EDITORIAL The Big Apple Has Appeal

Two recent developments, the establishment of a Music Task Force by Manhattan borough president Stein and the formation of Ron Alexen- burg's Infinity Records, prove that New York City is still a viable music center.

In an attempt to offset the music industry's migra- tion to the west coast, Stein is making a concerted effort through two committees to generate attention to the Big Apple's musical heritage and future. Stein is enlisting many of the city's music leaders to participate in a long-range goal of establishing "Music Center New York," a central facility for people involved in the composition and production of contemporary music.

Alexenburg, formerly with New York -based CBS

Records, decided to setup headquarters for his new company in NYC despite the fact that the parent corporation for Infinity is MCA, Inc., which is based on the west coast. While spending some four months finalizing a name and hiring national, regional and local personnel, Infinity appears to be a label to watch.

Considering Infinity's highly -regarded staff, an eclectic, but small roster of artists and Alexenburg's very successful track record, the company should be full of surprises.

We at Cash Box extend a gesture of good luck to both Infinity and the city of New York in their musical venture.

A&M Black Music Success Leads To New Label Focus

by Charles Paikert NEW YORK - A&M Records' burgeoning success with black music product, as recently underscored by the platinum certification of L.T.D.'s album "Togetherness," has led the company to further expand its special projects division and to devote greater attention to black music.

Two months ago, a new black marketing position was created; Derry Johnson was named national manager of black music marketing. In addition, A&M will also inaugurate the services of a full-time black music publicist in January. Commenting on the rapid growth of A&M's black music services, Al Edmunson, director of the company's special projects division, predicted that within three years A&M would likely have "a total, full -service black division."

Only four years ago, A&M had virtually no credentials in the contemporary black market, aside from the jazz and soundtrack success of Quincy Jones. Today, however, the company can boast of hit albums and singles by L.T.D. and the Brothers Johnson, and an expanded black -oriented roster that includes Atlantic Starr, Thom Bell, Les

CBS v. ASCAP & BMI Case Taken By Supreme Court

by Joanne Ostrow WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Supreme Court last week agreed to review a lower court ruling in the eight year old CBS, Inc. v. ASCAP and BMI case which held that the blanket licensing practices of the two performing rights societies violate federal antitrust statutes. Blanket licenses are currently negotiated by ASCAP and BMI with broadcasters and other users for a fixed annual fee to perform any or all members' copyrighted work.

In August 1977, the second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that the offering of blanket licenses by the two music licensing organizations to the TV networks is unlaw- ful price fixing and misuse of copyrights. The arguments presented in opposition by BMI and ASCAP, in simplest terms, were that blanket licensing is the most convenient method of licensing and that they exert no control over the market. ASCAP said it is essentially "a cooperative," that "CBS could get licenses from individual ASCAP members if it would only ask."

CBS' brief asking the Supreme Court for review outlined a plan by which network music would be licensed by direct negotiations with publishers - along the lines of mechanical fees, sheet music and perfor-

McCann, and Booker T. Jones. Dual Development

L.T.D., signed to A&M in 1973, has fre- quently been cited as the group whose gradual breakthrough parallels A&M's own growth in the contemporary black area. "We both developed together," said L.T.D.'s Carle Vickers. "We learned about the recording business, and A&M learned a


Continued Interest In Movie Soundtracks Seen On Chart

by Randy Lewis LOS ANGELES - Spearheaded by the sales of three RSO Records two -record sets, the soundtrack album currently is enjoying its greatest popularity in years, with 11 on this week's Top 200 Album chart.

In addition, seven of the 11 soundtracks are multiple record sets and five rest within the first half of the chart, demonstrating not only greater numbers of soundtracks represented but also increasing unit sales on a majority of them.

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" at #8; "Saturday Night Fever" at #17; "Children Of Sanchez" at#31 bullet; "FM" at #96; "The Wiz" at #108 bullet; "Thank God It's Friday" at #109; "Animal House" at #152 bullet; "Battlestar Galactica" at #161 bullet; "Foul Play" at #167; and "Eyes Of Laura Mars" at #168.

Higher Lists The latter four are single albums listing

for $7.98 or $8.98, while the first six are two - record sets ranging between $12.98 and $15.98 in suggested retail price. "Thank God It's Friday" is a three -record set listing for $14.98.

In the October 16, 1976 chart, only

Albert, Andrews And Bearde Create Cash Box TV Series LOS ANGELES - George Albert, president and publisher of Cash Box, television im- presario Ralph Andrews and TV producer Chris Bearde have announced the creation of a "music magazine television series" which will combine music, personalities and behind -the -scenes glimpses of the entertainment industry. The concept of the series originated with Albert, who will serve as executive producer along with Andrews. Bearde will produce and write the 60 - minute network program, now being readied to air.

With the involvement of these three leaders of the entertainment world, expectations are high for the success of the new series.

"Ralph Andrews has had many successful television shows over the years," says Albert, "and he is considered one of the most prominent TV series packagers in the business. Chris Bearde is without doubt one of the top television producers in the world."

Albert will be directly involved in all

creative aspects of the series. "George Albert is a legend in this

business," says Bearde, "and by utilizing his knowledge and expertise, we will produce a unique television series."

"Like Cash Box magazine, the series will go where the music takes it," says Albert. "We will expose and enhance the growth of new talent while also expanding the potential of the music business by taking the industry closer to the public.

MCA's "Car Wash" soundtrack was in the Top 200, although one year earlier there were again six soundtracks on the chart (two were original cast LPs from Broadway plays). In October 1974, only three soundtracks made it into the Top 200 listing of national albums, one of which, "The Sting," was in the upper 100 of the chart.

Only in looking back five years ago, to October 13, 1973, can a comparable number of soundtracks be found, when there were 10. But in that year, seven of those were in the lower 101-200 range.

`Fever' & `Grease' Now #1 And 2 LPs In History-Coury

LOS ANGELES - As the soundtrack from "Saturday Night Fever" nears unit sales of 30 million worldwide and "Grease" ap- proaches 10 million domestically, RSO Records president Al Coury says the label now lays claim to the number one and two top -grossing albums of all time.

Coury also told Cash Box he predicts sales of "Grease" will surpass those of "SNF" by the end of this year, stating that "Grease" continues to sell at a faster rate than its predecessor for comparable periods.

The success of these two soundtracks, coupled with the five million units he says the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" soundtrack has sold, has resulted in a number of independent movie producers offering their soundtracks to RSO.

"I've turned down between four and six soundtracks in the last six months," Coury said. "We've become well-known in the movie industry as well as in the music community as experts in marketing and selling records.

Ocean Pacts With Ariola Records As 1st Custom Label

by Joey Berlin LOS ANGELES - Ariola Records has signed on Ocean Records as its first custom label. Ocean, which will have offices in New York and Los Angeles, is headed by Marc Kreiner and former RCA and Buddah promotion chief Tom Cossie. The first release under the new arrangement is expected in January.

Kreiner and Cossie are best known for the disco successes of MK Produc- tions/Dance Promotions. The disco production company has handled such records as Chic's platinum single, "Dance, Dance, Dance," as well as all of Ariola's disco promotion. MK has provided Ariola with two acts, Chanson and Linda Evans.

"Custom labels are not part of our program," says Scott Shannon, Ariola's senior vice president, "but we made this deal because we believe in the people behind Ocean. We are not in the market for more custom labels.

K mart Pilot Program Seen As Sign Of Things To Come

by Leo Sacks NEW YORK - Record buyers for the nation's leading discount chain stores and their suppliers last week discussed some of the implications surrounding the expansion of K mart's record departments in three of its midwestern stores (Cash Box, Sept. 30).

Within the past 12 months, K mart has enlarged the square footage in its Kansas City, Detroit and Chicago record outlets by as much as 50 percent as part of its ex- perimental "store -within -a -store" concept. Each of the stores involved in the program now carries a full line of records, and though plans for the expansion of future K

mart stores are still in the formative stages, the chain has been very encouraged by the results so far, according to John Kaplan, executive vice president of the Handleman Company, which supplies K mart.

Impact The impact of K mart's increased

emphasis on its record departments was debated by a number of industry executives in a Cash Box survey. While several individuals who have been following the chain's growth praised K mart for its initiative, others argued that it was only now "awakening" to the benefits of full line selection. Sources also indicated that the chain might be using its record departments as loss leaders to bring consumers into their stores, but Kaplan discounted this notion. He stated that the increased square footage in the involved stores was based upon an availability of space that had not been profitable in the past.

Though record buyers at Sears, Woolworth, and Montgomery Ward indicated that their respective companies do not plan to enlarge their record departments at present, they would not rule out the possibility of expansion in the future.

Sears Eyes Growth Warren Schulstadt, national record

buyer for Sears, said that he would like to see the chain incorporate a full line selec-

Schwartz Named As Manufacturing V.P. For C B S NEW YORK - Howard Schwartz has been appointed vice president of CRU Manufac- turing Services for CBS Records. In his new position, Schwartz will be responsible for directing the activities of all CRU engineer- ing, quality control, warehousing, research and development, and production control.

Engineer Schwartz joined CBS Records in 1962 as

an industrial engineer. He became manager of quality control in 1964, and in

1969 was promoted to director of engineer- ing. Schwartz most recently served the label as director of manufacturing.

tion into its 760 record departments. However, he said that the size of the company's record outlets were determined by the volume of the individual store, so that "in many cases we just don't have the room to expand."

He did emphasize that Sears' recent switch to a rack concept, and the "tremendous" sales growth that has resulted could lead to "an increased emphasis in the space we allot to our outlets in the near future."

Commenting on K mart's 3,000 -square - foot record department at its French Market store in Kansas City, Schulstadt noted that "a development like this certainly helps the industry as a whole. If they're willing to devote the space, the inventory, and the personnel, it's healthy all the way around, because if you're going to develop a strong industry, you have to have operations such as this."

Charles Staley, national music buyer for the Woolworth chain, said that his company does not plan at present to expand beyond its existing size. But he revealed that three of the chain's Woolco locations in Delaware had previously experimented with the cir- cular feature table now used by K mart in its French Market store. Staley said that the fixture, which is five feet in diameter with 12 -inch pockets, was abandoned because it proved "inefficient from a productivity standpoint."

EMI/Private Stock Set Distrib. Pact To Include U.K. LOS ANGELES - Private Stock and EMI Records have signed a long-term, world wide licensing agreement exclusive of North America. A revision of the 1974 agreement between the two companies, the new deal marks the first time EMI has represented Private Stock in the U.K. Effec- tive immediately, the pact, which calls for a seven figure advance for Private Stock was negotiated by Larry Uttal, president of Private Stock and Leslie Hill, chairman of EMI Records U.K.

Previously, EMI distributed Private Stock world-wide with the exceptions of North America where the label has independent distribution and the U.K. where Private Stock maintained an office and handled its own distribution. Under the terms of the new agreement, Private Stock will reduce its staff in England while maintaining a

general manager and Fredrick Noel to handle international promotion.

A forthcoming announcement is expected to detail changes in Private Stock's domestic distribution.

FCC Bows $33 Mil B'cast Refund Plan WASHINGTON, D.C. - Broadcasters can expect to share a $33 million refund from the FCC once a method for doling out the money is developed. While refunds of more than $90 million from all the industries the commission regulates are being worked out, a new fee schedule based in part on spectrum use will also be hatched.

The FCC long ago undertook to determine how much of the $163 million in fees it received between 1970 and 1976 was collected illegally. The courts overturned the original FCC fee schedule and returns were supposed to begin in September. The deadline is now projected for January, 1979, for refunds of fees in excess of $20. (There is a refund request by some 90 parties, including broadcasters, still pending before the U.S. Court of Claims.)

In a notice released last week, the commission asked for comments on proposals for a new fee schedule - those comments are due Jan. 8, 1979. Also, the FCC proposed to set up a special board to con- sider informal appeals or denials of refunds and will hold a public meeting in October to discuss the plan. Comments on the refund program proposals are due Nov. 8.

A breakdown of the $33 million figure, contained in the FCC's table of preliminary estimates, which applies to all broadcasters: $23.1 million of the $24.9 million it received in assignment and transfer fees; $9.1 million of the $10.3 million in television annual fees.

The task of processing claims will cost the commission $169,000 and wil require the services of 67 temporary employees. About $80 million is to be distributed in refunds of $20 or less, after the larger chunks are refunded.

Newton -John LP `Totally Hot' Out In Nov. On MCA LOS ANGELES - MCA Records and Olivia Newton -John have worked out an arrangement whereby MCA can release Newton - John's forthcoming album "pending a

determination of all the legal claims by each side," according to John Mason, Newton - John's lawyer.

With studio recording work completed on the new album entitled "Totally Hot" and the project moving through pre- production, the LP is tentatively scheduled for release in early November. The first single is expected to be "A Little More Love" backed by "Borrowed Time."

In early June, Newton -John and MCA filed separate suits each claiming the other had failed to meet certain conditions of a

recording agreement entered into on April 1, 1975. Newton -John sought to terminate her contract with the label, while MCA sought to enjoin her from negotiating a new contract with any other record company.

In July, MCA was granted a preliminary injunction against the singer, preventing her from pacting with any other label. Un- der the terms of the contract, Newton -John still owes MCA six albums over the next three years.

Vanguard Leaves Pickwick In Cal. LOS ANGELES - Vanguard Records is no longer affiliated with Pickwick Distribution in California. The label is now distributed by two companies, PRT Distribution in northern California and California Record Dist., Inc. in southern California.

Vanguard will continue to be distributed by Pickwick for the Miami, Atlanta and Minneapolis regions, according to a label spokesman.

The spokesman went on to say that the label decided to sign separate distribution pacts because California is too large a state to be covered effectively, from both a sales and promotion standpoint, by a single distributor.

Waylon Jennings is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in country music today with a track record to prove it. Jennings was the first country artist to produce a platinum album. And since the release of that LP Jennings has garnered two more platinum discs to add to his collection, which includes nine gold albums.

Waylon got into the music biz when he was still a child. At age 12 he was a pop disc jockey in his home town, Littlefield, Texas and by 21 he was bassman in the legendary Crickets, the band which backed Buddy Holly. Not much later he was in Nashville recording for RCA and perfecting his own style of music which relied heavily on thum- ping bass lines and out -front guitar leads. It borrowed more from rockabilly than the country music Nashville was producing and Jennings created quite a stir by using his own band in his recording sessions. Jenn- ing's reasoning won out though when "Wanted: The Outlaws" became country music's first paltinum album in 1976. And one year later "01' Waylon" became the first country album to debut at number one.

In recent years, Jennings has become a cult hero with pop audiences and has shared the concert stage with acts as diverse as The Grateful Dead and George Jones.

Jennings' new album on RCA is "I've Always Been Crazy" which currently is #54 on the Cash Box Country chart.

New Faces To Watch

Lorna Wright "It's hard for me to see my lite as making

any sense. I can't see it as a story. There are a lot of fragments and tying it all together in

a couple of sentences is very difficult." So says Rocket Records artist Lorna

Wright whose "fragmented" past seems to have logically led to the release of her first LP as a singer/songwriter, "Circle of Love." Actually, the pieces of Wright's life began to fall into place when she was still a child.

"My whole family is musical," she says. "Although I wasn't pushed into the business, we were always involved and the opportunity was always strongly presented by my mother."

Her first taste of show business was in

television commercials where she remembers eating cereal in front of the camera and bouncing on a pogo stick "for some bread company. I did commercials as a

kid," she says, "but I was really more interested in playing with dolls."

But it wasn't long before dolls took a back seat to music, which became the primary motivating force in her life when, at age 16,

she released her first single, "Dangerous Town," on a small label. Three years later the Wright family moved from their home in Kreskill, New Jersey to take up residence in Los Angeles. It was then that Wright hitched up with "a large singing group like the Christy Minstrels" and started doing session work and touring as a backup singer for acts such as Ann -Margret and Gary Wright (her brother) with whom she toured Europe.

It was less than two years ago, after a

year -long stint doing background vocals with The Babys, that Lorna decided she was ready to launch her solo career.

Wright says she is satisfied with her first solo outing and adds she tries to keep "a commercial sound in the back of my mind when I'm writing. But I try not to let that get in the way of what is coming out. I just write whatever comes to me. I like to write about relationships between people and love." What keeps it interesting? "It keeps changing as my attitudes keep changing."

The Cryers The Cryers are a good example of the old

adage that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Put together four musicians from Mississippi, a hotbed of blues and country music; unite them with a drummer from Queens, not identified with any particular kind of music; put them through a

period of paying dues in New York's CBGB's, Max's circuit, the country's hotbed of punk -rock: and the results, both sur- prisingly and delightfully, is a crisp, clean pop sound, one that could as easily trace its time and place to England in 1966 as Meri- dian, Mississippi in 1976.

The Cryers are composed of Lowry Ham- ner on lead vocals, guitar, piano, and harmonica; Clay Barnes on guitar and backing vocals; Lee Townsend on piano, guitar, tenor sax, lead and background vocals; Tommy Ethridge on bass; and Billy Mintz on drums.

With the exception of Billy, the New Yorker, the other Cryers had known each other for several years before the band was formed. "I'm originally from Texas," says Hamner, "but moved to Gulport, Mis- sissippi about six years ago, where I got my start playing solo and with various bands.

