It took Colin Blunstone one year to write his new . It took the critics one week to write these reviews: "Colin was the lead singer of the Zombies and in that capacity helped to create some of the most memorable music of the sixties. His first solo LP is an audio delight, a beautifully crafted work that weaves an enchanting aura of restfulness. His vocals, hovering on the edge of breathlessness are uniquely alluring and tantalizing."-Billboard "...intricate, delicate, classical passages and intense, searing, sexy rock gems, as well as soft introverted ballads such as Tim Hardin's "Misty Roses.':... It is obvious that once a Zombie, always a Zombie upon listening to "She Loves the Way They Love Her."The Zombies feel is bolstered by ex -Zombie organist Rod Argent. The key word of this set is sensitivity- it is a finely spun work by a significant artist."-Cash Box

And Bob Hamilton's Radio Report called "Caroline Goodbye," the single from "One Year,""a totally unique sound...plenty of creativity." If all this happened in one week, just imagine what happens in"One Year." Colin Blunstone."One Year." Featuring the single, "Caroline Goodbye:' EPIC On Epic Records A "EPIC." MARCA REG. T.M.

NEW YORK-'S' NO BIRD, 'S' ANNE MURRAY! She's been called the girl next door so often that I'm beginning to become

convinced that I grew up in a strangely drab neighborhood. But if that's whole- some-outdoorness you see in her face rather than MOR -tinsel, it shows your perceptiveness. Anne didn't start out to be a singer. She wanted to be, and was a phys ed teacher first. Anne grew up with five brothers in the Maritime Provinces of Canada and learned all there was to know about football and baseball for survival's sake. Yet in her own school, there was no gymnasium whatsoever. Needless to say there were also no physical education teachers, and it was Anne's dream to go back home after college and become the first. Almost immediately though, her career became entangled with show business. While still teaching, (after some success on radio) she began a musical fling on TV and the "Sing Along Jubilee" show. While it was only a slot in the chorus of a summer replacement, she also didn't have to worry about the show being cancelled or conflicting much with her teaching. Somehow there's less fickleness up north and this show was the closest thing her countrymen had to Ed Sullivan. So it ran and ran and ran. And as viewers began a writing campaign demanding that the red-cheeked wholesome blonde be put up front with solos of her own, she became more and more of a star until a Canadian diskery, Arc (whose roster at one time also included Ocean and David Clayton -Thomas) recorded an album on her for local distribution. A Capitol contract and four best selling albums later, Anne has a rather fanatic Canadian following and, interestingly enough strong country music status in the States. "This really puzzles me," Anne remarked. "I'm not a country singer, and

I'm just learning about the music now. I played seven days straight of state fairs. The greatest thing about them is the people, who really enjoy seeing and hearing you. The sound systems are bad, but you can't worry about them in the cow dung. It all goes up in the air anyway. Country fans are the most loyal and I'm very happy they've taken to me." She's never really had the opportunity to star in a hall fit for her talents. There have been lots of bills headlined by Glen Campbell, in Las Vegas and Holly- wood, paralleling her role on Glen's TV series, but no solo concerts aside from (Cont'd on p. 32)

HOLLYWOOD-EMITT RHODES: AMERICAN DREAM COME TRUE Hawthorne, California. It's a place you may have heard of-The Beach Boys were raised there. A trip through the Los Angeles suburb will tell you more about their music than all the rock critics in Detroit could. Flat land. Light industry. Lots of welding shops. Row upon row of unassuming frame houses. Not a whole lot to do except surf-the beach isn't that far away-and cruise Hawthorne Boulevard. The Beach Boys aren't the only musical celebrities to come from this environment. Another is Emitt Rhodes. He was raised there; his parents still occupy the same house. The only major change, it would seem, is the garage. In the spot where Emitt's sister had her wedding reception, where at one time there used to be the family pool table, there's now an eight -track recording studio. It's not much of an eight -track studio, but how many of your neighbors have one? Emitt's board consists of several microphone mixers wired together. It's set up in such a way that he can only record on one track at a time, but since he does all the instruments and vocals on his albums, that's o.k. I "It's easier when I do it alone. That way I have complete control over what produce. The record company would like me to record in a regular studio and use session musicians. But I'd lose control that way. What I do is do all the arrangements myself, play the instruments, record myself and then deliver a bill for studio time with the album. The last one cost about $5,000." In an admittedly jerry-rigged situation, Emitt has created some rather unusual techniques for recording himself. For the acoustic guitar parts, he plays his instrument six feet away from the microphone. He uses three mikes on his drums-one overhead, one on the bass drum and one on the snare. For vocals, he sits in a chair, listens to the tracks through a headset and watches the dials on his recorder through the door. He has to be careful of a couple of things. "It sounds pretty quiet here, but the sound leakage is terrible. There are cars on the street outside, and planes passing overhead. We're close to the airport. All of that comes through the mikes quite clearly." Emitt got his first job by answering an ad. He doesn't remember whether it was in a music store or on a supermarket bulletin board, but you get the idea. He was to replace the drummer in a local group that was to soon land the job as house band in a new Hollywood club called the Hullabaloo. "I got in the band and was the youngest one there-just 14. We played all the hits and wore uni- forms. We were called the Palace Guard. "The Hullabaloo (now the Aquarius Theatre) has all these dressing rooms

backstage. I learned to play guitar between sets there, just to pass time. I'm an excellent rhythm guitarist now,and pretty good on lead. But there's something

that evades me about playing lead guitar. I have the technique-I can copy somebody else's lead-but what it takes to put together a lead line isn't entirely clear to me. The guitar player with my band is helping me out. He explains it as

being a percussive instrument, and I can understand that. "I still consider myself primarily a drummer. Drums are a rhythm instrument, and rhythm is the foundation for everything." We asked Emitt why he didn't tour more. "Doing concerts is a diversion of my

attention. I like to concentrate on songwriting and recording, and keep away from

anything that distracts. It's not that I don't like to play with a band; the people (Cont'd on p. 32)

It's a song called "Victory Is Peace", and will be the theme of every NBC telecast of the Olympics. "Victory Is Peace" will open and close every show. No new song has ever enjoyed such extraordinary exposure. Paramount has just released the single of "Victory Is Peace", performed by the Lee Holdridge Orchestra. John Denver, Bill Danoff, and Taffy Nivert (the composers of "Country Road") wrote it for NBC. And just in case you'd like even more sales insurance, the record was produced by Milt Okun. The most important sports show in the world is already selling this record. Be a winner with it.
