N.Y. -Collective licensing of musical works may receive new impetus as a result of the recent Supreme Court ruling that a blanket music license to network television does not constitute a per se violation of antitrust legislation. This view was expressed by Man Hartnick, vice president of the Copyright Society of the L'S -.A" during a workshop seminar at the group's annual convention here last week. It was only one among a number of topics that engaged the attention of more than 100 delegates to a conclave that focused primarily on the experience Iodate and future implications of the 1976 Copyright Act. Attorneys and industry figures also heard the -works for hire" provision of the act described as a "time bomb" whose ultimate effect cannot be calculated at this time. Ambiguities in the language of the law and in the very definition of an employe. it was pointed out. ma) yet throw proprietorship of works for hire copyrights in doubt, particularly in their renewal periods. Richard Dannay. another Society vice president, led the discussion on the works for hire issue, which many felt would be resohtd in many cases only through litigation and the creation of a new body of case law. Jon Baumgarten, general counsel for the Copyright Office, guided the delegates through the maze of current and evolving regulations involving registration and transfer of copyrights. He reported that the backlog of registrations has now been reduced to about 1.5% as against the former 85%. The Copyright Office now fixes the effective date of a registration at the date of application, Baumgarten said, rather than when it is approved, nomally after a time lag of up to three months. This is of significance in the even) of subsequent litigation. By IS HOROWITZ Baumgarten. incidentally. is leaving his post with the Copyright Office June 8 to return to private law practice. In the discussion of the April 17 Supreme Court decision. it was speculated that ASCAP and BM1 might reach some settlement with CBS to avoid continuing litigation in the lower court~ on narrow issues. "Too much money and too much time has already been spent on the case," said one participant. Featured speaker after a Society dinner Monday (211 was Leonard Feist, president of the National Music Publishers Assn., who credited clients rather Than the copyright bar with being the prime movers behind copyright revision. "Behind every landmark decision there stands a stubborn client," he said.

"Revision may have been the golden age of the client," said Feist. At a meeting of the Society's trustees the group devoted considerable attention to its possible invulvemcnt in the choice of a successor to Barbara Ringer, who is expected to retire from her post as Register of the Copyright Office in May The trustees voted to form a committee to explore options open to the Society, but in no event to support a single candidate for the critical position.

Lew Wasserman, board chairman, told stockholders that the sole videodisk production facility is operating seven days per week in order to meet demand. Demand for videodisk players. manufactured by the North American Philips Magnavox division, also is outstripping production, it was learned. "When a budget was initially drawn up for the test markets using logical business sense," Wasserman said, "it was impossible to foresee the kind of demand there is in the marketplace." Wasserman said "large quantitles" of the disks are being sold to customers who do not yet own the players. The videodisk player is plugged into a conventional tv receiver.

10 10 General News - - A &M Hits Jackpot With British Import Acts LOS ANGEI FS t he British Connection. a key factor in A &M's domestic success over the past 10 years, has special significance this week. The label's three highest - charted albums in the US. are all by acts originally discovered and signed by A &M in England. The transatlantic imports are Supertramp's "Breakfast In America," No 1 for the third week in a row, the Police's "Outlandos d' Amour" at number 31 and Joe Jack- son's "Look Sharp" at a soured number 37. Further down the list is another import from the U.K. company: the Tarney /Spencer Band's "Run For Your Life" al number 197 Supertramp's LP is the label's first release to hit number 1 in the U.S. since Peter Frampton's double live breakthrough three years ago. Frampton, of course. onginally came to A &M as a member of Humble Pie, another acqursiuon from the English lirm, as were Joan ROCK TO REEL A 1 -day professional look at exploiting the financial, legal and production aspects of contemporary music through film and video tape.

Rick Wakeman. Stealers Wheel. the Strawhs. Chris DeBurgh and Squeeze (lermerly II.K Squeeze). "It's been a tradition with us going back to Joe Cocker." says label president Gil Friesen of the label's longstanding success at bringing English rock'n'roll across the Atlantic. Cocker was signed in the same year that A &M acquired.o, eral important acts from Chits Blackwell's Island Records: Fair- port Convention (which featured the late Sandy Denny). Free, Spooky Tooth, Jimmy Cliff and Cat Stevens. "We have a very close relationship with our English company," Fnesen adds, "and Derek Green (who heads the London omcel has a terrific ear for talent. Plus 1 think the fact that Jerry (Moss) is such an Anglophile has something to do with it." Supertramp. the Police and Jack- son also typify A &M's long -held practice of building acts from the ground up rather than bidding for high -priced name talent. None of the acts had recorded before they signed with A &M. And they demonstrate the label's expansion to a more youth- onented, high -energy sound, a turnaround from its middle -of-the -road beginnings with Herb Alpert and Sergio Mendes and even a marked change from the mid -'70s when it had rock acts side-by-side in the top 10 with adult contemporary pop acts like the Carpenters and the Captain & Ten - ndie. A &M's campaign to break what A Marriage of Mind ic Music BMA's Founders' Conference, June 8-11, Philadelphia. Friesen calls "that new music out of England" was fueled by the release last December of "No Wave," a la- bel sampler which featured cuts by the Police, Jackson and (U.K.) Squeeze in addition to Ktark Kent the Secret, the Stranglers and the Dickies (the latter act with "You Drive Me Ape (You Big Gorilla)" U.S. tour of 10,000 to 12,000 seat venues. Friesen reports that he will in time name a replacement to the recently departed Dave Hubert as vice president of international, an apparent change of mind from an earlier plan to restructure the department and eliminate that post. At present Jack 'i,c,d photos by Bonnie 'nevi Gil Friesen Savoring A&,M's first No 1 album since an executive shuffle made him president of the label. Fnesen notes that these records "represent not only a new direction in rock'n'roll, but also a different way of handling the business. Those were not real expensive albums. "And I would like to think that the idea of recording that way. which was introduced in England. is going to continue into the 1980s. as opposed to the idea of spending 5300,000 to $400,000 on an album." The breakthrough of Supertramp, which hadn't even made the top 15 with its five previous albums, also follows the A &M pattern of gradually building acts. Just as Super - tramp took six albums to get its first taste of platinum, Quincy Jones last year first hit platinum on his eighth A &M album, Gino Vannelh broke through on his sixth LP. L.T.D. on its fifth and Chuck Mangione and Pablo Cruise on their fourth label packages. The Supertramp marketing campaign has been keyed to a 60 -city Losmann, international marketing director, is overseeing international activity. What pleases Fnesen the mont is that this success with Supertramp and the British imports, as well as the label's recent gold single with The musical matchmaker here, The BLACK MUSIC ASSOCIATION. dedicated to the advancement, enrichment, encouragement, and recd n tien of black music.

PA "England has always been a great source of talent for "Acts like Joe Jackson are swinging the business back to rock'n'roll; they're bringing the fun back." Bell A James and its continuing success with Sins, has come during a changeover of distribution from its independent network to the RCA and A &M and Associated Labels system. Fnesen acknowledges that during the period of transition, the danger of losing records was heightened. "It was upmost in our mind," he says. "and it was certainly on the minds of managers and artists who hadjnusic being released during that period." Friesen lass the credit on the A &M staffand on the new RCA distribution system. "Everyone had to put a lot more into it and they responded beautifully " 6 Hurt In Collapse Of Warehouse Wall NI AV , A Mu by.4 bait soncrete wall collapsed at the Han - dlemun warehouse in Jessup, Md., May 18, injuring six persons. three seriously.

Well, if we don't catch up with ssliat's happening pretty quickly. a lot ul us are going to end up In the same old age homes. li there ever was a time when retailers should take advantage of growth trends In disco music. that time Is now "Saturday Night Fever," a disco album and the largest selling LP in the history of the record business, is two scars behind us. It's been six months suuc"le Freak" hs Chic became the largest selling single in Atlantic Records' history. \Ve'se just seers Rod Stewart experience his biggest seller with the disco record. "Do l'a Think I'm Scss," not to mention what a disco single did for the Rolling Stones and Blondie In a sense. retail's total lack of awareness is really the fault of record manufacturers... specifically the people who run the sales departments and control the marketing and merchandising dollars. There's still a tendency to channel the bon's share of those dollars to white AOR artists, without recognising the growth importance of the disco artist. Retailers need lo see cohesive, tangible marketing programs built wound disco artists These should include discounts. window displays and point of purchase aids. Unfortunately, retailers aren't getting the sort of education and motivation they need, because mosi lop level record executives are still hypnotized by rock'n'roll. Now. look, l grew up on rock'n'rirll just like most of us. I worked for Rolling Stone magaruno. handled records by Jagger and I0cc. and helped manage ass like Renaissance and Al Stewart. But none of us can afford to become fossilized monuments to the '60e and early '70s 4NARM's latest convention missed the boat entirely' Today. when a new rock act with good word-of-mouth in the business sells its first 100,000 albums, the marketing men at the majors gis into a lienzy, churning out punters, mobiles, divider cards and lour suppura plans. But when a disco act sells 100,000 albums, those same m urketng men go into a coma. No wonder retailers sit back and wait for Bisou records to sell themselves. No one at must of the major companies gets excited about disco because no one in a significant position of power really comes from the disco commumts In fact, one record super - conglomerate has been taking people who know nothing about Dear Sir. Ray Caviano: "Slowest to respond are the racklobbers." disco and probably have never been to a discotheque and arbitrarily assigning them to disco promotion and disco artist development. This makes as much sense as it would have in 1956 to hand the marketing of Elvis Presley to a man still dreaming about the return of "Swing And Sway With Sammy Kaye." We need to hire people from the disco community the same way we hired house freaks in the late '60s. Despite these problems, some stores are doing a great job with disco. King Karol and Korvettm in New York are examples; so arc Strawberries in Boston, and Tower Records in Hollywood. Generally speaking, however. the distressing fact is that however many records disco is selling, disco is selling records in spite of itself. The members of the retail community who ve been slowest to respond are the rackjobbers. They're not giving disco a chance unto l it crosses over to Top 40 radio, yet they would be doing themselves a favor if they racked the top five eeeurds on the disco chars. After all, the position on those charts represents a strong. grass roots response in the discos -and many of those discos are in the same shopping centers as the racked outlet:. Disco chart action also reflects airplay on disco stations, and today those stations arc beginning to reach a tremendous number of consumers. The rack customer is tuning into disco music on r &b, disco and Top 40 stations. and is going to the disco for a night's entertainment. He or she will buy disco records. But they can't buy them if they're not in the racks. Disco is no longer a ghetto phenom- `Retail lack of awareness is the fault of the labels' enon- lexica, ti+ pan tit the consctotuness of the American heartland. Take the city of Minneapolis, for example. There's a major disco radio station and clubs all over the city. The Minneapolis Star investigated the local disco scene and found that there were local discos for every social and economic bracket - there were black discos, gay discos. and white middle -class suburban discos. The discos were everywhere. from downtown basements to expensive hotels. That study was done three years ago, and many of the retailers of Minneapolis still haven't gotten behind disco. I'm not preaching that rock is dead. not with acts like Dire Straits going gold or platinum on its first LPs. Nor am I saying that disco's the sole answer to the retailer's dream. But I would advise the people who are expressing concern about the sales slump and heavy returns in the first quaver to take a long look at what's happening in disco today. The selling power of disco has been proven, yet its potential is far from hang realized.

20 20 Rodio-TVPro9i'omming. k Radio Deregulation Imminent, Public Broadcasters Are Told WASHINGTON t. omit... cations Act rewrite authors from both the House and the Senate assured public broadcasters ar the National Public Radio's conference m Washington Tuesday (221 that radio deregulation is hmmmenl while hearings continued on Capitol l)dl with testimony from radio broad - casters and citizens groups. "Well be deregulating radio. There's no question about It.' Sen. Ernest Hollings t D -S C t assured the gathering of NPR affiliates Tuesday Congressman Lionel Van Merlin (D-Calif ) pointed out that the hill would provide 322 million in pro gramming grants for public radio the first year compared to only 59 million presently allocated. Predictable disagreements between radio broadcasters and citizens groups colored Thursday's (17) House hcanngs on radio and the public interest. Dutch Doelitzsch of WDDD -FM Marion. Ill., told the Congressmen that current regucations are so complicated that they By JEAN t `.I I.AFI.. - \,A 111 Ir 1, ti it I often inn...unto LIh, wad, inn r- est. The open market rs the strongest regulator of all." Gannett's Charles Sanford testified. His sentiments were echoed by broadcasters Janies Gabhert. K1Q1 -AM -FM San Francisco, Arnold Lerner. M'LLiJ -AM and WSSII -FM Lowell. Mass.. and Nelson Lavergne. WADO -AM New York Citing recent Federal Communications Commission studies showing that radio stations often program much more news and public affairs than required by the FCC. broadcasters insisted that listeners show approval or disapprusal by switching the dial This market reality works better than any government regulation. said broadcasters. towards ensuing that the public hears what it wants to hear. Complaining that classical music and jau enthusiasts have few stations to listen to and would have fewer if radio were deregulated. WNCN -FM Listeners Guild attorney Kristin Broth Glen argued that Low Ratings Spur Philly's WRCP To Modify Format PHILADELPHIA "We've gone contemporary countn. Were not?standing in a cornfield in Nebraska. We're not even in rural South We're in Top 40 country," explains Dave Echols. music director of WRCP -AM of his modification of...the station's format. Echols is hoping to build up the 50 kw day timer from a dismal standing of hardy being in the Arbaron reports. In the past ix Arbitran books WRCP has failed to show up three lines and has never scored higher than a.4 share. Echols, who also handles the morning drive shift. puts together a ptaylist of "songs which 1 think sound best together. It there's tat much variety of music. if I played Eric Clapton or the Eagles people would complain." He adds. Our music has a light to medium country flavor. Of the top 10 country hits, I'm only playing six Of the top 20 I'm only playing I l the things I don't play are a bit harsh." While Echols may not play all the hits he also makes room to break records, some of these not the most likely adds For example he broke Bobby Day's --Her Wheels Broke Down" on Sleeping Giant. He even did a contest tied -in with this record by having listeners write in to tell what happened when their wheels broke down." Echols has been running several other contests including album give. aways and a "get well' card campaign for Tammy Wynette when she was hospitalized. Echols says his playlist is 10% to 154 crossover, hut that doesn't really concern me. Crossover isn't in ms vocabulary." Echols works for Nelson Hohdell. program director who functions as operations manager for both WRCP and its sister station WSNI -FM. The FM runs beautiful music from the syndicated FM 100 Plan. an unregulated marketplace would create an evermore homogenized broadcast spectrum with fewer and fewer specialized formats serving minority taste, "It is not at all clear the deregulated radio marketplace will even protect the conventional economic interests at stake." said Nicholas Johnson, former FCC commissioner and chairman of the National Citizens Communications Lobby. Recording artists and record companies dented airplay would have fewer remedies, he noted.

