...look of his face, his soft voice and loud fits of coughing: the image of his tall, slim figure; the elegant gestures of his gentle hands: the shadows and the brilliance of his large, changeable eyes, whose light gave emphasis to his words: something that was imperishable and unique, and that was therefore unrepeatable and eternal, in his personality...in his outer and his inner self...
...Bonnie" is Ulrike Meinhof, 37, a slim, tough-faced divorcee who was once the editor of the leftist monthly magazine Konkret. "Clyde" is Andreas Baader, 28, a personable art-school dropout, Lothario of sorts, and sometime student revolutionary. Accompanied by a fluctuating number of associates (as many as 23 at times), the Baader-Meinhof gang during the past two years has pulled a string of bank robberies and car thefts, and has had shootouts with police in half a dozen cities. The toll so far: one policeman killed and another seriously injured, two gang members killed...
...account was opened last April at the Swiss Credit Bank in the name of "H.R. Hughes" by a slim, attractive blonde woman, 42 years old, 5½ ft. tall, weighing 100 lbs., who spoke English and very bad German.

The performance of everyone, especially producer Philippe Rault, is absolutely flawless; the juxtaposition of early Forties blues structure with ultramodern instrumentation and arrangement completely transcends the concept of mere revival. It is a tour de force of textural and harmonic complexity within the blues idiom. On side...
...King, too, had his B.B. King in London album (ABCX 730). He is heard with Jim Keltner, Bobby Keyes, Ringo Starr, and Mac "Dr. John" Rebennack, among others. While perhaps not as interesting--musically or sociologically--as the Memphis Slim and Howling Wolf records, it is nevertheless superb B.B. King music, with a delightful rhythmic variety...
