Musical Isle Expands;Hausfater Heads Buying NEW YORK-Musical Isle ofAmerica, a key facet of the massmerchandising division of Unit-ed Artists, is launching a majorexpansion drive involving all sixof its current locations. At theheart of the push into new busi-ness areas is the establishmentof a new national buying opera-tion, to be helmed in St. Louisby Norman Hausfater, who dou-bles as general manager of Rob-erts Record Distributing Com-pany in the mound city.

Roberts is one of MusicalIsles owned network of indiedistributors.

Norman Wienstroer, who isvice president and general man-ager of Musical Isle, is alsobased in St. Louis and will beworking closely with Hausfateron the project.

In an interview last week,Hausfater stressed that MusicalIsle today racks close to 10,000locations in more than 20 states.In addition, the company ownsLeisure Landing, a prominentretail chain in Louisiana.

Musical Isle is now operatingout of Chicago, Memphis, Kan-sas City, New Orleans and SanFrancisco, in addition to St.Louis. The Kansas City branchis a satellite department of theSt. Louis headquarters.

"Our aim in central, nation-al buying," said Hausfater, "Isto increase the business for ourown locations of course, and tobuild sales for the manufactur-ers as well. We can provide co-ordination and control of all ourlocations, through the home of-fice. We know the potential ofeach of our markets and ofcourse we are also aware of theconstantly shifting tastes ineach of those markets.

Atlantic ChartSurge Half of the new records thatenter the Top 100 Singles Chartthis week are Atlantic product.Leading the surge is RobertaFlack's "The First Time EverI Saw Your Face" at 64. Follow-ing close behind are: "Rock AndRoll" by Led Zeppelin at 74;"Day Dreaming," by ArethaFranklin at 78; "Doctor MyEyes," by Jackson Browne onAsylum at 80, and "Nutrocker"by Emerson, Lake & Palmer onCotillion at 89.

In addition to the action onthe pop scene, three new singlescome onto the R&B singles chart,also with bullets. Flack's disc at45; Aretha's at 54; and DonnyHathaway's "Ghetto Boy" onAtco at 51.

"Our hot lines betweenbranches are constantly in ac-tion, trading information aboutproduct and market conditions.With the kind of knowledge wecan gather and have at our fin-gertips, we can become a part-ner with the manufacturer onspecific product, particularlywork records. We set up coor-dinated programs of newspaperand radio advertising in the dif-ferent markets and insure maxi-mum rack exposure of the prod-uct in all our locations."

Musical Isle, through its newbuying structure, is also map-ping major expansions of activ-ity, not only in albums alone,but in singles and tapes, and ac-cessories as well. The firm iscurrently involved in a stand-ardization of its entire accessoryline, in the belief that simplifi-cation of inventory and stockingprocedures could produce a siz-able upswing of sales.

At least one additional majorlocation is expected to be op-ened within a month, Russ Bachsaid, Vice President of MusicalIsle in the company's headquar-ters office in Hollywood, andothers are under considerationfor the future to provide aneven broader geographicalspread of market coverage forthe firm.

SESAC's Sal Candilora Part ll

More on Why Three (The following is an inter-view with Salvatore B. Candil-ora, Vice President and Execu-tive Administrator of SESACInc., internationally recognizedas one of the world's foremostmusic licensing organizations).

iRecord World: Isn't it true,

if I may interrupt you at thispoint, that in recent yearsSESAC has become extremelyactive in the international mar-ket? Is this a reflection of itsorigination as a Society ofEuropean Stage Authors andComposers? Sal Candilora

Candilora: Not at all. SESAC has always had internationalinterest; however, it's true that there has been increased em-phasis in recent years. The reason for this is that SESAC nowhas agreements with performance, mechanical and synchroniza-tion organizations in virtually every country throughout theworld. These agreements are made so that licensing organizationscan administer SESAC's repertory and in administering, return toSESAC payments for the use of its repertory, payments which, inturn, are passed along to the individual publishers and writersconcerned.

The activity is increased because the world has grown smallerand communications greater and because American music of allkinds is of interest to most countries outside the United States.The increase in activity is also due to the fact that SESAC'sactivity on the home front has increased: our Nashville office, thegrowth of the SESAC repertory, and increased use of the reper-tory by recording artists and transcribed programs.

Finally, I think activity has increased because of the overall legwork the organization does. By this I mean the personal contactsmade by SESAC personnel outside the United States.

Record World: What does this international activity mean tothe composers, authors and publishers?

Candilora: By having SESAC's repertory represented through-out the world, it means that the composers, authors and publishersare going to receive payment for the use of their works abroad,not only in the performance field but, also, in areas of the mechan-ical and synchronization rights. SESAC solicits publishing com-panies abroad in an effort to interest them in sub -publishingSESAC copyrights. This is done by sending along records andlead sheets to those publishers who might be interested in sub -publishing the works. If a sub -publishing agreement is arranged,SESAC requires a cover record within six months of the signingof the contract. This all inures to the benefit of the composer,author and publisher.

Further, SESAC's international activity also concentrates onthe various radio and television stations throughout the world.Again SESAC's International Department makes personal contactswith these broadcast organizations, develops a relationship withprogram and music directors and places in their hands recordingsof works from the SESAC repertory. The use of this materialabroad has exceeded even our most hoped -for expectations. Thisis not a hit-and-miss proposition. The actual music needs of eachradio outlet are analyzed in detail and only the kind of music

to our industry. There may be a

the outlet can use is made available. This keeps interest andintegrity high.

Record World: Tell me about additional services provided tothe music user and to the music industry by SESAC?

Candilora: For a closer look at what SESAC does and how itfunctions, let me take you on a tour of our facilities and makeour first stop at the Station Relations Department. On the nationallevel, we are associate members of every major broadcasting andmusic organization throughout the country. For example, the Na-tional Association of Broadcasters, The Country Music Associa-tion, The Gospel Music Association, Music Operators of Amer-ica, and each of the state broadcaster associations. Wheneverpossible, we participate in all of their sessions, which enablesus to acquaint ourselves with the music users' problems andaffairs on a national level. On a local level, we participate instate association meetings and various conferences held indifferent parts of the country. In so doing, we acquire a first-handknowledge of what is happening in the trade. In an average year,our field staff contacts approximately 4,000 broadcasting opera-tions, meeting with station owners, managers and station person-nel at all levels.

In our Publisher Relations Department, we maintain constantlines of communication with the music industry. This departmentworks closely with our Legal staff to form a tight liaison with ouraffiliated publishers, keeping them apprised of their rights andobligations under the existing Copyright Law and its proposedrevisions.

One of the most demanding and time-consuming jobs at SESACis handled efficiently by the Copyright Index Department, whoseprimary function is to analyze copyright data and tabulate andindex all of the copyrights which make up the SESAC Repertory.This department is responsible for the day-to-day contact withmusic users requiring immediate copyright clearance and is re-sponsible for the production and maintenance of the SESACRepertory Index on a title -by -title basis and the SESAC Record -A -Ref, a listing of commercial recordings of SESAC copyrights, bothof which are published annually and distributed to SESAC licen-sees free of charge.

Record World: What type of music users are currently enjoyingSESAC coverage?

Candilora: To answer this, I should like to split the two areasof music users into broadcast and non -broadcast licensees. In thearea of broadcast licenses, we have about 7,500 licensed radioand TV stations, more than 98% of the entire industry. In thenon -broadcast licensing field, SESAC licenses thousands of ho-tels, nightclubs, theaters, stadiums, airlines, cruise ships, musi-cal traveling shows, circuses, professional sporting events.

Record World: Does SESAC still make available its transcribedlibrary service?

Candilora: Yes, in a very specialized form. To meet the needsof the broadcasting industry, SESAC developed an assortmentof custom-tailored LP packages and production aids designed tomeet specific requirements. For example, we developed the SESACDrummers series. These are open-end musical production aids,themes, fanfares, and sales starters which were sold to broad-casters in over 900 markets to use as additional programmingand sales tools by the stations' staffs. In addition, we developedsuch packages as "Trilogy," a combination of well-known hymnsand carols. Then we produced "Pacemakers for Drive Time" and"Morning Man." These were short one -minute instrumentals to

HAMILTON, JOE FANK & REYNOLDS-Dunhill 4305 (ABC)ONE GOOD WOMAN (Trousdale/Soldier, BMI)Song from the Lambert -Potter pop hitmachine sounds like vintage Jay and theAmericans material. So does the group,here. Good sound.

THE RASCALS-Columbia 45568BROTHER TREE (Purusa, ASCAP)At this point in time it would seem thatthe Rascals is Felix Cavaliere, whowrote, produced and, probably, playsmost of the instruments here. He'senough. Fine work.

PAT BOONE AND THE BOONE GIRLS-Lion 106 (MGM)MR. BLUE (Cornerstone, BMI)Pat and his four lovely daughters in arevival of the Fleetwoods' smash of1959. His best shot at a chart returnin some time.

Froma former label, an r&b sizzler in theAl Green style.

J. GEILS BAND-Atlantic 2843I DON'T NEED YOU NO MORE(Juke Joint/Walden, ASCAP)DEAD PRESIDENTS (Arc, BMI)

The past year has seen this gritty groupof rock & rollers gain a steadily grow-ing following. Latest single, from theirsecond album, will further their prog-ress still.

SOUNDS OF SUNSHINE-Ranwood 921MAKE IT HAPPEN (Bon Ton, ASCAP)NATURE BOY (Crestview, ASCAP)Instrumental -choral ensemble has carveda secure niche for itself in the MOR mar-ketplace. This one's pretty enough tocrossover pop. Try some.

SAMMY JONES-Jenesis 234YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW ME (Les/Frank, BMI)SHE DIDN'T KNOW (Les/Frank, BMI)Cleveland label has a winner with thisone. Lead singer sounds a lot like DonnyHathaway and his call -and -responsework with a girl vocal group is trulyenjoyable.

PHILIP CODY-Kirshner 301 (RCA)NOTHIN' IS FREE (Multimood, BMI)Newcomer puts across a serious subjectin a lighthearted manner. Novel ap-proach to lyric gives this pop tune addedinterest.

WILLIE DIXON-Yambo 7 77YOU GOT TO MOVE (Rathsino, BMI)PETTING THE BABY (Rathsino, BMI)The man behind the Chicago blues scenereturns on record. His sound is basic,raw blues and rhythm. For those inthe know.

NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND_United Artists 50890JAMBALAYA (ON THE BAYOU) (Fred Rose, BMI)Dirt Band gets down to the cajun -coun-try nitty gritty with this Hank Williamsfavorite. Stands a shot at both top 40and country exposure. Nifty.

MICHAEL GATELY-Janus 180oR Al l Tlir WORLD (Ensign, BMI)

HOOK ANOTHER HORSE (Ensign. BMI)Delightful lilting ballad was written byits singer with Robert John and pro-duced for him by Al Kooper. Shouldgroove its way up the charts.

GENE PITNEY-Musicor 1453I IIICT CA -'r "rip(ATV Kirchner/O"r Musir..BMI)Gene has mellowed out considerably withhis latest release, a change -of -pace pop -rocker that's a far cry from his custom-ary intensity. Pleasant.

pI.RERT KING-Stax 0121ANIIFI. OF MFRCY (East/Memphis, BMI)Bluesman's latest is more typically Al-bert King than was his work on the fine"Lovejoy" album. His "Lucy" almosttalks in this traditional style electricblues.

WATCHPOCKET-TMI 0100 (RCA)prom r Al I AR1111Nr1 Mr (Brookfield, BMI)I nvF win RE THE ANSWER(Brookfield & East/Memphis, BMI)First release under the label's newdistrib pact features group fresh fromthe "Mammy Blue" wars in rough-hewnrock ballad. Simple, but good.

MERRY CLAYTON-Ode 66003 (A&M)GIMME SHELTER (Gideon, BMI)Merry, who first came to prominencesinging back-up on the Rolling Stones'original of this piece, has had her ownrendition re-released as a result of popu-lar demand in the Philadelphia market.Strong stuff.

ROGER WILLIAMS-Kapp 2165 (MCA)LOVE THEME FROM THE GODFATHER (Famous, ASCAP)Roger's an old hand with nimble fingerswhen it comes to movie themes. Here,he works out to the tune from the movieof Mario Puzo's best-seller.

WILSON SISTERS-Gambit 004SISTER MARY RYAN (Leeds/Antique, ASCAP)I'LL ALWAYS CARE FOR YOU (Dunbar, BMI)Penned by up-and-coming NashvillianDave Loggins, this tune has a story totell and a sound that sounds as if it wasproduced especially for pop play. Be thefirst.

ROY ORBISON-MGM 14358GOD LOVE YOU (Acuff -Rose, BMI)This is more like it. The old Roy Orbi-son, that is. Written and produced withlong-time partner Joe Melson, he's re-captured his former power and style.Monumental.

NANA MOUSKOURI-Bell 196FOUR AND TWENTY HOURS (Cookaway, ASCAP)I AM A LEAF (Cookaway, ASCAP)Songstress' first for the waxworks hasa catchy, effervescent European feelingto match its English lyrics by Green-away and Cook. MOR for sure.

P.K.-Bell 164GIRL LIKE YOU (Screen Gems -Columbia, BMI)

COINS (Screen Gems -Columbia, BMI)Written by Bread -man David Gates, andperformed with something of his group'stouch, this pretty, flowing ballad meritsa listen and more.RICHARD WILLIAMS AND THE FLAME TONES-Bell 192OLDIES BUT GOODIES (MAKE ME WANT TO FALL INLOVE (Greenstreet, ASCAP)Like Little Caesar and the Romans be-fore them, this group's got a thing forthose oldies and goodies.

THE ROGUE SHOW-Paula 364GRFTTA (Unart, BMI)PUT ON SOME LOVE (Unart, BMI)Label makes one of its periodic ven-tures into the pop field and, this time,emerges with a likely, likable tune pen-ned by Alex Harvey. Well done.

ROBERT JOHN BALLACK-Roulette 7122SWEET SOUNDS OF MUSIC (Mandan, BMI)When there's nothing else left to writeabout, songwriters seem to turn to theirown craft for inspiration and subjectmatter. Appealing, of its kind.

ALBUM PICKSEAT A PEACH4LLMAN BROTHERS BAND-Capricorn 2CP 0102 (WB)Outstanding double LP is a combinationstudio/live effort, in which the latebrother Duane Allman may be heard onall but side one. Virtuosity of premierrock attraction is probably the reasonBill Graham decided on them for his-toric closing. Great. Maybe their bestachievement.

