osanne Cash has always been a favorite around here since her first Columbia LP, Right And Wrong. We were somewhat startled after hearing her new LP, Rhythm And Romance, released after a two year layaway. The lyrical content told a serious story of emotional struggle and hard times. Instrumentally, the album reflected that. The mix, at times, could be both blood warm and cold as steel. It's one of those LP's (like John Lennon's first solo LP with the Plastic Ono Band) where the grooves tell a story of the ups and downs of the celebrated human experience. After seeing her on the David Letterman Show, "The less neurotic, the more willing you are to take we had to talk to her. Rosanne Cash is one of the easiest laughs you'll ever talk to. The bad times seem to be pretty much chances and be aggressive... it's bound to behind her now.

Don't be deceived by the THREE O'CLOCK and EURYTHMICS chart drops. Both are receiving CHARTBOUND excellent airplay but were squeezed out by the torrid new releases previously mentioned.

ZEITGEIST (DB) "Change" SCRITTI POLITTI (WB) "Perfect" After a long, strung out series UPTONES (415) "KUSA" HOOTERS (Columbia) "Zombies" of single releases, SCRITTI POLITTI is just now establishing itself as a forminable dance band ALTERNATIVE ACTION that will finally see success from album airplay on Alternative radio. The much anticipated show- they remain underlined at #2. Their sound walks the fine line down between NEW ORDER and TALKING HEADS are between Alternative and bright R.E.M. for number one was no CERTIFIED with an astounding pop music. The quirky bass and let -down. These two albums went move from #21 to #3! The HEADS synthesizer hooks are catchy but head -to -head and soared far are turning in number one not quite cliche. CUPID & PSYCHE above the rest with over 80% of statistics, but the current '85 includes all of their recent all Alternative stations reporting competition is monumental. At singles, plus an assortment of new both in heavy rotation. The #3 they find themselves a fair material that highlights Green result was a flat-out tie for distance behind the top two Cartside's high pitched number one, with the tie going while holdiing a comfortable lead distinguishable voice, SCRITTI to the incumbent. You lave to above the rest. POLITTI are an Alternative band knock the champ out and take BRYAN FERRY and STYLE that possesses a strong potential the crown away. Considering COUNCIL are holding their own to crossover - possibly in a but the fact that R.E.M. has only with little room to advance, major way (ask Mark Shands @ little threatening their current been out for two weeks and 195 in Miami). Peter they're still gaining airplay - positions. 30 June 2/, 1985 / the GAVIN REPORT
