Needletime talks reach crunch pointCOMMERCIAL RADIO stations aredue for a crunch meeting overneedletime this week while rela-tions between the BBC and PublicPerformance Limited have reacheda state of flux.

PPL will meet the Association ofIndependent Radio Contractors onThursday in another attempt toreach an agreement overneedletime payments.

PPL chairman John Brooks be-

lieves progress is on the cards. "Iam confident that one way or an-other progress will be made," hesays.

AIRC director Brian West says heis pleased the two sides are talkingbut is not so hopeful. "The startingpoint will be to see whether thereis any modification in people'sthinking. I am not wildly optimistic,"he says.

Brooks says PPL has already

come to an agreement with theBBC which he claims is virtually un-changed from the previous agree-ment which ran out at the end ofAugust.

But circumstances surroundingthe agreement are a little less clear.It is believed to have been set fora limited period only and a BBCspokeswoman says: "At the mo-ment the situation is not resolvedand it is status quo."

Bar code wand spellsretailing revolutionTHE CULMINATION of 12 yearsof work on bar codes arrives nextmonth when all Gallup's chart re-turn stores will be directly inputtingdata with code -reading wands.

The wands are currently beingused on an experimental basis in15 shops but will be issued to allappropriate retailers in time for the

October start-up date.The move is aimed at easing the

burden on counter staff as well asproviding more accurate researchand assisting computerised stockcontrol. From October, shop staffwill no longer have to manually logsales on the keyboard of an Epsoncomputer, but will simply scan the

WAVING HELLO to the wand: all Gallup's chart return stores will directlyinput data with the bar code readers

bar code on the record's sleevewith the wand.

The impetus for the introductionof wands has come from the retailsector but it is an innovation thatis also finding favour with the rec-ord companies. BPI general man-ager Peter Scaping comments:'We first had talks on this with WH Smith back in 1976 or so andwe know there are considerablebenefits for record companies. Notthe least of the advantages is thebetter research information thatthey will now be able to get andits implications for better distribu-tion and manufacturing."

The vast majority of product cur-rently available is bar coded butsome smaller labels have yet tojoin in. Scaping points out that theywill be at a disadvantage if theydo not take part and he says boththe BPI and Gallup will be happyto offer advice. Entertainment UKis one company that deals withpurely bar coded product.

Labels should contact the organ-isation which issues bar codes, theArticle Number Association at 6Catherine Street, London WC2(01-836 2460), for information.

New strike force leadsK-tel's frontline assaultTV MERCHANDISER K-tel is aim-ing to break into the chart singlesmarket, bolstered by the establish-ment of its own strike force.

The new, 14 -strong team will beon the road from September 27as part of the company's attemptsto augment its TV marketing efforts.

Says managing director SteveDeasey: "With the increasinglycompetitive TV market and the re-duced effectiveness of TV actualspends, we have got to back it upand the best way is with a full strikeforce."

Deasey adds that the strike forcewill be operating on selected prod-

uct. "This is not a scattergun ap-proach," he contends. Third partyaccounts are now being finalisedwith "major record companieswhose strike forces have morethan they can handle."

Among the items they will be

"The days of people pointingcameras at someone playing theflute or the violin are numbered."argues Chappell categorically, al-though he admits that PolyGramClassics' other labels, DeutscheGrammophon and Philips, are tak-ing a more traditional view ofCDV.

"If we are going to be persuad-ing people to spend money, wecannot do it by offering things theywill have seen on TV. They wantsomething with a high productvalue which has a quality of itsown."

Chappell, a film composer anddirector of broad experience, is

convinced that CDV must aim notjust at the classical buff - "whoprobably just want to close theireyes and listen to the music" - butthe TV viewer. 'We must be pre-pared to use new visual techniqueswith flair and panache that willcomplement, not intrude, on theaural experience."

But among the newly filmedworks which should make it in timefor Christmas will be Kiri TeKanawa and Jeremy Irons in Myfair Lady taken from the Albert Hallconcert. Other projects in the pipe-line include Kiri Te Kanawa inCanteloube's Songs of theAuvergne - shot on location.

"Our attitude at Decca is that itis not enough to think of CDV asa gramophone record with pic-tures," concluded Chappell.

New slot for Peelie as

Radio 1 reshufflesRADIO ONE is boosting its servicefor album and CD listeners.

The move comes as part of anew autumn package which alsosees the station's longest serving DJJohn Peel move to a morepromiment mid -evening slot.

One of the station's newest re-cruits, Nicky Campbell, takes overlate nights with a new show ofadult orientated music.

A new two hour show of albumand CD music will be broadcastafter midnight by Richard Skinner.John Peel moves to 8.30pm, Mon-days to Wednesdays, for a twohour show.

Radio One controller JohnnyBeerling comments: 'We are de-lighted to bring John Peel to a slotwhere his particular taste in musicwill reach a wider audience. Wealso have big plans for NickyCampbell in the late night slot

where we will be deliberatelyallowing his irreverent and creativestyle to run riot."

The weekend schedule will alsobe re -vamped. After the departureof Peter Powell the weekendbreakfast show will be under anew format hosted by MarkGoodier and Liz Kershaw.

Dave Lee Travis continues hisSunday morning slot and takesover Saturday mornings from MikeRead. Read moves to Sundayafternoons to host a new quiz bas-ed on the current charts and he willalso continue to present his regularSunday lunchtime oldies show.

CDV's gold run FROM PAGE ONE

Referring to the colour of CDVdiscs he adds: "The path to musicvideo's final acceptance as a main-stream product is paved with goldand that's what they have quicklyrecognised."

The deal was revealed byKempin at the PolyGram group'sannual sales conference, wheresales director Pete Rezon told staff:"Contrary to rumours circulating inthe indstry there are no plans toreduce CD prices in the forseeablefuture."

K-tel FROM PAGE ONEworking on will be chart -orientat-ed singles from K-tel. All the prod-uct will be supplied by the US com-pany.

The first of the UK releases is

Stomp by Masterplan and Deaseysays all the material he is being of-fered falls into the categories ofdance and jazz.

"It's specialist frontline product,"he comments.

Postal strike brings'disaster' to BritanniaTHE UK'S largest music -by -postbusiness has lost £1 m in turnoverthrough the crippling mail dispute.And as the postal service graduallygets back to normal, Bertlesmannand W H Smith are launching theirown mail order service - MusicDirect.

Britannia Music company hasbeen forced to pay off 56 tempor-ary and casual workers - andstaff jobs could soon be on the line.

Managing director JohnNelligan says: "To describe thesituation as a crisis is an understate-ment. It is an absolute disaster. Wehave to consider how long we cancontinue losing money. My guessis that if things do not improvewithin a couple of weeks we willhave to consider lay-offs."

The Ilford -based business runsseven music clubs and has videoand T-shirt interests. Almost 1mpeople subscribe.

Nelligan adds that Britannia wasexploring the possibility of using in-dependent carriers. In the mean-time most of its 186 employees arecarrying out an annual stock check.

Readers Digest also agrees thatthe dispute looks set to bite. Aspokeswoman says: "It is about tobecome very serious from ourpoint of view. We have a substan-tial music division."

She adds that alternativemethods of distribution were al-ready being employed on a smallscale.

Distributors say the dispute is

causing cash -flow problems. Aspokseman for London -basedLightning Distribution says clientswere being urged to carry outtransactions directly through thebanks.

Background musiccomes to the foreSIGNIFICANT CHANGES haveoccurred this week in the normallyplacid library music publishing sec-tor. In what is believed to be aseven figure deal, Zomba MusicPublishing has acquired theChappell Recorded Music Libraryfrom Warner -Chappell.

Meanwhile, Freddie Bienstock'sCarlin Music has recruited formerChappell manager Nick Farries toset up a new background musiccompany. Bienstock was one of thebidders for the Chappell catalogueand has said that he offered 1.7mdollars for the company.

These moves have occurredagainst the background of a swiftly

growing market for backgroundand library music repertoire. Jamesde Wolfe, chairman of the oldestcompany in the field, De WolfeMusic, told Music Week that thecorporate video and local radio in-dustries at home and abroad arebringing in many new clients for hiscompany.

The Zomba acquisition adds tothe company's existing strength inthe background library field.Zomba already owns Bruton Mu-sic, the former ATV subsidiarybought from Michael Jackson in1986, and MD Ralph Simon saysthat his firm is now one of the toptwo worldwide in library music.

Compilation album opensup Russian retail marketTHE RELEASE of a double albumcompilation of western bands onthe Russian market is being seen asa significant breakthrough.

PWL DEMONSTRATED its gratitude to distributor Pinnacle by presentingthe entire sales force with platinum discs of Kylie. Pictured is PWL's TillyRutherford presenting Pinnacle chairman Steve Mason (left)

Cornelia Durrant, project co-ordinator at Greenpeace - whichin collaboration with Soviet statelabel Melodiya Records is releas-ing the album, says GreenpeaceBreakthrough will open for thegates for western releases.

"It will defintely open things up,"she says. "I think.the music industrythere will be very encouraged bythis release and they soonwant to have single albums on sale.

"They are planning to strikedeals with people over here be-cause they feel under pressurefrom market forces in Russia. Theyoung people there certainly wantthe product."

The album is due for simulta-neous release in Moscow and thewest in January, and is expectedto shift 5m copies in the SovietUnion.

The album features previouslyrecorded material by 25 westernacts and proceeds are being divid-ed between Greenpeace and theInternational Foundation for theSurvival of Humanity.

IBA plans 20new stationsTHE INDEPENDENT BroadcastingAuthority has announced that it

would like to license another 20radio stations before the end ofnext year.

