COVER STORY
THE BALANCING ACT - (from left) Jeff Davis, Robert Blackmon, Willie Aronand Steve Wagner.
The Balancing Act"What continues to make The Balancing Act interesting to me is that
anything is possible,” says Willie Aron, guitarist for the I.R.S. recording
group, whose new album, Curtains, has just been released. The album,
the band’s third recorded effort, is one of the most welcome releases
of the season, a bracing blend of folk, pop and jazz elements that
should persuade hordes of new listeners to lend an ear and solidify the
band’s reputation as a pop force to be reckoned with.
“Curtains is more detailed than the last record,” states the band’s
Robert Blackmon. "There’s just so much interesting stuff going on that
I think people will be able to hear the album several times and still find
something new.”
The album was produced by ex-Gang of Four member Andy Gill. Thesongs included on Curtains range from satirical social commentary("Generator,” "Understanding Furniture”) to wonderfully distorted love
themes ("Between Two Oceans,” "She Doesn’t Work Here”). Thealbum’s first single, an unlikely cover of Funkadelic’s "Can You Get To
That” - with its irresistible harmonies and infectious rhythm track -
demands immediate attention from even the most skeptical listener.
Other songs, from "Sleep On The Trusty Floor” (a poetic ode to irra-
tional phobias) to the intricate melodies found on "Fishing In Your Eye,”
prove The Balancing Act to be the perfect antidote to the dross that in-
undates today’s Top 40 airwaves.
"I think we’re all finding it easier to be creative within the frameworkof the band,” explains band member Steve Wagner, "because by nowwe have a better conception of what The Balancing Act is all about -
which is four guys working towards each other’s strengths and awayfrom our weaknesses to make the best possible music.”
"I think we challenged ourselves with this album,” concludes Aron,
"and I’m glad that it will probably challenge our old fans, too.”

WTG Records Formed ByCBS; Jerry Greenberg
To Head LabelBy Lee Jeske
NEW YORK - WTG Records, a
"broad-based pop, rock and R&Bmusic label" based in Los Angeles,
has been formed by CBS Records, the
company's sixth wholly owned sub-
sidiary (with Columbia, Epic,
Portrait, CBS Associated and Master-
works). Jerry Greenberg, former
president of Atlantic Records, has
been named to head the label; he'll be
senior vice president and general
manager. According to Tommy Mot-
tola, president, CBS RecordsDivision, the label was formed to
give CBS a "stronger presence" on
the West Coast.
'There's a lot of music out here,"
Greenberg told Cash Box, "there are a
lot of clubs, it's the healthiest time
I've ever seen in the record business.
Business is great, new artists are
breaking, all facets of music are
breaking, from rap to heavy metal to
Traci Chapman. The timing for this
for CBS I believe couldn't be better
and the timing for me personally
couldn't be better."
Mottola, who says that a West
Coast label was one of his pet projects
upon joining CBS, told Cash Box: "I
think it's time to have a situation
which is a little smaller in size and
roster, where Jerry can focus on a
handful of artists, certainly in the
beginning, and build something newand special for us. I think it's a good
way to begin, to spread and build
and grow, to take a major companyand still find ways to get offshoots
while still staying part of the major
label situation."
Initial signings to the label include
West Coast r&b vocalist Michael
Rodgers, whose debut 1 Like It Like
That is due this month, L.A. rock
group Beau Nasty, and English popgroup Eighth Wonder, featuring Ab-
solute Beginners star Patsy Kensit on
vocals. Also on tap is the soundtrack
to the upcoming Arnold Schwar-
zenegger/Danny DeVito movie.
Twins.
"I think soundtracks will be one of
the things we'll be involved with
heavily," said Greenberg. 'This is
the film capital of the world, the
soundtrack business is a big busi-
ness, a very good business, and the
CBS artist roster is available to me for
soundtracks."
Signings, Greenberg stresses, will
not be limited to West Coast acts and
will not only focus on new acts.
"There will definitely be major
signings to the label," he said. "Weplan to compete with the major com-
panies on any act that's available.
We'll be very competitive in the
marketplace."
Already in place are Dave Urso as
vp of promotion; Steve Brack as na-
tional CHR director; Michael Prince
as national A&R director; and Joey
Carvello as director of danceproduct. Further staffing is expected
to be announced shortly.
Jerry Greenberg was president of
Atlantic Records from 1974-80. Hebegan his stint at Atlantic in 1967 as
assistant to Jerry Wexler, going on to
become director of creative product,
head of pop music promotion, vp of
product & operations and senior vpof operations/general manager.Some of his signings to the label in-
clude ABBA, Chic, Foreigner andGenesis.
Greenberg left Atlantic to form
Mirage Records, which signed and
started the careers of such acts as
Shannon and Whitesnake, and waspresident of United Artists Records
in 1986 and, most recently, president
of Atco Records and Custom Labels,
where his signings included J.J. Fad
and Sweet Sensation.
"I've known Jerry for about 15, 16
years," said Mottola, "way back in
the days when I was managing Hall
& Oates and he was the president of
Atlantic. I respect him as one of the
premier executive talents in the en-
tire record business and one who has
a true understanding of how the
combination of A&R and promotion
really work. That's what his whole
career is based on and, when I took
over here, that was the logical choice,
to get Jerry involved."
Mottola said that he expects
Columbia, Epic and WTG to develop
into labels with distinctive per-
sonalities.
Asked about the label's name,Greenberg said, "Actually, it stands
for West Coast Talent Group. Wewanted to try and come up with
something that had a West Coast
flavor but we had a lot of problems
trying to clear different names - Cen-tury, Pacific, Sierra, things like that.
A lot of people are laughing and as-
king, 'Does this stand for Walter,
Thomas and Gerald?'

Agenda Set For CMJ's v
Music Marathon ».
ConventionBy Brad Buchsbaum
, y
LOS ANGELES - More than 30
panel sessions (some of which will
feature live music performances)
have been set for CMJ's eighth an-
nual Music Marathon convention,
which will be held October 27-30 at
the Vista Hotel in downtown NewYork City. For the second straight
year, the convention will be focusing
on 'The Discovery and Developmentof New Artists," according to Con-vention Co-Director Joanne AbbotGreen.
Abbot Green stated that there is a
vast difference between the CMJ con-
vention and other industry conven-
tions. "Ours is an artists develop-
ment convention. Whereas several of
the other conventions don't really
have a focus. They are really more of
a general music industry convention.
Each of our panels focuses directly onthe discovery and development of ar-
tists. For instance, the 'Artist
Management' panel would discuss
the managers role in the discovery
and development of new artists."
The convention will kick off onThursday, October 27, with the an-
nual extensive all-day workshop andsymposium "College Radio: Present
and Future." The major keynotespeaker for this event has yet to be
announced.
Other panels that will take place
the four-day convention inc^uc^
"Surviving & Thriving As An I
dependent Record Label," 'The ASPanel," "College Radio & The Aih
native Marketplace," and "Ge^Started: The New Artist And*^"
Recording Process."
Also included in the convi^ntii
will be a special "Metal Marathon,'
two-day series of panels
workshops focusing on hard ro
and heavy metal music. The key^speakers for the "Metal Marath^will be Lee Abrams, from the NIui
Satellite Network and the ^ej
metal band Anthrax. ^
The convention will close;
usual, with an artists panel, whe
many up-and<oming artists, as**?’
as established artists, get a change
discuss topics ranging from hd
their careers began to politics. .>
In addition to the panel disci
sions, CMJ will also be hosting sho^
cases by more than 150 ban(
throughout the New York arsts
conjunction with the Marathon.
Registration, which includ’
entrance to all CMJ Music Marathi
events, is $95 for students and $2
for all others.

