Yu to Alternative helm at Virgin Records CanadaLaura Bartlett, Vice President of Promotionat Virgin Records Canada, has announcedthe appointment of Nancy Yu to the newly -created position of National AlternativePromotion Representative.

Yu, a 41/2 year veteran at Virgin, startedwith the company as receptionist and latercreated and ran the dance promotion depart-ment. She says the new position is an exten-sion of her current work. "It's anothermarket, and I don't think it should beoverlooked. Alternative is not just`alternative' new music. It's also othersmaller markets like dance and blues thatdon't fit into the Top 40 format.

"There are so many new artists that haveno chance to get exposed," she continues. "Ifeel that this is the only way they're going toget exposed . . . even if it's just to getsomething out there."

Yu says she will devote much of her timeto campus radio. "I feel that campus hasbeen left out. There's no national chart, asthere is in the States. I'm just going to get myfeet wet and try to come up with some way toget some kind of national system happening.It's such a waste to service all the campusstations with product, and no follow-up. Ifthat's the case . . . why service them in thefirst place?"

Yu goes on to point out that "All the

CIRPA blueprints planfor government assistanceThe Canadian Independent RecordProduction Association (CIRPA) sent a clearmessage to the Ontario government, pointingout some of the problems facing independentlabels and the importance of the independentrecording sector in the future of the province.CIRPA recommended that the Ontariogovernment establish a $5 million a yearsupport program for the industry, suggestingthat it be labelled the Ontario SoundRecording Industry Development Program.

CIRPA's approach to the Ontariogovernment was prompted by a study of theindependent recording sector in Ontario,carried out by Earl Rosen and Associates.The study pointed up the importance offurther copyright protection and made itclear that this was a "high risk, high returnindustry with a need for sources of workingcapitol."

The study also suggested that theOntario government "work closely" with theindustry in its fight for "an effective"Copyright Law in Canada.

CTV's Shirley Solomon, Ballroom Dancing and a lineup of comedians incluiding Larry

Horowitz, David Merry and Glen Foster. Each of these guest artists appear along

with the regular on -board entertainers who, for the most part, are Canadians. The entire

program is geared toward Canadians with a majority of passengers from Canada.

100 cities on one tour. "I find it very rewarding, particularly

the producing side, because you have the personal satisfaction of being able to create a

theatrical show which goes out and makes people very happy. As a concert promoter you're always working with someone else's band, but when you produce your own

theatrical venture it's really a product of your own sweat and ingenuity. You've been in-

volved from the storyboard stage to the opening of the show, and there's a lot of satisfac-

tion in that." Andrews proudly explains that CPI has

racked up a number of firsts in the theatre business, including a Hawaiian stint for the

musical Cats. "And we were the first pro- moters to take a major touring Broadway musical to Alaska. Last year we took Cats up

there, and this October we're taking up the Canadian company of Les Miserables."

Under Andrews, CPI is merging its ex-

" Rollercoaster" retail season sees CDs boom

This summer has been a "rollercoaster" for retail, says Stewart Duncan, manager of Sam

The Record Man's flagship Yonge St., Toronto, store This has been widely regarded as a soft

season at retail, due in part to a dearth of superstar releases. "Towards the end of the summer there has been a lack of major new

titles to bring people into the stores," agrees Duncan. "Relatively speaking, we haven't

been that busy. We've still had good business, but compared to last year it's a bit

off." He says he expects business to pick up as some major projects are released in the

next few weeks, and comments that "it has been a zoo here the last few days."

The saving grace for retail, he says, has been the boom in sales of catalogue items on

compact disc. "CDs are the biggest dollar - getter. Especially with the budget ones, peo-

ple don't buy one or two, they buy multitudes. When people buy a CD player

they don't want to have one CD to play, they want a selection."

He says he doesn't expect CD sales to drop off in the near future. "Every week there are old catalogue titles being issued on CD. And there are a lot of things they haven't put out yet on disc, so I think it'll be a

while before sales drop off. Fewer than 20 percent of households have CD players, so

it's just the tip of the iceberg. Once they get that number up, there will be a lot more people buying CDs."

But he advises that for CD sales really to take off, prices will have to come down.