The IBA has submitted a set ofplans to the Home Office that willallow more stations to be introduc-ed prior to the new legislation duein the 1990s. It is encouraging thebroadcasting department to ap-prove a series of "incremental con-tracts" which will allow newbroadcasters entry into radio.

"Incremental contracts" will bedifferent from the existing systemalready in operation by the currentlocal radio franchise holders.

Should these new stations beallowed, they will be in areaswhich are already served by inde-pendent radio. Areas currently notcovered will not qualify.

The two types of contract men-tioned are "community of interest"which could be for a specialist mu-sic service, and "neighbourhoodstation". These will be for smallerareas with lower powered trans-mitters.

NEW YORK: Conferences lin-ed -up for the autumn include:Warner Chappell Music - thisweek, at Laguna Beach, Cali-fornia; Concrete Managementand Marketing - the first hardrock/heavy metal convention,in Los Angeles September 30and October 1; AmusementBusiness/Billboard - includ-ing panels on tour and musicsponsorship, in New Orleans,October 2-4; American VideoConference - including musicvideo seminars, Los Angeles,November 9-11; New MusicAmerica - 22 events in total,Miami, December 2-11 and amusic critics conference will beheld in New York on December5-9.

OTTAWA: A Government re-port has warned that freetrade with the US could under-mine the Canadian music in-dustry and claims that the cur-rent 13.5 per cent tariff on rec-ords will lead to multi-nationals and independents, ineffect, losing out in terms ofthe manufacturing of record-ings in Canada.

NEW YORK: Vinyl LPs are be-ing phased out by mostdealers. Despite accountingfor up to 20 per cent of industryunit sales, retailers have beencutting back on orders.

Shopping the thieves H`° P

FED -UP RETAILERS are crack-ing down on petty pilferers. AFrontline survey has revealeddealers are taking a tough lineagainst small-time thieves whoraid CD and cassette boxes ondisplay.

The culprits, described by re-tailers as usually in their teens,strip out inlay cards. Thatleaves businesses with the time-consuming task of ordering re-placement cards - or the jobof selling stock at reduced orsometimes non -profit -makingcost.

One retailer outlined the

'I watch themlike a hawkand when Icatchsomebody Igive them abloody goodclip across theear -hole'

success of an 18 -monthclampdown involving a staffbonus scheme. Carrie Parkin,of EGS Records, Wakefield,explained shop assistants arepaid £15 for spotting thieves.

She said: "I should say overthe last year -and -a -half wehave caught around 25people. On each occasion weprosecute. I think you have to.

"At one stage we wentthrough a bad phase whichlasted for about a month. It canbe a real problem."

Mr Keith Thornton of Tem-pest Records, Birmingham, saidhalf a dozen inlay cards disap-pear on average each week.

"One thing I have tried is

photo -copying them," he said."The idea is that they no longerlook as attractive to steal andin that way put people off."

A popular theory among re-tailers is that youngsters stealthe cassette inlay cards to gowith home recorded tapes.

Also a target are empty al-bum sleeves, possibly taken forwall decorations.

Peter Bone, of Peter's Rec-

ords, Eston, Cleveland, has hisown answer to the thieves.

He said: "I watch them likea hawk and when I catchsomebody I give them abloody good clip across theear -hole."

Nick Brook, proprietor ofTower Sounds, Cirencester,said: "I've been in the business14 years and ever since cas-settes took off it has been aproblem. Now inlays of bothcassettes and CDs go. It is

something that you have tokeep a very close eye on."

Tight security at SoundtrekRecords, Bootle, Merseyside,

looks to have provided oneanswer to the problem. NickHunt said: 'We have thingstightly under control here withstock under lock and key. Theplace does not look like FortKnox inside but it is secure."

Martin Price, of Eastern Bloc,Oldham Street, Manchester, facescharges following the siezure bypolice last September of an albumby Flux Of Pink Indians and associ-ated display materiel from hisshop.

The album, on the One Little In-dian label is titled The FuckingCunts Treat us Like Pricks ... TheFucking Pricks Treat us Like Cunts.

MIKE JONES, EMI rep for theYorkshire and Derbyshire area, isthe company's new salesman ofthe year.

After 20 years on the road -he started as a van rep with CBSin 1968 - Jones says he has seendramatic changes in the retail sec-tor with the indie outlets havingsurrendered their supremacy to themultiples. The emphasis on thesingle as a tool to break acts, andthe multiplication of formats inwhich those singles are availableare also trends which have affect-ed his job. He says he can recall"when 'variety' meant stereo ormono."

A keen football fan, he adds hismain ambition is to see SheffieldUnited back in the First Division.

What's happening boys?DESPITE ITS poor reviews,Picture Music Interna-tional is satisfied with itsinvestment in the recent

Pet Shop Boys feature, It Couldn'tHappen Here.

According to PMI's MartinHaxby, "we had pre -sold theatricaland software rights, as well asforeign rights". In Britain, the filmis expected to be available forChristmas on video rental with asell -through release next summer.Haxby adds that he would be pre-pared to produce another feature

film, "but only when the right pro-ject comes along".

The movie is only one of Haxby'sambitious projects outside the nor-mal music video orbit. With the25% quota for independent pro-gramming to which BBC and ITVare committed, he is involved withboth Granada and the BBC in mu-sic programmes - a film ofGershwin's Porgy And Bess and abiography of Nat King Cole, whichwill include previously unknownfootage owned by the singer'swidow.

very open to co -productions" ex-plains Haxby, "though the bar-gaining is tough". He adds that PMIhave retained all foreign rights in-cluding sales to TV.

With its stable of nine directors,including Jack Bond who made ItCouldn't Happen Here, PMI is

probably Britain's biggest musicvideo production company. 'Weexpect to shoot 110 this year",says Haxby, " and we have donework for every major record com-pany except WEA. The promomarket is expanding though thereis still almost nowhere to showthem in Britain - there are greateropportunities overseas".

Like other music video labels,PMI is looking forward to a bum-per Christmas sell -through market.It will have the first in its initial child-ren's venture, The Raccoons, butthere is also the expected strongmusic line-up. A new Queen com-pilation is promised (last year's 3 -volume release has done over100,000 cassettes), plus a PetShop Boys EP with six tracks anda Beatles box set. This will includethe Magical Mystery Tour and afilm called The Making Of HardDay's Night. Haxby, who predictsa 20 million unit Christmas marketfor sell -through, adds that "wehave also stockpiled our old chest-nuts like Tina Turner's Break EveryRule",

Fela Kuti: Fela Live. HendringHEN 2/091. Running Time: 75minutes.COMMENT: The controversialNigerian singer and his dancingwives were recorded at theGlastonbury Festival. As usual, thepolitical singer directs his criticismsat the authorities in his country inhis songs, and stops to talk abouthis music and political views. Thenight filming doesn't give the videoany atmosphere and even thoughhe produces some of his traditionalAfrobeat, Fela certainly doesn'tgive his best performance.

Sales forecast: His loyal fanswho haven't heard from him for awhile will welcome this video. Butit has little general appeal. OD

AEROSMITH: Video Scrapbook.Hendring HEN 2 105. Runningtime: 54 minutes. Dealer price:£8.34COMMENT: Scrapbook is an ap-

lropriatetitle for this motley col-

ection of predominantly live foot-age. The camerawork itself is ad-equate but as this dates back overtheir 15 year career it is rather dat-ed overall.

Don't get me wrong, there's no-thing duff about Aerosmith andtheir music, it's just that this videois stuck in average mode and giveslittle away - even during the mild-ly amusing interview scenes. Com-pared to something like Bon Jovi'sSlippery When Wet video (a bandthat could well be seen as follow-ing in Aerosmith's footsteps inmany respects) this Scrapbookpales into insignificance.

Sales Forecast. This one is un-likely to break into the mainstreamover here despite the band's suc-cess in America and their recent re-vival with Walk This Way. Salesshould be judged in comparisonwith those of the band's last album.

Dealer Price: £11.82.COMMENT: Virgin has entered theclassical video field with somestrong selections and the sheervariety of the titles is one of themain attractions. Each of theseissues has a strong selling point, butalso, regrettably, a weak point aswell.

Don Giovanni has the strongcompetition of the memories of theKanawa film. This production,however, is of special interest be-cause it was made in a beautifullyrestored 1 8th century theatre anduses authentic instruments. The sin-gers are not widely known but re-liable.

The ENO production ofGloriana - the opera written byBritten for the Coronation -doesn't need subtitles, of courseand benefits from a vigorous andcourtly presentation with laudablesinging and acting, centreing on asuperbly imperious Elizabeth sungby Sarah Walker. However, it mustbe said that it is the least popularopera of all three titles.

Sales forecast: Virgin ClassicsOpera is well presented (in a pres-entation box) but future sales of theseries would benefit from subtitles,particularly in view of its higherprice in comparison with Pickwick.

THE DEATH on March 5 ofDavid Bicknell has broken the lastlink to the earliest days of classicalrecording.

Born in 1906, Bicknell joinedHMV in 1927 as assistant to FredGaisberg who had pioneered re-cording at the turn of the century.In the thirties he was involved withthe first records of Yehudi Menuhinand after war service in which hegained the MBE, he rejoined EMIbecoming manager of the interna-tional artists department in 1957.He retired in 1971.

David Bicknell's successor, PeterAndry describes him as "a cultured,sensitive and loveable man and aretiring sort of person. Based downat Hayes, he was an eminencegrise".

Bicknell is survived by his widowGioconda de Vito, the Italian vi-olinist whom he discovered and re-corded many times for HMV.

Laying down the lawfor his star clientsby Karen Faux

GGRESSION IS

good, according toshowbiz solicitorPaul

Woolf. If that hasfaint echoes of GordonGekko's philosophy in the filmWall Street (greed is good),Woolf is quick to emphasisethat his aggression is positivelychannelled - always to thebenefit of his client.

