CASHBOXNTERNATIONAL MUSIC/COIN MACHINE/HOME ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY VOLUME LI - NUMBER 28, Januaiy 16, 1988

EDITORIAL

Happy New Yearell, here we are, it's the beginning of 1988 andWCash Box is in the process of breaking newground on several fronts. First, let's reflect onour December 26th, year-end issue. We

promised bonus circulation of 6000 copies, in fact Cash Box

distributed more than 10,000 additional copies to retailers at

all levels of our business; from major chain operations

with hundreds of outlets to singlemom and pop stores all

over the country; from major one stops to combination

video/music stores.

This, our first issue of 1988, debuts the first weekly sec-

tion in a trade magazine devoted completely to the needs

and views of the independent record manufacturers and

distributors. The Independent Way. This section, edited byPhyllis Wickham, is a must on your reading schedule

whatever your niche in the music industry. Filled with in-

formation, innovations and ideas, "The Independent

Way" can and will offer valuable lessons and new direc-

tions for anyone who cares to benefit.

The penetration of Cash Box at the retail level continues

to grow at an unprecedented rate. Blanket subscriptions at

major chains are the order of the day and we will continue

to explore methods of generating even larger growth andrelationships with retail at all levels.

1988 will be an exciting year for you, our industry andus as well, we are looking forward to meeting the challen-

ges and establishing new criterias of excellence for others

to emulate.

NEWStlantic Division To Be Based In L.A.

Greenberg NamedPresident Of Atco Records

Bob Jones Joins MJJProductions As VP of •

CommunicationsLOS ANGELES - Ust Tuesday (5),

lantic Records Chairman Ahmet, Ertegun announced the namingJerry Greenberg as President of

CO Records & Custom Labels, a

vision of the Atlantic Recording

rporation. The restructured Atco

cords will be based in Los Angeles.

Greenberg, who first joined Atlan-

in 1967 as assistant to then-Execu-

'e Vice President Jerry Wexler,

•ved as president of the companytm 1974 to 1980. In 1980, Greenberganded the Atlantic-distributed

[rage Records label. He became=sident of United Artist Records in

B6 and was most recently Presi-

nt of the Music Division of

::m/ua.Greenberg spoke to Cash Box, dis-

ssing his recent appointment:hey (Atlantic) basically had the

2a to reactivate Atco Records,

hen 1 got through with MGM, 1 dis-

ssed the plans of possibly starting

.rage back, they said that they wereich more interested in reactivating

r rather putting much more powerhind the Atco label." He continued

explaining some of the label's

als, "We're going to start signing

me artists. There are a few acts al-

idy on the label; we have a few big

ts like Yes and Pete Townshend al-

idy on the label - so it's not like

j're starting out cold. We want to

>t take it to the next plateau. We

Jerry Greenberg

want to be very visible in Los Angeles

when it comes to things that are

available - not only artists, but

soundtracks [as well]. We just wantto see Atco get a big piece of the

marketshare."

Ahmet Ertegrm commented (in a

press release): "It gives me great

pleasure to welcome Jerry back to the

Atlantic family. Upon first joining the

company 20 years ago, he quickly es-

tablished himself as one of the mostgifted and admired executives in the

music world. Over the past twodecades, he has demonstrated the

rare ability to be equally at home in

the creative sphere and in the busi-

ness arena. Most importantly, he has

never lost an infectious enthusiasm

for the music. I am proud to count

Jerry as a longtime friend, and once

again, as a valued associate."

altry Year For Platinum Plaques

Megastars, Soundtracks, AndA Newcomer Top RIAA's

December Gold And PlatinumCertifications

NEW YORK - Two soundtracks,

ur established superacts, and a

;w face (Tiffany) topped the RIAA'secember list of gold and platinum[rtifications, all racking up multi-

atinum honors. Michael Jackson's

3ad," U2's 'The Joshua Tree" andVhitesnake" topped the list at four

illion sold per; the "Dirty Dancinglundtrack" chimed in at three mil-

5n (chalking up two million in the

rocess); and Bruce Springsteen's

Funnel of Love" (simultaneouslatinum and gold), "Tiffany"imultaneously platinum), and the

M Bamba Soundtrack" rounded out

le list, with each selling at least twoillion platters, CDs or cassettes.

The year-end total for multi-

iatinum certifications was 71, downom 108 in 1986. The year-end total

•r platinum certifications, however,

ok a serious tumble last year, drop-

ping to 79 from 204 in 1986. The large

'86 figure was due to labels cashing

in the platinum chips on some of

their previously - uncertified

catalogue product.

December saw 10 albums certified

platinum. Joining Tiffany andSpringsteen were George Strait's

"Ocean Front Property," '7ody Wat-

ley," Aerosmith's 'Termanent Vaca-

tion," "A Very Special Christmas"

(simultaneous gold). Sting' s "Noth-

ing Like the Sun" (simultaneous

gold), George Winston's "Autumn"and "Winter Into Spring," andINXS's "Kick."

Gold albums held steady in 1987,

with the RIAA pressing 142 gold

prizes, up from 140 in 1986. Goldsingles fell from seven in '86 to three

last year.

Among the 142 were, along with

ters/Roskin/Friedman, Inc.

Bob Jones

more than a job, it was a way of life.'^

I Palomino Club was the

The Tearjerkers are a trio of

talented lovelies who (gasp!) write

their own songs and play their owninstruments. (Added bonus: they

do it very well). Anny Celsi, Allison

MacLeod and Danette Christine

comprise the core of the group -

they are joined by guitarist Bruce

Kaplan and drummer Mark Wag-ner.

In their relatively short time on

the club scene. The Tearjerkers have

proved to be a slickly polished,

gifted troupe. The band couples

clever lyrics with some incredibly

infectious pop rhythms (...sort of

Nick Lowe meets The Shangri-las, if

you will). In addition, the band has

just released a 1" single containing

three of their tunes: "Open Your

Doors," "Get CXit Of Town" and

"Now You're Talkin Bout Some-thin."

The Palomino gig showcasedsuch Tearjerkers originals as "WhatAre You Doing Here Tonight,"

"Amnesia," "Let's Pretend,"

"Glory Road" and '7ust What TheDoctor Ordered" as well as an effec-

tive seasonal medley of "Rockin'

Tom De Savia

Michael JacksonBy Tom De Savia

Tt

LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson:

truly one of the select artists of our

time to earn the title of superstar. At

29 years old, Jackson has easily

evolved into the most successful con-

temporary artist around.

It was 19 years ago, in 1969, whenMichael, along with his brothers in

the Jackson 5, scored their first num-ber one single on the Cash Box charts

with "I Want You Back." An in-

credible string ofMotown hits, which

would go on to become pop classics,

followed: "ABC," 'The Love YouSave," "I'll Be There," "Never CanSay Goodbye" and "DancingMachine" to name a few. In early

years as well, Michael scored severd

hits on his own, most notably I971's

"Got To Be There" and 1972's "Ben"

and "Rockin' Robin."

