Alert "fortunate" in hard timesAccording to Alert Records' ManagingDirector, the key to 'indie' success isdiversification, patience, commitment, andgood distribution.

Lisa Zbitnew says while Canada'sindependent music industry has taken a fewknocks recently, "I try to be an optimist."She says that while these days are "definitelybleak times," they are hard times shared byall parts of society. "Retail in general ishurting . . . not just record retail. And it onlystands to reason that when retail is hurting,(it's) going to be taking less risks - andtightening up - and being much more safe inthe way they conduct business."

Zbitnew says she feels that "tighteningup" means that unknown acts will have aharder time breaking at the retail level. "Ithink it's much harder, today, to establish anew Canadian act than it was when we startedin '84. It takes a longer period of time, andmoney. At the same time the industry, atlarge, doesn't seem to be giving you as muchtime. It's a constant race to make sure thatyou've managed to establish an act before theindustry chooses to ignore it.

"As much as I'm an optimist, I do hopethat the business recognizes that in-dependents are suffering to a certain extentright now. I think it's more than coincidencethat independent companies are falling by thewayside, close to the same point in time. It'snot a good sign and it's not a healthy sign."

I.R.S. has set Sept. 28 as the release date tol World Keeps On Turning, the second album from Candi, to be followed in the U.S. on Oct. 2 and other territories shortly after.

The band features Candita Pennella, who is better known as Candi, drummer Paul

Russo and bassist Nino Milazzo, who took on the name The Backbeat during the recording

session. Candi gained much attention in Canada and internationally with the release

of her self -titled album in 1988. The album spawned four hit singles: Dancing Under The

the setting for a well -attended tribute to Mair and Harris (Reiner Schwartz, Program

HMV's Alofs believes

ing the presentation, FACTOR President Ann Graham pointed up that Mair's "wealth

of knowledge and expertise about the recording business served FACTOR and the

independent recording industry extremely well over the years," continuing with, "As a

champion of causes for the Canadian in- dustry, Al has offered to continue assisting

FACTOR and encouraged all present to `keep up the fight' for a prosperous

industry." Graham was equally complimentary to

Harris for his "invaluable guidance". in the

in "staggered releases" HMV Canada's President, Paul Alofs, says it

may not be a bad idea to schedule major releases in order to head off downturns in

music retail. "Our business has been very solid this

summer and we've been on plan," he says, "although retail, generally, has been

extremely slow. I think the music market, in terms of new releases, has been

disappointing." Alofs cites the autumn releases of acts

such as Paul Simon, Whitney Houston, George Michael, INXS and Michael Jackson

as welcome news. "There's just a million new releases - good, solid, powerful releases coming

. . . but they're all coming at basically

the same time in the fall. "The problem is compounded by the

fact that there are quite a few new releases coming out in the September,

October and November period," he says, commenting on the summer slowdown. "But

if the record companies would have planned these releases a little bit better, some

of the stuff that's almost going to go by the wayside

- in that period

- could have been big

hits in (the summer)." Invoking a scenario that has been

referred to often this season, Alofs says that old material has helped bolster sagging new -

release sales. "One of the reasons why we've done well through the summer is that we've done a lot of catalogue -oriented promotion,"

he says. He adds that classical music, jazz, blues,

dance and reggae have been areas of increas- ed focus of late - with most of the material

being catalogue. "A bit of recycling work I

guess . . . trying to make up for the lack of

hits."

Alert "fortunate" in hard times -

Zbitnew

According to Alert Records' Managing Director, the key to `indie' success is

diversification, patience, commitment, and good distribution.

Lisa Zbitnew says while Canada's independent music industry has taken a few

knocks recently, "I try to be an optimist." She says that while these days are "definitely

bleak times," they are hard times shared by all parts of society. "Retail in general is

hurting . . .

not just record retail. And it only stands to reason that when retail is hurting,

(it's) going to be taking less risks - and tightening up - and being much more safe in

the way they conduct business." Zbitnew says she feels that "tightening

up" means that unknown acts will have a harder time breaking at the retail level. "I

think it's much harder, today, to establish a new Canadian act than it was when we started

in '84. It takes a longer period of time, and money. At the same time the industry, at

large, doesn't seem to be giving you as much time. It's a constant race to make sure that

you've managed to establish an act before the industry chooses to ignore it. "As much as I'm an optimist, I do hope

that the business recognizes that in- dependents are suffering to a certain extent

right now. I think it's more than coincidence that independent companies are falling by the

wayside, close to the same point in time. It's not a good sign and it's not a healthy sign."

