Cash Box — April 11, 1970 I've looked under the chairs I've looked under the tables I tried to find the key to fifty million fables

They call me the seeker I've been searching all the time I won't get to get what I'm after Till the day I die.

So begins The Seeker." #32670 the long-awaited new single by The Who.

Blackwood Music is proud to be associated with James Taylor and his publishing company Country Road Music. ROGER CHANTLER KEVIN FRANCIS ROBERT GORMAN They’re introducing a new kind of Love Rock.

Fresh is a new group with an album of new music. The first music about love in Borstal— England’s reformatory system. Borstal is ugly and vicious. And so is “Fresh Out of Borstal.” In spots.

It says things nobody’s ever said on an album. It says

things polite people don’t say at all. “Fresh Out of Borstal” was written by Jagger. Richard. Napier-Bell. Singer. Among others. Freely. Vividly. And Fresh knows how to color their material. All the way from brute grey to the wildest streaks of lavender. RCA Records is excited about Fresh. They’re going to hit big. But it’s not a greedy excitement. It’s the excitement you get when you’re breaking new ground. How are we going to break Fresh? Lavishly.

Fresh pulled out all stops performing it. We can hardly do less. We’re going to poster Fresh. We’re going to Underground Press Fresh. We’re going to Underground Radio Fresh. We’re going to tour Fresh. We’re going to make Fresh heard. (They’re already being heard, you know. On Underground Radio. Before we’ve even lifted a finger.) You don’t just listen to Fresh. You face them. The way you face an indictment. Fresh will move you. CashBox Album Reviews

NEW YORK - THE MEDIUM’S NOT MASSAGING

Rock just cannot be tunneled through the tube. That much seems clear now] Television is definitely not rock’s medium. But the message isn’t getting through to tv producers or rock performers. It’s probably hard to understand. Especially so when a rock performer or group figures that one tv shot will probably reach more people than 20 personal appearance tours. That’s all very true. So what. In the final analysis, the rock music going out or

tv reaches its audience in a diluted, less dynamic version than it would in a con-| cert appearance, certainly, or even a recorded rendition. Still, massive exposure

seems to be terribly important to many rock performers. But should it be? At this point, probably not. There are a number of pitfalls in the presentation of rock music on television. Tc begin with, rock is an immediate, almost tactile form of entertainment. Sound]

like a natural for television, the most immediate of our media. It doesn’t transml that way however. The controls have been transferred. What we hear out in tele|| vision land is determined by the station’s technicians. Sure, the volume contra can be adjusted at home, but the intensity and modulation of the music, the rea heart of rock, are totally divorced from the source in transmission. Mountain put in an appearance on a segment of NET’S "The Show” which was

broadcast a couple of weekends ago. To dip into the jargon of rock, Mountain is definitely a “heavy” group. They are so heavy in fact that the mere volume of theii| music has been known to drive people from the front sections of theatres in whicf they happen to be playing. For "The Show,” Mountain chose to lead off with theiil current single release "Mississippi Queen.” Now, “Mississippi Queen” ain’t exactl^ a ballad. In order to really appreciate what's going down in the song, you shoulc

hear it played at the thunderous level at which it was recorded. "Mississippi Queen,” as transmitted on “The Show” lacked the vitality the song was meant tc have. Mountain is one hell of an exciting group. That’s another thing you wouldn’j really have known after seeing them on "The Show.” So, what good did their appearance do the group? For those who were familiaj

with Mountain and its work, it was disappointing. And, the performance did noj seem to do a whole lot in winning over that part of the audience which was noj previously into Mountain. The television camera has a strange way of reducing, minimizing and isolating things. Any medium that can diminish the physical enormity of Leslie West ha] got to be going some. One of the delights in seeing Mountain is watching gigantic Leslie West work out, his girth dwarfing his big guitar. On the small screen how]| ever, this tremendous disproportion was missing. This is what was so disappointing about the recently demised "Music Scene’! series. Ideally, “Music Scene” was the show which should have grabbed off the

