Avalon Commissioner's Meetings to Alternate By J.P. Cunningham At the January 10th meeting of the Avalon Commissioners, it was voted to alternate the meetings between mornings and evenings. The next regular meeting of the Board of Commissioners will be held on Wed., Jan. 24th at 8:00. Thereafter, the meetings held on the second Wednesday of each month will be at 10:00 A.M.,

and the meetings on the fourth Wednesday will be held at 8:00 P.M. In other business, a number of letters were read from residents and businessmen of 21st St. between Ocean Drive and Dune Drive, protesting the inclusion of a proposed Mall which would clost off that section of 21st St. to traffic in the Master Plan recently adopted by the Borough.

The Commissioners were queried about the Townsend's Inlet section of Ocean Drive whose condition has concerned many members of the public. Mayor Ellsworth Armacost commented that the money is available, bids have been given out, and the only thing holding them up is the Atlantic Electric Company, which must move its poles from the east to the west side of Ocean Drive. The commissioners were also asked about the new Town House Ordinance, which will set the definition of townhouses and the locations where they will be permitted to be built.

HARBOR CHAMBER MEETING DATE CHANGED The January dinner meeting of the Chamber of Commerce has been moved back a week and will be held on Monday, Jan. 22nd. These monthly dinner meetings, held in Henny’s Restaurant, are usually scheduled for the third Monday of the month but due to other events planned for that night the Board decided to change the

date.

He will review the accomplishments and progress during the past year and discuss the problems and solutions that lie ahead for ’79. All members are urged to make reservations with membership chairman Mrs. R.J. “Pat” Fitzpatrick as soon as possible.

Sounds By Charles P. Lamey The hard driving, yet always derivative, Aerosmith have just released the customary live greatest hits collection, and, while in most instances, this usually means a humdrum, we’ve heard it all before affair, Aerosmith pulls it off without too much difficulty. “Live Bootleg” (Columbia) contains their best known material, from “Dream On" to "Come Together,” but, unlike the clean studio sound, the songs here take on a raw, unnerving edge. Hence, even the slow, haunting "Dream On” sounds like a wild raver. True, much of “Live Bootleg" is poorly mixed, with Steve Tyler’s vocals being, at times, buried beneath the overpowering rhythm section, but the energy level is so high, it's impossible to fault Aerosmith for these few lapses

into dreariness.

How many readers remember The Zombies in the mid-sixties, they were part of the British invasion and with hits such as "She’s Not There," “Tell Her No,” and "Time and The Season,” they carved a permanent niche in rock and roll history for themselves. Since their unfortunate demise, the Zombies' lead singer, Colin Blunstone, has struggled with a solo career. He’s released a healthy string of albums, but no hits. “Never Even Thought” (Rocket/RCA) is his latest and, again, it’s his soothing voice and dense arrangements which make his recordings a treat. A performer with this much passion and talent should be on the charts, so give him a listen. Colin Blunstone deserves

some respect.

Much of The Low Numbers’ "Twist Again with The Low Numbers" (Rhino, 11609 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, Ca. 90064) suffers from thin production, but ignoring this obvious flaw, one is able to hear

a very promising first album. Harold Bronson is a gifted songwriter, as he writes humorous lyrics and melodies which make the most of his limited vocal range. The band rocks hard, as their covers of The Jam’s “In The City" and Graham Parker's “Hotel Chambermaid" are nearly as enjoyable as the original versions. The real highlights, though, stem from their teenage heartbreak originals, like “All The Wrong Girls Like Me” and “1977 Sunset Strip.” A lot of laughs on this record, and some good music, too. Even more laughs on Lou Reed’s new double live album, “Live, Take No Prisoners" (Arista), only it's Lou laughing at himself, as well as his audience. Much of the time, Mr. Reed spends trying to sound like a stand-up comedian, and, believe it or not, he’s usually quite funny. But, Lou Reed happens to be one of the most important songwriters to emerge from the late sixties, so, therefore, it’s his serious moments which are a treat. "Live, Take No Prisoners" is a well-balanced set of Lou Reed’s music and both he and his backing band are in top form. The Yankees must have been raised on sixties AM radio, as their incredible debut album sports influences of The Beatles, Stones, Byrds, Beach Boys, and Motown. Each song bristles with electric energy, and in “Take It like a Man,” "Believe," and "Boys Night Out" they have some potential classics. Jon Tiven has a warm, relaxed snarl to his voice, which the group will certainly benefit from. The Yankees can’t miss. Their album is on Big Sound Records and if stores can’t order it, write to Box 520, New York, N.Y. 10012. You won’t be let down, as it’s one of the finest releases in the past few months, this writer has heard.