O BIG DEAL - That, of
course, is Tom Waits up
there. Tom Waits, as you're
well aware, is one of our
very best singcr/songwriters, a man' whose singular music - drawn from a
j
junkpile of pop music odds and ends -
has focused itself so brilliantly over the
ipast few year. For my money,
Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, and
Franks Wild Years (Island) arc three of
the best pop albums of the past 15
^ years. Memorable, rapier-sharp songs,
wonderfully complementary use of
music and effects, terrific delivery.
After years of faux hobo/hipster Waits
found his voice. And when Waits
toured last year, landing on Broadway
here for a week, he brought it all
together: the concert was an ex-
j
travaganza of satrical theatrics but
;
without sacrificing the music. The
1
music, which you really had to know
j
from the albums because Waits' rasp -
j
frequently filtered through a bullhorn -
I
was almost indecipherable, help up
beautifully, and the old songs that were
woven in sounded better than ever.
So w'hy was I so disappointed with
j
Big Time, the about-to-open full-length
j
concert film from the tour, and the Is-
‘ land album of the same name? The
j
concerts were well-thought-out, the
fabric of the concerts - the feeling of
"my-tongue's-in-check-but-of course-
you're all in on the joke" - was perfect.
In the movie, the concert - a very
theatrical experience - is chopped up,
unimaginatively filmed by director
Chris Blum, and riddled with stupid
interludes of Waits as silent, unnamed
characters backstage, out-front, all over
the place. It is pretentious, as preten-
tious, in its way, as Magical Mystery
Tour. The whole thing comes across as
too self-absorbed. The songs - which
should be subtitled for those unfamiliar
with the albums - are choked with
pretension. IF s not a good movie.
As for the album, it's a throwaway.
These songs have been done much,
much better on the albums from which
they are drawn - the live interpreta-
tions add nothing - and Waits sounds
too much like a caricature of himself.
Rehashes, filler, Christmas-record-bin
stuff. And, by the way, the CD has a
full 33% more music than the LP, per-
haps a pop music first (except for com-
pilations). That's right, a dozen songs
on the LP, a full 18 on the CD.

Oingo Boingo
Boingo AliveCelebrates A Decade
By Julius Robinson
LOS ANGELES - 'The discipline
for Oingo Boingo is holding back
live," says lead singer and writer
Danny Elfman. "We get carried awayand start playing so fast that we can
barely keep up with ourselves."
Over the last ten years, OingoBoingo has attracted a zealous fol-
lowing, based as much on their
records as their hyperkinetic live
shows. Around their L.A. base they
consistently sell out 6000-15,000 seat
venues and have a loyal following
across the country. Their two-and-a-
half hour concerts display a frenetic
volatility mixed wdth a punk-progressive rock energy, all
delivered with astonishing vir-
tuosity, and at a breakneck pace. Onthe band's new MCA LP, Boingo
Alive: Celebration OfA Decade, Elfman
and the band decided to record live
on a soundstage, without a lot of
overdubs.
Explains Elfman: 'We did not want
a memento of a concert. We v/anted
the energy"^ of a live performance, but
we didn't want the sound quality of
a concert album, which normally I
don't like. We set up in a circle, no one
used headphones, just monitors. Wehad a few problems getting the mushof drums out of the vocal mikes, but
it all worked out."
The album consists of 21 tracks
(nine additional on CD) of their
favorite songs from such studio al-
bums such as Only A Lad and Nothing
To Fear to later classic LPs like Dead
Man's Party. Songs include the con-
cert classics "Dead Man's Party,"
"Just Another Day" and "Private
Life." Two new, previously un-recorded tunes are also included -
"Cinderella Undercover" (the single
for Boingo Alive) and "Winning Side."
The album, which was produced byElfman and fellow bandmembersSteve Bartek and John Avila, wasrecorded at the Power Plant Rehear-
sal Studio in North Hollywood,California.
Despite Oingo Boingo's popular
live shows and the success of singles
like "Weird Science" and "DeadMan's Party," Elfman feels their
music has met with resistance at
radio, partially because early on they
didn't write about the traditional
rock & roll subjects: boy meets girl,
boy loses girl, boy drives car.
"When we started out, we wrote
about things and issues, articles in
the paper, or fantasy. It's taken me a
while to write more expressively -
things that I felt, not things that mademe angry."
Oingo Boingo evolved fromElfman's seventies theater-rock
group. The Mystic Knights Of The
Oingo Boingo, into the current band
w'ith its eight-man lineup. (Elfman,
bassist John Avila, guitarist Steve
Bartek, keyboard player Carl Graves,
drummer Johnny "Vatos" Hernan-
dez, saxaphonist Sam Phipps,baritone saxiphonist Leon Scheider-
man and horn player Dale Turner.)
"We had a mutual contempt of popmusic of the seventies era," recalls
Elfman. "I was sparked by the ska
movement out of England. I never
really liked punk music, but the ener-
gy of it was an instantaneous connec-
tion. I've always been someone with
a lot of adrenaline. I'm looking for
that hard-charging escape on stage. I
never play fast enough or get enoughenergy going. With the new bandwe'd use no theatrics whatsoever,
none of the things that incorporate
the 'big' rock & roll show. If we
Cocteau Twins and the^ ^
Glorious NothingThere are few bands as enigmatic
and influential in Great Britain today
as the Cocteau Twins. Their etheral,
otherwordly soundscapes are the
model for everything else on their
4AD record label, and without the
Cocteau Twins there might not be
such critical darlings as Hugo Largo
and Throwing Muses. Taking Brian
Eno's ambient minimalism as the
starting point, they've evolved a
sound that is as confounding as it is
primordially affective. Yet these Scot-
tish cult sensations (who are neither
twins nor Cocteaus) have shunned
the limelight for six years, touring ir-
regularly and echowing the rituals of
press and publicity.
Blue Bell Knoll, their Capitol
Records debut, is their first album in
over two years. Yet during that
period of seeming inactivity the
band's reputation has grown larger
and their influence on the Anglo-
American avant-garde has been in-
calculable. The times are right, it
seems, for an expression of pure
emotion, unmediated by linear nar-
rative or even, for that matter,
coherent lyrics. A list of song titles
from the new album conveys the im-
portance of sound and meter in the
Cocteau Twins' musical strategy:
'The Itchy Glowbo Blow," "Spoon-
ing Good Singing Gum," "Ella
Megalast Burls Forever," "A Kissed
Out Red Floatboat."
Singer Elizabeth Fraser acknow-
ledges that her lyrics are chosen ri^re^
for their sound than for their sense,,
but she suggests that something
more is going on, even though she
can't (or won't) say what it is. Shd-^^^serts that the Cocteau Twins havit[||l
sense of humor, that their music is a?full and complex as life itself and
equally open to interpretation, ^ut^
when pressed for a specific inter-
pretation or a general clue about the
tone of the band, she nervously-
laughs. In interviews Fraser is as skit-
tish as a kitten, rarely able to put hftr,
thoughts into words or to carry a sen--
tence through to its completion.
Fraser's reputation for alrno.st
pathological shyness is part ofvhe"^
band's charm and extends to t^band's live performances. Fraser is
known to squirm about or wrap
couldn't carry it with our own ener-
gy, our own faces, w'e wouldn't do it.
"When we started the band in '79
we went through a list of othernames. We w'anted to be L.A.'s unhip-
pest band. We knew the critics weregoing to hate us. We perceived rock as
it was then as tough, image-con-scious, cool, aloof, leather, dun-garees. I said 'we're going to be the
exact opposite.' Our name was ap-
propriate because it had no mean-ing."
Although Oingo Boingo's songsare structurally simple, they are
known for their precise and some-times complex arrangements. Com-ments Elfman: "If my song arrange-
ments are complicated it's not be-
cause I listen to Stravinsky as a kid. It
has more to do with my ethnic in-
fluences - Gamelon, Bulgarian folk
music and African folk music whichhas intertwining parts."
"XTC inspired me," Elfman con-
tinues. "As a singer, one of the
reasons I hate a lot ofmy early v’ocals
is that I unintentionally sounded like
Andy Partridge on my first two al-
bums. When I started listening to
rock in the late seventies, I liked the
Specials, Selector, Madness andXTC."
Recently Elfman has enjoyed t. Iccp
of success with film music, scoring a
slew of comedies, including Midni^dRun and Beetle Juice, as well as the up-1
coming features Scrooged andman. Elfman has found the
career lucrative and rewarding, but
he's not tempted to give up the lilt‘d
a rocker just yet. Nonetheless, the
benefits of film scoring are greai^r
than he at first imagined.^ ^
i
"When Tm working on a ff*aj
score, I long to get up on a concert
stage. But when I'm on a tour,H[ ^dying to get back into the clarity of a
film. On a concert stage, you'ife
repeating yourself every night. In
film, we're under no pressurd*'?^^
repeat a musical phrase ever agaiiv
There's a beauty in working on a
project night and day and finisli[in^
it. It's over, you can't touch it, you
never have to live it again." 4
With the release of Boingo Afi5e~
Elfman and company have pro\ided
a chance for their fans to live the live
show again and again. Whichprobably will suffice only until the
next opportunity to witness Oingo
Boingo on stage.

