Great Britain - The Past Twelve Months

M.G.M.
On July 1st 1967 EMI relinquished all rights to MGM, Verve and Verve Forecast labels with the exception of a year’s grace to sell off old stock but retained the pressing and distribution of MGM and Verve product. Thus MGM went independent in the British market. Their first release “Good Times” by Eric Burdon made the British Top 20 and his follow-up “San Franciscan Nights” went to No. 7. Deejay Tony Blackburn’s first disk “So Much Love” made the Top 30 and Jimmy Young’s “Silver and Blue” and The Sun Dragon’s version of “Green Tambourine” were both strong chart contenders. On the album front MGM’s soundtrack L.P. of “Dr. Zhivago” has been in the Top 20 for the past 52 weeks. American group The Mothers of Invention visited the U.K. in October and stimulated good album sales. Jazz artists Stan Getz, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Ella Fitzgerald have all proved good sellers throughout the year. By agreement with MGM and Music for Pleasure all product on the Metro and Leo the Lion labels have been leased to Music for Pleasure. As well as promoting local talents MGM have brought over from the States Mothers of Invention, The Cowsills, Astrud Gilberto, Stan Getz and Erroll Garner to promote their American product in the U.K. MGM looks forward to an increased share of the U.K. market in the years to come.

At present, rapidly increasing popularity of The Bee Gees due to “Massachusetts” (Polydor-Grammophon) is most remarkable. On Nippon Grammophon The Cowsills is right behind with “The Rain, The Park and Other Things.”
