All concerts on the tour willhave a $6.50 top ticket price.In addition, Rudge, as part ofa special plan of action to pre-vent ticket scalpers and forg-ers, has set an absolute limitof four tickets sold per cus-tomer. In each city, all outletswill put tickets on sale simul-taneously 30 days prior to theactual date, with mail orders insome cities. Local newspaperads, which will be designed andsupplied by the Stones' office,will carry details.

CLUB REVIEW

Lettermen Consistent NEW YORK - "Hurt SoBad," "MacArthur Park," and"Portrait Of My Love" are butthree of the classic standardtunes that Lettermen, now, asthen, consisting of the PikeBrothers, Jim and Gary, withfriend Tony Butala, wove intoan evening of smooth and sub-tle entertainment, calculated towelcome out-of-towners into theBig Apple and draw couplescloser together. Opening at theRoyal Box (25) for an extendedstay, Lettermen smiled andsang their way through a pro-gram beloved for its familiarityand ingenuously pleasurablesentimentality.

Taking requests like "Maria,"and "I Think I'm Going Out ofMy Head," trading lead vocalson such staunchly middle-of-the-road perennials as "MyWay" and "It's Impossible,"and bringing the audience intothe fun on the singalong "It'sA Sin To Tell A Lie," thegroup's professionalism andwarmth was reinforced by theoutstanding Ray Bloch Orches-tra and underscored by Letter-men's own travelling band. An-other night of roast beef andcamaraderie, like so manyothers, and yet reassuring inits consistency. There aren'ttoo many artists you can counton like Lettermen.

RCA's Herb Linsky:

On the Selling of the Economy Line

Herb Linsky

Herb Linsky, RCA RecordsDirector, Camden Product, be-gan his career in the recordbusiness in 1955, as a promotionman working out of RCA's Phil-adelphia distributor. Moving toNew York in 1958, he was EpicNational Promotion Manager forfour years, after which "a de-sire to learn the other side ofthe business" led him to becomea specialist in rack merchandis-ing. There followed positions inspecial market sales with Lon-

'don and Kapp Records. He thenmoved on to Pickwick where hehelped to develop the Pickwick/33 $1.98 line. Linsky was with

Columbia's economy line, Harmony, for five years, and headed itprior to his appointment to his current position at RCA lastNovember.

Record World: How would you characterize the economy linemarket? Who buys Camden records?

Herb Linsky: An economy record, more than any other typeof record, is an impulse item. Camden product is generally pur-chased by a middle income housewife in, for instance, a discountdrugstore or a supermarket. Buying a record is not her first orderof business. She is not apt to go into a full -line record store.

RW: Has the economy market changed over the years?Linsky: Yes, thankfully, it's grown considerably. And our cus-

tomer has become a more sophisticated record buyer. He's moreselective. He's looking for the right kind of product-the rightartist, singing the right songs.

RW: Do you receive many complaints about duplication ofmaterial? In other words, complaints from consumers who findthat the songs on the economy album they've just purchased arethe same as the ones on the regularly priced record they boughtyears ago.

Linsky: No, never. We do get asked why certain selectionsweren't included. You've got to remember that our buyers aregenerally not those you'd call "fans." They don't own everythingthat an artist has ever recorded, but some are collectors of oldermaterial that's been cut out and is no longer available anywhereelse but on the economy line.

RW: How is material selected for inclusion on an economyalbum?

Lipsky: We do research to determine what material is avail-able for inclusion on any individual project, and analyze what,of the available material, is most appropriate for that particularproject. We also take copyright rates into consideration in struc-turing any given package.

RW: Has it ever happened that an economy album has inter-fered with the sales of an artist's current, regularly pricedproduct?

Linsky: Again, the markets are distinct. Our market researchhas shown that such interference doesn't occur. In fact, economyproduct can help an artist's career by opening new avenues ofexposure to him and his material. A first economy album, espe-cially, often creates new "fans," or buyers of the artist's regularpriced product.

RW: Does an artist exercise any influence in the final formthat an economy album bearing his name takes?

Linsky: In general, we have the freedom to determine the pro-gramming and the design of all economy product that we release.

RW: If economy album sales are impulse sales, is packaging

of primary concern to you ?Linsky: There's no doubt that attractive packaging is essen-

tial to the success of an economy line because of the impulse fac-tor. Mass merchandising is our business and the best possiblecover art is mandatory to enable a package to reach its fullestpotential. Another important factor is timeliness. For instance,we've just come out with a George Carlin album. The materialhad been gathering dust in our vaults. But Carlin is hot now.He's coming off a hit album, getting plenty of television ex-posure . I think the time is right for our George Carlin album.

RW: Can any innovations be expected in economy line pack-aging?

Linsky: The double pocket two -record set is a recent innova-tion. Pickwick introduced the configuration in its economy lineseveral years ago and our recent success with it has exceededour expectations.

RW: What is the price differential between your one and two-record economy sets?

Linsky: Our standard one -disc album lists at $2.49, the two-record set for $3.98. A $2.49 album contains, on the average, 10selections; the $3.98, 18 selections.

RW: How large, in dollars, would you estimate the size of theeconomy market to be today?

Linsky: The total economy market, consisting of records andtapes, is probably in the $25-30 million wholesale range.

