Appropriately enough, ·Poppy Seed two romatic records are working their way up through the racks. Nigel Olsson has released his debut LP. It is entitled Pantry (guess what?} Nigel. "The Healthiest Spot in Town~' The record is a creditable debut effort. Olsson was Elton John's drummer for many years. There was some mutual Healthy Snacks mus1ca1 intluence between John and Olsson . Nuts - Candies This cross-pollination is especially obvious in the "Cassey Blue" and "Au~evoir" suite, with its soaring, rock-classical O.ils - Books orchestration and persistent drumming. ·Although Olsson 's voice is scarcely rave material, it is Pufferbelly Station pleasant to listen to. His interpretive skills are good, too. He shows this Tn his renditions of Billy Joel 's "Goodbye to Hollywood, " which sounds like a 70s version of a 50s rock and rol I tune. All in all, Nioel is a nice. pleasant, romantic record. Another romantic album is George Harrison 's latest. I ... hesitate to mention its title, George Harrison. If McCartney was the Beatles' creative force, Harrison must have been the group's heart. His songs are full of hop~ springing eternal. This album is light enough and. friendly enough to make anyone but the worst grouch smile. · Almost all of the songs on the album are love songs. The two weak efforts are the only ones which don 't speak of romance in any way, "Faster" and "If You Believe." This last so ng is simplistic enough to make you want to rush and take a Dale Carnegie course on how to win friends and influence people. · This unmistakably George Harrison album is a worthwhile buy for Harrison fans , people who are young at heart and people who believe in spring.
