In an interview with RecordWorld, Lundvall said that the pri-mary focus of his new position,which he said had been "tailoredfor me," would be "building astrong east coast operation" forthe Los Angeles -based company.

He also said that he wouldhave "primarily an artist -signingrole" at E/A, adding: "I don'thave carte blanche to sign multi-million -dollar deals, but I will be

"They (E/A) are looking to beefup their presence in Europe andthe U.K.," Lundvall explained. "I'llbe sort of logistically dead centerbetween the west coast and Lon-don.

The Rose Bowl Is EmergingAs a Major Concert Venue

By SAMUEL GRAHAM LOS ANGELES - With at leasttwo summer shows already con-firmed and a third a good possi-bility, Pasadena's Rose Bowlseems ready to take its place as amajor outdoor concert venue insouthern California. The firstevent is the June 20 "A Day inthe Country," featuring a host ofcountry music performers; thesecond is the Black Music As-sociation -sponsored "Black MusicFamily Fair," set for August 15. Inaddition, a September appearanceat the Rose Bowl by the RollingStones is the subject of currentnegotiations.

The venerable stadium has longhosted the annual Rose Bowl foot-ball game and has also been thesite of the National FootballLeague's Super Bowl, but concertsthere have been a rarity. RoseBowl director Bill Wilson toldRecord World than an Iron Butter-fly concert at the stadium someten years ago was "a disaster";however, Wilson added, the fail-ure of that show was not the rea-son that the facility has avoidedmusical events since then.

Both Wilson and Richard Flan-zer, producer of "A Day in theCountry" and the Stones concert,should it take place, indicated thatthe Rose Bowl's decision to re-enter the concert field was basedpurely on economic considera-tions. "It's a matter of money,"said Wilson, noting that Rose Bowlincome is needed to help supportsurrounding parking areas, ball-parks, tennis courts and otherrecreational facilities as well asthe stadium itself. What's more,"we need some capital improve-ments in the Rose Bowl," Wilsonsaid, and concert revenue mayhelp make such improvementspossible.

Flanzer said that he has enteredinto "a long-term" deal with theBowl "to produce musical eventsthere, other than religious orcharity -affiliated." Since the "Fam-ily Fair," which will present StevieWonder, Ashford and Simpson,Grover Washington, Jr. and others(RW, June 6), is a benefit for theBMA Foundation, Flanzer's in-volvement does not include thatdate.

Plans for "A Day in the Coun-try," Flanzer noted, were begunas long ago as last September.Performers will include GeorgeJones, Tammy Wynette, MerleHaggard, Rosanne Cash, Don Wil-liams, Mickey Gilley and JohnnyLee, Alabama and others, andwhile Flanzer agreed that coun-try music's recent upsurge inpopularity certainly made such ashow a very attractive one, he

also said that not all acts werechosen on the basis of crossoverpotential. "I just wanted to do acountry show," he said. "There'sa huge market for this."

Several features make the RoseBowl an ideal concert venue,Flanzer continued. First, with itscapacity of over 104,000 in thestands and several thousand moreon the field (the country showoffers reserved seating in thestands and festival seating on thegrass), "it's the largest in theUnited States." Second, "it's veryunique for stadiums and coli-seums of this nature, in that thesightlines are better than anyfacility I've been in." "What'smore, the Bowl's "proximity toLos Angeles is excellent," and be-cause of Pasadena's experiencewith large football and paradecrowds, "the city is very wellequipped to handle largecrowds."

In general, Flanzer said, "I wasoverwhelmed with the beauty ofthe facility, and the sightlinesfrom virtually any seat, and theintimacy of something that canhold over 100,000 people."

Wilson referred to "A Day inthe Country" as "a good test forus. We're not sure the sound'sgoing to be worth a damn inthere. But I suspect it will be O.K.,and we're going to learn some-thing from it. And I think the cityis agreeable to doing a few selectdates (there), maybe three or foura year."

Neither Flanzer nor Wilson an-ticipates any security problems-partly becauses the Rose Bowl isfully enclosed, thereby minimiz-ing gate crashing-especially forthe first two shows, which havebeen billed as family events. Wil-son admitted that he is "not reallycrazy" about the prospect of a

Rolling Stones appearance there,because the Bowl is situated ina residential area. "It's my job tomake money with the Rose Bowl,but (also) to alienate as few peo-ple as possible-it's maximizingthe income and minimizing theinconvenience," Wilson added.

New Yor MEVC

By DAVID McGEEII Gary Lewis and the Playboys starred in one of the oddest successstories of the Sixties. For starters, Lewis could barely carry a tune;and as a drummer he was, you might say, woefully miscast. Hisband got its big break playing at Disneyland, and went from thereto the TV show "Shindig." Upon signing a recording contract withLiberty Records, Lewis's transformation began. Under the steady handof producer Snuff Garrett, and aided in no small measure by thepop wizardry of Leon Russell (who gave a listen to the Playboys andpromptly summoned his friends from Tulsa - guitarists TommyTripplehorn and James Karstein, and bass player Carl Radle - tohelp out on sessions), Lewis had an incredible two-year run of hits,from 1965 to 1967, that might have lasted even longer were it notfor greetings from Uncle Sam and, at the same time, Russell'sgravitating to more subjective concerns (such as becoming the masterof space and time).

In this case, technique and technology triumphed over talent.Russell wrote or co -wrote (sometimes with Lewis himself) masterfulpop -rock songs from the viewpoint of the most insecure adolescentimaginable. Even when Lewis sang an upbeat song, he seemed to belooking over his shoulder in fear of seeing something gaining onhim. This classic schizoid pop worked because Russell's arrangementsand Garrett's sure -handed production adequately glossed over Lewis'vocal limitations.

Here it is 1981 and Gary Lewis is back with a new contingentof Playboys, all of whom were probably in grade school in themid -'60s. But other than the names, little has changed. Lewis still'looks a bit like a dork, and he dresses like a beach -bound frat rat(at the Lone Star Cafe last week he was sporting a yellow and blackstriped t -shirt and what appeared to be, from the columnist's van-tage point, wheat jeans). His stage demeanor is slightly nutty too,ranging from comical' mugging with the lead guitarist to repeatedexclamations of "Rock 'n' roll - I love it!" And what is one to thinkwhen he begins a set by announcing, "We're gonna do a bunch ofnew stuff for you tonight," goes right into Roy Orbison"s "PrettyWoman," and then acknowledges applause for the number thusly:"Hey, there's some great memories from '61."? '61? A search ensues."Pretty Woman": let's see, favorite song of my best friend's obnoxiousgirlfriend; Yankees getting old; the Oklahoma football team in de-cline; finally saw Carolyn Moffatt in a bikini. Yeah, that was '64, avintage year. What's he mean '61?

Similar faux pas follow, again jarring one's memory. There's afamous "Twilight Zone" episode called "Odyssey of Flight 33"wherein a jet airliner passes through a time warp and winds up inthe stone age. So the pilot revs up the engines and cracks throughthe warp once more, only to find he hasn't come back far enough.Instead of 1961 it's 1939, and the ground traffic controller is de-manding of the pilot, "What's a jet?"

That's Lewis's plight in a nutshell. In trying to update his musiche's undershot 1981 and landed in Detroit, circa 1971, backed bya band that wants desperately to be the new Grand Funk, and istrying to get there by refrying Leslie West and Jimi Hendrix licks.

However, there is a future for Gary Lewis, if he wants one. As hisLone Star performance indicated, age has added character to hissmooth crooning, and also given him a new perspective on his oldmaterial (which stands up remarkably well, by the way). Thus, "CountMe In," a tuneful but unchallenging love song, is now performedat a slower tempo-dirgelike, compared to the record-with Lewisstanding on the outside looking in. His delivery is ironic, even mock-ing, at times, and adds a poignant edge to the song. It's easily thehighlight of the show, and indicative of the direction Lewis shouldtake. He is what he always was: .a middle-of-the-road singer. If he'doverhaul the band and find some good new material in an adultcontemporary vein, he could be a popular artist again.

RALPH RECORDS NEWS (OR, ALWAYS NICE TO HEAR FROMYOU, JAY): The world's most bizarre and inscrutable record company,San Francisco -based Ralph Records, introduces yet another mysteriousand possibly dangerous musical aggregation, this one in the formof an English duo, Renaldo M. and Ted the Loaf, know collectivelyas Renaldo and the Loaf (given names: Brian Poole and DavidJanssen).

The Voice Behind 'Shaddap You Face'By SAMUEL

I LOS ANGELES - Novelty rec-ords have long been a part ofAmerica's musical fabric, whetherthey be by Napoleon XIV("They're Coming To Take MeAway, Ha -Ha"), Ray Stevens ("TheStreak," "Ahab the Arab," "Harrythe Hairy Ape"), Dickie Goodman("Mr. Jaws") or any number ofother performers. Yet despite thatlegacy, Joe Dolce's "Shaddap YouFace" (MCA)-a record that someare reluctant to label "novelty"-has to rank as one of the year'shappiest and most surprising suc-cess stories.

"Shaddap You Face," a number -one record in Australia for severalweeks and a hit in such territoriesas Holland, Switzerland, SouthAfrica, Germany and many more,is currently at #26 bullet onRecord World's. Singles Chart. Ac-cording to MCA, the singles hassold some two million copiesworldwide, with 360,000 of thosesales coming in the United Stateseven before significant chart ac-tion was noted. A Dolce album,not surprisingly called "ShaddapYou Face" as well, has just beenreleased by the label.

MCA president Bob Sinersummed up the appeal of a songthat has people everywhere hap-pily shouting "Whatsa mattayou?" at one another when hesaid, "What's nice about this rec-ord is that it makes music funagain. Everyone in the industrywalks around so manic-depressiveso many times. The point of thiswas to go out and have fun withyour music, and bring back whatmusic's supposed to be all about:enjoyment. It's just a happy, fun

Tom Vickers to A&M LOS ANGELES-Mike Gormley,vice president of communicationsfor A&M Records, has announcedthe appointment of Tom Vickersas director of west coast publicityfor the company.

GRAHAMrecord; I think it helps every-body."

Fun it may be, but Siner washesitant to call "Shaddap YouFace" a "novelty record," a termcarrying a stigma that many per-formers and executives alikewould just as soon avoid. SaidSiner, "What's catching people'sattention is the melody that runsthrough it, I think-that's whatpeople are singing, not just funnylyrics." Artists who are successfulwith novelty songs, he added, areoften lost when it comes to afollow-up, but "fortunately, he(Dolce) has a great deal of talent.He does rock 'n' roll, he doespunk, he does country, and wehave a record in almost all thoseformats on the album."

'Great Demographic Appeal'Pat Pipolo, MCA's vice presi-

dent of promotion, did not shyaway from the "novelty record"tag, adding that "it's certainly notoffensive, though. It's a recordeverybody can have a good timewith. And it's got great demogra-phic appeal." As for Dolce him-self, he said during an interviewlast week that "I understandwhat's meant by the word 'nov-elty,' and I don't mind it. But thething is, it's beyond that, becauseit's a classic. There are over 20versions of this song out."