RW: How many units does a successful economy album sell?Linsky: Perry Como's "Christmas" album was the first million

selling economy album. We've got a Presley that's close to thatfigure. But, in general, our best sellers do better than a halfmillion. I, of course, can only speak for the Camden line.

RW: What type of music sells best at economy prices?Linsky: That's easy. Country music is consistently our most

viable commercial product.RW: Why is that true?Linsky: As in the case of regularly priced country product, the

consumer of economy country product is a most loyal one, to bothindividual artists and the music in general.

RW: Are there plans to become more heavily involved in con-temporary rock at the economy level?

Linsky: No, the market's not right for it in most cases. We'vefound that consumer interest in any particular rock artist has avery short life span, so that by the time his material is availablefor economy release, it is generally out of date and doesn't sell aswell as you might expect.

RW: Does Camden release any original recordings?Linsky: We have. Albums of the "Living Strings" and "Living

Brass" type. But we're cutting down on that sort of thing. Ourrepackaging program is more successful and there's a greatwealth of material in the RCA vaults to be tapped. The nostalgiatrend has given great impetus to the sales of our line. It's mypersonal opinion that this trend will continue to develop.

RW: Are you satisfied with the way economy product is mer-chandised?

Linsky: It's difficult to measure one's degree of satisfaction inthis instance. We are constantly seeking to obtain new areas ofexposure and new ways to develop our sales growth. Basically,space at rack levels is limited, so we seek to enhance our positionin these outlets by creating the strongest, most desirable product.

RW: Is there any aspect of the economy record business thatcould be improved upon?

Linsky: Again, every aspect can always be improved upon, butI can cite one area that is virtually entirely neglected. The tradesignore the economy record business. I think that any segment ofthe industry that accounts for as much business as we do merits

Following the release of thepoliceman by a number ofconstruction workers whowere close at hand, the demon-stration moved inside the Gal-lery where several works weredamaged and obscene appen-dages were drawn on some fineold paintings of racehorses.The arrests took place follow-ing a scuffle involving theartists and a group of WomensLib supporters from Burnleyon a three-day outing. Severalof the ladies were badlybruised and unfortunatelytheir match with Chelsea F.C.tomorrow has had to be can-celled.

THE SOCIETY FOR LITERARY ADVANCEMENT ANDGESTATION, (SLAG), announced their decisionlate last night to disqualify eight year oldprizewinner Gerald (Little Milton) Bostockfollowing the hundreds of protests and threatsreceived after the reading of his epic poem"Thick as a Brick" on B.B.C. Television lastMonday night.A hastily reconvened panel of Judges accepted the decision byfour leading child psychiatrists that the boy's mind was seriouslyunbalanced and that his work was a product of an "extremelyunwholesome attitude towards life, his God and Country".Bostock was recommended for psychiatric treatment followingexamination "without delay". The first prize will now be pre-sented to runner up Mary Whiteyard (aged 12) for her essay onChristian ethics entitled, "He died to save the little Children".

The Literary Competition,which was for children agedfrom 7 to 16 years of age, wassponsored by leading nationalnewspapers and received thou-sands of entries from schoolsall over Britain. Mr. HumphreyMartin, the Headmaster ofMoordale Primary Schoolsaid Gerald, nicknamed"Little Milton" by his Englishmaster because of his poeticability, was mentally advancedfor his age, although inclinedon occasions to obscure andverbose assertions which ledhim to being somewhat un-popular with his schoolmatesHe went on to say that with-out doubt the child had a greatfuture academically and thathis progress was unsurpassedin the history of MoordalePrimary. Gerald and hisparents moved to St. Clevefour years ago from Man-chester when Mr. Bostockdecided for health reasons tolive away from the City.

G rMany of the viewers who

heard Gerald read his work onthe "Young Arts" programmeon B.B.C. 2 felt that it was notone poem but a series of separ-ate poems put together merely

to appear impressive. Many ofthe viewers' complaints werecentred around "LittleMilton's" use of a four-letterword during the interviewwhich followed his reading.The Producer of 1Young Arts"Michael Fenwick said later,

"We have come to expect thatsort of language from adultson television these days, but tohear it from a child of eight isparticularly depressing. WhenI was his age I did not evenknow what the word g - - rmeant."

Some people have asked why we aretaking the trouble to congratulatevarious promotion executives andradio programmers in connection withthe hit records that we report. Thereasons for this are that it hasbecome so extremely difficult to getairplay and to make a hit record,and so few records are coming

through at a time when creative people in therecording industry are turning out a lot ofrecords that should be hits.

Actually, drummers and the other musi-cians don't win Grammies, but unlike most of us, they can at leastsay they had something more to do with the winner than "I wasthere" . . .

MONEY MUSIC(Continued from. page 14)

and thoughtfulness that can make our business atwo-way street. Record promotion men continuallycall programming people to ask for their helpin breaking a record. Obviously, if we wrotesomething unflattering about a radio person, theword would travel fast and the phones would hum.Why should the phones be so strangely quiet whenwe say something nice? Now you may call SteveWest and report to him that we printed that hesounds GABASKONIUS. It might also be a nice ideato be aware of people's birthdays, anniversaries,confirmations, bar mitzvahs, etc. Don't you agree?As a matter of fact, Dan Walker of KJRB issupposed to have his bar mitzvah next week.

