ROCK-A-RAMA
D&B TOGETHER - Delaney & Bonnie (Columbia):: They’ve left Atlantic, and as if to prove it they hurried this thing out. It sounds like a bunch of outtakes from the previous Atlantic stuff, and it’s so poor it’s no wonder the musicians aren’t credited.

It sounds like a bunch of outtakes from the previous Atlantic stuff, and it’s so poor it’s no wonder the musicians aren’t credited. Cmon, kids, take some time and do it right — we know you can.
GONE TO MY HEAD! - Andy Bown (Mercury):: Put it on because it had some of Rod Stewart’s backup band — Waller and so on — and the first two cuts, “Pale Shadow (Of His Former Self)” and “Gone To My Head,” were stone knockouts, rockers with some feeling. From there on out, though, it got Arty and, hence, boring. But he’s got talent in there somewhere ...
J.F. MURPHY & SALT (Elektra):: Hypesville. These guys weren’t bad when they were on MGM, where they made a fairly promising album even if the lead song did have the words “rock ‘n’ roll” in its title. New Elektra’s got ’em and they suck — anybody who puts bagpipes on tWo albums in a row deserves to have the lid of Little Richard’s piano slammed on their knuckles.
