Basically, it utilized an ultra-familiar format, practically the same one used season before last by Patti Page's ill-fated "The Big Record," which was itself an all-star "Hit Parade." However, "The Record Years" presented its glittering array of performers, selected apparently because they represented signi ficant facets of a decade of disks (the theme was never too clearly stated), in imaginative settings and with superior audio.

Johnny Mathis, the McGuire By Jerry Granahan on Gone 5065 Here are two good sides with sales potential. "Rumors" is a slow and tender ballad about true love in spite of gossip. The flip side is bright and bouiicey with some ear catching lyrics. MALE VOCAL ALBUM CHOICE i.

Incidentally kudos to Lon Norman for some fine big band backing on such favorites as "There'll Never Be 'i Another You," "Skylark," "All the Things You Are" and others. To hear these and other popular recordings, listen to Phil Sheridan on "Rise and Shine" on WFIL, 560 on your Js radio dial, Monday through Saturday from 6 to 10 A. M.

And the Fabulous Fabian again demonstrated, every time he opened his mouth, why his show business success is not only fabulous but fantastic. LARK himself got into several V- of the acts (he sang and "danced" with the McGuires, for instance) and if he plans to keep it up, perhaps he should bill him self as the Remarkable Richard.

As long as he confines himself to projecting sincerity and "nice- ness," Dick does fine. But when he's donning funny hats, spouting beatnik talk or otherwise being coy, he rates somewhere below Ed Sullivan. Dick's little sermon would have been much more effective if "The Record Years" hadn't been constantly punctuated by the rock roll anthem: loud and loony screaming from female-type youngsters in the studio audience. TO CELEBRATE the beginning of the his fifth TV season with the same sponsor, Lawrence Welk served up a magnum of "champagne music" Saturday night. There was more of every thing.

More musicians. More singers. (In fact, so many people i crowded the stage that Welk I wasn't sure of the census, "105 or 1 When the orchestra offered "Two Guitars," it was with the backing of "our enlarged string section," so that it sounded like "Thirty-two Guitars."

Lawrence Seaway last week, little TV attention was paid to the fact that a lot of people are far from happy about the project. NBC corrected the oversight Friday night in an hour-long documentary, "The Fourth Coast," which carefully marshaled some of the objections: bottlenecks, inadequate facilities, "unfair" competition to other routes and conveyances. "A $1,000,000 boondoggle," one critic called it. The pro and con arguments were preceded by a lock-by-lock journey along the Seaway aboard a British freighter, the Pinemore. It seemed a long, long trip.
