The Best Pop Records Reviewed in Recent Months The levels on which Franklin sings this time are quickly established on the first track of each side. Side 1 begins with her successful single, "Mr. D.J.," which she wrote; Side 2 begins with "Without You"— much energy, little song.

Pye Records is a major British label that, like most British labels, would like to make a mark in the U.S. Its most recent effort is a reissue series titled "The Pye History of British Pop Music," which provides exam- ples of the music of the pop groups in- volved in the so-called "British invasion" that occurred in the wake of the Beatles' American debut in 1964. Donovan and the Searchers were a major part of that invasion. Donovan's mark was made in terms of modified folk music, while the Searchers dealt in what was, a decade ago, fairly standard British rock. Both of these albums are valuable to those inter- ested in the pop music of the 1960s. The 1950s have long since been ground up by the nostalgia mill, and now it is time to remi- nisce over what seemed to be, in the words of the Seven-Up commercial, "a time of agonizing reappraisal." The Donovan LP is fairly representative of his early recordings, with his original version of "Catch the Wind" shining through. The Searchers' popularity did not last as long as did Donovan's, yet the band produced some pretty music. Its best - America—a winning combination of talents FEBRUARY 1976 119 .

  • Who's Who in A&R at Prelude
    Who's Who In A&R At Prelude INTRODUCTION: In the last two issues our A&R Spotlight has dealt with relatively large record company A&R staffs. In contrast, Prelude Records is a small new disco oriented label where A&R is very much a part of the overall running of the company. With disco playing an in- creasingly important role in contemporary music, we felt it would be interesting to take a closer look at this emerging new label. PERSONNEL: Marvin Schlachter— President Stan Hoffman — Executive Vice President Starr Arning — Director of Disco Promotion Joe Kolsky — Sales Manager Jeff Deliniko — Controller Gerry Kuster — Production Stacy Frankel — Accounts Receivable Bob Lowe — Retail Promotion Phyllis Katz — Assistant to Controller Eric Plotkin — Mail Room Francois Kevorkian — Director of A&R Brenda Winbush — Receptionist/Secretary MARVIN SCHLACHTER: President A native New Yorker, Marvin received a degree in Business Administration from City College in 1955. After 2 years in the army, he spent 4 months in the CBS mailroom before moving to Cashbox Magazine as an advertising representative from 1958 to 1960. He spent the next 9 years building Scepter Records with Florence Greenberg. As a principal in the company and Executive Vice President, Schlachter played a vital role in Scepter's unprece- dented growth. When Janus Records was established in July of 1969, Marv accepted the firm's Presidency. He promptly established Janus with eleven hit singles, including a gold record and several chart albums in the first year of operation. By March of 1971 he was President of the entire GRT Record Group, including Chess-Janus and GRT Records.

  • Frank Allen the Searchers
    Chats to: Frank Allen The Searchers Please introduce yourself, and maybe for some of our younger audience especially, please can you tell us a brief history about The Searchers? I am Frank Allen, bass player and front man with The Searchers and a very long standing member, having celebrated on August 3 rd 49 years as one of the group. For the benefit of younger readers The Searchers came to national and international prominence in 1963 when the Beatles change the whole outlook on popular beat music across the globe at a time when in particular America was a closed shop to artistes from the U.K. The first record, Sweets For My Sweet , was released in June that year and started a run of fourteen chart hits which included Sugar & Spice , When You Walk In The Room , Needles & Pins , Love Potion Number Nine , Someday We’re Gonna Love Again, Goodbye My Love, Don’t Throw Your Love Away, He’s Got No Love , Take Me For What I’m Worth , Take It Or Leave It , Bumble Bee and Have You Ever Loved Somebody as well as a succession of albums and extended play discs that charted. Like the Beatles and many of the new bands at the time it was formed in Liverpool and I broke that chain when I replaced the original bass player, Tony Jackson in 1964. My first disc with The Searchers was When You Walk In The Room , our most covered hit ever, and I was to play on 9 of the chart singles. Originally the group was called ‘Johnny Sandon & The Searchers’.

  • "Ersatz As the Day Is Long": Japanese Popular
    “ERSATZ AS THE DAY IS LONG”: JAPANESE POPULAR MUSIC, THE STRUGGLE FOR AUTHNETICITY, AND COLD WAR ORIENTALISM Robyn P. Perry A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Walter Grunden, Advisor Jeremy Wallach © 2021 Robyn P. Perry All Rights Reserve iii ABSTRACT Walter Grunden, Advisor During the Allied Occupation of Japan, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP) Douglas MacArthur set forth on a mission to Americanize Japan. One way SCAP decided this could be done was by utilizing forms of media that were already popular in Japan, particularly the radio. The Far East Network (FEN), a network of American military radio and television stations in Japan, Okinawa, Guam, and the Philippines, began to broadcast American country & western music. By the early 1950s, Japanese country & western ensembles would begin to form, which initiated the evolution toward modern J-pop. During the first two decades of the Cold War, performers of various postwar subgenres of early Japanese rock (or J-rock), including country & western, rockabilly, kayōkyoku, eleki, and Group Sounds, would attempt to break into markets in the West. While some of these performers floundered, others were able to walk side-by-side with several Western greats or even become stars in their own right, such as when Kyu Sakamoto produced a number one hit in the United States with his “Sukiyaki” in 1963. The way that these Japanese popular music performers were perceived in the West, primarily in the United States, was rooted in centuries of Orientalist preconceptions about Japanese people, Japanese culture, and Japan that had recently been recalibrated to reflect the ethos of the Cold War.

    Title The Top of the Poppers sing and play punk Type Article URL https://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/id/eprint/14980/ Dat e 2 0 1 9 Citation Bestley, Russ (2019) The Top of the Poppers sing and play punk. Punk & Post Punk, 8 (3). pp. 399-421. ISSN 2044 1 9 8 3 Cr e a to rs Bestley, Russ Usage Guidelines Please refer to usage guidelines at http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/policies.html or alternatively contact [email protected] . License: Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives Unless otherwise stated, copyright owned by the author The Top of the Poppers sing and play punk Russ Bestley, London College of Communication By the mid-1970s, the music industry had a long history of accommodating and recuperating teenage rebellion, and punk’s defiant message of radical change also offered new opportunities for commercial enterprise. A rush to sign new bands who could be (broadly) associated with punk, and the concomitant shift toward ‘new wave’ styles, led to a degree of UK chart success for a number of groups. The inclusion of punk and new wave songs on a series of low-budget compilations featuring cover versions of contemporary hits strikes a particularly discordant tone with punk’s self-styled image of a break with traditional music industry conventions. The albums released on the longstanding budget compilation series Top of the Pops between mid-1977 and early 1982 tell an interesting story about the cultural recuperation of punk, new wave and post-punk, and ask questions, perhaps, about the legitimacy of punk’s often mythologised ‘outsider status’.
