INSIDE TOP 40 WITH DAVE SHOLIN Whenever an artist gets to number one it's an

event, but when it happens for the first time it's especially memorable. BRUCE HORNSBY experienced that and now in the waning days of 1986 it's WANG CHUNG'S turn at the top.

Excellent chart growth and 36 adds set JETS on course for their second run up the Top 40. Keith Naftaly at KMEL moves it up eight 30-22, Dave Anthony and Don Michaels KDWB/FM take it 26-19, Melodi Garrett 98Q charts 30-25, and new airplay on WXKS/FM, 099, WHSB, WHYT, KZZO, KKBG, KZZU, KYYA, KKYS, WIZM, etc. No denying SAMANTHA FOX who leaps right over Chartbound with a 24% hit factor..Top 5 at 930 Houston, KMEL San

Francisco, WKQB Charleston, WCIL Carbondale etc.

New airplay on ARETHA FRANKLIN put her in position for a future Chartbound slot. Added at KVIC, KIMN, KOLA, KRQ, KDWZ, WLRW, WBBQ, WANS, WROQ, WSPK, WTIC. Expect HUMAN LEAGUE to be joining ARETHA as they also go over the 100 report mark with adds at Z94, WYDD, PRO/FM, KWOD, KINN, KSYZ, Y94, KZEV, KBIU, etc.

DEAD OR ALIVE, last week's Record To Watch, continues to rack up some impressive moves...Debuts #14 for John Lander at 93Q, moves 18-8 at KATD, 15-11 KITS, 17-14 WIFC, 7-4 WKNE etc. Now it's time to watch out for

those BEASTIE BOYS. Although they're just a couple of reports shy of getting into Up and Coming, you can't ignore a 16% hit factor. Reggie Blackwell WROQ charts it 28-8, #4 in

Sacramento at KROY and #10 at KITS San Francisco. New at OK95, KHIT, WQUT, 0104, KZZP etc.

IMPORTANT! EFFECTIVE JANUARY 5, 1987 THE TOP 40 DEADLINE FOR REPORTS WILL BE TUESDAY AFTERNOONS AT 5 PM WEST COAST TIME.

the GAVIN REPORT/December 12, 1986 15

NOTEBOOK P. by ERIC NORBERG

1986 IN REVIEW 1986 lacked major trends-or at least any

evident to us right now. But there were some interesting developments bearing on our industry:

If there were a major trend, it would be that the CD (digital "compact disc") ceased being a novelty and now seems on a track towards replacing LP's and perhaps tapes for commercial music releases. With their digital technology, CD's eliminate clicks, pops, hiss, pressing distortion and compressed dynamic range. They are also very difficult to make and virtually impossible to counterfeit --so far. Their enormous dynamic range (the ratio of their softest sound to their loudest) does allow music to sound much more "live," but it poses two problems for radio. First is that it elevates listener expectations of audio quality to well beyond anything modern broadcasting, AM or FM, can deliver. (Fortunately, the majority of the population doesn't seem able yet to really tell the difference.) Second is that CD's, when they exemplify this dynamic range capability on the air, tend to sound worse than regular records, since no station's compression/ limiting equipment was designed to crunch such a wide dynamic range. The result is erratic modulation levels, obvious "pumping," distorted peaks and, for a station with multiband compression, erratic frequency response as well.

It may prove necessary for each station using CD's regularly to install an Aphex "Compeller" in the line between each CD player and the board to pre-process the levels, since that is the only level -controlling device that currently able to handle this sort of dynamic range with minimal side effects. (Perhaps just one in the line prior to the regular transmitter audio processing will suffice.)

Certainly one significant minor trend has been the increasing use of CD's at stations of all formats during the past year. But this will almost certainly continue to be only a minor trend unless record companies become as willing to provide CD service as they are standard record service to stations. This is unlikely until pressing capability catches up to consumer demand, which probably won't take place before the end of 1987.

Although the LP seems to have started down the long road to oblivion, it must have a good decade of life left. And, while sales of 45 rpm singles have fallen considerably in the last couple of years, they, too, are likely to remain with us, at least at the radio level. The reason is that the single -song record is such a useful device for record companies to promote an album, and production and distribution of the single is by far the cheapest way of getting music to radio. But for PD's who tablulate singles sales (still a significant way to gauge public taste in at least three formats), the decline of the single at the retail level is cause for concern, and an indicator of the increasing need to increase other forms of record research.

No big, trendy, splashy format swept the country this year, although the "format of the

year," based on continuing quiet gains, was probably Urban Contemporary. 1986 was the year that "all -weather -forecast radio" (Minneapolis) and "intentionally boring news" (San Francisco) demonstrated their lack of viability. But James Gabbert's KOFY-San Mateo, CA, helped to remind us that music, properly programmed in an enjoyable environment, can still succeed on AM radio. KOFY, a 1 kw daytimer which had been all -Spanish for decades until last spring, beat many of the San Francisco Bay Area's biggies in

its first two books with an infectious "oldies" approach. As I've told you before, Gabbert was the single most important figure in turning FM into a successful band. I here publicly congratulate him for helping to demonstrate that AM is far from dead as a music medium when the programming is constructed well. Gabbert can be counted on to do the surprising-and to be a big success as he does. So keep your eye on KOFY as he prepares to increase the power to 50 kw and go fulltime!

