WELL MY darlings, don't you hate it? I mean I go away. I come back. I go away and I come back again. And it's still. going on.

'Grease' I'm talking about. WhaddyathinkImean - as the Americans say. The fever rages on. The film. The albums. The singles. The book of the film. All number one. All sell' -million. But Is It really the best thing to hit Britain since sliced bread and the Beatles?

YOU HAVE YOUR SAY: Is there anyone who hasn't been taken over yet? Anybody who thinks John Revolting and Olivia Wooden John are about as exciting as a wet dishcloth or a plate of cold spaghetti? Some- body (anybody?) who doesn't like the film, the music, the lifestyle and (deep breath) the marketing concept? Somehow I doubt It, but we'll give it a try anyway. Tell us what you think of 'Grease' - we'll print the best letters and even aend you an album (not 'Grease') as well. Write to 'Grease Gripe', Record Mirror, 40 Long Acre. London. WC2.

Anyway, for the moment and meanwhile, just to keep you up to date with your favourite super- stars here's two titbits. "Hunk" Travolta has brought a huge house In Los Angeles, an even huger house In Santa Barbara and is currently having a 'landing strip built at the latter for his private Lear Jet.

While Ms Wooden John (30) has made the daring confession that she "never wears a dress after she's been photographed in It-" Just as well she doesn't think the same about trousers, for

And Just as a reminder that "Wally" (whoever he is) still lives, evidence was provided last

As the appalling ditty makes Its way up the charts yet again I can only urge you to buy the Aibertos' wonderful paean of similar Intent instead. They're now down to one member - currenUy rehearsing a solo project In Wiltshire - and are approaching despair Shortly they'll "attain new management, look for a new deal, man" and all ill be lost.

No action ensued - "It wasn't a nasty Incident", Nick assures me - although there is no ci,iubt the warbling one would have been booked had the rozzer been in uniform> But I suppose coppers do make a change from "squad - dies" at excitable occasions such as this...

PLANS ARE currently being finalised for the Bee Gees to play a series of live dates In Britain in the New Year.

But according to a report In the American magazine People these could be the last concerts the Bee Gees play together. In the current issue they claim the Bee Gees are about to break up . -

due to jealousy and "sibling rivalry."

"Everyone is jealous of Barry fat 31, the oldest brother)," they claim. "He writes the stuff, he produces the albums, he's the big lead vocalist, all the girls think he's the sexiest one.

"It's really too much for Robin and Maurice . , ." Both Maurice and Robin, People continues, are

dissatisfied with their part In the Bee Gees and "would like to shine on their own," perhaps following the example of their younger brother Andy.

There Is now some doubt that the film 'Spirit', following the new Bee Gees album of the same name. will ever be made. But reports of an Imminent "break up". were angrily denied by Robert Stlgwood'a London office this week

"Rapport within the Bee Gees has never been better," they Insisted "They're working together better than they've ever done.

"There Is no definite news of a British tour as of now, but there is a strong possibility that It will happen next year This current 'story' has no four dation whatsoever."

He leapt onstage, wearing a pair of chevron patterned pants he must have had to lever on with a shoe horn. He looked like a mobile roadside crash barrier. He wore a heavy studded belt slung low across hIs bum. I hope he didn't try to sit down with it - he could have ruined his best asset.

His hair was kept stylishly windblown by the giant fans that were placed at each side of the stage. His sequinned waistcoat show-ed off hia brown hirsute chest to perfection

"We're all in the rock 'n' toll regiment!" screamed Roth. The German crowd roared back.

Even the backstage security people looked excited The marling dogs they had attached to long chains looked a bit hysterical too,

"I hear Frankfurt is the reek b' roll capital of the world!" yelled Roth,

Full marts for remembering where he was

The set was predictable, but very enjoyable 1 can't say they

did anything that sounded original, but they were wonderful to watch. Like the cliches that Roth uses In his speech, so the band use them In the music. They are the amalgamation of every rock riff/leap/drum beat/strobe light that ever was. They fill the hole left in the market by bands nice Led Zeppelin who no longer tour the world.

There was even a drum solo. While Alex Van Halen did his bit on his giant kit, looking exactly Like Animal in the Muppets, Roth came aide stage for a breather. He stood by a fan and dried the sweat off his chest hair. Alex stood up on the kit. threw sticks to the audience: cue for lover boy to get back to business.

As the sweat flew all over us, Roth bent his body Into impossible arcs; his grinds and bumps taken straight from the best stripper you've ever seen.

"D'you want to rock 'n' roll one more tinier' roars Roth, the veins standing out alarmingly on his neck. His audience is gratifyingly receptive. Really, Van Halen are too good to go out a.. a support act. Their showmanship Is superb, their profeasionallam is undeniable. Although I think they're trading on rock cliches, I can see why they are on to a winner.

But there was a moment ... a brief flash that showed Roth to be human after all. He leaned

forward to the mike - and bashed his lip. Just for an instant, he lost his place - and he laughed. I liked him for that. He quickly regained his cool, leapt up onto the PA at the back of the stage - and executed a death defying jump to the stage, pulling up his legs and touching his toes with his fingers.

The spectacle over, the band dried off - and a couple of hard faced German groupies lingered hopefully by the dressing room door,

The next day the groupies were hanging around the hotel lobby, having charmed not the band, but the road crew,

And David Lee Roth is lust dying to tell me how wonderful he is. But for all his text book posturing, it's difficult not to like him.

"The kids are rock 'n' roll," he told me with a dead straight face. God knows where he gets his lines, but he delivers them with style. "Van Halen have to communicate. We ain't hippies, but we have these vibrations, y'know? We're not all sex 'n' violence. We call our sound Rig Rock. We don't copy anybody."