Most of all, added Dolce-anItalian -American from Painesville,Ohio who now makes his homein Melbourne, Australia-"I see itmore as bringing a little bit ofhumor, audience participation andwarmth back into music. 'Noveltyrecord' is a really easy way forpeople to say, 'Well, it's not im-portant,' but the fact is, it's doingan amazing thing in the world. Soif that's a novelty record, well ..."

'An Obvious Hit'Dolce, 33, expressed little sur-

prise at the success of "ShaddapYou Face" in the United Statesand other English-speaking coun-tries. "Having had all my musicalformation in this country," henoted, "and living here for 30years, I knew that it would be ahit in English-speaking countriesbefore anywhere else. I don'tknow exactly why, but it seemedobvious that it should be a hithere." But the record's popularityelsewhere, he admitted, is a littleharder to explain. Like Siner,Dolce attributes it to the melodyof the song, as well as an elementas simple as the "Hey!" includedat the end of each singalong line.

"Shaddap You Face" first cameto MCA's attention when the la-bel's Australian licensee sent acopy to MCA business affairs chiefLou Cook in Los Angeles. "He(Cook) brought it in one day,"said Siner, "and I thought it was

The CoastBy SAMUEL GRAHAM and ELIOT SEKULER

THE SPORTING SCENE: Baseball fans everywhere know all aboutfiery Billy Martin, who happens to be one of the game's most astuteand inspirational leaders when he isn't busy punching out marsh-mallow salesmen or baiting umpires. It was the latter pursuit -actually, he did a bit more than merely bait American League umpTerry Cooney, or so the replays indicate-that apparently inspiredthe august Los Angeles Times to write last week that Martin "isto baseball what Wendy 0. Williams is to music." Now, that has tobe one of the more obscure references ever to make the sportspages; after all, there just can't be that many fans who have everheard of Wendy 0. or the Plasmatics, or who even know what arock -Mohican hairstyle looks like. However, since a lot of folks feelthat Billy got off too easily for bumping Cooney during an argument,we suggest alternative punishment: tie him up and make him listento "Beyond the Valley of 1984" at top volume ... Talk about obscurereferences: broadcaster Chris Berman, a mainstay on the 24 -hour,all -sports ESPN cable network, last week dredged up the old Cowsillshit "The Rain, the Park and Other Things" while reporting that a

Cubs -Giants game at Wrigley Field had been rained out. Then again,station KTTV in L.A., which carries Dodger telecasts, regularly usesPolice tracks to fade between game action and commercials, sosomeone is obviously paying attention to the current music scene. . . Meanwhile, Terry Cashman-of Cashman and West, LifesongRecords and Jim Croce fame-has been getting quite a bit of inklately, some of it generated by Cashman himself, about his song"Willie, Mickey and the Duke (Talkin' Baseball)." In the SportingNews, baseball's bible, writer Ray Didinger recently devoted a columnto Cashman and his tune; among the revelations were Cashman'srecollection of his days in the Detroit Tigers farm system and hisproud admission that as a true trivia buff, he knows that EnosSlaughter played left field for the Yankees on the day that Don Larsenpitched his famous perfect game in the World Series. Cashman him-self wrote a piece for Inside Sports about "Talkin' Baseball," anarticle in which he mentions some other tunes dedicated to ournational pastime (who can forget Dave Frishberg's immortal "VanLingle Mungo," or Frank Sinatra's "There Used To Be a Ballpark"?).Cashman's own record, released on Lifesong, is a gentle tune sungin his pleasant (if essentially bland) tenor; in it he mentions everyonefrom the three title characters (Mays, Mantle and Snider, of course,all of whom played center field for New York teams) to modern typeslike Bobby Bonds, Dan Quisenberry, Rusty Staub and, of course,George Brett and Reggie Jackson.

FOAMING AT THE MOUTH: With strike clouds gathering darklyover the major league baseball horizon, it's no wonder that thebreweries have nervously sought out other means of exposure.Months ago, Michelob astutely struck a deal with the L.A. GreekTheatre, hoping that thirsty concert -goers might make up for revenueslost should the spigot be turned off across town at Dodger Stadium.After all, if you need a tall one to watch Fernando Valenzuela pitch,Lord knows how many you'll drink while listening to Alice Cooper.With all due respect to Tom T. Hall, beer and music have neverenjoyed a closer relationship than they do right now. If you needto know when it's Miller time, for example, you don't look at yourwatch or ask some tired old outfielder; you ask Eddie Rabbitt. Andwhen the baseball strike seemed even more imminent last week,more drastic measures, we hear, came under consideration, althoughjust how much mileage the boys in Milwaukee will get out of theBudweiser New Wave Fest or the Schlitz Ballet remains to be seen.We thought the matter may be getting out of hand when idle talkfrom up north reached us regarding the famed San Francisco CivicLight Opera. Rumors had them changing their name to the CivicLite Opera, under the artistic direction, natch, of Rodney Dangerfield.

LOCAL NOTES: L.A.'s local bands, floundering somewhat since thesecond Knack LP fizzled, may soon get a bit of a boost when DavidJove's New Wave Theatre steps out of its cable access closet and intonational cable syndication. Among the groups that seer fornational exposure is the Austin -transplanted Textones, feaiuringflaxen -haired Carla Olson, whose songwriting, vocal and instrumentalabilities and her all-around magnetism put her in the same league asMartha Davis and Chrissie Hynde. The Textones have aready had theirshare of ups and downs, having gone through a bit of turmoilwhen member Kathy Valentine left to join the Go-Go'sonly weeks after their first single was released by I.R.S. Carla,




Video VisionsBy ELIOT SEKULER

INDIES: With the glut of new material released by the majors atthe recent Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago, a lot of the titlesintroduced by the smaller independent firms were overlooked, al-though probably not by consumers. Hundreds of new titles weremade available by such firms as King of Video, Nostalgia Merchantand VCX, and one company, Capital Video, introduced some 200movies at the incredibly economical price of $24.99. The films they'remarketing at that figure are mostly public domain material butinclude a good number of classics. Since blank videotape is sellingfor not too much less than that sum, Capital Video figures to do abrisk business.

ODDS 'N' ENDS: "Interactive" tapes have been the theme of theCosta Mesa -based Karl Video Corporation, and CES saw the releaseof three new titles by the firm in that category. "Exercise Now,""Speed Reading" and "Video First Aid Kit" all range between 40and 60 minutes and join a list of video titles in the firm's cataloguethat includes such video oddities as Galloping Gourmet GrahamKerr's how-tos on "Making Bread," "Soups/Salads," and "Desserts/Beverages." The more adventurous souls out there might experiment

with "Motorcycle Experience," or even "The Roots of Happiness."NO CHOPPED LIVER: Also in Chicago, Paramount revealed that

next three years.QUARTER INCH: Though most home video firms have thus far

taken the introduction of Technicolor and Cannon's quarter -inchsystems with a grain of salt, Miami -based Video Box Office has jumpedaboard the bandwagon. The firm had twelve titles ready to go intime for the Chicago show, ranging from "The Popeye Comedy Hour"to the 93 -minute "Shark." Since the format is presently limited to30 -minute tapes (and with considerably lesser quality than the half -inch configurations), the future of quarter -inch tape outside of itshome movie use remains to be seen.

FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: Certainly the most controversy kicked upat CES involved Paramount's lashing out at Magnetic Video's AndreBlay and his ongoing sale of some 50 Beta format tapes. "MagneticVideo's policy may be placing our industry at some considerablefinancial risk," a major Paramount exec told a CES press conference,going on to explain that Magnetic's "quota per title" policy isparticularly threatening to Paramount's business. Paramount's studieshave convinced the firm that the home video market is a rentalbusiness, with a rental ratio of 20 to 1 over sales. Blay, however,believes that those figures will change dramatically when more VCR'sare absorbed by the market and, he says, Magnetic will remaincommitted to its belief that videocassettes are saleable collectorsproducts.

THE MUSIC FRONT:Gowers/Fields/Flattery has been especially busylately, producing videos on Joe Cocker up in Calgary, Alberta andChaka Khan at L.A.'s Roxy. The latter project, which entailed thefirm's taping of the artist's entire show, included the participationof such sidemen as the Brecker Brothers and members of the AverageWhite Band. Upcoming shoots include a Van Haden show at Oakland'sColiseum and the long-awaited west coast return of Gary U.S. Bonds,whom they'll be taping for EMI at the Country Club up in the SanFernando Valley . . . Videography Studios, headed by Bob Kriger, hasestablished its own Synthetic Symphonies label. First product thatwill be offered by the firm is "Video Christmas Symphony No. 1,"due to be out in time for the next Christmas holiday season. Thecompany plans to produce an additional six titles over the nexttwelve months and will be releasing its product in Beta, VHS anddisc formats. Music from their video albums is being produced atthe company's new 24 -track studio, co -owned by engineer MauriceLeach. Other collaborators include John Urie, Chuck Cirino andMichael Schultz, who's been responsible for such films as "Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," "Car Wash" and "Cooley High."

MCA Videocassette, MCA Videodisc and Universal Pay Television,along with the Children's Television Theatre Company, announcedlast week that the latter firm's production-accomplished with thecooperation of the School of Minneapolis-of "The Marvelous Landof Oz" would soon be made available to the pay -TV market. The tapewill be produced by Jonathan Stathakis and Richard Carey, withoriginal music by Richard Dworsky and choreography by MyronJohnson.

AND MORE MUSIC: New World Pictures, the Roger Corman-headedfilm company, is throwing its hat into the video ring with twoprojects under development. "Spyro Gyra," an hour-long concertdocumentary, and Chris Blackwood's "Hollywood's Wild Angel," adocumentary about Corman himself, will be the firm's first offerings.The company expects that pay-TV-and, presumably, home video-will soon become a primary source of income.

Concept Video Catching On,Says VAMP's Kim Dempster

By ELIOT SEKULER

MI LOS ANGELES-If you saw aconceptual video music piecejust a year or so ago, chanceswere it was made in the U.K. ormade by a British director, saysKim Dempster, whose produc-tion company, VAMP, recentlyrelocated to this city from SanFrancisco. Only recently have themajority of record labels becomemore willing to take chanceswith storylines or concept piecesfor their promo clips, followingthe lead of such British artists asDavid Bowie and Queen, whose"Bohemian Rhapsody" clip, pro-duced several years ago, is gen-

high when you see them on atelevision screen. You get sixguys on stage and tape their actand they look like little antsjumping around the stage."

ProjectsSince relocating from San Fran-

cisco several months ago, VAMPhas produced clips on such artistsas the Fools for EMI -America,Donnie Iris for Carousel -MCAand Randy Hansen for Capitol.Other projects that Dempsterand VAMP have been associatedwith include tapings of HerbieHancock, the Beat, Huey Lewisand the News, the "Rock Justice"

erally recognized as one of thegroundbreakers in the medium.

ExceptionsNaturally, there are exceptions

to that premise, Dempster con-cedes: such artists as Devo andBob Welch were featured in videoconcept pieces long before thecurrent boom. But only in thelast 18 months have the majorityof U.S. labels accepted concept-ual video without the raising ofan eyebrow, and the choice ofconcept pieces over live perform-ance tapes is only now becomingthe rule rather than the excep-tion.