The sure shot of the week is the new DavidCassidy. It went right on WABC, WIBG, KOL, WROV,WLOV. It should become the #1 recordof the summer.

Congratulations to Herb Gordon of Paramountfor bringing the Commander Cody hit all theway in. Unfortunately, the program directorof a huge station owned by a radio -TV networkso far refuses to play it simply because hepersonally does not like it. Reliable sourcesinform us that this program director wasunwilling to see the president of a huge recordcompany owned by another radio -TV network whohad come in to the station to pay his respects.The president of the record company waited invain for about one-half hour, although theprogram director was apparently aware of hispresence. We hear that the general manager ofthe station later telephoned apologies. Whatdo you think of such a situation?

Sure shot pic: Climax. There were a lot of"doubting Thomases" on the last one which wascalled "Precious and Few." Since there are noautomatics any more and since the follow-upto a hit record also has to wait its turn . .

we can expect this one to take at least a month tostart breaking. Apparently, the first personto break this record is my old friend, RodTompkins and WROV Roanoke where it exploded to4f17 in just one week. It is also on WLAVGrand Rapids and WRAS Atlanta.

Unfortunately, at least 70 per cent of the keypop stations are still waiting to go on theFifth Dimension. We freely admit that, like manyother people, we did not hear this record atfirst. We guarantee that it will soon go overa million.

Sure shot prediction, Marvin Gaye: We expectthat many programmers will wait on this onewhich is what happened with his last four hits.We predicted hit action on his past hits andwe predict it again.Love Unlimited on Uni. We are very proud of

this ear pic which we made a month before itwas released. It is now on many of the heavyweightpop stations and is going to go top 10 or higher.We don't recall missing a week not telling youit would be a giant, and predicting that it couldnot be stopped. Many programming people whocould not hear it before are now devout believers.

Sleeper prediction, one more once. JerryWallace "To Get To You." We are staying withthis one the same way we stayed with LoveUnlimited. We feel this will cross from country

the same way the Freddie Hart record did. It hasexploded to #1 WMAK Nashville, it is top 10KILT Houston, and is now confirmed 33-24 KLIFDallas where true believers Jim Taber and MikeO'Shea are doing a great job. Now Gary Shannonof KJR Seattle reports it is getting immediatephone requests in just one week with only limiteddaytime air play. New believers: WMPS Memphisand Mike Randell, the hit maker from WBBQAugusta. In the summer of 1959, we did a nightrock show on WCAM Camden -Philadelphia and brokeJerry Wallace's legendary "Primrose Lane" byplaying it 12 times in a row in one night. Wetook the word of Len Racliff now generalmanager of Universal Distributors Philadelphia.We hope that stations will take our word nowin 1972 and give Wallace the pop smash he deservesin 1972. He sounds just like Elvis Presley onthis record. If this record were by Elvis, itwould probably be top 10 already.

Wayne Newton We are tired of sounding likea cracked record, but we have confirmation thisweek that cannot be denied. It exploded 26-19 CKLWand is getting top 5 phone requests and asRosalie Trombley says, "when a white artistcan do that in Detroit, you know it can be ahit in any other city". Buzz Barr, KING Seattle,confirms "big daytime phone requests". WROVconfirms "HB to 10!" Ron says "that it justsort of puttered around a few weeks and afterthe 21st day of air play, it exploded to #1 inphone requests". It is now on: KJR, WPDQ, WLAV,KLIF, WMPS, WMAK, WBBQ and WIFI. It alsoexploded 18-10 WFDF.Millie Jackson is now a guaranteed smash.

Congratulations to Jules and Roy Rifkind whonow have another super star to add to Joe Simon.They have built a fantastic r&b-pop label calledSpring. Mike Becce and his hard-working staffat Polydor have done an outstanding job inputting this r&b smash on key pop stations. Itis now on: KHJ, WRKO, WHBQ, WMAK, WIXY,WBBQ, WQXI and WAYS.

John Lennon thus far is on WCLF and WBBMin Chicago. It is on KDAY, WRNO, WPDQ.Jimmy Castor Bunch on RCA. It is shaping up

as a huge r&b hit and a pop novelty and thus cango the same route as the Joe Tex. It is #1 atWPGC Washington, and we must remember that HaryMoore also broke the Chakachas first pop. GeorgeMcGovern, WPDQ Jacksonville, reports "it is atremendous smash". Bill Hennes, WKLO Louisville,says "smash". Dave Sholin, KLIV San Jose,reports it is #2 in phones. New believers:KFRC and KOL. We understand there are huge r&bsales in New York City.

John Kay on Dunhill is another pop record nowbeing confirmed by CKLW Detroit where it jumped23-18. Strong sales continue in Los Angeles.It is on the chart at KLIF and KILT. Newbelievers: WBBQ Augusta and now Jim Smith at thehigh -rated CBS -FM station in Chicago WBBM.

