...managed to get favorable treatment from the courts and the local press thus far, but this may have to change some in the coming weeks. Students and organizers around the state have started to wake up to the many problems which CCU has found in LP&L's plans and they are initiating efforts to counter KP&L's massive publicity campaigns...
...Maazel, conductor; London; 3 LPs; $17.94. London Symphony Orchestra, Andre Previn, conductor; Angel; 3 LPs; $17.98). A typical instance of how the classical record industry can drive its customers berserk and eat up its own profits. The complete version of this score has been almost totally neglected since the LP's birth 25 years ago; now come two competing versions. Ah, free enterprise! Both sets manage to confirm that this is the finest evening-length ballet score since Tchaikovsky. Neither, as it happens, quite equals the poetry and passion of Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony in their...
Puccini: La Bohème (Mirella Freni, Luciano Pavarotti, Berlin Philharmonic, Herbert von Karajan, conductor; London; 2 LPs; $11.96). The LP era has had three recordings of Bohème good enough to be called great.

A twist of the dial and perched on a ledge overlooking Tuscan bell towers is Louis Prima delivering a husky-voiced hustle for a two-LP anthology of pop songs titled Love Italian Style. And isn't that-yes! It's Chubby Checker, coyly reminding viewers that he "used to do a little thing called...
...songs are dusty, and in many cases so are the singers: Who remembers Frankie Fanelli's Mala Femmana? With discount record outlets in most major cities, peddling warmed-over LP collections on TV would seem like a short cut to bankruptcy. Yet in two months Fiedler's two-minute pitch has sold over $1,000,000 worth of records. The Greatest Hits of Rock 'n' Roll has racked up $4,000,000 in sales, and Love Italian Style is nearing the $1,500,000 mark...