In 1976 the brothers signed with

Epic Records and became The Jack-

sons. Their first album for the label.

The Jacksons, quickly achieved gold

status with the single "EnjoyYourself" selling over one million

copies.

In 1979, Epic released Off The Wall,

Jackson's solo debut for the label. The

album went on to solidify Jackson as

a legend, spawning four smashsingles: "Don't Stop Til You Get

Enough," "Rock With You," "Off The

Wall" and "She's Out Of My Life."

(Note: both "Don't Stop" and "Rock

With You" reached the number one

position in Cash Box's top 10 popchart and earned gold certification

from theWAA). OffThe Wall sold five

million copies in the U.S. and an ad-

ditional three million around the

world.

On December 1, 1982 Thriller is

released. The LP produces anastonishing (and unprecedented)

seven top ten hits. The LP went on to

become the largest selling album in

history. To date. Thriller has sold over

38.5 million copies worldwide. In ad-

dition, Jackson proved a forerunner

in the then-burgeoning world of

music videos - releasing a bevy of

groundbreaking clips, including

"Billie Jean," "Beat It" and the 1.4-

minute short film 'Thriller."

Five long years later, (on Augi^st

31, 1987 to be exact) Epic released

Bad. The album had the distinction of

being the first album ever to simul-

taneously debut at number one on

both the Cash Box Pop and B/Calbum charts. Since its release,

album has spawned three singles:^"!

Just Can't Stop Loving You," "Bad"

and 'The Way You Make Me Feel."

Both "1 Just Can't..." and "Bad" in-

stantly reached the top of the charts -

'The Way You Make Me Feel" is c or-

rently nestled high in the pop top ;en

(it has already hit number one on

B/C), promising to continue ifee

trend of chart-toppers.

Jackson's long-awaited solo tom is

currently underway and should

reach the U.S. sometime in the spring.

All hype aside - Michael Jackson has

taken an incredible gift of song andelevated to a height of acceptance

and popularity that is unprece-

dented, and there is absolutely no

sign of it letting up. He has achieved

goals that were unheard of, enjoyed

unfathomable success, and continues

to deliver his magic to appreciative

fans everywhere. The legend con-

tinues...

FEATURE SPOTLIGHT

Martha Davis On Her OwnBy Julius Robinson

"I never really wanted to be a

singer. I always thought of myself as

a songwriter," says Martha Davis,

former leader of the Motels, and nowon her own with her debut solo

album Policy (Capitol). "But if BobDylan can sing... so can I. If yourgonna get a hit song from somebody,it's gonna be a pretty standard unit.

Whereas if you do something moreout, you're gonna have to sing it

yourself."

Not many people have com-plained about Davis' singing. It

comes from a brooding, sultry voice,

from a singer/songwriter who tends

to see the darker side of things. When

NEW FACES TO WATCH EAST COASTINGS

Andrea Del ConteBy Jerry Farber

Though Andrea Del Conte will be

first to tell you of her great fortune

i the music business, she will also

!ll you that it is not easy. 'Jn fact, be-

aming a 'rock star' has been quite a

hallenge. There is a long andi^heartening process of demo tapes,

nowcases, negotiations and com-it>mises before the record is evenressed. Then you have to hope that

not only will be released but

romoted as well. Often times, goodongs get lost in the enduringrocess."

^irst time around, Andrea thought

lucked out. Bom and bred in Newbrk with an ability to sing and dancend come across as extremely sen-

ual, Andrea caught the eye of

roducer Bobby Orlando, who wasiarting his own record label. Helade Andrea the lead singer of an all

irl (old '60's type) group called the

Rirts".They did extremely well for

n unknown group and their first

Ibum and hit single "Jukebox"aught the eye and ear of many.Jong with the help of a "just

Leaking" cable music show called

IT. V, the group and Andrea were onffcir way to stardom. Numerouslelvison appearances and tours in

atn America and Europe followed,

lajor labels now took notice and of-

:ried lucrative deals. A secondbium, already recorded, was on the

'ay, but, as is often the case, manage-§tnt problems occured. "Litigation

egan over the ownership of the

Tirt' name,"says Andrea."The producer thought of the

ame but we created the concept. Un-(rtunately, the producer and the ex-

lanager had trademarked the name.Andrea likes having some control

Jer her destiny, and not wanting to

'«ste her talent and time in court, she

ecided to go off on her own. Shegned with Scotti Bros. CBS, whoad been scouting her for a while andtrmed her own group called Andrea,Hot Mink. Her first singlef

"Manhattan", which appeared in

Revenge of the Nerds, was a rhythmicpop song with a calypso flavor. Un-fortunately, the movie promotionwas not enough to push the record or

the artist. Still full of enthusiasm,

Andrea recorded two more songs,

which were to be part of an album. Acrisis in the CBS network followed

and though the label felt the songs

would be hits, they were neverreleased.

Andrea later parted amicably with

Scotti Bros, and decided to start

again.

With strong purpose and en-thusiasm, she signed with herpresent manager/producer, Joe Mes-sina and went back with the studio.

Along with engineer Rory Young(who did Atlantic Star's first album),

she recorded several songs. Messina

then enlisted the services of his client,

director David Saperstein and they

created three videos from the songs.

These videos have since been viewedon both cable and network television.

(In fact, Andrea herself appeared onthe Joe Franklin Show, November 19

& 20th, 1987.)

Her new concept and music goback to the basics. The songs'rhythms and feel come from the roots

of rock and roll circa I950's and the

melodic structure is reminiscent of

music from the '60's. Andrea says, "I

feel that with the fast paced lives welead, and the technology of the worldfar surpassing the human element,

the last thing I want to hear is all this

repetitve, 'microwave' music."Andrea, now nicknamed "Fallen

Angel" (when asked for a definition

she she says it's a mysterious guidein times of need), is on her musicalquest towards basic rodk rhythmwith beautiful melodies and just the

right flair for fun.

Andrea concludes, "Music is an art

as well as a form of entertainment - so

let's keep it that way!"

artha Davis sang her Motels hits

Tnly the Lonely" and "Suddenlyist Summer," you sensed that if

‘^one could deliver a song abouticnation and longing, it was her.

Martha Davis, however, is any-ing but morose. Talking to her, onestruckby her bubbly energy, by hersilience through some tough times.

Berkeley, CA native, she grew upj[.h her parents in a culturally rich.

It emotionally unsettled home. A:f and timid girl, she neverthelessarried at 15, and moved to Floridaraise children. When her husbandent to Vietnam she returned homeraise her two daughters. When herirents' marriage began to crumble,suiting in the suicide of her mother,le turned back to her lifelong pas-on, songwriting and singing.

Despite the admonishments of her

father, she decided to pursue a career

as a musician.