1 swallowed a smile in my tea

''Van Halen is new. A Van Halen record will jump out at you from the car radio. I'm a music junkie, I consume tapes like food

And my dinner, presumably. But moat': la only partly what

the band Is W about. Roth's sexuality playa a large part in

fanning the rock star image. I mean, this In the man she was pictured on the Runt of an American magazine called Groupie Rock and named "Grope of the month" - and he likes It. It's a confirmation of his complete fantasy a reaffirmation of his opinion of himself.

"Sex is a vitally Important part of me." he said "I'm a very sexual person. No. I wouldn't say I was n stud, but generally I feel sexy-"

There's certainly no chance of misinterpreting the message he pits out onstage. I was only surprised there weren't more panting German ladles swarming round backstage maybe they got put off by the guard dogs

"You meet all kinds of people on the road," he hedged.' T'm fascinated by weird people, T like to see the red light areas In towns, the docks. The low life really turns me on."

It doesn't seem to take much to turn on this larger than life (and I mean that) Romeo.

"The girls send me a lot of danger symbols ..."

What' "You know, stuffed snakes and

stuff like that. It's a trip." What about the groupies? Did he

go with them? Oh yeah, all the time," he

said frankly. But what about the health risk? "Groupies these days are not

quite what people expect them to be , he answered, wriggling away from the heart of the question, "People tend to think of the groupies of Wee, when they were almost professional. Nowadays In the States, I don't think I've seen those kind more than twice. They're Just normal, regular girls. Just like taking out the girl next door, and that's a trip too.

"People are people. If you spend the night with somebody, you gotta talk to them. I never kick them out afterwards, I wouldn't do that. I have made mistakes though.

"But this la fantasy land. I never want to grow up."

Roth tiled to convince me that his life now isn't that much different to his existence as a normal human being. You mean you've ALWAYS been like this?

"Well I started out with goals In life," he said seriously. I

began to feel like Terry Wogan interviewing hopeful Mies Worlds.

"Now Van Helen hiss gone beyond all that. But my basic goal is to be happy.

"It doesn't require much money to be happy, to party, to have F LJN."

FUN and PARTYING looms large In the lives of there simple living guys. It should do, they work hard enough at It. When they supported Boston In Anaheim three weeks ago, they made sure of grabbing the limelight by parachuting into the car park from a Cherokee Six plane.

We wanted to do something death defying," explained Roth. "We wanted to prove that Van Halen are not earthbound. We did a 40 second free fall, then opened the chutes. Have you ever seen

ople at nhookkeed the

faint and rand

to the sound of sirens wailing out of the PA." I'll bet Boston were thrilled to bits. Van Halen had forewarned

Boston of their plans, but Roston thought they were kidding, Well. who wouldn't? The people at Warner Brothers must have been on their knees praying that their assets wouldn't miss the mark and land on somebody's Cadillac.

"You gotta be In shape to play Van Halen music." remarked Roth (wonder if he wain counting how many times he managed to plug Van Halen In the ~roe of an hour?). "I stretch every night before I go onstage. But that's rock 'n' rolL You gotta look like you Round and Van Helen looks like we sound, You gotta lilt them with what you wear. It's one ball of wax; the music, the clothes, the lights.

"But we're not self ronecloua rock_ We're definitely street legal .,

They're maybe not self conscious, but they sure as hell know what they're doing, They're exploiting a fertile market and harvesting a bumper crop,

"Van Halen Is something that's bigger than all of us." declared Roth. obvious?y getting to the last page to his nick star's book of cliches.

Headline grabber

TAKE I AM beginning to find the Stranglers' cheap publicity tricks a trifle wearing.

Wasting a dozen hacks' Urn! on an unpleasant trip to Iceland Is one thing And babbling on about how they have a "higher level of con- sciousness" than mere mortals is a harmless enough way of grabbing another few lines of copy.

But when their in- creasingly pathetic melodramatics start interfering with the people who made them "superstars" in the first place, then It's time they acted Ina way that befits their extremely mature ages and stopped making Idiots of themselves in public.

104 The latest farce took

place last week at the University of Surrey in Guildford. After prac- tising a few scowls on the enthusiastic and receptive audience. they began slinging Insults at the entirely Innocent crowd,

After four numbers. they walked offstage, complaining that they didn't like playing to an elitist audience. The whole affair was scrutinised by the Stranglers publicist, Alan Edwards.

According to a later statement by Hugh Cornwell, the surly lead guitarist, The Stranglers were misled by the BBC and the University Authorities into thinking that tickets were on sale to both students and

}

Will he THE OBNOXIOUS Steve Rubell - owner of New York's glammer than glam Studio 54 megadiscoteque - looks like being foiled in his plan to Introduce another exclusive nightspot on the sight of London's New Victoria Theatre.

Although the question of planning permission for a

second Studio 54 Is still under consideration by the Greater London Council, the Idea has received a less than enthusiastic response from the local West- minster City Council.

In a letter to the OLC Central Area Planning Committee - who will take the ultimate decision on November I - the WCC resolved that "the strongest possible respresentationmust be made against this development."

The letter goes on to say that the effect of the venue opening to 3 am in the morning would be seriously detrimental to a very large nufnber of local residents.

Although the GLC le not bound to follow the WCCS advice, the case and the opposition against Rubell Is

powerful, The police force are reportedly set against it following scrutlnlsatlon of a dossier of the club's New York activities. Studio 54 In New York has been In trouble for building code and alcohol licence violations.

members of the general public. They were, in fact, on sale only among students.

This raises the question; at what point did they cone by this "incriminating" piece of knowledge? While they were onstage? Surely not. So why not just refuse to do the gig In the first place and let some less pedantic hand take their place?

