Betty Breneman, Music Coor-dinator and Counselor for thestations, surmised to RecordWorld last week that stationspublishing surveys would prob-

Rumor was also last week thatthe Drake-Chennault stationswill be adopting the same policy.

Problems of the Small Talent Agency

Herb Spar

By MIKE SIGMAN

Herb Spar is head of theMillard Agency, a New York -based talent agency which hasbeen in existence since 1969.Spar graduated from AntiochCollege in 1964, and went towork in the mail room of theWilliam Morris Agency. Hemoved up to the music depart-ment, and stayed there until1969, when he left to formMillard. The Millard Agencypresently has a staff of 12, withoffices in New York and SanFrancisco, and Spar is con-templating opening an office inLos Angeles. Millard's rostercurrently includes the Band,

the Kinks, the Beach Boys, Dion, It's a Beautiful Day, FairportConvention and many other top acts. Below he discusses theunique problems and advantages of running a small agency.

Record World: Let's start out with the question of the highprice of talent, and what effect it's having on the agency business.

Spar: None. Because there will always be people that will buyyour high-priced acts, whether they be the Rod Stewarts or theRolling Stones or Paul McCartney's new group or anyone else.There's enough good, solid money out there to support it. Andwhen you're dealing with a Rod Stewart as a case in point, yougo with your best promoter; you don't go with a fly-by-night pro-moter where you have to watch every dollar.

Now these superstars may not be able to play the college mar-kets. I mean they won't be able to play the University of Maine inOrono, Maine, but so what? They'll play Madison Square Gardenfor one night, walk away with 75 or 80 thousand dollars, and ifthe kids at the University of Maine are that desperate to see RodStewart, they'll travel 50 miles to Boston Garden during the week,and they'll fill up the house there. So long as were not in atotal state of depression, there will always be money out there,and it's just a question of what the kids want to see. But I don'tthink that anyone is really outpricing themselves.

Record World: What are the biggest problems facing the agentor promoter at this time?

The Wrong Way to Expose GroupSpar: Well, the packaging concept is a very weird thing. Almost

as a matter of survival, agencies have insisted that if you wantact A, you must also take act B and act C, regardless of who actsB and C might be, even if they are totally incompatible with actA. Now this does not necessarily help acts B and C. Example: ifan act goes into Madison Square Garden and headlines before20,000 kids and takes two relatively unknown groups whose musicis mediocre or does not fit in with group A, nothing is going tohappen to them. It's the wrong way to expose a group. Peoplethink that any group that plays before that many people will sellrecords and it will make a difference. It doesn't. I've heard aboutsome packages that are going out next February and March, andthey are some of the most dreadful packages I've ever heard of inmy life.

Instead of taking groups out on tours with superstars, new actsshould be booked into a Gaslight, a Bitter End or an Alice TullyHall on a percentage cooperative deal; any place where they canget reviewers down to see them. But new groups die on thesetours.

Record World: Is this true under all circumstances?

Spar: In some cases it might work. For instance, in a cooper-ative deal with another agency, we took out Fairport Conventionwith Traffic, and it was a perfect package; they're both Englishgroups, the guys got along well, their music was compatible, andneither upstaged the other. We had Van Morrison playing in L.A.,and we could have put on any one of a dozen Millard groups withhim, but instead we came up with Linda Ronstadt, and the pro-moter was happy, Van was happy and no one could be blamed ifanything went wrong. The whole point is to give the kids a showthat's more than just two bands.

Record World: Getting into another area, would you describethe agency scene as you see it, for instance in regard to small vs.big agencies?

Revitalization of Small Agency

Spar: There has been over the past two or three years a re-vitalization of the small agency as an important entity. I be-lieve that the day of the big, bureaucratic, monolithic agency isbeginning to slide, unless you're talking about a group like theJackson 5, which needs that complete coverage.

I think groups have awakened, management has awakened, thekids have awakened; they realize that if they're going to becomehot and important, then everything is ultimately going to cometo them. The day of jiving the young musicians with "we'll giveyou commercials, we'll give you TV shows, and we can serviceyou because we've got 10,000 offices all over the world" is allhype, all finished. I think what the kids care about today is goingout and working and making good music.

Instead of these giant agencies, there are now six to 10 smallagents that have I would say 80% of your major acts today. It'sstill very difficult to start a new agency, but if you can get luckywith one or two acts, and if your management is efficient, enoughmoney can come in to keep you from going under.

Record World: What is the specific advantage of the smallagency over the larger one?

Spar: In a small agency, you get a much more personal thingwith your artists. I sit down with my artists and have bull ses-sions about what's bothering them. We want to understand ouracts. The major agencies really can't do it for the artists anymore, because within every major agency everybody has theirown minor agency.

Take an agency with seven agents, each responsible for fiveacts. One isn't helping the other; but at Millard everyone knowswhat he has to do. If he wants to go to Washington with agroup, he doesn't have to get it cleared with some bureaucrat.

Record World: Let's get back to the breaking of new artists.You're saying that it's very hard for artists to get the rightexnosure through live tours.

Spar: I'm fairly convinced that the record companies todayhave the major chore of breaking new acts. There are so manyfine acts out there that can't get the shot because promotersand agents are just squeezing them out. This is a very hard ob-stacle to overcome, but I think inroads are being made slowlybut surely. The agent has to put subtle pressure on the promoter.

Record World: What about the role of TV in the developmentof talent?

Krar: I think some of the things NET has done have beenimportant; it's no commercials, it's free form, it's none of thebull you get on commercials stations. I tend to think, though,that TV is one of the most overemphasized, exaggerated, unim-portant media as far as exposing new talent is concerned. TVcan really only make a big act bigger.

How can a group come off in 21/2 minutes, when sometimesyou'll sit in a concert for 45 minutes and there might be five

Klein on Bangladesh(Continued from page 4)UNICEF have completely en-dorsed Klein's actions in hand-ling the situation. "There is noquestion but that every pennythat can be turned over to uswill be, and as soon as possi-ble," one official was quotedas saying. It was recalled thatfunds from the concert wereturned over as quickly as possi-ble and similar moves are ex-pected with the album monies.

