Courts WillDecide WhoControls BCM

by the M&M Staff

The BCM Records saga hastaken a dramatic new turn, withthe very ownership of the Germanindependent dance label now indispute. As M&M went to press,a Dusseldorf court on May 23was due to consider a petitions byboth founder Brian Carter andSam Kleinman, each seeking togain control of the company.

Kleinman, owner and presidentof Los Angeles -based RomanceRecords, says that since January30 he has controlled the firm afterbuying an 88.5% stake forDM481.000 (app. US$283.000)from Carter. However, sourcesclose to the situation say thatwhile Kleinman has signed a let-ter of intent to buy the stake, hehas yet to invest the money inBCM.

Carter, however, disputesKleinman's position. Says Carter,"All of the claims [by Kleinman],as far as I'm concerned, are false

TV Loses Its Edge As RecordIndustry Promotion Tool

by the M&M staff

The poWer of terrestrial TV as apromotional tool for the Europeanrecord industry is diminishing,based on a survey of major mar-kets by M&M. Those coun-tries-namely France, Germany,Italy and the UK-lack regular,specialised TV pop shows, andthat's hurting the chances for

breaking new talent.The situation is probably most

critical in Germany. The nume-rous variety shows of pubcastersARD and ZDF feature mostly es-tablished artists. To make the situ-ation even worse, two importantshows have been dropped: theweekly chart show Formel I and,most recently, Mensch Meier.

The only national video clip

programme is "Ronny's PopShow", hosted by a chimpanzee.At most, this show is aired twicea year for half an hour.

German private TV has two re-gular shows: RTL Plus with theSaturday afternoon feature"Ragazzi", and Tele 5's "P.O.P."

Sony Music International isplanning a radical reorganizationof its Continental European oper-ations, which appears likely tostrip away a layer of regional sen-ior management.

Jorgen Larsen, president ofSony Music InternationalEurope, has resigned. He hasheaded the company's regionalEuropean operations since 1984,and was appointed president ofthe unit in January 1990.

Three Bids ForUK Radio Licence

by Hugh Fielder

The UK's first national commer-cial radio station (INR1) couldopen up the radio market to a newrange of advertisers.

Diane Gault, head of radio atleading media independent CIA/Billett, says despite the obviousadvertiser appeal of an EHR for-mat, the "non -pop" format couldwork in INR1's favour. "What'sexciting about INR1 for adverti-sers is that it provides a nationalaudience at one stop. It can openup the market for advertisers whohaven't used radio before." Sheadds, "After all, advertisers werefalling over themselves to getonto Jazz FM when it was firstlaunched.

by M&M after the ruling weredivided over its significance.

The Manchester band, whosedebut album has sold 300.000copies in the UK, had been pre-vented from signing a deal by acourt injunction. They are nowrecording a single for release "assoon as possible". A secondalbum is due later this year.

The group were not in court tohear the judgement, but their ma-nager Gareth Evans said, "Theyare obviously pleased with theoutcome." There was no com-ment at presstime from Silvertoneand Zomba, which face costs thatcould reach £700.000 (app. US$1.2 million). They have yet to de-cided whether or not to appeal.

Judge Humphries describedThe Stone Roses' 1988 contractswith Silvertone and Zomba as"entirely one-sided and unfair."He said there had been no

equality of bargaining power be-tween the inexperienced groupand the companies' "considerableresources". Mr. Evans, their soli-citor at the time, was not an expe-rienced music business lawyerand was "no match whatsoever"for the expertise of the compa-nies' lawyers. Judge Humphriesadded, "No one on the group'sside was competent enough to ne-gotiate this contract."

The seven-year contract theband signed with Zomba, whichsubsequently assigned the groupto its Silvertone label, could havebeen indefinite, without a US re-lease. Zomba's counsel PeterPrescott QC accepted that part ofthe contract had become "garb-led" and, read literally, could bindthe group for life. But read as awhole, it was not unfair. But thejudge said that the "garbled" partof the contract was "entirely clear

NEM SIGNS WITH BMG - NEM Entertainment has just concluded anexclusive sub -publishing agreement with BMG Music Publishing for theworld outside the US, Canada and Japan. Pictured during the compa-ny's recent international repertoire meeting in New York are BMG MusicPublishing Worldwide president Nick Firth and NEM president Ira Jaffe.

Virgin Buys EG's Back CatalogueVirgin Records has acquiredworldwide rights to the EG backcatalogue, which includes the en-tire Roxy Music and KingCrimson output, as well as recor-dings from Brian Eno, RobertFripp, Killing Joke, PenguinCafe Orchestra, Toyah and theEditions EG catalogue.

An EG spokesperson says,"For some time we have lookedfor a suitable long-term home forour back catalogue which would

guarantee its continued availabi-lity of this wealth of great musicon a worldwide basis. Virginprovided that opportunity."

EG continues to operate as anindepedently-owned label licen-sed worldwide through Virginand its current release scheduleincludes albums by Robert Frippand Toyah Wilcox, RobertFripp's League Of CraftyGuitarists and Bill Bruford'sEarthworks. HE

and unambigious." In 1989, afterthe band had achieved success,Zomba tried to amend the con-tract, to make it "suitable forcourt scrutiny", but it was neversigned by the band. A chequesent to Evans was "a bait", thejudge said, and cashing it did notconstitute acceptance.

Humphries accepted that rec-ord companies take "a considera-ble risk spending money to sup-port comparatively unknownartists, who may never succeed.But these considerations did notjustify taking such complete andexclusive control of The StoneRoses."

John Kennedy, the music bu-siness lawyer who began advisingthe band after Zomba's proposedrevisions to the contract, says thecase has no great legal implica-tion for the record industry. "Itshouldn't have record companiesshaking in their shoes. It was asurprising case to come to court."

Other music industry lawyersagree. James Ware atDavenport Lyons says, "The abi-lity to sterilise an artist canweight heavily with a judge.Record companies too often blindthemselves to the law, until it isstuffed up their noses."

Simon Long at the SimkinsPartnership comments, " Judgesfeel the period of exclusivity istoo long. This places UK compa-nies in a difficult position be-cause if they want to licence anartist to the US they will want asimilar number of options. I haveworked with successful danceacts and we've had to go back tothe UK company and give themmore options because the UScompanies want three or four al-bums ."

Paul Woolf at Woolf SeddonRoscoe Phillips believes that anycontract over seven years couldbe a risk. "Record companiesknow that, and they are movingaway from the obligation on anartist to record within a fixed pe-riod to an obligation to record acertain amount. It's a fudge onrestraint of trade."

EMI Records director of busi-ness/legal affairs Gareth Hop-kins says, "We tend not to specifytime periods because, if you re-ally want to stifle creativity youtell an artist to deliver an albumin six months. But there is a'question mark as to how long is areasonable contract."

Boosting National RepertoireTop Priority For Labels

by Mal Sondock

In a recent letter to the editor,(M&M May 18) Sony MusicGermany MD JochenLeuschner pointed out that alt-hough sales in the G/A/S territo-ries were the highest in industry'shistory, national repertoire stillhas much smaller share of salesthan in other countries. He saidthe lack of broadcast media, theuneasy relationship with "ourown" language and that mostyoung performers hoping for in-ternational success perform inEnglish is causing the problem.

He is not alone with thosefears. Remarks East-West GMJurgen Otterstein, "The situ-ation is very depressing. The'Neue Deutsche Welle', our mostsuccessful period of German lan-guage pop, gained real public in-terest. The record companieshave to learn from the past anddevelop and promote local artistsproperly.

"We need a better infrastruc-ture; better artist management,agencies and certainly morecooperation from the broadcastmedia. There is almost no newpop music on TV, and radio play -lists are compiled from chartshere and abroad as well as foreignlanguage oldies. Our goal is to

change this situation."The demand for German pop

has never been stronger. For thefirst time ever a live album (byWesternhagen, a German rockartist) has achieved double plati-numstatus. The first album byMatthias Reim was awarded tri-ple platinum.

Comments Electrola MDHolger Muller, "The 'NeueDeutscher Welle' failed becausewe copied the Anglo-Saxon popscene. There's just not enough in-teresting local product on themarket to make the necessary im-pact.

"There is plenty of talentaround, but new artists are notmarketed as well as internationalstars. Other companies have alimited amount of time andmoney for local artists due to thedemands by their internationalstars. We are concentrating on na-tional product and are devotingthe time, finances and manpowerto achieve our goals.

"We are working more closelywith producers, publishers andconcert promoters to give localartists the same chance as interna-tional ones to break onto the mar-ket. In fact, their chances are in-creased, by their availability forpromotional activities."

BMG-Ariola-Munich GM

l'homas Stein sees a reason forthe situation. Says Stein,"Political problems and wars haveturned contemporary pop musicinto more of a sponge than a uni-que and innovative entity.Germany has been willing to takein everything. No other majormarket will do this.

