Ruff Releases 'Truth'On Own Oak Label

By TONY LAWRENCE

HOLLYWOOD - Ray Ruff,President of the newly formedLone Star Records, has re-jected offers that went as highas $200,000 front money and14% of the retail and as lowas $100,000 for his twin -LPBiblical package, "Truth ofTruths," and now plans to re-lease it himself on his subsi-diary label, Oak Records.

The biggest reason for notgoing with an already estab-lished company was mostly be-cause no label could assure himChristmas release and as a re-sult, "We have the vehicle and

Ruff has set up a network of38 independent distributorsacross the country and 15 regu-lar promotion men in as manymajor markets.

DIALOGUETHE VIEWPOINTS OF THE INDUSTRY

This page will be devoted each week to your opinions. We welcome letters on all subjects pertinent to our industry. There may be atime when your thoughts differ from ours editorially. You are welcome to express them here.

Sid Bernstein Speaks OutBy MIKE SIGMAN

NEW YORK-Sid Bernstein has been in the music businesssince his graduation from Columbia University in 1948. He startedout as a manager, handling Latin star Esy Morales, and then wenton to Shaw Artists, a blues -jazz oriented agency. From there, hejoined CMA as an agent, where he spent the middle '50s. Around1960, he became a promoter, and he engineered appearances forstars such as Judy Garland. His most successful and significantachievements came in the early and middle '60s when he be-came the first American promoter to recognize the importance ofthe Beatles. Sid presented the Beatles at Carnegie Hall, and pro-moted their two spectacular, unforgettable concerts at SheaStadium.

Today, Sid is heavily into management, and he presently handlesColumbia's Rascals, Polydor's Mandrill, Kama Sutra's Buzzy bin -hart, Columbia's Peaches & Herb and Weather Report and Para-mount's Richard Supa. He speaks here of his impressions of to-day's music scene in New York and his own personal hopes andplans for the future.

Record World: With the Fillmore gone and so many otherhalls faltering, what are your thoughts about New York as a cen-ter for live music?

Bernstein: The New York scene is so sad. It misses the ex-citement and vitality that a city as rich as ours is in culture and

should misses the chutzpah and the charismaBill Graham; even though his visits were intermittent, you felthis presence and his creativity when he was here. I would verymuch have liked to purchase the Fillmore from him, but the realestate was priced so high that it became an impossible deal forme to handle. I would like to move into a situation where I couldpresent live music on a weekly basis, and where I wouldn't haveto depend upon "blockbuster" names and supergroups to fill theseats. I've always been interested in developing and presentingnew names and great new talent.

Record World: Is this feasible in New York anymore?Bernstein: Costs in terms of rent and ads are so high that the

quick answer is that it is not feasible, but I'm not one to give upeasily; maybe come up with a place. I need the excitementto fulfill my own needs and desires. New talent not lucky enoughto have a hit record needs an important New York showcase andthe young ticket buyers need a place to go. There are a couple ofguys that are doing some nice things at Town Hall; the Gaslightand the Bitter End are helping. But somehow you don't feel theexcitement and drama that a Fillmore provided. There was some-thing about the way Bill Graham and Kip Cohen handled it thatgave even "mediocre" weekend attractions importance.

On SecurityRecord World: What about the recent incidents and controversy

concerning concert security?Bernstein: Security is a problem and I have dealt with it from

the very first Beatles concert at Carnegie Hall up to the recentGrand Funk concert at Shea Stadium. Each situation requires itsown unique way of solving the problem. For example, at theGrand Funk coneert we knew there would be 55,000 people fillingthose seats. All types of people are represented in any crowd thatlarge. The philosophy behind our preparations was for our secur-ity to act as a deterrent for any "nut" or grandstander trying toupset or destroy, and it turned out to be a very memorable eveningfor the fans. I think the security force should be reoriented in itsthinking; rather than a group that is there to use nightsticks orbrute strength or karate, the thinking should be to protect thekids and to be gentle and firm, but only in an oral manner.

What bugs me is the open display of drugs at many concertstoday. I hate it and I detest the performers who promote theuse of drugs.

Record World: How did you react to the controversy over themusical quality of the Grand Funk concert?

Bernstein: Any group that can fill up 55,000 seats must havea reason for its existence, 55,000 people walked out of thatstadium fulfilled, excited, rewarded. These people paid to seethis group; no one twisted their arms. A good many of themstood on line for 12-24 hours the day tickets went on sale. I'm notabout to argue with the tastes of these people or to question them.It happened and it went off well.

Record World: What about the future of New York as a centerfor recorded music?

On New YorkBernstein: I think we're lucky in New York that we have a

Clive Davis, powerful head of a major record company, who isalways accessible; that we have Jerry Wexler and the Ertegunbrothers to listen, discover and promote dozens upon dozens ofgreat black artists. We also have Jac Holzman, Larry Uttal andNeil Bogart whose doors and ears are always open wide for newartists. It's good to have someone with the special taste that JerrySchoenbaum has. The fact that New York has so many top recordlabel executives makes it an important center for those of us whooperate here. Where before I spoke about the unhappy picturein the concert promoting area, this is the other side of the coin.

