JEM Sets Up FARM TeamFor LPs On Other Labels
by Ken Terry-NEW YORKJEM Records is expanding
its import distribution system to include
records which it will be handling for othercompanies that will retain the U.S. rights to
those LPs. Called the FARM Team (FirstAlbum Release and Manufacture), JEM's
new service will be geared to albums whose
initial projected sales are between 10,000
and 50,000 copies. After this sales level has
been reached, the label that holds the contract on the LP and/or the artist who recorded it will have the option of reclaiming theirproduct and channeling it through theirnormal distribution system.
JEM, the biggest importer of rock/pop
product in the U.S., sells both imports anddomestic records on its PVC label to over
5,000 retail record outlets nationwide. This
network is supplemented by distribution
through all the major rack jobbers, andwhere appropriate, by independent
distributors.
The first two labels to take advantage of
JEM's FARM team will be Island Records'
Antilles label and Virgin Records, which
recently signed a U.S. distribution deal with
Atlantic (see separate story). The Antilles
deal has already been firmed, but, at press
time, the Virgin pact had been concluded
only in principle.
According to Ed Grossi, vice president of

CBS Inks Lorimar
In Distribution Pact-

Lorimar Productions, an independent film and television production
company, has formed a record division thathas been signed to a distribution pact by
CBS Records.
Walter Yetnikoff, president of CBS
Records Group, and Merv Adelson, chairman of the board of Lorimar Productions,announced the deal, which will include
soundtrack recordings as well as albums
by individual artists.
Lorimar, a ten -year -old company,
currently produces the network televisionseries, "The Waltons," "Eight Is Enough,"and "Dallas." The company also has
several films set for release, including"Americathon," "The Fish That Saved
Pittsburgh," "The Big Red One,""Avalanche Express," "The Hamster ofHappiness," and "Being There." Lorimar isalso producing "Carny," starring Gary
Busey, Jodie Foster and Robbie
Robertson, which is currently being shot in
NEW YORK

C4SH BOX

JEM, his company is already handling Antilles and Mango (another Island sub-sidiary) product that includes albums by
Eno, Robert Fripp, Nick Drake, Toots & the
Maytals, the Chieftains and John Cale.
The Virgin/JEM deal, said Grossi, is for
one year. It will include about 20 new
albums and 20 catalog items. JEM will distribute new Virgin releases by The Skids,
The Members, Steve Hillage, Pete Bauman
and Tangerine Dream, among others. The
catalog product will include records by
Mike Oldfield, Steve Hillage, TangerineDream and Magazine.
JEM is currently negotiating with several
other labels for FARM Team projects, according to Marty Scott, president of JEM.
One of these labels recently signed a distribution deal with a major U.S. record company.

Small Is Beautiful
JEM's FARM Team, Scott noted, isbased on the concept of efficient smallscale distribution. Local branch or indie
distributors, he pointed out, find it unprofitable to distribute LPs in quantities ofones and twos. But the FARM Team, heclaimed, can distribute small quantities ofrecords to each of its nationwide accounts
and sell thousands of records. The LP thatmight represent a nuisance to the branch orindie distributor thus represents a profit to
JEM.
In the past, Scott continued, JEM has

profitably distributed "small runs"(anywhere from 5,000 to 50,000 units) of

Atlantic Signs Virgin Label
For American Distribution
American distribution.
The British -based label previously had asuccessful association with Atlantic from1973 to 1975, which, among other things,
resulted in the multi -million selling"Tubular Bells" album by Mike Oldfield.
More recently, Virgin product has been
imported into the U.S. by Jem Records.
Jem and Virgin have concluded an agreement in principle under which Jem will handle certain new and catalog releases for
Virgin (see separate story).
Virgin's first releases under the newagreement with Atlantic will be a single
from The Records entitled "Starry Eyes,"

which will be followed by their debut album
in mid -July.
In making the announcement of the pact,
Ken Berry, president of Virgin Records in
America, said "Virgin has been involved in
U.S. distribution for a number of years.
However, the major difference with this new
agreement is that Virgin will be here in the
United States, with fully -staffed offices, offering a total commitment to Virgin artists
and their music. am confident that this new
association between Atlantic and Virgin will
create the best environment for our company to both break new acts and further
develop our already established artists. I
have a very high regard for the expertise
Atlantic has shown in the marketplace."

Pictured (1-r) are: Lee Rich, president of Lorimar Productions, Inc.; Jack Schwartzman, executive vice president of Lorimar Productions, Inc.; Walter Yetnikoff, president of the CBS
Records Group; and Mery Adelson, chairman of the board for Lorimar Productions, Inc.

noted, "I have always had the greatest
respect for Virgin Records and its artists.
Virgin is, and always has been, an innovatorand leader in Great Britain and Europe, andknow that our association will be both
rewarding and exciting."
Virgin's American offices, based in New
York, already have full operation promotion
and publicity departments, under the direction of Kurt Nerlinger and Sue Byrom,
respectively. The label's U.S. arm will shortly be opening marketing and production
departments. Virgin and Atlantic staffs will
be working closely together to ensure thegreatest coverage for each artist.
"Each release will be backed by a substantial merchandising campaign, and,following European practice, we will continue to emphasize packaging," said Berry.
In most cases, the artists will follow up
releases by touring.
"Virgin is continuing to pursue anaggressive A&R policy which is beginningto focus more on the United States," Berry
added. "Among our early releases will berecords from such new artists as The

Two updated and discofied classics
Cropper and Floyd's "Knock On Wood"and The Doors'"Light My Fire"are partly
responsible for Amii Stewart's sudden rise
to fame. The other reasons for her almost
overnight success are her sexy, soaring
vocals and a great deal of luck.
It was only a little over a year ago that
Stewart was a singer -actress -dancer andchoreographer in the London production of"Bubbling Brown Sugar." Today she has agold -selling album and a platinum -selling
single to her credit with "Knock On Wood."
In addition, after barely a month on thecharts, her "Light My Fire" single isbulleting up the Cash Box Black Contemporary Singles chart at the #52 position.
Intrigued by her performance in "Sugar,"producer/songwriter Barry Leng had
Stewart's version of the Cropper and Floyd
Touched Me/Closest Thing To Heaven."
Leng took the master to Hansa productions
and Stewart had her first British single. After a quick European promotional tour, shereturned to England and recorded The"Knock On Wood" LP with Leng producing.
When Ariola Records executives heard
Stewart's version of Cropper and Floyd
standard, they immediately signed the 23-

year -old singer.
On the subject of disco, which is where
she is receiving initial attention, Stewart
says, "I find disco to be very innovative. The
rhythmic patterns are fabulous. The wholeworld was just waiting for something different and Van McCoy started a whole new
movement. Now each artist is taking it
another step forward."
However, Stewart does not consider herself exclusively a disco act. "I'm a total artist," she insists, "anduse all my experience from dance and theater in mymusic."
Stewart got her start as a dancer in
Washington, D.C. working with the D.C.
Repertory Company for five years. She
worked her way up to dance captain andher big break came when she was asked tojoin the cast of "Bubbling Brown Sugar."Beginning her career at 16, Stewart has
also worked in such movies as "King Kong"and "Return Of The Pink Panther." Shemost recently performed her song hits on
Dinah, Merv and Soul Train.

NEW FACES TO WATCH

MANAGER PROFILE

Lawyer -Manager Specializes
In Working With Producers
by Ken Terry-

Bram Tchaikovsky

RunnerMost rock bands to have emerged fromthe British Isles in recent years have embodied some sort of new wave spirit, andone of the most promising of these newgroups is Bram Tchaikovsky, whose"Strange Man, Changed Man" LP on
Polydor Records possesses both style andenergetic enthusiasm.
Although the name of the band mightsuggest that it is inspired by classicalmusic, this is not the case. The group playswith admirable technical polish, but also
knows how to blend elements of '60s pop rock, progressive rock, and even strains ofjazz-rock. The clever, aggressive result is
dispatched with fluent professionalism andsuggests real commercial possibilities in
the States.
The group came together in July of 1978
when Tchaikovsky, who had previously
played with the Motors, recruited MickyBroadbent, a boyhood friend from Lincolnshire, England, who played guitar,
bass, and keyboards, and Keith Boyce, adrummer from the ill-fated Heavy Metal
Kids, for a series of club dates under thename Battleaxe (an endearing name for
one's girlfriend, according to Tchaikovsky).
After changing the name of the group to
Bram Tchaikovsky, the trio entered thestudio with Nick Garvey of the Motors torecord three songs that were eventually
released as a one-shot single for Criminal
Records. When the band signed with Radar
Records late last year, the tracks were rerecorded and now appear on the group's
album, which is the first LP to be distributedby Polydor under the terms of its recent distribution agreement with Radar. "Strange
Man, Changed Man" was co -produced by
Garvey, Peter Ker, and the band, which
recently added a fourth member, guitarist
Dennis Forbes from Gary Holton's Gems, in
preparation for its forthcoming summer
tour of Europe. Among the dates the band
will play are festivals in Germany, Holland,
Belgium, Finland, and Redding, England.
They will make their U.S. debut in Septem-

Old bands never really die, theirmembers just carry on, eventually building
younger, stronger and more contemporary groups. Such is the case with Island
Record's Runner, whose lead vocalist andguitar player Steve Gould formed the seminal English art -rock unit Rare Bird in 1969
when he was only 18 years of age. Gould
stayed with that group for seven years,
through various incarnations and what hetermed "a small amount of success in
Europe, including a few hit singles."Now, with Runner,,Geuld has taken acomplete about face from the complex,
classical rock sound of Rare Bird to simple
harmonies, melodies and basic rock 'n' roll.
Gould admits that is precisely what hewanted to do for quite some time.
"When Rare Bird split up, was a little
discouraged that we hadn't really made itcommercially," said Gould. "But more
importantly, realized that hadn't written
any really good songs or fulfilled myself
musically. So, within the next three years
got into songwriting."
During that period, Gould took several
session jobs to pay the bills, as did fellow
Bird member, friend and now Runner
member, bassist Mick Feat. Feat went on tojoin Streetwalkers and Gould played for
The Arrows, a little-known "teeny bopper"
band. That stint actually turned out to be
most fortuitous for Gould, as he met up withanother future Runner player, Alan Merrill,then fronting Arrows. Merrill, son of jazz
singer Helen Merrill and a transplanted
American, stayed in touch with Gould until
Gould signed on with Island in 1978.
"When it came time for me to go out into
the big, bad world and get a deal together,already had the musicians wanted to useon the album together," said Gould. "Afterthe LP was completed, the reception from
Island was so good that finances weremade available to us to continue as aband."
Feat, who had toured with Maxine
Nightingale and later toured and recordedwith Van Morrison after Streetwalkers, became a full-time member of the band, as
did Merrill and drummer Dave Dowle, who
also played in Streetwalkers. Gould addedthat he had wanted to form a band "forages, since the time that Rare Bird split up.
But really couldn't afford to do it in England because you pay to play."
Although Gould might have remained asolo artist, since he had obtained the contract, he indicated that "there was no way
could have done that. Sometimes working
as a band is a very expensive way of doing
things, but in the end think that it's the bestway. like to have people around me when
I'm out on the road and such. So dealt
everybody in."Now that the group's debut self-titledalbum is under their collective belt andmoving up the chart, Gould said that he isworking on preparing songs for the next LP
and looking to tour the U.S. sometime in thefall as a supporting act.
"We want to headline the big ones eventually, like Madison Square Garden. But,
for now, a short, quick apprenticeship as asupporting act will do just fine."
Strangely enough, Gould's roots cameback to haunt him once again recently
Genesis' Michael Rutherford asked him tosing on his first solo album. The strange
part is that Gould helped discover and sign
Genesis to the famous Charisma label
when he was still with Rare Bird. Fate works
in strange ways.

ber.

After two successful albums with theMotors, who gave us such songs as "Airport," "Dancing The Night Away," and"Forget About You," why did Tchaikovsky
leave the group? He explains that because
the band was conceived as a vehicle for thesongs of Carvey and Andy McMaster: "Inever really got a say in the organization of
the material. was just supposed to be therhythm guitar player." He says he was also
distressed by the pop direction that theMotors took with their second album. "Thefirst album was rock and roll, which is thekind of music that like to play. But then weturned into this studio monster that turned
out a pop LP, and wanted nothing more to
do with it."Speaking of his own musicalbackground, Tchaikovsky, who was bornPeter Bramall, said that his parents tried toforce-feed him weekly piano lessons, but"catching frogs was more fun," he recalls.
"My parents believed that if you wanted tolearn how to play an instrument, you had to
do it properly, but piano lessons were akiller. My teacher was an old woman with ahuge growth on her neck, and sitting downwith her was a truly horrific experience." Heturned instead to the music of the Everly
Bros., Eddie Cochran and Elvis Presley that
his brother was bringing into the house at
the time, and from those records, he says,"I got hooked."

NEW YORK
Lloyd Zane Remick, apartner in the Philadelphia law firm of
Barsky, Golden & Remick, says that henever had any intention of becoming a personal manager. It just sort of happened, herecalls, as a result of his legal involvementwith various artists and producers.

