RECORDED ALMOST LIVE—Don Bowman— RCA Victor LPM/LSP 3646 Victor funnyman Don Bowman should keep a lot of people in smiles with this latest performance. A lot of well known ditties get the usual YOU CAN HAVE HER (2:48) [Big Billy, BMI—Cook] butchering a la Bowman, including “What Kind Of Fool Am I” and “She Thinks I Don’t Care.” IF YOU WERE MINE, MARY (2:11) [Ridge, Taylor] BMI— Comic fans should get a boot out of this fun- JIM EDWARD BROWN (RCA Victor 9077) filled effort.

Jim Edward Brown switches from his usual smooth balladizing and offers a catchy hand-clapper called “You Can Have Her.” The rolling, building effect of this one should be greeted with enthusiastic response. Capitol Lots of promise pop-wise. Flip, “If You Were Mine, Mary,” is a real TEARDROP LANE—Ned Miller— T/ST pretty item done up with the velvet touch. 2586 Heading up this selection with his recent noisemaker, “Teardrop Lane,” Ned Miller offers a strong selection of self-penned numbers, making DRIFTING APART (2:30) [Page Boy, SESAC—Gurnee] this performance a good bet for healthy sales WHEN WE RE ALONE AT NIGHT (2:37) action. Appealing tunes are enhanced by a very [Page Boy, SESAC—McPherson] attractive vocal effort on the part of the multi- talented Miller. Among the top tracks are “Snow- WARNER MACK (Decca 32082) flakes” and another while-back noisemaker, “Summer Roses.” Warner Mack has wasted no time in following up his recent “It Takes A Lot Of Money” smash with “Drifting Apart,” another sure-fire winner. This one is strong, easy-paced heartbreaker that should take no time in scoring with deejays. “When We’re Alone At Night” is a tender romance COUNTRY DOZEN—Janet McBride & Vern tune. Stovall—Longhorn LPM 005 After several chart successes in the singles line, Longhorn makes its LP debut with this package by Janet McBride and Vern Stovall. The I DIDN’T JUMP THE FENCE (2:45) [Southtown, BMI—Chrysler] two highlight the set with their recent noise- DON’T LET MY GLASS RUN DRY (2:08) [Starday, BMI—Hill, Sovine] making single, “I’m Wild Bill Tonight,” and include several other duet as well as a batch of solo RED SOVINE (Starday 794) tracks for each. Grooves include “Funny Sense Of Humor” (Vern Stovall) and “Yodelin’ Jan” Veteran Red Sovine may zoom real high once again as a result of “I (Janet McBride), among others. Didn’t Jump The Fence.” Songster admits to playing around, but claims he wasn’t the responsible party. Looks like a biggie. “Don’t Let My Glass Run Dry” is a bouncing tale of woe.

ONLY I (2:45) [Sun-Vine, BMI—Antonio, Guitar] THE KICKIN’ TREE (2:05) [Sun-Vine, BMI—Antonio, Guitar] Faster Than BONNIE GUITAR (Dot 16987)

Bonnie Guitar should soon be decorating the high spots in the charts with this superfine effort tagged “Only I.” Both country and pop fans could dig the deck, which is an exceptionally lovely ballad beautifully “SWEET THANG” done. “The Kickin’ Tree” is a lowdown moaner.

a lot more. It’s the magnetic pick-up with twin diamond styli in Seeburg’s Stereo Showcase. It’s made to our specifications by Pickering, one of the original developers of the high fidelity magnetic cartridge.

Here are a few of the reasons it’s standard equipment in the Seeburg Stereo Showcase:

1 The double styli are diamond, the hardest substance known. They’ll last about ten times longer than styli made from anything else. 2 This low-mass cartridge cuts tracking weight in half- down to 2 grams. That means the tone arm rides easier in the groove. There’s less skipping

and the sound is truer. 2 Because Seeburg’s diamond styli have 30% smaller tips, they ride lower in the grooves. This minimizes surface noise, gives better stereo separation, and produces a truer sound.

Replacement is easy. Sim- ply snap out the cartridge, slip in the new styli and snap the cartridge back in. No tools, no wiring.

In the phonographs that earn your bread and butter, why settle for anything less than a trouble- proof cartridge that’s guaranteed to
