"My very fave group, gospel singers called THE STAPLES, have just signed with Epic Records. Can't wait till their first recording is released ... Here is a partial list (there are just too many LPs to mention them all) of the best buys in long-playing albums for this month: Jackie de Shannon's Breakin' It Up On The Beatles' Tour on Liberty; The Bachelors Are Back Again on London; Here Are The Honeycombs on Interphon; Little Richard Is Back and Jimmy Reed At Soul City; both on Vee-Jay; Gerry And The Pacemakers' Second Album on Laurie; I'm On The Outside Looking In with Little Anthony and the Imperials on DCP; The Hondells' Go Little Honda on Mercury; The Manfred Mann Album on Ascot (Doo Wah Diddy Diddy is on this); Dusty (need I say more?) on Phillips; Joan Baez/5 and John Hammond's Big City Blues, both on Vanguard; George Martin's renditions of the music from A Hard Day's Night on United Artists; Frank Wilson's Last Kiss on Josie; and those of you who really do dig authentic American folk music should get Woody Guthrie's Library Of Congress Sessions on Elektra (he's the one who inspired Bobby Dylan to start writing) ... My hip little jazz-boats are instructed to run, don't walk, to the nearest record store and latch on to the very cool sounds of Herbie Mann's Nirvana on Atlantic and Chico Hamilton's Man From Two Worlds on Impulse."
