(Shelley McPhee photo) Record Review Two new bands show individual styles By Janet Tench This week two relatively new bands are featured: Night Ranger with Midnight Madness 11 do not believe this to be their first LP) and Paul Young with No Parley Young being English, this could be a com- pilation of British releases I. These two bands were extremely difficult to, analyze because little information on them was available, but as with' every artist group the album always reveals character. Night Ranger is a popular band locally. Their music pulsates yet has lyrical quali- ty. Take the song Sister Christianson: it rates as a love ballad at roller skating. l Not to mention When You Close Your Eyes plac- ed number 31 on Billboard this week I. While Midnight Madness was released in 1983, it is one of those slow starters that is, peaking now. Musically, Night Ranger likens well to Styx -an all American band with good in strumentation. Obvious at times is the in- fluence of Kiss. This seems natural because there is a "special thanks" to Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons. However, there is one trait that keeps this albums from being first class: normality. Most of the song writing here is credited to Jack Blades. He has the basic verse -chorus verse chorus pattern down pat, but he doesn't deviate from it. This makes the songs dull. You don't find Slade doing that. Naturally there are the nice touches, such as Freres Jacques preluding a Tough .of Madness, but everybody has sornethirig' similar to that these days ( Saga, Platinum Blonde, Slade, Aldo Nova etc.) In all, Night Hanger does everything ''right" - they even include lyric sheets with the album - which makes thein okay. but they'll need a special trait to take them to the top. Rating: 7 out of 10. It's a different story, though. with Paul Yonne. who brought vnu the hit ('nme Back and Stay. Young is much like Joe Jackson; his style is laid back, pleasant to the ears and experimental. His vocals, again like Jackson, are stark, adding a fresh in- nocence to the sound. Still in line with the innocent sound are the lyrics. Generally they deal with broken love affairs. The are so rich with pain that they *pull a string in your heart. Like all good artists, Young uses a variety of instruments and sounds. In Wherever I Lay My Hat there is tasteful use of the piano and the "stick". Ku Ku Kurama has a fun African flavour. The only track deserving criticism is the title song, No Parlez. Here the words fall out of synch with the beat. Words get drowned out by other words. While you can be sure this is intentional it doesn't vibe with the rest of the LP. It sounds like somebody fell asleep at the sound board: Another asset for Paul Young is his fashionable appearance. His hair ( that's all that46lunts these days, you knovy.) is 'styled in a way that will thrill young Duranies. But be it his looks or his music that intrigues give Paul Young a try. Rating: 9.

Ron's Shell defeated Nile 10-7 in a game played August 27. Marilyn McCuspey, Cor- rine Walsh, Lynn Rumig and Sharon Sower - by all scored twice for Shell, with five Shell runs coming in the bottom of the third inn- ing. Nile came on in the top of the seventh with a four -run rally, but it was too little, too late. Also on August 27, the Go-4-ettes topped Bedford 6-2. The Go-4-ettes had hot bats in 'this game, with Jeanette Pearson banging the big tap of the night, a double in the first inning. Barb Ottewell came up with a pair of singles and Jean Cruickshank, Pat Costello, Pat Allen, Pat Francis and Wendy Denomme, each had one base hits. Lori Kennedy, Diane Maize and Shelly Barlow each had two singles for Bedford. In- - dividual singles were hit by Carmen Savoie, Joanne Crawford and Val Willis. The following night, August 28, the Go-4- ettes suffered .a 7-2 loss to Mac's. Betsy Rivera was the big gun for Mac's, walloping two homer's, scoring two runs in the second inning and a three -run shot in the sixth. Rivera also hit a single in the game. Janet Godfrey and Kathy Doherty each had two singles for Mac's and Wanda Hodges and Michele Park each hit one. Pat Allen and Sue McKay each hit a pair of singles for the Go-4-ettes. Cheryl Doak, Sue Young and Barb O'Brien each hit one. Bedford overcame a distinct disadvan- tage on August 30, beating All Ages 9-2, despite being one player short of a full team. Bedford was penalized an automatic out whenever it reached the 10th position in the batting order. Shelly Barlow scored three times for Bed- ford, as the Bedford squad came on strong in the fifth inning, with a six -run explosion. Shirley Erb and Judy Parks were the only All Ages batters to cross home plate. The deadline for sports copy is Monday at 5 p.m Sarah, the Cabbage Patch doll, has been returned to her owner, tour -year-old Cara Donnel- ly: Sarah went missing from the Donnellys' front porch at 93 East Street several weeks ago. After a few notices were put in this newspaper, Sarah was returned safe and sound. ( Photo by Joanne Buchanan) ,