entire rock audience. It didn't simply because the vitality and excitement of the rock artists which the show's "natural” audience knew was there did not com] through. And all the trick camera work and gimmickry in the world could not rel produce that. Interestingly enough, this excitement is not dissipated on the largq theatre screen. "Woodstock” is of course the prime example. The rock segments of the film ard probably as exciting as the actual performances must have been. But, of course| the performances depicted in the film do not undergo the awful physical reductior which those broadcast on tv must. And, there is the sound. The sound of "Wood|

stock” was everywhere in the theatre. Just as it was in Bethel, New York. As ar

experiment, it would be wild to see the transformation "Woodstock” would undergd

if the film were shown on tv and all that sound was squeezed through the tiny speakers of a conventional tv set. The result would have to be disappointing a] hell. (Con’t. on Page 50)|

HOLLYWOOD - WITH A TOUCH OF NEW YORK

When people go out of their way to tell you how good an album is, and it isn’t] their album, then you know something’s up. This is what’s been happening to us with the Melanie album. So, we went to a Melanie expert, Richard Robinson, to find| out where Melanie is at: "Until recently most people either loved Melanie or hated her. Her voice and the songs she sang left no common ground, no take it or leave it. Just violent reactions split pretty much down the middle between good and bad. Her third album, "Candles in The Rain”, has broken down a lot of walls. Her sing| ing isn’t as sharp and biting, her songs aren’t as one sided and child-like. Melanie has grown up for this album. She can still be cute when she sings "Alexander bee-| tie”, but her womanhood is apparent with "Candles In The Rain” and "What Have They Done To My Song”. And now she doesn’t have to write a song to convey feeling, her version of "Carolina On My Mind” equals James Taylor’s original for] true emotion. Many things have happened between the first two albums and this new onej things which account for it being so good, for people saying, “I don’t like Melanie star in Received awards, beer but I love the album.” She has become a Europe. given gold albums, done her own hour long television specials. She has worked lot singing for people who came to be shown, who came not because of any super-] star type but because they somehow dug the chick and her blush and the way she slowly closed her eyes whi le she sang. The new album is a wonder in many ways. It combines everything Melanie alj ways was with the excitement and mature emotion that were missing for many ofl 1 us before. Her song lyrics hold up now, she carries it through from the first word to the last. She began by singing alphabet songs, now she’s using the letters tc make words and she’s singing those with experience. The title song for the album is the most exciting of all. After her appearance atj Woodstock Melanie wrote what she thought about the experience. It came out “Candles In The Rain”. She recorded the song with The Edwin Hawkins Singers] The result is a combination of the feeling of joy that was "Oh Happy Day” and the youthful conviction that was Woodstock."

The horizontal record changer was discussed at length. “The selection accumulator contains a magnetic pin release, simplified adjustment, few- er moving parts and only two coils,” Nutting Industries, Ltd. of Milwaukee Gregg said.

N.Y. 14120 THE WURLITZER COMPANY • 1 14 YEARS OF MUSICAL EXPERIENCE NORTH TONAWANDA, Tonsil Records just pressed its first single! “HI Keep It With Mine? performed by Great Jones. (Bob Dylan wrote it)

Tonsil Records does things right. (Starting with our big-mouth logo.)

1. We signed up Great Jones (led by Jay Traynor, who was the Jay of ) . Not bad. 2. We gave them a scoop; Bob Dylan's "I'll Keep It With Mine." Not bad. 3. We had it produced by Jerry Ragovoy. Not bad.

4. We signed up Great Jones to do the sound track for the new movie, The Sidelong Glances of a Pigeon Kicker . Not bad.

5. They elicited sustained applause at Fillmore East , acclaim at the Rockpile Toronto, extreme ,

and won over the Electric Factory , Philadelphia. Not bad. (With our other hand, we signed Asylum, a very very good big jazz rock band. They're belting out their first album right this minute, and we'll release it in May. Right after that, they'll play a summer engagement at the Caribe Hilton, San Juan.)

Good old APA is the faithful booking agent for both groups. Call Neville Gerson, Tonsil Records, 586-6750, 1700 Broadway, New York City.