Donald Allan of UNICEF hasreferred to the situation as"the greatest, single contribu-tion from a non -governmentsource" and specified that themoney will be used to helpabout 20 million people who arebadly in need of food, clothing,shelter, medical services andthe transportation of suppliesto needy areas.

Klein views the marketingrow on the album as unfor-tunate and says that the mar-keting terms were deliberatelydesigned "to maximize themoney for the charity and topreserve the artists' integrity."

He added: "I had a specialclient - 10 million starvingchildren. If my policies upsetpeople, I'm sorry. I think we'llmake a heck of a lot of peoplehappy. And it's a great album.Dealers and buyers should rea-lize this is not just anotherrock record but an extraord-inary benefit production."

Some of the cuts on the LP are "Let's StayTogether," "Ain't No Sunshine" and a medley of"Mercy Me," "What's Going On"/"InnerCity Blues," "Brother, Brother" andmany more. There is also original materialcontained in the LP. We look forward to hearingthe sound of the Shirelles again...Freddie Northhas recorded another hit on the Mankind label."You And Me Together Forever" tells a story withsimplicity of the everyday occurrences in life.

1972 will see many changes in the field ofmusic. Are you treading on solid ground?

UA Three - Day Conclave(Continued from. page 3)

conclave. These included "Allthe Good Times" from theNitty Gritty Dirt Band, group'sfirst new recording in a year -and -one-half ; "Historical Fig-ures and Ancient Heads," newproduct from Canned Heat;and "Strange Fruit," the initialinstrumental presentation fromthe Ike Turner band, Fam-ily Vibes, plus "Mozartmania,"follow-up set to his chart suc-cess, "Sinfonias," by Waldo delos Rios.

One of the highlights of theUA program was the introduc-tion of the label's heraldedLegendary Masters Series, dou-ble record sets which includea carefully -researched histori-cal brochure concerning thequartet of artists involved inthe four new collections, name-ly Fats Domino, Eddie Coch-ran, Ricky Nelson and Jan andDean.

The late Junior Parker, greatblues artist, was representedby "I Tell Stories Sad and TrueI Play the Harmonica Too. ItIs Very Funky," as was "Touch-stone," original off-Broadwaycast album by Tarot, and "Pen-ny DeHaven," first album byUA's country vocalist.

UA jazz subsidiary Blue NoteRecords offered a debut LP en-titled "Flute In" by youngBobbi Humphrey, instrumental-ist who has had major nationaltelevision exposure during re-cent months; while UA Latinoshowcased a quartet of new al-bums, "Chucho Con Amor" byChucho Avellanet; "The TitoRodriguez Superpak"; "La Vio-letera," soundtrack starringara Montiel; and "OdquestraRevolucion '70" from a newPuerto Rican band.

"Traffic Month," all-out cam-paign in January on the sixUA LPs by the English group,was presented to the organiza-tion's national and local staff-ers.

UA Records' President Mi-chael Stewart keynoted themeeting with an address inwhich he expressed great sat-isfaction for the way the labelhas begun 1972 as one of thenation's hottest disc and tapecompanies. Stewart cited DonMcLean, currently on top of thenational bestseller charts, plusfast-moving and fast -risingproduct from War, BobbyWomack, Dory Previn andShirley Bassey, the instantsuccess of soundtracks from"Fiddler on the Roof" and"Diamonds Are Forever," plusthe continued growth and ac-ceptance of jazz subsidiary,Blue Note Records.

Stewart revealed the firm'sinvolvement with the forthcom-ing David Merrick Broadwayproduction of 'Sugar," musi-cal version of the film "SomeLike It Hot." 'Sugar' will starRobert Morse, Anthony Robertsand Cyril Ritchard and an orig-inal cast LP is expected inMarch.

SINGLE PICKSJUDY LYNN-Amaret 139WINTERWOOD (Unart, BMI)YOU MAKE THE WORLD I LIVE IN (Muscle Shoals, BMI)Don McLean's "American Pie" albumcontains other great songs besides itstitle track. Judy's the first to disc -coverthis fact and act upon it. Fine mate-rial, well sung.

JOHNNY CASH-Columbia 45534A THING CALLED LOVE (Vector, BMI)DADDY (House of Cash, BMI)The man in 'black, backed by the Evan-gel Temple Choir, is back with a JerryReed -penned explication of love. He'sproduced, for the first time, by LarryButler.

P.J.-Tamla 54216T.L.C. (TENDER LOVING CARE) (Jobete, BMI)IT TAKES A MAN TO TEACH A WOMAN HOWTO LOVE (Jobete, BMI)Pop -soul as only Motown can produceit. All the necessary ingredients.catchy lyrics, smooth vocals, and adanceable beat, are in these grooves011ie McLaughlin produced.

DELORES HALL-RCA 0632SHADOW OF THE SUN (Sunbeam. BMI)LAW AND ORDER (Sunbeam, BMI)The Broadway show "Inner City" seemsto contain nothing but good music andbrilliant singing. This disc fills boththose bills. And how !

THE ARCHIES-Kirshner 5018 (RCA)LOVE IS LIVING IN YOU (Unichappell,HOLD ON TO LOVIN' (Don Kirshner/ATV, BMI)

The Archies, though they've cooledsomewhat since "Sugar Sugar," canstill be counted on for pretty melo-dies and, prettier still, harmonies.

REINERI'S RAIDERS-Buddah 280CRAZY ELLEN'S HOME MADE BLUEBERRY JAM(Kama Sutra, BM!)

Tailor-made top 40 entry could be clas-sified as bubble gum grown older. Morecomplex lyrically, but just as youthfulin spirit. Bobby Flax and Lanny Lam-bert wrote and produced.

BRIAN COLLINS-Mega 0058THERE'S A KIND OF HUSH(Francis, Day & Hunter, ASCAP)Countrified revival of the Herman'sHermits smash should receive muchMOR exposure. Just might inspire amore top 40 oriented version.

Z.Z. HILL-Kent 4560IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER (Modern, BMI)YOU WON'T HURT NO MORE (Modern, BMI)Label seems to have an endless supplyof old sides by this singer, each onebetter than the last. Mellow r&b bal-ladry at its best.

