A GUTTER!*
SPECTACLE
I he sound and intensity of Joan Armatrading’ s music is hard won, the
result ol careful preparation and some heavy duty experience on the solitary
side ol lite. On her newest A&M A l BUM, ,V/e, M yself I, she sings about the
adventures she wants to have, “ sailing the oceans before the seas run dry,”
but she has room only one - “ me, myself...I. "
Born on the island ol St. Kitts on the West Indies, Joan Armatrading
moved with her family to Birmingham, England, at the age o f seven. In an
atmosphere that allowed neither smoking, drinking nor swearing (her mother
still attends church daily) her guitar was a lorbidden instrument and her
lather hid it from her above a closet well out ot her reach, and locked the
door to the room where it was kept.
Outside the fam ily, when she could be on her own, Joan had fewer
problems, though whites, Blacks and Orientals lived in separate enclaves in
Birmingham, Joan never noticed, as she went ahead with her interest in
music. She appeared in the London company o f H air and was the only cast
member who steadfastly rclused to disrobe on stage.
Io date, Joan Armatrading has sold six million records world-wide, and
despite a growing popularity in the United States, she will not yet yield to the
kind of public exposure necessary to insure a pop singer’ s success. She lives
quietly and privately, in the country outside London, where she collects an
tique cars, clocks and comic books.
She is, in the words of one critic, “ a commanding singer with something to
say, and has been called by the New York Times ‘ ‘ perhaps the best
unknown pop star in the business.”

EARTH, WIND Et FIRE
ARC/Colum bia recording group Earth, Wind & Fire have concluded a one
I month-long retreat in Montserrat, “ the Emerald Isle o f the Caribbean, “
where they worked in solitude on their tenth album for the label.
FACES, due tor release later this summer, reflects the serene environment
| ot Montserrat, the lush, hilly, tropical West Indian island, rich in mineral
springs and 17th century heritage.
A mysterious island of volcanic orgin (Galway Sougriere is still an active
crater), Montserrat was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493, named
for the monastery in the mountains o f Spain. The 33 square-mile island
provided the perfect inspiration for the musicians in Earth, Wind A Fire, as
well as their producer and leader, Maurice White.
Further news and details on the music o f FACES and the future touring
plans ot Earth, Wind A Fire will be announced in the weeks ahead.
