K; i 1- THE SHAPE of things to come? The style that Woolworths hopes will bring in the older buyer,

W@©lies ©lims for ©Ide^r by^/esr EIGHT MONTHS after spending £4m on refurbishing and enlarging all its record departments, Wool- worth is to completely revamp its approach to home entertainment over the next year, as predicted in Music Week (April 1 2).

Marketing director Mike Som- mers says the re-launch is in addition to last year's work, adding:

Theft tap eatcibs

©it indie rifiiteis INDEPENDENT RETAILERS are being caught in a shoplifting trap: they are being hit hard by pilfering losses but they cannot afford the expensive electronic equipment that can virtually put an end to theft.

The wealthy multiples are beginning to invest in microwave technology that shows when somebody is trying to take a record they have not paid for out of the shop. But the multi-thousand pound cost of such equipment is beyond all but the larger chains.

Many smaller dealers are also feeling the effects of petty thefts, such as the taking of inlay cards. Retailers feel that people steal the cards to enhance cassettes they have home-taped.

"As home-taping has increased, so has the pilfering problem," says

Bob Kmgdon of KMK Records in Beckenham. "It's annoying but short of chopping their hands off if we catch them there's little we can do to prevent it."

Adas Stephen Bullock at Casa Disco in Barnsley: "There's no ob- vious way around the problem un- less somebody comes up with a new form of racking system. It's too expensive to buy some of the anti- theft devices available, but on the other hand it's expensive and in-

convenient to be continually buying replacement LP sleeves and cassette inlay cards."

Kevin Thomas, who runs The Arcade in Nottingham, says; "It just wouldn't be cost-effective for small dealers to use the normal anti-theft devices. The only way to prevent pilfering is to put everything beyond the reach of the customer. I wish record companies would send out more dummy sleeves for this purpose of display.

9Music Week apologises to readers for the late delivery of the paper in certain areas last week and this week, owing to a postal dispute local to our printers.

"We're building on and out from what we've already done."

Entertainment will be one of six key departments in Woolworth's new strategy, called Operation Focus, which will aim at making the chain a nationwide Specialist sup- plier of home-based leisure for young families. Marketing manager Peter Curtis told a project launch in London; "At least 85 per cent of record and video software consumers pass through a Wool- worth store at some point during the year. We want to build on that base and get them back on a regular basis. Our aggressive approach will include a broader depth of catalogue, more advertising support, a more pleasant browsing atmosphere and a bigger commitment to CD

Merchandise managing director Mair Barnes added: "At the moment we sell 1 1 m singles a year and we have a 20 per cent snare of the chart music sector — bigger than W H Smith even with Our Price added on — but we want to produce a suitable environment for the young adult, not just teena- gers."

When Woolworth launched its initial refurbishment in July, audio buyer Paddy Toomey said; "What we are trying to do is bring our music departments up to date. Some of tne fixtures in our record departments are 1 0 years old."

Heineken refresBues ieeitDes cffltatepe HEINEKEN AIMS to refresh the parts of the Beatles catalogue other sponsors cannot reach, with a special promotional offer of an exclusive compilation cassette containing 1 2 tracks which span the group's career.

And, not slow to latch on to an opportunity to boost sales of other Beatles albums, EMI will be working on the entire catalogue during the course of the Heineken campaign.

"The packaging of the Only The Beatles cassette illustrates all of the original Beatles albums and we will be selling extra stock into the trade as part of our strategy to build up awareness of the Beatles for their twenty fifth anniversary next year," says Norman Bates, EMI Records commercial manaqer

The cassette, which includes hit singles such as Love Me Do, She Loves You and Strawberry Fields Forever, will only be available to

the public through an on-pack offer on large and small cans of Heineken from July, supported by substantial advertising exposure.

"This is the biggest deal of its kind that's ever been done in the UK in terms of music sponsorship and premiums," says Paul Watts of music and video consultant Stiletto which conceived the idea. "A promotion like this involving two of the biggest names in their fields should have tremendous impact."

