Whiledetails of the increase had notbeen transmitted at press time, anexecutive at ABC speculated thatthe increase will take effect shortly,and that the next Three Dog Nightsingle could possibly be the firstrecord brought out at the higherprice.

ABC Ups Singles Price to $1.29;

Other Companies Expected to FollowBy GARY COHEN

LOS ANGELES - ABC/Dunhill NEW YORK-The entire recordRecords has announced its inten- industry, on both the manufactur-

ing and distributor/rack jobber/one-stop/retail levels, last weekstudied ABC's announcement ofits intention to raise singles pricesto $1.29 list. Manufacturers werewatching one another to seewhich would be the next to followABC's lead. At press time, therehad been no further announce-ments, but speculation rose thatsome increases would be an-nounced in the next few weeks.

Similarly, the nation's distribu-tors, rack jobbers, one -stops andretailers were watching closelyto see if the price spread betweenretailers and subdistributors wouldbe increased. Again, there wereunconfirmed rumors indicating thatpossibility.

AnalysisBased on conversations with all

segments of the record industry,Record World has assembled thefollowing analysis of the priceincrease situation:

. A number of manufacturershave indicated that further in-creases will be announced insingles prices, with the majorsonly waiting ''for the dust tosettle" before making announce-ments of their own. Those in-creases, it is believed, will haveto come in the next 30 days, orABC, if they were the only labelto announce an increase, mightbe forced to rescind their action.

. The $1.29 figure should stillpermit singles to be sold in storesfor $1 or less. While the increasein list price amounts to 30 percent,the increases in wholesale pricewill not be that high, and willallow each segment of the businessa greater margin. Sources believethat the new wholesale prices willbe approximately in the high 50's/low 60's for subdistributors, the


Tentative CostsFor $1.29 SinglesAt press time Record World learnedthat the tentative new price for $1.29singles would be 58 cents for sub -distributors and 65 cents for retailers.Both figures are an approximate in-crease of ten cents over previousprices.

'Penny' Promo ProfitsSam Goody Chain

By GARY COHEN

NEW YORK-With a nationwideshortage of pennies hampering allretailers, including record retail-ers, the Sam Goody chain in NewYork has come up with a planthat has succeeded in reducingthe firm's penny problem whileacting as a valuable promotionto help draw customers into thechain's stores. The idea, simply,is that every customer who bringsin 100 pennies receives a creditslip worth $1.50.

So far, the chain has receivedover $10,000 in pennies, accordingto president and founder SamGoody. The promotion, in all ofthe Goody stores, has been goingon for two weeks and will prob-ably continue for two more.Goody, in addition to getting pen-nies for their own change, hasbeen selling the pennies to a bankfor $1.09. There is no limit onthe amount of pennies a customercan bring in, and Goody terms thepromotion "very successful."

In a related development, as afurther result of the penny short-age, some record retailers havereported changing their sellingprices, so that after tax is addedto the purchase price, the finalfigure ends in a five or zero. InNew York City, for example, wheretax is seven percent, stores arecharging $3.74 (with tax, fourdollars even), $3.97 (with tax,$4.25 and $4.95 (with tax, $5.30)instead of $3.71, $3.99 or $4.99,respectively.

DIAL GUETHE VIEWPOINTS OF THE INDUSTRY

Shep Gordon on the Rock Star as EntertainerBy IRA MAYER

i As manager of Alice Cooper,head of Alive Enterprises, Inc.and co-founder with Joe Gannonof an environmental productioncompany for live concerts, ShepGordon exercises a keen percep-tion of the pop market. In thisDialogue, Gordon discusses thefilm "Good To See You AgainAlice Cooper," which opens June12 in Binghamton, New York (acity which banned Cooper's liveperformances), the need for re-cord company recognition andsupport of full scale productionelements in rock concerts, and themovement toward an awarenessof the role of a rock star as anentertainer.

Shep Gordon

Record World: When you last spoke with us, you talked of trying toget people to "hate" Alice for shock value. I think you've gone beyondthat at this point. Now Alice is accepted and so I would assume thatwould affect future shows, live and for the film. A different attitude, witha different purpose in mind.

Gordon: Yes, basically because of the times. I don't believe Alice is100 percent the cause of it, but now it's a whole different social struc-ture, social acceptance. The things that we were doing five years ago,that we were hated for, have now become socially accepted. You cando them on TV, you can do them anywhere. "The Exorcist" is basicallyan extension of what we were doing on stage. It was the biggest movieof the year and not just with kids. So all the things that were the premiseof Alice have now become the norm.

Now it's up to us to take it to the next step, in just about every areain terms of stage production. At the time when we were doing stageproduction everyone said "Are you kidding? Music is music. You're notsupposed to move." Now it seems to be just the opposite. Now if agroup doesn't have a stage production, everyone says, "Wow, what abore." And everyone is now trying to outdo everything that was done.

The next step for us, now that it's the accepted norm, now thatpeople understand it, is to turn it into true entertainment. Entertainmentin terms of old show biz. Of living out everyone's fantasies. In otherwords, the first step seemed to be shock in terms of "we can tell theworld about our fantasies, no reason why we can't." If we have a fantasyabout getting guillotined, let's tell the world about it. Now everybodytells the world about their fantasies in their stage shows, or tries to-whether it's a beautiful thing like a Gregg Allman tour, his fantasy ofsouthern trees, beautiful mornings. For us, it's at the point where we nolonger have to shock people to present a fantasy. For example, Alicewith Groucho. That's something that four or five years ago we couldn'tdo because nobody was ready to accept it. That's as much of a fantasyfor Alice as getting guillotined on stage was. l think it's a fantasy thatevery kid would like to live out.

RW: The violent end of it is working it's way out, even thoughGroucho was violent in a way too.

Gordon: Exactly. But in a different sort of way. Four or five years ago,if you were a kid, you could never admit you liked anything yourparents liked. You just couldn't do it. Now, because of Alice, becauseof things like Alice, just because of the times and the way things change,now the kids are able to accept what their parents like, and everybodycan live out the same fantasies. And hopefully, the old kind of Holly-wood can start coming back in.

Everyone is starting to realize there's no difference between Alice onstage and Frank Sinatra on stage, except for what they do. I think therewas a fear of rock and roll, even within the industry itself. No onethought it was legitimate. They felt it was something that would comeand go. And now it's been accepted-because of the quality of what'sbeing done, because of the acceptance of the rock and roll industry,

because it is entertainment and you have to entertain people and alsobecause of the type of personalities that are being developed. Grouchomade a remark once which I think, as a matter of fact, I read in RecordWorld, where he said that the last hope of vaudeville is Alice Cooper.

RW: And that's where the production company with Joe Gannon fitsin?

Gordon: There are certain ways of going on a tour, or launching anact after a record. One way is to just play the music. The second way isto take the essence of what the act is doing and translate it on stage ina way that fulfills the needs of the audience. And that's basically thepurpose of the company.

RW: The reverse role of the studio producer.Gordon: Exactly the reverse. For example, the Gregg Allman show.

We know that when people come to a Gregg Allman show they'recoming there to hear the music. For the beauty of the music. When Ithink of the Allman Brothers, Gregg Allman, I think in terms of reallysitting back in my chair and listening to a beautiful, melodic show. Soin our attempt to stage that show, it was to reinforce that feel. We didthat by putting trees all around, putting the right kind of lighting behindGregg to add to that feel. And in a sense to make it more commercial.To fulfill the need more. It's understanding a need and then puttingsomething around it, that makes that feeling come alive. People canuse their eyes as well as their ears.

I think the bottom line of entertainment, the job of the peoplearound the entertainer is to minimize the gamble . . . no performercan be on every night, there's no performer ever who's been onevery single night. If it's just the performer on a bare -stage and hehas a bad night, the audience doesn't get off. The job of the peoplearound him, the manager, the producer, is to build an environmentaround him that works unto itself. So that if a performer has an offnight the audience still gets off. If the entertainer has a great night ittakes him that much higher. That's really the purpose of the company,to build an environment around each act so that if a performer has theworst night of his life, the audience still has something it can enjoy.

RW: The last time you spoke to Record World, just about a year anda half ago, the "Alice at the Palace" idea had just fallen through. Nowwe've had Mott the Hoople on Broadway.

Gordon: Exactly. And that is a direct reflection of what we just talkedabout, and I think it's really healthy for the industry. Rock can become,in a sense, a continuing art form. Obviously there are always going tobe people in rock and roll, as there are people in movies, who are goingto say, "No, we're not entertainers, this is true art." But there is now amajority of people in rock and roll who understand what their purposeis-to entertain an audience. And once they understand that you canseparate the two ... I think that's what's helped make the whole thingcredible. I know the Stones have an offer from Vegas. We had an offerfrom Vegas. It's interesting in a sense because I think it's the first timethat the two generations have started to merge, at the same time.

"The record company still doesn't under-stand the thing of 'entertainer.' They wantto hear what the next album's going to be."