BOBBY WHITLOCKBOBBY WHITLOCK-Dunhill DSX 50121Although no credit is given, this albumfeatures Harrison, Clapton, Voorman,Gordon, etc. Is the public then to as-sume that Whitlock is doing a SammyDavis by playing all the instruments?Mistake aside, singer -songwriter shouldbe hailed for this excellent collection oforiginal rock.BEALTITUDE: RESPECT YOURSELFTHE STAPLE SINGERS-Stax STS 3002Album is released on the heels of whatwas probably one of the most importantsingles of the year. New single is "I'llTake You There," and should do almostas well. Other fine cuts include "ThisOld Town," and "We The People," but"Respect Yourself" is far and awaythe best.SAILIN' SHOESLITTLE FEAT-Warner Bros. BS 2600Previous underground reviews ear-marked this group as "one of the bestnew groups in 1971." New album beginsto show why. Obvious Leon Russell in-fluence combines with slide guitar toachieve a great rock and roll sound.Group is already being recognized onprogressive FM stations.PAINTINGSMIKE QUATRO JAM BAND-Evolution 3011 (Stereo Dimension)This album will imbed the name MikeQuatro in the minds of keyboard en-thusiasts everywhere. He plays Electro-piano, Mini -Moog, Synthesizer and or-gan with a virtuosity rarely heard. "Cir-cus," "Detroit City Blues," and theclassic "Court of the Crimson King"sound best. Big future is here.FEEDBACKSPIRIT-Epic KE 31175No, Spirit didn't die just because Jo JoGunne was born. Group now sports twonew faces, both with the same name.Al Staehely on lead vocals and bass, andbrother J. Christian on guitar. Thegroup loses nothing in transition. It'sthat same successful driving rock sound.A score.SOFTLY WHISPERING I LOVE YOUTHE ENGLISH CONGREGATION-Signpost SP 7217 (Atlantic)Cook/Greenaway smash is only one of10 on this richly produced album chockfull of striking choral arrangements.Other worthy cuts include Cat Stevens'"Morning Has Broken," the now famousCoke commercial, "A Lover's Concerto,"and George Harrison's "Something."Very tasty indeed.

ELEMENTARY DOCTOR WATSONDOC WATSON-Poppy PYS-5703 (UA)Doc and Merle Watson show why they'retwo of the finest country pickers any-where. With extraordinary support fromNorman Blake and Vasser Clements, theWatsons take us on an impeccably re-corded musical journey. Included are"Summertime," "The Last Thing OnMy Mind" and "Freight Train Boogie."

TOGETHERJESSE COLIN YOUNG-Raccoon BS 2588 (WB)In his first solo effort since becoming aYoungblood, artist, is already receivinghuge airplay from underground stations.LP is a perfect mixture of bluely rockand roll, permeated with country roots.Expert help from Richard EarthquakeAnderson on harmonica. All cuts shouldbe enjoyed.

PEACHMAN'S FARMNOAH -Dunhill DSX 50117New Canadian group should create quitea stir with a vocal style everyone is at-tempting to do. i.e., high-pitched har-mony. What sets them apart from therest is their clever use of electrical in-struments. Good driving rhythms arecomplimented by striking vocals. Watchthem.

DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVEJOE SIMON-Spring SPR 5702 (Polydor)Don't be deluded into thinking that thesmash title track is the only worthwhilecut on this LP, the case in far too manyr & b albums. This is Joe's best effort,and so much of it is the direct result ofthe expert production of Kenny Gambleand Leon Huff. A sure hit.

PARRISH & GURVITZPARRISH & GURVITZ-Decca DL -7-5336 (MCA)New songwriting/vocal team shows ver-satility on their debut album. Voicesblend nicely in well -controlled harmony.Acoustical work is deft and supportsvocals 'in fine fashion. Numerous produc-tion effects employed largely through thetalents of George (Where Have YouBeen?) Martin.COUNTRY WINERAIDERS-Columbia KC 31106Group makes the kind of music that al-ways results in commercial success. Vir-tually every cut has that top 40 ring toit, and the best ones include "HungryFor Some Lovin'," "Baby Make Up YourMind," and "Ballad of the Unloved."Well -produced by lead vocalist MarkLindsay. Longevity assured.PASS A GOOD TIMEJUSTIN WILSON-Paula LPS 2210 (Jewel)Cajun humorist has a wide appeal onall levels, so this effort should not be dis-missed as just a country album. Story-teller wheels through bits coveringtelephone poles, talking dogs and bigshotlawyers. Rated GP, album was recordedin front of the Guadalupe County FarmBureau. Very funny.



1980 CAMPUS REPORTVoting on Campus

By GARY K. COHEN

College radio, which formany years has reported onhow other people make thenews, will report during theupcoming primary elections onhow people on their own cam-puses have made the news, us-ing their newly -obtained rightto vote. Emphasis will beplaced on college station newsdepartments interviewing col-lege and high school studentson their own campuses, findingout if they did or did not vote,who they voted for, and whythey voted the way they did.

With primaries coming up inmost states around the country,it will give an excellent oppor-tunity to student journalistsand newsmen to interview stu-dents on campus.

`Kids Report'As someone connected with

the movement to get collegeradio people involved put it,"In '68 the college kids did thecampaigning; in '72 the collegekids will do the reporting."

WDCR, the campus station atDartmouth College, will feedsix commercial AM stations intheir area with news on theprimary election results. Theywill also feed UPI Audio inNew York with vote informa-tion. Efforts are being made tocoordinate reports from allover the country on differentelection days - New Hamp-shire's primary is March 7,Florida's, March 14, and theIlinois primary, March 21. Col-lege stations in each of theseareas will be feeding reportsto each other and to commer-cial stations, including newsreports, actualities, interviews,etc. The college radio peoplewill be reporting from the can-didates' campaign headquar-

ters and from polling placesaround the city.

One of the reasons, ofcourse, for the interest in theprimary elections is that forthe first time, college studentsare able to vote and make theirvoices heard. The fact thatthey're voting makes it relevantto them for the first time.

Also of interest, WCCR, thestation at City College in NewYork, taped the Convention forNew Voters, held in Queens thispast weekend. The tape will beedited and made available tocollege stations around the coun-try.

This will be an opportunityfor college radio to make itsvoice heard in the industry, onmatters that will effect theirfutures throughout the comingyears.

This information will gohand -in -hand with A&M's Vot-er Registration drive, which isnow in full swing. It is A&M'sgoal to register new voters oncampus, and to involve themin the upcoming National elec-tions.

Elektra recording group Lin-disfarne begins an Americantour this week, which will cov-er a number of college cam-puses. The tour began with aCarnegie Hall concert appear-ing with the Kinks.

GWP Moves on Coast HOLLYWOOD-Gerard W.Purcell Associates, Ltd., whosemain office is at 133 Fifth Ave.in New York City, announcedlast week that it has moved itsHollywood office into largerquarters at 2445 Horse ShoeCanyon Road, East, Hollywood,Calif. 90046 (213-656-1950).

t HIGH, LOWAND IN BETWEEN a

Z"It was heartening to see the warm reaction which greeted

Townes Van Zandt, for he is one of the most neglected, and one of themost talented, writers working in the folk idiom. He is something

of a star in the South and Southwest, particularly around Texas, and hisroots are obviously in the blues of that region. At the same time,

has assimilated the pains of the city life and the restlessness of countrylife to form a truly unique and personal lyric vision that is just nowbeginning to be understood. His natural country -tinged vocals

add a tremendous flavor to his songs. His talking blues ("TalkingThunderbird" and "Mrs. Gold and Mr. Mud") are among the best of the

idiom, while his ballads ("Tecumseh County" and "To LiveIs To Fly" from his new album) are almost pared to the bone in content,

insinuate a worldly vision." - Boston After Dark

NEW YORK-Anyone whowas at all into rock music inthe mid -and late -sixties knowsthe voice of Colin Blunstonewell. As lead singer of theZombies, Blunstone was heardon some of the best records ofthat era, from "She's NotThere" to "Tell Her No" to,much later, "Time of the Sea-son."

After the Zombies broke up,Blunstone took a job with aninsurance firm, which in theworld of rock and roll is con-sidered a very freaky thing todo. That life didn't agree withhim for long, though, and nowhe's back doing what he likesbest, writing songs, singingthem and making records.

Colin's first Epic solo albumhas just been released here.It's called "One Year" and itcontains his British hit "Say

Fantasy Team Skeds BERKELEY - A four -manFantasy promotion team willcover 13 cities over a three-weekperiod beginning February 28 ina drive to spur reaction to newproduct.

You Don't Mind" and his newAmerican single "CarolineGoodbye," which also has allthe earmarks of a hit.

Asked about his return tothe music scene, he had this tosay: "I don't get very involvedin the music business. I don'tlisten much, and as a result mymaterial is completely differentfrom everything else. That's themain reaction I've had fromeveryone who's heard the al-bum."

As far as a live tour is con-cerned, Blunstone is definitelyinterested, but nothing is con-firmed yet. An integral part ofhis new sound is a string quar-tet, which presents practicaldifficulties for touring. Onething for sure, though, as Colinwas quick to emphasize: "I'mdefinitely back in music tostay." Mike Sigman

Tour"Heavy Turbulence" by MerlSaunders with Tom Fogerty andJerry Garcia have already re-ceived extensive airplay andheavy initial sales in the Los An-geles and San Francisco markets.

"The Family" is the first sin-gle from Shelley Nemetz.

Can You Tell a Record By Its Cover?There is no question-in the stylish '70s-of the prominent

role that packaging plays in the merchandising of music and otherrecorded matter. The flowering of experimentation in the pack-aging and display of records witnessed during recent years hasmade the album cover, more than ever, the medium for creativephotography, graphic design and the "finer arts." Look aroundand you find that record covers and accompanying art, such asposters included in packages, are setting styles copied aroundthe world.

It's not just a matter of a few new cover ideas replacing theold cliche-the all-purpose pretty girl is half light and décolleté.Album packaging has become sophisticated, witty and delightful,and frequently-and perhaps all to the good in an industry thatcherishes publicity-controversial.

In delving into the field of packaging, a field that is just begin-ning to be explored, Record World postulated that myriads offactors are in play and in question. How do you package a recordso that it successfully accomplishes a number of complex aims?How do you bring attention to a new artist? How do you sustaininterest in an established artist? How much control can orshould the artist have over his album? How much the art direc-tor? What are the ideal and real circumstances under which pack-aging is executed, and do they ever coincide? Are liner notes nec-essary, or, in the recent trend toward less liner notes, has theconsumer suffered? Where do you put an artist's name so thatit is prominent no matter how the album is displayed? Has pack-aging become too sophisticated? What do artists think? What doart directors think? What do heads of merchandising think? Whatdo dealers think? Can a good cover sell a bad album? Can a goodalbum be hurt by a bad cover?

Record World asked these questions of diverse, opinionatedtradesters, and their answers are relayed in the following pages,in accord with Record World's hope that the industry will bebetter acquainted with the people, progress and problems of whathas become a irrevocable rewarding, serious art.

Col Packaging: Bring Back LinersBy MITCHELL FINK

NEW YORK - Since thepackaging of album product atColumbia Records is such anintegral part of their overallmerchandising structure, Rec-ord World, in an effort to un-derstand Columbia's conceptualideas on graphics, spoke withBruce Lundvall, Vice Presidentof Merchandising and JohnBerg, Creative Director of Pack-aging.

Lundvall, representing thecompany that probably releases450 to 500 albums per year, hasstrong and exact feelings on thesubject of graphics. "Graphicsdemands more creativity in thisindustry than perhaps any otherindustry in the world. The rec-ord's package must containthree basic elements. (1) Itmust support and amplify theimage of the artist, (2) thepackage must stand out on racksin stores, and (3) the packagemust be informative."

As you will see, point (3) be-comes the main topic of contro-versy. Lundvall: "The fact ofthe industry drifting away fromliner notes, and we share theguilt, has proven to be a bigmistake. The consumer is beingdeprived of necessary informa-tion, especially informationabout new artists. Impulse buy-ing then becomes less of a fac-tor, when in reality, it shouldaccount for a decent percentageof sales. According to the Gil-bert Youth Report, a buyer willphysically study a package, per-haps break the cellophane, andif he doesn't like what he seeson the inside, the impulse saleis lost. We then face the prob-lems of huge returns, because

the next buyer will probablypurchase the album with cello-phane intact. Yes, we see thatas a big mistake, and, yes, wesee ourselves returning to theuse of liner notes."

Columbia's John Berg, Crea-tive Director of Packaging isconstantly involved in Artist Re-lations for the simple fact thatartists are so deeply involved


Good Trends, Bad TrendsBy JOEL FRIEDMAN

President, WEA

BURBANK - One of thegreatest trends over the lastseveral years has been that agreater proportion of albumsnow include lyrics in the pack-age either on the back or on adouble -spread inside or insidethe sleeve in some way. Whilethe record company is fairlyloathe to increase the cost, theydo recognize a loyalty to theartist and a responsibility tothe consumer; so they have ab-sorbed the expense.

This new awareness by theconsumer means that he wantsthe lyrics and this helps himunderstand the music that muchmore. One reason that this wasnever done as much before is

because the songs themselvesweren't quite as meaningful, buttoday there is a social signi-ficance about those words and so


RCA in Brown Bags

Grunt (RCA -distributed) 'Bark' Artwork

NEW YORK - Some yearsago, RCA Records had a con-versation about record pack-aging with the eminent musiccritic of the New York Times,Harold Schonberg. At the con-clusion of the discussion,Schonberg said: "I don't carehow you package records . . .

you can send them to me inpaper bags. The importantthing is the records."

Well, RCA Records has comearound to Schonberg's thinkingand recently had notable suc-cess by packaging a JeffersonAirplane album in a plainbrown paper bag. The packagewas unique and legitimaterather than gimmicked, and itworked. Original and eye-catching, it helped sell theJefferson Airplane album. Itwas developed by RCA's Man-ager of Product Art & Photog-raphy, Acy Lehman, workingclosely with Jefferson Airplane.

