It's expected a rushwill be put on the release of"Corrina Corrina" for the U.S.,current chart climber of the popu-

lar new Canadian group. Their al-bum, "Official Music", containingthe "Corinna" cut is expected tobe released in the U.S. by mid -October.

Theflip, "I Didn't Love You Anyhow",was written by Stampeder RonnieKing.

Berandal to releaseNfld song folioThe past few months have seen anincrease in the popularity of songsabout Newfoundland. Perhaps thebiggest demand has come from thedisc popularity of "Newfie Screech"by Stevedore Steve .and "There'sNo Price Tag on the Doors inNewfoundland" by Clint Curtissand the Clintsmen, both onDominion.There has also been a great demandfor the Wilf Doyle penning of "ILove Newfoundland", which wasreleased as a single by Tex Shawon the Banff label.In view of the heavy demand,Berandol Music has scheduled a"Folio of Newfoundland Songs"containing twenty four selections.This is the second such folio tobe released in the past year.Andrew Twa, president of Beran-dol, expects to have the folioavailable for dealers before theend of the year, at which timethe company will launch an ex-tensive national promotion di-rected at distributors.

but a couple of Daffodils are already blooming very sweetly

CORINNA CORINNA THE KING BISCUIT BOY

with CROWBAR

Pulled by popular demand from the "Of- ficial Music" album, this first Daffodil

single has achieved spectacular sales of near 20,000 copies.

Released in the U.S. this week by Para- mount Records, "Corinna Corinna", ap- pears likely to be the next international

hit from Canada. Spectacular action in many major mar-

kets. In Toronto, #14 after 4 weeks on CKFH, #23 after 3 weeks on CHUM.

Charted and playlisted in many markets including: Peterborough CKPT #27 ; Re-

gina CKCK #40, CJME HB; Calgary CKXL #13; Edmonton CHED #33; Saska-

toon CKOM PL; Halifax CJCH HB. Charted at #40 on the RPM Top 100 and

#6 on Top Canadian Singles chart.

A major market smash now breaking into regional markets. A sleeper hit, which

you should re-examine.

DAFFODIL SBA 16001

OFFICIAL MUSIC THE KING BISCUIT BOY

with CROWBAR

Without a word of hype, this is the fast- est selling Canadian -made rock album in

history.

And little wonder, when you consider the phenomenal amount of airplay, both AM

and FM, accorded "Official Music" na- tionally.

For example, CKFH in Toronto has been playing the 10 -minute "Biscuit's

Boogie" track up to three times daily, even in its morning shows. One of the five best selling albums in

Winnipeg (check CFRW), #8 on the CKOC Hamilton best selling L.P. list,

play on CKLG-AM and FM, CKVN, CFOX, CHUM -FM, CKLC.

U.S. release has been set for October 8th. on Paramount backed by a massive

promotion campaign. You're going to be hearing a lot more from the King Biscuit

Boy and Crowbar. And from Daffodil too.

Video cartridges . . .the coming thingby Stan Klees(Guest writers appear in RPM,from time to time,writing on sub-jects they are particularly conver-sant with. Stan Klees, well-knownproduction and industry consult-ant has been commissioned toresearch several areas of the in-dustry and in particular the adventof video tape. This is his thirdarticle on the advancement of thetape scene in the past sixteenmonths. -Ed.)On May 26th, 1969, I wrote an arti-cle for RPM which was titled, "AreWe Being Led Into Video Tape?".The article implied that tape andtape cartridge activity would some-day lead us into a new form of homeentertainment which would allow usnot only to hear the sound of music,but to view the musicians perform-ing. In the November 1st, 1969 is-sue, I was commissioned to do afollow-up article because CBS hadjust introduced the EVR (Electron-ic Video Recording) unit, and haddemonstrated it in Canada.Fifteen months have passed sincethe first article, and today interestin combined sound and picture forthe home in pre-recorded packagesis running high. Many new systemshave been developed, and many newcompanies are being formed to pro-duce and distribute the many formsof software for the various types ofvideo recording that will becomeavailable over the next few years.A number of incompatible systemshave already been introduced. CBS'EVR was one of the leaders, as wasRCA's Selectravision. Sony recent-ly came out with Videocassette andAvco, Cartridgevision. Innovationsin the different systems allow foranything from straight play of a pre-recorded program to automatic tap-ing of television broadcast or homevideo taping using a small handheld camera, similar to the eightmillimetre movie craze.Cost of the systems ranges from$300 to whatever you can afford.Cartridge cost would start at aboutdouble the price of a standard LPand go up to the neighbourhood of$25 for a feature length motion pic-ture. A recent announcement fromTwentieth Century Fox that theyintend to convert over a thousandof their motion pictures to the EVRsystem for home viewing greatly in-creased interest in the system.Early reports that the first setsto appear on the market would have

