PolyGram Counters Report,Kaas Did Not Freeze IncomePolyGram France general -secre-tary Michel Parent has offeredclarification of a number ofdetails arising from his company'slegal dispute with CBS involvingFrench recording star PatriciaKaas and her former producerBernard Schwartz. The explana-tion follows Music & Media'sreport (November 24) of a possi-ble out -of -court settlement of thecase.
In a statement issued Novem-ber 28, Parent points out thatKaas did not, as reported, obtaina court order freezing part ofPolyGram's earnings for her firstalbum. "In fact;' says Parent,"the court ordered the freezing of
royalties owed by PolyGram toSchwartz. From a strictly finan-cial point of view, there is no dif-ference for PolyGram in payingroyalties to Schwartz or freezingthem:'
M&M's report, continues thestatement, "mentions that thefreezing ordered by the Court ofAppeal in Versailles concernedCBS royalties. In fact, in thewords of the court, it freezes "Allturnover resulting from recor-dings made by Patricia Kaasunder her contract with CBS of ItMarch, 1990 until a final deci-sion has been made concerningthe suit Bernard Schwartz is tobring within six months against
CBS and Note De Blues [Kars'production company["
Finally, Parent describes as
"quite strange" the claim (by CBSFrance CEO Hemi de Bodinat)that "freezing CBS turnover isnot a real problem for CBS, sincethe sums will still generate in-terest".
"It should be pointed one'asserts Parent, "that althoughinterest is indeed earned, this ac-tually goes to the Bar of Sar-reguemines [whose members havesequestrated the sums] - not toCBS, which will thus never benefitfrom this frozen turnover!'
Sky, RadioAmsterdam -based Radio 10 hasconfirmed plans to launch a newpan-European service in springnext year, and Sky Radio says ittoo will launch a new station in1991. Both are expected to beCHR-oriented stations, and likeBussum-based Sky's current 'softAC' and Radio Ill's Gold servicebe distributed across the conti-nent via cable and satellite.
Both stations have securedstereo channels for their new ser-vices in the Amsterdam cable net-work's 1991 frequency plan. Thisconcession is to be reviewed afterone year. The services have beenprovisionally earned HitRadio 10and Sky Hitradio, although theseare unlikely to be their final tides.
"We're still working one nameand programming;' says Radio ICIpresident Jeroen Soer, "but somekind of hit format seems mostlikely at the momene' Adefinitive decision is expected inJanuary, he adds, with the stationgoing on air "in the spring".
At Sky Radio, operationsmanager Ton l_arnouwers saysplans for a second station are welladvanced. "We have been work-ing on the idea tluoughout thisyear, and we expect to see

Teldec Becomes East WestThe Hamburg -based Teldec Re-cord Service, which became anaffiliate of Warner Music Interna-tional in 1988, has from Decem-ber changed its name to East WestRecords GmbH. It thus becomes.the third Warner Music 'EastWest' company in existence, theothers being East West UK andEast West US
With the name change, the Ger-man East West's pop repertoirewill be marketed under the EastWest title while all classical reper-toire will be release under thename Ibid. Classics Interna-tional, which will continue to beheaded by managing directorHans Hirsch.
From January, the new EastWest company will acquire EastWest UK's back catalogue and all

Commenting on the namechange, East West managingdirector Juergen Otterstein saysthe switch puts the company (inharmony with the artisticphilosophy inherent in the EastWest legacy, as expressed by theinternational flagship of the labelin the UK).

TALKBACK
Developing A Strong Position Through Local ProductWhile Scandinavian's
worldwide status as atalent source has
continued to grow,independents such as
Sonet have faced a seriesof financial blows through
the loss of major labellicensing and distribution
deals. As Sonet chairman,Dag Haeggqvist, tells
Chris Fuller, he seesversatility, diversification
and faith in local talentas keys for survival.
Q: Scandinavian musk has risenin world prominence in recentyears through the lilacs of A -Ha,Europe, more recently Rosette,Leila K and Titiyo. Are you confi-dent this can continue?A: Yes. And the home market isnow healthy enough to supportthe music, which was not the caseat the time of ABBA, for example.People trying to develop local actsin the wake of AB13A could notget enough media exposure toestablish a home market, andhence did not reach the interna-tional market either. Now thesituation is very different. There'sa strong market here and goodchances to develop out of it,which is what happened withRosette.
Q: In international terms, do youconsider that Scandinavian musichas had a rough deal in the past?A: From a statistical point of viewwe've probably had more successthan we should have. Iceland, forinstance has had absolutely im-mense success considering the
tiny population of 250.000 orwhatever. Scandinavia is an
awkward part of the world from acommunications point of view. Ifthere's anything to complainabout it's been the local situation,where often state -run radio andTV monopoly has given too littletime to new music or to creativepeople generally. I think thereception internationally has beenpretty fair.
Q: Sweden still awaits nationalcommercial radio and TV. Willthis not help boost the recordmarket when it arrives?A: I just read this morning thatSweden is the only country inEurope without commercialradio... though I have my doubts
about Albania! I approve of moremedia outlets, but then I wouldn'tsay radio and TV are overlybackward in Scandinavia from amusic industry point of viewbecause, as the territories are
small, there does exist the pro-blem of sudden overexposure.
Sonet has lost several impor-tant licensing and distributiondeals over the past two years as aresult of international agreementsstruck between major labels. Hasthis problem been mirrored acrossthe Scandinavian independentsector?
A: Yes. But those who have suf-fered the most are those whodrifted away from maintaining a
local roster and were solely relianton distribution for major labels.Grammofon Electra [which wentbankrupt in November 1989) werethe first victims because they hadvirtually no creative side at all.
For Seem to lose labels likeChrysalis and Island has obvious-ly been very tough. But we havefound new life by developing astrong position in the local marketwith local product. And we havehad to adapt from an organisa-tional point of view, which is a keyfactor. When a purchase spreegoes on among the majors youwill either go under, sell out likeTelder or CGD or else, like us,rethink and restructure
And on the sales side, up until a
few years ago I understand thatSweden had the highest per capita
record consumption outside ofthe US, And that was with a totalstate monopoly within the media.I know that the Americans areabsolutely amazed at how we canpromote records. But it followsthat the records that do get
exposure get a very big market. Soyou have to be very careful indrawing conclusions.
Q: Have improved promotionaland marketing techniques im-proved the chances of cross,border success within Scan-dinavia?A: I don't think them are any hardand fast rules. Sophisticated
marketing does not really operateon a business level within a smallterritory like this, or indeed Out ofit. There is a lot of luck involved.Rosette are a good example ofexactly that. An American stu-dent took a record home from hissummer holiday, had it played onhis local station somewhere in theStates and it took off from there.
Within Scandinavia, retail re-mains underdeveloped, and moremegastores will better the situa-tion. It would be interesting to seesome of the international com-panies like Tower make an en-trance here. I think their conceptswould work very well.
Q: Are there any new acts in par -
dealer which you see making aworld impression in 1991?A: Norway's Dance With AStranger should stand a prettygood chance of developing andhave already started on a goodscale in Germany. Then there's aSwedish Sonet band called Armyof Lovers, who we're negotiating aUS deal for, plus a Finnish Sonetoutfit, 22-Pistepkidat and a bandcalled Nomads that have justmoved from a smaller label,Amigo, to us.
On the dance side too, I thinkSwedish labels like Swemis andTelegram will continue to do verywell. They have Rob 'N' Raa,Titiyo, Lelia K. A very big successright now is Doctor Alban, whohas a defunte gold album herewith Hello Africa.
Q: You have redefined Sonet as a"broad -based media company" -what's the philosophy here?A: We feel that, particularly in alimited territory, it's essential tohave an involvement right acrossthe whole media, involving bothsound and pictures, to safeguardan operation of this sire one year-round basis. Sonet is spreadacross records, publishing andfilm plus video and TV produc-tion. I don't think you can mn arecord company ore music com-pany here unless you are preparedto enter these other, complemen-tary areas, which are essential forthe development and sustainingof artists. 0
Dag Haeggqvist, chairmanand director of bona Gram-mofon, has been with the com-pany for over 30 years. In thistime it has grown into Scan-dinavia's leading independentmusic group, in recent yearsexpanding into film and videodistribution plus TV produc-tion.
Though Swedish - based,Sonet has affiliate companiesin Norway, Denmark andFinland, and operates jointventures in France (with Mut)and the UK (with Intereordand Ricordi).
Just over a year ago, Haegg-qvist was appointed the soleScandinavian representativeon the international IFPIboard.

