Now you know where to get your

Castle Hendring videos.

If you were wondering what had happened to Hendring Videos; the answer is nothing - they're just as good as ever. With a line-up of top musical talents like Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison, Bob Marley and Tina Turner, that's hardly surprising. Hendring's always had a great heritage of bestselling music titles, as well as constant favourites such as Sherlock Holmes and the Eisenstein collection - and that won't change.

In fact, all that's different about Hendring is that they've now been fully integrated into the Castle Group to form "Castle Hendring", offering you an even better choice of popular titles. What's more, all Castle Hendring videos are now handled by Parkfield Entertainment, Britain's leading video distributor.

More choice, easier availability and the backing of the Parkfield network - what more could you ask for (apart from the phone number?) Call Parkfield Entertainment Telesales now on 01-368 8822 and ask for the Castle Hendring catalogue in time for Christmas.

"This is an event. Not merely the release of more 'product', but a major milestone in the annals of Rock. Eight songs recorded in 1973 by Queen, one of the great names of post-war international music. Moreover, these are versions of well-known numbers that you will never have heard before!"

REISSUES

by Phil Hardy IT'S NOT onlv love that comes in spurts, for the fortysomethings this Christmas has real possibilit- ies of serendipity. The only ques- tion is what iaentily do you want to look back to. Courtesy of the magic of CD, Hamlrix, Jimi; Dylan, Bob; Roiling Stones, The; and Fifties, Various Ass- ist* Of are all available. The Fifties is generally meant to be anathema to ex-hippies let alone ex-folkies, but in my experience it is the fortysomethings who do best in Fifties/eariy Six- ties pop quizzes. They know about Dream Lovers, whose turn it is to cry, remember places like El Paso and Alaska (let alone New Orieons) and are still in love with Cloudette and Peggy Sue. All of which augurs well for Backline's 10-strong set of American hits (Rockffle, Vols 1 - 10, BLCD9.00731 L-735L and 9.00763L-767L). Each CD features 16 tracks from the likes of

with the occa- siono||r|| offering by Jerry gether they provide 10 aural snapshots of a chart from somewhere in the late Fifties. Even better the tracks have been wonder- fully re-mastered for CD. Where many Fifties analogue recordings sound flat on CDs (like the budget "stereo" reissues of mono hits of a decade or so ago) the Rockfile CDs sound bright, like the original singles (but without the scratches). The track selection is variable but with 16 tracks per CD there's enough goodies to

And then there's Hendrix. Live And Unreleased, The Radio Show (Band Of Joy HBCD 100, distributed by Castle Communi- cations) is quite amazing. A three CD box set, it pulls together material from all stages of Hendrix's career to create a telling portrait of rock's most original guitarist. In contrast to most Hendrix pack- ages and reissues that have focused on one port of his career The Radio Show offers a fully rounded picture. Particularly in- teresting in this context is Hen- drix's developing relationship with Dylan, several of whose songs are featured here. Hendrix sings Dylan far better than most, if only because (like Dylan himself) he so often completely re- works the originals rather than merely offering muted versions of them. Also rather fine is the selection of demo and live recordings, especially the moving Angel and the early version of Red House. The only trouble with the set is that it is a radio show and accordingly the commentary runs between the music tracks (rather than in an accompanying book- let). I doubt that many people will listen to it over and over again. That said it's the best possible in- troduction to Hendrix. Who's the worid's greatest rock'n'roll band (Who indeed!)? Well with the Steel Wheels tour churning up money like no tomorrow, CBS has voted for Tli« Rolling Stono* and acquired the rights to and reissued the Stones entire 1971-1986 cata- PAGE 14

BOB DYLAN: back la thrill the fortysomethings logue, from Sticky Fingers (CBS 4501952) to Dirty Work (CBS 465953 2) as mid-price CDs. Best remembered for Brown Sugar and Wild Horses, Sticky Fingers marked a new stage in the Stones' career. Henceforth they would be self-conscious rebels, the bitterness of Jagger and Richard's songs as such di- rected at the sense of isolation they fell as cassetted superstars as anything else. Sometimes, this works marvellously (Exile On Main Street, CBS 450196 2), with the outstanding Tumbling Dice, sometimes less so (Goats Heads Soup, CBS 450207 2). More significant, however are the live albums, starting with the forcefully titled It's Only Rock'n'Roll (CBS 450202 2) which confirmed their new ident- ity as the world's premier live band. On the other hand Love You Live (CBS450208 2) is a tir- ed rerun of past hits. More straightforward and representative of the fhealricolily of their concerts is 1982's Still Life (CBS 450204 2). Black And Blue (CBS 450203 2) is also a lesser outing, which underlines the misogynism that would dominate the band's later work, and Jagger and Richards' growing tendency to extend their blues-based style by simply bor-