"There's a very fine line between just being the lawyer and dotting the i's and crossing the t's, and then, after you've been in thebusiness for a while, beginning to see otherdirections that people should take and what
they should do," explains Remick. "Whathappens is an artist asks you for some advice, and you give it, and if it works out,
before you know it, you've crossed out ofthe purely legal area into quasi management and business management
and personal management."
This is exactly what happened to Remick,
who has represented music industry clientsfor the past 15 years. He developed arelationship of trust with several recording
artists, and before he knew it, he was forming Zane Management Co.
That was a year and a half ago. Today,
Remick manages jazz saxophonist Michael
Pedecin, Jr., whose debut album will soon
be released on Philadelphia International;
Skip Drinkwater, who is producing Sweet
Bottom's forthcoming release on Elektra
and Eddie Henderson's new Capitol LP;
Phil Hurt, who produced the Spinners' "I'll
Be Around" and who will soon have his own
album out on Fantasy; and Ritchie Rome,
who produced such Ritchie Family hits as"Brazil" and "Best Disco In Town," as wellas many albums by other artists.
At the same time, Remick is handling thebusiness and legal affairs of Grover
Washington Jr. and artist/producer Bunny
Sigler, who produces Instant Funk(Salsoul/RCA) and is currently working on
albums by Curtis Mayfield (RSO), Patti
Brooks (Casablanca) and Dutch Robinson(New York International/RCA.) In addition,
Remick acts as a lawyer for such record industry clients as bassist Alphonso Johnson
and the songwriting team of John Fitch Jr.
and Reuben Cross, who penned the smash
hit, "Shame."
A Lawyer's Advantages
Although it is not at all unknown for alawyer to become a personal manager, artists generally have a lawyer as well as amanager. This is partly because artists feelthey need an objective third party to lookover their contracts with their managers.
Nevertheless, Remick says, it is possible towear both hats "if the proper precautions
and procedures are followed."

There are also advantages, states
Remick, in having a manager who is alawyer. A legally trained manager can beespecially helpful when it comes time tonegotiate a contract with a record label, henotes.
Remick has an unusual degree offamiliarity with contract law, since this iswhere his career started. Originally, he wasan attorney -advisor for the U.S. Department of Defense. He helped negotiate
government contracts for guns, planes andtanks. "And so, at an early age," he says, "I
was handling large dollar volume contracts
and negotiating them."
Somewhere along the line, Remick also
wrote a book on contract law, and thispublication brought him his first music industry client. Somebody who had a friend
in a rock group, called him up and asked
him to help the artist figure out a management contract. After that he represented
another rock group, and then another.
Eventually, he became involved in thelitigation surrounding "Jesus Christ
Superstar," and he also represented

Lloyd Zane Remick
Grover Washington Jr. in his lawsuit
against CTI and Motown. He has been
Bunny Sigler's lawyer for the past six years.
With his business orientation, Remickfeels especially comfortable in working withproducers. "I favor managing producers,
because theirs is a function that's more
related to the business end. Once they've
made up their minds about what areas theyi.e.. disco orare best able to produce
rock or R&B
you then attempt to placedeals for them. What that really amounts tois the negotiating and the handling of their
day-to-day affairs, making sure they staywithin their budgets, getting the promotionthat is necessary for their albums from therecord companies, and making sure they
get the right kinds of songs."
In order to improve Zane Management's--

relationships with record companies,
Remick recently hired Steve Schulman,
formerly national promotion director for
Salsoul, as Zane's director of creative services. Schulman acts as liaison to therecord companies on behalf of Zane'sclients. Remick also has an administrative
assistant, Elyce Carter, who specializes in
the publishing area.
Besides helping artists and producers
get better deals from record companies,
Remick advises them on how to invest theirmoney and protect their assets. This advice
is especially important for artists on their
way up the ladder of stardom, says Remick,
who may not know how to safeguard themselves from "parasites."
A personal manager, according to
Remick, must also be a psychologist. He
must be willing to listen carefully to what his
clients have to say and then try to "separate
the wheat from the chaff." "And one thing
that's very important," Remick adds, "isthat you can't be a yes-man. A lot of times,
the mistake that an artist makes is he surrounds himself with people who, becauseof the current gravy train, say yes, when in
the long run, it can be very damaging tohim."
But the foundation of the artist-manager
relationship in Remick's view, is simple
trust. "Sometimes, in career development,"
he explains, "you have to make moves
which are not always understood fully at thetime you make them. And if the artist or
producer does not always trust in yourthinking, there is that vacuum. So find it
essential that those who want me to be their
manager give me their complete and utter
trust. There's no other way that you canreally help them."I

NARM Looks At
Expansion Into
Canadian Market-

TORONTO With an eye towards eventual
expansion into this territory, the National
Association of Recording Merchandisers(NARM) will stage regional meetings here
Sept. 13.
Patrick Gorlick, NARM's director of
special projects, was in Toronto to huddle
with top-level record and retail executives,
ascertaining particular needs in the Canadian market as part of planning for the
Sept. 13 conference at the Sheraton Centrehere.
"In certain areas, think NARM will beable to help retailers and merchandisers in
Canada," Gorlick told Cash Box. "For example, bar coding. By the time Canadiancompanies adopt the bar coding system,
we'll have known all there is to know about
it."
NARM's Canadian membership is substantial enough to merit the September
gathering, Gorlick added. "We'll be conducting panel discussions, and hope to implement one-on-one rotating meetings," hesaid, where record and retail reps allot partof the one -day session to face-to-face encounters.
Gorlick intends to consult with the CRIA
(Canadian Recording Industry Association)and other industry organizations to plan themeeting.

Wohl Appointed
Executive VP Of
Label
Criteria's
YORK - Arnie Wohl has been namedNEW

executive vice president of Good Sounds
Records, a subsidiary of Criteria Recording
Studios.
Along with Good Sounds co -presidents
Ron and Howard Albert, Wohl will be
responsible for the day-to-day operation of
the label, as well as the promotion anddevelopment of new talent.
Currently, Good Sounds' roster has only
one artist on it, Laura Taylor, who recently
released an album called "Dancin' In My
Feet." Two other acts were dropped fromthe year -old label before Wohl's appointment. Wohl, who currently manages Taylor(although he is trying to place here withanother manager), said he plans to sign
three more acts to Good Sounds within thenext four months.
Good Sounds is distributed through TK
Records which Wohl feels is a distinct advantage, since TK, like Criteria, is headquartered in Miami, Florida.
Criteria will soon open a west coast
branch, and Good Sounds will then be able
to work out of those offices and expand its
west coast activities.

Future Of Black Music In
Disco Environment Debatedby Aaron Fuchs
PHILADELPHIAIs disco a threat to existing forms of black popular music, or can
the two coexist peacefully? This was thecentral question of the seminar at the BMA-

convention entitled "Black Music and Black
Music Artists In the '80s." The seminar,
moderated by Edward W. Wright, executive
vice president of the BMA, offered thelargest number of speakers of any of theconvention's panels. Among the panelists
were Jerry Butler and Chuck Brown,
recording artists, Wayne Geftman, discjockey; Cosmo Wyatt of the New England
Jockey Association; Mel Woolfork of

the International Black Club Owners
Association; Judy Weinstein of the For the
Record disco pool; Ray Caviano, presidentof RFC Records; Dave Clark, head ofpromotion for TK Records; Logan
Westbrook, president of Source Records;

EMI/UA Enjoying
Country And Pop
Chart Successby Marc Cetner-

Despite the fact that UnLOS ANGELES
ited Artists cut its roster from 80 acts to 38
when it merged with EMI America inFebruary of this year, the newly consolidated company is showing strength in
the pop, country and jazz markets.
EMI America/UA is also set to name a
new west coast A&R manager, east coast
A&R director and general manager of the
R&B division, which is unusual in this era of
cutbacks.
artists"UA always had a country baselike Kenny Rogers, Dottie West and Billie
Joe Spears did well for them" said EMI/UA
president Jim Mazza. "And we hope to continue and embellish upon that activity. But,
we must also be in the pop, jazz, R&B anddisco business."
Mazza cites the continuing success of
Kenny Rogers in the pop "superstar"category as the young company's greatest
success, but the label is also well represented in the jazz and pop arenas. Pop artist
Gerry Rafferty's new "Night Owl" album isbulleting up the Cash Box charts at the #30
position. In the jazz category, Earl Klugh's"Heartstring" album is riding at the #3 spot
on the Top 75 Jazz LP chart.
However, most of EMI/UA's chart
success has been with country -oriented artists. Kenny Rogers' "Gambler" LP was the
top disc on the Cash Box Country LP chartfrom Feb. 3 through May 12 and is currently#8 bullet on the Cash Box Pop LP Chart. His-(continued on page 42)

Eugene Jackson of National Black
Network; Roy Laurence of WCAU; Tom Ray
of TAR Productions; and Vince Pellegrino,
assistant director of marketing for Atlantic
Records.
Cosmo Wyatt began by saying that, while
disco has hurt black artists by setting up awhite club
black club dichotomy, it has
also opened the doors for many new artists,
and that while its immediate effects were tohurt the success of ballads, he foresaw a reemergence of mid -tempo records in the

-

'80s.

Non -Disco Audience
Dave Clark urged, "Don't be afraid of
disco. There are 10 million people out therethat don't disco, and they can be reached."
Clark stressed the fact that black music has
had to survive the onslaught of similar
sweeping trends before. "They said it wasover when the Beatles came," said Clark,"and we outlived them." Clark predictedthat black music, like country music, would
endure as long as it had the ability to tell a
story
quality he saw missing in disco
and stated that the worst thing black people
could do would be to capitulate to a fadwhen "you've already got something."-a-Gene Jackson reprimanded theaudience, saying, "If black music has suffered, and if someone has put somethingover on black music, it's your fault, you've
been discoing all your life." Pointing toblack radio, he said, "If you continue toprovide these aberrations your audience isgoing to leave you. You must rededicate
yourself to black music; there should be nosalt and pepper."Black Record Pools
Mel Woolfork charged that "record pools
are not sensitive to the interests of blackmusic. I'm not going to let non -blacks tellme what's hip; we're going to start developing black record pools." Woolfork also

charged that "people in black music
marketing can only say 'no' or 'maybe.'
These people don't realize that, by not supporting us, they can be fired. Once they lose
their black base, they are in a position
where their white counterpart can do a better job."
Tom Ray asserted that, as a result of the
disco boom, "black has never been playedso much in history. 70% of disco programming in white discos is black, while 100% of
disco programming in black discos isblack. There are going to be great records
by both black and white artists, and theblack retailer that doesn't stock a hot disco
record by a white artist is going to force hisblack customers to buy from whiteretailers."
Wayne Geftman rebuked the trademagazine disco charts, charging that, of
115 disc jockeys who are asked to report,(continued on page 42)

ROSELAND DISCO DANCE CONCERT SMASH SUCCESS
Maybe, just maybe,
June 20, 1979 will be remembered as the start of a new era in concert promotion. That's
the night that CBS sponsored "One Hot Summer Night" at the Roseland Ballroom. The
idea was to have a number of disco artists perform a few songs live, with disco music
played in between sets. Vince Pelligrino, associate director of disco marketing for CBS,said the show was designed "to expose the artists to a wider audience, and at the sametime maintain the disco party atmosphere." It worked beautifully. Roseland was so
crowded that people were turned away at the door, and tickets were going for $12.50
and $15. Most people danced while the artists sang, while others stood and watched.
Significantly, there was a high level of excitement when the performers came on stage,
and they included Gary's Gang, Melba
Moore, Keith Barrow, Brainstorm, Dan

Moore, Michael Zager and Deniece
Williams. The atmosphere was festiveand hassle -free, and, as Pelligrino said,
it was "an ideal middle road between aconcert and a dance." CBS now plans tobring the concept to other cities, and it
could signal the beginning of an '80s

Among thoseheaded across the water: Grover Washington, who goes to Germany, France, andGreat Britain; Tata Vega, who plans a continental tour; Cell Bee, who first heads south
for a South American tour; B.B. King, who will play numerous jazz festivals throughout

Rumour may have the title of the year wrapped up with "Frogs, Sprouts, Clogs andKrauts." The Kinks, who recorded their newest, "Low Budget," in New York at Blue

Rockets add a hot 'n' nasty rock flavor to thisFleetwood Mac original. An edit of the album
version, virtually all of the spicy guitar runs are left
intact. The tune has already gathered a lot of FM
play and Top 40 lists will find this to be a very hot
add and a great summer song. A winner.

This followup to the hit "You Take My Breath
Away" is also from the television movie "Sooner
Or Later." A pleasant love ballad, with Smith's
wispy, breathy vocals behind acoustic guitar,strings and woodblock, this will be a quick add toTop 40 and A/C lists. Smith has built a large teen
following.

The vocal duo last scored with "Love Is The

BMI) (J. Johnson, P. Kibble)
Subtle, sensual instrumentals, featuring a lazy guitar
line, synthesizer flashes and a low bass beat, fuel thisslow to mid -paced dance song. Female vocals areequally sexy, making this a winning conglomeration for
B/C, disco and Top 40 formats.
PRINCE PHILLIP MITCHELL (Atlantic 3587)
If It Ain't Love, It'll Go Away (4:00) (Hot Stuff Music
BMI) (Prince Phillip Mitchell)
Silvery -throated Mitchell has a soulful R&B singing
style that puts him in the same category as vocalists such
as Teddy Pendergrass. Female backup singing here is
right on target for the romantic lyrics, making this a tasty
B/C add.
SHAUN CASSIDY (Warner/Curb WBS 8859)
You're Usin' Me (3:30) (KCM Music/Michael Music
ASCAP) (M. Lloyd)
From the upcoming "Room Service" LP, this single
has a smoldering guitar line and a steady, discofied beatthat works well with the grown up lyrics. Cassidy graduates vocally from his teeny pop style and proves himself
to be a fine singer.