F tu 11 11 1 1 1 1 1111 1111111111111 11 1 1 1 1 11111111111111111111

RW: There still comes the matter of records versus live music. Youget someone like a Bob Ezrin who now says "I don't want to work withpeople who don't really know how to make music anymore." And thenyou get the other side which says "I want to adapt this and make therecord express what comes over on stage." You're going into film tomake Alice more viable. That would presumably be the medium rightbetween the two. How do the three separate media relate to eachother and to Alice?

Gordon: Musically I don't see as much of a blending as I do on apersonal level. In other words, in the same way that I couldn't get intoa record by a Lawrence Welk, I can appreciate what he is as an enter-tainer. I think that works both ways. I don't particularly see fifty-fiveyear old people going out buying Alice's records. It's different times,

THE C 'MSTBy CRAIG FISHER

MULTIPLE NEWSFRONTS: The past week's newsemanated from diverse metropolises. New York,of course, was one of them. Word from there wasthat, in addition to securing original cast albumrights to Broadway's "The Magic Show," CliveDavis has begun his tenure at Bell by signinga singer -songwriter, Richard Supa. And back here,Lou Adler remarked that the business world,at least, was pleased with the Davis appoint-ment. "You noticed the stock market went up

the day it was announced," Mr. Adler was reported to have said . . .

Also here, Ringo Starr cancelled his planned recording sessions withRichard Perry and flew to London Tuesday last, to attend to what weredescribed as "personal matters." He's set to return at the end of thismonth, and Tony King will be accompanying him . . Also in the U.K.,filming continues on the movie version of "Tommy," and Pete Towns-hend has written at least three new songs for the flick . . . In Paris,meantime, Bette Midler is still vacationing. Miss M should go into thestudio again within two months, however, and some heavies are saidto have expressed interest in producing her, like Paul Simon, DavidBowie, Elton John and Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson . . . Backhere again, the Troubadour will be the site of what should prove to betwo interesting evenings Monday and Tuesday. Phil Ochs is to appearthere, once more for the benefit of Chilean refugees, and Doug Westonis set to share the stage with him ... At A&M, offices are being readiedfor Dark Horse Records. George Harrison and company, reportedly,will move in November . . . Steppenwolf has signed with Mums.The label says it's looking for material . . . Bobby Womack's Hot Bar-becue Sauce-rumor is that Mr. Womack sold the idea for it for wellinto six figures-should debut from Best Foods later this month . . .

Back in New York once more, after a week of recording, George Segal hasjust about finished his first album for Flying Dutchman-inimitablevocalizing, banjo -playing and all. One night Harry Nilsson dropped byto visit, and he got so absorbed contributing background vocals that heJailed to show up at his own session ... The week of the 24th is the newrelease date for that Bob Dylan/Band package-delayed, according toElektra/Asylum, so that both album and tape could ship at the same time.

MAKING RECORDS: The Beau Brummels went into the studio herelast week. Warners will have the album, which Ted Templeman isproducing . . . Sarah Kernochan came back to town. She's recordingnow with Nick Venet producing, and also, she says, planning to cut a

single with Harry Nilsson sometime next month . . . Redbone's next isunderway at Devonshire Studios. "Beaded Dreams Through TurquoiseEyes" it's to be called. Pat and Lolly Vegas a re co -producing it, andit's scheduled for release late next month . . . Also at Devonshire,Terry Garthwaite began recording with Michael Stewart at the controls.This one, it appears, will be on UA . . . Definitely for UA, and forAugust, is the album Vernon Burch is cutting at Angel City Sound. TomWilson is producing this one . . . At the group's Ruedi Valley Ranch inMissouri, David Anderle and Glyn Johns began co -producing the OzarkMountain Daredevils' next last week . . . In Miami, at Criteria Studios,King Biscuit Boy has been playing harp for the Electric Flag. He'll prob-ably also do some dates with them when they're finished . . . LarryGatlin is recording in Nashville. Fred Foster is producing . . . TheManhattans are at Sigma Sound in Philadelphia, with Mickey Eichnerserving as executive producer, while Bobby Martin is at the controls. . . Dave Brubeck went into New York's C.I. Studios last week tobegin his next for Atlantic ... Jerry Wexler is in Muscle Shoals, workingwith the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section as he produes Donny Fritts'first for Atlantic. Fritts used to be with Kris Kristofferson's band, and healso played a small part in "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid." Sitting in onthese sessions have been Mr. Kristofferson, Rita Coolidge, John Prineand Tony Joe White . . . Bill Szymczyk is set to produce WishboneAsh's next beginning July 8 at Criteria . . . And among upcoming re-leases which seem germane here are Joe Walsh's "No One CanSee You When Your Eyes Are Closed" (he produced it himself), duein early July, and "James Gang Miami," due late this month.

IN GROUP NEWS: Jackie Lomax and Kim Gardner are in town, hop-ing, they say, to put together a Los Angeles band. The group wouldprobably be called White Lady . . . In injuries: a half -dollar -sized baldspot, where stitches were made, was, fortunately, the only consequence


Sol Rabino witz:

The Pop World Goes InternationalBy ROBERTA SKOPP

NEW YORK - The Americancharts and airwaves have been re-cently invaded by a variety of musicfrom all corners of the world, andthis influx is particularly visible toSol Rabinowitz, a music businessveteran who, for the past sixyears has helmed CBS Records In-ternational, for which he supervisesthe music publishing and a&r divi-sions worldwide. In a recent inter-view with Record World, Rabino-witz discussed, from his vantagepoint the changes in music on aninternational level.

'Established Styles'Rabinowitz feels that American

and British music had previouslybeen "the only universal music inthe past, other countries had beencopying those established styles,original material is now being gen-erated, and these countries havebeen getting progressively moresophisticated and distinctive by ourpop standards. Proof positive canbe found by one glance at TheSingles Chart, with strong showingsfrom Blue Swede, ABBA andGolden Earring, and by checkingout the FM Airplay Report, whereNektar and Tasavallan Presidentti,among others, are causing quite astir.

"No longer are poor copies ofAmerican/British material being pro-duced," continued Rabinowitz."Rather they have become commer-cial in their own right. Holland, 4

very musical country, was one ofthe first to sell outside of its ownboundaries-with groups like BlueMink, Golden Earring and Focusoriginating there." Rabinowitz be-lieves that Holland became a cen-ter of creative activity for world-wide acceptance largely becauseEnglish is a strong second languagethere.

Foreign language records are stillvery difficult to sell in any foreignmarket, Rabinowitz emphasized,but are more readily acceptable inEurope where speaking several lan-guages is commonplace. Here,where English is the predominantlanguage, foreign language records,unless extraordinarily ear -catchingwill not sell. Because of this factor,Rabinowitz reports that product isnow being recorded in English inevery country in the wad: "Eng-lish is the best language for singingcontemporary pop music, musicianstell me."

In addition to his internationalresponsibilities, Rabinowitz' func-tions include releasing foreign prod-uct here that he feels has strongcommercial potential. "More andmore artists are making records that

Steve Barri: At Home LOS ANGELES - ABC Records'head of a&r oversees a creativestaff of producers who handle thechores for the company, whilebeing immersed himself in theproducer's role (with acts like BoDonaldson & the Heywoods, theFour Tops, Bobby Bland and FreshStart). While others with his trackrecord (many million sellers forthe Grass Roots and Tommy Roe)have opted for the independentproducer role, Steve Barri sees thein-house atmosphere as a plus inthe hit -making process.

"The advantages for me," he says"and for the other people here, arethat because of the over-all imageof the company, I think you get anopportunity at acts that you mightnot get if you were an independentproducer. We're developing some-thing here like the old Hollywoodstudios with their company signa-ture. We just have to make surethat we don't get into a rut withthe people we're producing. That'sthe only disadvantage, and I'vechecked that by challenging myselfwith a variety of acts in the record-ing studio.

"The Grass Roots and TommyRoe were very successful, and manypeople thought 'That's his bag: hedid that one thing.' That's whywhen the opportunity to cut theFour Tops came along, I jumpedat it . . . I was influenced to a cer-tain degree because of hearing the

Tops in the past."Although in all honesty, when

we went in to record them, the ideawas to move them into some newdirections." The act's soundachieved on current charter "OneChain Don't Make No Prison"seems to prove the validity of thatparticular assertion.

Having worked with the Tops, itwas a natural thing to delve furtherinto blues with Bobby Bland. Barricomments: "He was a great changeof pace in the studio. All of a sud-den, I was getting very heavily intodoing r&b things which is music I

love. And when the Heywoods cameto the label, I felt it might be a goodthing to go back and do lighterthings." So whether it's the rawnessof "Goin' Down Slow," or thehappy -sad top 40 quality of "BillyDon't Be a Hero," Barri is at home.

Although Barri and his staff areconstantly going to clubs to catchnew talent in its formative stages, he

CONCERT REVIEW

Bassey CaptivatesCarnegie Crowd CARNEGIE HALL, NYC - Forfour nights in late May and earlyJune, Shirley Bassey (UA) hadthem giving her standing ovationsbefore she had sung a note. Be-fore a family -oriented Saturdayevening crowd (1), the Englishchanteuse proved she could easilytake total control of an audiencefor almost two hours, withouteither the traditional intermissionor the seemingly obligatory "Gold -finger" performance.