SYL JOHNSON-Twinight 155THAT'S WAY (BMI)EVERYBODY NEEDS LOVE (Midday, BMI)Artist has left the label but they'vegot a supply of goodies to release onhim. First out is his workout on theold Jackie Wilson hit. Spirited.

CAT STEVENS-Deram 85079 (London)WHERE ARE YOU (MAM, ASCAP)KITTY (MAM, ASCAP)

Vintage track is more conventional apop ballad than this Cat turns outnowadays. Still and all, a beautifulsong, sure to be sung over and overagain.

BREWER AND SHIPLEY-Kama Sutra 539 (Buddah)SHAKE OFF THE DEMON (Talking Beaver, BMI)INDIAN SUMMER (Talking Beaver, BMI)Duo's single -most -likely since "'OneToke Over the Line" should kick offtheir new year in high style. Theywrote and produced as well.

ODDS & ENDS-Today 1506 (Perception)GIVE ME SOMETHING (Patrick Bradley, BMllGroup should go farther than it's evergone before with this "Grazin' in theGrass" -like number. Equally ideal forpop and r&b play. Don't miss it.

GEORGE CARMICHAEL-Gambit 001SWEET REVIVAL (Green Owl/Bird Dog, ASCAP)REACH OUT (GIVE A LITTLE LOVE)(Green Owl/Bird Dog, ASCAP)New Nashville -based label aims itsfirst release at the r&b market. On -target entry marks return of solid soulsinger. Well done all around. Checkthis one out.

SILENT MAJORITY-Hot Wax 7112 (Buddah)SOMETHING NEW ABOUT YOU(Gold Forever, BMI)

Again, label comes up with anothersong of the sort the Four Tops onceexcelled at. Still think the group ispoor'y named. They deserve a betterconnotation.

THE CHARGERS-Vanguard 35146YOU GOTTA BE A LADY (Double Diamond, BMI)There are vague traces of many differ-ent influences at work here and in theend what emerges is a group with astyle of its own. For r&b, to crossovertop 40.

BONNIE GARRETT-Prophesy 55006 (Atlantic)TAKING LIFE EASY (Hot-Rock/Lightswitch, BMI)

Songstress has an out -of -the -ordinaryvocal approach that aids in puttingacross this good song effectively. Let'shear some more from her.

LUNAR FUNK-Bell 172MR. PENGUIN-PT. 1 (Tedrolee, ASCAP)One of those simple, straightforwardr&b instrumentals that's good to danceto and likely to pick up sales as a re-sult. Together.

JOE BATAAN-Fania 595SHAFT (Cotillion/Memphis, BMI)EL REGRESSO (Fania, BMI)There's some question whether whatthe world needs now is another ver-sion of Isaac Hayes' chart -toppingmovie theme. If so, here's a good one.

BLIZZARD-Metromedia 233LET ME DOWN EASY (Tash, BMI)

That this tune bears passing resem-blance to "Love Grows Where My Rose-mary Goes" goes without saying. Thatthis disc is top 40 -perfect also goeswithout saying. A must!

REO SPEEDWAGON-Epic 10827SOPHISTICATED LADY (Two Twenty Two, BMI)From out of the American mid -westcomes a gritty group to set tailfeathersshaking. Ultra -energy music of the sortthat enlivens top 40 formats.

MACHO-Prophesy 55007 (Atlantic)NO ONE TO DEPEND ON (Tetra, BMI)Newcomers could take this tune fromthe current Santana album to the topof the charts. A wise choice of mate-rial, if ever there was one.

MARK-ALMOND-Blue Thumb 206 (Famous)ONE WAY SUNDAY (Almo, ASCAP)This just may be a touch too classy forthe AM airways, but one never knows.Jazzy rhythms, subtle harmonies andfine flute are the distinguishing char-acteristics.

THE NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE-Columbia 45526I DON'T KNOW YOU (Ice Nine, ASCAP)Country -rockers in a good outing here.Instrumentation, arrangement and out-look are in fine fettle, but could do witha more dynamic vocal. Maybe har-monies?

THE CHARLES RANDOLPH GREAN SOUNDE-Ranwood 918CONCERTO FOR KNIVES, FORKS, SPOONS AND ONESOUP LADLE (September, ASCAP)GYMPEDIE (Brookhaven, BMI)A novelty instrumental hit if ever therewas one. Just unusual and cute enoughto really catch on big through MORairplay.

THE BACHELORS-London 20071DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (Unart, BMI)WHERE THERE'S A HEARTACHE(Blue Seas-Jac/20th Century, ASCAP)

Popular British vocal group is out withits own version of the already oft -recorded theme from the latest JamesBond flick. Slick pop rendition.

THE BRADY BUNCH-Paramount 0141TIME TO CHANGE (Famous. ASCAP)WE CAN MAKE THE WORLD A WHOLE LOTBRIGHTER (Ensign, BMI)Presumably it is hoped this TV bunchwill achieve Partridge Family -stylesuccess. With an Al Capps arrange-ment and Jackie Mills' production, theystand a good shot.

UNDERGROUND LITE BULB CO.-Red Lite 118HAPPY PEOPLE (Delightful, BMI)EVIL WAYS (Oleta, BMI)Contrary to last week's review, "HappyPeople" is the recommended side here.Delightful tune will make people hap-

py. In fact, title might be a better namefor the group.