Packaging is important torecorded entertainment, butthere is no formula; each al-

bum has to be treated differ-ently. Ideally, the packaging isan extension of the album it-self. Many people in merchan-dising and marketing are con-vinced that there is one re-quisite from which all albumsmust begin these days-iden-tification in the top two orthree inches of space so it canbe exposed properly on theracks. But even this is not aset rule. Any cover concept isindividualistic, and success orfailure of an album's art restsin the abilities of those con-cerned with its development tograsp the needs of the particu-lar album. At RCA Records, thepersons who usually developalbum concept are the head ofthe product center, the artist(and/or the artist's representa-tive) and RCA's art director.

Sometimes, RCA finds it im-portant to use pictures and/orphotographs of the artist, par-ticularly when said artist hasbeen established as a recog-


Ivy Hill: Full of Firsts NEW YORK-When it comesto record packaging, Ivy HillLithographers has an impres-sive list of "firsts" to its credit:the first record album, Decca's"Desert Song," with a pictureon its cover; the first seven-inch picture sleeve; and thefirst twelve -inch dust jacketinner sleeve too.

Ivy Hill also developed thefirst four-color ink that couldwithstand the high heat pres-sure of record pressing.

In addition, both the Ivy -Pakand Duo -Pak packaging proc-esses were developed by IvyHill for specific projects andwent on to revolutionize therecord packaging industry.

Ivy Hill is a complete, in-house operation for both boardand paper with plants in LosAngeles and Queens, N.Y., theonly supplier with major facili-ties on both coasts.

Ivy Hill's plants total 200,000square feet and are humidity -controlled and air-conditioned.With its own fleet of diesel -

powered tractor trailers, IvyHill has eliminated the needfor air freight and made pos-sible the simultaneous deliveryof packages to all pressingplants.

Have EverythingAccording to Ivy Hill chair-

man of the board Lew Garlick,"there is no printed item thatthe record industry uses thatwe can't provide." Besides rec-ord jackets, Ivy Hill is equip-ped to fabricate inner sleeves,labels, librettos and other in-serts including posters, as wellas 8 -track and cassette tapepackaging.

Ivy Hill "does business withall major labels and 56 recordaccounts in all," according toGarlick, and stocks inventoriesfor its larger clients. "In fact,"he went on, "we feel we're fullya part of the record industry.Ivy Hill hold NARAS cardnumber seven and, as a memberof NARM, we contribute ascholarship to that organiza-tion.

Elektra's Harvey: 'Package the Artist' NEW YORK-Perhaps evenImore than most record com-panies, Elektra believes in"packaging their artists," from

Lundvull, BergOn Col Look(Continued from page 4)with their particular packages.Berg: "It is essential that theartist is involved with graphics.If they're involved from the be-ginning, it alleviates so manyproblems at the end. We runinto that problem mainly deal-ing with groups, since they haveso many disagreements amongthemselves. An artist like Dylanis easy to work with. He's therefrom the beginning and knowshow to follow through."

Berg used a new approach indesigning the new Paul Simonpackage. The slip -case doubleShor-pack was used, which isprotective, while relatively in-expensive. One down and 499to go, but eight designers, aseven man mechanical staff, sixproof readers, four literary spe-cialists, three photographersand one photo editor will some-how get the job done.

the studio to the rack, in a stylethat tastefully reflects both theartist's individuality and thelabel's high sense of "total de-sign." As General Manager andExecutive Vice President ofElektra, with long experiencein the field of graphic design,Bill Harvey has the frequentlychallenging responsibility tobalance aesthetics and econom-ics, overseeing packaging fromlay -out to manufacture.

In a recent interview, he wasquick to point out some basicdifferences in Elektra's ap-proach to the visual representa-tion of its talent. "In the lastsix months," he told us, "we'vebeen producing some of ourmost innovative packaging fornew artists, who, in today's ex-tremely competitive market,need the extra edge an especial-ly striking package will givethem. We feel that after radioairplay, packaging is the mostimportant means we have ofestablishing a new artist. Wetry to design jackets that willbe 'timeless' in the same waya book is timeless. The con-sumer's first impression shouldbe added to and refined whenhe brings the record home. Tothat end, we've worked withfirms like Album Graphics, Inc.

on new kinds of die -cuts, whichwe've used with great successon such albums as Bread'sTabby I'm -a Want You' andLonnie Mack's `Hills of Indi-ana.' Of course, ideas like thisare costly, but essential tocreating the best possible cir-cumstances for selling ourproduct."

Full -Color FirstElektra was the first company

to print a full -color picture ofa rock group on both sides ofits outer sleeve, eliminatingalong the way what Harveythought were superfluous linernotes. "Love was our first entryinto the rock field, and a groupwithout a pre -established fol-lowing. We wanted to expressthe graphics what we thoughtwas unique about the group:verbally, we couldn't tell any-body anything about the groupthat the music couldn't explainbetter."

When Elektra's budget classi-cal label, the Nonesuch series,was launched, a compromisewas reached that was tailoredto the peculiar assets of thenew line. Each album had astunning work of original arton the cover, with the lay -outconsistent over the entire line,

Bill Harvey

and with comprehensive linernotes and credits on the otherside. Most recently, Nonesuchhas continued to benefit fromdesign innovations. Harveycommented, "So many peoplehad asked us for reproductionsof Nonesuch cover art thatwe've incorporated 'pop -out' re-productions that fit into a spe-cially designed sleeve."

"The first job of merchandis-ing," Harvey summed up, "isto create an image. We believethat we can do that best bydealing with each kind of prod-uct as it comes up, and apply-ing the generally sound prin-ciples we've found to work itthe past. Just as we try tomake Elektra albums sound bet-ter, we hope to make them lookjust that much better as well."

You Can't Buy A Shore*In Peking .... Yet

By FLOYD S. GLINT RTVice President, Marketing,Shorewood Packaging Corp.

It's only a matter of time,but with Shorepak now avail-able from Shorewood plants inthe U.S., England, Canada, andHolland, can the emerging op-portunities for the record in-dustry in China be far behind?

Perhaps not. But, who wouldhave thought just five yearsago when Shorepak and Unipakwere introduced to the recordindustry as a new concept injacket technology, that theywould today be a trend -settingpackaging standard for con-temporary music.

When you think of it, it wasalso just five years ago whenthe typical record jacket waslittle more than a protectivecontainer for its contents-with a little splash of color onthe front cover and black andwhite liner notes on the back.A jacket printed front and backin four-color process was ararity. Double -fold jacketswere limited to an occasionaluse for Broadway shows andspecial classical record pack-ages. Youth -oriented point ofsale merchandising was virtu-ally unknown. The rack mer-chandising boom was on. Theease of counterfeiting an LPand its conventional recordjacket was causing devastatingeconomic blows to the industry.A need arose for a better meth-od of merchandising music.

In 1968, Paul Shore, Presi-dent of Shorewood PackagingCorporation, combined the bas-ic technology of his 1963 in-vention of Shorepak, theworld's first one-piece recordjacket, with an automated jack-et production system that en-abled the record industry toorder small or large quantitiesof wrap -around color jacketsquickly and inexpensively. Con-vinced that he had found abetter and less expensive wayto produce visually excitingjackets, he also believed theindustry would be receptive toa positive change in recordpackaging. The enthusiastic in-dustry response to the newShorewood packaging systemignited the color explosion thathas grown in intensity, andsparked the many dramatic in-novations that followed.

The basic differences be-tween the three-piece conven-tional jacket and the one-pieceShorewood jacket are quitestriking. The Shorewood jacketeliminates the need for the

Floyd Glinert

separate printing of covers andliners in one location and theshipment of those componentsto a fabricator who has topaste them onto grey card-board. The Shorewood systemprints directly on speciallyformulated white board andthen feeds this one-piece print-ed unit into an automated fab-ricating machine which in oneoperation die cuts, folds, andglues Shorepak and Unipak atfive times the fabrication speedof conventional jackets. TheShorewood direct board systemsaves time and freight costs toship the printed componentsto the fabricator. By making itpossible to buy a finished jack-et from one source instead oftwo or more, time as well asadditional administrative costsare saved.

To the art director, theShorewood direct board print-ing concept represented a newart form with unlimited newfreedoms of creative expres-sion. No longer did he have tolimit his design to compensatefor the unsightly border of acover as it wraps around ajacket. Now he could designedge -to -edge color on eachprinted surface, with precisespine registration, giving thetotal package a cleaner morecontemporary look.

Also, he discovered that theflexibility of the board mediummade it easy to add creativeinnovations to a packagethrough the use of die -cutting,texturing, special coatings, andembossing.

To the marketing, merchan-dising and sales managers,board meant fresh new oppor-tunities to promote and proper-ly merchandise the graphicpower of their album art at thepoint of sale.

They also quickly learnedthat the speed of the Shore-wood system was geared to pro-duce huge quantities of qual-ity -controlled jackets in the

London's Packaging Priorities NEW YORK-When it comesto breaking a new artist or mar-keting product by anyone otherthan an established superstar,the look of the package getshigh priority attention at Lon-don Records.

In the words of London VicePresident for Sales and Market-ing Herb Goldfarb, "we are re-leasing less merchandise todaythan we were a few years ago.With a major star, you don'thave to worry that much aboutdisplay space; but with a newartist or an MOR album, thepackage becomes very, very im-portant. It has to look a littledifferent from the others in com-peting for display space in the

stores and on the racks."The Art Director at London

is Vince Biondi, who secondedGoldfarb's remarks and addedthat "the extra edge of an at-tractive package can make allthe difference."

As a prime example of thisconcept, Goldfarb pointed to thesuccess of the latest in an in-credibly long line of Mantovanialbums. The LP is called "ToLovers Everywhere U. S. A.,"and the package is literally anenvelope. In the MOR situation,in which many records containthe same songs and similarcovers, the Mantovani cover mayhave been that little extra thathelped it sell so well.

Moving to the rock area, Gold-farb and Biondi stressed thatpackaging here is usually morecomplex: "In this area, the art-ists usually want to make astatement about themselves inthe packaging as well as in thegrooves. Sometimes this presentsproblems with the many kindsof inserts and unique covers,but if it makes the album abetter buy for the consumer,we go ahead with it." Exam-ples of this include recentMoody Blues covers and theforthcoming Savoy Brown al-

features elaboratecover art.

London also devotes quite abit of attention to the packagingof classical LPs. Again the needis obvious, since so many classi-cal pieces are performed hun-dreds of times, and the some-thing visual is needed to helpattract the consumer. The mostoutstanding cover London hasproduced in this area is theErik ,Satie "Through a LookingGlass," which is a Grammynominee.

Packaging also plays an extraimportant role in releases ofolder material by artists now ondifferent labels. Goldfarbpointed to the Cat Stevens "VeryYoung and Early Songs" andJohn Mayall's "Memories" aspackages which do not deceivethe consumer into thinking heis getting current product.

Finally, it was emphasizedthat there is a special art toknowing when to put an artist'spicture on an album cover. Lon-don wants everyone to know AlGreen's face, so Biondi spenttwo days in Memphis doingnothing but shooting picturesof Al for the "Let's Stay To-gether" cover. On the otherhand, for the Yma Sumac al-bum "Miracle" they felt theydidn't need a picture; insteadVince painstakingly designed anillustration which he describedas "exotic contemporary."

Allan Steckler On Packaging One record company which isknown for :ts tasteful approachto packaging as well as record-ing is Beatle-owned Apple Rec-ords. The secret seems to liein the principle that an artist -owned label will reflect the art-ist's tastes in every aspect.Though Lennon, McCartney,Harrison and Starr have alwaysbeen known as distinctive musicmen, their consciousness towardgraphics and media is just askeen.

The man responsible for keep-ing it all together is Allan Steck-ler, Creative Director for Apple.In all phases of packaging,Steckler works hand in handwith each artist, who rely agreat deal on his judgment.

Aside from helping the "ex -Beatles" (esp. the stunning"Bangle Desh" and "Imagine"packages), Steckler was respon-sible for the Rolling Stones,"Hot Rocks" LP, from the con-

cept to its production. He hadcomplete control over both the"Raga" and "El Topo" sound-track albums.

Though extremely graphic -minded, Steckler believes that"graphics don't sell albums. It'sstill the artist and the music."Only in the case of classicalproduct does packaging seem tosell the album. Since the classi-cal field is so small and competi-tive, the package then becomesa strong selling point."

While at London Records,Steckler brought a fresh ap-proach to opera product by hav-ing fashion photographers dothe cover shots of the operastars.

Because of the direct involve-ment of the label's owners withthe product, Steckler feels atApple "packaging is very im-portant, adding to the pleasureand enjoyment of each album."

Fred Goodman

Friedman(Continued from page 4)the trend has evolved.

Feedback: We certainly getfeedback on an album cover thata department store doesn't wantto accept because they may feelthere are lewd or pornographicimplications. We just got someobjections to the new JerryGarcia album. So all you can do,is to call it back or put a stickerover the shrinkwrap portion ofthe cover.

Some of the more relevantpackages we've done in the lastsix months to a year would haveto include the last GratefulDead album, the Beach Boys'"Surf's Up" package and alsothe Mary Travers album forits simplicity.

In terms of major changes, Iwould like to see the industryas a whole, identify cataloguenumbers with price codes. Thenan album selling for $5.98 wouldstart a 5000 series. That waythe consumer wouldn't be anymore confused by cataloguenumbers than the machineswould be.

Extras in the package, suchas posters, badges and patches,do not sell the package. You'reselling records and once you getrecords into that kind of genre(such as cereals and buyingthem for the toys inside) youcheapen the whole concept. Someyears ago a very enterprisingBoston dealer packaged somependant watches of nominalvalue inside an album that wouldappeal to teenage girls. He ad-

vertised it and the kids came inscreaming. Well, what were theybuying-the watch or the al-bum? The record businessshouldn't get into the watchbusiness. There are many de-vices that can be used to sellrecords but it isn't necessary.David Cassidy records arebought because of what he hasto say and the way he sings.

One other major change Iwould like to see is that when acompany spends a great deal ofmoney on a package, it shouldnot be covered up when it getsinto the store. I've seen albumswith as many as three stickers.When you get three pop hits outof an album, the store immedi-ately says they need a stickerfor each of them. Also, the re-tailer covers them up once theyget in the rack so the problemcan be two -fold.

