The Roger Daltrey single, "GIVING IT ALL AWAY" looks

to be going to #1 in England. In view of the obvious

strength of this record and my relationship with The

Who and the people at Track Records, I am extremely

embarrassed that we are not doing as well in the U.S.

Every effort must be made to increase the action we

now have.

I need your support to match their chart listings.

Again contact all sales and promotion personnel.

This record must be given top priority.