Disco Giving Black Radio a Rough Time NEW YORK---Black ras, is being blown away. If you don't have a disco record it's hard to get it played." says Julie Rifkind. president of Spring Records. "And unless it's a disco-oriented record you don't get the volume." adds Roy Rifkind. vice president of Spring. "Millie Jackson used to sell records. Now she won't sell 75,000 unless its disco." Roy Rifkrnd adds that "Ballads don't get the right airplay" and "They're not playing as much blues." Brother Julie laments, "There are no more gospel hours. People are losing their routs" The two executives agree. We have no other choice but to join the movement to disco" The Rifkinds find that disco has helped a number of black artists "cross over" and the music has "resutahzed" the careers of such artists as Peaches and Herb. Edwin Starr and Gene Chandler But black radio Is hang truly changed by the music and the format modifications it is bringing with st Many stations are losing their isentits as formerly black stations are raised tugeiher with formerly,s hue stations under a new disco slissiticatiom. Julie Ruklnd suggests that there is tl white disco and black du... and these subtypes of the music might develop clearer identities. Some observers suggest that WKTU -FM New York is a white disco station. but the station has a large number of black listeners and plays such blackoriented acts as Instant Funk - WBLS-FM New York. the other major disco outlet in New York. comes from a black heritage. The station's call letters once stood for "Black Experience In Sound." but currently stand for World's Best Looking Station." Aside from the fact that the management of WKTU is white and the management at WBLS is black there is a lot of on -air similarity in the stations. Even before WBLS strongly aligned itself with disco it made attempts to put distance between itself and its black identity, This was done to aurae( white ad buys instead of just ethnic adserttsing. For years the station emphasized its 40% white lis - tenership Now with disco fever across the dial. other major black stations are taking on a new Disco identity. Two examples of this are WDAS -FM Philadelphia and KUTE -FM Los Angeles. From Bottom To the Top: Savannah's Top 40 WSGF ti \\ \ V \, \11,,I By IK \ \Is Dung Weldon life at time bottom.

WSGF became a Top 40 station, hut with automation. That was a year ago. "The station was automated since it first went on the air, and when we first went Top 40, we kept the automated format." Weldon states, The station did well with just the automated Top 40 format:" he continues. but 1 think we took it about as far as you could go with automation ' ÌConrinued on vañ' in-

WSGA- AM According to Weldon. the Arts, tron rating proved to be the final push the station needed to go from an automated to live format. "We were satisfied with the ratings." he says. "It looked good enough that in October we made the big investment to go live." He continues You need to he live to compete here in Savannah. There's only so much a machine can do to promote in an hour on the air." Talent was brought in from out of state. as well as from other places in Georgia. A few persons already with the station were switched around The change was readily apparent to the station's listeners. "You can't heat the extra excitement. the extra involvement or the extra promotion you get from a live presentation. In fact, we've now got a much. smoother sounding station. with fewer mistakes and better sounding mixes on the air. Weldon claims. A more practical benefit of the changes is the station now sports a higher profile. "Were the statism people are talking about now." Weldon states. "A couple of years ago, people would say WSGF in a down tone of voice. "Now. it's WSGF. They know our handle. our musical force. that were on the air. And they know what we play. We can also tell just by the phone response when we run a contest. and even when we don't run a contest. the phone still nngs with requests." Weldon planned which of his deejays was going to be on the air at what time with a great deal of care. Our morning show. from 6.10 a.m is handled by C.B. Gaffney. Dr C.B.

And he sounds like it. Big Mac's got a great set of pipes. "Our all nigh) guy is Ron Fredricks. He's got a mellow approach." The station's playlist is 4(1 records long. with the hottest being repeated every 11/2-2 hours. The other disks are repeated every four hours. "We've divided the records according to what audience we think they will appeal to." Weldon states, "and some will. get more play in one time frame than they will another." The playlist is determined by Billboard's Top 40, local research. some national tip sheets and by tabulation of requests from listeners. "We also check record sales of three or four of the big local houses to see what's moving.' he adds. "and into that goes our own evaluation." The playlist is changed every Wednesday and all of the station's DJs stick to the playlist exclusively New records get their first tryout depending on who would like them, "f or instance " Weldon says, "if we Rates: think the record will appeal to adults, we get it on the air between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. For the ones aimed at teens they will probably be played between 7 p.m. and 2 a.m. Then, according to Weldon. the record will be played again depending on the response. One complaint, though a mild one. Weldon has is about record companies. "Many of them don't know we've changed to Top 40 and are still sending us oldies," he says. "We're a 100,000 -watt station and our music policy is fairly liberal. "When it comes to playing a single. we might be more apt to break a record other stations probably wait on " Weldon likes what's happening at WSGF, but is not content to let the stauon rest where it is.

Busy playing jazz dates on the Continent most of the year as well as such diverse locales as India, the 46- year -old musician has written a biography of Miles Davis, several unpublished novels, extensive personal diaries and music and literary criticism. "I'm a diseased writer." he claims. Can agreed to write a biography of jazz great Davis in 1975 after "so many people had asked me what I thought of him and I had written things about him anyway. "I tried to really understand Miles and spent a good portion of time in 1975 in New York researching the project." In its current form. according to By JIM McCULLAUGH Carr. the biography is "too long and needs extensive editing." He expects it to be published in both England and the U.S. before the end of the year. In fact, Carr indicates, he originally began his professional career as a writer after graduating from college in England with a degree to English literature. His professional music career began at 27. Although he formed his Ian Carr Nucleus some 10 years ago. he has yet to tour in the U.S. He has appeared, however, at Newport Jazz Festivals and New York's Village Gate. "I would very much like to tour here," he says. "And perhaps that will happen late this year or early next year." Carr's recent LP on Capitol is "Out Of The Long Dark" and according to the label. it has been pick- ing up jazta)nd ACM the coo The album has been re- serviced to selected AOR stations on that strength. "Out Of The Long Dark," is Care's second LP for the label and his rust studio LP in more than three years. In addition to Carr on trumpet, fugelhorn and electric piano, the LP features Geoff Castle on electric piano and synthesizer, Billy Kristian on bass guitar and Roger Sellers on bass and percussion. 1.1)5 \Nl l.i.fti the gas crunch in Southern California has served to localize club business al (cast for the duration. Clubs which used to draw patrons from a wide range of outlying communities across the Southland are now looking kt those who reside in the intmediate urea for their principal support And club owners are hooking tat - ent with more of an eye to where else in the greater L.A market an act has played or will pia% Thes'rc recognizing- that clubgoers here are becoming conscious that the prise of driving to a show tonight may be spending time in a gas line tomorrow. Even if lines are getting shorter, as seemed to be the case last week, that newly- acquired cautious attitude on the part of motorists will not likely change back to the carefree ways of old overnight. A spokesman for the Rosy claims that there has been no appreciable falloff in business in recent weeks for L.A.'s top showcase club. But other clubs have been affected to varying degrees. David Forest. entertainment director of the Whiskey A Go Go, says that his only problem comes during the week when he books unsigned acts which may also appear in more localized clubs around town. "We've got to be careful." Forest says. "that this is the only greater L.A. date our acts play. People drive up to 60 miles to come here, so if an act appears at a local, neighborhood club w,thin an hour's drive of here, may see less numbers than I'd like to see.' Among the clubs Forest puts in this category are the Golden Bear in Hermosa Beach, Sweetwater and Fleetwood in Redondo Beach. Cuckoo's Nest in Costa Mesa, the Rock Corporation in Van Nuys, Squeeze's in Riverside and the Wood Sound in Monrovia. Doug Weston, owner of the Troubadour, notes that the problem at his club has centered on weekends. when patrons have been unable to its PAM - GB/,1N Eel gas of have conserved it due to limned supplies "We're concentrating on local acts which have in-town draws." he says.

The Troubadour's current focus is on local, unsigned bands. David Knight, director of entertainment at the Starwood, says business at that club has been down 30% to 404 but that it seems to be rebounding. "People are ready to party again," he says. "They're beginning to realize they can't let this get them down" Richard Stacy, manager and booking agent at Sweetwater. a capacity club in Redondo Beach, says his overall gross has been down 10% to 20% and that the weekend gross has been off 40 %. On weekends he books talent from L.A.; on weeknights the emphasis is on acts which draw from a five to six -mile radius of the club. "People will drive down the street but not across town," SWcy says. "Weeknights when you'd expect business to be down we're doing fine. "Local hands arc doing just as well as before, hut we've lost money on some of the L.A. bands. We're in the South Bay. 30 minutes from L.A., but that's just far enough so it's a drive." Pat Senatore. owner of Pasquales, a 90- capacity jazz club in Malibu, says his club suffered through five or six slack weeks when business was off 90%. The showcase faced the dual problems of the gas shortage and closure of the Pacific Coast Highway due to a rock slide. The road reopened Sunday (20) and Senatore says that patronage is on the upswing though he acknowledges it will still take some time for business to return to normal. Nevertheless its recent four -show sellout with John Klemmer ranks as one of the two best nights in the club's history, according to Sena - tore. The Lighthouse, a jazz club in Hermosa Beach, has also been affected by the gas crunch. A caller to the club last week could hear this prerecorded message: "We're sorry to cancel George Cables' engagement Sunday -but we're out of gas. We'll also be closed Monday.

Beach Club Promotion s Big In Southeast HINESVI(_LE, Ga. -For top name musicians and entertainers playing the Southeast in the past 10 years. chances arc probably one in two their shows were promoted by Beach Club Productions. According to its founder and president Cecil Corbett, of Camden, S.C.. Beach Club averages more than 300 shows a year. "Along with our partner. Cellar Door Produc. lions. we promote shows in Virginia. the Carolinas, Georgia. Florida and Alabama," Corbett states. The shows it puts on reads like a list of who's who in the music and entertainment industry. Corbett claims it's easier to name the groups he hasn't prompted. than the ones he has. "We've had them all." he says. "we've had dates on the Rolling Stones, Tom Jones, Kiss, the Village People and just about everybody." Corbett feels there are several reasons for the success of his Beach Club, but that the main one might e just "plain old Southern hospi- He explains. "Once we sign a contract with a group. and we accept that rider, then we don't cut it any kind of way. shape or form. Even if we lose $ on a show. we still give them first class treatment, the same as if we were making or 515,000." "I think it's important that you take care of your smaller groups, even if they're losers. just like you do your winning groups." he continues, "1 think most of the agencies, managers and groups know that about us," he says. "When we sign one. it's first class all the way. or at least we ay." Corbett expresses an understanding of his market. "We're not in a major market and groups really don't have to play down here. But we've built a lot of good relationships eve' the years with people in the entertainment industry." "We'll break acts in when they're small, and when they make it big. they'll come back and play for us." He points out, however. some entertainers like to play the South. "I By FRANK MADISON think groups can make more money here than in other places up north. They can walk with more money because of our buildings, which for a lot of reasons cost less to run. Besides. I think the entertainers like the easy laídback. lifestyle. with no one getting excited." Beach Club's home office in Camden, a small town of about 7,000 population, is 25 miles from Columbia. "It was a compromise:' Corbett says. "1 live in the little town of Bishopville, and everyone else lived in Columbia. We decided to meet halfway." But the location of the home offices is of little importance in the promotion business. Corbett feels. "I spend about 150 days a year traveling with the shows, so as long as you have a telephone, it doesn't matter where you are." A typical Beach Club tour, depending on the act's own preferences, will probably begin in Virginia, either Norfolk or Richmond. There'll then be dates in the Carolinas: Greensboro, Charlotte. Columbia, Clemson and Greenville. "After that," Corbett states, "we'll play Savannah, Jacksonville, Lakeland (Fla.) and Miami. We'll usually play three dates in Florida. unless it's a big group, then we might play four. From there- we might get some Alabama dates." Corbett has a good understanding of the problems facing an act and its managers. "We've worked with all the management groups, William Morris. ICM. ATI. Premier, you name them. We don't deal with any group managers at all, except to go over the different personal things." He explains why: "We deal strictly with the agencies. We feel the group managers are out there working everyday. If a manager's managing, he doesn't have time to do the bookings." Having recently turned 50, Corbett is admittedly older than most in his field. but he doesn't let that stand in his way. "I've got some really trusted people in the organization who could probably take care of the traveling for me. but I enjoy being involved." :_i

30 30 ob Regehr blends a zany sense of humor with a serious businessmen's concern for seeing to it that his company's artists are given the correct launching. Rickie Lee Jones is on Regehr's mind as Billboard's Ed Harrison follows the veteran recordman through the land of hype. laughter and exploitation real ism. This is his report: There's a buzz amidst the Warner Bros Burbank offices and Bob Regehr, the label's vice president of artist development and publicity has helped perpetrate a great deal of it The commotion is over Warner's newest breakout.