In July Paul Woolf and part-ner Tony Seddon merged withanother law firm, Roscoe Phil-lips, to form the formidableWoolf Seddon Roscoe Phillips,spanning all areas of commer-cial and private law. Prior tothe merger Woolf Seddon hadrepresented, among others,Thomas Dolby,Level 42,Feargal Sharkey and Tears ForFears.

While the company receptionistgets used to delivering a mouthfulof four names to callers, PaulWoolf explains his personal ap-proach to the business: "Quite a lot

of what I do is close to the Ameri-can way of doing things, givingbusiness management advice anddeal making. But the crucial differ-ence is I always avoid conflicts.Some US lawyers act for everyone- including the manager and theclient - and some end up tradingone artist against another on thesame label.

"I see myself as being here tohelp a band or artist; finding thema manager, taking them to a rec-ord company and getting them adeal. We are identified with suc-cessful acts but we don't hang outat gigs giving out cards or anythinglike that. We get all our businessthrough referral."

Woolf believes that one of hisgreatest skills is making compli-cated things seem straightforward- especially to managers whoaren't always particularly clued up."It's more important than ever -given the short time span of a lotof bands - that their contract isin good shape, so that they don'tget robbed by their record com-pany or their manager.

"Record companies often rec-ommend a lawyer who they knowwon't give them a hard time and

we don't get referral work fromrecord companies. We have a fan-tastic relationship with them butthey know where they stand. Othersolicitors have a less heavy reputa-tion - but they know if I'm involv-ed it's pro artist, high negotiation."

Woolf pinpoints that bands areoften caught in a dilemma: "Some-times they're offered a contractand I tell them not to sign, evenif the record company is promisingto make them stars. It all dependson a band's leverage at any giventime - if they're hot, they can writetheir own contract."

New media areas are ensuringthat bands and artists are increas-ingly having to seek professionaladvice. Record companies arenow keen to own audio and visualrights because of video potential- "But record company contractsare more frequently becoming onesided options," claims Woolf."Sometimes they won't accept aclause which says we promise torelease records in any given terri-tory. Some draft contracts don'tcommit to releasing any records atall."

The growing role of lawyers inthe music sphere is all part of the

PAUL WOOLF - the legal voice of the stars.

evolution of the business itself, andaccording to Woolf the whole en-tertainment industry has now be-come an acceptable vocation. "Inthe old days performers couldn'tmake a decent living but themoney has grown and, with thehelp of laywers, bands can now af-ford to be bands full time. That'sa big magnet."

With the cost involved in pro-moting and making an albumalong with the risk ofunguaranteed shelf -life, recordcompanies need more and morechoice. Woolf sees his role asbridging the gap between the rec-ord company and the artist withthe aim of helping both. Whilerecognising a problem in the pastof identifying with younger bands,

he says: "New bands can ring usup direct and we will provide afree consultation. There are nobarriers there. But when we're talk-ing big deals - that's when westart to talk big money ..."

the Chappell Record Music Li-brary which has now been pur-chased by Zomba Music Pub-lishing.

Zomba is a comparativenewcomer to the backgroundlibrary field, having first enter-ed this area in 1986 throughits acquisition of Bruton Musicfrom singer Michael Jackson,Bruton Music was formerly asuccessful division of the oldATV Music catalogue.

"There are around 30 back-ground music libraries active inthe UK, in what has become anextremely competitive market,"says Zomba's Ralph Simon."Yet, 90 per cent of this marketis dominated by four libraries.By acquiring the Chappell li-brary, we now own two ofthese four principal libraries.

"With Zomba's expertise inthe international markets to-gether with our successful jointventure in America with EMI'sKPM library (the largest libraryin operation), which itself oper-ates under the name of APM(Associated Production MusicInc), we are now perfectly po-sitioned to expand and devel-op our investment in what wesee as a stable growth area ona world-wide basis".

Simon adds that Zomba willnot be absorbing the reper-toire of the Chappell libraryinto Bruton Music. Having ac-quired the exclusive use of theChappell name as part of thetransaction, Zomba will con-tinue to operate the ChappellRecorded Music Library as aseparate and fully staffed divi-sion under its existing name.The company will be based at

Zomba's West End offices at11 Greek Street, Soho, whichalready houses Zomba ScreenMusic, The Jingle Zone andBruton Music.

"We will be embarking uponan extensive recording pro-gramme to broaden and ex-pand upon the repertoire in theChappell library, and havealso hired Colin Bilik as generalmanager to inject new energyand enthusiasm into this li-brary", says Zomba UK groupmanaging director, John Fruin.

In addition to these moves,long-standing Bruton Musicexecutive, Marleen Bail, hasbeen appointed a director ofBruton. Jonathan Channon, theZomba executive responsiblefor its activities in the back-ground music library, film/TVmusic and jingles area, hasbeen appointed a director ofboth Bruton Music and theChappell Recorded Music Li-brary.

'We are nowperfectlypositioned toexpand anddevelop ourinvestment inwhat we seeas a stablegrowth areaon a world-wide basis'

& R TALENT

BandingtogetherTHE PROCLAIMERS are backwith another hit record and abrilliant new LP. No surprisesthere, but what was not ex-pected was the Reid twin's deci-sion to record and perform witha full backing band rather thanas an acoustic duo.

Charlie explains. 'We werenever acoustic purists and weknew that there was going to bea situation, maybe three LPs in,when we would need a band.It has just happened a bit soon-er." The end result suggests thatit was a wise decision and thenew LP, Sunshine On Leithshould build on the considerablesuccess of This Is The Story.

The record also sees the twinsworking with a new producer.'We chose Pete Wingfield be-cause we had been impressedby his work for Dexys and wehad seen him play piano withthe Everly Brothers," says Craig."He has as much of a reputationas a musician as a producer -we went to him with tunes work-ed out on a guitar or a pianoand he came up with the ar-rangements. He was perfect, wecouldn't have got anyone bet-ter."

The twins are also pleasedthat he was prepared to put incountry touches - "Some pro-ducers would have held back,"they claim.

For much of the next five monthsthe band will be touring, kicking offwith o jaunt around Scotland. Thiswill include some "tiny" venues. Thesmallest is said to be a village hallon the island of Uist, which has apopulation of 10 people - thetickets are available through the lo-cal priest! Then its off around Eng-land and the continent followed bya short visit to the States at the endof the year and a longer one in Jan-uary. 'We can't wait to get to Amer-ica," says Craig. "The country hasbeen such an influence on our musicand it will give us a chance to affirmor perhaps destroy some of our be-liefs about the place." Judging fromthe band's live rendition of the cur-rent single I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)on Wired, the shows could be evenmore stunning than last year's un-accompanied ones.

HELEN O'HARA: being happy.

Sprintingto fameby Gerald MahloweSIX SUMMERS ago, Dexy'sMidnight Runners hauled them-selves out of their post-Genodepression with the bold andbracing sound of the Too -Rye -Ay album and its hit single ComeOn Eileen, Jackie Wilson Saidand The Celtic Soul Brothers.

All featured the Emerald Ex-press, a clutch of fiddles led byclassically trained violinist HelenO'Hara, who speedily becameKevin Rowland's right-hand girl.she co -wrote later hits like Let'sGet This Straight From The Startin '83 and Because Of You,from the BBC TV sitcom BrushStrokes, in '86, and when Dexy'swas dissolved she, like Kevin,opted for solo status.

This album has one O'Haratune on it. She, aided by man-ager Lorna Gradden ofCommunards fame, has a demoto tout. What does it sound like?"I've drawn on all sorts of influ-ences - Irish, classical, country,"she says. "They're all the musicsthat I like but with the structureand directness of pop. I think I

could have singles."She expects her instrumental

music will get tagged New Age,"But I don't relate to it. The sortof instrumental LP I like is DavySpillane's Atlantic Bridge -that's terrific and closer to what

I'm doing than, say, Ian Lynn.What I also find interesting is

Acid house music. I know itsounds ridiculous but I relate tothat more than I do New Age!"

Helen is not New Country,either, though her plush tonescan be heard on TanitaTikaram's New Countryishdebut single, and she does loveNashville's fiddlers. "I really likeBrantley Kearns, who plays withDwight Yoakam, Clarence'Gatemouth' Brown, who has atotally original style, and MarkO'Connor, who records withRandy Travis. I'm also into Mich-ael Doucet, who plays cajunmusic."

Not unlike Mr Rowland, thislady won't compromise. "I won'tdo things just for the money. Mylife has always been about do-ing what I feel happy with."

Midge hasanswersby Paul SextonTHE TITLE of Midge Ure's newsolo album, Answers To No-thing, refers to the lack of sol-utions to the world problemsraised on the LP. But it has an-other significance, in produc-ing the record himself, and incutting the ties with Ultravox,Midge is now answerable tono one.

"To me this feels like the firstsolo album," he says. 'When Irecorded The Gift I still had thesecurity of Ultravox aroundme. We were having a breakso I started dabbling in the stu-dio to see what I could comeup with, so in a sense it wasn'treally an album, it was a select-ion of ideas and bits of coverversions and things, but thisone is much more of an album.I don't have the security ofUltravox behind me so I'm verymuch out on my own."

The album features a stellarline-up of guests - Big Coun-try's Mark Brzezicki, ex -Japanmember Mick Karn and Level42's Mark King, who was ontour in America when Midgeneeded him; Ure flew toAtlanta with his multi -track andKing gave up his one day offto record three bass parts in-cluding one for the title tracksingle.