Two years ago, the group decided to move to New York. "We knew we couldn't do anything down there, because there was no outlet. It really boiled down to Los Angeles or New York, and we all decided on New York. We literally packed as much as we could into a van and moved into the Earle Hotel. We had no drummer at the time and got Billy on our first audition. We then auditioned at CBGB's, and people just went crazy."

The group's decision proved beneficial. Their self -titled debut album sparkles with a pop sheen from start to finish and effectively showcases the group's melodic songs, clean harmonies and powerful vocals. Now auditioning for both a manager and an agent, the group collectively con- sider their greatest goal for the near future to simply be able to get out in front of the people and play their music.

Entertainment Co. Follows Through On LPs It Produces

by Ken Terry "I've been in the music business for 17

years, and I'm real realistic," says Charles Koppelman, president of The Entertain- ment Company. "I'm not impatient; I know how long it takes to make a record happen. I also know when somebody isn't working on it. So I think that I have the confidence of those companies that we deal with. And I

know that we'll continue to have their confidence, because we don't ask for anything that is unreasonable. We help them sell a lot of records."

On the wall of Koppelman's midtown Manhattan office hang all the gold and platinum record plaques for albums that have been produced by The Entertainment Company. Among them are Barbara Strei- sand's "Superman," Glen Campbell's "Southern Nights," and Dolly Parton's "Heartbreaker." Altogether, Koppelman estimates, Entertainment Company - produced records have sold 10 million copies in the three years since the firm was formed.

Today, the company has four full-time staff producers who work with 20 artists, including Streisand, Parton, Paul Anka, Cheryl Ladd, Cher, Judy Collins, Lynn An- derson and Dusty Springfield. In addition, the Entertainment Company has a publishing division with its own in-house staff of 15 songwriters, as well as the UA - distributed label, Manhattan Records.

Naturally, Koppelman didn't put together an operation of this scope entirely from

Atlantic Releasing Firefall's Third LP - Half Year Later

by Joey Berlin LOS ANGELES - Last winter the members of Firefall thought their time had come. In its fourth year with two gold albums under its belt, the group had just taken on Mick Fleetwood as its manager, Firefall's third album was almost finished and a national tour was coming up. But things didn't quite pan out.

"We were backed up against the im- pending tour and our producer, Tom Dowd, had to move on to other commitments when we realized the album wasn't just right," recalls Firefall spokesman Rick Roberts. "Mick Fleetwood brought it to our attention - and then he had to quit as our manager around the time his father passed away."

After much debate within the group, the band went back into the studio and postponed the tour. Half a year later, "Elan" has been shipped by Atlantic Records and Roberts calls it "my favorite album out of the 10 I've been involved with as a principal.

"I was the last one to give in to recutting parts of the album," says Roberts, "but it


a F'REFALL'S IN-HOUSE PROMOTION - Fire fall members Larry Burnett (I) and Rick Roberts (r) subtly encourage Atlantic Records president Jerry Greenberg to pull out all the stops for the group's new album, "Elan."

Charles Koppelman scratch. He had considerable financial resources of his own, plus the backing of real estate developer Sam Lefrak, now chairman of the board of The Entertain- ment Company. And, when he, Lefrak and Martin Bandier founded the company, Koppelman had the benefit of 15 years of experience in every aspect of the music industry.

Started With 'You' Koppelman began his career with the Ivy

Three, who had a hit with "Yogi" in 1959. In the early '60s, he worked for Don Kirshner's Aldon Music which, like The Entertainment Company, combined production and publishing under one roof. Then he joined Screen Gems Music and later became a

vice president at Big Seven Music before forming Koppelman-Rubin Associates in

1964 with Don Rubin. Over the next four years, Koppelman-Rubin produced and published a number of hits, including records by the Turtles and the Lovin' Spoonful.

After 1968 Koppelman and Rubin sold their firm in

1968; eventually, it became part of Hudson Bay Music. Koppelman went on to serve as head of April -Blackwood Music, CBS Records' publishing arm, and later became national head of A&R for Columbia Records. Just before starting the Entertain -


Neil Diamond And Streisand Record First Duet Single NEW YORK - Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond have recorded a new duet version of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" that CBS Records will release as a single this week.

The song originally appeared on Dia- mond's "I'm Glad You're With Me Tonight" LP, but when Streisand covered the track on her "Songbird" album, radio programmers at several midwestern stations started pairing the two versions to give the effect that the singers were trading verses.

According to Bob Sherwood, vice president of national promotion for CBS, the song started appearing on Top 40, adult

Cole was fined $1,000 on each of the four counts.

The charges in the case stemmed from seizures of pirated tapes from a stand operated by Cole at the Horse Show in the Houston Astrodome in March, 1977. The FBI had previously seized tapes from stands run by Cole at various flea markets in Houston. The defendant's report to the Texas Sales Tax Office indicated that he had sold approximately $300,000 worth of tapes during 1976 and 1977.

Polydor To Distribute Charisma Records, Minus Genesis, Gabriel NEW YORK - Charisma Records, an English -based company headed by Tony Stratton Smith, has signed an American distribution deal with Polydor Records.

The label's first release, to be distributed by Polydor, will be a new album by Patrick Moraz, due out in November. Other Charisma releases set for Polydor distribution include albums by Peter Hamill; the Hawk Lords, a reformed version of Hawk - wind; Monty Python; and author R.D. Laing. In addition, Stratton Smith announced the signings of Blue Max, Steve Joseph, the Dazzlers, Razar and Barrie Humphries to the label.

"We've wanted to make the move for some time," Stratton Smith commented, "and the catalyst was the arrival of Fred Haayen as head of Polydor in the U.S. He's an exciting and effective record man, and we knew he would remotivate Polydor. We were also very excited about the arrival of Dick Kline at the label."

Phonogram, Inc. has distributed Charisma internationally since the label's inception in 1969 and Stratton Smith added that he had an "excellent working relationship" with Haayen while the latter was managing director of Polydor U.K.

Haayen, in turn, said he felt "fantastic" about the association. "Polydor has gained a valuable addition to its family," he added. A Polydor spokesman said that, while the Charisma deal does not signal a new campaign to sign distributed labels, the move does indicate a desire for Polydor to "con- solidate its international strength."

Peter Gabriel and Genesis, two other Charisma acts, will continue to record for Atlantic Records in the United States. Strat- ton Smith commented that the status of Brand X, currently distributed by Passport in the U.S., is "uncertain."

REVIEWS L B U M REVIEWS

STAGE - David Bowie - RCA CPL2-2913 - Producers: David Bowle and Tony Visconti - List: 11.98

Recorded live from his American tour earlier this year, this two -record set contains material culled primarily from four studio albums: "Heroes," "Station To Station," "Low" and "Ziggy Stardust." Including none of the songs that were featured on his first live album ("David Live"), this package serves as a valuable documentation of Bowie's onstage presentation circa '77. Bolstered by energetic, tight ensemble playing and with Bowie in top vocal form, this album is a highly accessi - ble, rocking collection.

MR. GONE - Weather Report - Columbia JC 35358 - Producer: Josef Zawinul - List: 7.98

Weather Report has long been regarded as one of the most brilliant jazz/rock fusion configurations. Spearheaded by Josef Zawinul and Wayne Shorter, along with Jaco Pastorius, the group has continually explored different textures and themes, blending the exquisite sax work of Shorter, the keyboard magic of Zawinul and Pastorius' pulsing bass runs for a unique musical presentation. "Mr. Gone" may occasionally lack the mainstream appeal of prior group projects, but nonetheless serves as a festive workout.

THE BEST OF JOE WALSH - ABC AA -1083 - Producers: Various - List: 7.98

Throughout his affiliation with ABC, this singer/guitarist/songwriter achieved several hit albums and singles, and the best of his material is included here. Such hits as "Rocky Moun- tain Way," "Walk Away" (from his James Gang days) and "Turn To Stone" highlight this album, which should attract strong sales due to the arrival of the Christmas season and because of Walsh's current success with Elektra/Asylum and the Eagles.

NICOLETTE - Nicolette Larson - Warner Bros. BSK 3243 - Producer: Ted Templeman - List: 7.98

Possessing a sexy, soaring voice and a charismatic personality, Nicolette Larson should be heralded as a top female vocalist in the Linda Ronstadt/Emmylou Harris country -rock sweepstakes. Boasting stellar, crisp production by Ted Tern- pleman, "Nicolette" features such tasty confections as the swinging "Rhumba Girl," the rocking "Can't Get Away From You" and the Motown classic, "Baby Don't You Do It." For a

variety of formats.

VERY BEST OF DAVE MASON - ABC BA -6032 - Producers: Tommy LI Puma and Dave Mason - List: 7.98

This greatest hits collection spotlights Dave Mason's early years as a solo artist, and includes such classic material as

"Feelin' Alright," "Only You Know I Know," "Headkeeper" and "Pearly Queen." This onetime member of Traffic is currently enjoying a peak in popularity, so this package should achieve considerable sales. Fusing his distinctive guitar playing with his pleasant vocals and melodies, Mason remains an influential figure in rock. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA - Original Soundtrack - MCA - 3051 - Producer: Stu Phillips - List: 7.98

With lasers blazing and Cylons closing in fast, the crew of the Battlestar Galactica is racing to the upper reaches of the Nielsen ratings in one of the early hits of the fall television season. Much like recent theatrical space flicks, many of the scenes in the show are heavily dependent upon the music. This soundtrack contains primarily lush, highly -orchestrated in- strumentals, with the exception of "It's Love, Love, Love," which boasts a disco beat and vocals centons ahead of their time.

WINGED HORSES - Matthew Moore - Caribou JZ 35611 - Producer: Robert Appere - List: 7.98

With his first album, Matthew Moore emerges as a promising singer/composer who possesses a resonant tenor voice and a

flair for creating flowing melodies. Moore is a striking performer who is aided here by the able session work of such musicians as

Jim Price, Jim Keltner, Dee Murray and Tom Scott. Consisting mostly of passionate, acoustic guitar -based pop -rock tunes, this LP includes such strong tracks as the single, "Savannah," and "Thinking About You Again." JIM RAFFERTY - London PS 722 - Producers: Gerry Raf- ferty, Jim Rafferty and others - List: 7.98

Comparisons to his brother Gerry are unnecessary because Jim Rafferty's album stands up very well on its own. Consisting of self -penned material by this singer/songwriter, this album boasts bouncy, mainstream pop -rock arrangements plus in- sightful, intelligent lyrics. Mostly produced by brother Gerry and backed by many of Britain's top musicians such as Mel Collins, Graham Preskett and Dave Mattacks, this LP is an inviting AOR and pop effort. JOEY TRAVOLTA - Millennium MNLP 8007 - Producer: John Davis - List: 7.98

On his debut outing, Joey Travolta proves to be a competent pop balladeer who sings 11 songs that feature lush, bright production and arrangements by John Davis. The brother of anotrlbr Travolta who is doing quite well for himself, Joey Travolta pleasantly handles this assortment of tunes by such renown composers as Carole Bayer Sager, Bruce Roberts and Peter Allen. For pop and MOR formats. Contains the single, "I Don't Wanna Go."

CHANGE OF HEART - Eric Carmen - Arista AB 4184 - Producer: Eric Carmen - List: 7.98

With his third album since leaving the Raspberries, Eric Car- men has returned to the polished production and engaging romanticism of his debut solo effort. "Change Of Heart" contains nine songs, most of which exhibit lushly -textured arrangements and smooth, multi -tracked vocals. Including the charted title track single, this LP also features a sleek rendition of the Four Tops' "Baby I Need Your Lovin' " and a moderately -paced version of "Hey Deanie."

NEVER SAY DIE - Black Sabbath - Warner Bros. BSK 3186 - Producers: Black Sabbath - List: 7.98 There must be a reason why some select bands get to

celebrate 10 -year anniversaries as The Sabs recently did. It has to be a chemistry that continues to react strongly and positively to new input from within and without the band. There should also be that ephemeral concept called talent. Black Sabbath has all these qualities and more. Let's let Black Sabbath finally (and rightfully) esconce themselves in rock's Hall of Fame, and let's let them continue to release records of this excellent quality for many years to come.

HEAT IN THE STREET - Pat Travers Band - Polydor PD -1- 6170 - Producer: Jeffrey Lesser - List: 7.98

The bigger -than -life sound of Pat Travers and his guitar is

back for another go 'round on this, his fourth Polydor album. With the exception of three medium tempo cuts, "Heat" is a

non-stop paean to fast, loud and heavier than lead rock 'n' roll. The Marshall amplifier must surely have been invented for Pat Travers. Tracks with AOR in mind are "Killer's Instinct," "I Tried To Believe," "Go All Night" and the title cut.

RED HOT & BLUE - Richard T. Bear - RCA AFL1-2927 - Producer: Jack Richardson - List: 7.98

Richard T. Bear is a fiery, raucous performer who on "Red Hot & Blue" quickly demonstrates his many talents as a singer, songwriter and keyboardist. Bear is a fine vocalist who sings with a rugged, throaty authority that is well suited to his aggressively -styled arrangements. In addition, his feisty piano playing and his rock 'n' roll compositions also merit attention. From the surging ballad, "Pain In My Heart," to the LP's several rockers, this is a highly rewarding debut recording.

STEALIN' HOME - Ian Matthews - Mushroom MRS -5012 - Producers: Ian Matthews and Sandy Roberton - List: 7.98

This is the debut Mushroom album by I. Matthews, the Anglo- American mellow -rocker who once made rock's history books with an outfit of British cowboys called Matthew's Southern Comfort and earlier with the ubiquitous Fairport Convention. Nearly a decade later Matthews can still claim a right to a sizable share of the soft -rock market. Music with an earnest, driving fragility is the gentleman's forte ... matters of the heart his in- dividualistic identity.

FUNK OR WALK - The Brides Of Funkenstein - Atlantic SD

19201 - Producer: George Clinton - List: 7.98 An off -shoot of the Parliament/Funkadelic configuration, this

debut album by the Brides Of Funkenstein is already receiving extensive black contemporary airplay and chart action. Produced by George Clinton, who also composed most of the tunes here, "Funk Or Walk" features the boisterous vocals of Lynn Mabry and Dawn Silva. Overwhelming layers of funky disco rhythms prevail on this effort, plus Clinton's characteristic humor.

GIVE THANKX - Jimmy Cliff - Warner Bros. BSK 3240 - Producers: Bob Johnston and Jimmy Cliff - List: 7.98

With his first album in quite some time, Jimmy Cliff not only reaffirms his position as one of reggae's stalwarts, but explores new and diverse territory within reggae category. As with his earlier works, this LP often displays the anger and rebelliousness of other reggae artists, but it is equally filled with moving romantic numbers. Standout tunes include "She Is A

Woman," "You Left Me Standing by The Door" and the powerful "Bongo Man."

THE REGGIE KNIGHTON BAND - ARC/Columbia JC 35286 - Producer: Roy Thomas Baker - List: 7.98 About to go on tour with 10cc, Reggie Knighton on his second

album continues to produce unique pop -rock compositions that display a fictional cast of Knighton characters and themes, and boosted by the production of Roy Thomas Baker of Queen, Cars and Ian Hunter fame, this album should receive solid AOR and possibly pop airplay. Top tracks include "Breakin' Up In- side," "The King and l," and "Highway Patrol."

TONY BIRD OF PARADISE - Columbia JC 34988 - Producer: John Lissauer - List: 7.98

A native of Central Africa, Tony Bird blends African folk music elements with a contemporary, colorful delivery. This LP

is his second Columbia effort, and features Bird's unusual but expressive vocals plus articulate lyrics which reflect Bird's love for the beautiful lifestyle and land of his home continent. "Nothing But Time" is reminiscent of a Dylan love song, while other tracks such as "Bird Of Paradise" and "She Loves Someone" are also worth investigating.

Music Plus Adds Promo Man To Staff To Work With Labels

by Randy Lewis LOS ANGELES - Southern California's Music Plus retail chain has added a new wrinkle in local record merchandising practices with the appointment of John Parks to the new position of coordinator of promotions.

Lou Fogelman, Music Plus president, said a separate promotion man is necessary because the increasing emphasis placed on promotion by manufacturers has made it virtually impossible for a retail store manager to ade- quately coordinate promotions with the labels and simultaneously take care of the administrative tasks involved with running a store.

'Two Part Store' "Instead of waiting for them (label

promotion people) to come to me," Fogelman said, "I decided to make our Hollywood location like a two-part store. One, I have a store manager who deals with operations on a store level; and two, John Parks, who used to be a store manager and understands the record business, works on a promotion level.

"This way hopefully I will work back toward the manufacturer and provide him with somebody he can go to when he needs

California Anti -Piracy Law Enacted By Brown LOS ANGELES - California Governor Jerry Brown has signed into law a bill that prohibits recording, transporting or selling sounds of a live performance without the permission of the musicians or other artists involved. The law classifies such acts as misdemeanors, subject to fines up to $5,- 000 and six months in jail, or both.

Alice Cooper 45 Slated LOS ANGELES - "How You Gonna See Me Now," the first single by Alice Cooper from his upcoming Warner Bros. album, "From The Inside," is set for release. The single marks the first release from the new writing collaboration team of Cooper with lyricist Bernie Taupin. The duo has written all the titles on the "From The Inside" album, which is scheduled for release in Novem- ber.

