That image isn't likely to change, but a profile of Los Angeles in the January, 1979 issue offers some provocative food for thought-and a cursory look at the music biz, to boot. Writer William S.

Without further ado .. . BEST NEW BAND OF THE YEAR: Emerging as top dog from a num- ber of notable contenders is none other than the Amazing Marvin Suggs and his Muppaphone. Like his award, Suggs is nothing if not totally unique, totally mind -boggling and, perhaps, apropos of noth- ing. Hence this honor, which last year went to Dr. Teeth and the Don Dempsey, senior vice president and general manager, Epic/Portrait/Associated Electric Mayhem. For the uninitiated, the Muppaphone is composed labels has announced that Epic Records has formed a production arrangement with Brian Lane's Park Lane Records Ltd.