Chiltern Buys Severn
Sound, 3CR for f 1.3 MillionThe Chiltern Radio group hascontinued a vigourous expansioncampaign in its acquisition of FMcontemporary hit station SevernSound and AM Gold outlet ThreeCounties Radio (3CR) for up to£1.3 million. The final price iscontingent on forthcoming netrevenues.
Chiltern Radio MD ColinMason says that, along with thegroup's major stake in FTP/Bristol, Severn and 3CR will"firmly establish" the ChilternNetwork group in the WestCountry.
Chiltern obtains both the busi-ness and net operating assets ofGloucestershire Broadcasting plc,the two stations' holding com-pany. The deal is conditional onIBA/Radio Authority approval,although contracts have been ex-changed.
An initial consideration of £ Imillion is payable on completion,expected in early January. In the
year to September 1990 Glouce-stershire Broadcasting had a tur-nover of £ 804.030 with anoperating profit of £ 11080.
The 10 -year -old Severn Soundbroadcasts to a potential 460.000audience around Gloucester andCheltenham. 3CR, which carriedSevern Sound's pop format untila frequency split two months ago,has a 720,000 potential listener -ship in Gloucestershire Worcester-shire and Hereforshke.
According to Colin Mason,interaction between Severn, 3CR,FTP and the existing ChilternNetwork's four FMs will achieve"major cost savings".
Says Mason, "Expansion likethis is a natural requirement for apublic company on the mainstock exchange. We are lookingfor still further growth, either bynew acquisitions, by being part ofnew ficencing applications, or byexpanding 'Supergold' as a na-tionwide sustaining service' CI
Raw Fruit HarvestsRadio I Rock SessionsStrange Fruit, the label reponsiblefor releasing BBC Radio l's"John Peel Sessions", has launch-ed a new label, Raw Fruit, for thestation's "Friday Rock ShowSessions".
The first four releases- Samson(featuring Bruce Dickinson) LiveAt Reading 1981, Gillan Live AtReading 1980, Ten Years AfterLive Al Reading 1983 and Jethro
Live Al Hammersmith 1984 -were all originally broadcast onthe Friday Rock Show, whichcelebrates its lOth anniversary thismonth.
Sessions from Iron Maiden,Judas Priest and Diamond Headare also scheduled to come outnext year as part of the series,which is distributed by Pinnacle.
MD Clive Selwood says that theRaw Fruit series has been moredifficult to put together than the
Strange Fruit releases. "Bandsthat appeared on the John PeelSessions are usually happy torepay Peel for giving them the ex-posure, but hard rock bands tendto be more hard-nosed!'
Selwood says that the hardestpart is getting signed clearancesfrom every person who played onthe session, some of whom amlong gone from the band and dif-ficult to trace. He has alreadyreleased over 80 John Peel Ses-sions on Strange Fruit, more thana third of which have charted.
He also intends to follow up the'Queen At The Beeb compilationalbum of sessions, released in1979, with albums from The Yard -birds (featuring Jeff Beck andJimmy Page), Chicken Shack(featuring Christine McVie) andProcol Hamm.

Radio Authority DelaysNational AM AllocationThe first AM national radio fran-chise will now be advertised afterthe Radio Authority has allocatedthe FM service instead of simul-taneously, as had been originallyannounced. This will allow unsuc-cessful bidders for the non -popFM licence to then bid for an AMlicence.
Radio Authority head/radiodevelopment David Vick says thedecision was made at the requestof several potential AM bidders."They claimed that it would bedifficult for them to formulatetheir plus without knowing whatthe FM station would be,

If, forexample, the FM service ended upAs an easy -listening station itcould affect those applicants'plans because the services must bedifferent.

Capital Beats The RecessionPrompt action to cut operating strong position!' Capital will savecosts offset the drop in CapitalRadio's revenue for the year en-ding September 30, enabling thecompany to announce the anti-cipated record profit of £ 15.84million, a 5% increase over lastyear.
The radio station trimmed itsrunning costs by 4% throughinternal savings rather than joblosses, according to MD NigelWalmsley. "We were able to seethis recession coming a while backand so we had time to organiseour housekeeping;' he says.
The cutbacks more than com-pensated for the 3% fall in tur-nover. And they have not affectedaudience figures for the station,which now has a record 43%weekly reach of the Londonmarket with Capital FM andCapital Gold. That figure is up5% despite the arrival of five newLondon stations this year.

continental stations in a one -hourpackage.
They will be working closely on'Rock In Rio II', an eight -day all-star festival running January18-20 and 20-27, which has an ex-pected TV audience of sonar 500million. Blackmore says severalother co -ventures are beingdiscussed, although he declined todisclose details.
Unique is now seeking custo-mers across Europe for the Rioshow. The syndicator is offeringfive, one -hour in -concert pro-grammes, designed to run on con-secutive nights, plus additionalnews reports and colour -piecesfrom well-known radio per-sonalities who will be at the event.The shows will be fed by satelliteto London for editing, withredistribution to participating sta-tions the following evening. Non -UK stations also have the optionof hooking into the raw live feed,direct from Rio.
The artist lineup, includingPrince, INXS, Guns N' Roses,
New Kids On The Block, BillyIdol, George Michael (both soloand in a Wham! reunion with An-drew Ridgeley), is viewed byBlackmore as "well worthy of thebuild-up".
Blackmore adds, "Live ap-pearances from the likes of Princeand George Michael have hardlybeen abundant and we are confi-dent that Europe will respondwell. But aside from the interna-tional acts, I am sum we will be in-cluding some of the Brazilian par-ticipants and aim to capture thefull flavour of the event!'
Blackmore sees 'Rock In RioII' as "wholly relevant for Euro-pean radio. We have got to startliving on a larger map. There is noway we can continue to be
parochial and miss out on oppor-tunities such as this".

FIVE ARTISTS TRANSFER TO POLYGRAM MUSIC
PolyGram Closes Island Paris Publishing Houseby Jacqueline arca
In what is termed a restructuringmove, PolyGram has closed downthe Paris bureau of IslandRecord's publishing house. As aresult three Island employees aremade redundant, MD FredericPascal, Philippe Pla and JeffSaid.
The trio, who recently movedinto the Island Music premises,only got as far as publishing twoissues of their monthly newsletter.
"The news came as a bad sur-
prise!" says Saul. "We knew thatPhilips [PolyGram's parent com-pany] were having problems, butwe never expected this to happen!'
The artists currently on IslandMusic France will be immediatelyabsorbed by PolyGram MusicAlthough the changes do notdirectly affect Island artists suchas Salif Keita and Ray Lema (bothof whom have UK contracts),Saul expressed fears for the futureof five artists recently signed to
Music Video ProducersMobilise, Form SPVMFrance's most important musicvideo producers have mobilised toprotect their interests by forminga new trade organisation, SPVM(Syndicat Des Producteurs DeVideo Musiques).
The nine founding members ofSPVM represent what is thoughtto be 7560 of the French musicvideo market. They are from pro-duction houses Ganesa, Gedeon,Telecreateurs, Midi-Minuit, NBdC,Pirates, Program 33, RemanenceProduction and Une 2 Plus.
Says Fabrice Coat, Program33/president SPVM, "More than300 music videos were producedin 1989 in France There was noprofessional structure represent-
ing the companies involved in thisdynamic business. Our goal is
mainly to represent and defendthe interests of all the producersof music videos and be the voiceof the producers wherever is

According to Coat, the SPVMhas to deal with and contribute tothe creation of a new fund forvideos, along with with the Foun-dation for Musical Creation andthe CNC. The CNC is a divisionof the ministry of culture whichdeals with audiovisual matters.It is expected to distribute overFfr 10 million for clip productionin 1991.

However, Robin Leprous,spokesman for PolyGram Music,denied that these artists would beforgotten in the move "On thecontrary, we are going to workhard to build them up!' he says.
"We already have plans forAntoine Tome, who is a veryinteresting artist, as well as therock group Les Freres who willsoon be touring!'
According to PolyGram, themove is prompted by administra-tive rather than financial motives.But Saul questions the closure,
considering the large investmentput into the Island Music Franceoperation, and the fact that it wasone of the few areas reportedlyMaking a profit.
Leprous counters, "France wasthe only country where we hadtwo separate publishing struc-tures. It was obvious that we hadto close one of them. In terms ofsavings to be made, there will bethree less peopleto pay but we willhave the expenses of handling theback catalogue
"Of course we will save a cer-tain amount in restructuring butwe will also be spending as muchin reinvesting in the new artistsacquired!'

Aims For Broader Audienceby Chm
Holland's Catholic public broad-cast organisation KRO, is to alterits schedule on national pop sta-tion Radio 3 from the new year.Head of music Paul van der Lugtsays the changes, which includenew jingles, aim to "broaden thegeneral audience base and, morespecifically, bolster our eveningratings, which have not beenstrong".
Under the current public broad-cast system, KRO is allocated thewhole of Sunday's output onRadio 3. Evening programmingwill be restructured with the in-troduction of a new AOR show,`The Young Dogs', hosted by
leroenKosterman and Bert Rada-makers from 18.00-20.00 eachweek.
Following this, a new magazineprogramme ('Live', 20.00-22.00),will feature debate, poetry and

Among other changes, Sundaymorning children's programme'kugdactualiteiten' and pop show'Zin in Pop' have merged, and theafternoon 'Liefdeslijn' (Loveline)show will have new presenters,Bert Vesscher and Jeanne Kooy-marts.
The changes will take effectfrom Sunday, January 6. "Wedon't feel we have to go alongwith the other public radio chan-nels;' adds van der Lugt. "Theyappear to be programming momand mom non-stop music That'snot what the KRO's about. Wewill not join them... but we willbeat them!'
RTBF Plans Year -End MusicBelgium's French language publicbroadcaster RTBF plans to fea-lure music heavily in a specialweek of entertainment -orientedTV programming for the end ofthe year.