"With the exception of a couple of companies, the newer releases are pretty pricey, which is discouraging people from getting in-

to compact discs. When they see a $19.99 or $21.99 new release and they can get the

cassette for $8.99, it makes them hesitant to pick up a CD player. The gap has to narrow with the newer titles. The catalogue titles have narrowed, and that's making a dif-

ference."

perience as a rock promoter with live theatre, creating a new type of theatrical experience.

In conjunction with the Mirvishes, CPI presented Les Miz in Concert in front of

50,000 people at Toronto's Skydome last August. "It was a revolutionary style of event," comments Andrews. "We took the

cast of the show and put a hundred piece orchestra behind it with video screens and special effects. I think the flavour of our con-

cert attraction business is being infiltrated in- to the the legitimate theatrical business. I

think we're metamorphosing the touring business into something that has never been

seen before." Andrews is also proud of a new venture

which will bring live musicals to smaller centres across North America. "We have a really

exciting, and I think revolutionary, project," he elaborates. "It's an arena tour of Cats to

secondary markets in the U.S. and Canada where the show hasn't played. We've iden- tified more than 100 cities with population bases of 100,000 -plus which don't have an

O'Keefe Centre or Royal Alex type of venue, but they all have a ball or hockey arena. So

we're taking out a national tour of Cats, with a show that has been redesigned to play

arenas, which will go out in the spring of '91."

Andrews is excited about CPI's future plans, which include a continuation of their

successful summer musical series at the O'Keefe Centre, now in its fifth year, and an

upcoming touring production of the Tony Award -winning Broadway hit Grand Hotel.

It seems that, in the future, Andrews' "low profile" activities will be reaching an even greater number of North Americans.

Retirement lodge planned for arts community

If "everything goes well," a retirement lodge for members of the performing arts may be

open by the fall of 1992. The Performing Arts Lodges of Canada (P.A.L.), a registered

charitable non-profit organization, was incorporated in 1986 after two earlier

nationwide surveys found that Canada's arts community supported such a place. Patty Gail, P.A.L.'s secretary

administrator, says that the organization will be able to have the first of a possible three

lodges built in Toronto by 1992. She says that P.A.L. "needs to have a building permit by March of 1991" to ensure that the facility will

be constructed. But she adds that possible complications with the City of Toronto, in

the form of approval for re -zoning the proposed site, may kill the plans. P.A.L.'s goals

are "To provide residential accommodation for aged, poor or disabled persons who have

rendered services in or to the Performing Arts in Canada."

Those eligible would include actors, writers, producers, dancers, musicians and others. P.A.L. has been endorsed by the

American Federation of Musicians (Canada) and members of ACTRA and EQUITY.

Among the celebrities cited as aiding in the raising of funds and awareness for the

proposed Toronto, Vancouver and Maritimes lodges are Greene, Pierre Burton, Dinah

Christie, Don Harron and Jan Rubes.

Trouble in retail land ... ! There's moretrouble in the always changing retail fieldthan meets the eye . . . or anyone will admitto. What began as subtle cutbacks, ifcutbacks can be subtle, has turned into majorconcerns for some of the troops in the field,and for management. Rumour has it theremight be a few . . . no, change that to quite afew store closings over the next little while. Alack of knowledge of the industry and amistrust in sub -lieutenants can lead todisaster. (EC: Come on . . . sub -lieutenants!)

Quebec is still part of Canada ... ! Or itwas, the last time I read the Globe and Mail. Icame across a press release the other dayannouncing a world tour for a Quebec"superstar." In short, it said the tour wouldtake in Quebec "with options for Canada andthe United States." Just a harmless mistake, Iguess. (EC: Vive la superstar or LaBeer!)

There'll be a hot time on the Hill! It'sanyone's guess what's going to happen inregulatory land .. . it could be a jamboree, ora clog hop . . . but one thing's for sure,

"...the prophets of doom, the messengers ofmediocrity, will be overwhelmed by the newgeneration of competent, creative, confidentartisans, and by all those precedinggenerations who have already demonstratedtheir freshness of mind, their talent, and theircapacity for inspired leadership"

there'll be a lot of dancing going on.Rumours are flying so thick, in bothlanguages, that I don't even want to repeatany of them, because any one of the dozen orso I heard, just might happen. (EC: Don'tyou think there's room for a radio station inToronto that does nothing . . . ?)