What bothers me about the recording scene is that some ex-ecutives at agencies, record companies and other areas of ourbusiness are so guilty and even cruel when they have their secre-taries say they're not in or "not available" to people whose namesthey don't recognize, to newcomers in the business who aremaking their first rounds. I'm bugged when because my name isSid Bernstein and I've been around along time a guy will pickup the phone when the two guys who called before me might havehad more to say than I have.

I'm hurt at the injustices done to people who have not achievedsome reputation or "made it." I can only say that you have tofight past the ignorance and unkindness and keep ringing andknocking until you find some responsive soul.

Record World: In view of these problems, where do you thinkmusic is headed?

On PricingBernstein: After sitting at the Garden and watching George

Harrison I got the feeling that what Harrison was doing wasperforming as a single with a big band behind him. It was sothoroughly enjoyable, and it seems to me that this is where we'reheading. There will be more single artists developed and enjoyedand fewer groups. I also feel that if we don't keep our prices downboth on fees for acts and prices for tickets, we'll hurt ourselveswith young audiences who are already being gouged by super-stars and superstars' prices. Live music is suffering because ofa dearth of places to be seen and to be developed and it seemslike the total responsibility rests with the record company formaking a new act or a new star. Today's television certainly lendslittle or no help in the furtherance of a young artist's career.The business gets tighter and tighter just like a top 40 playlist,and a new young artist has to be almost superhuman to with-stand the pressures, to ride out the disappointments and frustra-tions. Perhaps if the war were to end, hopefully, next month,there might be a stream of new energies and new entrepeneursand a vibration of happiness that could lead to a new era ofentertainment and places to expose it.

Record Word: What do you see in store for the groups youmanage?

Bernstein: The Rascals: the new group with the two girls upfront has 'been out doing the colleges and getting standing ova-tions. Mollie Hott and Annie Sutton could be stars in their ownright. Mandrill: They're so heavy; I'm planning a headline datefor them at Shea Stadium. They are two records away fromachieving ballpark crowds. Buzzy Linhart: A brilliant performer,

CAMPUS RECORD REPORTThe ProblemsOf Service

By GARY K. COHEN Record company service to campus stations, while neveroutstanding, seems to have greatly deteriorated and in some casesit has been no more than non-existent, according to the number ofcomplaints against record companies for poor service received bythose of us who write about and for campus radio.

Rather than ignore the problem, which admittedly is a two-waystreet, it might be better to discuss the problem in the open.Hopefully, we may get some answers from both sides of the fence-the record manufacturers, distributors, campus stations.

Stations were asked if the record company should hold allproduct over the summer and send it in one mailing at the be-ginning of the fall term. Although Warner Brothers Recordspromised to do so, this has not been carried out.

Motown Records placed campus stations on its mailing list fora few months, then took everyone off for the summer (May -October?) except for one record which they mailed. Now theyrefuse to put anyone else on their list, although the number ofstations on the air this year has increased approximately 5%.

London Records still refuses to place anyone on their mailinglist. When a campus broadcaster calls for service, all he hearsis how the records which London sent to the station must havebeen stolen.

Capitol Records has not mailed records to stations that sub-scribed to their album service.

Many distributors do not answer letters, phone calls or requestsfor product. The exceptions seem to be Elektra, Atlantic, Buddah,United Artists and A&M. These companies have received but afew complaints which are promptly answered and serviced withproduct.

Warner Brothers, on the other hand, has abolished theircampus department and rep system after Ron Saul said he wouldmatch his campus program against any in the country.

The importance of campus radio should be established by now.And the campus writers are not in it for the money. They haveparticipated at campus stations while attending schools of highereducation. They got their chops there, and realize the importanceof getting Joplin, Hendrix, Moody Blues, the Band, MarvinGaye and Richie Havens albums to try to be relevant to theiraudience.

Case in point: When the first Poco album came out, WCFM,Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., did a promotion on theLP in coordination with a personal appearance of the group.It sold 50 pieces. The campus has 1,500 students. If this could bedone every time-if 50 albums could be sold to every 1,500 peoplein the country-then each album would sell 6,000,000 copies. Even50 out of a potential 300 students, how much more would recordcompanies, artists and campus radio benefit?

Enough of this yelling and screaming about poor service.Enough of the poor excuses from both sides of the fence. Yes,there are good campus stations and there are bad campus sta-tions. And no, there is no professionally oriented station in thecountry that expects to get its records on a silver platter. Thewriters try to cooperate with both sides.

Now it's time for the sides to cooperate with each other.

CONCERT REVIEWS

Joy Spreads to Carnegie Hall NEW YORK - Capitol's JoyWagon rolled into New Yorklast week (24) and stopped offat Carnegie Hall long enoughto present a large crowd witha rarity: three quality acts inone concert.

