Two REVIEW AND COMMENT BURNING MEMORIES - Ray Price (Columbia) Only TVinnTs record sounded more potent to me this week. Both will be winners for the label. Look for instant country take-off on this. Then it’ll move big in every pop market. Material as great as this is bound to be covered. Go with the original. LOOK HOMEWARD ANGEL - Monarchs (SS7) Everyone should be playing this. A hit in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia and Florida. LONG GONE LONESOME BLUES - Hank Williams, Jr. (MGM) Sales are good. Doing well where it ’s been played, mostly in the smaller markets...except in Washington, DC. The #1 request for Larry Pate-WAPX-Montgomery. A LACE MANTILLA AND A ROSE OF RED - Claude King (Columbia) Haven’t heard a word on this except from the label. They’re on the flip. My ear says this side. Pass along any news on either. Many thanks. RHYTHM AND BLUES - John D. Loudermilk (RCA) This is the side. Sorry for the wrong tip last week. Should do very well. LONNIE ON THE MOVE - Lonnie Mack (Fraternity) Turn on the lovelight. Early juke box sales should get it off to a hot start. Think you’ll like it more and more with repeated play. RONNIE - Donna Lynn (Capitol) Suggest the label back this up with her current "My Boy- Friend Got A Beatle Haircut." #23 at WPGC-Washington follows earlier Atlanta sales and requests. WELCOME TO MY WORLD - Jim Reeves (RCA) If there is one record we all missed that we should all go back and look for, then this_is it.