The spirit is alive ... ! In spite of some ofthe doom beaters, I'm proud of the way theindependents are closing ranks and forming acommon bond to survive. What great quoteswe've had over the last few issues. Like anyindustry, there are bad times and good times,but if we concentrate on the bad times, thegood times will be hard to recognize.(EC: Take a programmer to lunch . . . !)

The battle of the giants ... t There couldbe a lot of fireworks in the booker/promoterfield over the next year. The new player in thegame of "big money events" is alreadystaking out territorial boundaries. It couldget so bad, we might even see "discount"concerts. (EC: That would leave some moneyto buy records . . . !)

I'm sitting on some hot news ... ! I havefive items . . . count them, one, two, three,four and five . . . but I'm sworn to secrecy.(EC: How can you be such a nice guy to fivepeople in this industry . . . ?) These items arepast the rumour stage . .. well, at least two ofthem are and everytime I think of them, Ibegin to twitch. The recording, broadcast,booking and retail industries will change sodrastically over the next couple or sixmonths, they'll be hard to recognize, and wejust might have one less daily to report thechange. Now . . . wouldn't that be a tragedy.(EC: Stop . . . I can't take anymore . . . !)

BX-93 raises awarenessof London area motoristsMotorists in the BX-93 listening area havebeen quick to take advantage of the freeemergency Call Police signs, a jointpromotion by the London radio station andMufflerman. More than 5,000 signs werepicked up within a matter of six weeks,prompting the station to extend thepromotion. London is one of just a fewmajor Ontario cities within the shadow ofHighway 401, one of the busiest freeways inNorth America.

"Because of the overwhelming responseto our Call Police signs, and with the supportof organizations like Mufflerman . . . wehave decided to continue to provide theseemergency signs free to the public for as longas there is a demand."

The Call Police emergency signs promo-tion is similar to one launched by SarniaM.P.P. Andy Brandt. Other organizationsfrom Windsor to Toronto, plus a number ofM.P.P.'s and numerous police forces haveapparently followed the lead of Brandt andBX-93.

The signs are available from BX-93 orany Mufflerman location, and will also beavailable at all station events and remotebroadcasts. "And best of all," concludesCosford, "they're free!"

On the cover of RPM ... ! They sing songsabout getting a story on the cover of theRPM, and we have many companiesPLEADING for a cover story . . . for theirforeign acts. We try to reserve the front pagefor Cancon performers and strangleyenough . . . we aren't asked very often for afront page story on a Canadian. There's justsomething about Canadian acts andpromotion that lacks a spark with theindustry. I guess when the talent is that great,you just don't need that extra push.(EC: Maybe it's the 30 percent crutch . . . !)

Blatant conflict of interest ... ! It seemsthere's a scandal about this guy's conflict ofinterest. I can't name him . .. but most of theindustry knows and it was only recently thatthe guys paying the bills found out just howbad it was and are about to quietly changethings. (EC: Very quietly. They don't want toadmit how serious it was . . . !) SHAME!!

Thursday ... Bloody Thursday! The ladyat the other end of the phone says, "I hearThursday is your busy day" and it wasThursday when she was calling, so I reallydidn't have a good answer for her . . . like,"Gosh! You're right! It is!" Well it is!!!That's the day we work for everybody acrossCanada who gets RPM. They don't knowthat we are really nice guys who talk on thephone or receive a dozen or so promo peoplea week. They only see the end result, so wededicate our Thursdays to them . . . and putthe paper to bed. Yes, it is busy and there canbe a lot of stress and pressure. Phone or dropin . . . Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday orFriday! (EC: How nicely put. Four wordswould have done nicely! Never on aThursday . . . !)

Videos in record stores ... ! It was a longtime coming, but long -form videos are finallystarting to make inroads on record retailers.And you can thank the New Kids On TheBlock for the action in record stores. Notlong ago, Michael Jackson made someprogress with video sell-throughs but not tothe degree the New Kids have. In Europe,record stores have been pushing music videosfor a long time. Finally we are starting to takean interest. It isn't round and flat, but recordstores are going to have to get acquaintedwith video tape. It's starting to be veryimportant.