ig comeback with this year's Oh Mercy is a timely reminder of how many limes critics have written him off too quickly just as his, often bizarre, live versions of his past successes are a testament to how central a role he has had in recasting the boundaries of popular music. Hence a loud drum roll of appro- val to CBS reissuing, and at mid- price too, of so many of his albums. Particularly welcome are the earfy works, Bob Dylan (CBS CD 32001), The Times They Are A-Changin' (CBS CD 32021), and Another Side Of Bob Dylan (CBS CD 32034), none of which have before been available on CD, Together with Freewheelin' (reissued last month) they repre- sent Dylan's first flowering, re- capitulating as they do the move from the traditional House Of The Rising Sun and the i

It's Alright to the c, ban surrealism of My Back Pages and All I Really Want To Do. Also new to mid-price is the all

(Hot Stuff) and disc,. .,. _. Some Girls (CBS 450197 2), is a lighter, cleaner album — by now the Stones understood disco — thal,fuelled by its title track, was the group's most successful album for some lime and the perfect launch pad into the Eighties and Emotional Rescue (CBS 450206 2), Tattoo You (CBS 450198 2), Undercover (CBS 450200 2) and Dirty Work (CBS 465953 21. The best of these are Tattoo, with the hard edged hit single. Start Me Up, and the fat- ter sounding Dirty Work. But for Stones fans completing their CD collections there's really little to chose between the albums. One thing is sure: all 17 offerings are guaranteed big sales. In contrast to The Stones, Dylan remains as dangerous as

of Like A Rolling Stone, possioiy Dylan's greatest contri- bution to the evolution of rock. Then there's the gentier and even more puzzling John Wesley Harding (CBS 463359) whose All Along The Watchtower would be transformed first by Hendrix and later by Dylan himself (in live performance) into an all together more threatening song. Equally welcome is the Basement Tapes (CBS 4661372), previously unavailable on CD and once the most bootlegged album of all time, and Before The Flood (CBS CD22137)his first official live al- which with The Band remoulding the past started Live At The Albert Hall — now when will that be made officially available? And there's more, Infi- dels (CBS 460727) and Planet Waves (CBS CD 32154) with its stirring version of Forever Young.

INGLE OF the week

(12/T/CD) VANsll.JHegmff,!- ote^he perfect foil for Cliff Rich- ord's squeolcy-cleon croon on this track from the Avalon Sunset IP. '-a fairly standard bluesy ro.s but it is lifted into another realm by the marvellous piano accompaniment, which is so soarse ond basic it almost makes Van and Cliff sound sexyl DUSTY SPRINGFIELD; In Pri- vate. (Parlophone (12/T/CD) R6234). The revitalised Dusty works her way through another Tennont/Lowe composition with duo's characteristically moum- keyboards giving the song a sui.iewhat tragic feef. It works per- fectly for Dusty, probably because their songwriting has always hark- ed back to her heyday in any case.

STOCK IT THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH: I'll Sail This Ship Alone. (Go! Discs (12) GOD 38). The best track from their mixed debut LP, this is a sparkling ballad that reveals Paul Heaton to insistently maturing song- r. And, >

could take him to the number one slot for the first time since Christmas 1986. ALICE COOPER: House Of Fire. (Epic (12/CD) ALICE 4). Fairly un- narkable attempt to recapture .... glory days, using the same so ' of massed, upfront vocal techniqi as employed on Elected ar. School's Out, but with infinitely less vigour. On the sleeve, one assumes he is supposed to be yelling with rage, but it looks rather more like E.P.M.D.: Too Much To Di (Sleeping Bag (12) SBUK17).The New York rap duo impart a cau- tionary tale about the evils of drinking and driving, in which of them is pulled up by the c.,.. and attempts to explain that the girl !n the passenger seat is in fact aula Aodul. All this is delivered at snail's pace, but DJs are advised .J stick it on early in the evening, before the bevvies start getting downed. SOUL II SOUL: Get A Life. (Ter [12/CD) TEN 284). Disappointinc, follow-up to their last two excellent singles which moves slightly awav from the Seventies feel of the earl- ier material. Here a rap (from Jazzie B?) and a throwaway bluesy vocal from cousin Marcy are inter- spersed with a kiddy chorus, perhaps with an eve on the Christmas market, but the song and th< groove are both lacking. BILL PRITCHARD: Romano Sans Paroles. (Play It Again Sam) (Seven-inch only) (BIAS 146/7). Another fine release from the Midlands singer whose follow- than in Jiis country, hen European references in thi

