"BISCUIT'S BOOGIE" PAA 0016 We knew we had a hit single in the King Biscuit Boy's "Official Music" album. How? We were told by md's and pd's all over the country. FM radio has wailed the "Biscuit's Boogie" track in all its 9 minute and 26 second glory but AM couldn't handle that. "Ask Paramount for an edited single." They did and we did and now the KING BISCUIT BOY hasa hit record that runs 3:17. Three minutes and seventeen seconds of the purest heat we could distill from the "Boogie." A hit single at three and seventeen from a hit album, at forty one and two.

THE INFLUENCERS. Display them next to the people they've influenced. Our blues reissues have been selling like rock albums. (More are on the way.) They're at the roots of today's most popular rock. So it makes sense to display Robert Johnson, Bessie Smith, Bukka White, and the rest, right beside this month's best sellers. And when this month's best sellers make way for the next crop of best sellers, keep the Influencers right where they are. Columbia's blues reissue series has a timeless appeal. And a timeless commercial potential. Let music keep on evolving. Havethe Influencers around and they'll keep on selling.