King is also on a rousingtrack featuring Kate Bush andRobin and Ali Campbell ofUB40 entitled Sister AndBrother. "It's nice for me as anartist to sit back and think thereare artists of that calibre whohave actually worked on myrecord," says Ure.

"It's a bit of an ego thing forme. I still find it quite incrediblethat people like that can comealong and work on your rec-ord.

"I'd met Kate on many anoccasion but I couldn't actuallysay I knew her well. I sent hera tope of the track and she lov-

ed the song. She has her ownstudio, and because she wasright in the middle of recordingher own album it was easier forher to stay where she was. I

really thought she'd only do acouple of hours and when I

heard what she'd done, she'dmulti -tracked her voice andsung all these harmonies, fan-tastic stuff."

Ure confirms that the Ultravoxwe know is a thing of the past, atleast as far as he's concerned. Theonly break's he's had from record-ing have been for the Mandelashow and the Prince's Trust con-cert.

"Those things don't take thatmuch time to put together," he ex-plains. "The Princes Trust took acouple of hours on the phone andfour days' rehearsal. The Mandelathing was a few hours on thephone and two days' rehearsal. Soit's not an awful lot of time to beasked to commit, and they're ac-tually quite pleasant breaks afteryou've been working in the studiofor six months."

Missingthe sunby Adam IsaacsIN FRANCE, Africa and The WestIndies Kassav sell hundreds of thou-sands of their albums (they have re-leased 25 to date). They are superb-ly produced, glossy affairs that cre-ate an immediate sense of warmth.The band's key personnel are fromthe French Antilles - Guadeloupeand Martinique - although theyare based in Paris.

"Being in Paris is a necessity, notmy will, I miss the sunshine of myhome islands," says lead singerJocelyn Beroard told me. Perhapsthat is why Kassav's latest single istitled Soleil (Sun). It comes from ViniPou, an album which has now beenreleased in this country on Epic.

"Our live shows at the Zenith inParis attracted a lot of fans and con-sequently the attention of CBS," saysJocelyn. 'Vini Pou was released lastDecember in France and sold wellfor the band, who have a massiveFrancophone following and grow-ing cult status in this country.

The Band has appeared onChannel 4's Club Mix programmeand live before massive crowds atlast years Reggae Sunsplash onClapham Common.

Kassav play Zouk, the Antillesfusion of Gwo Ka rhythms, Beguine,Quadrillo, Salsa and incendiary

funk. Zouk Is The Only Medicine WeHave was a massive success forKassav some years ago and hasbeen released on an album of thesame name by Greensleeves simul-taneously with the Epic package.

"On European tours we rest be-tween concerts," Jocelyn says. "Butfurther abroad we carry drum ma-chines and microphones and spendall our spare time coming up withnew songs, new ideas." Kassav's itin-erary includes Japan, America,Canada, Germany, Angola, Moz-ambique and Holland while thisyear it could be Britain, which willcatch on to Zouk.

Still inHeavenby Adam BlakeHEAVEN 17? Haven't they split up?No, they just keep a very low profile.Something they insist on maintainingdespite the fact that they are aboutto release an album, Teddy Bear,Duke and Psycho, described by Vir-gin's press office as a concept al-bum; and their single, The ballad ofGo Go Brown, is eminentlychariworthy.

They don't gig, so how are theygoing to promote the records? "It'sa big problem," says Martyn Ware.'We don't fit neatly into any market-ing niche, we just happen to be awk-ward. It may be naive but I hopepeople might actually want to listento the music."

So is the new work a concept al-bum? "It is, sort of." (Laughs) 'We'rehoping that people will think of aconcept and then inform us. We likethe idea of it being a concept albumbut there's no masterplan behind it,it's just our traditional obsessions -contemporary urban life and thedarker side of love affairs."

Why was Go Go Brown chosenfor the single? "Because it was sounusual. The world doesn't need an-other re -launch of a group thatsounds exactly the same."

Certainly blues harp androck'n'roll bass lines are hardly whatone associates with Heaven 1 7, butwith its hard -edged lyric about ateenaged drug -pusher and its ad-mirably uncluttered arrangement,Go Go Brown deserves attention.

The album it is drawn from hasa diverse and multi -faceted appeal;with painstaking, intelligent crafts-manship achieving an exceptionallyhigh level of originality and musicalinventiveness. "It's as near as we canget to art", offers Martyn. And that'sthe goal? "Oh, definitely."


PERFORMANCE

Sheila's bigvocal styleBy Selina WebbSHEILA SMITH slots her voiceand musicianship into a holealready occupied by AnnieLennox and Sinead O'Connor.It's all about having a big, bit-ing vocal style and a do-it-yourself, uncompromising ap-proach to the music business.

Watching Smith's recent supportslot at Julia Fordham's RiversideStudios gig, her ability to engulf thesenses with so few visual accoutre-ments emphasises the sheer powerof her voice. Dressed plainly inslacks and bolero jacket, sheshared the stage with only the ma-chinery necessary to play her inno-vative, synth -orientated backingtracks and guitarist GeorgetteOkey.

It turns out Okey's dynamic con-tributions had been painstakinglydictated by the self-confessed per-fectionist beside her. "I'm ameglomaniac, you know!" Smithexclaims for the fifth time when wemeet at her studio -equipped NorthLondon home.

Arriving at pop after classicaltraining, almost taking a job withan Italian Opera Chorus and "hav-ing fun" in a punk band, 28 -year -old Smith is currently unsigned, al-though courting strong interestfrom BMG.

An earlier deal with Island prov-ed unsuccessful - "I shouldn'thave left," she admits candidly. "Irealise now that the sort of disputes

all thetime". She has recently been drop-ped, if reluctantly, by Elton John'swinding -down Rocket RecordCompany. Now, with new man-agement not trying to push her oc-casionally avant-garde music intoan AOR formula, she is looking for-ward to building on the attentionshe received when touring withThe Communards.

SHEILA SMITH: lost record deal

OCEANS APART: making waves

Deep sea

jivers inthe swimby Duncan HollandTHE NAME may be a new one, butOceans Apart carry a pedigree thathas already set a few A&R heartsaflutter. Toting a hot little demo tapein their collective hand, this partNorwegian, part British trio are stak-ing claims for sophisticated pop. ascommercial as a vindaloo at closingtime, pinned down by the exquisitevocals of Astrid Grassvoll.

The seering beauty of Astrid'svoice would be enough for mostpeople, but the quality of the song -writing should not be overlooked, asDag Veidal explains: 'We're contin-ually writing and it's getting betterall the time. I was always consciousthat I wanted a female vocalist andAstrid fits perfectly."

Any thoughts that there could beproblems with two Norwegians(guitarist Colin Campbell representsthe British faction) are soon dispelledby the eloquent Veidal, although heis the first to admit that their musicis far from suitable for his home mar-ket.

"I was working in a record shopand it soon became clear to me thatthe music I liked was British music,whereas the records I was sellingwere largely American. It becameobvious to me that I ought to cometo England if I wanted to developas a writer."

And here he is. Ocean Apart isa band worth nurturing and nearlyas good as its press officer claims.It would be a shame if their futurewas to be compromised by the all -to -prevalent record company prac-tise of grabbing a band, squeezingout a couple of hits as quickly aspossible and then wondering whyit's all gone a little wrong. But Veidalis wise to this:

"Everybody seems to agree thatthere's something wrong with thebusiness, but don't do anythingabout it. They seem to want it allnow and don't let bands develop.That won't happen to us."

Worthy of consideration, thisbunch. Given 'em a go, it's in yourinterests.


Fire notso hotIT ISN'T easy avoiding compari-sons for any guitar -based act now-adays but the problem for TheFire f18, on the evidence oftheir performance at The NewMarquee, is that it could well turninto a full time occupation.

Vocalist Mark Lewis, visually asort of Bryan Adams without theacne, is occasionally responsiblefor dragging the band into U2 ter-ritory, while at other times we'retreated to the swirl of Ultravox, thecrash of Balaam, the intensity andatmospherics of The Mission.

Admittedly the bad had the taskof having to cope with a muddysound and a subtle, to say the least,lightshow, but the overwhelmingmessage is that The Fire desperate-ly need time to further their direc-tion and develop their own per-sonality.

Their songs though, do showsome promise. Strangers In TheNight, in particular is a memorablehighlight and captures the band inabrasive but accessible mood.Elsewhere though, it's back to thesearing, soaring guitar thatcharacterises much of the material,apart from a cover of Golden Ear-ring's Radar Love, serving to em-phasise the band's mixed-up ap-proach.

The A&R interest, very apparentat this gig, may well prove a touch

premature, but time will tell. Not somuch a forgetable fire, just a con-fused one.

KIRK BLOWS

A 'Triffid'returnWELCOME back to one of themost adaptable bands on theplanet. The Triffids have master-ed the outback pubs in their nativeAustralia, the larger world circuit ofclubs and now, with an album onIsland (after four independent re-leases), have found themselvesshowcased at London's DominionTheatre.

They're not a group to let theirchances slip, nor to abandon theintimacy of David McComb's ex-

lansivesongs and narratives in a

arger live format. So we got mov-ing hand-held lights and shadowsfor the epic Lonely Stretch, spiritedsurprise covers of Into The Grooveand Rent, a supporting vista ofslide backdrops and a changingwho -plays -what and what -genre -do -we -fit -in -now? In short, TheTriffids were as fascinating as ever.

Tonight was not one for newmaterial but one to re -familiarisethe audience with songs likeHometown Farewell Kiss, Kelly'sBlues and the new single HolyWater. McComb's mahogany -brown voice makes the dramaticdetails of these songs every bit theequal of Alsy McDonald's guitarand violin and 'Evil' Grame Lee'spedal steel, whilst the latter'sspirited version of Don Gibson'sLegend In My Time was anotherchoice moment in The Triffids' per-formance. To some, but not yetenough, this group are legends intheir time already.