Han sacked

for "stupid'

chart fiddle

WARNING LETTERS hove been sent to all Virgin Retail staff following the dismissal of an employee for entering false data into a Gal- lup Dafaport.

In the last nine months, five people have been sacked for similar action although this is the first at Virgin. Gallup chart manager Godfrey Rust stresses that in each instance there was no record company involvement.

He says: "It's always been a case of somebody trying to prom- ote a band they were interested in. It's an absolutely stupid thing to do and it is tragic that somebody should throw their job away through an irresponsible action such as this.

"The chart has not been affected at any stage and we have had the fullest co-operation from Virgin as we have had in the past from the other retailers."

Towerbell -

it for the sisteBi TOWERBELL IS spending £300,000 on television advertising in support of an album of female talent, Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves.

The campaign begins on May 5 in London, TVS and Anglia and is due to go national during the fol-

lowing four weeks. There will be further ads on Channel Four along with pop consumer press advertising, posters and m-store material.

The album features Sade, Whit- ney Houston, Alison Moyet, Donna Summer, Diana Ross and The Poin- ter Sisters.

E'/im campaign

for EW+F hits K-TEL AND CBS Records hove joined forces for an Earth Wind & Fire double-album hits compilation which is being backed by a £1/2m TV advertising campaign. Promo- tion for Earth Wind & Fire — The Collection starts this week in the Yorkshire area and goes national from next week. There will also be a national full-colour window display campaign. K-tel marketing director Peter Hunsley says; 'This is our first major collaboration with CBS, and we're confident that this new EW&F album will be every bit as successful as our joint promotion with WEA last year for the George Benson album." ® A SECOND single from Abso- lute Beginners is released by Virgin on May 5. Quiet Life is written and performed by Ray Davies.

Zomfoo T¥ ods

for Oceon LP ZOMBA IS to run a series of co- operative TV ads with retailers in support of Billy Ocean's Love Zone album, due out on May 6.

The campaign, which will coincide with the album's release, is being run on a region-by-region basis with Our Price, Woolworth, Andy's Records and The Other Re- cora shop. The ads will run initially for a week.

Love Zone, Ocean's second album for Jive, contains both the When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going and Sad Songs singles.

9 THE FIRST single taken from the soundtrack of Iron Eagle, a film due to make its UK debut during the summer, is released by EMI on May 6. Iron Eagle (Never Say Die) by King Kobra is out on Capitol.

CASHING IN on the solo success of Feargal Sharkey and coinciding with the latest release from That Petrol Emotion, EMI is releasing a single and compilation album by The Undertones, the group which started the now distinct careers.

The single. Save Me, is available in 7 and 12-inch formats (ARDS / 4) with the 1980 track Tearproof on the B side. The 12-inch also features an extra track, I Know A Girl.

Cher O'Bowlies, whose 20 tracks presumably start where All Wrapped Up left off, will be released later this month and features all The Undertones' hits plus album and EP tracks.

Edis©[fs Sixties plunder EDSEL IS to embark on a programme of re-issues of material originally released by A&M.

Concentrating mainly on country and rock product, much of which has been unavailable in the UK for several years, the first batch of albums at the end of June will include The Gilded Palace Of Sin and Burrito De Luxe by the Flying Burrito Brothers, The Fantastic Ex- pedition Of Dillard & Clark and Through The Morning, Through

The Night by Doug Dillard and Gene Clark, Rock Salt & Nails by Steve Young, Roadmaster by Gene Clark, Good 'n' Cheap by Eggs Over Easy, Phil Ochs' Greatest Hits and a Flying Bumto Brothers compilation.

Edsel spokesman Andy Childs says that while many of the re- issues are identical to the original track listing and packaging, in certain cases extra tracks have been added.

Acknowledging the constraints imposed by neealetime, Robinson thinks that more can be done by both radio stations and record companies to improve the quality of music broadcasting. Being commercial also means being "safe and bland", he said.

WEA UK MD Rob Dickins and his EMI Records counterpart Peter Jamieson bemoaned the predomi- nance of compilation reissues in the chart to the detriment of new album tracks receiving airplay, although Dickins admits that record companies are "whores" pander- ing to prevailing demand.