We have been predicting for 18 weeks that theSugar Bears would become a smash. Any record thatcan stay alive for that length of time, has tohave strong hit potential for the entirecountry. It has now exploded to #1 at keybarometer market WCOL Columbus, Ohio with BrianMcIntyre. It is starting to break at KJR andKING in Seattle and KJRB Spokane. It is getting"nice requests" at WKLO Louisville. Bob Robertsat KLEO Wichita confirms with jump of 25-19.

Fanny Hill has certainly got to be my absolute favorite LP of 1972..."- Mike Saunders, Rolling Stone

Mary Travers"Morning Glory"

from her album of the same name.Warner Bros. single 7588

A key single in the career of one of Americas best artists.Being very heavily programmed.

The reaction has been pretty much "hurrah,a deserving singer has finally got it together!"

Her single is proving it.

CLUB REVIEW

Lou Rawls InMaisonette Gig111 NEW YORK-Why on earthis Lou Rawls (MGM) playingthe Maisonette? The high -browtypes that frequent the placecan't possibly relate to him.Those who would love to seeLou's act can't afford the tariff.They go to the Copa, some-times even the Royal Box, butnever the Maisonette. The onlyblacks I saw at the half-filledopening (24) were reviewersfrom Ebony and Jet.

Did the people handling thehooking think that Lou wouldfill the place on the strengthof his recent Grammy award?The advertising seemed to begeared that way, but it didn'twork. I don't mean to minimizehis performance. He's as solidand polished an entertainer asyou'll find.

The last time I saw Lou workwas June of 1968, a night I'llnever forget. Bobby Kennedy'sbrief struggle for life endedthat morning. There couldn'thave been any area in the worldmore grief-stricken that nightthan Harlem. Lou was appear-ing at the Apollo. Escapismprobably drove me there, may-be something deeper. I wouldguess the same reasons createda standing room crowd. Thosepeople understand Chicago'ssouth side, dead-end streets andthe life of a street corner hus-tler. Lou's outstanding per-formance that night providedthe kind of escape everyonedesperately needed.

Now, close to four yearslater, the soulful Mr. Rawlsstill provides us with the samehigh quality music, a bit moresubdued perhaps, but neverthe-less it's the feeling that remainsthe same. The material hasn'tchanged too much. He still doesgreat numbers like "Shadow ofYour Smile," "Feelin' Good,""Love is a Hurtin' Thing,""Street Corner Hustler" and"Dead End Street." There issomething drastically wrongwhen this kind of material ismet merely with polite ap-plause.

Summer ServiceBy GARY K. COHEN

NEW YORK - At this timeof the year, with summer ap-proaching, many record labelswonder whether or not theyshould service college stationsover the summer, how theyshould do it, what will happento the records if a station is offthe air, whether they shouldmake up a separate list, etc.This column will look at theseproblems and attempt to comeup with possible solutions.

The first problem is deter-mining which college stationswill be on the air over the sum-mer. The best way to do thisis to make a mailing to all sta-tions on your mailing list ask-ing them this simple question.(If you have good rapport withthe stations you service, andthey trust you, you will get atruthful answer in return).Then, simply take the stationsthat will be on the air and putthem on a "summer collegemailing list" as a number of la-bels do. Simple? Yes, but whatabout stations that are not onthe air?

First, there is a differencebetween not being "on the air"and being closed. A number ofstations that are not on the airare open for repairs, or forsomeone to earn work-studymoney by installing new equip-ment. Other colleges have sum-mer school, and while thereisn't enough of an audience fora station to broadcast, it canat least keep the transmitterand studios in working condi-tion.

Should a record company,then, service a college stationthat is off the air? I believe so,because a college station, tokeep its programming relevant,needs the releases of the wholeyear to fill requests, make in-telligent segues, etc. If a sta-tion library is missing the re-leases of one quarter of theyear, it is hard to do so. And arelease that is popular over thesummer, will still be popularin September. Airplay is justas important in selling an al-bum as airplay in July or Au-gust.

If you agree that it is impor-tant for a station to get the re-leases, but are concerned as tohow the stations should getthem, a couple of other ideas.In this mailing to stations (todetermine who will be on theair over the summer), ask astation that is not on the air

CAMPUS REPORTWORLDif there is a secure place wherepackages can be mailed to. Willthere be somebody around (Of-fice of the Dean or Office ofStudent Affairs, the UniversityReceiving Department or Reg-istrar's Office) where packagescan be kept. Find out if a stu-dent will be checking in at thestation to pick up mail andcatalogue new releases. (Withthe job market as tight as it is,many college station music di-rectors are going to have a lotof free time on their hands . . .

time that will be spent at thestation over the summer).

But if a station or school willbe closed down completely, it isstill important for them to getreleases. Instead of mailingthem over the summer, what anumber of labels have done issave all important releases ofthe summer, and send one giant"care package" to that stationin the Fall. Of course there isa responsibility here on thepart of the company to makesure that copies of the releaseare put aside, so that when theFall comes, the copies areavailable for distribution.

Many labels have alreadyworked out their own individ-ual programs. Hopefully thesesuggestions will aid you inworking out yours.

