Disks Eye Oscar AwardsFor New Golden Sales

By MIKE GROSS

NEW YORK - With theAcademy Award ceremoniesonly a week away (April 13),the record companies are againstirring to the motion picturebeat. In the past few years theOscar season has raised diskcompany hopes for gold rec-ord crops and, in the past twoseasons, Columbia has walkedaway with the Oscar tie-up byscoring with Andy Williams'albums of "Moon River" and"Days of Wine and Roses."Both LP's received gold recordawards.

With Broadway ablaze on thedisk scene and new originalBroadway cast albums movinginto best selling position on thecharts with an impact un-matched since the days of "MyFair Lady," the labels are againlooking to Hollywood sound-track sources in hopes that newimpetus for the record marketcan again be added in that di-rection. They're on theAcademy Awards hoop -la tobuild new consumer interest.

Columbia's "Lady"Columbia Records, which will

release the soundtrack albumof "My Fair Lady" in the fall,is already gearing for nextseason's Oscar tie-ins. This weekit released two soundtrackscores, "The Fall of the RomanEmpire" and the track from thedocumentary "Point of Order."Goddard Lieberson, presidentof Columbia Records, also signed

a pact this week with SamuelGoldwyn Jr. to release thescore of "The Young Lovers."The score for the film, whichstars Peter Fonda, Sharon Hug-ueny and Nick Adams, waswritten by Sol Kaplan. Inci-dentally, it was only a fewmonths ago that Lieberson pre-sented Samuel Goldwyn Sr.with a gold record for thesoundtrack of "Porgy and Bess."

Another new Columbia LPfrom the films is the NewChristy Minstrels' "Today,"which features tunes from the

MGM pic "Advance to theRear." Also in the Columbiaorbit is "Lilies of the Field,"which is being released on EpicRecords, Columbia's subsidiarylabel. "Lilies of the Field," inci-dentally, is an Academy Awardcontender in the "Best Picture"category this year.

Victor RidingRCA Victor, currently riding

the charts with Henry Man-cini's "Charade," is now readyto roll with Mancini's latestpic effort, "The Pink Panther."

RCA Victor's Overseas P.A. DriveNEW YORK-The technique

of using personal appearancesto promote an artist's recordsales on an international levelis now being developed in-tensively by RCA Victor. Fromthe standpoint of the label, thatis the raison d'etre behind theCentral European tour of ChetAtkins, Jim Reeves, Anita Kerr,and Bobby Bare, all of whomembarked via Lufthansa Thurs-day (2) on a 12 -city tour ofEurope. Another notable aspectof the tour is that it showcasesNashville as a talent and musiccenter of international impor-tance-with regard to pop aswell as country music.

RECORD PREVIEW DEBUT:

Although the tour is beingpromoted by European impre-sario Karl Buchmann, it is nosecret that RCA Victor has donea lot of planning behind thescenes and has been workingon finalizing this package forabout a year. Key executivesin blueprinting overseas toursfor RCA Victor talent have beenDario Soria, vice-president, in-ternational liaison department,and R. L. Broderick, interna-tional merchandising manager.They have maintained close con-tact with Steve Sholes, divisionvice-president, pop a.&r. andBen Rosner, manager, pop a.&r.in plotting the potential ofartists' disk sales around theworld.

Victors to EuropeIn the past 18-24 months, an

increasing number of Victor art-ists have made the Europeanscene, and have reaped heavyrewards in disk sales - apart

from personal appearances. Not-able Victor acts who have beentilling this international field inthis way include Paul Anka,Neil Sedaka, Al Hirt, PeggyMarch, Henry Mancini and Del-la Reese.

More RCA Victor acts arebeing scheduled for overseastours. Miriam Makeba, for in-stance, will be overseas in May.Her schedule will include ap-pearances at the Olympia,Paris, on May 13 and 14.

The philosophy of Victor isthat it has a very large stake inthe overseas record business;that it has the greatest inter -

LP's Getting UpperHand in Disk Mart

By OMER ANDERSON

COLOGNE-A radicalswitch in West German disk pro-duction will heavily influencethe 1964 production programsat all major diskeries.

Most of the diskeries are pre-paring a tactical withdrawalfrom extensive singles produc-tion to concentrate on the boom-ing LP field. Study of 1963sales statistics shows that any-thing the single did last year,the LP did better.

Most diskeries seem to feel,with Electrola and Ariola Euro-

disc, that the surface has barelybeen scratched in exploiting therich LP lode. The trend here istoward a bolder LP repertorythan has been visualized in theU. S. For example, Electrola isestablishing a department to ex-port to North America specialtyand novelty releases from itsdomestic production.

Ariola likewise visualizes tre-mendous production potentialfor the LP, primarily in non-classical production. The LP isconsidered to offer a flexiblerecording format for original


national artist currently in ElvisPresley; and that there is adirect and profitable correla-tion between sales and appear-ances. The evidence has beenbuilding. Paul Anka's record of"Ognia Volta," for instance, sold750,000 copies in Italy alone.Jim Reeves' single, "Welcome toMy World" from an LP, did450,000 in England; Reeves' "ILove You Because" racked up

CAPITOL HALTSPREPS' BEATLES

HOLLYWOOD-Capitol hasstopped pressing the Four Preps'single of "A Letter to theBeatles" because Duchess Mu-sic, the American licensor, re-fused to give Capitol permissionto cover a parody of an actualBeatles disk. Single had been arush release February, and re-portedly contained bars fromthe Beatles' smash, "I Want toHold Your Hand."11111111M1111111111411111111111111111111111111111M11111111111011111111111111111111

pearances will be in operahouses and concert halls, ratherthan at Army bases-althoughthere will be several of thelatter. The schedule calls forone performance a day gen-erally, but in several instancesthere will be two. The datesand locations are as follows:Hamburg, April 4-5; Frankfurt,6; Munich 7; Vienna, 8; Han-over, 9; Essen, 10; Berlin, 11;Copenhagen, 13; Stockholm, 14;Oslo, 15; Frankfurt, 16; Amster-dam, 17; Carlsruhe, 18-19; Brus-sels, 20-21, and Munich, 22-23.

The group had hoped to dosome live recording sessionswhile on tour; but a press timethis seemed doubtful in view ofrestrictions imposed by mu-sicians' union. Werner Muller'sork, and a bilingual emsee willaccompany the American artists.