MARTIN ASTON

TRIFFIDS: ADAPTABLE band

Steppingout againWOMACK & WOMACK, cur-rently riding high in the charts withtheir Footsteps single and Con-science LP, are back after a dryperiod. Not back with a ven-geance, mind you, since ven-geance is not part of the Womacktradition.

In their jeans, beaded caps andembroidery they embody thehippy philosophy of love, peaceand understanding but since theirsis a soul show these key phraseswere trained on the nature of hu-man relationships. After all, theyare husband and wife.

From the opening bars at TheDominion, of a slightly rushed Ex-press Myself to the finale whereMa Womack and the children join-ed in to "Celebrate" this perform-ance was a joy. The audience, atfirst slightly bemused, being dress-ed far smarter than the people theyhad come to watch, graduallywarmed up, delighting eventuallyin the spontanaeity, folksiness andsheer warmth that Cecil and Lindamustered.

Don't Leave Me This Way, a fewcasual bars that knocked theCommunards into a cocked hat,merged into Baby I'm Scared OfYou. There was a rocky Love Warsand of course, Footsteps and Con-science.

ADAM ISAACS

UnexpectedtalentsTHE intrinsically Germanic sym-phonic mountains of Bruckner andMahler are not obvious challengesfor the Italian conductor RiccardoChailly, but then his appointmentas principal of the AmsterdamConcertgebouw was not a predict-able occurrence either.

And just how much Chailly is aBrucknerian of stature could beseen in the first of two perform-ances at the BBC Proms. Con-ducting the Symphony No 3, awork which though wayward inconstruction, contains the seeds ofthe great late works, Chailly wasas impressive in the noble declar-ations as he was observant in thedetail.

His evident passion for Bruckneris resulting in a Decca series, to beproduced by Ray Minshull. Half ofthe symphonies are being record-

ed with the Radio Symphony Or-chestra, Berlin, and the later workswith the Concertgebouw. With thebeautiful string sound produced bythe Concertbegouw and the bouy-ant rhythmic control which wassuch a feature of the whole con-cert, this series is one to be antici-pated with pleasure.

The Prom also showed other un-expected Chailly talents. The open-ing piece, Mozart's Overture ToIdomeneo, was exquisite in its light-ness, something totally unexpectedfrom such a grand orchestra andit captivated the discerning Promaudience, even if the F major PianoConcerto K 459 received an idio-syncratic performance from RaduLupu.

NICOLAS SOAMES

Current onfor wireWHO ELSE but Wire would re-form five years after splitting up,and then totally ignore their past?At their recent show at London'sAstoria Theatre the audienceshouted for Dot Dash, I Am The Flyand 12XU, but they were wastingtheir breath. Wire may still deal instark and smart pop, but they steerclear of performing their old ma-terial live.

Instead they concentrated ontheir recent LP, A Bell Is A Cup UntilIt Is Struck, which is every bit asfine as its title. Songs like Silk SkinPaws and The Queen Of Ur AndThe King Of Um were delivered ina matter of fact style that matchedthe group's severe monochromaticclothes and stage set. The LP is aless harsh affair than their returndebut, The Ideal Copy, and standsup well against the trio of classicLPs they recorded for Harvest from77 to 79.

The highlight of the set, though,was three new songs which sug-gest that the group is shifting grad-ually towards the commercial poparena - a move which was firstsignalled by the wonderful KidneyBingoes single. The new tracks, in-cluding The Offer and Buzz in TheEardrum, were as catchy as theywere clever, and bode well for thefuture - the group may even findthemselves returning to the main-stream charts, 10 years after theirlast and only hit, Outdoor Miner.They finished off with an awesome14 -minute version of Drill whichreminded us that, no matter howpappy they get, there will alwaysbe a dark and uncompromisingside to the group.

LP REVIEWS

BON JOVI: New Jersey. VertigoVERH 62. If you're looking forguaranteed seller, they don't comemuch more cast iron certain thanthis. However, those seeking deep-er satisfaction may be disappoint-ed. Yes, New Jersey is sharp andslick and strong - an amalgam ofraunchy vocals, definite drums andassertive rock guitar - but sometracks sound very much as thoughBruce Springsteen played a largepart in their construction.

JC-M

F1jSTOCK IT

BILLY BRAGG: Workers Play-time. Go! Discs AGOLP 15. Amore plaintive Billy spruced -up bya gaggle of good egg musicians(Martin Belmont, Danny Thomp-son, Bruce Thomas and Joe Boydat the knobs) this stands as apremier musical offering, but keepsthe characteristic Bragg drawl andlyrical honesty. Could be the LPthat takes him into a more Costello -like league. DH

THE DREAM SYNDICATE: GhostStories. Enigma ENVLP 506. TheSyndicate have never quiterediscovered their Slash heydaywith a powerful variation on theVelvet Underground blueprint (dis-engaged vocals, ferocious guitars).Last spotted on Big Time, the bandveers a little closer to the main-stream these days and the guitarsare not let out of their cages asoften but Steve Wynn still writesdarkly interesting songs. There aresome ponderous moments too and

this one is unlikely to win new con-verts, but will interest thefaithful. RM

VARIOUS: Acid Jazz And OtherIllicit Grooves. URBAN/PolydorURBLP 16. A rather inappropriatetitle for this jazz/dance compila-tion. Compilers Gilles Peterson andSimon Booth take Acid's name invain but come up with some strik-ing funky workouts featuring JamesTaylor, Push and Jazz Renegades.A colourful and uninhibited collab-oration of rare groove and Eight-ies Jazz. NR

PHILIP MICHAEL THOMAS:Somebody. Atlantic 790 960-1.Authentic smooching opens this LPfrom the narc on the box, who'sactually quite a good singer. Nogimmicks - he's serious, and thehuge production (the girlie har-monies sound rather sexy on head-phones, one finds) and decentsoulful material from the likes ofAshford and Simpson make thedeal an honest one. DC

AL STEWART: Last Days Of TheCentury. Enigma ENVLP 505. Nofolkie doldrums or F -words here,Al's discovered synths. "You look-ed like a still/From Cecil B DeMille"on the title track reminds us of hislyrical inclinations, but elsewhereit's all change as heavy sessiontypes (uncredited on the cheaposleeve) lay in to his still -tuneful -but -bloody -long songs. Not withoutmerit but almost certainly withouthits. DC

PENGUIN CAFE ORCHESTRA:When In Rome. EG EGED 56. Re-

corded live not in Rome but at theposh Royal Festival Hall(slamdancing not encouraged).The world's most casually -dressedorchestra are in exemplary form.Early stuff like Air A Danser andNumbers 1 -4 still cut the Colman'sand newer bits off Sings Of Life area hypnotic, rhythmical treat.People like this sort of thing andquite right too. DC

KIP HANRAHAN: Days AndNights Of Blue Luck Inverted.Pangea 461158-1. ComposerHanrahan obviously loves bothjazz and world music, as his sixthalbum mixes Caribbean percussionand bossa-nova song with smokeynightclub blues, jazz blowing, plentyof brandy, After Eights and musicfriends like Jack Bruce and a Nev-ille Brother. The result is luxurious,'lovers jazz' if you like, but veerstoo near to a MOR feel for a hipcult crossover though. Eclectic andclassy though. MA

HUMAN CHAIN: Cashin' In. EGEGED 57. This homegrown jazztrio have already won a fine repu-tation with the critics for their ec-centric and highly individualgrooves. As their second albumshows, this Chain's penchant formingling the unexpected and sur-real with a mellow and melodic ac-cessibility may make them a mar-keting man's nightmare, but thenlabel EG has always been good atdealing with left -field surprises. MA

SUICIDAL TENDENCIES: HowWill I Laugh Tomorrow .. . WhenI Can't Even Smile Today. VirginV2551. The debut album by this lot

TA/110-F "A.K.4'

BILLY BRAGG and pals relax during Workers Playtime

was a joyously offensive hardcoregem - real shit -kicking arrogance,but this is something else entirely.Ever since jumping on the skate-board bandwagon they've tendedto churn out safer and saferstraight metal. Strangely enough,this career move has seen themtake off big-time in the States(packing out stadia and all that).The nastiness has gone but whatyou're left with is an adequate andsaleable metal noise. LF

JANE WIEDLIN: Fur. EMI -Man-hattan MTL 1029. Guitarist Janefollows Belinda's massive slimlinesuccess as the next Go -Go to gosolo with the Rush Hour hit, butsadly Fur takes little chances, turn-ing out rather bland and tailoredif quite sophisticated LA productionmoves and not enough of the girl's

obvious individual gifts. A hit. MA

THE CHESTERFIELDS: CrocodileTears. Household HOLD 4LP.Distribution: Revolver/Cartel.Yeovil's finest have wisely avoidedflooding the indie charts with hastyreminders of the group's 'C-86'boom times but instead waited untilthey found the right stuff - songsthat retain both the Chesterfields'pop chirpiness and more reflectiveairs while more than showing offtheir two year's songwriting matur-ity. With guaranteed radio support,this one will go a long way. MA

Olympia contract bringsPolish recordings to UKby Nicolas Soames

OLYMPIA, the CD label bestknown for its licensing dealwith the Soviet record labelMelodiya, has signed a newand extensive contract withPolskie Nagrania, the Polishstate record company.

Very few Polish recordingshave been available in the UKowing to poor distribution andquestionable LP pressings, al-though Francis Wilson, directorof Olympia and Europeanmarketing director ofDistronics, has always main-tained a respect for Polish mu-sic and the recordings them-selves.