Leading off was Joyous Noise,basically a soft -rock group whoperformed quite well for anopening group. The interplay ofacoustic guitars on several ofthe numbers was the outstand-ing feature of their set, and"It's a Question of Direction,"the best all-around song, mightfare well as a single.

Leo Kottke was next, and hedemonstrated once again thathe is one of the finest guitaristson the contemporary scene.There seemed to be no limits toKottke's virtuosity as he movedeasily from classical to folkpicking to bottleneck. When heplays his 12 -string guitar, thereare so many things going onthat it's hard to believe onlyone musician is playing. Kottkedoes not have a great voice, andthe songs he sang were theweakest of the night, but hemore than made up for anydeficiencies with his many fineinstrumentals, including a ter-rific encore duet with Joyous

Noise's guitarist.First -Rate Group

Joy of Cooking, the headlin-ers, are a first-rate group whodeserve even more than the in-creased attention they havebeen getting lately. Their sec-ond Capitol LP, "Closer to theGround," proves their highlevel of ability beyond a doubt.

Female vocalists TerryGarthwaite and Toni Brownwere the centers of attentionthroughout at Carnegie Hall,and they provided some greathack -and -forth scat singingand harmonies on "Mocking-bird" and "Closer to theGround." Both singers wereequally able to communicategentleness through severalsofter songs, and the only dis-appointment was that theydidn't sing "The War You Left"from their second album, whichis one of the prettiest songs re-corded by anyone in a longtime.

It shouldn't take long beforeJoy of Cooking is one of Amer-ica's most popular groups, or,for that matter, before Capi-tol's Joy Wagon becomes one ofthe most successful touringcombinations of the year.

The Night They Cheered Old Jounie Up NEW YORK - In her firstconcert in some time, and herlast for the foreseeable future,Joan Baez played last Monday(27) to a Carnegie Hall over-stuffed with devoted admirers.

The concert was unique inthat it was a benefit for Da-nilo Dolci, a Sicilian social ac-tivist and writer who has, with-out fanfare, been working allhis life for non-violent changein his country. There was noth-ing unusual, however, aboutthe quality of the show: it was,as are all of Joan's concerts, anear -perfect blend of joy, ro-mance, social awareness, spir-ituality, musicianship and,most important, beautiful sing-ing.

The Vanguard artist, who isat the peak of her popularitywith a smash single and album,sang many of the songs withwhich she has become associ-ated; she did "Carry It On,""Joe Hill," "Happy Day," "CumBaya," etc. She also performeda few songs of her own, demon-strating a new-found and re-markable ability as a songwrit-er. Most noteworthy were twooriginals, "When Time Is Stol-en," a touching song featuring

a melodic guitar break duringwhich Joan also showed herselfto be a fine guitarist, and asong addressed to Bob Dylan,"Can't You Hear the Lambs.Bobby?"

After an intermission, Joanintroduced Robert Loggia, anAmerican actor of Sicilian de-scent, who read some of Dolci'swritings, and finally Dolci him-self came out for a brief bow.Following this, Miss Baez re-turned for a final set, which in-cluded her No. 1 single, "TheNight They Drove Old DixieDown," and several originals.

The crowd was almost rev-erent in its silence throughoutthe performance, but when theconcert was over, they unani-mously stood and sang alonewith the encore. If there wasanything disheartening aboutthe evening, it was the knowl-edge that Joan Baez may notbe performing in public forawhile. Mike Sigman

`Pentagon Papers' on Wax

Bernie Travis, Herb Gluck

NEW YORK - The Penta-gon Papers affair may be re-ceding from the front pages ofour daily newspapers, but ifHerb Gluck and Bernie Travisare right, the fiasco is still inthe forefront of people's minds.Gluck and Travis have created,written and produced and LPfor Audio Fidelity called "ThePentagon Papers," scheduledfor immediate release.

The two partners stopped byRecord World recently to dis-cuss the album, which they la-beled "black comedy, the firstalbum of its kind that dealswith a historical truth in anOrson Wellesian manner." Ac-tually, the record is a narrativeof the factual history of theVietnam war, interspersed withimitations, running gags andmany other comedic featureswhich make it essentially a hu-morous experience, at least onfirst listening. It is a sort ofcomposite of styles, using tech-niques from such popular anddiverse sources as "The FirstFamily Abum" and some ofFiresign Theatre's work, andthe result is quite unique.

According to Travis, whowas to star as Lenny Bruce inthe off-Broadway version of"Dirty Mouth," the purpose ofthe album is satiric, to makepeople laugh and simultaneous-ly to make them rethink his-tory. Both he and Gluck feelthat the market is just rightfor "The Pentagon Papers,"and they are planning a bigpromotional push in conjunc-tion with Audio Fidelity.

The voices on the record areprimarily those of Travis, as-sisted by several other actors.The story has several runningthemes, such as the lack ofcommunication due to the lan-guage barrier between Wash-invton and Hanoi.

