Little Sherri gets into
By LITTLE SHERRI FUNK
Rock 'n' Roll Expert
All right, 'let's get this "Sgt.
Pepper" stuff out of the way
first so we can -get into some-'
thing important.
An album called "Colours"
by a group called Colours has
recently been released by Dot
records ,(DLP 25854). (If you
will remember, Dot was the
company that brought you Pat
Boone. Enough for nostalgia.)¢
It's a good album, possibly
even a \very good album, but
there is one real fly stranded in
Colours ointment.
THE FLY: "Hey Harry!
These guys sound life they're
imitating "Sgt. Pepper."
Yes, rock aficiondos, it does,
sound a' great deal like last
June's monstrous Beatle epic,
the album that either destroyed
or gave birth to modern rock,
depending on how you look at
it.
Much of the rhythms we all
grooved to last summer are
there in "Colours." The piano
from "A Day in the Life" -is"
there ("Dragged a comb across
my head ,. .." you remember).
The second side has the colos-
sal- ga to open with a sitar.
You can hear sequels to ."Fix-
ing a fHole," "When I'm 64,"
and "Lovely Rita."
.Put, (and here's the 'import-
ant stuff) this is a good album
for this day and age because'
it has something which ;seems.
to have nearly vanished from
the rock scene.
THE SOMETHING: Taste.
Yes, taste.
r
The arrangenents are taste-
ful, the use of orchestration is
,asteful, and the harmonies are
tasteful. This characteristic
makes the album fresh and
appealing despite the obvious.
Beatle hang-up.
Rock music has neveir exper-
ienced any type of linear pro-
gression (or regression) as Paul
Williams has been so careful
tojpoint out. It instead more or
less explodes in every direction
at once, a fact that most of the
hot-shot new rock critics over-
look. You see, they weren't lis-
tening to rock five or ten years
ago, being content to dismiss it
as "the kids'-noise." But now,
caught uip in an art form they
know nothing about, an, art
form in which the only per-
spective can be obtained by-
living in the music, they apply
meaningless labels, trends, and
phoney intellectualism to the
rock scene.
Though, as I mentioned be-
fore, the rock scene explodes
in all directions, ,there seems
'to be, on pact of the scene any-
way, a trend towads tasteful-
ness on one hand and untaste-
fulness (heavy?) on the other.
Groups like Blue Cheer,
Autosalvage, and Dr. John the
Night Tripper (or whoever he
is) have- become so heavy that
it's almost impossible to listen
to them. They beat you over
the head again and again and
again, making up for their lack'
of talent by capitalizing on a
gimmick.
THE GIMMICK: Being heavy.
Not that I'm necessarily
against heavy music per se,
but as my friend Suzy once told
me. "It's no good if it's just a
gimmick." Blue Cheer is mak-
ing a lot of money off of' a
heavy 'version of "Summertime
Blues" surely th' most gim-
micky offering since drug or
sex allusions in songs. But it
sells records, baby, and the hip'
people like it so it must be good.
At the other end of the taste
spectrum are Simon and Gar-
funkel. They are so incredibly,
inhumanly tasteful that it
makes us all want to grab
Paul Simon and rub his face in
the mud. But at least "Book-
ends" probably won't induce
nausea on a purelyv physical
level but it's very possible that
"Vinebus Eruptum" might.
Back to Colours now. Here is
a group, an American group
by the way, which has discov-
ered how to be tasteful and yet
not deny some of Rock's pre-
cious screaming heritage.
Their lyrics are occasionally
a delight as on "Bad Day at
Black Rock, Baby" and' "Help-
ing You Out.",
The arrangements .are very
"right" for their songs, with
the crowning achievement be-
ing "Brother Lou's Love Col-
ony." This cut features the best
use of an orchestra I've ever
heard in a rock context. At the
end of yvery two lines, there is
this half second or sd of a full
orchestra playing "DUM!" and
it's, incredible.
They even include the by
now standardr '30s number, in
Colours'
this case being "Don't You
Realize."
Possibly the toughest cut on
the album is "Rather Be Me."
The liner notes call it "a nul-
ber about identity" which is
undoubtedly the stupidest thing
that has been written on an al-
bum cover since the "Turn Turn
Turn" cover where the guy said
"The Byrds ara eclectic. Not
electric, eclectic. Look it up in
your dictionary,"
Dot Records has a lot to
learn about the philosophy of
liner notes. If notes are to te
included at all, and on many,
many albums they shouldn't be,
they should be light, literate,
and informative. They should
merely provide something to
sort of look at while listening
to the album.
The album is an outstanding
first effort for the group, but
like the Beegees, Colours has to
get out of the Beatle bag. Al-
though second albums are gen-
erally getting my award for
"Bringdowns of the Year," I
have high 'hopes for the next
Colours effort. It could be
great.
Listen to this album, you
might really like it.-

The hard rock of the '50s is
once again all around us. Reis-
sues of Bill Haley and Buddy
Holly hits in England are lead-
ing the way, along with such
fare as "Lady Madonna"' and
"Call Me Lightning." "Rock
Around the Clock" is number
33 in England followed by
"Peggy Sue" at 35 and Eddie
Cochrane's great "Summer-
time' Blues" at 41. It's ru-
mored that the next Beatles'
album may be almost exclu-
sively hrd rock.
Speaking of The Beatles,
Queen Elizabeth asked them to
perform for her and they re-
fused, saying they no longer
performed live, thank you.

