satisfactory so the idea was dropped. The
20 15 15 15 15 idea of a teen type TY show was fostered however as evidenced by the highly sue-cessful "Shin Dig".
$Zte ... The UK i s s ure making hay wh i le they sit on top of the
music heap. Shin Dig i s a new and exciting American teen TV show and who ha s the first LP with the tie-in? ... . . You guessed it. The Shadows , popular Engli s h group have released a new LP titled "Shin Dig" (Capitol) and two cuts are being rushed out on a s ingle " Don't It Make You Feel Good" f/s "That ' s The Way It Goe s " . The Engli sh s ound is one that re cord producers everywhere are s triving to accomplish . It was once said "The Germans di sc over it , the Americans mass produce it and the English perfect it ." Sounds like the record business.
The Canadian Sound (we might as well join the club)is making inroads to th e American market . Appearing on Music Business Top 100 th i s wee k is " Unless You Care" by Terry Black as No . 73 with a red arrow . " Shake Hands" by the Rocka tones on Melbourne has been picked as a " Best Bet" in Cashbox.
The Courriers ( " From Sea To Sea" on RCA Victor) are having a busy time with appearances . They will be at the Guelph Agricultura l College on Oct . 16 a nd at the Brockville Civic Auditorium on Oct. 30 . This same date they will be seen on the C BC-TV s how " A La Carte" out of Toronto. Ga le Garnett appea rs for one week commencing Oct. 14 at the P urpl e Onion in Toronto . Arthur Fiedler who liked the Beatles' material s o much he recorded an LP of their hits with the Boston Pop Ork will be appearing with the Toronto Symphony Ork Nov . 17. Rita Pavone will make a personal a.!'pearance in Montreal Oct. 24 and in Toronto Oct. 25. That's quite a bund le of news from Mike Doy le of Victor. Thanks Mike. By the way watch out fo r Lorne Greene with hi s newes t " Ringo" . Could be a hot one.
The Travellers who appeared at a comma nd performance du ring the Queen' s recent visit , impressed the Duke sufficiently enough for him to re ma rk that they s hould make a trip to Engl and . What better recommenda tion could you have? Latest reports have it that the Travellers will leave for England s hortly and th a t their popularity has gone on before them . So watch out for big things to come from the Travellers. Thei r latest LP has been well received but now that Royalty i s interes ted it may sound that much better . It's on Columbia FL 31 0 .
Hal Ross of London Records looks for big things to happen with a new group from Masena N . Y. (a suburb of eastern Ontario ) Tommy Di s haw and the P a nthers with their s ingle on London "Ain ' t Gonna Bother You No More". Hal is also very enthu s iastic over a French Canadian turned English .. . Donald L autrec who recorded "The · Ska" a fifty thousand seller , debut s in English with a Platter's hit "I'm Sorry" f/s "What To Do Wi th 'Laurie" . New label is Jupiter handled by London .
Ed Lawson , Ontari o Promo topper for Quality reports good reaction on the new We s Da kus ' single "Las Vegas Scene " . Thi s could be one of the better in s trumentals of the year.
My cleaning lady left a message tha t "High Noon had called." It took all morning before I found out that Harold Moon ha d c a lled. (My cleaning la dy a l so write s in _ broken English ).
Sporton Records i s ru s hin g a re lease written by Johnny r:owell "Winds of Cha nce" on which Johnny is featured on the t rumpet f/ s "Etern a l F la me". Johnny is a t the piano on this one . " E ternal F lame" was written to commemorate the de a th of Pre s ident Kennedy.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BELIEVING IN THE INDUSTRY : Much has been written about our music industry, many writers offer constructive criticism . A few critics have taken on the task of attempting to pull the rug out from under our entire industry. Any person or persons representing any company or radio station must be responsible in their comments and views. Any irresponsible writing by these representatives can therefore be construed as being a part of the company's or station's po:icy. NATIONAL PRIDE should be a natural commodity . What better way can we show our gratitude? Newspaper columnists for the most part are responsible writers and usually take every opportunity to "hype" our national image . Too often radio stations are interested only in the region serviced by their signal. "We dig Toronto" , or " We love Vancouver" , or "Alberta is the greatest" or "Know Quebec better it's good for you " . How about boosting Canada. It's good for you . Regionalism can breed narrow-mindedness whereas a nationalistic approach by broadcasters could stimulate a feeling of national pride that is lacking in this country.

