KC and The Sunshine Band, the magazine'sfirst No. 1 Award, which was designed togive credit to the group or artist who achiev-ed the No. 1 status on the RPM 100 singleschart. The setting was New York City'sAmericana Hotel at a lavish dinner hostedby T.K. president, Henry Stone and attend -

ed by RCA representatives, radio, televisionand press from around the world. In makingthe presentation to H.W. Casey, leader ofTK's top moneymaking group, Grealisnoted: "This is the only award of its kind inthe world and it's only fitting that KCand the Sunshine Band should be the firstrecipients because of their chart success inCanada over the past twelve months."

It's interesting to note that the Miami -based group topped the RPM chart witheach of their past three releases - GetDown Tonight, which took the top berthSept 27, 1975; That's The Way (I LikeIt) a No. 1 Dec 13, holding for the 20thand 27th; and their most recent hit (Shake,Shake) Shake Your Booty, the chart topperSept 27 and the reason the group receivedthe RPM No. 1 Award.

Casey is somewhat of a phenomenon inthe disco music world. He's quick to paytribute to Henry Stone who gave him his

first break at the TK Studios where, as astaff musician, he was able to make sugges-tions and was finally given the opportunityto carry them out. He also credits much ofhis success to his long-time friend RickFinch, who is actually Casey's righthand inwriting.

Ironically, it was in the U.K. whereCasey and Finch experienced their firstsuccess as a concert draw. Some observersbelieved that because of the makeup of thegroup (black and white) they were turningoff southerners, even in their hometown ofMiami. Their U.K. success however, openedthe doors and several influential black sta-tions got on the Sunshine bandwagon andthe group hasn't looked back since. Themost rewarding aspect of KC and the Sun-shine Band's recording career is their bridg-ing of the disco -radio gap. Radio program-mers accepted the Sunshine's sound as beingtop listening fare about the same time discojocks were gearing up their dance clientele.

TK's week in New York, with all theinternational press and radio people beingchaperoned by Mary Ann Flynn, was top-ped by a sellout concert at Madison SquareGarden (Oct 1) where KC and The Sun-shine Band shared the bill with FrankieValli. It was obviously Valli's night (hisreturn to his hometown) but the audiencewas set up by the TK group and reactedwildly with the intro of each number andbrought Casey and his people back for anencore.

Ed Preston, Vice President and GeneralManager of RCA's Record Division inCanada, (distributors of TK product) hasbeen kept busy supplying gold and platinumawards to KC and The Sunshine Band. Eachof their singles attained gold status, withThat's The Way (I Like It) making platinum.Their first album, under title of their ownname has become gold.

LARGE DELEGATION

TO SAN FRANCISCO

RCA celebrates

75th anniversary

in San Francisco

by Boyd Tattrie

The RCA International convention was held in San Francisco July 27

- 31. Attended by over 500 RCA sales and promotion

reps from around the world, it marked the company's 75th anniversary, as well as the

first time in ten years that the entire sales and promotion team from Canada had met

with their head office counterparts.

_

Much of the emphasis during the meet was placed on presentation of new product. This was done with the aid of a ten - screen

audio - visual setup, a presentation method Ed Preston called "nothing short of specta-

cular." Among product featured which has been or soon will be released in Canada

was the celebrated Porgy And Bess LP, with Cleo LaMe and Ray Charles in the

starring roles. It's a double LP set produced by impresario Norman Granz for RCA.

New product and new artists were also the topic of a panel discussion. Keith Adams of KDIA radio expressed the need for new

artists from a programmer's point of view. Bill Gavin, Gavin Report publisher, pointed out the radio industry's constant conflict

between the necessity of new artists which will allow the industry as a whole to grow, and the need for radio to please its audience by playing what is familiar. Janet Gavin,

editor of the Gavin Report, made the well- known comparison that as a rule, country artists last longer than pop artists. She also

produced figures which showed that out of

21 new pop artists in 1975, ten of those can now be considered established.

Other speakers during the convention included Jack Kiernan, vice president of

marketing; Mario De Filippo, director of sales; Bud Oseroff and Harvey Campbell,

president and vice-president respectively of Mobile One Stop; Dan Heilicher, vice presi-

dent of J.L. Marsh of Minneapolis; and Russ Solomon and John Schairer, president and

vice president of Tower Records. Rack Jobbing was an area of interest for this set

of talks; Heilicher commented on the necessity of them and their pivotal position

in the industry, while Solomon blamed them for a lack of growth in the industry.