After a short set by the thirty -plus piece orchestra assembled intown for her appearances, Ms.Bassey wafted onto the stage in ared -sequined outfit that lookedlike it had been designed by onewhose own ancestry was halfmermaid and half belly dancer.Outrageously effective, the gasp -provoking outfit worked on torchsongs like "All the Sad YoungMen" as well as on the hip -shakerslike "Big Spender" which shestrutted through twice in rapidsuccession.

Non -Stop MusicWhile she cautiously left "Gold -

finger" out of her program, shedid sing other hits from herpast including "This Is MyLife," "Never, Never, Never" and"Something." Instead of one longintermission, she periodically leftthe stage for short breaks duringwhich time the audience screamedfor more until that more wasbrought back to them. Her finalencore, "Danke Schoen," was amost fitting farewell to an audi-ence that couldn't have been moreappreciative if they had been asea of felines and she a carload ofcatnip.

Ms. Bassey's loyal fans alsoshowered her with hundreds of flowersand were treated to a diverse repertoirethat included mention of her currentUnited Artists single, "Davey," and herforthcoming album, "Nobody Does It LikeMe."

jobber stated as he reiterated com-ments made at the meeting. "Itcosts 20 percent to open yourdoors. We need a greater pricedifferential to compete with theretailer." The average differentialtoday is approximately 61/2 per-cent, down from 10 percent, henoted, and he surmised there waslittle chance for the differential tobe raised to 15 percent. "But youcan see our problem-we sellrecords to our account for around$3.50, and it's difficult to competewith the retailer who buys for$3.10 or $2.85."

The retailers, however, ex-pressed an opposite view, askingthat they be sold at the same priceas rack jobbers, and that all differ-entials be abolished: "We've gotall sorts of expenses, personnelexpenses, people on the payroll,"etc. "We've got the same expensesand should get the same price."

The retailers and jobbers ex-pressed views on the $6.98 list.Retailers said there was minimalnegative effect on superstar orestablished artists, but warnedmanufacturers not to go $6.98across-the-board. The consensusof the jobbers, however, was thatthere would be no ill effect ifmanufacturers increased their en-tire catalogues to $6.98.

Both sides reportedly agreedthat the move to $1.29 for singleswould have a positive effect onthe industry, but they simultane-ously saw a need to keep theretail price under a dollar. It waspointed out, however, that inlocations where sales tax is col-lected, the price is already overa dollar. But both manufacturerand retailing/ subdistributing sidesview the increase as a way to makethe single profitable to manufac-turers and profitable to sell. Theretailers and subdistributors alsoexpressed the hope that their mar-gin on singles would be increased.

War, EW&F Explode

At Nassau ColiseumI NASSAU COLISEUM, N. Y. -Pulsating rhythms driven by Latinovertones penetrated Nassau'shuge Coliseum recently (29) whenWar (UA) and Earth, Wind & Fire(Columbia) shared the bill.

Although War was the headlin-ing act, Earth Wind & Fire's exhu-berance, tightness and overwhelm-ing desire to entertain the audi-ence also brought them into thespotlight. The ensemble had theiract totally together, coordinatingthe audio and visual effects to aperfectly precisioned timing. Theirspecial blend of jazz, rock, r&band Latin influences kept the audi-ence moving and the fast -paced,high-energy level that they at-tained didn't let down for a sec-ond. Musical highlights of theirset included the slower-tempoedtitle track of their second album,"Head to The Sky," which seguedinto a well -harmonized trackfrom their "Open Our Eyes" al-bum, "Devotion."

EW&F's visuals, although notnovel in that they've been donebefore by hard rock groups (e.g.Emerson, Lake & Palmer), wereeffectively performed and fan-tastically received. At one pointsmoke exploded and the bassist,

had been focusedupon, was drawn up into the air.Later, towards the end of theirsuperior set, a fog machine wentoff and the keyboardist, with hisinstrument, performed somersaultsrhythmically coordinated with themusic. Terrific!

War, which performed a skillful,professional set, didn't quite meetthe standard previously set on-stage by EW&F. Palpitatingrhythms, propelled by Lee Oscar'ssoulful harp playing, elicitedstrong audience response on theirmore renowned selections: thepulsating "Gypsy Man," their hitsong "Cisco Kid," the bluesy "TheWorld Is a Ghetto" and the Latin -oriented "Slippin' Into Darkness."

CLUB REVIEW

Pointers' AnniversaryMI NEW YORK-Opening night atthe Empire Room in the WaldorfAstoria (30) marked the first an-niversary in "Show Biz" for thePointer Sisters (Blue Thumb). Theyear, a successful one by anyone'sstandards, saw a top five single anda top 10 album for the quartetfrom Oakland.

Orchestra and Quartet

Ably abetted by Bob Rosen -garden and his orchestra and theirown quartet, the Pointer Sisterssoulfully and jazzily boogiedthrough their own renditions ofsome truly grand favorites. Open-ing the set was their recent singlefrom the "That's a Plenty" album"Steam Heat" followed by theDizzy Gillespie and K. Clark tune"Salt Peanuts."

A brilliant accomplishment wasthe performance of a self penned'country tune' entitled "Fairy Tale."Somewhat different from theirusual sound, the song had a countrytwang and knee slappin' gospelflavor that capitvated the sophisti-cated Waldorf audience. The othersong written by the Sisters was"Shakey Flat Blues" a slinky bluesnumber depicting the ups anddowns of living in the city.

First and Second Albums

Other numbers deserving men-tion, mostly from the second al-bum, were "Love In Them ThereHills," a Charleston Rag, "That's aPlenty" and, especially noteworthy,"Little Poney." From the first albumcame "Old Songs," and their hitsingle of last year, "Yes We CanCan."

A dynamic and spectaculargroup, the Pointer Sisters are im-mensely diversified in their talents,as proved in their scat -singing andimprovising throughout the in-credibly enjoyable set.

CLUB REVIEW

Ashford & Simpson:'Waves of Delight' NEW YORK - Rarely do song -writing, singing and entertainingtalents make as strong a combina-tion as when Nickolas Ashford andValerie Simpson (WB) take to thestage-as they did for four nightsrecently (13-16) at the BottomLine.

With a decade of Motown hitsto their credit (they've written forDiana Ross, Marvin Gaye andTammi Terrell, Gladys Knight andthe Pips and a host of others), thepair have most of their set readymade for them. They offer medleysas well as full renditions of suchsure -to -be standards as "Ain't NoMountain High Enough," "You'reAll I Need," and "I Need Some-body." And while each takes a

brief solo segment in the course ofthe set (backed by an excellentquintet and two vocalists), they areat their strongest singing together,shooting energy at each other andsending waves of delight throughtheir audiences.

'Preview'

Previewing their second albumby performing two or three songsfrom it, including their new single"Mainline," they closed out with apowerful version of "Gimme Some-thing Real." Ashford and Simpsonare more than something real,though, and it shouldn't be longbefore their popular success is as

strong for their live performancesas it has been for their writingefforts.

Opening the show was RobinKenyatta (Atlantic) playing a lyrical,well -tempered jazz set.

CONCERT REVIEW

Triumphant Return for Marvin GayeIN LOS ANGELES - Marvin Gaye'shigh, seductive tenor voice and hishypnotic, sweetly ululant songshave probably steamed up morelate -night parties - with dancerswrithing singly or pressed close to-gether-than the work of any otherMotown artist; and when Gayemade his first local appearance insix years last month (17) at theForum, it was not hard to imagineall the sweat and other bodilylubricants his records must havegenerated themselves filling the vastarena to the brim. But despite hislong absence from performing (andno doubt partly because of it), Gayehad obviously had no trouble at-tracting an audience. There wereover 19,000 people at the Forumthat night, and wiat they witnessedwas, for Gaye, a personal triumph.

Looking somewhat overweight,wearing white, rhinestoned overallsover a white T-shirt and carrying ared knit cap, Gaye seemed slightlynervous as he first took the stage,following sets by Bottom and Com-pany (also Motown) and Redbone(Epic). This audience hardly neededto be wooed, however - they'dgone crazy when Gaye's brothercame out to introduce him-and ashis performance progressed, he vis-ibly eased and began to reveal anextraordinary presence and charm.Though scarcely looking the sexsymbol, he had only to move to theedge of the stage for the nearestfemale members of the audience torush forward, but he didn't appearto be coldly calculating thesemoves. Rather, he acted good-hu-mored about it all, even slightlysatirical.

BRING AD FOR DISCOUNT: Marilyn Lipsius, who purchased theBitter End coffeehouse from Fred Weintraub last March, has found her-self "too much involved in the business of negotiating and too littlein the creative side of working with acts," and has placed the clubup for sale. In a telephone interview, she pointed out that the clubhad been in a "six month period of decline" when she took it over.Having since found that a complete overhaul of concept would benecessary, to remain in business (i.e. a different kind of booking policyand acquisition of a liquor license, among other things), she was, atpress time, planning to put an off-Broadway show in the room for thesummer in the hope of selling it by fall. The club will remain openfor the next few weeks.