"It's logical that small countriessuch as Austria and Switzerlandshould have their sales charts do-minated with foreign material, asthey have a small local pop indus-try. That's not the case inGermany. We have had conside-rable success exporting hard rockand disco product and there is anincrease of national product inour album charts.

"But we have a problem withsingle hits as radio here usuallyplays foreign chart hits and rarelylistens to local production when itis offered to them. We are settingour goal on upping the present fi-gure of a 25% share of the marketfor national product to 40-50%.And we are more than willing tocooperate with other German rec-ord companies in order to achievethis aim."

With the national repertoiremarket share hovering at 40% inall the major markets in Europe,the German record industry goalseems very realistic.

German Publishers Strike BackAt SWF's Schlager Take -Off

by Robert Lyng

The Association of GermanMusic Publishers has struckback in response to aSfidwestfunk advertising cam-paign in which SWF 3 presentersstrongly criticise German schla-ger repertoire. The Association'sdirector Dr. Hans HenningWittgen, in an official statement,accuses the Baden Baden -basedpublic pop station of attemptingto censor listeners taste and ofboycotting a professional group.

The advertising campaignshows SWF 3 presenters saying

"Yodel Yokels. schlager apes andjolly music monsters increasinglyfrighten peaceful pop fans. Ourever -alert SWF 3 presenters haverecognised this danger and warn:listeners, forget about the schla-ger." One presenter has written,"I've broken with schlager be-cause I don't want to be cruel tomy cat."

Wittgen says "German -langu-age schlager has enjoyed conside-rable popularity for years and iscurrently experiencing a renais-sance, as attested to by increasingviewer and listener ratings forfolk music and schlager program-

mes. An increasing number ofstations broadcast this genre.

"Such artists as WildeckerHerzbuben and Matthias Reim,whose Verdanimt, Ich Lieb' Dichwas last year's best-selling record,are achieving multi -platinumsales."

Wittgen adds, "It is shockingthat presenters from a public sta-tion have polemicised againstthose involved in German -langu-age music in such a rude and un-qualified manner, as well as cal-ling on their listeners to boycottthese composers, lyricists, artistsand their music."

Eye Q Steps Out With WEAEye Q, a new Frankfurt -based in-dependent dance label founded byMattias Hoffmann, Heinz Rothand Sven Vfith, has signed a spe-cial distribution deal with theHamburg -based major WEA.Vath and Hoffmann have alreadyhad artistic international dance -floor success under the names Off

and Musaic, respectively.The deal is similar to the one

between Logic Records (SNAP)and BMG Ariola Munich. Oncean Eye Q release has passed theDJ/dancer test in selected clubs,and- demand grows in specialisedrecord shops, WEA will use itspower as a major to "assure that

the latest trends quickly reachdancefloors all over the world."Eye Q joins WEA's recently foun-ded Club Culture dance label, asthe company's second foot on thedancefloor. The first acts to appearon Eye Q include Sunchil, featu-ring Joanne Shenandoah, TeAtua and Blu Love. RL

KEEP ON SAPPING - At a concert in Zurich, EMI-Electrola GMHelmut Fest awarded Cologne -based rock group BAP with a platinumaward (sales over 500.000) for their record "X fur 'e' U". Pictured se-ated (l -r): Electrola marketing manager Willi Bongard; "Effendi" Biichelof BAP and Steve Borg of BAP.

Radio Salii's BoulderStance Reaps Promo PrizeOne of the few EHR stations inGermany, private Radio Said/Saarbriicken, has come up witha unique promotion idea and it'sworking. The jury of "Werby'91", a contest for the best adver-tising campaign, were so impres-sed with the station's efforts theyawarded it first prize.

The station has the motto "OneStation -All The Hits" and theyfeel that the best way to hear

them is with the sound turned up.Salii GM Dr. Herbert Winkel

remarks, "If the best way to listento our station is loud we needed aposter to shout our message. Forus advertising can only be effec-tive if it's fun". Therefore, the sta-tion came up with a citywide pos-ter campaign showing a hugeboulder falling on a car with thecaption "Shame about the radio".

Labels Explore ExpandingRegional Radio Promotion

by Hugh Fielder

Record companies are poised to in-crease their regional radio promo-tion teams to reflect independentradio's growing audience figures.While the economic climate makesit hard for them to add extra staff,promotion heads are looking foropportunities to improve their co-verage outside London.

Comments RCA promotions di-rector Nick Godwyn, "Independentradio is becoming more importantin helping to break records. Before Ileft Virgin last year we put an extraperson on the road with full officeback-up and I have been having thesame discussions here. It is difficultin the wake of the redundancies thathave just happened at BMG, but Iwould really like to have someoneon the road full-time."

Godwyn stresses the importanceof getting new acts to undertakeradio promo tours. "It's a strongelement in our marketing strategy.We are asking all our acts to visitradio stations whenever possible or,

if they don't have the time, to do asmany phone interviews as they can.Londonbeat, Rick Astley andDave Stewart have done it andknow the benefits. I am convincedthat the impact Londonbeat makewhen they show up in person hasdirectly affected the number of hitsthey've achieved."

IR Growth TrendsClaire Farrell at AVL regionalradio promotions says his label hasbeen aware of the IR trend for thepast year. "You can see from the JI-CRAR figures that in many big ci-ties there are more people listeningto the IR stations than to [BBC]Radio 1. Getting on the A -list atthe top five or six regional stationscan be as effective as the Radio 1playlist. Maxi Priest's Close ToYou and Chris Isaak's WickedGame are good examples of singlesthat broke on regional playlistsfirst."

Adds Farrell, "I am lucky be-cause, both Matthew Austin (headof promotion) and Charlie Dimont

(MD) understand the importance ofregional radio. In fact they haveboth been out on the road with me."Austin confirms that AVL has beendevoting more time and money toregional radio in the past year. "Theproblem is convincing other depart-ments that it can have a strong ef-fect. What we've done is to tie ourradio reports in with sales reports.And we've been able to demon-strate the effect with the Divinyls' ITouch Myself, which registeredgood sales in the North East aftergetting excellent rotation on MetroRadio."

Q Phonogram promotion direc-tor Martin Nelson is also thinkingof expanding his regional promo-tion team. "The new audience figu-res for independent radio are veryencouraging and I've got somebodyout on the road now, researchingthe effect it can have on sales, bytalking to stations and retail outlets.People should be shouting abouthow well local radio is doing at themoment and we should be suppor-ting them."

Cadena COPE OutlinesNew Religious Ideology

by Howell Llewellyn

Spain's second biggest radio group,the 120 -station Cadena COPEnetwork, must consider itself as the"loudspeaker" and not the voice ofthe Catholic Church, an EpiscopalConference has announced.

The Conference's MediaCommission, chaired by BishopAntonio Montero, published its"COPE Ideology" on May 6 in abid to balance the ethical and com-mercial needs of the network, inwhich the Church holds an 80%stake (M&M March 30).

The "Ideology" reads, "It suppo-ses a missionary presence towardsits general audience, who are notnecessarily religious. By conside-ring itself to be Catholic it placesitself in the framework of the ge-neral aims of the Church, and moreconcretely, maintains an evangeli-cal presence amongst the public."

COPE director of religious andsocial programming Padre JoseLuis Gago says there would be nochange in format as a result of thenew "Ideology", which he descri-bed as a normal document. "There

will be no functional changes. It isa question of consolidating a phi-losophy that is already there, aquestion of feel. The issue is moremental and intellectual than practi-cal."

But does it mean that DJs onCOPE's 66 FM pop stations will bequoting "The Bible" betweensongs? "No," says Padre Gago,"although it is true that the aims of

the "Ideology" will be more diffi-cult to achieve on the FM sta-tions."

Padre Gago says there may wellbe Christian commentary or analy-sis on some news programmes,"and even on FM if music from,say, Godspell, is played, then I'msure there may be room for aBiblical reference."

Excellent Radio Vintage,Says New Carat Report

by Emmanuel Legrand

"The 90-91 radio vintage will beexcellent." That is the conclusion ofan analysis of the recent nationalMediametrie radio ratings resultsfor the first quarter of 1991 (M&M,May 4), conducted by advertisingresearch firm Carat Radio.

Comments the report, "In a year,almost all stations have increasedtheir audience, confirming theSeptember 1990 results. This periodhas been favourable to the 'periphe-rique' [private AM] stations againstFM stations. France Info is aheadof NRJ, and RMC has improved itsfigures. "The beginning of 1991confirms the maturity of the FMnetworks that have stable audiences,and the strengthened advertising ef-ficiency of 'traditional' stations."

Carat notes two strong trendsemerging from the first-quarterratings: The overall growth in both totalaudiences (radio in total reached79% of the 16+ French populationon an average weekday, comparedto 76.4% in November -December1990, a gain of more than half a

million listeners) and listening time(to 196 minutes daily). A new balance between the dif-ferent radio sectors, with audiencesgrowing for "youth -oriented" musicnetworks (NRJ, Skyrock, FunRadio), but declining for "adult"FM stations (Europe 2, Nostalgie,RFM) due to strong competitionfrom AM "generalists" (RU,Europe 1, France Inter and RMC)and all -news station France Info.

