SUPERGROU PS Their appeal is to all the demographics that you're programming to with their strength in the "money" category that every station wants:

21-34! Columbia Records has sold 20 million Chicago albums (including nearly 4 million of the double LP CHICAGO TWO that did not have a Gold Single...but did have one of your most requested, most played oldies- "Colour My World."

Chicago Ten is already Gold and half way to Platinum!

RADIO NEWS Y100 GIVES BIRTH

Continuing their trend of doing exciting new things, Y100 gave official birth to another "Y" station. Since Y100 went on the air in 1973, there have been many new "Y" call letters in the Miami area. Bill Tanner decided to play on the latest happening. WLQYIFt Pierce, which is about 150 miles from Miami, wanted to test their new four channel equipment

LATE NEWS --See page 10

and new studio operations while maintaining programming on the air. The station asked for and received permission to simulcast Y100. Y100 then began promos that it would give birth to a new baby, "Y99," at the stroke of midnight.

At midnight, in both cities, listeners heard operating room sound ef- fects, a bunch of oohs and aahs followed by a loud slap and then it was anounced that Y99 was on the air. All night long listeners in the Ft. Pierce and Vero Beach areas heard Y100 and were able to call in toll free and win prizes. All returned to normal at 6am.

CHARGE YOUR SPOTS WICC/Bridgeport GM Vince Cre-

mona implemented a unique idea to make it easier for retailers to buy time on the station. WICC now accepts Mastercharge as a form of payment. Cremona commented "... the reaction so far has been very positive." Although the idea has been done before, the fact that it's spreading with acceptance seems interesting.

HOLD ON WINDY CITY Arbitron has notified all clients

that the April /May Chicago book will be reissued as soon as it is reprocesed. Apparently some stations did not receive all the listening credit due them in the original report

FUCKING YOUR BIC WSPTIStevens Point had a "Flick

of the Bic" weekend giving away Bic lighters, Clicker albums and tickers (watches). Listeners had to call in at the sound of the flicking Bic on the air.

KSLY CAR STARS Guy Patel has created Car Star

stickers to be distributed through.

out the San Luis Obispo area retailers. Listeners put the stars on their car and the station spotter awards prizes. Unique twist to a

bumper sticker promotion. LA.R.S. FORMED

All 18 commercial radio stations in the five county Lousiville metro have joined in the formation of an association to be known as Louis- ville Area Radio Stations. Each station will be represented by a member of top management. The first president of the group is Jim Cald- well, VP & GM of WAVE.

REVIVAL SURVIVAL WRORIBoston in conjunction with

a local TV station co- sponsored a

"1950s Revival Survival Blood Drive" to help replenish the already very low supply of blood in the Boston area. Amie "Woo Woo" Ginsburg will serve as Master of Ceremonies and all participants will get a 1950's survival kit. MARGE BUSH BACK TO SCHOOL

A follow -up on last week's front page story that Marge Bush has resigned her music director position at WIXY, finds Marge joining the Ohio School of Broadcasting as an administrative assistant. Bush will be teaching broadcasting as well as running the employment agency division for the radio and record industry hopefuls.

Q102 CLEANS OUT In preparation for their move to

new studios, Q102/Cincinnati had an album clean out weekend. Lis- teners called in to win albums as the station cleaned out their stock of giveaway Lp's.

KIOA CELEBRATES THE 4th Peter McLane told us he'd be sit-

ting by his pool drinking 200 beers and watching fireworks but that the station would definitely be doing something worthwhile for the fourth. What that is, is having the Governor, Police Chief and all city officials cut station I.D.'s for the long weekend. Each will be saying "Hap- py Birthday America from KIOA/ Des Moines." Station will be playing the top 200 of all time over the weekend.

PROMOTION ROUNDUP KAYCIBOSUmont just had a super

Pulse, a full five shares ahead of any other competition. Station just concluded their "Kasey Elvis Ex- press" bussing four loads of listeners to see Elvis in Baton Rouge.

96KXIDenver recently sent two lucky listeners in a chaffeured limo to a BTO concert in Colorado Springs. Winners also met the group and had unlimited use of the limo for the night.