New Kids' Step By Stepleads July certificationsIn less than two months after its release, StepBy Step by New Kids On The Block led theJuly metal parade with CRIA certification,for four times platinum (400,000 units,shipped). The album topped the RPM 1001Albums chart in the issue dated August 4th.Rather than continue with the boring, not tomention redundant, habit of certifying foreach consecutive platinum and gold status,CBS would appear to be happy making itspoint once. The only other multi -platinumcertification was another CBS act, Michael.Bolton, whose Soul Provider was certified asdouble platinum (200,000 units shipped).

On the cover of RPM ... ! They sing songs about getting a story on the cover of the RPM, and we have many companies

PLEADING for a cover story . . .

for their foreign acts. We try to reserve the front page

for Cancon performers and strangley enough

. . . we aren't asked very often for a

front page story on a Canadian. There's just something about Canadian acts and promotion that lacks a spark with the

industry. I guess when the talent is that great, you just don't need that extra push.

(EC: Maybe it's the 30 percent crutch . . .

!)

Blatant conflict of interest ... ! It seems there's a scandal about this guy's conflict of

interest. I can't name him . . .

but most of the industry knows and it was only recently that

the guys paying the bills found out just how bad it was and are about to quietly change

things. (EC: Very quietly. They don't want to admit how serious it was

. . . !) SHAME!!

Thursday ... Bloody Thursday! The lady at the other end of the phone says, "I hear

Thursday is your busy day" and it was Thursday when she was calling, so I really

didn't have a good answer for her . . .

like, "Gosh! You're right! It is!" Well it is!!! That's the day we work for everybody across

Canada who gets RPM. They don't know that we are really nice guys who talk on the

phone or receive a dozen or so promo people

a week. They only see the end result, so we dedicate our Thursdays to them

. . . and put

the paper to bed. Yes, it is busy and there can be a lot of stress and pressure. Phone or drop in

. . . Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or

Friday! (EC: How nicely put. Four words would have done nicely! Never on a

Thursday . . .

!)

Videos in record stores ... ! It was a long time coming, but long -form videos are finally

starting to make inroads on record retailers. And you can thank the New Kids On The

Block for the action in record stores. Not long ago, Michael Jackson made some

progress with video sell-throughs but not to the degree the New Kids have. In Europe,

record stores have been pushing music videos for a long time. Finally we are starting to take an interest. It isn't round and flat, but record

stores are going to have to get acquainted with video tape. It's starting to be very

important. (EC: Can you imagine owning Madame Butterfly on video

. . . !) Or that

new Presley series that just came out!)

New Kids' Step By Step leads July certifications

In less than two months after its release, Step By Step by New Kids On The Block led the

July metal parade with CRIA certification, for four times platinum (400,000 units,

shipped). The album topped the RPM 1001

Albums chart in the issue dated August 4th. Rather than continue with the boring, not to

mention redundant, habit of certifying for each consecutive platinum and status, CBS would appear to be happy making its point once. The only other multi -platinum

certification was another CBS ict, Michael Bolton, whose Soul Provider was certified as double platinum (200,000 units shipped).

Ironically, certifications for July/90 indicated a healthy jump of more than 300,

percent over last year (22 for this year as opposed to 6 for last July), this in spite of the

much ballyhooed "soft retail". As one industry observer noted: "It's

interesting and very reassuring to see how adoring fans can infuse such an overall

excitement within the recording industry." In the Toronto area alone, a record 63,000

bought tickets for the Kids' CNE concert and yet had enough money left over to

generate impressive sales for both their album and video product (Hangin' Tough, the

music video, registered a nine times platinum. for July while Step By Step and Hangin'

Tough Live each scored eight times platinum for the same month);

Solo platinum certifications went to MC Hammer (Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em),

Wilson Phillips (Wilson Phillips), Poison (Flesh And Blood), The Jeff Healey Band (Hell To Pay), Kenny G (Silhouette), Paula

Abdul (Shut Up And Dance), and Colin James (Sudden Stop).

