Not too many weeks ago Barry McGuire meant nothing to most people. To a thoroughly informed few he represented one gruff-voiced ninth of The New Christy By the end of next week I expect he'll be topping our charts Will his Eve Of Destruction." The success of this song brings us yet another new name P.

F. Sloan. Mr. Sloan is the talented young Californian who penned "Eve Of Destruction." Already a fall' number of British artists have been listening very carefully to Barry McGuire's American LP in the hope of spotting another P. F.

Sloan composition with which a Top Ten hit might be scored. I calculate that at least six October singles will carry material selected from. Sloan's somewhat limited songbook. The first of these appears next Friday on the Parlophone label and features MEADS. a Manchester group recorded by George Martin.

The song is called "The Sins Of A Family." The lyrics tell a sordid story soaked in sadness. But then. they decide, the sins of a family fall on the daughter and. for rhyming and other reasons, blood is thicker than water. The general structure of the piece is interesting if complicated and there is compensation for its uncommercial complexity in the short catchy chorus.

At this particular time I think "The Sins Of A Family" could hit the jackpot but I'm not convinced that Meads from Manchester will have a clear climb through the charts. They face opposition from composer P. F. Sloan who has made his own recording of the number on RCA Victor. It's doing very well in the American charts and stands a chance of cornering the market in the Sloan's voice has bits of Dylan and Donovan about it but it creates a style of its own as well.

He sings in a high pitch and has a banging beat, persistent guitars and a wailing harmonica behind him. hails Meads are managed by Mike Maxfield, 21-years- Leslie Writes Thrillers Too work." says actor-enter Leslie Sands mode has become my greatest interest.

The boys lay on hefty layers of percussion plus a striking organ sound which dominates the accompaniment. The most infectious and refreshing new number of the week has to be Tony Hatch's bright composition Round Every Corner" recorded on the top deck of a Pye single by PETULA CLARK. All around we are inundated with protest lyrics appealing for less bloodshed and more sexual satisfaction. Hatch ignores such v. eighty matters and concentrates upon gay trivialities.

The arrangement opens with umpteen girls repeating the title phrase before Pet comes into start her happy-golucky performance. Whoever balanced the sound on this session did a great job. Despite the ringing, resounding repetition from the powerful girlie group Pet's voice soars out quite clearly and we get to hear everything she sings. Prolific producer Mickie Most has cored a number of king-sited successes in the past 12 months.

Maybe America's LOVIN' SPOONFUL, the combo responsible for the original version of "Do You Believe In Magic will duplicate their homeground success on our side of the Atlantic. This oddly named outfit generates plenty of excitement and overcomes the problem of having a background that's crowded with sound by increasing the strength and prominence of the vocal. The reliable ROGER MILLER (Philips) pens and performs some hilariously off-brat stuff.

His latest single. out next weekend. is another novelty number carried along think people are themselves. Anyway. it' cheap to trade on your TV reputation.

I was surprised to see that all these plugs couldn't build them a hit for the number was catchy in an appealingly energetic way. If the Dick and Deedee version didn't click I see no reason why the inferior recording by HMV songstress GLENDA COLLINS should no do I'm sorry for Glenda. She possesses a fair amo of talent but it I wasted here in the midst of studio distortion and an accompaniment which is nothing short of shambolic On Philips THE FOUR PENNIES tackle Buff Sainte-Marie composition which she recorded without success a few months ago. It's the delicately fashioned love ballad "Until It's Time For You To Go." The new treatment lacks the original's astounding simplicity but it is still a very worthwhile performance which shows off the vocal capabilities of The Four Pennies to advantage.

SPORT 00" 1 51 4 40... 9, 3 fit QUICK SPINS THE SWINGING BLUE JEANS (HMV) set uP an ultra-fast Latin tinted rhythm behind their wild vocal on "Crazy 'bout IPI Baby." This is a wellconceived production with terrific vocal work but I don't see it as a major hit. DOUG KENNEDY (Colwnhis) has girl friend called "Julie" who waves and shouts to him posthumously from a window in the sky.

So he tells us in a deep rich voice. No we shouldn't chuckle for the poor man really means it ARTHUR PRYSOCK (CRS) has a romantic voice which just doesn't fit with that name of his. The Prysock recording of a ballad entitled "It's Too Late Lesley Gore Baby. Too Late" is most impressive. I tip it as the week's outsider with a chance of surprise success.

JODY MILLER (Capitol) pours dramatic emotion into an ugly mound of rubbish called "Home Of The Brave." It's about a mother who has a son with very long hair. Even as the whole absurd recording fades away she's pleading Wet gotta understand him!" This performer deserves much better material. LESLEY GORE (Mercury) has at least three of her 3Wn voices bounding about very cheerfully on a simple little ditty called "My Town. My Guy And Me." AHE FACTOTAMS (Immediate) seem to be the latest figment of Andrew Oldham's fertile imagination. Hear them chanting between and behind a barrage of rhythmic rumbles and a wild onslaught of guitars on the way-out Carter- Lewis composition "In My Lonely Room." lull marks for originality but I doubt the chart potential of this amazing Production.

£5O worth groceries NEXT THURSDAY. Cinerama present a. uproarious comedy at the Abbey Cinerama Theatre Wavertree, Called "THE HALLELUJAH TRAIL" the plot denved from a little known historical incident of toil years when he-men were blazing a trail to the West. In what was then a little shanty town called Denver, with winter fast approaching. they suddenl realised that supplies.

especially of whisky. were running out. A wagon tan was hastily despatched to the nearest depot with orders to bring back all that the wagons could hold without the axles breaking. The news leaked out and the Band of Hope temperance ladies set out to head off the convoy. pledged to destroy every drop of the hard stuff.

Along the trail a band of thirsty and hungry Red Indians were also waiting to hi-jack the wagons. A cavalry troop was sent out irom the fort to protect the women, another to defend the convoy and the citizens of Denver also set out to protect their supplies. In no time at all, confusion reigned. To top all, the Irish teamsters thought it high time they took a hand in the proceedings. To come nearer home, have you ever had an amusing or funny experience when getting your weekend supplies In!