Heart Disc Is Gold NEW YORK - "Dog and Butterfly" by Por- trait recording group Heart has been certified gold.

particular help," Fogelman said. Plans To Expand

While Parks will at first concentrate his efforts at the chain's Hollywood store, Fogelman said he hopes to extend the program so Parks will work individually with each of the Music Plus' 16 other stores. After the first of the year, Parks will begin dividing his time among all Music Plus outlets to give the same specialized attention to promotion he is giving the Hollywood store.

The biggest problem Fogelman said he felt was a lack of direct communication on a regular basis with most manufacturers' promotion reps. This is because he usually deals with sales branches in placing orders and sending returns, rather than a lapel's main office where promotion staffs usually are based.

"With Columbia, for example, I always deal with their Encino sales branch. I never deal with Century City (headquarters). Yet I

have Century City people coming into my store all the time. I decided it would sure be a lot better if I had a guy who could com- municate directly with Century City. He has a reason to now because he's my promo -


Plans Set For NECAA 19th Nat. Convention LOS ANGELES - Campus activities programmers, representing nearly 500 colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada, will meet Feb. 14-18, 1979 in Kansas City, Missouri for the 19th NECAA National Convention.

BREAKING NEWS - Here's a hot one. Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, and Gene Clark, three of the original Byrds, have been signed to Capitol, and will have an album out in February. Reports are that the trio's new material will range from country -rock to straight out basic no -frills rock and roll. Should be real interesting to see what happens. SPECIAL EVENTS - To inaugurate their new company, Tut Productions, Brian Wallach and Russ Perri threw one of the most elaborate and spectacular parties the island of Manhattan has seen in quite a while. The setting was the spacious Paradise Garage in the West Village, and the theme of the evening was - you guessed it - Egypt as it was in the time of Tut. Gold and hieroglyphics abounded, and there was even a dazzling production number, featuring actor and model Sterling Saint Jacques. At one weird point in the even-

ing, slides of the U.S.A. were shown on every wall, and when the Statue of Liberty came on, the macho men and chic ladies in the crowd burst forth with an array of sparklers. But the party was intended to serve as an example of what Tut Produc- tions intends to do - and that is, in Wallach's words, to "open a new field of entertainment by giving a show that the audience is a part of." This entertainment is primarily geared for promotional parties, and Wallach says that Tut will take care of every detail from catering to cleaning up. Just what party -giving records companies need! SPECIAL EVENTS, PART Il - Chris Spedding headlined at Max's last week, and what a show it was - with the likes of John Gale and Robert Gordon getting up to jam, along with Spedding's band, con-

sisting of Rob Stoner, Howie Wyeth, and Henry Gross. Spedding, clad in classic rocking black leather, did material from his solo albums, as well as hits like "Walk, Don't Run" by the Ventures, "Wild In The Streets" by Garland Jeffries, and "Pablo Pia Picasso" by Jonathan Richman. The Gale-Spedding guitar duet was one of the show's highlights, as Spedding took full advantage of his last chance to go wild before he joins Gordon's new band, the Wild Cats, who, by the way, will be at the Lone Star in late October.

T A L N T Bosto n lack Sabbath Van Halen

ANAHEIM STADIUM, CA - The final day of the 1978 concert season at "The Big A" was a day filled with records. The 57,000 -plus fans produced a $710,000 -plus gross and sat in 100 -plus degree weather for nine - plus hours of music.

But even with the record attendance, record gate and record heat, it was the music that the fans were talking about after the show.

By the time Boston walked on stage around 11:30, a large portion of the primarily teenaged crowd had been there almost half the day. But they showed no signs of fatigue in the ovation they gave to the Epic group's 90 -minute set.

Based around Tom Scholz' unique lead/rhythm guitar work, the five -piece outfit's sound comes across as accessible and inviting live as it does on vinyl. Throughout the show, the band's members stuck to musical business, offering little in the way of flash or histrionics.

But with such songs as "More Than A Feeling," "Long Time" and the current "Don't Look Back," Scholz and company proved themselves to be excellent pop song craftsmen as well as concert performers.

Black Sabbath, by comparison, gave the audience plenty of show from the beginning, when the quartet burst on stage mark- ing its 10th year as a performing group.

Both their presentation of Black Sabbath classics from past years and the songs previewed from the group's first album in two years, "Never Say Die," confirmed its position as one of the leaders in the heavy metal category.

Van Halen, reviewed here recently, may have stolen the "flash" award of the day by parachuting on stage. At least, the announ- cer said it was Van Halen. Although the identities of the parachutists were never made clear, there was no doubt about who was behind the instruments once the group took the stage. Led by Edward Van Halen's stunning lead guitar work, this "local band makes good" showed it is worthy of its recently acquired fame.

Sammy Hagar kicked off the main portion of the concert with a solid set which probably boosted local sales of his recent Capitol live album. An exciting vocalist and energetic performer, Hager drew an impressive response even though he was in the tough opening slot.

Bette Midler

PALLADIUM, LONDON - When Bette Midler walked on stage at the official opening night of her first -ever London performances, expectations were running high. They were never lowered. She immediately raised pulse -rates and proceeded to set the audience alight, launching into her opening number, "Friends," with all the Midler- verve that has made this lady one of Amer- ica's top performing artists.

She demanded everyone's total un- diluted attention, squeezing every last laugh, clap, and cheer, out of the audience - while delivering energy back with sheer high -camp. With the theatrical panache of a Judy Garland/Bette Davis/Sophie Tucker spirit, - all rolled into one, Midler performed a mixture of put-down jokes, blue

humor, tear -jerking ballads, '50s rock 'n' roll and '40s jazz tunes.

During the first half of the three-hour show, Miss M sang some of her standards which included; "In The Mood," a medley- "Uptown/Da Doo Ron Ron," "Stay With Me" and "Leader Of The Pack." She signed -off for the interval as a fading third-rate nightclub singer dressed as a mermaid, who cheekily presents a frightful, - "Revue Tropicana" from an electric powered wheel -chair covered with palms, coconuts and fish nets.

Throughout the second half of the show Midler continued to strut, sing, shock, abuse and satirize herself and the audience. She entirely lived -up to the self - penned definition of her show as being, - "Trash with Flash" and "Sleaze with Ease." At the same time she poured all her vocal force into "Lullaby Of Broadway," "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "Ready To Begin Again/Do You Wanna Dance" and "Dr. Long John." She toned her energy down to run through the stand -still comedy routine with the "Soph" jokes and then ran up levels again to deliver "I Shall Be Re- leased," "Chapel Of Love," and ending with her intro song, "Friends." nick underwood

Diana Ross

UNIVERSAL AMPHITHEATRE, L.A. - Diana Ross augmented her recent Amphitheatre appearance with some very elaborate staging that included a taped greeting from the singer, broadcast via a helicopter hovering overhead and a motion picture sequence that turned into the real thing as Ross stepped forward from the rear of the stage. Though the staging was certainly an interesting sight, in the end it was her superb vocalizing and powerful stage presence that drew the crowds' enthusiastic response.

Unfortunately because of technical difficulties, her lips were out of synch with the record as she emerged from the screen, which would certainly take away from the imaginary wonderland that was trying to be created.

Dripping in sequins and furs from head to toe, she looks exactly like the legend that Motown has created, and performs with all the professionalism of a seasoned star, with a little something extra. Diana seems to have attained that magic that makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time.

Just at a time when you begin to think you've seen and heard it all too many times before, she belts out "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Reach Out And Touch," "Love Hangover," her songs from "Lady Sings The Blues," not to leave out a medley of old Supremes hits. Then suddenly the lights faded and billows of smoke surround her as she talks to an imaginary Scarecrow, Lion, Toto and the Tin Man as she eases into "Ease On Down The Road," "Can't You Feel A Brand New Day" and "If You Believe In Yourself."

The show itself was obviously well planned and genuinely innovative, and Diana's performance was of a caliber that left you wanting for nothing more. cookie amerson

eals & Crofts

Exile

GREEK THEATRE, L.A. - Jim Seals and Dash Crofts have been together playing music for a long time. Twenty years of

melodies and harmonies. The duo's recent date at the Greek was a stylish display of new music from the duo's latest album "Takin' It Easy" and a recapturing of past hits.

The set of the show was a direct take-off from the cover photo of the new album. A stately Southern mansion with tall columns provided the backdrop of the evening's reverie. Seals and Crofts, both dressed in formal whites and wearing hats, appearing to loll on the lawn while the band, dressed obsequiously in matching uniforms, provided the musical muscle from the garden. With the spotlights riveted on Seals and Crofts throughout the evening and the band presented merely as necessary musical support, the show had a strong Las Vegas feel. The use of medleys to convey many of the duo's greatest hits also made the show slick and sweet. Songs such as "Diamond Girl," "Summer Breeze," "Hum- mingbird," "Closer To You" and "You're The Love" offered tastes of Seals and Croft's unique harmonies which have been the duo's trademark.

Exile scored a number one record with the astutely produced "Kiss You All Over." Mike Chapman who co -wrote and produced the group's album "Mixed Emo- tions" deserves a lot of credit for Exile's success. Although "Kiss You" was the musical highlight of the evening, Exile failed to capture the audience's devotion. J.P. Pennington is a fine guitarist. He should also be the group's lead vocalist. Jimmy Stokley, who is the group's lead singer, has a limited range which restricts his emotional expression. Competent musicians, Exile has a considerable distance to go to perfect their live show. peter hartz

Henry Mancini Jose Feliciano

HOLLYWOOD BOWL, L.A. - In one of the most compatable pairings of the outdoor concert season, composer/conductor Henry Mancini and guitarist/vocalist Jose Feliciano teamed up for a delightful evening of contemporary pop music. Backed by the L.A. Philharmonic, both men relied on a blend of old and new material obviously dear to the soldout crowd at the Hollywood Bowl.

Feliciano opened with the catchy theme he wrote for the television show "Chico and the Man." In addition to accompanying himself on guitar, he was joined by an effective rhythm section that included Marcus Terry on drums, Rush Robinson on keyboards and Ted Arnold on bass.

Feliciano's diverse musical influences were best showcased on an original composition called "Disco Flam." As the title implies, the song features traditional flamingo melodies over a throbbing disco beat and shifting rock rhythms. And it was the perfect vehicle for Feliciano's dynamic guitar work. His soulful, blues -tinged vocals, on the other hand, rang true on "Tai"in' It To The Streets" and "Light My Fire."

Mancini built his set around a series of medleys spotlighting his familiar scores for television and movies as well as popular ballads such as "Moon River" and "Days Of Wine And Roses." He started off in a pop - disco vein with "Symphonic Soul" and Van McCoy's "African Symphony," before moving to a medley which highlighted four decades of film music with tunes by various composers including Elmer Bernstein ("Man With the Golden Arm"), Monty Nor- man ("James Bond Theme") and John Williams ("Star Wars").

Throughout the set Mancini conducted

the orchestra with flair and style, often prefacing the songs with witty and infor- mative asides. He also arranged all the music in the second half of the program, which showed yet another side of his multi- faceted talent. Finally, his selection of guest soloists - saxophonist Don Menza on "The Pink Panther" and bassist Abe Laboriel on "Peter Gunn" - showed that he is an astute judge of talent who takes care to match the right musician with the right song.

arl Perkins Juice Newton

WHISKY A GO GO, L.A. - In a time when "revival" shows often offer the only chance of seeing some of the legendary 1950s rock figures, most of whom just go through the motions of re-creating their hits, Carl Perkins doubly reassured his audience that "01' Blue Suedes Is Back" - for real.

Backed by an aggressive four -piece band (which included two of his sons), Perkins showed he not only remembers what it was like to rock 'n' roll, but that he can still do it with as much spirit as ever.

Part of the famous "million dollar quartet" which consisted of one-time Sun Records artists Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash, Perkins proved he is still in fine shape, both vocally and in- strumentally, by rocking his way through a number of 1950s classics. He retains his characteristic, slightly throaty voice and the ability to accentuate lines and individual words with crisp, hard phrasing.

While many of the songs were "golden oldies," Perkins introduced a new song, "Miss Misunderstood," from his forthcoming Jet album which shows promise as a single. It is a bluesy rocker along the line of those that have done so well in the past for Presley and Jerry Lee.

Juice Newton opened the show with a set which, much like her latest Capitol album, continues her shift from country -rock to a straighter rock style.

Dave And Sugar Steve Warriner

LONE STAR CAFE, NEW YORK CITY - Performing before a full house in a set that was broadcast live over WHN radio, RCA recording artists Dave and Sugar delivered both established and new country material. The group's polished, uptempo show climaxed with their current "Tear Time" smash, the number 4 single this week on Cash Box Country charts.

Although the group works well on stage, it's evident that direction for their set comes from Dave. On "I'm A Steamroller Baby," his emotional vocals made this song the night's highlight. Working with a female pianist, who was backing up vocals with both organ and piano, Dave took control on "I'm Gonna Love You" and thanked the audience for making it a hit record for them.

"Knee Deep In Loving You" and a cover of Bonnie Tyler's "It's A Heartache" were two other songs that the audience readily accepted.

Exhibiting stage presence and poise, vocalist Steve Warriner created immediate interest by performing a song he had written for Bob Luman called "He's Got A Way With Women." Warriner is certainly an artist to watch.

Gibb's "Shadow Dancing" album has spawned two hit singles and this third outing ought to com- mand the attention of pop programmers. With gentle keyboards, strings, an easy beat and harmonies by the Brothers, this is a fine Top 40 add. Smooth rolling chorus.

JOE COCKER (Elektra/Asylum E-45540) Fun Time (2:35) (Marsaint Music - BMI) (A. Toussaint)

Joe Cocker has one of the most memorable voices in rock 'n' roll. With a new record company (E/A) and a new album, "Luxury You Can Afford," Cocker is prepared for a resurgence. This song has funky keyboards, rhythm guitars, horns, percussion touches, soulful backing vocals and Cocker's excellent ramblings. Fine Top 40 add.

RICK JAMES (Gordy/Motown G 7162F) Mary Jane (3:49) (Jobete Music - ASCAP) (R. James)

This second single from the "Come Together" album is already making numbers on the R&B chart and its easy funky and bright arrangement of keyboard, backing vocals, flute and guitar make it a good candidate for Top 40 action. Popping bass and several hooks give it a good shot.

GLEN CAMPBELL (Capitol P-4638) Can You Fool (3:08) (Royal Oak Music/Windstar Music - ASCAP) (M. Smotherman)

Taken from the "Basic" album, this first single is about doing everything you can but not being able to forget that special woman. Easy pace and gentle build to the chorus are highlighted by electric piano, acoustic guitar lines and fine lead singing by Campbell. Top 40 material.

PETER, PAUL & MARY (Warner Bros. 8684) Like The First Time (3:48) (Silver Dawn - ASCAP/ATV Music/Mann & Weil Song - BMI) (P. Yarrow/C. Weil/B. Mann)

The lyric of this first single from the "Reunion" album captures the unique coming together of this legendary trio. Gentle piano work, trade-off lead vocals and a broad string arrangement make this track a good bet for MOR, AC and other pop formats.

SARAH DASH (Kirshner/CBS ZS8 4278) Sinner Man (3:18) (Don Kirshner - BMI) (R. Hegel/C. George)

This single from Dash's namesake album is a

disco natural with good potential for pop and R&B exposure. Ticking guitar, solid dancing beat and strings and Dash's excellent lead vocals make this track a good add. A sax solo and horn arrangement adds texture.

GENYA RAVAN (20th Century TC -2384) Jerry's Pigeons (3:29) (Fox Fanfare Music/14th Floor Music - BMI) (Ravan/Giodano/Cola)

Ravan's "Urban Desire" has attracted AOR interest. This second single shows why. Finger snapping beat, razzy piano, solid guitar work, 50ish arrangement with high -power updates make this a good add for pop radio. The chorus has a unique humor. Fine lead and backing singing.

GARY TANNER (20th Century TC -2388) Roses & Moonbeams (3:31) (Dar-Jen Music/Fox Fanfare Music - BMI) (G. Tanner)

Tanner made the chart recently with his stark yet beautiful version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." This new track confirms Tanner's talent. An elegant song, this single has an "open" arrangement of piano, strings and gentle beat and appropriately introduced harpsichord and sax fills. Suited to MOR, AC and pop lists.

SINGLES TO WATCH BOBBY CALDWELL (Clouds/TK11) What You Won't Do For Love (3:30) (Ann Holloway Sherlyn Pub./Lindseyanne Music - BMI) (Caldwell/Kettner)

BAY CITY ROLLERS (Arista AS 0360) Where Will I Be Now (3:28) (Goeff & Eddie Music- Adm. by Blackwood Music - BMI) (C. East)

This first single from the new "Hollywood Party Tonight" album is about being single again and back in circulation.