"Reading my mother's diary, I sawthat she had sacrificed everything for

my father. She had given up her

friends, her bohemian interests. She

had nothing left for herself. If youhave desires in your life, you have to

fulfill yourself. I sat my kids downand told them it was going to be hard,

we weren't going to have clothes,

money and a nice place to live. I told

them I had to try... I didn't want to

resent them in ten years."

Shortly afterwards Davis was in

Warfield Foxes, which a couple of in-

carnations later would become the

Motels. She recalled her first time on

a stage: "I was scared to death before


HAPPY NEW YEAR - Best wishesfor good things in '88 to one and all.

THERE'S NO JUSTICE - I

think (Tm not sure) that it's

part of my job to find hid-

den meaning in the uncon-cious movements of the mass cul-

ture psyche. Usually the meaning is

so hidden it's not even there, butsometimes fate spits up randomevents that work as symbols, andit's just too good to true. Likewhen a friend of mine ducks out ona Saturday night invite from a cute

woman he just met and, feeling rest-

less, decides to go to the flicks, onlyto find the neighborhood theater is

showing Attraction. So here arethe facts and nothing but: the last

two pieces of mail I opened beforeleaving for vacation were a press

release announcing that NeverMind the Bollocks Here's The SexPistols, released ten years ago, hadjust been certified gold Dy theR.I.A.A. (sales of 500,000), and apress release announcing thatWhitesnake, released last year, hadjust been certified quadrupleplatinum (sales in excess of FOURMILLION units). I mean, with con-sumers this irresponsible, maybeJoe Biden should get some spandexpants and re-enter the race.

single shots of genius. Lots of gemsare collected here, like a stunningly

lovely duet with Nick Lowe on the

Shirelles's "Baby It's You." Costel-

lo dances around the melodywithout ever leaving it, and the em-bellishments are worthy of com-

?arison with Chet Baker andhelonius Monk. The album is an

often thrilling mish-mash of every-

thing from soul to country to anAllen Toussaint produced cover of

a Yoko Ono song. You'll wonderhow some of this stuff got left off the

records, until you reach the last four

songs on the second side, at whichpoint you'll know why some of this

stuff got left off the records.

THE BEAT

Elements Tour - Earth, Wind &Fire will kick off their first tour

in five years at St. Petersburg,

Florida's Bayfront CenterJanuary 9th. The show the band unveils

at St. Petersburg, FL will be one of

astonishing proportions. The spectacle

has taken a crew of sixty 45,000 man-hours to put together, and has c»st over

a million dollars to produce. It draws onthe talents of behind-the-scenes experts

like: Stig Edgren, designer andproducer, who conceived the staging for

The Pope's visit to LA's DodgerStadium and for the grand finale of the

Los Angeles Ol57mpics; Roy Bennett,

lighting designer for Prince; andMichael Peters, who choreographedvideos for Michael Jackson (Peters did

"Thriller") and for Lionel Richie, andwho helped conceive Broadway's"Dream Girls."

The return of Earth, \Mnd & Fire to

the stage is an event of unusual propor-

tions. From 1971 to 1983, Earth, Wind &Fire won six Grammys, sold close to 40

million records, and landed 30 singles

on the pop charts. Those singles werenot normal commercial fare. They were,

said The Village Voice, "inordinately

brilliant... everything a fan <x)uld want:

transcendent, experimental, mel-lifluous, quirky."

But Earth, \Mnd & Fire was one of

those rare bands whose stage showrs

were pioneering extravaganzas on a parwfith their music Earth, Wind & Fire

tours were among the first to employlasers, the first to recruit specialists like

magician Doug Henning, and the first

to take visual spectacle to a level that

could only be called breathtaking.

In November, 1987, Earth, Wtod &Fire returned with their first LP in four

years. The results were impressive.

Touch The World entered thepop charts

in its first week higher than records byGeorge Harrison, Steve Winwood,Neil Diamond and Bryan Ferry, all of

which debuted at the same time. In ad-

dition, the band's first new single since

1983, "System of Survival," soared to

number one on the dance and R&Bcharts.

Earth, Wind & Fire mastermindMaurice White has been determined to

keep the visual details of the band's up-

coming tour under wrap>s. But one thing

is certain. White and group membersPhilip Bailey, Verdine White, AndrewWoolfolk, Sheldon Reynolds andRalph Johnson have planned a showthat carries the standards established byEarth, V\^d & Fire in the early 70's to a

level that will set new standards for the

90's.

Mega Talent-One day in 1986 Garry

Glenn, as a songwriter, had three songs

on the national (diarts at once: "Rapture"

by Anita Baker, "Heaven In YourArms," by R.J/s Latest Arrival and"Hame Of Love" by Jean Came. Thedistinction was the career highlight of a

multi-faceted artist who, either as a

songwriter, singer, producer, keyboar-

dist, arranger or all of the above, has

worked with Freddie Jackson, Atlantic

Starr, Billy Ocean, Phyllis Hyman,Melissa Manchester, Earth, Wind &Fire and The Emotions, among a list of

others. That day in '86 was the highlight

- until now.Feels Good To Feel Good is the debut

Motown LP of Garry Glenn, written, ar-

ranged, performed and produced, need-less to say, by Garry Glenn, the swaying,yearning, heartfelt "Do You Have ToGo," Garry's first single, is typical of the

album. Songs like "Torch For You,""Ruiming Away," "Out Of A Dream,""You Don't Even Know" and the tile

track (his current single) all share special

qualities: exciting rhythm tracks (manyof them cut "live" as opposed to beingoverdubbed, instrument by instrument;

remember real drums?) and dramatical-

ly soulful arrangements. At the center of

it all are forever-captivating vocal per-

formances that find Garry going from a

macho gruff to a soaring falsetto - andeverything in between - with noproblem whatsoever. Indeed, if Garry is

anything, he is a singer.

Feels Good To Feels Good ends upan ambitious mission completed, but

then, Garry has had this particailar am-bition for years. "It has been a dream of

mine to record an album of this type of

music - soulful, sophisticated stuJEf that

calls for real singing and playing - andit's always been a fantasy of mine to

record for Motown. Both of those

dreams have come true and it's great."

Garry's dream was bom, fittingly, in

the same place Motown chairman Berry

Gordy's dream was realized - in Detroit,

where Garry, one of seven kids, wasborn and raised. "I grew up in a

religious family where everyone plays,

sings and writes," says Garry. "My ear-

liest experiences of working in musicwere with my older sister, Beverly

Glenn, who made gospel records andtoured. I'd travel with her, playing andsinging. We'd play the churciies and col-

leges of different cities. And in high

sch<x)l I directed an 8()-voice choir. So, I

was always aroimd music, always doing

it."