For daytime AM's, 1986 was the year that all the promised pre/post- broadcasting was finally allowed --with many stations disappointed by the results. Many benefited nicely, though, and a considerable number were allowed to continue all night with low -power levels, even without the necessity of applying for permission. Increasing interference on the AM band resulted as Class IV's concluded their decades -long campaign to increase nighttime power by being allowed 1 kw fulltime, and the clear channels continued to gain new stations in many parts of the country.

The NAB made a significant effort on behalf of AM by settling on a standard broadcast emphasis curve. This allowed stations to boost the highs to benefit listeners with inferior radios, and manufacturers to design AM receivers with a calculated, standard high -frequency rolloff to replace the total lack of highs that has been the rule due to narrow bandwidth. The manufacturers agreed in principle to adopt this standard for receiver design, but seem to be hesitating to see if (1) AM stations do generally adopt the standardized pre -emphasis curve, and (2) if more stations adopt AM stereo broadcasting, so that the newer high-fidelity receivers can be designed for stereo as well. As noted here recently, the Motorola C-Quam system has become the "marketplace standard," but less than ten percent of the nation's AM stations have gone to stereo, even though some four million C-Quam receivers are in the hands of the public --mostly in cars- and virtually all are unable to decode the only other remaining AM stereo system, the Kahn -Hazeltine.

The NAB is uncertain whether AM stations will generally adopt the new equalization standard, which is essentially the same as the FM pre -emphasis curve except that it rolls off above 10 kHz to avoid excessive "splatter" interference to stations nearby on the dial from high energy between 10,000 and 15,000 Hz. The FCC may be called upon to adopt this transmitting standard into the rules, but it is an open question as to whether they would agree. Although over the

"For PD's who tablulate singles sales, the decline of the single at the retail level is cause for concern, and an indicator of the increasing need to increase other forms of record research."

years I have argued against AM pre -emphasis and reducing AM audio frequency response from the currently allowed 15 kHz, I am a pragmatist. Since it seems the only way we will ever see high-fidelity AM receivers become generally accepted by the public, I support adopting the standard and hope the AM broadcasters of the country will do so as well. The necessary equalization devices will soon become available from broadcast equipment companies.

1986 also saw the start of a major effort by AM broadcasters to transmit higher fidelity audio by broadbanding their old "High -Q" antenna systems. Some consulting engineers have had great difficulty delivering promised bandwidth improvements; I have heard some costly horror stories. I can recommend my old friend George Frese of Wenatchee, WA, as at least one consulting engineer with the knowledge and ability to achieve better fidelity results through broadbanding.

And in 1986, a major effort was mounted by CBS Labs and the NAB to improve the noise figure and coverage of FM stereo broadcasts through the FMX process. Since I wrote about FMX in my September 5th column, developmental progress has been slowed by conflicting reports on degrading effects on standard FM receivers of the FMX FM signal. Some stations involving in the testing say these effects occur only in severe multipath conditions, where the signal is badly degraded anyway. Others say it occurs under less extreme conditions under some circumstances. Until the matter is resolved and all problems refined out of the system, the FMX process is unlikely to become a standard.

The sudden collapse of the RCA -Westinghouse plans to pool their radio assets leaves NBC Radio and its O&Os very much "in play," as they say on Wall Street. "I have no idea why the deal didn't go through," says an NBC executive. "All I know is that Group W's decision to pull out surprised their negotiators as well. It obviously came from the

very top."

RCA still has more than 70 other buyout offers from groups and individuals. One serious tender is from Westwood One's Norm Pattiz, currently sitting on a $100 million acquisition fund raised through a bond issue. (Westwood says the reported $20 million used to buy "Radio & Records" two weeks ago did not come from that fund.) NBC Radio and The Source are current money -losers, but much of that overhead is due to longstanding union contracts. Westwood's Mutual Broadcasting division, significantly, is

headquartered in Virginia, a right-to-work state.

Meanwhile, both nets are going ahead with plans for next year. NBC is moving its monthly "Legends of Rock" program to a

once -a -week schedule. Mutual, meanwhile, has announced plans to set up a second network, called "Mutual P.M.," based at Westwood studios in California, featuring news, sports and longform talk by Larry King and Toni Grant. "This has been in the works ever since Westwood One took over," says Mutual news chief Ron Nessen. "I'm excited --I don't think any other radio network is originating newscasts from the West Coast." Finally, this net note: CBS Radio, old gray CBS, has launched a new COMEDY show. "Funny Stuff' will debut Jan. 7, 1987, with two -to -60 -second cuts "ranging from classic routines to the contemporary humor of Bill Cosby and Billy Crystal." It's sorta like seeing comic strips in the New York Times!

Speaking of classics, WNEW/AM-New York confirms that it's been talking to Steve Allen about filling the late William B. Williams' airshift. The station says a decision should be made in a couple of weeks.

If Steverino doesn't get the gig, he could head for Indianapolis, where WFBQ is looking for a newsperson to blend in with Bob &

Tom's morning madness. PD Marty Bender says he's decided the show needs local items to supplement net newscasts from The Source. "We'd actually prefer a female because we have no women voices on the air now," says Bender. "We want someone who won't be

funnier than Bob & Tom, and who might want to

also do an air shift." The number to call is (317) 257-7565...Taft sister station WLVQ-Columbus, OH, is looking for a morning team, following the departure of PD Pat Still and cohort Mike "Daddy Wags" Wagner to

WRIF-Detroit. Lee Randall is handling the programming duties. Still says his decision to leave was a hard one, but, "They offered me a

stretch limo and I couldn't refuse."