Phyllis Marshall Day was celebrated rn Montreal by C JAD, October 15 , a nd a t the same time we learned that CKEY Toronto ha d picked Phy llis' new LP "That Girl Phyllis Marsha ll" (Columbia) as their a lbum of the week.
Bruce Ruggles PD a t C F CH North Bay writes t o fill u s in on a new Canadia n ta le nt featur e beg inning Oct. 26 . The half hour s how will be titled "Canadia na ". This new show will be hos ted by Gary Stevens 8.30 p.m. to 9 .00 p .m. Monday through Thurs day , fe a turing Canadian pops and country. Bruce ha s always been a great boos ter of Canadian talent and this show is another example of hi s dedication.
Red Robinson C-FUN Vancouver note s the C lass ics' new record is a twin pick hit in Vancouver and l ooks like it could be bigger than their fir s t release" Aces High" . The Winmen from Winfield B.C. have a top seller with "Nickel Piece of Candy". The Chessmen, another popula r west coast group will soon be showing with a release on London "Mustang". Terry Black, of course, is s till doing well with "Unless You Care" (Arc). Terry no longer belongs exclusively to British Columbia, he's got North America in hi s hands.
Nice to hear from George Cawdry, Jr. PD at CKCM, Grand Falls, Newfoundland. George is no stranger to Upper Canada, having been morning man at CFGM, Richmond Hill.
JOHN BASSET JR. Editor of "After Four" a Toronto Te legram supplement has given permis s ion to RPM to reprint the following article written by Bob McAdory, dealing with Canadian singles. The article appeared Thursday, Oc tober 1, 1964.
"GARBAGE! THAT'S WHAT THEY'D HAVE ME PLAY -PURE GARBAGE. Canad ian dis c jockeys a re getting a little tired of the wailing, whining and moaning of record companies that they a re not promoting Canad ia n tal e nt.
I don't think there' s a de e jay in thi s country who wouldn't give preference to a Canadian a rti s t PFOYIDIN G that the record is good. Good enough to compete with a nyt'1ing that' s produced anywhere. Unfortunately , thi s rare ly happen s. You'd be amazed at some of the unbelievable garbage that is produced in this country . ACCUSED - It doesn't get on the air, and right away we're accused of 'Not having faith in Canadian talent ' (This is talent?) .
Many Canadian recording a rtists I count a mong my close s t buddie s, but if the record doesn't come up to scra tch , I don't believe in kidding them about it.
If there's any doubt, the listeners have the fin a l decision. Nothing make s disc jockeys happier than to see a Canadian artist ' ma ke it' with a hit record.
Here a re some recent releases that could possibly do it. It' s up to you
Feel So Pretty, by Shirley Matthews. Snea kin' Around, by the Stratotones. Don't Make A Fool Of Me by Little Caesar & the Consuls And look for a couple of ne w ones by Ronnie Haw kin s
a nd Robbie La ne . Incide nta lly, I wish Bobby Curto la would get off the ' swee t sound ' kick a nd record a rea I roe ker. If you 've ever seen Bobby do R & B material on s tage, you'll know how well he handle s it.

DATELINE NEW YORK by Harriet Wasser The Skunks recently appeared in a Greenwich Village
club with Brian Hyland . They were billed as Canada's answer to the Beatles.
The Four Seasons were in town long enough to c ut their next hit . It is called "Big Man in Town" and will be relea sed momentarily. In the meantime the Hol lyridge Strings album of the Four Seasons ' hits is rapidly climbing the charts.
Burt Bacharach's newest discovery is a singer named George McCannon. George recently completed a Dick Clark tour and will record in the near future. Talking about Burt, Dionne Warwick has a single out on a song called "Peach Out For Me" which was recorded a year ago by Lou Johnson and made chart no ise then . This new vers ion could go ''Top 10'' .
England's Andrew Oldham made a quick trip to New York, to help map out a forthcoming tour for the Roll ing Stones. The boys have a new record "Time Is On My Side". When I mentioned to Andrew that the record did not have the identifiable English sound, he said, "I like American records!' '
As a result of the play " Automatic Reaction" by Ni no and the Ebb Tides is getting up in Canada, Amy Record s is starting to break the record in the US.
Bobby Darin fans are in for a treat . On hi s new album, he is reunited with Richard Wess. It contains recent standard type ballads . The name on the cover is ''From He llo Dolly to Good Bye Charlie" .
Breaking big on the charts is " Listen Lonely Girl" by Johnny Mathis (Mercury) . The song was written by Bobby Scott who wrote "A Taste Of Honey " .
television she gets better. She was outstanding when she guested on the Johnny Carson Show .
Robert Goulet did an outstanding acting job on a recent Kraft Suspense Theatre . He is regarded by mos t Americ ans as Canadian although he was born in the US . It looks li ke Mr. Goulet will have hi s fir st chart record judging from the sales of his Columbia disc " My Love Forgive Me ". CKLY

There is definite chart action on thi s record . Wa lt te lls me Canadian charts a re already s howing li stings.
Adam Faith had planned to record in N.Y. when he was s uddenly ca lle d back to England . I wonder if the ads in the London trades would have read "Recorded in America" just as the ads for Brenda Lee' s new record say "Recorded in England ". " ls It True " is a s English a record as you 'll hear a nd it look s like a monster for Bre nda.