Yorke scores heavilywith native talentRPM's Ritchie Yorke has provento be an exceptional asset to theCanadian music industry over thepast couple of years. Besideswriting for Toronto dailies, theGlobe and Mail and the Telegram,he figured prominently in therecent CRTC hearing which led tothe thirty per cent legislation ofCanadian content for AM radio.He personally appeared beforethe Commission with an impressiveplea on behalf of the recordingindustry.During his tenure with the TelegramJuly 20 through August 26, Yorke'scoverage of the pop music sceneexceeded the sixty percent domes-tic content figure. Sixteen out oftwenty seven features were de-voted to Canadian talent. Someof the pieces included articles onJoey Gregorash, Chris Kearney,Five Man Electrical Band, DeeHiggins, Bush, and King BiscuitBoy and Crowbar. Others receiv-ing the Yorke touch and who per-haps owe their success in theindustry to Yorke's coverageinclude: Edward Bear, MotherTucker's Yellow Duck, Sands ofTime, Gordon Lightfoot and Ron-nie Hawkins.

I read Jim Smith's article titled,"MLS....Following the Dodo?" inyour September 12th issue of RPMwith great interest because I havebelieved in the theory of the MLSfrom the very beginning. I sincerelybelieve the possibility of the MLScollapsing, as mentioned in Jim'sopening paragraph, does not cometo pass.After talking to people in the tradefrom time to time, I found many tobe critical of the MLS and few withwords of praise. I would be the firstto admit it can be extremely dis-appointing to see one of our Cana-dian releases receive a "low vote"

which in turn will limit airplay inmany influential markets; however,on the other hand, when a releasereceives a high percentage of votesthe result is simultaneous airplayby MLS stations and also by non-member stations who watch theresults of the MLS conference callsclosely. We have had some losersbut in all honesty, after listeningto these releases without beingprejudiced, I can see why they re-ceived a minimum percentage ofvotes....they just didn't have it inthe grooves. The MLS have beenmore than fair with us on suchreleases as "Ten Pound Note"by Steel River, "Still Hill" bythe Happy Feeling and "Higherand Higher" by Canada Goose, toname a few. On the latter, after are -service, they were fair enoughto judge this record on its per-formance and gave it the highestvote in their recent conferencecall. In effect, you could say manyof the stations admitted they werewrong in the initial vote someweeks back and my hat is off tothese stations for having enoughguts to admit they were wrong, andreally Walt, who is ever 100%right in picking hits. Since theMLS gave "Higher and Higher" thenod, it has given the record a shotin the arm with new chart listingscoming in daily.One more point to remember isthese conference calls must costeach station a few hundred dollarsa month, which is their personalexpense: an approximate total of$2600 monthly towards promotingCanadian talent.Speaking for Quality Records, Isay thanks to the MLS for at leastattempting to do.something to pro-mote Canadian Talent, and to thecomplainers I say, "To Thine OwnSelf Be True".Lee Farley, General Sales Mgr.,Quality Records Ltd.