self in her own arms, periodically
breaking out of her cocoon long-^ertough to smack herself in the chest
;to the beat of the music, '^'m terrified/V
of performing," Fraser says in her
)'fing Scottish brogue. "When I

audience, it amazes me that people
have paid money to come see us."

*^ ('he band (Fraser, lead vocals;
Robin Guthrie, guitar; Simonkaymonde, bass) formed in the. a^y-'SOs aftermath of punk, and as
^^reaction against punk posturing
Fraser is careful to avoid using the
pO;^wer of the stage as a soapbox. "I
V}mi?'ik it's immoral to stand on a stage
and tell the world what you think.
IIt^s not our right." Yet true to the
ideal, they are fiercely in-
j^^Bidual. "Our deal with Capitol lets
I
us do whatever we want," says,’1 Guthrie. The band recorded the
'^al'^um at their own deliberate pace in
their home studio in London,d^uthrie says there are no plans to
iaifr in support of the album. 'TYe
m^de the album to please ourselves
and it's not important to us what. I other people think of it."
h ^ ‘‘^he Cocteau Twins' music is likely
j| to confound the casual listener, the
listener with preconcieved notions of
ir^W^hst a pop record should andt-| shouldn't be. There are no hooks or
s' j^ehoruses or repeated verses, no iden-
tillable beat. The music is all shim-
1 mering surfaces refracted light from
I different angles, with an eerie hyp-
if^cytic stillness at its center which is
I embodied in Fraser's otherworldly
Ivocalizations. But while it is evoca-
even cinematic, the music has no
td«^eper secrets to reveal. As the
British music magazine Melody
, Maker noted in praise, it is "gor-
l<^>'-Veously, sumptuously, luxuriously,
S? graphically meaningless."
f '^Even without meaning, without
nrditics, without stories to tell or
^sions to share. Blue Bell Knoll
^"sliould expand the circle of listeners
that the Cocteau Twins have cul-
•‘fh^ted over the course of six records.
And those listeners will continue to
t^eat them like gurus, emissaries
l^Tom a purified universe.
^ "It's all so strange," Fraser says of
^ adulation. "So strange."

Back To Basics With TheWagoneers
By Tom De Savia
THE WAGONELkS - (from left) Brent Wil son, Tom Lewis, Monte Warden and Craig
Pettigrew.
In the minds of many, the thought of
traditional country music is similar to
that of an extinct beast. The term
"country" is usually relegated only to
classic performers and simply as a genre
of the past. The Wagoneers want to shat-
ter those preconceptions.
The Wagoneers are a young hand
(average age: 23) who are currently
riding high on the heels of their debut
album, Stout & High (A&M), and prov-ing to audiences nationwide that country
music is alive and well.
Although they encountered someresistance at first ("There are some people
out there that almost think were like a
country 'Monkees' - that someone put us
together," drummer Tom Lewis ex-
plained), it appears that audiences are
beginning to understand the band's in-
tentions. Undoubtedly, they shocked
more then a few when their first single,
"/ Wanna Know Her Again," bulleted
into the Top 40 of the country charts.
The band is comprised of Monte War-
den on lead vocals and guitar, Brent Wil-
son on lead guitar and vocals, Craig Pet-
tigrew on bass and Tom Lewis on drums.
Recently, Cash Box spoke with the band
about their career and the state of
country & western music.
Cash Box: Do you find audiences
questioning your intentions?
Warden: "What I've noticed is that
sometimes before people hear the
music they want to know what the
'scam' is - and once they hear the
music they understand that we are
country. It was kind of hard getting
across to people that we're not look-
ing to go rock or pop, that we love
country and that's what we're going
to play."
Lewis: 'That's how out of hand it's
gotten - that we're coming out doing
just straight country and people
don't know what we're doing."
Wilson: 'They want to call us rock,
but basically what it is is just rawstripped-down country music,"
Warden: 'Teople always go 'man,
you guys are like rock & roll in-
fluence country' or 'country in-
fluenced rock & roll'. All you've got
to do is pick up a George Jones record
and that'll tell you what we're
doing..."
Pettigrew: "...playing country and
feeling it."
Cash Box: Do you feel any pressure
to cross over to the pop market?
Lewis: "We just go out there and
have a good time playing country
music. If we should cross over and
have a pop song it's not because it
was pre-arranged or anything."
Warden: "We play country &l
western music. We've been told bypeople in the industry that you can't
say C&W anymore, you can't say '&
western'. They want to call it
'country' because it sounds far morechic than 'country & western'."
Lewis: "We had to go to a pop label
to get a good country base instead of
going to a country label."
Cash Box: Do you foresee a resur-
gence of country music?
Warden: 'The timing of it has beenreal good because in spite of itself
some real country records have sold
in the last three years. I guess it
started with Ricky Scaggs andGeorge Strait. In the past monthalone Ricky Van Shelton and Patty
Loveless have become members of
the [Grand Ole] Opry - and I think
that Patty may be youngest memberof the Opry ever. My opinion is that
Nashville, in the past five years, has
begun to understand its respon-
sibility and, as a result, there is a lot
of good country music being madetoday.
"I think that the last time country
was made by and for young people it
ruled the whole block - that's whenElvis and Buddy Holly and the Ever-
ly Brothers and George Jones werejust hitting the scene - and it certain-
ly was a good thing for music. It just
seemed that country just kind of
turned fifty along with George."
Pettigrew: 'That's one thing that
ruined it for the young people, they
could relate to a lot of the subject mat-
ter. The music of Buddy Holly andElvis and the Everlys and all that -
they call it rock & roll now - really
they stem from country roots."
Warden: "'Heartbreak Hotel' was
a number one country record."
Pettigrew: "But people think of
that as too powerful to be a country
record."
Cash Box: The band's ultimate goal?
Lewis: "To be members of the
Grand Ole Opry!"Pettigrew: "If we did that I could
not play a note for the rest of my life
and 'Mil feel like I've accomplished
my greatest achievement."
Warden: "And no one would be
truer to the country tradition than wewould - maybe as true but not truer.
The Opry is my all time dream. I
want to respected by the country
audiences and the country peers and
I would like the Wagoneers to be
regarded as a band that put some-
thing nice in country music and left
it in a better state than when they
found it."
Wilson: "Keep it country, that's
our motto."