"I suppose they, really wanted to make their point to the strongest possible way," said Alan Edwards.

Jet Black, poor old chap, says that he's "sick of phoney set pieces in the music business.

"They filled the hall with stooges. They got a responsible and easily controllable audience."

He adds, quite irrelevantly, that "when you give away something free in a university, even the bacteria to the laboratories stampede for the place."

All this Is very well and good. If the Stranglers want to fart about like eight year olds, that's their business. However.

STRANGLERS: ünother farce

this time it's different. A whole audience of

perfectly genuine fans laccording to the Stranglers philosophy, students are somehow dlequalined from being fans) lost oút.

Obviously, no - one will get to see much of the Stranglers on BBC TV's 'Rock Goes To College'. But, as producer Mike Appleton points out, the effect of their actions doesn't stop there,

"It was difficult enough convincing the BBC heirachy that 'Rock Goes

'To College' would he s.c reened at all. Behaviour like this doesn't help

Besides, the Stranglers knew per- fectly well that the series was for students. That's why it's called 'Rock Goes To College' for God's sake!

"The whole thing was a set up. They did It for the publicity. It's a load of balls to say that It's elitist. The majority of the kids there were more working class than any of them. What Is Burnet anyway? A son of a diplomat?

"They're middle aged old men trying to pretend they're the Sex Pistols. They are incredibly Immature, especially people like Jet Black,

"They're so old anyway, they don't know a thing about univer- sities. They don't give a f- -k about the fans, only about how much publicity they get."

Appleton pointed out that if the Stranglers had mentioned their ob- jections In the first place he would at least have been able to get a replacement band so that one of the episodes would not be completely wasted.,

As It is, one of the episodes will probably Just have to be repeated. though Appleton is en- tertaining thoughts of screening the episode just to show The Stranglers up.

Last time I wrote something vaguely critical about them, Jean Jacques said he was going to beat me up. This time, he may even dolt.

Scotland Yard are particularly Interested by a line in a report from the N.Y. State Liquor authority which accuses the owners of Studio 54 as having shown a "blatant disregard for the law."

The powerful Theatre Trust Is also opposed to the development, and a petition by local residents Is being circulated opposing the disco.

Studio 54 represents an investment of close on two million dollars for Steve Rubell, who has been described by a member of Record Mirror as "jum- ped-up, rode and blustering."

Mr Rubell Is unphased by this latest setback. Ac' cording to the American music trade bible, `Billboard', Rubell feels he can overcome the rising opposition because it"Is not a legal thing."

It would not appear that articulacy Is about to be added to the growing number of adjectives being used to describe this flamboyant entrepreneur.

Of Presley's vast number of recordings, his early Sun sessions were the most rewarding. This Is raw

rockabilly. and demonstrates the man's originality before he was programmed to stardom. 'All Along The Watchtower' - Jtmi Hendrix

neither he Dylan wrote some great material, but nor anyone else could say It like Hendrix did.

'Apache' - The Shadows Probably did more for guitars than tartnle

Donegan did for washboards. Classic guitar theme

that anyone could learn to play. 'Riders On The Storm' - Doors

beat that conveys Ya Atmospheric, soaked, Immense menace. Jim Morrison'* volee makes the

record, dark and threatening. 'Telstar' - The Tornadoes

From the pen of genius producer Joe Meek at his

roost creative. Certainly boosted portable organ sales! SWINE: 'Smurf Song' - Father Abraham (not again - Ed)

How come the famous Five never charted? 'Mull Of Kintyre' - Wings

Paul McBoredom at his worst. this can only be

, matched for tedium by the TV programme he wrote the theme for 'You're The One That I Want' - Arthur Mu narA and Hylda Baker

Or Is It Arthur Baker and Hylda Mullard? The orlgtnal was bad enough, but this one goes TOO FAR.

,'Ooo Wakka Doo Wakka Day' - Gilbert O'Sullivan What sort of title Is that? Even worse than the

JOHNNY THUN- DERS: 'So Alone' (Real Records RAL

) ONCE upon a time there` was a hand called the New York Dolls, whose style swivelled from US punk to mid - sixties UK big beat. A sandbag wall of sound that can't be forgotten. Johnny 'Thunders was, of course. guitarist with that band - on top of the many other things he's done - and he repeats the trick on this album

Repeats It more or less, and with mixed genius. One reason it deserves / gets attention, is that the sandbags come from such saleable names as Mike Kettle, Peter Parrett. Steve Jones, Paul Cook and one P. lynott who takes the vocals on the oldie 'Daddy Rolling Stone.'

And there's been, quite rightly, much interest from such astute pundlts as John Peel in the

blistering cavalcade of 'Pipeline', the old Chantey's surfing number, and that piece of timeless hitch dialogue, 'Great Rig Kt.'.

'London Boys' gets a very fine Pistols clone treatment, but there are, aloe, one or two cracks like 'Untouchable' that feel badly like fillers In the face of so much, ah, brIlllance. + + + SUSAN KLU I1it.

It seems that Meson Scott Heron and Jackson struck upon one formula for arrangements, and decided to stick by it come what may for the entire album Every song has the same basic Ingredients, a crisp drum sound. quivering cybais. and an exceptionally annoying flute.

TRADITION: 'Tell Your Friends About Dub' (RCA: PL 20169)

IN AN admirable move from the tradition camp they have conceived and executed the excellent idea of making a cheap price dub album to try and introduce to the public at large, John public if you prefer, to the world of dub music.