Alice Cooper Talks "Throughout our relation-ship with Warner Bros., wehave always made it clear thatwe wanted complete control ofour 'image' in every aspect,including packaging. Since weare such a visual and dramaticact to begin with, we've triedto make sure that our albumjackets have reflected this inthe most striking way. Andsince several of us have artschool backgrounds we feltthat we were unusually well-equipped to handle the pack-aging on our own. Besides, Ithink every kid should have asadistic calendar hanging inhis bathroom. I'm always look-ing for heroes, and I imaginethat our fans are, too."



Working With the ArtistBy ED THRASHER.

Art Director, Warners/Reprise

BURBANK-One of the big-gest changes in preparing pack-ages for product today is thatyou are working on a muchcloser schedule of deadlines.Until about six years ago wewould work (during my sevenyears at Capitol) with up tosix-month deadlines and gen-erally the trend was one of sur-face packaging. When in doubt,we would use a pretty girl andyou could shoot enough for sixcovers in two days.

We work quite closely withour artists now on their albumsand I would say that about75% of them have cover ap-proval with us. But much ofthis kind of consultation isdone on a goodwill basis. Noone would force a cover unlessthe artist was simply a nega-tive person. If you did give anartist an unusually rough timeon a cover and were not at allflexible, then it would justmake it that much rougher onthe next album. Many prob-lems can arise with the artistif he wants certain stocks and/or materials that are difficultto obtain. Then the problemsof shipping time, re -orders andback stock of materials becomemore apparent. This kind ofconflict can delay an LP at itspeak. We had a situation ariserecently with the Faces' "LongPlayer" album. They had anidea which utilized a total de-luxe packaging concept with acustomized stock. We were as-sured by that particular millthat there would be no prob-lems in ordering. However"Jesus Christ Superstar" be-gan to move in a big way andthey used the same exact stock.MCA/Decca, we were told,bought all of the existing stockfor their own album and wefound we had to convert toanother type.

Faces Tell StoryThe Faces are a good ex-

ample of an artist coming upwith an imaginative and usefulidea. Certain artists tend todictate the look of an albumwhen they aren't really quali-fied, and occasionally we willdo as many as three differentcovers to try and please a de-sire they themselves aren'teven sure of. Good conceptsand constructive thoughts arealways welcomed from the re-cording artist on their pack-ages along with our ideas andexecution. These are the pack-ages that usually turn out thestrongest.

It is difficult to have a clear

picture on the exact impact ofa particular package. But Iwould say that no consumerbuys just a jacket, except per-haps a small percentage of "im-pulse" buyers who may go intoa retail outlet with the intentof buying one album and findthemselves intrigued by the ap-pearance of another. Today theconsumer deserves the best pos-sible package because it trulyculminates a total creative ef-fort made by the artist(s) andproducer. The consumer wantsgood art and pictures of theartist probably as much as hewants to know who the sidemenare and where the album wasrecorded. It's also one of theprime ingredients in doing acomprehensive job on a newartist.

Barbara Keith, for instance,(a new Warners artist) cameinto my office, sat down, playedand sang some of her songs andthat gave us a fine indicationof the best way to express hergraphically when it comes timefor her first release. Some es-tablished artists will occasion-ally bring in a pile of snapshotsand other visual aids and say"here, make an album jacketout of it" and this is alwaysless satisfactory.

Future: Art in packaging hastaken its most positive thrustin the last two to three yearsbecause: 1) the artist is in-volved and is demanding morefrom his package, 2) the publicis more aware and, therefore,is used to getting more from aconsumer standpoint, and 3)the competition in art directionis getting healthier all the time.To me the challenge will al-ways be in how interesting asimple 12" cover (front andback) can be; not in how manyways it can fold out or howmany colors can be used.

Ivy Hill(Continued from page 3)

Garlick calls the album cover"a pure art form-one of thefew places where creativephotography is called for thesedays." Though Ivy Hill's majoraccounts have their own cre-ative departments that supplyit with finished package de-signs, the firm works closelywith those account's art direc-tors to insure that their cre-ative concepts are mechanicallypractical and economicallyfeasible.

In addition to Garlick, theofficers of Ivy Hill are: MurryGordon, president; Rusty Muir,executive vice president, WestCoast; and Ellis Kern, execu-tive vice president, East Coast.

Hartstone on Packaging

Lee Hartstone

By LEE HARTSTONEWherehouse Chain

TORRANCE-From the re-tailers point of view we noticemore of our customers paying agreat deal of attention to albumpackaging and, in particular, theart. Internal parts of a packagesuch as posters are becomingimportant. They don't create asale, but they do make a happycustomer. More effort is goinginto packaging all the time. Onealbum to stimulate a great dealof interest in recent years wasthe Rolling Stones' "StickyFingers" album. I doubt, how-ever, that packaging ever madea hit out of an otherwise me-diocre album. I would not wantto say packaging is unimportant,

but I also would not want to tryand relate it to a marked in-crease or decrease in sales.

Simplicity is as much a trendas anything. The chrome paperhas disappeared now and hasproven itself to be more of aproduction problem than a salesasset. I don't feel that the oddshaping we see occasionally isnecessary and the consumerdoesn't appreciate it either.

Problems: A classic case ofinsufficient packaging is theBangle Desh album because thecustomer did not know what wasinside. We saw customers put itdown because they didn't knowwhat was inside. That was abad package with a good intent.Let me stress again that thecustomer does want to know thealbum's contents and those mustbe related.

Another problem is that be-tween the record getting thinnerand the jacket board gettinglighter, the customer sometimesasks if there is a record insideat all. A good stiff board builtin to the jacket would save thecompanies a lot of money ondefectives and returns. Some ofthe packaging today causes agreat deal of warpage and thisisn't factory warpage as muchas subsequent handling warpageafter the consumer gets the rec-ord out of the store.

Mazur Covers His Doings NEW YORK-Ruby Mazur,former art director for Para-mount and for the past sixmonths head of his own com-pany, Ruby Mazur's Art De-partment, dropped by RecordWorld recently to report onhis latest doings.

Mazur now works out of hisfirm's West Coast office, leav-ing East Coast chores to SteveAlterwein.

The company is now han-dling covers for such labelsas Mainstream, Blue Thumb,King and Family (he did therecent Billy Joel album, "ColdSpring Harbor"), and manyother deals are pending.

The most exciting thing heis into now is the cover forthe live "Lenny" album on BlueThumb. The package is adouble LP set recorded live onBroadway, and it is themost challenging thing Mazurhas undertaken yet: "this willbe the hardest cover I've hadto do; you can't just do an or-dinary cover. You have to dojustice to Lenny Bruce." He alsodesigned the cover for the cur-rent Dave Mason "Headkeeper"LP, which has been out only two

weeks and is already selling ex-ceptionally well.

More expansion is in storefor the art department, whichnow handles advertising andother artwork for many of itsclients. They are having theirown photo studios built, andeventually Mazur hopes to openan office in Nashville and pos-sibly even expand to Europevia a London office.

Glaser on the Square Packaging is Personal

Milton Glaser

NEW YORK-Though onlya portion of his activity is con-fined to record package and re-lated design, Milton Glaser ofPush Pin Studios has made hismark in the field.

Perhaps best known for hiswork for Peter, Paul and Mary- he has designed all theiralbum jackets - Glaser hasworked extensively for Colum-bia and Warner Bros., amongother major accounts, duringthe 20 -year history of his firm.

Poppy LookGlaser's most recently -com-

pleted design project in therecording field was a completecorporate indentification pro-gram for Kevin Eggers' PoppyRecords-everything from sta-tionery to logos and labels toalbum covers.

When asked to comment onthe extremely attractive labelhe came up with for Poppy,Glaser explained that it wassomething that would be seenin the home and should there-fore be less "abrasive" thanlabels had been in the past.

When asked to design a rec-ord package, Glaser first talksto the executives and artists-recording artists, that is-in-volved in the project in orderto glean their thoughts on, anddesires for, the look of thefinished product. He then lis-tens to the music involved-atthis point, he claims he'drather not design an album themusic of which he didn't like.

Economic restrictions, too,are taken into account.

Straight ForwardGlaser prefers the straight-

forward, functional package,terming double -fold one -recordalbums "gratuitous." He con-cedes, though, that the largerspace can be fun to work withat times. Still, he prefers the"physical demands of thesquare" when he's designingan album.

While an album's designshould reflect the quality andtype of its music in order toprovoke impulse sales, it ispossible, he says, that quiet,moody music may require astriking package in order tospur over-the-counter activity.

No FormulaIn other words there's no

formula for effective packagingdesign.

Push Pin Studios "runs thegamut of graphic design," ac-cording to Glaser, who is, whenhe's not designing record al-bums, design director of NewYork Magazine, a teacher atthe School of Visual Arts, andvery busy.

The Bowers Wrap Story As most inventions are in-spired by necessity, so did theBowers wrap -a -round poly -lined record sleeve come intobeing. Polylined sleeves hadbeen around a 'long time andthese sleeves offered a measureof protection for the many finerecords made today. Most weremade by lining the sleeve witha strip of polyethylene; thisstrip being held in place bystrips of gum. The polywrinkled badly and while it didstrengthen the bottom of thesleeve, it left the two sides asweak as the scored and foldededge of the outer layer of paper.If this paper should be scoreda little heavy, the sleeve wasweakened even more and veryoften the record would breakthrough this scored edge mak-ing this sleeve useless as a pro-tective device.

It was to this need that agroup of men at the Bowers En-velope Company focused their

attention. They decided that, ifthey could reinfore the two sideedges with poly, they wouldhave the best sleeve made to-day. A search of the patentoffice showed that no inventionof this nature had been re-corded.

A new company, Bowers Rec-ord Sleeve Company was formedand five years were spent indesigning and making a ma-chine which could manufacturethis sleeve competitively. In-corporated into the machinewas the ability to wed the polyto the paper with a continuousflow of gum so that the largewrinkles in the existing sleevewould be eliminated.

These sleeves have been ac-knowledged as the finest sleevemade by every record manu-facturer to whom it has beenshown. The acceptance hasbeen nation-wide and shipmentsare being made to all parts ofthe country and to Canada.

By ALLEN A. DAVISVice President, Creative

Services, Capitol

Packaging is the graphicrepresentation of the artistwithin his statement and ofcourse, the prime tool of market-ing that artist, that music. Art-ists today, more and more, aredeeply involved in packaging aspart of their total statement tothe public. At Capitol, we de-velop everything from the pack-aging concept to the advertis-ing/merchandising campaign, tocomplement the artist and hiscreation.

Packaging carries the identityof an artist. In "BloodrockU.S.A.," for example, the groupplays music which is their inter-pretation of our times - violentand turbulent. The packaging re-flects that violence, and the ad-vertising/merchandising cam-paign reflects the packaging.The total is the whole.

The album cover, as a graphicinterpretation of the artist'screativity, demands that we cre-ate the most vital evidence pos-sible. In that field, we are con-stantly searching for uniquemethods of packaging to enhancethe visual trip. Of course, weare limited by industry stand-ardization-disc size and retailfixturing - but we're unlimitedwhen it comes to creativitywithin these boundaries, in die -cuts, fold -outs, board printing,stock selection, etc. to enhancethe visual impact. Traffic's latestalbum is uniquely shaped, as isthe round "E Pluribus Funk,"and the latest Lettermen albumis a die -cut jacket printed insideand out, with a printed innersleeve (a borrowed idea, by theway, but then when you're in acreative industry you must beaware of everyone's creativityand not afraid to follow as wellas lead). Unique packaginglends itself to advertising andmerchandising effectiveness, en-hancing the visual impact bymaking the package itself thekey element in a campaign.

Depends On ArtistIt's all dependent upon the

artist. Country music artists,for instance, have loyal follow-ings, and those fans are per-sonally involved with their art-ists and their music and theirneed to identify is satisfied withvisual likenesses of the artistson the packaging. Visual like-nesses do not have to be slickphotographs either. Look at thefantastic Lennon cover on"Imagine," where Apple Recordsused a Polaroid shot taken byYoko, to illustrate the total manin an emotional way.

Dark room treatment of nega-

tive film can create the mostcompelling visual likenesses andoften given you a package su-perior to line graphics. With theintroduction of new artists, theidentity factor necessary toproject, most often, is the com-pelling guideline to early pack-aging.

Everybody in ActArt, which is packaging and

what we're talking about, is per-sonal. Everybody's an art direc-tor, and so often, with lines dis-tributed by Capitol, we are pro-vided camera ready art or film-without a thought given to thefact that what might appeal inthe U.K., Germany, Japan, etce-tera, may be a disservice to theartist in terms of acceptance inthe U.S. marketplace. Each mar-ket is unique, like the artists init, and graphic appeal is a mat-ter of an individual's exposureto art; it varies, too. It alsogoes off on trendy paths notunique to this industry, thePeter Max craze or the SanFrancisco Poster school.

Packaging is personal. It's theartist, and with the recordedproduct, it's his prime image.It's entirely satisfying to get agraphic representation of thatartist; something that reallymelds with him, lives with hismusic, is part of the whole.Then, even more satisfying, ismerchandising the hell out of it.

Karol on Packaging:More Information Retailer Ben Karol believesin a practical conventional pack-age that never varies. "Recordsshould fit into racks in a stand-ard manner. The Grand Funkalbum caused unnecessary prob-lems. It can't be stocked proper-ly. No one knows where to putit. All odd shapes are a problem.

"The lack of information hurtsdrastically. We can't afford tokeep the customer in the dark.Take the Bangla Desh album forexample. Believe it or not, manypeople out there have no ideawho is on the album. The pack-age certainly provides no infor-mation. If the public was aware,I'm sure sales would be greaterthan they are now.

"We appreciate covers employ-ing good taste and originality,and we certainly tend to remem-ber those records the most. I'llalways remember the Chicagopackage because of its simplic-ity and good taste. In the finalanalysis, if we provide more in-formation, the customer will begetting more for his money."



Packaging at BellUp -to -Date NEW YORK-The people atBell Records are as seriousabout their album packaging asthey are about their product.Of course, the package is reallypart of the product, they say,and although no specific figuresor precise gauges are available,the innovative packaging con-cepts Bell's staff has been im-plementing lately have un-doubtedly succeeded in givingtheir records increased expo-sure.

Recently Bell Vice PresidentIry Biegel, Art Director BevWeinstein and Album SalesManager Gordon Bossin discus-sed their company's past, pres-ent and future packaging ideas.Biegel began by noting that"we have meetings to coordi-nate everything. We take theartist and consider the audiencehe is reaching, and togethertry to come up with ideas. Takethe Partridge Family 'Up toDate' album; inside we gaveaway a book cover, and itturned out to be one of themost effective things we've everdone."