(8°ALB M PICKSFEARLESSFAMILY-United Artists UAS 562.Family have been compiling funky, off-beat albums for a while now, and thisfirst package from United Artists looksto be their best and biggest yet. Strangemusic from one of the two or threemost talked -about underground groupsin England. "Larf and Sing" is charm-ing and slick.TRAPPED BY A THING CALLED LOVEDENISE LAS4LLE-Westbound WB 2012 (Janus).Denise LaSalle is quite an r&b find. Thegirl has a flair for a swingy, irresistiblesong and a lyric with just the righthook. This first album is an event, andit should be rounding up lots of niceairplay in no time flat. All songs win-ners.THE BEST OF ROGER MILLERMercury SR 61361.This tastefully -packaged collection ofRoger Miller hits should touch off asales stampede of sorts. Not everyMiller classic is included, because theemphasis is on hits of the past fewyears rather than those of Miller'searlier period. Still this one shouldmean heavy action.BEN BAGLEY'S VINCENT YOUMANS REVISITEDBEN BAGLEY CAST-Painted Smiles PS 1352.Ben Bagley ladles on more sauce --thistime with forgotten and never -knownVincent Youmans melodies. Lyrics byIra Gershwin, Billy Rose and Bud Mc-Creery, among others. And guess what,fans! Bagley regulars Dorothy Loudonand Norman Paris recently tied theknot, with Ben singing "Here Comesthe Bride."WHAT'S UP FRONT THAT-COUNTSTHE COUNTS-Westbound WB 2011(Chess/Janus)Westbound is getting to be a very funk-adelic label and here's more of thatdelightful funkadelia. The group thistime is the Counts and they seem tohave learned a few things from IsaacHayes' orchestration primer as well.These guys should be doing much busi-ness and soon.LEVEE BLUESPOT LIQUOR-Janus JLS 3033.It frequently is easy to tell whether agroup (or soloist) is good by judgingnot only its (his) original compositionsbut his interpretations of those ofothers. Take Isaac Hayes' way with any-thing or Elton John's way with "HonkyTonk Women" or Pot Liquor's "LadyMadonna." Sunerb work here.TANTAMOUNT TO TREASON VOLUME ONEMICHAEL NESMITH AND THE SECONDNATIONAL BANK-RCA LSP 4563.Here is another in Michael Nesmith'sseries of outstanding albums. The fel-low is extraordinarily clever. Withinthe boundaries of country -pop heranges wide over his and others' melo-dies. "You Are My One" could be theone to step far out. Cover another ofhis editorial comments Savvy.

THELAST

PICTURESHOW

'11%41%1'II N10.1111"11111

THE LAST PICTURE. SHOWHANK WILLIAMS SOUNDTRACK-MGM 1SE-33ST.MGM has found another cogent reasonfor re -packaging their Hank Williamscatalog. It's as music from "The LastPicture Show" soundtrack. This isn'tthe complete soundtrack because manyartists were heard singing 1952-3 hits,but certainly Williams figured most im-portantly.

BIG SCREEN LITTLE SCREENHENRY MANCINI-RCA LSP 4630.No, this is not a musical adaptation ofRex Reed's last collection of essays.It's Henry Mancini with his latest an-thology of tunes pegged on a hit. Thehit is his "Nicholas and Alexandra"theme. Also, from the tube tuneries are"Johnny's Theme" and "Those Werethe Days."

GATELY'S CAFEMICHAEL GATELY-Janus JLS 3039.If one is to pick up the clues providedby the album's title and jacket photos,Michael Gately is a bar owner and/ortender. These, however, are not saloonsongs. They are heart -on -sleeve lovesong and quite moving of their sort.Gately wrote many of the threnodies.Listen, listen.

ONDA NUEVA/THE NEW WAVECHARLIE BYRD, ALDEMARO ROMERO-Columbia C 31025.Down in Brazil where the nuts and thesoft sweet but not saccharine beat growsAldemaro Romero has come up with afew new variations, which are introducedstateside by Charlie Byrd, who is al-ways looking for pretty things to strumon his gentle as rain guitar.

SHIP OF LABOREDGEWOOD-TMI Z 30971 (CBS).Beverly Noga, long the possessor of agood music ear and eye, is managingthis new and funky group out of SteveCropper's label. Members of the groupindividually or collectively, write thematerial and play it in tight arrange-ments not unlike Three Dog Night's.Will get far fast.

PAUL ROCHE AD NAUSEUM OR DEATH AT FUNCITY OR FUTURE SHOCK ASPECTS OF LOVEPAUL ROCHE-Mercury 616.Paul Roche is a poet trying records asa way to reach a wider audience. He isalso carrying a slogan that he or Mer-cury has tacked onto his album - "apoet, a man, a mind." Who knows whatthis will do? His poems, without mu-sical accompaniment, will please many.

BLUES 'N' BROWNCHARLES BROWN-Jewel LPS 5006.Blues fans are really blues fans whenthey can claim to be conversant withbluesman Charles Brown. His collec-tions come along only once in a while,and here's that once in a while surprise.There are 10 blues here and Brown hada hand in writing just about all of them.

In a year-end appraisal ofthe company's dominant salesposition, Herb Goldfarb, VicePresident for Sales and Mar-keting, attributed the continu-ing success to a combinationof factors, not the least ofwhich is the emergence duringthe last quarter of 1971 ofsinger Al Green into majorstatus.

But beyond this single fac-tor, Goldfarb noted, is the com-bined impact of several multi -LP sets, including the newRolling Stones "Hot Rocks,"two -record set of major pastsingles hits, rush -released inmid -December and now at thetop of the charts, plus the TomJones "Live at Caesar's Palace"two -disc package, also sellingin heavy quantities and a highchart entry.

The entire Moody Bluesfamily of gold record awardwinning LPs is selling at rec-ord levels as well, keyed by themajor success of "Every GoodBoy Deserves Favour," whichhas been at the top of the al-bum charts since its releaselast fall.

Contributing in his ownmeasure to the sales successstory is Engelbert Humper-dinck, whose current first livealbum, "Live at the Riviera,"is also doing well. Humper-

dinck, whose entire LP catalogon London's Parrot label is inthe gold category, is to returnto the U. S. soon for anotherextended personal appearancetour.

Goldfarb also pointed to thehigh sales plateau occupied byveteran maestro Mantovani ;the chart succes of the SavoyBrown group from England; abonus-pak two -LP John Mayallset; and a recently releasedalbum of earlier, not previouslyreleased Cat Stevens tracks.Stevens composed all the songsin this album, which has alsojust hit the charts.

Goldfarb also took note ofthe continuing success of thecompany's all-star classicalcatalog.

In addition to the productitself, he stressed, is the addedfactor of the company's sixfactory owned branch opera-tions, which has created a sky-rocketing effect to sales activityin major market areas. Thesebranches, in New York, Boston,Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angelesand San Francisco, have alsoaided in opening up the some-times almost forgotten profitwell of catalog sales.

