    Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm monaural vinyl LP, M-G-M E4273, near-mint vinyl in a very-good-plus jacket with a cut-out hole punched to bottom left corner. "Hm; how to get in on this 'rock 'n roll' fad without basing a whole production around some flighty one-hit-wonders who could easily vanish from the charts by the time we slide into theaters? I know! We throw together a 'musical revue,' hung around a co-ed at a conservative college who gets in trouble when the dean finds out she's been, um . . . writing rock 'n roll tunes! Yeah, that's the ticket!" (Paging Riff Randell?) "Hire half-a-dozen bands that'll work cheap; they can't ALL go bust by next summer! And for the leading role, cast some chick who's cute but, you now, all-American." If 1959 Miss America Mary Ann Mobley's "debut as a singing star" delivering the title tune here led to a dazzling career as a rock chanteuse we must have missed it, though she did show up the following year as "Princess Shalimar" in Elvis Presley's "Harum Scarum," and went on to have a successful 40-year television career as April Dancer on "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.," Crystal Walker on "Mission: Impossible," Audrey Parson on "The Partridge Family," and Maggie McKinney Drummond on "Diff'rent Strokes," not to mention multiple appearances on Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Falcon Crest -- all the cultural high points. Otherwise, though -- allowing for the fact that an A-list act like the Beach Boys or the Supremes would have seriously blown the budget -- MGM pulled out all the stops on this one. Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto covering "The Girl from Ipanema"? The Dave Clark Five were a de rigeur hat-tip to the British invasion, of course, and we probably could have lived without ever hearing the Standells' version of "Do The Swim." But Eric Burdon & The Animals ("Blue Feeling," as well as "Around and Around") and The Jimmy Smith Trio were the real thing. (Freddie Bell and the Bell Boys? We'll get back to you.) Why, even Chad Everett and Nancy Sinatra show up! And you'll have to award extra points to producer Sam Katzman and director Sid Miller when you realize neither Mr. Everett nor said Sinatra daughter were allowed to actually sing! It was a moment in time. It was 1964. LP now reduced from $15.