Different Worlds (2:15) (Bruin Music Co.
Gimbel, C. Fox)
Also the theme from the popular TV series "Angie,"
this song has already built up some pop radio play.
McGovern's sweet, high vocals are joined by jaunty,
string -driven instrumentation and a strong bass -drum
beat. Should pick up more pop adds.

Opening with a thundering combination of piano andelectric guitar, this cut from the raucous J. Geils Bandmoves into a steady boogie woogie rock beat, with razor
vocals and handclaps out in front. AOR and pop shouldpick up on this.

Few singers can match Wright's stirring, gospel tinged vocal delivery and this ballad proves it. A spoken

Another of Goodman's novelty numbers, stringing together bits of currently popular songs, under the themeof a conversation with the president about the energy

several formats.

Sallitt's satiny vocals are backed by a lush string arrangement here, as echoed drum, tambourine and a light
piano phrase maintain the flowing rhythm. For A/C andpop formats.

-SYLVESTER (Fantasy F-863)
Stars (3:08) (Masculine Music Co.) (P. Cowley)
Sylvester, one of the latest disco stars, applies his

from Two Tons O' Fun punch up the track. Crossover
potential is there.

their strength as singers here and Valerie Simpson
especially stands out. For B/C, disco lists.

Mobile Fidelity's "Original
INCOME FOR LABELS; QUALITY FOR CONSUMERS
Master Recordings" line is less than a year old, but the Chatsworth -based company isfinding a very receptive market for what the L.A. Times calls "today's ultimate in therealistic reproduction of recorded sound." Next month Mobile Fidelity will be delivering 75,000 copies of its 17th album, Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon," to 1,500
audio shops and a few mass retailers such as Music Plus and Licorice Pizza, with
Gordon Lightfoot's "Sundown," Al Jarreau's "All Fly Home" and Poco's "Legend" duelater this summer. The super high fidelity sound is achieved through the use of half speed re -mastering and high quality pure vinyl pressings manufactured in Japan.
According to Bob Miller of Mobile Fidelity, original master tapes are run at half speed aswell as the cutting lathe on the new master. Power requirements to drive the cutting
head are greatly reduced and the sound frequency drops one full octave. High frequencies take a lot of power and the process leaves a lot of power to draw on. For example,
20,000 cycle frequency becomes 10,000 cycle, and since cutting lathe limiters are noramlly set at 15,000 cycles hi-fi sounds can be accurately reproduced. The resulting
product, which lists for $15.98, is incredibly rich and distortion free. Mobile Fidelity
makes license agreements with the labels, giving them substantial royalty paymentsthat are a fresh after -sales income source. So far, 10 labels have handed over original
masters from such artists as Fleetwood Mac, Supertramp, George Benson, Grateful
Dead, Steely Dan, John Klemmer and Emmylou Harris, while only two companies haverefused to grant licenses. "We are a high fidelity component manufacturer producing
the record," explains Miller. "Record companies sell songs;
the key hi-fi component
we sell high quality music."

TAR Productions Specializes
In Black Radio Promotion
by Aaron Fuchs
NEW YORK-At the recent BMA Foun-

disco and with more traditional R&B in order to protect their most exclusive base.
Bucking this trend was panelist Tommy
Ray, who confidently asserted that "blackmusic has never showed more strongly on
the charts. Black discos play 100% blackmusic, while white discos play 70% blackmusic."For Ray, who heads up TAR Productions,Inc., an independent record promotion

early October release by Compass Inter-national Pictures. The soundtrack, planned
as a two LP release on Harum and distributed by Polydor, will feature a title trackby Arpeggio, with other cuts by GO, theRaes and Gary's Gang.
Release of the LP will precede the film by
30 to 60 days. Roller Boogie writer/composer Simon Soussan hopes to generate
pre-release interest in the film, similar tothe strategy employed for the SaturdayNight Fever and Grease soundtracks.
The film and soundtrack album will bebacked by a full promotional campaign, including parties at Studio One and Studio 54
together with pre-release appearances by
the film's stars on Mery Griffin andAmerican Bandstand.
Principal shooting will take place in Los
Angeles, Beverly Hills and Venice, Calif.,with Bruce Cohn producing and MarkLester directing. The screenplay is by Barry
Schneider.
Linda Blair will play a wealthy Beverly
Hills student of classical music who defects
against her parents' objections to the worldof Venice Beach and disco music. The film
climaxes with a 15 -minute roller disco
skating contest.
Compass President Irwin Yablans saysof the film's impact, "Just as Oklahoma!
revolutionized the Broadway musical in the'40s, disco music is creating a revolution inmovie musicals today." Budgeted at $1.2
million, Roller Boogie will be preceded byCompass' Nocturna, a comedy/horror

with both in its designated market, that ofblack radio.
Oddly enough, the earliest part of Ray's
involvement in the music business would
not seem to foretell an involvement withblack music. In 1964, at age 17, Ray was adrummer with the west coast group, theLeaves, whose version of "Hey Joe" wasone of punk rock's earliest manifestations.
"We played with everybody," recalls Ray,
"from Percy Sledge to Frank Zappa to the
Beach Boys. But, even though made $81,000 on the road in 1966, the group soon
broke up. One of the guys left the country tobeat the draft, there were other internal
hassles, and at age 19 had developed anulcer."
Ray switched gears and moved to a position in promotion for the short-lived Canterbury Records. After that, he got the two jobs
that would turn his musical tastes around;first, as promotion man for Heart Distributors, and then as the regional promotion men for London Records' West Coast
operation. "Heart had the Starday-Kingline," recalls Ray, "and they had acts ranging from the Manhattans to James Brown.

Little and Bob Reiley, two of the best R&B
promotion men of their time.
"At London another turning point wasworking with and getting to know Al Green.
Between his music and his personal style,became 100% committed to black music."
In 1973, Ray went independent. "At first,

Festival
HOLLYWOOD BOWL, L.A.

In atriumphant debut just one week before thebeginning of summer, the Playboy Jazz
Festival emerged as one of the best andmost successful gigs of this type seen in
Los Angeles in years. Featuring an all-starlineup gathered to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Playboy magazine, the two-day

featured each performer for 5-10 minutes
apiece. Fairly successful as far as this typeof jam is concerned, the crowd really didn't
mind the few soft spots in light of the impressive array of greats making up theband.
As the evening and festival drew to aclose, Playboy publisher Hefner once again
promised the crowd that the event will beheld annually.
richard imamura

festival drew over 30,000 fans andprompted Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner
to promise to make the event an annual
one.

Beginning Friday with a jam session
featuring Joe Farrell & Co., followed by aCharles Mingus tribute by folksinger Joni
Mitchell, the festival put to rest any notionthat jazz can't make it in Los Angeles.
Mitchell's set was followed by one of thereal highlights of the festival
a mindblowing set by Benny Goodman. Fired withan enthusiasm that was said to be reminiscent of his work during his peak years,-

Goodmannot

only

showedthepredominantly young crowd why he wascrowned the "King of Swing," but also, that
he hasn't yet abdicated the throne.
Following his set, Goodman was broughtback for an encore ... the only time thishappened on Friday.
A further trip down memory lane wasprovided by the Count Basie Orchestra,
which wowed the crowd with a set that included the orchestra by itself, with singer
Joe Williams and finally, with singer Sarah

Vaughan.

Movingsmoothlybutenergetically through big band swing
arrangements, to the polished stylings ofWilliams, to the sassiness of Sarah, theorchestra's evening -ending set had theaudience primed for more on Saturday.
Beginning in the afternoon, Saturday'sshow didn't disappoint.
The internationalism of jazz could havebeen the theme for the early portion of
Saturday's show as the Brazilian sounds ofAirto and Flora Purim filled the air, especially on "Five Hundred Miles High." Next
in line, the Afro-Cuban sounds of veteranpercussionist/singer/jazzist Willie Bobo
were smooth as ever with the energetic
sounds from south of the border.
Finally, Weather Report came on andfilled the air with a lot more than rain or bad
news. The group many in the audience hadcome to hear, Weather Report blasted
through their set, leaving a dumbstruck
audience in their wake. Certainly for many,
this was the highlight of the Saturday show.
Still, the show had to go on, and Chick
Corea and Herbie Hancock made sure thatit did. Using only the acoustic sound, Coreaand Hancock avoided a crowd letdown
following Weather Report with some incredible improvisations and arrangements.
Then, to close the show, Lionel Hampton
stopped the show. First at the head of his
own orchestra, then with an all-star band
assembled especially for the festival,
Hampton drew the only crowd response
equivalent to that given Goodman the night
beforethus making it a clean sweep for
the Oldtimers.
Hampton's stage manner was exquisite,as he chatted and joked with the crowd, led
his orchestra and even played a short vibes
duet with festival emcee Bill Cosby.
Finally, Hampton's all-stars Corea andHancock (pianos), Dizzy Gillespie andFreddie Hubbard (trumpets), Dexter Gordon, Gerry Mulligan and Stan Getz (saxophones); Ray Brown (bass); Airto (congas)--

illage People-

A five-minute
GREEK THEATRE, L.A.
long drumbeat prepared the audience forthe spectacular entrance of the Village People. But when the curtain finally opened, theVPs were nowhere in sight. Instead, ateepee, the swinging doors of a Westernsaloon and a portable construction site
toilet stood alone on stage.
Suddenly, David "Scar" Hodo jumped
out of the toilet and began a writhing,blatantly erotic cross between disco danc-

ing and Vegas bumps and grinds.
Stroboscopic lighting gave the choreography a stylized, almost ritualistic flavor.
One -by -one, Hodo's fellow macho men
emerged from their symbolic roosts: Cowboy Randy Jones swaggered through thesaloon doors; Felipe Rose, Indian headdress flapping in the breeze, did a disco war
dance outside his teepee; leather man Glen
Hughes roared onstage straddling aHarley; Military man Alex Briley arrived in a
jeep, and Victor Willis, a motorcycle cop in
modified white leotards, brougth up therear on another motocycle.
Five more minutes were devoted tochaotic, everybody -do -his -own -thingboogieing until suddenly, on cue, the group
launched into a tightly choreographed
selection from its first, lesser known LP.
The audience at the Greek, however, didn't
care about the obscurity of the song. The
strobe, the drums and the lascivious,
suggestive dance movements were too involving, even mesmerizing.
The second selection, the title track fromthe platinum "Go West" album, placed thegroup in more familiar, accessible territory.
By the time the VPs got into "San Francisco," which "Hollywood" nicely segued
into, the audience was on its feet, dancing
and singing the lyrics which were rear projected on a screen in a sort of multimedia answer to the bouncing ball ofyesteryear's cartoons.
"Macho Man" gave the VPs the chance toshowcase their supermasculine danceroutines which are in turn a satire of theultra -feminine movements of such '60s
groups as the Supremes, et al.
The curtains closed while the stage wasprepared for the finale, "In The Navy."
Gloria Gaynor opened the act, performing early hits such as "Never Can Say
Goodbye" and ""Honey Bee" along withstellar selections from her platinum "Love
Tracks" LP. A fairly substantial pit
orchestra helped duplicate what is to agreat extent a studio act.

oan Armatrading-

CARTER BARRON AMPHITHEATRE,WASHINGTON, D.C.
Joan Armatradingbrought an extremely polished stage act toWashington, and the result was an effective
blend of theatrics and Armatrading's
smoldering solo talent.
But, of course, the difference between
A&M recording artist Joan Armatrading
and many other female singer/songwriters
is the fact that Armatrading can do it alone,
if necessary. And there were several songs,
most notably "Steppin' Into Life," where Armatrading did take total command of thestage. The highly satisfying result was
further proof that Armatrading has amagnetic star quality which is on the vergeof becoming fully realized.
Unfortunately, Armatrading's voice wasa bit strained in Washington, so she wisely
demurred to her band, allowing them tostretch out on numbers like "Let Me Get
Away" and "Fun Fun Fun." The musicians,
made up of Little Feat's Richard Haywardon drums, Red Young on keyboards, Ricky
Hirsch on guitar, Bill Bodine on bass, and
Lon Price playing horns, responded splendidly, laying down tasteful rock riffs behindArmatrading's sensitive lyrics.
Perhaps the most distinctive aspect ofArmatrading's performance was her
passionate intensity on stage and the intelligence of her lyrics, which seemed to accurately capture an elusive feminine sensibility. In fact, her encore, "Back To The
Night," reflected both these qualities, andwas a rousing conclusion to an evening ofextraordinary musical quality.

rapidity with which new band Sky has been
formed and marketed is indicative of thesuccess -certainty which a near -perfectmusicianship formula can achieve. In only a
few weeks, the group was formed, thematerial written, created and recorded anda contract signed with Ariola Records.
Sky is no ordinary new band, but a disciplined blend of some of the finest talentaround in the music business today. With
classical guitarist John Williams, Herbie
Flowers on bass, Kevin Peek also on
guitars, Tristan Fry handling percussion
and Francis Monkman on keyboards,
representing the creme -de -la-creme ofcontemporary bands, are out to convert
commercial ears to a serious fusion ofmusic from the past and present through agrand rock medium.
During the first half of the show Sky performed the A -side of their first album, titled"Sky," launching into "Westway" then on
through into "Carrillon," "Danza," the Erik
Satie classic "Gymnopedie" and a fieryrock -synthesizer piece, "Cannonball."
Aside from the obvious mastery of each individual musician, the magic of Sky's appeal is in their ability to fuse classical andcontemporary themes through an electronic rock idiom without any stage
theatrics usually associated with classic rock bands of similar ilk.
With power and ease Sky changed
moods from the melancholic and ethereal,with "Gymnopedie," into a gutsy, feverish,boogie mood with "Cannonball." Flowers
thumped out bass rhythm lines with all themania of a well -seasoned disco freak.
The second half featured side two of their
album in its entirety, one complete piece
titled "Where Opposites Meet." During thispiece the band captured almost every major symphony -rock style that has occurredin the last ten years, from an essence ofGenesis, Yes, and Mike Oldfield, to a jazz -ON STAGE

oriented piece heavily laden with disco
bass lines that has yet to be categorized.
Sky's expertise seems unlimited and if they

given set of good session musicians can go
into a studio, put together a solid songpackage and call it an album. But the true
test of perseverance and acceptancecomes when such a band hits the road andserves their material live. The six -member
band known collectively as Tycoon is now
attempting to pass that test.