Lynne is richly textured and growsmore interesting with repeat^ lis-
tenings. It's something of a concept
album, following the life of one li'l
kid through childhood, romance andadulthood, most of it expressed in in-
digenous American musical forms -
Dixieland for the New Orleanschildhood, honest-to-god rap for the
Hollwood adulthood, and some in-
triguing blues, balladry and spunkyrock in between. The lyrics are great,
natch.
NEW AND DEVELOPINGTHE BALANCING ACTCurtains - I.R.S. (42237) - Producer:
Andy Gill
They don't want to be tagged a folk
band, and here the Balancing Act has
distanced themselves about as muchas possible from traditional folk
without losing the essence of their
sound. That sound is built around
lush harmonies, crafty and eccentric
percussion, such novel instrumenta-
tion as melodica and bongos, and ar-
rangements that creep into avant-
jazz territory. The lyrics are superb
vignettes of American life on the
margins. A uniquely rewardingalbum, one of the best of the year.

Record Firms To Meet With Petriilo
On Pian To End Recording DisputeNEW YORK - The possibility of an
early settlement in the recording band
dispute gained momentum this past week
when the major recording companies
sent a request to James C. Petriilo, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Musicians, asking for a meeting early
this week.
The decision to extend an invitation
was arrived at by top recording execu-
tives and their counsel, after a lengthy
meeting this past week.
It was reported that Mr. Petriilo was
not available to meet with the recording
companies’ request, but it is felt in these
quarters that the AFM president will ac-
cept. The meeting was tentatively called
for October 5...
It was seen this past week that the
recording companies have adopted a dis-
interested attitude concerning the
legality of the recent Petriilo proposals.
Most diskers voiced the opinion tliat it
was up to the Federal Government to
decide whether or not Mr. Petriilo ’s plan,
presented to the diskers last week, was
legal and would meet with Taft-Hartley
Law previsions...
One item in favor of passage of the
Petriilo plan was that of the rumored
revamping of the Taft-Hartley Law.
Trade reports have it that those in the
Washington circle hint change in the
labor law are imminent, not only because
of the prolonged recording dispute, but
because of other labor problems that
have arisen. Reliable sources state that
the disk ban is one of the foremost
reasons for the reported changes in the
Taft-Hartley Law.

HOLLYWOOD - Dean Martin and
Jerry Lewis have just been signed to an
exclusive Capitol Records recording
contract, it was officially announced last
week by James B. Conkling, Capitol
Vice-President in charge of repertoire.
Martin and Lewis have had a most sen-
sational rise to fame of any comedy team
in many years and have built an en-
thusiastic following thru-out the country
through the record breaking engagement
at the Copacabana in New York and their
recently completed smash run ar Slapsy
Maxie’s in Hollywood.
Capitol regards the signing of these ar-
tists as a major accomplishment, par-
ticularly in view of the competition for
the team which has taken place among all
top recording fums for the past several
months.
Conkling also stated that the record to
be released will combine the duo’s great

Report RCA-Victor Set With
Own “Long-Play” DiskNEW YORK - RCA-Victor was
reported set with its own “Long Play
Recording” plan it was learned here this
past week. Altho details of the plan have
not been revealed it was rumored that
RCA Victor will issue a statement very
shortly.
It will be remembered that Victor at
one time had a long play recording but
dropped it. Trade sages believe that the
most opportune time is now at hand for
Victor to release its own innovation in the
long playing field.
Reports on Columbia Records Long
Play program have it that the company is
steadily increasing its sales potency in
this field. Extensive advertising and
promotion has been seen by the Philco
Mfg. Corp., manufacturers of the long
playing 33-1/3 turntable. ColumbiaRecords themselves were supposed to be
planning a campaign in this field.

Lenny Williams ReleasesDebut For Crush Records
Lenny Williams
LOS ANGELES - From his early
days as lead vocalist for Tower of
Power, through his hit solo LPs, to his
electrifying performance on KennyG.'s 1987 smash, 'TDon't Make MeWait For Love," singer Lenny Wil-
liams has been making a habit of
giv'ing his all. "I believe in casting mybread across the waters," he says
with a smile. Now, with the release of
his debut Crush Records single
"Giving Up On Love," it looks like
some of that bread may just be com-ing back to him.
Written by Bobby Caldwell andproduced by Bill Pfordresher,"Giving Up On Love" is one of those
silky uptempo Urban ballads Lennypulls off with such impeccable style.
With a full-scale album now in the
works, the release of the single marksa new approach in Lenny's career.
Equally versed in songwriting,
producing and playing, as well as
singing, he's always been renownedas a total music artist. This time out
his intentions are clear: Lenny Wil-
liams is a singer first and foremost.
and his objective is nothing less than
the top of the singles charts.
Success doesn't come cheap. It
takes hard work and in-depthknowledge of the business to sustain
a career. Williams has never beencomplacent. 'T'm still progressing,"
he says. "C>ther singers might think
after a certain point, 'Well I'v'e goneas far as I can go as a singer.' Not me.I'm still growing." That is why Wil-
liams has rededicated himself to that
outsized talent of his. "My total em-phasis will be on that vehicle that got
me here today: singing."
New ideas are the lifeblood of anycreative person, and for Lenny Wil-
liams, there's never a short supply.
"I'm a lot freer than I used to be,"
says the singer, "and less structured
in my approach. Tm willing to take
more chances." That's quite apparentin William's bold version of "GivingUp On Love." A singer's singer
paired with a world-class song: con-
sidering the limitless talent of LennyWilliams, the possibilities are end-
less.