SCANDINAVIACenterpartiet Presents Commercial Radio Plan
by David Rowley
One of Sweden's three most im-portant opposition parties haspresented a plan for the introduc-tion of commercial radio, a movewhich is widely expected to finallyplace the issue firmly in thepolitical arena.
The Centerpartiet plan, reveal-ed in Stockholm late last month,allows for the three nationalpublic broadcasters, PI, P2 andP3, to remain as they are, whilethe 25 current local public broad-cast stations will be redefined asLansradio [district radio]. It is
believed that these stations willshift away from being purely localradio. However, the emphasis ofthe proposal is for the stations toremain local, essentially effective-ly ruling out the possibility of net-working.
Remaining under the auspicesof Sveriges Radio, the local sta-tions would receive approximately15% of advertising income fromTV2 if, as many expect, TV2becomes commercial along with anew third channel. The new 'com-mercial' stations would hold alicence for up to eight years.
Centerpartiet is the first Swe-dish political party to presentsuch a concrete proposal for com-mercial radio. It wields politicalclout through its relationship with
the ruling Social Democratsgovernment, which may put it inthe position of getting at leastpart of its proposal taken serious-ly. This would be a major break-through in a country where theissue of radio deregulation hasrepeatedly been put on thepolitical back burner.
Centerpartiets consultant onmedia affairs Ove Hultquist saysthe party hopes, at the very least,that their proposal will mean theforthcoming discussions on theintroduction of commercial TVinto Sweden will be extended todiscuss radio. "We think the issuemight be included in the TVdiscussions or that these talks willhave a continuation to take inradior he says.
"We want to put the radioquestion into the political arenaand this proposal goes some waytowards stimulating discussion. Ithink at the very least the SocialDemocrats will go with our ideato set up a committee to look atradio, but we cannot be sure theywill pick up our proposal.
"The TV question has beenwell prepared and debated bat theradio area is still completely un-prepared. Came next spring itwould look very odd if there areconcrete plans for commercial TV

but at the same time there is legalaction going on in the courts overRadio Nova broadcasting ads!'
Radio Nova's Clam Nydehldescribes the proposal as a "step
in the right direction" but addsthat complications over the com-mercial TV debate are potentialstumbling blocks for the wholecommercial media question.

The parliamentary question

Munoz concluded that the stateis Spain's most important com-munications group, employing40-45% of all people in the in-dustry. Economy minister CarlosSolchaga, who answered the ques-tion, replied that state involve-ment in communications is "aguarantee of pluralism".

The third single lifted from ClubClassics Vol II featuring (co-author) Kym Mazefle on leadvocals. Somewhat similar toKeep On Moving, this is anotherstrong contender from themasters of club music
Bell Biv DevoeBBD (I Thought It Was Me!) -MCA
The US trio continue their ap-pealing mix of streetwise hip hopwith contemporary pop, result-ing in handhitting beats, funkygrooves and smooth vocals.
Lonnie Gordon1(1 Have To Stand Alone - Supreme
Clearly inspired by 705 disco andbearing the trademark SAW pro-duction imprint. A nice littletune with loads of violins and astampeding drum computer.
Beggars & ThievesBeggars & Thieves - Atlantic
A quiet intro paves the way forthis hard hitting FM rock songfrom this New York -based four-some. A dramatic vocal delivery.
BasiaUntil You Come Back To Me - Epic
A danceable remix version ofthis tuneful pop song from theLondon Warsaw New York LP.A very sophisticated effort withserious hit potential.
Nusrat Fateh Ali KhanMurat Mum. Real Wm./Virg.
A challenging mixture of houseand 'Qawivall', the music style ofSufism, the mystical branch ofIslam. A hynotic record fromPakistan's most oustanding do-votional singer, remixed byMassive Attack.
SnapMary Had A Link Boy - Logic** Adak
An irresistable, nervous dancetrack based on a wicked, stickingtune The fourth hit single takenfrom The World Power album.
Aztec CameraThe Crying Scene - WEA
Straight -forward pop rock basedon pulsating guitar chords with aradiant rain by Julian Mendel-sohn.
Kon KartSyntonc - Mantic
Supposedly the first artist to havemajor chart succor with a songbased on samples, Kan Kan ismore known as the Canadianequivalent of New Order or PetShop Boys. On this second LP,Kon Kan moves a few steps awayfrom dance/pop moodinesstowards uplifting, jolly dancesongs. 1 Told You So is a straight-forward teenybop song with atacky chorus. Overall, this is analbum owing as much to SAW asto New Order. Not the baddest ofcombinations.
Tony CareyStoryville - Memnome
A gritty album, firmly rooted inblues, country rock and folk.Many of Carey's songs have ananthemic feel and the productionis marked by a majestic, tran-satlantic sound. Best picks: TheDeal, Just About A Mile Awayand A Love Gone A.M.
QueensrycheEmpire - EMI
The fourth full-length album bythis Seattle -based metal bandwhose main inspiration seems tocome from 70s symphonic rock.On a firm basis of contemporarymetal, the band freewheels withMarillion-like song structures byadding keyboards, acoustic gui-tars and vocal harmonies. Inno-vative and inspired. Best: Be. ICan, Della Brown and One AndOnly.
Elena RostropovicbLOW Without Reasons - EMI
Nine romantic, introspectiveballads by this Russian singer.Whispered vocals arepaned by by layers of synths andstrings in an ultra -ambient pro-duction. The closest thing to newage pop since the Cocteau Rrins.Try: Love Russian Poem andFear Of Love.
The OutfieldDiamond Dap - MCA
60s and 70s -rooted pop rock ting-ed with Genesis/Supertramp-likesymphonic arrangements, andcan by the duo's heartfelt andhigh-pitched vocal, Soundwisesomewhat similar to GermanFreiheit, the Outfield's songs arewell -crafted, radio friendly andvery commercial. Do not missEye To Eye, the 13eades-esqueJohn Lennon, the Supertramp-style Magic Seed and the ir-msistably rocking Unrespectable.A real contender.
Darden SmithTrouble No Mom - CBS
A refreshing album from asinger/songwriter with a warm,compelling voice who also knowshow to write candid and charm-ing songs, in a semi -acoustic,guitar -based setting. Smith'smaterial is gradually takingpossession of the listener. Checkout Fmnky And Sue All TheKing's Horses and List. To MyOwn Voice.
Elmer Food BeatElmer Food Beat - OR The Trade/430z
Interesting material from thisFrench four -piece. A stimulating,often witty mixture of ska,rockabilly and pure pop. Thekind of music that gets a partygoing. Check out L'Infinnior,the quirky Le Plastique C'EstFantastique and the cheerfulLinda.
Lucie BattistiLa Sposa Occidental°
Melodic pop material from Italy.The atmosphere is mellow, uplif-ting and intimate, topped off bythe artist's friendly voice. Try:Non Ti Pungi Pau, PotrebbeEssee Sew and Alcune Non -mange.

SPOTLIGHTThe Beautiful South
In the UK, The BeautifulSouth's second album
Choke has already beenafforded a flying start with
a no. I lead-off single,A Little Time, and a
llout UK tour. Theband's label, Go! Discs,is now implementing a
campaign for Europeaimed at consolidatingthe band's following, as
Chris Fuller reports.
Released across Europe on Novem-ber 16, Choke, produced by MikeHedges at London's Olympic andAIR studios and distributedthrough PolyGram, has some-thing to live op to. The band's1989 debut effort Welcome ToThe Beautiful South recordedsome 400.000 UK sales, a half amillion across the rest of Europe,and yielded three UK hits in SongFor Whoever, You Keep It All Inand Sail This Ship Alone.
But according to Go! Discs'head of international Alan Cow-
0 yz
deroy, Choke is "well on the wayto achieving half a million UKsales by Christmas" and includes"at least two more potential hits".The first of these is the newUK release My Book, a momup -tempo effort than the DavidHemingway/Briana Corrigan acidduet A Little Time, with a leadvocal from Paul Heaton.
Cowderoy regrets that A LittleTime had a considerably laterrelease date in continental Eur-ope, "too close to the album toenable us to get any momentum".Initial reaction at radio has beenstrong, however, and the singlehas just charted in Germany,Belgium and Holland, whichalong with France gave the groupits strongest continental sales onthe last album.
At press time, the album was
no. 29 in the European Ibp 100Albums, while the single was atno. 38.
Up -front of the LP, key radioand retail contacts were issuedwith a four -track CD sampler,and limited -edition jackets andwatches have also been circulated.
Germany proved so enthusiasticabout the B-side of A Little Time,a track entitled What You See IsWhat You Get, that in futureGerman pressings of the CD itwill be included as an additional12th track.
Following key press and major -station radio interviews in Ger-many and the Benelux, the bandbegan a short European tour inHamburg on December 3, finish-ing in Amsterdam on December13 and taking in dates in Franceand Belgium. Cowderoy, "I thinkthe power of the live shows willsurprise many. The subtlety anddark humour of the lyrics comesacross clearly and ha a live setting,with a full brass section, is givenatm punch!'
Cowderoy believes that pm-blems some Continental radioprogrammers had in accepting thetransition from The Housemar-tins, the Hull -based band out ofwhich The Beautiful Southevolved, has now dissipated. "Thename has of course changed, but Idon't think there's been anysignificant shift in style, and themnow seems to be now a wideracceptance of that. In the UKthere was no such hesitation!'
Choke, says Cowderoy, will
build a solid European base forthe band before they turn theirattentions to the US next spring,where the LP is just out. US radiohas had "trouble programming ALittle Time" though My Bookshould fare better. In addition,says Cowderoy, the second singlecomes with an "extremely MTV -friendly" video.
The Beautiful South comprises:Dave Hemingway (vocals); SeanWelch (bass); Paul Heaton(vocals); David Stead (drams);and Briana Corrigan (vocals).Heaton and Hemingway, bothformer Housemartins, formed theband in 1989.
The Housemartins, whoseunderstated style and subtle har-
ries are echoed in The Beauti-ful South, released three hitalbums and a 1986 UK Christmasno. 1 single with Caravan OfLove. 0