The boys in the band seemed bent on giving it all they could, visually as well asmusically. Front man Norman Mershon added an extra dose of punch to his vocals,and Mark Rivera quote simply blew theaudience away with his hot sax. Though theseveral hundred audience members weremore than receptive the entire evening,
naturally the biggest response arose when
the band began the clock -like opening bars
to "Such A Woman."
When Tycoon exited the stage after a hot,full set and an encore, they left behind an

been twelve years since the Kingston Trioretired, but that fact only adds to therespect due this former trio member, John
Stewart. Most of the audience observing
Stewart on his comeback trail was too
young to have vivid memories of the early'60s music offerings. But they are tuned in
to Stewart's "Bombs Away Dream Babies"
LP and, primarily, his hit single "Gold."
His style has evolved into spare, driving
high -intensity rock. After warming up with acouple of songs not included in the justreleased album, Stewart launched into
"Lost Her in the Sun." His voice is husky
and he is interesting to watch, a mature
stage presence that's encouraging in lightof some youngsters on their way up for the
first time.
Both "Gold" and "Midnight Wind," fromthe "Bombs Away" album, got a lavishround of applause. The tone of the evening
suggested that Stewart will make his comeback with grace, carrying a new musicalimage into the '80s.

Hot Chocolate has a great formula. They take a steady rhythm
kick, a driving funky bass line, mix in some surreal synthesizer
embellishments and sprinkle it all lightly with engaging
choruses. It's sort of a spacey funk/rock brew, and "Going
Through The Motions" is the group's most fully realized work.
"Going Through The Motions" and "Dance (Get Down To It)" arewinning cuts.

Quantitative Proof:
Musicland has quantitative proof of thedirect relationship between in-store playand sales. The releases featured on the
prepackaged eight-track tapes for use inin-store play have specially coded tickets
on the jacket covers, making it easy to correlate sales and playlist effectiveness. Only
George Levy, president of Sam Goody,
would qualify his competitors' enthusiasm
by saying that the company's earlier "Buy
'Em, Try 'Em" campaign, which consistedof a seven-day trial purchase of 10 new releases, was much more successful than instore play.
Specific records which have benefited
from such in-store promotion include Molly
Hatchett's self -titled album, when played at

WEA Hikes Canada List
(continued from page 7)

Representatives for CBS, MCA and Infinity all say they'll hold the line at $8.98 "forthe foreseeable future." A spokesperson
for Capitol -EMI says the firm is currently
revising its pricing policy and will soon announce price hikes to $8.98 from $7.98.
But, he added, "We aren't headed abovethat mark."
Hike Reasons
Grant cited federal sales tax, royalty rateincreases, manufacturing costs and the
supply of polyvinyl chloride (pvc) as factors
contributing to the 31 cent price hike. "Backa few years ago, Canadian suggested list
prices were always higher than American
ones. We were at $4.29 when Americans
were at $3.98, and at $5.29 when they wereat $4.98. I think we're gravitating towards
the 29 cent (over the dollar) point (in pricing). But I have to reiterate, this is by nomeans an across-the-board pricing revision, nor do we have any plans to do so.
We'll continue to evaluate albums, andmake pricing decisions on the basis ofcosts. If those costs increase, then we'll
likely be forced to do the same," he said.
Initial reaction to the price increase has
been minimal. Most retailers were discounting the Cars album considerably,
having placed substantial advanced orders
for the highly -anticipated release.

Blondie's new album innumerable times

Effect on Radio Airplay
There is almost unanimous agreementthat if in-store play does have an effect instimulating radio airplay, it is impossible todetermine or quantify that effect. Maurice
Simon of National Record Mart bluntly
says, "The radio stations don't care what
we're playing in the stores. If I call and tellthem what's playing, they're likely to say 'So
what?'."On the other hand, Lou Fogelman, Music
Plus president, cites one case where Capitol convinced radio stations to play a newrelease by mentioning that the release had
had a lot of in-store play at Music Plus outlets.

Generally, most chain executives andstore managers will admit to experiencing
pressure from record companies whichwant the stores to promote certain releases, but the pressure is almost always asoft sell. In response to any kind of pressure, National Record Mart's Simon asks,"Why should push one record when havea whole storeful of records to sell?"Camelot's Paul David is willing to accommodate "if they ask us to help, and if it's
part of an ongoing promotional campaign.
But we don't do it if the label requests only aparticular record."
Soft Sell
One particular soft sell consists of arecord company making spot calls to
Record Bar outlets. If the label's current release happens to be playing at the store, theclerk who answers the phone gets a cash
prize.
Peaches Records has a more formal arrangement with record companies. David
Kastens, VP sales and promotion for
Peaches' parent company, Nehi, explainsthat if a company buys a 6' by 6' album
board, part of the same deal involves instore play of the album. If a manufacturer
representative drops in at a Musicland retail division office, the office will normally
write a memo to its outlets requesting instore play for the manufacturer's release.
Although it takes many different forms
and, depending on the chain, is subject todifferent management tactics and programming, in-store record play is a vital
factor in stimulating record interest andII

LOS ANGELES

Video was the name of the game at the summer Consumer
CHICAGO CES ROUNDUPElectronics Show, held at McCormick Place in Chicago June 3-6. Close to 900 exhibitors
displayed new products, but in particular crowds flocked to see videodisc del'nonstrationsof the Magnavision unit (the Magnavox/MCA/Pioneer system) and the new JVC model,
which is stylus -based (similar to RCA's SelectaVision) and plays a grooveless disc. The
deluxe version has multiple functions and a PCM decoder for playback of digital audio
discs. The price of the basic model is expected to undercut the Magnavision unit. Hitachi
also announced that they were working on a solid state laser system. Sony and JVC introduced new VCRs, featuring longer playing lengths in their respective Beta and VHS formats as well as several new functions. Toshiba, inventor of standard helical scan video
recording, debuted their new Longitudinal Video Recording system (LVR), which utilizes afixed rather than rotating head. Although recording time is limited to only one hour due tohigh tape speed, the projected retail price for the unit is as little às $500. Projection TV took
a giant step forward with the introduction of Henry Kloss' Novabeam, which compares
favorably with most units on the market but whose retail cost will be substantially less.
Perhaps the most heartening news of all was the general feeling at the show that themarriage between audio and video would be fully consumated soon, as stereo television ispredicted to be four years or less in the offing and the videodiscs are being recorded
already in two high quality stereo tracks. Record retailers are ready now to sell videodiscs
through existing racks and video cassette sales should become as natural as audio
cassette or eight track sales. To prove the point, a mock-up of an ordinary record store wasdisplayed at CES with video software integrated with standard audio products. Positive
feedback to the display showed that the point was well taken.
The use of promotional video
ROCK TO REEL MEET MULLS VID TAPE QUESTIONS
tapes, it seems, has brought about more questions than answers from attorneys, artists'managers, production compnies and the record labels themselves. A recent seminar, entitled "Rock To Reel," co -sponsored by Media Seminars, Inc. and The Studio Group in
Hollywood, headed by director Charles Saimore, focused on such topics as payments toartists and labels for commercial usage, ownership, mechanical and synchronizationrights to the films and the future legalities of home use. From the record retailers'
standpoint, Nancy Balagna, director of advertising for Peaches Records, emphasized thecontinuing usefulness of such tapes for promoting the stores as well as the artists. And,
despite the costliness of videos, label reps and managers agreed.

AIR PLAY-"Jukebox research is a valuable tool in radio
JUKEBOX RESEARCH IN RADIO
that is not used very often. Most jukebox operators are willing toprogrammingcooperate with radio stations. Radio stations can trade information available from request lines and can also alert jukebox owners to new releases which they will be
programming in the near future. In general, people have to make a monetary commitment to play them. This indicates the most popular familiar songs from one week toanother. and in the case of taverns, indicates an active response from individuals who
may neither buy music or request songs at a radio station." This information is takenfrom 'The Secrets of Programming Power,' a book written by Pat Martin, program
director at WSPT/Stevens Point. Martin explained that 5 to 7 records on his playlist
getting good phone response are also cited by jukebox programmers as some of themost played. Similarly, when records start burning out on the boxes, it could be an early
indication to remove a record from heavier rotation or even off the playlist. Steve
Sesterhenn, music director at KFMD/Dubuque, finds jukebox research very helpful ina couple of areas. Besides usual mainstay oldies like the Beatles or the Beach Boys,jukeboxes are stocked with familiar popular records and with brand new records,
usually a follow up to a hit, or by established artists like Barry Manilow, Donna Summer
and the Bee Gees. "Roughly 5 to 10% of the top box plays are records that am considering adding to my playlist," Sesterhenn noted. He also pointed out jukeboxes' value
in researching demographics. Records played in a college bar, an ice cream shop or
penny arcade will be noticeably different from those played in an establishment frequented by the 35+ crowd. Again, from Martin's book, "You need to look for a common
denominator in the songs that get played." Record companies should note the importance of jukebox/radio activity as well. If a PD or MD recommends new records thatcoin operators should buy, then this is generating more sales. With over a million
jukeboxes in the country, the sales
potential on a single can be enormous.

WBLS/NY, KMET/LA Are
Big Winners In Spring Book
(continued from page 7)

tions which cracked the Top 10 were
WRFM, which registered a 4.7 share, downfrom last book's 5.6, and WPAT-FM, whichrose from a 2.9 to a 4.1 share.
The only AOR station to place in the Top
10 was WPLJ, which had a 3.5 rating,holding steady from their previous 3.6 effort.
Both WNEW-AM and FM registered impressive gains, as the adult contemporary
AM station rose from a 2.9 to a 3.4, and theprogressive AOR FM station jumped from
1.8 to 2.8.

WNBC continued its lackadaisicalratings performance, rising slightly to 2.7
from January -February's 2.6. Charlie Warner, the station's vice president and generalmanager, has already been fired, and industry reports place program director Bob
Pittman's future in doubt.
In other ratings, WHN, a country station,
dropped from 3.6 to 3.0; WPIX-FM, a rockformated station that has received press attention for its new wave programming, roseslightly to 1.1, up from it's previous .9 showing; WRVR, a jazz station remained at 1.0;
WXLO, an FM rocker, rose to 2.5 from 2.2;
and WTFM, which recently switched to acontemporary pop format, rose from 1.0 to
1.8.

KMET is enjoying a healthy lead over its
contemporary music competitors in the Los
Angeles radio market, according to theApril/May Arbitron summaries. The AOR
station has been on top of the pack for morethan a year now, and jumped a full point
since the winter ratings (from a 4.8 to 5.8
average quarter hour share), while the majority of its competition lost ground.
Headed up by program director Sam
Bellamy, KMET has maintained its airwave
supremacy with the aid of such air personalities as Mary Turner and Jeff Gonzer.
KMET can attribute some of its ratings success to its presentation of the Califfornia
World Music Festival, which was headlined by such staple AOR acts as Aero -smith, Cheap Trick, Van Halen and Ted
Nugent.
The only station that KMET didn't beatout in the April/May Los Angeles ARB istalk radio/Dodger station KABC, which
jumped from a 6.8 to a whopping 8.9 withthe start of the new baseball season.
The closest contemporary music station
rival to KMET, is KMPC. The station, which
is programmed toward a Pop/Adult audience, made a jump from a 2.6 in theJan./Feb. book to 3.7 in the April/May
issue.
A left field success in this Spring's ratings race is KRLA, programmed by veteran
Art Laboe. The rock/oldies formatted station jumped from a 2.2 to a 3.5. A similarly
formatted station, automated adult contemporary/oldies station KRTH, slipped
two tenths of a point, but still remains at arespectable 3.3.
Ratings for other contemporary musicstations in the L.A. radio market include:
AOR KLOS which slipped from a 2.8 to a2.6; Top 40 lame duck KTNQ up a tenth of apoint at 2.4; two Top 40s, (KHJ and KFI)
which both fell to 2.1; soft rocking KNX-FM
in at a 2.2; Top 40 KIQQ remaining at a 1.8;
soft rocker KZLA registering at 1.6; AOR
KWST dipping a tenth of a point from 1.4 to
1.3 and AOR/New Wave KROQ jumping
two tenths of a point to 1.2.
The disco market in L.A., which showeddefinite signs of growth in the Jan./Feb.
Arbitron, has trailed off a bit as KUTE wentfrom 3.6 to 3.1 and KIIS-FM plummetted to
2.2 from 2.6.
Black contemporary music has also
been experiencing a slight decline. Powerhouse KDAY, headed up by PD Bob Mayo,lost some ground as it went from a 2.7 to
2.5. KJLH sat still at 1.1.