RCA president Ken Glancy spoke on several occasions throughout the conven-

tion. He introduced various international RCA executives, including Ed Preston, vice

president and general manager of RCA Canada; Francesco Fanti, vice president and general manager in Rome, and Tokugen

Yamamoto from RCA Japan. Glancy out- lined the history of the company from its

foundation around 1902 by Emil Berliner and Eldridge Johnson with their new

phonograph machines and a stack of Enrico Caruso records.

Major product presentations were'made by some of the labels distributed by RCA.

Jay Lasker, president of Ariola America and John Ford, product manager for Ariloa

America in Canada, featured new product by Central Park, Mary Mary McGregor and

Marmalade, Billy Ocean, Walker Brothers, Dana, Heat Wave, and a new group called

La Seine. Mary Ann Flynn of TK Records in

Miami, unveiled the new LP by KC and The Sunshine Band, due for immediate release.

She also presented new LP and single product by Miami, The Skyliners, Little Beaver,

Foxy, Betty Wright, Clarence Reid, Seven Seas, Gwen McCrea, George McCrea, and

Dorothy Moore. Jerry Weintrub, president of Windsong

and Management Three, praised RCA for its support of the label over the years, call-

ing attention to the success of John Denver and the Starland Vocal Band.

Video presentations were made on Gryphon Productions, Flying Dutchman,

Tatoo, Midland International, Utopia, and Soul Train Records.

John Denver made a surprise appearance at a wind-up dinner and reception. Also

on hand were the Starland Vocal Band, Free Beer, and Rosie. Other artists met

during the convention included Chet Atkins, Arthur Fiedler, Morris Albert, Jefferson

Starship, L.A. Jets, Vicki Sue Robinson, Harry Nilsson, Gary Stewart, Waylon

Sylvia Tyson concert postponed in Toronto

Sylvia Tyson's new manager - Alan Katz

- has postponed her Toronto concert to November 28, to give her and her new

will play Vancouver's Old Roller Rink, November 2-6; Calgary's Refinery, Novem-

labels there, and is responsible for the success of Jimmy Bo Home, Dorothy Moore, Betty Wright, and Timmy Thomas among others, all of whom are part of the

TK Productions fold. The efforts of the label are concentrated

on the development of new talent. When the label was first formed, Stone hired

established writers, producers, and arrangers and began finding acts to match them up

with. Casey, the leader and the KC of KC and The Sunshine Band, began as a

stockroom boy and switchboard operator at TK Productions. He laboured for five

years, using the studio in off hours, until someone decided to let him do a real

session. George McCrea, meanwhile, waiting to drive his wife Gwen home from her

session, happened to be in the right place at the right time when a male voice was

needed for the Rock Me Baby track. McCrea was showcased along with some

of the newer TK acts in New York last week at the international disco convention.

McCrea introduced his Newborn Band, dancing into the appreciative crowd. He encored with a crowd -pleasing rendition of

the song that launched his career. Ralph MacDonald also appeared, leading a band comprised of some familiar players includ-

ing guitarist Eric Gale and singer Lani Groves. MacDonald has an LP entitled The Sound Of A Drum, released on the TK label. Miami is becoming known as the

Notorious Miami, and that's the name of their "LP. They featured Kill That Roach in their set, the song just released as a single and added at the Canadian Record Pool.

Foxy was another featured group, and releases are expected soon from them.

It's been said that most music journal- ists are really frustrated musicians or per-

CORRECTION

Last week in the Nick Gilder/Sweeney Todd story we reported that London

Ontario promotion man Dave Elliot estimat- ed about 1,500 in attendance at a free

concert at Toronto city hall square for Sweeney Todd. It was a typo. The true

figure is closer to 15,000. It wasn't one of our better weeks for

numbers, for the same mistake occured in the programmers story on the CFTR free

concerts, also in the Toronto city hall square. Add a zero to all the estimates there, and you get 25,000 people seeing

Wednesday and Charity Brown and not 2,500.

