French Move To EndCo -Publishing DealsParis -A French Ministry ofCulture commission is seek-ing to enforce a code of con-duct to prevent co -publi-shing deals between recordcompanies, broadcastersand music publishers.

In the new proposals, tobe publicised at MIDEMnext week, the commissionattacks the "collusion ofpractices involving musicproducers, publishers andbroadcasters" and asks forthe voluntary adoption ofnew guidelines.

Commission presidentand Europe 1 executive, YvesBigot, says if the code is notaccepted then stricter regu-lations may be proposed bythe minister of culture, JackLang, and put beforeparliament.

Bigot: "As far as co -

publishing deals are con-cerned, for the past 15 yearsat Europe 1, I have been astrong opponent of thatpractice. I just hope now itwill stop!'

The commission pro-

posals seek to prevent radiostations from receivingpayments for broadcastingmusic, other than fromadvertising. In France, it iscommon practice amongAM stations, like RTL andEurope 1, to gain revenuefrom accepting a percentageof publishing income inreturn for airplay.

RTL accepts that the controversy has been around for15 years and acknowledgesthat guidelines are needed."We are aware of the com-mission though we have notbeen formally notified a-bout its recommendations.We will formulate a re-sponse after we have seenthe report" says an RTLspokeswoman.

As well as the proposedrestrictions on co -publi-shing deals the commissionis seeking to limit similarpractices on TV. It is also at-tempting to regulate pay-ment for the showing ofvideo clips and to preventundisclosed bartering deals.

Broadcasters CondemnAtlantic 252 'Reads'

by Paul Easton

Controversy surrounds adeal struck between theIrish -based long -wave sta-tion Atlantic 252 and CBSRecords UK which includes10 -second 'live' endorse-ments of CBS product byAtlantic DJs. UK indepen-dent radio broadcastershave condemned the prac-tice as blurring the distinc-tion between advertisingand programming and say itis "against the spirit" ofcommercial radio.

Under the deal, AtlanticDJs read out announce-ments, scripted by the sta-tion, following ads for newCBS product. Artists so farinvolved have beenCBS/Epic's Halo Jamesand Luther Vandross withthe 'reads' forming part ofthe advertising package of-fered to the record company.

Although it broadcastsinto the UK, 252's locationmeans it is outside of In-dependent BroadcastingAuthority (IBA) regula-tions, which demand cleardistinction between pro-

gramming and paid -for ad-vertisements. As a joint ven-ture between Ireland's statebroadcaster RTE and Lux-embourg's RTL, 252 is

regulated by the Irish go-vernment's broadcastingact.

Brian West, director ofthe Association of Indepen-dent Radio Contractors(AIRC): "Atlantic 252 pro-bably feel they can do whatthey like. Broadcasters in theUK have always beengenerally happy with therelevant IBA rules, whichare seen to protect a sta-tion's integrity. All I can sayis that Atlantic 252 must bedesperate for advertising!'

And in Bristol, GWR FMprogramme controller SteveOrchard says Atlantic's CBSdeal clearly breaches IBArules. He believes bothmusic content and DJshould be "above any hintof commercial influence".

CBS To Invest In Metropolys Radioby Jacqueline Eacott & Jon Henley

CBS France is poised to take aminority stake in successful Lille -based FM network Metropolys.CBS president Henri de Bodinatsays the company has an optionon 27% of the station's capitalwhich it would seek to reduce to20% if the deal goes through.

De Bodinat claims Metropolys,which has a network of 29 sta-tions in France, five in Belgiumand three in Italy, asked CBS helphead off an aggressive takeoverbid from RTL: "We are interestedbecause Metropolys is a good sta-tion with a good music policy. Itplays a lot of new product and40% French music compared to

most other FM stations' 10-20%.It's a major music influence innorthern France and Belgium!'

But CBS is not aiming to ac-quire a majority stake, de Bodinatclaimed: "Our intention is toallow the station to continue as itis. If RTL had bought Metropolysit would have become part of theMaxximum network!'

CBS will also be involved in amajor promotion campaign on allsix French TV channels inFebruary. The station's MD andco-founder Bruno Lecluse saysMetropolys has been keeping adeliberately low profile whilebuilding up a substantial network

Lambada Legal Row Lingers OnA French court has blocked therelease of publishing revenuesfrom the Kaoma hit single Lam-bada. The decision was takenfollowing a claim by EMI SBKSongs France that the currentpublishers, Jean Karakos andOlivier Lorsac, did not have therights to the song.

Meanwhile, the composers ofLambada, Hulises and GonzaloHermosa, who had signed a pact

of honour with Karakos and Lor-sac, have now changed theirminds and taken EMI's side. It isnow thought the next step will bea settlement between EMI andCBS at the highest level.

Performing rights bodySACEM is expected to make adecision about Olivier Lorsacshortly. Lorsac claimed to havecomposed the song when he firstregistered it at SACEM.

Island DistributionSwitch To PolyGram

by Emmanuel LegrandIsland France has now switchedits distribution from BMG toPolyGram, following PolyGram'spurchase of the company. Thedeal through which Island pro-duct was being distributed byBMG had been due to run until1995. It is understood BMG ac-cepted an undisclosed amount offmancial compensation.

Island France GM Jean-PierreWeiler: "As we are now part of thePolyGram group it was natural toanticipate the move and startworking. It is better to develop

new acts with a company withwhich we will have a long-termrelationship. We'll also benefitfrom the strength of thePolyGram sales forcer

The deal with PolyGram onlyconcerns distribution andmarketing and promotion willcontinue to be handled by IslandFrance. Product soon to be releas-ed includes a new LP by theChristians, Robert Palmer's com-pilation Addictions and a newsingle from Salif Keita.

Kiss Kiss BecomesNational Network

by David StanfieldRadio Kiss Kiss, the Naples -basedprivate network, began broad-casting nationally at the beginn-ing of this month. Previouslylimited to transmitting through-out central and southern Italy thestation now reaches the northernprovinces of Lombardy andPiemonte. This follows a 50%partnership deal, for the northonly, with the Milan -basedregional station ViaRadio.

Kiss Kiss station director, LuciaNiespolo says she is delighted bythe initial response. "Listeners inthe north were entering ourphone-in qui77es within the firstfew days of broadcasting. Thatwas without much local presscoverage. One important factor inthe deal is that we can now beheard loud and clear in stereo inMilan, although we are transmit-ting on only two frequencies

throughout the two northernregions!'

Kiss Kiss has opened an officein Milan for sales staff and jour-nalists. It will also be used to helpthe station capitalise on interviewopportunities with artists whoseonly Italian stop -over is Milan.

Radio Kiss Kiss, which registersa daily audience of 430.000 accor-ding to Audioradio statistics,describes its target audience asteenagers and dance music lovers.Its top two programmes are`Simioli '90', presented by GianniSimioli daily from 10.30 to 13.00hours and 'Discolive'. `Simioli`90's music content is made up ofnational acts and internationalpop releases, while 'Discolive' isbroadcast from Kiss Kiss' owndisco every Friday, Saturday andSunday night.

Di Terra E Di Vento was pro-duced by Piero Fabrizi and ar-ranged by Fio Zanotti at theCortile, Garden and MorningStudios in Milan.

CBS is supporting the new LPwith TV advertising on Italy'sstate and private networkchannels. Radio advertisingspots have also been boughton leading private networksand the artist has given aseries of interviews on stateRAI radio, private networksand regional stations.

Mannoia is touring Italiantheatres this month. The touris organised by MusicaImpresa.

European release plans haveyet to be confirmed. CBS Ita-ly will proceed according tothe reactions of its Europeancolleagues.

Mannoia is a singer who hasdeveloped a reputation as an ex-cellent interpreter of other artists'songs. This ability was an impor-tant part of CBS' decision to addher to its roster, according tomarketing director Fabrizio Intra.