As widely rumored (including here), Dave Logan has returned to program KFOG-San Francisco, although he will stay on the Burkhart/Abrams payroll until the Superstars convention in mid -January. "It was a wonderful two years," says Logan of his consultancy career, "and now I'm hoping to apply what I've learned to making KFOG Number One!" Logan's reappearance shifts PD John Rivers into the News Director's chair, filling in while Scoop "If You Don't Like the News, Go Out and Make Some of Your Own" Nisker is on sabbatical.

'Tis the Season for the annual return of Perry Como to the tube. (For those of you who don't know, Perry was the Teddy Ruxpin of the Fifties.) Ever wonder who watches all those Christmas Specials? Check in

with the Couch Potatoes, a group of 8,000 dedicated "Tubers" whose credo is

"Transcendental Vegetation." Jack Mingo, Couch Potatoes Minister of Propaganda, will be happy to share recipes for such Couch Potato delicacies as "Cheez Choc -Dogs" and "Coffee Crystal Sandwiches" with your listeners. Set up on -air interviews by calling him in Alameda, CA: (415) 542-9574.

Big changes announced RCA/Arista's national meeting in Palm Springs earlier this

month: Rick Bisceglia is now Senior Director, National Singles Promotions. Jeff Backer is Director, National Singles, Joan Lawrence is Director, National A/C Promotion and Trade Relations, Bruce Schoen is

Director, National Top 40 Secondaries and Maureen Guinan is National Promotions Coordinator. RCA Records promotes David Ross to Manager, Regional Album Promotion. Trudi Long has been named to the new post of Administrator, Marketing at RCA/A&M/Arista Distribution.

Other record liners: Michael Plen has resigned as head of promotion for IRS Records and is rumored headed for Virgin. "Mad Dog," as Michael is known in some intimate circles, will remain at IRS through this week. "I'm looking forward to many new challenges and opportunities," he didn't say, but might as well have...MCA Records has named Jeff Hart to the new position of Manager, Film and Television Licensing..Del Williams, the erstwhile PD of the late, great progressive Album rocker KCGL-Salt Lake City, has entered the record business. Del will be handling regional promotion for PolyGram out of Denver, as Katie Arnold-Pedrety takes over local promotion in San Francisco. Del says the spirit of KCGL is far from dead, but, "Nothing in the rulebook says an elephant can't pitch." PolyGram has also hired Cliff O'Sullivan as its Director of Product Development. Rounding out PolyGram's new Product Development Department are Rick Hunt, Marty Diamond, Steve Kleinberg and the vivacious Linda Walker.

Baby talk: Triple congratulations to Aristá s

Bisceglia, who not only got a promotion, but celebrated his 30th birthday with a very special present from wife Mimi: a new daughter, Julie...Congrats too to WPLJ-New York's Shelli Sonstein and WMCA's Keeve Berman, new parents of Dena Ellen.

Don't say we didn't warn you: For the umpteenth time, we're letting you Top 40 reporters know that beginning with our first issue of 1987, the deadline for your reports has been moved up to five p.m., Pacific time on Tuesday nights. Now repeat after us, "Five o'clock, Tuesdays," and you can go.

If you drink, don't drive, especially if Until December is on the road. For the second time in as many months, the band has fallen victim to a drunk driver. Last month, the band's bass player, Bryan Weisburg, was seriously injured when a drunk ran into their brand-new Winnebago near Merced, California. Undaunted, the group found a temporary replacement while Weisburg mended and carried on with their tour. Heading home after their last gig in San Diego, the group was nailed

by another drunk driver outside San Diego. This time, everyone escaped unscathed, but

lost all their equipment when the new van went up in flames. Also lost in the conflagration: Until

December's stage uniform-- leather jockstraps, as well as thousands of "safe sex" condoms distributed at their appearances.

Random Sounds From

Itt8 (Where a high of 87(!) Dees - Grees is predicted for Christmas Day)

The headline in the L.A. Times every day says, "MAJOR COKE BUST!" Every day the story says THIS was the BIGGEST bust in

history. And then there's the line about "street value." It seems the "street value" (whatever that is) of cola uncovered by the LAPD is always the

BIGGEST street value ever. We're sick of these stories and are committing ourselves to the Betty Ford Center for the Prevention of News Stories About Substances.

Other stuff in the past weeks' news: 1. Amy Carter, an ADMITTED VEGETARIAN (!)

was busted for some kind of protest participation. That's good news. Maybe she'll do hard time and, if the old Saturday Night Live crew ever retums, Larraine Newman can revive her great Amy impression, this time as the tough bull con in a remake of REFORM SCHOOL GIRLS.

2. The Celtics stock hit the market this week, and WE bought some of the first shares. This mean's WE'LL be Larry Bird's boss, and we plan

to have a serious talk with our new employee about his hair, post -game -interview illiteracy, and jumping. Expect to see an improved athlete when we're through with him.