"Pay -TV will develop at the expense ofoff -air broadcasting, the movie house, thelive theatre, the stadium, the arena andother places of audience interest and enter-tainment," the brief explained:

"In our view, whatever safeguards areadopted in law, by regulation or by volun-tary undertakings, pay -TV will erode thebroadcasting system. The result will be lessprogram production in Canada and the re-turns suggested from pay -TV for indiginousproduction of film and television program-ming will not offset the loss of 'overallCanadian program production as providedby the publicly financed and privatelyowned networks at present."

The brief suggests the first priority isto determine whether pay -TV can in thewords of the Broadcasting Act, "safeguard,enrich and strengthen the cultural, political,social and economic fabric of Canada."

"If there were to be a p4y-TV system,the brief continues, "the operators of thedelivery system, whether it be a cable,microwave or satellite, should have no sayin the programming carried by the system";pay -TV programming should "be control-led by a non-profit public agency with theexclusive authority to acquire, produce andschedule pay -TV programs."

"The last thing Canada needs," thebrief emphasizes, "is yet another vehicle forthe distribution of foreign television pro-grams."

At present, there is a growing fightbetween cable TV operators and privatebroadcasters for control of pay -TV deliveryand programming systems, if they shouldcome to be.

CTV, Canada's private TV network, hastaken steps to set up a corporation toprogram and deliver pay -TV broadcastingin Canada. They have invited all privatebroadcasters to participate in the privatecorporation.

CBC, the public network, is opposed toallowing pay -TV to operate in Canada.

"Better than winning this award is tosee country music come together," anemotional Carroll Baker told the 350 mem-bers of the Academy of Country MusicEntertainment (ACME) Sunday, Sept. 26.

Baker had just been named top femalesinger in RPM's second annual Big CountryAwards, and the consensus among thejubilant gathering in the ballroom of theEdmonton Plaza Hotel was that a new spiritof unity had developed during the weekendACME convention.

That certainly appeared to be true aspeople from various aspects of the countrymusic industry wildly applauded each otherduring the evening's festivities.

But as RPM editor -publisher Walt Grealissaid at the presentation: "This spirit has toprevail 365 days a year."

Grealis was echoing the feelings ofoptimism and doubt battling each other inthe minds of many of the people at theconvention.

Will that spirit, that desire to bringcountry music to a wider audience, beorganized and channelled into effectivepromotion by all concerned?

The answer depends largely upon thework of the Academy during the next year.

The most important occurrence of theweekend took place near the end of theannual ACME meeting Sunday morning.

After much bickering and gnashing ofteeth over minor differences that shouldhave been discussed elsewhere, Dave Charlesprogram director of CFGM radio in Rich-mond Hill, spearheaded the spirit of co-operation by inviting his chief competitor,Barry Nesbitt, general manager of CKFHradio in Toronto, to work with him in head-ing the radio committee.

success, and perhaps that success was bestexpressed by president Hank Smith in aninterview afterwards.

"I finally have a feeling of confidence inACME. I haven't had it since I becamepresident in March," he said.

In his opening remarks at the speakers'session Saturday morning, Grealis said hewas a little surprised and somewhat dis-appointed that there was no representativefrom the Canadian Radio -telecommunica-tions and Television Commission (CRTC)present.

Contacted the following Tuesday, CRTCradio programming specialist Steve Harrissaid the Commission has had its budget cutand he hasn't been able to attend anyconventions this year.

He added that the CRTC is definitelyinterested in ACME, and he had wanted toattend the annual meeting.

Also conspicuous by his absence wasCanada's most vocal foot stompin' nation-alist, Stompin' Tom Connors.

Two reliable sources at the conventionsaid Connors has boycotted ACME.Neither Connors nor his manager, JuryKrytiuk, could be reached for comment,but Boot Records' spokesman Mark Altmansaid last week the Connors' organizationsupports ACME, but the entertainer was ona tour of the east and it wasn't possible forhim to get to Edmonton.

Altman added that no one from BootRecords had been nominated for any awards.

There were some who attended theSaturday night party and the Sundayevening banquet and awards presentation,but didn't turn out for any of the workingsessions.

Some of these people had legitimateexcuses because they were performing along distance away the previous night.Others simply weren't interested, and someweren't even members of ACME.

The Academy honoured four memberswho have worked in country music for aquarter of a century.

There was a strong impetus from a smallgroup at the convention to have ACMEheadquarters moved to Toronto for atleast two years, to be near the major recordcompanies. However, the idea didn't catchon with the majority and it was never putforward as a formal motion.

