NEW YORK-PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION ARE IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER To the average rock enthusiast, the name of Mussorgsky is probably mean- ingless. He died in 1881, long before the word 'rock' was ever used. Amongst his more famous works was a piece entitled "Pictures At An Exhibition" which was Mussorgsky's musical interpretation of the works of Russian artist/architect Victor Hartmann. Mussorgsky was not trying to depict in music the impressions the paintings left with him, but rather, he was trying to capture musically their moods and sensitivity as illustrated on canvass by Hartmann. As rock music evolved, it became common practice to borrow from the masters. Procol Harum, The Nice, The Mothers of Invention, Emerson, Lake & Palmer; and before them, (believe it or not) Jack Wilson's "Night," The Toys' "Lover's Con- certo," and Miguel Rios' "Song Of Joy" to name just a few. When British guitarist Jeff Beck performed a tune which he called "Beck's Bolero," audiences were astonished at the dynamics of the piece not realizing of course that it was a thematic variation borrowed from Maurice Ravel who originated the Bolero some 25 years before Beck had taken his first step. But history has a way of repeating itself. This week Cotillion Records will re- lease the third album from Emerson, Lake & Palmer which is entitled, coinci- dentally, "Pictures At An Exhibition." And although the trio is well versed in musical technique, they fail, with the exception of the Promenade, or original theme, to accurately portray Mussorgsky's work. In its original format, Mussorgsky has divided his 'Pictures' into 10 frames, if you will, each connected by the reoccurring theme called the Promenade. Each frame, (The Gnome, The Old Castle, Children Playing, An Ox Wagon, Ballet of the Unhatched Chickens, Samuel Goldenberg, The Market Place of Limoges, The Catacombs, The Hut of Baba -Yaga, and The Great Gate of Kiev) sensitive and picturesque, captures the feeling of a particular scene. ELP, while making reference to the Promenade throughout their interpretation, only touch on the remaining themes and have omitted some to include their "Blues Variation" and "Nutrocker." But ELP were and always will be a tightly knit unit, who, though well rehearsed, give the impression that much of their stage act is adlibbed. After several listenings, one gets the feeling that ELP's "Pictures At An Exhibition" is nothing more than their own interpretation of Mussorgsky's interpretation. And that in itself is not bad at all! ELP have always displayed an incredible uniqueness for being able to perform both classical music and jazz. Much of this ability if not all, is directly attributed to the musical training of one Keith Emerson. Emerson, as you recall, was the founder of The Nice some years back. With them, he did much of his experiment- ing and planning -but the magic wasn't there. But Emerson's affiliation with Greg Lake and Carl Palmer touched off an immediate understanding between them which, unfortunately, excluded their audiences. You see, the screams and shouts are for Emerson, Lake & Palmer-not for "Pictures At An Exhibition," or "Knife Edge," or for the occasional return to "Rondo" or "America!" Of the tens of thousands who will inevitably go out and buy a copy of ELP's 'Pictures,' how many will also buy a copy of the original work for comparison? The point is that Emerson, Lake & Palmer have chosen to perform "Pictures' and to have it released as a live album. And to fully appreciate their interpretation, one must also be familiar with the work in its original form. By doing so, the final round of applause will signal an appreciation for ELP, for the work of art, and for its author. kenny kerner (cont'd on p. 30)

HOLLYWOOD: T. REX-REBORN AND BOPPING. Since T. Rex has finally begun to achieve some degree of the fame the group has long deserved, it is almost pointless to speak of their older, pre -electric days. Or is it? There are two albums on Blue Thumb, "Tyrannosaurus Rex" and "Uni- corn," music that's been described as everything from a rock version of The In- credible String Band to a rock extension of 30's jazz. The key word, of course, is "rock." The music is a force that is a part of leader Marc Bolan to an extent that may be unmatched in any other musician. Bolan, in town to promote his most recent Reprise album, "Electric Warrior," took time off to discuss some of his early days with us. Bolan's first major break came when he was hired by producer Simon Napier-Bell to join a group called John's Children. "It was a session group-people like Jimmy Page played on their first single, 'Smashed, Blocked.' The record was a hit, and so, Simon was working with John Hewlitt, the bassist with the group, to put something together. They wanted a flashy lead guitarist, somebody like a Pete Townshend. So I joined the group." It was a period Bolan doesn't like to discuss much now, but the group had a couple more hits (one, "Desdemona," a Bolan composition) and cut an album to which applause was overdubbed ("They spent more time putting the audience tracks on it than the musicians had spent in the studio") and released as "live." The first major determination of direction for Bolan came when he was doing a TV program. "It was my third or fourth and Jimi Hendrix' first. It was right at the beginning of his solo career, and he was worried about his voice. He heard me singing and told me 'with a voice like that, you'll be a star.' I respected his opinion, and liked his music. So I worked at putting my voice with what was roughly his music. I've gotten past that stage now, but that was the original idea." Bolan's rock roots don't put him into the "revival" category, even though he's recorded "Summertime Blues" as a throw -away "B" side and despite that "Little Queenie" bit at the end of "Bang a Gong" ("Why did I put it in? How could I not put it in?") No, T. Rex's music is nothing, if not contemporary. Perhaps, until now, they've just been a bit ahead of their time. todd everett (cont'd on p. 30)