"Progressive Hillbilly"The artists indicated they

would very likely perform muchof their better-known recordedmaterial. A reporter queriedChet Atkins as to whether hewould play jazz. The Nashvilleoperations manager for RCAVictor, who is one of the na-tion's most sophisticated mu-sician, thoughtfully answered"progressive hillbilly."

RCA Victor's publicity onthis tour had an interestingfacet. It stated that "The Nash-ville Sound, bedrock of Ameri-can popular music, is about tomake the European scene in abig way." This verbiage wascarefully planned so as toestablish the point of view thatNashville, and the Nashvillesound, is a major factor inworld-wide pop music.

With regard to remunerationfor the live performances, it isunderstood that the artists onthis trek will play for scale plusa percentage. The take is ex-pected to be substantial.

Germans Scrap Singles for LP's LATE SINGLE SPOTLIGHTS Continued from page I

music and text production onlynow being appreciated.

Lyrical EnthusiasmWhile some of the enthusiasm

voiced by German disk impre-sarios for the LP seems improb-ably lyrical; in fact, it has asolid 1963 sales basis. Germandiskeries, in accenting the LP,are merely listening to the till.

The German trade analysessales in terms of disk units,compiled as follows:

The unit formula is calculatedto reflect more accurately thevalue of sales by weighing theLP proportionate to its highercost. The 1963 sales figures,compared with those for 1962,show clearly that the trend istoward the 12 -inch LP and thatsingles are sinking fast. Somedisk producers feel that theircompatriots who profess un-shakable faith in the future ofthe single are blind to the un-mistakable implications of the1963 sales figures.

Some trade analysts, too, link

7 -inch (single) 45 rpm 2 titles = 1 unit7 -inch EP 45 rpm 4 titles = 2 units

10 -inch LP 33 rpm = 4 units12 -inch LP 33 rpm = 6 unitsUsing this yardstick, sales in 1963, compared with those for

1962, were as follows (all number and unit figures are given inmillions).

Victor also has a hot, strongsoundtrack with Elvis Presley.The company is just getting offhis last hot LP, "Fun in Aca-pulco" and is now going fullsteam on "Kissin' Cousins."

Other current entries of im-portance are "Tom Jones" onthe United Artists label and"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, MadWorld" also on UA. Both pic-tures are represented in thisyear's Oscar sweepstakes in onecategory or another. Decca isin the running now with its"Becket" soundtrack set.

Future hot prospects includethe film tracks of "The Soundof Music," Walt Disney's "MaryPoppins," and "Say It WithMusic," the Robert Gouletstarrer that will feature musicby Irving Berlin.

At present, the all-time best-selling soundtrack LP is Co-lumbia's "West Side Story,"which has been riding thecharts for over three years andhas registered over 3,000,000album sales. It's recalled that"West Side Story" racked upa lot of Oscars the year it wasrunning and the sales ruboffon its record counterpart isquite obvious.

the sag in singles to the upsurgein tape recorder sales. Studiesby GEMA, the West GermanASCAP performing rights socie-ty, show that taping is concen-trated on singles, a number ofhot hits being recorded on thesame tape, which is played whilethe tunes are on top of the chartand then erased.

There is less inclination totape I2 -inch LP's, which tendto have prestige value.

Calculated by units, recordsales increased 4.4 per cent in1963 over the preceding year.Singles sagged 20.4 per centwhile LP's gained 37 per cent.Therefore, in boosting LP pro-duction in 1964, the diskeriesare merely following the 1963sales trend.

Drake Ducks B'dway Quacks;New Fans Dig Record Stars

NEW YORK-There's a newaudience being brought intoBroadway's musical theater byperformers who've made theirmarks in other show businessmedia. That's the contention ofErvin Drake, who's currentlyrepresented on Broadway withhis first musical score, "WhatMakes Sammy Run?"

It's Drake's belief that hisshow has been building steadilyat the box office because of thepull of the musical's star, SteveLawrence. Even though it's alsoLawrence's first try on Broadwayhe has a built-in audience, saysDrake, through his work on rec-ords, night clubs and TV.

In Drake's view, it is the new-comer to the theater that willeventually pull it out of itseconomic doldrums. "People

3 Sides of

DeShannon GalHOLLYWOOD - Vocalist

Jackie DeShannon is many peo-ple. She's a rock and roll belter,a sexy folknik and a willowyjazz -tinged singer. These threesides of her personality wereadamently proved at her LosAngeles nitery opening (26) atGazzarri's.

Miss DeShannon's voice isabout as low and hoarse as agal's voice can get, but she usedthis hushed quality expertly inthe slow and tender "I WishYou Love," which demonstratedher feel for jazz. Jackie hasheretofore presented a cloudedimage to the public, for herdisks never sounded the same,hence one never knew whichway she wanted to go. Hernitery debut clarifies the con-fusion. Jackie wants to masterall forms of music. With hersilken gold hair flying, her eyesablaze and her hips swaying,she presents a totally animatedpicture of a vocalist at work.Unfortunately, her two guitar -drum accompaniment was over-ly loud on many numbers, allbut eliminating her voice. The21 -year -old Liberty artist ob-viously enjoys the fast tunes,where she can snag her fingersand dig into the lyrics, such ason "La Bamba," "You Are MySunshine" and "Needles andPins."

Drake also points out that thevogue for theater newcomers isspreading through Shubert Al-

The Old BakerNEW YORK-The bedizened,

bejeweled, bewigged, interna-tional bird of paradise, Jose-phine Baker, returned to NewYork Tuesday (March 31) for alimited engagement at theHenry Miller Theater.

She struts and preens andCOOT( her way through a varietyof songs that range from verygood to tired in an assortmentof costumes she refers to as"complications." The "complica-tions" are part of her famed$250,000 collection. An incom-parable stylist, the songs servemerely as an adjunct to theaccouterments.

The entertainment does notentirely come off for a numberof reasons. Miss Baker has beenpoorly served by the production.While everything about her isexpensive and exotic, everythingsurrounding her seems a bitshoddy (possibly due to thecontrast). The orchestrations are


marvelous dance he has for solong done so well.