In his excellent speech Saturday morn-ing, Charles called upon all segments of theindustry to "talk to each other, break downthe mental walls and barriers in your mind."

He said a better job has to be done tomerchandise country, and he was critical ofrack jobbers who he said are killing theindustry with their budget packaging.

Torn Peacock, CKWX program director,suggested that the CRTC create a fifthcategory in its 30 per cent Canadian contentrule. That category would be for Canadianproducers.

He said the performing category shouldcarry more weight to help develop a starsystem.

The annual meeting Sunday morningadopted a resolution that organizationalmembership would be $100 minimum. Aproposal to make lifetime memberships$150 never came to a vote.

As for the awards themselves: "Youmake the Juno awards look like an amateurshow," RPM's Stan Klees told the Academy.

Much of that credit has to go to Masterof Ceremonies Grealis. Smooth, cool, re-

laxed; the perfect host if the awards go ontelevision.

"I'm really high tonight," RonnieHawkins told the gathering from the pod-ium. "That's what I get for trying to matchdrinks with George Hamilton IV."

Even before the posted time of 9 oclock, registrants started to gather in the foyer of

the Ballroom of the hotel waiting for registration and coffee. By ten oclock the

room was jammed with country music industry people who were there to spend

the whole day listening to keynote speakers and industry discussions.

By 3 p.m., all the tickets for the Sunday

Big Country Awards Banquet were sold out. This indicated that 325 would be attending.

RPM's Rob Mearns, in charge of last minute ticket sales, indicated that had there been more tickets, it would have been possible

to have reached 400. On Saturday evening, the registrants

attended a party in the Saskatchewan Room of the Edmonton Plaza. The social aspect of

the event afforded the Big Country registrants a chance to meet some of the Edmon-

ton industry and discuss the topics of the day's meetings and panel discussions.

As the room filled there was a feeling that much of what was discussed during the day would become the conversation of the

evening.

COUNTRY AWARDS would like to thank

ACME (The Academy of Country Music Entertainment)

for their assistance

and cooperation in making our two days of events in Edmonton a

success.

Thank you for holding your first general meeting as

part of BIG COUNTRY and

your help with our BIG COUNTRY AWARDS PRESENTATION

Country music had made a giant step forward here in Edmonton and many of

the registrants indicated that they saw the need for greater cooperation between the east and the west and a unity among the

country industry. Under the auspices of RPM, the first

general meeting of the Academy of Country Music Entertainment (ACME) was held in

the British Columbia room of the hotel on Sunday morning. Hank Smith, president of ACME opened the meeting which was chair-

ed by Charlie Russell. A cheque for $3040. was presented to ACME by Walt Grealis of

RPM to assist the Academy. The money was the total of the memberships received by the Canadian Academy for Country Music

Advancement which was formed the year. before to help launch the new official

Academy ACME, a chartered non-profit association.

The meeting discussed the future of the Academy and ways to make country music

more successful in Canada. In the afternoon, about a dozen hospital-

ity suites opened and a number of function rooms were set up to showcase Canada's finest country entertainers. In the Stage 'Door room of the hotel a showcase featur-

ing the finest of Alberta's talent played to standing room only. All afternoon the hotel

looked like something that could have been happening in Nashville.

One Albertan commented, "There has never been anything like this in Alberta

before." It was just the beginning. More was to come.

The Edmonton Plaza Ballroom was set up for 325 on Sunday evening and at 8:30 the seats started to fill. By quarter to nine, the ballroom was filled with diners enjoying

Alberta's famous beef and the company of other country industry people. At 10 p.m. a country band started the

presentation ceremony for the Big Country Awards. The emcee for the evening was RPM's

Walt Grealis who greeted the country industry and introduced Horst A. Schmid,

Minister of Culture for Alberta. He welcomed the registrants to Big

Country and talked about the importance of country music to Alberta. He praised the

talent he had seen earlier in the day. On behalf of the Alberta government, he presented host Walt Grealis with a pair of cuff-

links bearing the Alberta shield. The envelopes bearing the results of the voting were sent by courrier to Edmonton

by the accountancy firm of Donald Hill and Partners and were in the custody of the

Edmonton Plaza. Robin Trueman of the Edmonton Plaza

handed the sealed package to Walt Grealis on stage and it was opened for the first time

before the audience. A letter from the accountancy firm

indicated that the results were secret to everyone outside the accountancy firm and

the results would be known for the first time when the presenters opened the en-

velopes on stage. The awards were on their way and the

As each award took place the crowdbecame more and more involved and recep-tive. Emotion ran high and most winnerswere -greeted with a standing ovation.

