Random House Books, New York, N.Y. $5.95. Author Roald Dahl is most famous for his children's books, such as "Charlie and the' Chocolate Factory"-well-written fantasies that have gained a solid reputation as good reading for kids. In his collection of short stories, Switch Bitch, Dahl presents the reader with a set of adult fantasies. One can easily imagine that, writing those stories, Dahl kept his balance as a writer. His stories, filled with stylish, mild, erotic madness, are as attractive to mature readers as his chocolate factory work is to children. It would be spoiling the fun to reveal the plots of the four stories in this collection. Yes, they are about sex, but they are also about people, -frustrations and times past and present. One concerns a cologne (which bears the name of the second word in the book title) that has the ridiculous effect of making an animal out of any man who approaches a woman who wears the cologne. What happens to this invention along the way provides delightful reading. It's refreshing to read a book that teases both vince boucher footnotes the intellect and the more elemental senses, yet doesn't leave one feeling that the book is junky. Dahl is funny and observant, and gives enough detail to make his stories believable. Yet he writes in a simple manner, letting the far-fetched fantasies provide the sparks of his stories. 'Earth Below' buried Hendrix Review by Steve Cogley Robin Trower has another album out, For Earth Below. Trower, former lead guitarist of Procol Harum, could be called Jimi Hendrix Jr. To say Trower's style is only influenced by Hendrix is wrong; it's dominated by Jimi. The first time I heard Trower's second album, Bridge Of Sighs, I thought some more good Hendrix material was upon us. The technique was ther , the style, everything right down to how th bassist plunked and the drummer drummed. The only obvious difference were the vocals. However, I do wish Trower would expand on some of Hendrix' talents and techniques, rather than just copying them. For Earth Below is good material, but typically so. Trower gets in his licks, singer James Dewar handles the vocals and bass well and Billy Lordan keeps things going on the drums. The album has four fine cuts; the rest are only above average. "Shame The Devil" starts things off nicely and, while no song really jumps out, "Alethea" comes closest. "Gonna Be More Suspicious" and the title cut include some fine Trower guitar. There are four good reasons to buy this album. If you like guitar, this is your album. If you don't have a Trower album this would be a good start. If you're a Hendrix fan this is, of course, the closest thing to Jimi that we have. And finally, the album, is, quite simply, musically sound and well-produced.