The agreement, signed withthe director of PolskieNagrania, Bianka Skorzewski,incorporates the world-widedistribution of the label on CDonly, starting with 25 CDs, ofwhich the first six will be issuedin October. There will subse-quently be regular releases ofsix a month.

In addition, an agreementwas signed for co -productionsbetween Olympia and PolskieNagrania, involving some veryinteresting projects. The Polishcompany will discuss its newrecordings with Olympia, andOlympia's artists will go to Pol-and to record.

The pianist Peter Katin is

scheduled to travel to Polandin December to record all fiveof Rachmaninov's Piano Con-certos with the Polish NationalPhilharmonic Orchestra underKasimir Kord. The CDs will bereleased in 1989, hopefullycoinciding with a visit the or-chestra is making to the UK.

Most exciting of all is a pro-jected plan for Peter Katin torecord all Chopin's piano mu-sic over two years on 15 CDsfrom the authentic manuscriptskept in Poland. The recordingswould be endorsed by thePolish Ministry of Culture. "Thiswould make it a unique pro-ject," said Wilson.

With the initial release of PolskieNagrania material, Wilson has de-cided to stay away from the well-known Polish composers such as

Penderecki and Szymanowski inorder to introduce material whichhas never been available in theUK.

"The music of Poland is very in-teresting, and it goes back longerthan Russian music," he explained.He has devised a series calledMusica Antigua Polonica whichcovers instrumental chamber andchoral music from the 15th centuryto the end of the 18th century.

It includes a CD devoted to fivesymphonies from the Polish con-temporaries of Mozart and Haydn- Haczewski, Golabek andWanski (OCD 301), and theRequiem by Zwierzchowski writtenin 1740 (OCD 319). "The music ofthe 16 -18th centuries in Poland isevery bit as powerful and originalas Western music although it re-flects Polish culture," commentedWilson.

Other Olympia plans includeCDs of 19th century composerssuch as Paderewski and Karlowitz,early 20th century composers, andpost-war figures such as Szabelski,whose first CD (0CD300) containsseven works, including the best-known, a neo-classical ConcertoGrosso.

Wilson has been pleased withthe pace of the negotiations, hav-ing opened discussions in March,they will be ready for Christmas.

Miniature classics boomPOPULAR compilations are verymuch the theme of the new budgetseries from Philips, called Minia-ture. Digitally remastered, and withprogrammes running at least 60minutes, the emphasis is placed onestablished themes.

Thus there is Orchestral Show-pieces - Danse Macabre bySaint-Saens, Tchaikovsky's Romeoand Juliet and many more (422273-2); Overture, with DonGiovanni, Carmen, The MagicFlute and others (422 272-2); andGuitar Festival, with Los Romerosplaying Vivaldi, Telemann, Bach,but also some Flamenco (422 275-2).

There are a total of 18 titles inthe first release, each with a dealer

price of £3.05, aiming for a r.r.p.of £4.99.

THE CYPRIOT -born pianistMartino Tirimo, who played Rach-maninov's Piano Concerto No 2for CfP, has moved to KingdomRecords to record an album Mas-terpieces in Miniature - FavouritePiano Encores (KCLCD 2003). Theprogramme includes works byLiszt, Debussy, Albeniz, Bartok,Schubert and Chopin's C sharp mi-nor Nocturne.

First comefirst servedA LIMITED edition Walkman Clas-sics Sampler, with a dealer priceof 60p (r.r.p. 99p) is to be produc-ed by Deutsche Grammophon togive the series a further boost.

Walkman has been the most suc-cessful classical tape series ever,with sales in the UK alone topping2m, with the more popular titlesselling 60,000 units since the initiallaunch in the summer of 1984.

"It will be a true limited editionwith just 25,000 being made, soit will be a question of first comefirst served," commented MichaelDeacon, DG's press officer.

4. OPERAS

illUST HOW readily avery wide audience re-sponds to opera hasbeen convincingly

shown recently by the thou-sands who flocked to HarveyGoldsmith's grand productionof Aida.

Despite the tricks of televi-sion and film, spectacle, grandsplendour, and equally grandvoices live on stage have notlost their magic.

So although opera regularlyreceives massive coverage forthe amount of public subsidyneeded to keep companies likethe Royal Opera House afloat,there is no question of its popu-larity - and growing popular-ity at that. This is underlined bythe amount of opera appear-ing in lavish film productionsand on video where it sells insufficient quantities to interestthe multiples, and Virgin'svideo wing as well.

Opera's history is as variedand full of extravagance as themedium itself. It began in thelast decades of the 16th cen-tury, pioneered by composerssuch as Caccini (1550-1610)whose works are largely for-gotten now. It was withMonteverdi (1567-1643) anda series of works includingOrfeo and The Return ofUlyssses that the form wasreally established.

Operatic form developed in twomain ways over the following 150years, Opera Seria generally usedan Italian libretto based on a her-oic or mythological plot and wasdistinctly formal in style withHandel (1685-1759) a noted ex-ponent; and Opera Buffo, a comicopera, typified by Pergolesi's(1710-36) La Servo Padrona.Through Rameau (1683-1764)and Gluck (1714-1787), Francedeveloped its own elegant anddramatic style.

But it was Mozart (1756-1791)who brought the form to one ofits great peaks, investing the music

RICHARD STRAUSS: luscious lovemusic

and drama with both a depth andlightness of touch that was onlytouched on by his predecessors.His major works varied in their sub-jects from common social situationsto the mythical and the spiritual.

Though Beethoven (1770-1827) only wrote one opera,Fidelio, he introduced the contro-versial element of political free-dom, a more serious note than thelighter fables of amorous intriguesso beloved of Donizetti (1797-1848), Rossini (1797-1868), andBellini (1801-35). These three fig-ures, with operas such as DonPasquale (Donizetti), and The Bar-ber of Seville, The Italian Girl inAlgiers (Rossini) remain freshly en-tertaining to this day.

The scene was now set for thelarger developments of the 19thcentury. In Italy, Giuseppe Verdi(1813-1901) in his long and pro-ductive life extended the dramaticand musical range of opera in aseries of masterpieces: Nabucco,Rigoletto, II Trovatore, La Traviata,Aida, Otello, Falstaff based on anequally wide range of subjects.

The French operatic traditionwas continued with the Romanti-cism of Berlioz (1803-1869) andGounod's Faust (1818-1893) andproduced the single most popularopera of all time, Carmen, by Bizet(1838-1875), enjoying his Spanishtheme which, like many great op-eras, was only moderately receiv-ed at first.

Although Schubert (1797-1828)and Weber (1786-1826) wroteoperas, it was the towering person-ality of Richard Wagner (1813-1883) who brought opera or mu-sic drama as he preferred to callit to its peak. He wrote eleven op -

Bringing opera to allACTING IN a commendably swiftresponse to the summer's Aida tri-umph, the new classical companyAVM Classics is about to introducea new budget -priced CD operaline called Opera For All, with aremarkably low r.r.p. of £6.99 fora two CD pack.

The series has been made poss-ible by access to the record cata-logues of Balkanton, the Bulgarianstate record company, and not sur-prisingly, the first title is Verdi'sAida - squeezed on to two CDsfor the first time.

There is a total running time of149 minutes. The series will also beavailable on budget -priced tapesand LPs.

"Anyone who takes an interestin classical music knows that it is

almost impossible to get a seat atthe opera, which snows how popu-lar it is," said Robert Matthew -

Walker, director of AVM Classics."The difficulty is that traditionally

opera is very expensive to recordas well, so we looked for a wayof producing complete opera re-cordings but at a relatively cheapprice. This is what we have donewith Opera For All."

Although Bulgarian recordingsdo not have the reputation of theCzech Supraphon label, forexample, it is a country noted forits outstanding opera singers, in-cluding the famous Boris Christoff.

Matthew -Walker commentedthat he expects to release up to adozen popular operas includingChristoff's recording of Verdi's DonCarlos at the Opera For All priceover the next two years. "I like theidea of being able to offer goodopera at the cheapest possibleprice commensurate with soundbusiness."


eras and very little else, but theywere huge works, scored to hisown words, and eventually housedin his own purpose-built operahouse in Bayreuth.

Throughout the 19th century,opera flourished. In Russia, withMussorgsky (1839-1881) and hismasterpiece, Boris Godunov andTchaikovsky (1840-93) and Eug-ene Onegin; in Czechoslovakiawith Smetana (1824-1884) withthe Bartered Bride.

The rapid growth of rival visualmediums such as the cinema didnot slow the development of op-era. Richard Strauss (1864-1949)did the impossible and wrote lovemusic even more luscious thanWagner in works such as DerRosenkavalier, while in Pelleas et

PUCCINI: served the Italianpassion for tales of love and death

Melisande the French composerDebussy (1862-1918) showedthat the operatic form could con-tain the new mode ofimpressionism.

The Italian passion for tales oflove and death was served mostperfectly of all by Puccini (1858-1924) with La Boheme, Tosco,Madame Butterfly, Turandot andothers.

In fact, opera flourished every-where, and continued to do soafter the second world war. In Eng-land, which had produced onlyone perfect gem in Purcell's Didoand Aeneas in the 17th century,two new powerful operatic voiceswere found in Benjamin Britten(1913-1976) with Peter Grimes;and in Michael Tippett (b.1905)with The Midsummer Marriage.

Even avant-garde composerssuch as Karlheinz Stockhausen(b.1928) and Luciano Berio(b.1925), turned to the medium,with critical success. But, perhapsnot surprisingly, it is an American,Philip Glass (b.1937) whose es-pousal of minimalism as seen inAkhenaten and Einstein on theBeach who has won the greatestpopularity among his contempor-aries winning a new pop audienceto the form.

