Dismissed from WLUP in that city two weeks ago (Radio Replay, Feb. 21), Dahl will be wailing over ABC -owned WLS-FM as of Monday (23) on the 2:30-7:00 p.m. shift, along with his sidekick Garry Meier. Needless to say, WLS PD John Gehron looks forward to a mutually beneficial relationship. He feels that Dahl will fit right in with present staff, which he says is strong on personality. As already reported, Dahl's dismissal also affected other radio sta- tions that were part of his Alternative Radio Network, a hookup created with the specific purpose of simulcasting Dahl's 'LUP morning show via satellite over stations in other cities. As of last week, some of the stations had been holding out hope of the Network continuing the service, but at this time, it looks impossible. According to Gehron, WLS-FM does not anticipate any live simulcasts of Dahl's afternoon show, although he did not rule out the possibility that Dahl might do something with the ABC Network.

The reason for this cover art, according IM24 KISS ON MY LIST DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES/RCA 12142 4 to Columbia's director of national album promotion Vince Pellegrino, 26 JUST THE TWO OF US GROVER WASHINGTON, JR./ is because Taylor's last album, "Flag," proved to be problematic in Elektra 47103 3 terms of merchandising. "The 'Flag' LP," said Pellegrino, "was difficult 21 21 I AIN'T GONNA STAND FOR IT STEVIE WONDER/Tamla to merchandise because the cover art consisted of diagonals of color; 54320 (Motown) 8 there was no picture of Taylor, and no print. When theconsumer 22 22 GIVING IT UP FOR YOUR LOVE DELBERT McCLINTON/ saw the album in record stores, he frequently didn't know thatit was Capitol/MSS 4948 7 by James Taylor.