Regehr begins raving about Rickie Lee "She's magic A born star." he boasts. Regehr raves on about how marvelous she and her piano accompaniment were and how well "she carries it off." Scott inquires about the sound arrangements for her tour "I don't care it we need triple backup. It's one of those things we lust can't blow." says Regehr, emphasizing the impor tance of this initial gig He settles back into the couch, the excitement still bub bling.

Regehr's calm composure makes tor easy interaction with his staff and others he frequently meets with Staff members feel comfortable enough to address him by his last name. His days usually consist of a series of interactions whether by phone or in person, with managers, agents, artists arid staff. Like most record company executives, his life would be in complete without meetings. Mondays are company meetings with the vice presidents when new singles are played Tuesday and Thursday mornings are reserved for meeting. with label president Mo Ostin and the other vice presidents Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays are "informal" meeting. with Bob Merles, publicity director and Carl Scott. Thursday afternoons are marketing meetings on all new re leases. "We have to talk so people don't go their sundry ways," he explains. Today is no exception. Regehr's first consultation is with El hot Roberts of Lookout Management. who represents Warner acts Neil Young and Devo in addition to Joni Mitchell and oth ers. After a friendly salutation, Roberts hands Regehr a sheet of paper, neatly typed with the expenses incurred tor producing a Devo film which will be incorporated into the group's stage show on its upcoming tour. Regehr, undaunted by the substantial sum, studies it while lighting the latest in a chain of cigarettes. "Could you believe we're talking about money in a business based on greed, Regehr jokes The conversation shifts to the opening of Neil Young's new full length film of his last tour which will open at the Palladium in New York in mid.june The two men detail the opening as Roberts explains that even though it's a movie, it will be advertised in the same manner as a concert. "The kids will get into it and react like it's a live show," ex plains Roberts He tells Regehr that a PG rating was applied for (even though it classifies for a G( so not to turn off ''Neil's crowd" with a too clean G rating. The film coincides with the release of a solo album contain ing nine new songs taken from the film but rerecorded in the studio with overdubs Getting back to Devo. Roberts inquires if Regehr would like 200 white Devo suits for promotion. part of the leftovers from the batch Roberts ordered for the stage show. "They're really sleety and tacky," says Roberts on his best Woody Allenish delivery, complete with hand motions and la col expressions that remind one of a glassless Allen. "We had to order 1,000 of those suckers It was the small est lot I was able to get. And we only need 250 for the show." Regehr and Roberts exchange laughs before he asks how much the suits will cost. "Same price paid for them," says Roberts "What am go t I ing to make money on yew' I'll show you the invoice. The rest we'll give to England tor promotion. They won't go to waste This is show biz." Regehr's laughter is at a pitch as Roberts continues to lob Into him about the colors and quality of the suits "l'm not sell ing you bad shut," says Roberts, the way a teenager defends his drugs on the corner. r Carl Scott returns with news that there's a problem with tickets for Rickie Lee's performance at San Francisco's Board ing House Because Warner Bros purchased 240 seats and other departments have requested additional tickets, general public sealing as scarce "It's defeating to the public," states Regehr "You don't want to be the villan but el you're the performer. you don't want an all- industry audience "You're then sitting with laded people who've seen 8,000 shows. You need the excitement and energy I hate it when the public is aced out." As a possible solution, Regehr suggests that Rickie Lee arrive in San Francisco a day earlier and do an extra show. Tom Rullino. international vice president, bnatly discusses plans for the Devo film aboard. but the discussion shifts to the day's favorite subject- Rickie Lee Jones. Rullino informs of how successful the album is doing in Eu rope. hinting at a possible trek there in early June_ Because of the high priced players in Rickie Lee's band who include Neils Larsen and David Sanborn, Regehr estimates that a European tour would be enormously expensive Due to media excitement. Rullino is eying dates in Holland, Aus' tralla. Japan, Germany. France and England. Best illustrating why Regehr is easy to work with and his good sense of humor is the visit of manager Elliott Abbott (Randy Newman, Kinks. Babys. Ry Cooderl. Abbott enters with a freshly laundered punt dress. "I brought your dress from the cleaner." he says handing Regehr the dress. Regehr breaks up in laughter, thanks him and tells Abbott that he'll wear it that night The dress is hung on the hook behind his office door The manager and executive trade small talk and ekes. Ab butt reports that all is going well and that the Kinks have sold out its summer Universal Amphitheatre dates with the posse' bahty of a few shows being added The Kinks are also moving from England to Los Angeles But as with previous visitors. Rickie Lee is back in the spotlight as Regehr fills Abbott in on her tour and her magne 'ism Regehr's interest then turns to Ry Cooder's new album. which Abbott claims will be more accessible Recorded on the new digital machine at Amigo studios, the album will contain a duet with Chaka than as well as rock, r &b and blues Regehr extinguishes another cigarette into the already lulled ashtray and informs Abort that he's leaving Tuesday tor Washington and then New York for Rickie Lee's concert dates. Regehr is leaving a few days before the shows to check on the sound. Veronica Brice, a vice president and general manager of Warner's new RFC disco label conies by to introduce Regehr to Gino Soaak:, who initiated the label with a smash disco album Regehr and Soccio huddle together and talk about the album There's more laughter, make that hysteria, in store when Regehr mentions the Gilda Radner album she's recording for Warners. Regehr is having a good lime entertaining Abbott with Radner's matenal of how she talks dirty to the animals and the contributions of the -Saturday Night Live" cast and how Gilda does her Palamith amoresslon. The discussion reverts back to more senous l$mess.

Regehr discusses the possibility of putting Newman on videodisk and some of the future music business implications of the videodisk. Regehr notifies his assistant and right hand girl. Kay Gran tham, that he'll be in Carl Scott's office watching the videotape of Rickie Lee Jones, which he feels is the best one ever produced. Its so well done that there's a possibility it might be released theatrically as a short. Scott sets the machine and darkens the office. The tape, containing Rickie Lee performing three cuts, is a concept piece masterfully tailored to capture the image and personna she is trying to project. "I never get tired of it," says Regehr as the film ends. even though he has seen it countless times- "And she's never played a hall bigger than this office. "Everything's a major crapshoot. The film, putting her on 'Saturday Night.' She's never done anything." Regehr. Abbott and Grantham make their way to a French r "Now the Roaches," says Regehr. "Are you in contact with them?" he asks Merlis and Scott. Going over the group's June dates at the Whisky in Los Angeles, Regehr says he doesn't anticipate as big a demand as Rickie Lee. "Good, we're covered there," "I think the Roaches' press clippings should be sent out on direct mailing to locks and retailers immediately," Regehr states. "Print makes for airplay." After a brief discussion on a Candi Stalon promotion tour, Regehr asks Bergman to check with promotion vice presi. 31 dent Russ Thyret for prime cuts being played and to nail down producer Ted Templeman to mix the sound. "How fast can we get this thing out?" he queries Bergman. "By the end of the month. International has to have it," she replies. Before leaving, Bergman and Monk make note of the dress hanging on the door as all of Regehr's visitors have. Regehr takes the kibbdzmg in stride. The final scheduled appointment of the day is with ICM's Tam Ross as a number of Warner acts are getting ready to hit the road. Before getting down to business, Ross gives an update on the New Barbarian tour which ICM is booking. Ross relates about a not in Milwaukee because the Barbarians didn't perform an encore and no special heavyweight guests showed up. ICM is booking Rickie Lee Jones, Marshall Tucker and Thin Lizzy. About Rickie Lee, Regehr tells Ross: "People who think it's hype will find out that it's not. She's magic."

Regehr and manager Elliot Roberts plot out the strategy for the opening of Neil Young's film in New York. restaurant nearby. where Regehr lets fly with countless anec dotes and stories about the road. The one registering the biggest audience responses the one about the limo driver in San Francisco, at a Fleetwood Mac benefit, who drove the car down the Coliseum steps to get Regehr to where he had to be. The driver was new to the fob and didn't think twice about driving down the hundreds of steps to the amazement of the fans observing. In hysterics, Regeher recounts how the same driver later wrapped the car around a tree. Maybe because it's Friday, or maybe it's lust his natural demeanor, but Regehr's playful mood hasn't diminished. He gives the impression that he genuinely enjoys what he's doing. Following lunch, he has a meeting with Merlis and Scott, but before commencing, he studies slides of the recent Warner publicity department meeting in Florida. After viewing all of them, he asks Merlis for a shot of the entire crew. The first order of business is the handling of the Rickie Lee shows. "She wants a half -hour after the show to cool off but she will meet people backstage. What's our rider at the clubs? Will there be food backstage?" asks Regehr Merles and Scott assure him there will be. Yet there is still the ticket problem for Rickie Lee's Boarding House show. "The first thing I'll do is talk her into another show," Regehr tells Scott. "If not, we'll work it out with pro motion." "Maybe we can limit it to one ticket like we did with Dire Straits. People will scream but it's our last alternative." "I told David Allen (Boarding House owner) not to release tickets until I tell him so." says Scott. -Are all those tickets for the first show?" inquires Regehr. Scott tells him that of the 600 maximum tickets, Warner's has 300. "That's ludicrous." Regehr calls for Les Silver, West Coast press director, to see if there's any way for him to reduce his press list. "We have all industry people and no civilians there," he tells him "If worse comes to worse can you do with singles from those 50 or 60 tickets you have?" asks Regehr. Silver agrees to cutback on his list. "If she does another show, everyone gets what they want," he says. Regehr states that the small club tour is aimed at getting that she can tour. ICM's Tom Ross extends an open hand as Regehr joking passes him a few bucks during some moments of levity. Regehr asks about Van Halen. "What's the story on that. Any national magazine's interested?" directing the question to Merlo. "How about Time or Newsweek?" "I doubt we will have it." responds Merlis. "Because of the nature of the music?" asks Regehr. Merlin assures him that something on Van Halen is in the works coming out of New York and centered around the group's Palladium date. Regehr fills Merlis in on a Neil Young film debut, relaying Elliott Roberts' conversation about how the film company will take care of the advertising and press on the film and plans for the premiere in New York. Scott informs Regehr of a 27- minute Leon Russell film being distributed to 250 colleges at no charge and a college tour being put together by college director George Calagna on Couchois. Regehr asks Merlis to have Roger Voudouris' press agent lay off the"tennybopper" angle. Voudouns' single "Get Used To It" has been steadily climbing the chart and Regehr wants to play down the tennybopper image being projected. "I think it would be detrimental at this point." "What else do we have? Are the dates firm on Thin Lazy?" he inquires. Scott notifies him that they are and asks Merlis if he's doing anything with Tin Huey. "There's a slight problem," replies Merlis, "with a college dale." "Those are just filler dates." says Regehr. -Money dates. The Roaches are a priority." Next in the long line of meetings are Jo Bergman, head of the label's video department and Noel Monk. Van Halen's manager to discuss plans for shooting Van Halen live footage. The three mull over potential dates on the tour suitable for filming and with minimal expense. Also needed is someone to mix and run the board. WB artist Roger Voudouris rehearses his new band as producer Michael O'Martian, foreground, and Regehr listen. Regehr and Ross mull over Rickie Lee's European tour as well as Marshall Tucker's first foreign tour. Because Fleet. wood Mac is also doing some European dates in October, Regehr summ zes that it might be beneficial to put Tucker on the bill to make the tour "a great first time break -m." Regehr and Ross also discuss the feasibility of a Doobie Brothers /Marshall Tucker date. "The music is right and I would love to see it." And no venue has been decided upon for Tucker's Los Angeles gig. The band played the Starlight Am. ph theatre last summer but Regehr feels it would be "redun. dant" booking them there again. Ideally he would like to see a Forum show as part of a package with another hot but compatible opening act "Why don't we wait and see what happens with the album," Regehr states. Ross and Regehr chat music the remainder of the time, focusing in on how the Roaches are happening in the Northeast plus Couchois and Sanford & Townshend. Before leaving, the two make plans to meet.m England later this year when Regehr is planning on meeting with Johnny Rotten and Manfred Mann. On the way out Ross admires Regehr's dress. it it it Last stop of the day is at Hollywood Modern Music recording studio where artist Roger Voudouns is rehearsing his new touring band. With the music drowning out the ends of sentences, Regehr and Voudouns' producer Michael O'Martian exchange opin. ions and check on progress The band has only been together a short awhile and already Regehr seems Impressed with the early results. At rehearsal's end, the band calls it a day. So does Regehr.