RAK Hits Here(Continued from page 13)reveals Ron Alexenburg, VP,Epic/Columbia Custom Labels:"I Believe (In Love)," HotChocolate; "Tom Tom Turn-around," New World; and "TapTurns on the Water," C.C.S.

If this record is not too con-troversial or sophisticated forthe record -buying public, Tra-vis and Gluck could have a bigseller on their hands.

DAVY JONESBell 6067Ex-Monkee's first solo album was pro-duced by Jackie Mills and arranged byAllCapps, the team that worked wonderswith Bobby Sherman. Appeal is muchthe same here. Some will call it bubble -gum but, as was the case with theMonkees, this is good clean fun.

FIND THE SUNCROWFOOT-ABC S 745.Trio impressed with its implicity andgood taste on its first album. Now hav-ing switched labels, they maintain highstandards by keeping it elementary. Thesingle, "Travel in Time," is an out-standing rock piece and could helpbreak album and group. _

they actually need. Effectiveimmediately, we will cut outall free goods as incentives toorder. Instead of 1,000 recordsat 520 and 300 free, we willnow sell records at 520 with adiscount of 23% on all orders.

Misconception"Recently a lot of fuss has

been made by radio stationsover their misconception ofwhat 'free goods' actuallymeant. Free goods have beendiscussed or written up in theBill Gavin sheet, at the NARMmeeting and other similar con-ferences. We have done awaywith this antiquated pricingstructure. We hope in the nearfuture to make additionalchanges to help strengthen ourindustry.

"Any business where 100%what you sell can eventuallycome back is a sick business.Any business where the cost(artist royalties, musiciansunion scale, pressing costs,costs of labor, artist advancesand studio costs) of doing busi-ness continues to rise andsqueezes the profit to near nilis a sick business. The latter iswhy eventually all labels willincrease their list price to $5.98.(Note: Almost all labels selltheir desirable artists productat $5.98 and newcomers-untilthey become important-at$4.98 list).

"Our industry must concernitself over its future. We haveto start looking out for eachother and continue to build ourimage. We hope other independ-ent labels will fall in line withour new pricing structure."

From Atlantawith Love

Thanks to all the writers, producers, artists, andradio stations who wrote, recorded, and pro-grammed our songs and or artists this summer.Because of you it was indeed "The SensationalSummer of '71" with pop chart winners:

"Yo -Yo" --The Osmonds"Stagger Lee"-Tommy Roe"All My Hard Times"-Joe Simon"Birds of A Feather"-The Raiders"How Can I Unlove You"-Lynn Anderson"The Mighty Clouds of Joy"-B. J. Thomas

And country hits:"Open Up The Book"-Ferlin Husky"How Can I Unlove You"-Lynn Anderson"Indian Lake" and "Another Night of Love"-Freddy Weller

It was a Super sensitive summer when"Hey Girl Don't Bother Me"hit #1 in England and is now being releasedin the United States.

Summer is gone, but the memories linger on;and as sure as there are seasons to come, we'llbe sending you new songs from Atlanta with love.

CLUB REVIEW

Ex-Monkee ShinesAt the Gaslight NEW YORK Michael Ne-smith, "Woolhat" of the Monkeeera, opened at the GaslightWednesday, Sept. 22, and per-formed to a highly receptiveaudience.

The RCA artist's hit singleof a year ago, "Joanne," re-turned him to the attention ofthe public following his reignas one-fourth of the successfulquartet.

Nesmith shone on such num-bers as "Silver Moon," "Dif-ferent Drum" and his new sin-gle, "I've Just Begun to Care."A most engaging performer, headded to the musical pleasan-tries with his carefree, down-home humor. Truly a delightfulevening! Fred Goodman

Incidentally, it was on Aug. 12,1947, the Second Anniversary of VJ Day, thatthe Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed my"Symphony" over the Mutual Broadcasting sys-

Paul Siegel tern, on a world-wide hookup . .. Happy to hearthat Adam & Eve (no kidding, that's their real names) were votedby the German Music Poll as the No. 1 duo of Germany today.Their new LP, "Adam & Eve," hit the bullseye, also their single,"Ave Maria no Morro" . . . Erni Bilkenroth of Marbot pubberyin Hamburg has a flock of hot new singles which please the djssuch as "Der Mozart Zopf," "Ich will lehen nur mit Dir," "Dubist wunderbar," and so are you, dear Erni . . .Uwe Lencher,Polydor PR boss, cabled and called me from his hot house in Ham-burg to tell me of Melanie's new single, "Please Love Me." I do.

