As manager of BCA's pop division, he's just finished a tremendous he had much tp do with Perry Como's comeback, Eddie Fisher's surge, Eartha Kitt's getaway and the Ames Brothers' hits. Right now, he seems to have the golden touch. r.1 So hii thoughts on the record carry weight. Here are a lew assorted Carlton thoughts, garnered across the luncheon table: "There's faster turnover In record stars today.

That's because of the discovery complex every disc jockey thinks he's Christopher Columbus. He wants to claim he's discovered a new star. So he plugs newscomers' records much more than the records of established stars. "We get maybe 600 applications a week from would-be singers. I look for three things in every distinctive sound, good experience and managing, and appearance, which is a must because record stars have to appear on TV these days.

"For some reason, hit records last longer today than a few years ago. Look at 'You, You, You, and 'Vaya Con They were up on top for months. It's harder for a record to get to the top now, and It's also harder for it to be dislodged once it's there. "There won't be any great reduction in the price of records. It costs less for a manufacturer to make a record now it's down to about six the other costs keep going up.

Artists' fees, union fees, the actual cost of a. recording keep going up." 'ft That's Carlton, briefly. As for Carlton himself, he's a big, vibrant, fast-talking man, who loves and lives his job. His own description of his work: "It's fracturous, but delightful." THE POPULAR SIDE: Frank O. Murray, a Metropolitan Opera chorus tenor, has recorded eight of his own compositions on an album he made himself.

It's called "Sweet Love Songs." and the songs are light and pleasant. Mel Allen will record a "Sports Memory Album" with descriptions of top World Series thrills. RCA's "Show Biz" album, a re-creation of the Abel Green-Joe Laurie, book, has some fine moments, but is just too crammed with George Jessel. Laurie would have been a better selection for narrator.

POP ALBUMS: Three great ones from of Eartha Kitt's delightful naughtiness on "That Bad Eartha" and more of Eddie Fisher's great tenor on "May I Sing to You" and the first album from the Ames Brothers.
