Every artist on Playboy is a big name.

All three of them. After all, it's not every day you start a new racord company. And it's not every day you sign three artists likE Tim Rose, Hudson, and Jim Sullivan. So, for the next three months, we're going all out. February March and April are Tim Rose, Hudson, and Jim Sullivan months al P ayboy. During those months, we'll be doing some of the most a>.ieisive and extravagant merchandising and promotion you've seer it some time. ft's sort of our 1972 version of the old "Artist of the Month" promotion. Only with three artists and three months, it's bound to be three times as good. What do we call our promotion? Well, it doesn't really he. ea name. But it it did, it would probably be "Artists of the Month Moi41-hs. '

www.americanradiohistory.com Tim hose "Try as :hay nay, no one has managed to capture tie sheer maniac intensity of Rose's singing." That's what one British critic wrote about Tim Rose. And, if preliminary reactions mean anything, we expect critics and public alike are going to delight in Tim's new album. (Rose aficionados, you'll remember, are a loyal bunch that can be found anywhere from London to San Francisco.) Produced in London, by (of -ame), this album includes new originals by e rran who wrote for artists like Jimi endrix, Jeff Beck, and The , oor,arne a few. We think this is Tim's best ever.

Hudson There are a number of young, new groups around, but we doubt nany to equal Hudson. Actually, J they're the HLdson brothers from Portland, Oregon. Bill, Mai*, and Brett, aged 22, 20, and 18 have bee-' singing together since they were child -en. Which makes them very young oldtimers. n fact, when you hear their album we think you'll agree it makes them "old pros"-r's filled with that kind of perfection. ;For exampl the new single b "Leavin', Its

NEW YORK-THE LP PACKAGE: IT'S HOW YOU MAKE IT NICE There was a time when people bought albums for the music. It went without saying that a new Beach Boys album would bear a photo of the group carrying their favorite surf board. That 'Meet The Beatles' would contain a dreary looking likeness of the fab four on the front cover. The Four Seasons prided themselves on their chart record and not on the full color glossy that was plastered on almost every one of their album releases. But all that is past. It was yesterday. It's a different era now. Time was when we ran home, tore the cellophane off the LP, and immediately placed the album on the turntable. We knew very little about stereophonic, and quadrosonic could just as easily have been a word invented by Rod Serling. We owned phonographs-not stereo equipment. And headphones were used to keep the cold out of our ears on these snowy winter nights. There are many who feel that the music was better in those days. That it was more easily understood. Less complex. Less abstract. But even these people must agree that the industry has made giant strides in the actual packaging and art work that goes into the making of our present day albums. Like the music which went from simple to compound to complex, so too did the album cover concepts evolve. Up until the mid 60's, album covers were pretty bland and standardized. It got to the point where one could almost guess, with accuracy, the packaging de- vices to be used for all of the major acts at that time. But then, an album was released, which, in my opinion, was distinctive for two reasons. The LP was en- titled "Freak Out," by The Mothers Of Invention. The concept employed was the use of a color negative reproduced on the front cover showing the group mem- bers. The package was also distinctive because it was the first two -record set (to my knowledge) issued by a rock group. And it was the start of a trend still prevalent today. About the same time as 'Freak Out,' two other albums bearing distinctive properties were issued. The first, by a group called Love, which Elektra claims was the first LP to use color photos on both front and back; and the second, "Mr. Man," by The Byrds which made popular the use of the fish eye lens. Moving into the late 60's, we discovered that albums covers were beginning to become complete, time consuming projects. The very first revolutionary album cover released in this country came to us via England courtesy of The Small Faces. The LP, completely circular, was called "Ogden's Nutgone Flake," and apart from the cover, the album went completely unnoticed in America. The first original piece of cover art work to be recognized as such, would probably have to be Klaus Voorman's "Revolver" cover for The Beatles. The Roll- ing Stones followed with a magnificent still life photo on "Between The Buttons," and from that point on, things began to progress at an incredibly rapid pace. Of the San Francisco groups, only Quicksilver Messenger Service adapted a parti- cular style for their covers and remained with it to this day. Quicksilver employ the cartoon -like drawings which appear on most of their LP's including "Happy Trails," "Shady Grove," "What About Me," and "Just For Love." After original art work had blossomed into a way of life, the next major step was taken by who are credited with issuing the first 3- dimensional album cover via "Their Satanic Majesties Request." The only other (Cont'd on p. 34)