Her new LP is made up of trackswritten for her by leading Italiansongwriters Ivano Fossati,Francesco de Gregori, EnricoRuggeri and Ricardo Cocciante.Her style of traditional Italianmelody has made Mannoia acritics' choice. In 1988 she wontheir special award at the SanRemo Song Festival.

Rock Cafe ClaimsWorld Record'Rock Cafe', the afternoon musicinformation radio show, with 4.5million daily listeners, is claiminga record for uninterrupted broad-casting.

Programme director AndreaOlcese says, "'Rock Cafe' startedbroadcasting every Monday toFriday from October 3 1988. Upto the end of 1989 we had broad-cast 65 weeks without a break.With 325 30 -minute shows thatgave us 10.000 minutes whichequalled 167 hours of programm-ing. Our record claim is not justan idle boast. I have checked andcan find no other music news pro-gramme in the world that hastransmitted so long without inter-ruption!'

Olcese believes that 'RockCafe' provides an excellent pro-motional space for artists. "Oursis a news programme with musicas the subject. It is a regular ap-pointment for listeners and radiois definitely the best medium formusic information!'

'Rock Cafe's major 1989

achievements included a world-wide exclusive concert and inter-view with David Bowie's TinMachine on July 25 and an Italianfirst for airing the new version ofthe Do They Know It's Christmassingle.

'Rock Cafe' will broadcast inits current format until July.. Noimminent changes are envisagedalthough Olcese believes that thenew decade will be devoted tosocial issues and he expects 'RockCafe' to play its part. "In the pastwe have broadcast programmesabout Amnesty International,Aids and drugs. Music is acatalyst for motivating youngpeople and we will certainly keepto our policy of providing infor-mation about social issues!'

'Rock Cafe' is syndicated bySPER to 77 local stationsthroughout Italy. Nescafe hassponsored the show since the startand has a US$ 500.000 contractuntil the end of 1990.

PolyGram Creates New DivisionsPolyGram (Italy) has created thetwo new pop music divisions,Phonogram and Polydor. Themove is described by PolyGrammanaging director GianfrancoRebulla as a step into line withother major European countries.

The Polydor division nowmarkets and promotes A&M pro-duct as well as its own.Phonogram has taken control ofthe London label. The newPhonogram is headed by BrunoTibaldi, ex pop music director atPolyGram. His deputy is DaniloCiotti. Polydor has Adrian Ber-wick as its general manager. He

was previously marketing directorUS/UK at PolyGram Interna-tional London.

Rebulla says the aim of the twonew division is to increase thecompany's exploitation of the na-tional market: "The Italianmarket has witnessed a tremen-dous resurgence over the last fewyears. About four years ago ourmarket share was approximately12/13%. Now it stands at18/20%. We needed to create newdedicated and creative units togrow even further and give thebest service to our artiste'

MTV Unhappy WithAmsterdam Deal

by Jon Henley

MTV and Amsterdam cableauthority, KTA, have reachedagreement on the terms of thechannel's carriage on the citycable network. But MTV HollandMD Michiel Bakker says he is"not at all happy" with the dealand will review it after one year.

Under the new contract, validfor one year but with an option ona 12 -month extension, MTV willpay Amsterdam city council US$16.000 a year to support culturalevents. The all -music channel hasalso agreed to co -produce pro-grammes with local broadcasters,using their cameras and crews, topromote local music events.

"We're actually paying far lessthan the other channels, so in thatsense we should be grateful:' says

Bakker. "But it's MTV's policynot to pay anything at all. Theideal situation, and the one whichapplies in the US, is for cableoperators to sell one or twominutes of local advertising anhour on each of their channelsand to pass 50% of the revenueback to the broadcasters.

"That's illegal in Holland atpresent but the technology is avai-lable and the national cable asso-ciation, VECAI, has already sug-gested it. Instead of fightingamong themselves for the avai-lable channels, European satellitebroadcasters should be lobbyingfor legislative change. Holland isnot commercially -minded enoughat present!"

"Sweet And Soft" ShowFor Belgium's Radio UneFrench Belgian state broadcaster,Radio Une, has launched a newlate -night weekday music showcalled 'Crooner Et Compagnie'.Head of music, Philippe Baron,says the show will have a "sweet,soft and lazy" sound, featuringartists such as Frank Sinatra andPhil Collins.

"We also think it is a challengebecause the producer, MarcMoulin, had a similar weekendprogramme on Radio Cite. Theshow, called 'Crooners', waslistened to by 50% of Radio Cite'saudience. They were left in the

cold when 'Crooners' and RadioCite were stopped over four yearsage.'

About 30% of the programme,presented by Didier Melon, willfeature instrumental music.Domestic artists such as IsabelleAntena and Maurane Baron willmake up a further 10%. "TheRTBF's immense collectionallows us to compile tailor-madeplaylists by means of a computerstock control system:' addsBaron.

SCANDINAVIANRK Third Channel Ready "Within Two Years"

by Chris Fuller

Oslo - A third national radiochannel will be launched by Nor-way's public broadcaster NorskRiksringkasting (NRK) "withintwo years", according to Channel1 (P1) programming executiveHelge Wettre.

Wettre, deputy head of P1 lightentertainment, confirms that acommittee is working on ideas fora P3 channel, which will soon bepresented to NRK management.He says P3 will be music -basedand have a "freer, lighter" ap-proach than P1 or P2.

A P3 channel is necessarybecause of "obvious public de-mand" and the increasing au-diences of commercial stationssuch as Oslo's Radio 1 andStavanger's Radio Vest, whichhave "found a successful formulaand put an added pressure on usto retain our audience".

Wettre: "The third channel hasto happen and I believe it will ar-rive within two years. And with itthere will be major reorganisationof P1 and P2. I believe we alreadyhave the capacity to set up the newchannel without any significantincrease to the public licence fee'

The new channel will have asimilar structure to Sweden'spublic `P3' light entertainmentstation, says Wettre. "The targetaudience and music mix will bebroad though there will be astrong pop and rock content andmore chart -based programming"But the channel will not imple-ment playlisting: "That sort ofsystem is more at home in com-mercial radid'

In Stavanger, Odd Atle Urvik,MD of leading private Radio Vest,says the Norwegian governmentmay not allow public funding forthe proposed P3: "Governmentministers have stated NRK wouldbe wiser to improve the quality ofP1 and P2 rather than launch athird channel - if P3 goes ahead itmay have to be financed someother way.

"I would not regard the na-tional channel as a threat - peopleare tuning to stations such as oursspecifically because of the localcontent"

But Fred Engh, marketingmanager at WEA Norway, looksforward to the proposed P3 chan-nel: "At present it is impossible to

achieve any 'powerplay' on na-tional records because there simp-ly are not enough pop and rockprogrammes. More shows likeP2's 'Pandora's Jukebox' rockshow and more chart -orientedprogrammes would be more thanwelcome'

In another development, fromMay 1 NRK moves all youth-

targetted shows, such as the dailyafternoon music/discussion pro-gramme 'After School' and Sun-day's `Norway's Top Chart', fromP1 to P2.

According to recent research byOslo -based MMI, around 1.5

million people listen to P1 at sometime of the day, 1.03 million listento P2.

Antena 3 Wants More Music ShowsThe head of programmes at pri-vate channel Antena 3 TV,Ramon Pradera, says the station"would like to offer more musicand especially music for youngerviewers" in the future. However,he said the amount of music pro-gramming on the new channeldepends on talks with a newlyformed artists performing rightssociety and the Spanish record in-dustry.

