CHEGANCA (2:48) [Butterfield, BMI Lobo, Filho] CRY (2:47) [Shapiro Bernstein, ASCAP—Kohlman] — AMANHA (2:00) [Butterfield, BMI—Santos, Souza] AUTUMN RHAPSODY (2:23) [Picturetone, BMI—Kusik, Adams, Farrell] WALTER WANDERLEY (Verve 10456) Walter Wanderley made a big splash on the Top 100 scene with his RONNIE DOVH (Diamond 214) rendition of “Summer Samba” and stands to do further chart business with this follow-up called “Cheganca.” Also Latin-tempoed, this one is With a long, long string of hit records in his wake (last smash was good for nice action. “Amanha” is another torrid Latin sound. “I Really Don’t Want To Know,”) Ronnie Dove does some lovely things with the standard “Cry” and the combo of Dove and “Cry” should make for big things. The reading is true and tender and Ronnie’s voice gives the tune a special quality. “Autumn Rhapsody” is a pretty tune warmly. YOUR EVER CHANGIN’ MIND (2:20) [Gil, BMI—Snyder, Sonnenberg]

BUT SHE’S UNTRUE (3:10) [Gallico, BMI—St. Peters] CRISPIAN ST. PETERS (Jamie 1328) PANDORA’S GOLDEN HEEBIE JEEBIES (2:38) [Beechwood, BMI—Alexander] Crispian St. Peters could well repeat his “Pied Piper” stand with this solid outing “Your Ever Changin’ Mind.” The multi-paced outing tells a STANDING STILL (2:39) [Beechwood, BMI—Bluechel] teen-oriented tale of a girl who can’t make the big decision. “But She’s Untrue” reports on cheating girl. THE ASSOCIATION (Valiant 755)

“Cherish’s” long stay at the top of the Top 100 made the Association a hot property and “Pandora^s Golden Heebie Jeebies*^ is sure to keep them PLAIN JANE (2:40) [Crazy Cajun, Poker, BMI—Charron] there. The lid is a strange, haunting medium-paced effort that combines lovely vocal harmonies with an eerie melody and a solid beat. “Standing MY HOME TOWN (2:18) [Crazy Cajun, Flomar, BMI—Charron] Still” is a pretty romancer. B. J. THOMAS (Scepter 12179)

Although he only made a small bit of noise with his recent “Tomorrow Never Comes” outing, B. J. Thomas could climb high once again with BAD MISUNDERSTANDING (1:56) “Plain Jane.” An attractive rock tragedy, the side should go over well. [Kama Sutra, BMI—Andreoli, Poncia, Jr.] “My Home Town” is also done up nicely by the chanter.

FOREVER OR NO MORE (2:17) [Tender Tunes, BMI—Ryan] CRITTERS (Kapp 793) I NEED SOMEBODY (2:12) [Cameo-Parkway, BMI—Mysterians] “8” Dieingly Sad,” the Critters shoot for three-in-a-row with TEEN (2:45) [Cameo-Parkway, BMI—Mysterians] Bad Misunderstanding.” The boys’ winning sound and teen-captivating s^le should ? AND THE MYSTERIANS (Cameo 441) make this easy-going rocker a zoomer. Definite sales here, horever Or No More” is another excellent effort by the group. First time out it was number one with “96 Tears” and the second try is another shot at the top in the same bag dubbed “I Need Somebody.” The sound is potent, hard, low down rock with a wild shouting teen- slanted vocal over the beat. “8” Teen” is more of the gutsy rock sound. YOU CAN BRING ME ALL YOUR HEARTACHES (2:35) [Raw Lou, BMI—Raleigh, Barnum]

A WOMAN WHO’S A WOMAN (2:18) [Wirtz, BMI—Raleigh, Barnum] NATURE BOY (2:18) [Crestview, ASCAP—Ahbez]

The instrumental throbbing, medium-paced side gives Rawls a chance to show stand has what it takes to be appealing to both Top 40 and middle-of- all his vocal pyrotechnics. The flip is a groovy thumper. the-road deejays. “Bermuda Concert” is a misty romancer.