So this Easter evening con-cert, where a returned mu-sician, Charles Melvin (Cootie)Williams growled, snarled, sang,danced, cheered, and, in gen-eral, acted and played as ifbig trumpeters were comingback, was a resounding successbecause Duke had a new focus,and has new music and en-thusiasm, and so does his mar-velous band.

It was evident from the verybeginning when Cootie rompedthrough a much changed"Creole Love Call." That wasthe tenor, or, perhaps thetrumpet and orchestra of theevening. Even most of the oldthings were newly orchestrated.

New York PRESS BOX SCORE

"FUNNY GIRL""Funny Girl," the musical based on incidents in the life of Fanny Brice by IsobelLennart (book), Jule Styne (music) and Bob Merrill (lyrics), opened on BroadwayMarch 26 to okay notices and acclaim for Barbra Streisand. Capitol is issuing theoriginal cast album and Chappell-Styne is publishing the score.Following is a breakdown of the New York press critical appraisal of the showand score:

BILLBOARD'S MIKE GROSS: SHOW-It's a routine backstage yarn that plodsalong unimaginatively with Barbra Streisand on stage practically all of theway to help pull it through. It's even too much for her.

SCORE-The collaborative effort of Jule Styne and Bob Merrill resultsin only a few songs of step -out potential. "People" is already gettingplay, and there may be some chances for "Who Are You Now" and"Cornet Man."

TIMES: SHOW-"Fanny and Barbra make the evening."SCORE-"Styne has written one of his best scores."

HERALD TRIBUYNE: SHOW-"The show as a whole, considering its tendencyto lose weight, can't be called a clean knockout. Suppose we settle for a TKO."

SCORE-". . . a lot of help from the Jule Styne-Bob Merrill score-makesit different."

DAILY NEWS: SHOW-". . . a remarkable demonstration of skill and en-durance on the part of Barbra Streisand."

SCORE-"Composer Jule Styne and lyricist Bob Merrill have providedsongs of all types."

POST: SHOW-"The colorful atmosphere of a racy period in the theater isalmost untapped . . . at very best a fairly good musical show."

SCORE-"While Jule Styne's score doesn't seem one of his best, the songsare always agreeable."

JOURNAL -AMERICAN: SHOW-"I believe it should be a smash."SCORE-"Styne has devised new tunes to capture the climate of the oldones, but they are more suited to the capabilities of the star and areexcellent in themselves."

WORLD -TELEGRAM: SHOW-". conies up just this side of great."SCORE-"Styne has written some good stuff . . . it isn't his best though."

NAB Tastes Programming inWQXR Nip At NAB ConventionOn Liquor Continued from page 1

WASHINGTON-New YorkFM Station WQXR's break withthe no -whisky advertising agree-ment will be a big buzz at theNAB convention this week inChicago. WQXR's decision totake $70,000 in hard liquoradvertising was followed at onceby a bill to bar such advertisingon the air, co -sponsored by Sen.Warren Magnuson, chairman ofthe Senate Commerce Commit-tee, and Sen. John 0. Pastore,chairman of its CommunicationsSubcommittee.

NAB's featured speaker, Rep.Oren Harris, chairman of theHouse Commerce Committee,has also indicated strongly toWQXR that such a failure inself -regulation by a broadcasterwho accepts whisky advertisingis sure to bring down govern-ment restrictions. Harris indi-cated that the same goes for anybroadcast failure to tone downcigarette advertising.

Senators Magnuson and Pas-tore, in 1961, refrained fromthis type of legislation when theNational Association of Broad-casters and the Distilled SpiritsInstitute pledged mutual bar tohard liquor advertising on theair. At that time, certain distil-lers were pushing hard forbroadcast time. Current failureof NAB President LeRoy Col-lins' plea to WQXR to changeits mind, decided the legislatorsto act, and act fast, on this one.

The Magnuson -Pastore billprovides penalties of from $100to $1,000 or up to one year injail for licensee who airs hardliquor advertising, and alsopenalizes the distiller who buysthe air time. The bill amendsthe Communication Act, andviolation of the liquor sponsor-ship ban could cost the broad-caster his license, under theterms of the legislation.

PROGRAMMING NEWSLETTER

Jazz D.J.'s Too Far Out?By BILL GAVIN

Contributing Editor

RADIO PROGRAMMING does not concernitself exclusively with achieving No. 1 ratings.Various types of programming take deliberate aimat smaller audience segments.Country music, rhythm andblues, classics and jazz eachattract smaller numbers of lis-teners than do the so-called popmusic policies.

SUCCESS IN SPECIALIZEDMUSIC programming requiresabove all that it deliver a fairlyconsistent and predictable audi-ence. Then, given a realistic rate card and ahustling sales staff, specialized programming canand does attract enough advertisers to show acomfortable profit.

OF ALL THE SPECIALIZED types of musicprogramming, probably the least understood-and most abused-is jazz. A great deai of jazzprogramming ignores listener levels of under-standing and interest. Too many jazz d.j.'s arecompletely subjective in their selection of music:they set their own personal taste as the arbiterof what to play, and they pay little attention tothe type of jazz that is most in demand, asshown by the sales reports on jazz LP's.

TO RADIO LISTENERS, acceptance of jazzdepends on understanding. Like all art forms,jazz is a form of communication. It must saysomething-must mike some sense-to the lis-tener, who then in turn must like what it says.The jazz performer shares with the composer thecreative role. He does not merely interpret themusic; he adds a new dimension to it, from hisown knowledge, feeling and skill. In doing so, hemakes use of a certain musical vocabulary whichmay or may not be widely understood.

THE VAST MAJORITY of today's adults grewup on a musical diet of fairly simple harmoniesand rhythms, ranging from nursery songs to themore sophisticated, but none the less elementary,

Broadway musical productions. The diatonic con-cept, as in the C -major scale, plus a few closelyrelated key changes, as in Haydn and Mozart,are the basic vocabulary that the great majorityof radio listeners can understand. Just about theonly form of jazz that can express itself in suchlimited harmonic language is traditional Dixie-land. Modern jazz ranges far afield in the realmsof polytonality, atonality and the whole tonescale. It follows the pioneering of such classicalgiants as Hindemith, Bartok, Milhaud, Stravinskyand many others.