Conceptual Prices Better

According to Dempster, manylabels still have to be convincedthat a conceptual piece generallyworks better for their artist thanlive performance footage. "Theonly time when a live videoworks better for a band than astoryline or concept piece is whena band is super -energetic on stageor has an especially originalstage act," she says. "What peoplehave to keep in mind is thateven if a band looks great onstage, they're only two inches

video piece, and numerous clipsproduced in association withVideo West's "Backstage Pass"TV show.

"Labels, for the most part, arebecoming more willing to experi-ment with concept pieces. Andgenerally they don't call me forlive video because I'm betterknown for working with story -lines. But managers often aren'tas sophisticated, and they tendto say 'We want to do it on asoundstage; we're selling theband and the band membersaren't actors.'"

EMI

Of the companies she's workedwith, Dempster was especiallyenthusiastic about the attitude ofEMI America/Liberty towardsvideo. "EMI puts all their moneyinto one song and allows for theamount of time it takes to pro-duce a video properly," she says,recalling instances where firmshave balked at the prospect ofspending two days on producinga video clip. The element of time,she believes, is as important afactor as budget in the qualityof the final video product.

Stereo TV Broadcast Forecast for 1982 CHICAGO-The first tests ofstereo television broadcastingwere taking place here last week,as several stereo television re-ceiving systems-both prototypesand consumer -ready devices -were coincidentally making theirbows at the Summer CES. Be-tween midnight and 5 a.m.,WITW-TV, Chicago's channel 11,broadcast in stereo from theSears Tower utilizing a systemprovided by the Matushita Indus-trial Co. of nearby Franklin Park.

According to Thomas D. Mock,staff engineer with the ConsumerElectronics Group of the Elec-tronics Industries Association, theindustry organization plans tomake its presentation to the FCCbefore the end of the year andlooks to 1982 as the year thatstereo broadcasting is adopted asstandard practice in the U.S. Thebroadcast tests will run throughJune; a separate sets of tests ofthree companding (noise reduc-tion) systems will be conductedlater comparing the merits of thedbx, Dolby C and CX systems,Mock told Record World.

The stereo broadcast tests be-ing conducted here are compar-ing three systems developed byJapan's E.I.A.J., The TelesonicsCorp. and Zenith. The tests areaimed at perfecting multichannelbroadcasting that, in addition tostereo, would allow stations thecapability of such secondary pro-gramming features as bilingualbroadcasts. Compatibility withcable reception is another aspectthat is being explored in thetesting.

With the laser optical systemstrongly emphasizing its stereocapabilities, the CED disc systemprojecting stereo capability by

next year and stereo VCR's mak-ing their way into the market, theanticipation that the consumerwill be looking more and moreto stereo capability in selectingnew TV receivers was very muchin evidence in many of the Sum-mer CES exhibits. As reportedlast week, Sony's introduction ofits Profeel television componentsemphasized the system's audiofeatures, while audio designplayed an important role in manyother manufacturers' presenta-tions of new TV harlware.

Lundvall Joinsrequire a separate staff, Lundvallsaid.

"Elektra/Asylum already has astrong New York office," Lundvallsaid. "Elektra/Metropolitan willhave a staff in time, but not untilit's necessary. I'm not going tohire a staff and then go out andsign artists.

"We want to build up a wholenew entity, not change the re-porting structure. We'll be work-ing as a team. Everyone who re-ports to Joe will continue to re-port to him. There's no need forme to have an enormous staff andhave people report to me."

Lundvall said that "most of theartists I sign" will be on theMetropolitan label, but not neces-sairly all of them.

The former CBS president wasquick to dismiss speculation thathe was being groomed for thepresidency of E/A, which hasbeen vacant since the departureof Steve Wax in 1978.

"My interest is solely in de-veloping an east coast entity," hesaid. "I'm not interested in step-ping on anybody's toes. I camein here to start something new,not to take somebody's position,to take an open position, or totake Joe Smith's job when heretires. We haven't even dis-cussed that."

Lundvall, who was known forhis commitment to jazz at CBS,said that he envisions his otherplanned new label as "kind of a

Text of CBS Memo NEW YORK - This is thecomplete text of the memosent to all CBS Records Groupstaffers by president WalterYetnikoff and deputy presidentM. Richard Asher:

"As you undoubtedly haveheard, Bruce Lundvall is leav-ing CBS Records to take on animportant position that hasbeen created for him at Elek-tra/Asylum. He will be missed it

by everyone at CBS Records.Bruce has represented CBS .1Records at its finest. In the 21years that he has been with thiscompany, Bruce has madecountless contributions to oursuccess. Few executives in thisindustry can be credited withthe total dedication he hasshown to the best interests ofhis company. Bruce has earnedthe respect and friendship ofthis entireentire organization, and ofall those on the outside withwhom he has worked. Thoughwe shall miss him, we are sureall of you share our thoughtsin wishing Bruce much successas he undertakes the next stepin his remarkable career."

jazz counterpart to Nonesuch,"E/A's highly respected classicallabel. "I want to establish a veryselective, tasteful, fine roster ofjazz artists who don't fall in thebroad, pop mainstream.

"Maybe it's just another jazzlabel, which I have a feeling theindustry doesn't need, but I thinkI have some new ideas about howto tastefully present so-called'pure' jazz. If we can keep costsdown, it should be able to payfor itself."

Lundvall had been with CBSsince 1960. An internal memosent to the entire CBS RecordsGroup last week by Group presi-dent Walter Yetnikoff and deputypresident and chief operatingofficer M. Richard Asher said thatLundvall "will be missed byeveryone at CBS Records" andthat he "has represented CBSRecords at its finest" (see box).

For his part, Lundvall said thatleaving CBS was "the hardest de-cision I ever made in my life,"and stressed that his departurewas a "very amicable" one.

"It was very tough for me andthe company, but everyone un-derstood I.had to do it," he said."One doesn't walk away from theCBS presidency very easily, but I

felt it was time to make a changein my life. I wanted to get closerto the creative level of the busi-ness, to the music.

"I feel a lot of loyalty to CBS.Walter and Dick have been verysupportive. But at this point in mylife it's time to do somethingnew." He spoke enthusiasticallyof E/A's "liberal, progressive at-titude," of its relatively small size,and of the fact that in his newposition "I won't have to worryabout administrative details."

Lundvall was to spend thisweek at E/A headquarters in LosAngeles, meeting with the staffand familiarizing himself with thecompany and its artist roster. Hewill officially begin his new jobon July 6.

Named president in 1976One of the most respected ex-

ecutives in the record industry,Lundvall had been vice president/marketing at CBS and vice presi-dent and general manager of theColumbia label before beingnamed to the presidency of theCBS Records Division, the U.S.arm of the CBS Records Group,in 1976.

During his presidency, Lund-vall was involved in the signingand development of numerousartists, the expansion of CBS Rec-ords' black, country and jazzrosters, the acquisition of theoriginal cast albums of the Broad-way shows "Annie" and "Bar-num," the strengthening of CBSRecords' presence in Los Angeles,and the staging of Havana Jam,the first concerts by Americanartists in Cuba in 20 years.

Lundvall is chairman of boththe Recording Industry Associ-ation of America and the CountryMusic Association and a directorof the National Association ofRecording Arts and Sciences andthe T.J. Martell Foundation.

As a collegestudent on Easter break, Koppel -man and two schoolmates signeda contract and recorded one hit,as the Ivy Three: a novelty songabout Yogi Bear. "I met DonKirshner at a resort on a basket-ball court and before I knew it,I was working for him.

In 1975, Koppelmanformed the Entertainment Com-pany as an independent produc-tion and publishing company,with Martin Bandier, producerGary Klein and builder SamLefrak.

Six years later, with hits byStreisand, Dolly Parton, Janis Ian,

"When Jon Peters and I firstspoke about it, we thought ofBarry's songs and productioncapabilities, and Barbra's voiceand the way she brings out themost in other talents. You al-ways risk a relationship by askingan artist to do something that'snot in the norm, but the truthis that we always rise to theoccasion. It's easy to find nine orten songs and record an albumwith someone who's considereda superstar. It's very difficult tocreate event after event and keepany artist constantly in the fore-front of the music business."

event is selection of what Kop-pelman calls "source material,"meaning the thousands of songsin the Entertainment Company'spublishing arm. This constantlyexpanding store of music canonly be expected to appreciatein value no matter what softwaremay come to dominate the homeentertainment market: "I thinkthe song has always been a majoringredient in having hit recordsand helping to create major art-ists.

"We're discussingthe matter with people inside andoutside the industry." Several ma-jor record retailers, according toHeiman, have expressed interest.

The recent profit of $500,000(on sales of $51 million) repre-sents a "major turnaround," saidHeiman. "We've really turned thecompany around, and the profitwould have been much, muchbetter if we had a better productflow. You have to consider thattwo years ago we had a loss of$3 million."

Heiman predicted that by thetime a merger or sale agreementis reached, Nehi will have heldtalks with the great majority ofthe record retailers in the country."It's premature to mention anynames," he said, "but we've beengetting a lot of calls." It's alsopremature, he said, to speculateon the role he may personallytake in the company's future.

Black Music ReportBy NELSON GEORGE

ANOTHER TASTE OF SUCCESS-"First time burned, second timesmart" is the motto of Janice Johnson and Hazel Payne, the principalsof A Taste of Honey. After their platinum success with "Boogie OogieOogie" in 1978, they found themselves on the road for five months insupport of the single and their album. "We didn't go right back inthe studio and record a follow-up, so by the time the first albumbegan to decline we weren't ready to come back with a new release,"Johnson recalled in a recent interview. The duo feels the disappoint-ing sales of their "Another Taste" album domestically was largely aresult of this situation.

With "Sukiyaki" and their "Twice As Sweet" album giving themthe same across the board success as "Boogie," Johnson and Paynehave already started work on their next album. "We've done somepromotional work, stopping in Boston and some other markets,"Payne said. "But we've been concentrating on getting the music ready,so when we do get back on the road in July, we'll have a new album,plus music from 'Twice As Sweet' to work with."

George Duke produced their last album, but due to his involvementwith his charted LP with Stanley Clarke, "The Clarke/Duke Project,"he wasn't available. Instead Ronald LaPread, bassist of the Commo-dores, is handling production chores.

Despite the success of the ballad "Sukiyaki," Payne said, "peoplestill identify us with disco because of 'Boogie,' so with this nextalbum we really want to bring out our vocals. People were so sur-prised by 'Sukiyaki,' but we've always sung ballads."