The atmosphere during the awards wasone of togetherness and unity. This feelingprevailed throughout the weekend. It be-came obvious that the setting and the eventshad created a good feeling among thosewho had attended.

As all the winners were announced andthe evening was drawing to a close, youcould feel that this was a great moment forCanadian country music.

It had all come together possibly for thefirst time here in Edmonton. It was like thestart of something that would develop andlead to even greater success in countrymusic and the industry.

As one lady put it, "It's all like a dream,and I don't want to wake up".

It's been the big dream in country musicand it may be starting to come true. Infuture years we may look back on Septem-ber the 25th and 26th in Edmonton as thebeginning.

The Programmers

Increase in use of CBC Broadcast Service

CBC-radio's broadcast recording department is producing as many Canadian records

as most record companies these days - and

they're not all for CBC broadcast purposes only.

Attic Records' new Boss Brass LP, the group's first real jazz album, is a pressing of

tracks originally made for CBC broadcast recording at Eastern and Thunder studios

and leased to Attic for commercial sales.

Record producer Milan Kymlicka brought Jackie Richardson to CBC broad-

cast recordings to tape a few sides; but also negotiated a deal with United Artists, who now have released her first single, My Prayer, here and in the U.S. CBC radio and record producer Ann Hunter told RPM:

"I hope her record is a big hit, because I have her second one recorded for CBC

stations across Canada."

Warner Brothers is about to sign singer -

songwriter Nancy Dolman; but no matter what happens, her first Kymlicka-produced

records will be heard only by CBC listeners. Both Eric Robertson and Paul Zaza,

each very much involved in private record production in his own right, are set to

record CBC broadcast recordings soon - to be aired exclusively on CBC's 25 owned -

and -operated stations and the 64 private affiliate stations who use the record service.

CBC stations will soon have an LP by jazz flautist Cathy Moses.

Bob Lucier, who will soon record an LP with the Canadian Talent Library, recorded

his first solo sides with CBC recently: Nancy Simmonds, who is without a record

deal but was recently set to open the later -

cancelled Emmylou Harris concert in Toronto, has four songs on the CBC air-

waves; and Bev D'Angelo, a star in the CBC-radio, Charlottetown, and short-lived Broadway musical Rockabye Hamlet, also

has recorded for CBC broadcast recordings. CBC stations have an exclusive LP of

Oscar Peterson performing his Canadiana suite with Nimmons 'n' Nine + Six, because

Peterson's record label has restricted the commercial rights to the recording.

CBC got into the recording business in 1968 to meet the stricter Canadian content

expectations the CRTC had for the public broadcasting corporation, while not chang-

ing CBC policy of presenting a wide variety of contemporary Canadian music - like jazz,

classical, and real folk music; which the private record industry has not found

profitable enough to produce. The broadcast recordings department

of the CBC was officially formed five years ago.

Broadcast recording chief Bill Bessey told RPM that the department is now

producing about 40 LP records a year; now about 60-40 in favour of high -brow

music, but with plans to increase popular music production to bring the split next year, closer to 50-50.

The recent CBC radio study group on arts, music and drama programming critic- ized the broadcast recording department for

being too high brow; for using outdated studios; and for being too slow and bureau- cratized in its A&R decisions and releases.

Bessey says that those criticisms have been true, but the report already is out of date - recently the department has been

beefing up its pop music activities, working to streamline A&R decisions and, most

important, update its recording studios across Canada.

CBC has 16 -track studios in Toronto and Vancouver and they'll be opening another

in Halifax soon. They have an 8 -track studio in Edmonton; and in Calgary; Winnipeg

and Montreal they use private facilities. More than half of the broadcast record-

ings are made outside of Toronto. This, Bessey explained, is one of the reasons why

CBC is often slow to release a recording; most of them include songs by four differ-

ent artists or groups - not so good for commercial sales, but good, he says, for broad-

cast needs - often produced in four different cities.