Garry calls Feels Good To Feel Good,recorded over a two month period be-

tween his road gig as Anita Baker's

keyboardist, "a labor of love. The mostdifficult part in making it was being ob-

jective. When you're wearing three hats

- that of artist, songwriter and producer

-it can be tough. Butmy demos are whatgot me the deal at Motown in the first

placeand I producied those, so I kept that

in mind."And Garry says he feels no special

pressure to succeed over the growingnumber of male vocalists today. "I Icxsk

at it the way (basketball ^ant) Dr. J sees

it," he says. "We were talking bad^tageat one of Anita Baker's shows and hesaid, 'There's room for us all.' I'm just

SASS -Anita Baker (1) stopped backstage to

meet Sarah Vaughan at New York's Blue

Note, where the Divine One was recently in

residence.

Lots of leftoverSTUFF - It's too early in theyear to get analytical and in-

cisive, so let's just clean off

the desk: First off, last issue I

published my list of the 10 best jazz

albums of '87. It wasn't an easy list

to compile, but I'd just like to men-tion the artists whose albums almost

made the list (the runners-up, as it

were). In no particular order:Michel Petrucciani, The SonnyClark Memorial Quartet, TimBerne, Dave McKenna, Dave Hol-land, Marvin "Smitty" Smith,several Steve Lacy projects (a couplewith Mai Waldron, some otherduets, another Sextet album ortwo), George Adams/Don Pullen,

Joe Williams, Shirley Horn, RayAnderson, Mose Allison, CharlieHaden, Major Holley/SlamStewart and Mike Westbrook. Asusual, I didn't include reissues or

previously-unissued items (there'd

be too many and it's unfair for con-temporary records to be comparedto reissued masterpieces) or suchnon-jazz items as the new recordsby Joao Gilberto and CaetanoVeloso...WoJ/ Trap Salutes DizzyGillespie: An All-Star Salute to tl^

]azz Master will be aired aroundFebruary 26 over most PBS Stations,

as part of the new season of Great

Performances. The 90-minute show- culled from a fantastic 70thbirthday tribute to the great Diztaped at Wolf Trap last year - will

feature the baron of bebop in

numerous settings, including per-

formances with the likes of SonnyRollins, Wynton Marsalis and Car-men McRae.. ..Virgin Records is get-

ting set to unveil Venture Records,an - are you ready? - "adventureacross the boundaries of music".Well, we'll see about that, butamong those with debut Venturereleases due in Feburary are Lester

Bowie's Brass Fantasy andEngland's Itchy Fingers. ..The Na-tional Academy of Jazz has in-

ducted Barry Manilow into its

Board of Governors - a worthwilechoice, goodness knows. ..In the up-coming (figure Christmas of '88)

film Scrooge (just what we need,another screen version of TheChristmas Carol), starring Bill Mur-ray, there's a scene in which MilesDavis, David Sanborn, LarryCarlton and Paul Shaffer appear as

street musicians. Ho, ho.

ho.. .Singers & The Song, Gene Lee'saccount of popular (read: Sinatra,

Sarah, Peggy Lee, etc.) singers hasrecently been published ($18.95,

Oxford University Press)...GRPRecords has signed Japan's Yutaka(a koto and synthesizer player),

Hungary's Szacksi (a pianist), andAmericans John Patittucci (a bas-sist) and Eric Marienthal (a

saxophonist) to record deals. If the

last two sound familiar, they're in

Chick Corea's current band, and oTChick is producing therecords...Look, vinyl lives. Sincejust about every jazz reissue this

day is coming out on CD only, it's

almost surprising to see that Atlan-

tic, anyway, is still reissuing jazz onvinyl. New in the Jazzlore series are

Big Joe Turner's 1956-59 "Big JoeRides Again" (a jazz album with,

among others, Coleman Hawkins,Lawrence Brown and Pete Brown),'The Art Farmer Quartet Featuring

Jim Hall Live at the Half Note"('63), the Modem Jazz Quartet's1962 "Lonely Woman," EstherPhillips' "Confessin' The Blues" (a

'66 big band date and a '70 smallgroup date), Charles Mingus'swonderful "Oh Yeah" ('61), LeeKonitz's fine "Inside Hi-Fi" (two'56 quartet sessions), and Jess

Stacy's "A Tribute to Benny Good-man," '54 sides done with Good-man sidemen and released to coin-

cide with the Goodman screen biog-

raphy..Jazz From the City, a weeklytwo-hour contemporary jazz radioshow hosted by Ken Webb, is nowavailable via United Stations Satel-

lite. Call (212) 401-1236 for the low-down...Antilles New Directions hasjust reissued saxophonist JimPepper's "Cornin' and Coin'," a

well-named album that has, in afew years, been on Europa,Rykodisc and Antilles...Photog-rapher Joe La Russo has put out alimited edition poster of WoodyHerman to benefit the NationalAcademy of Jazz's Woody HermanFoundation Fund. The poster is

available for $20 (unsigned) or $30(signed) from La Russo Photog-raphy, PO Box 480357, Dept. BB, LosAngeles, CA 90048. ..Billy Taylor,Art Blakey and Lionel Hamptonare the recipients of the NationalEndowment for the Arts' 1988 JazzMasters Fellowships. The Fellow-ships carry $20,000 grants...GRPtoured a good hunk of its artist

roster in Japan in October, "GRPSuper Live '87," and expect to see

live albums, videos, and all sorts of

other stuff from the tour early this

year...NEWJAZ-TV is a new service

album cover art videos (trust me)unscrambled, for free, to cable sys-

tems. Want to know more? Call

them in Fort Collins, CO at (303)

INDEPENDENTWAY

The Independent Way begins by looking back. By reflecting through these

pages, on what happened out there...whose product made a splash, ripple or

tidal wave in 1987.

We invite you to join us as we salute the artists, the labels, the distributors. .

.

raise a glass, if you will, to the rappers who were raising hell and the womenwho had perfect timing. A toast as well to jazz performers Bill Watrous and

Doc Severinsen for taking home Grammys in '87. And a special cup of

Gatorade to the independent rock labels who managed to keep on rolling.

But, more than reflecting on the year thafs gone, we ask you to grow with us

in the year to come. To help us with advice and information as we strive to

develop this independent communications vehicle, as we work to put together

meaningful sales and airplay monitors utilizing an innovative computer sys-

tem that will enable us to obtain sales information directly from retailers and

distributors across the country; and which will make possible immediate and

direct communication with music programmers in selected markets from coast

to coast. We anticipate that these features will be "most read" sections of The

Independent Way, and they have to be right. Please be patient as these systems

are being finalized.

In weeks to come we will bring you label profiles, reviews of newly released

product, plus news that relates to independent product and independent

manufacturers, distributors, retailers, producers, publishers and others whocontribute to the overall make-up of the independent music industry. It's going

to be quite a journey.

all committee make-up as well asat the chairperson level, was aconscious effort to bring a newfeeling of cooperation andproblem-sharing and problem-soMng to the independent recordindustiy.