Carat's analysis shows that thedaypart with the biggest increase inaudience is 12:00-14:00, up 13%.Audience growth is noted forEurope 1 and France Inter in themorning, at lunch-time for RTL andin the late afternoon for Europe 1and RMC.

Even if RTL has lost someground, it still dominates all the dif-ferent time slots. For Carat, the dou-bling of France Info's audience at7:00, 9:00, 12:00 and 18:00 has"weakened mainly Europe 2 andNostalgie".

But, says the report, "Fortunately,Europe 2 has increased between10:00-15:30 and Nostalgie between13:00-17:00", adding that on the

other hand, RFM's audience "hasdecreased throughout the wholeday". NRJ shows three peaks, at7:00, 10:00 and 18:00, with700.000+ listeners. Carat Radio saysthat the next quarter figures willshow if these are serious trends orjust "accidents" for some stations.

by Jacqueline Eacott

The regional FM network RVSplans to celebrate 10 years ofexistence with a weekend of fes-tivities in its home town ofRouen. The independent radioleader in the Normandy regionstarted broadcasting on June 14.1981, shortly after the newMitterrand governient had beenauthorised the freedom of theairwaves.

"The end of the broadcastingmonopoly was a highly symbo-lic moment," recalls ChristopheBarber. RVS director of com-munication. "We were ready totake the initiative. Our objectivein 1981 was to be the leadingradio in the Normandy regionwhich, after being granted thestatus of a commercial radio, weachieved."

Success SecretsStaying autonomous was the

`secret of survival, says Barber."We knew that it was importantto keep our Indedpendence. Now

we are one of the few radios tohave succeeded in staying inde-pendent, while remaining a re-gional leader."

Looking ahead to the next 10years, Barber remains optimistic."We are still increasing our cov-erage of the region, and havebeen pre -selected for a numberof new frequencies. Now that weare well known in Normandy,our objective is to gain a greaternotoriety on a national level."

During the weekend of June14-15, RVS will entertain its list-eners in Rouen's Parc desExpositions with motorcross ra-cing and 4 x 4 rally races, com-petitions, and free evening con-certs organised in collaborationwith Ricard SA Live Music.The June 14 line-up includesFrench artists Thierry Hazardand Gerard Blanc, and RozlyneClarke.

Indie Label Funding ContinuesFor the second year running,France's Ministry: of Culture is toallocate funds to support indepen-dent labels. A total of Ffr2.5 mil-lion (app. US$430.0(}0) will bedistributed to labels this year toensure "the development of smallproduction structures whose maingoal is to discover new talents".

Labels wishing to benefit fromthese grants had until May 24 R)register with the ministry.Applications will be studied by acommission. which is scheduledto announce its decisions in June.

To qualify for these non -

recoupable grants, a label must beat least one year old, have a ye-arly turnover below Ffr10 million,and present details of its activityfor this year showing that it plansto produce at least three albumsthat are the first or second recor-dings of new artists.

This plan was first announcedin September 1989 by Minister ofCulture Jack Lang and imple-mented in 1990. Ffr3.25 millionwas allocated in 1990 to 18 diffe-rent labels covering a wide rangeof styles. They included Bleu

Citron Oazzt, New Rose (rock).Mande (African music) andBoucherie Productions (rock).Labels received betweenFfrI50.000 and Ffr450.0(X).These funds were used to investin materials as well in productionbut they did not prevent one ofthe recipients. Closer, from goingbankrupt.

Boucherie Productions, whichreceived the maximum Ffr450.000in 1990. says it will requestFfr700.000 this year. Internationalmanager Luc Natali comments,"There are no compromises invol-ved. The ministry of culture didn'task for anything in return. It hasbrought us some cash flow andhelped us to produce more re-cords, and in better conditions."

Boucherie is one of the mostactive independent labels. Lastyear it produced 13 albums bysuch hands as GarconsBouchers, Pigalle, TetinesNoires, BB Doc, Happy Driversand Roadrunners. Its 1990 turn-over was Ffr2.5 million. The labelis licenced to Island in France.and distributed by PolyGram. EL

Eurovision Pushes AminaOnto International StageShe didn't win, but she is the win-ner. That's the general feeling inFrance after Phonogram artistAmina was placed second in theEurovision Song Contest with thesong Le Dernier Qui A Parks QuiA Raison, after a tie -break withSwedish entrant Carola.

The gamble of sending a

Tunisian -born artist to representFrance in the contest with a songthat owed as much to Arabic me-lodies as French chanson seemsto have paid off. Amina's inde-pendent promotor in France,Tony Krantz, says that eversince the Rome contest the phonehas been "ringing off the hook"with callers including formerFrench defence minister Jean-Pierre Chevenement and theTunisian minister of education.

Amina's album, Yalil, releasedthroughout Europe by Phonogram18 months ago, is to be reissuedwith the addition of a version ofthe Eurovision entry.

In France, the single is taking

off on radio. AM stations werevery quick to add it to their play -lists, and within eight days of thecontest was at no. 5 in MediaControl's AM airplay chart. FMstations have been "slow toreact", says Krantz, but a promo-tional push is planned, with aremix of the song to be made forFM radio.

Elsewhere in Europe, countriessuch as Austria, Sweden andBelgium did not wait for theEurovision contest to fall forAmina, says PolyGram Franceinternational manager Marie -Agnes Beau. "And Eurovisionhas given a fantastic boost to hercareer. She really made a strongimpression to the audience. Nowall the countries in Europe, andeven Japan, want her for promo-tion. There is still a lot of work todo, but doors are now opening."

An unexpected reaction camefrom BBC Radio 1 in the UK,with DJs, pushing the song andeager to break Amina. Says Beau.

Labels Vie To Trap King Ratby David Rowley

New Swedish hard rock actGreat King Rat have sparkedoff a major international A&Rbattle, with several major inter-national companies understoodto be vying to snap them up for aworldwide deal.

A&R personnel from both theUK and the US have been floc-king to Stockholm to see theband, resulting in a bidding warnot seen in Scandinavia since the1989. flurry of excitement aroundDanish act D.A.D.

The rockers, who are signed to Swedish independent Planet, arebeing shopped for a long-term li-censing deal for the world, ex-cluding Scandinavia. Great KingRat signed a worldwide publis-hing deal with Rondor Music inLondon during early March.(M&M, May 18).

But, says Planet head of A&RFrederik Olsson, who disco-vered the band, there is a signifi-cant difference between the buzzsurrounding Great King Rat andthe attention paid to otherScandinavian acts in the past."What is so special is that we ha-ven't even released a single yet.In most cases when you get thislevel of interest on an interna-tional basis it's because the acthas already achieved a strong do-mestic sales base.

Olssen says he began takingthe act to US labels last Octoberafter completion of a debutalbum-as yet unnamed and un-released-last summer. "Thefirst company to give us any in-terest was Atco in the States, andfrom there things have justsnowballed."

"Obviously, we had some con-tacts before, but we have a lotmore now. People we've neverapproached have been contactingus after hearing fourth -genera-tion cassettes. The real buzzcame at the beginning ofFebruary when different compa-nies got moving again after theChristmas break."

It is understood leading con-tenders in the race for the bandinclude Warner Music, East-West, Phonogram, A&M andSony. But Olsson says the mainpriority for Planet and the bandis getting the strongest possiblecompany to handle the act.

"Obviously no one says no tobig money, but we want to gowith the best. However, if you'vegot the best competing, whoknows how things will deve-lop?"

Olssen adds that the best reac-tions have come from the US rat-her than the UK. "The US com-panies are certainly more opentowards Europe. England has al-ways been a trendsetter; they

tend to look more for things intheir own backyard. I think theAmericans know this and aremore prepared to look outside.

"Obviously, all this interest isgood for the label's future andprofile." Olsson adds that he

wants to speak to every possiblelabel that is interested in thegroup, but says he expects a dealto be concluded by mid -June.

"We really have the impressionthat there is great potential forAmina in the UK. The recordcompany is motivated there, andthe media are keen. Amina willbe going there soon for promo-tion." EL

Ernst Jorgensen. who set upBMG Denmark from scratch al-most three years ago, is to quit asMD at the end of September.However, he will continue with thecompany in a non-exclusive role.

Says Jorgensen, "My contractexpires on September 30. I had athree-year contract with a brief tobuild BMG in Denmark.

"During that period we tripledturnover, acquired the leading in-dependent Genlyd, launched actslike The Poets, Simcess and TheOne -Eyed Jacks and bought ashare of the distribution companyGDC.

