...Ry Cooder: Bop Till You Drop (Warner Bros.). His musical excursions have carried him from Hawaii to the Tex-Mex border, but this time out Cooder stays closer to the mainstream, floating lightly through the fast, cool and sometimes stormy currents of rhythm and blues. The album's nine songs include one co-written by Cooder and eight other tunes, which, if not classics already, will surely...

...staged chases. There is evidence- a dinner Dracula gives Lucy that is lit by thousands of candles, for example-that he is capable of much stronger mood and atmosphere. But it is as if someone decreed that this was to be a Dracula for adults, forgetting that the sto ry has always been for adults regressing to adolescence, with its hopeless loves and wild fantasies. There is no point in retelling this tale if you are going to be stuffy about it- Richard

Warner Bros. Records, Inc., will bring out its first digital record next month, Ry Cooder's lively excursion into rhythm and blues, Bop Till You Drop.

Parties with a particularly strong European commitment got out the vote and did better as a consequence. One notable victor was French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, who in fact first proposed the idea for a Euro-election back in 1974. In the popular vote Giscard's Union pour la Démocratic Française outpolled Gaullist Leader Chirac's Rassemblement pour la République, by 27.5% to 16.3%. In parliamentary elections only 15 months ago, the Chirac forces had won 22.6% to the Giscardians' 21.5%. Chirac's poor showing...
