the way Aerosmith has conquered Boston has been absolutely astounding. It began with their single, "Dream On." For five consecutive weeks, it had number -one phones on WVBF-FM. It's now No. 2 on WMEX and has been in the Top 10 there for .ur weeks. In the same four weeks it's gone from hitbound to o. 3 on WRKO. In nearby ?rovidence it's 6 at WPRO and 3 at WICE. And it's getting play at all the FM rockers in the area. But a record as big as "Dream On" can't be confined to one region. So bes_des Hartford and Albany, it's also on in Detroit (No. 25 right away), in Cincinnati, in Houston, in Columbus, in Chicago, in Tacoma and Sacramento; and it's picking up more stations and cities every day. The has sold more than 20,000 copies in Boston alone. And it's spreading so well, it's now climbing the national charts. Coinciding with the spread of the single and the album, there's a gigantic national tour with Mott ,insuring that Aerosmith's powerful music will be ringing in every small town and big city in the country.

In America it caught on first in and started spreading up and down the West Coast. Then, on- ward to the Midwest. It's just hit Chicago (WLS and WCFL) and it's now heading East.

As usual, Curtis' vocals are Bio (3:40) (Isalee, BMI-C.

Flip: Roll 'Em Pete (3:04) (MCA, RINGO STARR (Apple 1865) ASCAP-J. Turner). Photograph (3:59) (Richoroony, Ltd., BMI-R. Starkey, G.

A moderate paced rocker with a strong blues She's A Friend Of Mine (3:39) (Deerwood, BMI-D. Nix) feel and good vocal performance adds up to another solo Beatle success. Flip: Culled from his great "Hobo's Heroes And Street Corner Clowns" album, Down And Out (3:01) (Richoroony, Ltd., BMI-R. Starkey) this fine track should be the one to finally break Don wide open.

From the group's latest LP, "Closer To It!" comes this jazz rocker that's cer- tain to bring Brian Auger back to the charts. Progressive FM'ers should be LOBO (Big Tree 16,012) picking up on this one just as easily as many Top 40 rockers. The future's There Ain't No Way (3:14) (Kaiser/Famous, ASCAP-Lobo) looking good. Flip: Inner City Blues (3:24) (Jobete, BMI-M. Gaye). A rather unusual outing for Lobo, this up tempo country rocker, but his great lyrics are still inevidence and that means chart action in short order. Fans should once again rally round this top pop artist. Flip: no info, available.

Jim gave his love and goodness as if it belonged to everyone. He told me, last New Year's Day, that he enjoyed taking care of his son's 2AM bottle and diaper change because it gave him more time to spend with the boy, something he had precious little time for, in light of his heavy travel commitments.

PLASTIC TRAINS, PAPER PLANES-Susan Raye-Capitol ST -11223 Plastic Trains, Paper Planes, hit songs, won- derful voice and great production tend to make this album a sure fire smash hit. Susan, the girl next door, with that sweet charming voice has always been destined to be a superstar and this album could be the one do make her I NEED one. The title track which is also her present single is included with these other songs as my favorites, Whatcha Gonna Do With A Dog Like That, Top Of The Morning, Love At Eleven, SOMEBODY BOD Love Makes The World Go Round. The five others are good also. A note to keep in mind is that they are all Buck Owen's composition. SOMETIMES A MEMORY AIN'T ENOUGH- JOYRIDE -Mercury SRM-1.677 LEERY Jerry Lee Lewis is back with what can pos- MCA 40108 LEWIS sibly prove to be his biggest album to date. Included are his present chart single and title number of LP, plus Honky Tonk Wine, Ride Me Down Easy, The Morning After Baby Let Me Down, and seven others. Jerry has been an influential force in the world of music and this $1 %mamma,' krs ea album will lend more charism to his legend and definetly bring him many many more fol- lowers. Watch for this one to become a chart album in the next few weeks.

OVER THE HILLS TO THE POORHOUSE- LesterFlatt and Mac Wiseman-RCA APL1 0309 This new release has been greatly sought after following the pick hit "Waiting for The Boys To Come Home." Described as "a plea- surable touch of real Americana" this greatly diversified duo personifies the image. Incom- parable banjo and guitar work augmented by the sweet harmonies ofFlatt and Wiseman assure this album a secure spot on the charts. Included in the album are tunes that have not been played in over twenty years. This album proves itself a veritable treasure trove for the country buff. "When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold," Over the Hills to the Poorhouse," and "There's More Pretty Girls Than One" are of special interest. LOVERSVILLE-KennyVernon-Capitol ST - 11227 Kenny Vernon's new album is going to be a country chart buster. The title track Loversville embodies all the richness of Kenny's voice and was a recent pick on the singles charts. Ken- ny's creative ease is indicative of his love for country music, and his unmistakeable profes- sionalisminperformingit.His approach to love is fresh and human, and breathes new life into the ears of his avid fans. Tracks to take special note of are "Loversville," "Nothing But Lonely Between," and "That'll Be The Day" a Buddy Holly classic.

BUBBLING OVER--RCA APL1-0286-A An eagerly awaited album, Dolly Parton's new release will elicit immediate effervescence upon the initial listening, but then again isn't that what bubbling over isall about! "Travel- ing Man," Dolly's last chart single is included on the album. An easy listening blend of coun- try music atitsfinest this new album will prove an inevitable success for the inimitable Miss Parton. Some of the more outstanding tracks as are "Bubbling Over," "Sometimes an Old Memory Gets in My Eye," and "Love With Me."

IF YOU'VE GOT THE TIME,I'VE GOT THE SONG-Red Steagall-Capitol ST -11228 A lot of easy listenin' pleasure isin store for Red Steagall fans on this new LP. His re- cent pick "The Fiddle Man" is included on this latest release. Red's down to earth material is not only readily identifiable but honest, real, and most entertaining."If You've Got The Time, I've Got the Song," "Little Old Heart- breaker Me," and "Bring Back The Waltzes," are exemplary of Red's great diversification and excellent musicianship.

THE BOB WILLS ANTHOLOGY-Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys-Columbia KG -32416 Thisbeautiful album fullychronicles the Western Swing era of this country giant. Some of the recordings as "Mexicali Rose," "Old Fashioned Love," and "Steel Guitar Rag," date as far back as the middle thirties. A must for any country fan young or old.