The album Itself, full of gentle rolling drum phrases and beautifully echoed vocals only really hints al the possibilities Involved in a really good dub album, but It does leave you feeling fairly saUsfled. It sort of roils by with the occasional nice splash of colour that draws your attention sharply into focus The drummer bangs on his drums with the new beat that Sly brought to tame on Gregory Isaac.' 'Mr Know It AU' add the ef- fect la like George Benson adapting a guitar style that Hendrix had brought to prominence.

Tradition generally remind me of George Benson, not only because their last very successful single was a copy of 'Breealn' but because they are the commercial gentle end of reggae music.

ProducerTyrone David la to be congratulated for the clarity of this recording and attuning the style to ears urac- custnmed to Dub. in their closet tradition have an album entitled 'Tradition In Dub' that Is much more like the genuine article, perhaps next time they will let the world hear the exciting end of

dub that, they mantee nn that album Still this s worth a listen and If It gets you rocking one swinging then only good will fellow. GEOFF TRAVIS

,CHANSON: 'Chanson' (Artois SW 500.39 )

THIS IS an absurd piece of disco music. working only because It

The words originate from the internal workings of the shrine Itself. Disco exists for and because of disco. Reich may come and Freud may go but when you sing, "Don't hold hack. If It feels good. do It " the religious context Is fairly located within the ethos of dlscomanla.

Sex of course Is the hidden allure behind the flashing lights of the actual disco but all words are channeled Into the safety valve of the dance floor. Disco has Its own rules and if you observe them there Is a fair chance you can make a passable disco record. Especially If you have the pedigree that James Jamerson Jnr has, ' Williams.

RACING CARS: 'Bring In The Night' (Chrysalis CHR 1179)

RACING CARS bring back good memories. Some classic gigs down the Nashville, and a gem of a first album. But that was all long gone and this

Elton moves oh Men

i ELTON JOHN 'A Single Man' (Rocket Train 1).

IF Elton's 'Ego' took a battering a few months back there's no sign of permanent damage to his so riling ability on this long awaited album.

Rut 'A Single Man' though liberally fur nlahed with Mt material - has a curious deja vu feeling.

It's not that I don't like to be reminded of 'Country Comfort' and 'Border Song , It's just that 1 would object to paying hard cash for 'Georgia' which recreates the textures and feelings of both rather well. The same goes for 'Return To Paradise which recalls 'Island Girl'. though to be fair It's more of a sequel than a retread,

However, EJ's new partnership with lyricist Gary Osborne has produced several stan- dout tracks. (Paul Buck - master's orchestral arrangements contribute largely to the success of these)

Moat Impressive of the lot is 'Madness where Elton pulls on hie con- siderable resources to produce a fu rio sly paced workout between rattling plan'. line, high pitched vocal. rarer - edged lead Cotter and orchestra

ahorne''s lyrics for this

track - all holocaust and despair would be equally at home In Jeff Wavnes's 'War Of The Worlds'. Which Is no small co - incidence since he worked on that one too.

Elsewhere Osborne's influence" Is not sO noticeable. His subject matter, rhymes and metres end up sounding much like Taupin's with the exception of the silliest track 'Big Dip- per', a rather shy double entendre song that leaves a strange taste in the mouth In spite of

healthy" Injections of Watford NBC and the South Audley Street girl's choir helping out on the chorus. The MoR streak in Elton's instrumental com- positions Is made manifest on the repetitive 'Song For Guy' (ap- oarenty a 17 - year - old messenger boy who tiled In a crash while working for Rocket). Even longer Is the slow funk of 'It Ain't Gonna Be Easy' which strings out a fairly routine 'baby you'd better be good to me or else' theme for what seems to be forever

And of course there's a regulation slow ballad. 'Shine On Through', though nowhere near as strong as say 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me'. conveys the same "man at the Crossroads of his life" sentiments with great restraint and finesse.

Don't Care' Star'sand

is reality. Racing Cars still sound tight and Marty still has one of the finest voices in the biz However their new album has one major fault. The songs are all bloody or- dinary. Perhaps they've lost the spark of In- spiration or perhaps they are aiming for a new market.

The whole album has a distinct Americanised feel, everything has been toned down. Kick out the blues. bring In the blandness. Most of the songs are mid -tempo rockers with no aggression, but plenty of class. The slower num- bers are the most suc- cessful especially the 'Title Track, and the trite catchy 'Waiting For Someone.' Otherwise It Is an album of average west Coast 'rock 'n' roll

Technically It can't be faulted, which la a pity_ Those Nashville gigs were rough 'n' ready and far more FUN than this album could ever hope to be. + + + PHILIP HALL

HAWKLORDS: '2l5 Years On' (Charisma CDS 4014)

THE MUSIC on the new Hawklords' album Is less bizarre than the cover suggests, and at times veers towards commercialism - with a capital 'C'. 'PSI Power' opens the first side, with an acoustic start and Bob Calvert Coming on like an amalgam of Peter Hammitt and Bowie. Soon It becomes elec. tile, filled by harmony vocals and is so catchy, that it's good - a potentially successful single tiler a distorted vocal end. comes Free Fall', commencing with synthesiser from Dave Brock. 'Automaton' Is weird but unfortunately not wonderful and the voices breaking through a synthesised frenzy of sound Is just so much noise However before It finishes, 25 Years' drives In

If you hadn't heard of Hawk wind. It could easily be Imagined that t -taw klotds are a new weave band, Throughout, this album has a very fresh and vital ap. proach. 'Flying Doctor mustn't be taken too seriously, with those Aussie vocals and distant noises from the 'bush' It also features the only real guitar solo from Dave Brock and terminates with the buzz of an aircraft flying over the outback