32 32 Talent PETER PRINCIPLE IN PLAY? New LP Stirs Comeback For Billbsard SPECIAL SURVEY For Week E 5.6 5/20/79 Top Boxoffice Frampton Under Dee Anthony NEW YORK -"Who know maybe 1979 will turn out to he the year of the 'Peter principle." jokes manager Dee Anthons. whose principal client. Peter Frampton, is making a major comeback with a new LP and a new tour, while Peter Allen is opening a one -man show on Broadway. Anthony also is overseeing the career of a third artist. actress /singer Sandy Fanna. who following her film debut m the "Sgt. Pepper" film last summer. has recently signed with Infinits Records. In addition, Anthony manages Warner Bros. artist Gary Wnght. Anthony recently held a conference with A &M execs on marketing the new Frampton LP. "Where 1 Should Be;' which shipped Friday (25). Backed by a new single, "1 Can't Stand It No More." the LP is ship - ping 1.4 million units. with an ad- Iti kt1nia,\ k(it,\k s :u1, c order of 397,0011 unit, from the racks alone, Anthony claims. The 60 -plus date tour. booked bs Premier Talent, will he exclusive!, devoted to indoor dates at senu,s from 5,000 to 19,000 capasits. with Frampton scheduled to play two or more dates in some cities "Peter has done the big outdoor shows. and now he'd rather do two shows in one town. so he can get closer to his audience. In big stadiums you often just look like a speck to the audience," says Anthony. Anthony adds that last year's surfeit of outdoor shows may have proved counterproductive to many acts. However. he would not mind if Frampton plays the not yet totally set Woodstock II festival. He notes that Orion Pictures. which will film Woodstock 11, also has a deal with him for a Frampton movie set for next year.

Burbank Burbank, CA (213) "Peter ccrtandi aa on force in the music nl the 1970s and if Woodstock 11 is supposed to sum up what has happened musically in those years then it would seem necessary that he he included in Woodstock," Anthony says. "Where I Should Be." the new LP. is a rock'n'roll album, Anthony notes. which also reflects Frampton's new maturity Hollowing a difficult period when he faced pressures to follow up on the success of "Frampton Comes Alive," and the to live down the rather embarrassing showing of the "Sgt Pepper" film. In addition Frampton was hurt in an auto accident and then underwent a much publicized separation from his one -time girlfnend. "It was difficult for him to lead a normal life for a while." says Anthony. "but now he has had a little time to think. He is healthy now, and he wants to go out on the road. Nobody is a threat to him. He is his only competition." The court battle that erupted over who should have top billing in the "Sgt. Pepper" film has still not been totally settled, but Anthony says he bears no grudges against Robert Stigwood, RSO or the Bee Gees. "There are no scars on me," continues Anthony. "But there are scars on Peter. What was the biggest problem is that in my relationship with R1j ilienls, w'itos I give my worst it is my bond. But on the film. when it was the property of someone else, sometimes I would tell Peter one thing and then it would he changed. But on the next film 1 will be the producer, and there won't he any of these problems." For Peter Allen's Broadway show at the Biltmore Theatre which opened Wednesday (231, Anthons says he has invested more than $170,00(1. He says he can "see daylight" if the show runs more than five weeks at the 970 -seat theatre. But Anthony says. he isn't doing it for the money. "As a manager it behooves me to produce a vehicle that would put a focus on Allen, so the audience, the DJs, television and the media become aware of him," he explains.

Under the auspices of Associated Students of Arizona State limit, brochures. posters, tapes. sandwich hoards and slick playbills are being distributed on the campus and in the bordering community to publicize the appearances of big name groups. The students themselves are dicing much of the promotional work through a graphics department upcrated M the student government_ Student leaden are planning to expand the service and make it available to outside promoters who may not he using campus facilities to stage their acts by neat semester. "Thu kind of thing heightens the response to our own shows," explains Neil Davis. the organization's conccn coordinator. "We're trying to make things as professional as possible so that when a promoter comes to us the show will go well. We're trying to lend professionalism to the university.euing." The promotional services are also designed to give students direct professional exponence. "We're trying to develop a talent in people thatcan be used when Ihes graduate:' says Davis. "It's not just something for them to use while they're in college." About two dozen students are involved in vanous stages of the promotional effort. At the heart of the new program is an eight -page souvenir concert playbill produced by the students and subsidized by advertising revenue. Many local boutiques. hair stylists. radio stations, record sores and theatres advertise in the program which is distributed free to concertgoers. Programs were published for the appearances of major artists like Boh Dylan, Billy Joel and Ves. The publication conoarns btographreai information about the specific artist as well as pictures and a descriptor listing of released alhums M the performer.

Davis c-stimatcs an entire promotional campaign could be set into motion for an approximate cost of One fact that could blunt the success of the ambitious program is the constant work load of the student graphies service. which grants priority to campus projects. Davis and others involved on the program arc attcmpoing to rcxruit freshman and sophomore students to work on the sanous projects. -Many people are afraid to deal with the university because they feel they will establish relations with someone and he'll be gone.' admits Davis. "We're looking long range. Recruiting lower classmcn should alleviate many of the fears. he contends. since some sort of conunum from year to year will be established. The students' sophisticated at- tempts to fill the needs of agents and promoters follows the dramatic growth of the student government concert program. Concen profits have quadrupled in the last Sear and more than one dozen top performers have been booked into campus facilities. The Moods Blues and the All- man Brothers- Band have been scheduled for May appearances. Under an agreement negotiated with admmntraton earlier this year. the student government receives 60`i of the profits realized from each concert- and also has a say into what acts are brought to the university. Student leaders thus year also discussed using concert profits toestablish a reserve cash fund that can be used, at some point to have the university community promote its own shows without the aid of outside agencies like Concerts West. Wolf and Rit-smiller and Beaver Productions. Haying students actively involved in promotional services is also seen as a way to lacohtale independence from outside agencies.

Texas / permit dancing to recorded music in alcohol -serving esiabhshmenls is resulting in an unprecedented boom in the disco business here. According to Gary Hayes, director of the Mid -Canada Record Pool, in the year since it has become legal to serve liquor in establishments where dancing to recorded music is offered, there has been a disco explosion in Manitoba. The province now hosts a growing number of discotheques, in the forefront of which are such rooms as Station 3, Bogart's and the Stage Door (Billboard, March 10, which offers a mix of live and recorded music. The Manitoba government began dismantling the old liquor laws - dating back to the early 1900s-in the spring of "At that time," states Hayes. "the rules were changed for all areas except Winnipeg and Brandon." Following the repeal, Manitoba got its first liquor- serving disco last summer. The room, the Dance Factory in the Gordon Hotel in Portage La Prairie, was an immediate suc- cess, drawing its audience from as far away as Winnipeg, according to Hayes. By September of last year the laws had been further modified to include Winnipeg, and with that modification came the current boom. However, the law remains structured in favor of live entertainment, and as Hayes points out cocktail lounges and cabarets desirous of incorporating a disco format must continue to intersperse their programs with live entertainment On the other hand, local pubs or licensed beverage rooms, can offer all recorded disco sounds. Restaurants may also offer disco entertainment provided their food and liquor receipts keep pace with each other. A number of establishments are reportedly getting around this by insutuung a door charge and using the receipts to help eliminate any discrepancies which may appear between their liquor and food grosses. Hayes explains that under the regulations. Station 3 became Winnipeg's first alcohol -serving room with a permanent light and sound installation and Continuous recorded disco music provided by a full -time deejay. The room. in Use Golden Oak Motor Hotel, is open from 9 p.m. to I a.m. six nights a week. There is no cover charge. The city's favorite, according to Hayes, is Bogart's with a cover charge which covers a choice of ribs or shrimp. Full course meals also are served. The room operates seven nights a week from 8:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. NEW REFLECTIONS $80,000 Sound And Light System Key Mich.

The room, built from the ground up at a cost of more than S250,I00 by Roman Halinski, also is unique in that its sound and light system was designed and installed by Randy Shafer, who also is its deejay Shafer, who expresses surprise that Halinski did not even flinch when lie was informed that the sound and light system would cost shout 580,000 -a figure unheard of in the Detroit area, according to Shafer-claims that his is the largest and most advanced system ever to be installed in a club in the arca.

An advantage Brahms daims to have over other discotheques is "quality food" because of the adjoining restaurant Deborah Miller. merchandising manager for intimate apparel at Amencan Enka, recently had a show at a discotheque "to generate a little hit more excitement --lo gives you a more upbeat feeling," she declares. Ellen Hank. who runs a model agency specializing in shows. says she supplied "three quarters- of the models used at the Supon and Mackie shows and gets an Increasing number of requests for models in discos.

Nina Rica at Xenon. and the American Fur Industry at Roseland.

43 RECORDING STUDIOS A BILLBOARD SPOTLIGHT Copyrighted material

45 STIFF COMPETITION MARKS U.K. SCENE By NICK ROBERTSHAW Ten or tuteen years ago. the studio business in the U.K was a license to print money. Now. it's a very hard, competitive field. The sentiments are those of Dag Feltner, managing di rector of MCI U K Representing one of the world's leading suppliers of studio equipment. Feltner is well placed to fudge and his views are echoed by studio managers both in London and around the country: in the future, they say. it is the good studios. those offering the best sound, the most complete service, that will stay busy. The case should not be overstated. The studio industry here is still buoyant. as befits one of the major world recording cen ters, and barring some improbable downturn in record pro duction it is likely to remain so. But there have been developments in recent years that present a challenge to everyone involved. A common scenario. for example. has a studio work ing successfully with a new band to create a commercial sound. The band breaks and immediately finds itself forced by the punitive U.K. tax situation to go into virtual exile. living and, more important. recording abroad, most frequently in America. There is another. newer development that also has the of feet of draining off business, namely the tendency of wealthy artists and producers nowadays to build their own private stu dios. They may not use such a studio for actually recording al bums, but they do for the timeconsuming experimentation that comes before At one time. Feltner observes, bands paid $80 an hour to sit in a studio and think; now they do it at home. Again there are tax advantages. as well as creative ones. in such a course. not to mention prestige. but demo and small independent studios cannot be expected to see it in the same light. As yet, few of these artist studios have opened their doors commercially: one of the exceptions is the now well es tablished Strawberry Studio set up by 10cc in Stockport, with a companion. Strawberry South. opened more recently in the South of England. There have been strong rumors that Paul McCartney intended building his own version of EMI's famous Abbey Road to overcome problems of access to studio time there. but these are denied by his company MPI. Rural locations have become increasingly popular. offering surroundings more conducive to creative work than the hurly. burly of London Often these studios can offer rates way be low those in the capital Rod McQueen's Highland Studios in Inverness charges around $70 hourly against typical London prices of $100 plus for 24.track Rockfield in South Wales. set up in the mid sixties as one of the very first country studios in Europe. has been busy ever since. attracting bands from America. Canada. Europe and Britain itself Weekly rates for 24-track facilities and accommodation go from around $6.000 Virgin's Manor studio in the Oxfordshire countryside is per haps the best known of all out-of -town sites. but its signifi cant that it has now been complemented by an in town stu dio. the Townhouse Both are formidably well equipped. the Townhouse took delivery last year of the first 32 track Telefunken machine in Britain. Now Virgin head Richard Branson plans an even more ambitious complex of three villages and two studios on one of the Virgin Islands, to be completed by mid The exotic site is in keeping with Virgin's stylish im age, but reflects also the tax attractions of offshore islands. Other projects have been mooted for the Bahamas and the Channel Islands by British companies The number of U K. studios in operation is increasing all the time. Major new names include the 24.track Amazon Studio in Liverpool, Merseyside's first major facility, Marcus Music's complex in Kensington, London. set up by the Scandina vian company with 48 track recording. computer mixdown and an enormous orchestra studio, the Eastlake designed Red Bus Studios. also in London. But the record business has expanded too. and there is no suggestion studio growth has done more than keep pace Cer tainly the major studios all report heavy bookings and good business. There is, though, considerable pressure to stay ahead of the game. Rightly or wrongly artists and manage ment are attracted by specifications offering the newest "toys," the most tracks, and the seventies has been a period of exptos there igchnology. As a result. constant need to update, to re.beuip, even to totally Britain's first computer aided mixdown desk at Advision. Main studio at Advision, London Nick Robertshaw is a freelance oriter in London and a frequent contnbutor to Billboard rebuild, at costs running sometimes into hun dreds of thousands of dollars. and increasing all the time as equipment becomes ever more soph sticated Fortunately for the studios. which may take as long as two years to amortize these costs. there is a good second hand market for hardware of all kinds, and with the help of infla lion some operators have sold equipment from which they have had several years' use for more than they originally paid. State of the art technology focusses on 32- track recorders and autotock systems giving 46 tracks or more. with computer aided mixdown becoming almost the norm Digital recording is regarded by most studio managers as being still some years away At Advision. Roger Cameron says "The problem of standardization is going to slow down its advent. particularly since recording has become much more international these days. with tapes recorded in America being mixed in the U K. and so on " MCI's Feltner takes a similar view "We don't think digital multi track will happen for an awful long time There is the editing problem. and there is the problem that you cannot have vari speed, on which people are very dependent Very often they tune their tape machines to the piano. There are so called harmonizers, but they are not satisfactory as yet. "So we think digital mastering in stereo will be where it happens first. so that companies can build up libraries of digital masters, and produce identical masters without deterioration. Then perhaps analogdigital converters. though the cost will be prohibitive for most studios. Yet another problem is that there are no tape heads available today that are both Woo/mired nn 'Mgr ES-2111

