JT'S just fantastic—E.M.l. sold a million copies o f the


Bcallc’s new single. “ I want to hold y o u r hand ” (Parlo- phonc R5084) before the


disc was released ! I would add that the Beatles are in top form again, and they have another rattling good number so they'll rocket to the top of the hit parade again. With good reason ! Incidentally, the news of the


million dollar sale comes only a week after the announcement


that their previous “ single ” release, “ Site loves you,'' had


sold a million copies, which means that within a week the four young men from Mersey­ side had qualified for two gold discs. There is an LP of theirs just


released too, caled " With the B e a t l e s " (Parlophonc PMC


12061. on which 14 freshly recorded titles are featured. They have repeated the success­ ful formula that made their first ” Please Please M e " LP the fastest selling album of 1963. They have included eight of their own original compositions with a batch of personal choice pieces. Here's an LP all tlie fans will want ! The Shadows have also come


up with a disc that has all the makings of a hit in “ Geronimo ” (CohunbiaDB 7163) a clever and


catchy piece of driving rock from the pen of lead guitarist Hank B. Marvin. One of the best tilings the Shadows have done this, very reminiscent of their past successes. On the flip, one of their most


requested numbers—Old Duane Eddy hit "Shazam." given, of course, a completely different approach by the boys ! The Chimes made their Decca


disc debut with " Say it again " (P 117831. a catchy number featuring the lead vocal of 15- J-ears-old Denise Jones. They are a good combination, and in voting Denise they have a find. She's terrific. Expect to hear more from them in future. On the flip the boys, minus Denise, put over beat ballad "Can this he love.” Lead guitarist Tony Back wrote both numbers, and


verv good they are. too. The title of the Kingston


Trio's latest—” Ally ally oxen free" (Capitol CL 15327)—seems a bit gibberish, but the number lias provided an American hit for the popular folk team. So don't let the title put. you oft. The message behind the song


is not dissimilar to that of •• Blowin’ in tile Wind "—the futility of human strife. The tunc is catchy with some effec­ tive whistling flitting in and out of the melody. Could be a hit— ccrtainlv all their fans will like


It. For lovers of light music—


Frank Chocksfield anti his Orohostra playing the theme from "Th e Victors" — ” My Special Dream ’’ and ” Tickled Pink” (Decca F 117821. Excel­ lent.
