AGE OF SUPERGROUPS CONSIDER a group with the following line-up : Eric

Clapton, Steve Winwood, Graham Nash, Alan Price. Or alternatively : Jimi Hendrix , Jeremy Spencer, Bobby Elliott, Ian Anderson. Unorthodox certainly, but maybe not as unlikely as it seems. (See centre pages!)

I WOULD like you to take a deep breath and listen to a few words from an 18-years -old pop star: " The

confusion existing among the young generation today springs from a lack of encouragement. Consider all the great men of our day who came from underprivileged homes , and you will find someone in their past who lent inspira tion and e,1couragement at a time when they were needed most during their adolescent years."

CANNED HEAT FIGHT BLUES PREJUDICE

LI BERTY Records took their time releasing Canned Heat', "Coing Up Country," follow-up to "On The Road

MIKI MIKI is a highly talented young man. He must be because in the now-famous auditions held to select the Monkees, he came right through to the last half-dozen or so! Bur, although long experienced as a group artist, MIKI looks like achieving fame and fortune as a solo singer. His new record "DEAR AUNTIE MARY" c/w "A P iece of Heaven" (RCA 1782) is going great 6uns. If you haven't he:, rd it yet, don't worry-they'll :JI be playing it soon!

THEARCHIES THE ARCIIlES-thar amazing cartoon-character group-haven't yet become widely known in Britain . Soon, however, their TV show nught be networked, and then, as they say in the States, it'll be "everything's Archie"! Their music's already been noted by an ever-growing number of fans, and here's a new release that'll please each and every one of 'em-"FEELIN' SO GOOD" c/w "Love Light" (RCA 1787).

With their debut disc just released, THE ILLUSIVE DREAM. They write all their own material, including the new single-"THE ELECTRIC GARDEN" c/w "Back Again" (RCA 1791). And, they've got a terrific stage act! Look out for them.

Golden-voiced CLODAGH RODGERS makes a very welcome reappearance onto the record scene this week. Her new release, "COME BACK AND SHAKE ME" c/w "I'm A Fantasy" (RCA 1792) has all the charm and quality that have made Clodagh the international favourite she is. Another strong C'Jntender for the charts.

DEAN -FORD: HE'S THE QUIET DEAN FORD Is a quiet, almost mouselike" person off. stage. Yet en, he tears into his songs and belt!i them ov~r, moving around and jumping about. He even rush£.:. into the audience at tlmes and risks being mobbed by the screaming girls In Britain, and adoring males In Israel (where the boys are the ones who make shows of admira.

TORNADO lion).

So you coul d sum him up as the quiet tornado - quie t off-stage and a tornado or action on-st.age.

Dean 11 1 1houghtful lad, who doesn't say much unless he has so mething lo say. Or maybe lhe reason for hls lack of c;pnversa-t ion Is that he ri ps the hell ou t or his 11olce durlni perform• ances and leaves himseU hoarse next day.

Dean like, to do as many things as he can and do them we ll. He is a keen lahle tennis pla~r. bul If he play1 1omeone belier 1han he Is he wlll 11sk how a certain 1hot Is done.

He's a lso a home.boy still, dul na everything he can for his mother and 19-year-ald sister, who live in Coatbridge, where he was born. He look1 forward 10 dates In Scotland 10 he ca n visi t them, He doesn't talk about his father.