She adds that "The industry must start recognizing that support should kick in once

again for the independent music scene." I3ut with all the troubles around, Alert

has been able to weather the current storm favourably. "We're fortunate in that we are

also a management and publishing company. We have active touring bands - like Kim

Mitchell and The Box - that are very suc-

cessful. So at various points in time, one facet of Alert Music Inc. is helping out another

facet . . .

we've done extremely well from a publishing standpoint." Alert is currently enjoying what Zbitnew

believes is its most successful roster ever. "Kim Mitchell's album, I Am A Wild Party

(No. 24 on this week's RPM 100) is doing extremely well." She says that Mitchell's Canadian tour this summer has increased his

nationwide appeal -resulting in the doubling of previous attendance records for his

concerts in some centres out West. "We have the Holly Cole Trio record

(Girl Talk - No. 43 this week on RPM), which, I think, will be the sleeper hit of the year." Zbitnew says that the success of Girl

Talk has come "despite the lack of virtually any radio airplay outside of the CBC." She also cites the success of rocker Andy Curran,

whose self -titled debut album is No. 79 this week on RPM, and of The Box. The 28 -year

old exec says while The Box's current album has "sold less than expected." Alert is

expecting big things from the next single and from an Autumn full of touring. The Box will

be released this October in the U.S. by Capitol -EMI, the Halifax native says.

saying. Anyway, it was back last September,while sitting around a roaring fire inOntario's Northland when Stan Klees madethe prediction . . . the exact prediction of whowould be heading what. Come to think of it, Ihear Stan is available for consultations.(EC: Between sailings . . . that is . . . !)

I like the Globe And Mail . . . No matterwhat The Foth and The Dunf say (EC: Theycall it professional jealousy . . . !) nicereadable layout, great interest -gettingheadlines . . . and the language, wow . . . realneat. More writers should shed their Vic-torian ways and bring themselves into the20th century. I read a recent Fifth Column byWest Coaster Brian Fawcett, who was goingon and on and on about cellular phones . . .

not my favourite topic. But, there, buriedclose to the end of the piece . . . andhyphenated no less, was the word"dickhead", prefaced with, get this,"insensitive" . . . WOW! (EC: It should havebeen capitalized . . . "insensitive" that is!)

Trouble in the Country ... ? Oh Ho, what'sthis I hear about a recent award show wheresomeone objected, rather loudly, from theaudience that one award might have beenpecker -influenced. (EC: Never heard of sucha thing . . . dickhead maybe - Source: GlobeAnd Mail . . !)

Shuffle in radio land . . . ? When there'ssome high-ranking shuffling going on in thebroadcast field ... you know, platinum boot,golden handshake, it's always played down.One guy in particular has moved on . . . andout, and his former secretary must have beenglad to see him go. She must have some dirton him. Too bad we're just a trade paper.(EC: Why should that stop you . . . !)

fashions are for models only! Have younoticed that most of the people in the fashionbusiness look like an open closet? Even thedesigners . . . well most of them . . . look likethey're wearing hand-me-downs. At therecent Manstyle fashion show and galaawards presentation, emcee, GQ publisherMichael Clinton looked very svelte . . . hecouldn't help but look good, he's a runner,and Toronto Life publisher Peter Hernndorf,one of the most important people ever in themusic industry . . . was a knockout . . . andthat wasn't a rented tux either, I'm sure. Butthen along came Toronto's Mayor . . . andwhat can I say. He must have had a hard dayat the office. There he was . . . in front of acouple of thousand people of the cloth (EC:A pun, I'm sure . . . !) and he looked like anun-made bed. (EC: He was obviously on asympathy kick, looking for support of somekind . . .!)

Is the Grizzly hiding ... ? I wanted to findout the facts . . . the real facts about therecent embarrassment in Calgary, so I wentto the horse's . . . mouth, so to speak. Hehasn't returned my call. Boy .. . he's learningfast. In this business they can't rememberyour last hit if you haven't kept the lines ofcommunication open . . . or whatever elsethey expect. (EC: You're not suggesting thatsomething is amiss . . . ?)

The sudsers are complaining . ! Howmuch is too much? Rumblings overheard atmore than a few board meetings by a major

supplier of "promo suds" that "enough isenough". Watch for a pull -back on freebiesfor those record launches and all the otherrecord company activities. (EC: Maybe we'llget back to those classy receptions . . . !)