MUSIC OF NOTE: Nona Hendryx is making her presence felt onvinyl again. Since LaBelle split and she released a solo effort on Epic,the fiery singer -songwriter has been a regular on the New Yorkclub scene, playing with a rock group called Zero Cool. She appearson two recent releases: "Don't Be So Cool," a cut on Cameo's new"Knights of the Sound Table" LP, and the Ze records 12 -inch, "Bustin'Out," with the progressive new wave group Material. The latter is atrack from "Seize the Beat (Dance Ze Dance)," an eclectic compilationof New York dance bands that attempts to fuse disco, funk, Latin, andnew wave influences into a hybrid dance music. Both selections areentertaining, and Hendryx's distinctive vocals certainly add to each.Will she ever land that elusive label deal .. . The Sugarhill crew fromEnglewood keeps turning out. "Showdown," on which the Furious Fivemeets the Sugarhill Gang, is the latest . . . For aficionados of deep-fried soul, there are two new albums worth hearing. Z.Z. Hill's self -titled release on Malaco records displays his deep, husky voice cover-ing Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," Sam Cooke's"Bring It On Home to Me," and the blues standard "Blue Monday."It was recorded primarily in Jackson, Mississippi, and it sounds likeit, with swirling organs and punchy horns highlights of the instru-


NEW YORK - Small black -owned retailers, known affection-ately throughout the industryas mom and pop stores, arehaving a tough time surviving,according to several outspokenblack retailers. Bruce Webb ofPhiladelphia's Webb's Depart-ment store, Ted Hudson owner ofTed's One Stop and founder ofHudson's Embassy retail store inSt. Louis, and Joe Long of Birdel'sin Brooklyn, New York, havebeen selling records for twodecades. All claim that unfaircredit and advertising policiesare hurting small black entrepre-neurs and each has his own ideasof how to improve the situation.

"If ten black guys mess uparound the country, that endscredit for two generations," saidWebb. "We black retailers can'tfail, we have no trial and errorperiod, cause we aren't even al-lowed to play the game."

Said Hudson: "If there was anyequity in terms of credit, blackswould have some of the biggest,most successful stores in the busi-ness, because our sales are sosolid. As it is, credit is not reallybased on competence, but onrace. As a result the record in-dustry is wasting a very valuableresource."

"With the prices going up asthey are, forcing us to chargea higher price on albums andsingles to our neighborhood cus-tomers, and the companies ad-vertising the large chains with dis-counts, we mom and pop storesare in a very difficult position,"said Long. "We can't competeprice -wise, and consumers are

being directed on radio and tele-vision to buy somewhere else.I've seen so many stores foldunder this pressure."

Organization is the key to sur-vival for the mom and popretailer, according to the trio. InHudson's case this has meant thedevelopment of an "Owner -Operator Program." Over the lasttwo years, Hudson and his sonKeith, who owns Hudson's Em-bassy, have been training localpeople under a managementagreement and putting them inbusiness. They then become cus-tomers of Hudson's One Stop."It is sort of a franchise kind ofplan," said Hudson, with theneophyte retailers given five yearsto pay back any money. "Westarted out with five guys andso far only one has dropped out"said Hudson. "I haven't reallyspoken about it before becauseI wanted to see if I could workthe bugs out. I think it's a con-cept that can be applied acrossthe country."

Long said he feels that buyingcooperatives are keys to thegrowth of black retailers. "In theNew York area we have severalgood black one -stops, who knowthe business and know themusic," Long said. "Yet all theydo is battle each other for thisand that, while on the wholeeveryone is still struggling."

"They have got to, at somepoint, pool their resources. If wecan get the black retailers andone -stops to come together as apressure group we would havesomething. With the large num-

Black Music Report(Continued from page 20)mental backing . . . Even better, however, is "This Time Around,"an album on Stax of previously unreleased Staple Singers tracks.It is a remarkably good LP (makes you wonder why it wasn't re-leased before), and Mavin Staples again shows why she is one of theunderappreciated treasures of black music. Standout cuts include"A Child's Life," "Live In Love" and "This Time Around." Al Bellproduced the original tracks, with Herb Jimmerson adding additionalstrings, horns, etc. . . . Warners and Island are servicing radio witha great two-sided Bob Marley single, "Jamming" (which originallywent top ten in England) b/w "No Woman, No Cry," an exceptionalperformance. Perhaps black radio will lose some of its reluctancetoward reggae and give these classic songs a shot . . . A fine newsingle by Midnight Star on Solar, "I've Been Watching You," suggestsproducer Leon Sylvers' ear for the solid hook and snappy rhythmarrangement continues unabated, good news indeed for new dis-tributor Elektra/Asylum.

Small Black Retailers (Continued from page 20)

bers we can generate largeenough numbers to impact onthe distributors and through themthe manufacturers. If they don'trespect us for what we do inbreaking records, then we haveto begin operating in a way theyunderstand."

At Long's popular Brooklynoutlet, he says he found the keyto "holding my own" was push-ing deleted albums. "My priceson current records, due to risesat the wholesale level, are higherthan those of department storesand discounters. So when some-one comes in I make him awareof the Al Green, the Ray Charles,the Dells, the Candi Staton orlerry Butler album he might havemissed the first time around.Since the music is good and theprices much lower than currentstandards, I do an extremely goodvolume this way."

Webb Forms IRRPAFor Webb, organization meant

the founding of the IndependentRecord Retailers Protective Asso-ciation a year ago. "Right nowit is a Philadelphia group," Webbsaid. "But we are now about totry and gain members nation-wide. We are going to have tolobby for ourselves if this creditand advertising situation is goingto change."

Webb said IRRPA hopes "togo to Washington and speak onprice fixing." The veteran retailerthinks the Federal Trade Com-mission should investigate therecord industry's pricing struc-ture and overall take an activerole in regulating the major com-panies. "Nobody oversees therecord business. The governmentmay get involved with runningdown bootleggers or pirates. Butno one questions things when,within a two-week period, all thelabels increase prices the sameamount."

A black executive involvedwith marketing and merchandis-ing at a major label offered sev-

eral comments on the mom andpops' plight. He said "They haveto realize that credit problemsare no longer isolated to smallretailers. All you have to do issee what happened to Peaches,the Record Shack, and Korvettesand see that the record businessis no longer fun and games. Sotoday, I think the small dealerhas got to do what he does bestand that is know his clientele'staste and be astute enough toorder what they want.

"I think it behooves everysmall black retailer to join theBMA, an organization that, if weuse it, can be a forum for theirproblems. It is up to blacks inthe industry to get the BMA to-gether and put it on the coursewe want."

The executive said he was op-timistic about the future of smallblack retailers. "These guys areexcellent buyers, because the dol-lars are so short. Necessity hassharpened their skills . . . Weat the big companies always thinkin terms of volume. But we aregoing to have to put a dollarvalue on what a small dealer doesin terms of breaking product,generating that interest thatmakes the big volume stores or-der a record."

20th Realignment(Continued from page 4)

rector Donnie Brooks will now re-portedly be in charge of all pro-motion areas at the label. Brooksis expected to supplement 20th'sremaining in-house staff with in-dependent promoters.

Eiseman was quoted in DailyVariety as saying that label presi-dent Neil Portnow will be in-creasingly involved in A&R acti-vities at 20th. However, late lastweek, Portnow was reportedlyconsidering an offer to head up anew label to be distributed byCBS.

Radio WorldRadio Replay

By PHIL DIMAUROIN ABC RADIO CREATES TWO NEW NETWORKS: Two new full -serviceradio networks, to be introduced on January 1, 1982, have beenunveiled by ABC Networks president Ed McLaughlin. One, described

as an "AOR/Top Tracks" network, is aimed at the 15-34 demographic,while the second, described as "adult -oriented," will target the 18-49demographic, zeroing in on the 25-44 group. Both will offer news,features, long -form specials and public affairs programming.

Bob Chambers, vice president and general manager of the ABCRadio Networks, told Radio Replay that the new nets are necessarybecause radio is now so much more "specialized" than it was whenthe four existing networks were structured 12 years ago. The currentABC FM Network, for instance, has been servicing a wide range ofstations, from AORs to the more adult -oriented, contemporary hitFMs. Now, features like "The King Biscuit Flower Hour," currentlyfed through the FM Network, will become part of the new AORnetwork, while the current FM network will offer products tailoredto the contemporary rock stations.

The new adult -oriented network will also differ from the currentInformation Network, which offers more "serious, hard-hitting, in-depth" looks at the news, and the Entertainment Network, whichtakes a consumer point of view, "the you in the news," accordingto Chambers. The new net will offer "a broad scope of the newsin brief," in Chambers' words, concentrating on three -minute news-casts. "The hottest format right now is country," he said, "andthere are a lot of country stations out there who desire a nationalnews service and want a network affiliation."

With the flexibility afforded by the new nets, Chambers expectsthat ABC will not have to cross affiliate lines to sell features as often,because stations will be getting material that's more often appro-priate to their formats. Taking a broader view, Chambers feels thatthe networks will make radio in general much more attractive toadvertisers. In the under -35 market, he predicted that the new ABCAOR/Top Tracks network, combined with successes such as NBC'syoung adult network, The Source, would give television a run for itsmoney, attracting advertisers who aren't already in radio "withsome nice reach figures." As Chambers observed, there are still over5000 unaffiliated stations in the U.S.

NOW . . . ABOUT THAT BUILDING YOU VANDALIZED: New YorkMayor Ed Koch meets a cowboy -booted King Kong (who's beenappearing on billboards for the city's stereo country station, WKHK,proclaiming "New York is putting its boots on") and a mime whofrequently entertains on the city streets at the recent NYMRAD (NewYork Market Radio Broadcasters' Association) Festival held at theSheraton Center May 28. The mime, hired for the occasion byMcGavren Guild Radio, provided a silent counterpoint to the manyextroverted air personalities who took the podium to announce thewinners of some hefty door prizes, including stereo equipment,vacations and a moped. (Radio Replay's luck ran as usual.) Thefestival, held in the hotel's largest ballroom, was a riot of games ofchance and skill, from blackjack to baskelball, that the thousandswho attended could play for nifty promotional items, all prizes

Public BroadcastingFacing $25m CutbackIII WASHINGTON-The Corpora-tion for Public Broadcasting suf-fered a Congressional setbackearlier this month when theHouse and Senate tentativelyagreed on a cut of $25 million forthe fiscal 1983 budget.

Congress will be voting in thenext few weeks on legislation toreplace the 1978 Public Broad-casting Act.

N.Y. Black Coalition UrgesBoycott of Crocker and WBLS

By NELSON GEORGE NEW YORK -A coalition ofHarlem -based retailers and smallrecord company owners called theNational Black Committee for Eco-nomic Justice is asking New York-ers to boycott black -owned WBLS-FM and its popular air personality -program director Frankie Crocker,charging that he ignores recordsby small independent black la-bels.

TacticsThe group has blanketed sec-

tions of Harlem and midtownManhattan with flyers denouncingCrocker's programming policies.For two days in the first week ofJune the NBCEJ had a sign on theApollo Theater marquee stating"Boycott Frankie Crocker, Unfairto Black Record Companies, Art-ists, and Producers." WBLS wasnumber three in the last Arbitronratings book.

Paul Winley, owner of his ownself -titled record label and a Har-lem one -stop, said NBCEJ mem-bers had spoken "with Frankie inreference to why he doesn't play

records by black companies andweren't satisfied with his answer,so we initiated this action." As anexample of the group's complaint,Winley noted that two rap ver-sions of the BOS charted single,"Heartbeat" were released withindays of each other. Sweet Gee's"Heartbeat Rap" on white -ownedWest End records-the same NewYork indie that cut Taana Gard-ner's original record - receivedconsiderable air play on WBLS.The Treacherous Three's "Feelthe Heartbeat" on Enjoy records,owned by longtime industry vet-eran Bobby Robinson, receivedno play on WBLS. In contrast, NewYork's two other black-formatedstations, WXLO and WKTU,placed it in rotation.