The final three numbers, which mark the appearances of Siphon (King and Simon House on each. are the highspots. First of all there is 'The Only Ones', u ith its poppy overtones and then. 'tOnlj) The Dreams Of The Cold War Kid'. This is a Culvert composition and Is undoubtedly the finest on the whole album, F"malty, 'The Age Of The Micro Man' heralds further synthesiser work, on a slow paced song of very fuU sound_

The Hawk lords have the ability to do well. though would certainly benefit from a hit single It will be Interesting to see how they fair on stage, especially without the two Simons; King and House. + +

when he does he always complains about having his

meals overcooked or from the fish and chip shop He

she's having a rough Urns of It, even though your

father tends to resent the fact that you invariably side

with her In arguments and tends to take it out

too. Sad to say, short of trying to

father when you feel he's going over the top, there's

not a tremendous amount you can do to ease this

fraught relationship. You'll simply have to live through It as best you

can. If your parents' marriage is Irreparably broken

down and they're staying together simply for the

sake of the children, the now Is still on them, (not you), to resolve their problem..

You're not a kid any more, and while your father's attitude towards you may hurt, you'll have to toughen

up fast, and learn to stand on your own two feet even more. Get yourself up in the morning for start! Things may improve If your father senses that you, for one, are growing up and won't Just accept the everyday tantrums saying nothing.

However hard a time you have al horn*, don't let what's happening jeopardise your school work- If you can't always work In the house use free periods at school or stay later if you can. Try working in a local library.

There must be at least one member of staff you can confide In at school, and U things really do get you down or are affecting your studies, just talk about It,

PROÓÜC TIM LOTT examines the French disco machinery of Cerrone

JEAN-MARC CERRONE has a badly undernourished moustache, greying hair and a height problem.

On the other hand, as his paid lackeys never tire of Informing you. he is cosaplcuously rich. Splattered all over his offices in a green Paris col de -sac are totems to remind everyone of the fact - gold records, and a dozen or so ass ands 'from people and places I've never heard of. Jean Marc is very proud of these.

Cerrone has a job which he Is vary good at; producing hit disco songs 'His records are big all over Europe and America, His new album, dire out October 75, has already gone gold in seven countries.

All of which impresses me not at all, What interests me, however, 1s

'Supernature'. the hit single championed by Kenny Everett.

Weird, synthetic and mystically rhythmic, it Is kilometres away front the monotonous get-down-get-finnky disco offal so beloved

by hairdressers and sweet young things nationwide.

Cerrant,. the creator of both 'Supernature' and !Ls predecessor in England, 'Love In C Minor', Is a 2tt.vear.old Parisian who gotinto music as a teenager so that he could make ' money in order to eat.

This mixture of creativity and a need for financial solvency has led to a Cerrone with two clear sides; the artist and the businessman.

Unlike many English pop contemporaries he is not ashamed of having something of the accountant in his psychological make-up.

For instance, It might surprise you that Cerrone happily admits that he does not like disco music, and is far happier listening to the hip/easy paragons, like Barbra Streisand, Stevie Wonder. George Benson and Chicago.

"They touch me here" he says, pounding his fist to his chest.

More incongruous 'still, Oerrone lists the Beatles, the Animals and the Stases as primary Influences. All a very long way from tan disco synthetics.

"People may like what they can't do.'! wanted to get rich rather than stay poor.

"I :am not a fan of disco music. I made the music for my fans. started the business because I had to eat."

In other words, Jean Marc's musical approach is not entirely untempered by the laws of demand and supply. There is a need for disco music. Cerrone can make lt, It Is only now, with success and zillions of Francs behind him that he can really do what he wants

At least he has found room for an individual approach.

"There are a lot of productions where the sound is stolen from another record. Most disco is very limited and very anonymous. But I have my own sound and I am a person, not lust a production studio. My music is for the head as well as the body.

"Disco music needs stars, not Just studios."

Jean Marcdescribes his own stardom as "reely fantastique". Apart from admiring himself, he hale good word for juartwo other disco stars - The Bee Gees and Donna Summer

Ills own 'sound' he produces m Britain, because he believes we have the best musiccians But he doesn't speak English and is Interviewed via translator which is very tiring and difficult business Involving al most acrobatic leaps front subject to subject as wires become inevitably crossed

JeanMarc is not only confused by the English language but also the English music scene, of which he takes rather a quaint view. The only thing he doesn't like about F,ngland, he says, Is the poonks.

"All this spitting - It is unnecessary."

And I thought Americans were out of touch! Cerrone's vagueness about such matters is further accentuated by his mistaking both The Eagles and Blondie as English groups, He to quite astonished when informed of his error.

Still, ignorance of the United kingdom Is hardly his greatest problem w ith his records selling at an immense rate everywhere except Britain, where he was piqued to discover that 'Supe mature' took about six months to get into the charts.

Cerrone 'a very materialistic view of things - his pride in his gleaming Rolls Royce is barely disguised - is almost Certainly a product of his beginnings In the industry.

The son of a shoe maker, he became interested in music as a child By the age of 12 he as playing drums, and working With groups by the time he reached le.

In his late teens he passed all his diplomas to be a hairdresser but changed his mind about his career at the last minute

Laving on money made front selling small street -scene sketches to tourists in Paris, he eventually got backing to open up a few

record shops in the Parisian suburbs, the profits from which he used to set himself up as a producer.

Oerrone is very much a self-made man, When no record company in France could buy his first album 'Love In C Minor', he imported the album from England Into his os n record shops and sold It with such success that he was eventually signed In his home country.

Now one of the biggest disco stars in the world, he is expanding his outlook a little.

He has just written the soundtrack for a French movie called 'Vice Squad'. He doesn't like the movie, but this, he says "Ls business. I have obligations "

Cerrone's latest project is also involved with movies, but on a rather more personally creative level.