GP is outta the kitchen . . . ! Watch fornews of the return to the business of a onetime exec to manage an act that could becomea big name in the international field.(EC: Depending on which way you look at it,that's a step up . !)

Who's got the balls . . . ? A disgruntledpromotion person has a novel way oftelling programmers what he thinks. He'sconsidering sending out a couple of MaxfliMD golf balls to the programmers "whodon't seem to have the balls to play myproduct!" Why consider it . . . do it!

The old man is taking charge ... ! Amidrumours of strife at the head office, whichprompted one industry observer to suggest"The old man must have his head in the sand,not to know what's going on . . . " (EC: Thatwas you . . . !) Well, forget that. The'old manis back . . . and he's in charge . . . and he'sflexing his muscles . . . and the bloom is offthe rose . . . and (EC: Enough already!)

The better way . . . Kudos to BMG forcoming up with a promotional idea differentfrom all the others. The BMG crew arrangedfor ex -Eurythmic Dave Stewart to toolaround Toronto in a red rocket, packed withmedia types. They stopped traffic, draggedpeople in off the street and everybody had agreat time. Rob Garner did a nice job packingthe lunch boxes too. (EC: A nice touch, butdid it keep the streetcar clean . . . ?)

Stompin' Tom ... 30 feet tall ! If youhappen to be in the downtown section ofToronto . . . Church and Dundas, to beexact, take a look north and you'll see thebiggest Stompin' Tom you'll ever see.

Now undercontract as publicist for Ontario Place, theeloquent Harbury still shines with enthusiasmfor her life and work.

Harbury's career in music startedhumbly, and almost accidentally, in 1969. "Iwas washing dishes at (legendary folk club)the Riverboat for a few days to help out," sheremembers, "and the second waitress left outof the blue and I became second waitress.Eventually the head waitress left and I foundmyself being head waitress and running theclub."

After four and half years at theRiverboat, Harbury moved on - and on. Sheworked for a record producer and atToronto's Eastern Sound, went back to beinga waitress for a spell, and became managerfor Peter Pringle and Micah Barnes. Sheworked for Duke Street Records, and thendid some work for publicist Joanne Smale,"which started as a few days and ended upbeing 20 months." She counts as highlightsof her career some of the projects she was in-

working on Toronto's Artists AgainstApartheid festival and touring the countrywith the Moscow Circus. "I loved the

Behind the scenes in the music business

Independence the key to a healthy, happy publicist

Jane Harbury's long career in the music business has taken her through just about

every facet of the industry, from nightclub to recording studio to record label. Now under

contract as publicist for Ontario Place, the eloquent Harbury still shines with enthusiasm

for her life and work. Harbury's career in music started

humbly, and almost accidentally, in 1969. "I was washing dishes at (legendary folk club) the Riverboat for a few days to help out," she

remembers, "and the second waitress left out of the blue and I became second waitress.

Eventually the head waitress left and I found myself being head waitress and running the club."

After four and half years at the Riverboat, Harbury moved on -

and on. She worked for a record producer and at

Toronto's Eastern Sound, went back to being

worked for Duke Street Records, and then did some work for publicist Joanne Smale,

Name rockers support Armenian disaster fund

In the latest show of rock 'n' roll altruism, an all-star cast of rock heavyweights has been

asembled to aid victims of the devasting 1989 Armenian earthquake.

British independent labels Big Wave Records and Harp Beat have put together

The Earthquake Album, a compilation of classic and newer tracks by such bands as

Free, Rush, Black Sabbath, Genesis, Iron Maiden, Yes and Emmerson, Lake & Palmer.

The album, distributed in Canada by Quality Special Products, has been "a huge hit in

Europe," reaching the Top 10 of the U.K. compilation charts, according to Jennifer

Baldock, Quality's Marketing Manager. A single from the album, Smoke On The Water '90, a supergroup reworking of the Deep Purple classic, was released to radio the week of August 20. It features, among

others, guitarists Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple), Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Tony

Iommi (Black Sabbath), Alex Lifeson (Rush) and Brian May (Queen); vocalists Bryan

Adams and Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden); bassist Chris Squire (Yes); keyboardist Keith

Emmerson (ELP) and Geoff Downes (Asia); and drummer Roger Taylor (Queen).

a lot more into something when you believe." Harbury's interests are diverse. In

addition to handling publicist duties at Ontario Place, she works with Quantum Records (home to Steve Fox, Mad About

Plaid and Look People), works with singer/songwriter Marc Jordan and

orchestrated the publicity for Bruce McDonald's Canadian rock 'n' roll road

movie, Roadkill. It's not surprising that Harbury says the

most challenging part of her job is finding time for everything. "You have to just make

priorities. Whatever has to be done at that moment, you do, and everything else takes its

place in order. It's a balancing act, and it's something you have to learn how to do." But

despite hard work and long hours, she loves her job. "I haven't had any bad experiences.