SLICK AND IN FULL COLOR: Bruce Pollack is handling editorialchores for Contemporary Music, a new magazine scheduled to debutin September. The magazine is to be given out free at record stores,and Pollack hopes to build the issues around concepts rather thanindividual features.

ROLE CALL: Bob Sarlin has been appointed head of publicity atEpic, taking over for Penny Ross. Sarlin, whose book "Turn It Up (ICan't Hear the Words)" created some controversy earlier this year forits anaylses of rock lyrics and lyricists, will also be teaching a fallcourse at the New School-"The Song Poets."


was superb. His set was disappoint-ingly short, just over an hour, buthe managed to squeeze in "TroubleMan," "Mercy, Mercy Me," "InnerCity Blues," "Keep Gettin' It On,""Let's Get It On" and a medley ofsome of his older hits before clos-ing, in peak form, with "What'sGoin' On." Throughout, he wasbacked more than ably by GenePage, conducting a 32 -piece orches-tra, and by a four -man vocal groupwhom he introduced as Ladies'Choice. They were okay as singers,but too distracting doing that lowcamp hand -jive choreography forthe entire set. At one point, to em-phasize Lord knows what lyric,damned if they didn't, all four inunison, mime rocking babies intheir arms.

Steve Barri(Continued from page 11)

doesn't feel that "theatricality" perse, or even simple stage presence isnecessarily a key to success: "Thegroup's image is more important to-day but the studio is still the gov-erning factor. There are some actsthat you get involved with thatmay not be a great in -person act,but you know that they are verystrong in recording and they can sella lot of records."

Hit -maker

"Knowing" has helped the Brook-lyn -born songwriting partner of P. F.Sloan ("Eve of Destruction," "SecretAgent Man," "You Baby") becomea multi -faceted hit -maker with a

most enviable position both in-house at ABC's Los Angeles base ofoperations, and throughout the in-dustry in general.

Roxy Music & Sharks Attract Academy Cult ACADEMY OF MUSIC, NYC-The normally obnoxious Academyof Music patron must have beensomewhere else when Roxy Musicand Sharks played here (1). Eventhe guy who yells "Whippin' Post!"at least five times per act didn'tshow up. These two British rockbands have a following quite in-dependent of the "boogiebops"who normally populate the hall.

Roxy MusicRoxy Music (Atco) headlined a

rather uneven evening of creativejuice and noise intermingled. Ondisc, the fact that the group's soundhangs in the netherworld 'twixt tac-tile boogie and cerebral slush worksto their unique advantage. Onstage however, Byran Ferry seemsto be a genius his band has troublefollowing. Especially missed is

Eno; the new synthesizer player ishardly his equal, as the band'srather lackluster performance of"Virginia Plane" indicated. Butother songs from their latest album"Stranded" fared better, particularly"Street Life" and "Mother of Pearl."And previews of Bryan Ferry's up-coming solo album (waftingthrough the sound system duringintermission) seem to indicate thatthe group's lead singer is going tomake it here in the States. Roxy'shard-core fans enjoyed it all, but forthe most part, one land's mania re-mains another country's cult.

Sharks

More successful live wereSharks (MCA). They performedsongs from their first album ("FirstWater") as well as their recent andmore adventurous "Jab It in YoreEye" package. Lead vocalist Snipstwirls around the stage like a manhalf -crazed, half -introverted. Whilehis eyes gleam with the same kindof r&r eeriness that makes LouReed such a favorite, his voice ismore akin to a cross between LeeMichaels umph and Burton Cum-mings tremelo.

RADIO W RLDEDITOR: BEVERLY MAGID

KMET: A Viable Alternative LOS ANGELES - AlthoughMetromedia is a large broadcastingcompany with all the ramificationsof any corporation, it has in itsfold some of the last vestiges ofmajor market progressive -typeradio. In New York it's WNEW-FM,in San Francisco it's KSAN-FM, inPhiladelphia it's WMMR-FM andin Los Angeles it's KMET-FM.

"Some people have complainedthat we've copped out a bit," ex-plained KMET PD Mikel Hunter,"but AM radio has been changingeven more in the last few years incatching up to FM, and if the gaphas been narrowing it's comingfrom both sides." Hunter maynostalgically remember the dayswhen a station could conquer awhopping big share of the market,like the times of KFWB and ChuckBlore, but he realistically knowsthat today you have to concentrateon smaller numbers and demo-graphics. "Numbers are importantin keeping business on the air,and the station financially success-ful," he states. "After all, if you'renot profitable and stay on the air,you don't have much of a chanceto be creative."

Competitive MarketKMET's ratings have not placed

them at the very top of the pileof all the stations in LA, but Hun-ter's hope is that as all the otherstations become more stylized bybeing "predictably unpredictable,"KMET could become everyone'ssecond choice. "At one time, LAwas not considered to have a lotof good radio, but now it's a

strongly competitive market. KLOSis put together well, doing for al-bums what KHJ did for singles. I

always had the feeling that KLOSand KMET would be splitting up

NBC Radio NetworkReadies Concert Series NEW YORK - The NBC Net-work has announced that a seriesof eight music specials, recordedlive in concert, will be broadcaston more than 200 radio stations oneight consecutive Sundays this sum-mer. The concert series is beingsponsored by the Lee Company,and is being called the "Lee JeansSuperjam Concerts."

The concerts, hosted by NBC'sDon Imus, continue the radio con-certs begun by NBC in 1972. Artiststo be featured on the eight weekseries include Sha Na Na, the Car-penters, Three Dog Night, GladysKnight & The Pips, Glen Campbell,Roberta Flack, Tony Orlando &Dawn and the DeFranco Family.

the FM audience, now suddenlythe FM dial has filled right up.KKDJ has done a lot for FM, sortof like a stereo KHJ, very excitingand drawing a lot of people to FM.Even KDAI is really cooking andsmoking. Well, I would like ourstation to be the one that every-one turns to when they want some-thing different. They all knowwhat to expect with the other sta-tions, and we want to get thepeople who perhaps have grown upwith KHJ, are into rock and rolland want to hear a wider variety-sort of the middle of the roadof the seventies."

Musical AwarenessTo do that musically means

playing albums that perhaps youmight not hear on other stations,but Hunter wants to remain verymuch aware of what the audienceis into musically. All abums arescreened by MD Richard Kimball,who advises the staff of their pos-sibilities. They all have a week tolisten to it all and cast their vote.Sales and phone requests are alsotaken into consideration, but fit-ting into the sound of the stationis more important than just a

disc's track record. "Of course,"as Hunter pointed out, "sometimeswe miss a few, and then we haveto go back and listen again." Buthe's proud of the station's part inbreaking artists in the LA area,such as Robin Trower. "We cer-tainly don't intentionally go outwith the idea of breaking someone,but we broadcast a KSAN concerton Trower, got no great response,repeated it, played his albums, andhad him do a live concert for us.That kind of thing fulfills what wewant to do - the exposure ofmusic."

But music is not the only thingthat the station wants to be in-volved in: "Our plans always seemso grandiose because accomplish-ments are always slow, but wewant to serve the community as


Sklar, Morgan Upped NEW YORK - It has been an-nounced that Rick Sklar has beennamed director of program devel-opment for ABC -owned AM sta-tions, a position previously held byRobert E. Henabery. Henabery hasleft to form a general service com-pany which will conduct program-ming and management seminarsfor stations, networks and otherradio -related companies. GlennMorgan, Sklar's assistant, has beennamed program director forWABC-AM.

LISTENING P STBy BEVERLY MAGID

KROQ-AM-FM (Burbank) . . . As reported lastweek, PD Shadoe Stevens, as well as Dana Jones,China Smith and Jimmy Rabbitt have resigned. Ste-vens reluctantly tendered his resignation due to thechronic cash problems the station had been suffer-ing. Although as both he and vp Gary Bukasta re-ported the station was now billing more than ithad in its entire history, the state had put a lien onall income because of past debts. Unfortunately,through a misunderstanding, nervous engineers

pulled the plug on the AM and FM power during an on -the -air good-bye party held during Steven's last shift. Bukasta reports that newmonies and credit are forthcoming and he hopefully wants to be ableto re -hire everyone. Meanwhile, Stevens is forming a production com-pany and Larry Woodside, Johnny Darrin, Brother John and Greg Shan-non are carrying on for KROQ, with Harry Doug Brown's show in themornings. The format remains unchanged, since the station was sohappy with Stevens' programming, but the "Flo and Eddie Show" willbe switching to another station, not yet announced.

KILT -FM (Houston) . . . No replacement has been named for ChuckDunaway who has left to be program director at KIKX in Tuscon.

KLEO (Wichita) . . . Don B. Williams, after ten years on the air,has gone into sales, and Dave Bauer from KVRO in Stillwater, Okla-homa is doing the 9 a.m.-noon show.

KHJ (Los Angeles) ... Larry McKay will be joining the line up to doeither the noon -3 p.m. or 9 p.m. -midnight shift, coming from Y100 inMiami.

WIFE (Indianapolis) . . . Dave Dugan, newsman at the station willbe getting married and moving to southern Florida and looking fora new gig. He can be reached up until June 20 at (317) 846-0112.