"When you reach that point youeither renegotiate or you don't. I'vebeen discussing this with my bossfor a year now and I've decidedthat if you want to achieve some-thing in this business where yourheart is. you can't do it with your

"So we've reached an ideal so-lution where I have a non-exclu-sive relationship with BMG andcontinue to work on acts like TheOne -Eyed Jacks, The Poets,

Simcess and Lis Sorensen."Jorgensen, who boasts an ency-

clopxdic knowledge of ElvisPresley, also remains part of thefive -member BMG committeewhich handles the worldwide ex-ploitation of the Presley back cata-logue.

Radio Kiss Kiss SolidarityPleas Fall On Deaf Ears

by David Stansfield

Key private network stations havesnubbed pleas for solidarity fromRadio Kiss Kiss following theboycott of the network by allmajor record companies.

The action by the majors wasapproved at a recent AFI (IFPIItaly) meeting where it was deci-ded that a San Remo SongContest listener competition, or-ganised by the station was offen-sive and lacking in respect for na-tional artists (see M&M April 6,20).

Radio Kiss Kiss has followedup the blacklisting by sending let-ters to all leading stations reques-ting support, but had received noreplies at presstime. Stations arerefusing to comment officially.

preferring to remain anonymous,but one programme director at aleading network was prepared tosay, "The whole episode mayhave been blown out of all pro-portion but you can't expect soli-darity from a competitor."

Radio Kiss Kiss programme di-rector Gianni Simioli admits tobeing saddened by the silence butsays he is not surprised. "We feela little bit betrayed, but it provesthat the provincial mentality ofthe country even reaches down tothe radio sector. It's OK for sta-tions to keep their heads downand do their own thing, just aslong as something similar doesn'thappen to them in the future.What we did was not revolutio-nary."

Simioni claims that the station

is still receiving records despitethe total lack of communication;product is coming from compa-nies that include Warner MusicItaly, CGD and BMG. All threedeny this and Warner radio pro-motions manager SandorMallasz adds, "We instructed ourdepot to stop all product going tothe station. Some records mayhave slipped through, but our de-cision rests until AFI states other-wise."

Ernesto Magnani, GM at theAssociation, made it clear thatany change of stance is unlikely,adding "The station will be black-listed forever as far as we areconcerned. There will be no ne-gotiations. Dignity is not negotia-ble."

The station received the musicfrom the show via satellite whilelive comments and interviewsfrom DJ Grant Benson atWembley were received by telep--hone. Benson says. "We have tothank the Unique BroadcastCompany and the BBC for giv-

ing us broadcast facilities. Moststations will have taken the showby land line, but the inefficiencyof telephones would have meantit would have taken months, notdays, to organise."

DJs Guido Monti, RonnieJones and Nicoletta De Pontiwere the anchors for the show,which ran from 20.30 to 02.00hours.

Journalists and an Italian RedCross official also made live con-tributions at the Bergamo -basedstation.

It is the first time that RTL102.5 has broadcast a live con-cert. Programme director/DJMonti comments. "We are proudof the fact that the public couldlearn more about the Kurdish pro-

blem and also enjoy the concert.With RAI dropping out at thevery last minute, the event wouldhave been missed if we had notpressed ahead with the pro-gramme."

Audience reaction was sostrong that the station repeatedthe music part of the programmefrom 21.00-24.00 hours on May19. RAI's failure to deliver theprogramme has come under at-tack from some of the nationalpress. They are claiming that be-cause of its status as state broad-caster it receives priority screen-ing options and reserves itsdecision until the last minute inorder to block out competition.RAI is refusing to comment onthese accusations.

Five Thirty13th Disciple - East WestThe perspective of this young trio is very70s influenced: rhythm guitars are used incombination with a wah-pedal. Could dowell on both alternative formats and EHR.

Massive AttackSafe From Harm - CircaWith the atmospheric synthesizer sounds,the hefty bassline and the irresistible vo-cals by Shara Nelson, this follow-up to theEuropean hit Unfinished Sympathy, is li-kely to be as big.

Roger Milla

Dance With The Lion - ColumbiaHe was the star at the 1990 World Cupwith the Cameroon squad. Remember hisdances next to the corner flag after celebra-ting another goal? If not, ask Maradonna.Now Milla is swinging on a modern dancebeat with a jungle approach.

T'PauWhenever You Need Me - SirenSerious comeback of the band who had ahuge European hit with China In MyHands in 1987.

Temper TemperIt's All Outta Lorin' You - TenOn the follow-up to Talk Much, the modernsoul duo sure know how create a hypnoti-sing sound.

Tol & TolSedalia -IndiscFeaturing The Thesalonikis on vocals, thetwo former Dutch BZN members Cees andThomas Tol go Greek on their new single.The melody is very reminiscent of JanHammer's Crockett's Theme from the popu-lar TV series "Miami Vice", and was inclu-ded on M&M's music Monitor CD -insert inissue 14.

DJ Stevie B.The Wanderer - Columbia (Austria)Remix of Dion's 60s classic in a contem-porary dance mould with a rap on top.Sounds like a novelty hit with the samereach as Edelweiss.

ALBUMS

Elvis CostelloMighty Like A Rose - Warner BrothersThis new album harks back to the underra-ted album Imperial Bedroom from 1981.The song material on the MitchellFroom/Kevin Killen/MacManus co -produ-ced album ranges from ultimately catchypop songs like How To Be Dumb andGeorgie Had A Rival to over -the -top weird-ness on Hurry Down Doomsday (The BirdsAre Taken Over). The latter track featuresJames Burton (of Elvis Presley fame) onlead guitar, and guitarist Marc Ribot, who'sresponsible for the giant insect mutation andbug attack sound. This is an album, not justa randomly compiled set.

I TravelAs The Crow Flies.... - NT/PhonogramChrystal-clear pop by this talented Dutchband. The single Dancing Alone leads apack of seven songs of which Cinderella isthe most striking; the catchy melody gainsmore impact thanks to the tambourin/drumsound and the addition of an accordeon.

Ziggy Marley & TheMelody MakersJahmekya - Virgin AmericaInnovative reggae with the single Kozmic asthe most perfect funky crossover track. Amodern sound without using too many Hi -tech studio tricks. The irresistable tuneDrastic will make all EHR and dance pro-grammers "bop till they drop".

Matia BazarAnime Pigre - DDDEHR programmers should welcome theDDD label debut of this Italian band whohad a big European hit with Ti Sento in1986. Listening to their new album, there'sreally no reason why they shouldn't crossover again. The voice of singer LauraValente has improved ever since and thebest bet for EHR airplay is the cheerfultrack Lungo 11 Po. The clear production byMaurizio Bassi is a welcome bonus.

Vera KaaRien Ne Va Plus - SPR (Switzerland)Return to Suffragette City, this is the bat-tle hymn for the Swiss national womenstrike on June 14. The lyrics that go alongwith the nice tune are very precise:"Wenn die Frau will, dann steht allesstill", which means "if women will, every-thing stands still". Contact Elfie Schopf atSGB on tel. (41) 31-455 666; fax: 31-450837.

W.I.P.Ghost Jam - Second Hand (Norway)The hottest dance act in Norway. Thisdebut single was heavily playlisted at al-most every radio station and is alreadytop -10 in their homeland. It contains arap, lots of synthesizers and even a littebit of Gregorian music. Contact AstridVestli at Sonet Records on tel. (47) 2-352830; fax: 2- 355 539.

The Duke Robillard BandTurn It Around - RounderLast year master guitarist Robillard replaced"Good Texan" Jimmie Vaughan in TheFabulous Thunderbirds. He still found sometime to record a new album with his ownband. Now Susann Forrest has joined theband and they're no longer called ThePleasure Kings. The excitement is multipliedon the tracks, she features on. Give a listen toDown By The Delta and the title track, andfind out that La Forrest is able to competewith Lou -Ann Barton and Angela Strehli inthe Austin R&B ladies department.

SealSeal - LT1/WEAYoung, black and gifted. The single Crazywas no. 1 for five consecutive weeks in theEurochart this year, his current single FutureLove Paradise is already top 10. Both arefeatured on Seal's eponymous debut albumproduced by Trevor Horn together with sevenmore equally strong songs. The atmosphericsong Violet shows Seal can be an excellentballadeer as well. Also included a new versionof Adamski's 1990 UK no. 1 hit Killer, proba-bly the best description for the album.

VinX

Rooms In My Fatha's House - IRSThe classic story, but this time it's true. Vinxwas personally discovered by Sting, who sawhim playing in a Nib while hiding from asudden shower. Sting is credited as co -produ-cer on the album from the singing percussio-nist, who also featured as support act on hiscurrent world tour. The sparse arrangementson the album treat the songs just right. All thetracks sound like Harry Belafonte in searchof his African roots. My TV with all thoseAfrican talking drums will sound well on anyradio format. Just amazing.