TO THOSE WHO HEAR nothing but un-pleasant dissonance in such polytonal patterns asB -flat major superimposed on a G -seventh, muchof modern jazz is unintelligible. There is, how-ever, a steadily growing number of educatedears which are beginning to make sense out ofwhat the jazz musician is trying to say. Also,among the untutored listeners there is an expand-ing desire to learn the language.

IF THE JAZZ D.J. presents his show for listen-ers with varying levels of understanding, ratherthan for just the thoroughly oriented jazz buffsand musicians, he needs to be something of ateacher as well as a preacher. He must includethe simpler jazz forms as well as the more complexones, following the pedagogical precept of startingout with what the student can grasp, and buildingfrom there. Most of all, he must be aware of hissubject matter, not only in its historical aspectsbut also in its current developments. Down Beatis an important jazz -oriented periodical thatshould be required reading. For practical insightsinto the problems of being a jazz d.j., Del Shieldspublishes a monthly Jazz Newsletter that shouldbe helpful. You may write him at 54-7-A Chest-nut Street, Philadelphia. Attendance at variousjazz festivals, from Newport to Monterey, ishighly advisable.

THE JAZZ D.J. may command a much smallerfollowing than his colleagues in the pop field,but their enthusiasm, loyalty and intelligencemore than compensates for their small number.Jazz is a rewarding musical experience, both forthe listener and for the d.j. who specializes in it.

MANILAThe many -faceted talent and

showmanship of the country'sleading chanteuse of Englishand Spanish songs-Pilita Cor-rales-is showcased for the firsttime in an LP, "Pilita Corralessings 'A Million Thanks to You'and Other Philippine Hits." Thisis an initial venture of VillarRecords to record songs writtenby Filipino composers. Popularcomposers whose works are fea-tured in the new LP are MikeVelarde Jr. (who composed theinternationally famous "DahilSa lyo" which is included inJerry Vale's LP by Columbia."Language of Love" and re-named "Your Love Is Mine"),Pastor de Jesus, Constancio deGuzman, Restie Umali, JosefinoCenizal, and others. While someof the melodies are those whichhave garnered top spots on themuch - coveted Philippine HitParade (such as the pace -setter,"A Million Thanks to You"),there is also a batch of favoritesin the standard categorythrown in for good measure.

Staff members have been in-formally starting their workingday early in the past, but dictumis now official for all, save a.&r.producers. West Coast firmsfind the three-hour time differ-ential a problem in conductingphone business with East Coastconcerns, hence Liberty's deci-sion to hit the phones at 10 a.m.EST.

The early starting time doesn'toffer executives an earlier quit-ting hour. What affect has thesunrise plan had on its membersatter two weeks? "We're walk-ing around with blood -shoteyes," one exec stated jokingly.

Focus on Continued from page 12

Deejayfrom Knox College in Galesburg,Ill., returning to that city in 1939after a stint at Chicago's KentLaw School. The prospect ofbuilding his own radio stationwas the enticement to give up alaw career and at 21 he becamethe youngest station owner in thecountry. Howard sold the sta-tion to join the Navy and WorldWar II and after three years inthe Pacific, returned to resumehis radio career in Chicago.

Start With WINDAssuming the post of program

director, he began at that timehis long, continuous relationshipwith WIND. By 1949, anxiousto get back on the air again,he deserted management for thetalent department, extending hisactivities to free-lancing on otherstations. Eventually, he was do-ing 115 shows a week.on WINDand five other stations in thedays before taping. At one timehe finished a show for WINDat 5:45 p.m. and began anotherthat minute on WCFL.

This trick was accomplishedby WCFL's rigging of a portablestudio, just outside the WINDWrigley Building location. Dur-ing the 30 -second station break,Howard raced from one to theother.

Nationwide exposure was giv-en Miller's talents via a CBS net-work radio program from 1955to 1959. The next five years hedoubled in the visual medium for

NBC, locally and on the net-work.

Since 1950, Miller has beenWIND's morning man and hispopularity has remained unchal-lenged. One reason for his greatappeal is, undoubtedly, his un-erring taste in popular music.Through the years he has dem-onstrated an almost mysticalability to anticipate musical taste. . . and much of his compe-tition.

The Miller AppealCurrently his music reflects

the booming popularity of folkmusic with enough country -western to musicis fast finding favor with thegreat mass audience. An experton morning -type music, heplaces plenty of emphasis onbright, new modern versions ofold standards.

Any examination into the ap-peal of Howard Miller as a diskjockey must eventually acknowl-edge his ability to simply andsincerely talk to people. An un-relenting commentary, rangingfrcm headlines to the frivolous,is positively projected and listen-ers, whether adherents or non-believers, stay tuned in.

After 18 years, Chicago radiowouldn't be the same withoutHoward Miller. But with hispopularity at an all-time peak,there's little chance that thishighly professional practitionerwill ever stray from his WINDdial setting.

VOX JOX Continued from page 12WNWC, Arlington Heights, Ill.,is wondering what's become ofhis old friend Bob Clark. . . .

Jimmy Logsdon, who, for thelast several years has conducted"Jamboree" on WCKY, Cincin-nati, long one of the top coun-try music stations in the country,leaves there this week when thestation discards all country mu-sic programming to make wayfor airings of the CincinnatiReds ball games. Jimmy is pres-ently angling for a new post.

Jerry Osterman, country jockt WJCD, Seymour, Ind., left

the station March 23 for asix-month stint with Uncle Sam'sArmy at Fort Knox, Ky. BobLaymond, WJCD music director,has taken over Osterman'searly -morning duties, while con-tinuing with his own Saturdaymorning country platter seg."We've been getting pretty goodrecord service since our last

mention in your column,"writes Laymond, "but we stillonly have about 50 per centof the Top 50." Laymond asksthat new releases be mailed tohim at the station. Osterman isexpected to return to WJCDaround September 1. . . . AlShade, long-time country dee-jay on WLBR, Lebanon, Pa.,made his recording debut recent-ly with two sides on the Kings-ton Records label. His initial re-lease for the label couples"Everyday" and "This Land IsYour Land." Jean Romainewarbles with Shade on bothsides.

Sloan, president ofWhitney - Forbes Inc., directmail consultants. Pentron chair-man Osborn Andreas said heexpected the mailing to helpbuild word-of-mouth demandfor the recorders when they ap-

pear in stores, probably in aboutsix months.

