He Is a revelation to watch:' the podgy performer whips up party time like its the most natural thing in the world and enjoys himself so much It's quite touching.

Later . . . back in Jimmy's dressing room his mood doesn't Change one Iota. This guy is 100 per cent serious about being a gas on stage but even off It he's just as amiable.

"I make music for people to enjoy, so they can be happy. I don't like all this self Indulgence, It's a bore and I get mad when I think about performers who go on stage half hearttdly and give the audience a load of rubbish. Unfortunately just because they're superstars the audience laps it up,"

Super star he ain't, Entertainer of the highest order he is.

Jimmy, no Johnny come - lately to the music biz has been around for ages. For over a decade he's been recording flops (about

"People still don't believe me when I say that 'I'll Go Where Your Music Takes Me' was my very first hit in Britain. They think Ito kiddin' em on, "

But It was of course, And as they say when the overdue train's in sight 'It's been a long Ume comin .

"Actually I dldn 1 mind the wait," he giggles, revealing ultra - white bright teeth which would upstage even the SR ad.

'I've always had a lot of work in clubs and always had people come see my act. I've managed to keep my feet level on the ground. Sure there were times when I felt I was glttln' nowhere fast - particularly when all that flower power -thing was popular and that heavy rock era - but music goes in cycles and I knew soul would never fade out completely, "

His biggest break came when he met Biddu -

overlord producer / w rlter of sophisticated soul music.

Biddu (also muter mind behind Tins Charles and dare I mention karate Chop trouper Carl Douglas). took him under his wing and gave Jimmy the hit hed'd been hoping for,

Now (and this is why we're gathered together today) Jimmy looks like he's all set for hit number two with 'Now Is The Time' which isn't as soul oriented as 'l U Go Where' but nonetheless Is a soap little pop tune with an enigmatic, unforgettable Chorus hook.

"R's on the latest abum which la called 'Now', but the single version had to edited down from six to three minutes and the whole thing rearranged "

The album, Jimmy maintains, la different from his past recordings In that It contain. various soulful moods -

"There's one track called 'Stay With Me' which Is different from the stuff I normally do; the instrumentation le beautiful. When I heard it for the Oral time I said to Biddu 'How Can I do It

Back to front with Genesis WHEN IS a drummer not a drummer? When he le lead singer with Genesis, of course.

Phil Collins has successfully made the big transition from being behind the kit to becoming the man out front.

It was not an easy move to make, since he had to ell the place left empty by the departure of their entertaining wordmonger Peter Gabriel, but Judging by the success of their last album and recent tours, those who predicted their downfall when he left were rather premature with their prophecies.

Genesis have gone from strength to strength. developing gradually to emerge scone of Britain's most inventive bands of the Seventies.

They have only had one big single, 'Wardrobe', but keep on trying in that field, while their albums are Inatant best sellers and their concert appear- ances Boon sellout.

The Genesis story begins In the late Sixties when basa player Michael Rutherford. keyboards player Tony Banks and Gabriel met at college. With Tony Philips on guitar and John Mayhew on drums they made the first Genesis albums 'From Genesis To Revela lion' for Decca in 101íP. and 'Trespass' for Quart ama the next year.

"1 came In six years ago " Phil takes up the history. "They were working as a four piece as they couldn't find a guitarist. The drummer had been kicked Out and the guitarist left of his own accord.

--A 7, , .f OW, , J/` .. .'.

Steve (Hackett) was advertising for work, we saw him and he had a good head for sound, so he was In."

There then followed a long consolidation period, endless slogging round the UK circuit, package tours and ever improving albums, which contain Genesis classics, still called for today at their gigs, and 'Nursery

yme', 'Foxtrot', 'Sell Ing England By The Pound', are still Rya liable and In demand.

After listening to about 400 tapes and seeing 40 people they were no satisfied they had found a substitute.

"I wanted to have a go, but was waiting to be asked," admits Phil. "1 realised It wouldn't be easy, being the drummer. but most of material was going to be accoustic at that lime, so I had s fling."

The fling worked - al proved by 'A TrIck Of The Tall', the first album minus Gabriel, and the best seller to date.

But another problem had now arisen. With Phil taking lead vocals, who wan going to drum? Phil still anted to do the recording side, but suitable tan ~ate was required for live work

In Bill Bruford, former Yes man and a much in demand session worker, they found first the right person, though he Is not a perma rant member. Had' they been worried the change of personnel would not work?