HATS OFF TO MAPL LOGO

First of all, congratulations to RPMfor coming up with the distinctiveeasy to identify and understand logoto specify Canadian content. It iseasy to spot, and in a glance givesall the necessary information aboutall-important Canadian content.You've done it again; another first.Secondly, congratulations to therecord companies who had thebrains to use it on their labels.In the old days (Thank God they'regone) if a record label showedCanadian content, it was like the

Starting a giAny new business might reasonablybe expected to have calculated itsexpected cost of operation. A rockmusician, whether he likes it or not,is a businessman, and prudence suggests that his operation be conduct-ed in a business -like manner. Thealternative, as many musicians havediscovered, is bankruptcy court.Few newcomers realize how hightheir expected expenses really are.For descriptive purposes, let usbegin with the popular, and relative-ly inexpensive, Beatle-like quartetof lead, rhythmn,and bass guitars,and drums. Virtually all other com-binations imaginable would be moreexpensive than this.

The first problem is predicting howmuch power and clarity one requiresMost musicians will never progressbeyond small halls and clubs. How-ever, many rock bands will want toplay in outdoor concerts and haveaspirations of performing in arenasas large as Maple Leaf Gardens.Many beginners make the costly mistake of choosing inadequate powerand clarity and are forced to tradeup from their initial equipment. Wecan base our calculations on a hallthe size of Maple Leaf Gardens (al-though only a handful of groups outof the thousands starting will everplay there) because a like amountof power would be needed to playalmost any outdoor concert.

The most important aspect of amusician's sound is not his instru-ment, but the equipment that ampli-fies the sound. The lead guitaristfaces the greatest expense in ampsbecause his sound is out front andmust be the clearest. Musicians callthe power unit, or amplifier, a"brain". The brain is connectedto speakers which come in separatecabinets.Most guitarists seem to prefer a hundred watts of power at an averageprice of $970 for brain and speakersEric Clapton uses this size unit.The smallest possible unit whichwould be sufficient for our purposes,and sacrificing much clarity, wouldbe fifty watts and would cost about$600.

The bass guitarist would requirethe same brain but smaller speak-ers. His unit could be purchasedfor about $850. Knock off yet an-other $80 or $90 for the rhythm gui-tarist. Suppose the drummer to bean introvert, and do not give himany amplification (but recognize thatthis is uncommon) .Therefore, just to amplify the musicwe haven't made yet, we have incur-red expenses of $2600. To makemusic, we require instruments.

A litter of giraffes . . . if they only knew

by Ritchie YorkeCanadian radio stations havetaken the brunt of the blame forour long dormant domestic musicscene, and in many cases, withgood reason. While we writerswere busily dropping depthcharges and assorted incendiarybombs upon radio station roofs,we somehow missed firing a fewrounds into the second key offend-er - record companies.Canadian record companies,generally speaking, were soapathetic and antiseptic aboutmost of their local product thatit's no wonder so few domesticdiscs used to make it. In fact,the more one thinks about it, themore you start to wonder just howmuch more active the local scenewould be if there were some live -wire promotion people around.But it's not just Canadian productthat suffers in this abscess ofapathy. All product is being hurt.There is hardly a record companyin Canada with an efficient andimaginative promotion department.And the bigger the company, theworse their publicity mouthpiece.Two of the biggest record com-panies in Canada (and the world)can't even summon up enough en-thusiasm to send me their new re-leases and printed info, despitenumerous complaints.Both of these companies are nowoutlaying a lot of money in localproduction. But what's the point?Why bother to spend $10,000 onan album, and not even bother tosend either a copy or a promogrease to the country's key jour-nalists?The ironic thing is that if theNew York offices knew about this,they'd have a litter of baby giraf-fes on the spot.Another major U.S.-owned label

manages to send out promo copiesof its product, but no publicitymaterial. When you get upwardsof 50 new albums a week, youbetter believe you need a littlehype to get up enough energy toplay them all.This same label, one imagines,would have trouble selling dopein Yorkville. They may have theright product, but they don't letanybody know about it. So muchfor the majors. Let them staycooped up in their corporate cob-webs, trying to figure out justwhich department is supposed toservice writers.But what about the independents,who - one would assume - needpublicity more than anyone, be-cause of their lack of U.S. dollarsand catalog repertoire.Only two of the Toronto indepen-dents have any idea at all aboutpromotion. The rest might as wellnot exist. In fact, the largest in-dependent production company inCanada has yet to find time tosend me a single press release.Getting pictures or records outof them is like trying to pull afront tooth from a grizzly bear.

