SERENADE 1996; 1996) With two successive smash hits (“Wish You Were Here” and “Fanny”) to his 12. GENTLEMEN BE SEATED (Minstrel Show) (Epic LN 3238) credit, Harold Rome has established himself as a top-drawer tunesmith and versifier. But you won’t find any of his popular songs from these shows on this 13. Jackie Gleason (Capitol EAP NIGHT WINDS W 717; 717) Heritage entry. The platter features Rome as he sings 13 of his compositions 14. OKLAHOMA Original Movie Cast (Capitol SAO 595; SDM 595) on love and civilization in general.

HIS SPARKLING STRINGS Lawrence Welk (Coral CRL 57011; EC 82020) by Rome’s satiric sense in the bouncy “Investigation”. For those who enjoy specialty items, “Rome-Antics” will be a happy purchase. 15. THE EDDY DUCHIN STORY Original Movie Score (Decca DL 8289) 15. MR. WONDERFUL Original Broadway Cast (Decca DL 9032) “THE CHAMPAGNE MUSIC OF LAWRENCE WELK”—Epic LN 3247 (1-12" LP) BUBBLES IN WINE; LINGER AWHILE; AIN'T SHE SWEET; MY DONNA LEE; DADDY'S LULLABY; THAT'S A PLENTY; BEER BARREL POLKA; MY MAN; ONE-TWO-THREE-KICK; UNFORTUNATE BLUES; ONE LOOK AT YOU; KENTUCKY'S WAY OF SAYIN' GOOD MORNIN'. The congenial mood set by Lawrence Welk’s ork and vocalists are available in agreeable amounts on this Epic entry. Taking his cues from nostalgic num- bers Welk’s amiable crew meet the occasion in their characteristically breezy New Schenectady Shop fashion. If this platter plays follow-the-leader with Welk’s other pressings it should be chart material in short order.
“THE MASTER’S TOUCH-CARMEN CAVALLARO”—Decca DL 8288 (1-12" LP) THE LAMP IS LOW; MOON LOVE; TONIGHT WE LOVE; MY REVERIE; YOUR HOME IS IN MY ARMS; STARS IN MY EYES; FULL MOON AND EMPTY ARMS; ON THE ISLE OF MAY; I'M ALWAYS CHASING RAINBOWS;, OUR LOVE; DREAM OF LOVE; INTERMEZZO. The contributions of serious composers to Tin Pan Alley are many. On this Decca disk, 12 adaptations of classical pieces are delivered in the classy key- board style of Carmen Cavallaro. The beautiful melody of Tchaikowsky’s Second Movement to his “Fifth Symphony” (“Moon Love”) and Chopin’s “Fantasie-Impromptu” (“I’m Always Chasing Rainbows”) are two of the set’s extremely well-known selections. Cavallaro’s expert control of these classical tidbits makes for noble mood music. A strong follow-up LP to his current best seller, “The Eddy Duchin Story”.
“JANE MORGAN”—Orchestra Conducted By Martin Gold—Kapp KL-1023 * (1-12" LP) IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING; I'LL BE SEEING YOU; BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME; I'LL BE
YOURS; IT'S EASY TO REMEMBER; THANKS FOR THE MEMORY; IF I LOVED YOU; WHEN
THE WORLD WAS YOUNG; A WOMAN NEEDS TO BE TOLD; I CAN DREAM CAN'T I;
INSENSIBLEMENT; I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TIME IT WAS. Songstress Jane Morgan, an American who achieved fame and fortune in Paris, sets an admirable, romantic mood on this Kapp release. Jane has a soft and sweet way that’s perfectly suited to the more or less wistful standards on the program. Some of the songs (i.e. “When The World Was Young”) are treated delightfully by Jane with French lyrics. Jane’s enthusiastic following here will find her in some of her best vocal moments. Photo of Jane on the package should be a selling point in itself.