Labels Study East European Market PotentialDespite the fascination majorWestern record companies hawfor Eastern Europe, there still
exists uncertainty over the viabi-lity of the new marketplaces.
Several failed ventures hawadded to the concern. LastAugust, for example, EMI camevery close into entering a US$ 25million co-operative agreementwith Hungarian state-ownedcompany Hungaraton. However,when the Budapest -based label'sMD len° Bors was suddenlydismissed by the ministry ofculture, the deal fell apart.
A similar fate befell BMGInternational. Plans to open aMoscow offiro in co-operationwith Melodia were far advancedwhen the Soviets suddenly backedoff. BMG is still wondering why.
But while the uneasy climatemay have delayed large-scale in-vestment, several record com-panies have announced plans toopen up small -sized operations,especially in Hungary and Cze-choslovakia. Following is a West -meets - East, company - by -com-pany update:
CBSCBS was the first major recordcompany to employ a full-timestaffer in Czechoslovakia. Su-zanne Smetana joined CBS inJune this year and was involved insetting up a campaign to promotethe Rolling Stones' album SteelWheels, coinciding with theband's August 18 concert inPrague.
According to David Main,manager/Asia, Africa & EasternEurope for London -based CBSInternational, the campaign wasthe company's first "Western -style" campaign in that market.Exclusivity deals with the nation'sTV broadcaster were set up, videoclips were put into high rotation,and two national radio broad-casters - Radio Prague and CzechRadio - were playing Stones'material for the three weekspreceding the concert.
Says Main, "We used all meansof promotion that were not possi-ble before: pestering, selling pro-duct at department stores and us-ing caravans at the venue Thewhole event took place when theSoviet troops were withdrawingfrom the country, so the spirit wasobviously very high. We sold50.003 copies of that album andnot one was sold in the 160 shops
oManed by [state-orgalaZnr li:;tilmann as follows:Supraphon:'
So far, CBS has released newalbums from Judas Priest, NewKids On The Block, Bob Dylan,Alice Cooper, Midnight Oil, theClash and George Michael. Thecompany expects to release 27-30,LPs a year in Czechoslovakia.
In accordance with standard
The difficulties of convertinglocal currency in foreign money The need for blank tape royal-ty legislation Massive piracy
Inadequate copyright pro-tection Underdeveloped distribu-tion/retailing infrastructures
"I urge Eastern European record com-panies to re -define their business and in,vest in local repertoire. The multi-nationals need to stand together to sup-port the set-up of distribution systems,"
Arnold Bahlmannmajor record company pro-cedures in Eastern Europe, CBSdoes not work with full-scalelicences but operates on a title -by -title basis. The Rolling Stones'album was licensed through toPrague -based company Benton.
CBS is due to open anotheroffice in Budapest. ContinuesMain, "Hungarian legislationtowards copyright protection is
most encouraging and hopefullyin the first quarter of 1991 we'llhave someone working that mar-ket for us!'
After Czechoslovakia and Hun-gary, Poland is the next marketfor CBS. The company wants tomove in as quickly as possible tomake at least some impact againstthe high rate of piracy (often ashigh . 901/4).
All other Eastern Europeanmarkets currently are on holdby CBS.
BMG MusicHaving gone through the Moscowexperience, BMG Music Internetional is now taking a cautiousstand against investments inEastern Europe, However, it in-tends to open up offices in Buda-pest and Prague before June 30,1991 (the closing of the com-pany's business year) and is cur-rently talk* to several candi-dates to oversee those operations.
According to Sr. VP/CentralEurope Arnold Bahlmann, theproblems facing the market arestill of such magnitude that set-ting up proper record industrybusiness inevitably means takingthe long-term view. The main pro-blems - and they are thoseacknowledged by most other ma-jor companies - are summed up
Low living standards."The question, therefore, is not
whether we are willing to invest",says Bahlmann, "but do we havethe right basis for it? I urgeEastern European record com-panies to re -define their businessand invest in local repertoire. Themulti -nationals need to standtogether to support the set-up ofdistribution systems. The com-petition should be about reper-toire, not about distribution!'
BMG producti that has beenreleased Eastern Europe in-cludes new albums from WhitneyHouston, Eros Ramazzotti, DeepPurple, the Eurythmics and DaveStewart.
PolyGramIn contrast to other record com-panies for which trading withEastern Europe is relatively new,PolyGram has been active in theregion for almost two decades.Lothar Stryer, GM of the com-pany's Eastern European office,
the company.He continues, "It's not advi-
sory to set up offices right now. Itwould mean a competition withour [present] contacts. However,we're not ruling anything out!'
Steyr reports an upturn inbusiness for the company for thefirst half -year; if this trend con-tinues, a doubling or even triplingof turnover is expected in 1991.
In the past, PolyGram used tolease an annual avarage of 10-20titles per Eastern European mar-ket. That figure has now increasedto 100 titles per year per market.Direct exports are reported torepresent a "seven -figure income'.
Warner Music International alsoworks with non-exclusive lemmingagreements. According to ManfredLappe, MD Warner Music/Aus-tria, Eastern Europe sets its ownpace "We should not act, as weknow better. We should give helpguidance and advice when neededand asked for.
"The most difficult part in deal-ing with the region is finding theright partners who have themotivation and energy to set upventures. After that, as much pro-duct as possible has to be madeavailably Only then can we con-centrate on marketing and promo-tion. But the driving force behindall this should be Eastern Europe'
EMIMeanwhile, EMI is reconsideringits options in Eastern Europe afterthe collapse of the Hungaratondeal. According to Ronald WilliamHarris, EMI Music Worldwide'scontroller/international licensing,the failed joint venture was costly."Some of the others [record com-
"The most difficult part in dealing withthe region is finding the right partnerswho have the motivation and energy toset up ventures. After that, as muchproduct as possible has to be madeavailable," Manfred Lappe
points out that PolyGram con-tinues to deal with the "establish-ed" contacts. "Other companiesthat are new to the region aren'tthat regulated by prior agree-ments. PolyGram, however, is:'Nevertheless, second and third -option arrangements with custo-mary licenses haw been made by
patties] are now ahead of us, butwe're not left behind. We licenceindividual titles to all markets andwe envisage a time when wellmake an exclusivity deal"
The company is still committedto moving into Eastern Europe,with Hungary and Czechoslovakiaas priorities.