The channel, which went on airlast month, is currently showing12 hours a day of trial promo-tional programming. This will riseto 18 hours a day on January 25.Initially it will rely heavily onfilms and old US serials with in-house game shows. Music andsports will play a much smallerrole than on the channel's parentcompany, Antena 3 radio.

Pradera hinted that his initialhope of using material from in-dependents as well as from majorswas one problem the channel hasencountered. "We want all recordcompanies to be treated the

same:' he said.Apart from showing videos

from Monday -Friday at 1.30

hours, Antena 3 has scheduled aweekly hour-long rock concertprogramme, 'Gran Concierto', onWednesdays at 22.45 hours. Theshow will feature classic concertsfrom the past 20 years such asSimon & Garfunkel in CentralPark. The programme will be pro-duced by Jose Ramon Pardo. A90 -minute cultural show,

Carandelario, on Sunday nights,will include classical music con-certs.

Meanwhile, state run TVE islaunching three new music pro-grammes. The most innovativewill be `Musica NA', directed byRamon Trecet who presents asimilar show on RNE 3 radio. Theprogramme will look at newtrends in popular and classicalmusic.

Licences Awarded

More new FM licences have beenawarded in Spain, leading to fur-ther accusations of political bias.The latest row is in the autono-mous region of Galicia in nor-thwest Spain, where 26 new licen-ces were awarded on December16, just before the region's socia-list party lost power.

The Galician local governmenthad 700 applications for the 26licences, 24 commercial stationsand two cultural. Twelve of the 26station licences awarded were tonew companies no one had pre-viously heard of.

SER did best among the betterknown radio networks, obtainingthree new stations. Antena 3 gotone Spanish -language and twoGalician licences. Radio Popularand Cadena Rato were awardedone each.

The government's granting of153 licences last summer led to300 appeals and widespread ac-cusations of favouritism.

UPDATE

by Gary Smith

Stockholm -based Ricochet Records has justreleased a sample of the new material by USsinger Frankie La Motte. Frankie wrote the ex-cellent debut single It's A Mystery by Charlie(Talent Tracks cassette no. 15). The 45 was ahit in Scandinavia and is now about to bereleased in GAS, Benelux, France and Greece.On the strength of his new songs the debut LPTime Out will be something to look out for. Itwas produced by two other Talent Trackregulars, Rob N' Raz, who appear on LeilaK's current hit Got To Get (cassette no. 25)and the increasingly famous Swemix team(whose various releases have been on cassettesno.19, 23, 25, 29 & 34). Needless to say,Ricochet MD Peter Swartling is at MIDEMaiming to get releases throughout Europe -you heard it here first !

Invisible Limits (cassette no. 29) has just

signed a deal for the US with RelativityRecords and as a result will be appearing at theNew Music Seminar next July. It has its own

Frankie La Motte - major investment byRicochet/Sonet

distribution network called Important and isone of the biggest independent labels in theUS, mainly thanks to the massive sales of JoeSatriani. Having done well in the heavy metalmarket it is now making a move on the danceand pop scene.

Going Independent...by Karen Roffey

Following the Christmas release of the Mad-chester Rave On remixed version, the HappyMondays reclaim the no. 1 spot fromElectronic whose debut single peaked at no. 8on the national survey. The Stone Rosescelebrate 30 weeks on the indie chart for SallyCinnamon by climbing 10 places to no. 6 whileDe La Soul's Buddy turns around for anotherweek inside the top 5.

Otherwise, the chart is seasonally quiet.This week's highest new entry comes fromRhythm King's off -shoot Outer Rhythmwhose latest release, Dextrous by Nightmares

On Wax, appears at no. 16. The album surveyis equally sleepy, the bigger LPs of the year re-entering in time for Christmas. These includeThe Pixies' Doolittle, Kylie Minogue's EnjoyYourself, Sugarcubes' Here Today TomorrowNext Week, De La Soul's Three Feet HighAnd Rising and House Of Love's self -titledalbum. December 25 no doubt saw a host ofhappy faces as presents were exchangedthroughout the country.

January is likely to be relatively quiet fornew releases, while a product surge is expectedin February. Scheduled releases for the beginn-ing of the decade include: The Sundays' firstLP Reading Writing And Arithmetic; a newStone Roses 45 (title unknown at press time);the second picking from Wild by pop starsErasure, Blue Savanah Song; Loop's debutalbum for Situation 2, A Gilded Eternity; anda new Nitzer Ebb LP Showtime.

Finally, despite releasing one of the finestalbums of the year, De La Soul are rumouredto be considering a split in the next fewmonths. However, they are reported to havesaid they could produce a new album to rivalThree Feet High And Rising in less than fiveminutes. We can only hope that if they dodecide to go their separate ways, they will takefive minutes in the recording studio beforedoing so.

MUSIC

MEDIA PREVIEWSSINGLES

SINGLE OF THE WEEKThe QuireboysHey You - ParlophoneMild, hard rock from this happeningand widely -tipped six -piece. A sim-ple tune and a memorable chorusrecall the best (early) days of RodStewart. By coincidence the recordwas co -produced by Jim Cregan. Hewas for many years Stewart's

guitarist, co -songwriter and arranger and the influence is un-mistakeable. Compared to all the other "back to roots" type bandsThe Quireboys are definitely somewhere near the top of the heap.

Plan BDiscontentment - BMG Ariola

A brooding guitar song fromthis punky quartet. With itsdramatic build-up and urgentvocal delivery it has a goodchance of becoming a cult hit.

MantronixGot To Have Your Love - Capitol

Attractive hip/house featuring amelodic and soulful lead vocalby Wondress. Classy stuff.

FishBig Wedge - EMI

The follow-up to State Of Mindis an altogether more solid andexuberant record, spiced up bysome persistent brass licks.

AbwartsDie Zeit - Virgin

Uncompromising and punchywith a hint of psychedelia in thedreamy chorus vocals. Pro-gressive programmers shouldcheck this out.

Suzzies OrkesterDina Ogon Forfoljer Mig - Sonet

Rocking guitars, a strongpulsating beat and a voicereminiscent of Pat Benatar. Oneof the best of the many talentedScandinavian acts. Check it out.

Gianni TogniNannare - CGD

A nice enough emotional balladfrom this romantic Italian singer.Accompanied by Spanish guitar.

Sigmund Und Seine FreundeIch Bin So Wild Auf Deinen Erdbeermund - EMI

The remix of this acid clubrecord stands in the best FrenchKiss tradition. Splendid dancemusic with a raunchy angle.Wicked!

Lil LouisI Called U - FFRR

In which Louis gets philosophi-cal about relationships and, inthe process, creates a strongdance number. Different butplenty of hit potential.

Barry WhiteSuper Lover -

Corny but good fun. Tough pro-duction and a pleasantly predic-table vocal delivery. Could be ahit.

Flesh For LuluTime And Space - Beggars Banquet

Power pop - nearly hard rock butnot quite. Good harmonies and astrong chorus. A possible US hit.

The River DetectivesYou Don't Know A Thing About Her - WEA

Thoughtful, sensitive and jangly.It all seems a little bit ordinaryuntil the chorus arrives. A trulyinspired piece of guitar pop.

EurythmicsThe King & Queen Of America - RCA/13P1G

A straightforward R&B number.Good enough but a long wayfrom their best. Suitable for anAC format.

A L B U M

ALBUM OF THE WEEKMarc Almond

Jacques - Some BizzareJust about when Almond startedout as a singer in 1978 Jacques Breldied. But his songs live on, kept inthe public eye by the sheer numberof re -interpretations still being done.While Juliette Greco performs themin French, Almond has become the

English voice of Brel's moving and delicate songs. Now, finally, theseversions have been put together on LP. Do not miss Alone, If You GoAway, The Lockman and I'm Coming. A monument.