"Hmm, not realty," Phil muses, rubbing his beard. "As far an we were concerned the album was good and we knew we could perform it. But we were surprised when the album came straight in al number twee In the chart,. That ',wetly put a full stop at the end of the sentence

After Mx weeks in rehearsal a warm-up tour In Canada reassured their situation, and it has been a success story ever since.

"What we need now is a hit single in America," Phil aid. "It's okay to have an album high in the charts but tt is a single in the top 30 that really counts there.

"I think our music le suitable chart material, 1 mean we write songs rather then mini -operas, and the emphols has always been on songs with melody and a strong honk."

RECORD MIRROR 6, DISC JULY 24, 1976 11

reviewed by David Hancock

Nita

StYlístics smooth the way THE STYLISTICS ' Sa- teen Bars' (HbL 6105 059) Eddie Calvert Intro Into shuffle smoothy with those oh so false-etto vocals. Brilliant Hugo and Luigi production and a cert natch

RALPH CARTER: 'Love Is Like Art Itching In My Heart' (Mercury 6187379)

Beautiful rendering of the old Motown song that hustles and shuffles and has you singing along on the chorus His last single, 'Extra Extra' was huge in the States and well received here. This should finally do it for the young mart

THE MONKEES: 'Day- dream Believer (Arista 63) A nostalgia classic of the first order that should incite a whole new generation to search out the real meaning behind those lyrics.

SWEET SENSATION: 'Mall Train' (Pys 7N 45613) New lead singer but old time la - la hook melody that moves along with all toes tapping. Much too simple but still a contender.

SUNFIGHTER: 'Drag Race O vain' (EMI 2493) Mediocre toned - down Sweet influences plus a production big enough to cover al the cracks and every gimmick imagine able from spoken bit to false ending but it will get you a place on TOTP and presumably one In the charts.

BELLAMY BROTHERS: 'Satin Sheets' (Curb K 16775) None of the flow of the lest one and an excruciating chorus hook that goes: 'Hallelujah, let me sock it to ye' but that nice down home feel is catchy in the Carter For President way.

SPEEDY KEEN: 'Your Love' (Island WIP 6314) Insidious repetitive hymn from Speedy that carries the listener well, finishing lust before it turns into a dirge. A clever man and a hopeful winner.

SHEER ELEGANCE: 'ICs Temptation' (Pys 7N 25715) A more positive arrange- ment doesn't really carry this 'jailbah' sex song that relies too heavily on a minimal chorus hook. Nevertheless they haven't failed so far and even mediocrity can squeeze into charts.

M k 1.7 STYLi'STICS brJJllen ( production

Maqkai.. The word is perhaps ALVIN STARDUST: 'The Word Is Out' (Magnet HAG 71) Piano -based pseudo reg- gae shuffler with back echo vocals from nice guy Alvin gives him his strongest contender for some time. Each way catchy bet,

SHOWADOYWADDY: 'Take Me In Your Arms' (Bell 14891 Do wop wop double take back-up vocals and acoustic guitar on a medium paced number penned by the group. Not as blatantly time -warped as usual but then it is following a minimal hit,

PRELUDE: 'Never Be Anyone Else But You' (Pys 7N 458121 Sickly bland pseudo - Linda Ronstadt flat countryfied jangling piano ditty with an Everly Brothers title line (I hope). Anyway it's safe enough to make the Beeb airplay list, more's the pitY.

LINDA LEWIS: 'This Time I'll Be Sweeter (Arista fib) Tender, almost Diana Ross type slowie gives Linda her best offering for ages with this slowed up

Mum.. Yesterday's yawn

DON EVERLY: 'Yester- day Just Passed M y Way Again' (DJM DJS 106,92) Yawn There's nothing even tunny about this dreadful dragging country sung Don't know about yesterday but if sounds es it the boy will have a job making it tomorrow.

ALICE COOPER: 'I Never Cry' (Werner* K 167921 Slowed up plaintive Alice from the new show (when are we going to see 671. Outpourings of the heart are good but they ain't charters.

PAPERLACE: 'I Think I'm Gonna Lie It' (EMI 2486) Easy - on - the - ear mainstream pop but without the hard edge of

their previous hits. $uprising if such a flimsy piece of lace gets them hack in charts.