The new stereo recorder isfully transistorized and featuresa "voice actuating" circuit whichstarts and stops it automatically.It's priced at $199.95.

A Program for More Recorder SalesBy DAVID LACHENBRUCH

Rx FOR RECORDERS: If you've been follow-ing our series of articles on the results of therecent Gordon Jones -Billboard survey of tape

recorder retailers (the last ofwhich is in this issue), you'veseen a pretty complete diagnosisof that field's ills from thestandpoint of the dealer. (Incase you missed the series, acomplete tabulation is availablefrom Billboard's Record MarketResearch division.)

Perhaps "ills" is too strong aword. The recorder field isn't sickly -it's just notgrowing strong and healthy as fast as it should,considering the almost fantastic utility and versa-tility of the modern recorder.

The retailers surveyed are generally consideredto be aggressive dealers who put some emphasison recorders. They include record, appliance andphotographic dealers. What they had to sayabout their problems, therefore, can be a valu-able clue for manufacturers and distributors ofrecorders and tape.

As we interpret the results of the survey, severalprime needs seem to stand out -at least fromthe dealer viewpoint.

The biggest complaint was "discounting byothers" and lack of price maintenance by manu-facturers. This gripe, however, isn't confined torecorders, but could apply across-the-board toalmost any type of consumer hard goods. Thecomments, nevertheless, would appear to suggestthat price stability is generally lacking in therecorder field -to put it mildly. That severalmajor recorder lines are now instituting variousprograms to head off excessive discounting isevidence that at least some manufacturers recog-nize the problem and are trying to do somethingabout it.

The dealer attitudes, as expressed in the surveyreturns, seem to suggest a positive program tofill the most pressing needs of tape recorderretailers. Here are some of the planks in thesell -more -recorders platform, as we see it:

I. Familiarize the average consumer with theadvantages and capabilities of recorders. thismeans advertising in consumer -oriented media, inaddition to the audiophile books. Stress shouldbe placed on the "family fun and entertainment"aspects, rather than technical characteristics.Ideally, a co-ordinated industry -wide ad andpublic relations campaign for the concept of taperecording seems to be what's needed. This couldbe undertaken by an organization such as theMagnetic Recording Industry Association or Elec-tronic Industries Association. Unfortunately, com-peting manufacturers rarely can agree on whatto put into such a campaign (in terms of both

ideas and money), and these drives often fallapart in one massive bicker.

2. Educate the dealer and the dealer's sales-men. Retailers admitted that even they and theirpersonnel were often unable to give adequatedemonstrations of some tape recorders. One solu-tion would be for factory or distributor salesmenor reps actually to work on the floor of the store,first holding clinics for retail salesmen, thendemonstrating the best selling techniques withactual customers. Manufacturers and distributorscould learn plenty about their products this way.Many of them actually do this -but much morecould be done.

3. Make more selling aids available to thedealer. Special demonstration machines, built intoattractive displays calling attention to the ma-chine's features (along with the dealer educationmentioned above) could go a long way towardovercoming the hit-or-miss demonstration tech-niques employed today.

4. Develop simpler recorders for non -audio-philes. A quality machine needn't have so manymeters and knobs that it scares customers away.The TV set is the most complex device in theAmerican household -yet it can usually be oper-ated with only two knobs. You no longer needto shift gears to drive an automobile -but auto-mophiles can have "four on the floor" if theywant it. How about a simple, high quality ma-chine for the non -audiophile who appreciatesquality?

5. Improve servicing programs. The servicetechnician should have all possible assistance fromthe manufacturer. This can be expensive, but it'svital in maintaining good customer relations andgood dealer relations. Obviously, so is goodquality control, to eliminate as many service callsas possible.

6. Make the customer happy with his purchase.One method suggested by several survey respond-ents is to include a special pre-recorded tapewith the machine. This could explain the featuresof the recorder (along with a good instructionbook, demonstrate stereo effects and include sev-eral selections from high -quality pre-recordedtapes. At the very least, an understandable easy-to -follow and complete instruction manual shouldgo with the recorder. In the case of imports, it'spreferable to have the book written in the U. S. -type English.

These are a few points which seem obviousfrom perusal of the survey replies. Other dealergripes are far tougher to cope with. Examples:

oo many models, prices too high, too much timeneeded for demonstrations.

Some day tape recorders will come into theirown as mass -appeal instruments -either in reel-to-reel or cartridge format. Before this can hap-pen, however, there must be a serious attemptto sell tape recorders to the primary sales target -the average American.

TAPE RECORDER SURVEY: 4

Pre -Recorded Tapes' High CostSeen Biggest Barrier to Success

(This is the last in a series of four reports onmerchandising of tape and tape recorders, basedon a nationwide retailer survey earlier this yearby Gordon Jones of the Wharton School of Busi-ness, University of Pennsylvania, in co-operationwith the Record Market Research division ofBillboard.)

What's wrong with the pre-recorded tape mar-ket? In the minds of dealers, there's absolutelyno question-prices are too high. Asked to namethe major problem areas in pre-recorded tape,some 75 per cent of the retailers responding tothe Gordon Jones -Billboard dealer survey singledout high price.

Despite the general feeling that prices are toohigh, 75 per cent of the tape recorder dealerssurveyed indicated that they also sold pre-recorded tape. In 89 per cent of the locationswhere pre-recorded tape was handled, dealerssaid the same buyer made all decisions on bothpre-recorded tape and tape recorders.

Best Selling LabelsColumbia was selected as the best selling pre-

recorded tape line by 49 per cent of therespondents. Other labels mentioned, in order offrequency, were London (picked by 15 per centas the best seller), Capitol (13 per cent), RCAVictor (10 per cent), Bel Canto (3 per cent), UST(3 per cent), Command (3 per cent).

Only 7 per cent of the stores responding indi-cated that they maintained tape rental libraries.Of those with libraries, the largest percentage-43 per cent-indicated that the purpose of thelibrary was "profit," while 29 per cent said theymaintained their rental libraries for "customerconvenience."

