroad ... ALMA

COGAN was once a dancer

before taking up singing as a

career . . . It's interesting to

note that when Alma danced in

the chorus of "High Button

Shoes" at the London Hippo-drome, one of her colleagues and

room mates was now famous

star Audrey Hepburn ... Since

those dayc they have both gone

January, 1958

far in completely different direc-tions and secured successes in

everything they have tackled .. .

Alma's latest HNfV record

(POP.433) is very contrasting

with its two sides ... A great

song called "The Story of My

Life " coupled with an exciting

Cogan treatment of " Love Is."

Alma certainly proves that she

can get the maximum impact

from every word of a lyric .. .

Many people are asking just who

is BENNY BELL, who is fea-turcd on Parlophonc R4372 sing-ing "Sack Dress" and "Doctor

Jazz" ... We are not giving away

any secrets in this direction, we

only suggest that you listen in-tently to the voice of Benny Bell

to see if you think you've ever

heard it before . . . Vivacious

BILLIE ANTHONY, recently

featured on Columbia D13.4021

with " Love and Kisses" and

"Evcrybody's Buddy," was truly

born in the theatre . . . Both

her parents were show business

folk, and soon after her birth

young Billie was nestling in a

fabricated cot made out of a

travelling basket, whilst mum

was entertaining "out front."