Wurlitzer Names EDITORIAL: ChiCoin Unleashes Pat Bilotta Its The Route Manager Rodeo Target Gun W. NYS Distrib There's something quite unique about that fellow With Multi Features we call the "route manager". He doesn't own the operation but the better of our paid managers act as if they did. They are a combination of master mechanic, record programmer, financier and public relations liaison between the route and the location. The bigger the route they work for, the better the dollar they take home in salary and the fancier the title they prefix their signature with on mail. Route managers usually start off as collectors or mechanics, and gradually work their way up thru the operational ranks to take the place of the opera- tor -owner in top management. Many large operators are in a state of well-earned "semi -retirement" today because they had the good fortune of having an honest pro on the staff who could run the "hot seat" with responsibility. Others, reluctant to "give up" the bitter-sweet thrills of working on the front line of the route, can't bring themselves to give up any of the more important tasks to route people, and then won- der, years later, why there's nobody on the staff who can take over when retirement comes.

C:ShbOX/ Round The Route "IMITATION IS THE MOST SINCERE FORM EASTERN FLASHES JERSEY JOTTINGS-Barry Feinblatt of United Billiards, Inc., says that the OF FLATTERY!" Zenith model United table is the model that has the multiple price drop chute that will accept 5¢, 10¢, 25¢ combinations and game pricing is adjustable. The Zenith series is available in all sizes. That includes the Bunny Pool and the United tables from the 100 up to the 500 sizes. Barry further says that operators are highly pleased with this innovative feature in coin -operated tables. The United Crest is the model with the standard push chute. Barry also reports that the used equipment division the United Amusements, Intl Inc., has been very active and used equipment sales have been good. The biggest problem has been a serious shortage of used equipment, especially in guns, pins and music machines. Also, there has been considerable interest in the ALCA UFO, possibly because of the shortage of certain used pieces. Operator Anthony DeGano (Ace Automatic Novelty) in Belmar says that they are now in a relatively quiet season, so far as location action is concerned. The time is well used though, says Anthony. It's a time to start planning equipment needs for the spring upswing and this requires plenty of shopping around for equipment. Talked with Bruce Kawut of Bruce Amusements Corp., in Fords. Bruce also reports that things are quiet and does not see any equipment changes or de- velopments that will start a fire, at least at present. Music is still holding pretty good and locations are preparing for a slack period. Bruce says, now is the time for refurbishing and servicing each location with the latest records and the best equipment. Gave a call to Cannon Coin Machine Co., in Haddonfield, but we were informed that operator Harry Witsen was on the route. Got the impression though that things were going along ok. Little LP distributor Bernie Yudkofsky of Gold Mor Distributing has a four pack- age RCA release and Bernie reminds operators that it will be available at their one -stops. The package is grooved to fill all musical tastes. The Guess Who LLP 'So Long, Bannatyne' has several selections with a boogie back beat flavor, "Grey Day," and "Pain Train," are especially in the jukebox bag. Charlie Pride contains the Fred Rose & Hank Williams all time favorite, "Kaw-liga." FIRST WITH THE BEST! The Best of Frankie Carle and his piano artistry is going to please many juke box fans with the organ and bass backgrounds on selections like, "Sunrise Serenade," "Blue Moon" and "Falling Leaves." Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton 'Porter 'Stanley Cup Hockey" Wayne and Dolly Rebecca' will capture plenty of juke coin with "Silver Sandles" and "Would You Run That By Me One More Time."