"I hope to be making a film In America this year." he says. "I am looking for stars. It won't be a disco movie, although I, of course. will w rite the soundtrack- i can't say much more about tt now, until a few things are finalised."

But he will not ditch disco music It Is, after all, his Irving.

However, he is rapidly developing an avant garde side. embodied mostly in his extremely unusual use of the svnthealser which, he bays- is essential to his music

"i didn't deride to he disco man", he bay's.

HAWK LORDS

Dave Brock, guitarist of the Hawklords preys

on STEVE GETT 'BOB and I feel that we'H really been working

hard recently, and more important, we've enjoyed It, I hadn't done that for some time, as long as four

years. Usually I dislike going out on the road,

having done it so many times before, hut now Ive found new enthusiasm We're doing things I'le wanted to do for quite a while and the people in the

band have a great deal of energy and drive. '

The speaker is guitarist Dave Brock, who, like his long time companion Fob Calvert. seems to have adopted a totally fresh and lively approach to the latest outfit, The Flaw ktords.

Roth musicians led Hawkwind for many years. but the situation eventually declined and resulted In

their gradual demise Dave and Bob opted to

remain together, and, united with the combined talents of bassist Harvey Bainbridge, keyboardist Steve Swindells and drummer Martin Griffin are venturing towards new horizons.

"By 11111 I'd thought of starting afresh, and after the 'Ftoadhawks' album, I felt that was the last I'd ever lie associated with, as far as 1lawkwind was concerned But somehow through a load of tapes, the remixing them However, I had reached a point at which I found everything boring and frustrating

Yet the band carried on for a while, Intensifying Dave's dilluslon.

"If you work on is building site, filling in walls all the time, you persist with It. using less and leas craftmanshlp; that's exactly what happened with liawkwInd. Also there were a lot of different members involved, and plenty of traumatic internal scenes. In fact It was rather like the intrigues of the Roman Senate,"

Last year he made a decisive move by forming the Sonic assassins down in Devon, where he lives People said he was foolish to leave when h could still masks money with the old hand. But Dave's Assassins played a few gigs and actually recorded an album, which hasn't been released as yet

"The Hawk lords are the Sonic Assassins In actual fact, but the band has only been together as a

working unit for a few months. Bob and I started writing In July. He came down to my place, and there we worked out all of the numbers, Finally it was a question of getting musicians so we enlisted the people we'd been working with "

Within a fortnight the new album wail completed. having been recorded in one week and mixed in another. After recording In Devon, they went im mediately to London. exhausted by lack of proper sleep over the two weeks,

"The mind wanders, and you become inattentive Yes, It was definitely a rushed job. AL the moment we're simply laying the foundations, and Ina Year's time things will he *Whole lot mere together.'

Although a theme runs through the record, the total concept evolves on stage, co-ordiriated with projected film, the dancers and the specially designed sets.

"The slim opens going down a subway, through to a factory and the dancers at -e the factory worker, so everything Is related. It's a Circle of life them*: Sweepingfactory flan, working monotonously on a machine - things that I've done myself, in the past "

I understand that the concert effects had to be produced at breakneck speed. The film was com- pleted only lhtee days before the opening show, and consequently there was is minimum of time fir full rehearsals

Two other musicians on the album were Shaba House and Simon King, yet neither a participating in the gigs

"I'm not at all disappointed," comments Dave "I'm extremely glad. You can only work with some people for so long, because they like to coast along ». there's regular money, without putting themselves out. I wanted dancers In the band and also mime artists but they didn't agree because It would have meant less money. So the tact that those two aren't around does'nt bother me "

However, one Item that has displeased Dave and the rest of the group is the album cover.

It seems that the first 25 MD copies wits have th_ original artwork and the title '25 Years', but thereafter It will simply be called 'The Ha w'klorrls',

A SURE TOUCH MARSHALL H AIN Drury Lane Theatre, London THANK YOU Marshall Hain and most worthy band for the most enjoyable least predictable gig of the year so far. You've no Ida how hard I tried to remain Cynical and bored throughout your set. You see, it is writ that no hand, no matter how good, deserves serious attention if their first single (a disco one at that!) rocket.., up the charts after being virtually Ignored by the music press.

But then Marshall Hain are not a run of the mill band, Neither is Kit Hain one of your ordinary vocalists. Even her homely looking attire and her slightly mumale attitude to other members of the band are at odds with her singing voice, at once strident then almost crooning. This small woman, who rightly hogs the spotlight for much of the show has the unusual talent of making clear the meaning of her lyrics while sacrificing none of the musical ap- peal of each song.

In fact the band bears the hallmarks of the kind of professionalism you would expect from some of the worlds top acts. In other words, they make It all sound end look easy.

Most of the set is a run through of their 'Free Ride' aibum,with a few new numbers thrown in.Unllke their hit, none of these concerns dancing (unless I missed a line of two) and I don't think any disco will be found playing any of them.'Though a pleasure to listen to, tine is no MOR band. Rock Influences abound with dashes of jazz and funk. Their sound balance was admirable, one reason for the success of such in- triguing numbers as 'Sweet And Red', where the vocal harmonies are sung (at times) over the barest backing, and 'Back To The Green' In which Ms Main's guitar playing was heavily featured.

The subtlety of the latter number was not lost on the enthusiastic crowd who warmed to the band right from the start and gavera big hand to their haunting new single 'Coming Home'.

The coup of the night was, however, the creation of a football terrace anthem out of 'Dancing In The City' ... after a perfectly '.straight rendition first.