RETAIL RETAIL
MEDIA
A Music Retailer's View of Europe In The '90sChanges in Eastern Europe, the superstore concept,
the decline of vinyl, and 1992, are just some of thefactors affecting developments in the musk retail
sector. HMV's chairman and CEO Stuart McAllistergives his personal vicar of the challenges facing
the industry in the years ahead.
Music has always been avery volatile and fast-moving fashion busi-
ness, but as a retailer I foreseechange in Europe in the '90s on ascale and at apace at least as greatas in any 10 -year period since thebusiness started. These will bevery exciting and challengingyears for all of us.
Some of this change relates tocircumstances that are stilldeveloping, such as the liberalisa-tion of Eastern Europe, thegrowth of video sell -through, fur-ther new formats in the pipeline,new technologies such as Per-sonics, satellite -based media and,potentially, sateliite-based pro-duct delivery systems.
It seems to me, however, thatthere are also two importanttrends that were established in thelatter years of the '80s whichalready set the lone for furtherdevelopment on the retail side ofthe industry. These are theemergence of the aspiring interna-tional retailer, and developmentof the superstore concept.
SuperstoresIn the last few years a number ofmusic retailers have made signifi-cant moves to expand beyondtheir domestic markets. As well asHMV, the list includes Tower,
Superelub and WitSmith. Others such as Musielandand Wave of Japan, I am sure, areeither now looking at the pro-spects or also starting to ex-
periment.The '80s saw a substantial in-
crease in the professionalism andexpertise of music retail and suc-cessful concepts have prosperedand grown to the point wherecompetition between us is alreadybeing played out on an interna-tional canvas.
At the same time, the emer-gence of what the Americans call"Power Retailing" in this market,led to the development of thesuperstore concept. These storesare better able to act as true pro-duct showcases across all theavailable catalogue and repertoire,
as well as adding exciting newdimensions to the quality andenjoyment of the customer shop-ping experience In many majorcities the superstore has alreadyproved its worth both for theindustry and for its customers.
If I may digress briefly I shouldperhaps enlarge on what I meanby "superstore". In HMV thereare a number of characteristicsthat we determine as essential todelivering to the customer a truesuperstore experience The mostobvious is size. We define a super-store as having a minimum of atleast 750 square metres of tradingspace Below this we cannot pro-vide the range of product, the ser-vice facilities and the environmentwhich will make the shoppingexperience unique to its cus-tomers. There is no maximumsize.
HMV, unlike FNAC and Virginfor example, is positioned pri-marily as the authority in musicand as such we keep our retail of-fer tightly focused on music pro-duct rather than diversifying morewidely into books, clothing, hard-ware, computer games, cafes etc.
The most important benefit ofsize is the ability we gain to offerthe widest possible range andselection of music product in anenvironment which is merchan-dised to stimulate and inform.Shopping is increasingly beingseen as an entertainment optionby consumers. And music, of allproducts, should lead the field inthis.
Contrary to out-of-town ware-house styles of retail, discountpricing is not the issue hemRather it is the range combinedwith quality service given by train-ed and knowledgeable staff. he-creasingly in the West we are allsuffering from time poverty andour customers, like us, seek goodand fast service So HMV, for s-ample, imposes on its designers arequirement that any customershould be able to find a particularpiece of product within no longerthan three minutes.
iriHMV's entry into France in
October featured a music super-store in Bordeaux. Other majorFrench cities including Paris willfollow. The store in Bordeaux is infact just aver 1.IW square metresin size, judged to be optimum inthat market. HMV's strategy is tobuild optimally sized superstoresin all major city markets, combin-
'90s as we all vie for regional andnational market share, oftenagainst increasingly sophisticatedlocal competitors.
The European marketEurope represents by far the mostcomplex of these markets. Wehave to consider a wide range oflocal factors. As a retailer I heartalk of the 1992 "single market"with considerable scepticism.Operating music stores is aboutproperty, trading and employ-nient regulations, product sourc-ing and ultimately meeting thecultural expectations of localcustomers. All of these featuresexhibit tremendous variationacross the Continent, sometimeseven regionally within one coun-try, and will be directly affected by1992 hardly at all.
Take property, for example.Shopping in Europe is still largelyHigh Street based, as opposed toNorth America where shoppingmalls are dominant. Some Euro-pean cities, such as Paris or Rome,am full of beautiful, even ethereal,architecture dating back hundredsof years. Unfortunately, thesebuildings do not lend themselvesto power retailing, and we, there-fore, must be both creative and attimes, patient.
In retailing, many key elementsof the total mix can fortunately bechanged with great speed if theyprove wrong, but if initial proper-ty decisions prove subsequently to
"Operating music stores is aboutproperty, trading and employmentregulations, product sourcing and,ultimately, meeting the culturalexpectations of local customers."
ed, where appropriate, with smal-ler cluster stores. This strategy hasbeen the key feature of our expan-sion to date as the highest growthrecord retailer in the world andhas become central to our expan-sion into Canada, France, Den-mark, Ireland, Japan and ofcourse the US.
So my first conclusion, lookingat the competitive landscape andthe new types of store conceptthat are emerging, is that the ma-jor music markets of the world -Europe, North America andJapan - will become the bat-tlefields of music retailing in the
The less than acceptable, these deci-sions cannot be reversed for verylong periods of time. Too manymistakes have been made by UKor US companies in continentalEurope in the past, judging pro-perty on little mom than a fairlygood tourist's view.
But, by far the most importantvariable for us is the customer.Europe does not enjoy a commonculture, it is an amalgam ofcultures and sub -cultures thathave been born of a competitiveand sometimes violent past. There'remain considerable differencesof political ideology and social ex-
pectations. This diversity is therichness of Europe and long mayit remain At HMV we are tryingto come to terms with diversity,initially by research and subse-quently by training.
We have found that we mayneed to spend between 12 and 24months researching a new terri-tory before opening a store Wealways carry out detailed industryand consumer research and try tomake no assumptions so that wecan be open-minded about whatthat market needs.
Once we are committed to amarket, training becomes crucial.HMV has a very clear customerservice philosophy and we need toget this across to staff in a waywhich is appropriate within theirculture We then need to ensurethat the delivery of service to thecustomer meets his need andexpectation and our research isimportant here
It is too easy as a retailer toslavishly impose training schemesdeveloped in one country on thestaff of another only to find thatthose staff, like our customers,have subtly different expectationswhich can block the transfer ofthe all-important service philosophy and brand values. So train-ing is a cornerstone of ourstrategy and I submit that no onehas ever heard of a company go-ing out of business because itspent too much money on train-
ing. I also believe that retailersshould employ the very best peo-ple they can afford. Staff are aninvestment in the future of thebusiness, not a cost.
Information technologyOne last area I should commenton in relation to dealing withdiversity, is the role of systemsand information technology. In apan-European or global retailingarena, the need to have effectivesystems integrated within theoperation is paramount. Theyenable us to rapidly transfer ourexperience and also criticallyenhance the speed and quality oflearning that we achieve in newoperations. In HMV, we are cur-rently investing huge funds to en-sure our systems- help ourmanagers drive the business andserve the customer better.
Uncertainty in the marketThe last major challenge we needto deal with is the uncertaintyWithin the market itself. Thisuncertainty is shared by majormarkets around the world. We all
face major shifts in formats. Vinylis dying. It is unlikely that vinylwill be manufactured for verymuch longer and my personalview is that it will disappear com-pletely by the mid -'90s.
Others are able to commentmore authoritatively on the pro-spects for new formats, but I seethe rate and pace of developmentsas increasing rather than stabilis-ing. This challenges retailers, par-ticularly if they have not spentthe necessary time and moneyimproving their merchandising.Vinyl was always the easiest pro-duct to merchandise and itsdemise will force all of us to bemore imaginative and resourcefulon merchandising issues.
Suppliers are going to have tothink about this issue too. I hopethey consult retailers. Just reduc-ing the artwork from vinyl albumsto CD and cassette size was clearlycost-efficient for manufacturingbut was never efficient for retailmerchandising and I think it willhave proved to be an illusoryeonomy.
As I mentioned at the outset,the retailer also has to face up toentirely new concepts of music
Is video truly collectable - likebooks and records? What moti-vates the video consumer? Howdo consumers use video and howcan they be segmented? How im-portant is price? Does the sellingof video add or detract from amusic retailer's brand image? Ourresponse to these issues has beentwofold'. firstly to independently
customer service, will undoubted-ly survive and prosper.
Europe already offers a marketof 330 million prosperous con-sumers, many avid consumers ofmusic With the changes weobserve in Eastem Europe thatcould grow to 8W million, maybenot tomorrow, but certainlywithin the decade No retailer can

research video consumers andsecondly to develop a limitednumber of "Video Zone" storesso that we can see where video asa retailing concept takes us.
Looking aheadSo, looking ahead, I am indeedexcited about the possibilities inEurope I think the music retailmarket will undergo major struc-tural change There will be an in-creasing real choice presented tothe music consumer, perhaps forthe first time in some markets. In
"The major music markets of the world- Europe, North America and Japan -will become the battlefields of musicretailing in the '90s."product delivery including, forexample, Personics from the USand the potential down -loading ofmusic via satellite At HMV wetake the view that we should notshy away from technologicaldevelopments that might seemthreatening at first sight. Thatwon't make them go away. It is farbetter to embrace them from theoutset and see where that leads us.
VideoMany people ask me for my viewsregarding video. Is there a long-term future in retailing video?Frankly, I am undecided. What Ido know is that video will gothrough significant formatchange over the next 10 years, butI don't at this stage have a view asto how the video sell -throughmarket will develop. The assump-tion that the video sell -throughcustomer and the music customerare the same is, I think, wrong.Retailers have to learn a lot moreabout the sell -through videocustomer. We are asking the ques-tions at HMV but still looking forthe answers.
the end he will decide who mostably meets his need.
Many independents went out ofbusiness in the 1980s and the highcost of operating in prime retailareas and the increasing profes-sionalism and intensity of com-petition will continue this process.Those independents who special-ise in a particular market niche,however, by creating authoritativereputations and offering good
ignore the possibilities. Alreadycountries such as Germany, nowunified, and Hungary, which hasbecome commercially much moreliberal in recent years, representmarkets of special interest toretailers who wish to gain wideraccess into the East.
Finally, a word about our sup-pliers. I believe that the majorrecord suppliers are much momprofessional than many retailersgive them credit for. Most that Ihave met, and I have met many,are passionate about music I
hope that as suppliers developtheir European organisations andobviously take advantage ofeconomies of scale, they retainthat passion. I hope they continueto embrace the richness and diver -sly of Europe and resolutelymaintain local promotion faci-lities.
We need, all of us, to ensurethat local talent has the oppor-tunity to develop and acquiresponsorship. It is the lifeblood ofour industry. It is in the interest ofthe music industry that we do soand is the mutuality by which sup-plier retailer and the customer arebound. 111