SkyblastersLive - CNR

Belgium's greatest (and probablyonly) reggae band has recorded afine live set that fully capturesthe festive atmosphere of theirgigs. The band (including TheRambo Horns) cheerfully worksits way through a mixed bag oforiginals and cover versions.(The latter category includesChuck Berry's Johnny B Goodeand Bob Marley's Nice Time.)

Rene AubryDerives - As De Coeur

Derives is the OST of the newPhilippe Genty theatre produc-tion currently on a world tour.Aubry is a skilful composer withthe ability to pull delightful andunexpected melodies out of hisminimalist music. Although thisis a soundtrack it easily standsup on its own - the various styles(classical, electronic, ambient)work well together. Try Rencon-tres, Rose and II Pleut Sous LaMer.

The CreepsBlue Tomato - WEA

On their third LP the Swedishfour -piece offer a strong R&B-based set complete with raunchyvoices, flash guitar and spicybrass. On the strength of BlueTomato this band truly deservesome international recognition.Try Right Back On Track,Sharpshooter, Way Cool andSMASH!.

Moti SpecialDancing For Victory - Polydor

Funky, danceable and up-to-dateare the keywords regarding thisDanish four -piece's LP. Thebrassy hi-tec production is effec-tive and a few songs really soundlike hits. Try From Your Lips ToGod's Ear, Still The Same andYou Can Take It All.

Objetivo BirmaniaLos Amigos De Mis Amigos Son Mis Amigos - Epic

This female trio are the Spanishanswer to Bananarama. Al-though not as sophisticated asStock, Aitken & Waterman'sworks this is still very usefulEuro-disco. An energetic popsound with strong dance beatsproduced by Jesus Gomez(Climie Fisher).

Mary Goes Around70 Suns In The Sky - Lively Art

Touching pop is a phrase thatkeeps being mentioned withoutit, so far, becoming a phenome-non. All this will change if thebands that make up the move-ment continue making recordsas good as this. The music iswarm, melodic and passionate,the production pleasingly loose.The result is great pop with anedge. Excellent stuff.

Rodney CrowellKeys To The Highway - CBS

The acceptable face of C&Wstarts here. Forget the half-hearted, watered down efforts of'nouveau country' bands, this isthe real thing. Thankfully muchof the oversentimentality asso-ciated with the genre has beenleft out in favour of an up -tempoapproach. A very listenablerecord. Try My Past Is Presentand We Gotta Go On MeetingLike This.

Pan - Eurosean News

TVIO To Be DissolvedAmsterdam - TVIO, the proposedLuxembourg -based commercialsatellite channel, is to be dissolv-ed. The station's founder andmain programme supplier, Joopvan den Ende, has signed a three-year, Dfl 120 million (app. US$1.2 million) deal with TV1O'srival, RTL Veronique (RTL-V).

The shock move has "pulledthe carpet from under our feet,"said managing director BenBunders.

Van den Ende's decision meanssome of Holland's most popularTV stars, including HennyHuisman ('Sound Mix Show',`Mini Play Back Show'), JosBrink ('Wedden Dat'), RonBrandsteder ('Honeymoon Quiz')and Andre van Duin will appearon RTL-V from February 16. Allare under contract to van denEnde's independent productioncompany.

Bunders' announcement marksthe end of three months of uncer-tainty surrounding TV10, whichoriginally planned to launch onOctober 28. In October, the DutchMedia Commission ruled the sta-tion could not be considered aforeign broadcaster and wouldtherefore be denied access to thecountry's cable network. Thechannel then pinned its hopes ona new pan-European channel in-volving France's TF1, US networkNBC and Swedish media giantEsselte.

Van den Ende's programmes,however, were always TV1O's

by Jon Henley

guarantee of commercial success.His deal with CLT subsidiaryRTL-V came as "a complete sur-prise,' TV10's Afke Overdiepsaid.

By joining forces with RTL-V,Van den Ende has almost certain-ly assured Holland's first fullycommercial channel a substantialrise in both ratings and advertis-ing revenue. A spokesman for theDutch Association of Advertiserssaid they were "very happy in-deed" with the development.

In response to van den Ende'smove public broadcasters TROS

and Veronica have already an-nounced they will review theirplans to go commercial.

Van den Ende said in a state-ment that he had opted for theRTL-V deal "in view of the op-portunity to make programmesnot just for RTL-V but other CLTsubsidiaries, such as RTL-Plus inWest Germany and M6 inFrance' Ben Bunders, who lefthis job as president of PolyGramWest Germany in September totake up the TV10 post, wasunavailable for further comment.

Atlantic 252continued from page I

Orchard says such practice leavesstations open to accusations ofchart -rigging and of givingpreferential treatment to its adver-tisers in terms of music pro-gramming.

Defending the deal, Atlantic252 manager Travis Baxter insists:"Our editorial integrity is intact.We are merely making live adver-tising 'reads' a more integral partof the programming. It's a free-thinking and articulate approach.

"They are not personal en-dorsements by the DJ along thelines of 'This is a great album sogo out and buy it', but are more ofa third party comment. They arescripted in such a way that theycan be read word-for-word or theDJs can use the main points in

their own individual style.'Epic director of marketing Kit

Buckler claims he was not involv-ed in writing the scripts: "And Iwouldn't want to be. I'm holdingjudgement on whether to con-tinue although I'm encouraged bythe response. My feeling is that itprobably works better withestablished names where the en-dorsement can be more generaland relaxed rather than newnames where the endorsement hasto be more positive'

Travis Baxter says other recordcompanies are interested insimilar promotions but nothingspecific has been set up. "Virginwill be working with us on a newSunday CD chart show. This willbe a collaborative promotion bet-ween us and Virgin rather than252 just giving them a certainnumber of free spots!' 0

Don't Know Much About History...But I Do Sell Jeans

Popular songs arereaching a whole new

audience throughtheir use in

advertising consumerproducts. What dogolden oldies offer

advertising agenciesthat original musicdoes not, and what

strings are attached?

Sam Cooke sells jeanseverywhere, Louis Arm-strong sells beer in Hol-

land, the Beatles sell hi-fi in theUK, Nina Simone sells lots ofthings in lots of countries. As faras the advertisers are concerned,popular songs are very successfulat shifting products from shelves.

"Essentially, a well-knownsong gives you a head stare,' saysDavid Trollope, head of TV atMcCann Erickson. "If an agencybuys a famous piece of music it'sbuying the prestige, the emotion,and the audience's identificationwith that music. What you wantyour audience to do is to relate tothe product. If they already relateto the music, and you've linkedthe music to the product, you'rehalf way to a very successful com-mercial. Bartle Bogle Heggartywas first off the mark with itssuperb Levis campaigns, the firstof which was so successful thatWonderful World was re-releasedand made the UK top 10"

Trollope says trying to achievethe same effect with speciallycommissioned music can be bothtime-consuming and expensive."You may end up with four orfive different versions, none ofwhich is quite right. The costs aredifficult to quantify, and you'reeffectively starting from scratch asfar as audience identification isconcerned!'

The process of clearing thecopyright for a song can be longand hard. Trollope: "You buy therights for one year, with an option

by Jon Henley

on a second, usually for one ter-ritory. That in itself can be com-plicated. Quite often a publisherowns part of the rights and thewriter the rest, and some writers,Sting for example, are not at allwilling to see their work used foradvertising. I guess for every com-mercial you see that features awell-known song, there arearound 20 failed attempts to clearrights!'

But there are very specific dif-ficulties in marketing a catalogueof songs for commercial use."You cannot afford to offend thewriter. You cannot sell their workif it will be used in a way theydisapprove of,' says Jo Jones,creative licensing manager atRondor Music.

"A writer may well say, for ex-ample, that he is not prepared tosee his music used to advertisealcohol or tobacco. That's ob-viously a problem when it comesto marketing. A publisher cannotsimply present agencies with a listof titles and announce that theyare available for use in any con-text!"

