Mitch Miller was the overseer as Frankie Laine and The Four Lads went into the recording session for Columbia which produced “Rain, Rain, Rain”. Teaming The Lads and Laine for the first time, Mitch came up with a hit which was released at a most opportune season since the hurricanes of a couple of weeks ago gave strong impetus to the “Rain” title. Imme- diately afterwards, the disk jumped high into the best seller lists and has been showing strength ever since.

Toscanini had previously recorded the 9th Symphony for RCA Victor, but this is a new recording made prior to his retirement. The master- piece is expressively and dramatically interpreted by Toscanini whose demands of perfection and attention to the smallest details are evident on this recording. "00P-SH00P" The single LP is not packaged in the regular sleeve, but rather in a hard AND covered book which binds a complete short story of the life of Schubert by Andre Maurois, the famous French novelist. Do Me Good Baby

“SALOME” ‘Dance of the Seven Veils’—Richard Strauss—RCA Victor LM-1806 THE CREW-CUTS -(1-12" LP) List: $5.67 “Also Sprach Zarathustra”—Fritz Reiner conducting the Chicago Symphony MERCURY 70443 • 70443X45 Orchestra. This album is “Richard Strauss in High Fidelity”. The music, which is brilliant u in score, sensuous, exotic, mysterious, languorous, is a delight to the hi-fi enthusiast. It lends itself to the technical skill of the engineer who highlights "VENI-VIDI-VICI AND the instrumentation, bringing forth sounds so often lost, the percussive explo- sions, without for one moment destroying the music itself. The “Dance of the ## Seven Veils” is complete, tho it is so beautifully performed it seems too short. A Kiss To Call My Own The “Also Sprach Zarathustra” is an excellent companion piece. The jacket is the book type which opens to reveal the notes on the inside and is adorned with a lush full colored reproduction of the Renoir “Salome”. This record should appeal to a large market. THE GAYLORDS MERCURY 70427 • 70427X45

BRAHMS “Concerto In D Major for Violin and Orchestra Op. 77”—Nathan // Milstein—Capitol P 8271 (1-12" LP) List: $5.72 William Steinberg conducting The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra THE MAGIC CIRCLE Classical buyers are long aware of the artistry of Nathan Milstein and when AND it is applied to the Brahms’ “Concerto in D Major” for Violin and Orchestra u // the result is a Grade-A album that will provide many hours of pleasure. Al- though at the time of its appearance it was facetiously dubbed “a concerto The Muskrat Ramble against the violin” because of the difficulties it presented to the performing- artist, Milstein’s treatment is flawless. The album has several good versions to compete with, but this album stands on its own merits. RUSTY DRAPER MERCURY 70446 • 70446X45

it MOVIE IN A LITTLE SPANISH TOWN AND “THE EGYPTIAN”—Alfred Newman conducting The Hollywood Symphony Orchestra and Chorus—Decca DL-9014 (12" LP) List: $5.85 If you’ve ever seen a motion picture without music, you know how flat it is. "Bumpty Bump" Music adds brilliance to a movie and makes more vivid the action taking place. Here, Alfred Newman conducts the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra and chorus through the music which he and Bernard Herrmann—two of filmdom’s most DAVID CARROLL prominent composers penned for Darryl Zanuck’s “The Egyptian”. The music — MERCURY 70444 • 70444X45 is a work of art and should appeal greatly to enthusiasts of background music. Themes are both exciting and beautiful. Picture is a smash throughout the country.