Bessey explained that CBC got into the recording game when it became no longer

Motown's Wonder ships platinum Ron Newman, Managing Director of Mo-

town Canada, reports "a phenomenal dealer and consumer demand" for the just

released Stevie Wonder 2 -record set, Songs In The Key Of Life. The demand was so

great that Newman shipped more than 100,000 copies, which automatically gives

the package platinum status in Canada. Considered a collector's album, the

package contains a bonus record plus a 24 -page lyric booklet.

The album enters the RPM 160 at No. 1 this week, a rare happening for the Cana- dian chart.

CKNX gets FM licence for Wingham, Ontario

The CRTC granted an FM broadcast licence to CKNX Broadcast Ltd. in Wing -

ham, Ontario and surrounding commun- ities.

The station will be on 101.7 MHz with a radiated power of 22,000 watts.

CKNX owns CKNX-AM, Wingham, and CFPL-AM and FM in London. The licence,

which runs until March 31, 1980, specifies that the Wingham FM station must "provide a local programming service dinstintly

different from that provided by CFPL-FM."

Is there a spot for you on CBLT's Time For You?

With the appearance of 90 Minutes Live, the CBC network late -night talk show, local stations no longer have to program their own post -national -news time slots. The time and money saved is being used, by most stations, to beef up their local

morning programming. CBLT Toronto is introducing a daily 8:30-8:55 a.m. talk -entertainment show,

Time For You, which is set to present a popular music act every Thursday.

Time For You producer Laura Lowry told RPM that she is looking for guitar acts - soft jazz, folk and MOR - to play two songs and chat with host Wendy Strazdine. Lowry

wants to present acts that are playing in town the week they're on TV. She's already

13ooked Brian Way, Cathy Moses, and Marc Jordan. On Thursdays Lowry will present

local ethnic music.

CRTC to grant licence for French FM in N.B.

The CRTC is receiving applications for a licence to provide French -language radio service to northeastern New Brunswick.

Applications will be received until December 17, and the commission will announce time and place of a public hearing

where these applications will be considered.

But those time periodsare slotted by the network for local pro-gramming, and few local CBC stations canafford to pay live performers.

CBC's agreement with the A.F. of M.does not preclude selling the service toprivate broadcasters other than CBC affil-iates; but Bessey said, the corporation iswary of the reaction of private broadcastersand record companies if the service weremade available outside the CBC.

The Boss Brass LP is the first CBC broad-

cast recording leased to a private recordlabel since 1970. Up to that time recordcompanies had leased 34 recordings byartists like: Juliette, Bonnie Dobson, JimmyDale, and Johnny Burt to RCA; Jim Pixieto Capitol, Jerry Toth to Warner Brothers;Myrna Lorrie to MCA; and Milan Kymlickaand Guido Basso to Kanata.

Half of the CBC LPs pressed by privatelabels in the early days were recorded inCBC recording studios; half were recordedin private studios, mostly in Toronto.

Bessey said that the private deals werediscontinued because the record com-panies too often deleted the LPs too soon.

For artists the CBC recording deal hasbeen a good one; all contracts are for oneoccasion only, the CBC does not look forany of the publishing rights, and all artists

are guaranteed union -scale renumeration forall of their time in the studio.

The finished product gives any artista better -than -demo record and no obliga-tions to the CBC, Ron Nigrini taped his owncompositions on a CBC recording before hesigned with Attic Records. Shirley Eikhardcut a CBC record between contracts withCapitol and Attic Records.

To get the rights to a CBC recording therecord company has to pay a second fee toeach of the musicians who played in thesessions and provide the CBC with enoughcopies of the pressed LP for their purposesplus royalties on commercial sales. The nor-mal licencing deal is for five years.

There still are complaints about thequality of many of the CBC recordings -even though they are aired primarily on thelow -fidelity AM airwaves: and there arecomplaints from some CBC local -stationproducers about CBC's house rule that 40per cent of the music aired must be CBCproduced: taped for shows, broadcastlive, or taken from the broadcast recordingslibrary.

Attic's Tom Williams complained aboutthe CBC rules that forces CBC programmersto play, for example, broadcast recordingsof Ron Nigrini when there are better record-ings of the same songs now on the Atticlabel.

Williams added that though the CBCrecordings do play a valuable role in de-veloping Canadian recording talent - it atleast has shown some people the inside of arecording studio for the first time - the pro-gram and CBC's policy does restrict theaccess of . product of private record com-panies to their governments radio.

