Tracklisting

• David Gates: Took The Last Train (7") Elektra

(JP: 'It does sound like something from Saturday Night Fever...The only amusing aspect to it is his French, which sounded like a graduate of Winston Churchill's school of French')

• Enchantment: If You're Ready (Here It Comes) (7") United Artists

(JP: 'I don't think it would be a hit, but I rather see it as a hit than David Gates')

• unknown: 'Walking Fan'

(JP: 'Sounded like late 60's, 67, 68, something like that... sounded like the kind of Belgian businessmen have put together... a waste of vinyl')

• Randy Meisner: Bad Man (LP - Randy Meisner) Asylum

(JP: 'These days if you make a record in California, you have to be careful because unless you lock the studio doors, the Eagles are likely to come in and say wow guys, you making a record... it's OK it's like California music, which means fairly boring in my book')

• Johnny Rivers: Swayin' To The Music (Slow Dancin') (7") Polydor

(JP: 'He's a version man, he does other people's songs')

• Klark Kent: Don't Care (7") Kryptone

(JP: 'Single I played 3 tracks of it on the programme last night'... A nice little record')

• Robert Palmer: Every Kinda People (7") Island

(JP: 'It leaves me fairly kind of cold')

• Foreigner: Cold As Ice (7") Atlantic

(JP: 'It lacks should I say energy...It's Cold As Ice, as you say, it's flat and it's dead')

• Alan Price: I Wanna Dance (7") Jet

(JP: 'I'm embarrassed, my producer (John Walters) used to work with Alan Price... he's (John Walters) a mate of Alan Price, so I hope neither of them are listening')

• Culture: Love Shine Bright (LP - Harder Than The Rest) Front Line

(JP: 'I think it's beautiful I do and it's a marvelous LP... It does seem to be silly that a 38 year old ex public school boy should be the only person on the radio playing reggae...At the moment I think I enjoy reggae more than any other form of music')

• Judie Tzuke: For You (7") The Rocket

(JP: 'I need to hear it a few more times')

• Who: Who Are You (7" - Had Enough / Who Are You) Polydor

(JP: 'I'm fairly disappointed with that')

• Isley Brothers: Groove With You (7") Epic

(JP: 'I don't think it's great to listen to')

• Elkie Brooks: Since You Went Away (7") A&M

(JP: 'The LP sleeve is terrific')

• Andy Gibb: An Everlasting Love (7") RSO

(JP: 'For me it's absolutely nothing, it's dead')

• Jane Aire & The Belvederes: I'm An Actress (v/a LP - The Akron Compilation) Stiff

(JP: 'So there are a lot of boring stuff from Akron, Ohio, but there are also happily one or two good things, Jane Aire & The Belvederes for example...')