COUNTRY
Cash Box Goes To TheGrass Roots" Of Country
iRadio To Find The "Real"- ? Records For Labels!
you have been watching the
\a^onal country charts in the
lllpor trade publications for the
four months and, if you havee^ completely honest in your'linking, you are probably/^ndering "who's reflecting
v^ho, now?" Before that time,
Ifre was no question that Cash
kjx was a mere reflection of the
ither trade publications' charts.
were first to admit that fact,
iowever, things are rapidly
hanging!
^•^ecause we chose not to be a
"Xi^flection," we made a cor-
porate decision a few monthsigif', to give those radio stations
eporting to another trade publi-
:adon the choice of being a Cash
^tT'ie^'^reporter only, or remaining
vith another trade. We werelet^rmined to create our very
iwh panel in order to eliminate
he reflective appearance of our
irirts. We lost some old andlear friends and associatesVnrough the transition, but very
of them failed to understand
I reasoning behind ourlecision.
' t^iir panel of reporting stations
Iropped from 160 to 112 through
j^lmination. It doesn't take a
g^ius to figure the percentage of
Pl^tions we had reporting to, at
ea'St, one other trade publication.
Ucvvly and carefully, we have
ebuilt our panel to near the
iP^ginal number, and we are
l^adily increasing that numbergward our final goal. It's work-
ngV And, we have added someexcellent stations along the way.
^Ifi adding the stations to form
^ r exclusive Cash Box panel,
Vii^p ultimately determine our
buhtry chart, other important
fedsions were formulated. Cash
iox decided to reach into the
’grass roots" of country music to
letermine which records, out
here, are the real records! WeeVfainly don't need those radio
nations which are programmedconsulted. We have very few
'hich play less than 50 records
n their playlists. We want those
stations determining their ownplaylists; those giving their lis-
teners a chance to give "input"
through phones and requests;
those who know which records,
out there in America, are new and"hot"!
We do not deny the fact that
major market radio stations are
important. Make no mistake
about that. Wo have made every
attempt to keep a representative
amount of those reporters on our
panel. In fact, we have spread the
market sizes as evenly as possible
throughout our panel. However,we do not feel that those markets,
for country music, arc any moreimportant than the small markets
across the nation! National loca-
tions, in relation to pin-pointing
the "hot bed" areas for country
music have all been considered.
And, most importantly, all this
work and thought has beendirected toward the bottom line
in this business...sales!
You see, with the securement of
each station. Cash Box has built a
list of retail markets in eachcoverage area; the "mom andpop" stores, the "one-stops",
etc... And because Cash Box still
talks with radio (disc jockeys,
music and/or program directors)
each week, we are able to deter-
mine the new, "hot" records onthe market and the market need-
ing a supply of those records
from the record label companies!
In fact, things have turnedaround to the point where other
trade publications have beenrecruiting Cash Box stations
recently. In no way are we trying
to be detrimental to the other
trade publications. We respect
their endeavors and, truly, read
them regularly. But, Cash Box has
rediscovered a way to help in
"breaking" a new and talented
act onto the national scene in this
highly competitive business!
From the positive feedback we'vebeen getting, we are certain that
our answers lie out there in the
"grass roots" of country music!

SINGLE RELEASES
THE BELLAMY BROTHERS - Rebels
Without A Clue - MCA/Curb (42224) -
Producers: J. Bowen-J. StroudThe Bellamy Brothers, now known for their
melodic commentaries on life as it was, andlife as it is now, have released an album ofsuchmaterial. Sometimes it almost seems as
though they'd rather be stuck in an everlast-
ing time warp. Yes, the 60's were great, but weall have to grow up and, at some point, be-
come a part of The Establishment. Respon-
sibilities have their pitfalls, but they have their
perks too, and the Bellamy's show this can be
true with cuts Uke "Stayin' In Love" and "Get
Your Priorities In Line". Nostalgic top cuts in-
cluded "The Andy Griffith Show", "WhenThe Music Meant Everything" and first single
as well as title cut, "Rebels Without A Clue".
BARBARA MANDRELL - I'll Be Your
Jukebox Tonight - Capitol (Cl-90416) -
Producer: T. CoIIins-F. Foster
One of the busiest ladies in country musichas taken time out to make one heck of a
country album, (and we did say country!). Cutafter cut dispells the myth that MandreUmight be trying to 'pop'-ularize her sound.
This project displays some ferocious down-home pickin' and singin'. Kicking off with the
title cut, one that juke box joints won't be able
to play enough of, MandreU promises to vo-
calize some songs sure to become newfavorites. Best cuts: 'Tf We Fall, We Will Fly",
"My Train Of Thought", "Big Big Love" andfirst single release "I Wish That I Could FaU In
Love Today".
OUT OF THE BOXSTEVE VVARINER - Hold On (A
Little Longer) (3:08) - MCA (53419)
- Steve Wariner/BMI - S. Wariner-
R. Hart - Producers: J. Bovt'en-S.
WarmerWariner pulls this heartfelt ballad
from the LP 1 Should Be With You,
which asks his girl to "hold on a lit-
tle longer" while the)/re separated
from one another. The song carries
a tropical flavor, spiced by the
sound of pedal steel and a beautiful
solo guitar introduction. Wariner's
last hit, the title cut from his album,checked in at #1 on the singles chart,
and this product has a good chanceto follow it there as well. Dreamy
production paves the w'ay for the
adept instrumentalists andWariner's sincere vocals.
INDIE SPOTLIGHTFRANK BURGESS - AmericanMan (2:52) - True (TU94-A) -
Tree/BMLCross Keys/ASCAP - B.
Braddock-D. Henry - Producers:
D. Burgess
Weaving a tale about growing upin the heartland of the U.S., Burgess
convincingly relays bits and pieces
of the life of an American man.With country/rock instrumenta-
tion and a well-produced product,
we see no reason why Burgess isn't
ready to play ball in the majorleagues. Perhaps a new leader of the
Hank, Jr. generation, Burgess seemsto have the goods to make it amongthe working class folks especially.
Energetic vocals highlight a man
who is not afraid to speak his
and tell it like it is. Let's hear
more!

FEATURE PICKSEDDIE RABBITT - We Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right (3:35) - RCA (8716-7-R) -
Eddie Rabbit-Englishtown/BMI - E. Rabbitt-R. Nielsen - Producer: R. LandisTwo kids married right out of high school, who weather the bad times to relish in
the good times, become the theme of this uptempo tune from Rabbitt. Fifti«j-in-
spired vocals punctuate a optomistic song about what happens when p>eople put a
lot of hard work into their marriage.
RICKY SKAGGS - Old Kind Of Love (3:29) - Epic (34-08063) - Scarlet Moon/BMI- P. Overstreet - Producer R. Skaggs
This Overstreet-penned tune heralds the second coming of an age where hus-bands and wives are faithful to each other and the 'old-time' values have returned.
Although the lyrics allude to the fact that aU of this was brought on by AIDS, the
deadly virus is never given credit for this newfound morality. Minor chord progres-
sions make for an interesting melody line and Skaggs' vocals are up to par.
MEL McDaniel - Henrietta (2:32) - Capitol (B-44244) - Eight-O-Five-Millhouse-Of Music/ASCAP-BMI - Grissom-Kennedy-Fagan - Producer: J. Kennedy
Sounding a bit Like the Oak Ridge Boys' "Elvira", McDaniel captures the true es-
sence of what home-towTT girls are all about - true love and committment. And al-
though he's traveled the world looking for a more exciting lifestyle, he is alwayslured back to what he had to begin with - Henrietta!
INDIE FEATURE PICKS BTHE BEARDS - Fearless Heart (3:10) - Beardo (BR-002) - Gold Line/ASCAPEarle - Producer; B. Can-
Brothers Randy And Ronnie Beard combine talents here to perform a Steve Earl'S*
penned tune - and perform it superbly! The boys from Indiana sing about what it^
takes to mend a broken heart in a well-paced, powerful manner. A good bet for hea'^y*j
airplay. -'i
ROGER GORE - Too Far Apart (2:44) - A.M.I. (A.M.I. 1329 AA) - SilvtrS
Dust/ASCAP - B. Cleghom-D. Nightingale - Producen M.R. RadfordGore gives us some traditional country crooning with a ballad about falling oi!t/
j
of love. The fiddle, pedal steel and Gore's fine tenor voice combine beautifully,
r^ulting in a product ready-made for radio.[
RICH CHANEY - My He^t Played Out (3:04) - A.M.I. (A.M.I. 1953 AA) - Roaa i
Company/BMI - R. Chaney - Producer: M.R. Radford ^With a catchy chorus, Chaney should reel in listeners hook, line and sinker on thisJ
latest tune. Although he sings about being disappointed in love, his cheery vocsl-s"
portray a man who is ready to get back on his feet and try, try again! I

Mdoments after this picture was taken in Pittsburgh, one of Eddie Rabbitt's ardent young fans
fulled him into the audience where it was bedlam as some of the girls tried to grab a souvenir of
'hti shirt or a lock of his hair. Eddie Rabbitt's "comeback tour" has played before some of the
Iw-'^st crowds in his career. According to Eddie’s Hare Trigger Band, "The girl quotient is
definitely up!”