Now what do I hear on thegrapevine about your friends andmine, Milli Vanilli. So far the boyshave, according to managerKarsten Heijn, had several offersfor recording deals, been offeredparts in a couple of films, and ap-proached for the rights to a bookon their story Can't complainabout that, can you?
Mystery surrounds the suddendeparture of DJ Johnnie Walkerfrom his evening show at the
BBC's Greater London Radio.The official explanation is thatWalker had been finding it dif-ficult to combine his GLR eveningshow with a morning show onRadio 5 three days a week. Butcertain remarks he made duringhis show on the day that MargaretThatcher resigned probably didn'thelp.
Talking of the resignation, notonly did UK commercial radiobeat the BBC hands down when itcame to breaking the news, butCounty Sound also achievedmother first. At 10.45, just overan hour after the official news, thestation aired a hurriedly writtenand recorded commercial whichbegan "Well, that's it. GoodbyeMrs Thatcher. It really is the endof an em. But whatever happensat Westminster, there are one ortwo things that are a little morereliable than politics - like theprices at One Acre Carpets"
Thatcher's resignation was alsotoo much for pop -star and self -publicist Jonathon King, whorecorded a version of the old Ho-neybus hit I Can't Let Maggie Gowithin Mans of the announcement.
Now I don't usually giveplugs... but I just wanted to sayhow pleased I am that E.M.F. arehaving such success with thefabulous Unbelievable, which I
thought was really weird the firsttime round I heard it, but has nowseeped so into my conciousnessthat I find myself singing it in thebath. An unlikely, but worthwhilehit, and nice to see something elsein the UK and Dutch charts otherthan songs riding on the back of
films, TV series or adverts! AndI'd also like to say a big welcomeback to Kim Appleby and her veryjolly singalong Don't Worry.
So how many people in Europewill receive at least one of thefollowing collections for Christ-mas: Files John's The Very BestOf ; Madonna's The Immacu-late Collection; or Phil Collins'Serious Hits... Live!. Judging bythe way they are leaping up thecharts, practically everyone I
would guess.Now before I launch into the
amtiversarice, I must give mysincere apologies for wishingDennis Wilson and Harry Chapinhappy birthday a couple of weeksago. Thank you to everyone whorang me to point out the faux pas.
And so to this week's com-memorations: Keith Richards willbe 47 on December 18 while BillyBing will be 33 on December 20.Frank Zapper is 50 on December21 and another Beach Boy, CadWilson, is 44. The brothers Gibb,Robin and Maurice are 41 onDecember 22 and Andy Summersis 48 on December 24. Annie Len-nox is 36 on Christmas Day, andPhil Spector is 50. Perfect foryour holiday programming!
Talking of Christmas, well its
MAKING WAVES
ok to mention it now, Vanilla Ice'sIce Ice Baby must be the mostunlikely UK Christmas no. 1
record in ages. Well, I suppose"ice" does have something to dowith winter, but it's hardly in thesame league as Slade's MerryChristmas Everybody, or allthose other glam rock numbersfrom the early 1970s! But it's con-gratulations to Spain's Merano,nu 1 in France with Use FemmeAvec Une Femme. Incidently, inSpain, the top spot goes toAtavrtdpa's Ultimo Imperio.
So as 1991 approaches, here's asneak a preview of the year's
overall biggest sellers; women didvery, very well indeed! All will berevealed net week, and them are afew surprises in store You will alsoget the results of my own readerspoll and week, as well. What afumy old lot you are ... especiallyin your predictions for 1991!
Talking of holidays, seems likethere is a possiblity of me taking alongish break in the near futureAt Icest the boss has suggested Imight like to go and do a bit ofmorale boosting in the Gulf. Willkeep you posted...

MD and director of program-mes, Mathias Combesi "RadioVitamin's slogan is 'naturally',so that gives some idea of thetone I want to give to the station.I'm not interested in anythingartificial. I'm a firm believer inthe concept of local radio.
"Our concept and style aregeared towards that end. We'recurrently leaders in the Varregion - an area noted for itshigh concentration of national
networks. We are leaders in the15-25 and 34.49 age groups,which proves our format is ap-preciated bye wide audience.
"In fact our programming isdesigned to appeal to everyoneour morning shows play a
French/Anglo American mix of60:40, and a high percentage ofgold tracks. The approach ismore popular, more AM style.From 14.00 to 22.00 it's moreFM, with an emphasis on dance
product, and only about 30%oFrench product.
"I make up the playlist,titles, and always include a widerange of artists. I'm more likely toturn to Meal retailers for inspirelion than national or intema-tional charts: a local radio stationneeds to stay dose to its listeners.
"I don't use a panel, but wehave plenty of daily contact withour audience, so we get an idea ofwhat they want and what theydon't want. A panel could beuseful if you want to know whento bring a particular record off theplaylist, but not for new releases.
"All our programming is donemanually; we do not use a com-puter. Our jingles come hem acompany in Paris. Currently theonly syndicated show we use isAntoine de Cause's 'MarlboroMusic'. We've been running thatfor about a year.

"Promotion wise, our activitiesare extremely varied. We cover allthe local football and rugby,organise galas and shows with na-tional artists, back film premieresand have a range of events forstudents.
"As for the future, I'm not go-ing to make any wild predictions.But as long as our format workswellfor the region, which it does,then I don't see any reason tochange ill' 0

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL METAL BAND OF 1990
NEW SINGLE - BRING YOUR DAUGHTER ... TO THE SLAUGHTER - RELEASED 24th DECEMBER
LOUD 'N' PROUD
From The Metal Ghetto to The Mainstream?Heavy metal is still
the poor relation onEuropean radio, despite
its popularity in terms ofsales. Paul Andrews looks
at the way hard rockmusk is still confined to
the off-peak slots, andwhat could be done to
improve its position.
Comparatively few stationsin Europe do programmeheavy metal music, and
those that do typically hide itaway in a weekly mid -evening slotof no more than an hour or two,safely sheltered from the ears ofmainstream audiences. Thosewho really want to headbang tothe radio have to hunt it withsome determination.
But they turn out to be cateredfor by a dedicated band of Oh,devoted to their music andresolute in their mission to pro-mote it. One such is VolkmarKlemm, whose two-hour show"Scream", caters for an estimated
v°1krn.' vnvwe
audience of 200.000 listeners toCologne's WDR every other Tues-day night.
"I try to make it more than justa music programme' saysKramarz. "Every edition includesan interview, usually live, and weare always running features onissues related to the music!'
As for the records, he makes apoint of encouraging emergingtalent, with as much as two-thirdsof the show devoted to new tracks,divided equally between the latestreleases from established acts andthe work of "unknowns". For theremaining third he falls back onestablished and classic tracks;thrash, trash and speed all featurealongside "softer" hard rock.German bands am particularly

