HAPPY DAYS ON WLS WLS/Chicago tied in with the cur-

rent hot TV show "Happy Days" recently by giving away "Nerd" shirts on the Bob Sirott afternoon show. Listeners had to call and give an example of what's cool and what's a Nerd: (You're cool if you ride your 10 speed bike with no hands...you're a Nerd if you ride your 10 speed with training wheels.) The Nerd shirt specified that the wearer "was a coo( person." In addition, Sirott interviewed the Fonz, Henry Winkler, via telephone on the air. Everyone on WLS gave away Fonzie T- Shirts featuring Winkler's picture and the front grill of a '50's car. Special editions of the WLS MusicRadio survey were prepared featuring Winkler's picture for the week.

CASINO WEEKEND In what Michael Spears, Opera-

KFRC jocks were the pit bosses for 54 non -stop hours all weekend as listeners bet on their favorite hits. The Casino featured 3 artists competing at a time and the winning high roller then came back to take on two new players at the "610 tables." Casino sound effects were behind all talk, including live spots, to give the station an action sound that kept the phones ringing day and night. Listener /Play- ers were invited to bet up to $10,000 on their favorite artist or split 2 or 3 ways among the gambling stars. All terminology was changed to reflect the language of casinos with listeners "laying it on the line" with "all bets down to the limit" to determine the "high roller" of the weekend. Michael Jackson's 1973 hit "Ben" won high stakes in the

KCBQ Controversy Continues DEAR R&R:

The KCBQ controversy will continue and perhaps never be resolved. However, I would like to address my remarks in answer to the letter of Howard Hoffman from WPIX, and his thoughts concerning the ARB Questionnaire.

Many radio people, programmers and personalities,seem taken aback at what is happening to current contemporary radio, especially regarding the pressure of the Arbitron Survey. Howard Hoffman's comment regarding the sad state of affairs due to major chains depending on the Arbitron to shape many programming policies, seems to lack the note of positiveness that competition creates. The difference between major market and small market broadcasting is the element of competition. As this competition gets stronger, the more difficult it is to get a good share of the advertising dollar. In as much as the advertising world depends on Arbitron to make buys, stations affected by such buys will do their best to do what's necessary to get them. In any business, and in case some may have forgotten radio is not a nonprofit organization; it's the competitive edge that enables you to sell your product, and in as much as air programming is a station's product, the real product is delivery of an audience to a client. And this is what every profit making radio station is geared to do, including the Bartell, RKO, Heftel chains, and the rest. As a programmer, I can't sell myself to any company unless I can show that the money invested in my salary, and in my department, will be returned -plus some. And every programmer faces the same challenge. If the profit motive then becomes the "bad guy," then a reminder should be given that in our country, the freedom of broadcasting is in existence because of the free enterprise system, and I wouldn't have it any other way; not only forme, butfor the millions of radio listeners.

What Mr. Hoffman has forgotten is also the benefits the listener gets from the competition brought about by surveys as Arbitron. If surveys weren't taken, and that pressure applied, what would radio be presenting? The accent would be strictly on commercialization. Why does RKO Limit commercial time to 12 minutes per hour on most of its stations? Why does Shulke do the same? Why would Bartell, and the rest give up precious income by limiting commercial time? Certainly not because they don't like the color of money. In catering to Arbitron, stations are catering to the listeners that fill out the little pretty colored diaries. Some of us programmers have learned to take advantage of the statistical methodology. But we shouldn't be condemned for it, that's part of what we are selling to the companies we work for. And that's what my boss expects of me, and I give it, and as a result my listeners get giveaways, music sweeps, free T- shirts and Key holders, and anything else we can promote with. The overall result being an increase in economy, as my listeners are exposed to the commercials we get paid to run.

I would suggest that by ignoring the Arbitron, or abolishing the results of having the survey, the industry would suffer a slowing of growth, and variety. As long as the search for the better way continues, that better way may come. When the search ceases, so does the progress. Our creativeness does no good if it is idle creativeness; being creative for the sake of being creative. The motivation is there, creativeness to capture and maintain an audience, and I think KCBQ has found a unique way of doing it.

Finally, I strongly feel that as long as radio is promoting itself, it is promoting its clients, and when one business can promote many other businesses, economic growth is a natural result. The broadcasting industry, both radio and television, are probably doing more to bolster our economy than any federal agency, or politician. And if Arbitron helps that growth, I can't see anyone knocking it.