But sales of opera on record isincreasingly affected by opera onfilm, and soon, perhaps, interestwill be further heightened by theintroduction of CDV.

IFEATUA

Straight down the middle . . .This time last year WEA staff were stillgetting used to the idea of pledgingtheir loyalties to just one side of theAtlantic in a split which puzzled muchof the music business. Next week at itsannual sales conference the companyhas its first opportunity to assess thelong term impact of the new structure.Selina Webb got in first

ALITTLE over a yearago WEA chairmanRob Dickins an-nounced his com-

pany was to be split down themiddle. It was a move design-ed to re -focus energies ontoUS and UK product as separ-ate entities and now, 10months after the internal part-ing of ways, the company isproferring sales figures and ahealthy crop of new artists asevidence of its success.

In the past the UK side of theWEA operation has been leftblinking in the glare of Ma-donna, Prince and other bignames from across the Atlantic.Now, although sales of USproduct continue to increase,new home-grown acts aremaking their mark. Recently thechart witnessed six singles fromWEA's UK roster in the Top 40- an unprecedented situationwhich "couldn't have happen-ed without the division," ac-cording to Dickins.

The move to the ElectricLighting Station in Kensingtonlast November carried WEAover the threshold into its newdivided lifestyle. Marketing,promotion and press for UKand US product were handledseparately with former market-ing director Paul Conroy takingthe role of US division MD andMax Hole moving from headof A&R to lead the home team.The appointments reflect theheavy marketing bias of the USside of the operation and theincreased importance of start-ing from scratch with artist de-velopment in the UK division.

A clear -out of the UK rosterfollowed Hole's elevation toUK division MD and, under thedirection of new A&R headMalcolm Dunbar, 10 acts weredropped. Hole is happy withhis decision - "None of theacts has come back to hauntme!" he laughs - and pointsto the chart for evidence of asignificantly stronger set of UKartists.

One week in August saw TheFunky Worm, Tinita Tikaram,Matt Bianco, Aztec Camera,Chris Rea and Everything ButThe Girl with Top 40 singles,a mix of both new and estab-lished British artists scoring a

chart first for their company.According to Hole, the situ-ation was no fluke but "plan-ned down to the last tee" bythe forward -thinking staff in hisdivision.

"As a company we've al-ways been good at doingthings in five minutes' time butnot as good at the long-termplanning and looking forward.Now that we have two sets ofstaff we've got the time to planand work things longer thanperhaps might have been thecase a year ago," he explains.

According to Hole, it's hav-ing "time to come up with theplot" that has made all the dif-ference: time to put pre-releasedance records in the clubs, timeto build up media interest, timeto get the right graphics andvideos out and time to launchthe careers of new artists whenthe market seems most recep-tive.

"We can still turn thingsround incredibly quickly here,we're still good at reacting, butwhat the split had made us bet-ter at is the whole planning ofthe campaign," he affirms.

Now WEA's hopes for fur-ther growth in the UK divisionare riding on recent signingslike Gail Ann Dorsey, The As-sociates, Errol Brown, formerClannad vocalist Enya, The Be-loved and Chris Rea. Hole be-lieves these artists will reapextra benefits from the successof their US counterparts andthe fact that a single sales forceworks all WEA product.

"Our sales guys get to knowthe dealers through, say, TracyChapman so when a new artistlike Tinita Tikaram come alongthey have an advantage," heexplains. "There is friendly ri-valry within the company, butit helps having both sides doingwell. The better we both do thestronger we become as a com-

'pany.Hole concludes that the UK

is "definitely catching up" in thewake of last year's split andsays he is now looking forwardto increased success with non -US international product, alsohandled by his division.

With the enormous successenjoyed by WEA's US productit would be easy to believe that

KEEPING At,' eye on business for an American record company in London has always meant looking bothways at once. For the past year WEA UK chairman Rob Dickins (centre) has had two separate divisions togive each side of the Atlantic the attention it deserves and reckons the split has worked. the UK division isheaded by Max Hole (left), the US division by Paul Conroy.

Paul Conroy has shoulderedthe easiest job in the new or-ganisation. Conroy himselfsees more of a challenge in hisrole: "For me to take the USside which has always been themajor part of our business wasa major challenge," he says."Not only is the pressure on tobreak new acts but also tokeep the company in the posi-tion it had been in for severalyears."

The first 10 months of thenew -style WEA have been "aroaring success", according tothe US division MD. One ad-vantage of the new operationis having staff attuned to thepeculiarities of working USproduct.

'We don't have the luxury ofhaving artists here all the timeand TV programmers onlyshow so many US videos forexample - we need staff whoare familiar with working onthose sorts of problems," hesays. "There is a lot of pressureworking with US acts. Becauseof the hours, people can ringup early in the morning or lateat night and it can be very de-manding all round."

The new operation has alsogiven the company time to rootthrough all the possibilities ofits "wrinkle rock" artists andback catalogue, with successalready spawned in the shapeof Fleetwood Mac's rejuvenat-ed career and Best Of ... al-bums featuring such artists asThe Eagles.

Conroy sees his mainachievement as increasing theyear's sales despite the lowprofile of action for the com-pany's biggest money -spinner,

Madonna. There have beenhits from George Harrison,Cher, AC/DC, Robert Plant,Keith Sweat, Taja Savelle,Debbie Gibson, The Adven-tures, David Lee Roth andNarada with Conroy going formaximum sales with superiorpackaging and other mar-keting ploys. There has alsobeen time for his own personallove, country, which requiresintelligent marketing and"hipper" sleeves to sell in theU K.

"Very few hits are made inheaven, most of them needmarketing and special packag-ing," he muses.

Although the doubts havecrept in less than expected, themost weighty reservationshave been prompted by signsof rivalry within the company,something Dickins now knowsto nip in the bud.

"I sometimes regretted hav-ing done it when the friendlycompetition between the divi-sions turned into rivalry," he re-veals. "Definitely at the begin-ning the competition was be-coming too strong for onecompany but now I know thesigns before it gets danger-ous."

With promotion and market-ing staff levels doubling sincethe split the expansion of thecompany in personnel termshas been greater than ex-pected, although there are stillonly 70 staff based in

Kensington.Otherwise have the strands

of the plot come together asexpected?

"We've some repair work todo and some things to pat our-

selves on the back for," saysDickins. 'We haven't foundanything basically wrong, it'sjust structural changes that areneeded. For example the de-mands on the marketing teamfor the US side have beenmore than anticipated so wewill have to further increasethat. The UK side is basically inplace and it's working. At thispoint we need no majorchanges except to increase theA&R presence even further -we've got a great facility andneed more great acts to fuel

WEA's plans to become everbigger in the UK have depend-ed on the success of this ambi-tious splitting of its operation.Dickins says the US sales fig-ures are continuing to show asteady increase while the UKhas already shown a "markedupturn from the curve".

"Before the split I was tryingto be involved in everythingand aware of everything: mybrain was ready to explode,"he remembers. "I needed to beslightly away from things to seewhat was right, what waswrong and what direction weshould be taking. Now I can dothat."

Dickins concludes that he is"very happy" with his new -style company. "In the past twoto three months we've reallyseen both sides come of age-a lot earlier than I anticipat-ed," he says. "I was convincedthis was the right thing to doand I am happy to be reassur-ed by the results that arecoming in and excited by theknowledge of how far we cango in the future."

U2: Desire (Island (12)IS 400).U2 launch a new campaign withthis strikingly different track, pre-viewing their new double album,Rattle And Hum, and their film ofthe same name. Taking it's cuefrom their last world tour, Desiresees them deliver a classic slice ofburning rock'n'roll, stripping awaythe atmospherics of their last twoalbums, as it spontaneouslycombusts on its way to glory! Theaccompanying track; HallelujahHere She Comes, features BillyPreston, is also brilliant and noteven on the forthcoming LP.

iy-STOCK IT

THE WEDDING PRESENT: WhyAre You Being So ReasonableNow? (Reception REC 011(12).Dave Gedge and Co bring a

brand new and thoroughly re-freshing blast of thrashing popscreaming and bawling into theworld and its engaging melodyshould ensure a high chart placing.

SIOUXSIE AND THE BAN-SHEES: The Killing Jar (Wonder-land/Polydor SHE(X) 15). Another sumptuous, spiralling gemfrom their best album in years, thejust released Peep Show, as itbuilds magnificently to a mesmeris-ing climax that is sure to stamp itsclaim to prolonged chart exposure.

STOC K ITSANDIE SHAW: Please Help theCause Against Loneliness(Rough Trade RT(T) 220). TheQueen of Sixties Pop continues heryouthful re-ernergence with thisbright and beaty Mcrrissey/Streetcomposition taken from her forth-coming album, Hello Angel andgiven a dynamic Stephen Streetproduction. It should do well des-pite the ungainly title.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: SpareParts (CBS BRUCE(T) 4). The Am-nesty International World Tour ison its way spreading the word andthis four track single serves to makeavailable its adopted anthem, withthe Boss's live version of Dylan'sChimes Of Freedom the essentialingredient amongst the studiotracks from Tunnel Of Love andlive version of Spare Parts.

THE JACK RUBIES: Wrecker OfEngines (Lush LUSH 2(T) ). Cel-

ebrating the signing of an Ameri-can record deal, The Jack Rubiesissue this rip roaring version of alive favourite that previously wasavailable on Food records compi-lation, Imminent 5, plus the dra-matic Diamond Mine and theirnamesakes violent tale in DallasBlues. Both musts for their fans.