DUSTY SPRINGFIELD: getting the Pel Shop Boys magic vhere between Morrissey THE BEATMASTERS FEATUR- ING CLAUDIA FONTAINE: Warm Love. (Rhythm King (12) LEFT 37). Nowhere near the strongest track on the Anywayawanna LP. This lacks the pulsating rhythm of songs like Bum It Up, and the bluesy female vocal on the record is identical to the vocal on at least five other singles this

STOCK IT CATHY DENNIS; Just Another Dream. (Polydor (12) CATH 1). Bright debut from the 20-year-old singer who appears on D-Mob's C'mon Get My Love. Pretty much in the vein of artists like Lisa Stansfield but with rather more polish and style. It's her own composition, loo, so expect lots more HUE & CRY: Peaceful Face. (Circa (12) YR 41). In the mould of their recent "acoustic" forays, this is a high class pop ballad with some ingenious melodic twists and turns, emphasised by the simple, uncluttered production. Perhaps a little too adventurous to be a big hit though. GRACE JONES; Love On Top Of Love. (Capitol (12/CD) CL 557). The first single to be released from the Bulletproof Heart LP, and n< one that augurs well. Jones abar. dons her hard-as-nails delivery tor a rather unexii and the song - work is nowhere near as enticing as in days of old. She should rescue Sly & Robbie from their awful current single and set about re-creat- ing the splendours of Nightdubbing et al.

Lay Me - , (12/T/CD) FAN 23). Freed of the clutches of SAW, Sin- Itta comes up with a well-scrubbed but highly melodic pop song th-' could have been pulled from ... old Seventies chart compilation album. Strong chorus and clever production could turn this into - very big hit. GEORGE HARRISON. Che Down. (Dark Horse/WEA (12/CD) W2596). Taken c recent Best Of.. LP, the A-si< produced with Jeff Lynne. It sounds like it was written by Lynne loo, for

bears all the hallmarks of ELO's . ocordings from the eariier part of this decade, save for the My Sweet Lord-ish guitar riff. Harrison's best for quite some time.

STOCK IT SOHO: Boy. (Tarn Tam/S&M (12) SAV 103). First release for the ever-flourishing Tarn Tarn label without ever managing to sell records. Unusually, the 12-inch "Male" mix is better than the radio version, owing to a quite splendid electro bassline. If the two mixes had met somewhere in the middle, this review would be sitting in the lop left hand comer of the page. FASTER PUSSYCAT: Poison Ivy. (Elektra (12) EKR 103). No, not the old song but a fairly subdued burst of hard rock from this US band. The chorus is a bit limp, but irses are improved massively s to a fabulous dual guitar phrase, reminiscent of Thin Lizzy's golden era.

STOCK IT MARILLION; Invisible Guest. (12/T/CD) MARIL 11). A con siderable improvement on nev singer Hogarth's debut sinqlr Hoob On You, which suggested c move into trad HM temtory. Thi; harb back to classic Marillion, wit! a wash of keyboard, slick tempc changes and a powerful lyric leading into a memorable chorus. LOOP: Arc-Lite. (Situation Tr (12) SIT 64). Less grungy and droning than one can usually expect from Loop, but just as repeti- tive. But then they'd claim, that's the idea — to mesmerise the listener in the manner of a religious chant or mantra. On Arc-Lite, though, the rhythm is ever so slightly brisk; brisk to mesmerise anyone not the verge of sleep. THE 'A' TEAM; Arsenal Rap. (WPL (12) WOCK 001). A what humdrum rap from one .... man 'The Red" Stephens, babbling on about the dubious merits of his team's recent fortunes. Remarkable only for the sampled voice of thr wonderful Brian Moore, otherwisr rather dour and workmanlike — like the team, in factl Sorry, js, this record has ended up ' hands of a Spurs supporter.. ust like fellas, If

Mission accomplished

CHARLIE CtLLETT: the 'I think it's mere open to good stuff than anybody takes advantage of. I think the artists and producers are making more conservative music than the record companies want — it's that way round'

journalist, to author, to radio broadcaster, Charlie GiiletKs brief has always been to discover the unusual, to champion the unsung. Adam Blake meets up with a man with a mission