Starting a group . .

first get a lawyer Any new business might reasonably

be expected to have calculated its expected cost of operation. A rock

musician, whether he likes it or not, is a businessman, and prudence sug-

gests that his operation be conduct- ed in a business -like manner. The

alternative, as many musicians have discovered, is bankruptcy court.

Few newcomers realize how high their expected expenses really are.

For descriptive purposes, let us begin with the popular, and relative-

ly inexpensive, Beatle-like quartet of lead, rhythmn,and bass guitars,

and drums. Virtually all other com- binations imaginable would be more

expensive than this.

The first problem is predicting how much power and clarity one requires. Most musicians will never progress

beyond small halls and clubs. How- ever, many rock bands will want to play in outdoor concerts and have

aspirations of performing in arenas as large as Maple Leaf Gardens.

Many beginners make the costly mis- take of choosing inadequate power and clarity and are forced to trade

up from their initial equipment. We

can base our calculations on a hall the size of Maple Leaf Gardens (al-

though only a handful of groups out of the thousands starting will ever

play there) because a like amount of power would be needed to play

almost any outdoor concert.

The most important aspect of a musician's sound is not his instru-

ment, but the equipment that ampli- fies the sound. The lead guitarist

faces the greatest expense in amps because his sound is out front and

must be the clearest. Musicians call the power unit, or amplifier, a

"brain". The brain is connected to speakers which come in separate

cabinets. Most guitarists seem to prefer a hun- dred watts of power at an average

price of $970 for brain and speakers Eric Clapton uses this size unit. The smallest possible unit which

would be sufficient for our purposes, and sacrificing much clarity, would

be fifty watts and would cost about $600.

The bass guitarist would require the same brain but smaller speak-

ers. His unit could be purchased for about $850. Knock off yet an-

other $80 or $90 for the rhythm gui- tarist. Suppose the drummer to be

an introvert, and do not give him any amplification (but recognize that this is uncommon)

.

Therefore, just to amplify the music we haven't made yet, we have incur- red expenses of $2600. To make

music, we require instruments.

by Jim Smith

With a good sound system, a gui- tarist could easily make do with a

"cheap" $100 guitar, but instru- ments, more than amplifiers, are status symbols, and musicians buy

the most expensive models. Guitars costing up to $700 are very popular

with lead, rhythm and bass guitar- ists. An average would be between $400 and $500. Ignoring vanity,

settle for the minimum total group expenditure of $300.

No respectable drummer would

settle for a set worth less than $800. Settle for that amount and no more.

Only $3700 has been spent, and al- ready we can make music. But, be- cause we do not yet have a PA sys-

tem, we cannot vocally accompany ourselves. PA is expensive and

cannot be avoided. Scrimping here, or choosing poor value, can ruin the

entire sound. We require at least one hundred watts of PA. Cheap

sets of this size cost about $225 and better models can cost $800. The more you pay, the better con- trol you get. Expensive PA systems

kTIONS ACROSS CANADA)

Yorke scores heavily with native talent

RPM's Ritchie Yorke has proven to be an exceptional asset to the

Canadian music industry over the past couple of years. Besides

writing for Toronto dailies, the Globe and Mail and the Telegram,

he figured prominently in the recent CRTC hearing which led to

the thirty per cent legislation of Canadian content for AM radio.

He personally appeared before the Commission with an impressive

plea on behalf of the recording industry.