Winley told Record World heplans a three -stage protest: post-ers to alert New Yorkers to thepotential boycott, rallies and pick-eting of WBLS's mid -town offices."We are black companies in theblack community, hiring black


"Wrap record."

The Coast (Continued from page 12)accustomed to sharing the spotlight, decided to give it a go as theleader of a three-piece group. "I'm pretty much of a ham," she toldCoast, "so I never felt, 'Oh gee, gosh, I'm going to have to be inthe middle there all by myself.' I do get stage fright every now andthen, but not too often." Readers who feel inspired by that confessionof vulnerability to rush to the Texan beauty's assistance should holdtheir horses. A new guitarist/vocalist, one George Callins, has justbeen enlisted as a fourth member and is presently packing his geardown in his native San Antonio. With the group moving somewhatto a Tom Petty-ish mainstream rock sound, the addition of anothervoice and guitar should go a long way towards filling out an alreadyimpressive delivery.

MISCELLANY: We hear that Joe Jackson, who broke up his bandnot long ago, will be back on the road this summer playing whathe calls "jump music, live music and swing." The material willreportedly include many tunes by the likes of Cab Calloway andthe great Louis Jordan), which is terrific news. If you've never heardthe music of saxophonist/vocalist/bandleader Jordan-a repertoirethat includes things like "Reet, Petite and Gone," "Barnyard Boogie,""Five Guys Named Moe," "Jack, You're Dead" and any number ofhilarious, swinging others-this is your chance, and it shouldn't bemissed . . . A one -hour TV salute to the Beach Boys on their 20thanniversary is now available for syndication from Zanya Productionsin New York. Concert footage from the Boys' earliest days to lastyear's July 4 extravaganza in Washington is included.

THE SEEDY SIDE OF COAST: When a burly messenger unburdenedhimself here of a couple of crates of oranges recently, our deviousminds strained to guess the purpose of their delivery. TangerineDream, maybe? Nah, E/A is much too tight with a buck, and if somemanager had forced them into it, they would have sent only onecrate of oranges. How about SqLizeze? New album after all, just outon A&M (and a good one, too). Well, maybe . . . Juice Newton?Could be, but a little too obvious, and her record's been out for awhile. It finally dawned on us that there was, after all, an accompany-ing press release, and though it pained us to have to open an envelopeon a Friday morning, we broke down and read the following: "Donot ask for whom the orange peels ... it peels for thee, obviously...",and went on to be a cleverly -worded announcement (from BobLevinson) of the new Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre, located, wewere told, only an hour away in Orange County. Get it?

NOTICE: The June 23 dinner meeting of the California CopyrightConference will feature the topic "The Producers' View of Today'sRecording Industry," with panelists/producers Chris Bond, MichaelLloyd and Michael Ormatian, hit -makers all. Call (213) 784-3284 forinfo and reservations.

fornia, and to Debbie and Michael Lansing, whose daughter KimberlyBrooke was born June 6 in L.A. Dad works for Michael Lippman, Inc.,and is tour manager for Leo Sayer and Melissa Manchester... On amore somber note, Drake-Chenault Enterprises' Doug Flodin is now athome after recent brain surgery.

Cover Story:Three Million More for Styx With three consecutive tripleplatinum albums ("Grand Illu-sion," "Pieces of Eight" and "Cor-nerstone") under their belts, Styxcould have been excused if theircurrent album, "Paradise Thea-ter," failed to achieve the wide-spread commercial acceptance ofits immediate predecessors and"only" went platinum. However,with two top ten singles alreadyculled from the LP and more,presumably, on the way, Styx iswell on its way to approachingthe three million mark onceagain.

Keyboardist Dennis DeYoung,guitarists Tommy Shaw and JamesYoung, and twin brothers drum-mer John and bassist Chuck Pan-ozzo don't appear in gossip col-umns and have never had signifi-cant support from critics. But asmembers of the A&M recordinggroup Styx, they have continuallytoured for months at a time whileconsistently selling out all of thearenas and stadiums that theyhave played.

estant ethic of hard work anddoing your job as best you can doit." With songs like "Blue CollarMan," Styx has spoken to otherswho share that feeling. DeYoungtalks from experience: after yearsof minimal acceptance, the grouphas become so successful thatthey were named most popularrock band in America by a Galluppoll.

In 1970, Styx signed withWooden Nickel Records in Chi-cago. After four albums for thelabel, the group had enjoyedsome regional success but hadnot yet embarked on anythingresembling a national tour. In1975, under new management,the group signed with A&M.Ironically, "Lady," a song releasedtwo years earlier on WoodenNickel, reached the top ten thatspring-just months before theirdebut A&M album, "Equinox.""Our manager, Derek Sutton,begged a lot of promoters to takea look at the band," says JohnPanozzo. "We did 186 dates in1976. We were delighted. It waswork and work puts food on thetable." For their efforts, the groupeventually received a platinumalbum for "Equinox."

Classical Retail TipsBy SPEIGHT

The news from Philips thismonth just might be some of thebiggest of the year. Though two -pianist teams are not too fre-quent, there are a fair numberaround, and most have been re-corded. Something new is com-ing from France, however, andPhilips has it on record. The newcombination is the Labeque Sisters-Katia and Marielle-and theirfirst record, included in the Junerelease, is George Gershwin'sRhapsody in Blue and the PianoConcerto in F.

The excitement comes fromsome absolutely amazing salesfigures disclosed last week by thePolyGram vice president in chargeof Philips, Nancy Zannini. Herparent company in Holland re-cently informed her that world-wide sales reports on the Labequerecord have made it the biggestclassical seller for the entire Poly -Gram group. Sales in France re-portedly exceeded 100,000 by the

sisters' hugesuccess has caused the companyto rush forward with anotherGershwin record for September,which will employ the talents ofsoprano Barbara Hendricks sing-ing some of the great songs.

Cool ReadingTwo pianists outselling Pavarot-

ti? Having heard an importedcopy of the record, I can under-stand why it has been so enthusi-astically received. Though as

Americans we are not inclinedtoward chauvinism, it shouldquickly be stated that the twosisters' grasp of the idiom ofGershwin is complete. The open-ing clarinet glissando in theRhapsody has exactly the rightfeeling as played by piano. It's acuriously cool reading of theRhapsody, a reading that makesvery good sense in light of thebrilliant Gershwin played in therecent past by such an expert asWilliam Bolcom. This music neednot be so heated up; it was com-posed in an age when coolnesswas very significant. The two playbrilliantly together, and neverstint when a forte is required, al-ways keeping the sound veryclean. The overall effect of theirplaying is of elegance, preciselythe mood that is often missing inGershwin performances.

The version of Rhapsody fortwo pianos was created by Gersh-win and performed at the Roose-velt Hotel in New York with him-

JENKINSself and the pianist Isodor Gorn.Though Gershwin did not orches-trate the concerto, he did com-pose it very much on the pianoand indeed, according to the rec-ord's liner notes, used four stavesin his composition. The perform-ance has a flair and independentintegrity that makes it well worthhearing. It is not that the Labe-ques' playing duplicates an or -orchestra or is better than one; itis just a successful translation ofone type of work to another, andthe basic sound and feel ofGershwin is not lost. The playingis really remarkable, particularlyso in the brilliant coda. Now wewill discover if the success of thesisters-both still very young-inFrance can be duplicated in thiscountry.

* * *

Angel this month has a releaseof four discs of which the mostpopular should be selections ofclassical music from recent pop-ular films. All Wagnerians who at-tended a showing of Excalibur,the recent realization of Mallory'sMorte d'Arthur, must have beenstruck by the use of Wagner. TheSiegfried Funeral Music was usedstrangely to refer to the discoveryof Excalibur (the sword themenever was played at the right mo-ment), but music from Tristan andIsolde and Parsital was ingeni-ously utilized. When Lancelotlooked at Guinevere, the "look"motive of Tristan sounded; andParsital cropped up every timeanyone searched for the Grail.To many, it may have made nodifference, but it was fun forthose who love the music, andthe performances were good. NowAngel makes them available,along with more Wagner fromApocalypse Now, Pachelbel'sKanon from Ordinary People andthe lovely Mandolin Concerto ofVivaldi heard in Kramer vs.

Kramer.Another release from the Rach-

maninoff Third Piano Concerto,contrasts two very different musi-cal personalities. The two partici-pants both have recorded it manytimes before and have played itcountless times, but together? Thetwo are Leonard Bernstein andAlexis Weissenberg, and the or-chestra is the Orchestra Nationalde France. The difference in theirapproaches should make for a

stimulating concerto, one that anypiano lover would want to hear.

Bueno, les agradezco el viaje a RCAdi Brasil y a la Regional RCA de Latinoamerica, enlas personas de Adolfo Pino y Oswaldo Gurzone.

Helcio Carmo, Omar Jundi, Osmar Zam, Ze Luis Rodriguez, HenriqueGastaldeho, nombres reconocidos, de hace tiempo, en mis inquietudessinceras y amistosas. iGracias a todos por momentos inolvidables!

La Regional RCA, establecida en Brasil desde hacealgunos meses, pasard sus oficinas centrales a

Internacional de Brasil, Omar Jundi yHenrique Gastaldeho,,, luchando con los intereseseditoriales del conglomerado en Brasil, Ze LuisRodriguez a cargo de prensa y Relaciones Publicas

Ricardo Graza en Brasil. El energico y buenote de OswaldoGurzone a cargo de la Operation RCA en Brasil. Triunfara plenamenteporque es brasileno de plena sangre. Identificado con los problemas

normales y las grandes posibilidades del mercado,Gurzone se da de Ileno en sus labores directrices.Ojala no le pongan piedrotas en el camino.

El problema de los derechos autorales en Brasil,esta al rojo vivo. Titulares en los periodicos masimportantes que leen desde: "Asalto a la propiedadintelectual," "La historia de un desfalque," a "elderecho autoral no esta siendolo." La historiaviene desde hace tiempo. Politicas acaicas,

Koppelman(Continued from page 17)"Endless Love," is tied in witha PolyGram film to be releasedthis summer.

"There were a lot of elementsinvolved with this project," heunderstates, referring to artists,producer, film company and thenumerous related figures-"then,you hope what you come up withis also a hit." But after listeningto two proposed mixes of "End-less Love," smiling faintly all thewhile, Koppelman is certainenough to remark: "If there wereno film, it would still be a hitrecord."

While the Entertainment Com-pany's consultant involvementcan often avoid the hassles ofdistribution and sales, Koppelmanfinds himself thinking more seri-ously lately of establishing a

record label, a move that wouldgive the company total controlover the handling of product aswell as the lion's share of returns:"We go out and supplement thepromotion forces and spend a

great deal of time and moneyand effort on communicatingwith record companies and fieldpersonnel-since we do so muchof everything else, that might bea better alternative for us."

