Stogel Charts Jet Tours Of Acts

NEW YORK—Plans for a major international concert tour, slated for early 1969, were disclosed this week by personal manager Lenny Stogel. Using a chartered jet plane, Stogel plans to send several of his acts on a whirlwind tour of one-night engagements of major European and Asian cities, definitely including London, Paris, West Berlin, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

“We are very anxious to get international exposure for our acts,” Stogel explained, “but it’s a complex matter to arrange individual tours. A large package show of this type would not only give us entrance to the major showcase spots, but it would also have the added excitement of so many ‘names’ making their foreign debuts at one time.

Although the initial expense of such a package will be tremendous,” Stogel added, “I feel the resulting exposure for our artists can only be economically beneficial in the long run. I firmly believe this could start a whole new concept in pop promotion.”

The Cowsills, Tommy James & The Shondells, Sam The Sham, Jim & Jean & The Royal Guardsmen are among the acts in the Stogel stable.

Australia

The Cowsills, who haven’t done much here since “The Rain, The Park and Other Things,” are heading for the top here with their newie “Indian Lake” which is on the receiving end of loads of radio spins. All this is a source of great delight to Paul Turner, head of Phonogram Recordings here who handle the MGM catalog.