Los Angeles . . . Ex -radio man Warren Duffy and Kathryn Reynoldshave written a song called "Nixon's the One" which several companieswere interested in producing but, as he reported, didn't want to an-tagonize an already upset President. It's now been released on TakomaRecords, and Duffy reports the same kind of reluctance to play comingfrom some of the AM stations, although there's been good responseon FM stations in LA and Boston.

WXLW (Indianapolis) . . . Pat Martin was in town and reported thatPD and general manager Bill Shirk is in the process of buying thestation, subject to FCC approval. In addition to everything else, Shirkis also on the air.

KDWB (St. Paul) . . . Buzz Bennett reports on the first phase of the"Anticipation" promotion at the station. Everything is geared to thethought "anticipate." The jocks intro records with "Anticipate" such -and -such a record, announcements of calls to listeners are made with"Anticipate a call soon," then later "anticipate a call this hour." Thisis all being done to the background of Carly Simon's "Anticipation,"and coincided with a national campaign that Heinz is doing on thesame anticipation theme. The idea is that no matter where the listenergoes he will respond to "anticipation" and think of KDWB. The con-cept is to get them to listen just a little longer, hopes Bennett.

KRUX (Phoenix) . . . New PD Richard Ruiz is contemplating goingoff the air to concentrate on programming. Consequently, he may needan on -the -air replacement. Send tapes to 7401 West Camelback Road,Phoenix Ariz. 85033.

In addition, Safeway Marketscooperated and helped collect an additional 46,000 bags. In all, over500 tons were finally delivered to the city's landfill.

Winter, 10cc Win Out Over Garden Garbage NEW YORK-It is to any group'scredit to be able to overcome thebuilt-in hazards of playing at Madi-son Square Garden, and both 10cc(UK) and Johnny Winter (Colum-bia) deserve kudos for their recentperformances there (15).

Johnny WinterIf it's not the ushers who in-

creasingly refuse to seat people(or seat them in the wrong seats),then one must beware of flyingobjects such as bottles and fire-crackers-the latter tossed at thestage as well as around the arena.At one point Winter admonishedhis fans to stop throwing things"or the show is over." Little seemedto change, but Winter perserveredand came through with an excitingset of the white southern bluesaround which he has built a con-siderable reputation. With hisbrother Edgar seated by the side ofthe stage, Johnny's set was high-lighted by a "Silver Threads" leadinto a solo guitar segment, theclosing "Jumping Jack Flash," andthe first of two encores, "JohnnyB. Goode," played to an audieficewhich literally shook the building

Bowie: A Theatrical InnovatorOf The Seventies' Breed of Rock NEW YORK-Few would arguethe fact that David Bowie is one ofthe most influential figures in theturbulent rock scene of the seven-ties. But his career began in themid -sixties with his days as DavidJones and The Lower Third, andthen as David Bowie and the Buzz,when his first records were largelyignored by a public preconditionedto accept a stereotypical idea of therock performer.

With guitarist Mick Ronson, heassembled the backup group latercalled "The Spiders from Mars"and in December 1971, "HunkyDory" was released under a newrecording contract with RCA Rec-ords, negotiated by Bowie's man-ager Tony Defries.

Ziggy Stardust

The next step was the develop-ment of a stage show. Together with"The Spiders," Bowie began per-forming extensively in Britain andthe U.S. His following album, "TheRise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust andthe Spiders from Mars" chartedstrongly as Bowie's Ziggy Stardustpersona became the first space -rockhero of the seventies.

The creation of Ziggy enabledBowie to bring together coherentlyhis diverse artistic pursuits: visualimagery of costumes, electric nu-ances of uninhibited choreography,the thematic consistency of his mu-sic-in short, a type of theatricalrock presentation never before at-tempted.

Two extended tours rapidly builthis cult image into a mass follow-ing. Using the power that came withthat importance, he salvaged themuch -loved British band, Mott the.Hoople (by writing and producingtheir first hit single and album "AllThe Young Dudes") and workedwith Lou Reed (producing Reed'ssuccessful "Transformer" album).

By the end of 1972, "The Riseand Fall" had carried Bowie tocritical and public acclaim. As aresult, RCA released Bowie's twoprevious Mercury albums whichRCA had purchased at the timeBowie signed with the label: "TheMan Who Sold the World" and"Space Oddity." In January 1973,the title cut of the latter album wasreleased in the U.S. and becameone of Bowie's biggest hits. It hadbeen a successful single in Englandin 1969.

Bowie kicked off the first of two1973 international tours with anSRO Valentine's Day concert atNew York's Radio City Music Hall.

In May 1973, RCA releasedBowie's "Aladdin Sane" album, acomplex work reflecting Bowie's

nightmarish vision of the Americancities he visited while on tour, fur-ther legitimizing Bowie's status asone of rock's major innovativepoets.

Sixth Album

Beginning in July 1973, Bowieretired to the Chateau de Herou-ville (Chopin's former residence inthe south of France) where he re-corded his sixth RCA album, "BowiePinups," a collection of Bowie'sfavorite rock tunes from the 1964-67 period in London. After its com-pletion he taped his NBC-TV "Mid-night Special" entitled "The 1980Floor Show." Conceived and de-signed by Bowie, the show was shotin London at the Marquee Club inSoho where he had performed yearsearlier with his band, David Jonesand The Lower Third.

Other Projects

Other projects occupying Bowieduring his months away from theconcert stage were the productionof Lulu's single, "The Man WhoSold The World," and his assistanceon the debut RCA albums of hisformer lead guitarist Mick Ronson("Slaughter On Tenth Avenue")and close friend Dana Gillespie("Weren't Born A Man").

In January 1974, Bowie undertookhis most ambitious recording proj-ect to date, his conceptual album,"Diamond Dogs" (bulleted at 57)with sessions taking place at theOlympic Studios in London, as

well as in Holland. A single from"Diamond Dogs," "Rebel Rebel"(at 87) is spurring sales still further.

Summer Tour

The release of "Diamond Dogs"will be followed by a summer tour,titled "The Year of the DiamondDogs," which will expand thetheme of the album into a visualform for the stage. The 25 -datetour, beginning June 14 at TheForum in Montreal and includingMadison Square Garden will be fol-lowed this fall by a second, whichwill take Bowie to between 50 and70 cities. "The Year of the DiamondDogs" is also the first tour in whichBowie will create around him thetheatrics of his music. Tony award -winning lighting designer JulesFisher, after consultation withBowie, drafted the sets and lights.On the tour, Bowie will show hismusical diversity, playing guitar, sax,moog synthesizer and Mellotron.Other musicians on the tour will beHerbie Flowers on bass, Tony New-man on drums, and Mike Garsonon keyboard.

The tour, in conjunction with thealbum, will show off Bowie's elec-trifying fusion of total musicality.


Dialogue (Continued from page 8)

it's different backgrounds, different generations and a different need.So I think those two in a sense are separate.

RW: But how does one transfer the entertainment value of an Alice onstage, for kids who are going to go buy the records as a result of seeinghim live, to disc?

Gordon: Right. There has to be a distinction between a stage showand music, and the broadest distinction of all is the acceptance. Inother words, a sixty year old person I would not expect to go to anAlice Cooper show. The thing that I'm happy about is that they canaccept Alice as an entity, and appreciate what he does. Not necessarilywant to go see it, not necessarily want to listen to it, but to say "yes,he is an entertainer. I don't particularly like what he does," but to acceptit as an art form. Opera singers for example. There aren't very manypeople who are into opera, yet they accept opera singers as artists.That's something rock and roll never had before. That's what it's startingto get.

RW: How do you approach the transition to film now?Gordon: I think you can keep your image in terms of packaging and

you have to keep your image in terms of the kinds of material youwrite and what you sing. But not a total tie -together. In terms ofmovies, I think the movie is where you can incorporate it all. That'swhere you can come across getting everyone. That's where you can pre-sent something that goes to your entire audience. Alice has a moviecoming out called "Good To See You Again Alice Cooper." I don't thinkthat's the ultimate in what we hope to do but I think it's a first step.What it is, is basically a concert with a story line around the concert.A story line that has some humor to it, some entertainment to it. Itstarts in a direction of not showing the fingers of the guitar player.That's for stage. Every rock and roll film that's ever come out, except forthe Beatles' two movies, they seemed to have felt it important to showthe fingers of the guitar player, and to show someone backstage gettingready for a concert.

When Frank Sinatra did a movie it wasn't just him singing. It wasusing his ability in translating it into the art form of a movie. Hopefullythat's where rock and roll can go. I understand "Tommy" is going to dothat kind of a thing. It's really helping. And that's what helps to make 'us legitimate. So in our particular movie, that's what we're attempting todo. We haven't taken it as far as we would like to take it. Basicallybecause we didn't have time. Also because we felt that the first time weshould work it around the stage presentation, the group, for ore spe-cific reason: When we did the "Billion Dollar Babies" tour we realizedthat we couldn't get to ninety percent of the kids in the country whowanted to see it. So the main thrust of the movie is to get it to the kidswho weren't able to see it. Our movie doesn't open in New York City.It opens in Binghamton, New York; Tacoma, Washington; SpokaneWashington-it goes to all the tiny cities that we couldn't get to. So wewanted to make a presentation of the entire concert. We wanted themto see all that but we didn't want to leave it at that. So we wrote astory line around it. Out of the 105 minutes of the film there's about70 minutes of concert and then 35 minutes of story line. The secondone, when we do our second film, will be much more directed at ex-actly what we want to do. And that is a nice incorporation of the two.This one, the main thrust of it was to get it to the people who couldn'tsee the concert tour but not to show them the fingers of the guitarplayer. To give them the overall feel of what our theater piece is.