PEACHES & HERB (Polydor PD 14514) Shake Your Groove Thing (3:39) (Perren-Vibes Music - ASCAP) (D. Fekaris/F. Perren)

Taken from the album "2 Hot," this single is destined for considerable disco play. With handclap and woodblock beat, punctuating horns, ticking rhythm guitar paralleled by strings and good vocals make this a

good bet for various lists. BILLIE HAYS (MCA 7924E) Satisfaction (2:59) (Atco Music - BMI) (Jagger/Richards)

A remake of the classic by the Stones, this song has a gritty, tough edge which gives it an authentic feel. Hays has passion and power in her vocals. The guitars provide solid muscle. Already attracting some interest in the northwest, this is a good add to Top 40 lists. GEORGE SOULE & AVA ALDRIDGE (MCA 40958) I Hate The Way I Love It (3:22) (Dick & Don Music/Big Hair Music - BMI) (A. Aldridge)

Who George and Ava are is unknown but there is no doubt that they are fine singers and this is a powerful song. The duo trade off lead vocals and come together for a towering chorus. Piano, strings, backing singers, and strong rhythms make this a fine Top 40, MOR/AC add. BRENT MAGLIA (Fantasy F-835) The Runaway (2:57) (Warner-Temerlane Pub./Road Cannon Music - BMI) (D. O'Keefe)

JESSE COLIN YOUNG (Elektra/Asylum E-45530) Rave On (3:00) (MPL Comm. - BMI) (S. West/B. Tilgham/N. Petty)

"American Dreams" is the name of Young's new album and this re -make of the Buddy Holly classic has a high- stepping beat, rough sax solo and guitar lines reminiscent of the 50s. Young's vocals and the female support are attractive. Suited to Top 40 lists.

DAVID CHRISTIE (Tom n' Jerry/Salsoul T7 6006) Back Fire (3:05) (ASCAP) (J. Robinson/J. Bolden)

This title song is suited to disco, R&B and pop lists. The arrangement features upfront bass line, ringing guitars, horns and good lead and harmony vocals. Mid -song talk includes fire dept. talk and siren. Moderate dancing beat.

ROUNDTREE (Warner Bros. IS 8646) Get On Up (3:43) (Darian Music - BMI) (K. Lehman/S. Boston/G. Covington)

Attracting R&B action, this track has funky guitar fills and solid dancing beat with strings soaring overhead and horns marching along with the simple yet effective female vocals. A rhythm break smooths the groove. Suited to pop lists, isco and R&B action.

DAVID COVERDALES WHITESNAKE (UA -X1240 -Y) Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City (3:28) (AB Music - ASCAP) (M. Price/D. Walsh)

Taken from the"Snakebite" album, this first single is a moderate but muscular rocker with slowly swirling guitar lines, rippling bass, orban backing and gritty lead vocals with good backing support. Aggressive yet under control, this track is suited to Top 40 action.

TOM WAITS (Elektra/Asylum E-45539) Somewhere (3:50) (G. Schirmer/Chappell & Co. ASCAP) (S. Sondheim/L. Bernstein)

Taken from "West Side Story," this track has a sweep- ing string intro which accompanies Waits' grumbling crooning. Waits is without doubt one of the most original interpreters and this old song is given new life. Nice trumpet break.



RADIO NEWS Airplay

NOTHING BUT THE BEST - Big things were expected óf former WRVR/New York PD Dennis Waters when he went over to NBC's FM outlet in the Big Apple, WYNY. While Waters will be implementing a "mature album rock format" just before the October/No- vember ARBs begin, he has managed to stir things up on the New York radio scene by switching to an "All -Beatles" format for two weeks immediately preceding the Arbitron sweep period. Initial street reaction has been outstanding, and AP even sent the story of the format switch out over its wire.

"I've wanted to do 'All -Beatles' for years," says Waters. "It's one of those things that programmers always talk about during late -night rap sessions, but I actually got a chance to do it. It's just a little something to let the listeners know we're out there, and it's worked. Our phones have been incredible."

Along with some unusual programming ideas, Waters also brought the WRVR morning team over to WYNY, which is no longer referred to as Y97. Les Davis and Roberta Altman are now the WYNY morning team. NETWORK NEWS - CBS Radio has announced plans to launch the one -hour weeknightly Sears Radio Theatre on Feb. 5. The shows will feed at 7:08 and 9:08 with four minutes of local spots and six minutes for Sears. CBS will soon celebrate the fifth anniversary of its precedent setting Mystery Theatre ... Meanwhile, NBC Radio has announced plans to air 984 programs covering the action before and during the 1980 Olympics from Moscow. The series will begin Jan. 2, 1979 and run through the closing ceremonies Aug. 3, 1980. STATION TO STATION - Here's some news from the gutter. KORY/Sacramento facilities were devastated last week when a sewage line broke and forced all station personnel to abandon ship. At press time the station was still off the air ... WKTK-FM/Baltimore, under the direction of PD Lou Krieger, has switched from album oriented rock to a contemporary disco/rock format. The station features a floating playlist of 50-70 titles including selected

album cuts ... On Oct. 15, KSAN/San Francisco will present the 1978 Green- peace Skate & Walk -A -Thon at Golden Gate Park. The proceeds will go to two yearly campaign/expeditions, the Whale Campaign, where a Greenpeace ship is

sent out to physically interfere with the whaling and the Seal Campaign, where Greenpeace members go to the seal hunt sites and physically interfere with the destruction of baby seals.

Globetrotting Race Combined, Pulitzer Captures Listeners To Swap Stations MILWAUKEE - "The Great Race of '78 .. .

Round The World" has been won by WISN disc jockey Steve York. The promotion conducted by the two Hearst sister stations in Milwaukee sending York and WPLX disc jockey Jim McBean on a race in opposite directions around the world was one of the most successful in the city's history, according to the director of creative services for the two stations, Tom Sprtel.

York completed his trip in 266 hours, 40 minutes and 28 seconds. The stations in- vited listeners to guess how long the trip would take and the winning entry was only one minute and 42 seconds off. More than 3,000 entries were received during the four days of the contest.

Sprtel says that McBean lost the race in Istanbul, when he was thrown in jail for violating curfew while crossing the Bosporus. McBean made a game effort to catch up when he was released from jail, but an Asian typhoon proved fatal to his chances of winning the race.

York had his share of difficulties, too. He had to take a picture at the Chinese -Hong Kong border and was almost captured by a Chinese border patrol.

FM Listenership Grows NEW YORK - An Arbitron study of the April/May radio sweep for the top 10 metro markets finds FM listening up five percent over last year. Since Arbitron's first analysis of the relationship between AM and FM shares in 1970, FM listening has increased 133 percent.

FM listening increased over last year in all Arbitron markets except Los Angeles, where it dropped two percent. Dallas -Fort Worth and Washington,D.C. continue to have the greatest share of FM listening with 57.7 and 58.4 percent respectively.

KQKK To Debut Dec. 1

LOS ANGELES - Fulltime radio station KQKK-FM will debut on Dec. 1 at 97FM to a

potential audience of more than half a

million listeners in central California. Based in Manteca, KQKK will serve the areas of Stockton, Modesto, Stanislaus County and the northern San Joaquin Valley with an adult contemporary and modern country format. Station president Jack McFadden, best known for his OMAC Agency and as manager for Buck Owens and Ava Barber, is currently negotiating with radio personnel for key staff positions. The station telephone number is (805) 393-1000.

ST. LOUIS - Combined Communications Inc. and Pulitzer Publishing Co. have reached an agreement in principle for the exchange of radio properties in St. Louis and Phoenix. The deal calls for a swap of Combined's Phoenix stations KTAR and KBBC-FM in return for Pulitzer's KSD in St. Louis.

Combined will now have a strong foothold in St. Louis, with adult/contemporary KSD joining KCFM in the Combined chain, pending FCC approval. By trading two stations for one, Combined also will be able to purchase another AM -FM combine in the future.

By giving up its St. Louis radio outlet, Pulitzer, which also owns the St. Louis Post Dispatch newspaper, rids itself of a potential cross -media ownership problem. In exchange for KSD, Pulitzer acquires an all - news and an AOR station in Phoenix.

Renewed Interest In Soundtracks Seen On Pop Chart (continued from page 7)

U.S., RSO claims the top two grossing albums of all time.

The label also reports worldwide sale on "SNF" of nearly 30 million units and further states that "Grease" is maintaining a pace ahead of "SNF" within comparable periods following its release. RSO reports sales of five million units of the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" soundtrack.

Mike Hutson, RSO's vice president and managing director of international operations, predicts "Grease" will ultimately out- sell "SNF" in the international market.

The reason, he said, is that, "Nostalgia for the American '50s is stronger outside of America than in. The image of America in the '50s of greased hair, hamburgers, etc. is very interesting to other parts of the world.

"There has always been great nostalgia for that period in America. Outside of the United States in the '50s there was a lot of post-war depression, but most people (in America) were driving around in big cars, drinking milk shakes and wearing jeans."

'Sgt. Pepper' Hutson also says he thinks the 'Sgt. Pep-

per" film and album will do better internationally than domestically. "We are going to have a different campaign which will emphasize more the story of the movie. We will be bringing in characters and we will tell people the film stars the Bee Gees.

"I liked the film because I went in with no misapprehensions. I knew what it was -a silly, fun fantasy -type kids film. The criticism it has had here I think is because people thought it was going to be something else. Internationally, 'Pepper' is getting greater musical acceptance."

Merchandising Contest For New Kool Album NEW YORK - DeLite Records, in conjunction with Phonogram, Inc. and Polydor Dis- tribution Inc. (PDI), has announced a merchandising contest in support of the new Kool and the Gang album, "Everybody's Dancin' ".

Cash prizes will be awarded to retail accounts across the country (including one - store) with the best merchandising displays, to the two merchandising specialists at PDI with the best displays, and to the merchandising manager who delivers the best overall display effort nationwide.

Atlantic Releasing Firefall's 3rd LP Half Year Later (continued from page 10)

was the right decision. You can work on albums forever, with every album you want to go back and change things, but this time we got the chance to do it before it was too late. As a result, the LP broadens our musical base. We use strings on three or four cuts and I even got my first chance to sing the blues."

National Tour With the album now reaching retailers,

Firefall is about to embark on a national tour. Along with Roberts on guitar and vocals, the band Includes Jock Bartley on guitar, Mark Andes on bass, Larry Burnett on guitar and Michael Clarke on drums.

"We've just changea agencies, this time out we'll be playing major shows as 'guest artists,' " reports Roberts. "I'd love to play five or six nights at a time in 3,000 to 4,000 seat halls, but the timing Isn't right for that yet.

"We need to work on our stage show," says Roberts candidly. "We need to figure out ways to make it unique."

Praises Ertegun Roberts is confident that "Elan" Is going

to expose Firefall to a larger audience than those who know the group's earlier work and he is generous with his praise of their label and its board chairman, Ahmet Er- tegun.

Last year, when Firefall's second album was delivered to Atlantic, Ertegun postponed a business trip abroad and flew out west to discuss his reservations about the album with the band.

"He spent a whole evening with us ex- plaining why the second album wasn't up to par," remembers Roberts. "He used to produce music like we made, with the Buf- falo Springfield and others, so his honest opinions are important to us. He's a true friend, and his honesty is a big plus for Firefall."

Four years after the group began playing bar gigs around the Boulder -Denver area, where the band members are based, Firefall is on the verge of a breakthrough in its career. "Strange Ways," the first single of "Elan," is already #59 bullet with a radio airplay bolt on the Cash Box Top 100 Singles chart. Once again Firefall believes its time has come.

producers, publishers, record executives, disc jockeys, managers and promoters - every aspect of the music business - and we will be searching them out all over the world."

"But this show is not just for the industry," adds Bearde. "It will be for everyone. It will maintain the pace, style and delivery of Cash Box, but also offer a wide-ranging creative focus."

Bearde is best known for his creation of series, such as "The Gong Show," his work as producer of "The Andy Williams Show," "The Sonny & Cher Show" and a long list of successful television specials for Bob Hope, Elvis Presley and many others. As one of the original writers for "Laugh -ln," he earned a pair of Emmy Awards. Current projects include "The Cheap Show" and "The Radio Show."

'I Like Comedy' Bearde notes that the show will not take

itself too seriously. "As you can tell from my previous show, I like comedy and I demand entertainment. This show will use the information, personalities and music of the recording industry, but it will come together in a fast -paced entertaining format."



Entertainment Co. Follows Through On LPs It Produces (continued from page 10)

ment Company, he was director of CBS Music Publishing.

During this period, he remembers, publishers were having an unusually hard time in getting cover records. The reason was that there was a greater emphasis on self-contained material that emphasized individual musicianship.

Pitchers And Hitters Koppelman, who was a phys-ed major in

college, uses a baseball metaphor to describe that era from a publisher's view- point. "To me the song is the pitcher or the quarterback, and your running backs or your Reggie Jacksons or home run hitters are the individual players. In 1970-75, there was a de -emphasis on pitching and a strong emphasis on hitting.

"That was a period that wasn't particularly pleasing to me. I'm into songs: I

love songs; I listen to songs all the time .. And groups such as Led Zeppelin, Johnny Winter, artists of that nature - though I appreciate them for their aesthetics and their musicianship and live stage show - I really don't think that ten years from their peak, that we're going to be able to hum too much of what they've done."

Koppelman adds, however, that he does like some hard rock groups, especially the Rolling Stones. What separates the Stones, he says, from many other rock bands is their taste in selecting material. "That's what separates for me the long-range artist or songwriter from the not -so -long-range."

With artists like Barbra Streisand and Glen Campbell being produced by the En- tertainment Company, the firm has developed a middle-of-the-road image in some quarters. Koppelman denies, however, that The Entertainment Company specializes in MOR, because MOR is no longer bland background music in today's marketplace. "MOR today is contemporary music," he asserts. "It's just that we have such a wide range of contemporary music that MOR Is probably the widest: it sells the most records and, luckily for me, that's something I have a terrific feel for."

Koppelman points out that even disco is MOR, because "it appeals to exactly the same marketplace" as Streisand, Neil Dia- mond and other mainstream acts. And today, in the increasingly competitive disco field, he says, one needs good songs in order to score a hit. As an example, he con- trasted Donna Summer's "Last Dance" and her cover of "MacArthur Park" with her earlier hit, "Love To Love You, Baby," which had no real hook and very little melody.

Collins in Studio Koppelman, Martin Bandier, and Gary

Klein, who heads The Entertainment Com- pany's A&R department, all listen to tapes of songs on a regular basis. Most of these come from either other publishers or The Entertainment Company's own publishing catalogues.

Klein, who has produced such albums as Barbra Streisand's "Superman," Glen Campbell's "Southern Nights," and Dolly Parton's "Heartbreaker" says that he selects most of the material for the artists he works with. Just for one LP, he says, he might listen to 500 songs, of which eight or ten may end up on the final product.

Currently, he is in the studio with Judy Collins, who is not writing any of the material for her new album. Klein says that the new record has more of a "pop feel, at least in terms of rhythm," than Collins' earlier work. Still, he stresses, "It's a Judy Collins record ... I guess about half the album will be traditional Judy Collins - not folk or anything, but more like she's been doing recently. And the other half will be slightly more pop -oriented. I just think she's got to sort of move along with the times; and that's what she's starting to do."

With several other producers reporting to him, including David Wolfert, Nick DeCaro and John Mills, Klein functions as an executive producer. Koppelman, who also regards himself as an executive producer, claims that The Entertainment Company pioneered the concept in the record industry. "The executive producer is the one who has the total responsibility," he comments. "This responsibility is not just for the production of the record, because that's what the producer does, but the responsibility that it all works out right. He has to make sure, after the record is finished, that marketing, merchandising and promotion are coordinated with the record company."

Due to The Entertainment Company's high batting average on the charts, the firm can exert a great deal of leverage to ensure that the labels take care of their records. For example, before Koppelman even committed his company to the Judy Collins project, he recalls, "I was on the phone with Steve Wax, and really had to assure myself that they were going to do the job. Judy, as well - we've spent a lot of time together - and I'm convinced that she wants to really go out and do it. If I have those ingredients, I

know we'll come up with the right material and the right records. As long as everyone has the same goal in mind, it's going to be a

home run. And that's really what we look for."

Another example of Koppelman's influence on label marketing campaigns was his selection of an album cover for Cheryl Ladd's debut LP on Capitol. Several covers were shown to him, and he didn't like any of them; so he proposed a concept that made sense to him, and it was adopted. In addition, he demanded and got a blackout on pre-release press coverage on the Ladd record. "I wanted to avoid the speculation of 'Can she sing, can't she sing, is she or isn't she a real artist?' People would have had their own preconceived notion, and when the album came, we would have had a

more difficult time. So instead, we said, 'No one's going to hear about it. When the album is finished, we're going to strike like the Panzer division.

The Quarterback In keeping with his sports imagery, Kop-

pelman sees his role as that of a quarterback. He huddles not only with the artist and the producer, but with everyone else who can affect the success of the artist's record: their manager, label people, even the booking agency. For example, he recently arranged for Livingston Taylor to open on a tour with Linda Ronstadt.

This approach is very helpful to the decision -makers at record companies. As Koppelman points out, it is much easier for them to deal with just one person - himself - than to deal with a dozen or so people who are involved with an act. And, from his own point of view, he would rather have direct contact with all these people than take a chance that a vital detail that can make or break an album will be passed over.

Most important, he notes, the artist benefits from a deal with The Entertainment Company. "When someone comes to us and we produce their records, they don't just get someone who walks in the studio and produces their records. They get someone who works with them from the day they get started. They have three, four, five people searching for material from every publisher, as well as ourselves. They get the individuals to produce their records, and they get a coordinated effort between their own management and the record companies to watch and nurture their product after the producer is really finished with it."