In the coming weeks Cash Boxwill introduce you to variouspeople who played a part in the

inception and development of the

communications vehicle nowknown as The Independent Way.Among the first of these sup-porters was Eric H. Paulson, a 21

year veteran of the music in-

dustry.

and Record Distributors, movingfrom there to TranscontinentalMusic where he held the position

of National Sales Manager. Pick-

wick International acquired the

firm in 1974 and Paulsonremained on their executive staff

for nine years, rising to the posi-

tion of Senior Vice President andGeneral Manager of the PickwickDistribution Companies.A scant five years ago, in May

of 1983, he left that position to

start Navarre Corporation, open-ing for business as a distributor

of home entertainment software

in November of that year. In just

four years Navarre Corporation

has experienced phenomenalgrowth, and is now recognized asone of the largest independentdistributors in the United States,

and is without equal in this

country as a rack-jobber/dis-

tributor of home computersoftware.

Paulson’s own astonishingsuccess marks him as an innova-tive and resourceful marketingman. There is little doubt that hewill prove to be not only a valu-

able member of the sub-commit-tee on marketing, but a true force

in the overall development andprogress of the independentrecord industry.

NEW RELEASES

POP/ROCK

Texas Instruments

THE TEXAS INSTRUMENTSRabid Cat Records (RAB-TI-010)

Following in the footsteps of such

80's power trios as the Minutemen,Husker Du, and the Meat Puppets

comes Austin's own Texas Instru-

ments. The 13 song, self-titled effort

marks their first long-playingrelease, and the beginning of their

collaboration with Rabid CatRecords. Other artists featured onthe label are Happy World, Not For

Sale, and the now defimct Scratch

Acid.

The album has been doing well for

these Texas natives, having already

charted on several college radio andalternative music polls. Combiningmusical influences as diverse as folk,

punk, and psychedelic, the Texas In-

struments have managed to come upwith a sound that is refreshing with

the first listen, while more revealing

and rewarding after each new spin.

The group consists ofdrummer Steve

Chapman, bass player Ron Marks,

and guitarist David Woody. Marksand Woody first started playing

together in El Paso while they werestill in high school. After moving to

Austin in 1983 they hooked up with

Chapman, and have been a mainstay

of the local club circuit ever since.

Musically, these dudes can shred,

blowing away most of the groups

they tend to be categorized with.

Lyrically, the same. They preach op-

timism and survival without sound-

ing right«)us or insincere.

Outstanding cuts on the album in-

clude the originals 'Trussian Blue,"

"The Action Jackson," the in-

strumental "Don't Let Anything Get

Empty," the lyrically literate "NoWonder I'm Confused," and a

remake of the Dharma Bums' "Girl

Like You." The band also turns in

some great covers of WoodyGuthrie's "Do Re Mi" and Dylan's

"A Hard Rain's (Gonna Fall)."

Dylan's influence in particular can beheard throughout the LP.

The release was recorded during a

three day period at Austin's EuropaSoimd Centre. Producing, engineer-

ing, and mixing the effort was Spot,

whose past production credits in-

clude the first Texas Instrument EPand early efforts from Husker Du.The Texas Instruments have

toured extensively throughout the

Southwest and are making plans for

their first west coast gigs. The tour

will most likely commence after the

release or tneir secuiiu diuuiiL,

Tunnels, which is set for a March

release. For more information

regarding the T.I.'s releases and tour

itinerary, along with other Rabid Cat

disks, contact label heads Stacey

Cloud or Laura Croteau (great bu^-

ness cards, ladies) at (512) 926-99S§.

Joe Satriani

SURFING WITH THE ALIENRelativity (88561-8193-1) .

;

Often times the most higW;developed musicians spend year

mining for new sounds and redefir

ing what is possible on their instr

ments. This may include years

living in obscurity, with no recognJ

tion for the ingenuity and commT*ment necessary to be a true pio^

i

in the the highly competitive wf^of contemporary music. Guitarist

Satriani is one such innovator wlbecoming more visible by the

with his his second LP, Surfing Tj

The Alien, recently released v

Relativity Records.

Satriani is perhaps best knownhaving been Steve Vai's guitar in

structor. Vai has become one of rotik'

most respected guitarists, having

played with Frank Zappa, Alcatre:

and currently the David Lee Rotl

Band. Upon first listen to Satriani, it':

apparent his association with Vai hac

a symbiotic effect, each reapmjbenefits from the other's style andrin

tensity. Satriani taught the book oi

wang bar technique back before suci

a thing had been developed. He i

also a master of the two handed approach, first made fashionable. b«

Eddie Van Halen, but somethlitv

Satriani's been polishing for the pe

fifteen years.

Many modem guitar heros corr

to mind when spinning "Surfii.^

With The Alien." Besides Vai and Var

Halen, Kirk Hammett of Metallica

also a former student of Satri^»Ti;

Yngwie Malmsteen, Jeff Beck anc

traces of A1 Dimeola all come to

mind," A cross between Van Haler

and the Neville Brothers" as Satrian

himself has described. This is not all

stuff you've heard before, however,

as Satriani pushes, wails, and glitfss

his way into undiscovered caverns of

sound and technique sure to rile ar\y

guitar enthusiast or music energy

fteak.

Most of the album is playful

straight ahead throbbing rock music

with relentless soloing. Satriani

never resorts to mindless riffing,

however, as each solo is packed with

f'r^h ever tmfolding new ideas. The

^ie track and the barn burnin'"Satch

Sf.'ogie" could wake you from the

dead of sleep into a vertical salute in

one motion.

On the more mellow side, the jazzy

inTra to "Circles,"the Oriental flavor

of/'Lords ofKarma," and the flamen-

co-sounding "Midnight"are subtle

h.^hlights revealing Joe's broadrange of influences. "I didn't take

guitar lessons when I started play-

ing. I just played along with records

b’ • Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, JohnyWinter, Mike Bloomfield, as well as

pop-oriented stuff hke the Beatles'

ti the Stones. I'd just imitate those

aflngs, figure out the sounds andhen take it somewhere else."

Satriani has most certainly ar-

''\^3d'somewhere else.' Co-producedind engineered by John Cuniberti,

,'i^ng With The Alien is an expedi-

ion into the world of "Guitar Fan-^/-ia."Musically speaking, ifyou like

/our coffee black and (drive a

Maserati on the coast highway at

light, Joe Satriani is your man andpurfing With The Alien should be a

terpiece in your collection.

LENT ON STAGE

Allan

Holdsworth

THE PALACE COURT, HOL-- The eclectic wizardry of

Mr. Holdsworth & Co. began at ThePalace Court tonight in the first of his

s^; shows here. Loyalists packed thec j^ib for a glimpse of the masterfulHoldsworth at work, revealing his

unique brand of music. If you'venever seen Holdsworth or heard himpl^y it's difficult to describe the ex-

perience. NWGIGKLBMCINODUF-. That's like a line of music stream-

injg from his fingers, restructuring

the musical symbols with which thelistener is familiar in order to

generate obscure beauty and mean-ing.