That's the honest truth...The biggest challenge is never having enough time, always

being under the wire. I'll have three weeks to do something where ideally three months

would be best." In spite of problems such as the weather

(Toronto has had one rain -free weekend this summer), Harbury enjoys working at Ontario

Place. "I can't imagine a nicer place to be," she says, adding that among the performers

who have passed through this summer have been such "super people" as Barry White and the Smothers Brothers.

When the Ontario Place season ends in September, Harbury says she is looking for-

ward to working again with Marc Jordan, whose single, Edge Of The World, is a rising

Canadian and U.S. hit. "He's a wonderful person and a most concerned citizen. I enjoy

working with him." She is also looking for- ward to several film projects, including

Highway 61, the follow-up to Roadkill. "The joy of working on your own," she concludes, "is that you can pick and choose. You can do

things you believe in."

BMG and TTC capture Stewart spiritual psyche

BMG Music Canada threw a spirited party this week to focus attention on Dave

Stewart's new solo career. He was in Toronto (Aug 20) to promote his new project, Dave

Stewart & The Spiritual Cowboys. This is the first time in many years that the

guitarist/writer/singer has been out to pre- sent music without his long-time partner,

Annie Lennox. While, as the Eurythmics, the duo was no stranger to the press or the charts, this time Stewart wanted to take his music to the street.

"Dave has a firm grasp on the image he wants to project," says BMG's Rob Garner. "He's a great self -promoter

. . he sort of

took over." What Stewart "took over" was a street-

car full of Toronto media people, on a two- hour tour of the downtown core. While the

event's first hour was the typical interview routine, the second 60 minutes was more a

circus than a press conference.

Garner says Stewart likes the streets, and he proved that by getting out of the tram and

inviting several people aboard - much to the delight of the participants and the media. He

also stopped the vehicle on busy Queen Street to chase a woman into a furniture shop. The

resulting traffic jam caused laughs for those watching, but headaches for the transit

official on board. Joining Stewart was his manager, Kenny

Smith, and a handful of BMG staff: National Media Relations' Susan Desmarais, Manager

of National Video Promotions and A&R Ken Bain, Ontario Merchandizers Ken Berry and

Warren Copnick, Garner and Arista Label Manager Jim Campbell. Says Garner, "I

think it went really well." Party Town, the first single taken from

the album, is featured in the film Flatliners. A shipping date of Sept. 10 has been set for

the album.

No. 1 and climbing . . . ! Mariah Carey'sVision Of Love widened its margin atop theHit Tracks chart. Look for it to remain No. 1for at least two more weeks. Most likely tobattle as a new No. 1 will be Wilson Phillips'Release Me and Janet Jackson's Come BackTo Me. The latter bullets to No. 5 this week,one spot better than her previous release,Alright, which peaked at No. 6. WilsonPhillips' previous release, Hold On, peakedat No. 3.

Trivia ... Michael Bolton's Georgia On MyMind is the latest cover version to make theHit Tracks chart. How many other coverversions currently on the Chart can youname? There are 71/2 remaining.

Hitting new heights ... ! The Skydiggers' IWill Give You Everything is getting strongsupport from AC radio. That support haspushed it up to No. 39. That's 11 spots higherthan its original peak at No. 50. GloriaEstefan's Cuts Both Ways has also surpassedits original peak as this week it climbs toNo. 38. However, it doesn't appear as if itwill go much higher.

Top adds ... ! James Ingram has this week'shighest entry as I Don't Have The Heartdebuts at No. 65. Also returning to the chartthis week is Santana with Gypsy Woman en-tering at No. 77. Two others hoping their newreleases will do better than their previousones are Linda Ronstadt and Lisa Stansfield.After two straight Top 10 hits, Ronstadt'sWhen Something Is Wrong With My Babypeaked at No. 29. Her latest, Adios, entersthis week at No. 78. Stansfield had a Top 5smash with All AroundThe World. However,You Can't Deny It peaked at No. 14. Herlatest release, This Is The Right Time, debutsthis week at No. 96.