During his tenure with the Telegram July 20 through August 26, Yorke's

coverage of the pop music scene exceeded the sixty percent domes-

tic content figure. Sixteen out of twenty seven features were de- voted to Canadian talent. Some

of the pieces included articles on Joey Gregorash, Chris Kearney, Five Man Electrical Band, Dee

Higgins, Bush, and King Biscuit Boy and Crowbar. Others receiv- ing the Yorke touch and who per-

haps owe their success in the industry to Yorke's coverage include: Edward Bear, Mother

Tucker's Yellow Duck, Sands of Time, Gordon Lightfoot and Ron-

nie Hawkins.

confusion which the disc indus- try created with four different

playback speeds. The consumer grows increasingly aware of plan-

ned obsolescence. He looks at the outcome of the disc speed/

diameter/hole size war and real- izes that he has been forced to buy equipment capable of playing all four speeds and of handling

three diameters not to mention having to go out and buy a single

adapter. In order to make machin- ery of such diverse talent, there

must be a substantial sacrifice in quality as compared to equip-

ment capable of playing only one speed and shape of record.

The battle of the four track, eight track, cassette and open reel rages to this day. It goes without

saying that such a contest can only result in highly reduced total sales, both in software and

hardware.

RPM PROUDLY PRESENTS ... Ritchie,

From time to time we feature articles by experts who guest columns and stories in RPM. No matter where you are in Cana-

da, or what you are doing, drop us a line. You may have a story that will interest

Now enter viaeu tape, in many shapes and sizes. A number of

companies feel that it is too early to choose sides, and con-

sumers are certain to feel the same way.

Closer to the hearts of the disc men is a new system which will

reproduce both sound and picture through a television set. The

Telefunken/Teldec introduction of a video disc has met with

much trade interest. Under the system, a nine inch disc would

hold five minutes of programming, a twelve incher, twelve minutes.

Predicted price range is from $125. up.

The next six months will be an interesting time in the home en- tertainment industry as we watch

ideas become actualities, actu- alities become artifacts, and the cycle repeat itself until the major manufacturers decide what their final position will be and

announce the hardware and soft- ware configurations they will make available. This could be the

biggest thing in home entertainment ment since colour television, and,

if properly handled could well mushroom overnight.

kiss of death; but let's face it,with the Canadian content rulingwe have today, programmers areconstantly on the lookout forCanadian talent, and your MAPLlogo stands out on a label and getsthe record instant attention andaudition.

UNFAIR DIVYING OF DISCSI am writing this letter in con-junction with "Smacks of Dis-crimination", as written by ChrisFord of Radio CKOX, Woodstock,in the August 29th edition of RPM.We at CFOR, Orillia are experi-encing the same problem with thelate arrival or non -arrival of newrecordings. On this occasion, Iam only speaking of rock, whichis my personal concern as I amhead of that department. I realizethere is a problem with the postalsituation, but it's a well knownfact that the major radio stations(Toronto) receive new recordingsfirst, and it's not doing us anygood as far as the listeningaudience is concerned. They,the public, are waiting for thenew material.Saturday nights, based on ratings,are our big nights. We featureabout 75% album cuts on a sixhour show which consists oftoday's sound in heavy music.Time and time again, these albumsare ordered and we receive noreply. Not that every recordingcompany is like this, but themajor ones who seem to be aheadin the business, are letting usdown. I'd like to see a change ifpossible.Don Thatcher,CFOR, Orillia, Ont.

CORRECTION!

RPM inadvertently referred to FM radio station, CJRT, as being

a "student operated station" in last week's issue (Sept. 26/70).

Music Directir, Mrs. Joy MacDon- ald has advised that CJRT became

a professionally -staffed station in 1965.

It should be noted that CJRT is the only Canadian radio station

issuing a chart for classics, which has been dubbed The Top

Ten Plus Thirty. These listings are aired Sundays from 6 AM to

3 PM.

GET INTO THE PICTURE ... in RPM.Ever wonder why OTHER people gettheir pictures in RPM, while you remain -just a reader? One of the first things toconsider is that RPM receives your pro-motional photos. Equally important isthe quality of the photo.

Possibly, if your photos aren't used,it might be that the photographic reproduc-tion was not up to standard. If it is im-portant enough to photograph ...

Music & Artists has bag of talent

Bert Mitford, president of the Toronto -based Music and Artists Agency, has lined up a mixed

bag of talent for noon -time con- certs to be held at the Bay and

Adelaide branch of Canada Trust and Huron and Erie.