RW: What are you doing in terms of promotion?Gordon: We do all the promoting ourselves.RW: Following the same lines . . .

Gordon: Following exactly the same lines we used . . . well, notexactly the same lines, but the same theory. The picture got a PG ratingso the crux of the campaign is that the censors of the United States ofAmerica have finally decided Alice Cooper is safe for your children."Good To See You Again Alice Cooper" is rated PG and is more thanjusva concert movie. Really an attempt to open up a whole new market.

RW: One of the comments, I don't remember if you said it or ifAlice said it, was that anybody who ever wants to interview AliceCooper will have to do it in the middle of a set on stage because that'sthe only place Alice really exists. Do we now have a third Alice?

Gordon: Not a third Alice-it's an extension of the Alice Cooperthat's on stage, but without the energy of 18,000 people being pouredinto him. Alice on stage, when Alice said that, it's interesting. Youwatch Alice before a show and you watch him get onto a stage and hetakes on all the qualities of the audience. When you deal with a youthaudience, the qualities of a youth audience are rebellion, and we alllive through it and we all know it. So that's what Alice becomes onstage: This rebellious, venomous, confused person, who doesn't knowwhere to turn, what to do. I think the lyrics from "18" really express

April Wins Motion NEW YORK - April Music Inc.,a publishing subsidiary of CBS, haswon a motion reducing the dam-ages recovered from April by Elto-lad Music Inc. In a decisionhanded down in Los Angeles Su-perior Court on May 30 by JudgeGeorge M. Fell, April's motion fora new trial was granted unless Elto-lad agrees to accept $4,813.84 incompensatory damages and $40,-000 in punitive damages. This wasa substantial reduction from theoriginal figures awarded to Eltoladby the jury verdict, which were$20,000 in compensatory damagesand $1.5 million in punitive dam-ages.

Breach of Contract

Eltolad sued April Music Inc. ina contract dispute regarding com-poser Jerry Williams. Eltolad MusicInc. claimed that Williams had beeninduced to breach his contract withthem in 1969 in order to moveover to April Music. Since the juryhad awarded Eltolad $1.52 milliondamages in Los Angeles last April5, April Music sought a new trial,which the Judge has now granted.This leaves Eltolad with the choiceof either accepting the reduction indamages, appealing the decision, ormoving for a new trial. The courthas given Eltolad a June deadlinefor its decision.

Sly Weds at the Garden:'It's A Family Affair' MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,N.Y. - It was definitely not oneof your typical June weddings.With 23,000 spectators present, itcould hardly be described as inti-mate. And certainly the groom'sside was much more well -repre-sented than the bride's. But it wasdefinitely an "event," in the strict-est sense of the word, as Epicrecording star Sly Stone/SylvesterStewart wed Kathy Silva on thestage of New York's MadisonSquare Garden last week (5).

Sly's mother (introduced by theemcee "Soul Train" main -man DonCornelius) imparted a "homey"ambience as she spoke to thecrowd about the blissful occasion.She, in turn, introduced Sly'stwelve -year -old cousin, Lisa Davis,who proceeded to belt out, withan incredibly rich voice, the tradi-tional gospel wedding -song, "IKnow Who Holds Tomorrow."The stage was soon packed withgold -clad wedding participants,quiet was called for, and thecapacity crowd Cheered the cere-mony on.

Sly's first concert as a marriedman was short but sweet. He wasin top form as his euphoric brandof music filled the Garden andkept the crowd jumping. His high-spirited synthesis of sounds wasjam-packed with all sorts of musi-cal delights, as the remarkablevocal interplay among the groupmembers propelled the ecstaticaudience to new heights. High-lighting his set were familiar hitsincluding "Thank You (FalettinmeBe Mice Elf Agin)," "M'Iady,""Family Affair," "Stand," "I WannaTake You Higher" and severalselections from his forthcomingalbum, "Small Talk."

Eddie Kendricks (Tamla) warmedthe crowd up for Sly with soulfullytight compositions enhanced withbacking from some very cohesivemusicmen. A medley of previoushits drew terriffic audience re-sponse, set-off by "The WayYou Do the Things You Do" and"Get Ready." His smash "BoogieDown" was the set's sparkler.

New York Central (Continued from page 18)

FULL HOUSE: Interesting how certain groups can fill certain roomsin this city, and establish a following associated with the club theyplay. Case in point is Aztec Two Step, which brought comparativelylarge crowds to the Metro two weeks ago. A pleasant folk-rock group,with nothing particular to distinguish it from others of its ilk, thechances of their drawing at any other club in NY are slim. Yet this wastheir third or fourth successful booking at the Metro.

Special interest in the show came with opener Diana Marcovitz,whose Columbia album, now being completed, is due in August. Ms.Marcovitz is a musical humorist whose prime target is the aura of the"artiste," and she approaches it with all the mock sensitivity befittingher songs. Underneath the veneer of her wit, however, is the buddingof a serio-comic vision which needs nurturing. For the moment, justlisten and laugh.

NOTED: The Good Rats completing an album at the House of Musicin New Jersey for August release by WB, with Stephan Galfas producing

. . Late -night jam at the Bottom Line with Eric Burdon, War membersLee Oskar and Lonnie Jordan, Les Variations' drummer, and a mysteriousNY/LA commuter on cowbell . . . Dave McShee, once of Doctor Gen-erosity's, an upper -East side bar, now running the renovated upstairsbar at Max's-a comfortable (and nicely decorated) late -night hang-outfor those not up for the high pressure downstairs. You can even watchthe acts on stage through a studio -like window . .. A business mergerbetween New York magazine and the Village Voice ... Clive Davis andJoe Smith rubbing elbows at the Ashford and Simpson opening at theBottom Line.

fully as possible. We plan to ex-pand in areas of talk-not just un-necessary talking on the air, butprograms like the Alan Watts showon the weekend." Recently, thestation ran a comedy weekend,playing frequent comedy cuts,sometimes thematically. Coming upwill be a salute to the seventhanniversary of the Monterey PopFestival (see Listening Post). "Wewant to have fun, and get the%listeners off having just as muchfun," states Hunter. "The contestsI like are those that don't giveaway $50 thousand, but are en-tertaining to listen to, even if youdon't enter."A recent example wasthe "Scream Contest," where thelistener had to identify a numberof screams from records of varyingartists and won a weekend forthree at a local X-rated motel andfour bottles of cheap wine. Topromote a coming Film Week,the station will be running "filmclips" on the radio and thoseidentifying them correctly will geta chance at a grand prize drawing,in addition to tickets to the festival.

Full -Time PD

In order to devote himself fulltime to developing KMET's pro-gramming further, Hunter has re-cently given up his morning airduties. "It got so I was puttingmost of my energies into the showand just enjoying playing in themorning, when I need to dedicatemy time to the entire day." Theline up is currently B. MitchellReed 6-10 a.m. .. . Richard Kimble10 a.m.-2 p.m. . . . Steve Clean2-7 p.m. . . . Mary Turner 7 p.m. -midnight . . . Doyle midnight -6a.m. . . . Joe Collins, Zack, JimmyWitherspoon, and Dr. Demento(whose show was number one inthe ratings) on weekends . . . AceYoung news director and David L.Moorehead, vp and general man-ager.

As Hunter summed it up, "Iguess given today's cynicism, itmight sound a trifle idealistic andmaybe it is, but we're interestedin not getting people listening justto us, but just listening to the radio.We're not there just to break rec-ords, radio is important and viable.We need to be accepted so we canreach the community, so that it tiesyou in and you are a part of it."

City-Gems & Junk and The Re-cord Rack-were raided and a totalof 4700 pirated tapes with an esti-mated retail value of $14,700 seized.Joseph Ryan, the owner of Gems &Junk, Emil Evans, the store man-ager, and Delores Evans, an em-ployee, were arrested for unlawfulpossession and sale of pirated tapes.Similar charges were placed againstHerbert Mamet, owner of The Re-cord Rack.

Other RaidsAlso raided were Stu's Music and

C&O Distributors of Westminster,Md. Donald S. Myers, the managerof Stu's Music, and Earl E. Stone -piper, the owner of C&O, werecharged with the sale of piratedtapes as well as the sale of soundrecordings that did not display thename and address of the manufac-turer.

Ronald A. Linzy, the owner ofthe Western Auto Store in Hamp-stead, Md. was arrested and chargedwith selling pirated tapes after araid on his premises.

DialogUPe (Continued from page 25)

that kind of a feel. There are still problems because most of the peoplein the business don't realize it yet. I think record companies certainlyare the ones who are most at fault in terms of not realizing that. Theystill think rock and roll is a whole limited thing.