3. The national 7-11 convenience store chain has informed us they will no longer be carrying The Gavin Report due to the nude photo of Dave Sholin which appeared in last week's edition. Come on, guys, can't you take a joke...a SMALL joke? We at the Gavin Hollywood Central couldn't care less. The publicity will only help our subscription list. (For those of you who don't know what we're talking about, the Sholin in -the -buff centerfold only appeared in half our press run. If you were among those who missed it, check with Elma Greer. She's horded 50 extras of the classic issue, soon to be as much a collector's issue as the Beatles' Butcher Cover.)

4. The National Lampoon was put up for sale. Asking price: $11+ mil. One of the serious bidders was Gavin publisher Ron Fell. He had some great ideas for HIS version of The Lampoon --like columns called BIO -FEEDBACK, PROMOTIONS, ALTERNATIVE RADIO and RICHLAND'S HOLLYWOOD. In other words, he's ALREADY doing Lampoon material.

5. Julie Nixon Eisenhower has been doing the talk -show circuit, promoting her book about the hell her mother went through being married to her father. (You may remember him --he's the guy who did Dan Aykroyd impressions for 30 years...IN PUBLIC!) Our two daughters have taken the hint, and, being heavily into profits, have written their own book about the hell THEIR mother, Rosemary, has gone through for 30 years being married to the guy who actually tried to inflict The Ohio Express, Joe Dolce and Kinky Friedman & the Texas Jewboys on an unsuspecting public.

Three people whom we liked a lot died in the past few weeks. We FEEL as if we knew all three of them.

Cary Grant was the guy who we ARE in our fantasies. He was, when you think of it, a lot like us: urbane, witty, sophisticated and the quintessential gentleman --tough yet gentle, resourceful yet sensitive, masculine, fine-featured and ALWAYS in control. We liked Cary Grant a lot. We rent NORTH BY NORTHWEST about once a week. Cary was big before movies were rated R or X. He never cursed and was polite to members of the gentler sex. He was also nice to women. He should have won an Oscar for every year he was alive. In an era of the Lime Spiders and Jello Mold Mother, he was a a delightful throwback...oh, and if you want to hear our impeccable impression of our

idol, feel free to give us a call at (800) 231-7453. Desi Arnaz wasn't appreciated HALF as much

as he should have been. When his ex-wife was inducted into the TV Hall of Fame, Desi wasn't mentioned. We think he should have been MORE than mentioned. Desi was the guy who --catch this --INVENTED re -runs. He had the wacko idea that good TV might be TV that people would want to see more than once. So he decided to take shows off kinescope and put them on film. It's because of Desi--and Desi alone --that we get to see The Honeymooners, Mary Tyler Moore and M*A`S*H, and, best of all, I

Love Lucy, again and again. The papers said Desi was a hard -drinking, Cuban cigar -smoking tough guy. We like that. But we like him for more than that.

Chuck Meyer wasn't famous. He was just a promotion man. But he was as important to us --and a lot of other people --as Cary Grant and Desi Arnaz. Chuck worked at Decca in the 60's, moving to MCA, then RCA, then back to MCA, where he did national A/C promotion. He really was a guy who symbolizes what the business is

about, going about his business every day without much glory, looking for adds, calling stations, doing lunch, taking lunch, doing meetings, taking meetings, etc., etc. Chuck was a bit different, though. He NEVER sold out, kept his dignity always, exhibited a unique dry sense of humor for DECADES, gathered a humongous list of friends, and was a man of whom this industry can be proud. We're going to miss Chuck Meyer a lot. He's doing his one-liners for The Big Guy now...and that's how it is,

December 15th, 1986.

A/C HIT FACTOR

A/C ANALYSIS By the narrowest of margins Miami Sound

Machine holds off Billy Joel. Billy gained 50 HEAVY rotation reports and now has 78% of his play in that rotation, while Miami's finest hangs in there with 93% of theirs in HEAVY.

The Ronstadt & Ingram single, SOMEWHERE OUT THERE, is now HIT FACTORED at 97% of its stations.

Chicago picks up 49 HEAVY reports as they near the 200 station mark and clear a 90% HIT FACTOR.

Anita Baker continues her quick and impressive rise as she scores 40 new HEAVY reports and can now boast an 86% HIT FACTOR and single digit chart number in only six weeks.

Lionel Richie is this week's MOST ADDED record and our highest chart debut. A station total of 157 in three weeks.

I'm really surprised that the Billy Vera record is doing better in Top 40 than A/C, even though it has plenty of momentum in A/C NOW! Looks to me as though there are still 111

holdouts. On October 17th, we made Crowded

House the A/C RECORD TO WATCH. Now, nearly two months later it has really kicked in. Its

HIT FACTOR is a huge 71% from 87 A/C stations. Time for a housewarming.

Last week's RECORD,TO WATCH, Journey's Ill Be Alright Without You, added 44 more stations and looks now like a major NC record.

This week's RECORD TO WATCH, The Jets' You Got It AI/is now HIT FACTORED from 51% of its reporters including: KYJC, KKLV, KRNO, KOST, KLOK, B100, KKLT, WMGN, WMT/FM WJON, KFSB, WZNY, WQHQ, WCHV and WKYE.

Maybe once a year we go through a week with no records in our NEW section. This was that week for 1986. It doesn't mean records weren't being added, but most of the adds came from already- existing records. If we were to drop below the minimum requirement of twenty reports we could have shown: Wang Chung (17), Lane Justice (18), Device (18), Bobby Vinton (18) and James Brown (16).