46 icltlttll_:tf 'SMALL IOS PROLIFERATE IN FRANCE By HENRY KAHN Twenty years ago. there were only five studios in Paris Now there are 75 The numerical developments are due to musical expansion in various fields but many of the newer ones are significant in terms of anything but parochial action The top level action is creamed oft by a handful of major units operated by record companies. Pathe. Polygram. Bar clay. Vogue or Sofrason Additionally there area few well o equipped independents Then come the various installations of eight to 24 track ñ equipment, with many disappearing almost overnight, only to v reappear in a new guise. or under new management. later on h Many of these were started by musicians in basement preen ices hoping to make reasonable quality recordings of their B own work, then renting them out to other musicians w This kind of quicksand activity positively harmed the 'seri ous" establishments on which much money had been spent Today. record company studios are used 40 50`x. for recording other label material. and the cost runs between $80 and $180 per hour Gerhard Lehner, of Barclay, says -Today. large studios are not really needed Some 20 years ago, Raymond Letevre needed a place for 50 musicians. but that kind of demand to day is very rare Maybe space was needed for that kind of or chestra for Jacques Brel's last recordings. but more usual to day is a room to take under 10. -This means that small studios it reasonably equipped. and with reasonable overhead charges. can ask for as little as $40 an hour " Smaller studios in France have reasonable equipment though only a few use automatic mixing on a regular basis and so far no studio is using computerized digital recording because there lust isn't the equipment available A feeling among French companies is that it digital practice is to be more widely accepted, then an international code has to be set up The record companies operate in a different way to the in cc 4 o m J T w z Henry Kahn,s B,Iiboard's correspondent,n France dependent, the former hive not been set up in Fruncc to create profit centers, but simply to serve the company which owns the premises If an outsider hires a studio in this cate gory for a month or so, and then the owner company suddenly needs the space, then there are problems For this rea son, studio hire contracts in France seem to have an abundance of small print regulations Since Polygram now has a strong financial interest in Bar clay, it seems likely that the two studios involved will work closely together, particularly as Barclay has more space At present they continue working separately The latest independent studio. Aphex. is run by Georges Blumenfeld and is part of a strongly international setup. Says Blemenfeld "We've invested some $ Now we work for record companies without studios. such as CBS or RCA. and we record film music when needed We feel we have tot lowed the right lines to offer comfort, equipment and the right atmosphere so that we can look to a financially viable open ahon." As with most major studios in France. Aphex has a technical maintenance laboratory and in this way also unearths techni cal developments to improve performances But this is true of many other French studios today For example, Polygram uses synchronized tape records so that the full 24 track effects can be used when maybe 23 have been actually recorded Andy Scott of Aquarium. sound engineer, uses automatic mixing regularly He believes that many artists prefer the at mosphere, comfort and welcome which can be given at the independent studios Today. he says, many acts choose their studios by preferring small well -equipped -houses' to the large, cold, places owned by the bigger disk companies This trend clearly helps the financial benefits of the smaller stu dios. At one time, there is no doubt that French studios were much favored by foreign artists, according to Gerhard Lehner. of Barclay It was a clearly discernible trend, a "fashion" more than anything else "We used to have a lot of Americans and Italians, but not so much now," he says Aquarium still has some foreign artists and Parr e varconi, with the most modern studio in Paris. still has s-- notably 7 O - ç7_-?71 -,,., z: \,r n _ 1F Uryt.f 11s +: _ ' _ : 1 J,c auo /a..m _ 1 ty'ti!

Lake and Palmer But there is a view now that some artists come back to French studios surely for the dreaded "lax reasons.' While the small independents seem to hold sway in France, the "gadgets'- employed by the big record company studios pull a few major artists. Again, in the matter of technical breakdowns. the bigger studios can cope immediately, Often a breakdown means the end of activity in a small studio. per haps for several days Only one French studio has recorded direct-to-disk That is Barclay, which introduced stereo. transistorized recording and 16 track techniques into France. made the first in this field It is a success for the Black And Blue label But a more general view is that direct to disk is viable only for classical music and lazy Only top-class musicians can be recorded in this way, otherwise the system can prove very wasteful As for mobile studios. Pathe and a few others set up studios in the provinces when necessary, where there are no truck -in stalled studios. payout has One truck, charging around $1.000 a day. but few believe this kind of recording gives sat isfactory results.

50 Der LRMA' TECHNICAL ADVANCES DRAW INTERNATIONAL CLIENTELE By WOLFGANG SPAHR Some of the leading West German recording studios have spinoff interests leading into record production or music pub lishing in order to provide the necessary finances to keep up with the constant demands for new equipment 'c So says Dieter Dierks. who runs Dierks Studios in Slomrn mein, near Cologne He builds on the point "If you want to Ñstay in business. then you have to keep up to date with the o very latest trends But that ambition creates its own prob lems. "Technical matters develop so fast that you stand little w chance ot re financing all the changes needed it you rely on a ordinary studio hire rates The question of a bigger desk, tor instance. is difficult You buy a new one and. almost before it is paid for, its technically out of date t hat's why we have to get into different areas of the business. production or music publishing being the biggest In tact. the Dierks Studio has the only 32-track mobile studio in Europe. and it has been used by many national and in. ternational artists. Says Dierks "There really is a growing trend towards live recordings They provide a special sort of kick for the consumer and the turnover is constantly building. This is one ot the main development areas for the future " And this view is shared by Helga Dickmann, manager of Musicland Studio in Munich, another leading German recording center She says. "There is no doubting that the technical side is becoming more advanced in Germany and generally it lot lows the standards set in other parts of the world But ter rawly I'd go along with the belie) that mobile studios are both recommended and in demand for live recordings." Dickmann claims that the Musicland Studio is cheaper in hire rates than most but adds insistently "With its high tech nical standards. we can compete on even terms with the top 4 studios in the U.S and UK" mand Dierks affirmed 'l honestly do believe the most impor nl rant German studios are at least as well equipped as those in m Oi rn Dierks Stu dios n 1 St ammeln, near Cologne.

And it is a tact of life that more and more international artists are doing their new productions in German studios It all points to the tact that the German scene in record studio terms is now accepted at international level. This is gratifying and a reward for a great deal of am bilious effort " But Dierks feels that some international developments are as yet, out of reach of most German studios. particularly in the digital recording field He says "Really the whole tech nique in the digital area is in the experimental stage and, for German companies. rather too expensive for us to be able to make predictions about its future "However I have the feeling that it will become the basic technology for the future and will force all conventional mix ing and recording desks out of the studios "But where computerized mixing desks are concerned, I Wollgang Spahr.s &llboard s correspondent.n Germany Tka nia.oc nnac.arinn Europe, ka nnl c,A c4 rnnkila think one in two German studios already have one.

Most certainly the arrival of so many international artists in our studios has led to a tremendously valuable exchange of knowledge -Those artists have different requirements. different styles of music. and their demands mean that German studios have had to become completely competitive in order to survive."

Right now there must be around 10 recording studios in Italy which meet the most exacting international standards However fees in Italy are generally lower than in other coun tries and more care is given to every last detail of the recording process The most advanced equipment is now used here. made up of the best components available from around the world and selected on the basis of reliability and durability. and though new trends like digital and direct -to-disk recording have not properly been taken in yet by Italian technicians, the appeal of Italian recording studios for foreign artists is clearly on the rise And the sheer beauty of the environment of many of the 4 studios is an important added factor mstone Castle Studios. headquartered al Carimate. a country J village 14 miles outside Milan, is a perfect example The ri;i.urding Lumpier, has Lem Ludt inside a lascinoling Rona, same castle surrounded by a wade forest Two studios are currently in use lull time. and a third n to be added Explains Antonio Casetta. general manager "There is a small theater in the castle, with great acoustical qualities, and we have built a control room backstage.

Ezio de Rosa, Stone Castle recording engineer, says he is looking forward to mixing computerization "This is the ob vious next step for us. as for other major studios in Italy We see digital recording as being something very much in the experimental stage still. Once a 1 mal standard is reached, we'll be interested in a compatible machine But for now we feel it is too early for involvement "But one thing we have achieved here is control over equal izahon.

64 wiss QUALITY UP: PRICES DOWN By PIERRE HAESLER The clear cut recording studio trend in Switzerland is to 24 track recording. partly with assisted corn puterized mixdown Direct to disk recording is not re garded here as being in the highest level of quality, due to a certain lack of musical as well as technical value And Swiss technicians feel it is too O1 early to go deep into the digital g recording field as "there is no stand c ardization as yet the recorders are S still imperfect and the product is too á highly priced." A general feeling here is that the w real profit center of digital recording will lie in digitalizing the whole record ing chain up to digital disk, which Philips claims will be available in a couple of years. There is little mobile studio work in Switzerland. though the Phonag Stu dio. with Hellmuth Kilbe as manager. has worked regularly on classical mu sic projects in this field in foreign ter ntones Again in general terms, there is an overall lowering of studio rental prices in Switzerland so that in many cases 24 track recording is less expensive than the 16 track recordings of a year ago. Phonag pulls in a fair quota of foreign singers and musi cians to use its facilities. most of them in the classical field Regular visitors are Leonard Bernstein. Pierre Boulez. Lorin Maazel. Renata Scotto. Kin to Kanawara, Philippe Huttenlo Cher and Isaac Stern a 0 I Pierre Haesier Billboard's corres0ondeni in Switzerland One other studio which, because of its atmosphere and ex cellent facilities. attracts key personalities from the "outside" world of musics Mountain, sited in Montreux and a very busy center indeed Basically Switzerland has a population of six million and is divided into three main areas, each bordering on the country of its mother tongue. that is Germany, Italy and France. Each area receives its own television and radio programs as well as those of neighboring areas. Today most of the major international record companies are based in or around Zurich and though there is much cornpetition at least 10 major studios survive. and four are 24- track Powerplay and Sinus are computerized Powerplay is situated on Lake Zurich just outside the town itself and overlooking the Glarus mountains. It started out some three years ago as a 16 track outfit. sharing the bulk of the strong Swiss folklore market with three other 16-truck sty dios in the area Now it has a fair share of the domestic name acts and welcomes foreign producers. Michael Urbaniak did three albums at Powerplay for international release. Powerplay updated to 24 -track computerized with MCI equipment in October last year Tom Hidley. of Eastlake Au dio. helped out with suggestions for control room improve merits. It has all added up to a positive effect on the studio's domestic tforeign client balance and Jim Duncombe. managing director. says- "We're finding that existing domestic producers are setting their sights higher and getting the kind of financial advances necessary to work at international levels." This trend also applies to Sinus studios in Berne But Duncombe says "A problem in Switzerland is the shortage of capable session drummers and bass players There was the same problem in Munich. West Germany, until they started importing British and American musicians whose talent and experience rubbed off on the local musicians Some of James Last's brass players are with the Zurich Radio Band and the Basle string players. mainly Hungarians and Czechs, are as good as any in Europe." The Mountain studio is the only Eastlake designed room. It was until recently the only studio in Switzerland to offer the technical standards demanded by the big names. Now there are four at least. Duncombe says- "As is also the case in the U.K and Ger many, more and more attention is being paid here to acoustic design Powerplay will move at the end of the year to a purpose-built Eastlake Audio studio complex in Zurich.

66 vu SCH STUDIOS OFFER ATMOSPHERE AS A PLUS By MICHEL VERSTREPEN and PAUL VAN DEUREN The number of quality recording studios in Holland is large, and increasing consistently. While there is little to choose between equipment and finished-product quality in the leading venues. there is a great deal of difference in the rental fees payable But common to most of the Dutch studios is the close atlen lion paid to atmosphere In virtually all of them. room is let for a well stocked bar or a comfortable lounge so that the art ists and musicians involved can get away from the pressured p atmosphere of the studio itself á With level pegging technical advantages available. choice of ñ a studio is very much down to a producer's personal taste But vi at this time only two studios here. Dureco from Weesp and tti- Johnny Hoes' center in Weed, are equipped with a comput enzed mixing system Arid in virtually every studio there is a sophisticated selec lion of musical instruments available, included generally in the basic rental So the basic variation in what is now a uniformly efficient Dutch recording studio setup is in prices. For example. the hourly price of 24 track facilities range from $70 to $120 Then 16 -track usage costs from $60 to $90 per hour and so on down to a fee of maybe $20 an hour for demo disk cutting or ordinary two track facilities. In Holland, a substantial discount is offered for "quantity' bookings. but to the quoted fees there is Value Added Tax and tape cosfings to be added. But the unusual price differences here are probably stimulated by the sheer weight of compete tion in so many areas, such as demonstration disks. publicity slots.

67 DIGITAL A FACT OF LIFE CZECHOSLOVAKIA By LUBOMIR DORUZKA Digital recording is already a practical fact of life in Czechoslovakia and the local Supraphon company was the first on the European continent to use the system. back in June So claims Michal Kulhan. head of the Supraphon recording studios. He is also a member of the Digital Standards Corn. mittee of the Audio Engineering Society and so in a privileged position when it comes to learning worldwide developments in the digital field. Harking back to mid 1975, he recalls: "Portable equip. ment was brought to Prague and then to a church in Lucany, used as a recording studio in those days, by our partners Nip I Lubomrr Donaka Bdltraard's correspondent m Czechoslovaku I MOO Japan.,nice Japanese then. tech lens have come In Prague every year, bringing new gene,- Means of equipment and A/O converters But for the first recording, we used a special method by dividing the output from the console and leading one line into PCM and another into a normal A 80 Studer 4 track set. This meant that these recordings could be used as digital disks in Japan but in Czechoslovakia. and for Anola generally, we could release Them as normal stereo or quadraphonic recordings. We realized we could hardly develop our own equipment but we could see the prospect of close links with our Japanese colleagues who are so lar ahead in this direction As far as we know, the standardization of different Japanese digital recordings should be reached by summer this year. and that looks like another important step " Supraphon studios here are known best for the classical IN recordings,ind the acousti cat qualities, including the special reverberation, of the House of Artists concert hall Says Kulhan: "But when using digital recording tech niques, we lace the problem of losing that special reverberation. Now this is a general problem concerning every company which is proud of the special acoustic image of its studio or concert hall. So. with our various European partners, we are trying to instigate research leading to the creation of a code matrix which could, in digital recording, imitate artificial reverberations typical of different concert halls The House of Artists concert hall is lust one of several Prague studios. Usually used for concerts of the Czech Phil. harmonic Orchestra, it has a Neva console with 24 inputs, g eight outputs. 16 monitor tracks and four -channel artificial g r,w,rheration A smaller studio.