JOHN WISHART

THE POP GROUP, NICO, LINTON KWESI JOHNSON, CABARET VOLTAIRE. London Electric Ballroom 'THERE WASN'T much dancing at the ballroom on Thursday night This was an evening of music for the intellect and the political conscience. Strictly serious stuff. the names on the bill were of u compatible Ilk. all with that sense of the search for creativity. And the proceeds were going to Amnesty international, fighters for freedom and human rights throughout the world

The gig brought together new bands like Cabaret Voltaire a In longer established ex- perimenters like Rico. John Cale had been ex pected to appear too, but didn't show in the end though it's possible The Pop Group may do some recording with him in the future

The hall was well filled by the time the awesome trio from Sheffield ap- peared Cabaret Voltaire drift into their set gradually, one piece linked to the next by

random radio recordings. Lead and bass lay down simple staccato rhythms while their keyboards player / maintenance man twiddles knobs here and there. At times It threatens like the buzzing of a swarm of killer bees. at others it hypnotises Despite the heavyweight purposefulness of it all, It fascinates wondrously,

Linton Kwesi Johnson on stage is no star. just a man with poems. Some set to reggae, like toasting with high quality lyrics. 'jt Dread Ina Inglan' and 'Man Free' were two poems for prisoners of conscience. Even unaccompanied, he maintains an Insistent, pulsing delivery, putting vital force into lines like 'Steel blade drinking blood in darkness, madness, madness war' (Five Nlghta Of Bleeding), To hear a crowd stamp their feat for an encore of poetry was astounding. Much more could be written, but space forbids

Disappearing to the bar, the opening drones of Nice's set were easily missed, but when Y caught up with her It was only to find that she hasn't changed one little

Straight into action with a yell and a scream, the Pop Group's vocalist Mark Stewart Cuts the classic agonised stance One hand clutches the mike 'desperately, the other he pushes through his 50's quiff obsessively. ae If the devil were driving him to sing.

Theirs is a complicated sound. Bass and drums (Simon Underwood and Bruce Smith) will lead off with recognisable. though far from conventional. heavy rhythms. But these usually break up some way Into the songs with flurries of quicker tempo, and the pained vocals continue throughout, pushing their music to the limits of accessibility.

There's some easier listening, like the lead and bass interplay on 'Dance Without Moving' and the repeating high- pitched riffs in 'Words Disobey Me% rather like Bowie's 'Fame'. They have an earthy funkiness, but It never relaxes quite enough to allow much comfort to set in

Although I approve wholeheartedly of their search for art to pop, the walling clarinet and screeching harmonica finally got the better of me and I had to split,

When they discover how to deliver (heir powerfully Creative works with a little less pain we w ill have a band of major Innovators to deal with. ALEX SKORECKI

GRUPPO SPOR- TIVO Marquee, London THE 'House Full' notice was up by the time I arrived and amid the many aimless huddles of disappointed punters that sprawled across Wardour Street was a solitary guy, Since I had, two tickets I gave him one (free aof charge, of course) and I telt better than the good Samaritan when he told me he had come down from Birmingham just to see the hand.

Hut this Is indicative of the support that this Dutch outfit are now deservedly gathering, The audience was in the palm of their hand. surprisingly, singing

^1111.,

\ ".

- every lyric from the Immensely likeable, '10 Mistakes' album. I say surprisingly because their music isn't about mechanics! sloganeering or mindlessly pretty choruses,

Gruppo Sportive play music In a similar fashion to the way their national learn play football, l.e. with style, intelligence, flair and most Im portantly, wit.

I mean, what other band would write their own 'put down' review as they do with 'Blab Blab Magazines'.

"We are a cross bet- ween Abba and er... "

"yes, we are like the Monkees we have no ideas."

Of course they have the two delightful Gruppettes and the catchy tunes like Abba but there any similarity ends as the engagingly rich and sometimes black humour puts them way ahead of the Scandinavian four- some

As for having no Ideas, well, they managed to display more varieties than Heinz with material from '10 Mistakes' and the forthcoming 'Back To 78' Of the new stuff the schoolgirl bitchiness of 'Bernadette', the In- fectiously catchy single 'Hey Girl', the aforementioned 'fish Blab Magazines' and the slinky reggae of 'Are You Ready' sounded par- ticularly outstanding.

This was the fourth time I've seen the hand and each time a phrase has stuck In my head. The ,

phrase 'Sheer En- joyment' used to be synonymous with a certain cigar ad but Gruppo Sportivo have deservedly com- mandeered It for them. selves.

MIKE GARDNER

LEO SAYER London Palladium NOW LOOK here I did not want to sit through two lousy support acts

1 did not want to see a bunch of singing Australians called Xanadu (Gawd what a name) or the toothy Adge CuUer - who I recall supported Sayer last year. Considering Sayer only tours Britain once a year, could they have not cut out the supports and paid him a little extra to playa little longer?

At last he arrived The cocksure eternal schoolboy with the rubber face. He's been cleverly established in '.he MOR market, but for all of that he's never extinguished his roots.

Once in awhile, the sad faced painted clown shows through and it's almost Ilp trebling. Sayer is the best singing showman produced by Britain In a long time and I always seem to fall for the routine. He gets a certain believable glint in his eye and a certain mournful 1111 In lila voice that makes you watch and listen.

On 'Endless Flight', he stretched out his arms like a dwarf Jesus beseeching the five thousand. But the prime moment was when he ant alone for 'Giving It All Away' a homeless kid from a poor background

Such moments were brief Much of the show ws pure rnzzle dazzle, stocked up with old favourites with a slot for 'The Show Must Go On.' It most certainly will. ROBIN SMITH

MARIANNE FAITiiP'LTLi. Music Machine

Monday night and we all traipse down to see what's up. Is it punk. new, Old. b.o.f.'s, an act or what? Well, actually it's all rather disappointing The first Marianne Faith -

gig for 12 years and after a death -march version of 'As Tears Go By' the bass player's amp blows up. or hasn't he got it plugged in' Marianne tries very hard to look untapped and leaves the stage.