Hunter wants to provide more than juststudio recordings in the broadcast service.She feels there is an untapped wealth oflive performances to record, especially inToronto and Montreal, and she points tothe BBC concert transcription service asan example.

For an annual fee, the CBC, and anyother broadcaster (CHUM -FM subscribes tothe service, for example), can air half-hourand one -hour segments of concerts by someof the world's biggest stars, recorded by theBBC. As she was being interviewed by RPM,she was filing through a pile of these BBCrecords to find one to fill an upcoming openprogramming hour: Joni Mitchell and JamesTaylor; Pink Floyd; Jack Bruce with EricClapton, John Mayall, Ginger Baker andManfred Mann; Cat Stevens; etc.

In Toronto she recorded Ella Fitzgeraldat Massey Hall on two tracks, but hasn'tbeen able to clear the rights for a broadcastrecording. She also taped Joni Mitchell andLeonard Cohen, but the LP was never press-ed. AGNext week: Why record companies do so lit-tle promotion with CBC radio.

TRIBALDRUM

MONTREALCKGM has been into contest promotions

pretty heavily lately. During the LabourDay weekend, as we reported earlier, the

CKGM Montreal's Chuck Morgan (promo mgr) Tom I(PD) and Donnie Burns with Chicago after their successfu

TRIBAL DRUM continued from page 20station sponsored two major concerts - theBeach Boys and Chicago. It was called TheCKGM Summer of 98, and tickets and LPswere given away. The station's promotionmanager Chuck Morgan travelled with theBeach Boys on their tour before they playedMontreal, sending back 'progress reports'leading up to the magic Montreal date.These were in the form of on -air cut -instwice hourly of snips from several inter-views Morgan did with the group. Once intown, afternoon DJ Donnie Burns interview-ed them again just before the show. Thestation hosted an after -concert reception forthe band at The Wrong Number. One ofthe contest prizes was a chance to take 20friends to the show, and for four of them tomeet a couple of Beach Boys backstage.

Already the station is into their fallpromotion contest. Each hour the callerwho makes it through the switchboard atthe right time is given a lottery ticket andan LP. The caller is also asked to select oneof the four call letters. If he's guessed theright letter for that hour, he becomeseligible for the grand prize. That entails achauffeur -driven limousine to and fromwork every day for a week, and the intereston a one million dollar bank account. (Justone week's interest works out to about$2,000 at 10%.) Its called The MillionDollar Mission, and the draw takes placeOctober 15.

By the way, CKGM recently had thehonour of the North American premiere ofthe new LP by Stevie Wonder, Songs In TheWay Of Life, two days before any oneelse had their hands on it. For an artist ofsuch stature and an LP so long awaited,that's quite an accomplishment.GRAND FALLS

TRIBAL DRUM L

MONTREAL CKGM has been into contest promotions

pretty heavily lately. During the Labour Day weekend, as we reported earlier, the

CKGM Montreal's Chuck Morgan (promo mgr) Tom McLean (PD) and Donnie Burns with Chicago after their successful date.

TRIBAL DRUM continued from page 20 station sponsored two major concerts - the Beach Boys and Chicago. It was called The

CKGM Summer of 98, and tickets and LPs were given away. The station's promotion

manager Chuck Morgan travelled with the Beach Boys on their tour before they played

Montreal, sending back 'progress reports' leading up to the magic Montreal date. These were in the form of on -air cut -ins twice hourly of snips from several interviews Morgan did with the group. Once in town, afternoon DJ Donnie Bums interview-

ed them again just before the show. The station hosted an after -concert reception for

the band at The Wrong Number. One of the contest prizes was a chance to take 20

friends to the show, and for four of them to meet a couple of Beach Boys backstage.

Already the station is into their fall promotion contest. Each hour the caller

who makes it through the switchboard at the right time is given a lottery ticket and an LP. The caller is also asked to select one of the four call letters. If he's guessed the

right letter for that hour, he becomes eligible for the grand prize. That entails a

chauffeur -driven limousine to and from work every day for a week, and the interest

on a one million dollar bank account. (Just one week's interest works out to about

$2,000 at 10%.) Its called The Million Dollar Mission, and the draw takes place

October 15. By the way, CKGM recently had the

honour of the North American premiere of the new LP by Stevie Wonder, Songs In The

Way Of Life, two days before any one else had their hands on it. For an artist of

such stature and an LP so long awaited, that's quite an accomplishment.