WEEOIWaynesboro had a "Fan- tasy Weekend" giving away passes to a local amusement park "Fantasy - land." Station gave Mother Goose riddles on the air leaving out one word, listeners had to fill in the missing word to win.

KNDEISacramento gave away trips to see the recording studio. Pictured IL -R) Dennis Wilson, contest winners, Steve Moore PD of KNDE. Don and Mike Love. Seated is another of the winners.

As part of WFIUPhiladelphia's Bi- centennial blast, the station presented the "Great Bicentennial Bal- loon Race," reminiscent of early balloon flights on the East Coast WFIL's Jim O'Brien and his ballon were "chased" by 13 others in the "hare and hound" themed promotion. Lis- teners were invited to send in post- cards guessing which balloon would land closest to O'Brien's, how long their selected balloon would be in the air and how many miles it would travel. All eight of the WFIL jocks were represented by a balloon, which were also sponsored by local groups. During the nearly two hour race, O'Brien transmitted live from the balloon, describing the trip in de- tail for his listeners.

Random Thoughts "Random Thoughts" will reflect the questions and comments of our subscribers and our editorial staff regarding the day t' day activities and occurances in our industry. Your "Thoughts" are welcome.

How can the three national trade charts differ so greatly with chart positions when they are all supposed to be reflecting the same national sales picture?

Why do jocks ask their audiences "How you doin' ?" on the air? No answer can be given so the concern is false.

When "Sound" is truly what radio is all about, why won't management spend the money for top grade equipment, and keep updating it as much as they do their sales kits?

It has been over a decade since Manfred Mann had a hit record with "Pretty Flamingo" and it wasn't even one of his biggest hits. Isn't it strange that in 1976 two major artists. Rod Stewart and Bruce Springsteen, would seperately, yet simultaneously. choose to include this old song in their repertoires? Perhaps, Manfred Mann was. and possibly still is. years ahead of his time.

.F An estimated 65,000 screaming fans turned out for the Bay City Roller's recent appearance at CHUM/Toronto's Summer Music Festival. The Rollers received keys to the city, a letter of welcome from Canada's Prime Minister, and two platinum albums for sales of their record in Canada. After the on -stage appearance, they attended a private party in their honor in which 300 listeners from CHUM and CHUM Group stations in Halifax, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Vancouver were given an opportunity to meet the group in person.

Ben Hill, PD of CK1011Cocoa Beach created a very unusual promotion to key in on the opening of the Kennedy Space Center's 3rd Century America. They had the'CK Hang Glider fly down from atop of the buildings.

"Instant Ratings" The possibility of a media buyer having immediate access to TV ratings is not far off, acording to Stan

not far-fetched, and that such a setup is now possible.

The imput continues to come in and the ideas are good. If the AOR convention is able to reflect the needs expressed to us by the industry in the past three weeks, then, no doubt, it will be tremendously fulfilling. That success, of course, is totally dependant upon your continued involvement between now and the eventual meeting of the minds in Cincinnati, September 17, 18 and 19.

Among the sessions already scheduled are an AOR Air Personality seminar, which will key in on the changing role of the jock in the many different forms of AOR radio. Some of the leading air people in the nation will be on the panel.

There will 3e two general sessions scheduled, which will include issues of importance to both AOR radio people and record industry people and will have panelists from both fields.

There will be concurrent sessions scheduled which will be carefully laid out not to create a conflict of time for the people they concern. One of the major complaints at conventions is people missing out on sessions that they particularly would like to attend because they are scheduled at the same time as other interesting seminars.

According to our plans, people from the various ends of the AOR spectrum will have both the opportunity to work together in sessions and seperately.

These will include AOR Program Director and Music Director sessions. They will be broken down to discussions on structure, methodology, theory, philosophy, news and public affairs, syndication, live radio con- certs, research and more.

There will be sessions for General Managers and Sales Executives and they'll cover administration, image projecting, sales techniques, bud- geting, outside advertising and more.

There will be sessions for Record Executives which will include discussions or, marketing and promoting albums as well as an intensive discussion on just what AOR radio is all about as relative to the record industry.