Country mainstay KLAC moved up atenth of a point to 2.8 in the April/May book,and L.A.'s jazz station, KKGO, which isbenefitting from the public's desire for jazz
crossover artists, inched up two tenths of apoint from a 1.5 to 1.7.

THE MASTER & THE MUSICIANPhil Keaggy
New Song
List: 7.98.
NS0006
Producer: Phil Keaggy"The Master & The Musician" is the embodiment of a mastercraftsman. Phil Keaggy not only plays various instruments (guitars and percussion), but he also produced and arranged this
instrumental album of old English melodies, classical, jazz androck 'n' roll. Only the latter style seems out of place and obligatory, but fortunately it does not comprise the bulk of the album.
Acoustic music forms the backbone of this album with a medieval feel running throughout. The music was all written by
Keaggy with a corresponding story by Stuart Scadron-Wattles.
"Jungle Pleasures" will entice programmers to travel to the beatof a different drummer.

ACTS
Buryl Red & Ragan Courtney
Triangle TR 122
List: 12.00.
Producer: Buryl Red
Brilliantly written, produced, arranged and performed"Acts" is a masterpiece of musical drama. The Buryl Red
Chorus and Orchestra with soloists Cynthia Clawson, David
Ford, and Rusty Youmans and narrative cast retell the miracleof events after Jesus' resurrection. The setting is a secret meeting of believers who become so caught up in the recounting of
the series of phenomena that each occurrence comes to life
again with added intensity and emotional impact. This double
album could constitute an entire radio worship service as well
as offering selected cuts, i.e., the awesome finale of "All Hail The
Power."--Cash Box/June 30, 1979

APRIL/BLACKWOOD CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY April/Blackwood Music recently completed two years of operation in Nashville.

Getting together to perhaps discuss these
possibilities are (l -r): producer Norro Wilson; producer Billy Sherrill; Judy Harris and Rick
Smith, April/Blackwood; and producer Rick Hall.

45 -REVIEWS - LP

WILLIE NELSON & LEON RUSSELL (Columbia 3-11023)
Heartbreak Hotel (3:00) (Tree Pub.
BMI) (M. Axton)
It takes a lot of confidence for a major artist to cover Elvis Presley on any song, much lessa signature record like "Heartbreak Hotel." But Willie Nelson and Leon Russell have rearranged this standard with a bright Western -Swing tempo, and their version sounds like abrand new tune with hit stamped all over it.
KENNY ROGERS & DOTTIE WEST (United Artists UA -X1299 -Y)
Til I Can Make It On My Own (3:16)(Algee Music/Altam Music
BMI) (G. Richey/T. Wynette/B. Sherrill)
A hit by Tammy Wynette a few years ago (and one of her personal favorites), this touching ballad is perfect for Kenny Rogers and Dottie West. All the ingredients are here for a #1
country single and a possible crossover hit.
NARVEL FELTS (MCA MCA -41055)
Tower Of Strength (2:30) (Famous Music
ASCAP) (B. Bacharach/B. Hilliard)
Narvel Felts has achieved a great deal of chart success in country music with his coverversions of old R&B and pop hits, and his new record is exceptionally strong and should
chart well.
JOHNNY RODRIGUEZ (Epic 8-50735)
Fools For Each Other (2:38) (Hallnote Music/Bus Ride Music
BMI) (J. Rodriguez/B.
Boling)This medium -paced ballad is the second release off of Johnny Rodriguez' first
Columbia LP, and it is also co -written by Rodriguez. Production by Billy Sherrill is exceptional, and the record is as strong or stronger than his prior single.
JOHN ANDERSON (Warner Bros. WBS -8863)
Low Dog Blues (2:50) (Al Gallico Music
BMI/Cypress Music
ASCAP) (John David
Anderson/Lionel A. Delmore)
John Anderson is a young, upcoming artist who is unfamiliar to most country audiences, but this bluesy single proves he is a real talent with a clear future. Programmers
should listen closely to this record.

THE TWO AND ONLY
The Bellamy Brothers- Warner/Curb
BSK-3347
Producer: Michael Lloyd
List: 7.98
The Bellamy Brothers have developed a pleasing, soft,
country -rock sound which is right in tune with modern country
radio programming. Their new album contains 10 bright, well written songs which are particularly suited for summertime. The
best cuts are "If Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You
Hold It Against Me)," "May Ycu Never" and "Blue Ribbons."
Coming off a #1 country single, The Bellamy Brothers should
chart well with this album.

Earle's record about it is a gas! The record has not been EPA
rated yet but we're road testing it now and it looks like it's
gonna' get great mileage.

Parton/Wagoner Lawsuit Continues-

NASHVILLE
In an affidavit filed last week
in response to Porter Wagoner's $3 million
lawsuit against her, Dolly Parton claims that
Wagoner has been operating Fireside
Studio, a subsidiary of Owepar PublishingCo., "for his own pleasure and benefit"
rather than to profit Owepar.
Her attorney, Stanley M. Chernau, went
on to say that the Fireside Studio has not
paid rent to Owepar since August, 1978.
Owepar is owned by Parton andWagoner, with Parton owning 51% interest,
and Wagoner owning 49%. Chernau said in
Chanery Court that Parton gave Wagoner
his 49% interest as a Christmas gift in 1974,
before the singing duo broke up. Parton
said in her affidavit that she originally formed Owepar in conjunction with her uncle,
Bill Owens, not with Wagoner.
Unless Chancellor Robert S. Brandt
grants Wagoner's request for an injunction
against it, Parton will proceed with plans toreorganize the company's board at astockholders meeting June 25.
Chernau said he notified Wagoner last
January that Parton planned to amend the
Owepar bylaws so that she could resignfrom its board and elect Chernau andmusical arranger Greg Perry to succeed
her.

Wagoner disagrees with the action,
stating in his filing that he feels "she (Parton) plans to use the new director toHall Of Fame

railroad through her ideas about runningthe company, and to distribute to herself
out of the corporation the songs shewants."
Wagoner charged in his lawsuit, filed
March 21, that Parton has breached a 1970
management contract with him and has
removed some 130 songs from the Owepar
catalog and released some of them on her
albums without consulting him.
Wagoner has asked that the court liquidate the firm's assets and divide theproceeds between he and Parton.
Wagoner's attorney offered to withdraw
fu s request for an injunction if Chernau
would agree not to "dispose of or tamper
with" Owepar's assets while the lawsuit ispending.
No decision was reached on that

proposal, pending Brandt's decision onwhether to block the meeting.

Ty Miller, music director of WEAL in Greensboro, NorthMUSIC DIRECTOR PROFILE
Carolina says, "I was bitten by the 'ham' bug at the tender age of 16, when was listening toan announcer calling -himself Prince Ike, on WEAL." Miller went to the station to talk wdh
Ike, who let him do an hour on the air, after which, Miller admits, he was hooked. He got a
part-time job with WEAL for two years, and then was drafted into the service. After leaving
the service, Miller worked as a film engineer for CBS News station WTOP in Washington
D.C. for a year and a half. Still wanting to be in radio, he heard of aposition in North Carolina at WMDE at a 100,000 watt FMer, which
he applied for and got. Miller stayed at the station for two years,
when he left the station to take on the afternoon drive slot at WEAL.
He was promoted to music director three years ago. Though Miller
has an extensive background in film, he says he will not change
from a career in radio. "I feel have something to offer radio, andmost enjoy working behind the scenes as oposed to being the front
person," he says.

MILLIE JACKSON GOES COUNTRY
Spring Records recording artist Millie Jackson
played before what many would feel is an entirely foreign market for her when she performed recently at the Lone Star Cafe. Not only did Jackson play to a sell-out audience in theclub, but the show was also broadcast live over WHN, which is New York's hottest country
station. Ed Salamon, program director at WHN, says, "I had been talking with Jackson,
who is a constant listener to the station, and learned that she had acquired her affinity forcountry music as a child, when her parents who were very religious only allowed her towatch The Tennessee Ernie Ford show because it had gospel hymns sung during theshow." During her recent show, Jackson covered several different styles from disco, country, R&B and country rock on a Merle Haggard song. Jackson has always included at least
one country song on all of her albums, including covers of songs previously recorded by
Barbara Mandrell, Merle Haggard Kenny Rogers and Kris Kristofferson, to name a few.

DISCOTOP 40 DISCODISCOBREAKS-

L.A. HELLOClaudja Barry swooped down from Canada this week, making numerous
radio and disco appearances in the Los Angeles area. Next stop is San Francisco, with
Atlanta, Miami and NYC to follow. In September, she'll go back into the studio to cut
another LP. Born in Jamaica, Claudja spent most of her life in Canada except for a periodof classical music training in Germany. Her 12" "Boogie Woogie Dancin' Shoes" on
Chrysalis recently bulleted into the Top Ten on the Cash Box Disco chart and a similarly titled album has just been released. Of disco's oft -criticized sameness of sound and overproduced quality, Claudja says, "I like to record songs where the vocalist is so distinctivefrom the back up that you can hum along with the music."
Reports from those attending the recent Seattle DiscoSPLASHES IN THE POOL
Awards were unanimously favorable. Special honorees at the June
10 weekend event included RCA's T.Q. Featherstonshaw andCasablanca's Michelle Hart. Seattle's Electric Canary Record Poolcited the two promoters "for being there when the going got rough.
A friend like you is hard to find" .. Sally Laces' has left DJs
Unlimited in L.A. to take up disking duties at the New Pasta Housein East Los Angeles ... Southern California Disco DJs Association
VP Brad Blair, who used to disc at Studio One, is departing the pool
to do west coast promotion for MCA Records ... Donna Summer
and Dan Hartman received top honors as international disco artists
Vickie Sue Robinsonof the year at the June 3 Ontario Disco Pool Awards Show. Claudja
Barry and Gino Socclo won the same awards in the Canadian category. The international
disco single and album awards were given to Chic's "Le Freak" and Sister Sledge's "We
Are Family," respectively ... The Florida Record Pool recently opened a Jacksonvillebranch headed by Ray Huston who does deejay chores at Zachary's in Jacksonville. The
new branch increases the pool's membership to 135... The Southwest Record Pool in
Phoenix, Arizona, is particularly busy these days. The pool will hold Discofest 79 on July 28,
an outdoor disco promotional party featuring label -sponsored booths. The Raddison
Resort's Ride 'n' Rock Disco in Scottsdale is the site of the event, being held to benefit the
local muscular dystrophy association. Bullwinkle's in Phoenix held an "unofficial"opening
June 16 with the pool's president, George Hill, spinning. Ariola's Jack Witherby was on
hand for the club's debut. A grand and official opening is planned for the Fourth of July.
"Sunday with the Spinners" is broadcast 6-9 p.m. Sundays on KXTC-FM, Disco 92, inPhoenix. Members of the pool, which co-sponsors the program, chat with the show's host
Rick Nuhn and showcase new releases. Listener response has been great, reports Bob
Baldwin, director of pool operations.
The prize in this first
THIS WEEK'S "UNLIKELY PROMOTIONAL EFFORT" AWARD
and continuing weekly award goes to the Fantasy/WMOT label for its unusual promotion of

Unusually long, danceable intro followed by Bassey's signature style
A full orchestra, including ethereal harp arpeggios, backs up this enduring singer. Funky,
piano -dominated break is so enchanting, it should be listened to in the quiet of one's

You may remember this as a rock and roll hit of the early '60s. The original tune is barely
discernible underneath the heavy beat and the chorus which moans repetitively, "She wasafraid to come out of the water." The novelty of disco-fying such a quintessential rock song
could make this release the surprise hit at discos this summer. Time: (A) 6:13 and (B) 4:30.

WHAT'S IN-STORE-

It has been quite a long time since so much optimism has emanated fromJUNE BOOM
the retail end of the business. Nearly all reporting accounts this week had some positive
comment to make on the deluge of new releases that has just hit the market. Every label
seems to be drawing out at least one big gun during this first summer month. 18 new releases were added to the Cash Box Top 200 LP chart this week, and five out of the six highest debut album releases carried an 8.98 list. Happy sales to you.
Someone donated 10,000 copies of "The Many Faces Of Greek Town" by
GREEK O DDavid Ostin to the L.A. Free Clinic. Some of the records have been dropped off at L.A.
record stores in exchange for a small donation. However, most of the records still remain.
Anyone willing to help the clinic with this "overstock" problem is urged to call Ron Martinez at 653-1822.
A&M Records has announced the dissolution of the position of
A&M REORGANIZING
regional merchandising director. All merchandising efforts will be handled now throughlocal sales and promotional representatives. A&M is making the move in order to concentrate merchandising needs in specific cities rather than just five general regions. Under the
new plan, merchandising materials will now be distributed by the regional sales managers
in association with their local representatives. A&M contends that a local, rather thanregional effort will yield more benefits for all involved in retail, as well as radio.