Certifying gold were Alias (Alias), Soul II Soul (Volume II 1990) - A New Decade),

Northern Pikes (Snow In June), The London Quireboys (A Bit Of What You Fancy),

Bruce Hornsby/The Range (A Night On The Town), Taylor Dayne (Can't Fight Fate), Public Enemy (Fear Of A Black Planet),

Steve Vai (Passion And Warfare), and The Nylons (Rockapella). Platinum winners were Poison and James.

While black vinyl continues plunging, July certifications revealed there is still life in this configuration yet. Capitol certified MC

Hammer's U Can't Touch This as gold.

Nine -times platinum for New Kids' Tough video

New Kids On The Block continue to make news in the certification end of the business with CRIA's July music video certifications

being dominated by the popular Columbia band.

Hangin' Tough took the lead with a nine -times platinum certification (90,000 units shipped), while Hangin' Tough Live and their latest album, Step By Step each

certified as eight -times platinum. Tough Live and Step By Step were also certified as seven -

times platinum. Milli Vanilli's In Motion was the solo

gold (5,000 units shipped) music video certification for the month.

But it wasn't always easy being aguitar -driven pop band in the '805.

COVER STORY by Jill Lawless

The Jitters - powerful pop In the music business, everything old is new

again. More and more musicians are leaving studio pyrotechnics behind and returning to

their roots. This must come as a relief to The Jitters. The Toronto band's second Capitol release, Louder Than Words, and its debut single, `Til The Fever Breaks, are off to a strong start. But it wasn't always easy being a

-driven pop band in the '80s. "We got together in 1981," recalls

affable lead singer Blair Packham. "We played the club circuit in Toronto, and we

built up a pretty good following over the first

the No. 1 spot by a wide margin. She also holds down the top spot on the AC chart so look for Vision Of Love to have a healthy stay at No. 1. Her self -titled debut album also

this week to No. 14.

Quick trivia question.How many one -word artists with one -word album titles on the chart can you name? There are five in total.

When is a soundtrack a soundtrack? In spite of the fact that not one song is used

prominently in the movie, Days Of Thunder is reaping the benefits of an all-star

soundtrack, moving up to No. 9 this week. Three other albums from or inspired by

movies are also in the Top 20: The Pretty Woman soundtrack is at No. 2 and very close

to knocking off MC Hammer's Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em for the top spot,

Madonna's I'm Breathless at No. 11, and Jon Bon Jovi's Blaze Of Glory/Young Guns II at No. 20 with this week's biggest jump.

stands the test of time. couple of years. But it was really rough,

because at that time we were determinedly unfashionable. We were totally un-

fashionable. We're not particularly fashionable now, but guitar bands are more

in. At that time, keyboards were in, and we've never been that kind of band." He

admits that the band "did one laughable demo...We were under a lot pressure from

our manager of the time, who kept saying, `You have to be more modern.' So we did a demo with drum machines and synthesizers.

It's pretty hilarious even now." An independently -produced video in

1984 received substantial airplay on MuchMusic, and did much to boost the

band's profile. But by 1986, "we were about to break up for want of something better to

do." Fortunately, finalist honours in the 1987 Q107 Homegrown Contest attracted the

attention of Capitol Records, and a demo tape recorded with Paul Gross, owner of

Toronto's Phase One Studios, secured The Jitters a record deal. A self -titled album, released in

1987, garnered the band a hit single in

offence, and that's really important ... "

Last Of The Red Hot Fools. But The Jitters prefer now to see their first album as a

transitional record and a learning experience. "We liked the first album," says Packham, "but this one we love."

Packham explains that between the first album and the second, the band developed a clearer idea of the kind of sound they wanted,

Buena Vista releases first long -form video

A two -volume music video of Elvis Presley, containing almost two hours of music and narration, is scheduled to be released by

Buena Vista Home Video August 17. The California company, which is part

of the Disney group, says Elvis: The Great Performances is the first of many long -forms

it will be making available. In a press release, Bill Mechanic, President, International

Theatrical and Worldwide Home Video, said "Our knowledge of the video industry will make us a formidable contender in the music video category, which is one of the real future

growth areas of video." He says that Buena Vista will be releasing long -form videos that

are more than "simple clip compilations taken from another medium or straight

concert tapings." The company's long -forms "will be conceived and developed specifically

for the long -form format." The Presley video, which contains 27

songs, is written and directed by Andrew Solt, who created the long -form 25X5: The

Continuing Adventures of The Rolling Stones and the musical films Imagine and

This Is Elvis. He calls The Great Performances "a kind of video album of his

greatest hits in performance."

and how to get it. "We're not confrontational people, and at first when it came time

to stand up for one thing or another, for song choice or whatever, we didn't know we could.