Own A Piece Of The Rock By JERRY BOULDING

In his State of the Union message recently, President Ford proposed a number of government actions designed to help slow the rate of inflation and improve the US economy. Although several aspects of his program were more dramatic and received a good deal more attention from the media lour media) as well as from the financial community, there was one change ad- vocated by The President that we found to be most interesting and one which affects all of us in both ends of this business. He said, "A necessary condition of a healthy economy is freedom from the petty tyranny of massive government re- gulation. We are wasting literally millions of taxpayer's and consum- ers' dollars because of bureaucratic red tape."

What we would like to think he may have had in mind was the federal government's increasing in- trusion into the daily affairs of business and the resultant increased costs of these actions to the consumer as well as to the industry.

For example, federally mandated safety and environmental equipment has added more than $300 to the price of many of today's new cars. This means that if you pur- chased a new car recently, you would have spent $300 more than would have been necessary, if it weren't for federally mandated equipment that you may not have wanted or needed and perhaps may not use even though it is available.

Murray L. Weidenbaum, director of the Center for the Study of Am- erican Business at St. Louis' Wash- ington University, in a recent study of the effects of government -mandated price increase on inflation, pointed out some interesting ex- amples of what things like safety are costing the consumer. He cites the case of the Consumer Product Safety Commission ordering formal hearings to determine if 4 million electric frying pans were hazardous. Out of the 4 million pans, not a

single injury was reported to the commission. Mr. Weidenbaum notes, "It is no exaggeration to suggest that the commission, unwittingly, of course, may turn out to be the most anti -consumer organization of all time. This paradoxical result would be brought about by the commission's forcing such expensive products that poor, and even middle income families would be priced out of the market, altogether. Now before you ask, what does this have to do with broadcasting in general and Blacks in particular, the answer is simple. What affects all broadcasters certainly affects Black broadcasters.

In the recent NAB Convention in Chicago, NAB President Vincent Wasilewski, in a speech before a

radio assembly said, "The day is over when a strong sales force, good engineering and imaginative programming are enough. In effect, you have another department at your station -government." Mr. Wasilewski spoke of federal government that in his words is "big, sloppy, meddling and inefficient." He mentioned that government is hostile to broadcasting and to big business, general. Evidence of this hostility came when government, or in this case Congress passed the law banning cigarette advertising on TV and radio, which he called a "worthless and cynical" law, a

"disturbing, punitive action against broadcasting." He concluded by

saying, "We simply cannot allow the government to get its foot in the door by requiring mandatory public access. "

Mr. Wasilewski had other evi- dences of "unfriendly attitudes in government." How about the pro- posal pending in Congress to re- quire broadcasters to pay perform- ance royalties to record manufacturers and artists? According to Mr. Wasilewski, "If anything they should be paying us." Or, there's the court decision that forced the FCC to rule on radio program format changes. "It is none of government's business to prescribe programming," said the NAB chief.

From a radio standpoint, the past few years have been ones certainly, of transition in programming. Shifts in audience shares, plus the re- alignment of demographic positions, have encouraged many modifications of previously successful program policies.

Discontent among minority groups, both ethnic and cultural, has been reflected in the filing by such groups of objections to a

licensee's renewal application, or by cross -filing for a transfer of the license to a new ownership. On the surface, many such community group's pressures via the FCC can be interpreted as a form of black- mail. How about the broadcaster from a white station in Kansas who claims he represents a group of mid -west broadcasters who are still having problems finding qualified minorities to emply. He thought the NAB could set up a committee to help deal with that problem. Ac- cording to Mr. Wasilewski, NAB president, minorities constitute12% of the NAB's current employee ros- ter. Chairman Richard E. Wiley of the FCC notes that "Broadcasters are supposed to serve minority

W I'LX.-i' .M11

tastes as well as trying to appeal to a mass audience."

The interests and concerns of many different groups find scant reflection in much of today's radio programming content in many markets, both large and small. It is a

fact that broadcast employment and training policies could be great- ly improved. Some broadcasters are seeking Congressional action to protect their investment by means of providing stronger legal guaran- tees against arbitrary transfer of licenses. Others are seeking greater security through greater involve- ment in community needs.

In some cases, licensees hurt themselves unnecessarily by not keeping current records of efforts to reach prospective minority appli- cants. According to Chairman Wi- ley's recent statement at the NAB, "EEO is a fact of life. It's the law of the land." "We're not backing away from EEO, we're very serious about programs. If you don't have a program. you're looking for trouble."