Radio consultant Jeff Pollack re- minded delegates that radio stations can never be all things to all people and had to decide their primary audience based on broad research. He believes UK radio stations do very little to sell themselves on air, and stressed the im- portance of well-produced jingles. He also considers the Phonog- raphic Performance Ltd (PPL) system the most absurd thing he's ever heard of. Full report next week.

THE COMBINED Chrysalis/MAM Group made a pre-tax profit of £2.5m in the second half of last year, according to the first interim statement issued since the companies merged in July. The profit was on a £45.5m turnover.

These are the first such figures available for Chrysalis which became a public company only as a result or its reverse takeover of MAM. They show that Chrysalis Records, Music and Air Studios had a turnover of £29.4m and produced a profit of £1.8m.

THE MPA has welcomed the prop- osal (Chapter 11) of the White Paper to abolish the statutory recording licence (SRL). The latter was introduced in the 1911 Copyright Act "to encourage the growth of the then infant recording industry", in the words of the Pap- er.

It was continued in section 8 of the 1956 Act, and meant that once the owner of a copyright music work authorised someoody to make recordings of it for retail sale, the owner lost the right to stop any other record maker recording it. Instead a statutory royalty (currently 6\/a per cent or the retail price) is payable.

The White Paper notes that, while the record industry continues to support SRL, composers and music publishers now believe it has outlived its usefulness.

Statutory licensing systems con- flict with the normal copyright prin- ciple that a copyright owner should be able to control the use made of

his material. MPA secretary Peter Dadswell

foresees "difficult negotiations" with record companies as a result of the abolition of SRL.

The MPA is disappointed that the White Paper rejects its recom- mendation tnal the period of copyright protection should be the life of the author plus 70 years, confirming instead the existing life plus 50 years rule. It points out that France and Germany have already opted for life plus 70 years, and the MPA will continue lobbying for the same period as a harmonisation of EEC practice.

The association is "reasonably happy" about the White Paper's proposals on photocopying. Tnese in effect advocate a blanket licence scheme, recognise that the educational sector has special needs, and will allow it to make multiple copies of up to one per cent of a work per quarter without authorisation and, ir no licence is available, without charge.

Wizard Of Oi

HAROLD ARLEN, who died last Wednesday in New York aged 81, was one or the most successful and prolific songwriters this century. His first two songs were published in 1928, and his first hit with lyricist Ted Koehler was Get Happy. The partnership also produced Be- tween The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea, I've Got The World On A String, Stormy Weather and As Long As I Live.

Aden's collaboration with Yip Harburg resulted in the Judy Gar- land Wizard Of Oz classic Some- where Over The Rainbow among others and he wrote the memor- able Blues In The Night with John- ny Mcrccr as well as Come Rain Or Come Shine

EMI leapt to the top of the top of the market share table for both individual and corporate publishers for the first quarter of 1 986. In both categories Warner Bros Music was second, with Zomba Music achieving third place in the individual listing and CBS Songs third in the corporate sector.

For singles the top artist in the first quarter was Diana Ross and her Cnain Reaction was top single. Top producers were Barry Gibb/ Karl Richardson/Ahlby Galuten and top writers B, R and M Gibb.

For albums top artists were, not surprisingly Dire Straits, top producers Mark Knopfler/Neil Dorfs- man top album — Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms.

NEW YORK: Robert Summer has been appointed president, CBS Records Interna- tional division, with responsi- bility for overseeing the company's worldwide network of subsidiaries, joint venture companies and licensees.

Summer joins CBS after almost 30 years with RCA Re- cords, most recently as president of RCA Red Seal. He has also been chairman of the Recording Industry Associa- tion of America (RIAA) and VP and a member of the board of directors of IFP1.

GUTERSLOH: VVA, the Ber- telsmann subsidiary company here, is to be built into a centralised distribution complex on offer to all record companies. It is currently engaged in distributing books, video cassettes and compu- ters, and believes it can save record companies about 35 per cent on their distribution costs, charging eight to 10 per cent of the dealer price.