Finally, Goldfarb noted, thecompany is gearing for an evenhigher general sales level dur-ing this anniversary season,with the added factor of atleast five other talents regardedas potential star breakouts.These include the British groupChicken Shack; South Ameri-can chanteuse Yma Sumac; thenew West Coast rock group,Buckwheat; the British duo,Hardin and Yorke; and GilbertO'Sullivan, another English-man.

Mega Distribs Flying Dutchman Mega Records and Tapes andFlying Dutchman Productions,Ltd., have signed an agreementwhich will further expand thetype of product being handledby Mega and diversify and en-hance Flying Dutchman's rec-ord distribution facilities.

A new label, Asylum, joinedthe Atlantic-Atco-Cotillion trioand scored immediate successwith a new young artist, JudeeSill. Asylum, headed by DavidGeffen and Elliot Roberts, in-cludes on its roster Joni Mit-chell, David Blue, Jo Jo Gunne,Jackson Browne and others.

Another newly formed labeldistributed by Atlantic in 1971was Earl McGrath's Clean Rec-ords, which debuted with a newgroup called Country in No-vember.

Aretha Franklin reached anew peak in her career in 1971.She earned three gold recordsfor single record sales of over1,000,000 copeies each and agold record for album sales ofover $1,000,000. As a performer,she played many of the impor-tant clubs and theaters in theUnited States. She played theMontreaux Jazz Festival andthe Olympia Theater in Parisduring her European trip. Shewon a Grammy Award for herrecord of "Don't Play ThatSong" and was a featured per-former on the Grammy AwardsTV Show. Aretha also won manypolls during the year as BestFemale Vocalist.

Atlantic Records and ABCDunhill joined together in issu-ing the Ray Charles Commemo-rative Album in honor of his25th year in show business. Thealbum contains tracks fromboth firms. The album wasissued on ABC Dunhill in theUnited States and on Atlanticoverseas.

At the end of the year At-lantic Records secured distribu-tion rights to Little David Rec-ords, the Flip Wilson -MonteKay label, for which the comichas recorded two best-sellingalbums, "The Devil Made MeBuy This Dress" and "The FlipWilson Show." A new Wilsonalbum is now in preparationand will be released early in1972. Little David Records alsohas albums scheduled for earlyrelease for its potent artistroster including recordings byGeorge Carlin, Lenny Rankinand Danny Cassidy.

Ahmet Ertegun, in his year-

end report on the activities ofthe firm, said: "1971 was thegreatest year in Atlantic Rec-ords history, surpassing pre-vious years in sales, andstrengthening our position asthe world's leading record com-pany. Our continued growth isdue to the exceptionally talent-ed artists who record for At-lantic - Atco - Cotillion and itscustom labels, and to the excep-tionally talented producers as-sociated with our company. Weare especially pleased this yearwith the emergence of so manyof our newer artists into theranks of top stars. We are con-fident that many of our youngartists are destined for the toprank in 1972.

"We were saddened in 1971when death came to two of ourclose friends and talented art-ists, King Curtis and DuaneAllman. Their deaths touchedall of us at Atlantic. Their re-cordings stand as a testimonialto their extraordinary musician-ship."

Independent producers werevery important to Atlantic's hitroster during this year. Amongthem were Richard and BobbyPoindexter (Win or Lose Rec-ords) ; Tom Couch, Mitch Ma-louf and Jerry Puckett (Chim-neyville) ; Wardell Quezerque(Pelican) ; Henry Stone (Als-ton) ; Johnny Sandlin (Capri-corn) ; Jesse Lewis and ClintonMoon (Clintone) ; Quin Ivy,Paul Rothchild, Peter Casper -son, Jeff Barry, Bobby Lance,Gamble and Huff, Jon Landau,Lew Merenstein, Bill Szymczyk.Jerry Ragovoy, Peter Asher,John Abbey, Mike Jeffrey, HankMedress, Paul Vance and LeePockriss.

CONCERT REVIEW

Traums & Friends Holiday Treats NEW YORK - Some of thegreatest musical happeningsare spontaneous, loose get-to-gethers. This was the magicthat pervaded the atmospherean the Monday before Christ-mas at the Washington SquareMethodist Church when IzzyYoung and the New York Folk-lore Center presented a concertof Happy and Artie Traum withfriends from Woodstock.

Happy and Artie broughttheir pianist -harmonica playerEric Kaz and their bassist TonyBrown plus such guests asMaria Muldaur, John Herald,Bill Keith and Jim Rooney. TheTrauma performed many oftheir own songs from ther twoCapitol albums and a number oftraditional folk tunes on whichthe whole entourage joined in.And they sounded better than Ihave ever heard them before,both playing and singing ex-tremely well.

Throughout the three and onehalf hours of music, each guestdid a short set of his own. FirstEric Kaz, the Traums' pianist,performed three of his ownsongs, including "Tonight theSky's About to Cry." The piano

being in miserable shape, Kazconfined himself to guitar andharmonica all night. His per-formance was smooth and sen-sitive and his songs outstand-ing.

Jim Rooney and Bill Keithdid a brief set of traditionalmaterial. Keith switched frompedal steel to banjo for this seg-ment. John Herald really torethe place apart with his loud,clear, yodeling voice doing anold Bill Monroe standard. MariaMuldaur sang a few beautifulsongs with various accompani-ment. Her haunting style on thefinal song entranced the entireaudience. All of the musiciansand finally the audience joinedin on the chorus.

The sell-out audience ofabout 300 enjoyed itself thor-oughly and participated inseveral sing-alongs, includingthe rousing finale, Dylan's "YouAin't Going Nowhere."

The sound system was good,the building fine and the musicwonderful. There was no crowd-ing, no hecklers, no blaringamps, just a good time to behad by all. Michael Cuscuna

Mangione on TV "Freddie's Walkin'," a 30 -

minute Canadian Televisiondocumentary on Mercury Rec-ords artist Chuck Mangione,was shown throughout CanadaDec. 26 on CTV's "The W5

Show."Mangione, whose best-selling

Mercury LPs include "Friendsand Love" and "Together," alsoannounced a heavy Januaryconcert schedule, culminatingin a late January or earlyFebruary New York City Car-negie Hall date.