Here follows an !m- promplu jam bye the backing band. How embarrassing everyone starts talking, then she returns, takes up a ballette pose, hands on hips, and the hand launch Into Nick lowe's `Music For Money', (terrible sung) which segues into

'Sister Morphine' (another one) and even by now it's all getting a bit boring, audience chatter makes It difficult to hear her low, husky Chatter In between songs and people are starting to leave

Never mind. although reports have been heard to the contrary Marianne Is looking in very good shape, sporting hairdo circa '08 with black leotard and black leather

WISHBONE ASH Newcastle City Hall ASH TO ashes. A once great band lost In musical debris? I think not

Many of the fans who crowded Newcastle City Hall, were youngsters compared with old ereterans like me. Some of them would have been barely out of primary school (terrifying thought) when the first Ash album was réleased.

Wishbone haven't become a slow and sluggish neutered torn cat after all these years. The vitality Ls still there - the excitement of twin duelling guitars and broad masterstrokes of songs printed indelibly on your memory, Ash look set to be established on new blond for at least the next decade The two hour show was value for money if nothing else

The King came copiously with Wisefield preening himself as he flourished through the guitar fills. But you were allowed mere than just a brief memory of their classic Argos' album Powell revelled In 'Warrior' and for once (I've seen them many times on stage) they Managed to play the quiet passage smoothly.

'You See Red' was a gaudy piece of theatre complete with deep red spotlights. I found Wisetleld more confident vocally with even clearer diction than on the new album. 'Ft'BB' led to the first real outpourings of

999 Bath University

ONE OF the mist un- pleasant aspects of punk Is its menacing quality, a demonstration of this occurred when local band "Studio" stood In as support, did a fine set of clean reek and almost kot thrown off stage for their pains.

999 almost got thrown off stage too, but for different reason, by the end of their set you couldn't see the band they were a small part of what resembled a wild party on stage. a mass of swaying, winging drinking men, Yes men. It s a man's game and you give as good as you get in the way of spit, beer and glaxara - a funny way to enjoy yourself, rslytng more on mob tole than music appreciation

But then, 1199 are not the British legion and Has was no tea party

SHOPPER' AROUND

LAST WEDNESDAY I had a flap, a.la the disco gear provided for me to use at Time Out magazine's massive tenth anniversary party In London's Lyceum was so wonky that only one deck worked! So, 1 spent a sweaty hour and a half ringing around - and trying to find a number that wasn't permanently engaged! - the few disco equipment hire firms who advertise in Record Mirror.

Finally, just an hour before the party started, I got through to the Record k Disco Centre at 355 Rayner. Lane, Pinner (01-868 8637), where owners Andy Mann and Greg Jenson kindly agreed to stick Soun- dout console into a minicab for me ... and It arived literally just In time. (However, don't expect that sort of service unless you're known to them.)

Anyway, on taking the console back to them, I discovered what a UtUe goldmtne their shop Is for disco DJs. As well as Operating a general records department, they specialize in disco product (UK and import), with Iota of oldies and carefully separated In- teresting categories In boxes like Party, Knees -

up, Funnies, TV Themes, DJ Themes, etc. They have drawers full of equipment spares and cheap effects gimmicks, plus they carry a range of disco gear from the cheaper end of the lines of makers like Soundout, Simms / Watt Audiotech.

As I had discovered, their equipment hire department is booming, supplyinmg everything

Jox Yox ZIPPY ZIMMERMAN of the Tony James -fronted Southern Counites National roadshnw (Dorchester 68251) had fun with a radio mike recently. "A few Fridays ago at Wincanton Transport Social Club we were playing until one o'clock but the bar closed at U. and the bar staff naked us to stop for a few minutes while they collected up the glasses. Now, the audience had been good but not particularly willing to join In with competitions, so during the lull I took the radio mike with me and went down Into the audience Intent on having fun with somebody. First, though, I decided to visit the toilet and do the obvious. However, there was a queue ... so out came the radio mike, and a chorus of 'Brown Girl In The Ring' followed. The best thing was that nobody realised they were being heard in the main room, but when they did, the queue disappeared pret)y quick! The audience appreciated this, so to ndd to the fun we sent our roadie out to the changing room, where he panted and groaned into the mike most realistically, much to everyone's enjoyment. When we started up the music again the crowd was right behind us, and a great time followed. We must try that again' '

REFERENDUM RESULT - 'YES'

OUR REFERENDUM posed the question, WOULD YOU BE PREPARED TO PAY L1.50 FOR A 12ín IF IT WAS IN UNLIMITED EDITION? Senalbly, some people qualified their replies by saying that they would only as long as the 12in was longer, remixed or otherwise different and unobtainable on 71n. Others said that they'd prefer a 11.25 price. However, the final result saw the question answered with a fairly resounding "YES", in the ratio of 72 per cent af- firmative and 28 per cent against. And even before the result was known, RCA Records were announeang that they intend to preen more unlimited 191n runs with a new price of 1.1.19. With luck, more and more companies will join the trend, thus making hot 12in hits available to all who want them, even in the most far-flung areas

Worn decks and lighting to fog machines and group PA, and as I then discovered, they give big discounts to bona - flde DJ record buyers: LM 7In at 69p, while imports are 7in at Asp, 12th at 1J 59, LP at 11.85, They're open usually until 7pm. later

on Thursdays, and are right -opposite Woolworths at th southern end of Rayner Lane.

And U you think that this has been a blatant plug, you're wrong they really impressed me.
