BY JUAN RODRIGUEZ Montreal - Jesse Winchester arrived in Montreal early in the summer of 1967. He moved be- cause of the Draft Jos e WìncbpIer Now Winchester has an album out (on Ampex), produced by the Band's Robbie Robertson. It is a firm, beautifully per- formed and composed record, one that will surely mark Win- chester as one of the important singer- songwriters. The fact that Robertson plays lead guitar on the album and that Levon Helm chips in on drums and mandolin here and there is bound to be of interest. But it is Winchester's album through and through, conveying a unique personal sensibility. Winchester's music is rich in its depth and heritage, as it is a consummation of everything he grew up with. His sound is clean, like the Band's, Southern, with measures of , gos- AMPEX I RECORDS pel, even jazz - whatever comes naturally. He sings as he writes, in a gentle but strong voice. He's a relaxed, perfectly paced singer, possessing beautiful ballad phrasing and plenty of funk on A10104 STEREO LP uptempo numbers. Winchester, like the best singer -songwriters, does not separate words, music and performance - it's all one thing. "It used to be that a song could get across all the feeling you wanted from very, very sim- ple words. Now the word has become more important. But, to me, I still like a sound song. I don't like a lotta words. The fewer the better, the simpler the better ... in everything." Winchester simply sings away, with nothing forced or put -on. The back -ups are fluid and mel- low, rocking and rolling and, at times, just being quiet about it. The album, recorded in To- ronto, is also a fine production AMPEX achievement for Robertson, RECORDS simply because he has remained Available on Ampex Stereo Tapes faithful to the singer.

Here's a preview 1 of where imusif is going.

We at Poppy Records have just released a very important album, PUZZLE, by the Mandrake Memorial. After the first two weeks of release, every important FM station in the country was playing this album.

Seij i Ozawa, one of the most brilliant young classical conductors in the world, had this to say about the album: "The idea they have is very great.

I love this recording. With some

recordings I can listen to only one selection, but this recording I love to hear from the very beginning, from the first note to the last." Fusion, a major rock paper, in a review of the album, called it "a symphony of the mind; one of the most important albums of the decade to come." We realize that in the next few months the Mandrake Memorial will become one of the important innovative groups in the rock movement. We invite you to become involved with one of the most important works of the 1970's. Poppy Records, distributed by RCA Records. POPPY