HOLLYWOOD-BATDORF AND RODNEY: OFF THE SHELF MAYBE, BUT HARDLY OFF THE RACK It was a typical afternoon in Norman Winter's posh Sunset Strip office. Jacob Weisel was sitting on a sofa with a copy of the October issue of Esquire, perusing the "Heavy 89." Charlie Barrett, on a chair nearby, was checking out photos from the Hollywood Wax Museum party printed in The Staff and The Los Angeles Flyer. The receptionist was out to lunch, and Norm was busy boxing quantities of "Mad- man Across the Water" for shipment to orphanages across the country, inserting fortune cookies and won ton from the Far East Terrace into boxes at random. We hated to break the routine, but it was well into lunchtime, and we had been promised the first exclusive trade paper interview with Batdorf and Rodney. We had turned down such an opportunity to meet a pianist named Reg Dwight, whose chief claim to fame at that point was once having played piano for Long John Baldry. We weren't going to flub it again. The two young singer -guitarists had met, as it turns out, in Las Vegas. John Batdorf had moved there from Los Angeles to escape the big -city pressures. "In Las Vegas, it gets so hot there's nothing to do but sit inside all day. There's one club out near the University where all the heads go, and that's about it for enter- tainment outside the casinos. The kids there are really starved for entertainment. John's father is a musician-a guitarist, in fact. He remembers playing with in a club in Albuquerque. Mark's father is jazz trumpeter Red Rodney. "He's recorded with and a lot of bands. He's made several albums, and each one is on a different label." The two sons struck up a friendship, working out a voice -plus -acoustic guitar style in which the two blend so easily they sound like brothers. After playing in Las Vegas for a while, the two returned to Los Angeles, where they began playing wherever they could, billing themselves as John and Mark. some friends The first time I saw them was on a Monday night at the Troubadour; of mine were going to audition. After hearing John and Mark, they were ready to pack up and go home. Roger Perry said something cryptic about John and Mark being "ready to sign with a major label." Sure. That's what they all say. But the two were awfully good. Next thing anybody heard it was November, and a duo called Batdorf and Rodney were second -billed to Dave Mason at the Troubadour. Ahmet Ertegun (for (Con't on p. 34)

MY HANG-UP IS YOU-Freddie Hart-Capitol +'tiMsr,- 11014 With two singles and an album that have climbed to the upper reaches of the charts, it looks as though Freddie Hart has a sure -shot hit with this album, named after his most recent single. Freddie's mournful and moving style ties in well with his own compositions such as "Love Makes The Difference" "The Greatest Gift Of All" and "Jesus Is My Kind Of People," the latter showing heavy single potential. Freddie also does well with top rate outside material such as Harlan Howard's "The 'es Key's In The Mailbox" and the J. Foster/G. Shepard tune "She Belongs To Me."

INNERVIEW - The Statler Bros. - Mercury 61358 Looking inside the Statler Bros., we can find many interesting points that don't come to the surface, but nonetheless add to the foursome's well -honed image. For example, only two of the Statlers are really brothers, and none of them have the last name of Statler. But having JA (MENO sung together since the mid -1950's, Phil Balsey, Harold DeWitt, Harold Reid and Don Reid prove that if blood is thicker than water, then music is even thicker than blood as a binding force. This new Mercury collection leads off with the current single, "Do You 'HEARTACHES BY Remember These" and includes "I'd Rather Be Sorry," "Daddy," and "Since Then."