Opening the show with a cut fromSand, his latest LP for Relativity

Records, the set was a good cross rep-

resentation of several of his albums,Atavachron, l.O.U. and Road Games.

As you listen to this band it is ap-

parent they are thinking in a highly

developed language only distantly

related to any established musiciidiom. Perhaps electric cathedral jazz

of the 21st century. Holdsworth's in-

ventive unconventional approach to

harmony creates an orchestral mag-nitude to his sound, particularly with

his Synth-Axe, the most sophisti-

cated guitar synthesizer available.

Holdsworth has been pushing the

envelope of current technology for

years, sporting walls of rackmounted effects affectionately

dubbed "Mission Control."

Simultaneously he has beenredefining the technology of guitar

playing, transcending the conven-

tions and cliches of his instrument

much the same way as John Coltrane

reinvented the saxophone. Needless

to say, Holdsworth has been revered

throughout the world by guitarists

and musicians alike, and is con-

tinually expanding his community of

listeners through frequent tours andrecordings. Wednesday evening he

more than satisfied - he satiated his

fans at the Palace Court with daz-

zling virtuosity and timeless com-positions.

The rhythm section of Gary Hus-band on drums and Jimmy Johnson

on bass countered Holdsworth with

improvisational fire, constantly shift-

ing the feel and responding with sen-

sitive fervor to undulations in the sea

of melodies. Keyboardist Steve Huntrounded out the quartet with somestaggering soloing of his own, very

much in the leader's vein. In fact,

with Holdsworth's highly developed

left hand attack, making even a con-

ventional guitar sound more like a

keyboard or horn, the voices of the

two players were, at times, almost in-

terchangeable.

Some of the evening's highlights

were during "Pud Wud" from the

newest album, "Devil Take TheHindmost," and "Letters Of Mar-que," with extended stretching by

each member of the band. It is chal-

lenging to cite highlight's however,

as the intensity of the entire episode

was more salient than individual mo-ments.

Allan Holdsworth continues to

delve into fresh sonic territory, in-

spiring those daring and patient

enough to participate. Not for the

passive of mind or squeamish of

notes, really listening to Holdsworthcan be much like reading a novel byCarlos Casteneda.

ALBUM REVIEWVERN GOSDIN - Chisled In Stone -

Columbia, FC 40982

Just when you think this guy hasdone the best singing of his career, hecomes out with a new album! Gosdin's

Columbia debut album is a real "candystore" for Gosdin-lovers, and hedemonstrates his ability to do both bal-

lads and up-tempo numbers equally

weU. There's no doubt about it, VemGosdin treats a lyric like no one else.

This album has some of the best material

we've heard in a long time. The only dif-

ficulty in listening is deciding which cut

you like best! In the mood for a goodold-fashioned case of the goose-bumps?Get yourself a copy of this product.

COUNTRYOUT OF THE BOX

JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP(Mercury, 888-934-7) Cherry Bomb(4:49) (Riva-ASCAP) (J. Mellencamp)(Producers: J. Mellencamp, D. Gehman)

John Cougar Mellencamp and I grewup in the same part of southern Indiana

so, it came as no surprise that he wrotethis covmtry song about a "countrytown" and "out in the sticks." Johngives us a fine vocal delivery on this

song with a heavy beat and quick phras-

ing. Harmonies and backgroundsingers are well-placed in this fine

production. Some instruments may not

be considCTed "country," but the com-bined product surely qualifi^. We give

credit where it is due. This is a goodcountry release!

FEATURE PICKS——__—

—

HOLLY DUNN (MTM, B-72093) Strangers Again (3:08) (Blackwood, Tree-

BMI) (H. Dunn, C. Waters) (Producer: T. West)

This is a very pretty ballad with exceptionally strong lyrics. It may well

be one of those songs that challenges the vocalist to produce more than the

ordinary in emotion and delivery. The product has an overall easy feel

about it, featuring a fine fiddle in the ride. Not in the same "mold" as

Holly's previous releases.

THE McCarters (Wamer Bros., 7-28125-A) Timeless And True Love (2:35)

(Chappell, Chriswald, Hopi Sound, Buzz Cason-ASCAP) (A. Roberts, C. Black,

B. Cason) (Producer: P. Worley)

Right from the intro, this is a solid country arrangement. The lead vocal

is pleasant, but the harmonies add "punch." However, The McCarters mayneed a little more flair in their deMvery. It works well enough, but the

sound was almost too laid-back, and the song lyrics do not dictate solemn-ness.

MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER (Columbia, 38-07681) Just Because (3:05)

(Getarealjob-ASCAP) (M. C. Carpenter) (Producer: J. Jennings)

Talk about "laid-back"! Mary Chapin Carpenter really puts the soft-sell

on this one. This song has a good lyrical message, but it's difficult to ab-

sorb without emphasis anywhere. With a voice like hers, Mary should be"excited". Tender is tender, but.......

HOLLY DUNN DOES FT AGAIN' 1987 Horizon Award reagent Holly Dunn (right) is

shown with video director Sam Cokes, of Studio Productions, while getting ready for the next

shot of Holly's new vidio release "Strangers Again." This is her thirdMTM video, and also the

third single from her secondMTM LP "Conerstone." Holly wrote the song with her brother

Chris Waters, while the video's executive producer is MTM CEO Alan Bernard.

RICKY VAN SHELTON CELEBRATESAT HIS NUMBER ONE PARTY INNASHVILLE! Ricky Van Shelton (left) and

Cash Box's Nashville director of operations,

Richard F. (Tony) D'Antonio (right), were all

smiles during the celebration party given in

honor of Ricky's first number one song,

“Somebody Lied," given at CBS Records in

Nashmlle. One of the brightest new stars on

the Country Music scene, Ricky Van Shelton

is a native of Grit, Virginia, and is proud of

his country roots. All indications are that the

country music fans around the nation are just

as proud of his country singing. The party

was attended by an over-flow crowd of well

wishers and country music executives.

NASHVILLE NOTE-ABLES

Kim Grayson...“When C

The Time Is Right,

ril Be Ready!”•/

Kim Grayson is makingsome big waves in the sea

of artists who recordcountry music. Kim is a beautiful

little lady from Plano, Texas, whorecords on the Soundwaves record

label. Her latest single release hasbeen climbing the Cash Box Top 100

Chart at a steady rate. If you haveheard Kim's performance of "If

Only You Knew," you will knowwhy the record has been so success-

ful.

A! Hinson (entertainment direc-

tor for Dollywood) is producingKim on her recordings, and the

products have gained Kim somewell-deserved recognition in the

country music industry. Kim hasalso been doing her part in promot-ing her recording efforts. She has a

super personality, and she has doneherself proud by visiting radio sta-

tions around the country. She re-

lated, 'I'm trying to visit as manystations as possible during the three

to four weeks I have schooled for

visits. I had a chart song called

"Love's Slippin' Up On Me," before.