Once a campaign crossesborders, though, the agency'swork multiplies. Trollope: "Oneof our most successful recentcommercials was a Nescafe TVspot backed by Johnny Nash's ICan See Clearly Now. Very

powerful, very effective for theclient and the viewer. Europe,New Zealand and Singaporeshowed interest and it then emerg-ed that the copyright was ownedby a different company in everycountry, and had to be negotiatedindividually. A painful experien-ce, but the ad was worth

"That's why many agencies

and advertisers are plundering therock & roll archives for songs thatare old and were probably sold toone publisher for next to nothing25 years ago. Nina Simone is aclassic example" says Frank vanHoorn, one of Europe's leadingsponsorship and music marketingconsultants. "Companies wantthe atmosphere surrounding thesong, but sometimes the hassle in-volved is too much!'

From the publisher's side, com-mercials are a welcome source ofextra revenue, although none areprepared to quantify exactly whatpercentage of their income theymay represent. Andy Reese,

copyright manager at MCAMusic, says the area is "clearlybecoming a potential goldmine.All publishers are keen to see theirsongs used this way".

MCA does not actively marketits catalogue. Reese says it tends todeal with advertising agencieswho know exactly what they want:"Promoting catalogue for com-mercials will almost certainlybecome more important in thefuture. Publishers are taking thewhole idea much more seriouslynow"

Jones agrees commercials are agrowing source of income forpublishers. "Firstly, and ratherobviously, more and more com-mercials are being made so thenumber of existing titles being us-ed is climbing. Secondly, the suc-cess of the well-known campaignsthat have used hit songs from thepast is encouraging advertising

agencies to think in terms of big-ger and bigger songs!'

Rondor titles that have featuredin recent UK commercials includeI Can See Clearly Now, TheStaples Singers version of IfYou're Ready Come Go WithMe, for Marathon snack bars,and Squeeze's Cool For Cats, us-ed, logically enough, to promote abrand of pet food.

As far as pan-European cam-paigns are concerned, both Reeseand Jones admit the commercialcan run into serious difficulties ifthe publisher is not the originalcopyright holder or if it onlyholds the rights for one territory."If we get into sub -publishingdeals the situation can get verycomplicated," says Reese. "But ifthe agency and the client aredetermined enough that need notprevent the campaign from suc-ceeding!"

The need for some way ofclearing a path through thecopyright jungle has been statedon several occasions by RalphPeer II, president of PeerSouthern Music. "So many goodsongs are controlled by differentnational bodies and that can real-ly get in the way of a promising in-ternational campaign. Publishersshould definitely look into someform of one -stop licensing systemfor commercials" he says. So far,however, no such moves have beenforthcoming. 0

Publishing Rights Or Public Relations?

This year's M1DEM hasattracted a record 1.600

companies and 325exhibitors and, among the

thousands of peopleattending the event, are

dozens of musicpublishers. But what

do they get out ofthe festival?

Music & Media asks ifMIDEM really is a place

for doing deals, ormerely a PR exercise.

Henri Belolo Of ScorpioMusic in France has at-tended every MIDEM

during its 24 -year history and saysthere are several reasons why it isimportant: "The main thing is thePR aspect and we can do thingsthat will pay off in the future.There is no need to sign deals im-

mediately. The important thing ismaking new contacts and thenfollowing up the meetings afterMIDEM is over. At Scorpio we doset up some specific businessmeetings at MIDEM and weusually manage to grab a fewcatalogues. It is a perfect com-bination, PR and business:'

For most publishers MIDEM is

What MIDEM means to European publishersby Chris White

more to do with meeting peoplethan doing deals. John Nice, MDof Valentine Music in the UK: "Alot of our business comes fromlicensing deals with overseas com-panies and MIDEM is a veryuseful event for finding newbusiness contacts and catching upwith our sub -publishers. Valentinehas publishing deals with all themajor territories but becauseMIDEM attracts companies fromall around the world there is

always the opportunity to dobusiness with some of the smallerterritories!'

Small publishing companiesalso find attending MIDEM auseful exercise. Florian Music inBelgium was set up about fiveyears ago to publish and promotesongs by Burt Blanca, a rock &roll singer who has had success inFrance and Belgium. DirectorChristiane Blancke: "We workvery closely with major musicpublishers like EMI and Carrereand MIDEM is always useful formeeting old contacts and hopeful-ly making new ones:'

Lizzy Anderson, administratorfor All Boys Music, the Stock,Aitken & Waterman publishingset-up, says when the companywas new there were plenty of op-portunities for doing businessdeals. "Now the companies arewell established so MIDEM is at-

have worked with and they havestayed loyal to us. MIDEM is idealfor bringing everybody up to datewith our activities:

why his company invests so muchmoney each year on a stand on aprime site.

"We try and see as many peopleas possible and there are usuallyfour A&R people on the standlistening to all the product that isoffered. When MIDEM finisheswe all stay on for a couple of extradays in order to listen to all theproduct and make joint decisionsabout it. The follow-up is crucialto MIDEM and it is important tosnake decisions as soon as possi-ble'

MD of EG Music, Dennis Col-lopy, says the secret with MIDEMis to approach it with a totallyopen mind and a fairly rigid

"It is useful for meeting old contacts andhopefully making new ones;'

Christiane Blancke, Florian Music

Indeed, while deals are notusally closed at MIDEM, initialcontacts are made, and thenfollowed through at a later stage.Tony Berk of TBM Internationalin Holland says it is the personalcontact which makes MIDEM soimportant: "This business is apersonal one where you sign dealswith people instead of companiesand MIDEM is an excellent placeto meet them!'

"The follow-up is crucial and it is impor-tant to make decisions as soon as possi-ble," Peter Knight, Global Musictended not so much in a sense ofdoing even more business dealsbut rather to meet up with ourestablished business contacts. Wehave stayed loyal to the people we

However, most publishers agreethe festival is primarily importantfor PR. Stefan Lagstrom, MD ofSonet Publishing in Sweden, sayswhile it can be very fruitful formaking new contacts and doingbusiness "it is also obviously veryuseful as a public relations exer-cise and is a good meeting groundfor music publishers".

Arjen Witte, MD EMI MusicPublishing in Holland, agrees:"We do not do all that many dealsthere but it is an opportunity tomeet up with colleagues for EMIin other countries and work outstrategies for the year ahead!"Peter Knight, GM of GlobalMusic in London, the daughtercompany of Global Music in WestGermany, says the PR aspect is

schedule of appointments: "As anevent it exposes music businesspeople to so many different op-portunities and it is also an ex-cellent opportunity to hear ofdevelopments within the musicpublishing world that have notnecessarily appeared in print.

"It can be disorganised interms of people letting you downwith appointments but it is still a

Dennis Collopy, EG Music

very cost effective exercise. Whereelse can you meet so many dif-ferent lawyers and musicpublishers from around the worldin one place? It is a great oppor-tunity to do business and find outwhat the competition are doing!"

MIDEM STAND 1901



MEDIA Setting Standards

Consider the case of theVienna -based lyricist

Julius Brammer and howhe discovered a charming

tango melody while onholiday in Opatija in 1928.Brammer heard the pianopiece played in a bar, wasobsessed by the melody,and began a long searchfor the Italian composer

of the unpublished work.

In Milan, Brammer coinciden-tally heard the melody again ashe walked past a local bar and

went inside. By chance he cameface to face with the composer,Leonello Casucci. The two beganworking together and Brammerthen wrote the story of theSchonen Gigolo.

