LOVE THEME FROM THE GODFATHER- Roger Williams-Kapp 3665 Perhaps this should be called The Godfather issue. And why not? When a theme is as beautiful as the one from that film it's only natural that many artists will rush to record it. The fleet fingered Mr. Williams offers a particularly attractive and lush version, and among the other items included are "The Way Of Love," "We've Got To Get It On Again," "Until It's Time For You To Go" and a couple of pop ventures into the realms of Chopin and Tchaikovsky. The film's success plus the long standing popularity of Williams will be two important factors here.

NEW YORK-STORIES: ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE EAST.... The life span of any group is dependent upon its appeal. A group that can cap- ture AM, FM and MOR markets is likely to be around a while longer than one that is totally geared towards a specific market. The Beatles can best exemplify th!s theory. While always topping the AM charts, they too were the most popular underground act. Their songs were performed by everyone from Spooky Tooth to Andre Kostelanetz, and done both vocally as well as instrumentally. And this brings us to Stories! Stories is a New York based quartet. Self contained. And they play music that crosses all barriers. Their music is precise, well planned, and a pleasure to listen to. Melodies emerge endlessly from their songs vocal melodies and instrumental melodies. And the potential for releasing singles from the LP is virtually unlimited. Following is brief track by track description of the Stories: HELLO PEOPLE-With a strong accent on lyrical content, side one opens with a powerfully driving tune that kind of sets the stage for the remainder of the LP. An exceptional vocal performance is turned in by Ian Lloyd (who co -wrote the album with Michael Brown), and re -occurring guitar riffs serve to further highlight the track. I'M COMIN' HOME-This track, with its honky tonk piano solo could easily pass for an old bar room favorite. Again, strong vocal and background vocals heighten the drive of the song while Brown's piano adds an additional layer of flavoring. WINTER SCENES-McCartneyish in style, this tune is based around piano and vocals. Song displayed an excellent blending of instruments to give it form and feeling needed to make it work. STEP BACK-Medium tempo tune features many exciting guitar runs tastefully mixed to appear when necessary while not distracting from the body of the song. Repeated chorus becomes almost hypnotic. YOU TOLD ME-The fifth and final selection on side one makes use of a string quartet to offset the song's major melody line. Again, as in most cases on this LP, the lyrics are beautifully interwoven with the music. SAINT JAMES-Of all the tunes on the album, this is the one that least appeals to me-probably because of the many piano breaks dispersed between the many verses. Some fine guitaristry here played to verse. KATHLEEN-Soft, enticing ballad with emphasis on telling a story via pretty images and thoughts. Again strings are used most effectively. TAKE COVER-If I had to choose but one single from this entire set, "Take Cover" would be my choice. In three minutes, Stories has created a mood complete with a super commercial feeling and funky rhythm section to strengthen teen appeal. NICE TO HAVE YOU HERE-Song projects same feeling as "Hey Jude," smooth and soft-with fine organ work and harpsichord solo. Background vocals flash in and out gracefully. HIGH AND LOW-Concluding side two, this Beatle-like ballad even features guitar work incredibly similar to George Harrison. It's just one of those songs you're certain you've heard before-without ever hearing. Stories have composed 10 tightly woven songs to be issued by Kama Sutra as their debut album effort. After listening only once, it becomes obvious that their catalog will be much sought after. For Stories have combined their individual talents to become a group of universal appeal. And after all, isn't that the answer to a lot of questions? kenny kerner

HOLLYWOOD-YOU OVERHEAR THE WEIRDEST THINGS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF JUDAISM CAFETERIA Congratulations to Abe and Lynne Hoch on the arrival of their firstborn. Our Friends Down Under may remember the proud mother as singer Lynne Randall, one of several waves of the Australian Invasion that started in 1963 with Rolf Harris and continues to dribble. Lynne came to the U.S. with the Monkees (remember that name!) and stayed. When naming the child, Lynne wanted to com- memorate some Australian Folk Idol, but couldn't make up her mind among Ned Kelly, Chips Rafferty, Ken Sparkes of Don Grierson. So Lynne and Abe settled on Jamieson Randall Hoch. There's not a lot of history in the name, but we'll have to admit that it's nice. Meanwhile, Norm and Joy (especially Joy) Winter are expecting their first. When asked what he planned to name the kid, Norm told Cash Box (this is an exclusive) "Amoreena." I think that's a joke .. Is it too late for one last piece of Monkee (did you remember that name?) trivia?: Michael Nesmith's mother invented Liquid Paper. A secretary and artist, she developed the formula for a correction fluid, and then mixed it up at home in her kitchen, pouring it into nail polish bottles. Young Michael would peddle the stuff, door-to-door. Later, Mrs. Nesmith remarried, and her new husband helped her expand the business into the rather large enterprise it is today. Liquid Paper trivium: if you have an odd -colored letterhead, send it to the company in Dallas and they'll whip up a batch to match it exactly. More serious note: Phyllis Nesmith, Michael's wife, is locally heading the Cali- fornia Marijuana Initiative Campaign, to ultimately abolish the criminality of possession of the plant. She needs signatures, money, an office to work from and all sorts of ideas. If you can really help, give us a call and we'll get you in touch. And in the meantime, the campaign's going along quite impressively with