OCEAN PACTS WITH ARIOLA - Ocean Records has signed a deal with Ariola Records making it Ariola's first custom label. Pictured above at the signing (l -r) are: Jay Lasker, president of Ariola; Tom Cossie, chairman of the board for Ocean; Marc Kreiner, president of Ocean; Howard Stark, Ariola executive vice president and Scott Shannon, Ariola senior vice president.

the same year. And it wasn't a CBS, a War- ners, an EMI or a Polygram. It was a small label."

He added that the unprecedented sales achieved by these albums have "helped to set a new standard of achievement.

"A lot of people in the industry are saying we've failed because we've sold five million on'Sgt. Pepper'," Coury said. "At a cost of $8 each, that's a gross of $40 million on one album. Tell me how many other albums in history have grossed $40 million."

Labels, Production Deals In addition to offers for the rights to

soundtracks, Coury said RSO has been ap- proached about some label distribution and production deals, and said he is considering taking the label into those areas.

Although he gave no specifics on those deals, he said label distribution and/or Shannon indicates that the custom label production deals were just part of RSO's deal is structured on a sliding financial plans for future growth. scale, dependent on the sales success

"Our concentration point is to expand achieved by Ocean records. "It's a very our company under controlled growth," profitable deal for both parties," he adds. Coury said. "We can't depend on having another album next year that will be bigger than 'Fever' and 'Grease' although it's not impossible that we might. We have to continue to develop the artists we have along with the new artists we've recently signed."

Toward the further exploitation of the labels current hits, Coury said Paramount Pictures is planning a "massive multiple release on 'Grease' around the first of the year." He added that "Grease,"the film, has surpassed "Saturday Night Fever" as the film company's second most successful of all-time, ranking only behind "Jaws."

"If we didn't have the success we did with 'Saturday Night Fever', we might not have known as what was possible for 'Grease'," Coury said. "Now when somebody sells even three or four million copies of a

record, they are thinking, 'Maybe we could have sold eiaht or nine million'."

Ariola Pacts With

Adams Elected Prexy Of Intl Rights Group NEW YORK - Songwriter Stanley Adams has become the first American to be elected president of the International Con- federation of Authors and Composers (CISAC) at its 31st Congress in Montreal. Mr. Adams, currently the president of the American Society of Authors and Com- posers (ASCAP), will succeed German composer Werner Egk. Russian composer R. Schedrin was elected vice president and will succeed Luis -Francisco Rebello of Por- tugal. The 52 -year -old, Paris -based CISAC represents 98 copyright societies in 50 countries, and its Canadian meeting marked only the third time that the Con- federation has met in North America.


there wasn't enough disco product for him to work. After that he stayed in close contact with us and when we decided to move into the disco direction about a year ago we started to work with him again. The results have been so good we decided to give him a

label." Kreiner credits Shannon with developing

Ariola's disco program and bringing Ocean to the label.

"We chose to go with Ariola for several reasons," explains Kreiner. "The energy level of the company is astonishing and we've developed a very close relationship with Scott Shannon, who has been instrumental in Ariola's disco development. Furthermore, my respect for Jay (Lasker, Ariola president and Howard (Stark, executive vice president) dates from the beginning of my music career."

The logo and office locations of the new label will be announced early next year, concurrent with the release of Ocean's first album. The companies are examining the possibility of sharing office space either in

New York or Los Angeles.

Sensormatic Sets Music Products LOS ANGELES - Sensormatic Electronics Corporation has developed and begun to market a line of products which are designed to act as a deterrent to shoplifting by protecting music merchandise elec- tronically. Three products, the Keeper Ill, for protecting cassette tapes; Keeper IV, for protecting 8 -track tapes; and the Sensor - Pak, for protecting albums, were recently introduced at a series of music industry trade shows throughout the country.

The Keeper products permit free and open merchandising, eliminate locked tape cases and create an environment conducive to simpler and convenient self- service and impulse buying. The 8 -tracks and cassettes are protected by a hard, transparent and reusable package which houses an electronic sensor. Used in conjunction with special scanners placed at the exits of the department or the store, the Keepers protect the merchandise until it is paid for and the Keepers are removed by the sales clerk.

The SensorPak consists of a self- contained, sensitized tag which is strongly adhered to the LP by a self-adhesive back. When the album is purchased, a specially designed tool quickly removes the sensitized tag by opening the SensorPak.

Wynette Safe After Kidnapping Scare NASHVILLE - Country entertainer Tammy Wynette was abducted on Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 4 from the parking lot of a shopping center department store here. She was discovered early that night when she found her way to the home of Mrs. David Young in Giles County near Pulaski, Tenn. approximately 80 miles from Nashville.

The abductors were waiting in the back seat of her car in the shopping center (where she was shopping for a birthday present for her daughter). Giles County authorities are searching for two or three men believed to be traveling in a blue, late - model station wagon.

According to an article published in the Nashville Tennesean, Mrs. Young said "her neck hurt her real bad, and her mouth hurt her where a man slapped her in the mouth."

Wynette was treated and released from the Giles County Hospital. Wynette's hus- band, George Richey, has reportedly contacted Tennessee Gov. Ray Blanton and asked for his personal support in ap- prehending the suspects.

45/ REVIEWS/LP KENNY ROGERS (United Artists UA -X1250) The Gambler (3:32) (Writers Night Music - ASCAP) (D. Schlitz)

This tune penned by Don Schlitz has been cut by four different artists prior to Kenny's release, and apparently the missing element has been the name of a major artist on the label. This Kenny Rogers version is superb and will finally expose this well written song to the masses. WILLIE NELSON (Columbia 3-10834) All Of Me (3:52) (Bourne Company/Marlong Music - BMI) (S. Simons/G. Marks)

Two Willie Nelson releases in one week and both deserve to be programmed. This first selection is of course recently recorded and is from the "Stardust" album with his current label. WILLIE NELSON (Lone Star Records 703) Will You Remember Mine (3:05) (Tree Pub. - BMI) (W. Nelson)

This second Willie release for the week is of the vintage Nelson and on his own Lone Star label. Although older in character, this single will fit very well with today's programming. JOHNNY PAYCHECK (Epic 8-50621) Friend, Lover, Wife (3:09) (Algee Music - BMI) (B. Sherril/J. Paycheck)

Paycheck's rough country vocals shine through brightly on this single which has a rock background sound that brings to mind the group Chicago and their earlier instrumental tracks. JOE SUN (Ovation OV 1117) High And Dry (3:44) (Tree Pub. - BMI)(Michael Kosser/Curly Putnam)

There should be no objections to this new Joe Sun cut. From the same mold which produced his previous top 20 single, "Old Flames," this single could be even stronger.

dowment for the arts in Washington; George C. White founder and president of the Eugene O'Neill Memorial Theatre Cen- ter; and WNEW radio personality William B.

GREATEST HITS - The Marshall Tucker Band - Capricorn- CPN-0214 - Producer: Paul Hornsby - List: 7.98

This greatest hits album by The Marshall Tucker Band contains some of the truly classic progressive country songs which emerged from the early and middle -'70s. Combining lilting melodies and unique instrumentation with straight rock 'n' roll, Marshall Tucker has built a broad audience base. This eight - song package includes "Can't You See," "Fire On The Moun- tain," "This 01' Cowboy" and "24 Hours At A Time." GREATEST HITS, VOLUME I - Roy Acuff - Elektra/Asylum- 9E-302 - Producer: Wesley Rose and Ronnie Gant - List: 11.98

Called "the king of country music," Roy Acuff is 75 now, but he still makes regular appearances on The Grand Ole Opry and is still revered by a multitude of fans. Although these aren't the original recordings, this album contains many of the absolute all-time great country songs. Included are "Wabash Cannon- ball," "The Great Speckled Bird" and "Will The Circle Be Un- broken." OFF THE WALL - Ray Wylie Hubbard - Lone Star -L-4603 - Producer: George M. Jones, Larry White and Ray Wylie Hub- bard - List: 6.98

Ray Wylie Hubbard is unknown on a national level, but folks in Texas have been dancing and listening to Hubbard's music for several years. If the name sounds familiar, Ray Wylie composed the progressive country anthem, "Red Neck Mother," which Jerry Jeff Walker recorded. A writer of wit and originality, Hubbard's tunes are steeped in the rich dust and air of Texas culture. Hubbard is truly one of the more talented artists to emerge from the southwest in a great while. SILVER TONGUED DEVIL - Carl Smith - Hickory - HB - 44015 - Producer: Ronnie Gant - List: 6.98

A veteran of The Grand Ole Opry (and father of Carlene Car- ter), Carl Smith has not been musically active in some time. Smith spends most of his time working on his ranch, and this album contains many cowboy and western songs. Airplay may come hard for Smith at this point, but he still has many fans who will appreciate and buy a solid, country album recorded in

Smith's no -frills style. "Silver Tongued Devil" and "There's Nobody Home On The Range Any More" are solid cuts.

Nelson Signs With Fifty States Signs Buddy Lee Agency Distribution Pact For Representation With WIG Conmp. NASHVILLE - Buddy Lee of Buddy Lee At- tractions has announced an agreement in which his agency will represent Willie Nelson for fairs only. Lee flew to Dallas, Tx. with Nelson's loig-time friend and associate Hank Cochran, and Cochran's wife. Jeannie Seely, to sign the agreement.

NASHVILLE - Fifty States Records has signed an exclusive distribution and promotion contract with World Inter- national Group (WIG), Inc. The joint announcement was made by Fifty States president Johnny Howard and Gene Ken- nedy, president of WIG, a distribution and promotion company.

The first single to be promoted and distributed by WIG is "Broken White Line," by Jack Paris. Other artists on the Fifty States Roster include Ruby Falls, Danny Hargrove and Ron Lowry.

MARGO SMITH SGNS WITH WILLIAM MORRIS - Warner Bros. Records artist Margo Smith recently signed for exclusive representation with The William Morris Agency.

Shown at the signing are (1-r): Sonny Neal, William Morris agent; Smith (seated); Delores Smiley, William Morris agent; and Bob Neal, William

Morris agent.



COUNTRY RADIO THE COUNTRY MIKE

ANOTHER NEW COUNTRY STATION - Wichita's KFH has just announced that they

have changed to a country format as of Sept. 13. KFH is a very interesting radio station.

First, it is the oldest station in Kansas, having been on the air since 1922. KFH is also the

only station in Wichita that is full-time with 5,000 watts. PD Jason Drake said that the station decided to change to country, having an MOR for-

mat "for years," after they conducted the largest listener survey in the history of Kansas

radio. Apparently everyone thought they should be playing country music ... so that's

what they're going to do. As with any radio station deciding to change formats, KFH needs country record service.

The station wants to put together an excellent record library, with the help of all the major and independent labels. Send all prodi. ct to KFH in care of Drake at

Carey House Square, 104 South Emporia, Wichita, Kansas 67202.

Promotion persons can contact Drake at 316-262-4491. AIR PERSONALITY PROFILE - Can you believe that anyone in

the world has been in radio for 52 years? Well, talk to Lyle DeMoss at KYNN/Omaha; he'll probably be glad to tell you all about it. Cash

Box tried to find out how old he was ... 75 plus was the answer.

They also say that he's as healthy as a horse. DeMoss has beenwith KYNN since long before it was KYNN, some 13 years. He was also

GM at WOW/Omaha back in the '50s when Johnny Carson worked Lyle DeMoss there. DeMoss is a salesman at the station, but he also has a daily

airshift called "Country Cookin'." it's an hour-long music -cooking show; he plays music

and gives out the latest tips on cooking for all the housewives. Anyone who can stay in radio

for 52 years should be enshrined in somebody's hall of fame.

RUMORS WE HAVE HEARD - Jerry Green is out at KVET/Austin ... WPIK/Alexandria

is going automated ... Jay Hoffer, formerly with KRAK/Sacramento has joined KERE/Denver ...KITE/San Antonio is going country... KYNN/Omaha has purchased an

FM, will it be country? DUGG COLLINS ... WHERE ARE YOU??? -A few weeks ago we reported that Dugg

Collins had left his PD job at KDJW/Amarillo to come to Music City. He was to be the new

national promotion director at MRC Records. In the past three weeks, however, Collins has

changed his mind and headed back for beautiful and exciting Amarillo. COUNTRY MIKE received a nice letter from Collins the other day informing us that he is

back in business once again at Amarillo's KZIP as music director. He and his band are also

working a few gigs in the Amarillo area. KZIP is a country station with 1,000 watts. So now

everybody knows where Collins ... give him a call at (806) 359-8561 after 10 a.m.

SO WHERE ARE THE NEW TRACKING STATIONS ??? - As announced last week .. .

Cash Box is putting together a new list of country tracking stations. Because there are so

many stations we would like to add, it is taking a little longer than expected. Watch this

column next week. We'll be listing all our new stations with the names of the music directors

and phone numbers. WTSO/Madison has announced that Pat Martin will become the new music director for

the station ... not just interim MD as we announced a couple of weeks ago. Martin will also

be taking over the morning shift. The new jock at WTSO is James Weaver who comes from

WNGC in Athens, Georgia. By the way, if you can't get Martin on the phone Chuck Morkri

will also take music calls for your convenience. Several stations around the country will be broadcasting a live simulcast of the CMA

Awards Show on Monday, October 9, including WMAQ/Chicago and WEEP/Pittsburgh. WELL ... IT'S CONVENTION TIME ONCE AGAIN - Nashville is one of the most ex-

citing cities in the world, especially in October. Hopefully, everyone will be able to come

down and join in all the festivities. It not, read all about it in Cash Box.

Here are just a few of the things going on that may be of interest: Oct. 9 is the CMA

Awards Show at 8:30 in the Opry House ... BMI has their black tie dinner on Oct.17... Oct.

18-20 is filled with so many things to do, you will be wondering where to go first. All the

labels will be having parties and suites ... many of the labels will be putting on shows, with

some of the finest talent in the world. D.J. Convention is set for Oct. 16 through the 21 .. .

don't miss it. country mike

Nashville Gears Up For 12th Annual DJ Celebration Week (continued from page 27)

tacular, and the Sho-bud/Baldwin/Gretsch Birthday Show.

The CMA will hold its annual membership meeting on Thursday, Oct. 19 when new board members will be elected and plaques will be presented to the three country music radio station winners of the 1977 Country Music Month contest. Those stations are WJIL, Jacksonville, Ill.; KSSS, Colorado Springs, Colo.; and WCMS, Nor- folk, Va.

The first of the showcases by major labels, hosted by RCA, follows the CMA meeting at 11:30 a.m. The MCA show is at

3:30 p.m. and United Artists is at 8 p.m. Sandwiched in-between is a dinner hosted by the newest addition to the official convention agenda, the Federation of Inter- national Country Air Personalities (FICAP).

Only two years old, FICAP has a membership totalling over 4,000. It administers the Country Music Disc Jockey Hall of

Fame and is planning a museum of radio artifacts and a school of broadcasting. The organization is currently conducting a survey to determine the dates most compati- ble with broadcast ratings periods for the

annual Opry birthday extravaganza. Friday, Oct. 20 begins with a morning ar-

tist/DJ tape session, during which numerous entertainers gather at the Municipal Auditorium and make themselves available to DJs for promotional announcements and one-on-one interviews. The sessions break at lunch but pick up

again on Saturday morning. Opry Trust Fund

One half of the $35 registration fee for events on the Opry Birthday Celebration agenda goes to the Opry Trust Fund. The fund was established in 1965 to give financial assistance in time of need or emergency to all country musicians or their families, and since then over $600,000 has

been distributed. In addition to the many official shows,

numerous smaller labels and talent agencies will be showcasing their acts in local hotels and clubs throughout the week. Given the extra week of events and the con- stant availability of parties and hospitality suites, the country music conventioneers can be assured of accomplishing all of their objectives, in business as well as in

pleasure.

Gospel Reviews JOE REED - One More Time - House Top Records HTR 710LPS - Producer: James Barden - List: 6.98

He sings smooth, and he is Joe Reed and his latest House Top release, "One More Time," is the forum for Reed's mellow music. When he glides through selections such as "What A Dif- ference You Made In My Life," "At The Name Of Jesus," "Why Me Lord," and "Sweet Brotherly Love," Reed shines. He really knows how to handle ballads and easy listening gospel programmers will spin "One More Time" many times. Often producers who cover standards such as "Why Me Lord" lose much of the original impact of the song with arrangements that simply do not work. Producer James Barden wisely sticks to original arrangements and lets Reed's silky voice and the lyric dominate.

MERRILL WOMACH - In Quartet - New Life NL77-10-12- Producer: Paul Stilwell - List: 6.98

Merrill Womach's life story is well known Burned beyond recognition in a plane crash on Thanksgiving Day, 1961, he has literally risen from the ashes to continue his career. "In Quartet" is an ambitious project and Womach's aim is high. He's also hit the bullseye. Womach's 1st tenor, 2nd tenor, baritone, and bass are as distinctive as if they were coming from four different sources. His Quartet is especially effective on "Give The World A Smile," Just A Little Talk With Jesus," and "Dry Bones." Move over Stamps Quartet; you got company.