TOM T. HALL (Mercury 73278) Jeff Young Me And Jesus (3:20) (Hallnote, BMI-T. T. Hall) Blending a large portion of his popularity with a good helping of old time re- ligion, and seasoned with a catchy arrangement, Tom T. Hall has cooked up another hit recipe that will be quickly devoured by hungry fans. Flip: "Coot Is on his way to his Marseilles Blues" (3:29) (same credits). BILLY "CRASH" CRADDOCK (Cartwheel 210) Ain't Nothin' Shakin' (But The Leaves On The Trees) (2:12) (no credits) This tune has a clever novelty approach without becoming over -cute as many novelty tunes do. The melody is bright, the lyrics are catchy, and Billy's sincere "Sweet City Woman" style convinces us that he means what he says. Should get top radio program- ming. Flip: "She's My Angel" (2:47) (Poperee, BMI-R. Chancey, J. Sahnger).

Rice #5045 DOLLY PARTON (RCA 0662) Touch Your Woman (2:40) (Owepar, BMI-D. Parton) Dolly Parton has done some very deep soul-searching in both writing and sing- ing this moving ballad that has a very -pop sound to it, highlighted by fine piano and drums. Should score with no trouble. Flip: "Mission Chapel Memories" (3:05) (Owepar, BMI-P. Wagoner, D. Parton).

JOHNNY DUNCAN (Columbia 45556) Fools (2:38) (Pi -Gem, BMI-J. Duncan) Johnny Duncan should follow his last hit with a self -penned ballad that em- ploys stirring lyrical imagery, sensitive musicianship and, most important, a melody that stays in your memory. Flip: no info available.

TONY BOOTH (Capitol 3269) The Key's In The Mailbox (2:18) (Tree, BMI-H. Howard) Tony Booth should follow up his last chart success with a catchy uptempo Harlan Howard tune that features a lyrical twist. Flip: "The Devil Made Me Do That" (2:12) (Blue Book, BMI-B. Owens).

JOHNNY TILLOTSON (Buddah 279) Make Me Believe (2:10) (Acuff -Rose, BMI-Newbury) Buddah Records makes its bow in the country market with this single by old- time rock balladeer Johnny Tillotson, known previously for tunes such as "Poetry In Motion." This song is a moving ballad that sets Tillotson squarely into the country market, and stands to score very nicely with the proper promo. Flip: no info available.

JIMMY MARTIN (Decca 32934) I'd Like To Be Sixteen Again (And Know What I Know Now) (2:55) (Sunny Moun- tain, BMI-D. Suiter, B. Williams, C. Mank) Jimmy Martin gives an extra dose of bounce to his new single that involves wishful thinking about being younger all over again. The happy banjo and good- time fiddle should help break the tune into the charts. Flip: "Lonesome Prison Blues" (2:52) (Champion, BMI-J. Martin, H. Donny).

BILL PHILLIPS (United Artists (MGM 14358) 50879) God Love You (2:50) (Acuff -Rose, I Am, I Said (2:58) (Prophet, AfS- BMI-R. Orbison, J. Melson) Roy Or - CAP-N.

Has 'Dune Buggy' All -Star Features Never Say Die Novelty Unit The garland of victory goes out to Attorney Warren Wolfe of Los Angeles this week for doing the so-called "impossible"-legalizing flipper game operation in that enormous West Coast metropolis. Wolfe, with the active participation (and funding) of many in our industry, strove for over two years to secure the sweet victory on Friday, Feb. 11th when Superior Court Jus- tice Eugene Sax ruled a prohibitive 1939 municipal law unconstitutional. The decision holds clear financial meaning for the Los Angeles trade, their distributors and the flipper game manufacturers. For the remaining states and municipalities of the country where anti-pingame leg- islation exists, we think the L.A. victory offers an in- comparable precedent which they may use to open up their own areas. We also think Attorney Wolfe personally has taken a giant step into the coinbiz legislative arena, and his wisdom and cooperation should be eagerly sought by all whose business and moral principles are repelled by laws which prohibit amusement flippers out of hand.