MEDICINE HEAD: 'It's Natural' (Barn 2014 102) Chooga - chooga train rhythm gives away the mode of travelling on this otherwise sparse nonent- ity, which, like most train Journeys, is en infallible cure for insomniacs. Sleep on boys

THE RIM SHOTS 'Su- per Disco' (All Pteti-

mum 6146 3161 One time leaders of the disco race cut it slower and less clean than before with something that sounds like computerised derxeabiity. Ina make the breakers, they always do.

DONEVERLY,' dragging

JOHN HOLT: 'Wasted Days And Nights' (CanbbeenCBN 310) Plastic echo reggae that's into it's own shuffle beat rather than the talents of Mr Holt. Wasted vinyl and wasted time.

TONY MONOPOLY: 'You Can Do It Better With MI a (BUK 3008) Holiday camp style bouncer from a colonial- ists Engiebert. Dated dross of the very worst kind.

GRAHAM PARKER AND THE RUMOURt 'Soul Shoes (Ventrgo 9069 147) Class rock with escelient guitar work and raucous phrasing. No chance 'cos ifs not the Stones. Pity,

RAMONES 'Blitzkrieg Bop' (Sire 6078601)

"9' r. Hey ho let's go ultimate l E. punko. Great for dancing or beating somebody over the head Instant crash- / Ho manic chords with great breaks on the 'bop'. It deserves to be massive but somehow I don't think everybody's quite

ry'(Mercury 6187 380) Jim and Bob change to less exaggerated me- dium.paced former coup try loon with a likeable hook Another each way bet boys.

B. T. EXPRESS: 'Can't Stop Groovin' Now, Winne Do It Some More (EMIINT522) Highly predictable disco mover from one of

'America's premier funk hands. A test case to see If the discos eta] break records.

STEVE COLYER: Want To Stay Togeth- er' (Polydor 2068 7551 David Essex -produced trite song with ultimately Gass lyrics and no reel

catchy hook. Unfortu- nately the sort of thing the Beeb considers "safe".

SHARON FORRESTER: 'Mats Comes The Sun' (Vulcan 1011) Well it's different from both the original and Steve Harley's current version having been given an under -emphasised reg- gae beat. But itiere has to be one) her voice thine on the higher notes so . . . interesting benie.

SASSAFRAS: 'Smell Town Talk' (Chrysalis CHS 2098) Lazy John Sebastian feel to a song that's probably hazy enough to make it. Lethargic whistler for humid days.

HOT BETWEEN THE WRAPPERS HOT CHOCOLATE: 'Man to Man IRAK SRAK 522) Errol and the boys third album to date should keep the fans occupied while they take on America The title track has already proved itself, and there's the 'Sexy Thing' follow up'Don t Stop It Now' and 'You Could Have Been A Lady' for good measure. The gentler side is displayed on 'Seventeen Years Of Age', while another title 'Sex Appeal' sums up the basic appeal of

their own brand of funk, an assumption further confirmed by examination of the lyrics of 'Sugar Daddy' and 'Heaven Is In The Back Seat Of My Cadillac'. The hand's own sound is rounded off by the use of CCS's brass section to add more variety. Hot Chocolate have a huge following worn by their exciting concerts and several hits. This album will give a lot of pleasure to them all,

SASSAFRAS: 'Riding High' (Chrysalli CHR 1100) A much improved product from a much improved band you may have had the chance to catch In your neighbour- hood. They are already darlings of the college and club circuit and 'Riding High' shows why. Try 'New York Collapse', which opens the second side, for a starter, it begins with sirens wailing and then belts through at varying speeds and directions which even- tually grind to a halt in

- time for the bird calls and whistling of 'Small Town Tall', a neat choice for single release and catchy enough to please the masses, as Is 'Nothin' To

Lose' with It's effective catchl(ne. This set goes a long way towards illustrating that contem- porary rock doesn't always have to sound the same.

David Brown THE MANHATTANS (CBS 815131 Having established them selves with 'Kiss And Say Goodbye', this album is a logical next step, in - eluding the smash hit and further examples of their deep soul, Vocally they are one of the best new groups to hit us. using strong harmonies, emo- tional lead ins and spoken segments, plus powerful lead vocals. The material e mainly of a similar pace and sentiment as the

single, though there are one or two up tempo numbers such as the opening title 'Searching For Love' and one of the least successful numbers 'La La La Wish Upon A Star' which is pure slopsville But on the strength of 'Kiss' and this album we should hear a lot of this band and it's a good trailer for a potential visit In the near future.