Don't forget to send Dieter Weidenfeld of Manta Music inMunich a box of matches every week so that he can keep onchain-smoking while promoting Hildegard Knef. It's about timeHilde made a new record for her German public, which worshipsher . . . Thank you, Dr. Miiller-Blattau of Chappell in Hamburg,for your nice letter re: my broadcast, "Between Broadway &Kurfiirstendamm (Berlin)." Humbly, I thank the artists who ap-pear on this show ... Sounds like Sigi Loch's Kinney has a smashwith Graham Nash on "Military Madness" . . .Djs in the states, Iappreciate every spin you give to my standard, "Autumn Con-certo," and especially the vocal with Della Reese, "And That Re-minds Me" . . . Wilfried Jung, Electrola bigwig, happy to havepresented the Deep Purple their gold record. I predict big salesof his new album idea, "Parade der Stars" . . . Surprised andhappy to receive a letter from my old buddy, Sam Chase, whoasks me to meet his young cousin, Mark Starr, a symphonic con-ductor who is due to conduct the Berlin Symphony in October .. .

Here are some records which I predict will earn money in Ger-many-"Never Ending Song of Love" by the New Seekers onPhilips and "Summer Sand" by Dawn on Larry Uttal's Bell labeldistributed by CBS in Frankfurt . . .

LONDON-Major changes at Radio One this week, which in-clude the extension of the daily contemporary music show fromone to two hours. This program will also be transmitted on FMwaveband and will feature djs John Peel, Pete Drummond, AlanBlack and Bob Harris. Tony Blackburn will continue to presenthis daily breakfast program, this being his fifth successive yearin this slot, which was first introduced at the birth of Radio Onefour years ago. Other djs to be featured daily are Jimmy Young,Dave Lee Travis, Johnnie Walker and Terry Wogan. The morespecialized weekend shows will be hosted by Jimmy Saville, AlanFreeman, Johnny Moran, Stuart Henry, Ed Stewart, Mike Ravenand Noel Edmunds.

Congratulations to Rod Stewart on his much -deserved successin gaining number one position in both Record World charts lastweek. Stewart, who has been on the British music scene for someyears now, is yet another example of a great home-grown talentthat has been stifled through lack of media exposure and is onlyappreciated after gaining considerable success in the UnitedStates. However, at last he figures in both the U.K. charts thisweek, with his album at number one and his single at number two.

Plans for the 1972 Eurovision Song Contest are underway. Thisyear Britain will be represented by the New Seekers. Owing tolack of facilities in Monaco (last year's winners, who wouldnormally stage the next event), there has been some dispute asto which country should host. However, after discussions, theUnited Kingdom has been given this privilege, although the exactvenue is at present undecided. A short list of six songs will beselected between the MPA, BBC, and New Seekers' representa-tives, and these will be performed weekly in a new Cliff RichardBBC TV series. Viewers' votes will finally decide Britain's entryfor the competition, to be held on March 25, 1972. The winningsong, coupled with the runner-up, will be issued as a single by thegroup, but in the meantime they have chosen a Gary Sulsh/StuartLeathwood song "Good Old -Fashioned Music" for their first Poly-dor single to be issued on Oct. 15.

The competition surrounding "Mammy Blue" could well be thebattle of a]1 time of its kind, with three singles competing hereand five in the U.S.A. The original European hit by Los Pop Topsis taking second place at the moment to the popular Roger Whit-taker version which entered the U.K. top 50 this week. The thirdcut of the single is by Joel Dayde on the RCA -distributed Barclaylabel, but so far there is no sign of any of the four Americanversions being issued here.

Possibility, in the near future, of a Harrison/Starr/Lennonconcert at London's Wembley Stadium. All profits would be givento aid the homeless through the charity organization, Shelter.

. . . I believe that if AFN in Germany taks AFRTS dj RogerCarroll from Hollywood out of their programming in Germanythere will be a big void. A word to the wise: Don't.

JAZZBy MICHAEL CUSCUNA

Trumpeter Gene Shaw is twice a livinglegend. In the mid -'50s, he worked with CharlesMingus and contributed to Mingus' master-piece "Tijuana Moods" (RCA). When the Min-gus record was finally issued in 1962, Shawcame back to the jazz scene in his nativeChicago and made several albums for Chess.Just two years ago, he reappeared to lead an

Michael Cuscuna outstanding trio in Chicago. Now he has movedto the Los Angeles area and formed a group with bassist LarryGales, formerly of Thelonious Monk's ensemble. Although I havenot heard the Gales -Shaw quintet, the reports are good. They arelooking for a contract.

Ben Sidran is an amazing keyboard player and songwriterwho has made his mark in the pop music scene through his longassociation with the Steve Miller Band. He has also recordedwith Gene Clark, Jesse Davis and the Rolling Stones. His firstsolo album will soon be released on Capitol and it is beautiful.He uses outstanding musicians from every field of music, includ-ing Jesse Davis, Willie Ruff, Blue Mitchell and Boz Scaggs.

At the same time, Holt, Rinehart and Winston is publishingBen's first book, "Black Talk," subtitled "How the Music ofBlack America Created a Radical Alternative to the Values ofWestern Literary Tradition." It is a clearly and sensitivelywritten treatise which deals candidly with the black music ofall eras. Check it out.

Weather Report is still going strong with various appearancesin the United States and Europe. But each member of the bandis now looking for individual outlets of expression. Pianist JoeZawinul points out that the group is in no danger of breakingup, but that "we must maintain our individualism."