But, we're looking for this latest

record to do much better." Throughthe efforts of all involved, her latest

has done much, much better.

H'm trying to get a break," she

said with a charming smile. "I

started singing in Dallas night clubs

when I was a senior in high school.

I've had some offers for financi^

backing and management. But, I

have learned to be very careful

about getting too excited over

casual conversation. I have an ex-

cellent manager in Randy Jackso:^

He manages Janie Frickie, to6.

Randy has managed many welFknown artists through his career."

Kim Grayson records at the Merit

Music studios in Nashville. Cur-rently, Kim has six songs "in the

can" awaiting another recordingj,

session which will complete her

album project.

"Right now. I'm concentrating onpromoting my record, so I'm not

doing too much performing on the

road. I think promotion is more im-

portant at this time. When we get

better known, we'll go out on th#

road and work hard. When the tin^is right. I'll be ready!" This state-

ment let me know that Kim is a wise

and educated young lady.

She continued, in a determine'd'

tone of voice, "I want the record to

be a hit! My first goal is to be suc-

cessful on records. Of course, I

want to go out and perform, too, bu’J.

I know personal appearances will

come with record success. My mai^"

goal is to become a major act. I've

come too far to quit, or give up,

now!"Kim Grayson is destined for a

bright future as a coimtry music art^"

ist. In the first place, she sings veryvery well. Then, too, she has a

smile-hich can melt the hardest

heart. Plus...she is sincere anddetermined to reach preset goals',

which she has dearly set for herself

in step-by-step order. Sincerely

singing with a smile, Kim Graysonwill succeed, and I'll be there to giv#

her a standing ovation!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION FOR KXAL! Radio station KXAL, in Pittsburgh,

Texas, celebrated a first birthday in a big way last month! The event was marked with a special

concert, and it was a "packed house" success. Why not? With recording artists such as new-

comer Dusty Marlin (left) and the master Ray Price (right), on-the-air personality, Bobby Lee

Williams (center), seems to be enjoying the "party", cake and all!

COUNTRY INDIES

INDIE SPOTLIGHTVaRLTON moody & THE MOODY-J'^ROTHERS (Lamon, LR-10174-45) YouTurned The Lights On (3:05) (Laymond,Puggy-BMI) (R. Shackelford)(Producers: The Moody Brothers)

• This is a great lead vocal by Carlton

Moody, and the gentle harmonies of his

others are perfect. No wonder these

*^ys are the premier country group^th European fans! The group is al>

solutely major label material. Carlton

puts "curls" and "growls" into his per-

formance to bring the country fans to in-

siant attention. Good song with a "hit-

and-back off" arrangement. Excellent

product!

' INDIE FEATURE PICKSCANYON (16th Avenue, B-70410) Overdue (2:30) (Milene, Rick Hall, Maypop-ASCAP; BMI) (T.

Krasfield, R. Byrne, R Bowles) (Producer: T. Brasfield)

Sounds like another fine group has arrived upon the scene. The lead vocal has a strongKennyRogers-like sound...and that ain't bad! The harmoiues sound somewhat harsh, but that could

from the hard beat and the song tempo. The melody is rather boring, but the group is exdt-

ing.

'^JILLY JOE BURNETTE (Bear, CP-190) Huggin' My Lady (2:35) (Lee Meador-ASCAP; Fancy

Pants-BMD (V. Pratt, W. Davis, B. Faulkner) (Producer: V. Pratt)

Well, heUo again, Billy Joe! He finally got out from behind that desk and went behind a

microphone, like his heart told him to do. It paid off, too! The song is pleasing and positive,

^nd so are the product results. Simply put, this is one fine job, vocally, and should do very well

in radioland for Billy Joe Burnette. Welcome home, son!

NORM SCHAFFER (DSP, 8712-A) Dallas Darlin' (3:28) (Warner Electra Asylum, Dorff Songs,

f^ama Boy-affiliates unlisted) (S. Dorff, M. Brown) (Producers: J. Kent, T. Migliore, J. Williamson)

Probably the strongest song of the week, and Norm Schaffer surely does it justice. It sounds

i ke he really enjoys his work. It's strong country and well-produced. We sure would enjoy

hearing more of Norm and his coimtry d^very. Keep 'em coming!

CREDITS“Lookin’ For Love".Johnny Lee

“Just Another Woman In Love"..Anne Murray“Don’t Say Goodnighr..Reba McEntire

“Beautiful Body”..David Frizzell

Patti Ryan says, ”1 started writing late in comparison to most songwriters."

Patti attained her masters degree and was teaching art at Gulfport high school in Mississippi when thoughts of songwriting

first crossed her mind. She had been interested and involved in music earlier in life. Her mother taught classical piano. So,

Patti heard a lot of music and even played with a few bands. However, she thought the odds were to high against becominga successful songwriter when choosing a career for herself.

In 1976, after spending a year in Europe, Patti decided she would give songwriting a try. She met Wanda Mallette, asecond grade teacher, and they co-wrote some songs and sent them to Bob Morrison in Nashville. "It was like a miracle,"

said Patti. "There was a little song titled ‘Lookin’ For Love In All The Wrong Places’ in that group of songs." That was the

1980 Country Song of the Year. Patti stil didn’t move to Nashville. She was afraid of being a "flash in frie pan" success.

However, in 1984, Anne Murray recorded anotfier of her songs "Just Another Woman In Love". That was her second #1

song, and Patti Ryan moved to Nashville convinced that she should write full-time.

Since moving here, her songs have been recorded by such greats as Reba McEntire, Mel McDaniel, Tammy Wynette,

David Frizzell, Con Hunley, Del Shannon and Moe Bandy.

New Kit

From Sega"Shinobi" is the newest kit from

Sega Enterprises, Inc. (U.S.A.) and its

their first since "Choplifter", whichwas a big hit for the company. Thegame theme focuses on a rescue ad-

venture, featuring fast paced high ac-

tion which takes players through five

different stages with 23 distinctive

mission. Each of the five stages con-

cludes with a "final confrontation"

with the master force. Successful

defeat of the master force advances

players to a unique bonus round andthen on to the next stage to face evenmore ominous villains.

The game has one eight-way joys •

tick and three button controls as fol-

lows: the first button controls tKe

jump function; the second controls

the player's weapon function and the

third controls the "special pow»'"feature. This "power" eliminates all

enemies on the screen and can*^^

used only once in each mission.

In Shinobi Sega has included a ne^H^

internally mounted service panel to

be installed by the operator during

the conversion process. This paf.el

will house the service switch, test

switch, and volume control, giving

the operator access to all accoun^rfg

information and statistics to keep tine

game percentaged properly; as well

as access to the self-test information.