Capitolizing on success . . . ! MCHammer held on to the top album spot, butby a very narrow margin. Look for WilsonPhillips to take over that spot next week.Capitol Records is probably very pleased withthat battle. With The Pretty Woman sound-track in the third spot, Capitol now has theTop 3 albums and six of the Top 8 with theacquisition of the rights to Concrete Blondeas of Sept. 1.

From the court to the bank ... ! It seemsthat controversy has nothing but positiveeffects for a few artists. Certainly beinghelped by all the publicity is Luther "Luke"Campbell, whose solo album, featuring 2Live Crew, is sure to be a big success. Itdebuts this week at No. 41.

COVER STORY by Jill Lawless Gowan returns with a meaner

For many artists, the hardest part of their job is the waiting, the agonizing delays that the

business of music often enforces. Lawrence Gowan is no exception. Three years after the release of his last album, Great Dirty World,

he is finally seeing his latest Columbia release, Lost Brotherhood, and its debut single, All The Lovers In The World, scale

the charts. And none too soon, as far as he is concerned. In the midst of rehearsing to take

his show on the road, Gowan is raring to go, and eager to discuss his new album.

Lost Brotherhood is something of a departure for Gowan, noted in the past for

his elaborate keyboard arrangements. The new album sports a leaner sound, thanks in part to the guitar work of. Alex Lifeson

(Rush) and Kenny Greer (Red Rider). "On a lot of the songs there was more space taken up with the two guitars, so they didn't need a lot of the extra little keyboard bag of tricks," he explains. "They were fine just playing

them with a piano or straight organ and adding that to the guitars. The performances

of the more traditional band instruments were strong enough to carry the songs, so they didn't need any particular little sonic

hooks." Guitars feature more prominently than

on previous Gowan albums. He says his association with Lifeson and Greer turned

out to be more important to the album than he had imagined. "I sent Alex three demo

songs, and he called back in a week and said he had prepared parts for them already, and

said he'd do the songs on the record if I was happy with what they sounded like. I was

very happy...He'd done things that I, not be- ing a guitar player, could only imagine."

The collaboration blossomed from there. "He eventually played on just about every track," says Gowan enthusiastically.

"It was the same with Kenny Greer. As we started working together, we got more and

more involved with trying to make it sound like a cohesive band."

The album, essentially completed by the end of 1989, won Gowan a signing with

Atlantic Records in the United States, who then decided on a summer release. The delay

allowed him to explore yet another avenue that intrigued him: songwriter collaboration. His partner was Eddie Schwartz, author of

songs for The Doobie Brothers, Joe Cocker, Pat Benatar and Paul Carrack. "That was a very different experience for me," he reflects.

"I've always wanted to try collaborating with people. I've tried unsuccessfully in the past.

Eddie has written with so many people, in so many styles, that I wondered what it would

be like to work with him. The two of us got together and just sort of jammed on each

other's ideas. That took three or four weeks, and we came up with nothing. Then suddenly

in a couple of weeks we pounded out four songs.

"I don't know why we suddenly turned the corner, but it seems it just takes a couple of weeks to relax in front of the other person

and let your ideas flow." The collaboration resulted in The Dragon, a brooding reflection

on environmental destruction, and the hit

. . leaner sound

single All The Lovers In The World. Lyrically, Lost Brotherhood pulls no

punches. Holding This Rage is a meditation on the violence in Northern Ireland. "Anger

is such a powerful force, such a motivator. It's a shame that anger is passed on from one

generation to the next. Holding onto the rage of people who have gone before isn't going to do you any good at all...There are better

things to spend your anger on." The Dragon is an ominous vision of the state of the world.

"The tendency when you're writing any kind of awareness song is to make it kind of

sappy," Gowan says. "You tend to lean toward folky sentiments. We wanted to make

the song as dark and sombre as possible...We felt that if you're going to hit people with any

kind of message, you'd better hit them really hard, or else they're not going to listen to

you." Gowan says all his energies now are

focused on translating Lost Brotherhood into a live performance. "It took three years for

this record to come out, so my whole focus is on it," he says. "I've had a real withdrawal

from performance the last couple of years, and I've got to get out in front of people

again. I've got to see people again," he laughs.

O'Connor takes on the media in Toronto Prior to her August 17 concert in front of

18,000 fans at Toronto's CNE Grandstand, Chrysalis recording artist Sinead O'Connor

took time to answer reporters' questions at a packed press conference at the downtown

Lee's Palace nightclub.