The 'Bear' Visits Record World

Bob ("Bear") Hite, lead singer of United Artists group Canned Heat,dropped by Record World's offices prior to his group's headline ap-pearance at the Beacon Theater. Hite and Canned Heat will be touringall through 1972, and will also be releasing a new album, "HistoricalFigures and Ancient Heads," Jan. 15. Pictured with Hite (center) are,left to right, UA's Jerry Dubin, Mary Greifinger and Randy Robertsand Skip Taylor, manager and producer of Canned Heat.

Bearsville Studio BoomBy MICHAEL CUSCUNA

BEARSVILLE, N. Y. - Dur-ing the past two years, Wood -stock's musical population hasgrown considerably. The logicalneed for a recording studio wasfulfilled this past year by theconstruction of Albert Gross -man's Bearsville Sound Studios.

At first, only one client wouldbe in the studio for a period oftime, working at a relaxed pace.But the facilities are more andmore in demand. And the studiothat once just served those in-volved with Grossman's man-agement or record companyfinds itself heavily booked withmusicians from other affilia-tions and other parts of thecountry.

The fall and winter of 1971proved quite busy. Bobby Neu-wirth has completed his first forCapitol there. Peter Yarrow isfinishing up his first solo albumfor Warner Brothers with PhilRamone producing. Also forWarner Brothers, John Simonhas just produced a new JackieLomax album with Rick Dankoand Levon Helm making a guestappearance. Pearls Be f oreSwine are currently working ontheir next album for Warnersthere.

Elektra Meets(Continued from page 3)Nonesuch product. The 10 Elektra releases (including LPs byBread, the Incredible StringBand, Carol Hall, John Kongos,Lindisfarne, Bernie Taupin,Alabama State Troupers, theDoors and Harry) were pre-sented on Friday, Jan. 7, viaa multi -media show created byFrank Bez, with Elektra Gen-eral Manager Bill Harvey andArt Director Bob Heimall. Theshow utilized four slide projec-tors and a small digital com-puter. The resultant collagewhich spotlighted the music,rather than a specific sales ap-proach, used the songs to cre-ate a complete show via tech-niques of cuts, dissolves andanimation.

Several Elektra artists werealso presented in concert. OnFriday evening, the show fea-tured the Doors. On Saturday,Jan. 8, Carly Simon and Harryperformed.

The convention, which ranfrom Thursday, Jan. 6, to Sun-day, Jan. 9, also included vari-ous seminars for salesmen, re-gional and local promo men andbranch managers to discuss up-coming merchandising and pro-motional campaigns.

Bell/Big Tree(Continued from, page 3)headed by Doug Morris andDick Vanderbiit.

The first releases under thenew Bell arrangement will besingles by Bullet and Lobo earlyin January, to be followedshortly by a Lobo LP.

Morris started in the busi-ness as a writer and producerbefore becoming Vice -Presidentand General Manager of LaurieRecords in 1965. During hisfive-year tenure, one of his mainfunctions was purchasing mas-ters for the label. Vanderbiltwas head of national promotionat Laurie for two and a halfyears when he and Morris inJanuary, 1970, struck out ontheir own with the formation ofBig Tree.

Their first release, "Big Yel-low Taxi" by the Neighborhood,put out in June of that year.went Top 20. Big Tree followedwith "One Night Stand" by theMagic Lanterns, "Me & You &A Dog Named Boo" by Lobo,"She Didn't Do Magic" by Lobo,"Double Barrell" by Dave &Ansell Collins, "The CaliforniaKid and Reemo" by Lobo,"White Lies, Blue Eyes" by Bul-lett and "You Are The One" bythe Sugar Bears. All made thecharts. Big Tree also made thealbum charts with their LP re-lease by Lobo.

RIAA Explains Gold RecordsI n response to numerous in-

quiries from the trade and thepublic regarding the policiesof the Recording Industry As-sociation of America on GoldRecords Awards, Henry Brief,Executive Director, has issuedthe following statement:

"To clear up any misunder-standings that may exist, wewant to emphasize that theGold Record Award is the onlyauthorized award issued byRIAA to recognize salesachievement. RIAA does notcertify or issue platinum, sil-ver, diamond or other typeawards.

"The establishment of othertypes of awards has been con-sidered in the past by RIAAand ultimately rejected becausethey would tend to dilute anddemean the prestige enjoyedby the Gold Record Award.

"When RIAA initiated itsGold Record Award certifica-tion program in 1958, it did soin response to a chaotic indus-try situation that prevailed atthat time. There was a prolif-eration of awards with no basisin fact, no method for verifica-tion or authentication. As aconsequence, the veracity of all

award claims was held in dis-repute both in and outside theindustry.

Restored Prestige

"The establishment of theRIAA certification programwith specific sales achievementcriteria and an audit of thecompany's books by a firm ofindependent certified public ac-countants to insure that thesecriteria have been met, has re-stored prestige to the Gold Rec-ord Award.

"In the past 14 years, RIAAhas relied on the voluntary co-operation of companies withinthe recording industry not onlyto submit their recordings forcertification but to refrain fromusing gold records to recognizeother kinds of achievement.

"We hope this same spiritof cooperation will in the fu-ture act to inhibit the bestowalof non -certified sales awards."

Gold for 'Woman' Alston Records' Betty Wrighthas earned her first gold recordwith "Clean Up Woman," dis-tributed by Atlantic.

CAMPUS REPORTCollege Stations Grow

By GARY K. COHEN

al Two additional college sta-tion operations should bebrought to the attention of rec-ord manufacturers and distrib-utors.

One is WRPI-FM of Rens-selaer Polytechnic Institute.15th St., Troy, N.Y. The stationis 20,000 watts FM stereo andthe last rating period showedthe station's listening audienceto be over 80,000 people in themetropolitan area - most ofthem students. Music DirectorJoe Tardi reports that the sta-tion's service from most manu-facturers and distributors isexcellent, because they havecontact with local sales andpromotion people and with na-tional people, too.