Joe hopes that Columbia will release the many compositionsthat he has written for and recorded with Miles Davis. He mayalso make some alterations on his brilliant but underrated "Riseand Fall of the Third Stream" and have Atlantic re-releasethat album.

He is currently planning his next solo album for that label.Most of the material will be new, although he may include"Painted Desert" which he has previously recorded with bothof the Adderley brothers. Joe has gotten an Arp Synthesizer,the same brand that Paul Bley uses, and wants to fully incorpo-rate it into his music as soon as he is completely comfortablewith the new instrument.

Zawinul is a most creative and ever -exploring musician. Hisefforts with and without Weather Report will be most rewarding.

A few columns ago, we mentioned that Halcyon Records hadsplit and that Marion McPartland would be issuing her ownalbums under the Halcyon label. Meanwhile, Hank O'Neal hastaken the other three records by Earl Hines, Willie the LionSmith and Bobby Henderson and will issue them under his newlabel name, Chiaroscuro. He soon will be issuing solo albumsby Don Ewell and Mary Lou Williams and a live recording ofthe Bobby Hackett Quintet with Vic Dickenson. Hank promisesa great many more fine albums by underrated musicians withthe accent on pianists. The address for orders or inquiries isChiaroscuro Records, 15 Charles St., New York, N. Y. 10014.

Another young label is Third World Records, operated bytrumpet -valve trombonist -writer -educator Clifford Thornton, whohas played with Archie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders and others.Thornton's first album, "Freedom and Unity," features Thornton,Karl Berger, Jimmy Garrison and Joe McPhee. He will soonrelease a second album with Raschid Ali's group. The addressfor Third World is 109 Broadway, Brooklyn, N. Y. 11211.

WB HancockPromo Pack Warner Bros. is readying aspecial Herbie Hancock promo-tion package for radio andpress in conjunction with thereservicing of his second War-ner album, "Mwandishi."

The package features the"Mwandishi" album along witha seven-inch EP containing ed-ited cuts from the album.

CLUB REVIEW

Johnstons DelightAt Folk City NEW YORK-If there canbe such a thing as a contem-porary traditional musical act,the Johnstons, a new Van-guard group from Ireland, areit.

The three - member groupmade its New York debut re-cently (14) at Folk City, andsucceeded at the difficult taskof combining the flavor of Irishfolk music with an honest con-cern for today's political andsocial problems.

The Johnstons are, first andforemost, a musical group.Their political message is ex-pressed sincerely and withoutpretense in moving songs like"Angela Davis," but always inthe background is the sound ofa banjo or a guitar remindingthe audience that they are be-ing entertained and not sermon-ized. A high point in the eve-ning was their version of RalphMcTell's "Streets of London,"which the Johnstons had re-corded long before it becamethe most popular song on theBritish folk circuit.

The group shines especiallyon a medey of Irish jigs andreels, spotlighting the interplayof Mick Moloney's fancy banjopicking with the strongrhythms of Paul Brady's acous-tic guitar. The result is a per-formance which is at once mov-ing and entertaining, meaning-ful and fun. That's a rare com-bination in these or any days,and the Johnstons, whose newVanguard album is entitled"Colours of the Dawn," will un-doubtedly continue to impressaudiences in America andeverywhere else.

CLUB REVIEW

Duchin Pierre Pleaser NEW YORK - Peter Du -chin and his Orchestra, com-plete with some rock musiciansto keep things contemporary,have been pleasing night cluband dancing devotes for thepast two weeks with an engage-ment at the La Foret Room ofNew York's Hotel Pierre.

Duchin started off the firstshow last Thursday (23) witha piano sequence featuring"More" and other standards.His piano playing was, as usu-al, flawless. Then, suddenly, anelectric guitar lead signaled thepresence of a rock and rollsound, and this combined withDuchin's piano in a rousingmedley of "Joy to the World"and "Put Your Hand in theHand." Though there were fewon the crowded dance floor wholooked under 40, the couplesrocked happily to the finesounds of Duchin & Company.

Peter Duchin is universallyrecognized as one of the toppop pianists today, and his Ho-tel Pierre performances broughtsome life to the sagging NewYork night club scene.

Mercury Riding(Continued from page 4)

found Mercury being betterrepresented on the charts, witha more selective artist rosterand with a much higher per-centage of successes as a resultof company -wide effort to bringhome those artists in which thecompany had placed its faith.

Steinberg said, "Workingwith a more selective artist ros-ter and developing a manage-ment philosophy to totally com-mit our resources to the devel-opment of talent over a longperiod of time has resulted inour ability to present the mate-rial of our artists to the public,determine acceptance and thento totally exploit this accept-ance and then to totally exploitthis acceptance."

Rod Stewart's latest album,"Every Picture Tells a Story,"As well as his single, "MaggieMay/Reason To Believe," bothhave been certified by the RIAAas million sellers and havefound their way to the top ofthe domestic and foreigncharts. It is interesting to notethat Stewart's and UriahHeep's success have been de-veloped primarily in the UnitedStates, although they live andrecord in England. This repre-sents international acceptanceof Mercury's product.