New Ice House To Offer2Showrooms UnderNewOwners LOS ANGELES - The Ice House in Pasadena, long a leading showcase venue for up and coming music and comedy talent, is set to modify its format under new ownership. The official opening nights for the remodeled Ice House will be Oct. 18-19, with a list of musical acts, comedians and magicians slated to appear.

"Ten years ago the Ice House was the place for discovering talent in Los Angeles," recalls one of the venue's new owners, Marc Weingarten. "We want to return to that."

The new Ice House will house two separate showrooms. The comedy showroom, where row seating has been replaced by tables to create a nightclub atmosphere, will feature three acts nightly. At least one of the acts will be a music act, with new talent mixing with established performers.

The second showroom, the annex, will not be finished in time for the opening. The annex will feature a music and magic format, rotating bluegrass, jazz, country, folk, and rock music with leading magic acts. The annex will seat about 100; the comedy showroom will seat between 150 and 200.

Weingarten hopes that the new Ice House can serve both the artist community and the record industry by featuring new talent and being available as a place to showcase acts.

"Thursday night will be 'Future Stars' night, when we'll screen acts for our talent night and for opening acts," Weingarten says. "I'd also like to see the annex used as a showcase venue for record labels."

The Ice House is located at 24 N. Mentor Ave. in Pasadena and offers entertainment seven nights a week. Admission Sunday through Thursday is $3, Friday and Satur- day admission costs $3.50. Further information on the Ice House can be obtained from new owners Marc Weingarten, Bob Fisher and Jan Smith at (213) 681-1923.

Neil Diamond And Streisand Record First Duet Single (continued from page 101

contemporary, and soft -rock playlists at such stations as WGN in Chicago, Louisville's WAKY, Chicago's WGN, and Detriot's WJR.

"It was a difficult situation to deal with at first because Barbra's 'Songbird' and 'Prisoner' singles were still charting," Sherwood explained. "But as listener reaction to the song grew, Barbra and Neil finally got together and took a shot at recording it. Everyone I've played it for has flipped."

No Tour Plans Though there are no plans for the pair to

tour in support of the single, Sherwood said that "Flowers" will appear on Streisand's forthcoming "Greatest Hits Volume Il" package, set for release next month. There is also a possibility that the new song will appear on Diamond's next album, which is unscheduled as yet.

"'Flowers' is more than a classic song - it's an event," Sherwood enthused. "Strei- sand and Diamond are two of the world's biggest multimedia stars, and I've got to believe that radio will treat the single like a monster because of the tremendous demographics they both share. Another important factor is the familiarity of their individual voices to the listening audience. I'm just nuts about the whole idea."

The best cuts on this album are "Amor Salsa Y Paz," "Oh Madalena," "Eres Exactamente," "Que Me Lo Den Ahora" and "Campesino." This album should not be overlooked in any Latin retail store.

NEW YORK CITY SALSA - Orquesta Broadway - Coco-clp- 140X - Producer: Ira Herscher

Orchestra Broadway needs no introduction to the violin family. They have been established as the God Father of the charanga sound which started its craze in Cuba. Arrangements by Ira Herscher are superb, violins blend beautifully in this album. Also, nice solos by the flute player Eddy Zervigon. Each cut is a gem in its own right. With good promotion it should go to the top.

ECUE RITMOS CUBA NOS - Walfredo De Los Reyes/L. Bellson - Pablo 2310-807 - Producer: Norman Granz

Pablo has combined the sounds of Walfredo de Los Reyes and Louie Bellson in this album of Afro Cuban Jazz music. The Title "Ecu," as described by its composer and bassist on the album Cachao, has the sound produced by a Nanigo (a Tam- bor, or drum) which is more or less like the roar of a lion and people, upon hearing it, shout "Oye el ecue." The rhythm section in this album is superb. The following all stars were added to this masterpiece of Latin jazz: Francisco Aquabella, Emil Richards, Cachao, Clare Fisher, Acuna, and Luis Conte.

LATIN BEAT A second Salsa International concert will

take place at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 10. Ralph Mercado and Ray Aviles inform that they will be bringing in Andy Montanez and Dimension Latina for the event. Just about the same time the band will be touring the U.S.... They will play Houston, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Mexico, besides New York.

Fajardo is doing better than ever since his return to New York. He will appear with Hector LaVoe at the Golden Tierra in Chicago on Oct. 28.

Bobby Rodriguez Y La Companla will head for Caracas and Puerto Rico Oct. 29. He will do a weekend in Caracas, and will move on to Puerto Rico for two weeks.

Holland will get a taste of Salsa when Cella Cruz and Pete "El Conde" go there for three concert appearances between Nov. 1 and 6. They will head for Germany to tape a televison show.

The Puerto Rico All Stars will make their second annual appearance in New York Nov. 10. The occasion will be the second Salsa International concert set for Madison Square Garden, being presented by Ralph Mercado and Ray Aviles.

The Puerto Rico All Stars will headline the concert which will also star La Dimen- sion Latina with Andy Montanez from Venezuela and Wllfrldo Vargas Y Sus Beduinos from Santo Domingo. Other acts are still being lined up for the concert.

Louis Ramirez will make one of his rare appearances with his own band on Sunday, Oct. 8, when he does a benefit performance for WKCR-FM's Fourth Annual Benefit Dance/Concert. In the meantime, his album, "Louie Ramirez Y Sus Amigos," continues to climb.

Live jazz is returning to the airwaves on National Public Radio stations across the country and the music that is being broadcast is as fine as any you might have heard back in the Forties. For a complete list of jazz tapings, times and the NPR station in

your area, write to Jazz Alive!, National Public Radio, 2025 M Street N.W., Washington, D.C., 20036. During October, you'll hear Art Blakey at San Francisco's Keystone Korner and Tito Puente's Latin Big Band sounds. All right.

Multi -talented songstress Virginia Lopez from Puerto Rico has been breaking all

Argentin BUENOS AIRES - In spite of the weak state of the market, certain singles and LPs continue reaching high marks and bring some confidence to the diskeries and retailers. The latest example is British chantress Bonnie Tyler, whose "It's A Hear- tache" sold more than 100,000 singles in four weeks and is currently on top of the charts. Earlier this year, the 12 -inch 45 rem "Rockollection," also released by RCA, surpassed the 200,000 mark. Phonogram, as we have already mentioned, has reported a

combined sale (records plus tapes) of little less than 100,000 albums for the "Saturday Night Fever" two LP set, and the soccer singles and LPs, reached last July a total sale of half a million records on three labels.. .

Speaking about RCA, the upcoming highlight is "The Movie," by Abba, and a co- opt promotion with the group's recordings. The diskery arranged a private screening of the film for news and radio people, along with Warner Bros., which is distributing it in this market.

Hecto Cuomo of CBS reported to Cash Box the inking of well-known folk chantress Julia Elena Davalos, one of the top names in the field. There is also an interesting ex- periment with humorist Juan Carlos Mesa,

records at the Chateau Madrid in New York City.

Camilo Sesto's nation wide tour will con- sist of the following cities starting Oct. 7:

New Orleans, Miami, Houston, Chicago, New York, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The veteran vocalist Cella Cruz has teamed up with the pride of Puerto Rico, Sonora Poncena, and recorded an LP which will be released next spring.

After a record -breaking crowd of 27,000 fans had been entertained by Fania's musical talent, Jerry Masuccl threw a

fabulous party in Puerto Rico; "A la Manhattan," for his Fania All Stars tenth anniversary. Held in a luxurious penthouse setting, the "beautiful people" guests were treated to delicacies from California and New York, all of which was freshly delivered within twenty-four hours of the party. Strawberrys and other assorted fruit, Italian sausages, and exotic drinks dominated the night which was filled with fashionable ladies and macho men. Sprinkled throughout the crowd were such salsa luminaries as Cella Cruz, Pedro Knight, Santos Colon, Willie and Julie Colon, El Conde, Larry Harlow, Agapito Sovella, and the rest of the All Stars who were revelling in

their musical victory on the Island. With jazz and latin music on the up swing,

Ray Rivera, latin jazz composer, once again is getting a lot of action on his songs. Ray has just had two songs recorded by Hank Jones one for the East Wind Label in Japan which will also be released in the USA and the other by Hank Jones for the Progressive which has been released in Japan and the USA. Billy Taylor has recorded a tune he co -wrote with Ray titled "Ray's Tunes" which has also been published in a jazz folio. The Ray Rivera group has also recorded the song for GP Records and together with Billy Taylor, Ray has recorded a vocal on this song in a new LP for American Themes and Tapes which will be released in Europe and the USA.

Turnstyle Records has just released an impressive album by Louis "Perico" Ortiz. An accomplished musician at an early age, Ortiz is constantly exploring new methods of phrasing and improving his technique. The young powerhouse can also be heard as part of the Fania All -Star regime.

Phonogram arranged a press conference and show at the new Libertador Hotel to present the new album cut by Raul Lavle. One of the most interesting moments was the speech by the label's general manager, John Lear, who addressed the audience (disc jockeys, journalists and trade people) showing concern about the current difficulties to obtain good promotion for local artists and music and also mentioning that the record industry, at this moment is not deliveri g the product best preferred by the public. Lear's message was brilliant and sincere, and suprised many of the guests at the party.

Mangione Flexes His Muscles With Three Albums On Chart LOS ANGELES - Flugelhorn player Chuck Mangione continues to be one of today's most commercially -potent jazz artists with three albums appearing concurrently on the Cash Box Top 40 Jazz and Top 200 Pop charts this week, paced by the two -record set "Children of Sanchez" which is at #1 bullet jazz and #31 bullet pop.

"Feels So Good," which is at #9 jazz and #51 pop approximately one year after its release, and "The Best Of Chuck Mangione" at #21 jazz and #156 pop, are the two other LPs by Mangione that this week appear simultaneously on both charts. "Children Of Sanchez" and "Feels So Good" are on A&M Records, while "The Best Of ... " is on Mercury, Mangione's former label.

"Children of Sanchez" was certified gold the week it was released and reached the top spot on the jazz chart after three weeks. Harlod Childs, senior vice president of promotion for A&M, said the label had expected a strong follow up to Mangione's "Feels So Good" LP, which now is nearing the double platinum sales mark.

Hit Single "Even though it is at #1 on the jazz chart,

we feel that 'Children Of Sanchez' hasn't achieved anywhere near its potential,"

..

FERGUSON AT THE ROXY - Columbia recording artist Maynard Ferguson, currently on a national tour, recently played a two -night engagement at the Roxy in Hollywood. The tour is in support of his latest album, "Carnival," which features the single "Battlestar Galactica." Pictured (l -r) after the show are: Burt Young, actor who co-starred in the film "Rocky"; Ferguson; and Gene Kirkwood, film producer.

Childs said of Mangione's latest LP. "We just released the title track as a single, and we're looking to break another instrumental hit." A&M had a Top 5 record earlier this year with the title track to "Feels So Good."

Childs went on to say that "Children Of Sanchez" received a major boost out -of - the -box in connection with PBS television's live broadcast of a recent Mangione concert.

"One of the things that helped launch this album," Childs said, "was Chuck doing the PBS 'Live At Wolftrap' concert about a month and a half ago, just when the album was being released. He introduced music from 'Children Of Sanchez' and the program was carried by some 150 stations. You can't ask for better exposure than that for a new album."

ON JAZZ Ray Charles tells it all in his book,

"Brother Ray" (The Dial Press). One of the most candid biographies by a music giant, Charles describes in poignant detail his gradual blindness, his affinity for women and his dealings with record companies. It

is all told in his own words, and collaborator David Ritz stays discreetly in the background. Charles' dues paying in Florida and Seattle give solid insights into his own highly distinctive music, which ex- ploded in the mid -'50s. Since his move to California some years ago, Ray has abandoned his classy R&B sound and become more involved in the music of other people, which he is capable of making uniquely his own. Still, one wonders about that almost 15 -year period of Ray Charles , (the ABC years) that is now completely out of print. It

will be extremely difficult for younger listeners to understand that the Atlantic Ray Charles is the same performer one currently hears on crossover. Then again, there is

that small but distinctive Tangerine catalogue, with some great jazz and blues that never received proper attention. Ray ought to find a good packager to reissue some of the missing music in conjunction with the publication of "Brother Ray," which will be on the street Oct. 14.

JAZZ ALBUM NEW DIRECTIONS - Jack DeJohnette - ECM 1-1128 - Producer: Manfred Etcher - List: 7.98

Fusion maestro Jack DeJohnette changes directions with this, his third ECM release. New to the quartet are bassman Ed- die Gomez and high-spirited trumpeter Lester Bowie. With John Abercombie on guitar, the result is ensemble playing full of intelligence and emotion, with a dollop of humor sweet enough to draw the new listener to the feast. DeJohnette's masterful piano work glows on "Silver Hollow" while his drum- ing on the other four tracks make "New Directions" a trip you should take.

ART PEPPER PLAYS SHORTY ROGERS & OTHERS - Pacific Jazz LA896H - List: 7.98

A splendid collection (featuring four previously unissued tunes) by the alto sax star, who is currently making a strong comeback. Chet Baker and Russ Freeman stick out amongst the sidemen, and the sound is good mono. Producer Dick Bock says it all: "Ah, the timelessness of good jazz."

ANGELS OF THE DEEP - Sweetbottom - Elektra 6E-156 - Producer: Sweetbottom - List: 7.98

This debut LP by jazz/fusion group Sweetbottom will undoubtedly lead many to compare the sound of the four -piece band to Weather Report. Like Weather Report, Sweetbottom, seems more concerned with well-defined melodies and clean arrangements than with wandering improvisation. But that's not to say that this album is rigid or lacking in spontaneity. "Electro Strut" and "Amazon Ritual" effectively showcase the musical diversity the group is capable of.

PASSING THRU - Heath Brothers - Columbia 35573 - Producers: George Butler & Heath Brothers - List: 7.98

Jimmy Heath, who plays reeds, and brother Percy, who plays bass, are the featured brothers, although a third member of the clan, drummer Albert, is also present. There are features for each of the leaders, and the musicians are augmented by a small brass ensemble in spots. The material is mostly original and all of it is well done. An excellent showcase for each of the leaders.

MAIN EVENT - Herb Alpert & Hugh Masekela - A&M 4727- Producer: Herb Alpert & Hugh Masekela - List: 7.98

This is the second album this year for the jazz/pop team of Alpert and Masekela. Recorded live at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles and the A&M soundstage, the LP combines the Latin rhythms of Alpert's trumpet -playing with the Afro -jazz influences of Masekela's flugelhorn improvisations in the spon- taneous atmosphere of a live performance. Backing the horn players is a six -piece group which shines on "Besame Mucho."

LIVE MESSENGERS - Art Blakey - Blue Note LA473J2 - List: 9.98

Knockout stuff by two of Blakey's very best groups and all performances are new to LP. The first three sides include Fred- die Hubbard, Wayne Shorter and Cedar Walton while the last side has Lou Donaldson and Clifford Brown. Spectacular music and a good candidate for reissue of the year.

ON JAZZ K mart Expansion Stirs Much Debate

(continued from page 401

Maynard Ferguson survived a close call during his current national tour. It seems as though a truck carrying sound equipment was stolen while the band was in San Fran- cisco. Fortunately, the local police were able to recover the vehicle with equipment intact. Ferguson's latest album is "Car- nival" on Columbia.

Michael Cuscuna in Los Angeles perus- ing the Blue Note vaults. Michael thinks there may be as many as 60 high -quality Blue Note LPs that have never been Issued.

The Milestone Jazz Stars tour continues to roll. The band (Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter and Al Foster) has been recorded In San Francisco and is scheduled to be recorded in future concerts in Chicago, at the University of Wisconsin and at Yale. Current plans call for a double album to appear in November, shortly after the conclusion of the tour. Speaking of Ron Carter: a single of "N.O. Blues" Is due momentarily from Ron's "A Song For You" album.

Mongo Santamarla has been signed to Tappan Zoe, the Bob James CBS label. In other Columbia related -news: Eric Gale is busy at work on his third LP with Ralph McDonald producing and Irakere, the Cuban band which appeared at the New- port Jazz Festival, Is set for release in a couple of months.

10 -LP Jarrett Set Due LOS ANGELES - ECM and Warner Bros. Records will release "The Sun Bear Con- certs" by Keith Jarrett this month. The 10 -

LP set is a recording of five Jarrett concerts recorded in Japan in Nov.1976. Jarrett also begins a national tour in conjunction with the release beginning Oct.15 at the Metropolitan Opera House In New York City. He performs in Los Angeles Oct.29 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and Pasadena Civic Oct.30.


this year and plans to open another 20 in 1979, has formulated a new prototype for their record outlets, according to A. E.

Geigle, national retail sales manager for the chain. Though the exact size of the new record outlets have yet to be determined, he said that the departments will carry a full line of catalog records and tapes with lower fixtures "to give the customer a better view of what we have to offer."

Eyes On K mart Speculating that one of the reasons

K mart has expanded is because "they've seen what superstores like Tower and Peaches can do," Eric Paulson, general manager of rack sales and service for Pickwick International said that the eyes of the industry are on the K mart chain. "Peo- ple are going to watch the new stores very closely," he said. "Expansion in large volume stores where traffic is good may prove to be a future consideration for a number of other chains as well." He added that one of the possible benefits of expansion to other mass merchandisers could come through residual sales from other product lines within record departments.