R&D

RECOMMENDED FOR A/C RADIO

KENNY ROGERS Twenty Years Ago (RCA! Another look back through life's rearview mirror. The lyric's sentimental yearning for a simpler time reminds me of the old movie, "The Last Picture Show" with its wordscape of an abandoned movie theatre, a drugstore with counter service and things purchased with a dime.

TOTO Without Your Love (Columbia! It would be tough to surpass the success of their last single, I'll Be Over You, which went to

the top of the A/C chart in October, but two A/C hits in a row is likely nonetheless.

'TIL TUESDAY Coming Uo Close (Epic! This song really sells Aimee Mann as a lyricist. A brief yet close encounter on an Iowan summer's eve gets a beautiful set of connected words enforced by a classic melody line.

Diane Rufer Research:HIT

FACTOR Ron Fell

Hit Factor is a percentage of stations which have it in Heavy or Medium rotation. ie: 100 stations playing the record - 60 stations have it in Heavy or Medium rotation - Hit Factor = 60%

PRETENDERS

GAVIN ALBUM FRONTLINE

STEVE MILLER BAND

Skylarking-XTC (Geffen) XTC reached their mark with 1981's English Settlement package. Ever since then, it's been a steady scratchin' and crawlin' back to that plateau. Skylarking very nearly lifts XTC back to that zenith with the colliding ideologies of producer Todd Rundgren and Andy Partridge. "Earn Enough For Us" is the obvious radio pick, although some are quite fond of the opening track, "Summer Cauldron," the first song I remember about somebody being boiled in the stew and actually enjoying it. The lion's share of the material is written by Partridge, although the deep, vibrant Beatlesque basslines of Colin Moulding distinguishes XTC as well . A true British achievement, Skylarking is a throwback to the Dukes Of Stratosphear project XTC attempted two years ago. There's seven on a side, so rabid fans should find nothing less than a banquet to tide them over until next time. XTC always has a wide open shot at topping our Gavin Alternative charts even amidst such heavy January competition as the Stranglers and the Furs. The quality and high standard of Skylarking reflects the band's eccentric power over an army of progressive -minded listeners. XTC will be prominent inside the Gavin pages for months.

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"-Wack Attack (Epic) Like Aerosmith's "Walk This Way," Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" is also accidently a rap song. Wack Attack is partly comprised of WBCN's Billy West. Like fine wine, great songs stand the test of time and the weathering change of eras.

»Á ((//(7(/i7) et "Pink And Velvet" -Berlin (Geffen! Like their hit single from the Top Gun movie, Berlin's "Pink and Velvet" downshifts into a low gear sensual ooze. Depending on which side of the twelve inch you track, this is either an edited slow song or else a ballad dominated by guitarist David Gilmour unwinding way past the six minute mark. I think I prefer the briefer of the two.

BOB GELDOF GOLDEN PALOMINOS

ec an cal Resonance -Tesla (Geffen) With the help of my trusty clicker, I counted every guitar note on Tesla's debut album. By sheer co -incidence, the number is 24,120, the very same as the reorder number printed on the spine. Tesla's Mechanical Resonance rides the mainstream wave of metal to the right of Scorpions, to the left of Black N Blue and twelve o'clock high over Bon Jovi. Tesla sounds like a happy marriage between young technically minded rock players and an ambitious production team. Though fast guitar players and metal crooners are becoming a dime a trillion, Tesla spice up their stew by utilizing occasional acoustic instruments and interesting guitar tone variations, offering evidence that keen proficiency and dexterity is of priority importance. As young audience's perception of rock talent yields closer to formula, Tesla's chances for long range survival increase. Meanwhile until the hit single and the dominant personality surfaces, they'll continue to run with the wild but densely populated pack.

The Tonight Show Band With Doc Severinsen (Amhers() This is the very first time the Tonight Show has seriously put "Johnny's Theme" to wax (digitally, no less). We've gotten a few laughs around here by spontaneously booming it loud.

"Always The Sun" -The Stranglers (Epic) The Stranglers, a constant source of musical hope, sing about the sun, another constant source of hope. Over the years Hugh Cornwall and the band have maintained the highest mix of edge and melody to their music. Once the entire LP reaches you in January, you won't be disappointed.

the mighty lemon drops

BEASTIE BOYS MIGHTY LEMON DROPS

No Easy Walk To Freedom -Peter. Paul and Mary (Gold Castle/PolvGram) The Weavers and Peter, Paul and Mary were among the first folk acts to penetrate the middle class sensibilities and dinner tables of the Eisenhower and Kennedy eras. Before them, the masses were heavily cushioned against anything too thought provoking. PP&M were also the first to shove the doubting lyrics of Bob Dylan straight into the face of the record buying public. Peter, Paul and Mary are still at it, singing in wavering harmonies, holding candles on parade and riding Washington paddy wagons. No Easy Walk To Freedom is their first album in nine years. I like the politico stuff when they sing together. "No Easy Walk To Freedom," "Greenland Whale Fisheries" and "El Salvador." Book 'em Dano.