We are considering putting together sessions for those people involved in pioneering Prog 'essive Country radio or Album Oriented Country (AOC) dependant upon the interest shown in such a segment (see Jim Duncan's column of last week's R &R). If you are interested in such a group of sessions, contac: Jim at(213)466 -9561.

The aforementioned general sessions will include discussions on the many different types of AOR radio and the various market situations to which they ap3ly. Where AOR radio fits into the entire scheme of things in the whole industry will be explored. Of course we will continue with part two of the session that was so successful at Radio & Records Convention '76, "How Record Companies Could And Should Relate To ADR Radio." We will go on to cover the needs of AOR radio, as well as its responsibilities to the industry.

There will be tie multimedia slide presentation on AOR radio as well as individual station sales and graphics presentations.

One of the important features of this convention will be that no matter how many sessions are scheduled, there will be conference rooms open for informal one to one meetings and /or discussions. Of course, in the tradition of al Radio & Records conventions, all official seminars will be open to the floor for questions and comments.

That is just a broad overview. We are still open to imput and suggestions Next week we shall begin to outline the actual sessions, schedules, and speakers.

You'll notice on the convention registration forms in this issue that the deadline for registering is September 1st, so get those coupons in as soon as possible. especially those to reserve your hotel room.

Have your AOR station represented in the mu /ti -media slide presentation on AOR radio to be shown at the convention. Send photos of your station, its staff, control room, and the city it serves on 2 inch mounted slides along with a short taped presen to tion of your station's sound to Sharrison, Radio & Records, 6430 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, California 90028 as soon as possible.

Chart Summary

It was a very stable chart. The only albums showing significant increases in airplay were those that debuted or bounced back onto the chart. MILLER is the airplay champ for the sixth consecutive week. BECK nudged up to the number two position, trading places with the still powerful STEELY. CHI- CAGO traded places with TAYLOR as both albums continue to do well. STARSHIP was the week's highest de- but. AEROSMITH and TUCK- ER traded places in a tight race. ROD debuted impres- sively, followed right behind by AWB. FIREFALL is hanging in there. WINGS are still strong. BOC inched up trading places with the DEAD who had a good second week on the chart. BENSON maintained. FRAMPTON took a comparatively healthy jump. BOYS debuted. BOZ is still a biggie on the turntables. SPIRIT enjoyed increased air - playits second week out of the box. ANDERSON debuted. CITY maintained. DER- RINGER debuted. PRATT is hanging in there. MAC nudged up. COOPER and BEATLES debuted. MARLEY enjoyed a slight resurgence. C/N debuted. PARSONS bounced back onto the chart, nothing new for him. BSEtT debuted. BILLY JOEL, NEIL DIAMOND, JE- THRO TULL, and JERRY JEFF WALKER almost made the chart. This chart is based solely on airplay and does not attempt to fabricate a trend. The artists in italics are those receiving the most rapid gain in airplay.

Take him or leave him. He's been called abrasive, because he's

honest to a fault. He's been called a beauty, because he's Waylon to the core. He's been called a hard ass, a pussycat, an outlaw, a

sweetheart and a whole lot more. But there's only one thing you can really call him. Real. And for a lot of people that's a pretty tough act to take.

Listen to his new album, "Are You Ready For The Country" and find out if you're ready for the man.

COUNTRY 'Rocks On' IN TEXAS "I'd Have To Be Crazy" is the name of WILLIE NELSON's last

Columbia single. Being "crazy" was the key to taking part in Willie Nelson's 4th Fourth of July Picnic, which took place last weekend in Gonzales, Texas, about70 miles outside of San Antonio.

Crowd estimates of 80 to 250 thousand were mentioned throughout the event. It would be reasonable to assume about 100,000 persons took part in what has to be the wildest weekend this reporter has ever been involved.