NASHVILLE NOTE-ABLES
The Prettiest Lace OnThe Market!
Working hard to for-
get a tragic accident
that killed a bandmember, singer
Bobbi Lace is preparing to
resume her career with the
release of a new single and the
completion of an album.
Lace, winner of a recent Cash
Box award as 'Top Independent
Female Vocalist", has spent the
last several weeks recuperating
from injuries sustained in an
auto crash that killed bassplayer, Mark Ellis, as the twowere leaving a performance in
her native East Tennessee.
Now that her recovery is com-plete, the 615 Records artist is
planning to forge ahead with
her career, first by releasing a
new single entitled Tt's GonnaBe Love", which is a duet with
former Exile member MarkGray. The two scored sig-
nificant chart and radio success
earlier this year with another
duet entitled "Song In MyHeart".
"It was a whole lot of fun,'
Lace remarked of her recording
sessions with Gray, who also co-
produced the two singles.
"Mark's a real perfectionist andit was a lot of work, but he's cer-
tainly good company to be in
when you're in the recording
studio."
Lace, who has twice beennominated for the Academy of
Country Music's "Top NewFemale Vocalist" award,described the new duet as being
"more uptempo" than its
predecessor. "I feel like it's a
very good song," she said.
"Everybody seems to like it bet-
ter than the last duet, and ever-
body seems to think it has morecommercial potential."
Following the release of the
single. Lace is planning to
return to the recording studio to
finish work on her forthcoming
album. "We only have five
more songs to complete andthat's our top priority as soon as
the new single is released.
We're very anxious to get the
album out as soon as we can,"
she said.
With a long string of national-
ly charted singles to her credit,
among them such releases as
'The Real Woman In Me," "Skin
Deep" and "Somebody's Baby,"
Lace has experienced con-siderable success since launch-
ing her professional singing
career only a few short years
ago. One area in which she's be-
come particularly proficient is
in selecting material from the
stacks of demo tapes she
receives regularly. "Basically, I
listen and see if a particular song
affects me," she said. "I either
have sort of a dead feeling
towards the song, or else, it real-
ly excites me, and that's what I
generally go by...just my reac-
tion to the song itself."
One of the most commonproblems she encounters in
selecting material is the ap-
parent shortage of songs being
written from a woman's point of
view. "Obviously that's not as
big a problem as it once was, but
it's something you still run into
from time to time," she said. "Alot of the things people send meare written by men, and quite
often they just don't fit. At least
that seems to be the case with
me."
Following a series of media
appearances in support of the
new single and completion of
the LP, Lace is slated to return to
live performing with appearan-
ces already scheduledthroughout Tennessee, South
Carolina, Georgia and Horida.

COUNTRYRISING STARS
SYLVA:The only family band in the
United Kingdom was in Nashville,
recently, recording a session whichwill produce two singles which will
be released in the U.S., Europe, andCanada. Sylva and her Silver Dol-
lar Band had some time to drop bythe Cash Box office and fill us in ontheir background.
Sylva said, 'T)ad was in a country
band with his family. I grew upwith country music, and 1 took over
where he left off. We perform a lot
on the road in England. We play an
average of four nights each week.
This is our first trip to the States, andit has been a wonderfully exciting
experience for all of us!"
Sylva is from Birmingham,England. Her manager and bass
player is Len Jinks, who also hap-pens to be Sylva's husband.Together, they describe their style of
music as "countrv with a bit-o'-
bite".
Len continued, "Our roots are
traditional country, but we have oureye on the future. Sylva has alwaysbeen a Patsy Cline fan and, now, she
enjoys the music of k.d. lang so
much. Strong, dynamic vocals are
very impressive to Sylva."
Popular and talented Nashville

was impressed. "The musicians and

member. With clean, uplifting lyrics
I the group has vowed not to performoffensive material and their goals

been fronting the band for only nine
months, but her front work has
catapulted the band into national
prominence in the U.K. ... to win-ning five Band of the Year awardsfrom clubs around the country, andsecond only to the popular U.S.
country band. The Moody Brothers,
at the famous Nashville CountryMusic Club in St. Albans!"
The two singles to be released in
the U.S. are "Making MountainsOut of Mole Hills", and "W^arm Like

RAPPIN’ WITH THE WRITERS:CHRIS WATERS:
It's no secret, here in Nashville, that Chris Waters is the brother of highly successful country recording star Holly Dunn.
Neither is it a secret that Chris, in his chosen field of endeavor, is every bit as successful as his beautiful and talented sister!
Chris and Holly grew up in a musical family in San Antonio. Texas. They performed at church and community functions
regularly. However, Chris' main interest began to lean toward writing, more than performing, when he was a teenager. Al-
though he paid a lot of his own way through college by playing music, he was studying creative writing. After undergradute
school, he was awarded a fellowship to pursue his studies at the University of Liverpool in Enigand. He completed his de-
gree at the University of Denver and determined he would work in a commercial writing field, rather than a curricular environ-
ment.He came to Nashville in 1976, and spent his first year at odd jobs inside the music industry. “It's a good way to get an
education," Chris quipped. “You can get a lot of information and insight about/for the song rnarket. I also wrote about 80
songs before I got my first one recorded. After all that background of studies, I learned that my education was only begin-
ning!“T have no trouble balancing the fact I was in a serious mode of writing and, now, I'm writing country music. The greatest
accomplishment I can imagine is writing something which communicates with everyone from the manual laborers to the
Ph.D.
“To me, 'commercial' means that it will communicate with a large portion of the people. So, yes, I consider the
'commercial' value of my songs. That feeling never fails to apply. 1 think the most important thing is to write from an honest
emotion. Write what matters to you. Almost any subject can be written about, if it's done tastefully."
Chris' first hit was “Sexy Eyes" by Dr. Hook. It was a gold single and #1 all over the world. He co-wrote that one with
Keith Stegall and Rob Mather. Since then, such artists as Reba McEntire, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, The Oak Ridge
Boys, Ronnie McDowell, Juice Newton, Eddy Raven and Tanya Tucker have recorded his songs. And, of course, we mustnot leave out Holly Dunn!