Published again by Otto Hein,the song became a European hitbringing Casucci 'enough moneyto buy three houses in Milan'.And whether as an instrumentalversion or with Irving Ceasar'sEnglish lyrics (Just A Gigolo), itsworldwide success has continueduntil today through artists such asLouis Armstrong, Oscar Peter-son, Richard 'Fauber, Jean -Claud(Pascal, Django Reinhardt, LouisPrima, Peter Kreuder and BillyVaughn.

Of course, there are also morecontemporary standards. JosefBamberger, MD of the Munich -based BMG-UFA publishinghouses, points to numerous recentsignings that promise to becomestandards like Klaus Lage's Tau -send Und Eine Nacht and MandyWinter's Julian as well as interna-tional hits such as Don't Worry

How publishers keep the classics evergreen

by Robert Lyng

Be Happy and Hughie Lewis'Heart And Soul.

Dutch publisher Willem vanKooten, president of NanadaMusic, proudly points to an im-pressive list of modern evergreens.Golden Earring's 1970s interna-tional hit Radar Love has recentlyhit the US charts again, perform-ed by the hard rock group WhiteLion. Shocking Blue's Venus wasin the international charts as partof Stars On 45 and was later re-recorded by Bananarama becom-ing a US no. 1 in 1986.

Standards are important topublishers, as a brief look at therecent charts reveals: Simply RedIf You Don't Know Me By Now;Petula Clark Downtown 88; TonLoc Wild Thing; Don JohnsonTell It Like It Is; Oh Well's versionof Peter Green's classic Oh Well;Bananarama Help, the list isendless. They make up the stableeconomic foundation that allowsa publisher to risk developing newcopyrights.

Rolf Budde, co -director ofBudde Verlag says in principleeverything else lives off the in-come from standards: "A com-pany needs a solid foundation towork with new product. That iswhy it is so difficult for newpublishers to get a foot in thedoor. They lack the foundationand are forced to wander from hitto hit in order to finance the nextproduction. This puts the olderpublishing houses at a great ad-vantage'

In fact there is little consensuson what a standard actually is. "Astandard must be highlyrecognisable and memorable aswell as be continually exploitedover decades with historic and

new recordings", says Bamberger."It must be a recognisablemelody and have been a monsterhit at the time' says Budde.Warner Chappell UK's MD RobinGodfrey -Cass says it "must be afantastic song that withstands thetest of time".

However, the West Germans dohave a clear criterion for deter-mining when a song becomes astandard. According to Bamber-ger, GEMA, the German mecha-nical and performance rights col-lection society, considers a song astandard "if 15 years after beingoriginally published a titleachieves 2.500 publishing perfor-mances annually for three con-secutive years".

But standards do not simplyhappen. They must be created andcultivated otherwise many ofthem, like most other songs,would disappear into obscurity.Rolf Budde: "Cultivating thisrepertoire is a lot of work and isexpensive. If we did not do it theincome on old titles would dropand we would have no up -comingstandards such as CarstonChristopher James' Always OnMy Mind which was originallyrecorded by Elvis and has sinceappeared in hundreds of versionsincluding the Pet Shop Boys' re-cent hit single'

As Godfrey -Cass points out,publishers have many more chan-nels for cultivating standardsopen to them than in the past."Advertising, for example, is ahuge growth market forpublishers!' An example of this isWarner Chappell West Germany'ssuccess in placing Louis Arm-strong's original version of WhatA Wonderful World in an auto-mobile advertisement. The singlespent 22 weeks in the West Ger-man charts, becoming the coun-try's 43rd best-selling single in1989.

Mechanical rights for compila-tion LPs of both new and historicrecordings and cover versions alsoprovide significant publishing in-come. Some examples includeBMG Ariola's January release ofDas Golden Musikarchiv, a 16CD series containing almost 300songs from the BMG-UFAcatalogue; in February, Teldec willrelease a four record series con-

taining 60s `schlager' hit reper-toire and in the UK Max Bygravesmanaged to place two LPs ofcover versions in the UK top 50over the Christmas period.

Live performances are also animportant factor and mostpublishers take measures to assuretheir repertoire is always active.Budde, for example, produceschorus books containing about120 of their evergreen titles everytwo or three years. These arepublished in print runs of3.000-5.000 and are distributedfree to orchestras and bands.

Radio, as all publishers agree,plays one of the most vital roles incultivating standards. Godfrey -Cass: "The more radio stationsthere are, the more formats theycan play and the more publishingincome is generated. A new com-mercial national MOR station(Melody Radio) is scheduled tostart up in London in about sixmonths. It is supposed to besimilar to BBC's Radio 2, whichmeans they should be very in-terested in much of Warner Chap-pell's catalogue!'

Rolf Budde, on the other hand,points to the oldies trend in Ger-man radio where some commer-cial stations are playing up to70% of songs released before1985. Budde Verlag also producesnew arrangements of its standardrepertoire with big orchestras.These are released in smallnumbers and distributed free ofcharge to radio stations. WarnerChappell UK is compiling a hand-book of famous recordings of itsstandard repertoire in the hope ofassisting radio programmers.

While films have always been areliable source of evergreens, TVhas also taken on a significant rolein the proliferation of standards.Watch a classic film, or a pro-gramme about classic films, andchildren will start singingSomewhere Over The Rainbow.In 15 years time will The Look,Pump Up The Jam or any of theother hundreds of current charthits have the same effect? Onlytime will tell. 1:1

Publishers - The Artist's Friend Or Foe?Music publishers are

sometimes viewed withsuspicion, with some seenas being little more than

parasites banking richrewards on the backs of

record companyinvestment. Is this true or

do they support theirindustry counterparts

through investments andby marketing and

promoting product?

Arjen Witte MD EMIMusic Publishing Hol-land: "As music publi-

shers we are very keen to helprecord companies promote andmarket their product. Ourphilosophy is that record com-panies and music publishersshould help each other and pooltheir respective strengths.Sometimes one company is

stronger than the other in certainareas of marketing and pro-motion.

"Before the release of a recordwe have an understanding witheach individual company involved- and particularly with the A&Rpeople - about what exactly is go-ing on. We get involved from thevery beginning and see the projectthrough to the end. We want tohave an active role in the promo-tion of our songs!"

Witte adds: "We are willing towork closely with any record .ain-pany regardless of how big orsmall it is. Some of the projectsthat EMI Music Publishing hasbeen closely involved with includeGloria Estefan, Tracy Chapmanand the Dutch artist Gerard Jol-ing, who has been very successfulin West Germany recently. Oursupport for Joling goes back four

years to when he was first signedand, especially recently, we haveworked very closely withPhonogram, his record company':

Willem van Kooten, MD ofNada Records in Holland, alsobelieves that publishers shouldwork in conjunction with recordcompanies, but he feels that thiscan best be done if publishingcompanies start their own labels."That way you can ensure thatthe two will give each other fullsupport',' says van Kooten.

"I started Red Bullet Produc-tions and Records because I hadbeen disappointed with the lackof co-operation from the recordcompanies involved with the pro-motion of our songs. However, weare prepared to give full marketingand promotional support to anyrecord company that becomes in-volved with our songs:"

Jonas Heldeland, SwedenMusic/Polar Music professionalmanager, says the level of involve-ment with a record companydepends on how many songs theyhave on an album: "We do jointadvertising campaigns on certainprojects and like to work closelywith the record company so thatwe know exactly what is going onwith the act. In Sweden we workvery closely with PolyGram andalso A&M Records, via RondorMusic. Our policy is to co-operateas much as possible with therecord company':

Also in Sweden is StefanLagstrom, MD of SonetPublishing, who feels that manyrecord companies do not unders-tand the workings of musicpublishing. "I used to work forEMI Records and I admit that Iwas ignorant about musicpublishing. I would like to seemore co-operation between music

The Publishing Deal - A Case StudyInternational publisher PeerMusic is set to launch UKsinger/songwriter Robert Reillywith his debut album in Marchafter a year spent developing histalent. Peer's UK MD StuartOngley signed 22 -year -old Reillyafter being given a tape by CliffRichard and his manager BillLatham.