Although EMI America/UA has recently

described disco as "the pop music of the

In one of the seminar's most eloquent
speeches, Logan Westbrook asserted that"disco to me is a marketing tool. I'm inbusiness to make money; and prior to
disco, black music could not cross over. It
had these names like 'R&B' and 'soul' which
had racial connotations. Along came disco,which was in many cases black music, but
white programmers felt comfortable playing it. As a record company owner, verymuch like the fact that one of my records
may reach more buyers. But what disturbs
me," continued Westbrook, "is the racismthat is again rearing its head in themarketing and promotion picture. In somecircles we now have a separation between

Surviving And Achieving
Jerry Butler capped the seminar by observing, "We've always had to change tosurvive, but there's a difference between
surviving and achieving. Every time a whiteartist is played on a black station, it
becomes that much more difficult for a new
black artist to get exposure, because blackradio is the only place we have to build ourbase from. wouldn't care if Rod Stewart

Disneyland hos:ed a series of festivities June 18 in
TRIBUTES, HONORS & AWARDS
honor of Count Basie's 75th birthday, which actually falls on Aug. 21. Basie, a Disneyland
regular for the past 16 years, was feted by old friends and band members past and present
during an evening that included a private dinner at the park's Hungry Bear restaurant,
tributes by such speakers as Sammy Davis Jr., Quincy Jones, Nat Pierce and the mayor of
Anaheim as well as a fireworks display and concert at the Plaza Gardens ... Inner City wasrecently named jazz label of the year in the Down Beat poll. The three -year -old label has
built a catalog of more than 250 LPs and is active in issuing jazz on several labels (Inner
City, Classic Jazz, Aural Explorer, Guitar World) and in every conceivable style. Inner City
is currently touting the recently released Urszula Dudziak album, "Future Talk," and has
had recent winners with the group Dry Jack and last year's surprise sensation, The Jeff
Lorber Fusion. Nice going, Iry Kratka. .52nd Street becomes Swing Street on June 26 as
the first sidewalk plaques are unveiled. Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday,
Lester Young, and Coleman Hawkinsare the first to be honored. The"Prez" awards issued
last year to these four (and to Kenny Clarke, Roy Eldridge, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk,
Sarah Vaughan, Coleman Hawkins, Stuff Smith and Art Tatum) were the inspiration
behind the plaques, and this year's awards go to Erroll Garner, Fats Waller, Oscar Petti ford, Red Norvo, Ben Webster and Slam Stewart. The actual ceremony gets underway
about noon between Fifth and Sixth avenue near the CBS building ... Friends of the latetrumpeter Blue Mitchell paid respects June 18 at The Village Gate. Among those appearing: Cedar Walton, Milt Jackson, The Heath Brothers, Dexter Gordon, Woody Shaw,Frank Foster, Bill Hardman and Junior Cook.
ON THE ROAD: Ramsey Lewis has an extensive summer schedule, including joint appearances with Johnny Mathis at The Greek Theatre in L.A. (July 5-8); The Garden State Arts
Center in New Jersey (August 6-11); The O'Keefe Center in Toronto (August 13-18) and
The Pinenob Pavillion in Detroit (August 20-23) ... Anita O'Day is headed east for appearances at Newport and Atlantic City and has a new LP, "Mello O' Day,' due from
GNP/Crescendo any day now ... With their latest LP, "Street Life," currently topping theCash Box Jazz chart, MCA recording group the Crusaders will perform at the Kool Jazz
Festival in Hampton, Va. June 29. On the following day the Stix Hooper, Joe Sample,
Wilton Felder -led outfit will appear at the Newport Jazz Festival.
NEW PRODUCTMF Productions has issued several handsome jazz boxes in its American retrospective series. The ones we have seen are multi -record sets of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Earl Hines and Paul Whiteman. The material is either newly
recorded (Hines) or drawn from concert and broadcast performances ... Sine Qua Non, aclassical line up to this point, has jumped into the jazz field with a new line. Bittersweet Jazz.
The thrust of Bittersweet at the present is the catalog of Master Jazz Records, a leading
mainstream label up until recently. The first 30 LPs are from the MJR catalog, but new
product is promised for the future. The label lists for $5.98, whether LP or cassette ... New
from Pausa: Art Van Damme with Joe Pass, Al Cohn with James Moody, Rob McConnel
and the Big Brass and Don Ellis ("Soaring"). All these masters emanate from German based MPS Records.
FESTIVAL SCENE UPDATE
Two jazz festivals now in their third year

CHAIN REACTION
List: 7.98
Producers: Pat Longo and Lincoln Mayorga
Although Pat Longo has only been involved with jazz full-timesince 1974, his 20-year involvement on an informal basis is amply demonstrated in this swinging, big band album ofmainstream as well as pop -flavored jazz selections. Side one isall mainstream with standards like "Sweet Georgia Brown" and"O Sole Mio." Stephanie Caravella delivers sterling vocals in"The Very Thought of You." Side two is pop -oriented with a particularly sassy rendition of "Ease on Down the Road." Longo's.
excursion into disco, "Manhattan Disco," just might break jazz
into dance clubs.

The Ellington material is a film soundtrack from 1962 with thefull band, while the Hodges is small band from 1964. Solid performances from all concerned, especially by Johnny Hodges
and Paul Gonsalves (who is on both sessions). The Hodges
tracks were on Onyx previously, but the Duke is new to LP andquite good!

Norman Schwartz
List: 7.98
Stunning piano work here. Arabian -flavored "Tandoori" ismysteriously satisfying and the cut "Sunrise" is not to be missed. Miles gives the term "fusion" a unique new interpretation
with this LP. A member of the musicians union since he wasnine, Miles began playing in clubs when he was 13 and hasn't
stopped growing musically since. Bassist John Burr's performance more than meets the demands of the complicatedarrangements.

BROWNE SUGAR
List: 7.98
Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen
The undiluted excellence of this debut album by New Yorker
Tom Browne guarantees that many more will follow. Only 24 years old, the virtuoso trumpet player was discovered by
George Benson. Electric piano and synthesizer play off eachother to great effect on several tracks. Serenity of "Herbal
Scent" makes the cut a pleasure to listen to.

Bob Wilbur/Buddy Tate

A couple of doubling, mainstream horn players from different
parts of town get together with a pair of bebop rhythm men to
make music. Results: a very fine LP that shows everyone off
quite well. Tate is especially impressive on baritone and Wilbur
on alto, but there are few dull moments here. A nice job all
around.

Stephen Metz and Joseph Rapp, gave consumers the chance to spend an entire day
at the Coliseum for $5 to view "everythingthat in any way pertains to the disco
phenomenon," according to Metz. Special
four -day tickets were made available for$15 and sold through record retail outlets inthe tri -state area.
Some of the highlights of the exposition
included disco fashion shows, beauty andmakeup seminars, and displays of stereo
and in -home lighting, paraphernalia, as
well as the latest in audio, video, photo, andcamera equipment. Live entertainment wasprovided by such artists as Machine,
Brainstorm, Wardell Piper, Carol Douglas,
The Bombers, Taana Gardner, Crown
Heights Affair, Loleatta Hollaway, Mantas,
Bionic Boogie, and Platinum Hook.
Two of New York's premier disco stations. WKTU and WBLS, played major rolesin the proceedings. Each station arranged
to have their own air personalities at theirexhibition booths to talk with people andsign autographs. Paco of WKTU hosted all

the major activities throughout theweekend. WKTU's booth was constructed
on a 20'x24' stage that was utilized as a
disco roller rink, dance floor and stage forthe performing artists.
Top charted disco LPs and 12 -inch
singles for sale were also on display
through the auspices of Korvettes, which
was the only record retailer at the exposition. The chain brought in 5 stepdowns anda variety of merchandising aids to promote
disco product by such artists as the Village
People, Donna Summer, and the Bee Gees.
Prices were consistent with the chain's
store prices for the week, with sale prices
for 12 -inch disco discs ranging from $2.49
to $3.99, and with $7.98 and $8.98 list
product on sale for $4.49 and $5.99,
respectively. The chain occupied some 400of the 80,000 square -feet devoted to the event.
David Rothfeld, divisional vice presidentof merchandise for Korvettes, told CashBox, "This was the first time an event likethis was ever held, and we felt it was important that we be a part of it. We came here toshow our support for this kind of endeavor,
and hopefully the success of the event will
inspire other expositions in other areas."
Other promotions used by Korvettes included autograph sessions with some of
the artists that entertained the public overthe four days and nights.

they had Stylistics records that Thom Bellwas producing, gradually started making
inroads into black radio and began picking
up more accounts."
Ray formally began the TAR operation in
1975, and, within a year, was working 26
records on the R&B Top 100. "I started TAR
as a local west coast operation," recalls
Ray. "And frankly, it wasn't that difficult
breaking in; there was literally no independent who was specializing in black promotion ..."
Yet Ray did not reach what he felt to be
the turning point in TAR's operation until hebroke a couple of white records black, including Player's "Baby Come Back" andAndy Gibbs' "Let Me Be Your Everything.""The Andy Gibb record was sent with a picture sleeve," recalls Ray," and before serviced the record
had 30,000 of thosesleeves pulled off. It wasn't until that record
was Top 50 R&B that anyone associatedhim as one of the Gibb brothers. But you
can't build an image in any market unlessthere's a consistent follow-through," adds
Ray. "Andy Gibb was ideal for us because
he followed with 'Shadow Dancing,' which
was right in the same solid groove, but with
Player there was nothing from the rest of
their material that had any kind of blackmusic appeal."
Ironically, Ray perceives that the resentment towards him has grown along with his
reputation for breaking records R&B. "Ifight the problem every day," says Ray.
"Instead of welcoming TAR, they get mad.
The resistance is especially strong among
special marketing people. But wish they'drealize that we're all looking for the samethings, namely, to establish an artist and getbilling.
"There is one point that would especially like to make clear," adds Ray. "Thisorganization couldn't happen without mypromotion team. Of my 19 employees, 16

mail every record offered to me to all mystaff, and if two-thirds of them say 'forget it,'then I'll forget it." Ray especially points to
Tony Price, Gregory Johnson and Bob
Collins, who head up TAR's southwest,
South, and Cleveland offices, respectively,
as people who contribute immeasurably to
TAR's success.
"All you have to do is stick up for what
you love," concludes Ray." And for me thatapplies to my people and to black music.
Eventually would like to make the transition from having the best black promotion
company in the world to the best blackrecord company in the world."

the new Slick 12" "Sexy Cream." Fantasy's Nat Freedland describes the song as "early
Donna Summer." The lyrics are also reminiscent of Summer's orgasmic "Love to Love
You, Baby," but this time around the romance centers on a full body rubdown with "sexycream" lotion. To promote the single, which will soon be followed by an album, Fantasy is
distributing a skin care lotion, "Sexy Cream," named after the release. Runner-up honors
go to Motown for the flashlight it enclosed along with Mira Water's 12" "You Have Inspired

Andrea Brochfeld
Producer: Joe Madera
Andrea Brochfeld is a flautist who excels time and again in
her debut for Latina Records. Andrea is no newcomer to theLatin music scene; she was part of Charanga 76 for sometimeand freelanced with top orchestras before going on her own. In
this package she is backed by a strong horn and string section.
Honorable mention goes to Barry Rogers for his trombone
solos. The arrangements and production of this album aresuperb. The best cuts are "Chandange," "Quisera," "Si Se
Acabe El Mundo," "No Me Abandone," "Aqui Estoy Yo" and"Tuna Mas."
Arturo Campa

CHARAN SOUL
Producer: Miguel EstIvll
Charan Soul is the name of this swinging modern Charanga
Orchestra. Usually a charanga band is in the bag of Cuban
sounds, but here they demonstrate their modernistic soundswith violins and flute and chorus backgrounds. Special recognition goes to the piano player and rhythm section. Each cut is a
gem in its own right. With good promotion it should go to thetop.

nando Arbex
Multi -talented singer Miguel Bose has reached the peak of
his career with this oustanding album of love songs. Bose himself contributed three compositions to this album, on which heexcels in English and Spanish. The recording was done inEurope. Most of the arrangements take on a rock feel to his styleof singing. All nine cuts are excellent. The cut "Anna" could be
the sleeper on a crossover in the states.

(Musart 1735)"Urban Ensemble, The Music" of Roland
Vazquez features seven Vazquez compositions and includes musicians like Dave
Grusin on synthesizers, Jim Colle on saxophone, Patrice Rushen on piano, Ralf
Rickert on trumpet, Ken Wild on bass,
Larry Williams on keyboard and leader
Vazquez on drums.
The idea for the Urban Ensemble wasironically born in Utah. The California

native describes the concept like this:"There are a lot of specific things happening in the music; like jazz, funk and latinrhythms ... band ensemble sections ..
and solo playing. The music can besophisticated and complex and still be improvised on as well as have feeling. Feelingis what makes the music communicate.
Balance is the key word."
Roland realized he wanted to be a musician on his twelfth birthday when he saw
Mongo Santamarla at the Lighthouse. Playing with Mongo's band at the same time
were Hubert Laws, Bobby Capers andCarmelo Garcia, and as Roland tells it, "I
saw a whole room full of people just grooving." But being around music was not a newexperience for Roland. He had grown up in
a musical environment from the beginning
his sister was a blues singer and hadgone on the road with Lightnin' Hopkins. At
home the jazz station was always on.
Roland worked as a dishwasher to savemoney for his first drum set, proceeded toteach himself and began playing with rockgroups to make money.
Vazquez then suffered a temporary setback with a motorcycle accident and wasconfined in the hospital for a long period oftime. But he looks at it philosophically: "Itwas the biggest thing that happened in mylife to get me really focused in terms ofwriting music." So Roland spent eightweeks with a harmony teacher who ended
up telling him. "Listen, get out of here. Until
you start writing, there's nothing more I canteach you."At this point Vazquez went back to workwith some friends from East Los Angeles
who flew him to Las Vegas to do an audition
which resulted in his first professional
writing assignment. But Vegas didn't agreewith Roland. He felt that people were moreconcerned with dress than creativity. The
turning point came one night in 1971 when
Roland happened to go up to a club in
Sacramento. Weather Report was playing
and he realized this was the combination ofwriting and improvisation that was the
future.
In 1977 Vazquez applied for a grant fromthe National Endowment for the Arts. The
application was accepted and Vazquez
played in eleven cities. This was a very
it was his
special moment for Roland
music, his band, his concept and theaudience reaction was great.
.