Could the expansion of discount store record departments someday threaten the sales of specialty retailers? Harold Okinow, president of Lieberman Enterprises, thought not. "The American public has almost unlimited capacity for absorbing new product," he said. "I don't think the industry has even come close to saturating the market potential for pre-recorded product."

Interpreting K mart's increased emphasis on records as an attempt to "get more business from their existing clien- tele," Okinow stated that the chain's program "certainly won't result in the kind of planned visit that a potential customer will make to a super retail store like Peaches." K mart executives declined to comment on the concept behind the growth of their record departments.

Inexperience,SoundTroubles Overcome By 'The Wiz' Crew

Cookie Amerson LOS ANGELES - The making of the film and soundtrack, "The Wiz," proved to be a

unique experience for the many veteran movie and singing artists associated with its development, according to producer/arranger Quincy Jones, who told Cash Box, "This was my first experience working on a musical, and I found that only two of the on -going crew had ever worked on a musical before."

Jones added, however, that rather than being a hinderance, this brought the entire crew and talent associated with the project closer together. "Because everyone was basically new to making musicals," he pointed out, "there was a phenomenal feeling of togetherness. No one had to deal with any sort of ego problem and the only attitude that developed was one of getting the job done right."

Jones discussed the elaborate costum- ing and staging for "The Wiz," saying, "Everything had to be watched very carefully; we had three people with binoculars constantly watching to make

certain that the lip-synching was in order. At one point, we had 25 miles of linoleum laid in New York City in 27 degree weather, which called for extra hard work from everyone under not so good conditions. But everyone pulled together in the right manner to make everything happen smoothly."

"The Wiz" was an especially unique experience for Jones because many of the tunes had already been written by Charlie Smalls. This meant that Jones' function mainly concerned gathering and pulling together elements from other sources, rather than starting from scratch himself. "When I finally decided to do the soundtrack, I took a look at several other musicals such as 'West Side Story," 'Mary Poppins' and others to get a feel for what I

would be in store for," Jones said. "When I

realized that I would have 9 singing principals, 300 musicians, 105 dancers and several more, then I knew I really had a job on my hands."

Though sound quality is of the utmost importance in a movie soundtrack marriage, the transition from singing to speaking


MERCURY HAS AMBITION - Phonogram, In./Mercury Records has recently signed the group Ambition to a recording contract. The outfit's first single, "Whisper A Love Chant," will be released in late October. Pictured (l -r) in the top row at the signing are: Charles Fach, executive vice president /general manager of Phono/Merc; Frank Virtue and Sam Peake, co -producers of the group's single; Roscoe Wedgeworth of Ambition; Maryann Vir- tue, engineer at Virtue Studios; and Norman S. McGee, writer of the single. Shown in the bottom row (l -r) are: Rodney Butler, Bobby Howard, Lawrence Wedgeworth and Larry Debnam of Ambition.

THE RHYTHM SECTION MAJOR RADIO CHANGES - Sonny Taylor, program director at WWRL in New York resigned as of last Friday. Taylor said, "It was a frustrating and grueling 31/2 years, and I

simply plan to rest for a while before considering doing anything." Lee Michaels, most recently music director at KDAY in Los Angeles will be operations

manager at WGIV in Charlotte. Michaels will be responsible for both music and programming in that position starting this week.

Manny Clarke, program director at WGIV has resigned as program director, but will remain on the air at the station.

Larry Williams, operations manager of KUTE -FM in Los Angeles has resigned to run his own station. Williams purchased a daytimer in lnyo County California that he plans to turn into an adult contemporary format aiming for 18-49 demographics. Also in partnership with Williams is KUTE chief engineer Burt Weiner. The partners purchased the station for $65,000 of their own money and plan to change present call letters to KNYO. Replacing Williams at KUTE will be BIII Stevens, who has been morning man with the station for 5

years. SWITCHING IN THE WEST - Marty Mack, west coast promotion person for Mercury Records will be leaving that position to move into a west coast regional position with Atlan- tic Records. TESTIMONIAL-Testimonial dinner for Bobby Earls of WBOK in New Orleans will be held at the New Orleans Hilton Hotel Oct. 27. Entertainment for the evening will be provided by Solar recording artist Shalimar. Speaker for the event will be Black Music Association co- founder Ed Wright. SPINNERS/ELTON JOHN - The Spinners have recently completed their tenth album for Atlantic Records. The album entitled "Spinners -10" was produced by Thom Bell, and is

scheduled for a November release. The first single "Are You Ready For Love" is a tune originally cut as part of the Elton John album produced by Thom Bell that has since been scrapped. The group and Elton then decided to do a duet and put it on their next album. The single will be released in Mid -Oct. cookie amerson

must be paced so that the audience is un- able to pinpoint when a song begins and dialogue ends. Jones said, "We were able to make all transitions of songs and dialogue very smoothly, and our master engineer did more than his share in that area, which also encompasses the sound.

Sound Quality "One of the major reasons I got away

from scoring films three years ago," Jones continued, "was the fact that the songs you hear on the film never sound as good as when they were recorded. The movie industry has always been years ahead of itself with regards to filming techniques, but at the same time it was years behind itself in sound quality. After a person has worked hard to create a certain sound, you want the public to be able to enjoy that sound, not some reasonable facsimile thereof."

To overcome this problem, a system was developed by engineer Bruce Sweiden which reportedly retains more of the stereophonic sound from the original session. The system, called Acousonic's, more readily lends itself to a natural sound, whereas other systems may employ dis- torting additives. Commenting on this system, Sweiden said, "The system was really developed by accident. While we were trying to create another factor, we noticed the improved sound we were getting from the equipment."

Based on response the company has received from the release of the single "Ease On Down The Road," MCARecords has implemented an extensive marketing and merchandising campaign for the album.

Bob Siner, vice president of marketing for MCA Records noted, "We have developed one of the most extensive marketing/merchandising/promotonal campaigns for the 'Wiz' albums that we have developed in a long time. We have elaborate merchandising materials, such as 4X4s, display mobiles, dump boxes, stand -ups, banners, 18X24 posters and stick pins. There will be a massive consumer/trade print advertising campaign supported by heavy radio and TV buys. On a promotion end, we are hitting in all areas, this album is a mass appeal dazzling fantasy piece of product that everyone can identify with, and we are making every effort to penetrate the market to the fullest ex- tent."

Goings Signs With ICM LOS ANGELES - Jimmy Goings and Santa Esmeralda have signed a pact for worldwide representation with ICM of Los Angeles. A Japanese tour has been completed by the group with southern U.S., Mexican, European and Mideast dates scheduled.

Also pictured are the following Y100 officials: Muzzy, air personality; Coltene Cassidy, ,Y100 music director; and Robert W. Walker, Y100 air personality. "The Wiz" stars Diana Ross and Michael Jackson.

CBS v. ASCAP & BMI Case Taken By Supreme Court


mance rights for music in films. Ap- propriate agencies would be created to handle such negotiations and the licensor "cartel," as CBS sees it, would be removed.

Bork's Brief Former antitrust chief Robert H. Bork

filed a friend -of -the -court brief on behalf of numerous composers, attacking the lower court's ruling. The 'price fixing' ruling threatens to make any economic integra- tion illegal, he said, "... not merely ASCAP and law partnerships, but corporations, sports leagues, joint ventures, and family farms - because each is a combination of persons who could operate individually ..." Similarly, BMI has argued that it is "no more a price fixer than is a wholesaler of eggs who buys separately from a number of farmers and sells them together to a super- market chain."

No hearing date has been set but the court has alotted "a total of one hour for oral arguments" on the case.

BLACK CAUCUS DINNER - The eighth annual Black Caucus Legislative Weekend Din- ner was held recently in Washington, D.C. The highlight of the event was CBS Records donating $25,000 dollars and recording artists Earth, Wind and Fire donating $15,000 dollars to the Congressional Black Caucus Legislative Intern Program.

lot about the nature of the black market, and how to cater to its particular needs."

Success With L.T.D. However, the cornerstone of A&M's

success with L.T.D. was the company's confidence in the group, despite the disap- pointing sales of their first three albums. "We were lucky that Jerry Moss is a record man," Vickers said, "because how many companies would accomodate us if we went to them with three non -hit albums and said we weren't satisfied with our previous producers? But through Tentmakers, our management people, the company hooked us up with Bobby Martin, and that's made all the difference."

Martin, a veteran of the pioneering Gamble -Huff production team in Philadelphia, produced L.T.D.'s "Something To Love" album, which went gold and contained the hit single, "Back In Love Again." Martin has teamed up with the group again for "Togetherness," which has already yielded the cross -over hit, "Holding On."

Tour Support Aside from the benefits of recording with

Martin, L.T.D. strongly believes that A&M grew to appreciate the value of strong and extensive tour support that is particularly vital in the black marketplace. "We begged them to let us go out to stations and stores," Vickers recalls," and since there are ten men in the group, we were able to cover a lot of promotional ground."

In fact, the promotional structure of A&M's special projects division, in- augurated in 1976, has been credited by A&M executives as a crucial factor in the company's penetration of the black market. LOS ANGELES - Ariola Records has three "Visibility is the key," commented Edmun- albums scheduled for release this son, "and our four regional people, in- month,includirg "Obscure Alternatives," cluding Boo Frazier in the east, Robert York the second album by Japan, and label in the midwest, Veta Victorian in the south, debuts by The Three Degrees, "New and Brenda Johnson in the west, have done Dimensions," and Bandit, "Partners In a remarkable job with our product." Crime."

Frazier, the dean of the special projects staff, stressec the importance of working closely with the smaller "Mom and Pop" accounts to insure a thorough coverage of the market. "You can't be successful otherwise," Frazier siad, "and that's one area A&M has concentrated on - covering everybody."

Changes In Radio Another key, according to Harold Childs,

director of national promotion for A&M, has been the new receptiveness of black radio to progressive product. "The radio situation has changed so dramatically," Childs said, "with the new black progressive stations being given a wider scope of product to choose from, that it was perfect for us with agroup like the Brothers Johnson, who were accepted across the board as a result of this receptiveness."

Childs also cited A&M's overall promotional structure as being especially advantageous to black groups. "The entire company is involved in one promotional effort," he emphasized. "Not only do the special projects people cover the black stations, but so do our local promotion men in every city. As a result, the black stations are likely to be contacted twice on a particular product, which further enables us to build a strong base in each market. And the special projects people also promote all our artists, like Chuck Mangione, Gino Vannelli, and Gato Barbieri. Combined with the fact that our roster is very selective and carefully chosen, I think this helps to build our overall credibility."

If two Nick Gilders presented a problem for some, one Heart did the same for others. Mushroom Records awarded ICM booking agency a platinum record acknowledging the firm's support for the group's "Magazine" album. Since there was only one record, the folks at ICM decided to rotate the award whereby each person will get to display in his or her office for two weeks then pass it on ...

Empire Stresses Convenience And Service At New Facility In Chicago CHICAGO - September 25 was a red letter day in the history of Empire Distributing, Inc. since it marked the start of operations in the firm's new plant at 2828 N. Paulina in Chicago. The existing structure is a modern, one-story building that contains 81,000 square feet of space for convenience and service. As an added accom- modation there is a 200 -car capacity parking lot located within 50 feet of the front door.

Upon entering the building, a spacious fully -carpeted display floor is in view. Here is where the equipment is showcased, the very latest products displayed in specially

designated areas for vending and music. Across the floor, behind a 22 -foot service counter, is the combined parts and logic department, conveniently placed so that the customer does not have to go up to a second floor area to check or exchange boards; and the new parts department will stock a greater supply of merchandise, more readily pinpointed by a novel location finder system.

Data Processing Next to parts and logic are the electronic

data processing accounting departments, each in a separate, self-contained office.

CHICAGO - The AMOA board of directors, in an unprecedented move, voted to allow coin -operated gaming equipment to be exhibited at the 1978 AMOA convention. However, as pointed out by the association's executive vice president Fred Granger, exhibitors must adhere to certain "strict conditions" in accordance with both city and association regulations.

Foremost among these stipulations is that only coin -operated gaming equipment will be allowed. Also, the machines must be set to accept tokens only and they are limited to vending no more than one token per person. Additionally, gaming equipment must be confined to a segregated area within each exhibitor's space. And although specially appointed AMOA committee will be on hand during exhibit hours to monitor all gaming exhibits, exhibitors must secure their own uniformed guard service to prevent underage visitors from playing the machines.

The decision comes after about two years of contemplation, according to Granger. "The board began to change its thinking," he said, "at the realization that our convention had developed into one of the three major expositions of its kind, on an international scale." A convention of such worldwide scope, he added, cannot be overly restrictive.

Gaming equipment is permitted in numerous countries outside of the U.S. and, since approximately 32 foreign coun-

Novices Vie In $20,000 Tourney COLUMBUS -A $20,000 tournament, unique because it limits competition to novice players only, has been launched in the state of Ohio by Shaffer Distributing Co. and Tournament Soccer as a promotional tie-in for tournament soccer's new 50 -cent table, the TS -226.

Qualifying rounds, consisting of four weekly tournaments, are currently being held in 300 locations throughout the state. Fifth week playoffs, in the categories of open doubles and women's doubles, will follow, with first and second place winners competing in the finals at the Southern Hotel in Columbus.

The tournament, which began Sept. 25, has succeeded in accomplishing the main objective of the sponsors, namely the promotion of 50 -cent play, explained Chuck Farmer, Shaffer's vice president of sales, adding that the distributor has "sold and delivered 300 of the new tables" to Ohio operators.

tries were represented at the 1977 exposi- tion (with an increase expected in '78) the AMOA board took this into consideration, along with the reported trend towards U.S. acceptance of the equipment.

Granger stressed further that, while allowing gaming machines to be shown this year, AMOA intends to see to it that exhibitors conform to regulations and will take whatever steps are necessary to protect the industry's image.

'800' Game Feature Highlights United `Aristocrat' Model CHICAGO - "Aristocrat," distinguished for its sounds and unique "800" game concept, is the latest United six -player shuffle alley to come off the assembly line at Williams Elec- tronics, Inc.

On this solid state model, the noted Williams' electronic sounds accompanying the play action give the effects of falling pins, strikes, spares, et al, for a realistic play atmosphere. The 800 game, relying on Aristocrat's individual player memory which records the number of strikes each player has accumulated, provides an added incentive since extra throws and multiple points can be earned for strikes thrown when the machine's flashing lights are red.

The new model offers the game choices of flash, strike 90, roto and regulation; with a "high score to date" feature on regulation

`Aristocrat' play. Cabinetry and design are colorful and attractive and Aristocrat is light weight at 390 pounds. The model's dimensions are 21/2 feet wide by 81/4 feet long.

automatic hydraulic levelers which can ac- commodate any size truck from pickup to semi. Additionally, separate staging areas are provided for incoming, outgoing and export freight and adjacent to the shipping dock is a packing department and a jumbo garbage compactor. Especially noticeable is the absence of the antiquated elevator which was a frequent source of traffic snarls at Empire's previous building.

All equipment in the new plant is on one floor, in specifically labeled tiers; the dock's function being to get customers in and out as rapidly and efficiently as possible. Em- pire plans to eventually install a Qwip system so that, through use of the telephone, bills of lading may be instantly, transported from the front office to the dock.

The new facilities also offer a number of employee accommodations such as a sub- sidized lunchroom catered by a

neighborhood restaurant, refrigerators and microwave ovens for the "brown baggers," and a television for employee use during lunch time.

CHICAGO CHATTER The upcoming IAAPA convention is shaping up just beautifully, with some 695 booths allot- ted to over 300 exhibitors, at this writing, and the association's local office is still processing inquiries. It is expected that over 7,000 visitors will attend the three-day show and participation from the coinbiz ranks is also on the rise, with some regulars taking additional space this year and a few newcomers sponsoring exhibits for the first time. Show dates are Nov. 16-18 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, and the customary series of industry workshops will be taking place Nov. 14, 15 and 16. The Hilton will be the headquarters hotel. Inquiries about the show should be directed to the IAAPA office at 7222 W. Cer- mak, No. Riverside, III. 60546. Phone number is (312) 442-5866.

STEPPED UP PRODUCTION SCHEDULES have been the order of the day at the D. Got- tlieb & Co. factory - to meet the demand for "Close Encounters," the firm's current best seller - and marketing vice president Tom Herrick couldn't be happier about it.

MIDWAY MFG. CO.'s service manager Andy Ducay will be heading for Houston, Texas shortly to conduct an Oct. 20 service school at H.A. Franz & Co. Prior to this, service rep Steve Horve will be holding a two-day school at Don's Vending Ltd. in Edmonton, Canada.

TONY GALGANO, WHO'LL BE EXHIBITING as Galgano/Lormar one -stop for the first time at this year's AMOA convention, is looking forward to the show and hoping to greet a

lot of ops at his booth. Also on hand will be a couple of other industry vets, Tony Ignoffo and Frank Scardino, who joined the Galgano organization when Tony bought Lormar a few months back.

ATTENTION PHONO OPS: The Kendalls, who are enjoying a very big year on the country charts, are reportedly attracting some jukebox attention with their current hit "Sweet Desire" and the flip side "Old Fashioned Love" (Ovation). Dave Webb of Ovation Records invites ops to write for sample copies. Address is 1249 Waukegon Road, Glenview, Ill.