NEW YORK: Jive Records has introduced the mega-mix to the US commercial 12-inch market on the flip side of Funky Beat, the current Who- dini maxi-single. The B-side segues together seven Who- dini oldies, including Friends, Magic's Wand and Five Mi- nutes of Funk, writes Brian Chin.

US labels normally provide as many as five alternate mixes of the A-side song on a 12-inch, as club DJs here are generally reluctant to play anyone's mixes but their own.

NEW YORK: A US Senate sub-committee on investiga- tions has, as expected, launched a probe of alleged radio promotion payola. Sub-committee member Albert Gore, announcing the inquiry, already concluded that "payola is alive and well and worse than ever." He indicates that the study will point out individual songs hyped up the US charts.

Preliminary interviews are being held, and public hear- ings to formulate some leg- islative response will follow, depending on the evidence of bribery. Gore, at whose be- hest the investigation was undertaken, also was a key player in last autumn's Con- gressional investigation of obscene song lyrics.

PARIS: WEA Fiiipacchi Music is being renamed WEA Music hero with the promotion of Bernard de Bosson to the position of president and the appointment of Marc Exiga as managing director.

happiness

by Chris White ROGER WHITTAKER'S Tembo label has issued a new album Heartbreak To Happiness by Car- roll Baker, one of Canada's top female country singers who was recently over here appearing at the Wembley Silk Cut Festival. The LP, arranged and produced by Mike Francis, was recorded in Toronto and includes two of Car- roll's own songs, I'm An Old Rock 'N' Roller (Dancing To A Different Beat) and You Are My Everything.

Tembo is hoping that the album will be a turning point in Baker's career this side of the Atlantic. Back home in Canada her credits are pretty impressive: female vocalist of the year at the first Annual Academy of Country Music Enter- tainment Awards, and three Juno awards to her credit.

She also became the first Cana- dian country performer to headline a Canadian country special from the Grand Ole Opry's stage.

win owords

TONY BYWORTH and Richard Wootton, the PR team behind much of the Discover New Country campaign, are celebrating the success of two of their clients, at the 21st annual Academy of Country Music Awards held recently in Los Angeles.

The mother and daughter duo Naomi and Wyonna Judd were named Vocal Duet of the Year, and Texas based George Strait won two av/ards, as male vocalist and for Album of the Year, the latter with Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind.

Both acts ore featured in the Discover New Country campaign of course, and have LPs currently available.

JOHN STEWART

Stewart

stirs yp

o Synstorm SUNSTORM RECORDS has two album releases of general country interest. The first, Chuck McDer- mott's The Turning Of The Wheel, features the musician who played and sung on four John Stewart albums, while the second is a reissue of Stewart's 1 972 album Sun- storm, licensed from Warner Brothers.

McDermott was last in the UK two years ago, touring with Ste- wart. "Out of this came a commitment on our part to release a solo album," says Sunstorm's Peter O'Brien 'This is his first major project since releasing two albums with his Boston based band Wheatstraw several years ago."

The Stewart album has previously only been available on import from the US. "It has been the most difficult-to-obtain album for his fans, and has been known to change hands for more than £20," O'Brien adds.

McDermott's album is distributed through Projection and Ste- v/art's Sunstorm through Probe Plus/Cartel and Greyhound, The Sunstorm label is based at 10 Les- ley Court, Harcourt Road, Walling- ton, Surrey SM6 8AZ. Tel: 01 -647 5491.

review DWIGHT YOAKAM: Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. Reprise 925 372-1 (4). Producer: Peter Anderson. Another contender who should be part of Discover New Country, altnough the record isn't stickered as such, Yoakam is young, with James Dean-ish looks, and a good songwriter, writes John Tooler. Coming from the same philosophy as The Blasters and Los Lobos, Yoakam brings to mind Gram Parson and a young George Jones, and among the highlights here are Bury Me (a duet with Maria McKee of Lone Justice), the title track and the superb ballad, South Of Cincinatti. The cover versions included pale alongside Yoakam's originals, and he just might do for country music what Bruce Springsteen did for rock.

