Ken Griffin Leads ‘Off-Label ' Recordings to Top Releases

Rondo Issues Blank Album for Fans Of Organist; ‘Special Edition’ Offered

By DONNA MIKELS The off-lebels have it for potential disc hits in new releases

this week.

Sure to attract widespread interest is Rondo’s album of their No. 1 star, Ken Griffin, whose “You Can’t Be True, Dear” shot the little-known label to the top of the best-selling polls. The company has issued several records since G Griffin's “True”

hit, and now they've made up an album, “Ken Griffin at the Organ,” with space for three 10inch discs. Record buyers may choose any three Griffin discs in stock at the record shops to fil] the album, As “a side note, one ‘of Griffin's “new” records which he “introduced” (those were his words on a radio show several weeks back) is “Every Little Movement.” This “new” tune was new for the first time in the “Follies of 1909,” and when it was recorded on an Edison cylinder Jooord back in 1910.

A ONE-SHOT “.gpecial Edition” album has been issued by American Recording Co. under the direction of George Avakian, The album contains pressings of sev-

eral old “collectors’ items” and a

couple of tunes never before released. 1t was made up for. spe-

by the late Russ Columbo, “I See Two Lovers,” and “Too

utes “Wild Man” and

Lamm, and “Beg ‘Your Pardon” and “I'm Looking for a Sweetheart,” sung by Bob Lamm and the Dixie Dons with Francis Craig's orchestra. Bullet also has star material in Ronnie Deuville, a smooth vocalist who sings the up-and-coming “My Happiness” and “You Can't Be True, Dear” on a néw Bullet disc. Ronnie now is scheduled to

Tex Beneke orchestra. He formerly sang with Glen Gray and used to sit behind Beneke in the brass section of the Glenn Miller orchestra.

" ” » COLUMBIA — Woody Herman does an adequate job of describing the quality of his latest disc in the title, “Keen and Peachy,” wherein his reorganized band builds one of those intricate Herman masterpieces around a simple theme. Second side is a bluesy Woody monolog special, “I Got News for You.” An old favorite and a. new: comer in the female chirping

Albums Included In New Releases

By CHARLES WEDDLE Among the new concert releases are two sparkling Spare {sh - symphonic works—both French composers, YEHUDI MENUHIN, Xiolinist, plays “Symphonie Espagnole” by Lalo. Mr. Menuhin recorded his album with the Orchestre Colonne in ‘Paris. Jean Fournet is coniductor. “Symphonie Espagnole” is probably one of the most famous of all symphonic compositions in the Spanish style, It consists of five colorful movements. The work is more a suite for violin and orchestra than a sympheny. The “Symphonie” is a continuous splashing of vivid melodies and dashing rhythms. Mr. Menu-| hin and the famous Paris orches-

"Aim High In Buying Records —It Will Save Time, Money’

Listeners Advised to By-Pass Obvious Items,

Let Bach, Brahms Shape Listening Habits

By HENRY BUTLER A reviewer isn’t supposed to be too brash a salesman. But I find it hard not to go all out for the Robert Shaw Chorale version of the Brahms “Deutsches Requiem,”

Victor.

e Requiem of the best of Brahms, just as the aMss contains some of the best ‘of Bach. Both compositions are. absolutely basic to any good recording collection. » » I STRESS THAT point because I think a good many beginning collectors are apt to be scared away by the size, price and “deepness” of the Bach (two albums, 17 records) just as they're apt to be frightened by the solemnity of the Brahms. Most people who develop musical taste through recordings seem to need a good many spectacular or tear-jerking symphonies and concertos before they can enjoy more substantial music. ‘Here's a suggestion: to collec tors ‘and also to parents of children studying music: You save time and money if you by-pass some of the more obvious itéms and get the Bach and Brahms as soon as possible.

THERE'S ONLY ONE difficulty in all this for those of us who can't afford the biggest, best and | latest-model phonographs. On a mediocre machine, neither the Bach nor the Brahms can be heard to best advantage. fidelity is essential for both. Listeners accustomed to a large-chorus performance of the Requiem may find the Shaw version lacking in body. While Mr. Shaw's singers are technically ex-