Blank TapeAs to best selling brands of blank tape, 63

per cent named Scotch; Reeves Soundcraft wasnamed by 6 per cent; Ampex and Audiotape by 4per cent each. Asked to name their second bestselling brands, 28 per cent picked Scotch; 14 percent, Ampex; 12 per cent, Audiotape; 9 per cent,Reeves Soundcraft; 7 per cent, Ferrograph, and4 per cent, Kodak.

Although high price was singled out by threedealers out of every four as a problem area,there were other gripes: "No playing time men-tioned" and "short reels" by 12 per cent; "limitedselection available," also by 12 per cent; "lowturnover" by 8 per cent; unavailability of mono-

phonic tapes by 8 per cent. Other complaints,each made by about 4 per cent of respondingdealers: Customer ignorance in using four -tracktape; erratic quality; pilferage; complicated load-ing; customers can't listen to sealed tape packages.

Here are some sample individual comments:"Although many people are buying monaural

recorders, pre-recorded tape for them is practi-cally extinct. In my estimation, a low-pricedmonaural tape would fill a definite need. Theprice factor on pre-recorded tape, even when dis-counted, is prohibitive. People can buy three orfour stereo records at a discount for about $10,but they're lucky to be able to get two tapesfor the price."

"Pre-recorded tape's main problem is the pricefactor. This is why we resort to cheaper re-hashed recordings. The average person cannotunderstand why tape recorders should be somuch higher priced than record players-andwhy buy tape recordings when you can tape offthe air?"

"Most of our customers who buy stereo taperecorders quickly end up buying blank tape only.The six -dollar price ticket on a four -track stereotape doesn't appeal to most. All year long pre-recorded tape sales are at a literal standstill,except for Christmas and the January follow-up."

Suggestions for ManufacturersWhat can manufacturers do to help the sale

of pre-recorded tapes? Here are some samplequotations from retailers:

"Put on the market a monaural tape which isrecorded both ways, giving two -track but loweringthe price so people can buy (it) at same price asrecords. Also get stores like mine, which are notin the tape field, to put in same on a 100 per centguarantee trial with some sort of tape set-up."

"Perhaps a consignment package (of pre-re-corded tapes) would encourage more dealers toparticipate and gain wider exposure."

"Settle down to one method of recordinginstead of going both cartridge and reel-to-reelsimultaneously."

"Devote more (advertising space to 'musicsounds best on tape' and 'tape lasts so muchlonger.' "

latest State Department tour.As it stands now, there are fivesections. The first begins withfamiliar Ellington orchestralsounds, goes into a LawrenceBrown ("Caravan," "Keblah,""The Sphinx") solo and into aswinging ending. Harry Carneybooms his way through an-other part. Jimmy Hamilton hasa third, within and without theorchestra with a final, quiet,almost fey, countdown and out.Then there is a delightful kindof dance, meant to be Broad-way choreographed, with thesections sounding as if Dukehad told the late John Kirbyhow to write for the Ellingtonorchestra. The final of what hasso far been written is forJohnny Hodges and titled "Is-fahan." It must be a beautifulplace.

For the rest of the concert.there was a startling Rolf Eric-son on "Perdido," and a beauti-ful, breathy solo by Paul Gon-salves on "A Very Happy Re-union," followed by a silly up-tempo blues.

Cootie Williams wrote a kindof screamer called "The Open-er," a wild blues and a magnifi-cent "Caravan." Among thestrong side lines were (Cat) An-derson's "Prowling Cat," bassistMajor Holly on "Satin Doll" andthe usual version of "Pretty andthe Wolf." And, even stronger,was "Skillpoop," a marvelousmusical spoof, the title of which

Ellington explained is like theverb "to jive," or, as he put it,"making what you are doinglook better than what you aresupposed to be doing."

But, for Ellington people ingeneral, the reading of theevening was under the speciallight of "Tone Parallel toHarlem," as engrossing a tonepicture as of its writing 10years ago. But it has never beenplayed so well before. Thepictures are now stronger, but,more importantly than that, sois the love and the protest thatwere always there. It was sug-gested in Duke's introduction ofthe composition. It was blastedinto conscious orbit by Elling-ton's conducting of Ellington'sstrong, conscience -wise orches-tra.

May he and they ever comeon in such manner.

Drake Ducks Continued from page 10

"I Can Get It for You Whole-sale," it was her subsequentwork on records, night clubs andguest appearances on TV thatbuilt her reputation and solidi-fied her position as a hot box-office attraction.

There are also similar exam-ples in "Anyone Can Whistle,"which opened last Saturday (4)and the incoming "Fade In,Fade Out. "Whistle" has co-starred Angela Lansbury andLee Remick, both of whosereputations were established viafilm work, and "Fade In, FadeOut," has Carol Burnett. Al-though Miss Burnett did a pre-vious musical, "Once Upon aMattress," it's primarily throughher work as a principal onGarry Moore's TV show and asa guest star on TV varietyshows that her reputation asone of the top comediennes ofthe day developed.

In addition to the performingnewcomers, Drake also pointsout that new writing names arealso coming into the theater.This season alone, there areTimothy Grey, who collaboratedwith veteran writer Hugh Mar-tin on "High Spirits," scheduledto open on Broadway Tuesday(7), and Marty Brill, who is col-laborating with Albert Hagueon "Cafe Crown," due to opennext month. Also, says Drake,new producers are coming intothe Broadway musical field.Among them are Joe Cates with"What Makes Sammy Run?";Ray Stark with "Funny Girl,"and Caroline Swann and Mar-tin Lee (in conjunction withPhilip Rose) with "Cafe Crown."

Meantime, Drake is also roll-ing at a hot pace on recordswith tunes from his "Sammy"score. In addition to the origi-nal Broadway cast album onColumbia, Barbara Carroll hasan album on Warner Bros., andClark Terry has an LP on 20thCentury -Fox. On the singleslevel, Drake counts up 10 sides,including two by Steve Law-rence and two by Eydie Gorme(Mrs. Lawrence), and there aremore in the offing.

SOCCER

CHICAGO - Williams' newSoccer single player pinball gameenables players to score replaysby each of three ways: Highscore, total goals scored, and hit-ting a bottom rollover when lit(after scoring a certain numberof goals).

Purpose of Soccer is to scoregoals against the opposing teams.Player picks his team by going

through either a red or blue toprollover. After that, he attemptsto shoot each successive ballthrough the same rollover in or-der to retain "possession" of theball.