60025. PINBALL CHAMPION Ken Lunceford has become somewhat of a national celebrity

since winning the Bally "Super Shooter" competition. He's made numerous appearances at shopping malls, Aladdin's Castle grand openings and at Marriott's Great America. Next up is network television, where he'll guest on the youth oriented "Kids Are People Too" program, demonstrating his pinball expertise on the giant Bally "Big Foot." Airing date (on

ABC-TV) is Oct. 29 - so be sure to watch.

CALIFORNIA CLIPPINGS Lila Zlnter has been named marketing director at Exidy. Zinter, who formerly held a similar position at Meadows Games, said her first priority is the firm's current video game, "Foot- ball." She also said Exidy will begin testing two new pieces this week, to be followed by

another game that will make its debut at the upcoming AMOA show. She promised that the

latter piece incorporates some exciting new technology, equally as impressive as the

currently -in -vogue vector monitor. NAMCO AMERICA expects to begin shipping "Shootaway" by the end of this month,

which will mark the first product marketed through the company's new Sunnyvale headquarters. That's the latest from vice president Satlsh Bhutanl, who noted further that he is

looking for experienced service technicians/troubleshooters well versed in all phases of electronics, including PC boards, microprocessors, etc. Qualified persons should contact Bhutani at 343 Gibraltar Drive, Sunnyvale, Calif. 94086. Phone number is (408) 745-7600.

PORTALE AUTOMATIC SALES in San Francisco recently had more than 100 visitors on

hand for its recent game show that spotlighted Exidy's "Football," Ramtek's "Dark Invader" and Meadows "Deadeye." Distrib's Jerry Monday also noted that business is on the upsw- ing, especially among arcade customers, and that equipment currently in hot demand in-

cludes "Sprint 2," "Close Encounters," "Super Breakout" and "Lost World." In closing,

Monday said he is looking forward to some innovative equipment coming out in time for the upcoming AMOA convention and show.

I NTERNATIONAL Effects Of 30% CanCon Rule Still Debated After 7 Years

by Kirk LaPointe In the first of a three-part series, Cash

Box examines, from the artist perspective, the long-term effects of the 30% Canadian content requirements for radio, first legislated in 1971 by the Canadian Radio - Television and Telecommunications Com- mission (CRTC). In subsequent issues, Cash Box will examine the "CanCon" legislation from the recording industry and radio viewpoints.

TORONTO - In 1971, the chairman of the CRTC, Pierre Juneau, announced a radical piece of legislation which compelled AM radio stations to program a minimum of thirty percent Canadian content.

The legislation was designed, as it was put then, "to foster a growing Canadian music scene, to promote the cultural development of Canadian music, and to shed light on the burgeoning music industry in this country."

But the legislation was also a stopgap measure, to prevent the proliferation of American and British music being heard on Canadian airwaves. With eighty percent of Canada's population living within one hun- dred miles of the American border, American dominance of Canadian culture had reached a point where the federal government felt it necessary to take steps to protect a developing industry - that of Canadian music.

Naturally, the legislation met with differ- ing reactions. Radio deeply criticized the move as dictatorial and "creatively stif- ling." The record industry saw it as a chance to at last have their artists heard on national radio. But, the artists' reaction was varied.

Some felt that the legislation was their big break to gain national exposure, in the hopes of later venturing into the United States. But some saw it as a piece of legislation that cheapened their musical integrity. Many felt that the legislation would get them music airplay, not because it was deserving of radio exposure, but because it simply had to be played by law.

The violent reactions have calmed somewhat over the course of seven years, and both artists and industry personnel have had the chance to evaluate fully the legislation's benefits and problems.

'Allows Crap To Be Played' "Canadian content allows crap to be

played," says David Clayton -Thomas, lead singer for Blood, Sweat and Tears, and a

native Canadian. Thomas, who was an established Canadian artist before the legislation with hits in the late sixties and early seventies, denounces the legislation as "heightening a prevalent defeatist attitude among Canadians.

"The ruling has reinforced the belief that

Canadians are inferior to Americans. The CRTC has propagated the idea that we cannot hold our own with the Americans. Sure, our culture is dominated by Americans. They are so large in number. But that is a reality of life and nothing to feel inferior about."

He sums up his feelings on the subject by saying, "I wish the government would take care of our economy, instead of worrying about how much Bee Gees music we hear."

Keep Canadians Aware Bruce Cockburn, a veteran Canadian

folk artist whose albums have achieved creditable amounts of acclaim and success in North America, said in a recent interview that the legislation has definite problems, but that "in essence, it has kept Canadians aware of what their artists are doing. We are swamped by an American influence in every aspect of culture. All I think the legislation has tried to do is keep our guys in the limelight, make us proud of what we have. There is really nothing harmful about that."

Some have argued that the legislation has led to the development of ancillary industries related to record manufacturing. "No doubt about it," says Bill Henderson of Mushroom recording artists Chilliwack. "Because record companies have had to produce Canadian content, and are even being enticed to produce it, they've had to expand their operations up here, and sign more talent. Also, the facilities for recording in Canada have dramatically improved, in part because of the legislation."

Henderson also believes that Canadian talent is getting a much better shot at making stars of themselves, because radio has granted many groups national exposure. Henderson, who formed The Collectors almost a decade ago, says that times have changed the prevailing attitudes of Cana- dian record companies.

Incentive To Sign New Acts "People are resigned to the legislation,

and it has meant that they now see the possibilities of capitalizing on Canadian talent. As such, they've really tried to seek out and sign good Canadian groups. Naturally, to be a success, it has to be 'in the grooves.' But in many cases it has given an artist a break, and earned him attention from the American industry."

But many doubt that the legislation has been directly responsible for leading a Canadian artist to the attention of American companies. In some respects, they feel it has had a negative effect on producing Canadian stars.

Tim Ryan, a member of former CBS group Jackson Hawke, says that the CRTC ruling is scoffed at below the border. His

Berry And Draper Upped In Virgin Reorganization LONDON - Ken Berry has been appointed president of Virgin U.S.A. and Simon Draper has been named managing director of Virgin U.K., according to an announcement by Richard Branson, chairman of the Virgin group of companies.

Copyright Activities Set By New Brazilian Office RIO DE JANEIRO - As an outgrowth of the new Copyright Act, in force since January 1, 1977, the National Copyright Council has created a Central Collection and Distribu- tion Office (ECAD) which is in charge of the exclusive rights to collect and distribute the performing rights monies earned locally.

At the outset, a small controversy developed out of the confusion over the new law with the 40 -year -old performing rights societies, but now all those organizations are having a seat and a voice at the ECAD.

Under the provisions of the new law, all repertoires including international must be registered with the National Copyright Council by the local societies representing foreign organizations.

Without this registration, no money is produced. BMI has signed an agreement with the attorney Henry Gandelman, to represent BMI Interests in Brazil cooperating with composers and publishers societies (SBAT, UBS, SICAM) and ECAD.

VMI Restructures Distrib. Network TOKYO - Victor Musical Industries has reorganized its sales organization with the establishment of "Kansayl-Sokatsu- Eigyojo" headquarters of both distribution and sales in Kansayi-district in Osaka to meet the market expansion.

The newly established "Kansayi- Sokatsu-Eigyojo" started Sept. 21, 1978 and it handles the Kansayi-district (Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo and closed prefectures).

In addition, some of the arrangements for the expansion of sales networks in Kyushu area have been accomplished by establishing the Kagoshima branch under the control of Kyushu-record-Eigyojo. The Kagoshima branch is to cover Kagoshima, Miyazaki and Kumamoto prefectures.

I NTERNATIONAL Loggins Is Named Exec. Director Of WEA Int'I A&R LOS ANGELES - Dan Loggins has been appointed executive director, international A&R for WEA International, according to a recent announcement by Nesuhi Ertegun, president of WEA International.

Prior to his new appointment, Loggins was executive director of A&R at CBS Records in the United Kingdom.

In making the announcement, Ertegun outlined the duties of his new A&R chief. "Dan will make the three WEA companies in the U.S. more conscious of the important records by the WEA International companies around the world. And on this two- way street, he will bring to the attention of the WEA International companies the new and significant signings and releases by the U.S. companies.

"Because of our recent growth, this re- quires the establishment of closer and more extensive liaison among all our companies. Dan is the right man for the Job and he will have the advantage of his prior successes as he keeps in touch with the top managers and producers in both the U.S. and foreign markets.

"WEA International is always looking for new talent and so it's a plus to have Dan head up our 'eyes and ears' department. It's an important and high level move on our part."

At CBS in the UK, Loggins is credited with bringing in an artists roster that included Johnny Nash, David Essex, Mott The Hoople, as well as recent chart successes Crawler and Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds" project. Prior to CBS UK, Loggins was merchandising director at Fillmore Records in San Francisco. Before that, he was manager at Discount Records in Menlo Park, California.

A native of California, Loggins will head- quarter In New York and report directly to Ertegun.

group had a Canadian hit in the song "You Can't Dance" and in the cover version of Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic." But the American release of both the single and the album from which they were culled was disastrous.

"A Canadian hit is no longer regarded as a special thing by Americans," Ryan said over a year ago. "The Americans see the success of a Canadian single as natural, because of the large amount of airplay given to anything reasonably good in this country. They (Americans) say, 'Well, they've got to play it.' It lessens the value of a homespun hit."

Stations must now play 20 percent local music and record companies hope this will increase further soon. The decision was announced by the Minister for Post and Communications, Tony Staley.

The Australian band Stylus has signed a contract with Motown Records. They are the only group to sign with the label this year. The contract is believed to be for 7

Entertainment Co. Follows Through On Albums It Produces (continued from page 26)

Koppelman emphasizes the fact that, just as the material is the key to a hit record, The Entertainment Company's publishing operation is the key to its production arm. And, by linking the two functions together, he says, the firm functions "as a real old- time music publisher.

"Years and years ago," he explains, "the publisher was the most powerful individual in the business. The publisher was like the A&R man: He found the song, and in many cases, he paid for the record and promoted the product. I don't think it's ever going to come to that. But the song is ever - important. And my feeling is that imitation is the best form of flattery. We're really successful at what we do, and a lot of other people are going to try and do the same thing."

Koppelman says it is always to the artist/songwriter's advantage to sign with a strong publisher, rather than to form his own publishing company and get another firm to administer his catalog. "We're not interested in administering anyone's copyright," he says. "The publishing business is a residual business that lasts for a long time. You're building an asset for yourself and the writer ... If they (writers) are interested in exploiting their copyrights above and beyond their own recordings, I

would find a publisher. "And what is a publisher? He's someone

who loves songs. A publisher is someone who has enough contacts within the industry, and can hear a song, envision that song for another artist, reach that artist, or that artist's producer, and convince those people that it's right for that artist.

"Usually the last person to think a song is right for another arist is that writer/artist. A songwriter who is not an artist absolutely needs a publisher to walk the street, and find prople are going to record your songs. You just can't get in the door, you can't find the artist. You end up in that usually giving away your copyright either to the artist or the manager or the producer, because you can't reach the artist in any other manner.

"We are publishers in every sense of the word ... When a writer comes here and turns his song over to us -a song that we love, otherwise we wouldn't take it - we are really unrelenting when it comes to finding

P/M Signs Ambition NEW YORK - Phonogram, Inc./Mercury has signed Ambition to an exclusive recording contract.

SURVIVING - Amherst Records recently presented a check for $500 to the West Broad branch of the Buzzard's Nest record store in Columbus, Ohio. The shop took first place in the label's national "Survival Kit"display contest. Pictured at the presentation (standing, l -r) are: Barb Chinsky, west coast merchandising director for the label; Jeff Koloskus, store manager; and Rose Gissin, Amherst's east coast merchandising manager. Shown seated (I- r) are: Mike Barnes, regional sales managers for Action Music; and Wally and George Buzz, the store's co -owners.

the right record on the song. And if the first one isn't the right one, we continue going and get the second one and the third one and so on. And you can only look at our track record."

New Artist Label Koppelman has the same attitude toward

acts that he sig'is to The Entertainment Company's record label. "Manhattan Records is a label specifically for new artists who we find and who we have plenty of time to develop. If the first or second or tenth album doesn't make it, we believe in that artist and we stay with them. There's not a great deal of pressure; Artie Moguil (co -principal of UA Records, which dis- tributes Manhattan) is a very good friend of

ours. They know that eventually an artist is going to emerge, and we're going to have ourselves a real winner. But it's not a pressure situation."

So far, Manhattan has signed Billy Falcon, Henry Gaffney and Richie Snyder (writer of "Superman"). Gaffney's debut recently shipped; Snyder's LP is on its way to the stores; and the new Falcon album is expected to be ready just after the first of next year.

After having worked in nearly every major area of the record business, how does Koppelman feel about his present role at The Entertainment Company? "It's terrific," he replies. "I can make acquisitions. I can sign songwriters. I can exploit their

copyrights. I can be head of A&R, because I

have my own 20 -artist roster. I just have the best of all those worlds. And the nice thing is that I'm the president and the chief executive officer, and I can follow my instincts all the way through. If I believe very much in

a song, I can see to it that a major artist records it. If I believe very much in a record, I can see to it that the record gets its fair due. And that's the best thing of all: Very seldom will I not know whether a record is a hit record. Very seldom will a terrific song go unrecorded. It's nice to be able to follow your creative instincts, and to have the power and the strength to have them come to fruition. I don't think that many people have that opportunity."

MERCHANDISING

A 'FIRST CLASS' MURAL - As part of its in-store promotional display for The Boones' album "First Class," on Lamb and Lion Records, Great American Music Store in Golden Valley, Minnesota painted the mural pictured above. "First Class" features gospel -flavored songs from the four Boone sisters, led by Debby Boone.

Music Plus Adds Promo Man To Staff To Work With Labels (continued from page 14)

tion man, where I don't have a reason." Everything Covered

Parks, who has been in his new position for slightly more than a month, says, "I will primarily be working with various promotion departments of all of the record companies in helping to break new acts and make sure the stores are covered for in- store artist appearances.

"By me being right here," Parks said, "I will see that everything is taking place. A lot of times, without a person there to see that everything is running smoothly, a lot of things don't get taken care of. We like to make sure that with an artist appearance, we have enough LPs, 8 -tracks and cassettes of that artist's product."

Parks said another advantage of a chain having its own promotion person is that they usually show more care in creating promotions or know better what displays will work in their store than a record company's promotion man who might put up the same display at three or four different chains.

Boost Consumer Interest Both Fogelman and Parks said they want

to expand the types of promotions usually only done in Hollywood to other locations. Appearances by artists to stores in outlying areas would help increase consumer interest, they said, as well as make the most

Peaches Creates 'War Of The Worlds' Promo LOS ANGELES - Peaches Records is introducing an in-store, 3-D display concept of Jeff Wayne's "War Of The Worlds" album in conjunction with Columbia Records. Consisting of 10 -foot replicas of Martian - like spaceships complete with walking pods and viewing ports, the merchandising display will be showcased at each of the more than 30 Peaches outlets.

The "War Of The Worlds" display was recently unveiled at Albumart, a division of Nehi/Peaches, which manufactures hand - painted 6 X 6 album -art boards, window displays and Peaches record crates. Tim Bruckner, head of the newly created 3-D art department at Albumart, is responsible for creation and design of the alien craft display.

"War Of The Worlds," a two -record musical interpretation of the science fiction novel by H.G. Wells, is composed and produced by Wayne and features the narration of Richard Burton and the music contributions of Justin Hayward, Julie Covington, David Essex, Phil Lynott and others.

of a particular artist's local stronghold. "If Van Halen is happening in Pasadena

because it's a local group, that doesn't mean they can't go over to San Gabriel or over to Glendale and from there jump over to someplace else," Fogelman said.

"Those kinds of things have to be stressed more, both for our good and the manufacturers' good and I think John can help with that very much being our promotion man," according to Fogelman.

The labels so far have greeted the new position with enthusiasm, Fogelman said, and see it as a sign of commitment on the part of Music Plus to the importance promotion.

"We are feeling our way along right now, but it seems to be working very well," Fogelman said. "As the manufacturer comes to recognize what we are doing, he will take more advantage of it, and as he takes more advantage of it, we will be able to take more advantage of it and we will both be able to learn from it."

Casablanca Starts New Disco Promo LOS ANGELES - "Everybody's Doing It .. Who Does It Best" is the new nationwide disco record promotion from Casablanca Record & FilmWorks. Developed and carried out by Casablanca director of special projects Michele Hart, the project will get maximum exposure for the label's fall disco release through dance contests in major cities throughout the country.

Casablanca is supplying the music and prizes for the dance contests, which are being held at various locations in the more than 15 cities which are involved. Contest kits for the discos include "Everybody's Do- ing It" T-shirts, posters, and the full line of records which are featured in the dance contests. Featured records include Donna Summer's "Live & More," Village People's "Cruisin'," Meco's "Wizard Of Oz," Leroy Gomez' "Gypsy Woman," Pattie Brooks' "Our Ms. Brooks," and Paul Jabara's "Keeping Time."

Grand prize winners in each city receive a year's disco record servicing from Casablanca, including 12 -inch non - commercially available disco discs.

New Merch. Co. Formed LOS ANGELES -A new company, Multi - Media Marketing, has been established in Los Angeles. Designed to create promotional merchandising programs for the recording industry, the company is