The Wonder StuffNever Loved Elvis - PolydorThird album by the band who have emergedfrom the "indie pop" sector and developedinto something big. They still express thesame irrepressible enthusiasm as in their earlydays. The funny single The Size Of A Cowwas top 10 in the UK and Ireland. That's notthe only perfect pop melody, there are 12more. Album rock programmers should payattention and add some tracks to their play -lists. Here Comes Everybody, a fast folk -tin-ged song could be a good suggestion, as wellas the violin dominated track 38 Line Poem.

Stevie WonderOf all the Motown acts throughout the years, Stevie Wonder has been

the most loyal. His new album 'Jungle Fever, to be released May 28, isthe soundtrack to the new Spike Lee movie and marks his 24th studio

album for the label in a career spanning 30 years.

Motown is rapidly updating its image.Having lost its trendsetting role in the mid80s, recent new signings have given the labela more contemporary profile. With soul sin-gers like Johnny Gill, Colin England andhip hop acts like Boyz II Men and AnotherBad Creation, Motown is ready for the 90s.Stevie Wonder has not only proven to beMotown's flagship artist over three decades,but also managed to keep up with the trends.

Although a "normal" studio project wasscheduled, Wonder suddenly delivered a

soundtrack album. This has happened before.In 1984, In Square Circles was postponed fora year in favour of Selections From TheOriginal Motion Picture Soundtrack TheWoman In Red, that stayed at no. 1 in theEuropean Top 100 Albums chart for sixweeks. The single I Just Called To Say ILove You, taken from that album, was proba-bly his biggest ever worldwide hit. In theEurochart, it occupied the top slot for 13 con-secutive weeks, a record only beaten byKaomo's Lambada in 1989 (14 weeks).Wonder's last recording was 1987'sCharacters.

It was prolific black US filmmaker SpikeLee, renowned for the controversial 1989movie Do The Right Thing, who suggested toWonder the idea of a soundtrack. Wonderquickly agreed, as the two share a commoninterest in social issues. In 1986, Wonder ma-naged to convince the US government toproclaim Martin Luther King's birthday(January 15) a public holiday (a wish he hadalready expressed on the 1981 hit singleHappy Birthday).

The Jungle Fever movie deals with twofamilies-one African -American, the otherItalian-American-who are struggling with

the reality of an interracial love affair. Star-ring Wesley Snipes as the successful archi-tect Flipper Purify and Annabella Sciorraas Angie Tucci, his working-class lover, thefilm also features Anthony Quinn andSpike Lee.

The soundtrack album was produced byWonder in his own Wonderland Studios. Itcontains four ballads that should work wellin nighttime shows, especially the tracksLighting Up The Candles and Make SureYou're Sure. On top of that, Wonder supplieshis usual recipe of strong dance floor andEHR-friendly material: Gotta Have You (thefirst single) and the title track with its heavypercussion arrangements. The former trackpresents Motown's new hope for the futureBoyz II Men-who have just released theirown debut album Cooley High Har-mony-on backing vocals.

The movie premiered at the Cannes FilmFestival on May 16, where it was nominatedfor a Golden Calf award. At press time, thewinners had not been announced. "JungleFever" will be opening at European box offi-ces in mid -June.

The release was sudden and unexpectedfor most Motown/RCA label managers inEurope. Motown European release co-ordi-nator Otta Baeten says. "Things had to beorganised in a rush. The emphasis is on themovie and bringing Wonder over to Cannes.We also organised some European key pressdays in London from May 21-25."

Marketing campaigns are currently inpreparation and the album was launched atan international press party in London onMay 23. Wonder is managed by MelvinClark Jr. of Steveland Morris Music inL.A. RT

WAKE-UP CALL

Making The Most Of MorningsIf you're dead set on being a no. 1 radio station, the key

to your success is through mornings. Morning shows areworth your extra time and effort, and success can be

yours if you concentrate on the basics.

by Scott Lockwood

You probably know it instincti-vely, but there's more than onecompelling reason to concentrateyour efforts on the morning time:

1. This is radio's prime time. Yourlargest audience is there-higherand better than any other daypart.2. People who start listening toyou in the morning are likely tocontinue with you throughout theday, raising all your numbersacross the board.3. Diarykeepers often forget dif-ferent stations heard throughoutthe day, but their wake-up stationremains top of mind.

Understanding YourMorning Audience

A lot of the mystery surroundingcontent for a morning programmecan be solved by simply taking anhonest look at human nature.Take a few moments to thinkthrough what people do early inthe day, and how long they taketo do it.

Most people wake up a littlelater than they would really likeand seek to prepare themselvesfor the day adequately, butquickly. From "wake up" to "outthe door" the general scenario isas follows:

1. Get out of bed2. Get under the shower3. Eat a bite4. Brush teeth, shave, etc.5. Choose appropriate clothing6. Check the mirror a

7. Go

Of course, this written scenariodoesn't always work perfectly, orexactly in this order. For instance,some people never eat breakfastin the morning, or they eat in arestaurant, etc. Some eat first andshower later. Women (and mot-hers in particular) have evenmore responsibilities, and thus alonger "to do" list. It is fair to say,however, that most people do atleast these things, if not more,and radio is a perfect companionbecause of deadline pressure. Youshould make your own customlist based on your station's parti-cular target group.

In general, men and youngpeople will give you about 30 mi-nutes at the house. Single womenabout 45 minutes, houseWives re-sponsible for the family evenlonger. Your average time to grab

them at home is probably some-where between 20 to 40 minutes.

Doing The BasicsGiven the hectic nature of thingsfor people in the morning, yourbest shot is to serve them as a se-condary activity and occasionallybring them to the point of makingradio their primary activity. In thefirst instance, you have all theirmorning time. With the latter,you'll get two to three minutes perday.

that you're doing the time, thenstart listening. In morning drivethere's no such thing as over-doing it.

The weather, done cleverly,will always be your top feature inevery hour. Actually, you shouldlook to present it several times inslightly different styles. Don't justgive people the weather, tell themwhat to do as a result of it.

Traffic in most metro areas isa valuable service to offer, but becareful. Traffic for many is eitheruninteresting' or not useful.Commuters tend to know the traf-fic pattern on their route. Non -commuters would rather hearmusic. To succeed with trafficyou need to stay with the unex-pected. Similar to the weather,

By consistently working on it day to day,the listening public come to know thestation for being "the one with the timewhen you need it".

In other words, most of thetime you should do the basics (asbrilliantly as possible), then lookto occasionally capture their at-tention as a primary listener withservice and/or frosting type ofhighlights (humour, etc.).

The basics (for a music sta-tion), in their order of importanceare: music, news, time, weatherand traffic (in metro areas).

You can talk a little bit morein the morning, even on a musicstation. People expect it and needit, but music is still priority onefor the listener. Long talk setsusually won't work because peop-le don't have the time to devote toit. Play a couple of extra songsevery hour and you'll certainlywin listeners.

Stick with the hits, too. Saveyour newer entries for later in theday when people have more timeto experiment.

News is an essential ingre-dient, but should be as tight andcompact as possible. Stick to topstories, whether they are interna-tional or local. Most people wantthe news in the morning to feelinformed, but not overwhelmed.One shorter newscast every halfhour works better than a singlelong one each hour.

The time, as basic as it is, canhelp dramatically improve num-bers. Even though people haveclocks at home they don't oftenhave time to look at them.Therefore, they depend on you togive it often and accurately.

In the morning it's a good ideato say it twice every time. This isbecause people don't always catchit the first time. They merely hear

you should never just report traf-fic, but offer alternative routes toavoid jams.

Most listeners are passive andwill be pleased with these itemsas entertainment and information.However, you still have the op-portunity of offering still morevalue through highlights.

Moving To TheNext Level

Beyond the basics you have nume-rous other opportunities to shapeand form the image of your mor-nings. They include humour, con-tests, news features, interviews.

Humour has always been a bigfavourite in the morning, perhapsbecause most people have a hardtime feeling good just out of bed.

Humour is an emotion thatsells effectively because of itswide appeal, but beware. Reallygood humour is difficult and onlya relative few have a sense for it. Ifyour morning presenters aren'tsure of themselves, stay awayfrom it. If they're good with it, ba-lance the hour with just enoughand focus on quality. Three to fourgood bits an hour is plenty. Onemajor gag in the morning is all ittakes.

Contests can be fun for list-eners. Oddly enough, you do notneed to offer tremendous prizes(although the trend seems to begoing the other way). A short quizwith a good twist and a decentprize is enough to capture the ima-gination. The type of contest youdo depends on your goal. A hugecontest in the morning with a bigcash prize is fine, but perhaps you

would rather recycle listeners toanother time point with money.

News features can be anothergreat way to draw listeners intoprimary listenership, providing itstruly topical and interesting. Thetop news story of the day is all youshould really deal with here. Agood news feature should have aninteresting angle to it to qualify asa feature, otherwise it should stayin a regular newscast. Pay atten-tion to brevity here, and don'toverdo it. One really great featureper day (the hottest story) is worthfour small features that no onecares about.