RW: When videodiscs start coming out... .Gordon: Then they're going to have to start changing their heads. But

you still get the same kind of reluctance from record companies toaccept rock and roll as something that's going to stay. There still is ... Idon't know one record company yet that is concerned with the kindof production their acts do. I know we have a company that producesstage shows for people. When a record company has someone likeLiza Minnelli, they're very concerned about the stage production.They're willing to help it out. But when it comes to someone in rockand roll, they don't want to talk to you. Stage production? What stageproduction? They want to hear him play. So in a sense they're holdingthe reins as much as anyone else. It's strictly "give me a hit single."Not build a personality.

RW: When do you reach a point of overkill in terms of audience,not even in terms of record companies? If you have cooperation, thenhow do you start to pull back or hold your own reins?

Gordon: I don't think it's a matter of holding the reins, it's movingahead. I would hate to stop the creative flow, I just don't want it toget locked in. So we keep trying to move ahead. Overkill of an audienceis a very important thing. We've now taken a year off. Alice won't beout on the road for a year. No show, probably no albums for a year.We're gonna hold back for a year. Let everybody else start to catch upand then move ahead.

RW: Most of the people who are aware of these things are the oneswho become superstars.

Gordon: I think every superstar has had to be aware of it. I think thething that they weren't aware of in a sense-or maybe they were anddidn't care-was translating it into the other generation. Alice is quiteconcerned about being recognized as a legitimate performer. Like whenHelen Hayes, after the Snoop Sisters, said "It's always great to workwith a fine actor." That was the thrill of his life. Again, though, therecord company still doesn't understand the thing of "entertainer."They want to hear what the next album's going to be. The music.

RW: Well, for them it still is the single.Gordon: It's half of it. I think the other half is the image. The single's

going to determine if you sell a million units, but one goes with theother. I think if Alice had just his music out he wouldn't have sold whathe sold. So it works hand in hand. And if it's going to remain as anart form then it's going to have to just keep building.

DESDE NUESTRINCON INTERNACCNAL

By TOMAS FUNDORA El centro nocturno Florida Park de Madrid esquizas el sitio de mas categoria en el mundo delespectaculo en Madrid. Elegante y distinguido, abresus puertas con grandes espectaculos . . . La nocheanterior a nuestra "Cena de Gala" en la cual sehabrian de entregar nuestros premios a los artistasseleccionados coma ganadores durante el 1973,dirigi mis pasos a la gran sala. Frente a su inmensosalon una idea cruzo por mi mente "dremosIlenarlo? . . . El lugar iba a ser cerrado al publico

y solo asistirian las personalidades de Ia ind6stria, espectaculo, prensay radio, que previamente habrian de haber obtenido sus invitacionespagando un precio que considers como de "pensarlo dos veces." Al-gunas casas discograficas se mostraban escepticas ante Ia entrega detrofeos de Record World, ya que nuestro corresponsal habfa escritoun articulo semanas antes, en los cuales segun sus opiniones se atacabaa toda Ia industria espaliola, representada por Indostria DiscograficaEspanola, presidida por un personaje espanol, que a la saz6n abandon6Madrid, no sin antes acordar con sus miembros no asistir al acto, ensepal de desacuerdo con nuestro corresponsal. No me voy a poner a

y suconsiderar su descortesia postura porque me tomaria demasiadoespacio importante en mi columna.Asi las cosas me deje Ilevar pormi fe inquebrantable en el ser humano y las reacciones hermosas denuestro mundillo del disco.

En Ia noche de la gran cena Ilegue temprano. En Ia mesa presidencialya seencontraban presentes nuestro Publisher, Bob Austin y nuestro

con un pricipe de la realezaespanola, duque y una duyuesa y varios otros miembros de la clasesocial de mas alto rango en Espana. Me he hecho el proposito de nomencionar nombres en esta cronica, por lo cual me perdonan los nomencionados. Pense: Bueno, por lo menos la realeza ha respondido.

Pasaron varios minutos que me lucieron siglos. Una mesa Ilena . . .

y otra . y otra . y mas. Las mas altas personalidades de la radio yIa television. i Respire! La prensa espanola acudfa a ver coma les saliael asunto a sus colegas de norteamerica y hacian numero muy intere-sante. Los artistas premiados y no premiados por igual. Y comenzarona Ilegar los ejectivos de las casas discograficas. En media hora el FloridaPark estaba atestado.

Fernando Moreno, nuestro corresponsal y hombre de gran capacidadde trabajo abrio el acto. El Maestro de Ceremonias comenz6 a men-cionar los premiados. Los premios iban siendo recibidos. Despues partedel genial espectaculo que puso Florida Park a nuestra disposiciOn.La felicidad me embargada. Al final dije unas frases ante la presentaciona los presentes de Bob Austin y cerr6 el acto nuestro corresponsal casirodeado de mas de veinte coristas femeninas que ofrecieron un ex-quisito "Can Can" con todas las de la ley.

Terming el evento sentando pauta como triunfo absoluto. Alli estabatodo lo que valia y brillaba de Espana. Los pocos artistas que no asisti-eron enviaron telegramas o a sus representantes. Ya en marcha haciael hotel alguien me hizo notar que habian faltado al evento dos casasdiscograficas y me di6 pena y pesar por ellas. Perdieron la oportunidadde ser testigos de un exit° muy importante de la industria discograficaespanola y de Record World y la satisfacci6n caballerosa de estrecharleslas diestras a muy buenos amigos que habian venido de muy lejos atraerles un mensaje de reconocimiento y felicitacion. Lamento no ha-berles visto, aunque reconozco que no tuve la oportunidad ni el tiennpode extranar sus presencias.

La Sociedad General de Autores de Espana nos hizo entrega de unahermosa placa que lee: "A Record World por su labor en pro de IaMusica Espanola" y con ello queda dicho todo. iGracias Espana!

Our Gala Awards Dinner 1973 at the Florida Park, Madrid, Spain,was an enormous success. Spanish press, radio, television and recordindustry representatives were present. Even though the Florida ParkNight Club is a bit too large for such an event, the house was fullycrowded.

arista de 0.92 centirnetros de esta-tura, fue, de verdad, un escandalo.Durante su actuation fue inter-rumpido tres veces, debido a lasovanciones que el public° le brin-daba.

Nuestro Rincon (Continued from page 38)A Prince, one duke and two duchesses were present. Only a few art-

ists were not present due to previous promises that kept them awayfrom Spain, but their cablegrams were present giving their reasons andannouncing their representatives in order that they could receive ourawards.

Only two record companies were not officially present due to arecent article from our correspondent Fernando Moreno that theyinterpreted as "not a proper treatment to the Spanish record industryin general," but their artists with a few exceptions were present.

It is the first time Record World offered such an event and this greatsuccess opens doors to future events in foreign countries and the States.The Spanish Association of Writers of Composers extended RecordWorld a Golden Plaque which reads: "La Sociedad General de Autoresde Espana to Record World for their great work in favor of the Musicfrom Spain." And those words reflect the whole intensity of our success.

MI LONDON-After two weeks of speculation former U.K. Bell chiefDick Leahy has announced that he is to join forces with the Gem -TobyOrganisation and will run their new GTO Record Company. Leahy'sassociation with GTO managing director Laurence Myers goes back overfour years and has involved several artists including Gary Glitter, EdisonLighthouse and the Fantastics. The GTO label will be run along thesame lines as Bell's operation, and until separate premises are obtained,Leahy will cooperate from the company's Regent Street offices.

Previously better known for their success in the album field, WarnerBrothers should soon have four singles in the top 40: Alan Price's"Jarrow Song" and Scaffold's "Liverpool Lou" are already there, withLynsey De Paul ("Ooh I Do") and the Doobie Brothers ("Pursuit On53rd Street") following closely behind. Meanwhile, WEA Internationalhas appointed former managing director of EMI Ireland Sheldon Helleras the company's liaison executive in Japan where he will co-ordinatethe company's activities with Wantanabe Productions and PioneerElectronics. Other changes in the International division of the companyinclude the resignation of European co-ordinator Hans Officier.

Major concerts have been announced for the summer, the mostpromising of which is an open air festival featuring Led Zeppelin, theMahavishnu Orchestra, Van Morrison, Caledonian Express, the DoobieBrothers and possibly the Allman Brothers, planned for July 20 at Kneb-worth Park in Hertfordshire, which will be billed as the "BucolicFrolic." Former Mahavishnu man Billy Cobham plays the Rainbow onJuly 12 while Ronnie Lane has already commenced his "Passing Show"tour which takes the form of a rock and roll circus coinciding with therelease of "The Poacher" single (GM), and the Kinks plan a LondonPalladium concert on June 9 although their "Preservation" musicalwill not be premiered until the fall. Finally, Blue headline their owntour through June after a successful series of dates supporting Focus.