Regardless of the specifics ofdistribution or even format,though, Koppelman continues tooperate on a principle of appealby sheer quality. "I think we'vefound over the last three or fouryears that when an artist of notedelivers a boring piece of pro-duct, the public doesn't want it.But if they deliver somethingstimulating, creative and imag-inative, everybody wants it: theywill buy three, four, five of them,one for the house, for the car, forthe summer home. Whether it'svideodisc or tape that ultimatelytakes over, everything's going tohave music, and that's where ourexpertise lies, dealing with all thecreative elements."

Radio Replay (Continued from page 28)

offered by greater New York area radio stations, networks who havethem as affiliates, and rep firms. Needless to say, a few of the jockswho took the mike also took advantage of the fact that their moreprudish listeners (the ones who like to send letters of complaintto the FCC) were not listening in.

THE BOSTON CHOCOLATE PARTY: Because one of its sponsors,Nestle Corporation, sells baby formula to underdeveloped nations,the King Biscuit Flower Hour has been dropped as a weekly featureby WBCN, Boston. The concert program, produced by DIR Broad-casting and distributed by ABC Radio, has been on the stationevery Sunday night since February 1973.

"It would be inconsistent, given WBCN's editorial stance againstthe use of Nestle's baby formula in underdeveloped countries, forus to continue to air a program sponsored in part by Nestle's," wasGM Tony Berardini's official statement. The decision resulted fromthe recent World Health Organization Convention in Geneva, wherethe U.S. was the only nation to vote against the adoption of a codeprotecting third world nations from "the marketing strategies ofinfant formula manufacturing companies," according to the WBCNrelease. The station management feels that Nestle's lobbyists influ-enced the U.S. vote, in effect putting "profit before the lives ofchildren."

Berardini emphasized that the decision has nothing to do withthe station's relationship with DIR or ABC-in fact, he looked intoways of running the show without the Nestle spots, but that wouldhave violated contractual obligations. Nor are Berardini or 'BCN ona crusade. "We're not leading a boycott against Nestle," he toldRadio Replay, "we're just making a statement."

Mr. Rivera is the first Hispanicto serve on the FCC.

The President also plans to re-nominate James H. Quello for asecond term on the Commission.Only Quello and the FCC's newchairman, Mark S. Fowler, havepast broadcasting experience.Both Quello and Rivera are Dem-ocrats. They will join Joseph R.Fogarty in forming the Demo-cratic minority.

In response to the posters, InnerCity Broadcasting chairman PercySutton read a statement over theair defending Crocker and his se-lection of music.

"WBLS has brought many oftenunseen, and frequently unac-knowledged benefits to blackwriters, producers, musicians, andperformers," the statement said."These benefits grew from thefact that the faster WBLS grew inaudience rating, the more oftenother radio stations attempted toimitate WBLS's style, by playingblack music on their stations."Sutton credits WBLS with influ-encing radio stations nationwideto play black music.

Sutton said his station gives"maximum opportunity to themaximum number of black mu-sicians, artists, and producerswhose music fits into our pro-gramming format. It is a matterof fact that 90 percent of all musicheard on WBLS is written pro-duced, and performed by blacks.The survival and success of WBLSrequires that management main-tain control of its program for-mat; including, of course, musicselection."

The statement made no refer-ence to the question of playingrecords of black -owned compa-nies versus those of white -ownedcompanies.

JapanBy CARMEN ITOH

TOKYO-On May 21, Alice, superstars of American -influenced"new music," suddenly announced their decision to stop working forone year from this November. This year marks their 10th year as agroup and Alice is scheduled to hold nationwide concerts celebratingthis occasion. The kick-off concert will be at Hokkaido on June 10and the tour will continue till' October 31. In between the concertshere they are scheduled to perform in Southeast Asia and Peking.

Three very talented people (Shinji Tanimura, Takao Horiuchi andToru Yazawa) who had and still have very varied music backgrounds(folk, rock and jazz, respectively) Alice was formed in 1971. In thebeginning their concerts drew only about 30 people, now, a decaderater, 80,000 fans gather at Budokan to listen to their music.

In 1979 Alice set a record -breaking milestone by selling 5,500,000,-000 yen worth of singles, albums and cassette tapes. On an individualbasis in 1980 Shinji Tanimura ranked number three in the lyricscategory, selling 1,770,000 copies; in 1979 in the music compositioncategory he placed number six, selling 1,430,000 copies. TakaoHoriuchi ranked number three as a songwriter in 1980. They setbrilliant records both as a group and as individuals.

In terms of music and sales Alice have become very solid. It appearsthat each of them would like to indulge in his own solo activity inorder to discover and experiment with their potentials. That is themain reason given to their moratorium for a year. But it seems avirtual dissolution. Little hope is seen for re-formation of the group.

Quincy Jones' third visit to Japan was finalized and the much -awaited concerts will start next month. The concerts, fully sponsoredby Suntory Beer, will be on July 6 & 9 in Tokyo, July 7 at Koke, and onJuly 10 at Fukuoka.

The line-up of musicians who will accompany Quincy are: JohnRobinson on drums, Rod Temperton on synthesizer, Paulinho DaCostaon percussion, Louis Johnson on bass, Ernie Watts on saxophone,Greg Phillinganes on keyboards, Toots Thielemans on harmonica,Jerry Hey on trumpets, Carlos Rios on guitar and Patti Austin & JamesIngram, vocals. The horn and the strings sections will be provided byJapanese musicians. The news of Quincy's visit has created muchexcitement and expectation because it has been six years since hislast visit. And on top of this, all the back-up musicians are outstanding.

Quincy's "Ai No Corrida" is currently enjoying a smash hit here atdiscos and cable radios. It is number 27 on the single charts this week(dated June 1) and the album, "The Dude" is ranked number 18.

"As a musician and a producer who is currently leading theAmerican music scene, we hope to utilize Quincy's visit to shareQuincy's strength and talents along with his beautiful personality tothe Japanese fans," commented Nobuo Seki of Alfa Records. "We atAlfa are promoting a Quincy campaign by utilizing not only commer-cial newspapers but also through special FM programs and profes-sional magazines."

LONDON-While Chrysalis Records' recent survey of U.K. recorddealers did not contain too many shocks on the disk front-retailerscomplained of too many faulty pressings evading quality control,expressed overwhelming approval of five percent returns schemesand criticized the major distributors for their delivery problems-itseems a surprisingly small number of record outlets do not now stockvideocassettes. Of the 150 dealers sampled, half were selling pre-recorded video tapes and the figure rises to 75 percent when blankvideos are taken into account. The exercise certainly bears out currentfeeling that video will provide the major growth area in the entertain-ment business in the next decade. On the record front, about three-quarters of respondents said they preferred the service from theregional' one -stops, the main reasons being prompt delivery (usually24 hours, even over the weekend), and Chrysalis marketing man KeithLewis felt these were areas that could easily be tightened up to makethe major distributors more attractive. Despite continuing buoyancyof pre-recorded tape, the survey reported that too many retailerswere jacking up cassette prices above the equivalent album tagrecommended by manufacturers - a strange situation when pre-recorded tape is one of the few growth areas on the music sceneat the moment.

BLANK TAPE ISSUE: As the BPI's campaign for a blank tape levyapproaches a fever pitch in advance of a Government "green paper"discussion document on copyright-which the record industry hopeswill come up with the goods-the six main U.K.-based audio andvideo tape manufacturers have formed a common front. The TapeManufacturers' Group has been set up to challenge BPI claims forcompensation and numbers Sony, BASF, 3M, TDK, Maxell and Memo-rex as its members, headed by Sony MD Bill Fulton. Initially it hopesto be able to refute suggestions by the BPI that local record manu-facturers have been losing up to £1 million per day through copyrightbreaches on their product. The tape companies' move follows thepublication of an eight -page booklet by the BPI setting out its casefor a blank tape levy. The idea is that a collection body should beset up similar to the MCPS or horse -race levy board. Blank tapeimporters and wholesalers would have to buy duty stamps to beaffixed to tapes and the revenue distributed among record companies,and copyright holders. The Government green paper document couldbe published within a fortnight, according to Department of Tradesources, and will eventually lead to a new Copyright Bill. New legis-lation is regarded as being somewhat distant, however.

On the other side of the coin, BBC Records is working on hair-triggertiming for its "Official Royal Wedding Album," which the companyhopes will hit the shops just two days after the happy event. Plansare afoot to record the nuptials of Prince Charles and Lady Dianaat St. Paul's Cathedral on July 29, to be edited into master tape formby 6 p.m. that evening. Then PRT, along with other pressing plants,will be working overnight and flat-out to fulfill heavy advance ordersin time for release on July 31. The label's marketing manager, JamesFleming, reckons if all goes to plan the LP might make the numberone spot and provide the BBC with its first chart topper. National'press advertising should help it on its way together with proposedmail-order promotion through the Tellydisc company on TV. OtherRoyal Wedding release news includes a pact with Stiff Records for"The Ballad Of Lady Di" by Hon. Nick Jones and Ian MacRae -already a huge Australian hit. Tellydisc, meanwhile, could be makinghay on the wedding while sweating on the future of a novel promo-tional idea which has run into unforeseen delays with the MCPS. Ithas delayed the mailing of 300,000 flexi-disc samplers in the hopeof negotiating a better royalty deal for the discs, which advertiseforthcoming and catalogue product. The MCPS is askingfor a 3.5p royalty per disc. "That just makes the idea uneconomical,"said Tellydisc marketing director Denis KnowPes. "Why should wehave to pay the publishers for the privilege of promoting their copy-rights?" MCPS claims it is charging Tellydisc the lowest possible rate.

Jazz BeatBy SAMUEL GRAHAM

ALIVE AND WELL: It would be very easy indeed to tear one'shair out and beat one's breast in lamentation over a situation wherebygenuine blues recordings -whether they be by trusty oldtimers likeMuddy Waters or vital newcomers like the Robert Cray Band -can'tget arrested on rock 'n' roll radio, while tunes like Pat Travers'"Snortin' Whiskey" (a stone blues progression) and Led Zeppelin's"How Many More Times" (copped just about note -for -note andword-for-word from Nowlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years," butattributed to the Zeps themselves), to name but two, are AOR staples.And sure, it is maddening, but that's a tale for another time. Thefact is that there's a lot of blues out there to be heard that is bothgood and real, if you look around a bit.

Both major and little independent record labels offer blues of awide variety, young or old, urban -electric or rural -acoustic. Muddyhas recorded for Blue Sky/Epic for a while now; MCA boasts bothB.B. King (who isn't recording only blues anymore but who stillknows on which side his bread is buttered -the bluesy side) andBobby "Blue" Bland, and Atlantic offers Rocket 88, an aggregationfeaturing everyone from Jack Bruce and Charlie Watts to Hal "Corn-bread" Singer. Several mostly -jazz labels have blues titles as well:Muse recently released a Sonny Terry -Brownie McGhee package;Storyville has issued albums by Sonny Boy Williamson, ChampionJack Dupree and others; Pablo regularly delves into the blues withJoe Turner, Count Basie and more; Fantasy/Prestige/Milestone hassome blues in the catalogue, and Inner City's latest installment of theJazz Legacy series includes a 1961 Paris concert by Jimmy Witherspoon("Le grand chanteur," the emcee calls him). That only scratches thesurface, too - especially when one considers that just about alljazz records have a basis in the blues.

