OUT SEPT 27th The fourth album by onefSLPDEP3 In the first ever HOLOGRAM SLEEVE (strictly limited edition - UK only-normal price) 14 October 2, 1982 HERE'S NO business like shoe business if you want to make money, says Junior T - but music is what matters to him. The 25-year-old singer of 'I Can't Help If used to make more money putting sotes on shoes than soul Into the chans. " All that's changed for me since 'Mama Used To Say' Is the workload. I still drive my old Capri. The only thing that I've bought is a wardrobe - It's the only thing I can afford at the moment," he says. But it won't be for long, as Junior has reaped considerable gains for his excellent trio of singles and a solid debut album. "I used to dream about people interviewing me and doing good write-ups about me. It was a lifelong ambition to get to the stage I was at last year. I don't regret It. It was great. Now the only thing that matters to me ls the music." When the hard British mix of 'Mama Used To Say' first hft last year critics were quick to lavish praise on the young singer. But Junior doesn"t seem to have changed one iota from the time when the single came out. "I don't live in a fantasy world, so I didn't feel any diffe,ent being called things l.ike the great black British hope." ha says. "I know myself that I have a hall of a long way to go. but I'm learning as fast as I can." He's even learning to play keyboards, which wlM help his songwriting - currently he has to hum his arrangements to his producer and partner Bob Carter. "I just see myself as a writer who one day will write on the same par as the great writers In America. I would like a Junior/Bob Carter production to be seen as being as good as a Quincv Jones Job. There's no way we are there yet. Anyone who could take a bad song like Donna Summer's 'Love Is In Control (F'mger On The Trigger)' and make it sound good is frttle short of a genius. In about 20 years time I'd llke to be et that stage." LREADY, THOUGH. his emphasis ls on the music in the grooves rather than stardom. A "In my first interviews last year I said that British bands would actuaRy be taking over In the years to coma. It's beginning to happen. The music here is fresher and the approach Is different. We're not all stars. We don't need the Cadillaca and the furs. In Britain wa are just glad that what we do is what people want and feel pleased they enjoy it," he says. He says that some British bands have lost their impetus - sening more image than sounds. "The record business is declining. Why? Because the bands out there aren't original enough anymore or pushing themselves to make It good. So many bands live and push the Image of glamour that when they come back to write they have nothing say - they just can't relate to the people who buy their records. All they're trying to do is live like somebody else ... like David Bowle. If you push the image alone you leave what you're in there for behind. "Last year everybody seemed to be kicking hard and taking on the world but now they aren't looking to do something positive - they all seem to be on a downer." Junior is a man in control of his destiny. His needs ere smaU but his ambition great. "Tve done the trip with the big car when I was raking In the money as a shoe repairer. All I really need is a good place for my girl. Nadia. and my son, Dita. A place to write songs that matter to me and, hopefully, to other people." by Mike Gardn,r JUNIOR: 'G/amourJ Cobblers to that!' • Uetoaer .t., ll::18.t. \5 E IS viewed by Proceeds from the event will and middle-class - as are a lot Pops addictive.

Such was the case wirh mutant rockabillies, the Meteors. 'Muranr' is their word, not mine, as you might guess from the title oftheir single, 'Muran/ Rock'. Singer Paul explains: "Mutant rockabilly is what we call it because we 'vs tBken rockabilly and changed it. We --ve put B bit of punk in it and made it more lively. " Don't the Meteors worry that they're harking back too heavily? "Everybody's style comes from THE METEORS: lteading for tt.. atars way back", says Paul. "There's nothing totally original.