The position of the soccer ballis determined by a light on theplayfield. Players can advancethe ball one step by hitting theproper thumper bumpers. Mov-ing the ball across the fieldscores a goal.

Goals are also scored by hit-ting one of two eject pocketson the playfield.

Score is advanced by movingthe soccer ball across the field(each step counts 10 points), brhitting goals (100 points) or byhitting one of several targetsaround the playfield.

Soccer is an exceptionallyhigh -scoring game for a singleplayer model. It is the first sin-gle player in Williams' historyto have four reel scoring.

Other Soccer features includethree or five -ball play, newmotor unit, new coin switch,new latch -lock playfield, andmodernized cabinet. Shipmentsare expected to begin this week.

SKI'N SKORE

CHICAGO - Skiers can puton a pair of skis, push a button,grasp poles, and slalom down atough course, thanks to a newcoin -operated Ski'N Skore de-vice developed by DuKane Cor-poration, St. Charles, Ill.

The player (or skier, if youprefer) guides a miniature skifigure through a slalom courseby himself shifting weight andmanipulating poles.

The body motions are iden-tical to those used on a hill.Points are scored for gates hitor missed, and for speed of de-scent.

Court affirmed a decision ofJuly 22 by Judge Charles T.Wright of Thurston CountySuperior Court.

The high court held that thepeople, in presenting the sup-porting signatures, had donewhat was required by State lawto put the measure on theballot.

Joe Lyon, DuKane productmanager, said the company hasbeen testing the unit for severalmonths, primarily in Eastern skiresort areas. He said results areexcellent, particularly at theAndirons, a lodge near Ver-mont's Mount Snow.

Lyon added that a water-skiversion of the machine is duelater this year.

Game Tax Return

Declines in Wash.OLYMPIA, Wash. - Wash-

ington State Tax Commissionfigures, released March 25,showed revenue of $945,393 in1963 on amusement devicetaxes, down nearly half fromthe $1.6 million collected theprevious year.

A commission spokesman saidthe decline was mostly the re-sult of a ban on pay-off pinballmachines in Seattle at thebeginning of last year.

The State levies a tax of 20per cent of gross revenue frompinball machines and 40 percent for other coin -operatedamusement devices not involv-ing any element of skill.

Donald R. Burrows, the com-mission's research supervisor,said the tax take on amusementdevices has slowly declined inrecent years from a high of$5.3 million in 1950, as somecounties tightened up on toler-ance policies.

The tax returns could bounceback in Seattle, however, ifnewly elected Mayor J. D. Bra-man carries on his announcedplans to return to the city'stolerance policy.

News about the manufactur-ers came in a conservative state-ment issued by MOA directorFred Granger. Granger camejust short of making a positivestatement that the manufacturerswould be represented.

He did, however, say that afinal decision would be given byall four manufacturers by Mon-day (6).

The MOA managing directorsaid that he had been assured of"10 per cent co-operation" byall four manufacturers and thatat this point it "appeared likely"they would be in the show.

Granger added that the man-ufacturers were very pleasedwith the exhibit space in theSherman House. The hotel hasone of the largest convention fa-cilities in the city.

Officially, the manufacturerrepresentatives will now reportback to their companies beforegiving their final decision Mon-day (6).

Hot Springs CrackdownSlows Coin CollectionBy ELTON WHISENHUNTHOT SPRINGS, Ark.-Coin

machine operators were singingthe blues here last week afterGov. Orval Faubus orderedgambling casinos to close.

The operators have no directinterest in gambling-but theexodus of the huge crowds dur-ing the race track season, whichis the best of the year, cut heav-ily into the profits.

Some coin men reported col-lections dropped several hun-dred per cent. The closing of thecasinos, which have operated for100 years, left the city lookingalmost like a ghost town.

The casinos have been closedoff and on over the years, butmostly have operated. Now isthe best time of the year forcollections for the operators forfun seeking people come to theresort city from all over theU. S.

The two largest operators in

Hot Springs are Phil MarksAMusement Company, ownedby Phil Marks, and J. Earl Gill,owner of Gill Amusements Com-pany. Both have phonographs,games and vending equipmenton location.

The third is W. E. Lewis,Lewis Novelty Company. For-merly, there were six operators.But Marks bought out VanEddinger, Van Eddinger MusicCompany, his brother-in-law.

EUROPEAN NEWS BRIEFSNew Tonomat Model Market in Norway

FRANKFURT - Tonomat,the German subsidiary of Auto-matic. Canteen, reports excep-tional sales response to its newcompact phonograph, Electronic.

The new model has 160 se-lections, but the primary featureis the speed of record chang-ing. The record arm is placedparallel to the base and armson opposite sides lift the se-lected record into position assoon as the scanning movementis completed. The disk thus goesdirect to the arm which isnearest it.

Tonomat says this quickchanging appreciably boosts theoperator's collections by crowd-ing more phonograph play intothe operating day. Electroniccompetes with Wurlitzer's Ger-man -produced Lyric compact.

Largest Game SellsHAMBURG-Th. Bergmann

Company, a major Europeanproducer of diversified coin ma-chine equipment, reports thatits new target game, Safari, isbagging sales marks.

It is a highly miniaturizedelectrical mirror game, start-ling for the realism achieved.Animals appear and vanish,constantly changing positions,through a built-in mixer system.

Each animal has a smalllight in his head which servesas the target. Bergmann hasemerged as a leading worldcoin game producer by successof its Arizona target game,which is one of the largest sell-ing target games produced any-where since the war.

Coin Machine FairFRANKFURT - West Ger-

many's coin machine industryhopes to sponsor an interna-tional coin machine fair inFrankfurt this year.

The fair would serve as ashowcase for Germany's boom-ing trade and would providean international meeting groundfor the world industry. It wouldparallel the Hanover industrialfair.

West Germany has the Con-tinent's largest and most sophis-ticated coin machine industryand trade. However, there haslong been grumbling within theranks over the lack of an in-dustry showcase. There havebeen several attempts in recentyears to stage such a fair, butthese efforts have founded onintra-trade bickering.

OSLO-A two-way race isdeveloping in Norway betweenU. S. and West German man-ufacturers for supremacy inwhat looms as a lush phono-graph preserve.