Complete Marketing Plans

In keeping with Mercury'spolicy of working with ashorter artist roster and work-ing with the artists in a moreorganized manner, Mercury hasunder the guidance of SeniorVP of Marketing Lou Simondeveloped complete marketingplans for Rod Stewart, Tom T.Hall, Buddy Miles and UriahHeep and the other artists rep-resented on the charts.

Simon has put together notonly the conventional programtied to the release of the prod-uct, but has backed them withprograms related to the touringof the artists as well as thetotal involvement of Mercury'sstaff to establish personal con-tact with the artists and to in-sure continuous support as theartists' careers are developed.

In addition to the successesof Rod Stewart and Tom T.Hall, National Sales ManagerJules Abramson reports briskmovement of the new "BuddyMiles Live" two -record set spe-cially priced at $7.98 retail, andthe spread of sales action onChuck Mangion's "Friends andLove" album following the sell-out performances in his falltour.

Tom T. Hall's single "The

HighDay That Clayton DelaneyDied," which topped countrycharts, has crossed over popcharts and is being developedas an across-the-board hit. Ad-ditionally, Abramson notes in-creased activity on Jerry But-ler's latest album, "The Sagit-tarius Movement," and the ris-ing single from it, "Walk EasyMy Son."

Abramson added that the suc-cess that Mercury has beenhaving was well received byMercury's independent distrib-utors who are benefiting fromthe selective nature of theproduct and the coordinatedmarketing plans supporting thereleases.

The successes evidenced bythe chart activity of the recordside of Mercury's business havebeen duplicated by Harry Kelly,VP, Tape Sales, and he indi-cates that prospects look goodfor a continuing sale based onthe number one position ob-tained with the records.

"An artist's acceptance inpublic performance has beenfound to have a significant re-lationship to record sales," saidMercury's Director of RecordedProduct Charlie Fach. Fach,headquartering at Mercury'sNew York offices and workingclosely with the Nashville andLos Angeles offices, as well aswith Robin McBride, Midwestand International A&R Direc-tor at the home office in Chi-cago, has sought out acts whohave found acceptance in pub-lic performances and who arewilling and able to tour on aregular basis. Fach noted thatmuch of the success the com-pany has had with the Man-gione album was the result of

Earlier this year a rash ofC&W activity (which at onepoint found nine Mercury sin-gles on the charts) led thecompany to undertake a coun-try catalog promotion duringSeptember. The program en-compassed the full country ros-ter and focused on several art-ists who have been consistentlyin the charts during their labelaffiliation. The present positionof strength in this area, guidedby Jerry Kennedy, VP Nash-ville Operations, has been a re-flection of the devolopment ofnew artists such as Tom T.Hall, Bobby Bare and the Stat-ler Brothers, as well as main-taining the stature of the com-pany's established countryartists. The month -long cam-paign which included wide-spread use of radio spots on

50,000 watt stations virtuallyblanketing the country servedto broaden the market for c&wsingles and album product.

During the past year, a uni-fied effort between the promo-tion executives at the nationallevel and the local men in thefield has been coordinated byDenny Rosencrantz, workingwith Stan Bly, Logan West-Robrooks and Frank Mull. Ro-sencrantz emphasized the needfor planning and picking thespecific items requiring concen-trated effort. "We aim for totalradio exposure," he said. Ro-sencrantz pointed out that Mer-cury's plan was to make theproduct successful in its mostlimited format first, and thencross it over into expandedmarkets.

The importance of close con-tact with college campuses isbeing realized at Mercury withthe addition of college repsthroughout the country.

The coordination at the na-tional level of the activities ofthe promotion department withthe publicity department hasfirmed up the total marketingeffort by giving Mercury a con-tinuing relationship with theartist.

PR Director, Mike Gormleyhas been working closely withthe booking agents and themanagers in setting artisttours and insuring that thereis integration between thepress parties, interviews, raptours, as well as the publicperformances of Mercury art-ists.

Mercury Treasurer DaveO'Connell points out that Mer-cury's success on the charts,coupled with their record highsales for the month of Septem-ber, indicates that it is possi-ble to build a successful mar-keting organization whilekeeping operating costs undercontrol, and utilize the infor-mation gained during cost cut-ting programs to not only makesuccess possible as evidencedby the sales activity in thecharts, but also to make ithigh profitably by virtue of thecontrols that had been estab-lished during leaner times.

Movie Musicals LiveThanks to Theatre 80 St. Marks Producers,Now Seeking Record Tie -Ins

Arthur Whitelaw, Joan Crawford, Howard OtwayHandprints at Theatre 80 Saint Marks

By DOUG McCLELLAND

NEW YORK-Although theterm "Fun City" has come tobe used ironically, producersArthur Whitelaw and HowardOtway are making at least onecorner of Manhattan live upto that appellation: Theatre 80Saint Marks, now turned overto an open end series of vin-tage movie musicals.