Interviews, closely related tofeatures, provide the chance tobuild image. These could be inter-views with prominent newsma-kers, celebrities, or musicians.Again, keeping it tight and to thepoint provides the best result. Likefeatures, interviews should be topi-cal. Don't interview yesterdaysheroes.

As highlights for your morningshow, each of these elements areimportant ingredients. Know, how-ever, that these are still secondlevel to basics. Man can live onbasics alone, but the frostingmakes it far more interesting.

Making The BasicsBrilliant

You're probably doing the basicsalready. Just about everyone doesinstinctively. What sets the win-ners apart from the losers is howgood the basics are done and howwell they can be remembered.

The world's great radio stationsunderstand these basics well andhave presenters who build a spe-cial and interesting packagearound them. Therein lies their keyto success. Truly great person-alities can fail unless they concen-trate their efforts in the right direc-tion.

The time is a terrific exampleof a basic that can always be im-proved upon. Most presenters seethe time as being a dull basic.something that's rather uninterest-ing. Right they are, the time isdull, especially after years andyears of doing it. Presenters some-times forget, unfortunately, howuseful it is. Its importance is over-shadowed by the latest news story.

a funny joke, etc. Suddenly thetime is just something that has tobe done quickly and "thrownaway".

The successful station and pre-senter never forget this as a basicand constantly look for new waysof presenting it in a unique andmemorable fashion. By consis-tently working on it day to day, thelistening public come to know thestation for being "the one with thetime when you need it".

Sit down for an hour and do atime exercise. Write down 20 dif-ferent ways to present the time.You'll be surprised at how manynew possibilities you'll come upwith.

What's true for time is also truefor weather and other basics.Weather can be greatly improvedby telling people how to dress,what clothes to put on the kids,whether or not to take an umbrella.Sound effects can help build a vi-sual and more memorable mentalpicture for the listener. A good we-ather jingle will raise awareness,too.

In conclusion, the ability tocreate or improve a morning pack-age lies with the simple basics.Taking these basics and packagingthem well will attract and keep lis-teners. Getting listeners startedwith your station early in the mor-ning will ensure a success day foryou and your staff.

MUSIC VIDEO

Opening Up The Video WindowsThis year video companies are releasing many pro-ducts on laserdisc as well as VHS. Music video, therecord industry's "fourth format", presently accounts

for only 3% of total revenue. This could all change drasti-cally with the introduction of the shining gold laserdiscswhich deliver perfect sound and pictures.

Music video concerts, biographies, interviews and clipcompilations offer a variety unparalleled in the audio sector.And even when video product is released in parallel with itsaudio counterpart, audio sales are not adversely affected.

Video usually offers buyers something exclusive to theformat-dressing-room chat, stars linking the clips or extralive tracks.

Next stop: convincing both retailer and customer.BMG, EMI, PolyGram, Virgin and Warner all have in-

ternational video companies based in London, and are ope-ning offices in other countries to speed up marketing andpromotions since consumers and retailers in each territoryhave different needs and customs.

Comments BMG Video International VP AdrianWorkman, "Video companies are not set up any longer asancillary divisions to record companies. Were independentprofit centres in our own right. Video has its own life andconsumer -dedicated fan base."

The UK is still the most -developed market with the hig-hest sales. But France, Germany and Italy are fast-growingmarkets and other European countries are developing ste-adily, although they have a lot of catching up to do.

Says Warner Music Vision VP Ray Still, "The UK isvery highly developed. You see music racked side -by -sidewith audio and film titles, something continental Europe hasyet to see."

What Sells, What Doesn'tAll styles of music have proven viable on video in varyingdegrees, although success on the fourth format doesn't al-ways reflect a genre's audio popularity.

Dance is a case in point. Virgin's Soul H Soul video,filmed live at Brixton Academy and marketed as a stand-alone release, only managed to sell 25.000 units, whereasSoul II Soul's Club Classic album was a smash hit in manycountries, including the US. This performance contrasts withthe Simple Minds' In Verona, again a stand-alone release,which sold 100.000 units.

Traditionally, heavy metal/hard rock is a guaranteed ste-ady seller. Scandinavia has always had a soft spot for heavymetal, and the genre sells better in Germany and Italy thanFrance and Spain.

Executives say it's not hard to market a new Iron Maiden

"We don't do any dance tapes,full stop. My personal opinion isdance doesn't sell in the videoformat... video sales have notmatched audio sales." -John Paisley

Europe is already embracing VHS. Marketsare expanding rapidly, with the exclusion ofthe UK, which has reached saturation point.

The industry hopes that laserdisc, with itsdigital format, will have the same effect on

VHS as CD has had on vinyl.

MUSIC VIDEOSor Guns 'n' Roses video because retailers are aware that aloyal fan base will be ready and waiting.

Explains PMI UK marketing manager Guy Warren, "Astrong fan base always buys all product. If Iron Maidenhave got an album out fans will buy the video. But if there'sa gap between albums a video will give the band 'mediafocus' and fans will buy. If you do go for the gap, you get acomplete focus on the video. But traditional thinking is tosell the video along with the album; retailers are more keento take it."

There are certain artists who always sell well. PolyGram'sinternational marketing manager Nadia Ostacchini citesThe Cure as a good example of a band whose fan base ens-ures high sales. "Bands like The Cure can get away with it[releasing a compilation video] as they have a loyal fan base.I don't think they'll secure any more fans by releasing thisprogramme. Their fans will buy it because they want it andhave to have it. However, you only find this with certain ar-tists."

Cliff Richard also benefits from a dedicated fan base.This factor, plus some creative marketing for the limited edi-tion double video released last Christmas saw it reach tripleplatinum sales of 150.000 in the UK. Originally, PMI consi-dered marketing Cliff in the UK at £19.99 (app. US$35.00).However, research showed sales doubled by dropping theprice to £16.99. The video set was designed as a gift with anaccompanying booklet in an easy -to -wrap box.

"Bands like The Cure canget away with it [releasing acompilation video] as theyhave a loyal fan base."

- Nadia Ostacchini

For some, video is central to their image. Artists have be-come far more conscious of the importance of the video inmarketing their image and are more creatively involved.Says Ray Still, "For some acts the video is instrumental totheir success. The videos give them a particular look. Sistersof Mercy, ZZ Top and Madonna have created videoswhich have been vital to their success."

Specialist music needs a different approach. WarnerMusic Video and MCEG Virgin Vision are marketing se-ries of jazz videos without going for a large media spend.

MCEG Virgin Vision UK marketing manager John Pais-ley says, "There's a much more direct market for specialistmusic. So for jazz we'd target jazz fan magazines and jazzshops."

BMG currently has only one jazz title, but Workman saysthis will change. "Jazz is one area that doesn't seem to sell,probably because our video label hasn't made the productavailable, so we haven't yet stimulated jazz buyers to thevideo habit. Get catalogue out there and there is no logicalreason why they won't turn to it. But it will be a small mar-ket because jazz albums sell in small quantities.

CompilationsMusic video compilations, unlike their audio counterparts,

are proving increasingly harder to market unless there issome unique selling point, such as by decade-music fromthe '70s or '80s-or by genre. As a genre, glam rock has astrong fan base so retailers are keen to stock it. Paisley saysVirgin's Glam Rock videos consistently sell well.Multi -artist compilations, however, are unpopular with re-tailers as consumers tend to prefer a single artist compila-tions or long -form. Now 19 is the first Now compilationalbum without an accompanying video.

PMI and Virgin take turns in producing the video, eventhough the album sold in large quantities. Paisley says thereason was because "sales dropped by 75% between Now 13and 18." PMI wouldn't sanction a video either. Warren says,"Sales of multi -artist compilations have completely droppedout of the window. There's a lack of retail support and a lackof consumer support, but we can't say which comes first.With multi -artist tapes where's the loyalty factor? Where arethe heart-throbs to sell them in quantity?"

Most dance videos are multi -artist compilations, and con-sequently the videos are sluggish sellers despite the popula-rity of dance records. Paisley notes that compilation albumAwesome "did brilliantly on vinyl, but didn't sell on video."He adds, "We don't do any dance tapes, full stop. My per-sonal opinion is dance doesn't sell in the video format.Dance may have dominated the scene in many countries for

the last two years, but video sales have not matched audiosales."

Says Warren, "Sales started to decline as dance took overfrom pop, so retailers got less keen. It became less availableand now no major retailers will stock it. Plus there is morecompeting product available. Space is very competitive inretail outlets and with the sorts of sales dance gets on videoit's not worth the effort."

BMG is so far the only company to put out a dance com-pilation magazine. Despite slow sales so far, Adrian Work-man remains committed to the concept, "I feel with theDance International Video Magazine we have created so-mething up-to-date and state of the art. But it's difficult toget across to the consumer that it's a worthwhile product.Most dance buyers are spending their money on 12" singlesor nightclubs.