Takoma, an eclectic operation if ever there was one, has an excellentBlues Series that includes both compilations and individual offeringsby performers like Bukka White, Robert Pete Williams and Dr. Ross.And there are small labels largely devoted to the blues, like Chicago'sAlligator and Delmark, California's Arhoolie and New York's VioletRecords. Alligator remains particularly active, what with regular re-leases by guitarists Lonnie Brooks, Albert Collins, Tony Mathews (amember of Ray Charles' band whose fine new Alligator album is"Condition: Blue") and the great Buddy Guy (his new one, sanslongtime partner Junior Wells, is "Stone Crazy"), as well as singerKoko Taylor (her third for the label will be "From the Heart of aWoman") and others. And you just know the blues are still goingstrong when you realize that there is a Japanese bluesman (not to beconfused with the Chanels, a Japanese R&B band that performs inblackface) out there who specializes in such fare as the immortal"Brues with a Feering." Seriously.

NOTES: Another word about the Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays collabora-tion "As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls," recently released byECM and described in this column last week as "radically differentfrom anything Metheny has ever recorded before" (the side -longtitle track, that is), is in order. About a year and a half ago, whenMetheny had four albums as a leader under his belt -including hisquartet's extraordinary debut LP and the all -solo "New Chautauqua"-he told High Fidelity magazine that "no one should think that allthe pieces are in just based on the four records I've made so far.There are huge elements of my playing that I intentionally haven'tput on record." Since that time, Metheny has made a second groupalbum, "American Garage" (with keyboardist Mays as his writingpartner, as on the first one); he has toured and recorded with JoniMitchell, along with Mays, Jaco Pastorius, Mike Brecker and Don Alias;he has made a very loosely -structured double -album (called "80/81")with Brecker, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden and Jack DeJohnette-older, veteran players with mainstream and avant-garde chops; andhe has recorded the "As Falls Wichita . . ." record, which reportedlywas first conceived as a Lyle Mays solo project. All in all, you'd haveto acknowledge that Pat wasn't kidding around when he claimed that

eall the pieces weren't in yet. What's next? . . . Bandleader RayAnthony's Big Bands '80s, formed about a year ago to help ensurethe continuing success of big bands everywhere, has completed sixmonths' worth of research on its Big Band Album Record LibraryCatalogue. It contains about 1200 LPs, by 160 different performers onsome 80 different labels, and has been sent to over 200,000 fans and1000 radio stations. Big Bands '80s, which has received non-profitstatus, numbers the likes of Harry James, Woody Herman, Les Brownand Pat Longo among its members. The organization's activities aremany and varied. You can write for a catalogue to 9288 Kinglet Dr.,L.A. 90069 . . . June is "jazz month" in New York, and a host ofConcord Jazz musicians will be playing all over town, includingBuddy Tato,, Billy Taylor, James Williams (with Art Blakey), WarrenVache, Marian McPartland, George Shearing and Scott Hamilton.For info about dates, locations and times, call Peter Levinson at(212) 935-1036.

NEW WAX: Woody Shaw's new "United" is probably the bestalbum he's made for Columbia since the first one, "Rosewood." Thetunes -including Wayne Shorter's title track and offerings by Shaw,Cole Porter and pianist Mulgrew Miller -are thoughtful and engaging,with melodies and rhythms one can hold on to, serving more of apurpose than that of introducing and/or following solo spots. Bandmembers include Miller, Steve Turre (trombone), Stafford James (bass)and Tony Reedus (drums), as well as trumpeter Shaw and alto playerGary Bartz (who guests on one track) ... Inner City's new Jazz Legacyrelease includes titles by J. J. Johnson and Al Cohn, Willie "TheLion" Smith, Gerry Mulligan, James Moody and Jonah Jones, as wellas the previously -mentioned Jimmy Witherspoon. Each of these rec-ords was licensed to Inner City by France's Vogue Productions . . .

New items from Storyville include the Warne Marsh -Lee KonitzQuintet "Live at the Montmartre Club"; The Buddy Tate Quartet/Quintet featuring pianist Tete Montoliu in a release with the clevertitle of "Tate a Tete at La Fontaine, Copenhagen"; "Mike Bryan andHis Sextet," matching guitarist Bryan and people like Doc Severinsen(the Doc of some 20 years ago, that is) and Georgie Auld on a hostof tunes by Benny Goodman and others; and "Vic Dickenson'sQuintet," with trombonist Dickenson joined by Tate, George Duvivier,Red Richards and Oliver Jackson . . . Twofers due from Milestonethis month include Cannonball Adderleys "Alabama/Africa," Theloni-ous Monk's "April in Paris/Live" and Max Roach's "Conversations."There will also be five Prestige offerings, by Sonny Rollins, CharlesMingus, Gene Ammons, J.J. Johnson/Kai Winding/Bennie Green/Willie Dennis and Johnny Griffin/Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis.

Performance Royalty Bill(Continued from page 3)

ties and the Administration ofJustice was James J. Popham, dep-uty general counsel of the Na-tional Association of Broadcasters(NAB); Robert G. Herpe, chair-man of the board of the NationalRadio Broadcasters Association(NRBA); and Wayne E. Hesch,past president and former chair-man of the Amusement and Mu-sic Operators Association, Inc.(AMOA).

Popham, after reminding sub-committee 'members that HR1805was the latest "in a long line ofbills" to establish a performanceright and that "every Congresshas rejected it," urged them tolook "at over a decade of evi-dence" that showed that the billwould be "an inefficient and in-effective solution to a non-existentproblem."

Popham said that broadcasters"derive some benefit from theuse of recorded music," but atthe same time "record companiesand performers benefit hand-somely from the constant, con-tinuous and extensive exposureof their recordings on radio. Thiscreates a balance of 'benefits," headded, "which would be de-stroyed by requiring stations topay for the right to promote rec-ord sales."

Popham also offered evidencethat musicians have median andaverage incomes higher than thegeneral public, rather than alower income, as proponents ofthe bill maintain. He also saidthat the main problem faced bymusicians and performers is thattheir supply far exceeds the de-mand, a problem that would notbe remedied by passage of thebill.

On this point and others, Rob-ert G. Herpe of the NRBA pre-sented similar but more aggres-sive testimony.

"It is a specious argument tobring up the 'poor' musicians andperformers who don't profit fromthe sale of records," he began.Warming to the point, Herpeasked: "Why should radio sta-tions which provide the air timewhich leads to the success of arecord and/or a performer beasked to subsidize those membersof the record industry who can-not secure adequate compensa-tion from that industry?"

Herpe also put forth an opinionthat certainly would have rankledrecording industry officials, sug-gesting that were there not fed-eral laws prohibiting payola, therecord companies and promoterswould be more than willing topay stations for air -play, ratherthan the bill's mandate that thestations pay the companies. "Thisis not logical," he concluded.

The AMOA's Wayne E. Heschalso provided controversial testi-mony, telling the subcommitteethat those who perform and re-cord music "are not the authorsof the music," and, therefore,their "constitutional grant of au-thority" does not permit theircreativity protection to go beyondsession payment for their servicesto "implement the songwriter'screation." (Proponents maintainthat the creative work of mu-sicians and producers is as mucha creative work to be protected'by copyright as the copyrightedsong itself, and that often it isthe performers as much as thesong which brings success to arecord.)

Jukebox Owners' Objections

Hesch also told the subcom-mittee that today the jukeboxbusiness is in a depressed condi-tion, and added burdens upon itwould be unfair, especially in thelight of the recent compulsorymechanical license fees that juke-box industry must now pay tosongwriters.

Hesch also said that jukeboxoperators are one of the largestpurchasers of 45 RPM singles and"are the principal source of reve-nue for the record companies,performing artists and supportingmusicians," and that jukeboxes al-ready provide "an additionalbenefit .. . through jukebox playand promotion of records."

The bill now goes into the pre -markup stage, and then to fullJudiciary Committee markup.Markup probably will not beginuntil late summer or early fall,according to a subcommitteestaffer.

"It's important to watch themembers during these sessions,"a staffer told Record World. "Thetestimony both pro and con maybe eloquent, but if it doesn'tmake an impact on the members-it doesn't matter. I think there'smuch more support for the billthan ever before," he said.

Industry Discusses CX(Continued from page 3)

pressed by recording engineerssurveyed by Record World wastheir belief that CX-encoded rec-ords lose their dynamic equilib-rium if they are not played backon special decoders that the con-sumer must buy. The CX tech-nology involves the compressingof sound at the encoding stageand the later expanding of thesound with a decoder. Playedthrough a decoder, which willcost consumers approximately$100, a record's surface noise isgreatly reduced. In demon-strations, CBS executives claimthat the CX-encoded records arecompletely compatible and soundfine without a decoder.

Lee Hulko, president of SterlingSound, a mastering facility, saidthat CBS's claim of compatibilitywas "ridiculous." Without a de-coder the records sound "terri-ble," said Hulko.

Sigma Sound's Joe Tarsia, whois chairman of the board ofSPARS (Society of ProfessionalAudio Recording Studios), agreedwith Hulko. "With hard rock andloud dance music there is noproblem with records playedwithout a decoder," said Tarsia,"but for classical music, light popand any music with a lot of openspace and soft passages, there isa lot of shifting of sound andcoloration."

SPARS members will be giventheir own demonstration of theCX system this week in NewYork, and the organization is ex-pected to take a firm position onthe issue soon afterwards. SPARSpresident Murray Allen, of Chi-cago's Universal Studios, said that"before all our members hear thesystem, my position is one of con-cern."

Aside from the question ofcompatibility, Allen said that hewas concerned about how pro-ducers and artists will react to thechange of mix that results fromthe encoding and decoding proc-ess. "Studios work very hard to

Anne Murray's Canadian Admirers

Amongst Anne Murray's many admirers at her recent concert at the LondonPalladium were the Canadian High Commissioner, Jean Cassellman-Wadds, andthe Agent General for Nova Scotia, Donald M. Smith. Murray met her guests at acocktail party after the show.

have the best equipment so thatproducers can get the exact soundthat they want. So if the soundis taken and changed at the mas-tering stage-and it is changedwith CX-a producer's work is

altered. Let's say Picasso does apainting, and you photographedthe painting, and in the develop-ing of the picture the reds comeout yellow, you've altered thepainting, the art. Studios dependon how the record sounds in themarketplace for their reputation,and for their ability to get repeatbusiness. So this is a concern."

Even if SPARS officially objectsto the CX system, it is not likelyto affect CBS's ongoing attemptto convince other labels of themerits of the system. The CX en-coding process takes place at themastering facility, and doesn't re-quire a recording studio to buyany new equipment. Since themajority of rock and pop master-ing is done at a handful of facil-ities, the studio will either deploythe system "or not get the busi-ness," as one engineer put it.Engineers at four mastering facil-ities said that CBS is supplyingthe CX units free of charge.