Among their best servicersare A&M, Capitol and Colum-bia. The station, located justoutside Albany. serves as themain station for listeners onthe local Rensselaer campus.

Joe also provided the namesof three local stores that thestation works with:

Fred BarnardLatham Music BarCorner Shopping CenterLatham, N.Y.(518) 785-7302

The other station is WFDU-FM, the FM broadcasting fa-cility of Fairleigh DickinsonUniversity, 795 Cedar Lane,Teaneck, N.J. 07666. Music Di-rector is Tony Loving, i"1 -o

stated that service to his sta-tion was also by and large ex-cellent. The station is locatedat 89.1 and is 500 watts FMstereo. (The station is locatedbetween WVHC-FM of HostraUniversity and WKCR-FM ofColumbia University.) The fre-quency is being operated on atime-sharing basis with NewYork University. At present thestation is not on many hours,but the programming is to beexpanded shortly. It consists ofclassical, MOR and rock, withthe main rocking coming onSunday night between 8 p.m.and midnight.

The number of progressivecollege stations keeps grow-ing, with WVBR-FM in Cornell,WGSU-FM in Geneseo andWAER-FM in Syracuse amongthe important other ones in theNew York area. Others aroundthe country are among thosecontacted by "The Campus Re-port" for weekly programmingreports.

Artists Closeness KeyAt Dee Anthony Firm

BY MIKE SIGMAN

NEW YORK-Dee Anthonyis the owner of Bandana, amanagement firm that includesin its very selective roster oftalent Emerson, Lake & Pal-mer, Humble Pie, Joe Cocker,King Crimson and, most recent-ly signed, the J. Geils Band.

Anthony has been in the rockbusiness for five years now andhe is almost constantly on theroad with one or another ofhis groups. He believes thatthe most important thing amanager can do is to establisha close personal relationshipwith his clients, and he makesit a point to spend as muchtime with his groups as he can.

If the above descriptionseems to apply to a firebrand inhis mid -20s, that's only partial-ly correct. Anthony is actuallya music business veteran of 20years who has managed, amongothers, Tony Bennett and JerryVale prior to his rock involve-ment; but spiritually he is asinto the rock scene as anyonewho grew up in the '50s and'60s. Last week Anthony spoketo Record World and stressed

'1114E WAY SUNDAY'.

the need for total involvementof a manager with his clients.

Anthony has guided HumblePie from a position of obscur-ity to their present superstarstatus, and their success hasbeen his greatest satisfaction :"Helping Steve Marriott and theboys get what they deservehas been a great personal sat-isfaction to me. They were theoriginators of so many thingsthat other British groups aredoing now."

And he has similar plans forhis newest clients, Atlantic'sJ. Geils Band: "I think they'rethe greatest American bandaround today. I'll be giving themthe organizational support theyneed so they can concentratecompletely on their music."

Other plans for Anthony'sacts include possible appear-ances of Emerson, Lake & Pal-mer with the Frankfurt Balletand Symphony Orchestra doing"'Pictures at an Exhibition,"and further tours for KingCrimson. Anthony also hopesJoe Cocker will be doing an-other tour sometime in the nextyear.

Mil excusas a los lectores de la Secci6nLatina de Record World por haberles privadode su lectura esta semana pasada.

En ella daba

Tomas Fundora gracias en "Desde Nuestro Rincen" a innumer-able cantidad de felicitaciones pascuales que lamentablementequedaran sin ser mencionadas. Mucho lamento esta stivaciOn yhago votos porque no vuelva a suceder en el futuro. Y ahora . . .

a las noticias!Despues de perder el tino frente a los microfonos y herir a la

colonia latina y en especial a la puertorriquelia de Nueva York,Symphony Sid, el popular d.j. de mrisica brava latina de laW.E.V.D., de Nueva York, volvio a su mOsica de jazz, que tambienle hizo muy popular hace arios. Joe Gaines seguira cubriendo aNueva York con su "salsa latina" . . . Por otra parte, Dick' Ricardo" Sugar aumenta su "rating" a traves de su programa-cion latina en la W.H.B.I.

W.H.O.M. sigue siendo la 'Mica que en realidadva situando exitos en el area, ya que la pro-gramaciOn se esta realizando sin miedo ni com-plejos del pasado. La radio del Nueva York

yea ya gran actividad para recuperar el tiempoperdido. Con una radio en crisis, la colonialatina se ha visto privada de lo ultimo enmusica y exitos durante largo tiempo. Ahoraparece que la actividad se ha iniciado. La radioen Nueva York merece un aplauso. i Aqui vael nuestro!

Columbia lanzara con gran promotion dosnuevas grabaciones de Aldemaro Romero deVenezuela, dirigidas al gran mercado norte-americano. Tanto el sonido instrumental comolos temas y arreglos se merecen el triunfo.

Oyendo estas grabaciones se da uno cuenta que tambien en Vene-zuela esta pasando algo . . . y seguira! . . . Al igual que con su

With such artists in the CBScatalogue as Los Panchos, San-dor Leonardo Favio, JavierSolis, Vicente Fernandez,Sonora Santanera and RobertoYantis, Joe decided to conquerthe Latin markets on the Westand East Coasts.

Our regrets to our readers for not being able to have ourLatin section complete last week. During the holidays packagessometimes get lost, and that's what happened to much of lastweek's Latin section . . . Symphony Sid is going back to jazzprogramming. Joe Gaines will be in charge of the Latin soulprogramming at WEVD, New York . . Luis Romanacce, Jr., isclicking with his uptempo music show on WADO, New York.Raul Alarcon is not with WEVD anymore. He switched to WBNXwhich is now "La Grande." Raul carried with him his radiostation brakes (which are superb), slogans and jingles. It soundslike "La Grande" could make it big with New York radio listeners.WHOM Radio is already making hits because it is presentingup-to-date music. It is a shame about the state of radio in NewYork. After improving the musical taste of the whole Latinpopulation of the area, New York flourished during the '60s andthen suddenly declined. But radio there is starting to move again,Our applause! . . . And regarding Dick "Ricardo" Sugar, he isalso gaining listeners.