GRAND FALLS Newfoundland has a tight little network

in the Colonial Broadcasting System Ltd. That includes CKCM Grand Falls, CKGA

Gander, and CKIM Baie Verte. Those three stations got together recently for a fund

raising benefit at the Flyers' Club in Gander, where they persuaded George Rowsell and

his band Thunder Country to perform gratis along with the house band Seven Years Later. Prizes were handed out which

included lighters with the stations' logos, movie passes and a trip to Montreal. All

this was given away for no cost because of

Beach Boy Carl Wilson (far left) and CKGM's Chuck Morgan (far right) with CKGM Beach Boys' concert winners.

the cooperation of the local businesses. Over $1,000 was raised, which is pretty good considering that the place only holds

285 and the whole town of Gander contains 14,000. All the money, which was the larg-

est sum ever raised by the station, was donated to the local chapters of the Canadi-

an Association of the Mentally Retarded. It must have been a good night for George

Rowsell and the band too, because they were presented by the station, with a gold record award for The Hooker, which the station's Roger Barnett explains, was a

great success out there. Since it was a charity show, the station couldn't afford a

real gold record award, so they baked a cake with gold record icing.

LONDON CJBK took advantage of Blood Sweat

& Tears' appearance in London with David Clayton -Thomas recently by doing a 20 - minute interview with Thomas for the

station's Dialogue program. They also gave away LPs and concert tickets and featured

BS&T music the day of the show. The station's largest contest promo may

seem familiar to Toronto residents, where a similar contest was a success for a station there. CJBK will be phoning London

residents at random every hour. If the phone is answered with the phrase, "have

a good day", which has been the station's favourite line for some time, the listener receives $129. If the listener can then say

the name of the last record played on the

CJBK London's Robin Geoffrey inter- viewing BS&T's David Clayton -Thomas.

station, they win $1,000. The station is promoting the contest heavily with a direct

mailing campaign. So far, 89,701 mailers have been sent, containing a reminder you can stick on your telephone dial.

AMHERST Paul Kennedy reports from CKDH that

RCA's Mercey Brothers toured through the Maritimes recently. They stopped off at

Halifax, Lunenburg, Charlottetown, and Amherst. "Generally the comments from

concert goers concerning the Mercey's live shows were favourable. Larry, Lloyd, and Ray did 'em all from Uncle Tom to Old Loves Never Die," says Kennedy.

MOOSE JAW The Bay City Rollers performed in Regina this summer, and the guys at CHAB Moose Jaw took advantage of the, fact. They arranged for a motor cavalcade from

Regina to the station where about 600 fans waited. The street was blocked off for the event. The Springs Of Heather Girls'

Pipe Band accompanied them with more traditional Scottish music into the studio,

where the Rollers songs were featured, live interviews were done and phones were

opened up for questions from fans. They stayed about two hours, and promotion

manager Jack Ross says "This was the super climax to a successful pre -concert

promotion which included giving away autographed Bay City Rollers pictures, TRIBAL DRUM continued on page 27

During the C.N.E.they held a series of Summertime Fun Con-tests, in which tickets were given away forNeil Sedaka, the Beach Boys, and FrankieValli. The biggies for the contest, though,were the Scottish World Festival and John-ny Cash, because not only tickets weregiven away, but hotel accommodations inToronto and prize money was awarded forthose two C.N.E. performances.

Then there was a regular giveaway overthe Labour Day weekend in cooperationwith TeeVee Records, which involvedfree tickets, LPs, posters and tee shirts."The promotion produced excellent audi-ence response," says Art.

More recently one of the CJIC "No -Stars" slow pitch team's best games wasplayed against Gary and Dave's team. "Aseven -run rally in the last inning gave theNo -Stars a 13-12 victory, and the first de-feat for Gary & Dave - or so they tell us,"says Art. The losers provided the prizes in acontest which was run in conjunction withthe game, which included dinner for twoand plane rides. (Gary and Dave started aspilots, remember?)BR IDGEVVATER

. Three strikes and you're

out. My wife beat me in court this morning. Tennis was never my game. My wife's sister came from Vancouver,

B.C. I wonder how far B.C.?
