P249 CEEFAX 249 Mon 27 Oct 21:11/18 Q/12 Rock music is bad for your health Last week was a particularly bad week vis a vis getting done over at gigs. Morrissey was dragged off stage at a Smiths gig in Newport, Gwent. According to one report hj was knocked out. He was certainly stunned and was advised not to finish the concert. This did not please the audience and the police wire called. And Morrissjy is not the first. After hj was assaulted and badly hurt bz a 'fan' in London Frank Zappa took to having a bodyguard on stage.P249 CEEFAX 249 Mon 27 Oct 21:02/24 2/12 Howard Jones - One to One 18-month gaps between albums is east becoming the norm and Howard Jones' last LP Dream Into Action was released back in March '85. Since then HJ has become famous in the US, done the odd charity gig (like Live Aid) and plazjd 126 dates on a world tour. For this LP, his third, there is a new producer, Arif Mardin, and hj has given the music a slightly funkier, harsher edge. But this is not enough to mark the album as a progression from his first two.

This should not disappoint his many jams but it certainly leaves mj wanting something more. Side one You Know I Love You, The Balance of Love (Give and Take), All I Wbnt, Where are we Going?, Don't Want to Fight Anymore Side two Step Into These Shoes, Will You Still bj There?, Good Luck Bad Luck, Give mj Strength, Little Bit of SnowP249 CEEFAX 249 Mon 27 Oct 21:23/35 4/12 45s brief .... Desire - Gene Loves Jezebel A rework of a year-old track with new producer (Peter Walsh). This iu a mid paced number in the Simple Minds vein. Memorable enough to make the lower ind of the chartn Temple of the Lord - The Saints After a promising lead-in this settles down into being a little less of a rocker than it ought to bj. Recorded in Wales and mixed in Australia perhaps it just didn't travel well. Nonetheless the Saints are a good band and this single is well worth a listen.P249 CEEFAX 249 Mon 27 Oct 21:14/42 5/12 Terminal Madness No sooner have Madness retired than they release a new, and final, singlu. It's called (Waiting for) the Ghost Train and it's the 23rd Madness 45. There are train impersonations and the usual Madness charm and wit. Notable by his presence is Mike Barron who returns to play keyboards. Also the 12 inch includes Seven Year Scratch which features your finest moments of Madness mixed together in one groove. What a way to go eh?

And just to show that they are interested in the older generation there's an interview with Little Richard. I created this music hj says .... and what's more hj's not far wrong. Thirty one years after Tutti Frutti and the over-the-top one is in the UK marking the release of his new album.

Nick Smash writes it and hj tells us that 'full chested' lads Eull Force are in town to record with Samantha Fox. Sounds finds rock jeweller The Great Frog. Armand works there and says the skull ring a la Motorhead is reserved for a bass player with a lot of taste. And to save you asking, Ljmmy already has one but hj can't get his hand in his pocket with it on. (It says here!)P249 CEEFAX 249 Mon 27 Oct 21:11/12 9/12 A Dip in the Music Press (3) Sounds has an exclusive ZZ Top chat, as does MME (?) and as did the tabloids the other week. Also in MME are three pieces on politics and words from Iggy. It's a wordy piece but one part hints that Sinatra was an influence. Melody Maker has the Mission as cover story. This is a band who are compared to Led Zeppelin and the band admit we rip off left, right and centre but ultimately everything we do sounds like the Mission. Quite right too. I for one will be watching out for their forthcoming LP.P249 CEEFAX 249 Mon 27 Oct 21:12/03 10/12 * ?£+£££k?£+5 More 45s Tali of the Tongue - Pete Murphy Bela Lugosi may bj dead but Pete Murphy is still around. The A side is pleasant enough but you should listen to the B side Should the World Fall Apart. It's a reworking of the LP track and makes more of Pete's distinctive voice. DonWt Give Up - Peter Gabriel This is the one from So where he shares the vocals with Kate Bush. It couldn't "j more different from Sledgehammer. Soft, moody and for my money very good. And it sounds great on the wireless!

Where better? Family friends included Sam Cooke, Bobby Womack and Aretha Franklin and the lady hjrsjlf started singing in a choir at age 5n On this LP the material and treatment do not get the best from her obviously fine voice which only sometimes manages to blast its way through. She should be singing more blues instead of fighting with drum machjnjs. Still, there are some strong cuts here. Try I Just Want What's Min and All of m Love. CEETRAX is produced bz Andy Finnjy