encouraged, and as a producerKramarz regularly records ses-sions for airing on the show.
IsolationNevertheless, despite his own en-thusiasm, and the fact that Ger-many is indisputably one of thebiggest markets for metal inEurope, Kramarz says he feelshimself "very isolated" in theradio scene
"Thera are a few other showsaround, but like mine they are on-ly a couple of hours a week orfortnight, and most are on thepublic stations - and even then notall of them. Thera are some even-ing heavy rock shows on theprivates, but they'll never playthrash or anything avant-garde'
Programmers, the radio esta-blishment and record companiesface equal blame, Kramarz says."Here at WDR you hear very lit-tle heavy stuff outside my show.Occasionally they slip the oddtrack into the afternoon or even-ing mainstream programming,but only from well -establishedbands, like the Scorpions, andthen not usually in proportion totheir actual success!"
Ironically, one of the few otherplaces where heavy sounds areregularly to be heard is on anotherof WDR's weekly shows,"Soundfabrik", which airs demotapes from unsigned bands -
showing up the grass roots enthu-siasm for the gem
Otherwise, things look bleakfor metal, even in Germany,reckons Kramarz. "Heavy metalreally is on a down at themoment' he says. "There's a lotof hostility towards it from all themedia, especially with all the talkabout backmasking and theJudasPriest case'
The issue has been covered on"Scream", he adds, but moreinfluential was a recent TV debateon the subject. It featured Ent-stumende Nenbanten, who as
Kramarz points out "are anavant-garde punk band, not heavymetal at all. But that is what theprogramme chiefs and the peoplewho influence them see andthink!'
He certainly reckons privateradio is scared. "They are all soanxious about losing their au-dience, that people will hear onemetal record and turn off", hebelieves, adding that while the sizeof the market might make that
seem surprising, "they don't seemto think the people who'll turn onfor rock are as valuable an au-dience'
Record label support"We have a good relationshipwith record companies;' saysKramarz, "and they are releasinga lot of music, some of which isvery good. But very few give itmuch support.
"I would rather they put outthree releases instead of 10, antigave those their full backing, fun-ding concerts, tours and appear-enc.!'
The paradox, he feels, is thatcompanies expect specialist DJslike him to pick up on tracks forairplay before they will make adeeper commitment, while with-out back-up such as widespreadrecord distribution or gigs there islittle mom involvement that fanscan taken follow up the interest itarouses.
But most of all, he feels hisfellow DJs should have thecourage to break heavy rock outits ghetto slots - with perhaps evenits survival at stake, "I would liketo have a few more brave col-leagues who don't just play thesame thing all day, but give achance to some new sounds.Otherwise, within a few yearsyoung people will be lost to thiskind of music because they'venever had a chance to sample it:'
From the other end of thebusiness, and another market,Roland Hyams also senses a lackof courage about rock on radio.As a manager and publicity agentfor bands including Iron Maidenand Uriah Heap, as well as severalemerging acts, Items describeshimself as "extremely depressed"over the lack of rock airplay inthe UK.
The UK situation'BBC Radio 1 is just not
adventurous enough. It has theTommy Vance show, but that'slate at night. Otherwise, with veryfew exceptions, they just won'tplay hard rock. I think they'rescared all the housewives will tuneaway the instant they hear any -which is a terrible underestima-tion of the capacity of housewivesor the rest of their audience to ap-preciate rock:' says Hyams.
"What annoys me is that if youanalyse the world music market,heavy rock and metal form the
largest segment. It may be an ac-quired taste, but it's so popular:
Hyams, too, senses a paradox,but this one stemming from Bri-tain's paramount station. "It's achicken and egg situation. Bandsare usually told they can't get onthe playlist anal they're in the Top40, but it's virtually impossible tomake the Top 40 unless you're onRadio 1.
"What's more, we actuallymanaged to get Iron Maiden tono. 3 in the UK, through touring,building a live following, andRadio I still didn't add it. Wewent up the wall about that!'
ILR stations are equallyunreceptive. "You get the one -hour specialist rock shows, pro-grammed into fairly obscure timeslots, but apart from that, theycopy the Radio 1 playlist virtuallymeetly. They think it's whateveryone is listening to, and theydon't want to scare the adver-tisers!' He is particularly scathingabout London's Capital FM,which he claims has virtuallydropped any rock from theschedule to take on die city'sspecialist dance stations head on.
Hymns backs EMAP Metro'sbid for a Rock FM to take over theforthcoming national FM fran-chise, though this project nowappears to have been killed by thegovernme. 's famous "pop defi-nition" amendment to the Broad-casting Bill. Rock, it would seem,has been squeezed out by theregulators, who count it as"pop", and the programmers,who don't.
This "opportunity thrownaway", as Hyams puts it, looks setto leave heavy rock at the mercy ofa current system that is "justtotally arbitrary.
"There is just so much talentout there that is missing out on achance to be heard, and unless wecan get them known the hard way
through touring, the specialistpress and word of mouth - inorder to give them a chance tomake it!"
"It's such a grey area: mostprogrammers don't understandthe genre, and their attitude to ametal record seems to dependmom on how they feel when theyput together the playlist. The onlywaS, to cope is to assume thatheavy rock will never get main-stream airplay, so that you canmake the most of it when onedoes slip through:'

Aiming For Hard And Heavy AirplayTraditionally ignored bymainstream radio, hard
rock has, perhaps, themost loyal ran base of any
popular music genre.Chris White speaks to a
cross section of heavymetal labels about howthey are promoting this
winter's priority releases.
ARM RECORDSPriority releases:. Extreme, Pornograffitti
Label manager Bert de Railer:"Our priority developing act inthis area at the moment are Ex-treme, and were currently work-ing their second album. Althoughthey are hard rock in style, theirsongs are very melodic The cur-rent single Decadence Dance is, inmy opinion, suitable for specialistprogrammes as well as daytimeradio.
"Nunu Bettencourt, the band'sguitar player, who has workedwith Janet Jackson, and vocalistGary Cherone will be doing pro-motion in Norway, Italy, Ger-many and Holland during lateDecember, and a concert tour isbeing lined up for February.
"Obviously radio and press isvery important to breaking theband, and we are using FlyingRockman who are targeting thespecialised programmes and pressinitially, and from there aimtowards a wider audience base. Ifthere was mom formatted radio, itwould certainly be an effective

promotional tool for us and I alsobelieve that MTV can be of enor-mous help in establishing acts likeExtreme'
BMG/RCA HamburgPriority releases:. Zed Yago, tide the. Craaft, No Tricks Just Kicks
Exploitation manager KM Mas-ks: "These two priority acts areboth German, and in both cases itis their second album release sowe are building on earlier success.Zed Yago will be touring in sup-port of their LP in January butCraaft will be holding back untilafter the release of No Ricks JustKicks.
"Radio promotion is impor-tant but the problem of course isthat most stations won't play thiskind of music In Germany theream many music shows on televi-sion, but again, hard rock isusually ignored, so touring isoften the best way to promote theacts. The hard rock press is alsoan important part of marketingstrategy, particularly throughreviews and advertising cam-paigns:'

"Other priorities am bandsthat have new albums already out.These include US band Warrant,Judas Priest, whose current
album has sold more than 160.000units in Germany and Danishhard rock band Pretty Maids whohave gigs tined up in Germanyand Scandinavia. Living Colour'ssingle Love Rears Its Ugly Headhas just been released in Europe.They are currently working onputting together a major Euro-pean tour for spring!'

East West international A&Rmanager Dante &natio: "All ourheavy and hard rock releases aretreated as priorities, although wehave become selective about whatwe put out. Traditionally, thecompany has a tremendous trackrecord for success in this area ofmusic.
"It would be the ultimate thingto have a 24 -hour rock station inthe UK but I don't think thatthere is much prospect of that.BBC Radio 1 should certainlyallocate more airplay time toheavy rock, particularly duringthe day. DJs like Alan Freemanand Tommy Vance are very sup-portive, and we certainly don't

"Generally, it's obviously greatto get airplay but it should neverbe relied upon. Touring is still oneof the keys to success, and a lot ofthought goes into the actualpackaging of the product...things like coloured vinyl, posterbags and Batt -discs inserted intomagarines are very effective, but ithas to be done in a credible way.The fans can soon see throughany hype!'
EMI RECORDS UKPriority releases: Iron Maiden, No Prayer For
The Dying Queen, Innuendo. Queensryche, Empire
LOUD 'IV' PROUD
UK international marketing ma-nager for Europe, Neil Cox: "Thelatest Iron Maiden album hadalready sold more than 500.000units in Europe, excluding theUK, and we are aiming for at least750.000 sales by the end of thegroup's current European tour.
"The band are EMI UK'snumber one priority heavy metalact, and they are huge sellers inspite of the lack of radio airplay.They do get some late -night
airplay, but they can managewithout it.
"Radio in Europe should begiving heavy metal music moreairtime during the day because themusic has a massive followingand a lot of people are buying it,We are fortunate with a band likeIron Maiden because they alreadyhave a huge fan base but it can be
difficult for the lesser known acts.With this kind of music, becauseof the lack of radio apart; it ismuch more of a marketing job,releasing the product in differentformats.
"The new Queen album is duein January, their last album sold1.4 million units in Europe andthem will be a massive campaignfor Innuendo. Queen, Eke Iron
Iron Maiden
Maiden, will always sell records -radio airplay is obviously impor-tant but not essential. The titletrack is being released as a single,and as it is six minutes and'30seconds long we anticipate thatthere may be some problems withradio.
"There will also be new al-bums, as yet untitled, from Hello-ween and WASP, in February andwe are hoping to get the bands outon tour to promote theme

MD Paul Birch: "Because of thelack of radio airplay support, pro-motion at retail level is still vitallyimportant What has to beremembered is that radio is notthere to help record companiessell records but to satisfy listeners'demands. Of course what peoplewarn and like, and what they get,are two different things.
"I have noticed a significant in-
crease in interest in rock broad-casting among companies likeourselves. There are a lot of peo-ple who want to hear rock musicon the radio, and their demandsevil have to be met eventually.FM -Revolver manages to getairplay on the specialist rock pro-grammes, but it is not getting oneplay that really matters - it is get-ting repeated airplay. That's what
The Atom Seed
makes an album into a big successat the end of the day!'

