By DAVID McGEE MICHAEL MURPHEY NEWS, CONT'D: Prior to his performance at Cain's Ballroom (reviewed here last week), Michael Murphey cele- brated his birthday by showing up at Tulsa's legendary God's Racquet- ball Courts where he promptly lost three consecutive games to the columnist. To add insult to injury the columnist then refused to take the birthday boy to his favorite vegetarian restaurant in town, shuttling him off instead to Goldie's Patio Grill, home of the world's greatest cheeseburger. There, Murphey eagerly devoured a breakfast of french fries and cole slaw and muttered something about the integrity of a reporter who enjoys eating dead animals. And so on and so forth. As mentioned in part one of this dispatch, Murphey, while keeping a low profile in the past year as far as his recording career is con- cerned, has nevertheless remained active with other projects which, by his own estimation, are at least as artistically satisfying as anything he's ever undertaken. Primary among them is the film "Hard Country," which examines the life of a young Texas girl who leaves home in an attempt to escape a dreary, unpromising future in her home town. Atlant,c Records recently threw a party/luncheon in honor of vice president/inter- In the film, Murphey plays the leader of the house band in a honky national manager Bob Kornheiser, who is retiring after 22 years with the label. tonk that is modeled after Cain's, Gilley's and other famous American Amon, those in attendance were virtually the entire home office (New York) staff of Atlantic, representatives of WEA International, and many friends and associates. clubs of a similar nature.

RECORD WORLD APRIL 5, 1980 15

www.americanradiohistory.comAmericanRadioHistory.Com By SAMUEL GRAHAM & SAM SUTHERLAND PLEASE PLEASE ME: The little cover blurb above the title on George Martin's new book, "All You Need is Ears" (St. Martin's Press, New York), might well be an embarrasment to its subject. "The story of the recording genius who created the Beatles," reads the line, but the modest Mr. Martin might be inclined to qualify that statement a bit. After all, although it was Martin who signed the Beatles to his Parlophone label (after many others, in a legend that he bears out, had already turned them away), by his own assessment he did less to "create" them as a worldwide musical phenomenon than he did simply to hone their considerable talents. That may be hair-splitting, but Martin himself is extremely precise throughout the book. There's a lot more to "All You Need is Ears" than Martin's Beatle reminiscences, but let's face it: the book probably wouldn't exist had he not been involved with them (even the title, obviously, is a Beatle reference), and the chapters dealing with their collaboration are fascinating. When the Fab Four first recorded with Martin, for instance, their drummer was still Pete Best, who, says the author, could not cut it. When it came time to record "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You," Best had been replaced by Ringo Starr, but Martin had hired a session drummer, resulting in a small row between pro- ducer and band. As it turned out, two recordings of "Love Me Do" were made, with Ringo playing on one and the session man on the other-and Martin, believe it or not, can't remember which version was finally issued! What's most apparent is that Martin's value as a trained musical technician, one who could help the Beatles' marvelous ideas take A&M ecording artist was honored by the Hollywood Chamber of Com- shape, can't be overestimated.
