...Beatles are unforgettable," says Carol Singer, music director of WRKO in Boston. That remark may become the platitude of the half-century. It is seven years since the group's final album was issued, eleven years since they last performed together in public. Yet WRKO is only one of hundreds of radio stations across the U.S. scheduling Beatles marathons and playing such old faithfuls as Hey Jude and Get Back regularly. In record shops last week, three of the bestselling albums were by the Beatles-including a newly issued "live" recording made at the Hollywood Bowl...
...Barbra Streisand's T shirt does not stand for self-effacing. It advertises her latest record album, Superman. In one of the songs, Don't Believe What You Read, La Streisand puts journalists in their place with a flex of her mighty vocal cords. It seems that a Los Angeles columnist got it wrong in claiming that Barbra allows her pet birds to fly freely indoors at home, dropping "little messages" all over the place.

ELP, as they are also known, responded by offering a generous sampling from their new double LP album Works, Volume 1. That included nothing less than a full-fledged Piano Concerto No. 1 by Emerson, which sounded more Bartók than rock 'n' roll...
...Morrison: A Period of Transition (Warner Bros.). On his first album in three years, Morrison is neither the rock 'n' roller of his early Belfast days, nor the melismatic improviser he has been through much of the 1970s. A Period of Transition leans toward streetgritty rhythm and blues, and Morrison is backed up by New Orleans Gumbo Rocker Mac ("Dr. John") Rebennack, who is the album's keyboard player and coproducer. Somewhat weakened by repetitiveness (one bit of business is repeated 38 times), the record has little meat but plenty of motion...