Prewis/i German ambition by Nicolas Soames ANDRE PREVIN marked the first anniversary of his new association with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra by revealing not only the orchestra's new project — its own record label — but also his major unfulfilled ambition.

For among his numerous recording contracts — he is now working with no less than seven different labels — is a project just starting with Teldec to record Brahms' A German Requiem as a prelude to the Brahms' symphony cycle, and possibly the concertos as well.

Says Ian Maclay, managing director of the RPO: "Ultimately, Andre Previn would like to be known as a conductor of the major German repertoire — Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner and Mahler."

To date, Previn is particularly known for his recordings of both English and Russian music, and his work with the new RPO label — the first time that any of the major English orchestras has launched its own label — will concentrate on English choral masterpieces.

The first of two IPs on the RPO label sees Previn conduct Walton's Belshazzar's Feast with Benjamin Luxon as soloist — and the recording brings the work on to CD for the first time. Incidentally, the second recording sees Yehudi Menuhin conduct a volume of Handel, including the Wafer Music, and the Amaryllis Suite, arranged

by Sir Thomas Beecham. The label is marketed and distri-

buted by ASV and PRT, and is available in all three formats.

This month also sees Previn embarking on an important new recording project for Philips — the major orchestral works of Elgar, starting with Elgar's Symphony No 1 (416 612 LP/tape/CD), with the RPO.

The next works in the series will be the Enigma Variations and the Symphony No 2.

However, Previn and the RPO are also continuing the association with Telarc, which began with Tchaikovsky's Symphony No 5, and continued with Rachmaninov's Symphony No 2. The RPO is becoming the label's European orchestra, and is to cover a wide musical field, including Walton's Symphony No 1. Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No 1 and Pro- kofiev's Piano Concerto No 3 with John Kimura-Parker, as well as works by Britten, Hoist and Vaughan Williams.

Curiously, Previn does not have a formal contract with Telarc — the arrangement goes from disc to disc.

His association with EMI also is scheduled to cover a wide field, with a complete Nutcracker, a Ravel record as well as accompanying discs involving Nigel Ken- nedy and Jean Philippe Collard are all in the pipeline.

Glass collaboration

with major pop acts

A TRIO of unusual mixed-genre releases come from CBS this month, including an extraordinary collaboration between cult com- poser Philip Glass, Paul Simon and Linda Ronstadt, and the debut album release in the UK of Wynton Marsalis's older brother, Branford.

Philip Glass has established a wide reputation through works such as Satyagraha and will further broaden his audience with his latest compositions made with musicians from the jazz, folk and rock worlds.

Songs From Liquid Days began with Glass approaching David Byrne of Talking Heads to write some Ivrics, but the net was cast even further to take in Simon, Suzanne Veqa and Laurie Ander- son, as well as Bernard Fowler

from Herbie Hancock's band and Janice Pendarvis.

Although originally scheduled as a May release, with its six extended tracks, including Changing Opinion, Lightning Ana Forgetting, Songs From Liquid Days (FM/FMT 39564) has now been put back to June

However, CBS is releasing both a 7 inch and 12 inch single of Freezing this month, and, says classical manager Roxy Bellamy, ex- pects to do well as the music has a popular appeal.

"The interesting thing about this record," says Glass, "is that I don't know that anyone has ever tried to put together all these different kinds of people. What they share in common is that they are all excellent at what they do."

Paradise {feitrf

m POOR MAN's Paradise by Phil Soatchi is an overblown AOR ballad for the "me" generation, that would slip by like so much nothing were it not for a tenderly affecting promo from Mike Newell, previously best-known as director of Dance With A Stranger — the story of Ruth Ellis the last woman to be hanged in the UK. Poor Man's Paradise is Newell's first music clip and for it he was joined by lighting-cameraman Bryan Loft us, who's in the past worked on such films as Company Of Wolves.