The London -based Irish singer fielded questions about her quintuple platinum

album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got. Despite the fact that the album has sold more

than six million copies worldwide and racked up two hit singles in Nothing Compares 2 U

and The Emperor's New Clothes, O'Connor said she does not want to be seen as someone with a special talent.

In response to the often pointed ques- tions of the assembled reporters (one told her

off for smoking a cigarette, another accused her of being "snippy"), O'Connor said she felt she has been branded as aggressive by the

media "because I'm a woman with no hair and I speak my mind." Although she has

been pegged as a "political" songwriter, she said her songs are reflections of her

personal experience.

In addition to recording, O'Connor recently made her acting debut as a 15 -year

old schoolgirl in the Irish feature Hush -A - Bye Baby. She also produced the music for the film.

Canada is the singer's largest per capita market. In addition to 500,000 copes of I

Don't Not Want . . . ,

her debut album, The Lion And The Cobra, has sold 150,000 copies

in this country. O'Connor's North American tour, with Canadian dates in Toronto,

Montreal and Vancouver, wraps up Sept. 1.

As Jim (JJ) Johnston,Program Director of the station, explains,"The Fox was once again out at the concretecamp feeding the lineups with pizza, Coca-Cola and even batteries for their ghettoblasters. The station started a local rock 'n'roll tradition by camping out with theirlisteners at lineups, "sometimes for days onend," says Johnston.

Marconi & Cheese hope forMarconi & Cheese, the creation of 30 -yearold entrepreneur Kat Mullaly, is riding on thehopes that history will repeat itself - andoften. Twisted History, a collection of30 -to -60 -second -long fact -based comedysnippets, is the sole focus of M&C at themoment - but Mullaly hopes it's only a matterof time until radio stations across NorthAmerica are playing her product.

The Montreal -born "ex -comedy cabaretwriter/performer/improvisor and radio co-host" reveals that she started M&C"because I was working (in Toronto) foranother producer who wasn't interested insome of the projects that I wanted to get into.So I thought 'Hell, I'll be the competition."'

Sharing studio space with her formeremployer, Mullaly says M&C is an extensionof her desire to educate. "I think I'm a latentteacher," she says, "because I really get acharge out of passing on information."Mullaly says she enjoys "insignifica" andthat Twisted History is a natural evolutionaryprocess of that: "infotainment."

Twisted History acts out, in 'sketch'style, actual significant events fromCanadian and global history. Every day ofthe month is represented with at least oneentry, written as to present history "the waywe all wanted it to happen."

"We're pitching (Twisted History)everywhere," she says. "People really likethe product, but I'm offering it as a cash

day, the station broadcasts a short messagefrom Cooper, followed by a stirring renditionof 0 Canada. Cooper's messages ask'listenersto consider "the many positive things"about Canada. "I'm convinced that mostCanadians, in their hearts, want to keep thiscountry together," says Cooper," continuingwith, "We have allowed ourselves to becomepreoccupied with things that frustrate us, andwe have lost sight of the greatness of thiscountry." He concludes with, "I think thetime has come to do a little flag-waving."

Rock 20 Countdown ready to roll ... Rock20 Countdown, a new A.O.R. chart -typeshow, will be launched shortly by SoundSource. Hosted by Liz McKinney of CFOXand written and produced by Q107's SteveWarden and Gary Whidden respectively, the2 -hour weekly show counts down the Top 20best selling rock albums in Canada. As SoundSource's Lesley Soldat explains, the series, setto debut the broadcast week of Sept. 3, "willutilize depth cuts in order to provide abalance of hit/non-hit . . . will have anunderlying theme in order to qualify asforeground . . . and will regularly featuresuperstar interviews and will be CFS-therebyallowing FM stations to subtract local andnational commercial spots from weeklycount." The series is available throughoutCanada on a barter basis.St. John to CKSL/0103! Braden Doerr,General Manager of CKSL/Q103 Radio inLondon, Ontario, has announced the ap-pointment of Pat St. John as OperationsManager. St. John is well known in thebroadcast business through his more thantwenty years in the field. For the past twoyears he has managed CHNS/CHFX inHalifax. Currently holding the position as

history to repeatservice . . . and that seems to be a detriment.So I'm working hard now to get some U.S.and Canadian syndication happening. SoundSource and Seltech are having a look at it.The (U.S.) market is used to purchasingservices (while) the market here is juststarting to get into it," she adds.

