Ilt5tnnuated Bp ATCß B!>;ìards

Available in special 4 color sleeve

To listen to the Nazz is to understand immediately what is all about. There is an exhilaration and joyfulness to what they ara doing which expresses completely the attitude that rock has always sought to express. They play with such finesse and solidity, it amazes me that anything can be so simple yet complex at one and the same time. The amazingly diverse abilities of the Nazz are represented on this album. Their is the hardest of the hard. But the ability of these four young men to create truly original and honest ballads, and adorn them with the most melodic and imaginative harmonies since the hey day of the Manias and Papas will come as a surprise to anyone who thinks that a band can only play it one way or the other.

Todd, Stewkey, Carson, and Thom have created a debut album which immediately places them within the top echelons of the rock hierarchy. They have captured the youthfulness and innocence which has been so lacking from the rock of the past year. They have revitalized the music with their total energy and lack of pretension.

And, before they are through, I think they will tear your head apart, and put it back together again.

SPANKY & OUR GANG (Mercury DJ -101) Give a Damn (2:55) Takya, ASCAP- Scharf, Dorough) Released in cooperation with the New York Urban Coalition because Stu Scharf, Bob Dorough, "Give a Damn," this public service recording presents a picture of the ghetto and the idea behind this summer's "Give a Damn" campaign under way to establish jobs and a summer program for New York's slum dwellers. Stunningly performed, the side fits in well with pop formats and should be considered for considerable exposure.

Bill Gavin's Personal Picks

GIVE A DAMN -Spanky & Our Gang (Mercury) Another social commentary, attempting to counteract public indifference to community problems. The word "damn" has previously been restricted on the air, but in this context it is not only acceptable but most meaningful in a constructive sense.

He, his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Stan Jaffe of Consolidated Record Distributors in Seattle will go to Hollywood via New York on a global flight.

Larry Finley, president of ITCC, planned the contest to motivate dealers to adequately promote tape cartridges at the consumer level. Its primary goal was to further acquaint consumers with the cartridge concept by catapaulting it into the store spotlight.