BACKSTAGE Backstage -Reilly & Maloney (Freckle) Speaking of folkies, Reilly & Maloney convert a few contemporary songs by Mark Knopfler, Springsteen and Richard Thompson into budding folk ballads. R&M are extremely pure in their approach. The guitarwork and vocals pull absolutely no punches, nor do they make any quick turns. But their roots, and the dedication to them, make it easy to see why they're so popular in the great Northwest. Call 206-682-3200 and ask the Freckle people if they can spare a copy of this fine disc. "Dancing In The Dark" does make a pretty cool folk song. "She Loves The Jerk" -Rodney Crowell (Columbia) To all you women out there either married or otherwise hitched to Mr. King Kong Macho, the guy that embarrasses you at every possible social function, here is your anthem. Sing along, if you will, to the "he's a no good so and so" part, then into the capper: "She l000000ves the jerk." Don't they always. KZ

MOST ADDED 1.Skylarking-XTC (Geffen) 2."Real Wild Child"-IGGY POP (A&M) 3."Livin' On A Prayer" -BON JOVI (Mercury)

MY 2 CENTS O00000. The Pretenders get cocky and retake the number one slot. What's more, Steverino Miller is knockin' at the door, underlined by a slim margin at #2. Clapton strong at #4, no surprise. Bob Geldof continues to amaze, though, as it looks like he'll close out 1986 in the American Top Five. That's just about two years after the historic recording of Band-Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas? Further on down the road, the Kinks at #10 is one of this week's significant movers --4 trax deep. Just below the Kinks lurk the Georgia Satellites, the same band that has been raising hell onstage and on the road. Seems they're giving Jason & the Scorchers a run for the prize money. Speaking of Jason, they make their own inroads by reaching #19 standing up. It's been a good year for piano men. Not only is Bruce Hornsby firmly in at #15, but Billy Vera and the Beaters look like they have a hit single as well. It's the identical live sessions that were released in 1981 on the Alfa label launched from Japan. A few female vocalists occupy the chart. I'm refering to Ann Wilson at #34-#28 and Kate Bush debuting at #35. Other notable debuts include Don Dixon, whose LP almost didn't come out. It was designed for European release only. Also Joan Jett makes a run for it with her cover of Jonathan Richman's "Roadrunner." Poor Jonathan doesn't see a penny unless he chooses to enter a tangle of legal mumbo jumbo. Ahhh, that's rock n roll. Still moving up the charts in the forseeable weeks include Eddie Money's "I Wanna Go Back," which sounds like a hit. Also there's Love & Rockets, Huey's Ladder, a supercharged retail pleaser Bon Jovi, a recharged Smithereens at #25, a re -reformed Iggy Pop at #26 and World Party, who sees the inside of the Top

Twenty at #20 just before '86 slips away...We also would hike to welcome two new stations to the fold. The first is a familar face. That's Bob Kranes from WXRK-New York. Address is

655 Madison Ave., New Yawk, NY 10021. Phone is 212-750-0550. Our other new entry is KNOX/FM. PD is Michael Right. I

already gave him a bad time about his name. KNOX /FM is new to the Album Radio format as of November 17. Michael informs me that they are the second Album Radio station in North Dakota (KOWB/FM -Fargo being the first). Mr. Right can be reached at 701-775-4611. KNOX /FM's address is Box 1638, Grand Forks, ND, 58206. Welcome both of you...A few more reminders. This very issue that you hold in your hands ISN'T the last of the year. We will be needing just one more report for 1986. After that it won't be necessary to call until the week of January 5th. That's a Monday, folks. Please enjoy the Year End Chart. Peter Gabriel's sweep of both the Album Number One AND the Alternative Number One is a true achievement. In your eyes and in your face. Have a safe one. XO KZ.

Robyn Hitchcock barely hangs on for the second consecutive week, but Shriekback is

experiencing a resurgence that could land them back at #1. Elsewhere, The Mighty Lemon Drops squeeze out a top 5 ranking at #4 and last week's Certified Golden Palominos break through. The Beastie Boys are having a Certified party on our chart, moving into the top ten. Aside from Julian Cope and our debuts, the mid -section of the chart is feeling the holiday slowdown blues. Bob Geldof is Certified as our highest debut. Commercial radio is providing the bulk of support. College stations like; KVNF, KWWC, WUSC, WUSB, WUNH, etc. are contributing too. Kate Bush and Stevie Ray Vaughan round -out the debuts with K.B. increasing her chart points by 50%. Look for our two Most Added records, The The and XTC, to debut extraordinarily high and make a run for #1 next year. Both records were added this week at; KUSF, KTCL, KABL, CFNY, WLIR, WXXP, etc. Our last issue of Gavin will be December 19th,

SPOTLIGHT LP Christmas Time -CHRIS STAMEY GROUP (Coyote-Twin/Tone-7") 'Tis the season for holiday music and programmers should be sure to add this to their

list of Christmas records released by Alternative artists (Captain Sensible, The Waitresses, etc). A year after it was originally recorded , Chris Stamey and his old cohorts the dB's have re -mixed this Christmas song and added vocals by Syd Straw. It's in the Stamey & dB's tradition of shifting guitars and vocal harmonies with, of course, Christmas lyrics. The appropriate white sleeve and green vinyl single complete this timely holiday package. Blake Gumprecht is the contact with Twin/Tone Records at (612) 872-0646.

