BAUGHIVIAI4. "CHR.*ST YOU KNOW -IT Al by Gary Thornbio4Siti 'Yer' Album is one of the best albums to be released in: quite a while. The sound is new and can not be given a simple label as to what type of music it is. Best of all the JanieS Gang comes from nearby Cleveland. and if enough interest cdirld be generated in the group, - they C;ould possibly be brought to perforin here. Members of John Mayan's group have ac claimed Joe 'Walsh -as being the finest guitarist they've encount ered Aile on tour in the U. S. Haing seen the James Gang live many times .1 can only agree. By no means in the background is Tom Kriss who provides a driving bass with all the sound of the now bass player and Jim Po - 3c who is a fantastic drum Mer. MY com ments on the material in this al bum cannot -even attempt to do the group justice, but comment I will. A great portion of the material bas been written by Joe Walsh and he has demonstrated a lot, of talent on this' album. Side one be gins aptirobrirafely with inticiduc lion which I'll give a 50, cause its hard to dance to. Take A Look Around' has Joe Walsh on the key boards and he's great. The middle organ part is beautiful and when Joe's guitar through an echoplex breaks in with a soundly structur ed background the result is really baunting. The end of the song is a good-thing ending but the past can't be forgdtten. Jim Fox ends with some real good drum work. Funk N. 48 combines the lead and bass to . - form what is really . two leads. This cut shOws Toni Kriss's outstanding ability -to move. The -harmony ) singing also makes this an interesting arrangement. The introduction to Bluebird is written and performed on piano by Jim Fox and shows he's more than a drummer. Bluebird is an old Steve Stills tune and is rearranged here. It's dedicated to the Springfield ,and all' their descendants. Here again is Joe's fantastic guitars at work, all 11,3'86 of them. The last cut on side one is perhaps the best example of the . James . Gang live. The song is a Yardbirds song - and contains' some remarkable solo Work by each of th 6 artists. It must be felt to liefiev. • Side *a Atritie - itap, which is exactly that: Vre Nittattß. critep MEMBER OF . Intercollegiate Press Bureau The Nittany CUB is: the official publication of The Behr end Campus of the Pennsylvania State University, located in the Reed- Union Bldg. Station Road Erie, Pa. 16510 the most beautiful song on the album. The lyrics in their simpli city are really heavy. Joe Walsh's guitar is superb and the strings in the backgrOund give the song a really soft touch. I Don't Have' The Time was previously released as a single and features a driving bass, with interesting lyrics and once again a fantastic lead. Wrapcity In English .is Joe Walsh on piano with the Seymour Barab Strings providing the baakgroinid. The only complaint about this song is that it isn't kinger. Fred is cer tainly very straaaaaang. The double • guitar ride really comes through great With stereo head phones. The ending is very differ ent and again strange. Stop is the last track on. the album and is the longest. 'While being long, it keeps Your interest With the ever-chang ing guitar work. Toth Kriss pro vides some very fine bass work from the Middle on. The albnin - Was engineefed to give - excellent sound at high vol ume. Every song was recorded with a lot of Care and the auality of the sound is evident. The in side art work is really heavy. I really hope enough interest can be generated in the James Gang and they can be brought here to per form. Their sound is the result of a • lot of hard work and they de serve your support.

Riot -:' Press Release SDS National Headquarters I'73a Massachusetts Avenue Boston, Btais. 02115 (611) 267-6152 On Wednesday, October 1, a group of provocateurs claiming to be from SDS attacked students and teachers at Boston English High School. The week before, this same gang had attacked campus workers at Harvard i s Center for International Affairs. Similar - in cidents have occurred in other parts of the country. In Detroit, nine women broke into an exam at McComb Community College declar ing that it was over—and the students should listen to them. When two students got up to leave, they were attacked with karate. These actions were all the work of a groin P- Of police-agents and hate-the people lunatics who walked out of SDS 'at the June convention be cause their ideas had been rejected. Led nationally by Mark Rudd, this gang calling itself "SDS" and -"Revolutionary Youth" has ab solutely nothing to do with SDS! They've been running all around the country attacking the people! No SDS chapter supportS them! ConclltioriS in schools around the country are rotten: Many high school students have rebelled, fighing to change things. Working people face steadily deteriorating conditions, and are fighting back harder and harder, as witnessed by the tremendous increase. in Stiikes and wilddats over the last few Years. The bankers -and big, business• men who run - the- country -, are using Rudd's , clicjue . for two purposes. •First, to divert _people so that they won't fight back any- Smith is going to make it com mercially, they play heavy, and generally empty music, it's sim ple • and has a beat, the only thing worth while in the . group is Gayle McCormack, the- chick singer. Gayle has the best hard rock voice of any chick I've ever heard (I classify Janis Joplin, Tracey-Nelson, and Tina Turner as blues singers), she turns the Shirelles old hit, Baby It's You, into a three minute orgasm. List en to- her moan out the last chorus of I Just Want to Make. Love To You. where she changes the wording to "Ah just wanna GET IT ONNN WITH YOU"! it's enough to get • an entire Fill more East audience quite hoiny. Gayle sings on three other num bers, they make the album worth while. The .niale singer is not credit ed, probably for his own pro teCtion,, he is the opposite of Cory Wells, where Wells is his trionic., the Smith cat sings with all the guts of a drag queen. The frighteningly bland job done on 'Silto Do You Love shouldn't be: heard until you've had sever al tumblers of wine, it's that bad. The rest of the songs are mostly Rolling Stone numbers, done with all the feeling of say, a Vanilla Fudge (Smith is that bad). The IVICS is a bad group too, they can't play, Rob Tyner can't sing, but they play so loud and with so much emotion you can't help but dig them. I have a theory that the best way to bring about revolution (I'll say cultural) is to live as if the revolution has happened, and, you end up creating your own scene. The Beatles new trend of back to .hard rock demonstrates this; as does Nashville Skylin'e, the Beatles and Dylan have trans cended progression for content ment, you come to theni, arid they'll be there.

Sinclair was holding two joints, ten years for that? Murderers have gotten off with lass, god bless law and ordure. At any rate; the MCS try, but their revolution is essentially chaotic, and so , is their music, there's nothing catchy, there's nothing that sticks with you, but every song has such a high ener gy- level it's exhilarating to hear this is ballsy and really heavy Music, when Chuck Berry sang about "I need a shot of Rythm and Blues" he meant the feeling of catharthis and strength that the MCS produce, by sheer ener gy.
