“GIRL MEETS BOY” a story in music with Peggy King, Jerry Vale and Felicia Sanders with Percy Faith Orch—Columbia CL 713 (12" LP)

LET'S FALL IN LOVE; YOU BETTER GO NOW; GOODNIGHT MY LOVE; I WANNA BE LOVED; TEMPTATION; CONFLICT; IT'S EASY TO REMEMBER; JUST ONE MORE CHANCE; LOVE IS HERE TO STAY. The age old story of girl meets boy, girl loses boy, girl gets boy is beautifully told in music by three of Columbia’s youngsters, Peggy King, Jerry Vale and Felicia Sanders. Peg plays the girl next door, Jerry the boy next door, and Felicia portrays the third party of the triangle love affair. Eleven standards are used to tell the romantic episode. It’s an excellent idea produced by Irving Townsend and wonderfully presented by the three polished performers. Could be a big seller. It’s certainly a most appealing LP. Cover has twelve panels with drawings of the various stages of the romance.

Cyril Stapleton and his orchestra transport the listener to Paris after dark with a romantic album comprised of twelve of France’s best known and best loved standards. The music is tender and heart warming and casts such a delightful mood. A wonderful LP for anyone who wants to add that continental atmosphere to his house party. And for easy listening at the end of a busy day, this album is perfect. It’s ultra soothing. The concertina plays an important role. “FOLK SONGS OF THE NEW WORLD”— The Roger Wagner Chorale—Cap- itol P 8324 (12" LP) BLACK IS THE COLOR; I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD; WAYFARING STRANGER;

“I THOUGHT OF YOU” (2:35) [Fairway BMI—J. Rollins]

[Central BMI J. “BEAUTIFUL LIES” ( 2 : 46 ) — Rhodes] JEAN SHEPARD (Capitol 3222; F3222) • Jean Shepard, who grabbed off a healthy chunk of the sales and spins with her two-sided money-maker, “Satisfied Mind” and “Take Posses- sion”, appears to have a back to back, powerhouse follow-up on her latest release. Upper portion, tagged “I Thought Of You”, is a moderate paced, romantic weeper that the thrush delivers in soft, sincere fashion. A pretty wedding of melody and lyrics combined with Jean’s excellent por- trayal makes this side a natural for the popularity charts. “Beautiful Lies”, on the lower half, is another feelingful, middle tempo, lover’s lament that the chirp puts across with telling effect. Billy Wood’s ork lends a warm and delicate instrumental backdrop on both ends. It’s a top notch coupling that’s gonna please the ops and dealers and will no doubt add many more fans to her already huge following.

New York City and surrounding area operators were exceptionally for- tunate in that the floods last week didn’t affect their equipment—or means of livelihood. We’ve been talking with coinmen here and from the outlying territories, and some of them were very badly hit. Distributors here, covering territories in the mountain areas of New York, and the states of New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts have been receiving phone calls from their customers telling of their losses. From what we can gather from newspaper stories and talks with distributors, operators’ machines are not covered by insurance.

THE WURLITZER 1800

The outside beauty of the Wurlitzer 1800 is obvious to all. Its eye appeal has

played a tremendous part in its proven earning power. But the men who operate

it know that the inside story of this phonograph is equally impressive.

Engineered from quality components on simple, sound principles, the 1800

mechanism is fool-proof, trouble-free. Any Wurlitzer Operator will tell you that the Model 1800 holds top locations, plays wonderful music, takes in good money with minimum demands on the Service Department.

It has honestly and universally earned the title of “The Year’s Top Phonograph.”