And business is like the '30sand '40s, too, the entrepreneurstold Record World last week."So much so," chimed White -law, "we plan to open three orfour more theaters like thisaround the country. Theatre 80Saint Marks has 199 seats andhas been re -designed, as we sayin the program, `with an eyeto the graciousness of the pastcombined with the very latesttechniques of motion pictureexhibition.' We've been gettingnew prints of the films; oursound is filtered; and the filmis projected from backstage,which stops glare in the earlyrows. We have a new projectoron which we can put the entirefilm without switching."

The pair also is interested intalking to record companiesabout producing records tiedin with the two musical moviebills they present each week.They are planning a movie bou-tique and already have a sug-gestion box. Among the celebri-ties who have put their hand-prints in cement there areAlexis Smith, Gloria Swanson,Wini Shaw, Gene Nelson andJoan Crawford, whose 1933"Dancing Lady" (paired withJudy Garland's "Easter Pa-rade") was such an SRO

smash that Whitelaw and Ot-way will bring it back in acouple of months.

They try to book their doublefeatures with some kind of con-necting link-for instance, theywill present a Lillian Roth ve-hicle on the same bill with thepicture about her life, "I'll CryTomorrow," starring SusanHayward. "There's usuallysome relationship - althoughsometimes we forget what itwas," Otway chuckled.

"We're like kids," enthusedWhitelaw. "We go down thelist of films available like thefans we are. Sometimes, though,we come a cropper. When wesaw the title `Fifty MillionFrenchmen' and `Score by ColePorter,' we grabbed it. Whatwe didn't know until we playedit was that all the songs hadbeen cut! They were used laterin a Bob Hope featurette."

Retrospective Brought IdeaThe idea for a home for the

screen's Golden Age musicalscame to Whitelaw this summerwhen he attended many show-ings at the Museum of ModernArt "Roots of the AmericanMusical Film" retrospectivesupervised by historian MilesKreuger. "I was inspired by thequality and the quantity, aswell as the tremendous audi-ence response. I realized NewYork had never had a perma-nent showcase for these musi-cals that people love so much."

Whitelaw, who produced thestage's "Butterflies Are Free"and "You're a Good Man, Char-lie Brown," revealed he re-cently had sent a play script toJoan Crawford, who has never

LONDON-The Johnny Cash Show has comeand gone, but its impact will be rememberedfor a long time. I attended one of the two con-certs held at the Royal Festival Hall in Londonon Saturday, Sept. 18. This was the second lastdate of their current tour of Scandinavia andGreat Britain.

What a show! What a response! Despite afaulty microphone, the first half was off to a

good start with performances by the Tennessee Three, CarlPerkins, the Carter Family and the Statler Brothers. This mixtureof rock, traditional and modern country music was well received,especially the slick harmonizing of the Statlers. When the spot-light hit Johnny coming on to a blackened stage at the openingof the second half, the roar from the packed Festival Hall leftno doubt how happy they were to welcome him to London.

The Cash program of songs was predominantly modern, suchas "Sunday Morning Coming Down," "Me and Bobby McGee," etc.But the real crowd-pleasers consisted of "Orange Blossom Spe-cial," (with some exciting harmonica playing from Johnny),"Folsom Prison," "Five Foot High and Rising" and other oldiesthat he has recorded. A touching moment occurred when singingthe last line of "A Boy Named Sue," he sang, "And if I have aboy, I'm gonna call him, John Carter" . . . and then proceeded tointroduce his 18 -month -old son, who was sitting in one of theboxes with his nurse.

After running through some duets with his glamorous -lookingwife, June Carter, the whole cast came an stage to sing a numberof gospel songs that had everyone hand -clapping in unison. Thestanding ovation proved to one and all that the Cash magic isstill as strong as ever! The next day at a combined press con-ference and luncheon hosted by CBS and NEMS, Johnny an-nounced plans to return to Europe next spring to do a televisionspecial in Holland and hopefully a tour of Ireland and GreatBritain. Also in the offing: a children's LP, in aid of autisticchildren who are patients in a Nashville hospital.

Besides his 14 -day tour of Great Britain, Slim Whitman willbe busy with radio and TV shows while here. One of the showswill be for BBC producer Bill Bebb and will take over the hour-long "Country Style."

LATE NEWS FLASH: Hank Snow coming to do a five -citytour of G.B. and a short tour of Scandinavia. More detailsforthcoming.

WYDE strong on Kenny Earl's "What in the World" onNASCO.June Stearns' "Your Kind of Lovin' " pick at K000,moving at WJEF.Harold Lee's "Mountain Woman" invading the plains atOmaha.Johnny Tillotson's "Welfare Hero" heavy request itemin Tampa.Roger Sovine playlisted in Wichita with "It's Cold inTulsa."Lobo's "California Kid and Remo" spilling over intothe country of WGMA.Dale Van Home's version of "Jody and the Kid"playing in Philadelphia.