In general, radio has survived the economic trials and tribulations much better than many other businesses. More experienced management, much of it supplied through top levels of multiple ownership has adapted well to the changing times. It's time now for the economic realists to take a good hard look at broadcasting as it really is. We have probably the world's best system as far as offering a variety of entertainment to its listeners on a

regular basis. If this great entertainment system is to continue to grow and prosper and attract the kind of people it needs to survive, it must be permitted at least a chance for economic health. This industry cannot now take on added costs that provide little or no correspond- ing benefits to our listeners.

NEWS FCC On Night Operations

The Federal Communications Commission has acted on a case which it has been considering since the early 1940's. Permanent nighttime operations for WABC/New York and KOBIAlbuquerque have been firmed up. Both stations are assigned to clear channel 770 khz. The Commission determined that KOB would now be specified as Class II -A, after finding that a frequency change to 1030 khz was not technically sound, nor that its current 1 -B night parameters were either. KOB will now return to the nighttime operation mode under which it operated in the late 1950's and early 1960's. During the same session, the Commission stated that a proposed "channel equality" between flagship New York stations WABC, WNBC and WCBS would not serve the public interest, as it may destroy the function of Class 1 -A stations.

of 1974, and are beginning to consume as much fuel as they did before the gas crisis. An increase in larger model car buying is noted by industry experts, as well as more sales of recreation vehicles that are notoriously bad on fuel consumption. To add to the situation, many areas of the country are in the midst of gas price wars between competitors, which some have said is one of the biggest gas war trends in recent memory.

Carnation Drops TV Spot An irate fire -fighters union head recently complained to the Carnation Co. that one

of the company's commercials for Instant Breakfast depicted an erroneous impression of firemen. The spot showed a fire -fighter waiting until he was finished mixing his Instant Breakfast before answering an alarm bell. The union leader stated that "No professional fire fighter ever stops for anything, once the alarm bell rings."

Tickle Your Underarms Bristol-Meyers has announced plans to introduce another non -aerosol antiperspirant,

enticingly named "Tickle." The new entry is a giant size roll -on aimed at women that is available in four different scents. An estimated $5 million will be used in a multi -media advertising effort.

Candy "Trogs" Introduced Pangburn Co., veteran boxed -chocolate manufacturers, will introduce a brand new

children's candy, "Trog -Lo- Dytes," as their first attempt at novelty candy making. The Trogs enable children to change the look of special sleeves wrapping the candy into humorous figures. The National Association of Broadcasters' Code Authority has dubbed the edible candy as a toy. Marketing is set for mid- summer, after the current test marketing is completed.

THE FCC [So You Can Understand It]

A FREEZE IS A FREEZE IS A FREEZE A freeze by any other name is still a freeze! The FCC has just ad-

vised the broadcast industry that because of a backlog of applications for new facilities and major changes, it is declaring a "limited closed season" on new and major changed AM and FM applications. Consequently, any application for a new AM and FM station or for a "major" change must be filed on or before the close of business June 30, 1976. There are a few exceptions to the rule:

1. Proposals essential to continuing an existing service which cannot be accommodated on a "minor change" or STA basis.

2. Mutually exclusive proposals filed in response to cut -off notices. 3. Applications to replace deleted facilities. 4. Applications mutually exclusive with renewal applications. The Commission advises that the freeze -pardon us, "the limited

closed season" -will only last through December 31, 1976. We submit that the FCC is guilty of disseminating false and misleading information and not even the most optimistic bookies in Las Vegas or Tahoe would give better than 100 to 1 odds that the freeze will not be imposed for at least a year rather than six months.

Why a backlog? is it because of lack of staff or cumbersome pro- cedures? The gigantic backlog of renewal and transfer applications has disintegrated and based upon our best information this is because of the work and leadership of the Branch Chiefs Roy Stewart and James Hobson. Reduction of the backlogs in the Renewal and Transfer Division demonstrates that there is no excuse for a backlog and the Commission should change its priorities and rather than spending thousands of man hours intruding into programming where it doesn't belong it should reverse the trend and put priority back on the processing line.

Programming an AOR station in 1976 is an incredibly complex task. First of all everybody is competition, including Top 40, Black, PoplAdult, Country, Album Oriented Country, other AOR's and even television and live concerts.

