It
is one of the most difficult tasks of the year to predict who will
be big in 1975 with a fickle market like the charts. But Record
and Popswop Mirror, always willing to take up the challenge, are
having a go. But we're no fools, we're playing it safe by rounding
up most of the top hopers from most of the record companies.
So here we go starting off, without bias, with RCA who have two
names they hope will become household words. One is Grame Grace
who came very close with his last single "What Did You Do With
My Sweetheart" and has an album due out soon.
Their other hope is Fumble, a five man band who are building
up the sort of fans around the country that RCA hope will
turn into tangible record sales.