London Pushes Noel Harrison Single

NEW YORK — London Records is rushing out a new single by Noel Harrison for which maximum promotional opportunities will be available. Harrison has already become one of the new TV season’s brightest stars A. . Al(AMUf64 in his weekly role as Mark Slate in the highly rated series, “The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.” In addition to this built-in promotional plus, Harrison has also just been booked for major television exposure via the Ed Sullivan Show, Sunday (13), and the Andy Williams Show, Sunday (11 Dec.). WINTEB WONDEBLAND Beyond this, the recording itself draws on the talents of an elite group of contemporary names in the pop scene. Both the plug side, “In An Old Dusty Room,” and side two, “Cheryl’s ...And AluACUfvi Going Home,” were written by the well-known Coast artist-writer Bob / Linde, writer and disk hit-maker on Q^ueat the recent “Elusive Butterfly.” Pro- duction on the disk was handled through Brian Stone and Charlie Greene’s York-Pala Productions. Ar- ranging and conducting was by Don Peake, who performed the same functions on the new Bobby Darin smash, “If I Were A Carpenter.” Harrison is regarded as an interesting contrast to the more accepted I’ule /^nve^^nan, Vocco. cutiA Qo*tvn, of actor first and record artist second, in which case diskeries vie for the NEW YORK • HOLLYWOOD rights to put hot new TV properties on wax. London had Harrison on the label last year with a hit, “Young Girl,” considerably before he became a top-rated TV regular.

The general answer is that operators should follow them as a stockbroker follows the financial pages or the better follows the scratch sheet.

Whether it’s stocks, records or horses the investor

must make a bet, which is to say an educated guess. No

one in any business, least of all the popular music scene, is clairvoyant, but some operators expect perhaps that the popularity charts will automatically show them exactly what to buy.

The main point raised by some operators, “Is it safe to buy from a bullet?’’, depends on who the artist is and whether the record fits the location on the route.

The top fifty records on any chart signify what is currently selling best and/or will probably go to the top

twenty. Anything below that is simply an indication of what will probably sell or what has been reported as selling heavily in certain areas of the country.

This does not automatically solve the operator’s programming or buying problems—no trade chart can solve them—but it does give him an indication of what to EditoriEil buy. But he, or his route man, whoever buys the records CdiA Box and puts them into the machines, should know some-

thing about what is going on in popular music, what is in

vogue, what is coming up and what is going out.

“Ah, it sounds like noise to me’’, is a handy way to dis- miss a record that isn’t to the operator’s personal taste, Buying From The Charts but that noise may be selling 20,000 records a day, and

he’d better buy it.

Certain artists are always good for boxes and the op- Faster Than A erator knows who they are. Other artists, although tran- sient, are moneymakers and if they remain unknown or unfamiliar to the operator the profits they bring in on a Speeding Bullet? jukebox may be lost to him. Granted, it is difficult to keep up with all the new groups appearing, each with its own kind of sound, from 1920s jugband to Indian sitars and tablas, but the music

industry is wide-open now, anything goes, and the man who knows his music and can read the charts, like the

man who knows his stock or his horses, is the one who is going to get the extra coins in the juke.

Consider also: a record may not be on the charts, but

a location may request it. Are such requests taken care of or are they being ignored? How many operators are keeping libraries of request records?

Ah, how simple it used to be. There were the ballads and there were the novelties. Slip the records on the machine at an 80/20 ratio and go home contented. “Rock and roll confused everything,’’ the operator may say. But is he aware that rock and roll, in its ten years of exist- ence, has taken on a new shape, added musical ideas coming from everywhere between Carnegie Hall and Bombay, and appears now in several different forms?

Has he been following the trend of country music as it spills over into the popular field? Does he know the difference between a Mexican and a Puerto Rican record?

If the operator can answer these questions, then he is already buying wisely from the charts. The signals are

there, if one knows how to read them.