Bell's 39 state exchanges re-
mained off the job yesterday de-
spite recommendations from their
national leadership that they re-
turn to work.
National officials of the Com-
munication Workers of America
(CWA) met with representatives
of Michigan units in Lansing
Monday to urge a return to work.
Michigan CWA workers had re-
jected a new contract offer
which grants nearly 20 per cent
increases in benefits to all Bell
system employes.
A Bell spokesman said seven

ternational Union of the CWA in-
structed the Ann Arbor locals to

be in violation of their interna-
tional constitution."
However. Chase said, it is up
to Michigan Bell to settle with
the picketing Local 4090 (tele-
phone installers) and "when the
pickets are removed Local 4011
will return to work."

Glenn Gould: Not for purists ..
By R. A.EARI
If you are a student build-
ing a record collection by ac-
quiring:the basic repertoire,
then you probably won't want
it. If you are a purist, anxious
for musical authenticity and
skeptical of 'second-hand com-
positions, you don't want it
either. If you are afraid that
your academic friends will
laugh at you when they find it
hidden away in your collection,
then you had,better steer clear
of' it too. But, be forewarned;,
you -will be missing one of the
most exciting, unusual, and
satisfying piano records of the
year.
The dubious disc in question
is Franz Liszt's piano Ftrans-
cription of Beethoven's Fifth
Symphony, performed by 'that
p e r v e r s e Canadian genius,
Glenn Gould, ,Surprises are
many in this new Columbia re-
cording (MS17095), and not the
least one is that the piece
works at all. Many .of Liszt's
transcriptions - his "Oper-
atic and Dramatic Fantasies"
--were strange affairs, half
original, half. banal, meant
mostly to'sho -up his techni-
cal prowess. Such transcrip-
tions also served to introduce
many works to a wider audi-
ence which could not attend
operatic galas. -
effects, pays tribute not only
to Liszt's knowledge of the p1-
ano but also to the skill, in-
genuity, and "chutzpah" of Mr.
Gould. From the same piano
with which he delicately clari-
fied the structures of Bach, he
evokes an enormous sound,,
thoroughly contiolled, never
rambling,- ,,always infinitely
shading tonal color with an ear
to the orchestra. The andante
is most lovely, and the ere-
scendo entrance to the final al-
legro breathtaking in its build-
up and control. A great new
Beethoven sonata has been
added to the repertoire, though
it is doubtful that many pian-
ists will accept, lest tackle it.
Glenn Gould has said'that the
only reason to record is to do
something different. His new
recording of the five early Mo-
zart sonatas (K. 279-283) cer-'
tainly does, just that; it is an
intriguing, ghastly affair.w
To make love takes: ,some
time; rape is. a fast' job, and
Gould proceeds to rape these
early sonatas'of much of their
'feeling, sensitivity, and content.
It is one thing to eschew senti-
mentality but another thing to
wear intellectual blindIers. There
are moments of quiet deli-
cacy and, of course, a splendid
revelation of structure, and in
these moments one is complete-
ly won over. At other ,times,
Gould coldly rips through the.
score.-
Take, for example; the Son-
ata No. 5, K. 283. A good, Ro-
mantic pianist like Novaes
takes nineteen minutes to play,
it; Gould takes eight! All of
the feeling which Novaes puts
in the space between notes,
Gould compresses out. No ru-
bato for this young man. Yet,
when all is said, the record
(MS 7097) is still not one I
,would trade away too readily,
for Glenn Gould casts an aura
as no other pianist today.
Columbia has promoted their
new presentation of Brahms
Piano Concerto No. 2, with
Andre Watts and Leonard
Bernstein, to their full PR ca-
pacity. With the record (MS,
7134) came a little disc puri-
porting to be a "conversation"
between Bernstein and Watts.
On it Maestro Bernstein speaks
and Watts adds "Right" or
"Yes" or "Uh-hull."
Their musical partnership
proves to 'something similar. It
is Bernstein's conception of the
work which prevails - every
forte an emotional peak, pushy
tempos and quixotic ritardan-
dos, heavy all-out lyricism --
into which Watts pours his pro-
digious talents, power, and
technique. When passion seems
so premeditated, however, it
loses its power to convince.
Thus,. .despite the tempest
brewed up here, there are more
moving pgrformances to be had,
the Rich er/Leinsdorf for one.

In the Beethoven transcrip-