Norwegian marketing surveysindicate a medium term phono-graph market for 12,000 ma-chines, compared with thepresent 4,000 to 6,000 ma-chines, and a long-range marketof upward of 30,000 machines.

The surveys indicate there isgreat phonograph potential inthe rural areas and in the farnorthern areas, where recrea-tional facilities are lacking.

French Pinball Mach.NICE-Establissements Rally,

the largest French coin gamesmanufacturer, is mapping a bigEuropean Common Market salesprogram for its El Toro pinball.

El Toro, which is billed asEurope's answer to the U. S.pinball, can be played by oneor two persons. The score isposted automatically on an il-luminated board and is carriedcumulatively, meaning that suc-cessive players try to beat thetotal posted by their prede-cessors.

Production of about 100 ma-chines monthly is to be doubledin anticipation of strong Euro-pean demand. Rally's promo-tion of El Toro is expected topoint the way to a CommonMarket format for general salespromotion by firms in the sixCommon Market countries.

Biggest Danish OpCOPENHAGEN - Dansk

Grammofon Automat A -S hasboosted its operating interestsin Denmark to over 30 phono-graphs.

This makes Dansk Grammo-fon the largest operator in Den-mark. In addition to the 300phonographs, Dansk Grammo-fon also operates about 100games.

The firm is the Danish dis-tributor for Rock-Ola and is theEMI subsidiary in Denmark forphonograph records. It repre-sents an integrated music op-eration which has scored spec-tacular success.

Far from representing a con-flict of interest, the firm's phono-graph operation has helpedstabilize the operating field forsmaller independent operators.

Belgian Tax Law Sets ModelFor European Coin Industry

By OMER ANDERSONBRUSSELS-Union Beige de

l'Automatique (U.B.A.), theBelgian coin machine trade as-sociation, is reminding manufac-turers and import-export con-cerns that all coin machines(phonographs and games) mustbe registered with the Ministryof Finance before the equipmentmay be operated in Belgium.Henri De Vroey is president ofU.B.A.

Such registration is providedin the Belgian law enacted De-cember 24, 1963. This law, con-sidered model legislation for theEuropean coin machine trade,replaces local levies with uni-form national coin machine tax-ation.

The' law establishes a scheduleof taxation based on the size ofthe community in which theequipment is located and on thetype of equipment operated.

Communities are grouped intothree categories: over 30,000population; between 5,000 and30,000, and under 5,000. Sixcategories of equipment are es-tablished: A, B, C, D, E and F.As yet, there have been no cri-teria announced for allottingcategories.

Equipment in the highestcategory (the equipment still tobe designated specifically)-Category A in a community ofover 30,000-will be taxed15,000 francs per machine peryear, and equipment in the low-est category (F in a communityunder 5,000) 300 francs per ma-chine per year.

U.B.A., which represents thecoin machine trade on a mixedcommission in charge of ma-chine classification, is offeringto effect registration on behalfof manufacturers and importers -exporters.

U.B.A. said firms should sendcomplete details on new ma-chines to the president of theUnion Beige de l'Automatique,228 rue Theodore Verhaegen,Brussels 6.

Equipment is classified by themixed commission-a panel withthree representatives of the Min-istry of Finance and three repre-sentatives of coin machine tradeorganizations: the U.B.A., cafesand traveling carnivals.

This panel assigns each itemof equipment a slot on the taxschedule, according to its tech-nical characteristics. Failure tohave equipment classified resultsin the equipment automaticallybeing placed in the highest taxbracket -15,000 francs.

The tax schedule:

Into these six categories willbe fitted the following items ofequipment (according to a for-mula yet to be revealed in de-tail): phonographs, film phono-graphs, bingos, football, pinballs,shuffleboards, bowlers, othergames (two -hole billiards, etc.),strength tester, grab bag, shoot-ing galleries, kiddie rides, up-rights.

Manufacturers and importers -exporters were asked to send fulltechnical information, includingillustrated material and dia-grams, to the U.B.A., concern-ing equipment submitted forclassification.

The December 24, 1963 lawis being acclaimed as a milestonefor the Continental trade. Itwipes out the crazy quilt of localtax statutes which frequently re-sulted in one item of equipmentbeing taxed at double or triplethe rate of a similar machinesited on the other side of a localboundary.

Instead, the new law providesuniform taxation on a nationalbasis. This means that manu-facturers, importers -exporters,distributors and operators canmake long-range plans withoutrisk of arbitrary restrictive locallegislation.

The new Belgian tax statute isnoteworthy, too, because it is arare instance of close coopera-tion between trade and ministryof finance in drafting a law har-monizing their conflicting in-terests.

The tax schedules establishedare regarded by the U.B.A. as"realistic" and the lowest pos-sible. This view is borne outby comparison with coin ma-chine tax rates in other coun-tries.

Continental trade experts gen-erally are highly impressed by

Special SessionThe Governor's order came

after a special session of theLegislature met last week. Amember of the House presenteda resolution condemning gam-bling at Hot Springs. It wasadopted by a 92-3 vote.

Governor Faubus felt it wasa mandate to close down gam-bling and ordered it closed orthreatened raids by ArkansasState Police. Hot Springs offi-cials ordered the casinos to closeafter Saturday night (28).

But all involved said "theywill open again. It is only amatter of time. They have beengoing off and on for 100 years."

And the coin machine opera-tors are frankly hoping for thebig crowds of visitors again.

Stylofoam Panel AidsSeattle Bulk Operator

SEATTLE-Going so far asto sub -classify charms, rings,costume jewelry, and similarfills into separate brackets forboys and girls is a merchandis-ing step which is paying excel-lent dividends for C. W. Mc-Daniel, long-established bulkoperator here.

McDaniel has been thor-oughly amused at the fact thatmost machines are patronizedby only one sex or the other.Even where he made a tremen-dous effort to interest teen-ageand younger girls in rings andcostume jewelry, by devotingfill exclusively to their interest,girls were less likely to use themachine than boys.

Suddenly it hit McDanielthat if he went to the troubleto make it plain that the Jewelryitems for both boys and girlswere included in his 10 -centvenders in some 3,500 locationsthroughout the Seattle area,that things might change.

The step he took is a stylo-foam panel, directly behind theglobe of each ring vender,which displays labeled rings forgirls on one side, and for boys