TOM TOM CLUB: Don't Say No(Fontana/Phonogram TCB 1

(12)). Talking Heads Tina Wey-mouth and Chris Frantz re -activatethe Tom Tom Club with this insidi-ous little dance number, which al-though lacking the wackynoveltyness of their early material,should still make an impression.

jSTOCK ITBOBBY McFERRIN: Don'tWorry, Be Happy (Manhat-tan/EMI (12)MT 56). Currently inthe US top 10, this up -lifting andvery catchy number from this im-mensely talented artist is deliveredin his inimitable style, is taken fromthe latest Tom Cruise film Cocktails,and should do just as well overhere.

LOVE AND MONEY: HallelujahMan (Fontana/PhonogramMONEY 5(12)). Much toutedwhen their first album, All YouNeed Is Love And Money, appear-ed but didn't fulfil the expectations,but now back with a new LP,Strange Kind Of Love, and thissingle is sharp and stylish enoughto realise this Scottish bands obvi-ous potential.

DURAN DURAN: I Don't WantYour Love (EMI (12)YOUR 1.Back with a fifth studio album andthis track from it forming rather apedestrian preview for said LP andtheir forthcoming world tour. Eventhe Shep Pettibone mix can't savewhat is by their standards a limpsong.

BANANARAMA: Love, Truth &Honesty (London NAN(AN/X/CD) 17). For classic pop turn tothese three and their three cohorts,Stock Aitken & Waterman. Anothervacuous dance tune that they areoptimistic enough to put on theirforthcoming Greatest Hits LP.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD: AThe Time (B The Inclination)(Parlophone/EMI (12)R 6188).This seven -piece group issue astrikingly different and very accom-plished debut single with this track

U2: Rocking and The Neighbourhood - striking

DURAN DURAN: a little limp

featuring jazzy horns above its

slinky, infectious rhythm. Certainlya promising start.

BON JOVI: Bad Medicine (Ver-tigo/Phonogram JOV 3 (12) ).More hard rocking heavy metalfrom these US rockers, and sure tomake an impact with its strong,commercial Bruce Fairburn pro-duced sound in time for the releaseof their latest album, New Jersey.

BALAAM & THE ANGEL: LiveFree Or Die (Virgin VS(T) 1124).having gained a fair deal of recog-nition in the States on their recenttour, Balaam & The Angel returnto these shores with a far heavierguitar sound and a single that isthe title track from their second al-bum.

THE DOGS D'AMOUR: I Don'tWant You To Go (China/PolydorCHIN(A/X) 10). swillin'rock'n'rollers, Dogs D'Amour issuethis rebellious, if rather dated, sliceof catchy rock from their forthcom-ing album, In The Dynamite Jet Sa-loon. Its nothing new, but remainssurprisingly engaging in its live feel.

JSTOCK ITATTACCO DECENTE: I Don'tCare How Long It Takes (All OrNothing AON 004(T/CD) ). Aneffective single with its dramaticacoustic backing superblycomplementing the striking har-monies and unforgettable chorus.Given the exposure it deserves thisengaging track could prove sur-prisingly popular.

TR ACKby Dave HendersonNOW THAT'S, er, sort of, whatwe call music volume 500! Well,almost, as Indie top 20 VolumeFive is released as a double al-bum, double play cassette andCD with millions of tracks and alow dealer price of £4.25. OnThe Beechwood label throughRevolver and the Cartel, it fea-tures a whole host of gems, in-cluding Robert Lloyd And TheNew Four Seasons' Some-thing Nice, King Blank's BlindBox, Wire's Silk Skin Paws,Danielle Dax's Cat House, JoyDivision's She's Lost Control,Nick Cave's Mercy Seat, PopWill Eat Itself's Def Con One,The Darling Buds' Shame OnYou, The Sugarcubes' Deus,Swans' Love Will Tear Us Apart,The Sea Urchins' Solace and awhole worldful of others. Now,that is what we call musicIIIII

ALSO THROUGH Revolver very,very soon is a compilation ofGuana Batz material on the,subtley-named, Wrongco label.Imaginatively titled Best Of TheGuano Batz, it'll be available onboth vinyl and CD and is ac-claimed as the definitive article.It'll also be supported by wide-spread advertising and promo-tion. Anhrefn return to their ownself -titled label with their first vinylsince their album on Upright. It'sa seven-incher titled Be Nesa 89

and it'll be followed by a newstudio album. The Strange Fruitlabel has two new Peel Sessionsto delight those who're currentlybuilding new record racks tohold the 50 plus in the series.There's a million track outburstfrom Nottingham speed -coreband Intense Degree and amere five tracks from thrashingEast Anglian's The Stupids.Both are available through Pin-nacle.

GLASS RELEASES yet more CDs,with Spacemen 3's Perfect Pre-scription and Nikki SuddenAnd Dave Kusworth's Jac-obites both available throughRed Rhino and the Cartel. Thelatter features eight additionaltracks when compared to its vinylcounterpart. While I'm typing this,I'm listening to the up and comingnew Laibach album for Mutewhich will certainly cause a flurryof excitement and controversy.Following their double 12 -inch,featuring six versions of TheRolling Stones' enigmatic Sym-pathy For The Devil, they've nowtotally redesigned the Sixties bycovering the whole of TheBeatles' Let It Be album. It

sounds like nothing else you'llhear this century with dynamics,arrangements and verve beingbuzzwords for the project. GetBack has never sounded so, er,weird, and I Me Mine will re -

LAIBACH: excitement and controversy

move the socks of any aspiringrebel.

BUT LET'S get back to RedRhino's totteringly terse ark andsee what weirdo European re-leases it has planned. Ah, yes, justas we'd suspected, here's athree-inch CD of T99's InvisibleSensuality on the Who's ThatBeat label, plus a compilationfrom Play It Again Sam coiledCore ... it features Coil andRobert Wyatt and it's availableon LP and CD. Similarly, there'sa CD -Only compilation from theThird Mind label and it's called,quite continentally Une Saison EnEnfer, which has something to dowith World Domination. Thegloriously named Vomito Ne-gro release a mini -album dancethong on KK and the NL centrumcounter moves to be one groupby offering yet another compila-tion, QED, with tracks from TheLegendary Pink Dots andChris And Casey ... and that'son CD.

CONCRETE, A label whichfobbed out under the guidanceof 400 Blows and pals, has acouple of new releases throughPinnacle and the Euro electronicscene is where they're fairly aim-ed. First off there's the third vol-ume of Funky Alternatives andthat contains remixed andmontaged material from the likesof Severed Heads, Son OfSam, WMTID, Front Line As-sembly and The Johnson En-gineering Company -among others - the latter ofwhich also have a mini -album intheir own right released thisweek. Titled Unleash it's a torrentof thrusting electronic rhythmsthat surge and break with thegreatest of ease.

FAST FORWARD sent me somebleary xeroxes which revealedthat The Wild Horses have anew 12 -inch single called Let'sGet Married released on the UhHuh label - the group arerather embarrassingly signalledas Dundee's premier cutie band- while Men Of Courage havetheir debut seven-incher releasedon the Far Out label and it's call-ed Cold Winter. Moving swiftlydown to East Anglia, Backs seemto have a temporary plug in its

Bhangra releases and offer theworld a Led Zeppelin picturedisc which was recorded in1973.

D I ACLASSICAL MUSIC looks like becoming a fierce battlegroundfor record companies with WEA keen to establish a presenceand CBS heightening its profile by luring executive vice presi-dent of Deutsche Grammophon Productions Guenter Breestto the company. But any suggestion that Sony/CBS is to buyDG is described as "poppycock" by a PolyGram source ...RCA is playing down the loss of Rick Astley master tapesin the inferno at PWL's Workhouse studio and reckons thedelay to a new album's release will be minimal. The studio'ssoundproofing apparently inhibited the fire such that a clockin the reception area, on the other side of the control roomwall, is still ticking. However, Manfred Mann's tape store wasdestroyed and Coldharbour Records' offices damaged ...Wearing his presenter's hat (rather than a fireman's), PeteWaterman is keen to hear of "brand new talent" for his latenight Hitman TV show. "I find it amazing that record companiesaren't being more co-operative - I'm having to go out andbuy records that they won't send me," he says ... Sufferincthe effects of hurricane Gilbert is Island boss Chris Blackwewhose house on Jamaica - Ian Fleming's old haunt GoldenEye - is under water ... Having considered alternative venuesas far flung as Edinburgh and Croydon, Jean Michel Jarrewas, at press time, being given another chance to satisfy safetyconsiderations and play his extravaganza in London's dock -lands after all ... Couldn't happen to a nicer chap: corporatepublicity chief Jonathan Morrish has been made a directorof CBS, reflecting for a change the value of good PR...THERE ARE two BPI schools of thought on the profile of nextyear's Brit Awards: one urges an upbeat image full ofrazzamatazz, while the other opts for a lower key approach,aiming to get right away from the "fat cat" showbiz stigma.One thing is for sure - Tim Blackmore won't be involvedin producing the show "as I had originally expected and hadpreviously been reported" and we don't think he's too chuffedabout that ... Mark Booth's attempt to run two companiesat once seems to be drawing to a close. The Maxwell Com-munications Corporation chief has handed in his resignationat MTV ... Product manager Dwayne Welch (son of Bruce),who is leaving EMI after nine years to join Fish -less Marillion'smanagement, brought tears to several eyes (honest) with amoving sales conference valediction . Getting the red carpettreatment among 25 presentations in two days at Pinnacle'ssales conference, PWL's Tilly Rutherford dealt with criticismthat the company's huge selling singles may not have a surplusof depth or emotion, saying: 'Were in the pop business -we don't care" ... At PolyGram's Eastbourne thrash, sales di-rector Pete Rezon reviewed the year in retailing by saying:"Virgin has lost most of its mates at retail level, Smiths/OurPrice cannot quite decide how big its market share is" andpointed out that Entertainment UK's initials spell "EUK".
