Picks Of The Week
THE COWSILLS (MGM 14011)
The Candy Kid (3:09) [Pocket Full of Tunes, BMI-Romeo]
Tiny -teen sound with a bit of the seasonal flavor of winter on the new
Cowsills' side. Fine familiar vocal performance from the family is used
with dance beat backdrops and a cute brass instrumental bridge to
spearhead sales for "The Candy Kid." Top forty exposure is in store
and a bright sales showing should ensue. Flip: "The Impossible Years"
(2:35) [Hastings, BMI-Medress, P & M Margo, Siegel] Movie theme
which could arouse added interest.

Album Reviews
THE BEST OF THE COWSILLS-MGM SE 4597
Four of the twelve tunes on this set were
chart riders for the Cowsills, a marketing
point that bodes well for the album. The
chart singles are: "The Rain, The Park And
Other Things," "We Can Fly," "Indian
Lake," and "Poor Baby." Also featured on
the LP is the title song from the Cowsills'
recent chart album, "Captain Sad And His
Ship Of Fools." This "Best Of" disk shapes
up as another winning entry for the Cowsill clan.