Columbia is releasing two albums by Aldemaro Romero fromVenezuela. Sound is superb and different and could make it inthe American market. Terrific instrumentals that will smash ifproperly promoted . . . Willie Colon made it again with "LaMurga" after his smashing hit "Che Che Cole" that sold hundredsof thousands . . .

LONDON-The new year sees the launching of two new rec-ord labels requiring extensive re -organization of two major pub-lishing companies. The first concerns the Dick James Organiza-tion whose DJM label will now specialize in contemporary art-ists only, leaving their new Jam label for general pop product.Stephen James will head both operations, while Steve Brown willbe mainly responsible for DJM and Dennis Berger will actsimilarly for Jam. The new label will be distributed throughPye in the U.K. as is DJM, although an alternative export officewill now be operated through DJM by James' assistant, PhilipCoke11. Secondly, former Feldman Music head Ben Nisbet hasformed an entirely new operation consisting of a record outlet tobe called Sovereign, Big Ben Music Publishing and Two WorldsArtist Management. Nisbet has entered into an association withSir Max Rayne, Lord Goodman, John and Roy Boulting, agentsJohn Sherry and Miles Copeland, Jacques de Lane Lea and recordproducer Derek Lawrence for the Two Worlds Management sec-tion. Lawrence will also produce a new act fronted by former Yesman Peter Banks named Flash for Sovereign. The label will bedistributed by EMI in the U.K. and Europe and by Capitol in theU.S.A. Big Ben Music initial captures include Bob Dylan's newRam Horn Music and MCA acts Stackridge and Gordon Giltrap.Former Feldman Professional Manager Ronnie Beck will fill thegeneral manager's position, and he has also been appointed anexecutive director of the company. Feldman's is off to a goodstart under their new chief in having the publishing on thenew Jeff Beck group album, "Rough And Ready," which has nowbeen issued by Epic (CBS) here to a sensational reaction.

Pretty Things Join KinneyPreviously with EMI's Harvest label, The Pretty Things have

been signed by Kinney Records and their first album is in prepar-ation. Meanwhile, recently re-signed to Polydor Slade have theirfirst 1972 single issued on Jan. 28. The song, "Look Wot YouDun," was composed by three members of the group, as was theirrecent number one record, "Coz I Luv You" . .. A short list of sixsongs for Britain's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest has beenselected by a joint committee from the Music Publishers' Associa-tion, the BBC and representatives from the New Seekers, who willbe performing our entry this year. The six songs will be per-formed by the group during the current Cliff Richard BBC -TVseries and viewers' votes will decide the final entry. They are"Out on the Edge of Beyond" by John Dendall and Mike Sammes;"Sing Out" by Ron Dunlop; "Why Can't We All Get Together,"by Ray Davies; "One By One," by Eddie Seago and Mike Leander;"Songs of Praise" by Roy Wood; and "Beg Steal or Borrow" byTony Cole, Graeme Hall and Steve Woolfe.

Dialogue: The Small Agency(Continued from, page 6)

precious minutes when the group really comes off well? TV canonly be important on a thing like NET, where the artists aregiven freedom, where the people involved are young people,where the directors are not 75 -year -old guys who have been tiedin to standard format procedures, where an artist who's articulateenough is given a chance not only to play but to talk and com-municate. Even the Rolling Stones, the number one group in theworld, didn't come off well on TV during their last tour becausethey were only given about six minutes.

Record World: Why the trend toward smaller agencies, whenin the record and publishing ends the trend seems to be towardconsolidation?

Spar: There are financial reasons why a publishing companywould merge. But the agency business is really a telephone busi-ness. We don't need offices around the country. It does cost a lotof money to run a small agency, but the rewards of doing it arecertainly there; the aesthetic rewards, the creative rewards, theinternal rewards, and so on.

NASHVILLE REPORT

By RED O'DONNELL

elE Tex Ritter the old pro, celebrates his 66thbirthday Jan. 12. Any notion of retiring? "Nosir, only from politics," says Tex, who lost abid to become U.S. Senator from Tennessee in1971. "Roy Acuff," he continues, "is about theonly country entertainer I know near my agewho can afford to retire. Roy's a millionaire."Tex works about 150 shows annually. He'll bein Fairbanks, Alaska, on his birthday, playing

at an Army NCO Club. "I'm booked in Alaska during the winterand Florida during the summer," he laughs. "Yet I don't turndown many bookings." Soft-spoken and gentlemanly, Tex has beena performer 44 years. "I began singing cowboy songs on radioKPRC in Houston in 1928," he says. "High Noon" is a song longassociated with Tex-"I have to do it at every show"-but he says"Green Grow the Lilacs" is his most successfully commercialrecording. The day I talked with Tex he was headed for a studiofor some recording on the Capitol label. (He's been with Capitolsince it began in 1941-"I was one of the original stockholders;not much stock, but an original.") Independent producer JoeAllison is now directing his sessions. "Joe and I have been palsfor a long time," Ritter says. "We get along just fine. We aretrying something different this time." I asked him why he wasn'tinterested in becoming a candidate for political office again."Once is enough," he declared with emphasis. "Never again,"he said-and he didn't smile.

Decca artist Bill Anderson's appearance on ABC TV's "AliasSmith & Jones" will be aired Jan. 27. Anderson's segment is onthe last show taped by the late Peter Duel . . . Roy Acuff's nextsingle on Hickory is skedded to be "Back to the Mountains,"which has been the theme (signoff) of his Roy Acuff & theSmoky Mountain Boys stage and radio show for more than 35years. Written in the early 1930s by Carson Robinson, the folk -country tune has never been recorded before! ... Jerry Reed is onthe West Coast taping an appearance on the Glen Campbell CBS-TVer . . . Decca's local Vice President, Owen Bradley, who under-went cataract operation last month, is now able to go to his officedaily, but is functioning on a part-time basis.

The Jackson 5s' concert New Year's night (not the best nightin the year for a personal appearance) went SRO. More than10,000 in the 9,000 -capacity Municipal Auditorium. A fine showby a young, charming, talented group.