Qualiton, has won many international awards The new installations include new Western manufactured technical devices like the U.S MCI -type 500 computerized mixing table with 28 inputs. two Studer two inch 16 track and two Studer quarterinch 2 -track tape recorders.

And that is true not only of the disco scene." Both Dickmann and Dierks have reservations about the fu. ture of the direct-to-disk recording field. Dickmann says it is a development worth considering from a positive standpoint. but adds: -Certainly it gives an improvement in quality But the one big problem is that a great deal of technical effort rs needed. compared with a relatively small demand." And Dierks says. "Certainly there are many advantages in direct -to -disk, compared with multitrack recordings. and in technical matters there is only the slightest chance of Chang. '+ ing an original sound and damaging the effect. But have to I say that I don't believe it will really pay its way and therefore I am not considering such equipment for my studios " Swiss Quality Continued from page LS -)8 next generation of studio musicians. Basically these studios are being used by composers and amateur groups. Clients still come to the 16 and 24.track studios for serious demos. hoping of course to keep some tracks as finals. "As far as direct.to.disk recording is concerned. I can't see it happening anywhere except Montreux And as soon as PCM digital is technically mature and commercially viable. we'll make the change at Powerplay. can imagine this happening I in maybe three years. "On the question of automation, this is a query which quite honestly can hardly be posed today. All major hardware manufacturers are offering 'Inline' monitor boards and 'Auto' op. lions at competitive prices. It would surely be financial suicide for any new 24.track studio not to offer automation facilities in Switzerland." In rate terms, 24 -track facilities are on hire in Switzerland for an average of $85 an hour. That would lead to maybe $750 for a 10.hour day, with block bookings open to negotiation B '.boc d Cledmr Editor. Ear Pa 5., Scorie EdilortM Planting era i`owdnaiion Mike Hennessey European :1ector.

Supraphon uses two units of portable equipment which can. if necessary. be combined to form a big 24-input unit. In fact, the latter is often used because the full capacity of Prague studios is generally taken up and there are sufficient acoustically correct halls around the country. So operatic recordings are very often produced at Brno. where there is usually time and space during the periods when the Prague studios are fully booked. Says Kulhan -We do both custom recordings and co pro ductions. Recently we have recorded for Decca. HMV, Nippon Columbia. Arcola, Electrola. EMI and others. They usually use Czech artists but sometimes bring in foreign guest conduc tors and soloists. Among those who have visited us are Charles Mackeras. Gaetano Delogu. Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, Oskar Danon. Ulf Berlin and Serge Baudo On the popular music side. Supraphon studios are often used for brass band recordings produced by companies from German.speaking territories. or for recordings of film and television music The music to "Maya The Bee." for instance. was produced there. Although the OPUS studios in Bratislava and Pezinok are still concentrating above all on local productions. there is a new trend towards involvement in coproduction. At Pezinok, Hungarian pop singer Judith Szucz has recently completed an album sung in Hungarian and English. while in Bratislava (at Reduta Halt. the concert center of Slovak Philharmonic Or. chestra), Swiss technicians recorded an LPof Johann T Trduss waltzes. performed by the Slovak Radio Orchestra ;[A1 Hungary Concentrates ComJmled from page E.S21 record company also makes recordings of oratorios and It turgical vocal works in various Hungarian churches and cathe drals and these studios,' rented from church authorities, are also used for various forms of symphonic music For organ works. a newly-built instrument from the German Democratic Republic is used, recently installed In the music school of Vac. a small town some 20 miles north of Budapest. For outside or location recordings. the Hungarian Record Co has mobile equipment with a Studer mixing console. In the studio is a new Steinway grand concert piano and two 'B type Steinways, with a Hammond organ.

Among the panelists were John Mason of Mason & Sloan. an attorney firm based in Los Angeles that represents such acts as Olivia Newton -John, the Scotti Brothers. Crystal Gayle. Abba and Kenny Rogers; Walter Hofer, owner and director of the Copyright Service Bureau. Ltd. of New York; Jud Philhps, Southeastern director of Phonogram /Mercury, and Rick Hall, producer and owner of Fame Studio in Muscle Shoals who has worked with Mac Davis, Wild Cherry. the Osmonds and Dobte Gray. Others included Rupert Perry, vice president and head of a &r for Capitol Records, Los Angeles. Marshall Sehorn, a pioneer in r &b and promotion who now co -owns a studio with Allen Toussaint; Bill Lowery, president of the Lowery Group of Atlanta, and one of the first producers to experiment with Muscle Shoals; Ron Haftletne, producer of Dr. Hook; and moderator Terry Woodford, writer, producer and publisher from Muscle Shoals. Hall opened the comments with a view of things becoming tougher for the independent producer unless he has more going than producing. "If you have what you believe is a hit artist with a hit record, and one of the major labels doesn't agree with you. you either eat the record or shelve it Without the independent record distributors to make it competitive for the majors, you've really got no place to go. And without a label deal or independent distributors. I think were going to see the independent producer becoming extinct, except for maybe 10 top producers in the country." 5 P. FOR SURE L -/ $ -v\ng- -TR' 1 In light of Hall's remarks. Hofer acknowledged that there is a development of independent labels again. but they're coming out of a different concept In my mind. the oncstops are a natural for distribution. and this will start opening the cycle. The one -stops can offer maneuverability. and conglomerates can't" In defense of the conglomerate situation. Mason cited that it afforded more people the opportunity to get into the record business with the choice to be distributed by the majors. "There are more places to go and more financial security. And I have found that the distribution of product is more efficient than ever, proving the conglomerates to be beneficial." Haflkine pointed to a disadvantage in the conglomerate situation. noting that if a producer was to have a "run -in" with a department bead. product could get killed. Haflkine also noted the drastic changes in music in the last six months by saying, "There are no handles. so the doors are open to new forms of music' "I don't think there is a lessening of opportunities for independent producers." noted Percy. "I think if any of the doors are shutting in producer's faces, it's possibly due to them not keeping up- to-date with what is happening in the marketplace. Phillips' noted that is a dawning for independent producers. "If you understand the mechanics of the companies, there is more information and communication than ever before in the business.

79 Nobody goes to greater lengths to bring you an inch of tape. Last year, we made several million miles of tape. Inch by inch. This may not be the fastest way to make tape, but at Maxell we think it's the best way to make tape. So we examine every inch of tape with a special electronic gauge to make sure that it's perfectly uniform from one end of the tape to the other. Then we pass every last inch of our tape through a special micro scanner that can pick up the most minute particle of dust, or the slightest flaw. So that nothing but the sound of defect -free tape will ever reach your ears. It's things like this that help to make Maxell the world's finest tape. And when you stop to consider all the time, care and effort that goes into making an inch of our tape, it's not surprising that we sell millions of miles of it.

Sigma has two rooms at the 212 N. 12th St. address, once of the home of Cameo -Parkway Records and a legendary location for the production of pop hits from the 1950s to the present.

Channel automation functions include ride. mute nde and update. MCI's 3 -inch multitrack recorder, bowed last November, was conspicuously absent from the exhibit floor. The 20.1.p.s. recorder was expected to get its West Coast debut at this show. Mack Emmerman, whose studios were slated to receive first production this spring. expressed doubt that the new recorder would be delivered to his Criteria facilities before July. No reason for the postponement was given. Though the Solid State Logic floppy disk mechanism suffered damage during air shipment from the U.K. to L.A., engineers with SSL had the system up and running by the first day of exhibits. The SSL approach to system control and automation relies on a custom designed mini- computer to manage all system functions including board automation, switching logic (talk back mutes, etc.) and tape position locate control. Data storage is via dual floppy disks which eliminate the need for data storage on the multitrack Floppy disk and multitrack are "synchronized" by way of SMPTE code recorded on the multitrack tape.

Prominent among the manufacturers of systems related to disk vetaren recording was Westrex, a firm m disk mastering technology. Its new products. though unmistakably Westren "packaging," offer many new operational features. The Stereodisk Recorder is available in a new model, the 3DIIAH. The new model cutting head features positive self alignment of the cutting stylus which can be installed or removed without removal of the head from the carriage mounting. A new drive coil design is claimed to achieve recorded disk levels previously unobtainable. The Westrex electronics package includes 120 watt, solid state -dove amplifiers and a high frequency reduction amplifier. model RA The latter unit features two sanable band rejection filters configured in a limiter circuit This device. like similar models available from other disk system manufacturers, reduces high frequency transients which cause distortion or system overload. This disk system may be interfaced with tape reproducer through a Westrex Mastenng Console, which includes controls and processing in the preview channels identical to those in the program channel. Compudisk is a lathe control system manufactured by Sonec Electronics in Cockeysville, Md. This unit is designed to retrofit the Neumann AM 131, AM 32- VMS 70 and VMS 66 lathes, as well as the early Scully lathes. The Compudisk system. dexel- oped around microcomputer circuits, operates by controlling the "land" between grooves rather than groove pitch. Front panel controls establish groove spacing in 'A-mil increments. Any desired amount of spacing is mainlined by use of both "static" and "dynamic' land con- trols. The Compudisk is claimed to eliminate the need for the Neumann program module when adapted to that system.

This claim is made by J.B. Cole. owner of Michal One-Stop Distributors in Memphis. Cole. owner of two one -stop retail outlets in the area, recently opened a full -line operation in a 601 white area. "I carry records by everybody from the Rolling Stones to Dolly. Parton and Waylon Jennings to Teddy Pendergrass but in terms of label support, all I get are posters and promo copies on the black -oriented artists. "1'm not talking about all record companies. I get 1001 support from Arista and Anula Records.. Their promotion people arc almost like employes here (DarryI Williams works for Arista and Herb Kneeland is at Anola). "These guys come in and Immediateb want to know what they can do for us. what we need and they're on the phone getting help for us. These are the only two promotion people we see. On the other hand, I know there's a Motown person in the area but we've never seen him. He called my wife Dorothy once" She runs the operation that deals primarily sslah black -oriented product. "I even asked the promotion per son from Atlantic for a promo copy of the Blues Brothers LP and she told me that she didn't handle that and couldn't gel it for me. I had to buy a copy to play for customers. "Fifty percent of my customers at the new store are white and the only poster of a white artist I have on the wall is of Chcr. I have to use LP jackets of artists like Willie Nelson. Parton and others for displays. Warner Bros. is one of the companies that's faithful- through the mail. but then again, only for black acts." "Customers for the most part don't care whether you're black or white. They only want to know if you have the records" By JL:AN WILLIAMS Cole's operations are combination one- stop /retail outlets. with the new facility spanning more than 4,1X11 square feet and the black -oriented shop much smaller He notes that he will he moving into a third facility mahout six months in Humboldt, Tenn.

Circuit Judge Myron Wahls and Detroit public information director Joyce Garrett are at the ceremony at the Ford Auditorium to present the UA artist with his honor. "To finance the label I opened my first retail record shop dealing almost exclusively in gospel. "The problem in Memphis was that no matter how many records I sold or that ms distributor sold. couldn't get credo. "With 80 gospel singles and 30 LPs on Gospel Express I was forced to open a one -stop. Distributors didn't warn to carry my complete line and they wanted me to take a price cut. "I had my own radio broadcasts on KWAM -AM, an all- gospel station, to advertise my shop and play records. "Factually. 1 don't make any money on the gospel product.

He warns that at a special general meeting of the BPI set l'or June 6. members will be asked to agree to a resolution giving the eight majors automatic membership of the council. without any need for a reelection process. Additionally the majors would be given 25 votes each at each general meeting. a total of 200 votes compared with the maximum 176 held by the indies. John Deacon.

This would mean a council lineup of six independents, plus the eight major,. EMI, CBS, RCA, Decra, Phonogram, Polydor. Pyc and WEA. He adds: "In all my experience of the BPI as a council member before becoming director general, I've never known the majors to vote en bloc on any matter." Even so, he agrees the majors will have a dominant role in voting in council and general meetings if members agree to the 25 votes each proposal. "It was a unanimous decision to put the motion ahead," he says, "with independents voting with the majors." James is finding big support from other independents. Andrew Pryor, Ariola marketing manager. says. "We're very angry indeed that the majors are proposing such a scheme" And Paul Conroy, Stiff Records general manager, hits out: "We're too busy working on our product and pushing our artists to keep attending BPI meetings. We think the BPI does a good job, but we're not a full member because of the cost. But this is a usual desperate move by the majors. The independents have caused havoc among the overstaffed majors and this is another sign of it." Alongside this "rift" comes the fact that the ase in BPI expenditure to finance its antipiracy campaign and fight against home taping means category "A" major company subscriptions have been raised from 515,000 a year to $ a year.