The weekend began last Friday night- Saturday morning in San Antonio with a radio broadcast over WOAI. A three station network had been set up between WOAI; KOKE in Austin; and powerhouse WMAQ in Chicago. RUSTY BELL, formerly with KOKE and now the all -night progressive Country programmer on WOAI; BOB PITTMAN, Program Manager of WMAQ and ELLIE DYLAN, air personality of WMAQ, co- hosted the three hour broadcast with WILLIE NELSON. Besides taking part in the interviews, Nelson and his group of friends performed for the broadcast before a loud beer -drinking crowd at the station. Mercury artist JOHNNY RODRIGUEZ, who was in town for his own concert that weekend, stopped by and was quickly ushered on stage for the show's finale.

One of the most interesting things about the broadcast was the fact WMAQ used a communications satellite to feed the remote to their station in Chicago. This was a first for Country radio.

Meanwhile back in Gonzales, thousands of Country -Rock fans were gathering for a weekend with the "Outlaws" and friends. Young and old, freaks and rednecks had come to hear their heroes.

The musical event was supposed to be one day only, but under the guise of a "sound- check" it started early Saturday and continued into the night. The official opening came early Sunday with a worship service. But no one came to hear about Jesus. They came to hear and see their kings, mainly Willieand WAYLON JENNINGS.

Little did the mostly stoned multitude know Willie and Waylon would not perform. Sure Willie was there to open things on Saturday and on Monday he and Rocker LEON RUSSELL did a "wake up show" in the rain. Buta Willie Nelson Show and a Waylon Jennings Show did not happen.

Every extreme of weather happened through the weekend, from the hot -humid type on Saturday to cool -over cast skies on Sunday to thunder- showers on Monday.

Even though the crowd was displeased by not having Willie and Waylon perform, there was plenty of entertainment to keep the customers satisfied. Some of the performers included BOBBY BARE, DAVID ALLEN COE, JERRY JEFF WALKER, RAY WYLIE HUBBARD, LINDA HARGROVE, ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, STEVE FROMHOLZ, FLOYD TILLMAN, KRIS and RITA, RUSTY WEIR, BILLY JOE SHAVER and more. The biggest highlight musically was the great acceptance of this mostly young crowd to Country-great GEORGE JONES. Jones was one of the few performers the crowd demanded an encore from.

The sound was very good. The location was beautiful with its grassy rolling hills, lakes and tree -lined campsites. There was plenty of food and drink, sold at expectedly inflated prices. Crowd hassles were kept to a minimum. Most had come to have a good time and each person made the most of the situation.

The most unfortunate hassle was a political fight between promoter NEIL RESHEN, also Willie and Waylon's manager, and CBS Records. The majority of the radio, television and newspaper press were caught in the middle. The conflict was almost unbelievable. Many press people could not even get back stage to perform their appointed duties. Most left early in disgust without ever getting one picture or interview. Re- presentatives of the NBC -TV network were thrown out after a hassle with he promoter. The press was treated very poorly by the security troops. The issued press passes were of no use because the promoter changed the color at the last minute. Many of the working press were left stranded. Having made a few early connections and by just conning my way through, I was able to get some of the events for my story. But finally, in frustration, I left the picnic early missing much of what I had come to see and hear.

My sincere thanks to MARY ANN McCREADY and PETER STARR of Columbia Records, who were hassled even more than the press corps, for their kind assistance helping this reporter overcome some of the obstacles of my last Willie Nelson Picnic "I'd Have To Be Crazy" to go again.

KFOX /Long Beach California recently completed another successful promotion. According to PD Jim Christofferson, "We wanted to capitalize on the huge popularity of the Johnny Cash 'One Piece At A Time' single, during a recent visit by Cash to this area." KFOX decided to build a car like Cash did in his song. They put together a list of 60 highly recognizable car parts from a $25,000 dune buggy. Each car part was assigned a number and listeners were required to assemble a complete list of car parts and numbers to win the "Foxmobile." Each jock announced two clues per show for car parts that had not been called off up to that time. Listeners could actually mail in guesses of the completed list to the station before all the parts were announced. Pictured in front of the world famous Queen Mary are the winners: the David Gentry Family with KFOX PD Jim Christofferson.