International press and promo-tions manager Ceri Nichols:"Our priority release in the heavyrock field is New Jersey trashmetal band Anthrax who havehad several gold status albums inthe US. After several years of
st,
MI LOUD 'N' PROUD
playing European festivals andtours, the band have been suppor-ting Iron Maiden in Europe andwe have worked the tour to fulleffect.
"About six weeks prior to thetour, band member Scott Ian dida two-week European press, radioand television promotional tour.By offering radio stations com-petitions, concert tickets and sign-ed lithographs of the albumsleeve, we were able to breakthrough the normal resistance togiving needletime to metal.
"We have also tried to breakbeyond the idea of merely havingvideos of live footage on TV bymaking innovative approaches toradio and TV. For example, wesuccessfully ran a competition inHolland under the caption, 'An-thrax will perform live in yourhome, and the band did in factplaya full live set in a garage inHilversum.
"The event was covered in fullby Dos TV and NCRV Radio,
Jingo de lama
and the same kind of event will berun in Milan with saturationcoverage by VideoMusie, and inFrance with M6.
"More coverage of metal musicon the airwaves to reflect thisthriving growth area of youthmusic would indeed he welcomeand, one would have thought, anatural response to demand.However we will continue to comeup with innovative approachesuntil the inevitable happens:'
PHONOGRAM GERMANYPriority releases: Jingo de Lunch, Underdog.
International manager Astrid Sal.ley: "We have no heavy metalreleases in the last quarter of 1990
but Jingo de Lunch's Underdog,released in September is still beingworked on as a priority. ThisCanadian band, fronted byYvonne Duckworth, was pre-
viously on an independent labeland Jingo de Lunch have
established a strong, reputation asone of the best heavy rock bandsplaying live in Germany
"Unfortunately this music isscarcely being played on Germanradio although we are ap-proaching all those stations withlate -night heavy metal program-mes. Heavy metal fans are themost loyal of all music fans, andshould be catered for by radio,after all you can't read the music,it has to be heard. We would liketo see the radio industry morerock -orientated, with more slotsfor hard and heavy music'

"With most hard rock acts inEurope, radio airplay has tradi-tionally been very hard to get sowe have had to evolve alternativeways of selling these records andhave circumvented the mho issueby going direct to the fans. Hardrock and heavy metal fans are avery informed, aware and dedi-cated audience, and if you can

isolate the other media whichreach this audience it is possible tosurvive without radio support.
"Obviously it is always betterto have that support and usuallyyou end up going to radio with thetried and true power ballad, ifthere is one on the album. Thesearen't the massive business inEurope that they are in the US butcan be smashes nonetheless. I'mlucky in having a number of reallystrong ballads this year on thealbums I'm working; The Scor-pions have a history of classic hitslike Still Loving You and there is atrack on this album called WindOf Change which fits thatcategory. The current Bon Jovisingle Miracle is also a ballad.
"If there isn't a radio -friendlytrack on the album, the only radiooutlet is speciality shows andthere just aren't enough of themin Europe. So, it is really down toalternative means of exposure in-cluding press, retail and television,both national video shows and thepan-European cables!"

Marketing manager at WarnerMusic Europe, Lars Toft "Theamount of radio airplay iswithout question a very importanttool in bringing an act to themarketplace. Looking at Europethem are gill many marketswithout TV possibilities, both interms of promotional and com-mercial TV, so consumer mar-keting on the radio is the mostdirect route to the consumer.
"On the other hand there is atendency to give promotion andlive appearances a higher statuswhen comparing the two, espe-cially when it comes to developingacts who are often viewed as'working bands'. Radio, though,remains the most importantcrossover tool from hard rock tothe mainstream audience.
"The obvious choice in terms
of targeting radio stations is thestations that run specialised pro-grammes with DJs that play hardrock in particular. Unfortunatelythere are no network stations witha hard rock format so specialisedradio is the way to air hard rockacts and it is also these DJs thatam serviced with promo samples,biographies etc
"The problem in most terri-tories, including the UK, is thatthem is no hard rock format to befound in national and private net-work radios. We would like to seethe future development of a net-work of private stations whichwould have a similar format to thespecialist hard rock press.
"Most of our priority acts thiswinter are bands that have alreadyhad a lot of success but obviouslynew signings like Notorious, whoam having immense success in theUS and are getting good airplayon the single in Europe, are alsobeing worked as priorities. Dur-ing and promotion work can alsobe a reason for working the acts,however, tours are plannedaround new releases to aid salesand not the other way around:':

LOUD 'N' PROUD
Putting Hard Rock In The PictureAs video becomes an
increasingly importantformat, the hard rockvideo magazine is alsogrowing in popularity.Paul Andrews looks at
the latest developments.
"T he sales potential ofheavy rock on videoH probably greater
than for any other genre, as aproportion of sales across allformats!'
That is how Martin Smith,sales and marketing manager ofindependent rock video producerand distributor Fotodisk, sums upthe appeal of his business. A hardcore of dedicated metal fans andunderexposure on broadcast TV,he explains, have combined tocreate a ready-made niche forFotodisk, and a big market forlarger companies with a heavyrock roster on video.
"Heavy Metal is probably theonly truly international ongoingpopular music genro' continuesSmith. "But it is also generallyrecognised as one of the musictypes worst served by TV andradio.
A single market"There's a very strong following,but until video came along, theiraccess toil was very poor, apartfrom going to live concerts. Evenwith MTV, unless they stay upuntil 03.00, the likelihood of see-ing anyone other than Bon foul isvery slim indeed!'
That's why Fotodisk movedinto the home video market some18 months ago, from a back-ground producing rock interviewpicture discs. The company nowreleases three or four titles amonth, mainly concert footageshot by its own production unit ofbands such as Celtic Frost,Napalm Death, Creator, Tiger
Gwar and Coroner.A pan-European distribution
network has already been setup,via similarly independent firmssuch as SIN in Germany,Boudis-que in the Benelux and VCI inSpain.
This international angle is im-portant: heavy rock seems to havea far greater appeal in many partsof continental Europe, comparedto other forms of music, than itdoes in the UK. With video itselfstill not as well established in Bri-
min, Smith feels rock could be aleading force in building a widermarket for the format.
"There has been a little cautionfrom most territories:' he says."The initial battle overseas is notwhether there's a huge market forrock, but whether they can sellmusic video at all. Once they doget involved, our distributors haveusually found that there is a ge-nuine market.
He considers the German-speaking territories especially fer-tile, and even Iceland, into whichthe company has just moved."There's something like a 70Vopenetration of VCRs into house-holds there, and a few weeks agoWhitesnake played live to about35.000 people, which as a propor-tion of the population [circa250.000] is enormous. Just putthose two facts together and youcan see the potential!'
Another area of "enormouspotential" is Fasten) Europe,Despite the administrative andtechnical problems (the need tomanufacture -tapes on a non-stan-dard Secam format), Fotodiskplans "to be moving in there asquickly as possible".
Meanwhile, though, its latestproject is in a different direction,with a bimonthly magazine,Metal XS, the second edition ofwhich has just been released.
CompetitionThis is no less than the third suchexample of a video product thatheavy metal really has made itsown. Market leader Hard 'N'Heavy, distributed by MCEGVirgin Vision,has now reached its10th issue; BMG's Metalheadis atVolume Ilvo.
"It's a format that suits metaldown to the ground:' says Virginmusic video manager JohnPaisley. "There's a solid fan basethat will buy the vast bulk of pro-duct. Metal fans are very loyal,obsessive almost!'
Their devotion has pushedHard 'N' Heavy's sales up to aclaimed 12.000 per issue, in theUK alone. Its identity has beenbuilt op through ventures such asthe sponsorship of the DoningtonMonsters Of Rock festival- whichin return netted exclusive footageof one of rock's most prestigiousand star-studded occasions.
Paisley, too, concedes themagazine's success mans morethan a littk to the lank of such
material in the other electronicmedia: effectively Had 'N'Heovytakes the place of a regularmetal show on broadcast TV.
At BMG, VP Adrian Workmanstresses the notion that the metalmagazines are as much "publica-tions" as a conventional musicpaper. "They're regular, varied,interesting and up-to-date - andthey have to be all those to be suc-cessful!'
"The directions of these maga-zines are diverse; if you look atthem they have their editorialstances. Once the consumerrecognises that he'll make ; hischoice. And I think with the heavymetal boys being such prolificconsumers, a lot will buy two oreven all three, to get a fuller pic-ture They often already get all the[written] mags!'
Taking the fans seriouslyBut he admits that Metalhead'ssales are still "building". "Wehave doubled our sales from thefirst to the second issue, which isencouraging - though it didn'ttake much. But as with any newpublication it will really take fiveor six issues to get off theground!'
One factor that might jolt HardHeavy's ascendancy is the
recent sudden departure offounder and editor -in -chief HarryDoherty. He left in a row overplans to feature a "video pin-up"calendar in the Christmas issue
Both Virgin and the producers,Directors International Video,deny any hint of indecency in thesequence However, it, and thesurrounding argument, highlightthe question of how seriouslyrock fans are really taken, even bythose who do service them. Mar-tin Smith has strong feelings onthe subject.
"For a long time, heavy rockfans have been underestimated interms of their intelligence level,even by those who do try to caterfor them in the video field asmuch as elsewhere. The rock fantakes his music seriously: I believehe really likes to see people whoare making serious commentsabout the artists and the music ingeneral, rather than this 'tits andbums' attitude.
"I think that makes ours thebetter product, and will be thesecret of our success. It's a lessonthe others would do well to learn -they should work out a way oftalking to their consumers with-out being patronising. The wholerock video industry would be bet-ter for it!'