The amount of product that even the tight listed AOR's have to deal with is sometimes crushing. The average album can contain more than ten songs and more and more this is becoming a song oriented radio industry. That means that having facts, figures, and imput on albums as programming units is not enough. Each cut must be dealt with as a separate unit.The fact that AOR Radio can keep albums as Fleetwood Mac or Gary Wright alive and fresh on the turntables for almost a solid year is a credit to the remarkable AOR balancing act.

Add to that the fact that it is inherent to the nature of all AOR Radio to reflect the "new and exciting" in a way that makes it a potent programming force and you cut down on the valuable element of decision making time.

Record company relations are not the easiest to keep smooth and healthy. AOR radio is still the major frontline plateau in record breaking campaigns and it is sometimes difficult to explain why certain records will get on quickly and easily while others are slower in their positive reception. You see, the guidelines are less cut and dry than in other formats and that too is spurred by the very nature of AOR Radio.

The most difficult challenge facing AOR programmers is maintaining that vital link with the past, accurately reflecting the present, and being progressive enough to keep listeners in close touch with the future. These are all things that the AOR audience expects and demands of its radio stations.

How well these challenges are met quickly reflects in success or failure, the degree of leeway between a station being in or out of focus is subtle and often less than obvious. In AOR Radio its not just a matter of setting your criteria for programming and following those guidelines. Programmers must constantly wrestle with sound versus image versus research and come up with a mass appealing victor.

The 18-34 target audience is probably the most fragmented segment of living and breathing humanity. AOR Radio is faced with not only balancing music but also environment and image. The sophisticated and hip must be blended with the commercial and mundane in a manner that lures the susceptible of each without tipping them off that the other exists premeditatedly within the context of their radio station.

Here's a compliment I'd like to pass along. In a conversation I

recently had with a newly appointed National Album Promotion man, who had been away from the "scene" for the past few years or so, he confided to me that AOR programmers are "blowing his mind." "These people are certainly not the same as they used to be. I can't believe how sophisticated they've become in their programming methods and just plain general attitude. Used to be, you'd just bring them a record, tell them it was good, and they'd play it. Now they're into so many of the numerous aspects and implications of what it means to play an album and more than that, they're so damned organized."

I assure you the comment was sincere and to maintain that sincerity we'll let the commentor remain anonymous. The nice part of it is the fact that his observation is true.

AOR Radio continues to grow. This growth is being reflected not only in its influence out there in general radio marketland but also in its position of inner industry respect and treatment All the major trade publications have now revamped their album sections and most of the record companies are beefing up their album promotion departments many even officially calling them AOR Promotions. There is still a need and room for further evolution, however, in light of the past year and a half's positive movement AOR Radio has reason to be satisfied with the tremendous progress marked thus far.

this album's release and reported it as a single Only a handful had the actual album at the time this issués reports were taken. Look for big chart action next week IMCAI

JOE AND BING

A real pleasant surprise This is the kind of (bunt that gets bener with age Mellow and

ooth. this delicately crafted collection fea tures beautiful vocal harmonies. meticulous in stumentation. and excellent material Every cut s strong "Oh Elizabeth "' Changing" "Looking

For Camelot" 'Hockey Player' IRCAI

JOE COCKER

Simple. yet fine. Cocker is full throated in this basically mellow collection of Soulful introspec live ballads iowever. "I Broke Down" and "Worrier" will please those who like it best when Cocker cooks. Much of this album flirts with a Reggae flavoring. Other goodies include Leon Russell's"A Song For You." Dylan's "The Man In Me." and "You Came Along "MGM)

PAPA JOHN CREA CH D. C. LaRUE

Every cut on this album is strong. The tune, "I Like All Kinds Of Music," kind of sums it up. A variety of musical styles are explored here Papa John sounds as if he's playing the fiddle right there in the room with you. This is the best solo effort by the 01' legend, by far. His treatment of "Orange Blossom Spa cial" unlike any other more standard ver-

.igTravelin On" and "Straight Ahead" are high class stompers. l Buddahl

J. GE/LS

This is the band's second live album. a form that represents them well. These cookers seem to muster that extra energy edge when playing before an audience. The many AOR's already playing the studio version of "Where Did Our Love Go" will appreciate the live version. "South- side Shuffle "Give It To Me' and the rest. (A111

This is probably the most ambitious, progressive Disco album to date, giving the form a new sense of musical credibility at a time when many people are starting to say all Disco music sounds the same. Certainly not an asy entry to program the best cut "I Don't Want To Lose You" is 14:14. However. it's hard to stop listening once you start. These superb