MAN of t~e WEEK
ART COLLINS
Music Man , Art Collins is probably the mos t important programmer of Good Music in Canada. As header of C FRB's impressive record library (Chief L ibrarian) Art a nd hi s s ta ff of three program the music that the largest segment of Canada's most densely populated area listen co.
Art is no overnight wonder in the music bus ines s, but has ins tead progressively accumulated a great knowledge of the bu s iness . As early a s .in his teens, Art was responsible for the first sound sys tems for teen dances in Canada which later led to CNE tee n dances, and s tarted Art in the mus ic business. In 1948, Art joined the s taff of C KEY' s music l ibrary (at that time programming big bands and the contemp orary music of pos t world war two) then to C HUM in '51, where Art c o llected one of Canada's most impressive librarie s of recorded music. At CHUM he instigated the program Promenade Under the Sta rs which eventually he announced and operated . In '56 Art joined C F CF in Montreal. There too he acc umulated a vast l ibrary which was later destroyed by fire. In '57 he joined CFRB to program Canada' s evergreen radio s ta tion .
In his early thirtie s, Art is a n avid sport s car enthusiast presently more interested in cycling. In '62 he owned one of the fi rs t Honda's in Canada . Presentl y his BMW is s hown once a year at the CNE a nd for the pas t three yea rs has won a trophy each year.
Art is a devotee of Canadian ta lent both on records and the · a nadian Ta len t Library .

George Wilson of C KFH informs us of a ne w version of ' 'The King & I" on RCA Victor. This is from the Lincoln Centre in New York with Rise Stevens and Darren McGavin . George a lso recommend s the new double album of " Roger Williams At Town Ha ll " on Kapp.
Art Collins at CF RB suggests you give a listen to " No Arms Can Ever Hold You" (Decca) by Georgie Shaw and ''Who Can I Turn To '' by Tony Be nnet and " My Love Forgive Me" by Robert Gou let both on Columbia . Art was very impre ssed with a n album from Denmark " The Svend Saaby Choir· singing Great American Standards". This LP was recorded in Germany on the Ariola label a nd is distributed in Canada through Canada Record Sales. Recommended cuts are "Carioca", "Lady Is A Tramp" a nd "In The Still Of The Night". A very interesting LP from Capitol is "The Three D 's (New Dimension in Folk Songs)" This is a trio of men putting the works of Poe, Kipling , Tennyson and others to folk music. For classical listening Art is very impressed with the Deutsche Grammophone release of Tchaikovsky Sixth Symphony by the Berlin Philharmonic Ork conducted by Herbert Von Karajan. The Third movement is very exciting.
Helen Hatton a t C HUM-FM is very excited over the new London release of " Bach's Harpsicord Concertos by George Malcolm. Mr. Malcolm is using the newly developed Goff Harpsicord. Thomas Goff's improvements have allowed for more speed a nd with extra peddles (there are five) is now capable of extra swe lls.
Helen informs us that Victor has just released "The Songs of Giuseppe Verdi" .Performed by Lica Albanese. Angel has released "The Verdi Requiem" conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini . Critics hai l thi s LP as "the recording of a life time" . Another London release that impressed Helen is "Benjamin Britten 's Serenade for Tenor Horn and Strings" with Peter Pears as soloist. Mr . Pears will be appearing with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in November at which time they will perform the "War Requiem" . CHUM-FM will air this complete work the Sunday before the performance. Pierre Monteux made on ly one recording with his son Claude (a noted flautist) and London has just released this already acclaimed LP "The Mozart Flute Concerto No. 2 in D" . This LP also includes Ballet numbers by Gluck.
If you are fa mi liar with Mahler then you will be most interested and pleased with his Symphony No. 1 performed by the London Symphony Ork conducted by Georg Solti on London. Another beautiful London release is "The Arias of Julius Caesar (Handel)" performed by the very popular Joan Sutherland supported by Marilyn Horne and Monica Sinclair, Margreta Elkins, Richard Conrad with Richard Bonynge conducting the New Symphony Ork on London.