The tragic death of a David Cassidy fan was the result of thousandsbeing crushed after protective barriers gave way at the White CityStadium (26). Several other kids were injured at the teen idol's onlyLondon show which played to 35,000, but a vastly reduced numberattended his Manchester concert a few days later as a result of theunfortunate accident. Promoter Mel Bush issued a statement to theeffect that every precaution was taken to avoid such a tragedy in thepreparation of the concert, including the appointment of 400 securitymen and the construction of extra barriers.

will be marketable here becausethey're better records." And somany of Europe's top recordingstars want to hit it big in the U.S.because that's their ultimate goal interms of ego and finances. Rabino-witz attributes much of this to thefact that music has become com-petitive on a universal level.

Personal Projects

Presently Rabinowitz is in themidst of working on several inter-national acts whom he feels havethe potential to break here as wellas in their native lands. MichalUrbaniak, a Polish avant-garderock/jazz musician, is an artist whoRabinowitz feels is breaking slowlyhere, and has the talent to be anestablished star over a long periodof time. Also from that countrycomes Nieman, "Poland's biggestrock artist," whom CBS will try tobreak in England and then in theStates. Regarding this sudden surgefrom Poland, Rabinowitz com-mented, "Any society that's beenrepressed and then opens up willshow music just bubbling out fromit." Gigliola Cinquetti, who has es-tablished herself internationally, sell-ing all over Europe, Japan and SouthAmerica is recording in English forrelease here, too.

As Rabinowitz' predictions be-come fully realized, music willtruly become the universal language.

Angel's Erwin and His WurlitzerBy SPEIGHT JENKINS

II NEW YORK In capturingGunther Schuller and the NewEngland Conservatory Ragtime En-semble for the "Red Back Book,"Angel Records minted solid goldwith the considerable help ofScott Joplin. Now the companyhopes to repeat its success andcapitalize on a movie -music crazethat has been heavily mined byRCA. The unifier of these disparateelements is not the recording ofthe Academy Award winning"Sting" score, but an old pipeorgan.

The FoxThe Fox (later known as the

Capitol) Theatre in Washington,D. C. was built in the twenties,and had its mirror image in mostAmerican cities-a movie palacethat seemed to rival every known(and unknown) extravagance inarchitecture. They went out offavor after World War II and in atragically wasteful gesture weregenerally torn down. The Traver-tine palaces put up in New York,Atlanta, Washington, Los An-geles and other American citiesfrequently cannot touch theiracoustics. If only more cities hadfollowed the example of St. Louisor Pittsburgh in converting theseold houses for live performances,concert life in America would bemuch richer. Fortunately, in thedebris of the Capitol Theater, oneRichard Kline saved the greatWurlitzer organ and transportedit to his home in Maryland. Inaddition to a battery of percussionand traps, it has 28 sets of pipes.It can suggest any string instru-ment, most of the winds and anynumber of percussive instruments.

Theater OrganAdd the discovery of the organ

to composer -organist Lee Erwinand one has a re-creation of theera of our parents and grand-parents in music. Erwin playedtheater organ in the last days ofthe silent movies, and then per-formed in Cincinnati in the spotbetween the talking picture andthe stage show (a tradition stillmaintained in New York's RadioCity Music Hall).

Teaching RoleHe played organ over the radio

for years, becoming staff organistfor CBS in New York and then along-time associate of ArthurGodfrey. After Godfrey, Erwinjoined the staff of New York'sLehmann College, teaching elec-tronic music, but his performing

career on the old organ receiveda huge boost in 1967, when hewas asked to write a new scorefor Gloria Swanson's "QueenKelly." The success of that silentfilm and others that followed hasgiven Erwin much scoring to do.His first record with the Wurlitzeron Angel, "Sound of Silents," de-tails his movie re-creation. Suchpieces as Rudolph Valentino's"The Eagle," Douglas Fairbanks'"Thief of Bagdad" and the fan-tastic "Phantom of the Opera"have delighted audiences acrossthe country. Included also on therecord is the famous "Diane,"written by Erno Rapee and LewPollack as the theme of their"Seventh Heaven."

Scott JoplinNo sooner had he finished the

record exploring his silent moviescores than Erwin turned to ScottJoplin. Many a silent movie audi-ence enjoyed Joplin in the inter-mission, and Erwin's interpretivegifts and the sound of the Wur-litzer give Joplin yet another andjustified sound. On the excellentrecord, "Rosebud," named after aJoplin rag, Erwin includes rags byKerry Mills, Harry Guy and thenonagenarian Eubie Blake. Blake,incidentally, has appeared at Car-negie Hall only within the lastyear on a marvelous programshared with William Bolcom. Er-win now pays tribute in this rec-ord, not only to the incredibleJoplin, but to some of the otherragtime talents that flourished inthat now -rediscovered era.

Snowflakes Are Selling

Singles Increases(Continued from page 3)mid to upper 60's for retailers, andaround the 50 cent mark for inde-pendent distributors. Final figureswill depend on each label's deci-sion on whether or not to increasethe spread.

Despite what will be an ap-proximate 10 cent increase in themanufacturers' selling price, in-dustry veterans believe that therewill be further singles price in-creases later this year.

If the spread between sub -distributors and retailers is in-creased drastically, some labelexecutives point out, it might havethe effect of driving the retailers'singles business to the rack job-bers and one -stops, a move thatother label executives seem tofavor. But this move may backfire:retailers may wind up paying ahigher price on a percentage basisfrom a jobber, than if they wouldbuy the singles themselves, re-sulting in a further erosion of thedealer's profit.

'Overdue'The increase in singles prices,

coming on the heels of increasesin album and tape prices, is seenin many places as long overdue."We haven't raised the price ofsingles in over a decade," saidone vice president for a majormanufacturer. "Costs have in-creased tremendously in that time,and as long as we can keep theretail price under a dollar, I seeno reason why the price shouldn'tbe raised." He added that hiscompany was watching the restof the industry before making anyfinal decision.

RCA/Midland Pact(Continued from page 3)the talent and staying -power to bearound for a long time."

"Reno possesses a fine track rec-ord," said Glancy. "We feel confi-dent that he'll be providing us

with totally original, contemporaryand quality talent."

BackgroundReno, formerly involved in artist

Festivalwith his award winning "AmorPor Ti." A romantic singer of thebollero ilk, Rodriguez won thehearts of his audience spontane-ously. His potent vocal capabili-ties, smoothly set off by his choiceof heart-rending ballads, makehim the Sinatra of the Latin -set.

Puerto Rico's recent sensationSophie (Velvet) played to thehard-core, traditionally orientedLatin music crowd, with an Amer-ican -style back-up band, a rarietyfor Latin music enthusiasts. Earthyand funky, her gutsy vocalsthrilled and delighted the fans,especially on her version of "MalAmor." Following Sophie was CalTjader (Fantasy), whose vibes vir-tuosity was amply displayed viahis own brand of Latinized jazz.Sumptuous samba -like soundsfilled the air and Tjader evokedparticular pleasure when hemoved over to timbales for theDizzy Gillespie standard, "Man-teca." Although his act was themost untraditional for Latin music,he was admired by the Latin de-votees through his rhythmicallytight expertise.

The spicy sounds culminatedwith the Dominican Republic'sanswer to Elvis Presley, JohnnyVentura (Kubaney). Thunderousapplause greeted the seductivesinger who put on the best showof the evening, complete withsolid choreography and heavysalsa sounds. His sensuous bodymovements kept 'em swooning,laughing and having a grand time.Dancing in the aisles was at itsheight and Ventura was abso-lutely adored.

Nashville Report (Continued from page 47)

"I estimate we had to cancel 70 or 80 dates-fairs, concerts androdeos," explained his booking agent Bob Neal of the William MorrisAgency's local office. "There is," Neal emphasized, "nothing wrongwith Sonny's voice. In fact, he was in the Columbia studio last weekrecording. It's just that the doctors are of the opinion he shouldn'tundergo the pressures and tensions of tours."

I overheard a Music Row veteran describe blind pianist -singer RonnieMilsap thusly: "Ronnie is going to be a white Ray Charles."

Dan Beck, former southeastern editor for Record World, has beennamed manager of public relations for country artists at Columbia -Epic -Monument. I phoned him the day after he assumed his new postto wish him well and his secretary answered and said, "What wishingwell is calling, please?" . . . Prestige, man!

W. D. (Buddy) Killen, busy, busy music -maker, is producing a recordwith Chet Atkins. "I wanted to work with Buddy," Chet said, "becausehe is so versatile where music is concerned. Buddy is as comfortablein rock and rhythm & blues as he is in the country."

"It's a thrill to be working with a true great like Chet," says Killen."Everything is going just fine. We've come up with a dance band sound."

Killen and Atkins should make a great pair. Neither of them evertalks very much.

Gospel singer Wendy Bagwell, who suffered a heart attack April 24,has been told by his doctors that he can return to work the latter partof June. "I'll be ready," says Wendy.

Jerry Lee Lewis' new Mercury album, "1-40 Country," runs a tuneful,lyrical gamut. It includes "Alcohol of Fame" and "Room Full of Roses."

"Room Full of Roses," written by Tim Spencer, was instrumental inlaunching Eddy Arnold's career, and is a current single hit for newcomerMickey Gilley, who is a distant cousin of Jerry Lee Lewis.

Brenda Lee's next MCA single, "Four Poster Bed," was written byShel Silverstein. Shel describes "Four Poster Bed" as a "family song."