“CHA CHA CHA AT EL MOROCCO”—Tito Puente and Others—Tico LP 1025 (1-12" LP) YORK The employees of Van Curler’s Record SCHENECTADY, NEW — SUBE Y BAJA EL TELON; BESAME MUCHO; CHA CHA CHA DE LA PRINCESA; SKIP TO MY Store in Schenectady, New York are pictured just before opening the doors LOU; TERRONCITO; TITO'S CHA CHA CHA, TARDE DE CHA CHA CHA; TOTIRI MUNDACHI; on their first day in the new store. Several months ago the old Van Curler QUERUBIN; BEER BARREL MERENGUE; CHA CHA CHABELA; CHA CHA GUAGUANCHO. shop burned to the ground. Tico’s latest dance floor platter features one of the idols among cha cha cha lovers, Tito Puente. The reason for this admiration is amply answered here as Puente rhythmically romps through the material. Cha cha cha-merengue revisions of “Besame Mucho”, “Skip To My Lou” and “Beer Barrel Polka” are cleverly done. Pepe Luis and the ork also perform on the waxing. Good name value.
“SONGS BY RUSTY DRAPER”—Mercury MG 20118 (1-12" LP) THE SHIFTING WHISPERING SANDS; LIGHTHOUSE; THE WORKSHOP OF THE LORD; LAST FRONTIER; MELANCHOLY BABY; I'M GOING TO MOVE TO THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN; I'M MAD; LONESOME SONG; LAZY MULE; LAZY RIVER; NO HELP WANTED; KNOCK ON WOOD. That important vocal trait in today’s pop hits called “drive” has oeen a feature of Rusty Draper’s popularity. This Mercury issue has Rusty performing 12 songs of a popular and folk-like nature. Rusty’s treatment of the old standby “Lazy River” is a rock n’ roll revision of the tune that the singer overpowers with polish. A good change of pace in Draper’s normal up-tempo spark is a strong, but respectful, chanting of “The Workshop Of The Lord”. An eager teen-age crowd assure solid sales for the waxing.
“THE SWAN”—Music Recorded Directly From The Soundtrack Of The M-G-M Picture—MGM E3399 (1-12" LP) Just about the whole world realized the parallel in Grace Kelly’s portrayal in “The Swan” and her actual marriage to a prince. MGM Records has released the original soundtrack score from the film which, with bubbling melodies and fairy-tale like beauty, captures the essence of the Ferenc Molnar play. Under Johnny Green’s able direction of the MGM studio orchestra the Bronislav Kaper score is expertly performed. Miss Kelly’s fascinating face is taken full advantage of on the package. Grace Kelly is the big selling factor here.
“LOVE IS A MANY-SPLENDORED THING”—Richard Hayman Orch.—And All Time Motion Picture Favorites—Mercury MG 20123 (1-12" LP) RUBY; LOVE IS A MANY-SPLENDORED THING; SADIE THOMPSON'S SONG; GINA; EYES OF BLUE; HI-LILI, HI-LO; I'LL CRY TOMORROW; TERRY'S THEME; VERA CRUZ; ANNA; JOEY'S THEME; THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY. A collection of recently popular motion picture theme music gives Richard Hayman enough ground-work to give his harmonica and ork a good lush work- out. The instrumental coloring that takes place in such items as the “High And The Mighty” and “Vera Cruz” would do justice as background music in a DeMille spectacle. The disk will sell on both Hayman’s popularity and the photo of Jennifer Jones and William Holden on the package.