Mullaly says she's hoping to getdomestic sponsorship affiliation or satelliteaffiliation. "I've applied for a CAPS grantfor this (the CAPS program was detailed inRPM August 11/90). Once I've secured sixstations, I believe, CAPS will hop on boardand allow me some satellite time. Once I canput this up on satellite, I can offer it a lotcheaper - to a broader market - in Canada."

To date, Mullaly has secured twostations: KIIQ in Reno, Nevada, andHamilton's CHAM. She says that scores ofradio stations across North America arecurrently listening to Twisted History demos,and she is awaiting their responses.

But she is confident that her product willeventually find favour throughout thecontinent. She believes that there is a demandfor such things as Twisted History, butthat production costs have deterred theiremergence. "That's why a lot of Canadianproducers haven't bothered to do this. It'sspoken word, which is difficult radio toproduce in the first place, and it'sexpensive radio to produce."

Vice President of Programming for MaritimeBioadcasting, St. John was described bysenior management of McLean HunterBroadcasting as one of "the best program-mers in the country." Originally fromBrantford, Ontario, St. John began his careerin broadcasting as an on -air announcer atToronto's 1050 CHUM.

TOM GALLANTSaltwater HeartRogue Wave RDRCD-118Label him what you want, but "Cap'n"Tom Gallant serves up a wild and crazypotpourri of entertainment that spans.and defies all music genres. Althoughhis roots are country, he has mixedenough Dixieland, honky-tonk, hurtin',toe-tappin', blues, jazz and Cajunwacky-doo offerings here to create aswitchboard dilemna. Any one of thesetracks, all Gallant originals, wouldsignal a deluge of listener calls. In-cludes Hero Stompin' Tom, his tributeto country/folk legend Stompin' TomConnors, a humorous little ditty hedesigned specifically for the tour he iscurrently on with Connors. There's anedgy drama to Gallant's vocal powerand his live theatre experience (PumpBoys & Dinettes), serves to crank uphis projection more than a fewdecibels. Much of the album wasrecorded and mixed by Jim McCurdy atNew York's Side Pocket Sound. HeroStompin' Tom was produced by GlennMeisner with engineer Karl Falkenhamat Studio H, CBC Halifax.

JANE'S ADDICTION RockRitual De Lo HabitualWarner Bros - CD -26223-PLos Angeles outfit Jane's Addictionwrite songs that are lyrically sensitiveand intriguing, but they're hard to getto through the haze. The band'strademark sound is an atmosphericdrone (at times oddly reminiscent oflate Beatles) which builds to a

crescendo of thundering drums andguitar buzz. These Days, the album'smusical centre, works itself fromwhisper to fury and back several timesin its ten minutes and 45 seconds.Lacking anything in the way of im-mediately recognizable hooks, Ritualmay yet reward listeners with a littlepatience. The single, Stop, is beingtargeted to AOR radio. (CD reviewed)

JLTHE ANDREWS SISTERS Pop50th Anniversary Collection Vol IMCA - MCAD-42044-JThey made their first recording in 1937and became the darlings of radioprogrammers who were playing "hits"of the day. It was just before WWII and,by the time the war began, they wereentertaining troops, making moviesand became the toast of radio and

,jukeboxes. Swing and boogie woogie

were like today's rock, rap and heavymetal. Looking at the titles envisionsthoughts of today's television pro-moted compilations. Every song is ahit. Who can ever forget Rum AndCoca-Cola or the always popular BeerBarrel Polka and Ber Mir Bist DuSchon. Beat Me Daddy Eight To TheBar doesn't seem to read right thesedays and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boysounds so dated that it probably wouldonly arouse the occupants of a seniorcitizen home. But these three sisterswere a great part of the history ofpopular music and to forget themwould be like forgetting the DiMarcoSisters, the McGuire Sisters and TheSupremes. I Can Dream, Can't I, thefinal track on this CD, recorded in 1949,heralded the breakup of this populartrio. The following year Patty, Maxeneand LaVerne broke up and went theirseparate ways.