It took us a long time to figure that out. We've learned how to be confrontational

without people taking offence, and that's really important. We believed in making a

record that was more stripped -down, more like the band live: more piano -and organ - based in terms of keyboards, and generally

more guitar -based." The band's emerging musical direction

crystallized when members got together with Jules Shear, a respected songwriter and

author of hits for Cindi Lauper and The Bangles. Packham says the band had dream-

ed of collaborating with Shear on some songs, "and, miraculously, Jules was

interested in doing it. We got together with Jules and wrote a few songs and he started

saying 'Hey, it'd be great if I could produce you guys.' So we went to Capitol, and

Capitol agreed. "He was absolutely right for the record,

and we had a wonderful time. I've never had that experience with anybody else, that you

work with them and end up being pals." With Shear at the helm, The Jitters con- centrated on producing an energetic, organic

record. "The secret to the sound is fairly simple," Packham explains. "No double track-

ing, keep everything basic, don't overly ar- range. We used to think, if the guitar part

was just a strumming guitar part, 'We can't do that, it's too simple.' So we'd figure out

some complicated thing to do...Now we use the 'less is more' philosophy.

"Some of the songs on the first album don't work as stripped -down songs. They work as productions, or as band

arrangements. But these ones work as songs."

The Jitters don't claim to be starting a trend in returning to pop basics, but they do

say it has given them new confidence in their songs. In the words of bassist Matthew

Greenberg: "From what we've seen so far, just going out and playing the songs, it makes you feel like you could go out and stand up in

front of anybody, anywhere, and play these songs." And Packham says the new approach "makes it easy for us to go out and do

the songs live, which was bit of a struggle with the first record. This is a much more

natural record. "It'll be interesting to see how the old

Jitters fans react, but I think the potential is there for it to be pretty cool."

Hamilton's CKOC recently presented Tommy Page in person, at the Lime Ridge Mall, an event that attracted a crowd of more than 3,500. The young Sire recording artist is seen above signing autographs for his young fans.

Ode to a country listenerby Jeff McNeiceHow tough is it to wake up for the Q104morning show? In my view . . . not verydifficult at all. In fact, 5 a.m. is the best timeof the day . . more people should try it.

I would like to tell you my thoughtsabout the loyalty of country music listeners.There is no doubt in my mind that there is nofan of music more loyal than that of acountry music listener.

I have been doing the country morningshow in this market for a very brief sevenmonths now . . . and there is an obvious trenddeveloping. Though country music is con-stantly changing styles, the listener seems toaccept this with an "Oh well" attitude.

What's the difference between a powerlistener and a country listener? With acountry listener, it's life, living and reality.It's not just divorce, trauma, fooling aroundand all the classic cheating songs. This fanlives and breathes the radio station. Our fansare not "hicks" on the farm. They areteachers, doctors and lawyers, real peoplefrom rural and urban areas.

Just as a reference, I'll call theQ -Country listener "Marcie". Marcie checksup on us almost daily. As part of her routine,she wants to know if Jeff is alright; wants totell us her thoughts . . . and she knows shewill get a response. You can't fool thesepeople. Give them the goods. If you can'tplay a request, you better darn well tell heryou can't, or she'll be on your butt, not thenext day, week or whenever . . . but rightafter your shift at 10 a.m. sharp!

Marcie will call with programming sug-

Q -Country' s "Marcie"gestions, contests, promotions and hey, evenwhat we jocks should and shouldn't say. Andyou know what . . . more than once, heropinion will be absolutely on the nose. Casein point. I was having a very busy morning,spots, contests, wake-up calls and more. Allof a sudden it was 8 minutes before 10 am,and there was Marcie. I hadn't drawn awinner as I promised I would . . . and youknow, she was right. Embarrassing? Hell no!Flattering.