Zappa To Wax LP In Vienna By MANFRED SCHREIBER VIENNA -Exactly I tickets are available for Frank Zappa's symphonic music concert in this city's Stadthalle June 13, with an immediate boxoffice rush for what promises to be a remarkable event. It is here that Zappa presents, as pan of the Vienna Festival, his symphonic compositions "Sad Jane.' "Bogus Pomp" and "Wool," with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra playing alongside Zappa's own ensemble, specially imported from the U.S. Since 1968, Zappa has visited Vienna for concerts about every two years. He is a devotee of the socalled Vienna school of composers such as Schoenberg and Webern. one key reason behind his frequent visits. Says Joachim Lieben. general manager of Stimmen Der Welt (Voices Of The World). Zappa's promoter in Austria: "Zappa feels that the Viennese understand his music particularly clearly and well. His audience has increased all the time, his last show packing out the Stadthalle." In 1970, Zappa started talks with his promoters about his compositions for a large orchestra. Negotia-, lions followed, but it was only this year that the Vienna Symphony could find time for the event. due to the last postponement of a concert trek to Japan. Ticket prices for the big premiere run from $7.50 to the some as for the more run -of- the -mill pop concerts here. But the costs of the show itself run to more than $500,000. Even at sellout status, which is virtually guaranteed, the entire outlay will not be recovered_ But to compensate. Zappa is to produce a video presentation via four mini television cameras, and he's looking for international sales for the film. Additionally, the Austrian Broadcasting Company (ORF) is recording the concert and will transmit the result in its pop program, "OE 3 " The show will also yield an album. Contrary to general speculation. it's not true that the city of Vienna is financing the event. It is "renting" the Vienna Symphony at normal rates, and the conductor is Friedrich Cerha, who wrote the third act of "Lulu," by Alban Berg, for the Paris Opera House. Zappa is already in Vienna for rehearsals, and the album recording will be completed in the ORF studios the day following the one -off concert.

Japan and Canada. plus at least three "live" recording sessions set to take place during some of the 100 -plus concerts, this year's Northsea Jazz Festival (July 13-15) is being touted here by its promoter. Paul Acket. as truly international. It will certainly be the largest in the event's three -year history, with attendance expected to top 1978's paying visitors, not to mention the 9,000 who showed the year before. Artist lineup includes Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock. Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Count Basic. Alexis Korner, the Yosuka Yamashita Trio and Joe Pass. Norman Granz is to record the Pass concert live. having been much impressed by last year's festival. Britain's Black Lion label will record U.K. Dixieland groups. the Rod Mason Jazz Band with Beryl Bryden, the Bob Hall/ George Green Boogie Woogie Band (which includes Charlie Watts from the Rolling Stones, plus veteran bluesman Krmer) and Ken Colyer. plus Cousin Joe from New Orleans. And the French Fluid label is to record a "first" for the event. a combined concert of the Archie Shepp and Sam Rivers "double quartets." Also mooted, but not con- firmed, are some direct -disk "live recordings by the Japanese -based CBS /Denon labels. And radio and television cov- erage is set, as in AVRO is to prepare a series of trans- missions on radio and will do six specials of 50 minutes each, and the BBC in London has enquired about using these in the fall. Paul Acket's Agency, responsible for the entire Northsea Jazz Festival production, started the series mainly from "an idealistic point of view." But Acket says now "It will be healthier for the continuity of the event if we 0% FRITZ VERSTEEG reach a break -even point. or even make a modest profit." However, he faces one immediate setback with the increase, by government decree, of the Value Added Tax on concert admission prices from 4% to 18%. The ministry of culture. recreation and social affairs does not help subsidize the festival, though the municipal authority of The Hagues will weigh in this year with around $ And the management of the Congres- gebouw contributes around $40,000 as no rent is charged over a five -day period. Against this is the fact that Acket estimates production costs for the 1979 festival to be around $500,000. This is spread over ardund 550 musicians playing during the three -day event, providing around 100 concerts in the seven halls of the Congresgebouw. There are free concerts in front of the main hall. including shows by three U.S. high school jazz bands: from Garfield High School, Hyde Park Junior High from Las Vegas, and the Washington -based Interlake High School Band. Among the big names booked in: July 13. Count Basie Band. Ella Fitzgerald with the Paul Smith Trio, Jabbo Smith and the New Orleans Joymakers; the combined showing of the Archie Shepp and Sam Rivers groups: Salome Bey and the All -Star Canadian Jazz Sextet, from the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion; and a Concord festival. with the L.A.

Venue was the Malaysian city's Merdeka Stadium, and the crowd numbered around 15,000 (tickets were apiece). Other WEA acts on the bill: the Blues Gang from Malaysia, and Ramband from Hong Kong. Now Malaysia Moves On Tape Smugglers By CHRISTIE LEO KUALA LUMPUR -Malaysian customs officials have seized over worth of blank cassettes being smuggled between Singapore and the mainland to avoid duty. and apparently intended for pirate use. The smugglers were also arrested. While the amount of goods involved is small, the action is considered significant because it marks the first time that authorities here have moved on suspected pirates and their fellow travellers. The tapes were being smuggled by boat between Singapore and Lahore on the Malaysian peninsula May 14, when customs officials gave chase by sea and made the seizure. It was around 4 a.m. Meanwhile, the local Malaysian association for artists and composers, Papila, recently met with the country's deputy prime minister, Dr. Mahathir, and ministry of trade officials to discuss what it considers inadequate protection against piracy. Says Frankie Cheah, WEA's general manager here and a member of Papita. "Dr. Mahathir was sympathetic to our cause despite being preoccupied by other problems. He expressed full support for the total elimination of piracy of local product, but said that we have to be patient until a few difficult aspects can be ironed out." L was agreed at the meeting that the Malaysian Copyright Act of 1969 adequately covered local recordings, but that enforcement was lacking. Presently. the piracy of local repertoire is treated as a civil matter and not a criminal one. The Papila committee requested that a directive be issued to the Inspector General of Felice informing all precincts that any reports received about the infringement of copyright laws (on local recordings) be acted upon as a criminal case. The association members also spoke of protection for international repertoire. but were told that this could only be implemented in the next stage after protection for local product was a reality. Cheah explained during the meeting that the difference in pricing between the legitimate and pirate product was distinct because of the various production costs, overheads. promotion and advertising, expenses and royalties incurred by the former producers. The deputy prime minister had inquired about a reduction in the pricing structure for local releases. Explains Cheah: "We can look into this possibility, but it must be after the eradication of piracy of local product. Also, if there's such a thing as an assured quantity of sales. then there's every likelihood of price reductions." The Papila committee reiterated the benefits that can fow from the elimination of piracy: the upturn in business and investment, the creation of new studio facilities and concert venues, with attendant employment opportunities. At present, the ratio of legitimate to pirate product for local recordings is around one to 17. The one -hour get -together ended on a promising note, with Papita members assured that immediate action will be taken to create a health - ier climate for local legitimate repertoire to flourish. A second meeting is scheduled to take place some time in July. DIRECT MAIL CATALOG U.K. Student Body Bows Album Discount Scheme LONDON -A new threat to Britain's independent record retailers, already hemmed in by the pnce -cutung tactics of the multiples has come from the inauguration of a direct mail discount record -buying operation by members of the National Union of Students. Union executives, running the scheme in universities, colleges and polytechnics all over Britain, say the aim is to become an important part of the entertainment business Early involvement is via direct mailing of albums under the banner.

Rob Armstrong, of NUS Marketing, set up to handle all kinds of commodity distribuuon to students. says all the major record companies arc co-operating in the scheme. "Only Stiff Records has stayed out, and that is because it does not think it can concede the extra 10% discount involved right now" The student body runs a ware- house in the East End of London with a staff of eight handling disk despatch. Orders come as a result of advertising in student publications. It is estimated there are now a million students in the U.K. and they are known to be short of money, (Continued on page 63)

91 Canada Question Value, Necessity Of Canadian Disco Pools By DAVID FARRI-LI. MONTREAL -Petty ego ctsn flicts, escalating costs and tight play - lists arc among a number of reasons cited by major record labels here for re- evaluating the necessity and usefulness of disco record pools. At a hastily convened meeting in the city last week, several disco pools battled it out in front of an assembled throng of label delegates who. for the most part. argued that the two pools were signing on tow many - clubs and yielding few results other than consuming greater numbers of promo disks. Polygram and WEA took no position in the oftentimes raucous discussion. both stating that whatever policy they wished to employ was of no concern to anyone else. But companies such as CBS and Quality argued vigorously against keeping company policies over promo copies in the dark. According to figures cited at the meeting. CBS currently budgets around 5100,000 on disco pool promotions and Quality in the area of 520,000. Just how effective the various pools are in breaking new product though was the chief hone of contention. According to John Marie Heimerath, who flew in for the meeting from Infinity Records head office in Toronto, not enough research is done by record companies to ascertain the effectiveness of promotion on specific records. Formerly with Polygram- Heimerath said that in the Toronto market he had proved that by personally servicing 20 "key" clubs in the market that sales were just as effective as had he gone the "easy route" and serviced all 75 In the Ontario Disco Pool. He suggests that when servicing clubs one needs a barometer to gauge reaction and that the club needs to have an active buying clientele, not the occasional hipster who likes to go out and dance and then eo home and not be heard from for another six months. Both London and Capitol seemed to be in favour of servicing more than one pool in the Montreal market. London's Gary Chalmers noted that his company could move between copies of an album through club airplay. and Capitol's Rick Nickerson cited deejay input leading to the release of Barry Manilow's No. I hit " Copacabana." Quality's rep told pool staffers that there were too many clubs getting serviced and that there was going to have to be a cutback in memberships. He also said that in the past six months. AM radio has jumped on the disco bandwagon and that they were breaking records now before the clubs were playing them. "Why is this?" he shouted. "Why can Amid Stewart get on the radio before the discotheques? It is because of politics. Once radio Boney Hit SINGAPORE -Boney M is drawing top crowds during its current tour of Southeast Asia. The act's two -hour -plus show at this city's National Stadium. promoted by Johnny Young, pulled 30,000 on May 19. The following day. Boney M attracted to its performance in Kuala Lumpur. promoted by Spotnight Productions. Combo, signed to WEA In these markets. wenton to_play datesjllndonesia, touches the song. you feel that sou don't have to play it." His words were echoed by another rep who cited the case of Claudja Barry's gold single "Boogie Woogie Dancing Shoes" which received scant discotheque airplay and was turned gold largely by AM radio. While the Montreal meet proved to be more of a shouting match than a discussion. it was decided that the Canadian Assn. of Professional D.J.s and the Canadian International Record Pool should amalgamate and limit membership to no more than 100 members. For a company such as CBS releasing as many as six 12 -inch singles per week, it means servicing 600 copies to the amalgamated pool. But. just as the meeting came to a close in Montreal, a similar situation erupted in Toronto with a new pool vying to cut into the established Ontario Record Pool operation. Taking a number of key club deejays away from Jackie Valaseck's Ontario Pool, the new operation is offering spinners international fame, gold records and a say in the running of the pool operation. It's likely another meeting is to he convened with the record companies and the heads of the two pools. In the meantime. labels arc watching the proceedings with interest as radio increasingly does the job that the pools once did for them Bomb Issues Punk Finale TORON TO -A chaptei In the history of teenage rebellion in this v iiy has been captured on vinyl by Bomb Records and released under the fitting title of The Last Pogo." The LP immortalizes punks' last stand at the Horseshoe Tavern here. with 550 kids jamming into the premise to hear 11 new wave bands discharge energy in a fashion that AOR radio largely chose to ignore. Nine of the performing bands agreed to release material from their sets for a Bomb album, produced by local producer Keith ELshaw, who himself is something of a star after he was fired from a local FM station without explanation and listeners petitioned without success to have him reinstated. Bomb has also got the Wives (formerly known as the Battered Wives) in the studio. as also singer Bob Segarini. Both are doing second albums for Bomb. Segarni s shaping up to be a double set. The Wives' project is being produced by Craig Leon who has worked with Moon Martin and the Ramones among others. Cockburn Push 1rgt,tr, Canada's Bruce Cockburn is the subject of substantial promotion in Italy via the new deal signed between Ricordi and True North Productions. The Italian company has signed the singer -songwriter direct. It will re- release three albums from his earlier Island pact -"In The Falling Dark." "Circles In The Stream" and "Further Adventures" -plus Cockburn's next three albums. which will appear under the Ricordi International label. And the promotional buildup, it's hoped, will include a cgncert tour by the Canadian International Own Labels Brighten Metronome Business By WOLFGANG SPAHR IIAMBURG Own -label repertsnrc t-, making dramatic strides in this market IM Metronome Musik, with the Brain, Nature, Zebra and Metronome labels accounting for 41.6 %, of the company's overall turnover in Particular puce -setter is Brain. up 428%F in recent years. thanks largely to rock hand Jane. These increases have been matched by an upturn in Metronomes staff, now at 108 across a &r, marketing/promotion, sales, administration and distribution. There are 23 salesmen, visiting 1,400 customers between the Baltic and the Bodensee on a regular weekly or monthly basis. These include some 400 department stores, 900 specialist retailers, approximately 80 jukebox wholesalers, a handful of rackjobbcrs and 40 wholesalers. some of them handling only cassettes. Metronomes network is now split into four regional centers: Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt and Munich. The company has a specialist servicing the wholesale trade nationally. while a separate department covers the subscription market, which can only be tapped through hook clubs. Excluding club busimss, Metronomes sales this year have divided into 45% to mainstream record retailers. 304 to wholesalers and rack - jobbers. 20% to department stores and 51 to jukeboxes. And our international involvement is remarkable in comparison with other companies." claims Gass- ner. "German rock on Brain is creating ripples abroad Coming back the other way, product made available in Germany through Met - ronome is greatly influencing local music tastes." He cites Iva Zanicchi, the Homo Sapiens group and Rift from Milan. The label has also issued original recordings by Little Richard. while serving up contemporary blues-rock in the shape of George Thorogood from the U.S. Other repertoire sources: Bntains DJM and Nems. Continues Gassner: "Irrespective of origin, older recordings are reissued in our venous madpnce lines. The album series,' The Original,' for example. has grown to 38 titles inside two years, and one act. Italy's Drupi, has sold 30,000 units via this line alone." The "Star' series has been operated in similar fashion. with Neil Diamond and Buddy Holly among the top sellers. The "Star Edition" line features such names as Deodato. Volker Kriegel and Albert Mangelsdorff, Discount For U.K. Students C-untnued /rural page 0/ even allowing for recently increased grants. and so will welcome the discount advantages of the scheme NUS Marketing believes sales volume will compensate for its own narrow margin. An example of the discounting Abba's The Album" sells ut a recommended retail p cc of $8.98, but the direct mail price is lust $6.58. NUS Marketing claims that the major record companies are offenng advice on suitable product for the Great Stuff catalog. It is likely the mail -out operation will be fully computerised by the end of the year. plus Melva, latter yielding units in six months. Metronome's relatively modest offering of classical music is also fed by some foreign sources, including the U.S. MCA catalog, Amadeo of Austria, and. on a local level. MPS from the Black Forest Also. the Ades label has actor Karlheine Boehm relating the lives of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart on four -children releases. Concludes Gassner: "The production and release of recorded music is inevitably a risky business. a balancing act between the artists' needs and those of the audience. between the market and the media, between idealism and business. To produce and publish an artist's work almost always entails some kind of patronage at the start" Nevertheless. Metronome prides itself on the emphasis placed on originality. "We're not offering something for everybody. We're not a show- business supermarket with music of all types on tap. Our slogan is 'success with a small market share.-'.