Hit By Hit -THE GODFATHERS (Link) The Godfathers have been making waves in

the Alternative waters over the past year with a

series of singles. This album is a compilation of those singles plus a previously unreleased cover of John Lennon's "Cold Turkey." I

love rock bands that project the sound of five guitars with only two. With thumping bass lines and razor sharp guitar chords, it's rowdy garage music at its finest with a hint of "glitter rock." It may be purely coincidental, but there's a pack of Australian bands (Died Pretty, Lime Spiders, etc.) that are creating music in a similar, unrefined vein. The prime songs include: "This Damn Nation," "I Want Everything," "Lonely Man," "Cold Turkey" and the instrumental "John Barry." Peter

This surprising duo turns out a tasty offering that's tailor-made for Christmas and Country radio.

COUNTRY SUMMARY Seminar Update....Next year ONLY, the

Country Radio Seminar in Nashville is scheduled for the same weekend as the Gavin Seminar in San Francisco (February 19-21). We are working closely with the Country Radio Seminar to insure that this conflict does not occur in the future. Regardless of which seminar you will be attending, the Country Radio Broadcasters are requesting materials from radio stations for display. All printed matter or promotional materials should be submitted to Frank Mull, 50 Music Square West (#604), Nashville, TN 37203. For those of you attending the Gavin Seminar, we want to remind you that the HOTEL registration cards must be returned to the hotel before December 31st in order to receive the

special rate The Country Music Association recently

elected seventeen new officers. Jim Fogelseng, president of Captiol/EMI in Nashville, was elected board chairman and veteran broadcaster Al Greenfield was chosen as CMA president. The trade association's 37 directors also chose the fifteen other officers.

Jim Patrick, Music Director at KSO-Des Moines, tells us that KSO has a new daily feature - "CD's At Seven". KSO is the first Country station in Central Iowa to broadcast CD's.

We apologize to those of you who are still having trouble getting through to us on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The Gavin Phone -Finding Committee has been toiling

away for months, searching for the best phone system possible to handle all those incoming reports. All their hard work has finally paid off, and starting in January, we'll be working with a brand new phone system. This system will hopefully alleviate all the problems that you experience in trying to get through to Gavin! Merry Christmas To Us!!!

Tim Closson at WAXX/FM-Eau Claire tells us that "Santa Got A DWI" by Sherwyn Linton on Breaker Records is pulling in

more requests this year than that old stand-by, "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer." Tim suggest you give the song a play and listen for the moral of the story. Talk to you again next week!!! Lisa & Elma

URBAN CONTEMPORARY SUMMARY JANET JACKSON's breaks the tie for number one with her cool video re -mix , which is getting lots of attention from both the stations and the listeners. If you've received another copy of the single in the past two weeks, that was the video mix - my sources say that each one of my stations was serviced with one of them but it was only marked on the vinyl itself, not on the sleeve. ARETHA FRANLKIN zooms past five opponents to jump from 11-6 for her best week and looks like a contender for one of January's number one spots. Biggest mover in the top twenty is CAMEO's "Candy" - not surprising but getting a #14 already is a quickie since "Word Up" hasn't been gone that long. As you'll notice on

this year-end "Top 100's" on page 53, that tune by CAMEO was the Number One Song Of The Year 1986 - which is no surprise to me. What was rather a

surprise was that the PATTI LABELLE/MICHAEL MCDONALD was big enough to come in at number two - ballads were in abundance during 1986, but that one took away many awards as the ballad of the year, coming in behind the up -tempo dance -floor -packer "Word Up." Both "Certified" titles come from last week's "Chartbound" and the other debut on the charted 40 is the new single by FREDDIE JACKSON "Have You Ever Loved Somebody." What's remarkable about this one debuting in the chart this week is that it just debuted in "Up & Coming" last week, the first week it was released to the stations. Looking good for January, too, are the two Chartbound entries this week: ROSE ROYCE and J.BLACKFOOT. They both logged in with over 40 reports this week. SHIRLEY MURDOCK

had a resurge in reports and takes good jumps on many charts, as well as ours. Requests are reported by Philip David March, WJYL-Louisville, who is getting them from teens and adults, and by LICIA TORRES, KJLH-Los Angeles, who reports "heavy requests from 12+, everyone calls for it," and from Donnie Deane, WKIE-Richmond, "heavy calls from the adults, especially the women," and finally from Don "Early" Allen, WOWI-Norfolk, who reports calls from both men and women. Getting to the newer stuff, a new arrival, GIORGIO has a single called "Sex Appeal" that's ringing phones everywhere it's played. LICIA TORRES, KJLH-L.A. reports heavy calls, L.D.McCollum, XHRM-San Diego says after hearing it played at all the stations > in L.A. he went back to San Diego, put it on and got

m instant out -of -the -box ringing phones off the hook. m

"URBANIZING" by JERRY BOULDING

ESCAPE -- THE NEW MESSAGE IN OUR MUSIC

Whether or not "Love Will Conquer All" or "It's Hip To Be Square," the sentiments sound believeable enough when sung by superstars like Lionel Richie and Huey Lewis. But what those songs do offer without question is a kind of "lover's escape" --a chance to fantasize before we return to reality-and for a lot of us that has pretty much been the story. While today's hit -oriented mass -appeal, high-energy, personality -oriented radio is obviously a marvelous escape, the question becomes "Is that enough?" Should radio and its music be used like motion pictures, television, videos... simply to get away? Well, the views and opinions on that one are probably as varied as the people who have them.