Last April, Reilly signed athree-year publishing deal withPeer which committed itself tomaking an album with him."The first recording sessions wedid with him were purely ex-perimental and it took threemonths before a clear directionbegan to emerge," says Ongley."We decided that his first album

should be 'live' in the studio. Wewant to capture him at the firststage in his career so thateveryone can see the potentialand follow the growth."

While Reilly was recording inLondon and mixing at Peer'sHamburg studio, Ongley waslooking for the right recordcompany. Reilly and Peer signeda worldwide deal with the newlyformed independent labelScarlett.

The deal calls for threealbums within three years withno option clauses. "It means wecan make long-term plans forRobert with complete con-fidence," says Ongley. "Oncethe album is out Robert will bespending the rest of the year onthe road, starting with smallclubs and working his waygradually upwards."

While Peer Music is activelyguiding Robert Reilly's careerthere is no management con-tract between them. "His fatherworked in the music businessand he has a strong lawyer tolook after his interests," ex-plains Ongley.

publishers and record companiesbut in Scandinavia the oppor-tunities for joint promotion cam-paigns are limited because wehave fewer radio and TV stations:

Nick East, MD of SupremeMusic in the UK, says musicpublishers have been accused ofbeing parasites: "It is said that wedo not have to invest a lot ofmoney other than the initial ad-vance and then we just sit backcollecting royalties. It is truerecord companies spend a lot ofmoney on marketing and promo-tion to break a record. However,the real work of a music publisheris placing the songs in the firstplace.

"We enjoy a good relationshipwith record companies and con-tribute to promotion particularlyon the club side. We also give toursupport when an act comes intothe country. We have our in-housePR department which can followprojects through":

John Nice, MD at ValentineMusic in London, confirms hiscompany also takes an active role

in supporting artists. "There hasbeen an attitude from record com-panies suggesting we operate asbanking houses and do not doanything to promote writers butthere are many publishers, likeValentine, that take a distinct rolein the promotion of songs and ar-tists, working closely with allthose involved. We are always try-ing to bring songs to the attentionof the labels and we work with allthe majors as well as many of thesmaller companies':

Henri Belolo, director of Scor-pio Music in France, says it isessential for music publishers tohave a close relationship withrecord companies: "As a musicpublisher we handle variouscatalogues and we have to makesure that the record company isdoing a proper job. Where we canhelp with marketing and promo-tion then we get involved. Dancemusic is a particularly strong areafor us and is a valuable source ofincome so we are much involvedwith the club promotion of oursongs:'

BMI To Celebrate 50th Anniversary In 1990A look at the innovations of American music

BMI, the world's largest perform-ing rights organisation, celebratesits 50th anniversary in 1990.

Known since its inception for its"open door" to songwriters andpublishers of every musical genre,BMI today is a broad -based homefor talent. In the coming year,BMI anniversary activities willsalute not only its solid history,but the substantial contributionsof the creative people it repre-sents.

"A golden anniversary is anespecially opportune time toreflect on both our growth and thetremendous evolution of popularmusic over the past five decades"'says Frances W Preston, BMIpresident and CEO. "BMIsongwriters, composers andpublishers have had an un-precedented impact on art andentertainment and in the comingyear we intend to emphasise thatpoint at our annual events andother special presentations"'

The overall theme of BMI's50th Anniversary is 'The Explo-sion Of American Music', whichwill be formally announced to theindustry at large in an interna-tional trade advertising campaignat MIDEM. Special salutes incor-porating this theme are plannedfor BMI annual events such as thePop Awards Dinner and the FilmAnd Television Awards Dinner,both scheduled for May in LosAngeles, and the organisation'sCountry Awards Dinner inNashville in October. In addition,BMI jazz composers will besaluted at a special event to takeplace during the New York JVCJazz Festival in June; the con-tributions of gospel musicsongwriters and publishers will behonoured during Gospel MusicWeek in April; that same month,the works of Broadway, film andTV composers will be the focus ofa Los Angeles concert by the NewAmerican Orchestra.

Further 50th Anniversary ac-tivities will include a contem-porary concert music composerssalute by the Young Musicians'Foundation Orchestra, under thedirection of BMI composer LaloSchifrin, in March; and recogni-tion of the contributions of theUK's PRS (Performing RightSociety) membership of BMIrepertoire, at an awards luncheonin London, in September. Other

events, of course, are still in theplanning stages and are expectedto be announced shortly.

These established events andmuch of the world's most influen-tial music, would not be the focusof such honour if not for thesynergy of a group of people withthe foresight and the will to ex-pand the then established boun-daries of "contemporary" music.The year -long celebration willserve to remind the industry ofBMI's history -making role in themainstreaming of America'sethnic music in essence, its leader-ship in the course taken bypopular music in the past half -century.

BMI was officially declared

Atlantic Records. "Before WorldWar II there was only one kind ofmusic that seemed to be allowablein America. It was the continua-tion of what had been in the Euro-pean tradition of 32 -bar songs,whether they came from shows orpopular songwriters. And it wasan elite club. The lid was kept onR&B music, country music, ethnicmusic, folk. Once the lid waslifted - which happened whenBMI entered the picture - thevacuum was filled by all these ar-chetypical American musics!'

BMI's performing rights in-novations coincided with drama-tic changes in media technologyand consumer tastes and, as aresult, all kinds of indigenous

Frances Preston, BMI president/CEO presents a songwriter's award to SteveWinwood (centre) for 'Valerie, the US' most performed song of the year.Also pictured is Philip Graham, director of BMI's London office

operational on February 15, 1940,in New York City. More than 400broadcasters pledged fees andmoral support and throughsincere acquisition efforts by earlystaffers, BMI was by the end ofthe year licensing more than36.000 copyrights. BMI became amuch -needed competitive sourceof licensed music for broadcastersand other users of the emergingAmerican music forms. It alsogave the writers and composers ofthe music their first opportunityto participate in performing rightsroyalties.

"It's hard to imagine whatmusic would be like today withoutBMI," says Jerry Wexler, legen-dary producer and executive with

American music came to be heardthroughout the US. Eventually,BMI was at the forefront of thehit parade, acting as virtual mid-wife to rock & roll. It also encou-raged new jazz composers and thedeveloping fields of music for TVand film.

BMI executive talent accom-plished this by a careful nurturingof regional musics largely ignoredby the mainstream. They built afar-ranging repertoire drawn fromblues, jazz, country, gospel andLatin composers. In the early daysof its existence, BMI also sup-ported struggling publishers andsongwriters with advances, ena-bling them to gain a foothold in aquick -changing industry.

"BMI has a big part of mycareer"' says Barry Mann, whowith partner Cynthia Weil hasauthored many of pop's biggesthits (You've Lost That LovingFeeling, Somewhere Out There)."They always gave us a sense ofsecurity, which makes it easier forus to pour our energies into thecreative aspects of our live'

In addition to the psychologicalbenefits provided to songwritersand publishers, BMI through theyears has developed revolutionarynew logging techniques for track-ing airplay and other uses. Itmaintains a computer listing ofmore than 1.5 million composi-tions and regularly distributesperformances royalties to itscopyright holders. Today, BMIrepertoire includes works by manyof the world's best-known song-writers and composers in allmusic genres: from pop, rock,country, R&B, gospel, jazz, rap,film and TV music and contem-porary concert music to name on-ly a few.