Bossin, from his vantagepoint as Album Sales Manager,added that "the public hascome to expect an attractivepackage. For example the FifthDimension 'Reflections' albumwas a repackaging of material,but we got many calls fromour distributors saying that thecover (which was a very ori-ginal fold out) actually soldalbums." Other Bell packageswhich helped perk up interestwere the "Partridge FamilyChristmas Card," with a realcard attached to each cover,the "Godspell" cover, whichretained the show's logo, andthe beautiful Fifth Dimension"Portrait" cover, the originalLeroy Neiman painting ofwhich still hangs on LarryUtall's wall.

As for future packagingideas, Art Director Bev Wein-stein was most enthusiasticabout the forthcoming "Par-tridge Family Shopping Bag,"which will include a "plasticshopping bag with the samephotography and graphics asthe jacket"; and the newFifth Dimension LP "Individu-ally and Collectively," whichwill be a sophisticated coverwith black and white photog-raphy and graphics. Miss Wein-stain added that "we devote alot of time to our packagingdecisions; it took us two weeksjust to arrive at the title forthe Fifth Dimension 'Live' al -

bum. Right now we're workingon album covers that we don'teven have tentative releasedates on."

Amid all these exciting de-velopments in the ever-expand-ing Bell company, one caution-ary note was voiced by Biegeland seconded by everyone else:"you have to be concerned withthe costs and mechanics ofphysically putting these pack-ages together and getting themout. The artists can help withthe ideas, but sometimes theyare not aware of times, costsand other practical matters. ButI think we've adapted to theseproblems."

Student Eye -ViewBy KEN BAUMSTEIN

I honestly don't think thatthe packaging of an album isvery important, as far as pur-chasing an album is concerned.

When I go to a record storeI go for a reason. In otherwords, I know exactly what Iwant. I don't buy an album be-cause it has a nice cover. I buyit because I like the group orcertain songs on the album.

However, once I get the al-bum home, the package is veryimportant. For instance, if analbum has the lyrics on it, I amconstantly reading them-notjust the first time I play the al-bum but just about everytime.

Liner notes in an album arevery important because theygive me a lot of informationabout the group.

The album cover itself some-times tells you what the groupis trying to say in their album.

A good album package willtell me of other albums of thatgroup which I might not have.

I really enjoy listening to analbum when I have a packagethat I can really get into.

Stax Album MessageIII MEMPHIS - Stax Recordshas Larry Shaw, their advertis-ing manager, make most of thedecisions for their product.

Being considerate of the audi-ence, Shaw states that "we musttake the intangible and make ittangible. The package must spellthe feeling, the artist, music andthe atmosphere."

The creative staff must knowthe artist also to comprehendthe music. They take into con-sideration the market sensitivityfor the elements of design, mean-ing line, texture and symbols.

Example: "Black Moses"-Issac Hayes-"This package willassist in the sale of present andfuture album product, as did thepast packages." Shaw said."Black Moses" referred to themessage it was designed to re-lay. As past products were toappeal to two market segments-black and white.

Along with the Stax staff theyuse the facilities of an NewYork -based agency, David, Freedand Krieger. They deal with thepreparation of concept for repro-duction, the technological end.

While preparing the packagethe advertising department ispreparing the elements for theads.

Title for the package is justas significant as the art work,since it might play an importantrole in design direction.

Goody on Packaging NEW YORK - HowardGoody, Vice President of SamGoody, had this to say aboutthe importance of packaging tothe retailer:

"Packaging is definitely veryimportant to the retailer,especially on certain kinds ofrecords. If it didn't help to sellrecords, the companies wouldn'tbe spending as much money onit as they are.

"The package is much moreimportant on an MOR albumthan on albums of the top rockgroups. Look at the Beatles''White Album.' They didn't putanything on the cover and itstill sold tremendeously. Butsay a consumer wants to hear'Love Story.' It's done on somany albums he may pick outthe one with the nicest cover."

Album Graphics: Pix Tell Stories11 In the album packaging busi-ness, every picture has to tella story, and Album Graphics,Inc., which numbers among itsnifties the jacket to Rod Stew -art's million -seller of renown,has some interesting stories totell indeed.

Formed three years ago byDon Kosterak and Jim Ladwig,AGI has almost tripled its tradein the last year by combining,as Richard Block, Vice Presi-dent of Sales, explained, "anoptimum creative balance of thesales, manufacturing, and de-sign aspects of album packag-ing."

"Basically," Block continued,"we collect 'solutions' to variouspackaging problems, in the sensethat we try to apply new mate-rials and graphic effects thathave proven successful in otherareas of packaging to the needsof a client in the recording in-dustry." We work closely withplastic manufacturers and spe-cial fabricators in order to comeup with concepts that are soundpackaging to begin with, andthen ultimately, perhaps thebest way to package sound."

The special bent that AGI hasfor new materials and graphiceffects is the product of a ratherunique synthesis of backgrounds.Don Kosterka brought to theorganization many years of ex-perience in the manufacturingand printing end of the oper-ation, giving him a sure feelfor the economic factors in-volved, while Jim Ladwig wasfor eight years the art directorfor Mercury Records, now a ma-jor client of AGI. Block him-self has helped to design con-sumer packaging for many gen-erally used products and con-tends that "the important con-cept is to have a reservoir ofeffective ideas that are strongin themselves and will lend them-selves easily to album packag-ing. One of the best things aboutworking with record companiesis that they will seize upon apackaging idea and support itwholeheartedly, without the twoyear program of testing that acompany like Colgate-Palmolivewill often require."

AGI takes the character of anartist's work, as it is describedto them by the record company,and attempt to create a new andunusual approach to what mayalready be a well -established re-cording phenomenon. A case inpoint is their design for Stax/Volt's "Black Moses," which un-folds a huge cross -shaped posterof Isaac Hayes. For recent al-bums by Carly Simon and Breadfor Elektra, another major ac-

count, AGI employed full -coloror tinted photographs repro-duced on "facile fab," a kind offabric, and "delours," a pigmented plastic that is laminatedonto the jacket. In this way, thefirm hopes to integrate as fullyas possible the design of thejacket and the material used.

AGI also pioneered the use ofdie -cuts that reveal a picture ofthe artist as if in another di-mension. Not only is this die -cutting effective as an eye -stopper to the browsing poten-tial customer, but in the in-stance of Paul Williams' album,"Just an Old Fashioned LoveSong," on A & M, the die -cutliterally frame a picture of thesolo artist in his music room,providing a visual "study" thataptly complements the musicwithin.

Wrapping it all up, so tospeak, Block told us, "Althoughwe are equipped to handle anypackaging problem, from designto actual jacket manufacture, weare looking for art directorswith projects that will benefitfrom our 'bank' of packagingideas. Good packaging can com-municate like good music orjournalism, and in this respectwe feel we have one of the bestvocabularies in the business."

Or as Rod Stewart put it,"When I saw the package thatAGI designed for "Every Pic-ture Tells a Story," I knewwhatever album I made wouldhave to fit into that jacket."Literally and figuratively, thatjust about covers it.

Lee -Myles Story NEW YORK-Lee-Myles As-sociates Inc., a self-containedcompany which does everythingfor an album or tape packagefrom designing and fabricatingthe jackets to printing the coverto advertising, has been in ex-istence for 18 years and is stillexpanding.

RECORD WORLD



Russ Regan Thumbs Up Jackets Nashville Packaging Scene HOLLYWOOD - "On astrictly in-store consumer level,an album's packaging is quitepossibly more important at thatparticular point in time thanis the actual content of therecord. Packaging is an im-mensely important factor in theselling of album product and wetreat it as such." The speakerwas Russ Regan, General Man-ager, MCA Records' Uni label.

"Packaging an album is, inessence, the packaging of aproduct. As such, it must re-flect what's in the grooves ofeach individual album. If anartist's music creates one spe-cial over-all mood, then thepackaging must mirror thatmood. Packaging can be mis-leading psychologically as wellas actually. For example, peoplewould be pretty upset if theybought an album which had aphoto of a semi-nude womanbearing the title 'Hot Tunes'and found that it containedStravinsky's 'Firebird Suite.'"Regan added, "That's a far outexample, I grant you, but itpoints up the fact that an al-bum's packaging is a muchmore vital factor than somepeople might think."

As Regan rapped, he dis-played some of the Uni jacketswhich he felt best illustratedhis points. "Look at Patti Dahl-strom's cover. It's really quitesimple essentially, although thetotality is stylized. Two beauti-ful, sensitive photographs ofPatti are featured on the out-side while an equally evocativepicture is seen inside. The pack-age serves two distinct func-tions. It lets people know whatthe artist looks like, somethingI personally feel is very im-portant, and it mirrors whatshe's laid down in the grooves.We've taken this general ap-proach with a number of ournew artists simply because theyare the ones who must benefitfrom having their likeness dis-played on the jacket. We couldput out a Neil Diamond orElton John cover with just aname and get away with it ifthe concept was strikingenough, but you could never at-tempt something like that withan unknown."

Regan took out Neil Dia-mond's "Stones" album fromhis record rack. "Occasionally,"he noted, "an added touch canbe used to good effect. On thisalbum of Neil's we used astring tie and flap to create anenvelope style jacket. It was acustomized package down to thelabel itself, which is keyed tothe rest of the components."

Russ Regan

Regan held up the Rockin'Foo jacket and said, "On thispackage we utilized the die -cuton the back of the cover andprinted the group's pictures onthe inner sleeve. The imagesshow through the die -cut holesand wee think it's a striking,yet simple, effect."

Running his fingers over yetanother jacket, Russ said, "Youknow, the texture of the paperused for a jacket shouldn't beoverlooked either. On this al-bum in particular, Mike Set-tle's, we went with a picture ofMike which we felt had a greatdeal of warmth and softness. Ithink it would have been wrongto go with a slick, coated sur-face, for example. So, in thiscase, we chose a soft, matte -finish textured paper that wouldenhance and reinforce the feel-ings evoked not only by Mike'spictures but also by the musicinside."

shortest time possible.To the recording artists, the

board jacket was the creativecatalyst that enabled him orher to fuse aural talents witha totally integrated visualpackaging concept. Aware ofthe fact that the buyer of to-day's music digs creative de-sign, digs artists photos, digship liner notes and digs read-ing album lyrics, the artist in-sisted that the finished albumreflect a graphic image as wellas his or her sound image.

To the consumer the boardjacket represented more valuefor his money. Now he was thedirect beneficiary of the newvisual consciousness of the artdirector, the marketing man-ager, the merchandising man-ager, the sales manager, therecording artist, his producerand manager.


NASHVILLE - Music City,being one of the music indus-try's creative arms, has recent-ly moved heavily into the areaof concept, finished art work,photography and the printingof LP packaging. Until recent-ly, only independent recordcompanies utilized the servicesof local art studios and photog-raphers. Most major recordcompanies such as RCA, CBS,MCA and Capitol utilized theirhome office art departments inthe creation of country musicand other Nashville productpackaging. As the independentsbecame a more powerful partof the Nashville record indus-try, their demands on artstudios caused increased serv-ices in which major companiesbecame interested. RCA and Co-lumbia now channel a largeamount of their LP packagingconcepts and photographythrough Nashville art agencies.

The most active Nashvillecompanies providing art work,photography and conceptualideas are the following:

Southern Graphics, which istooled to provide complete serv-ices from basic design to fullcolor printing. Gayle Allen,General Manager of SouthernGraphics, told Record Worldthat his staff of three design

artists, two photographers andtwo finished art work artiststurned out between 300 and 350LPs in 1971.

Pinwheel Art Studios, headedby Herb Burnett, produced 24album jackets in 1971 for la-bels like RCA and Mega.

Dan Quest Art Studios pro-duced some 150 covers in 1971,and although they are capableof handling the entire packag-ing process, 85% of their busi-ness is finished art only.

Jim Johnson Illustrations hasrecently moved into conceptualdesign for album covers. John-son's most recent work was thedesign and art for Cartwheel'ssecond "Crash" Craddock al-bum.

MFP, Inc., an affiliate ofUnited Pressing Company,prints and fabricates LPjackets and prints full colorback drops for labels but pro-vides no creative services.

Nashville Record Productionsrun by George Ingram handledsome 300 custom albums. In -gram's operations handles mas-tering, pressing, painting, type-setting and layout but farms outall creative design work.

Packaging: Past, FutureBy DEAN TORRENCE

a It seems very silly in thisday and age to still be tryingto convince some music peopleof the importance of graphicsin relation to the music busi-ness. If it isn't obvious by nowto those people it never will be.So I would rather get into thetheory of super -graphics as op-posed to plain old middle-of-the-road graphics. First I guessI should define both Super -graphics and MOR, graphics.

Super -graphics to me meanstotal concept. No matter howsimple or complex the conceptmay be, it is consistent at everylevel so that every piece is re-lated visually and also editori-ally.

Middle-of-the-road graphicsto me are un-coordinated proj-ects, where no one departmentknows or cares what the otheris doing. For example, when Iwas on the other side of thefence, a recording artist, therewere countless times I was sofrustrated I would give up try-ing to coordinate projects andgo to the beach. Let me takeone of these situations and yousee if it sounds familiar.

We, my rock partner and I,had a fairly successful recordat this one particular time. Therecord was titled "Deadman'sCurve," which was a song writ-ten about a street race betweena Stingray and XKE. Simple sofar, right? But now things arecomplicated by the fact that inthe song the European XKEcrashes going into Deadman'sCurve but the All-AmericanStingray makes it through thecurve to go on to imortalityhopefully. But the moral stillremains "You won't come backfrom deadman's curve."

Look at all those visual sym-bols to work with, what abeautiful concept. Pretty sim-ple, you say? Well, even our rec-ord company art departmentrealized the potential of all thegraphic symbols; so they cre-atively set up a photo sessionto take some great head shotsof us with a nice blue back-ground to make our pretty blueeyes show up and then theywere going to put some "boss"type above our heads that said,"Deadman's Curve" by Jan &Dean. Pretty slick, wouldn'tyou say? Needless to say, wetold them the idea was ineptand that they had better comeup with a better idea or wewould take time out of our busyschedule (college, recording,concerts, surfing etc.,) and de-sign our own album cover(which was unheard of, i.e.recording artists with ideas ortaste outside of music).