WFIB, the campus carrierstation of the University ofCincinnati (Ohio), has an-nounced they will be simulcast-ing on WGUC-FM, the Univer-sity's FM stereo classical sta-tion, on Saturday and Sundaynights, from 12 midnight to6 a.m. The station, which hasa 24 -hour license, is making thetime available to WFIB insteadof going off the air, as they hadbeen doing before. Accordingto station personnel, the re-sponse in the first few weekshas been tremendous, with callsand letters coming in to thestation congratulating them ontheir new format. In additionto rock, the station is broad-casting news about what theUniversity is doing, and newsand public affairs program-ming.

Mercury's May CHICAGO-Mercury RecordsMay release is highlighted byalbums by Chuck Mangione, BullAngus, Bobby Bare, Dave Dud-ley, and two newcomers, JohnVan Horn and the Johnstons,plus a reissue of two SwingleSingers albums for the priceof one.

I Little David BigBy MITCHELL FINK

NEW YORK-Little Davidhas a decided advantage overmost labels. That advantage isthe single -most powerful salestool in the free world, televi-sion. If used effectively, tele-vision can elect a President,can make a star out of a vir-tual unknown, and as we haveseen over the past few years,can sell millions of records,i.e. Rudy Vallee and RoseyClooney and all those dear oldhits from decades past.

"The Flip Wilson Show" isriding the crest of the televi-sion ratings, and Flip Wilsonis Little David's number onepromotion man. When the labelfirst released "The Devil MadeMe Buy This Dress," Flip's starwas on the rise. That was latein 1969. By March, 1970, Flipplayed his first major club dateat the Sands Hotel in Las Ve-gas. The following month hehosted "The Tonight Show" for10 days. By July the album wascertified gold.

He then prepared his secondalbum, "The Flip WilsonShow," a strong chart albumwith good sales, but accordingto Ben Hurwitz, East CoastRepresentative for Little David,"Flip was too tied up with theshow, and getting it off theground, to seriously promotethe album." At any rate, in1971 Flip received an Emmy forthe show, and the NARM awardfor Best Comedy Album.

Little David then made adeal with Atlantic hoping tobenefit from that company'sdistribution, marketing andpromotion system. Their first

release under the new arrange-ment was George Carlin's "FM& AM." The public's responseto that album indicates themarriage to be working. Hur-witz tells us "George has beenbooked for major concert hallsbeginning the end of May. He'llgive his first major New Yorkconcert in July, but his BitterEnd engagement beginningJune 14 will coincide with theweek that Flip guest hosts "TheTonight Show" again. George isslated for a guest shot thatweek. Television promo, re-member?

Little David last week re-leased the new Flip Wilson al-bum, "Geraldine/Don't FightThe Feeling." Atlantic is pull-ing out all the stops, with Ger-aldine dolls and all, but Flipshould be able to put the al-bum over the top between hisshow and the Carson show.

So, Little David looks like afirst rate comedy label, but ac-cording to Hurwitz, "that'sonly part of the story. They'llknow about our music soon."Soon means an album by newartist Dan Cassidy, the one BobHamilton has been writingabout. Soon also means a newKenny Rankin album to be re-leased in June. Rankin fansknow of the artist's past prob-lems, and should come out ofthe woodwork as soon as hisalbum hits the stores.

Hurwitz concluded: "We'vebeen comfortable and success-ful with comedy to this point.Our relationship with Atlanticis superb. Our sights are seton music. Dan and Kennyshould be a worthy beginning."And, of course, there's alwaystelevision to turn to.

SWARM Formed; Will Combat Piracy DALLAS-As a result of ameeting held March 23 here,the Southwest Association ofRecording Merchandisers hasbeen formed to help combatthe illegal duplication of re-corded music in the Southwest,which has allegedly drainedsome $12 million in tape reve-nue from legitimate manufac-

Manhattans Again NEW YORK - After ninemonths on the market, the Man-hattans current single is finallyachieving hit status. Originallyreleased last October, "A Mil-lion to One" and "Cry If YouWant To Cry" received splitairplay and sales.

Listings came in on bothsides, diluting the record'soverall impact, but neverthe-less securing its chart listings.Gradually "A Million to One"emerged as the dominant side.The record is on the Deluxelabel, distributed by Starday-King. It was produced byMyrna March and Bert Keyesof Make Music.

Starday-King President HalNeely said that although therecord has maintained a steadysales pattern throughout themonths since its release andnow approaches two hundredthousand sold, this is not trulyreflected in chart activity be-cause of the lengthy period in-volved.

K -Tel?(Continued from page 3)

Peter Asher, James Taylor'smanager, said he and Taylorhad signed a release for use ofthe song by the U.N., but thathe had never signed anythingwith K -Tel, "nor do I like thefact that James is on the K -Telalbum. I was very concernedwhen I first saw the ads ontelevision." Asher added,"We've never given permission,nor would we ever give per-mission for this kind of album."

At Elektra, Mickey Kappwent into a meeting on Thurs-day with legal counsel forElektra, Atlantic, and WarnerBrothers to discus the album."The individual artists," Kappsaid, "approved a release (ofproduct) for a U.N. record.There has been no permissionfor another, and there was noright of sub -lease. K -Tel ismaking money on this. Thatwasn't the original intention.It was to be a charity albumthat nobody made money on."Additionally, Bud Frasier atMGM has his legal departmentinvestigating. Lee Young ischecking into it for Dunhill,and at MCA, Dave Skepner saidthe legal department was check-ing it out.