Kicking off the series of concerts was a country show (17) which in-

cluded Gary Buck, Donna Ramsay, and The Chaparrals.

Other dates skedded include: Sep. 24 - Andy Blumauer and his

Original Alpine Showband " 25 - Brother Rick Smith and

the Calypso Five Oct. 1 - The Metro Stompers

Gleasonaires release

on Barry

The Gleasonaires, billed as a modern country and pop trio, have entered the disc arena with their

Barry single, "The Missing Link" Both the plug and the flip were

written by Al Carlson of Toronto. The trio, Mat Gleason, an Ottawa

Valley boy and leader of the group; Jimmy Price, lead guitar

and native of Pembroke; and Hal Allison, rhythm guitar, from Oshawa, are currently playing

Windsor's Seaway Motor Hotel. They open at the Carousel Inn, Ajax, for two weeks commencing

October 12th, followed by a date in Peterborough. They'll be play-

ing Toronto's Drake Hotel for several weeks from November 23rd.

New disc release

for Terry Roberts

Terry Roberts has released "The Bed", which was recorded in

Bermuda where this Canadian country artist has become some-

thing of an idol. His last album, also recorded in Bermuda, has been a best seller throughout

Bermuda and Jamaica. He has just completed an extensive tour of

the Sun Islands. His return to Canada has seen him

tape for CBC TV 's "Countrytime" as well as negotiate with CHCH TV for their popular country show.

Roberts releases on the Caravan label.

four. $800 should cover this ade- quately.

At last we have all the equipment needed for a performance. The bill

looks like this: Guitars; amps, speakers....$2600 Guitars 300

Drums .800 PA amplifier 800

Microphones 400 Echo chamber .500

Column speakers 540 Horns 800

TOTAL $6740

Do you carry that much money with you? Almost all musicians would have to borrow to finance this equip-

ment. If you are lucky, the bank might let you have the money for

ten per cent. More likely, you will pay a finance company eighteen to

twenty-four per cent yearly.

Remember, you are a musician. Some one else must run the equipment

while you perform. A sound engi- neer, normally paid about half as much as a musician, is required.

Budget $35 per performance as the minimum cost for a sound man. Many

groups carry their own lighting

equipment and handlers, but ignore this and pass the expense on to the

promoter.

Now we can make beautiful music, but unless we intend to spend the

rest of our careers playing in the same spot, we will need transpor-

tation. Renting a truck is one pos- sibility, but if we plan to travel a

lot, we will save money by buying our own. Budget $3000 for trans-

portation. Obviously, we can expect an initial

outlay of $10,000. Ten per on this is $1000 a year. Optimistically

we can expect to pay $100 a month in interest.

And we don't even have a job yet. A booking agent lets us play at

places he controls for his cut, a minimum of fifteen per cent of the

gross. Being musicians, we need a manager to handle the many business

details we now encounter. An aver- age cut for a manager is twenty per

cent. A good manager can command much more. A good manager is worth every penny. Then, there's food and lodging while on the road. Anyone who has

priced hotels lately can verify that this is not an inconsiderable ex-

pense. Fifteen dollars per man per day seems like a conservative es-

timate for this expense. Remember that there are at least six persons

in our group of travellers, the four musicians, the sound engineer, and

a road manager, (most groups em- ploy several equipment handlers),

so you can count on at least $90 a day while on the road. If we drive

to gigs, we can deduct another five cents per mile from our earnings.

Flying is much more expensive. What can we expect to earn? Many

bands today can command at least $500 per engagement if they are good enough to become concert cir- cuit regulars. Good performers can find fairly regular bookings two or

RPM 3/10/70 - - - 23

three times a week for up to $1500. The money looks very good, but

remember that even before your expenses are deducted, and your

share of the gross is only sixty- five per cent, and there are four

group members. Many stars can sad- ly verify that people who command

$3000 or $4000 for one appearance, often end up taking home $35 a

week.

So, before you launch your career, look around for a good lawyer to

represent you in bankruptcy court.