"I feel dance product needs more commitment from retail-ers to break open the market. Lots of dance product tends tobe racked obscurely at the bottom of shelves. It should betreated with the respect it deserves."

Workman says he is convinced that successful long-termartists will come out of the dance scene and that the dancevideo market will explode. He says, "Dance video in NorthAmerica is really happening. Retailers have seen dance sellwell and rapidly. In some places in middle America dancevideos are doing better than rock. Once some of these actscross over then attitudes are going to change. Record compa-nies put so much unexposed time and energy into dancetracks and videos. One reason we continue is because even-tually dance is going to happen and we want to be a part ofit."

Video MagazinesThe bi-monthly video magazine is a fairly new concept andsales have so far been minimal. With their mix of big -nameartists, concert footage and interviews, they are extremelyexpensive to produce.

Hard 'N' Heavy, the heavy metal market leader, is no ex-ception, with costs running between f60.000-£100.000 perissue. Hard 'N' Heavy is produced by Directors Interna-

"Video companies are not set upany longer as ancilliary divisionsto record companies. We're inde-pendent profit centres in our ownright. Video has its, own life andconsumer -dedicated fan base."

- Adrian Workman

tional and has had a gamut of distributors: PMI took the firstsix, Virgin the next and Warner has just picked it up. Salesestimates vary but Virgin say that per issue it was achieving8.000 in the UK and 2.000 around the rest of Europe, withItaly leading the way.

PMI dropped it because it didn't generate enough sales tomake it worthwhile to distribute while Virgin, althoughfirmly behind the concept, found it required a lot of marke-ting in Europe and the company was hindered by video ma-gazines not having their own retail space in stores. Paisleysays, "We found it a bit of an uphill struggle to convinceboth retailer and public why they should buy video magazi-nes month after month. I think Warner will do well on issue13 because it features Guns 'n' Roses. Then sales will tail offover following issues."

Ray Still disagrees. He foresees Hard Heavy sales im-proving consistently and adds, "Hard N' Heavy performedparticularly well with PMI in the first six issues but lost a bitwith Virgin. We have some substantial items in the next twoor three issues including Guns Roses live from Rio (con-current with their new Geffen album) and an extended Do-nington feature. We have further ideas for the next six issueswhich will raise the profile of the magazine."

Selling advertisements or sponsorship is generally agreedto be the only way video magazines will ever break even ormake a profit. BMG has negotiated with magazine RockPower to advertise in the US edition of its heavy metal videomag Metal Head.

All agree that consumer awareness of video is growingand that taste has matured. In the past BMG considered thathard rock music would be a big seller in the GAS countriesand Scandinavia. But now the individual BMG video opera-tions in each country have expanded their product range andeverything sells, with Depeche Mode and The Eurythmicscurrently outselling everything else.

Companies are also concentrating more on domestic pro-duct, as it sells well when marketed by staff based in thehome territory. Warner's Italian team has been pursuing alocal campaign with great success. BMG, which is very sup-portive of its local staff, reports Roch Voisine is a best sellerin France, a country where French -language product is al-ways popular. Workman says, "Previously, we'd be reactiveto the success of an artist-we're much more proactive now.You've got to fight for your position-and it's a positionworth fighting for." by Sarah Davis

AMERICAN MODEL - THE FINAL CHAPTER

Narrowcasting Finds Its Nichesby E Karl

Auditorium music testing startedworking its way into radio stationresearch plans in the early to mid -'80s, and by the middle of the de-cade, programmers were able toseparate narrowcast formats intoother compartments. Rock pro-grammers noticed that there was awhole field of "rock and roll ol-dies" that could stand alone as aformat-with no new music atall-and that brought Classic Rockonto the airwaves. There was afield of AC music that was all softand easy-going: that posturing gavebirth to Soft AC; and on and on.

Today, in America, niche for-mats abound, all with specific tar-gets. each offering special format

elements designed by those targetlisteners through research, andeach positioned tightly in the realmof radio.

Listeners can choose betweenAOR, Classic Rock, Rock 40, NewRock, Rock AC, Lite Rock, HotAC, ("Mix" usually), MainstreamAC, Oldies -Based AC, Soft AC,Standard Easy Listening, AdultSpectrum Radio, (Easy, Soft AC,and New Age combined), NewAge alone, Modem Country,Traditional Country, CountryRock, Soft Country, Oldies (nowsplit into either '50s or '60s based),Top 40 (CHR), Urban, Churban,Jazz, Classical, and so on. Thereare at least 25 distinct formats inAmerica today, and possibly as

many as 40. With more to come.

Now programmers talk abouttheir targets like this: "We're goingafter FM exclusive listeners in theSoft AC sub-Lifegroup who are allworking women, as long as theyare between the ages of 30 and40."

That kind of targeting is com-monplace, and it works as long asstations "stay true to their skew."Indeed, 12+ is a family reunion inAmerica today. As programmers inthe USA watch what is happeningin European radio, it is easy to seewhy they believe that an "explo-sion" is about to occur. Will the ex-plosion that creates niche radio inEurope be one from a "smart"bomb or a "dumb" bomb? Someprogrammers and marketers in theUSA feel that the "American

Model" will work overseas, andAmerican -based consulting and re-search firms are setting up shop toimport that "model". It will be inte-resting to watch, especially sincethe "Here's what you do, just plugin these clocks, it worked in LosAngeles" attitude may be just toomuch for European radio program-mers to resist.

Radio in Europe will grow. Itwill fractionise into narrowcast for-mats, which will break up intoother tightly -targeted niches. But.if European programmers are notcareful, and if they don't take theAmerican Model with a pinch ofsalt, their programming explosionwill become an implosion, and theUgly American will just walkaway unscathed.

NEWS BRIEFSFROM THE USA

by Tom Kay

Bedroom 'Pirate' FMStation SeizedA Boston FM station was startedfor fun by teenager ScottGallagher in 1982, was run outof his bedroom, and was recentlydiscovered by the FCC after in-creasing from a few to 80 watts.Gallagher was fined $750.000 forlack of license, and could be hitfor $10.000 and a year's jail timeif the station is turned back on.

New Cornpetion forArbitron and BirchCalifornia -based SuperRatingsResearch, headed by PresidentMark Olson, is predicting to mo-nitor 50 markets by fall, and is of-fering subscribers six books ayear based on 4 -week surveys.The largest number of books re-leased by Arbitron or Birch inany particular market over thecourse of a year has been four.SuperRatings will draw qualita-tive date from solicited samplesof at least 1.500 people, offeringan alternative to the random -sampled nature of existing re-search services. Station invest-ment is $7.500 per year.

Imagination StationsAgain A RealityIt was reported several weeks agothat the Imagination SatelliteNetwork had suspended broad-casting operations. Financial bur-dens were to blame, including inlarge part the cost of running livetelephone with 'children.However, WXJO-FM/St. Louis,MO never ceased the kids' pro-gramming, and the satellite isback up and running with KKDS-AM/Salt Lake City, UT and apossible Springfield, MO stationon board. Former satellite partici-pants have claimed that responsefrom children and advertisersalike was more than positive.Round two begins.

Stiff Fine for NuclearNo -No At KSHEThe FCC has imposed a $25.000fine against Emmis Broadcast-ing -owned KSHE/St. Louis, MOfor the airing of a mock nuclearattack during the AORstation'smorning show on January 29th, aday in the life of the actualPersian Gulf war. Morning co-host John Uleff aired alertingtones similar to those used by theEmergency Broadcast System inan effort to create what he termedan awareness of the "potentiallydevastating ramifications" ofnuclear assault in the Gulf. Theaudience was not notified of thealert's false nature until two hourslater. The FCC has cited the sta-tion on the basis of a ruling prohi-biting the broadcasting of decep-tiveemergency warnings.

The EHR Top 25 chart is based on a weighted -scoring system. Songs score points by achieving airplay of M&M's EHR reportingstations. Unlike M&M's European Airplay Top 50, which includes reports from stations serving a general audience, these stations target 12-34 year -old listeners with contemporary music fulltime or during specific dayparts. Songs in "A" rotation airplay receive more points thanthose in "8" rotation or more limited oirplay exposure. Stations ore weighted by market size and by the number of hours per week commit-ted to the format..

The EHR Tracking Report represents the simple, unweighted, total number of EHR reporting stations playing a song overall,how many stations have that song in either on "A" or "B" rotation, and how many new odds it has received. If the number of songs in "A" and "B"

combined do not match the total station count, it is because some stations either have reported it as part of album airplay or have not indicated it in

"A" or "8" rotation yet. In the case of a tie, songs are listed alphabeticallly by "A" rototion.

Airplay ActionA static top 5 this week. Mi-chael Bolton has not yettaken over Rod Stewart's(record) domination of the EHRtop slot but continues to be aprime candidate. The Forna-ciari/Young duet has movedup from 9 to 7 this week, itshighest position so far. EHRstations in the UK are leadingthe pack with 87% of our re-porter field playlisting thetrack. Also German, Beneluxand Scandinavian airplay hasslightly increased.