The theatre opens Its season Fnday II with Heart headlining. and expects to stage more than 40 shows this summer. "Our concern at the current time Is not that deep because we're only 30 miles away from Milwaukee. says Joe Balestreiri, spokesman for Alpine Valley. "It may hurt the Chicago draw, hut not Milwaukee." Bus service will run from Chicago for the first time this year. with departures from three north side shopping centers. Round trip adds to the cost of the concert. Bus service from Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha also is provided. to the facility in East Troy, Wis. "Theoretically. people could come totally by bus," relates Balestrein. "We have enough buses to guarantee a total sell -out by bus." Supertramp, Steve Martin, Marshall Tucker, Kansas, Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell, Doobic Brothérs and Cheap Trick are among dates that have been announced. With gas expected to be made available on weekends to sustain resort trade in Wisconsin, fewer midweek presentations are being sched- uled, reports Balestrein.

I think it's a positive move in getting retailers interested in stocking sheet music, as long as we can get the same discounts so they can make more money. Not as optimistic as Biclo is Ron Revd., president of Controlled Sheet Music Service Inc. of Copiague, N.Y. "I realize that costs are up, but not in line to bring the price up to $I.95." he maintains. While he claims It's loo early to assess the impact of the increase, he feels "an awful lot of people who would buy a few sheet copies, may end up buying only one. Eventually, we could well see a decline in business" Frank Hackinson, vice president of Columbia Pictures Publications. says the $1.95 has already been "tested" with "Music Box Dancer." He justifies the increase in view of "skyrocketing paper costs and increases in printing. arrangements. engraving and costs of handling." in recent years, some print companies have charged more than the normal price for single sheets that went beyond the conventional four - page format, particularly with regard to elongated rock -type material. _ General News TIARAS PANEL -Questions about demo tape recording are referred to a panel of experts at a Chicago NARAS public presentation.

94 66 Jazz 9 YEARS LATER Michel Colombier Of France Back With New LP, New Co. LOS ANGELES -Nine years is a long time between albums, but with the release of his self- tilled Chrysalis LP. French composer /arranger/ keyboardisl Michel Colombier is now ready to "become more of a recording artist." Colomhier's last studio album was his pop symphony "Wings" and during the time since, Colombier says albums he started never got past the recording and mix stages mainly because of numerous other projects which included scoring for films, ballet and theatre. With managerial direction for the first Lire (Bob Brown, who also manages Pablo Cruise) and a move to the U.S., Colombier is prepared to give up "doing things as they come" in lieu of concentrating on recordings. Guest artists aiding Colombier include Herbie Hancock, Tom Scott. Larry Carbon, Michael Brecker.

Newspaper Sunday cornices sections arc a new medium of exposure for artists and records with the inlroducuon of a comic strip called "Pop Idols" already in 65 papers across the country. Begun in April, the full color strip each week.upollights a different group or artist along with a brief history and discography. Artwork is by Stan Drake with copy by Brendan Boyd. formerly the author of a newspaper column called "Rock Box " The comic strip comes from the Universal Press Syndicate which also produces the well - known "Docmesbury," Lee Sakm, managing editor, says, "We wanted a feature slanted to the adolescent and young adult market." The strip runs in the Daily News here and more papers arc being added. Salem claims. Among the artists profiled so By ROBERT RO l far have been the Who, Bob Seger. the Rolling Stones and the Doobie Brothers On Sunday (3), the Bee Gees will be in the center of the comic strip which will assume the tille "Pop Idols And The Disco Scene" Thais in recognition of the box showing a different dance step weekly and expanded coverage of disco artists. Cheryl Lynn is showcased In the section labeled "Disco Dial." Apparently the authors are willing to engage in speculation as well as history. The next feature contains the prediction that the youngest Gibb brother. Andy. "will join the group by year's end." Although cooperation is received from record companies in supplying information or disks, no compensation is paid the artists. according to Salem, because they are "news figures."

While the Liberal government under Pierre Trudeau did much to foster a national and cultural consciousness in the country during its I I years in power. the past two years have seen a growing hostility between the federal government and the record industry. Notes record retail baron. Sam Smderman, of the Sam's Records & Tapes chain: "Other than the Canadian content ruling for radio and a tongue-in-cheek $50,000 grant for Canadian classical composers. what else have the Liberals done for our industry?" Bnan Robertson. president of the Canadian Recording Industry Assn.. notes that "David MacDonald is definitely our key in the new government, and we arc pleased to have someone in a senior position who is sympathetic to the industry." In Ottawa, retailer and Canadian label owner Harvey Glatt reinforces Robertson's remarks. adding that where the Liberals basically offered "seed money" for sales trips abroad. the new government seems "cunlerned with exploiting natural talcuts here " While the election promises used to bait the industry and the voting public could get jinxed on the House of Commons floor, with the Liberals pressunng for a balanced budget. MacDonald has gone on record as stating that his goal is to see a 12`F sales increase for Canadian disks in the nest several years.

Minnie Ripcnon's debut LP for Capitol Is a delight for the ears and senses. She owns one of the most universally soulful and expressively Lyrical voices in music today. It soars with power and caresses with feeling. And here with able assistance of first class players and an arranger such as Jeremy Lubbock. not to mention the fine production efforts of Lewy and Rudolph. Riper - ton's voice is given the kind of creative freedom and range she may never have had before on disk. The supporting cast consists of Stevie Wonder, Jose Feliciano, Hubert Laws, Tom Scott, Chuck Rainey, Phil Upchurch. Harvey Mason. Victor Feldman, Paulinho da Costa, Randy Waldman, the Sea - wind Horns, Oscar Castro Neves. Claudio Sloan and others. That sort of superstar tapestry might have created a tendency to overproduce. But the songs and arrangements are so skillfully and seductively put together that every track is a standout. Mason on drums. Rainey on bass and Upchurch on guitar create a great rhythm groove on "Memory Lane," the first tune and also the single al's a sparkling. r &b flavored number w tub Riperton singing about a familiar subject, lost but remembered love. Combined with Lubbock's gentle piano. the mood is irresistible. Stevie Wonder plays drums, synthesized bass, acoustic piano. elavinet and celeste on the next song. "Lover And Friend." He's joined by the Seawmd Horns and the results are another midtempo tune with both r &h and rock overtones. "Return TO Forever," is a hallad with special tenderness from the Riperton pipes. It may be the most touching tune on the LP with Brazilian guitarist Neves on acoustic guitar and Feldman on piano. There's also a hypnotic violin solo from Jerry Vinci that conjures up a misty. nostalgic effect. "Daman' & Aden' Crazy" is a song whose tide expresses exactly what it as. It goes on for more than six minutes and is a churning mix of funk and jaez An Philips plays a funky guitar with Leon "Ndugu" Chancier, who has played with George Duke, on drums. Waldman's contribution on bass and electric piano also lends to the festive atmosphere When Riperton sings "Everyone then' HITS genin' down/darwin' and actin' era: i/ rerione there was car - rym' art/ij.inciru' and actin' rra: r" backed bu "ohms" and "abs" it sounds as though there really is a party going on in the studio as the track is bring cut.

Minnie Ruperton "Never Existed Before." is mesmerizing with its percussive effects. thanks to da Costa. Sloan and Steve Forman Hubert Laws blows flute throughout and the overall effect is a gentle r &b love song. "I am silk and satin /And I know child's and lover's pain/but don't be fooled 'cause I'm tender hearted /l'm stronger than a hurricane." Riperton begins on "I'm A Woman." Her voice is at its most sensual and silky here on this mellow, slightly churning tune. Again da Costa's percussion. playing shaker. bells and blocks. is a knockout. Finally. Riperton and company may have saved the best for last. a long rendition of the Doors' "Light My Fire." Halfway. through Jose Feliciano joins as it becomes a duet The effect is spellbinding. And if that isn't enough. Mason's drums. Laboriel's bass, da Costa's percussion. Waldman's electric piano and Holder's and Mario Henderson's electric guitar lay down a superlative rhythm bed.

This past February. for example. Anne Murray's gentle ballad "You Needed Me" won the female pop vocal award in competition against the hard driving disco rhythms of Donna Summer's "MacArthur Park." And Barry Mamlow's high - stepping "Copacabana" took the male pop prize over the straightened rock of Jackson Browne s "Running On Empty." Actually both disco and rock did well in the Grammy voting this year, with the Bee Gees, Summer and Manilow winning for disco hits and the Rolling Stones and Browne bagging the tint nominations of their long careen. They just haven't had categories to call their own. Given that there are five award categories in the gospel and inspirational field, it may appear that disco and jazz fusion are being slighted with only one award.

The trustees also voted to install a computer service in the national office to improve processing of awards entries; focused on ways to improve the Grammy Awards CBS -TV telecast with its executive producer Pierre Cossette; and discussed financing for the NARAS Institute. an educational foundation funded by the Academy.

110 82 MUSICAL REVIEW A& M's Peter Allen Rings Gotham's Bell NEW YORK -A &M artist Peter Allen scored a minor triumph Wednesday (23) with nearly two hours of song, dance and glib, campy humor that provide an adequate display of his songwriting skills, not to mention the flamboyant personality which has endeared him to this city's considerable cabaret crowd. His scheduled three -week run at the Biltmore Theatre was greeted with praise from critics and fans as he made his Broadway debut with a smooth, well- produced and staged evening that was packed with 25 extremely well- crafted songs mostly written in collaboration with other gifted tunesmiths. Allen's writing credits include "I Honestly Love You.' Olivia Newton- John's hit, and "Don't Cry Out Loud" for Melissa Manchester, as well as the infectious "I Go To Rio' recorded by Pablo Cruise. But not many people know Allen in concert because until now he was relegated to international watering holes that attracted the old and new of cafe society. ARTISTS OPEN RESTAURANT NEW YORK -A group of 22 mu- O sieans and singers have opened a it restaurant here called Possible 20. m The eatery. at 253 W 55 Si., has a Radio Rcgistery hookup at each Ed table. according to Geoff Lissauer, a a; music business tax consultant and business manager who pulled the project together. Among the must - cri cians as investors are Cecil Taylor. sea Richard Marotta and Christopher D Parker. Jon Bagdon. who operates two other restaurants in the city. Shelter and P S. 77. operates Possible 20. The restaurant, which scats 90. is open until 2 a.m. to accommodate the mans studio musicians in the area. Brooklyn Producer Can't Sell Record NEW YORK A U.S. District Court judge has issued a permanent injunction against the further sale and distribution of a 45 r.p.m. single produced by a Brooklyn man on the grounds that it misleads purchasers into believing it is a promotional device for General Foods' trademarked candy. "Pop Rocks." Defendant Gary Meths. who issued the disk in June 1978, under the title "I'm The Pop Rock King." was distributing it with packets of the candy product attached The food conglomerate brought suit shortly thereafter. In his dcicnsc, Wilts claimed that he was dubbed "The Pop Rock King" 15 years ago, but the court found he had filed for a trademark registration in July His quill.. I,.i, doesn't get lost in a concert setting, the opening night crowd discovered. and a full stage allows lam to prance around in the defiantly campy manner that is his trademark. He's no Fred Astaire, but hardly anyone in today's audiences seems to remember when dancing was graceful and lithe. whether you were male or female. sit it doesn't seem to matter if ho move. ments are jerky. The material more than compensates for any small complaints about his steps, however Allen has cars and a deft touch for songwnting and that was what made the evening a pleasure. He could have included a bit more of the real)) sensitive songs he's known for, rather than opting for the glossier arrangements that predominate. "Tenterlield Saddler" and "Two Boys" are classics and Allen alone sings them with the feeling they deserve. More of then wouldn't hurt this production.

The six-piece band was wonderful II never dropped a note and was true in spirit to Allen's ad lib% and serious moments at once. Allen encored with a moving rendition of "As Time Goes By" which featured a singalong by the audience. It almost sounded like an English music hall at its zenith.