Most engineers said that thefinal approval for the systemwould ultimately come from theartists and producers. A&M Rec-ords' Mary Bornstein, VP in chargeof quality control, said that hislabel is about to carry on an ex-periment with one of its top art-ists whereby the artist will listento CX-encoded tracks played withthe decorder and without. De-pending on the results of this testand others, A&M will make a de-cision about its commitment toCX. Other labels are reportedlycarrying on similar experiments.

Since the majority of top -sell-ing artists have a contractual rightof approval of final mixes, someengineers intimated that they willattempt to tutor artists about theproblems of compatibility.

Although many of the engineerscontacted have reservations withthe basic CX technology, mostconcede that with a decodingunit, the sound on pop and rockrecords is improved. "What CBSis doing," said Tom Steele ofFrankford / Wayne, a masteringfacility, "is forcing the consumerto get the decoder. But there area lot of stereos out there.

"It's pretty obvious that CBS isdoing this to keep digital out ofthe marketplace," concludedSteel. "They-and the other ma-jors - have a lot of moneywrapped up in manufacturing,and none of it is equipped tomake digital records. They're try-ing to preserve analog recordsfor as long as possible."

Joe Dolce (Continued from page 10)hysterical. I think a lot of peopleat the time thought we werecrazy, but it worked." Making itwork, he added, involved "nothammering it (at radio)," but in-stead "letting it almost happenby itself and just keeping peopleconstantly aware of it. It was kindof a low -profile push, but itworked to our advantage."

Pipolo noted that expectationsfor the record were that it wouldbe "an instant success-it wouldlast for three or four weeks anddie a quick death." That was notthe case, however, as "ShaddapYou Face" was released here onJanuary 23 and did not meet with"the initial, instant success wethought we would have," Pipolosaid. When stations did begin toadd it, he continued, those sta-tions were not in areas with largeItalian -American populations -such as Philadelphia, New York orBuffalo-but rather in places likeMinneapolis, where WSPT wasamong the very first to add "Shad -dap You Face" to the rotation.Later on, stations of varying for-mats, from New York's WKTU("which has an urban sound") toBoston's AOR mainstay WBCN,added it as well, and the momen-tum built rapidly.

Both Siner and Pipolo notedthat although stations of all varie-ties are indeed playing "ShaddapYou Face," many of them are fail-ing to report it. Siner attributedthat failure to "the basic insecur-ity of radio, or whatever," whilePipolo explained that "with theselimited playlists these days, they(stations) feel that they can playthis as a novelty record and nottake up a slot on their numberedplaylist; it allows them to play anadditional record."

Dolce, whose promotional visitto Los Angeles included appear-ances on the Mike Douglas, MeryGriffin and "Solid Gold" televisionshows, is a performer of literallymany faces. Principal among hischaracters is "Shaddap YouFace's Giuseppe, described byDolce as "a combination of Chico

Marx and my grandfather andgrandmother, and all the thingsthat, as a child, were really Italian(to me)." Giuseppe, he added, is"master of ceremonies" and man-ager of the other characters in theJoe Dolce Music Theater, whoinclude rockabilly singer Big JoeTexas, "serious and sensitive song-writer" Joe Dolce, and singer and"avant-garde accordian mime"Lyn Van Hecke, the last of whomis the only one not played byDolce himself.

PerserveranceThe various Dolce characters,

as well as Van Hecke, are allpresent on Dolce's album, whichfeatures remakes of Rufus Thomas'"Walking the Dog" and "If YouWant To Be Happy," a hit in 1963for Jimmy Soul on the SPQR label.Said Dolce, who has experiencein modern dance, poetry, cabaretand other entertainment genres,"I have a clear idea of the direc-tion I'm taking, and that is a fu-sion of theater, music and move-ment . . . I never tried to reachthat wide of a market (with "Shad -dap You Face"), and I really don'tthink it's necessary to strive forthat. The main thing is to staytrue to your intuition about whatis exciting and important for mein my art; and occasionally, wemay strike a common note. But ifnot, at least the perserverance ofgoing through all this on my ownkeeps me going. That's what'skept me in it for 13 years with nocommercial success-and I wouldnever trade in the amount of in-formation I've gained in those 13years for another phenomenonlike this. I'm grateful that one ofthem has happened."

Dolce also considers himself "avideo artist, among these otherthings." A 30 -minute videocas-sette of his entire act "will bemarketed soon," he said, and "interms of reaching people, thatcan almost replace performinglive. You can send your videosaround the world, and you don'teven have to go to the (individual)countries."

Stark/Camelot Execs Visit A&M

bouzoukis, flocdrums, hacksaw blades, scalpels, horse whinnies,otherworldly declamation and, apparently, an all -mouse chorus onspeed. The duo clearly works in an alpha state (the highest level ofcreative consciousness), producing sounds understood as music onlyby minds functioning, if you will, in a delta, or coma, state, fromwhich death follows. If Edgar Allen Poe were alive today, he wouldturn for comfort, on a midnight dreary, to RenaId° and the Loaf.

In time this band could challenge the Residents for supremacyof rock's lunatic fringe. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Mosttroubling cut: "Is Guava a Donut?"

SOFTBALL NEWS: The Record World Flashmakers took undisputedpossession of first place in the entertainment division with a 16-2win over the Know Talent agency and a 2-0 whitewash of theNational Hockey League team. Without Luther Rackley in the lineup(the little-known trombonist was no doubt playing a gig withCharlie Paulk's Personal Foul) Know Talent was virtually helplessagainst RW's stout defense. They picked up two runs on two singlesin the second inning after Stan Mieses had walked two batters.Before that, Mieses had thrown 15 consecutive scoreless innings; hewent on to hurl five more shutout innings that night, and sevenmore against the NHL, giving him a remarkable streak of 27 scorelessinnings out of his last 28 pitched.

Flashmaker John Kostick continues on a record -setting RBI pace,picking up number 22 of the year against Know Talent and number23 against the NHL (the latter came after heralded Flashmaker rookieLee Heiman had legged a routine single into a double).

CONDOLENCES to Neil Sedaka, whose father, Mac, died on June6 at the age of 67 at his home in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, of cancer.He is survived by his wife Eleanor, his two children, Neil and Ronnie,four sisters and four grandchildren.

MOVING ON: Carol Sontag, whose song "Give It to Me, Honey"was a hit overseas, has left the Rogers & Cowan public relationsfirm, where she worked in the music department.

Freddie Salzberg is no longer with Chrysalis Records. He can bereached at (212) 751-3478.

ROD SWENSON, manager of the Plasmatics,, has been foundinnocent of the charge of obstructing arrest stemming from a post -concert incident in Milwaukee on January 19. A jury brought theverdict in on June 11, ending Swenson's six -day trial. At the sametime, Milwaukee County dropped charges of resisting arrest againstWendy 0. Williams. Still pending against Williams are charges ofviolating a Milwaukee city ordinance pertaining to prohibited conducton licensed premises.

The Plasmatics plan a counter -suit against the city of Milwaukeecharging excessive and unnecessary brutality by the police de-partment.

Down The Hit Highway With Ray BakerBy AL CUNNIFF

NASHVILLE - If there's onething that producer/publisher RayBaker can claim to have devel-oped over his 19 years in themusic business here, it's a remark-able ear for recognizing a com-mercial country song when hehears it.

Baker has no fewer than fiveproduction and publishing creditson this week's RW CountrySingles Chart: he produced andpublished Moe Bandy's "MyWoman Loves the Devil Out ofMe" (13 bullet), produced JoeStampley's "Whiskey Chasin' "(38 bullet), and produced andpublished Judy Bailey's "SlowCountry Dancin'" (86). He alsorecently co -published WayneKemp's "Your Wife Is Cheatingon Us Again" (which logged 12weeks on the chart) and RayPrice's "Getting Over You."

Extensive CreditsBaker's career and credits are

more extensive than some whoare not familiar with the quiet -spoken 43 -year -old might guess.Baker, a native of San Antonio,Texas, found his first employmenthere in the summer of 1962,when he landed a job in the salesdepartment of WMAK. An avidOpry fan, he spent most of hisweekends at the show, and soonencountered an artist he hadearlier met in San Antonio, JimReeves.

"Jim hired me to run his Tucka-hoe publishing," Baker recalled."It was a cut in salary for me atthe time, but it proved to be valu-able experience." Before longReeves was referring to Baker ashis business manager, and Bakerwas plugging songs for Tuckahoe-and plugging tapes on himselfas an artist. "Fortunately for meI never made it as a singer," hehe said with a laugh. "I have ahealthy respect for an artist whocan stand all that traveling andcareer pressure."

Baker's closeness to Reeveswas valuable education - but italso almost cost him his life. Aphone call an hour before takeoffprevented Baker from taking aplane trip that eventually lostReeves and his passenger theirlives in July, 1964. "An hour be-fore the flight I got a calf that asong I had pitched to Nick Noblewas being cut, and they asked ifI'd sit in at the session," Bakersaid. "Jim's piano player DeanManuel replaced me and diedwith Jim on the trip. The ironicthing is that was the only flightI didn't take with Jim-I used toalways fly with him."

Baker stayed on and worked forMary Reeves, Jim's widow, forabout a year after Jim's death, byby 1965 he had gone into busi-

ness for himself with Blue CrestMusic (BMI). With the help ofwriter/artist Dallas Frazier, andwriters Whitey Shafer and Doo-dle Owens, and copyrights suchas "There Goes My Everything"and "Elvira," Blue Crest was soonoff and running.

In fact, when Baker sold BlueCrest in 1974 to Acuff -Rose Pub-lications, the company had rackedup an amazing 40 BMI awards inits nine-year existence. Not badfor an operation that began lifeas a one -room office over a fur-niture store in Madison, Tennesee.

As part of his sales agreementBaked stayed on with Acuff -Rosefor five years. In 1979 he againyearned to run an independentbusiness, so he formed Ray BakerProductions, with publishing in-terests Baray (BMI) and Honey -tree (ASCAP). Staff writers nowinclude Judy Bailey, Dan Mitchell,Warren Robb, and Bobby Barker.

A key to Baker's productionsuccess has been Columbia artistMoe Bandy, whom Ray met whenMoe was a sheet metal foremanin Texas in 1973. "Moe knockedon my hotel room door when I

was on a hunting trip in San An-tonio," Ray said. "He asked if I'ddo a session on him. After warn-ing him about the odds, and stat-ing that he'd have to pay for thesession and musicians, I agreed todo it."

The collaboration resulted in "IJust Started Hatin' Cheatin' SongsToday," which Baker said didn'tinterest Nashville label executivesat first. He then pressed the rec-ord on a friend's label', FootprintRecords, and mailed copies toabout 600 DJs he had regularlymailed new product to for Tucka-hoe. "There was immediate re-action. We had a turntable hit,"

"Not only have the two artists'solo albums had a dramatic in-crease in sales, but it now appearsthat the award -winning duo will,hopefully, be considering aonce -a -year duet project, basedupon radio and consumer de-mand."

Word is traveling fast about

Baker's handle on the countrysound: He is negotiating with anational beer company which hasoffered to make Bandy and Stam-pley their national spokesmen.

Not bad for a guy whose firstjob in music was as a DJ on the250 -watt KVOU in Uvalde, Texas."This business has its hassles anddisappointments," Baker said,"but I love every minute of it.You won't find me doing any-thing else."