At the United Nations theman in charge of the "benefit"album, Renald Governor, couldnot be reached. His assistant,Yvonne Yeskin, would not bespecific about how much theU.N.'s refugees were going tobe making on the album. Shesaid that there were three rec-ords out worldwide (a French,a German, and an American/Canadian) and that some of thematerial on the American al-bum was also on the Frenchand German versions. She saidthis Volume II was the "fourthor fifth album the High Com-mission has put out and weplan to do more." Ms. Yeskinsaid that Volume I of thisseries ("The Top Stars Festi-val") will be coming out soon(the reverse order is just an-other mystery) and that it willbe an "Easy Listening" format,distributed by CBS.

K -Tel Records is part of alarge marketing organizationcalled K -Tel International outof Minneapolis. Gary Kieves ofK -Tel explained that the recordalbum was put together by theU.N. and all clearances weredone by the U.N. He believesthe same album was on salebefore in the U.N. stores, butsince "the U.N. is not keenlyorganized," the job of market-ing the record had come toK -Tel, which guarantees an un-specified amount of money tothe U.N. fund. Kieves said theU.N. did all artwork and ad-

vertising scripts, and thateverything had to be approvedin Geneva, making it a long,drawn out process.

"We cover the whole coun-try," Kieves said, "we go formajor distribution, Sears, Wool-worths. We're a marketing com-pany. Records are only one ofour products. Our biggest prod-uct is the Miracle Brush." The"Miracle Brush" removes lint.

Kieves went on to say thatK -Tel was not dealing withregular record stores. "Whatwe're doing for the industry isusing outlets they don't nor-mally have, and getting cus-tomers they would ordinarilynot have a chance at." Kieveswouldn't say how many albumsK -Tel has sold, but he said of the25 to 30 titles K -Tel has han-dled in the last four years (allcompilation albums) severalwere gold, though not certifiedby the RIAA.

Contradicting Ms. Yeskin ofthe High Commission's office,Kieves believes that Volume Iof the series (he did not re-member its contents) had beendistributed by the CrystalCorporation in Nashville, butthat Crystal was now "in-active."

K -Tel is not the only market -company now involved in push-ing a compilation record of un-known legal footings. RoncoTeleproducts in Chicago ismarketing an album called "DoIt Now," ostensibly as a fundraising item for the "Do ItNow Foundation," an anti-drug group. The "Do It Now"album contains cuts by theBeatles, Donovan, the JeffersonAirplane, the Byrds, Jimi Hen-drix and more.

However, before Beatle prod-uct reverted to Apple owner-ship, the use of their songs bythe Do It Now Foundation hadbeen approved by Stanley Gor-tikov who was with Capitol atthe time, and the four individ-ual Beatles.

Bill Thompson, manager ofthe Jefferson Airplane, saidthe Airplane had given permis-sion for the use of "SomebodyTo Love" by the Do It NowFoundation in 1968, but he wasunaware of the involvement ofa big marketing operation, or ofa new album.

A spokesman for the Do ItNow Foundation in Los Angelescommented that the album"started out to be legitimate,"though it was unclear just ex-actly what he meant by that.He indicated that the presentalbum, being marketed nation-ally, is the second time aroundon an original record that theFoundation released as a drugeducation album. He said it wasreviewed in Psychology Today,it sold about 10,000, "not a

The innovations in produc-tion and staging, which havebeen designed by ChipmonckIndustries, eliminate mostsound and lighting equipmentfrom the stage, thereby enabl-ing the audience to have anunobstructed view. Among themethods for doing this aretowers which hold all soundequipment, except the group'samplifiers, above the sightlinesof the viewers and a system ofbacklighting utilizing mirrors,making the stage even brighter.

He said the Foundation nowgets 25 cents per album sold(it retails for $3.99) and he hadno idea how many had beensold or how much money hadbeen realized.

Ronco Teleproducts in Chi-cago claims that all clearancesand legalities are straight.They do admit that until threeweeks ago Capitol and Applewere unaware of the album andhad been upset over the use ofthe Beatles though they nowclaim that it had been straight-ened out with Apple ExecutiveVice President Charlie Nuccio.Nuccio was out of town lastweek and unavailable for com-ment. The Ronco spokesmanshied away from questionsabout money, saying all finan-cial arrangements were confi-dential. He also told RecordWorld that he would preferthat nothing be written aboutthe album, that Ronco was tak-ing care of all the publicitythey needed by themselves.

Knight Suits(Continued from page 3)

against Eastman and GrandFunk Railroad in these newlawsuits.

New details regarding thecorporation's business opera-tions which Knight had beenreluctant to discuss at previ-ous news conferences were alsodisclosed in the suits. It was re-vealed that Grand Funk mem-bers, Mark Farner, DonaldBrewer and Melvin Schacherwere not only directors of GFREnterprises, Ltd., but were alsosalaried employees who hadsigned exclusive employee con-tracts with the corporation. Ac-cording to Knight's suit, Far-ner, Brewer, Schacher andEastman have now stated thatthe group "will no longer per-form through the auspices ofGFA Enterprises and itsagents."