Chart Summary

The margin of difference between the top two albums this week was less than any other week in the history of this chart. Nevertheless, ZEP held onto the top slot in the wake of a STONES crush. DOOBS and WINGS remain powerful chart mainstays. SANTANA continues to grow. FRAMPTON and BOZ held onto their major positions. AMERICA nudged up. This is the most successful album for the group in terms of AOR airplay in many efforts. FIREFALL continues to gain. STILLS was the week's highest debut. MAR - LEY took a tremendous leap. TODD debuted very impressively. RUSSELLS were stable. HEART made solid gains. OUTLAWS maintained. STEELY and TUBES debuted. Both albums are getting raves from programmers. ELVIN resurged again. SOUTHER is hanging in there. SEGER is still doing well. CAMEL debuted. It must be pointed out that due to a printing error last week's number 17 record, KINGFISH was missing from the chart. NAZARETH and HEAD debuted. DART grew. DANIELS, PHILLIPS, and COCKER all debuted. WET bounced back onto the chart. QUEEN is hanging in there. RETURN returned to the chart. GEILS debuted. STEVE GOODMAN, FOOLS GOLD, RUSH, MARVIN GAYE, MICHAEL FRANKS, RICK WAKEMAN, and FLEETWOOD MAC almost made the chart. It was ex- tremely tight around the bottom. Of particular significance is FLEETWOOD MAC drop- ping off the chart this week. The album debuted in the number 16 position in R &R's July 25, 1975 issue and has not left the chart until now. In our 1975 calculations it came in as the second most played album of the year and is already off to a solid start for 1976. We congratulate everyone involved with the album for this amazing ac- complishment.

Just a thought Are your promotional announcements going to waste on the same people everyday? I have become a creature of the "Morn- ing -Drive Habit." Usually, within ten or fifteen minutes each day. I am on the road about the same time. Therefore, I listen to the radio during the same basic 30 minutes. Even though I am like most in the radio business by being a button -pusher (Hey kid you wanna buy a button?), I tend to hit the same stations everyday. One thing I have noticed, on more than one "quality" radio station, is that they run the same promotional announcements everyday at the same time. From listening you would think that was the only thing the station had to promote. Many times this can be the error of your traffic department. You might find it to your advantage to spend a few minutes with the head of that department and explain why they should move promos to different quarter hours each day. The same problem can be true with logged contests, special music cuts, such as bluegrass or songs of inspiration, or even the hourly weather. I know in radio a certain amount of pre- dictability is necessary, but hearing the same announcement, songs or promotion each day at the same time would seem to be a greater tune -out. Maybe by moving them into another quarter hour each day might make the difference in a whole different group of listeners hearing what you've got to play and say. Your thoughts are welcome.

Newsmen in the News: Congratulations to WIRE, Indianapolis, news reporter SAM GRAVES for winning a third award for his documentary "Teach Me To Die." The Associated Press has given Graves a First Place Award for Feature Docúmentary Reporting for a Metropolitan Area. Other awards for the documentary were from the Indianapolis Community Services Council as well as from the Indiana State Public Health Associa- tion...KLAC, Los Angeles,has been selected as the Los Angeles Radio Station broadcasting the "Best Radio Newscast, Fifteen Minutes or Under." The award was voted by the L.A. Press Club at their 18th Annual Journalism Awards Competition. KLAC was also cited by the California /Nevada Associated Press Awards competition for "Best News Program Under Ten Minutes" and a community affairs documentary "Firewatch. ".FAIT TALLMAN of KKYX, San Antonio, won three out of five awards at the recent Texas Radio News awards ceremony.

ELLIE DYLAN, the evening personality on WMAQ, Chicago, has had a song written about her called "Lonely Hour Lady." It was written by a telephone company employee and a dynamite salesman from Arling- ton Heights, Illinois. They sang the song to her over the phone. After Ellie aired it a couple times the requests started pouring in to the station. The station had the two fellows, RICK DETTLEMAN and MARK WITLEY, come down to the station to re- record the tune for better quality. According to Ellie, "The response has been so good to the song a few record companies are looking at possibly recording the song by one of their artists. "...WDEE, Detroit air personality DEANO DAY has been named Honorary State Chairman for the May 1976 American Diabetes Bike -A- Thon. Recently Deano was honored by the Detroit City Council with a testimonial resolution, commending him for "his demonstrated concern" for the city...DON MARTIN is not leaving WFRL, Freeport, Illinois, as was earlier reported. The station made him a last minute offer. He takes over as station General Manager this week. From PD to GM ain't too shabby.