JAZZ

CHRIS CONNOR sings “Lullabys of Birdland”—Bethlehem BCP 1001 (10" LP) —List: $3.85

I HEAR MUSIC; WHAT IS THERE TO SAY; COME BACK TO SORRENTO; WHY SHOULDN'T I; LULLABY OF BIRDLAND; TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS; ALL ABOUT RONNIE; SPRING IS HERE. If you’d like to hear one of the tops in jazz singing, then you’ve just gotta listen to this Chris Connor album. A star vocalist with the Stan Kenton oreh in the past, the thrush dishes up her first LP on which she sings with the accompaniment of a trio for the first time. Aided by Ellis Larkins, Everett Barksdale and Beverly Peer, Chris is wonderfully showcased on her presentation of a number of top standards. Her rich voice is in great form on these decks. We’re wild about her “Come Back To Sorrento” and the title tune. Jazz followers will love this one.

The Colorful Music of ROGER KING MOZIAN—Clef MGC-166 (1-10" LP) List: $3.85 MIDNIGHT IN SPANISH HARLEM; LOVE FOR SALE; PANORAMA; TEMPTATION; YESTERDAYS; FORLORN; ROCK 'EM; JUST MOZIAN ALONG. Perhaps one of the best bands on the American horizon, but still to be accorded the recognition it deserves, is the smart sounding Roger King Mozian group. Mozian records a collection of sweet jazz that paints moods in lush colors, intrigues the ear and invites the feet to partake. Definitely a commercial album.

BILLY TAYLOR PLAYS FOR D.J.’s—Prestige LP 184 (1-10" LP) List: $4.00 TUNE FOR TEX; MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT; I'LL BE AROUND; BIDDY'S BEAT; EDDIE'S THEME;

MOOD FOR MENDES; GOODBYE; LULLABY OF BIRDLAND. Bill Carlisles, Jumping With Billy Taylor, long one of this reviewers favorite pianists, comes up with a Joy Over His Latest Hit!

Taylor’s delicate fingering of the originals and standards is up AND to his usual excellent par and should delight his followers.

The Cash Box Page 40 October 2, 1954 EXHIBIT’S NEW The big city, having had both the National and American League baseball champs for the past few years, is not too excited over the win of the “Giants.” However, the “Giant” fans are jumping, and strangely enough, it appears to us as if many coinmen, who were “Dodger” rooters for years, now claim to be “Giant” fans. Nat Solow, Atlantic-New York Corp. office manager, altho he’s lived in Brooklyn all of his life, has been a “Giant” rooter from the time he could first speak. A1 Simon, Albert Simon, Inc., once rooted for the Brooklyn team, but switched his affiliations when McPhail took charge over there. These are established facts, but what about all of those other switchers? The World Series will bring in big crowds of out-towners, and coinmen with locations in mid-town and near the *****ball park, should benefit. The officers and members of the Westchester Operators Guild are to be commended highly for their efforts to switch to 10c play on music machines. Reports handed in by five members at a special meeting on Monday night, HAR Sept. 20, is positive proof that the switch can be made. Every one of these five reported they were extremely happy with the results, stating that these new machines during the trial period showed gross increases of from 30%

to 40%. (See feature story this issue). . . . Joe Young and Abe Lipsky, Young SHOOTING GALLERY Distributing, supplied the Wurlitzer 1650 which was highlighted on the Monday night show of Perry Como. “We would have liked to given them a 1700”

stated Young, “but we were all out of them.” . . . Bob Jacobs, National Amuse- ment Co., not only decorated his offices and showrooms, but this week further embellished his office with a striking blonde secretary, Rosalyn Goldstein.

But each time Bill would very sadly refuse. “Much as I would like to,” Bill excused, “we’re much, much too busy at Bally.” Just before the outdoor swimming season ended, some of the gents dropped over to see if Bill was telling the truth. After waiting about 20 minutes to get a word with him, as one long distance phone call after the the TONE

Speaking of swimming at the Edgewater Beach, Howie Freer of Empire had some very candid pics taken of him by someone with a Minox while he was enjoying a dip. Said the Talk of the Howie after he saw the prints, “Holy smokes, don’t let The Cash Box get hold of these. Looks to me like I’ll have to get into some more active sports. My waist line seems to be expanding. Or is it age?” Activity for Howie was held up when he went to the hospital.