Amy Grant has movedinto top 10 (9->12) and is in

"A" rotation on 23 playlists(an increase of 35% comparedto last week). It has also added3 new stations to its total.

by Machgiel Bakker

Roxette have built a ste-ady base with EHR radio.While the duo's Joyride singlerefuses to leave the top 5 (andis still third best "A" rotationleader), the new single FadingLike A Flower is this week'shighest entry in the EHR Top25 (19). The single is playedon 36 stations while Joyride ison 46. This means that almostall EHR stations are playing eit-her one or two tracks from theSwedish act-not a bad achie-vement.

One of this year's 'sleepers'is Australian band Divinyls'sI Touch Myself; released in Ja-nuary of this year, it took theduo four months to break into

EHR's playlists and the single isdoing well in Italy and the UK.Ready to break into nextweek's EHR Top 25 areSimple Minds's See The

Lights, Huey Lewis & TheNews' Couple Days Off, thelong-awaited T'Pau singleWhenever You Need Me andR.E.M. (who would havethought last year they would fitthe EHR format?) with ShinyHappy People.

French -language records donot often cross borders espe-cially not into EHR formats. Arecent exception is Polydorsinger Mylene Farmer whoseDesenchantee. is now gettinggood airplay on both Germanand Danish EHR stations.

OFF THE RECORD

Irish Radio ChangesBig changes going on at themajor private stations in Ireland.Capital Radio/Dublin reportedlyhas relaunched as Rock 104.4and hopes to attract an older com-panies that audience.

Also, Century Radio/Dublinhas reportedly drafted "Inde-pendent DJ of the Year" ScottWilliams from Capital. Williamswill host a lunch-time show andbe named assistant programmecontroller. He will be joined byGreg Gaughren, who currentlyhosts a mid -afternoon programmeon 98FM/Dublin. These changesfollow recent high-level appoint-ments (M&M May 11).

Havas Ups Stake InCapital Radio

French media conglomerateHavas has concluded its pur-chase of 51% of DominfastInvestment, which owns about20% of London's Capital Radio(M&M March 2). Havas alsohas the option to purchase the re-maining 49% over the next fiveyears. The purchase now givesHavas about 10% of Capital.

Havas reportedly says it willnot increase its stake, which putsany purchase of the station onhold because London StockExchange rules would prevent itfrom buying Capital after such astatement is made public.

clearly not enough. "The bigshows only take super MORstars. The lack of pop TV is ma-king MTV much more important,in spite of the language barriers.

"The days when we had a showthat automatically sold recordsare over. We need a Top of thePops that can create hits. Rightnow, radio is our most importantsales promotion tool."

Warner Music head of TVpromotion Susanne Kleinke saysthat a combination of TV withradio and press can maximisesales. "We know that the ratio ofestablished artists to new artistsis, at best, 80-20%. But connec-tions with producers and a goodpresentation can get the rightshows."

Holm Dressler, one ofGermany's leading independentTV producers, says that GermanTV executives are convinced thatpop music has little to offer interms of large groups of viewers."So they drop the shows. Thedays are coming to an end whereyou can program for the 8-80 agegroups. As more and more TVstations are available, narrowcas-ting will become very important.The print media has already dis-covered this."

Mike Leckebusch producer oftwo regional TV programmes,says, "Young people have turnedtheir backs on TV for music be-cause there are hardly any showsfor this huge target group; andwhat there is, is no good.

"The stations look for the intel-lectual approach. Youth program-mes featuring alternative musicgroups and folk singers are igno-ring mainstream pop and danceacts completely. This is not whatthe kids want, so the stations saythat no one wants pop music onTV. Wrong."

Over in the UK, most music in-dustry executives agree that onlytwo shows really matter-BBC1's "Top Of The Pops" andITV's "The Chart Show".Chrysalis promotions directorJudd Lander describes the situ-

ation as "restrictive". "Producerson other shows, like the Saturdaymorning kids shows, are playingit very safe at the moment. Theyonly want big names so it's veryhard to get a new act on.

"Someone should come upwith a late -night video showwhich would be both watchableand cheap. If MTV can do it, thenso can the national channels."

AVL head of promotionMatthew Austin is questioningthe quality of pop TV shows. "TVcompanies say that music pro-grammes don't pull big viewingfigures. But the fact is that it'scheap TV. Even though there areshows like 'Metro, ParamountCity' and 'Rock At The Dome',there's no adult rock video show."

A similar problem exists in

Italy, where most guest appearan-ces on TV variety shows are re-served for major acts. The keyshows that do exist are: the week-day Rock Cafe on Rai 2, Italial's weekly chart programme TopVenti and Canale 5's Sundaychart slot Superclassifica Show.The 24 -hour music channelVideomusic includes the week-day shows Hot Line andBluenight.

Polydor head of promotionsStefano Zappattera says thereare not enough outlets for musicvideos. "Broadcasters use thesame old argument that musicdoesn't attract audiences so whybother? But Italy is a strangecountry. Sting got much expos-ure. But an artist like him can gethis video screened on the TVnews and on a programme likeTele Mike which has nothing todo with music."

CGD head of promotionsLuciano Linzi also says he feelsthere is a lack of music shows."Those that exist tend to concen-trate on major acts. There was agreat increase in the production ofvideos for local acts last year soonly those with quality stand achance of being screened."Andrea Olcese, creator and di-rector of the news -based showRock Cafe, has a policy of pre-viewing new videos-mostly byestablished acts-exclusively on

Asia Gets Its MTV

Viacom's MTV Networks andHutchVision Ltd have launchedan Asian version of MTV. Thechannel will be carried onHutchVision's STAR TV serviceand will be received via direct -to -home, cable, SMATV and terres-trial distribution. Potential au-dience on STAR TV: two billionpeople in 31 countries, rangingfrom Saudi Arabia to Taiwan andSouth Korea to Singapore.

Dutch Music On CableDutch legendary pirate from the'70s, Radio Noordzee, has retur-ned to the airwaves. Now calledRadio Noordzee Nationaal , the24 -hour cable station is exclu-

sively programming Dutch pro-duct. Run by Guus Jansen, MDof publishing company Streng-holt, the channel is an initiativeof national copyright organisationBUMA/STEMRA, foundationConamus and authors' bodyPALM. Also, it seems that theDutch record industry is involvedto some point. Details next week.

his show. Three videos are pre-miered each week but only amaximum of two minutes of eachare shown. New talent may be fe-atured if the video is unusual andof excellent quality. Seal is a re-cent example.

For some years France hasbeen in a situation where prime -time TV variety shows were nu-merous and have become essen-tial outlets to break artists com-mercially. Private channel TF 1runs no less than four weeklyprime -time variety shows eachweek: "Stars 90", "SacreeSoirée," "Tous a la Une" and"Succes Fous". These program-mes are usually among the topthree highest -rated programmesof the week and catch an au-dience of 30%. The programmesfeature between 6-10 acts ofwhich 80% is national product.

But public channel Antenne 2,on the other hand, has decided tocompletely suppress varietyshows, measure that worriessome producers.

Virgin France marketing ma-nager Alain Artaud says thecommercial impact of theseshows has been reduced duringthe past years due to the numberof shows. Says Artaud, "As thenumber of shows have increasedand as they feature more or lessthe same acts, their presence hasbecome banal. These shows havelost their sales impact." Artaudrecalls times in the mid -80s whena good performance on a TVshow could have instant sales ef-fects, as happened with RitaMitsouko or Boy George.

Phonogram joint GM/promo-tion director Philippe Vidalencsays if these shows have indeednow a limited commercial im-pact, they still can give a boost tosales. He cites the recent case ofAmina, who arrived second at theEurovision show. After theEurovision contest, Amina's saleswere good but not exceptional.However, two weeks after sheperformed on "Sacree Soirée", thesales force of PolyGram wasflooded with orders from retailersthe next morning. "It all dependson the product and the timing."

In London, Sony Music Inter-national president Bob Summerconfirmed that a "revised organiza-tion structure" for Sony MusicEurope is in the works, saying itwill be announced "prior to

With the majoraffiliates accountable directly toSummer, it is not yet known howother reporting lines will be drawn.The UK company, under chairmanPaul Russell, is already respons-ible to Summer.

Asked about the new structure,Larsen says, "Something alongthose lines will happen," but decli-nes to elaborate. "This is a plantriggered by my departure, ratherthan the other way around."

Sony Music's 1991 revenues inEurope will be around theUS$800 million mark, accordingto Larsen, with profits in excessof US$130 million.

Kleinman says he has "ousted"Carter as GM. Kleinman says,"Under German law, although Iam majority shareholder, GMCarter was able to forcibly bar mefrom company premises. I invitedhim to meet me, but as he failed toshow I was forced to hold this'meeting' with just myself, sincewe are the only two shareholders.I have now appointed myself GM,but Carter fails to recognise this."