Roland Vazquez
The next step was sending demos tovarious record companies, but at this pointa contract eluded him. Once again, Roland
kept a level head throughout this difficult
period. "I thought, you fool. Here you havethis music and you're just worried about themeans of getting it out there. Most guys
have the means and don't have the music.
So be grateful." As fate would have it, heheard an Earl Klugh album and was so impressed with the clarity of the production
and the musicianship that he submitted atape to producers Dave Grusin and Larry
Rosen. The music hit them immediately.
Grusin and Rosen had just started theirown record label and Roland and the Urban
Ensemble found a home.
The works of Vilma Maldonado Reyes
will be exhibited in the AHA Gallery at 200 E.
87th St. from June 15 -July 6. This exhibition
is in collaboration with Taller Boricua. The
theme of this exhibit of drawings andpaintings is the continual search for the internal, the wild imagination of the artist,
which makes our eyes stop at a certain
point that gradually unfolds into limitlesspossibilities.
Vilma was born and raised in Hato Rey,
Puerto Rico. She studied at the Universityof Puerto Rico, San Juan's Art Student
League and the Alacran Workshop given by
Antonio Martorell. She was also involved
for six years in the theatre and was a member of the Colectivo Nacional de Teatro.
Vilma completed her graduate studies at
N.Y.U. in 1977; and at present works at El
Museo del Barrio as a museum educator.

TORONTO
More rock fans exist in
Toronto than many think. Witness the fullhouse crowds for the Cheap Trick/Graham
Parker bill (15,000) at the Gardens June 12,
while AC/DC and UFO packed Massey Hall
(27,000), and Prism drew close to 15,000 at
Ontario Place. Disaster struck the nextnight for Parker at his El Mocambo gig. The
p.a. conked out four times during a live
CHUM -FM broadcast, and took the steamout of what had begun as the hottest clubdate this year in the city.
Summer concert activity is bright. The

way to a sellout. The band has been a consistent superdraw here since 1975. If all the
ducats go, it will break the record for attendance at artist appearances in this market.
Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen prefaced his
visit to Canada with some sessionwork at
Todd Rundgren's Utopia studios. "I want tobe the Bob Hope of the '80s," he told CashBox, adding he wants to do some charitable
work of goodwill. With such a disposition,
he'd be the ideal rock and roll ambassador... Capitol has repressed the Domenic
Trolano album, with a long version of his
disco single, "We All Need Love."
The Cars were in to play the Gardens
June 14, the same day their second disc,"Candy -O" was issued in the country.
Guitarist Elliot Easton, chatting after theshow, told Cash Box, "We're looking
towards having two Top 20 albums at thesame time. Just a year ago, never could
have expected all this success."
Keyboardist Greg Hawkes dashed out
the line of the night at the post -gig platinum
album presentations (the first disc is now
well past doublt. platinum in Canada).

CBS Canada Tries New `Bag'
Wrap To Fight Disc Warpage
by Kirk LaPointe-

In an effort to curtail album
TORONTO
warpage due to shrink wrap, estimated tocomprise 65% of all returns to the company, CBS has reverted to a "bag -type"packaging method in Canada. Alex Martorino, director of quality control for CBS
Records Canada Ltd., told Cash Box he expects the recent switch in modes of album
packaging to dramatically reduce the number of returns to the company this year.

Martorino, whose efforts were instrumental in devising the "old, new"means of album wrapping, said the company's manufacturing plant in Toronto will
use the bag -type system for all product byAugust 1. He also expected all CBS custom
pressing work for other companies toadopt the new packaging system.
"At first, it was difficult to sell," he said of
the wrapping process. The marketing staff
were particularly concerned about theaesthetics of it (the loose wrap).
Cosmetically, the new bag is not very goodto look at. It obscures the album art a little.
But after we redesigned the package, andresubmitted it in January, the marketing
staff decided it was a worthwhile gamble totake."As a result, Martorino said he is alreadyhearing positive feedback from retailers
and consumers alike. While it's too early totell, Martorino said the reduction in returns
will be "substantial, right away. agree, thealbums may not look great on the racks. But
we're not selling any more warped albums.
He said almost all album warpage iscaused by excessive shrink wrapping,I

coupled with fluctuating temperatures inshipping. "We were faced with the problem.
We had to decide whether to air-condition
all the trucks we use to ship product, orcome up with a new package."
At present, one of CBS' four packaging
machines are equipped to use bags. The
company plans to revamp the other threemachines shortly. "We started ex-

perimenting with the Aquitaine product (thecompany's Canadian classical label). We
got such good initial response, we decided
to try some pop product under the newprocess. There's no doubt other companies will be doing this soon. It saves us
thousands each year in warpage returns."
Capitol EMI, the other prime manufacturing outfit in Canada, recently bag -typed
the second Kate Bush album, "Lionheart"(as yet unissued in the U.S.), because it wasa double pocket disc with embossed cover
lettering.
"For storage purposes and boxing purposes, the new system is better," Martorino
said. "There isn't any air trapped in thealbum, and it is much easier to box. The
records are also easier to handle. They
aren't as slippery."He also asserted that, aside from the costof upgrading machinery, there is no added
cost to bag -type processing.
He concluded, "No doubt it will help us
regain a reputation we once had. Lately,
there's been some adverse reaction toalbum pressings. Consumers feel they're
being shortchanged. I think something likethis shows we care about putting out
qualitative materials in the marketplace.
We stand to gain from it."

COIN MACHINEGTB Cancels Planned 1980
International Coin Olympics-

Games Tournament Board
NEW YORK
has cancelled its 1980 International Coin
Olympics, which was originally scheduled
to take place in New Orleans next February,
according to an announcement from GTB

president Millie McCarthy. The decision,
she said, is based on an upcoming national
pinball tournament being put on by a groupof major manufacturers.
"There is no question in my mind that two
national coin -op tournaments in 1980 will
only take away from each other," Millie
noted. "From calls I've been getting,realize there is confusion already as towhich is which.
"In the interests of all concerned, we(GTB) will work in harmony with the
pingame manufacturers in their efforts,"
she continued, noting that the group is conducting a feasibility study to determine thebest way to run the tournament. "Perhaps
they will think of the GTB efforts as phase
one of the study. Our program has beenlong in the planning, with industry -wide
cooperation, and we were on our way to
New Orleans when the manufacturers' plan
was announced. Of course it is very timely
to capture the excitement of the 1980 Olympics year in coin -operated sports as well."Tournament headquarters spokesman
Jim Ferguson noted that monies that had
been collected have already been refunded. "Those who still have tournament kits
will please return them to Tournament
Headquarters, Inc.," he said, stressing thatgroups like Sefco Distributors who had
special printings done should hold on tomaterials until contacted. "Instructions,manuals, and other undated materials canbe salvaged for another time or for local
tournaments," Ferguson noted.
Games Tournament Board will continue
to act as a clearinghouse of information andideas for those interested in promoting-

Cinematr.-'ics of El Ca ¡on, California recently purchased Vector beam Inc. of Union City, California for an
undisclosed sum.

Along with Vectorbeam's manufacturing
plant, Cinematronics has acquired thecomplete patent rights to the Vectorbeam
system. Even though Vectorbeam is now asubsidiary of Cinematronics, both facilities
will continue to operate independently.
Tom Stroud Jr., formerly vice president
of marketing for Cinematronics, has
become president of Vectorbeam as thecompany's president, Paul Jacobs,
resigned shortly after the merger took
place. Gil Levine will retain the position ofgeneral manager for the company. Additionally, Lenore Sayers, a former AtariI

employee, will become Vectorbeam's sales
manager as of July 2.
New Appointment
As marketing, accounting, research anddevelopment and administrative positions
will be separate at each facility, Jim Pierce
and Dave Stroud will remain in theirrespective positions as vice president andsales manager at Cinematronics. In one
new staff appointment at Cinematronics in
El Cajon, Pat Adler, formerly in accounts
receivable, has been upped to the positionof marketing administrator.

Amusements, Box 204, Hurleyville, NewYork 12747.

Sport Concept"We still strongly believe that our fourand a half year old concept to elevate allcoin -operated games to national recognition as sports is a good concept," McCarthy
stated. "I hope the 'powers' will band
together in that effort. The GTB program isready and on the table. To the tournament
directors across the country who were anticipating exciting and profitable jobs, tothe many players who were eager for local
and regional tournaments to get underway,
and to those who believe the time is now forcoin -op games to be recognized, say don'tlose heart
and keep in touch."-I`Pinball Pool' Is The New 4 -Player
Solid State Flipper From Gottlieb-

CHICAGO"Pinball devotees who contin- release of Gottlieb's new four -player solidually look for a new twist or variation in state game.
classical American flippers are going to"This is a dyed-in-the-wool original new
experience a feeling of exhilaration the first version of a theme that pinball enthusiasts
time they try Gottlieb's 'Pinball Pool'," com- never seem to tire of," he continued. "Themented the company's marketing vice game features no less than 14 separate
president Tom Herrick, in announcing the drop targets, each representing one poolball and bonus is built up by knocking down
the targets."
Pinball Pool has a unique new feature:
two sets of parallel drop targets line eachside of the game. In a three -ball mode, if aplayer knocks down one of the drop targets
the corresponding target on the other sideof the game also drops. Shooting for the
kickout holes (one each in the two far
corners) is also a key to high scoring.
'Captive Ball' Feature
Another focal point of the game, according to Herrick, is a "captive ball" 8 -ballwhich occupies center stage and offers theplayer both the reward of accomplishing aninteresting skill shot as well as building
bonus. Also, two outside bottom rollovers
give the player the additional opportunity toadvance the bonus. Other variations inscoring include lighting the captive ball bymaking the A -B -C top rollovers which rewards the player with an extra ball.
"All in all," Herrick concluded, "PinballPool is the type of fast action, knock -em down, light -em -up game that has characterized many memorable Gottlieb theme
games based on pool and billiards. This
one with its splashy and unique backglassand classic arrangement of pinball eleand earlyments will rank with the best

The new model is available through'Pinball Pool'

COIN MACHINECHICAGO CHATTEREASTERN FLASHES

Williams Electronics, Inc. hosted its first "accent on achievement" conference the weekendof June 9 at the Lincolnshire Marriott. The two-day event provided the opportunity for key
personnel to get together on an informal basis to discuss company plans, present andfuture. In addition, there was time spent on social functions like the Saturday night banquet
honoring those individuals who contributed most significantly to Williams' success; andsuch recreational activities as golf, tennis and a Williams Volley Ball Tournament which turned out to be one of the highlights of the weekend. As we learned from Ron Crouse, Jack
Mittel's team really excelled in this category ... A few days following the big event a new
production record was set at the factory when "Flash" became the all-time best selling pin,surpassing the historic "Space Mission" by a considerable margin! Flash is still goingstrong, Ron said, and is expected to continue at this fantastic pace for several more weeks.
MIDWAY's DIRECTOR OF SALES Larry Berke announced that the factory will close forvacation the weeks of July 23 and July 30, with production resuming on Monday, August 6.
Further"We're still delivering and will continue to deliver Space Invaders up to vacationtime"
and who knows, even beyond that, at the rate this game just "keeps on going." Incidentally, the glowing reports also apply to the cocktail table version, which is racking up a
lot of sales ... Service manager Andy Ducay was enroute to South Dakota at presstime to
conduct a Midway service school for J-Mak Distributing Co. in Deadwood.
CURRENTLY IN DELIVERY at D. Gottlieb & Co. is the firm's latest model "Pinball Pool"
which has tested out like a winner.
DATELINE MINNEAPOLIS, home of Hanson Dist. where, as noted by company exec
Kirk McKennon, another customer service was recently initiated; namely, the installationof two watts lines 1 (800) 352-2780 for use in Minnesota only and the other 1-800-328-2964
for out of state. Might mention also that the distrib's frequently published house organ,
which we had an opportunity to leaf through, is very informative
especially the service

Sid Gordon, who heads up the newly established Bally Northeast branch in Albany, notesthat he has "a sleeper" on his hands in the Bally "Supersonic" pingame which ops report isa high income piece. Also in the pin department, Williams' "Flash" is still "very hot" andBally's "Star Trek" is also a big seller. Being a good market for shuffle alleys, as Sid pointed
out, the Albany branch has lots of orders for the new "Taurus." On June 14 the distrib sponsored an Automatic Products service school. Commenting on Seeburg phono sales, Sid
observed that "it seems like the time is here for operators to start re -cycling ,theirphonographs and one play for a quarter, three plays for a half, seven plays for a dollar appears to be the answer for stimulating earnings. We've had many reports of higher collections from operators who are using this pricing structure." Salesman Rick Kirby, formerlyof the Dedham branch, recently tranferred out to Albany and is quite enthusiastic about his
new territory.
CLEVELAND COIN -COLUMBUS is just about wrapping up the summer buying season
on a very happy note, as we learned from Stanley Knoll. Current equipment in the
spotlight out there includes Gremlin's "Head On", described as "one of those grabbers"
that, once you start playing it, just won't let you go. Also, Atari's "Basketball." Of this, Stan
said sales could possibly exceed "Football," which is quite an accomplishment. The gameis "simpler to play, yet very challenging" and has winner written all over it, he added. Newly
arrived at Cleveland Coin, and "looking very good" is Allied's "Clay Champ." To further
quote Stan, "Williams 'Flash' has been the biggest selling pinball in our history and could
very likely be the highest earning pinball ever produced."

