According to Marshall Chess, the name of the Rolling Stones new label is Clowns. He added “I wanted to call it ‘juke’ but they wouldn’t let me.” Which shows ya where they’re at.
Mickie Most (who has produced everyone from the Yardbirds to Donovan) has formed RAK records, whose first trash hit is CCS’s orchestral version of ‘‘Whole Lotta Love”. More significantly, RAK is reported to be singing Cradle, the all-woman Motor City band who have written the second feminine rock opera (see elsewhere in this section for news of Carla Bley’s). Cradle are largely composed of the sisters of Mr. Michael Quatro, whom some of you may remember for something.
Rod Stewart and Elton John are producing one side each of an album by legendary British rock figure Long John Baldry. John had once played back-up to Baldry in Bluesology, a crew which toured the English club circuit several years ago. Stewart started his career with Baldry in Steampacket in the mid-60s.
