TV8 jfnhrpcnhrnt-Jlmtnntl, Saturday, May 3, 1969 STEREO HI-FI hit ('. I lidio I Hlliuccr CHOOS NG COMPO NENTS FOR THE HOME A component stereo music system for the home invariably will become a source of great pleasure for the entire family. The thrilling experience of clear life like sound is always available at the flick of a switch. Choosing the items for the music system need not be compli cated. In fact, it can be an entertaining experience.

How! Visit a well established and reliable Stereo Hi-Fi store and let an experienced Audio Spe cialist guide you through a thrilling experience in stereo sound. Then let him demonstrate the sound of several quality speaker systems. A well established Hi Fi store will have many of the top brand speakers on a switching panel for instant comparison. After you have heard the sound of the various speakers, observed their sizes and decor, and compared their prices it is simply cj matter of choosing a system that suits your taste and budget. The Audio Specialist will point out and explain the i lifier receivers that will combine properly with the speakers of your choice.

He will demonstrate the proper receiver together with the speakers. Lastly, he will show you various record changers and recommend a changer and magnetic cartridge to compliment your system. It is obvious, that for optimum value for the budget, the prospective buyer depends not only on his ears, but on the salesman. A purchaser of stereo hi-fi components cannot afford to be guided by anyone except a person that has had many years of experience in the component field, a person that is familiar with the many products available, a person that can give you individual attention. An advertised package group may seem like a saving; however, it might not be the best system for your family.

The particular speaker size might not be what you would like. You may prefer a more elaborate record changer or even a tape deck instead of a changer. At Catania Sound you will be able to hear many stereo combinations of speakers and make instant comparisons. You will see and hear the best values available in solid state amplifiers. You will see and hear tape recorders, tape decks, and record players.

On The Stereo Scene By JOHN SUMER Reprise 6336: English rock group; hard into the blues, of course; only four in number but versatile on instruments. Ian overblown flute makes the group remind one of Jeremy Steig's jazz-flavored combo with flute.

The longest track is a tune Kv sometime-flutist Roland Kirx. but quite different in delivery from original. The list of instruments played by group members is becoming wilder all the time; this one includes hooter and charm bracelet. BEST OF BOOKER T. THE Atlantic SI) 8202: This instrumental group is probably the best known in the blues and rock fields.

They call their particular style the It is a simple but rocking presentation, with leader Booker T. usually soloing on piano or organ. Among their tuneful hits herein are and FROM Phil Ochs Records 4148: Ochs lias developed into one of the most sincere and tasteful creators and performers of so- called in pop music. These eight tracks are all on a very high level, from the union-organizing ballad to the up-to-date from Although Ochs doesn't possess the greatest voice, he has an earnest quality that compels one to listen to him; much as with Bob Dylan. The instrumental backing and production effects are superbly handled and not allowed to overwhelm basically straightforward folk- sing style used by Ochs.
