—"In Deep"
ARGENT—"In Deep"
This is one of the most well performed records to be heard. Argent is one of the most tight sounding groups around—all members are great musicians. Even variety is in their music to suit everyone's tastes, characterized by real decent harmony. Argent's sound ranges from very soft,软萌 melodies to an easy but radar Renaissance. Exceptional songs like "Gave Rockin' You to Yeats, Part One and Two" and "It's Only Money, Parts One and Two." It's a phenomenal musical trip with headphones.
STEVE MILLER BAND—"Anthology"
of all the exceptional guitarists, the least known may be Steve Miller. He plays guitar like Eric Clapton and Duane Allman. His music includes mixing one with a greater emphasis on the easy sounds. The group's sound is more together in its softer sounds than the harder ones. Vocals and harmonies are good and Miller's play is great — except for keyboard work. Good songs are "Baby's House," "Seasons" and "Motherless Children." Every cut in the entire two-record set is good. A good album for soft nights.
The original Savoy Brown's call to fame was their ability to drive a song. But their sound became stagnant and the members split. Foghat is the result of that split. But Davy Brown never did. So Davy Brown ever had, Rod Price, lead guitar and slide, is exceptional and
dominates the group. The drums, guitar and a double neck bass keeps the songs moving. Foghat's sound is primarily a strong drive and an exceptional album when one is in a mood to move around. Great songs include "She's Gone" and "Long Way to Go."
J. GEILS BAND-Full House
J. Gells is a super tight, hard driving band that is guaranteed to make one get up and move. This is the greatest 'live' recording that has been heard from any group. Peter Wolf, vocals, is really a strong male singer with just enough roughness to put him in a class by himself. The drums really stand out, as does J. Gells on guitar and Magic Band. You can listen to the volume turned up. Exceptional songs include "Hard Driving Man," "First I Look at the Purse" and "Homework."

Spirit Makes Album Good Dance Music
Kansan Reviews Editor
By DIANE YEAMANS
Many contrasting sounds and moods combined with an abundance of spirit makes Labelle's new album, "Pressure Cookin'," one of the best currently on the
Feet jump to the music without effort,
and the smile of the children's songs will be loved
on the dance floor.
Social comments and romance are played against each other on rocking soul, blues and ballad formats to make a balanced album—one for easy listening.
The most talented member of the group is probably Nana Hendraxy, who wrote seven of the nine songs on the album. Her quality of writing, making it difficult to select her best.
The trio of women that comprise Labelle live every song on "Pressure Cookin", as is the norm for good soul music. Their spirit makes the album electric.
Hendryx wrote the title song, "Pressure Cookin'," which sets a standard that is kept throughout the album. The song is about big city life, particular relationships and pronounce accentual perceptions about man, life, love and other common items. These truisms are part of what makes her songs so good. One of her hits was "I'll Have You," in which man without a cause could lose his soul."
But, Labelle is a trio and it's the way Kendrys's songs are carried out that makes the whole album great. Patti Labelle, the lead singer, and Sarah Dash are the other two members of the talented trio that has developed her talents in a way that helps balance the trio such.
A clavinet, an instrument found rather seldom in today's music, is used. It's a small keyboard instrument similar to a clavichord. The clavinet gives a small, thin sound that blends beautifully with a guitar. On this album the clavinet is used paraphrastically. You see it in the Light." The instrument is mingled with the guitar and congas to appropriately introduce the words "Feelin' freely, feelin' good."
The trio and Andre Lewis arranged the songs. The combination is an excellent one. Lewis is versatile, playing the bass guitar, drums and organisms and clavinet in the background music.
"Last Dance" is particularly good. The song jumps from a bounced sound into great heights.
A medley of two songs, "Something's in the air," by John Keen and "The Revolution Will Not be Televised," by Gill Scott-Heron, is the novelty item on the
album. The song says "the (black) revolution's here and you know that it's right." Patti Labelle talks through "the Revolution will Not Be Televised." The song is filled with surcum, directed toward the establishment. The words hold the listener.
The "Pressure Cookin' album is filled with good music. Something is offered for everyone, and everyone will miss a bit of it. The album becomes well acquainted with the album.
A GREAT AMERICAN TRAGEDY. The problem a man has is to find the identity of his family and he is family first. afterwards are examined, 100 years later, and then he is found dead.

A New Kink In Foldouts: Nude Couple
NEW YORK (AP) -Penthouse International, Ltd., publishers of the magazine Penthouse, will introduce a new women's magazine called Viva next month, according to Kathy Keeton, group advertising director.
The first issue will include an interview with Norman Mialer on women and marriage, a short story by Joyce Carol Oates and a color layout on a nude couple who are in love. The latter will be a regular feature.
"Our premise is that men and women love each other." Keeton said. "Extremists in the women's liberation movement would disapprove of the magazine."
Stevens' lyrics reflect his hopelessly romantic character, describing emotionally his insights on life and love. In "The Hurt he sings" 'I'll I got hurt, I didn't know what
Besides the color spreads, Viva will carry stories on art theatre, cosmetic surgery and dance.
"Sex is the dominant human emotion. What's wrong with it? It's never done anyone any harm, just the suppression of it bus. You can't suppress an innate natural instinct," said Keeton, who formerly worked as an exotic dancer in England.
A million copies will be available next month at $1 per copy.
The Viva-Penthouse concept is that sex is fun and good entertainment, according to the latest industry report.

Pictorial Essay Explores Changing American Ideals
By SHARON BALLANTYNE
Kansan Revlewer
The changing American attitudes in a historical perspective is explored by Judith Mara Gurman in her pictorial essay, "Is America Used Up?"
The book focuses on the dying sense of
American adventure. The days are gone when the whole person is expressed in his work, family and recreation. Gutman contends that Americans have quit taking part in expanding their horizons. To her, America is in a state of hopeless amillessness.