A new Progressive Country station in the Albuquerque is requesting Country and Country-Pop material to help the station with this new format. The station is KRKE -FM, formerly KBEF -FM. For your info. KRKE- AM is a Top 40 rocker. The FM music will be handled by the AM PD WAYLON WALKER. They are located at 14th and Coal Ave. S.W., Al- buquerque, New Mexico, 87103. (505) 765 -5600.

I just heard WAYLON JENNINGS and a few friends are putting together a musical train promotion prior to the WILLIE NELSON Fourth Of July Picnic in Austin. The train will travel from Austin, Texas, on May 23 and cover many of the towns and cities in that part of Texas. The train will arrive back in Austin, July 2, the day Nelson's annual picnic begins. The train will stop in these communities and free mini - concerts will be given. Some of the proposed talent will be Waylon and Jessi, LEON RUSSELL. WILLIE, the MARSHALL TUCKER BAND, RUSTY WEIR and more. The group will invite people down to Austin for the picnic.

SCOTT A. CAMERON, personal manager of bandleader STAN KEN -

TON, has just sent a copy of the Stan Kenton /Tex Ritter album release on Capitol Records in 1962 to Epic recording artist CHARLIE DANIELS. Along with the LP Cameron sent Daniels à bill for $10,000. In a recent interview Daniels stated in Downbeat Magazine, "I, Charlie Daniels, will stake my reputation as a musician and human being that Mr. Stan Kenton and Mr. Buddy Rich, neither one of those gentlemen can go into the studio and cut a decent Country record." Daniels challenged, "I defy Stan Kenton! I defy Buddy Rich! I'll be S10,000 with either one of those gentlemen, not an album, just one record." Both Kenton and Rich have gone on record recently as disliking the "mass- produced, manufacturing -plant syndrome country- western music." Looks like Daniels will be out at least 10 G's for his statement.

A final bit of nonsense from CHRIS COLLIER, Operations Director of KIKK, Houston: "Heard about the new Mood Watch? Lets you know what mood she is in and if you have time or not!" ( Watch for it!)

Underway in San Diego is an extensive on air and outside promotion campaign for Country station KOZN -FM. Pictured above is one of the lovely ladies who were the focal point of the promotion, which used television as well as bus boards to talk of the station. The T.V. copy was: "Hi, I'm your Country Cousin, Turn Me On and I'll turn you on to John Denver, Olivia Newton -John, Glen Campbell, Anne Murray, Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, Willie Nelson and Linda Ronstadt. So go ahead, Turn Me On, KOZN -FM 104!" To tie in with the TV advertising each hour on- the -air one of the ladies says: "Hi, I'm your Country Cousin and I'm going to turn you on to (artist's name)." Then the listener calls in and wins that hour's artist's new LP. The bus boards use the same basic "Turn Me On" theme. According to station Program Director Gary Perkins. who helped design the promotion, along with the station General Manager Bert Whalen, said, "The reaction has been overwhelming to the concept. If these gals can't motivate some listeners to become aware of our station, I don't know 'what w,11. We've had only a couple negative calls about the use of the logo line, but that was from a couple of old timers from the Jamul Rest Home. And I think they called because they forgot what it meant."

The Colorado State Sound Recordings Anti -Piracy bill was passed by the Colorado State Legislature. Surrounding Colorado State Governor Richard Lamm at the signing of the legislation into law are (left to right): Ed Hardy, General Manager, KERE Radio, Denver; Hub Safran.

COUNTRY ALBUMS . 1 /hum Cuts Receihing Airplay

GLEN CAMPBELL(Capitol): "Bloodline" TOM T. HALL(Mercury) : "I'm Forty Now" C.W. McCALL (Polydor): "Jackson Hole" "Crispy Critters" and "Four Wheel Cowboy" EDDIE RABBITT (Elektra): "Good Morning Country Rain" STATLER BROTHERSIMercury): "Quiz" DON WILLIAMS (ABCIDot): "Time" "Say It Again" and "I Don't Want The Money"

ROY HEAD Head First IABC/Dod

A tremendous offering of beer drinkin' Country 'to mellow blues. Very strong musical production. Some strong performances by this native Texan include "Bridge For Crawling Back" and "Remember Her." "Precious Time" and "Ain't It Funny (How Times Haven't Changed)" are a couple of excellent bluesy ballads. "Pledging My Love' is another possible airplay cut. The singles "The Door I Used To Close." "I'll Take It" and "The Most Wanted Woman" (The last two released previously on Shannon Records) are featured.