Grand Funk's agent is FrankBarsalona, President of Premi-er Talent Associates, Inc., whohas an exclusive Booking Agen-cy contract with the group.Knight's suit revealed, how-ever, that Grand Funk has stat-ed that the group "will con-tinue to perform as GrandFunk Railroad." The lawsuitasks the court to order Farner,Brewer, Schacher and Eastmanto cease all such acts and state-ments.

Knight also states that, un-less the rightful ownership ofGrand Funk's name and film oftheir Shea Stadium appearanceis declared soon by the Court,"their value will be lost sub-stantially or entirely."

The new suit seeks an in-junction against Farner, Brew-er, Schacher and Eastman fromclaiming that the film andname now belong "solely" and"absolutely" to them and from"challenging such ownership."

When asked how he felt per-sonally about the matter,Knight said: "I'm still totallyin the dark as to any reasonsfor the group's actions. Therehasn't been a single chargemade against me and there stillhasn't been a single word ofexplanation from the group.And for these three boys to tellme to book Madison Square Gar-den for concerts and then justturn their backs on their fansis absolutely disgraceful.

"I've had people turn theirbacks on me before, but forthose people to turn their backson the millions of fans wholove them and look up to them. . . well, I'd always expectedprofessionalism and respectfrom Grand Funk Railroad fortheir fans. It seems I expectedtoo much."

LONDON-It's been a week of bans, two of which seriouslyaffect the music industry. Most amazing was the decision tocease all pop and rock shows at London's Royal Albert Halldue to "bad behaviour of fans." The decision follows the closureof another rock venue, The Rainbow Theatre, but on the brightside the Lyceum is to recommence Sunday concerts throughoutthe summer months at least.

The second ban was imposed on promotion men visiting ouronly radio station's headquarters in a general tightening up onsecurity. For an initial "trial" period, promotion executives willonly be allowed to enter the BBC building with a firm appoint-ment. This they will have to wait for, in some cases about sixweeks! Thirdly, bubble gum group the Sweet made national pressheadlines after being banned by Mecca from playing any oftheir dance halls throughout the country due to "suggestivelyprovocative performances."

Musical chairs at Phonogram with executive Chairman SteveGotlieb effecting several changes in management. Formerly withPolydor International, Ronald Rennie is appointed Director incharge of the company's creative activities. John Mair is pro-moted to General Sales Manager replacing John Hardman whois now Special Projects Manager, Rex Oldfield adds to his Pro-motion Manager duties the responsibility of Pop Marketing,Johnny Franz remains head of A & R and Fred Kent as FinancialController.

All change too at EMI whose International Sales and Pro-motion Manager Derek Allen moves to Manager, Licensed Reper-toire Department, Arthur Cook replacing him. Colin Burn takescomplete control of Marketing and Promotion, while top pro-motion man Bob White joins the company from Rak Recordsand Richard Forte, formerly with CBS' promotion department isappointed label manager for ABC,'Dunhill's UK outlet Probe.EMI A & R assistant Dave Crocker currently in Hollywood seek-ini,g new artists and product.

For the forseeable future, she'plans more live performances,more writing, and more record-ing (scheduled for release thisSpring on Stanyan is her "GreatSongs of the 30's").

During that week of February25, Steve Popovich got it at KXOL Ft. Worth,KTSA, KONO San Antonio, KNUZ Houston and KAAYLittle Rock. That week it also went on WLPLBaltimore, WPGC Washington, KLZ Denver, KUDLKansas City. The rest is history.

The new Raiders just went on KILT Houston andis a pic at WMEX Boston with Jim Connors andTom Allen.

We are very high on the David Bromberg album.The single will be the George Harrison fantasticnovelty song "Holdup," and the first stationplaying it-you might have guessed-is WPGCWashington with hit -maker, record -breaker HaryMoore.

We are getting heavy reports that the newCornelius Bros. and Sister Rose record on UA willbe a smash. Many of you are familiar with thetragedy involving the automobile accident and thedeath of one brother.

The new Tommy James is a powerhouse. There isno question that it will get tested. It's called"Cat's Eye In The Window".We are so thrilled that our super left -field

prediction of the year the Sammy Davis, Jr. hasabsolutely exploded coast to coast. As long aswe are in this business, we will be proud of thefact that both we and Dean Taylor of WIPPhiladelphia believed in this record.

The new Addrisi Bros. should be exploding onstations in about a month.

We feel that the next star from Nashville willbe Dianne Davidson on Janus. "Delta Dawn" isbreaking at WMAK.

There is a powerful record on Anthem byRanji "It's So Easy." It is one the chart at KLIFand KJR and just went on KING.Phone requests giant Mouth & MacNeal. It exploded

35-19 KJRB and is #4 in phone requests. It isgetting top 10 phones at KING. #9 WROV, #1WKRB. Chart: KLIF, WRIT. New believer: KOL.Stan Bly and Long John have done a greatpromotion job for Mercury.

Strong secondary play for David Idema "HouseOn Holly Road" on Buddah.

Beautiful record of the week: Raspberries.Chart: KDWB, WPDQ. On: WKBR, WASH, KSD.

Staple Singers This record has come through allthe way as we predicted from the beginning. Infact, it is #8 WABC.