M m 've always been M U ■ a missionary/' ■ says Charlie ■ Gillett, "some- one who believes his taste to be not better than everybody else's, but actually very typical of a whole lot or people who aren't represented on radio." Gillett began his career in the music business with a week- ly column in Record Mirror in 1968. He simultaneously work- ed on a book — The Sound Of The City — which came out

de Burgh's from Roger Wainwright.' Among a plethora of specialist programme are: Organ Stop presented by John Merchant, a musi- cian himself; Ted Grund/s Band- stand and Kelvin Henderson's Country show, shared with BBC Bristol, and Chris Walker's Jazz Sounds shared with Solent. The venerable Stu Coleman hosts The Rocker Returns and Sunday ing brings a "purist rnrlr n'

in 1970 and became a classic work of reference. The book moved Radio London to offer Gillett his own radio show, Honky Tonk, which ran from 1972 to 1978. The show's original premise was to feature all the records mentioned in the book, which meant broad- casting artists never before heard on UK radio, like Roy Brown and Wynonie Harris. The transition from journalist to disc jockey seemed quite logical to Gillett, as he says: "it's better to play a record to people than describe it to them." But many of the records featured on Honky Tonk were unavailable in Britain at that time, so Gillett travelled to America to see what he could find, bring back and get released. The resulting compilation — An- other Saturday Night, issued by Virgin — precipitated a plethora of demos from UK-based artists who liked the sound of it and hoped Gillett might like the sound of them. Ian Dury, Graham Parker, Elvis Cos- tello, Lene Lovich, Dire Straits and, more recently, Paul Hardcastle and Jack 'n' Chill — all have sent demos to Charlie Gillett at some time. Back in the mid-Seventies, Gillett formed Oval records to help pro- duce and issue records by home grown artists who impressed him with their demos. 'We're more of a production company these days", he explains, "there are so ' formats - smallish c< , rupt just in keeping its < over, so I'd rather get the records into shape and then persuade Vir- ally put 'em out. It's important for me to be working directly with people trying to make music. Just as playing records on the radio was a more physical experience than writing about it, even more physical is Titerally trying to make the music itself." In 1980, Gillett moved to Capi- tal Radio where he's been ever since. His first Capital show was called Undercurrent, and was for a while Capital's answer to John Peel, with Gillett playing only Indie records. His next show was The Al- chemist, which involved Interview- ing songwriters such as Mark Knopfier and Sting, Says Gillett: " ing onngs a punsr rocx

and in particular the Tropical records he had been playing, Gillett was chuffed, and reinstated with a brief to play more or less exclusive- ly this kind of record. Initially an hour a week, Foreign Affairs — as it was called — was soon extended to two hours and re-named The City Beats and, re- calls Gillett; "It was pretty much exactly what 1 wanted to ao: play music from all over the place. If I liked a current pop record I'd play that. If I had a yen to play an old Joe Turner record I would — meanwhile playing all the latest records from Zaire etc." The show became what it is now. World Of Difference, when Rich- ard Park chopped an hour off the programme and told Gillett to "drop the pop stuff and just con- centrate on the weird stuff", which I was very frustrated by because, to me, it was hearing the two things side-by-side that made it all so in- teresting. The whole thing about

But Gillett doesn't grumble, he is a rare combination of optimist, realist, scholar and fan and after 20 years his enthusiasm is still boundless. "Absolutely. The theme ed music where you can identify its local origin. So whereas world music is the phrase, I would prefer it to be called Local Music, or Re- gional Music." On the subject of the mainstream music business, Gillett is both chal- lenging and positive: "1 think it's far more wide open to good stuff than anybody fakes advantage of. I think the artists and producers are making more conservative music than the record companies want— it's that way round. Nearly everybody who is signed up shows more originality and creativity on their demos than they wind up present- ing." A mine of information and anec- dotes, a very knowledgeable fel- low, Charlie Gilletfs unusual but always logical observations — as individual as the music he cham- pions — make him a benign sub- versive, the mild mannered musical missionary of UK radio. Th© theme which links my life is I've always liked music where you can identify its local origin. So whereas world music is the phrase, I would prefer H to be called Local Music or Regional Music'

Columbus is one of PDO's special heroes. He showed sceptics his stern, voyaged paradoxically West to seek the East and opened up a New World. We also sailed away from conventional wisdom and invented the Compact Disc to store moving pictures and digitally coded music which could be released at will via a laser beam.

Without Columbus's discovery ours would have had little purpose. New York, New York wouldn't be a wonderful town, there would be no Beale Street and no Blues, no Thomas Alva Edison and no phonograph.

And with no recorded music, the USA, Europe and Japan would not be celebrating the 112th anniversary of Edison's $18 invention by spending $10 billion on 650 million CD's this year. We feed this demand from PDO plants in England, France, Germany and the USA, with single country or multi-country mastering, repli- cation, 6-colour on-disc art, packaging, distribution and promotion.

So at the head of the industry we created, with state of the art product, manufacturing facilities and service levels, is PDO satisfied? No. From Compact Disc, through CD Rom, CD Video and Interactive Compact Disc, PDO's R&D crews voyage on towards further discoveries.

Meantime, telephone Roger Twynham on 01 948 7368 mK- a (courtesy of another great discoverer, Alexander Graham Bell) | for the best Compact Disc product and service package in the Known World.