Indie GrooveANG ACTIVITIESREPORT - NationalPeople’s Gang, a very
hip and hipnotic combofjiom somewhere in the suburbs, is
Tinging its way to Toronto as one of
American bands who will
represent the U.S. in theA ^ternational Festival of
Ifndependent Music, a convention of
j*^lternative-music types, sponsored
.by our friends at Molson beer. A
Wbfal of 125 bands from around the
^orld will perform at the
‘
I
convention, which styles itself after
^„|^ie now-overgrown New Music' Seminar in New York. The other
^American bands are Electric LoveMuffin from Philadelphia, Kroll
I
i.'om Boston, Smegma fromI^IVortland, Ore., and the Other Kids.' from Madison, Wise. The underdog
NPG was chosen to represent L.A.
after laying down the law in a battle
of the bands at Bogart’s in LongBeach. The secret of their success,
.-insiders say, is a performance-art
vocal style and the dy-no-mite•.t>iythm section led by bassist
^'Chuck Morris. And talk about timing
- the band has a new album. TheHard Swing, coming out this week^6n Dr. Dream Records. Worlddominationcorner.

IHEY, WHAT’S THE DEAL? -
,~T‘his is starting to tick me off. Wire,
the pioneering post-punk Brits
^ho’ve been bending minds andsubverting expectations for more^an ten years now, were recently
denied a visa to perform in this
'<^country. This kind of treatment, in
^>i;';cordance vyith new Immigration
/f ^Department regulations, is usually
? fieserved for little-known foreign
entertainers whose services might
^'deprive American musicians of a
/ needed gig. Yet Wire has been to
'^the U.S. many times (as recently as
*p,^tnis summer) and has a legion of
f I fans who wouldn’t simply go see an
; 4 American band as a reasonable
substitute. The same thing hap-
pened to the Sugarcubes earlier
this year, as well as to countless
other bands who are caught up in
1
Reagan-era red-tape while their
fans across the country wait outside
the club with tickets in hand. Write
your congressman! And while your
at it, buy Wire’s new album on Enig-
ma or singer Colin Newman’s newsolo record on Restless instead of
the latest Bon Jovi platter. That’ll
teach ’em!
CHILD STAR MAKES GOOD -
You might know him aS CousinOliver from The Brady Bunch or JedBaxter’s adopted son in The MaryTyler Moore Show, but his real
name is Robbie Rist, the tiny JohnDenver look-alike who pretty muchowned the American airwaves in
the early ’70s. For at least ten years
now Robbie has been playing his
brand of power-pop music in the
L.A.- clubs, and finally he has an
album that documents has love for
the classic hook. With Cleveland
semi-legend Paul Pope (formerly of
Molkie Cole), Rist co-anchors Paul
Pope, Robbie Rist and the Towerof Light Beer Rhythm Section,
whose debut album on BurbankRecords is called Here. It’s a slight-
ly rewed-up version of what the
Knack or the Raspberries used to
do. (Rist has an autographed photo
of Eric Carmen on his living roomwail!)
ARE YOU LISTENING? - Ad-mirably eclectic ROM Records is
readying All-Ears Review, Volume
4, for release this week. Like all of
the All-Ears compilations, this oneculls interesting material from a
wide variety of adventurous indie
performers in blues, jazz, rock, reg-
gae and folk music. Among those
represented on this installment are
such alternative rock bands as the
Bonedaddys, the Cucumbersand Poi Dog Pondering, reggaepioneer loe Higgs, and saxmanBig Jay McNeely.
ELY’S COMIN’ - Joe Ely, the Texasroots rockerand longtime favorite of the
critics, has a new album on HightoneRecords, Dig All Night. His first effort onHightone, Lord of the Highway, was the
biggest seller in that label’s history.

Diabetes Association Will
Honor Bert PadellNEW YORK - The American
Diabetes Association of New York
will honor celebrity businessmanager Bert Padell with its 1988Humanitarian Award at a dinner
dance at the Pierre Hotel on Friday,
Nov. 4, 1 988. Co-chairs of the dinner
are Mr. and Mrs. Art Kass. Art Kass is
the president of Sutra Records.
Bert Padell, a senior partner at
Padell, Nadell, Fine, Weinberger and
Company. He is business managerfor such superstars as Robert De-
Niro, Faye Dunaway, Peter Max,
Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Jackie
Mason and many, many more. He will
be recognized for his numerousphilosophical endeavors and con-
tributions to the New York com-munity.
Padell, a New York Yankees bat
boy at age 15, has travelled a very
unlikely road from the baseball club-
house to his present reputation as
business manager and tax consult-
ant to the widest range of per-
sonalities ever assembled in one of-
fice. A spokesperson for the Diabeta.'
Association said that "his profes-
sional work is marked by an underly-
ing theme of love and commitment to
all kinds of people.” One of Padell’s
superstar clients, speaking on behalf
of many others, said, “Bert is the
most concerned and caring man wehave ever met. He absolutely loves
us as if we were his family. He gives
us all that the brother or sister wedidn’t have would have given. Heworries more than all our mothers.
He prays and cries with you. Hedevotes his life to you.”
Vice chairmen of the dinner are
James H. Buck, Jr., first vice presi-
dent of Republic National bank, andRichard L. Gelb, chairmen and chief
executive officer of Bristol MeyersCo.
The event aims to raise funds for
the New York Diabetes Association’s
service and education programs andCamp NYDA for diabetic children, as
well as important medical research
aimed at seeking a better under-
standing of diabetes - andevenmtually a preventitive and a
cure. Nationally the AmericanDiabetes Association issued over $6million in research funds last year.
The American Diabetes Associa-
tion and its affiliates in all 50 states
offer suppport and information to
help people cope with diabetes. For

Rykodisc Debuts SpeedoLabel
SALEM, MA. - Rykodisc USA has
announced the creation of a sub-
sidiary label, Speedo Records, for
the relase of analogue equivalents of
a few selected CD titles from the
Rykodisc catalog. All titles released
on Speedo will carry a $7.98 list
price. The label’s debut release is
Bones and Flowers by the Scream-ing Tribesmen, which is already
generating strong sales in the alter-
native rock market.
The Speedo label differs from the
recently announced Ryko Analogueline, which features CDQ (CDQuality) records and cassettes carry-
ing a $10.98 list. The Speedoreleases will utilize standard industry
packaging and materials, rather than
than the audiophile standards fea-
tured with Ryko Analogue.
"This is by no means a budget line
- it is simply standard-quality, as op-
posed to the premium quality of RykoAnalogue,” said Rykodisc vice presi-
dent of distribution Robert Simonds."We are putting it out at a dollar less
than a majority of front-line LP/cas-
sette product to give us an edge with
consumers.”The Speedo label represents
another step for the formerly CD-only
Rykodisc into the mainstreammarket. It will only be activated on
certain artist-development projects
and other releases that the label feels
will be aided by the availability of a
standard-quality version at a com-petitive price. "We are responding tc
heavy distributor, dealer and con-
sumer demand in debuting Speedo,”Simonds added. “This move is com-pletely in sync with the reasonRykodisc was originally founded - to
make as much good music available
to as wide an audience as possible.”

WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE - Yes, it’s the Edge, down-to-earth guitar hero of
speaking face to face with John Lee Hooker, self-described outlaw of love and the neat
who practically invented the blues-rock guitar style that is so beloved by musicaplagiarists everywhere. The scene is backstage at the recent San Francisco Bluei
Festival. The 72-year-old Hooker was overhead to say, "I dig your chapeau, Edge."
Later in the day, organizers tried to coax Mr. Edge onstage for a few bars of "Fogoy
Mountain Breakdown,” but he declined on religious grounds and was promptly thrown
out of the joint.
ODETTA - Christmas Spirituals -Alcazar
Since the last day of summer is
traditionally the first day of theChristmas season, the time is right
for the new Odetta album, ChristmasSprituals. Refreshingly, this is not the
same ol’ Yuletide pablum you seepeddled on late-night t.v. every eve-
‘ ' A L,.
ning from August to December, btf
rather a collection of ChristmjlLj^
songs with a foundation in Southferr
gospel. In its way it documentscycle of suffering, redemption and},?)
that is central to the black experietjc€
in America and the place that Chris
tianity has within that cycle.
Christ who is worshipped here is^the fuzzy blue-eyed Christ of midt'is
American fanatsy, but an earthy
compassionate and profourtdl^
“ethnic” Christ. The music, in turn, ii

Rowe's 'LaserStar' CDJukeboxAROUND THE ROU
With the JAMMAshow getting un-derway in Japanand Rowe distribs
hosting regional showings of
the new Star Series jukeboxes all
over the country, not to mention
that AMOA Expo '88 is just
around the comer, this is a very
hectic, exciting period in coin-
biz!
On the road. Rowe execs Joel
Friedman and Jerry Gordon(along with other key membersof the team) have been wearin'
their travelin' shoes and makingas many appearances as pos-
sible at the various distrib show-ings that have been in progress
since the introduction of the
new Rowe jukeboxes in mid-
September. And, as Joel tells us,
operator response to the newmachines has been "stupen-
dous!" In next week's issue
we'll elaborate on the fantastic
tie-in promotion Rowe initiated
with a number of major record
labels, in conjunction with their
new "LaserStar" CD juke — so
keep tuned.
A runaway hit! Since ship-
ments began, about three weeks
ago, orders for SNK's 'T.O.W."
game have been pouring in
much to the delight of prexy
Paul Jacobs, who anticipates a
"tremendous mn" and expects
shipments of 'T.O.W." to exceed
those of any other dedicated
game released in 1988! "This
game will not bo released in
Japan until about the first weekof November," he told us, em-phasizing that "we are protect-
ing the American buyers. Thedemand in the U.S. is so great
that we might not even bo able
to get any boards out to the
European market until the end
of November." As to SNK'splans for AMOA Expo, they'll
be occupying about three times
the space they had last year, will
be showing "RO.W.," of course
and, possibly, a "surprise" or
two! Getting back to "P.O.W.,"
Paul said that Dynamo (who's
building the games) has been
responding very well to the
demand for "cranking up"production, so that current or-
ders can be filled.

today's laser sound in a machine that
plays both 45s and compact discs.
"RoweStar," the traditional
jukebox with modern design, plays
up to 200 vinyl 45 selections through
a dual-channel, three-way speaker
system. A rotating ball in a mirrored
enclosure highlights the top of the
machine. All features are brightly lit
for easy readability.

Another attraction of the LaserStar
is the brightly lit animation device at
the top of the machine, featuring
three rotating CDs in an eye-catch-
ing, reflective enclosure. In the "at-
tract mode," the alpha-numericselection panel displays the message
"Play the Music."
Engineered for top quality CDsound, the three-way system in-
cludes two 10" woofers, two 6" mid-
range and two 3" tweeters. Dualchannel speakers are concealed be-
hind perforated grille areas on the

Arachnid Releases 'Super6 Plus'
^CHICAGO - Arachnid, Inc., the
manufacturer of English Mark Darts
for over 13 years, announced the in-
troduction of the "Super 6 Plus"
model, which has all the features of
the Super 6 and the Super 6 Plus kit,
along with two new features.
The Super 6 Plus includes the new"Coin Credit Card" (tm) with special
hardware built into the game that al-
lows operators to choose and change
the number of credits per coin or the
number of coins per credit. In other
words, the operator is able to raise
and lower the price of a game when-ever desired by the mere flip of a
switch.
This new Card opens up newavenues of "highly profitable promo-tions for operators" by lowering the
cost of 2 games for a quarter or fifty
cent cricket games for short periods
of time, such as "happy hours" or
during special tournaments, as noted
by Bernie Powers, Arachnid's direc-
tor of marketing and sales. It also
enables the game to remain
profitable through inflationary tii^ie
and in areas of the country where th
cost of living is higher, "and a qum'te
just isn't worth what it used to be,
by raising the number of quarter
needed per credit, he furiiir-Q
stressed. ^The Super 6 Plus also introdi^c^
"Cricket 200" (tm), an updated an(
now standard version of the gamec/all English Mark Darts machines
Players are limited to scoring
points over their opponents. Cr^.'Ve
200 forces players to close numb^5 piquicker, resulting in shorter gawel
more games and increased profit fo
operators. - "
The Super 6 Plus includes the Ti
Tac Darts and Horse games and ^1
the games that are standard ore
Super 6, as well as the Arachnid Wei

Big Rise In SeeburgShipments
17 . CHICAGO - Seeburg's July and'^Cgust shipments, the first two
Imonths of the company's fiscal year,
Y»fn^reased an impressive 56% over the
san e period last year.
^Considered normally "soft"
months in music equipment sales,
eburg's recent S30 million
'se/purchase program coupled
with "two solid years of revenue-
^.p’^V-ducing performance" has been
rhe main reasons for the increased
^;.d*°mand, according to Seeburg Presi-
,,dert Nick Hindman. "Operators, in-
tjMjjf'ested in better profits and updat-
their equipment, are now turning
to*our lease plan," he noted.
addition, Seeburg will double
^ the monthly production of its all-CD
'^Classic" jukebox model this fall.
j^ij^Cupently, the Classic has a six to
" if
eight week shipment backlog,"Hindman said. "It's a nice problem
for Seeburg, but it certainly doesn't
help an operator's immediateneeds," he added.
By AMOA time, Seeburg will
release its second "Hot Hits" disc.
'Trussing 15 of the top 50 chart hits
on a single CD has been veryprofitable for the operator," as
Hindman pointed out. Seeburg in-
tends to continue to press this format
on a regular basis, and also plans to
release a top "Jukebox Hits" format
on CD, consisting of about 20 to 25
songs per disc.

Atari's 'Cyberball'CHICAGO - "Cyberball," the
latest video game from Atari GamesCorp., offers interactive two-screen
action for up to four players, and is
based on a futuristic interpretation of
football in the 21st Century.
Here's the scenario. The year is
2022. ..and the last human has been
eliminated from the game, so that
now only robots five times the size of
humans can withstand the violence
and destruction. Cyberball captures
hard hitting, action packed football,
packaged in a format for today's
demanding player, and is "truly one
of the most innovative and competi-
tive sports games ever designed," ac-
cording to Jerry Momoda, product
manager at Atari Games.As to the play action, one to four
players can participate, competitive-
ly, as a team, or against the computer
and there's a new auto-challenge fea-
ture that pits players head-to-head
for oven more fun. The Atari stand-
ard buy-in anytime feature allows
new players and team mates to enter
the action at any time. Bonus playing
time is awarded for each additional
player and there's even a sudden
death period to settle the games.
Two interactive screens allow each
team to view and play the game from
their perspective. Simple controls, an
eight way joystick and button put
players in control of the Cyberball
team of their choice. Players can
select from more than 100 offensive
and defensive plays. There's even the
chance to take time-outs and replace
weak or demolished players.
Players select from six different
teams, such as the Los Angeles As-
sassins or the New York Enforcers,
among others. Game play is basic
football, but with some entertaining
new additions.
Included with every game is a free
Cyberball Tournament Package,complete with the necessary items to
conduct a competitive Cyberball
Tournament and crown a champion.

tained through Atari distributors or