BRUSH ARBOR Page One (Monument)

With the lead singer KENNY MUNDS and group leader WAYNE RICE no longer assicated with this group. the "Brush Arbor Sound" has changed very little. They still are a cross.section of musical styles from bluegrass to gospel to pure Country to down -home Country -rock. The group is still very tight and the harmonies continue to be excellent. "Page One is a new beginning for a very talented bunch of guys. Best cuts, "Emmylou" (current single), Alabam." "Long As You Still Love Me" and the gospel -oriented "God Is Good. God Is Love." ;Don't let the title on that one fool you It is acooker')

WAYLON JENNINGS Are You Ready For Country IRCAI

The long awaited Waylon album has arrived. It was worth the wait. Jennings is at his prime in the bluesy "Them Old Love Songs" and the funky "So Good Woman" The SHEL SILVER STEIN cut "A Couple More Years" is a sure hit. "I'll Go Back To Her sounds like the Waylon of old with one of the smoothest arrangements to be found. Album Oriented Country stations will get sonro mileage out of "Can't You See."

Pictured above are the WFRUFree- port disc jockeys during their parti- cipation in the Stephenson County Dairy Days Parade. (L to R) J.D Dalton, Sonny Meyer, Don Werntz, Jonathan O'Neal. Dick Lyons, and Don Martin.

KLAC, Los Angeles, (Country), and the Metromedia -owned KMET (AOR) are moving to the downtown Hollywood area. The new quarters are at Metromedia Square on the famed Sunset Boulevard. KLAC and KMET will be on the fifth floor of the Wilton Building, a gigantic complex that houses Metromedia's West Coast corporate staff, its television division, KTTV, Channel 11, Metro Transit Advertising, Metro Radio and TV Sales, and Metro Data. The newly- acquired Harlem Globetrotters are scheduled for a

later move -in date. Metromedia Square is also the site for Norman Lear and Tandem Productions' tap- ing of "All In The Family," "The Jeffersons," "Maude" and "The Good Times." KLAC's new tele- phone number will be (213) 462- 5522; KMET's (213) 464 -5638. The move should pretty well be completed by July 10.

POP/ ADULT

NOTES BY MIKE KASABO

Had the opportunity to rap with Ted Atkins late last week...ve covered many things, but TA seemed to keep coming back to the Red Sovine record "Teddy Bear." He asked if I had heard it. I responded that I hadn't. Atkins went on to inform me that the record had, in terms of sales and requests, jumped on WTAE's chart at No.2 the first week of play. Anyway, to finish up the story, the next day I secured a copy...played all five minutes and three seconds of it...and then realized why the record has overwhelming impact. I can't imagine an adult not responding to Sovine's emotional reading. Other big action on it comes from WGN. You might want to check it out.

It's been a while since we've seen the same group or artists with one or more singles on the PoplAdult 40 chart. But Paul McCartney, vocally speaking, has three on this week's list. First of all "Silly Love Songs" is making a slow exit after almost a month at the number one position...his group Wings makes a ten point jump with their latest "Let 'Em In "...plus "Got To Get You Into My Life" by the Beatles, which Mr. McCartney did lead vocal on is lodged at the number fourteen slot this week.

The new Glen Campbell started out with some confusion as to what the "A" side actually would be, Looking over the reports that have been coming in this past week, there appears to be no question that the side is "See You On Sunday."

Vicki Sue Robinson continues to make good progress at several key Pop /Adult stations...moving 30-21 at WOWO and 20 -14 at KMPC.

The Beach Boys appear strong again with their current release "Rock & Roll Music" jumping 35-31 on the Pop /Adult40 this week.

Neil Diamond, Chicago and the Manhattans are making Columbia people very happy these days with their current releases doing solid business in terms of airplay and sales for both single and album releases.

Still chart topping at a great many stations is the Startend Vocal Band record...it's been number one on the PoplAdult 40 for four straight weeks.

We'd like to mention that one of the best promotion men in the business, Joe Maimone, is in the hospital. Joe's been with Capitol records for some twenty -five years and has tons of friends all over the country. He is currently at the Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck, New Jersey and would certainly appreciate cards from his many friends who may not be aware of his hospitalization.