Harry Chapin Congratulations to Fred Ruppertand his hard-working staff on Elektra for


NUESTRO RINCON(Continued from page 46)

Latin record producers from Texas got together last week inNew Braunfels, Texas for the purpose of creating an associationof record manufacturers that could unite their efforts toward abetter understanding, friendship and communication among them.15 of the most important labels were present and agreed in creat-ing the association as follows: Cruz Guerrero, President and aforce of executives integrated by Paulino Bernal from Bernal Rec-ords, McAllen, Tony Menendez from Marsal Productions, SanAntonio, Manuel Rangel from Rangel Distributors, San Antonio,Arnaldo Ramirez Jr. from Royalco International, McAllen, andRay Alfaro from El Chamizal Records, San Antonio, Texas. Nextmeeting was held at Travel Lodge Hotel on April 26. I deeplycongratulate all members of the association for an example thatshould shortly be followed by other members of the industry inother areas. It could help a lot! . . It seems that prices in latinrecords will be established in Miami at $3.98 for a stereo disc.Almost all distributors are anxious to go ahead with the newformula but the one from RCA. It's a shame!

Borinquen released "Aquellos Besos que to Di" by Trio LosAndinos that smashed several weeks ago with "Para que no meOlvides." . . Nacho Sanabrina recorded "Amada Amante" inlatin soul rhythm ... Salvador Solis Hernandez is doing an excel-lent job as announcer and Musical Director for KALI Radio inLos Angeles. All deejay copies should be addressed as follows:Salvador Solis Hernandez, KALI Radio, 5723 Melrose Ave., Holly-wood, California 90038 ... Leonardo Favio has created a complexof offices to take care of all his various businesses. They arelocated at Ave. Corrientes 1922, First Floor, Buenos Aires,Argentina .. . RCA released in Argentina a single by Juan Mar-celo, also a member of the duet Juan y Juan, as a soloist. Thethemes are "Vivo Solo, a Mi Manera" that could make it real bigand "Llueve y yo Sin Verte." Roberto Jordan could click interna-tionally with "No se ha Dado Cuenta" .. Andy Russell signed asan exclusive artist with Orfeon Records . . Ghetto Records hasannounced that George Febo has sold his complete interest in thecompany to singer -entertainer and writer, Joe Bataan. Joe, re-cording artist for Fania Records, announces that his office islocated at 850 7th Ave., in New York. At present, negotiations arebeing made with Roulette and Fania Records for independent pro-ducing by Joe. Ghetto has also announced the appointment of RayCollazo as promotion man in Philadelphia. It is Joe Bataan's hopeto affiliate Ghetto Records with the Federal Government Anti -Poverty program on a non-profit basis.

By EDDIE BRIGGS

Grand Ole Opry star Little Jimmy Dickensmade one of his rare California tours last weekheadlining an evening of country music atKnott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, outside ofLos Angeles. Other recent coast visitors havebeen Bobby Bare and Waylon Jennings.

A few weeks back, we recommended the "BillWoods from Bakersfield" cut from the new

Eddie Briggs Merle Haggard Capitol album, "Let Me TellYou About A Song." We've received a good number of commentsfrom jocks nationwide on the song, written by ace songsmith-singer Red (Suitcase) Simpson. Haggard does a great job on thesong. Bill dropped us a card from Birmingham, Alabama duringa recent tour with Merle and the Strangers. You can see whatBill looks like when Hag's show comes to your town. The fellowpounding the piano with the Strangers is none other than BillWoods from Bakersfield.

The Country Music Association Board of Directors met inBakersfield last week sponsoring a show "by invitation only."Since this column didn't receive an invite, we didn't attend andcan't report on the show.

Tom Moore: Fresh Sound

Remember You Read It Here First Dept.: One of these days,soon, a top label will sign a dynamic young Bakersfield singernamed Tom Moore. We have heard this lad sing and can honestlysay we believe he will be a major artist within four years. Man-aged by George Hensley, Tom has what it takes. He could be thefreshest sounding act to hit the record business in years. Morelater.

Faron Young heading west for May appearances in Los Angeles,Bakersfield, Fresno and Stockton . . . Top-notch DJ John Trimbleof KMO-Tacoma, Washington reports SRO at The Firs ballroomlast week with the Canadian Sweethearts and Glenn Barber . . .

Buck Owens chart -bound with "Made In Japan" written by thehusband -wife team of Bob Morris and Faye Harden. Bob isprofessional manager of Blue Book Music, Bakersfield.

That hard working producer -promo sensation Little RichieJohnson is back with three new sides that promise to be hits onthe new American Heritage Records label. Produced by Richieat Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, the sides we like are"The Loser" by Darrell McCall; "Donut And A Dream" by theLeGarde Twins; and a mind blowing production on a Tom T. Hallsong by Jimmy Snyder "Candy In The Windows." Snyder had thebig hit two years ago on "Chicago Story," also A&R'd by John-son. Jocks wanting copies write Box 3, Belen, New Mexico.

Record World's Nashville -based VP John Sturdivant recentcoast visitor . . . Harold Cox and the Sooners heading for theNevada plush club circuit . . . Larry Daniels, who for years wasPD at KUZZ-Bakersfield, recent visitor in Fresno and Bakersfieldfrom his KTUF-Phoenix base ...