Well, the art department,backed by all the heavy recordcompany executives, said thatthey would really try to comeup with a smashing (no punintended) cover. Wishfullythinking, we returned to ourbusy schedules (college, record-ing, concerts, surfing etc.,) andwaited for a call to come andlook at the "boss" album cover.The call came. We went to lookand couldn't for the life for usfigure out what it was. We thenwere told that it was a drawing(by a girl no less) of two carsracing, one car was a 32 FordCoupe, and the other car wasa Dragster. We asked themwhat that had to do with aStingray and a XKE and theysaid who will know the dif-ference? Nobody ever did be-cause we told them to take thatcover off and we would eventake the pretty head shots in-stead, so we did.

Meanwhile, some fellow inthe publicity department whonever had heard any of ourrecords (was really into jazzanyway) was writing the linernotes. An apprentice in the artdepartment was pickling outpictures from a photo sessionwe did two years previously.A secretary in the publicity de-partment was picking out pic-tures- for 8x10's to be used bythe publicity department forpublicity. The advertising de-partment was designing a tradead in cartoon form of some racecars (indy cars) with our headscoming out of them. Anywayend of story, but I think youget the point. Believe it or notthis kind of detailed coordina-tion still exists in many recordcompanies even today. Peoplelike myself are attempting tochange this kind of thinking bytaking projects from beginningto end, scrutinizing every detailand at the end of the projectfeeling like everything had beendone that was possible withthat particular project's budgetand hopefully even a littlemore.

Now someone may ask, "Whydo you go to all this trouble?"First, let's clear the air aboutthe theory that a far-out coverwill sell a musically mediocrealbum. No way. A beautifulpackage is no more than sup-porting cast for the music. Ifthe music is splendid, the pack-age should be splendid also tovisually complement the music.But conversely, if the music isaverage, should the packagingbe average? I think not. Evenif the music is average, maybethe recording artist or artistsare not average. They justhaven't blossomed musically. So

why not take advantage of thispackage to set up an imagevisually for them and hopefullytheir next attempt musicallywill be improved and those whoremembered them visually willgive them another chance mu-sically? This theory would in-volve mostly the media, whichto me is where the whole ballgame is won or lost. Becauseif the media isn't impressedvisually or musically, most con-sumers wouldn't be aware ofthe products existence.

Now my theory from the con-sumer's level is based on myown personal experiences as aconsumer. You walk into a re-tail store with x amount ofdollars which buys x amountof albums. But, lo and behold,you find you want more albumsthan x amount of dollars willbuy. What criteria do you usefor the elimination, or con-versely, the selection of thealbums you will be taking homewith you? The answer is reallyvery simple. We already haveestablished that we like all thealbums we want musically, sowhich ones do we pick if wecan't have them all? We willlook all the packages over andpick out the ones that give usthe most totally, the ones withthe most pictures, information,extra goodies or visual pleas-ures.

End of the lecture. Thanks forlistening.

for closer attention to packag-ing concept design and photog-raphy is being realized by Mu-sic City's label representativesand more and more art workand photography is beingfarmed out to independentNashville studios.

Most labels now feel thatcountry music visual packagingconcept is as important to theartist and buyer as the Nash-ville Sound.

Peking(Continued from page 21)

Never before in the historyof the recording industry hascreative packaging played suchan important role in the totalmarketing spectrum. The boardpackaging revolution pioneeredby Shorewood has inspired thisrevolution. Hopefully in theyears ahead it will inspireother world markets to join in.Who knows, you might even beable to buy a Shorepak in Pe-king-yet.



Heilicher on Proper Identification MINNEAPOLIS - Dan Heil-icher is President of HeilicherBrothers and Vice President ofJ. L. Marsh. In his day-to-daywork he comes in contact withthe problems of packagingfrom many perspectives, includ-ing those of retailer and distrib-utor. Heilicher offered some ofhis thoughts on current trendsin packaging:

"The package adds color anddraws the consumer's originalattention; but beyond that I

think there's too much emphasistoday on the importance of pack-aging in selling records. It's theartist and what's inside thatreally sells.

"What important for analbum cover is identification ofthe selections on the album.Too often the buyer has to openthe sleeve to find out whatsongs are on a record. It's alsooften hard to distinguish theartist or even the number ofan album. Album jackets shouldhave more of this simple in-formation.

If you watch people browsingthrough record racks, you'll seethat an attractive front coverwill make them turn over thealbum to try to read somethingabout the group on the backcover. Too many album coverstoday lack this kind of infor-mation."

Muni on Needs, Likes NEW YORK-It's virtuallyno secret that most progressiveFM stations receive between 50and 100 new albums per week,and WNEW-FM is no exceptionto the rule.

Program Director, Scott Mu-ni, telling us that he appreciatesgood artwork ("I'd love to ownan original Cat Stevens paint-ing"), is also quick to add thatit's not what's on the outsidethat counts. "My responsibilitylies in programming the bestmusic. That comes first, but ifI'm faced with a stack of newalbums by new artists, I'll listento the ones with attractive cov-ers first. I find that British im-ports generally have the mostattractive covers, but some ofthem still don't include thetimes of cuts. That used to bea problem with American prod-uct, but it's diminished to next

to nothing. We still have theproblem of lack of informationon the package. With proper in-formation, and that includeslyric sheets, we have a greateropportunity to program creativesegues. It also gives us a chanceto weed out all FCC question-ables. We've been running intohuge filing problems in the li-brary when we're faced withalbums that are not uniform inshape. For instance, I can't tellyou how many albums that be-came scratched due to the Roll-ing Stones zipper. Grand Funk's"E Pluribus Funk," because ofits shape, is hard to find quickly.Led Zeppelin's recent albumcaused confusion, because of alack of information. Basically,all these problems are minor innature. I can readily sympathizewith the retailer, but for us, it'sthe music that counts."

Marketing in a BagBy CRAIG BRAUN

( Craig Braun is 32 years old andPresident of Sound PackagingCorporation. Braun also ownshis own total marketing servicesagency which designs and pro-duces everything from stickersto Radio spots for the music in-dustry.)a As our industry quicklypasses through generations andnot just years, the music pack-age has become much more vi-tal.

The conventional album coveris fast phasing out for 2 rea-sons: (a) it's becoming a hack-neyed and repetitious formulapiece of graphics and (b) thecover's function has broadenedgreatly. The album cover, ofnecessity, must help to mer-chandise the record in additionto reflecting the image and mu-sic of the artist.

There is simply insufficientspace for traditional point -of -sale advertising materials. Theracks, browsers, and physicalstore layouts (even the absenceof windows in many outlets)prohibit the use of varioustypes of in-store display mate-rial.

And yet, music is more todaythan ever before, impulse pur-chase. People like Russ Solo-mon (Tower Records) haverecognized this and capitalizedon it by putting in quantity,and in the aisle, not only theparticular album the record

buyer came in for, but 25 othernew releases that he's beenhearing constantly on the ra-dio.

Packages like Isaac Hayes,Freda Payne and Rod Stewartare self -merchandisers in thesense that the graphics andconstruction allow the retailerto feature their new album onthe wall with temporary promi-nence that gets attention andimpact.

Record buyers are turned onby lyrics today, so artists suchas Carole King, Elton John andHarry Chapin are helped meas-urably by the inclusion of lyricbooklets.

Dramatic and innovativegimmickry sometimes is thegrabber. Consider how muchword-of-mouth was caused by"Sticky Finger's" zipper, GrandFunks' coin and now DaddyCools' boomerang.

And finally, aside from song-books, we're seeing the emer-gence of merchandising itemsbuilt around music personali-ties that are unrelated to mu-sic, such as shirts, patches andeven jewelry items.

One thing's for sure, theNARAS committee should defi-nitely add to or revise the cate-gory of "best album cover" toinclude the total concept of thepackage.

Where does it all end?We're just too close to the be-

ginning to tell.

Alexander Displays: Practical, Aesthetic NEW YORK-When a con-sumer goes into a record de-partment, or even when hewalks by a record store, thefirst things to catch his eyeare usually what are calledpoint - of - purchase displays.These displays take manyforms, as industryites know,from window streamers tocounter cards to browsers tofloor displays to any of a dozenother configurations.

A unique company specializ-ing in point of sale merchan-dising is George Alexander Dis-play Inc., whose President, KeyDevejian, and chief designer,Allen O'Keefe briefly explainedthe challenging process of en-gineering this type of cam-paign: "A record manufacturercomes to us and explains hisproblem and the budget wehave to work with; we take theproject from there and try tocome up with a point -of -saledisplay to fit the problem."George Alexander does virtu-ally everything from there on,from designing to graphics tofabrication.

The interesting thing aboutthe kind of work George Alex-ander Display does is thatthey must constantly strive fora balance between aestheticvalue and practicality. For in-

stance, they were confrontedwith the problem of the recordmanufacturer trying to get hisdisplay pieces into the field, sothey came up with displays thatfold down and fit into recordboxes to facilitate shipping;they have also designed count-less familiar displays for everymajor record company, from aJohnny Cash motion mobilewhich really strums to a GeorgeHarrison tape prepack in whichthe product itself is part of thedisplay to the current "Fiddleron the Roof" display.

George Devejian's firm is notthe only company doing point -of -purchase displays, (inciden-tally, they also do sales promo-tion and premium merchandis-ing), but they do have a trulyremarkable record of success,and have been recognized forthis by their peers.

In the last two years, theyhave submitted 12 displays tothe Metropolitan Printing In-dustries of New York forGraphic Excellence Awardsand won awards for 10 of them.

Not a bad record, and asO'Keefe noted, "these awardsare not just for artistic excel-lence; you have to submit theoriginal problem and how yousolved it for both visual andpractical effectiveness."

Naive SophisticateBy DOMINIC SICILIA

Director of Creative Services,the Buddah Group

U We are all in the businessof creating and selling sound;specifically, music. Therefore,the visual business of packag-ing becomes, of necessity, a sec-ondary factor in the operationof a record company. But Inever realized this so well un-til now.

I've been with The BuddahGroup since October, 1971. Foryears before, I've looked at rec-ord company album covers andadvertising and played Mondaymorning art director. I thoughtto myself (or out loud) that ifonly they had used blue inkinstead of green, this wouldhave been a better cover, or ifthey had used a light type faceinstead of a bold face here, thiscover would have been vastlyimproved, or wondered whythat terrible photo was used.Or even worse, I've consideredhow inappropriate certain cov-ers have been for the musicinside the jacket and it mademe seriously question the judg-ment and taste of the art direc-tor involved and the companyhe worked for.

Just how naive and ideal-istic that view was, is apparentto me now. And since I've neverread an article in the tradethat tried to explain the reali-ties, I thought I'd try here.

I am now responsible, in anadministrative way, for mostof the covers coming from TheBuddah Group. Now, I get tosee the solid reasons why manygraphics decisions are often notthe perfect ones, and to under-stand why there was no otherway for it to be done.

The ideal graphics climate israrely reached at record com-panies, and the reasons arediverse. Often the cover for analbum must be finished beforethe music of the album is com-pleted. The art director has toget his graphic guidence fromthe artist, a producer or man-ager. Just as often, the direc-tion is innocently wrong andthe cover might be slightly offtarget.

Dictation of taste decisionsby artists and managers, andthe artistic prejudices of theperformer himself, influenceand shape an album cover.

Then, when those short dead-lines hit, anyone of any artisticintegrity in an art department,wonders if he'd be better offin accounting. The way an al-bum represents the art andsoul of a musician, so the al-bum cover represents the artdirector. The same way an art-ist needs time to record and

!tam', fr,zzaill; 1.:11t)

Kama Sutra's l'roper Mix'

mix properly, so does an artdirector. But he rarely gets it.

For an album cover to betruly successful, it must ac-complish two things. First, itmust stand by itself as agraphic work. This is, of course,very subjective, as is all art.Second, and more importantly,it must accurately convey thefeeling, mood, intent, or phi-losophy of the record insidethat jacket. For the designer,that is the ideal cover. And itis, of course, best for the per-former. Yes, there is an occa-sional dream situation in creat-ing an album cover. That'swhen an art director has com-plete artistic freedom, plentyof time and dollars, and isworking with an album that ismusically significant.

I feel that the same freedomthat has been granted the musi-cal artist should be granted tothe graphics artist, and we aretrying to reach that situationhere.

Packaging: Part of the RecordBy RUSS SOLOMON

Tower Records: Sacto, SanFrancisco, Los Angeles

el SACRAMENTO-Basically Ifeel the importance of packagingis that the package must be con-sidered, part of the record andnot merely the box containingit. The customer wants to ownit and keep it as part of his col-lection. The more artful, themore interesting and the moreinformational a package is addsto the amplification of enjoy-ment to the consumer, particu-larly when lyric sheets, postersor anything extra is includedwithin the packaging frame-work.

To me there are two impor-tant points-the package helpssell the record and more impor-tant than the original selling iswhat happens when the cus-tomer gets the record home.Hopefully, it will give him themultiple experience of listeningto the music and reading, feelingand looking at the package.

One reason, I feel, that pre-recorded tape sales are not big-ger than they are is because youcannot obtain the same art orimagination in its packaging asyou can with LP's. One excitingidea is being utilized by A&Mand Elektra of die -cuts wherethe inner sleeve is pulled andanother picture appears such asin the Paul Williams LonnieMack and Mickey Newbury al-bums. The four-way fold outJoe Cocker package is fantas-tic. One of the elements of suc-cess in the Bangla Desh albumwas the book inside. It's thefrosting on the cake and com-pletes the entire experience.Also it honestly generates ex-citement.

Another one of the most ex-citing recent packages was"Chicago at Carnegie Hall." Thesame music was available onother albums but the package,with all the extra material, soldthe album. The fact that it wasa souvenir of an event is impor-tant to the customer.

A minimum of print on thecover with a label over theshrinkwrap is a great idea (suchas Judy Collins' "Whales andNightingales"). The customerdoesn't have to be sold after hegets the record home. Manylabels, it seems, are having tokeep up with the imaginativepackaging of today while reallypreferring to put out a simplealbum for cost reasons. HoweverI think it's worth it.

In terms of problems therehas never been a record jacketthat inhibited the sale of a rec-ord at the retail level or cor-rupted an innocent bystander.The point is that a good package

helps to get good mileage out ofa good record.

My only criticism would be ofthose packages that give littleor no information. The con-sumer is really interested in asmuch background material aspossible and not just the credits.

