Juke Box Jury
"A Good Month For Garbage"
June 19
AM radio is on the upswing this month, with ELO still moving up, Stories looking good, The Sweet�s �Blockbuster� a pick to click, and most important of all, new records by unknown groups starting to copy both the new hard rock sound and the new style of �70s production pop. All hell is about to break loose in music - as Mark Lindsay said, I can almost taste it. Next summer, maybe. For now, let�s hope no important records come out on the following labels: A&M, RCA, Motown, London, MGM. None of them send me their records to review in this column, so there�s no Way I could tell you about �em, unless they turn up in a junk pile somewhere.
Most interesting new release lately is �Bank Bank Bullet�/�Black Jack Man� by Streak (Deram 85087), two hot sides from the realm of Alice Cooper, Marcus Hook, the Stones, Sweet, etc. Worth a dollar, any day. We last heard from this group when they were on A&M with �Gonna Have a Good time� (1375), produced by Rodger Bain. Also worth picking up.