CALIFORNIA CLIPPINGSJack Sutton of Rowe International in San Francisco is looking forward to a fantastic summer season, as his new test facility in the Fisherman's Wharf area is now open. The arcade
is run in conjunction with the San Francisco Wax Museum. The Museum's walkway runs
right into the facility, which features only video games. "We're going to feature videos thatare either prototype or current," said Sutton. The facility will feature one pingame, Atari'sgigantic "Hercules." After having been in renovation for the past eight months, the arcade
is now open for this summer's tourist trade.
OSCAR ROBINS OF PORTALE AUTOMATIC SALES says that although the distrib has
been running behind in orders, it is starting to get more of a steady flow of product. Robins
seemed excited about Gottlieb's new wide body, "Genie." "The Machine plays extremely
well and has a great pinball layout," mentioned Robins. "It also is unusual in that it has two
sounds and five flippers." Robins added that since Portale has been distributing Tornado's
foosball game it has become a big mover. Portale is the first company to distribute Tornado. In other Portale sales action, Robins stated that Stern's "Hot Hand" and Atari's"Baseball" are fairing well.
EXIDY'S Lila Zinter said that the company is in the midst of getting out its first productionof its new video, "Crash." The manufacturer is still taking orders and shipping "Starfire,"
but it will not move to its new headquarters for another two weeks. Exidy has tentatively
scheduled an open house for its new Sunnyvale building in August.
C.A. ROBINSON'S GIGANTIC USED machine sale brought customers from all over
California to the distrib, according to Hank Tronick. He offered that not only was old inventory reduced, but the sale also stimulated sales activity of new product. Tronick ended abrief conversation by saying that one of the favorite attractions at Knott's Berry Farm is
Atari's "Hercules."GISHBOX-

WEA Raises Wholesale Album Prices 3%; Singles Also Up(continued from page 7)

product and $4.62 for $8.98 list LPs. For
retailers, the base price (for volume under$22,500) will be $4.52 for $7.98 list productand $5.08 for $8.98s, with discounts up to
7% for dealers handling more than $250,000, which works out to a low price of $4.20
for $7.98 and $4.72 for $8.98.
Merchandiser Reaction"I don't like it," says Chris Stewart, vicepresident/retail sales of the southeastern
Record Bar chain in reaction to the WEA
announcement. "We've got increased costs
too and now we're caught in the middle. We
want WEA to know we're not pleased.
"We haven't decided what to do, because
this is a difficult increase to pass on to theconsumer. We're considering no WEA
sales, raising all prices or using different
shelf prices according to label. Now we've
got to look at changing our policy of sticking
with $5.99 or $6.99 or $7.99 prices andmaybe go to $7.19 or $8.19.
"What really bothers us," continues
Stewart, "is that they've already broken thebarrier of selling to us at 50% of list and now
they've compounded it with this move.
We've got to have a profit margin to workwith."
A number of accounts also noted that the
new wholesale price may force them toabandon the $.99 ending on prices, butsome saw a silver lining to the dark cloud.
"This is going to force a lot of people overbarriers like the $6 barrier," says Bruce
Chisolm, vice president of Downpour Distributing, a Portland -based one -stop serving the Pacific northwest up to Alaska. "But
if the economy can bear it, it may help
retailers by enabling them to go to $6.29 or$6.59 or whatever.
"But it does seem strange that WEA
needs to make this move," adds Chisolm.
"They're 38% of our market right now andthey already seem to spend less money on
promotion than the other majors. But who
can stop them?
certainly can't survive
I

without their product."
To Terry Worrell, owner of the Dallas based Sound Warehouse wholesaler/retailer operation, the fact that WEA is the firstto raise prices this year comes as no surprise.
"In my six years in the business, every
price increase has been instituted by WEA
first," notes Worrell. "The first $6.98 list LP
was 'Court And Spark,' the first $7.98 was'Night At The Opera' and the first $8.98 was'A Wild And Crazy Guy.' And it's been thesame with wholesale price increases.
"They had a great first quarter, so maybe

this means they don't operate theirbusiness right. What they'll probably do is
get this increase then raise everything to$8.98 in a couple of months anyway. My
guess is that we'll see $8.98 across theboard this year, so I'd rather see more
$8.98s now than have them hurt our
margins this way. This kind of price hike-wreaks havoc with our pricing structure."
In the meantime, Worrell plans to put as
few WEA products on sale as possible, andthen put them at $4.99 instead of theregular sale price of $4.77. And he intends
to try and repay the companies that hold theline on prices and give Sound Warehousepromotional and advertising support.
New York
Disc -O -Mat, which operates five storesin New York City, now prices $7.98 list LPs
at $4.49 and $8.98s at $4.99. According toAllen Bailey, Disc -O -Mat general manager,
his company will not be able to hold its priceline for more than a short time in light of the
WEA increase.
"Either we will absorb the increases for awhile and wait and see what the other companies will do, or we may institute a different price structure just for WEA goods,"
says Bailey. "If we feel the other companies
are going to go up as well, we will probably
make a universal price change.
"But if WEA is the only company thatraises its price, we may single them out andeven publicize the fact that they have gone
up in price to give the customer an awareness of the situation."
Bailey adds that he has received no indication that other companies will follow
suit and terms the WEA increase "Outrageous."
Dave Rothfeld, vice president of record
merchandising for Korvette's, says he appreciates WEA's right to adjust its
wholesale prices, "but when we have to, wewill adjust our prices on specific titles. We
do anticipate a change in our retail prices
for WEA productbut not immediately."
Many WEA customers expressed an understanding of the inflationary pressuresthat WEA blamed for its price increases.
"We're upset with the increase as wewould be with any price increase," reports
David Kastens, vice president of sales andpromotion for Nehi Record Distributing, theparent company of the nationwide Peaches
retail chain. "But considering there hasn't
been a price increase in 18 months and theraise is only 3%, you really can't complain
too heavily about it. Even though it hurts our
profit margins, it does seem justifiable."
Russ Solomon, president of the
Sacramento -based Tower Records chain,says he doesn't like the price hike, but hesees a possible bright side to the move.
Pass The Goodies"If they pass some goodies back to thedealers in other forms, this might not besuch a bad thing," comments Solomon.
"We're hoping that the net result will be additional programs, advertising support andincreased promotion that will be passed
back to us to sell more records.
"We will be making price adjustments,
however. just don't know whether it'll bejust WEA product or everything."
Inner Sanctum Records, the Austin based southwestern chain, hopes to be-I

RSO STRIKES AGAIN
Darth Vader showed up at the PolyGram managing directors
meeting in Florida last week to announce that RSO Records will release the soundtrack to"The Empire Strikes Back" (the sequel to "Star Wars") in 1980. Pictured (l -r) are: Al Coury,
president of RSO; Dr. Werner Vogelsang, vice president of PolyGram Group; Dr. Hermann

able to hold prices at current levels, but
manager/buyer Steven Goodwin indicatesthat won't be possible if another major
follows WEA with a similar raise in prices.
"If CBS jacks up their prices too, we willprobably have to go with 50 cent jumps inalbum and tape prices," says Goodwin.
"And with the record business seemingly
getting softer, this is going to mean fewer
new artist releases will be sold."
Jim Bunk, executive vice president ofStark Records and Tape Service, themidwestern-based wholesaler/retailer operating the Camelot Music chain, expects
other manufacturers to follow WEA's lead.
"I don't know how much our album prices
will have to go up if the other companies
raise prices too," says Bunk, "but the pricehike will probably spell the end of WEA's 99
cent singles."Bunk also suggests that perhaps thetime has come for labels to "take a hardlook at these high priced contracts theygive artists."
Harold Okinow, president of Lieberman
Enterprises, the nation's third largest rackjobber, agrees with Bunk's assessment.

Sports Analogy"We seem to be getting into the same
trap that major league sports are in,"Okinow comments. "With such crazybidding for the superstars, consumers arehaving to pay higher and higher prices forentertainment. At a certain point, the consumer will be forced to make a decision onwhether he can buy records or not.

Sometimes it seems like we are getting totha point."
Okinow says Lieberman will have to passon the price increases, but he adds that heoften doesn't see any effect from increased
prices. "When product is out that tempts
the public, the price doesn't seem to matter. On the other hand, if the consumers
don't like the record, it won't sell at $2.99,"
he says.
A spokesman for Pickwick International,

the nation's largest rack operation, issued
the following statement on the WEA move.
"As a company, we're not pleased with aprice increase coming at this time, but
we've not had a chance to assess it anddecide what course of action ours mightbe."
Most accounts are expected to make extra buys of WEA product before June 25
when the new prices go into effect.
"We'll be buying real heavy until it goes
into effect," says Tom Keenan, president of
the Portland -based Everybody's Records
chain. "We want to try and hold prices down
as long as possible, because if CBS joins
WEA we're going to have to raise shelf

prices."Sound Warehouse's Worrell says he's
heard that CBS is going to follow WEA's
lead soon. "But someday," Worrell hopes,"everyone won't follow WEA's lead and it's
going to hurt WEA. But in the past everyone
always has."
WEA executives declined to comment on
the wholesale price changes and thecompany had no official statement.

JEM Sets Up Its Own FARM
(continued from page 271-

Islandtract with Warner Bros. and Island
worldwide and Warner Bros. in the U.S. andCanada. Chris Blackwell's producing them,and they have the potential to become avery big band."Scott noted that it is becoming increasingly expensive for a record company
to break a new act. Costs are rising for advertising, merchandising, promotion andtour support. But, without making a large
initial investment beyond the production
stage, he said, a label can use the JEM
FARM Team to generate a buzz on arecord.
Scott stressed that "every single FARMTeam contract is unique, because it fills aneed-for a company or an act. There's nobasic standard form to the FARM Team. It's
geared to allow everything from a manager
to a major label to utilize it, without feelingthey're compromising.
"The FARM Team is set up in a way that amajor does not feel that they have to go to a
JEM to get something accomplished, likeit's downgrading to the act. The idea is that
the FARM Team will be so strong in what it
does that an act will fell secure, knowingthat it's going to the FARM Team, that it will
get a better boost from day one than if itwent through the major initially."
Of course, Scott emphasized, thecontract -holding label will still have to takeover after JEM has laid the groundwork foran album's success. "At that level, therecord has sold enough copies to begenerating advertising dollars that can be
put back into it to launch the album on amuch wider scale."
How does Scott feel about losing analbum that JEM has worked hard on, just as
it's beginning to break? "I'm going to feelvery good because that is going to solidify
our position in the record industry," hereplied. "And it's become very, very apparent that JEM Records performs a service to the rest of the industry that is totallyunique, that's totally beneficial and that has
to be sustained. Because, with every act webreak, we're saving somebody a hell of a lotof money."At the same time, Scott added, JEM will
not be left out of the success of any record

they work on. "We feel we should participate somewhat in a record's success if
we helped break it," he stated. That "participation," he added, will probably take theform of some kind of override on future
album sales.
De -Emphasis On Promotion
Scott doesn't believe that JEM's lack of
local promotion men will hurt its FARM
Team. "We've never had a large promotion
staff," he explained. "What we've had iscredibilityon the street, within the industry, etc.... Our release sheet is almost
like a trade. People look at it and say, 'Hey,
JEM is bringing in this record, we better see
what it sounds like.' We don't really have topromote records locally because of thenature of what we're doing."
At least for the balance of this year, JEM
intends to be very selective about the projects they take on for the FARM Team. After
that, Scott indicated, they hope to expand
the operation more quickly.
One consideration slowing down
development of the FARM Team is the factthat JEM is undergoing a process ofphysical expansion. The company's west
coast warehouse has just been moved to a
new space in Reseda, California, and theeast coast offices and warehouse are being-

expanded. Meanwhile, JEM's dataprocessing facilities on both coasts are being updated to accommodate new tracking
requirements.
At present, Scott said, JEM has thecapability to track, not only its complex import shipments, but sales of independent
distributors on a weekly basis. Eventually,
FARM Team and PVC product will be

tracked geographically in 25 different
markets. In addition, said Scott, there willbe "a readout of approximately 200 storeson a selected title as to what they are sell-ing."
In conclusion, Scott stressed the fact that
JEM can't afford to "hype" a new act withthe massive advertising and merchandising blitz that a major label will typicallylaunch. "But what we can do is lend ourcredibility and our status in terms of thepast eight years (as an importer). When wefind something that we feel is important, we
can make it happen."