Most important, the package,like the record, should be an artobject.

RCA Bug(Continued from page 4)

nizable commodity at the dealerlevel. In the case of contempo-rary groups, the groups oftenare more concerned with whattheir fellow artists will thinkabout their album covers thanthey are in the design's actualeffectivenes as a sales tool forthe album. Thus, the albumcover can become more an egotrip for the artist (group) thatmay not be altogether effectiveat the point of sale.

Special packaging is or canbe most effective in such RCAprograms as the "This Is"series which features the best-known songs by well -recognizedartists. Victrola and Vintageseries re -packaging as well asCamden two -record sets speci-ally priced, have benefitedfrom special packaging con-cepts.

In the classical area, RCARecords realized that in orderto reach a young audience, ithad to modernize the packagingconcepts for the various seriessuch as the composers greatesthits. The packaging conceptwhich evolved was highly cari-catured humorous poses of thecomposers involved. This eye-catching series has been highlysuccessful in bringing classicalmusic to an entirely new audi-ence.

Dialogue:

Sal Candilora on Why Three(Continued from page 10)

meet the needs of the heavy spot saturation periods. Then ourvery successful "Just a Minute" package was sold to over 2,000stations where once again the need for specialized instrumentalmusic proved to be a very successful sales vehicle. In fact, weare proud that 75% of the broadcast industry has availed itselfof our Library Service. Because of the growing appeal of countrymusic, we produced a series of companion Drummer albums, butspecialized in production aids and themes for country musicoperations.

Record World: What caused SESAC to open a branch office inNashville in 1964?

Candilora: Since our inception we have always been extremelyactive in country music, and in 1964 we decided that the ever-increasing popularity of country and western music made it es-sential that we open our own office in Music City. We were sowell -received that within two years we moved into the ultra-modern SESAC Building on Music Row, and since that time ourgrowth has been, as they say in Nashville, "unreal." Scarcely atop recording artist in country music has not included SESACmaterial in his repertory, and more and more top artists andcountry composers are climbing on the SESAC bandwagon everyweek. Our growth in Nashville, like our growth in New York,throughout the nation and, in fact, internationally, has been phe-nomenal and we are certain it will continue.

If you haven't heardthe new STAPLE SINGERS album,

we'd like you to hearfrom some people who know

what it's all about.KATITIGE

k.CCPECT 'ADURSQ.f-

STS 3002

RECORD VVORLDAlbum is released on the heels of what was probably one of the most important singles ofthe year. New single is "I'll Take You There," and should do almost as well. Other fine cutsinclude "This Old Town," and "We The People," but "Respect Yourself" is far and awaythe best.-Mar. 11, '72

CASH BOXA profoundly religious, yet totally commercial offering, partly named after their million -selling hit, and partly after verses from Matthew. Each tune is about the heavenly kingdom,either obliquely or directly, yet each can be boogied with. The Staples' religious messageis directed at joy, peace and happiness and they fear nothing, including success. Airplaywill no doubt be directed at "I'll Take You There," "Name the Missing Word" and "WhoDo You Think You Are?" They were the first Jesus -rockers, and their appeal has crossedthe r&b-pop barrier for good reason.-Feb. 26, '72

This, theirlatest LP, includes the meaningful million seller "Respect Yourself" as well as "I'li TakeYou There," "This World" and "We the People." Geared to lit any format.-Mar. 4, '72

Alouette Not Hurting, ' Uttal, HoweInitiates Push NEW YORK-With the suc-cess of the recording of 'Hurt-ing Each Other' by the Carpen-ters, as written by Gary Geldand Peter Udell, Kelli Ross ofAlouette Productions has an-nounced plans to do an exhaus-tive exploration of the Alouette-held Andalusian Music Com-pany, a company which pur-chased Geld -Udell Music Cor-poration some time ago.

The catalogue consists ofonly Geld -Udell copyrightsmany of which were chart ortop 10 records when Geld andUdell were producing and writ-ing for the market.

More currently they've movedinto the Broadway and filmareas and were very successfulwith their first show "Purlie."

Ms. Ross says "We will pre-sent the unrecorded as well asthe prior hit material and wefeel we can be successful withboth, as in the case of 'HurtingEach Other.' "

Alouette's other major proj-ect is singer -composer -pro-ducer Richard Landis, whosedebut album "Natural Causes,"has just been released by Dun-hill Records, as well as a si-multaneously released single, "AMan Who Sings."

The concentration here willtake two directions: record pro-motion and exploitation of theLandis material, since Alouetteparticipates in production andpublishing.

Landis is currently on a na-tionwide tour promoting thealbum.

Bruce Rothstein, formerly ofthe Albert Grossman office hasbeen retained to exploit all ma-terial as part of the overallplan. Alouette-held publishingcompanies have had such recenthits as "Hallelujah" by Sweat -hog and "Come On Over to MyHouse" by Layng Martine, Jr.As always, Alouette functionsas administrator for many firmsand has recently added the pub-lishing firms of Tommy Kaye,Brooks Arthur, Gary Legon,and Mort Ross.

Cooper InksIndie Pact NEW YORK - Ted Cooper,formerly of the Wes Farrell Or-ganization, announced last weekthe formation of Fiddler TedProductions.

In speaking of his over-allconcept for the new company,Cooper said, "It is a multi -fac-eted complex of prismatic diffu-sion." He went on to explain,"I'm signing myself."

A man with a long track rec-ord in the music industry, Coo-per's career began with an aus-picious debut as a violin virtuosoat Carnegie Hall in 1945; he wasseven at the time. During thepast few years this former Juil-Hard student has headed MillsMusic and Shapiro -Bernstein,where he began one of the firstindependent production firms,Alice in Wonderland Produc-tions. Cooper's production cred-its include 35 chart records withsuch artists as the Staple Sing-ers, Elephant's Memory, SlyStone, Maxine Brown, GodfreyCambridge, Leslie Uggams, Wal-ter Jackson, Edwin Birdsong, theDrifters, the Flamingos, MajorLance, Dobie Grey, Damito Joand Vivian Reed.

Before leaving the Farrell Or-ganization, Cooper completed thelatest Paul Jones 1.p., "Crucifixin a Horseshoe" (London Rec-ords U.S.A./Phjlips-Vertigo inEngland). Still to be released isa new album by Gordon Waller,once associated with Peter Asherin the Beatle-era duo known asPeter and Gordon.

Klein Suit(Continued from page 3)will be donated to the U. S.Committee for UNICEF for theBenefit of Refugee BangladeshChildren.

The complaint, which wasfiled in New York State Su-preme Court February 28,named New York Magazine,N.Y.M. Corporation, Peter Mc-Cabe, Sheldon Zalaznick, andAeneid Equities, Inc. as de-fendants. The causes, accord-ing to the suit for the three$50 million actions are: "dam-ages arising from publicationof false and defamatory matterconcerning Abkco Industries;damages to Abkco's clients dueto the fact that the publicationof the article has seriously im-paired sales to the public ofthe 'Concert for Bangla Desh'album; and damages for injuryto Abkco's credit and reputa-tion as a result of defendants'malicious, wrongful and will-ful publication of defamatorymatter."

The New York article pre-sented a breakdown, based oninformation from "reliable rec-ord industry sources," of the$12.98 retail price of each al-bum. According to McCabe'sstatistics, there was $1.14 un-accounted for from the sale ofeach album. Klein presented acomplex breakdown of the costsinvolved, which indicated thatat this point, with approxi-mately 568,000 sets sold, Applewas actually losing money oneach sale. For example, thearticle asserted that 50 centswas spent on each box andbooklet, but Klein stated thatthe amount he is actuallyspending at this point is over73 cents. He added that as

more albums are sold, thelosses would be cut, but thatit would take a sale of severalmillion before the break-evenpoint is reached.

The article also containedstatements allegedly made byCapitol VP Brown Meggs re-garding Capitol's negotiationswith Klein. At the press con-ference, Klein readter written by Meggs and ad-dressed to New York Magazinewhich stated, in part, "I wishto correct certain of the moreglaring inaccuracies and mis-quotations attributed to me inthe article 'Some Sour Notesfrom the Bangladesh Concert'by Peter McCabe." Meggs wenton to state that the computa-tion in the article of a balanceof $2.27 was paid to Apple, notAbkco, and that the figure it-self "contains some apparentinaccuracies."

There were many otherpoints made in the course ofthe lengthy press conference,including the following: thatColumbia was not receiving 25cents per album for the serv-ices of Bob Dylan, as was as-serted in the article; that thestatements made at the time ofthe Bangladesh concert aboutthe imminent release of the al-bum were made primarily todiscourage bootleggers; thatGeorge Harrison had not infact apologized to BhaskarMenon for statements he madeon the Dick Cavett Show; andthat, in Klein's opinion, "thecomplaints of some leadingrack jobbers over the price ofthe album points up a lack ofcharity in people's hearts."There were also questions fromthe floor, leading to argumentsover the dispute between Ab-kco and McCabe.

MetromediaManufacturesPre -Recorded Tape NEW YORK - MetromediaRecords will manufacture itsown pre-recorded tape producton all future releases JackWiedenmann, General Managerof Metromedia. Records, has an-nounced.

Metromedia's decision tomanufacture its own tape prod-uct was based on the feelingwithin the company that thetremendous potential for tapesales can now be reachedthrough Metromedia's ownsales and marketing staff.

Metromedia's network of in-dependent distributors contrib-uted to the decision regardingpre-recorded tape through theirtremendous success in market-ing the Hillside Singers' re-cording of "I'd Like To TeachThe World To Sing," accordingto Wiedenmann. Metromediaintends to rely even more heav-ily on their services in thefuture.

keting and selling, in both do-mestic and international mar-kets.

"Mr. Wilburn has had manyyears of experience in workingwith artists in all musical fieldsand encompassing every form ofcontemporary music. This willallow us an unlimited scope inbuilding a record company thatis involved in every area of mu-sic."

In pointing up the new com-pany's basic policy, Wilburn em-phasized that "Chelsea Recordsis not going to be in the 'how -ma ny- records -we-can -put- o u t 'business, but rather in the 'howmany records we can make suc-cessful.' "

"With each artist signed tothe label we will take into con-sideration, prior to productionand release, a total analysis ofthat artist's record -buying audi-ence, the corresponding economicfactors and how broad that art-ist's market can be," Wilburnstated.

"We will simultaneously de-termine where we can geograph-ically sell the most product mostoften and where the weakestsales areas are. We then will de-sign a total concept for exploit-ing that artist's record sales tothoroughly penetrate each rec-ord -buying market on a world-wide basis."

Prior to his new position, Wil-burn was Executive Director ofA & R for 'Capitol Records,headouartering in Los Angeles.

Wilburn initially joined Capi-tol in 1965 as an assistant salesmanager and subsequently waselevated to the post of RegionalPromotion Manager in the mid -West before being named Direc-tor of National Promotion. Inthe two years Wilburn func-tioned in the latter position, hehad developed a staff of 42 pro-motion men working under hissupervision.

Before his move to A & R Di-rector, Wilburn was Capitol'sDirector of International Mar-keting, working with more than40 Capitol licensees throughoutthe world.

CLUB REVIEW

Talent Snowballs On Bleecker Street NEW YORK - Ever watch"Eyewitness News?"

Of course you have.It's that crazy format that

gives broadcasters a chance tothrow off a series of one-linersas they go through the somberhappenings of the day. The con-cept has been successfully usedon local stations throughoutthe country, but it reallystarted here in New York. Iremember watching a fewweeks ago as the entire cityheld their breath waiting forthe first snowstorm of the year."Eyewitness News," of course,was right on top of the situation. "Take it away, Doug John-son, who's standing by withhundreds of snow plows inQueens." Doug then gives hisreport as the viewer is treatedto camera shots of all theseplows lined up in military fash-ion, with all drivers primed forthe occasion in the classic tra-dition of LeMans. Meanwhile,Tex Antoine is telling us whatto wear in preparing for theblizzard. As always, the snowchanges to rain, and every kidwho goes to bed dreaming ofclosed schools and wakes up dis-heartened. But the story neverends just like that. A weekgoes by, and suddenly, withoutwarning, three inches of fluffyhas fallen, and poor "Eyewit-ness News," hasn't even goneon the air yet. The over -hypedsnow plow drivers have alreadygone home, and, as was thecase last Wednesday (23),Bleecker Street is left open forone of the great snowball fightsof the year. The snowball fight,for me, capped off the best eve-ning of Village entertainmentin many months.

The Bitter End bill read,"Robert Klein, America and

Megan McDonough." Klein,proving that the best humor isdrawn from truths, had me intears. His New York brand ofhumor, with routines on pid-geons, DeWitt Clinton HighSchool, Smilers and dog doody,comes across perfectly in aclub. Unfortunately, televisionholds him back. He must beseen live.

America (WB), well on theirway to being the first supergroup of the year, will under-standably be compared to Cros-by, Stills, Masters & Johnson.I figure it this way. If CSNYhas decided to go the route ofsolo recording, then we shouldbe grateful that a vocal grouphas burst on the scene thatmakes the same kind of goodmusic. New stars are created,while vacuums are not. In theend the public gets what theywant. Their entire first album,"America," is a delight to lis-ten to. Nothing is lost whenthe group performs live. Whatthey lack in the way of lyricalcontent is more than made upfor in the melodies.

Megan McDonough (WoodenNickel) quite honestly took meby surprise. She's a versatilelittle girl with a well -controlledvoice. I especially loved two ofher songs, "Pocketful" (thesingle), and "Guitar Picker,"a way out funky tune, high inlyrical value.

Good music was not just con-fined to the Bitter End thatnight. Gaslight II had a whaleof a show starring Doc Watson(Poppy), a master of masterswhen it comes to guitar pick-ing. Any student of the guitarwould do well to catch a DocWatson set. You could sit thereall night long and never takeyour eyes off his fingers. Doc

LONDON-This week Polygram chief Steve Gottlieb an-nounced that, subject to the approval of their stockholders and theDirectors of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, an agreement in principle hasbeen reached for the sale of MGM's activities to Polygram. Alsosubject to a mutually acceptable contract, now being prepared, anew company will be constituted, headed by Mike Curb.

Following last week's banning of Wings' "Give Ireland Back ToThe Irish," the BBC and Radio Luxembourg have now shown greatreluctance to play the new single by McGuiness Flint, "Let ThePeople Go," again directed at the current crisis in Northern Ire-land. However, while the McCartney disc is officially banned bythe BBC, ITA and Luxembourg, no similar ruling has yet beenmade on the Flint record.