REBECCA LYNN Hold Mrs Tight(Elltel

Just because this LP is not on a major label don't pass it Lg. This young and very unique sounding performer provides some very worthy material. The album features many of her pre piously released singles including "Hold Me Tight" "I'll Break The Habit" (No this one is not about a nun giving up her profession.) and "Cold Carolina Morning." Best bets on new material is "He's That Kind Of Man," and a

couple of former rock a roll hits "Once In A While" and "Ain't That A Shame." Good arrangements and excellent backup.

Pictured is the new logo for Mo- town Record's Country label. The name "Melodyland" had to be changed because it is being used by a religious group in Anaheim, California. After much legal action it was determined Motown had to come up with a new name for their Country Iabel.The new name as you can see is " Hitsville." According to "Hitsville" promotion man John Curb, "Only the name has been changed. The label design and colors will remain the same."

CAL SMITH RESIGNS WITH MCA Country Music Association award

winner Cal Smith has re-signed his recording contract with MCA Re- cords. Cal, first joined the label in 1965, and has enjoyed outstanding success with the label, including his smash "Country Bumpkin."

Born in Gans, Oklahoma, Cal was raised in and around Oakland, Cali- fornia. He started entering, and win. ring, local talent contest before he was a teenager. After several years as a regular performer on the top - rated TV show, "California Hayride,' Cal worked as a disc jockey for KEEN radio in San Jose.

Cal attributes much of his present success to the years he spent as Master of Ceremonies and featured vocalist for Ernest Tubb. Tra- veling with Ernest and the Texas Troubador Band gave Cal the exposure he needed and it wasn't long before request started coming in for Cal as a single act. Ernest Tubb brought Cal to Kapp Records (now incorporated into MCA Records, Inc.) and Cal went out on his own.

Pictured is Epic recording artist George Jones entertaining resi- dents of the Tennessee State Pen- itentiary during a recent benefit concert sponsored by Nashville's WKDA. Jones performed two shows and a wide selection of his numerous hits.

Detroit's "Big D" WDEE has just begun a billboard and print media campaign that utilizes the above pictured copy. This ad, which uses green and black as the colors for print, ran in the national magazine, Time.

NOTES BY MIKE KASABO

It's been more than a decade since Jimmy Dean has done much more than merchandise his sausage...but all of a sudden he appears heading back to hitsville. Dean's latest release "I.O.U." on the Casino label is getting overwhelming phone action at every station it can be heard on. Jack Lucy at WBAL says it's the hottest side he's seen this year. Similiar activity is noted at WCCO, WSAV, WGN. By the way, WSAV got thirty -six calls within a ten minute period from listeners wanting to know where they could purchase the record.

Wayne Newton continues to show more strength than he has in quite a while with his latest "The Hungry Years." Latest adds include KOFM, WLNH, WMAL, WHAG, WTRX, KUKI, WFTL.

Snuff Garrett, who is the adorable center -fold creature in the new RBR Forum, is getting action on his Randwood release "San Antonio Rose" at WSB and WPTF.

Mike Anderson,WTRX, reports that the station has a new all week feature that should interest all record people. We all know how hard it is to break a new act, well now Mike is going to feature a new artists each week in hopes that the exposure of the artist in the market place will create sales impact that others will pay attention to. What all this amounts to is the fact that Anderson is tired of seeing good new artists not having a chance (due to tight playlists) to be heard and judged by the listeners.

WMBR in Jacksonville is running a "Silly Love Songs" contest Listeners were asked to call in on a special "recording" line and sing their very own silly love song. Needless to say, many of the songs were X- rated. Anyway, the final judging on the most "wacko" love song phoned in will be made some time next week. Another contest, only a lot more expensive, was run at KMBZ called the "Incredible Giant Jackpot." According to Program Director, Steve Bell, two winners on consecutive days each received S10,000 in cash.

Good action noted at WATR, Waterbury on the Neil Sedaka album cut "No. 1 With A Heartache." It's one of the hottest phone activity songs at the station after just a week's play.
