...Groove. By contrast, Columbia's record rival RCA made an early decision to hold out for a disk that was completely "discrete"-the industry's word for precise separation of all four channels. Like Columbia, RCA aimed for a compatible new disk that would be playable on existing stereo equipment without loss of fidelity. Last week RCA was busy spreading the word to the industry and press alike that it had perfected just such a disk. The company will begin issuing the new LPs in May, at the same price ($5.98) as stereo, and soon hopes to release...
...recording of a 1971 off -Broadway show based on the legend that Joan's life was spared by substituting another girl at the stake. Though hardly an orthodox look at Joan (among other things, she has a love affair with a farmer), Survival comes across well enough on disk, largely because the group Smokerise manages to operate within the rock mainstream (Beatles to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) and still have something original...

When somebody proposed a toast to Elmo...
Calm Strength. Which still leaves the perhaps irrelevant question: Can he act? Now Eastwood has neatly sidestepped the question by becoming a director. His first effort is the recent Play Misty for Me, in which he also stars as a disk jockey who gets involved with a psychopathic listener (played by Jessica Walter). His direction is better than might have been expected, and shows a solid gift for scenes of violence and tension (TIME...