Allan Klein is currently discussing with John Lennon, GeorgeHarrison and Ringo Starr the possibility of acquiring their sharesin Apple Corps. Limited. They in turn have made an offer to PaulMcCartney for his 25% share in Apple, which if accepted, couldmean total acquisition of the company for Klein's ABKCO Indus-tries Inc. Klein has recently won a preliminary injunction re-straining Atlantic Records and Ampex Tapes from selling and dis-tributing tape versions of the Rolling Stones "Hot Rocks 1964-1971" album, pending an immediate trial.

Mick Jagger has confirmed plans for an extensive Statesidetour by the Stones during May. Speaking last week in LA, Jaggerbroke a long silence in announcing his intention to visit Londonnext month before commencing the 25 -day tour, and in com-menting on the group's recording plans. Seventeen titles havebeen completed, of which six are to be discarded and the re-mainder will make up a double album to be issued on April 1,with a single preceding in March. Acetates of some cuts, Jaggerclaims, have been `nicked' and are being played by some FM sta-tions on the West Coast. Meanwhile Decca is issuing a collectionof "vintage" Rolling Stones tracks here, titling the package,"Milestones." Jagger also disclosed his interest in making anothermovie and is currently considering three different scripts.

Radio Luxembourg's British service devoted an entire eveningsbroadcasting to Tamla/Motown product last Saturday (26). Thisfollows the success of similar "special" broadcasts by the sta-tion, the last featuring the Beatles. The seven -and-a -half hourprogram included 130 Tamla singles dating from 1959 as well asthe Supremes /Four Tops new joint album, "Dynamite." Also fea-tured were recordings of various statements and comments madeby several Motown artist and executives Berry Gordy, Jr. andGerry Schiffer.

Uriah Heep will not now be returning to the U.K. until March14, having extended their current stateside tour by six weeks. Dueto an overwhelming reaction, the band will return to all venuesalready played as part of Buddy Miles/Deep Purple tour, on their

This week isJohnny Cash week in Germany, and key trad-sters and reporters are being flown in from allparts of Europe to witness the Johnny Cashshow in Frankfurt, and you can expect my nextcolumn to reach you from Frankfurt, unless

some wild air pirate lands my plan in Cairo, and if so, I'll findGeorge Pincus an Egyptian who can write a hit song called,"Mamaliga" . . Speaking of my old USA buddy Chum AlGallico, I think that the Country & Western, Nashville industryought to give him a Southern bell (e) for predicting over twoyears ago at MIDEM that Country & Western would go pop onthe charts. Started by Lynn Anderson's "Rose Garden," and nowAl has a new George Jones single, which I believe will makeit, called "We Can Make It." In fact, no matter what GeorgeJones records or releases, it will make the charts the way thatfella does a song ... RCA Music rubbery in Hamburg tells us thatJose Feliciano is starting his German tour and wherever thissincerely talented artist goes, so goes the public . . . Seems thatI've started the wildest dj gimmick in years, as on ev'ry one ofmy dj shows I play the "sound" of an animal that ev'ry kidknows, and asking my listenin' audience from Berlin to Moscow,what kind of animal it is, and so far thousands of letters havepoured into the Radio station, RIAS, Berlin, and no one has hiton the answer; so I'll give you a tip, listeners in Germany. "Thisanimal is a King in its domain." No, not a Lion! . . . Incidental-ly this animal was recorded on the west coast by Capitol Rec-ords . . . Petula Clark has a new start in Germany on BellaphonRecords with "Jesus Christ Superstar" . . . BASF Records havea potential hit on their laps with Cindy & Bert's single, "IchHor Zu" ("I'm Listenin') . . . Biggest battle up to date in theGerman trade is the fight between Czar Hans Beierlein, who hasmade zillions with his great artists, Udo Jiirgens, Gilbert Be-caud, etc., etc. Seems he riled the feelings of Gerhard Wendland,(a nice guy) and Fred Bertelmann (another nice guy), but know-ing Hans Beierlein very well, I think he was just kiddin' . . Sowhy the fuss? . . . Here are some of the new record releases inGermany movin' up the national charts here. So put your think-ing cap on, and see if your record or song is among the comingvictors . . . Peter Alexander with "Der gemeinsame Weg" (TheMutual Way) published by Gerig . . .

THEATRE REVIEW

TommyAnd How He GrewIII HOLLYWOOD - "Whetheror not it was the intention ofthe Who that each of us shouldidentify with "Tommy" in hisown way, over three million al-bum owners have been doingjust that since 1969. Naturallyany one interpretation of Tom-my's story will turn off at leasta million devotees."

So goes director Joel Rosen-zweig's notes on Tommy givento the audience at the illustri-ous opening of "Tommy" re-cently at the Aquarius Theatre.

Rosenzweig is absolutelyright in his assertions and itis that positive commitment toa specific point of view thatmakes this current productiondazzling and impressive. ClaudeThompson is responsible forthe uncommonly imaginativemovement and his emphasis ondance adds even another at-traction for "Tommy."

"Tommy" is abstract by na-ture of its composition. Themusic can be described asclassy rock within an operaticcontext and though it is oftenimpossible to follow, thatdoesn't matter, for "Tommy"is a masterpiece of moments.What is most important about"Tommy" is that it be stagedas consistently interesting aspossible and in terms of thesedemands, Rosenzweig andThompson succeed. The paceis crisp and vital and eachscene is finely balanced.

The cast is well endowedwith the presence of Ted Nee-ley for whom stardom is richlydeserved. Neeley, a seasonedperformer, performs the role ofTommy as a diligent crafts-man. Every move and each re-action to the other players iswell calculated so that Tommy(one of the great cosmic char-acters of the last 10 years) be-comes quite empathetic. Hekeeps his vocal strength andphysical power in reserve sothat the Act II closing (withthe by now famous "See Me.Feel Me") is truly the highwater mark of the production.

Annette Cardona must alsobe singled out for her blister-ing portrayal of the AcidQueen. She attacks the partwith the fire of a Aldonza andnever allows that achievementto wane in the slightest.

David Talisman seemed a bittoo stiff as Uncle Ernie andJeff Richards substituted hys-teria for style as Cousin Kevin.His voice grew thin as the re -

JAZZBy MICHAEL CUSCUNA

This past year, in my opinion, will prove inthe long run to have been a very bad one forthe music industry. Bad because of the effectthat radio will have on the record industry.This relates, not only to jazz, but to all formsof music.

Several issues back, this trade publicationran a press release story about 'KLOS-FM's

Michael Cuscuna success in Los Angeles, supposedly a rapid suc-cess resulting from a progressive rock format. Nonsense. Thatsuccess was due to the rigid format that has been instituted atall seven ABC -FM stations.

And it is not only American Broadcasting Company. Across thenation, stations, owned by greedy or scared managements, arefalling into the format trap. The freeform progressive format wasan important one. Using rock as a common denominator, it ex-posed new artists, folk music, r&b, jazz and a great variety ofcommunity services and heretofore repressed news items. It ex-panded a listener's scope and helped record companies reach newaudiences for hundreds of new artists and helped cross the staleand limiting category lines. And too often, many cities had no jazzstation from lack of support; so the progressive station picked upthe slack.

But the FCC engaged in several intimidation tactics. Firstwas a vague and threatening statement that forced stations, out offear, to censor scores of songs that merely mentioned drugs. In thefrenzy, dozens of anti -drug songs were banned from stations.Then the FCC, in twisted logic, issued a statement that freeformradio was not in the American grain because it gave the in-dividual air personality too much freedom and personal power.

What the FCC overlooked was that, for the first time, an entiregroup of broadcasters were honest, above payola, concerned andvery informed, community -minded and aware of the need to pro-gram the artistic minorities that FM was initially created to pro-vide.

Many station managers, who knew no better, were frightenedby these clever tools of the administration currently in power.Others had spiraled into such high overhead that half a millionlisteners could not support a New York station. Others justwanted to make more money without dealing with those crazylonghairs and blacks.

So with the FCC's blessing, the FM band was gradually turnedinto format stations that merely duplicate AM and abandon allminority programming and true community service, that leavethemselves wide open for payola because the station is run byvirtually one person and that continues to feed our people thenonsense and pap that have made them so tranquil and simple-minded thus far. Again we are reminded that the concept that theairwaves belong to the public is pure farce. Money talks. Nobodywalks.

The political implications of this quiet and complicated censor-ship raid are quite frightening. But it also has a bad effect on therecord business. New artists barely have a chance to be exposed.Categories of music and audience fall back into rigid, limited mar-kets. The pressure is on to have a hit because there is no roomfor a moderate money maker. With tight formats, things canonly hit or miss miserably.

Record compenies should be alarmed by this trend. When a jazzor progressive station acquires a pablum format, they shouldwithdraw all radio advertising and even refuse free records. Let'sface it, if something is a hit, then major market formats will playit. So it's already doing well, and they have to play it. Let themusak makers buy it. They will.

Barnaby/Candid Releases Four Columbia Records has re-leased the Barnaby/Candid Se-ries originally recorded underthe supervision of writer -criticNat Hentoff in the early 1960sand nroduced for reissue byJon Waxman. These titles are

"Mingus, The Candid Record-ings," by Charles Mingus;"New York City R&B," CecilTaylor and Buell Neidlinger;Phil Woods' "Rights of Swing"and "Straight Ahead," AbbeyLincoln.

Capitol StartsClassic Jazz Series HOLLYWOOD - MarvinBeisel, National Sales Manager,Capitol Records, Inc., has an-nounced an April launch forthe label's vintage jazz series.

The initial release of 10 al-bums will present such musi-cal innovators as Stan KentonArt Tatum, Gerry Mulligan,Billie Holliday, Coleman Haw-kins, and Miles Davis, to namejust a few.

Future releases are now be-ing planned for the series.

The vintage jazz series hadpreviously been released byCapitol's licensee in Holland,Bovema, and was originated atthe request of Bovema's Cap-itol Label Manager, Joop Vis-ser. Visser engaged graphicartist Jan Fijnheer for packag-ing services.

To insure continuation of thegraphic approach, Allen A. Da-vis, Capitol Vice President ofMerchandising/Creative Serv-ices, is in Holland this weekto meet with Visser and Fijn-heer and discuss cover art forfuture American releases.

Beisel commented that theindustry -wide resurgence of in-terest in vintage recordings,both in sales and radio expos-ure, prompted the decision torelease this product for theU.S. market. Meeting the de-mand of jazz afficionados, theproduct will be made availablein its original monophonicform. "The original sound mustbe maintained," stated Beisel.

The themes of the confer-ence will be television and rec-ord production, the Trianglearea as a potential productioncenter, talent available in thearea and what is happeningnow.

CONCERT REVIEW

Yesyesyesyesyesyes NEW YORK-Yes are notjust another new British rockgroup; they are the new Britishrock group, a thrilling hint ofwhat English pop is becomingin the '70s, and perhaps mostimportant, Yes are the first ofthe fantastically successful At-lantic supergroups, includingLed Zeppelin and ELP, to meritconsideration with the best thatEngland has to offer; that is,the likes of the Beatles, theWho, the Rolling Stones, andthe Move.

Not only have Yes producedfour exciting and sophisticatedalbums, among them their cur-rent top ten 1p "Fragile," buttheir live performances conveythe same nerve -tingling clarityof expression, finely -craftedhigh energy and amazingly aptapproach to electronic experi-mentation. Their first two per-formances at the Academy ofMusic sold out so quickly thatanother two shows were addedon February 23, complete withhead lights and impressionisticclassical music as a prelude towhat was easily the most sat-isfying show I've seen in How-ard Stein's usually crowded,noisy, and over -rated venue.

Yes began with their hit sin-gles, "Roundabout" and "YourMove," replete with high strungand beautiful melodies, SteveHowe's facile lead guitar, andRick Wakeman's extraordinarykeyboard virtuosity. Yes ex-press themselves almost ex-clusively in their music, whichis sensual in a way that atwitchy pelvis can never be.They are completely in com-mand of an arsenal of electron-ic equipment that most groupswould use to create sound ef-fects rather than music. Andabove all, they are commercialin the sense that they bringoff any number of immenselypopular "tricks" with new en-thusiasm, style, and originality.They aren't trying to raise thelevel of rock or educate thepublic taste; they simply wantto be liked, and with materiallike "Heart of the Sunrise"and "Perpetual Change," theycouldn't miss. It says some-thing very fine about the busi-ness and the public that Yesare succeeding as well as theyare. A live album will probablybe put together from the Acad-emy concerts, and if the highstandard of production thatYes have maintained in theirstudio work is applied here,then one of the great live rockalbums should follow.

Also on the bill were BlueThumb's Mark -Almond, which

CLUB REVIEW

Darin Welcome NEW YORK-It was BobbyDarin's opening at the Copa in1972, and there's a great sus-pense attached to that thought.How would he come out? Wouldhe be decked out in blue den-im? With or without hair?Would it be an endless seriesof Sinatra routines? More im-portant, had recent open heartsurgery taken the sting out ofhis sass?

Well, I'm happy to reportthat Bobby didn't look worsefor wear. He looked as healthyas anybody in the joint. Yes,he wore a rug, a good one too.Instead of blue denim, he op-ted for one of those dated Con-tinental tuxedos. And on stage.he did the only kind of show heknows. He did it all.

The show was divvied intosegments. The first segmentwas Darin at the second stageof his career. Remember thosedays when we thought of himas a snip, a cheap Sinatra im-personator? Finger snapping,winks to the pretty girls atringside, tricks with the micro-phone cord, loads of brass anddriving rhythm, even a fewfancy steps. It was the segmentthat included "For Once In MyLife," "Lazy River," and his13 -year -old, get that, 13 -year -old "Mack The Knife." Great.Just great.

Segment two included thesoul stuff like "Midnight Spe-cial." Great again. For segmentthree it was time to lay backand get mellow. Perfect timefor harmonica and acousticguitar with Tim Hardin's "IfI Were A Carpenter," and Bob-by's own "Simple Song Of Free-dom." The finishing touches in-cluded a drum solo, a sensation-al piano solo, and then "SplishSplash," just for the sake ofroots. What a show!

Darin proved again, as hehad in the past, that his mainingredient is soul. After all,he wouldn't be on the Motownlabel if he didn't have soul.Welcome back.