1927the other sideWEA 17-13694-PThe second album release by theAustralian quartet has a number of in-teresting musical twists. A lot of thesongs have either blues or jazz hooksin them but it's that they come in atoften unexpected times that makesthem effective. The band is joined by aslew of "additional musicians," whichhelps round off and expand 1927'ssound. Two of the better tracks areDoin' It Wrong and Call On Me, both ofwhich are enhanced by impressivevocal and instrumental arrangements.Neither too hard on the rock end, nortoo sappy on the pop side, the otherside is an enjoyable listening ex-perience. Produced by Charles Fisher.(cassette reviewed) - PS

REO SPEEDWAGON RockThe Earth, A Small Man, His Dog AndA Chicken - Epic ET -45246-HThe Aussie group that ruled the air-waves in the summer of 1980 with theirLP, Hi Infidelity, is back with theirfourth album since. The Earth, etc. etc.,is a finepolished work - professionallycrafted by production wizard Tom Lord-Alge. All the songs are givenmeticulous attention to ensure that theSpeedwagon sound endures: andmaybe this is where the problem lies.REO made history with Infidelity sell-ing upwards of 18 million albums and

singles so it's not surprising thatthey'd want to retain some of the sameformula. But whereas their best workshave offered innovative melodies andgroundbreaking sounds, Earth, et al,has an intangible lethargy about it asif the band feels it needs to prove itsviability in the '90s. Novelty, nostalgiaand curiosity alone will probably en-sure this album healthy sales - but ittakes more than a catchy title toachieve artistic, rather than retail,merit. (cassette reviewed) PS

ANDY CURRANAndy CurranAlert - 22.81015-FAlthough Curran hasn't been in ConeyHatch for years, it is probably themoniker he will be stuck with for awhile until his fledgling solo careertakes root. Gifted with a youthfulexuberance - and a real love of rock 'n'roll - Curran has created a competent,up -tempo debut album. Hissongwriting ability hasn't matured to apoint yet where he can successfullytake on today's rock big-namers, but hedoes show that, given time (which Alertis giving him), he does have the talentto become one of Canada's premiererockers. Andy Curran is tilled withhooks and riffs that, combined withsometimes intelligent lyrics, show hispotential. Produced by Curran and BillPetrie. (CD reviewed) PS

CHUEI YOSHIKAWA New Age PopCalifornia RollVoss Records VCD2-72909Named after a west coast sushi dish,California Roll is a fitting title - a blendof Japanese and North Americanstyles. Yoshikawa was born in Japan,but travelled to the U.S. in the

seventies with his band of the time.This period in life has obviously left anindelible mark on his musical psyche.Besides new age sounds, Yoshikawaalso presents a side of him thatresembles American folk from theseventies (he says James Taylor is aninfluence). Everything from instrumen-tal to Latin to old-style jazz can befound on Roll. In addition to his im-pressive talents as a multiinstrumentalist, Yoshikawa also singsin more than halfa-dozen languageson the album. (CD reviewed) - PS

NASTY JOEHit 'Em With Your ThingStar Records STR-CD8021The debut album from Montreal'sNasty Joe is a brash, ambitious recordwhich blusters through a whole rangeof rap and dance styles in the course ofits ten tracks. One In A Million is aballad, Nasty Joe is straight ahead rap,and Archie, Street Corner Movies andthe title track are poppy dance/rap con-fections. Co -produced by Joe Tardif(aka Nasty Joe) and remix whiz MarkBerry, Hit 'Em... mixes big, boldsynthesized effects with odd subjectmatter and occasionally incomprehen-sible lyrics. The result is a lot less in-triguing than it should be, although itmay find favour on the dance floor.Despite the brooding tough guy photoson the record jacket, Joe isn't nearly asnasty as he wants to be.

LUKE FEATURING THE 2 LIVE - RapCREW - Banned In The U.S.A.Luke Records CD -4242-PNot so much an album as a tract,Banned In The U.S.A. is LukeCampbell's answer to the critics (andthere are many) of his band, 2 LiveCrew. As an album, it's a spiriteddefence of America's First Amend-ment, surprisingly engaging and inven-tive in parts, heavyhanded and offen-sive in others. The record's "obscene"language will draw a lot of flack, butmore disturbing is the strong strain ofhomophobia and misogyny which per-vades Campbell's lyrics. The single,Banned In The U.S.A. is already a Top20 hit in the U.S., so Campbell mayhave the last laugh over those whowould censor him. Man Or Myth, apossible follow up, has a pleasantlyfunky dance groove. (CD reviewed) -JL

her Arista debut single, New Kind Of Love, which moves into the No. 10 berth on this week's RPM Country 100. The follow-up single could be Woman's Intuition.

Alibi is looking good . . .

Of Glory, peaked at No. 23 at the end of June. Shaw co -produced all three singles.