CLASSICAL
SHOSTAKOVITCH : Symphony No. 10 In E Minor, Op. 93—Czech Philhar- monic Orchestra, Karel Ancerl, Conductor—Decca DL 9822 (1-12" LP) Shostakovitch’s latest and heralded symphonic work seems to be finding its way, more and more, into the releases of major record firms. This Decca waxing of the profound and moving work is completely adequate. Recorded in Europe, the disk has a fine reading of the work by Karel Ancerl conducting the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. Outstanding sound. The package should be good news for symphonic music lovers. MOZART: Concerto No. 12 In A Major For Piano And Orchestra (K. 414) Concerto No. 13 In C Major Piano And Orchestra (K 4-15) Cor de Groot, Piano—Willem Van Otterloo Conducting The Vienna Symphony Orchestra Epic LC 3214 (1-12" LP) Epic’s latest contribution to the Mozart bi-centennial are two of the composer’s piano and orchestra concertos.

Famed Willem Van Otterloo conducts the Vienna Symphony with deft authority and JOE control. The 12th and 13th concertos for piano and orchestra haven’t made derise the record rounds too often.

To completely recondition such machines, the reconditioner must add onto his price the cost of transportation to obtain these machines, the labor, parts and supplies needed to recondition the machines, plus the cost of cartons, crates and labor for Manufacturers and date of game’s release listed.

Here is the phonograph that sets new standards for the automatic music world. A
phonograph built to the exacting requirements of Wurlitzer quality . . . incorporating
Wurlitzer matchless cabinet beauty, incomparable high-fidelity tone, fascinating
Carousel Record Changer action . . . and, in addition, the extra programming
possibilities of 200 selections.
Style-wise, the Wurlitzer Centennial Model 2000 is basically and purposely patterned
to the brilliantly beautiful Centennial Model 1900. Its chrome-trimmed dome,
exquisitely colored record changer compartment, Swedish modern pilasters, grace-
fully contoured rigidized metal grille with stainless steel kickplate are identical.
Its selector panel is sensationally different. So is PLAYRAK, a new coin registration
unit that makes possible half-dollar play . . . another Wurlitzer first in coin-operated
music.
In every way, the Wurlitzer 200-Selection Centennial Model is certain to prove a
terrific location-getter with an earning potential unparalleled in the industry.
It is available in Persian Turquoise, Glacier White, Chinese Black and Desert Haze
cabinet finishes. THE RUDOLPH WURLITZER COMPANY, NORTH TONAWANDA. NEW YORK
THE 104-S ELECTION WURLITZER MODEL 1900
Companion to the Centennial Model 2000, the Wurlitzer 1900 continues to
establish itself as a favorite phonograph in top locations from coast to coast.

ECTIONS PLUS NEW PLAY-INSPIRING SELECTOR PANEL
Tune picking on the Wurlitzer 2000 is accurate, easy, fascinating fun in itself. The fixed program holder offers 40 top tunes in the center panel, plus 20 more
on each of the roto-page “books" that flank it. A full 80 selections visible at all times! A finger touch on the illuminated bar at either end of the selector panel
power-turns the pages. Each “book" is separately powered and actuated, thus enabling two or more patrons to view the program independently. NEW PLAYRAK COIN REGISTER
PLAYRAK, a welcome advancement in coin registra-
tion, is available with single coin entry accepting nickels, dimes and quarters, or with double coin entry also accepting half-dollars. Operator can pre-set the number of plays from one to ten per coin — widest variety ever offered on any phonograph. 50c PLAY NOW POSSIBLE
With its double coin entry and twin slug rejector pro-
vision, the Model 2000 makes it possible to incor- porate 50c play. This phonograph may be ordered from the factory with a single entry for coins of 5-10-25c denomination and a single slug rejector, or with a double coin entry and a second slug rejector as optional equipment to feature 10-25-50c play. The
phonograph is equipped with a housing for twin slug rejectors with electrical contacts installed. Either slug rejector may be inserted or removed in a matter of seconds. Never before has a coin mechanism been so
simple and easy to service. If the 50c coin adaption
is desired after delivery, the conversion to twin slug
rejectors is merely a matter of slipping in a double coin entry casting, one coin chute, and snapping the 50c slug rejector into the place permanently provided
for it. TONE THE INDUSTRY HAS EVER KNOWN