For example, let's say you live and work in a neighborhood where they keep the radio going all day and far into the night. When father goes off to work and the kids go off to school, mother keeps the radio on while she's watching television soaps. When the weekend comes, the son and daughter keep two radios on constantly, listening for their favorite songs and the witty deejay who keeps them laughing between 12

songs -in -a -row. ENDLESS LOVE

By using the radio, you can listen endlessly to almost any kind of music, from classical to the latest hip hits. There really need be no conversation or exchange of thought, for the radio does almost everything for you. Some psychologists say radio helps students while studying, helps some factory workers feel better about doing some rather boring tasks, helps shoppers feel better. Some studies show that a contented shopper may be inclined to spend more and feel better about their purchases. Some grocery chains have even opted to carry favorite radio stations on their PA systems.

The odd part about all this is that radio seems to alter so little the course of life. It may make some things a little more convenient. We have all felt that we have helped make life go a little better. We may have global news more quickly and hear crime described more vividly, but information is

not going to make us intelligent. It's only a thin layer of information about the horrors of the hostages, the ongoing problems with taxes. For many of us, even all -news stations offer a form of escape. And at music stations, it's all the more obvious.

What's wrong with escape, you say? Well, nothing perhaps, except that dependence on beauty and avoidance of the ugly is an escape which becomes torture when that escape is cut off. When beauty becomes necessary to our well-being, "experiencing" ceases and sensation begins. The music, the river, the painting, the party, the thoughts of love become only a means

to further sensation. Sensation becomes all -dominant. The longing to repeat an experience is the demand for sensation, and while sensations can be repeated, experiencing cannot.

Dependence on outward line only indicates an emptiness of our own being, which we fill with music, art or deliberate silence. It is because this emptiness is filled or covered over with sensations that there is the everlasting fear of what is, of what we are and what we may become. Sensations become all -dominant. The longing to repeat an experience is the demand for sensation. HOLIDAY ESCAPE

Escape can, and often does, have seasonal brush strokes. For many in the black -urban audience, the upcoming holiday season can be very important. There have been many theories on how to best handle holiday music and escapes, ranging from "keep the hits coming" to "let's play as many holiday hits as we can." Our research and studies show the black -urban audience is very much into holidays, especially Christmas. A radio station that caters to their total needs cannot ignore the black -urban Christmas classics, and there are many. Most well -run urban outlets prefer to place the special holiday songs in the place of a classic or golden during the holiday season. Some have even set aside a few hours on Christmas day when they schedule nothing but Christmas songs. How much or how little should be played is an individual decision based on several factors. First, naturally, is the number of playable Christmas songs available. Then there is the question of "Should I go outside the format to fill a Christmas void?" The answer, of course, depends on your format and your feelings, coupled with whatever research information you can gather regarding what the market prefers and would accept. It could be dangerous to leave the format just to play some Christmas music and perhaps have someone tune past your station at that time believing they have found another station. On the other hand, there are some songs that would work and that have been established Christmas favorites, causing little risk.

So, even Christmas and Christmas music is a form of escape...one that can make a difference in the listener's perception of your radio station. One thing that always helps is keeping your sense of humor during the busy holiday season. After all, Christmas is when you pay twenty-five or thirty dollars for a tree and find you've been trimmed more than the tree! The battle of Christmas shopping is a time when the casualty list grows in the War on Poverty.

"Our research and studies show the black -urban audience is very much into holidays, especially Christmas. A radio station that caters to their total needs cannot ignore the black -urban Christmas classics."

PROIVIOTIONS by LISA SMITH and BETTY ROLLARS

BILLBOARD BLAST

Chip Mosley, Operations Manager of KSYZ-Grand Island, NE, writes to us about his new Bumper Sticker Spotter contest to promote the arrival of the station's new billboard. The uniqueness of this particular billboard is that the picture on it is of headphones, which are displayed in 3-D with the antenna that extends above the board itself. The dial position is in neon and flashes at night and the Great 108 logo is also set out from the board and is backlit! The day the new board went up they did remote broadcasts from the location urging listeners to stop by and let them put a KSYZ bumper sticker on their cars to play the contest. But Chip comments, "Zoning regulations would not let us put our jocks up on the board, so we had our remote gear set up on the ground below the sign!" Nice one, Chip.

HOLIDAY MADNESS MAZDA

driving it away. Other prizes will include ten -speed bicycles, trips, cases of soft drinks, a child's Suzuki three-wheeler and much, much, more according to the station.

THE MOMENT OF ECSTASY t The car was called "The Red -Hot Rollin' All-American Pontiac Fiero" and the winner described his reaction as his "Moment of Ecstasy." All this was the result of the 0107 (WKQB/FM) Charleston, SC, contest that gave away the car as the grand prize that had Charleston listeners searching for the Golden "Q" keys that were hidden around the countryside surrounding their city. Five "Q" key holders got their chance to try to start the flamin' red car, and George Wilgus exclaimed when his key started it that he's never won anything more than a stuffed animal and this was truly a memorable day in his life! Each Golden "Q " finder won a trip to see Tina Turner in concert in Atlanta while George drove away in the Red Hot Roller!
