The wistful quality of Williams/Nichols material has seldom been commercially interpreted by singles sellers. Having done this once before, the Carpenters STEVIE WONDER (Tamla 54202) return to the team's work for yet another masterpiece of all -format entertainment. Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer (2:53) (Jobete, BMI-Wonder, Wright) Flip: no info. Having reasserted his grasp on top forty with "We Can Work it Out," Stevie Wonder's last single is now picking up extra attention from MOR and THE OSMONDS (MGM 14259) top forties via its ballad flip.

NEW YORK - WHEN YOU PLUNGE YOUR HAND INTO THE JELLY JAR, WHAT DO YOU END UP WITH? (OR: HOW TO WEATHER VIOLENT CHANGEES, HOLD ON, AND SURFACE GOLDEN) 1964 was coming to a close. New York lay wanly under a distainful trampled carpet of soot and snow. The baleful breezes hovering in frigid conference over the Hudson and East Rivers swept in terrifying gusts through the cyclopean trenches of Manhattan, contemptuously spitting their burden of dusty hail and frozen ash masquerading brazenly as snow, at the rushing crowds. Those four fab moptops had broken the bond holding rock in thall some months ago, giving the music industry the most massive sales shot in the arm. The consumer was waking to the fact that there was more to pop than the Four Seasons, and Chubby Checker. The Fifth Beatle had made his appearance, and we all sat gued to WINS for first and exclusive news of 'The Boys' and/or anything vaguely musical emanating from Britain. It was a time of frenzy and joy. Into this wild scene were injected five guys called 'scruffy' by Murray the 'K', but in any case they played very raw American -styled R&B and wore their hair long enough to make the Beatles look short. They released an album called "The Rolling Stones" and, hoping to ride the crest of the first English musical wave, they came here for a tour. The public was unimpressed. They're so weird, y'know? And the tour's reception was as chilly as New York's winter weather. They played Manhattan's Academy of Music on 14th Street (not exactly Madison Square Garden) and barely filled it halfway. Very few people then, least of all the Stones, believed that seven years later they'd have their own label. But that's part of what makes this business fascinating. The Stones are the last of their kind; a dying breed of the musician/personality that the Beatles created and, now separately, continue. But the Stones are together. They've trudged through Hell and high water: drugs, police busts, intense negative Establishment reaction to their appearance, critical consternation, and tragic death within the group structure. They've fought powerfully and bravely; never compromising their music or their life style no matter what the strength of the opposition. And their music reflects this. It's strong, sure, virile, and vital. Their friendship, their love for each other through good and bad times has forged their music into a tight crystal entity that glows with earthy life. Play the Stones' albums in sequence and you find their lives spread out before you. The dependence on American R&B to get them through the first albums is obvious that those early Jagger -Richard gems like "Tell Me" and "The Singer Not The Song" contain the promise of what the group would be like when they matured. The middle albums with their search for the right musical paths to lead them away from imitation to pure Stonesmusic are fascinating in their potpourri of musical styles. Then "Their Satanic Majesties," the strangest but most experimental of their albums. They'd just left producer Andrew Loog Oldham their first producer. For the first time they were completely on their own. The Beatles, the Stones' long-time friends, had just released "Sgt. Pepper" to intense critical acclaim. Unsure of themselves, the Stones chose to emulate their friends. 'Satanic Majesties' was the result: a superbly evil album that was received poorly, and quite unfairly, by most critics. Yet, now, looking back, it stands up quite well as excellent, if rather tentative, music. The Stones' association with producer Jimmy Miller brought them into

what I think is their mature phase: music all their own based on hard R&B rhythms and a peculiar form of electrified country forms. Most of all, though, it was the material. Sure, they were playing better than they ever had in their lives (part of this seems to be due to the warm reception Mick Taylor received from both the fans and the group itself. Far from resenting his stepping into Brian Jones' place, the Stones listeners accepted him immediately. It was Taylor too, who apparently helped formulate the new Stones music through his lead guitar ideas), but it was Mick and Keith's songs that, ultimately, made "Beggar's Banquet" a beautiful LP. Since then, the duo have only gotten better and better. "Gimme Shelter" from the "Let It Bleed" album is not only the most incredible track the Stones have recorded, launching itself into instant immortality as a rock classic, but the title has become a watchword among millions of young people. Further Mick's forays into film, especially "Performance," have increased his stature as a personality immensely. "Sticky Fingers" the just released Stones album marks the appearance of their own label, Rolling Stones Records distributed through Atco, in one of the most publicized deals in the industry's history. It's now incumbent upon the group to live up to what's been going down. "Sticky Fingers" had (cont'd on page 24)

From the time she was quite small she carried a little notebook and wrote songs in it. She also learned to play piano and strum a guitar. Her first gig was in a factory in San Francisco where she typed numbers on a machine. But she took a day off each week and went knocking on doors in the music business. Paul Cooper at A&M heard and made her a secretary in the publicity dept. at A&M. She moved on to Mike Ochs office at Columbia as Mike's asst. in his press dept.

The arrangements, too, invariably display a delicacy and creativeness that invites numerous listenings to pick up all that's going on. They show a total awareness of the requirements of each song as a separate entity that's all too rare. So it's a pity that Train is no more. Still, it's not too late to listen to what e.v.I.

RARE EARTH-SOUNDS IN TIME It may seem a bit odd. For some reason, people can't understand what Rare Earth is doing on the Motown Zabel. The label that had produced superstars like The Supremes, the Temptations, The Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, and Gladis Knight, seemed least likely to sign a progressive rock/jazz group. But Motown, after expressing a desire to diversify, was introduced to Rare Earth via their manager, Ron Strasner. The label was so impressed that it offered the group a recording contract and its own record logo. It was a chance, and it paid off, Initially an underground group, the band's first album, "Get Ready," was released, and it was received enthusiastically. It remained on the pop charts for well over a year. From the LP, the title track was cut, and it served to increase the group's appeal to AM audiences as well.

And here's why. Matthews' Southern Comfort hit single, "Woodstock" (from their album, "Later That Same Year"), has been moving steadily up on the charts. They're also responsible for two other exceptional albums, "Matthews' Southern Comfort" and "Second Spring." Altogether, that's about two hours of comfort. That's enough to make anybody happy.
