Comparisons to the Standells (whose 1966 hit "Dirty Water" is the centerpiece of the Inmates' set, for all intents and purposes) and the Seeds are most appropriate here. At times, the Inmates can sound uncannily like those two groups, and the musicians project a similar aggressive world -weariness in their poses. Of course, the Standells and the Seeds vanished into nothingness, and the Inmates have it in them to follow suit. Make no mistake, this group is lively and entertaining, but leaves this nagging feeling that there may not be a lot of substance behind all the proper playing.

Record World takes special pride in announcing a tribute to an industry veteran who has helped define the crucial breed apart: John Kaplan.

Now chief executive of The liandleman Co., John Kaplan has built a 34 -year music career on the classic bala ice cf vision, skill and persistence that typifies our industry's growth from "mom and pop" regional roots to its current strength as a multi -billion dollar global entertainment force. From his beginnings as an independent distributor, where he helped shape the expansion of that sector's rr arketir g involvement with its product, to his more recent impact on the style and substance of high -volume rack. job- bing as an architect for the liandleman Company's role as a rack leader, John Kaplan sustained per- sonal as well as professional respect from the music community. In March, Record World will trace that story through the eyes of that community's most successful executives, many of them beneficiaries of Kaplan's own growth as friends and associates of the Detroit legend.

Disco File (Continued from page 16) King's Court about the only new wave performers who are able to make direct reference to disco without satirizing it heavy-handedly. The song itself, co -written by Moroder and Blondie lead Deborah Harry, is unavoidably catchy, a single smash for sure. On the dance floor, "Call Me" 's wild pace risks energy burn -out over eight minutes, but subtle changes in texture keep the cut fresh, while key changes and stops provide extra jolts of power. This collaboration can't help but further both Moroder's and Blondie's reputations as stylistic pioneers. "Love and Passion" (6:54), sung by Cheryl Barnes, also exhibits a rock influence, but in the context of a steamy, sleazy rhythm track that jerks eccentrically forward. Barnes has a strong high register, and she sings in a loud, intense wail that threatens to overpower the growling backup. The result is double -threat, sledgehammer impact. Try this one on a wild-eyed early morning crowd. NOTES: To come, details on new music by Lene Lovich (Stiff/ Ben E. King Epic), whose new "Flex" album is mostly dance -rock; RCA recording star Evelyn "Champagne" King appeared last week at Avery Fisher (Atlantic), who is back with Bert deCoteaux, the producer of his Hall where she opened for Kool And The Gang with a brand new act, brand new 1974 hit, "Supernatural Thing;" and the Players Association (Van- band and new material. After the show she enjoyed some backstage clowning division vice president, marketing and talent acquisi- guard).