A sampling of the more than100.000 songwriters, composersand publishers whose works arerepresented by BMI includespop/rock innovators John Len-non, Michael Jackson, ChuckBerry, Billy Joel, Paul Simon,Barry Manilow and GloriaEstefan; country standard-bearersHank Williams Jr and HankWilliams Sr, Willie Nelson, EddieArnold, Paul Overstreet, DollyParton, The Judds and themembers of Alabama; and R&Blegends Muddy Waters, WillieDixon, James Brown, Otis Red-ding and Aretha Franklin; gospelsongwriter/artists Thomas ADorsey and Sandi Patti; jazzgreats Charlie Parker, MilesDavis, John Coltrane, PatMetheny and Bobby McFerrin;film and TV composers JohnWilliams, Patrick Williams, MikePost, Danny Elfman and MichaelKamen; and concert music com-posers William Schuman, CharlesIves and Otto Luening.

"BMI's open-door policy inthe past 50 years has played asignificant role in the explosion ofAmerican music"' says Preston,echoing BMI's golden anniver-sary theme. "We look forward toan exciting year - a time forcelebration, and a time for look-ing ahead as well as back!'

UK & IRELANDAirplay On Agenda In Chart Review

Airplay and sponsorship are twoitems on the agenda when the BPICharts Committee meets thisweek to review the nationalcharts.

"There is an argument thatbecause sales in the lower reachesof the chart are small, incor-porating airplay might give a bet-ter indication of a record'spopularity',' says BPI chairmanTerry Ellis, who is also chairmanof the charts committee.

"On the other hand we current-ly have a chart based solely onsales - the best chart of its kindanywhere in the world. Introduc-ing airplay would redefine thecriteria of the chart!'

by Hugh Fielder

Ellis says that the West Germanchart - in which airplay is used tohelp compile the bottom 50 butnot the top 50 - is "certainly worthdiscussing".

"The real problem with airplayis that we do not want the pro-blems of payola that has causedtrouble in the US. You could getdishonest people trying tomanipulate the airplay element ofthe chart'

The chart committee will alsobe considering sponsorship as apossible solution for recoupingthe cost of producing the chart.

"The BPI and the record in-dustry have spent a lot of moneydeveloping the chart which is a

highly sophisticated piece ofmarket research:' says Ellis.

"We are spending half -a -million pounds a year forsomething that a lot of other peo-ple are benefiting from. Personal-ly, I do not believe the BPI needsto pay for the chart at all. And Ibelieve we should control thecommercial exploitation of thechart by other people!"

The BPI has already givennotice to Gallup, the BBC andMusic Week - who compile, broad-cast and publish the chart - ter-minating the current contract atthe end of June 1990.

RadioRadioMoves ToManchesterRadioRadio's satellite -distributedovernight service 'The Super Sta-tion' has completed its move fromLondon to Manchester where it isusing the studios of PiccadillyRadio's FM service, Key 103. Themove is part .of a plan by TransWorld Communications, Pic-cadilly's owners and Radio -Radio's main shareholder, torevitalise the operation which itbought from Virgin Broadcastinglast year.

Dave Lincoln, who will alsocontinue as deputy MD of TWC-owned Red Rose Radio, has beenappointed as RadioRadio's newprogramme controller.

CD Prices Attacked By Consumers Association

The record industry is again hav-ing to defend CD prices after areport by the Consumers Associa-tion accusing it of "keeping theprice artificially high".

The report published in thismonth's Which? magazine saysthat CD prices are more expensivethan when they were introduced in1983 although manufacturingcosts have halved and CDs arenow outselling vinyl. During thesame period it says the price ofCD players has more than halvedand a random survey of 2.000people in August, carried out bythe Consumers Association,revealed that a third of CD playerowners gave the cost of discs asthe reason they did not buy more.And one fifth of those without aCD player gave the price of discsas their main reason for not buy-ing one.

The BPI has condemned the

report as "inaccurate, misleadingand libellous". It says the price ofCDs has not risen but has fallenby more than 40% "in realterms", and that sales of 40million CDs last year indicates theprice "is obviously not a disincen-tive to purchasers".

BPI chairman Terry Ellis:"Which? implies that purchasersare somehow forced to pay highprices against their will. CDs pro-vide excellent value and qualityand the rapidly growing marketindicates that the consumeragrees.

"It is in the interest of recordcompanies to sell as many CDs aspossible. Prices are pitched by in-dividual companies to strike thebest balance between high volumeand economic viability and theyare as low as they sensibly can bet'

CD prices in the UK are about50% more expensive than vinyl or

EMI, CBS and BMG have aUK dealer price of £ 7.29 com-pared to £ 4.25 for vinyl orcassette. PolyGram has just in-creased its dealer prices to thesame level.

WEA has also increased its CDdealer price to £ 6.99 having drop-ped to £ 6.49 in autumn 1988. Itwas hoped that the lower figurewould increase sales but accor-ding to chairman Rob Dickensshops have been charging thesame for WEA CDs as the othercompanies.

ITN To LaunchIRN RivalIndependent Television News(ITN) is to launch a radio newsservice. Although it will be the firstrival for the existing IndependentRadio News (IRN) service current-ly taken by all independent radio(IR) stations, ITN Radio will onlybe available to the new communi-ty and specialist music stations.The service will not be used bystations currently using IRN.

The move by ITN comes aftercomplaints from many of the newbroadcasters who are angry at be-ing expected to pay for the IRNservice. It is available free ofcharge to existing subscribers. Thenew stations will pay 1.5% oftheir revenue to ITN for the ser-vice, although it will become freeafter one year.

Token Battle Between EMI And Our PriceEMI and Our Price are in disputeover selling and redeeming recordtokens. Our Price decided to stopselling EMI Record Tokens inAugust because the retail chainwas introducing its own, but saidit would continue to accept theEMI gift vouchers sold elsewhere.

But EMI warned Our Price itwould refuse to handle tokens ex-changed at Our Price fromDecember 1. EMI Record Tokensdirector John Mew: "We felt whatOur Price is doing is unfair toboth the customer and the in-dustry. It is wrong for Our Priceto make music sales from thescheme without contributing to

its growth through the generationof new sales':

Record tokens can amount toaround 2.5% of business over theChristmas period and EMI saysthat the number of tokens soldthis year matches last year'sfigures. Re -orders for tokens afterChristmas are also running at ahigh level.

EMI says it is happy for itstokens to be sold alongside othergift vouchers, as happens at chainstores Woolworths, Boots andWH Smith, which owns OurPrice. However EMI is notprepared to allow shops to acceptits tokens without selling them. 0

Stadt Radio LeadsPrivates In Stuttgart

by Robert Lyng

Public broadcasters SDR 3

(32.3%) and SDR 1 (31.7%) top-ped the poll in a recent Stuttgartsurvey asking people 'which sta-tion did you listen to yesterday?'The most popular private station,Stadt 107.7, which began broad-casting in May last year, registeredthird place with 1107o support.

Stadt 107.7's music program-mer Andreas Werner is delightedwith the station's showing andbelieves local initiatives coupledwith programming have helpedestablish the station. "We beginour day with rock for younglisteners moving on from8.00-14.00 hours with MOR,which includes current chart hitsand occasional German `schlager'for the housewives.

"Afternoons are filled with`Cocktail', featuring top 50 tunes,

new chart entries and a regionalinformation magazine. The mix isfurther shaken up with two hoursof disco, funk and dance music inthe form of 'Hithouse'. In theevenings we run specials, featur-ing artists from a variety ofmusical fields.

"Although we play only one ortwo German -language titles perhour this does not restrict ourpopularity because programmeslike 'Cocktail' provides a lot oflocal information and news. Weregularly look at the Stuttgartamateur and professional musicscene and this element has provedvery popular with the public:'

The Bielfeld-based EMNIDresearch institute conducted theresearch, questioning 800 people,aged between 14 and 69, inDecember.