The panel, teamed with outstanding

components and cabinet graphics, is

designed to ensure maximum earn-

ing potential for a minimal invfele-

ment. Âs stressed by Tom Petit, senior

vice president-sales and marketing,

'This is the gretest kit we've seen

since Choplifter. If Shinobi was nofof

the same quality vintage, we wouldnot be involved with it," he ad4^.'The income has been superb!"

i

I ever got on stage, which was ap-

propriate because my first encounter

with an audience was in San Francis-

co, 1971... it was Halloween night at

an artist community based in a

warehouse and everyone was onacid. There was a man in front of mepainted blue and he was naked. This

was Rock and Roll folks! I was total-

ly aghast. I was trying to get out of

the place, when someone said... 'if

you're not going on, they're going

on.' I just went 'uh-uh, we're going

on.' I walked on stage, staring

everyone in the eye. I got on myknees, I became an animal. It hap-

pened totally naturally, and shocked

the hell out of me... All of a suddenanother part of me came raging out.

CXêr the years, it's become the most

psychologically healthy thing for

me.Soon the band moved to L.A., and

became the first generation of Motels.

The band play^ local gigs, always

attracting a loyal following. Theyfound themselves opening for the

then unsigned Van Halen. The bandseemed to be going more in the direc-

tion of a heavier rock sound than

Davis wanted. The band wasreformed in 1978. The new band had

the melodic, understated quality that

was to become the classic Motels

sound. Capitol signed them in '79.

The Motels became internationally

known and it was while Davis toured

with the band in Europe that she

penned "Only the Lonely." It was a

song about being on the road with

Tim McGovern, Martha's boyfriend

and guitarist in the band.

"We were trying to have a relation-

ship... trying to stay in the sameroom... fighting constantly. Here wewere in this setting that was 180

degrees different from what we felt.

Everything should be perfect, but wewere out there just pretending."

The Motels recorded five records

for Capitol. Policy began as a Motels

album. But Davis sensed the time

was ripe for a change, for a chance to

taneous gold). Also scoring gold

work with new people. She had beenwriting and demoing all the songs

anyway, and had enlisted the help of

sythesist Gary Chang andproducer/ guitarist Richie Zito. "I

was talking to Marty Girard (the

Motels keyboard player) about howto explain the breakup," said Davis.

"He said tell everyone that a May fly

has a lifespan of two days - the

Motels were together for eight years!

Some things just have to end."

Despite a recent bout with cancer,

Martha Davis remains morephilosophical than religious. Shesays about "Heaven Outside MyDoor" a song on the new album:"Some people might look at the song

and say I'm bom again... but it's melooking outside at Mars and Jupiter.

My personal belief is more of an aweof science."

Songwriting remains her primary

form of self expression, besides being

a necessity to put together an album.Davis writes fifty or more songs for

each project. "A great song is cap-

tivating emotionally, it may not even

be very commercial at times. I've al-

ways wanted to write film scores.

That is pure emotion to me." (She

sang on the soundtrack to the film

Made in Heaven).

Her interest in films has led to her

recent acting debut in Bill and Ted's

Excellent Adventure, along withClarence Clemons and Fee Waybill.

She even read for the part of Dorothy

in Blue Velvet. 'That one would have

been a hard one to pull off. Imagine

making my film debut with Dennis

Hopper in my crotch!"

"People say, 'Martha you're so

good on stage you should be in

movies.' They don't realize that it's

180 degrees different. Live you're

playing to the guy in the back. Onfilm you see everything. It's not easi-

ly transferable."

Martha Davis remains a unique

artist, committed to the integrity of

her music. She concludes confident-

ly, 'T'll never change my style to

please anyone."

Home VideoYear In Review

By Julius Robinson

LOS ANGELES - The public con-

tinued to show an appetite for homevideo viewing this year. At year end,

the top-selling videos come from HVgiants like Disney (Lady and the

Tramp, Sleeping Beauty), Paramount(Crocodile Dundee, Top Gun, Star Trek

IV), Lorimar (Jane Fonda's Low Impact

Workout) and MCA (An American

Tail). These were the visible succes-

ses, but as in any highly competitive

industry it is the news from the

trenches that tells the story of HomeVideo in 1987.

Video piracy continued to be a

nagging problem. Jack Valenti of the

Motion Picture Association es-

timated that worldwide one billion

dollars has been lost this year to

pirates, 700 million in the U.S. alone.

Stepped-up law enforcement efforts

by the FBI have scarcely put a dent

into illegal duping. September raids

in the Los Angles area resulted in the

arrest of 15 suspects.

New developments in VCR tech-

nology may aid home taping, not to

mention video pirates. HoweverVCR hardware companies feel un-

fairly persecuted. GO Video of

Scotsdale, Arizona filed a

$250,000,000 lawsuit against the

MPAA and several Japanese andKorean firms. GO claimed that their

attempt to manufacture a newdouble-cassette video player/re-corder was being stymied by a

boycott. The machine will allow high

quality video cassette duping in one

unit.

On another battlefront, a fight over

home video distribution rights for

the blockbuster Platoon was wagedbetween HBO and Vestron. HemdaleFilm Corp. the owner of the master,

originally penned a deal withVestron before the film became a hit,

then claimed a breach of contract

with Vestron. A new deal was struck

with HBO for a reported 14 million,

more than twice the original selling

price to Vestron. Before the dust hadcleared, Chrysler' s Lee lacocca hadpaid HBO 1 million for an introduc-

tory tribute, and HBO had already

prepared for shipment of nearly

400,000 copies. At this writing a coiffc

ruling appears to have gone in

Vestron's favor. In the meantime t%film may have already missed the

boat for this X-mas rush. And so^:

goes.

In Las Vegas this summer the

Video Dealer's Software Association

held one of their largest conventions,

drawing nearly 12,000 people. Ii)

seminars and meetings several cdn-

clusions were drawn. First, madg^for-video productions were in no

danger of overtaking feature films

‘with "A" titles; Spanish langua^ê

videos show an enormous potentid

for growth; commercials in homevideos will continue to increase

video producers ought to ado^tMPAA type ratings; music video

sales are soft; and Vegas is a hell of a

place to try to win a little money.Cable TV continued this year to

fight for it's right to party. TheAcademy of Television Arts an^Sciences announced that cableprogramming would be eligible to

compete for Emmy's. Home Video

producers continued to complainabout pay-per-view cable films asXi

threat to the video rental business.

Finally, the National Cable Associa-

tion survey revealed that althoughbasic cable costs have gone u^viewers are getting more qualiêntertainment for their money. ^

This year we saw the continuing

controversy over black and white

film colorization. Hollywood direc-

tors, led by giants like Woody Allen,

testified before Congress that tlfs

process was raping and pillaging this

century's greatest works of art pu^ly for profit. However, the public, it

seems, likes to watch colorized films.

Proposed legislation protectinsg

finished films from changes has a

slim chance of approval. Oije

wonders what the people at Turner

Entertainment would do with 'Phe

Wizard of Oz - Kansas does look bet-

ter in color.