The one thing I've learned in the pastmonths on Q104 is that Marcies keep you ontrack and keep you getting up in themorning. They do make your day. Thecountry fan is an extremely polite individual,and if you care about them . . . they'll watchout for you. It gives one a proud feeling ofself-worth . . . knowing you help people smilein the wee hours of the morning!!

Marcie isn't afraid to call and say,"Hey! You don't sound yourself today.What's bugging you? This happened to meabout a month of doing the country morningshow. Marcie says, "I've never heard youbefore (I was jocking on our sister stationPower 92 CKCY), but I can tell you aren'tyourself." She was right . . . I was petrifiedabout starting on, a new station, in the

The first isthat proceeds are going to care andcounselling projects in earthquake -shattered Armenia. The second is thatit will save you having to rifle throughyour record collection in search of yourold pomp rock and hard rockfavourites. Compiled here are fourteenhits, some of them classics (Free's AllRight Now, Rush's Spirit Of Radio),some less so (Starship's We Built ThisCity, Mike & The Mechanics' SilentRunning). The single, Smoke On TheWater 90, is a supergroup anthemwhich, despite the plethora of talentsinvolved (on guitar alone it featuresRitchie Blackmore, Dave Gilmour, Tonylommi, Alex Lifeson, Brain May andGeoff Beauchamp), doesn't comeclose to the power of the Deep Purpleversion; the original Smoke blows thisone out of the water.

Oceanview Motel hasall the right folk rock moves: it'sacoustic guitar -heavy and the lyrics arepersonal/political and vaguely angst -ridden. The first single, I'll Watch OverYou, is wistful and lowkey, but othertracks (Nothing But The Truth, WhereLoneliness Lives) show that Moore hasa more forceful side. She doesn'texactly rock, but when she sheds herfolksy diffidence she has an ear -catching voice that can pack a punch.Produced by Barney Bentall andLegendary Hearts' guitarist ColinNairne.

It'sespecially nice to hear the crowdgetting into McCartney's rendition ofHey Jude, only recently performedlive for audiences. Produced byChris Kimsey and Steve Smith.(cassette reviewed) - PS

STRYPERAgainst The LawEnigma - 7 73527-4-FFor Against The Law, Christian hardrockers Stryper have abandoned theirbumblebee jerseys and overtlyreligious references. If this is to boosttheir credibility with the metal crowd, itshould work. Stryper's metal -edgedhard rock has enough blistering guitarsolos and screaming vocals to prick upthe ears of metal devotees, and melodyand harmony enough to satisfy rockradio. Shining Star, the most anthemictrack on the album, is a wise choice forthe first single. Radio programmerswill also want to check out the ballad,Lady, while metalheads can get intothe high speed delights of the titletrack, Two Time Woman and Caught InThe Middle. Parents worried aboutSatanic influences can breathe easy,and plug their ears. (cassette reviewed)

JOHNNY VAN ZANT PoplRockBrickyard RoadAtlantic - CD -82110-PThe younger brother of Ronnie (the latelead singer of Lynyard Skynyrd) andDonnie (38 Special), Johnny takes atack somewhat different from hisbrothers. On the ballads, his vocalstretching is superb, particularly on thetitle track taken as the first single, asad recall of happier days when thebrothers were all together, and onYoung Girls, both key. But for a surpris-ingly barbed rock attack, Party In TheParking Lot and Hearts Are Gonna Rollhave the muscle to attract new hardrock fans. Produced by Brian Forakerand Robert White Johnson.

Gracias is an interesting and inspiring collection of Latin American

instrumental and vocal tracks. While it does have its flaws, Toro has brought

enough of what appears to be his own good nature to music. Involved with the

writing of all but two of the album's nine songs, the portly Puerto Rican has

made use of some spectacular musicians and singers to complement

his own musical talents as both. Perhaps not an album for purists of the

New World Spanish sound, Gracias, nonetheless, is a fun piece of

work. Produced by Rae Serrano. (cassette reviewed) -