REVIEWS

FEARGAL SHARKEY: Feargal Sharkey. Virgin Music Video. WC 118. Running time: 25 minutes. Dealer price: £6.49. Track listing: Someone To Some- body, You Little Thief, A Good Heart, Loving You, Listen To Your Father, Never Never. Comment: Listen To Your Father — "nutty" Madness-style goings on (it was written by Chas Smash) after tedious spoken intro. Never Never — the best showcase for The Voice since leaving The Tones, even if the vid is all dull slow pans and unsmiling stares. Loving You — better video, worse song the old ballet dancers/classic scupltural imagery well used, A Good Heart — as seen on TOTP. You Little Thief — ditto. Someone To Somebody — not ditto, proof that you can't make a lasting career out of being tedious. Sales Forecast: Everyone has an axe to gnnd about the fall and rise/rise and fall of ole flat face, but the bottom line has to be, one supposes, that he has shifted a lot of units of late. And this timely release will follow suit. JB.

MADNESS: Take It Or Leave It. Virgin Music Video. WD 114. Running time: 82 minutes. Deal- er price: £11.08. Comment: Repackaged tape originally released in 1 982, and really somewhere twixt then and now any purpose has dwindled to an invisible extent. It's understandable the band wanting to make a "candid" docu-drama of their early days, but their avoidance of prop- er script only leads to gross mun- danity. Only in the closing minutes when they take on their recognis- able early nutty boy image do they become in any sense watchable. Sales Forecast: Probably worth having one in the shop for the odd stray afficiando. JB.

PHIL COLLINS: No Ticket Re- quired. WEA Music Video 252 411-3. Running time: 89 minutes. Dealer price: £13.95. Track listing: Sussudio, Against All Odds, In The Air Tonight, You Can't Hurry Love, Only You And I Know, Who Said I Would, Behind The Lines, Westside, One More Night, Like China, It Don't Matter To Me, Hand In Hand, Take Me Home, Droned and It's Alright. Comment: A no-frills concert recording from a no-frills performer who doesn't seem to suffer from over-exposure. He delights almost as much, it seems, with his enthusiasm and impish personality as with his songcraft, and this video performance manages to capture all those qualities, plus most of his hits. Sales forecast: Like his albums, a natural chart topper and a solid catalogue item for some time to come. DD

by Chris White THE TREND for nostalgia

has delighted one record dealer in particular — Pat- rick Martyn, who opened

his second West End shop spe- cialising in film and theatre records last year. Plans are now afoot to open a third branch of Dress Circle next year. And from being a dealer who originally found himself operating in a musical backwater, he now rinds himself in a position where record companies approach him for advice on what to release in the nostalgia/back catalogue field.

Martyn opened his original shop, That's Entertainment, with partner John Yap in Drury Lane in 1978. Both were fanatics of film and theatre music, and what began as an extension of their hob- bies rapidly grew. Two years later they moved to a second shop in Covent Garden's newly-opened piazza. It was soon afterwards that the partnership between the two was broken when Yap decided to concentrate more on the recording side (and formed That's Entertain- ment Records) while Martyn continued with the shop.

A change of name to Dress Circle, ana the opening of a second 2,000 square foot shop in Monmouth Street, has set the seal on the success of the shops. The newest shop specialises in records, cassettes, compact discs and videos of stage and film musicals, soundtracks, nostalgia and personality recordings. Posters, programmes, cards and sheet music connected with the theatre are also on sale.

"Our policy is to try and stock at least one copy of every show album that is issued anywhere in the world, and also to have a copy of any that have been deleted. At any one time we have some 1 3,000 different titles in stock. If we don't actually have an album that someone is looking for, then we do our best to get hold of a copy."

Martyn takes pride in the fact lhat Dress Circle has helped to fuel the demand for nostalgia/show recordings. I believe we have been partly responsible for the many

re-issues that are now coming out of the record companies. When we started no one wanted to know, now they come to us for advice on what to release next. Obviously we get a feedback from our customers of what they are looking for."

Fixtures and fittings are kept to a minimum in the two Dress Circle shops. "I have a strong image of how a record shop should be — I go out of my way to avoid putting in the fittings you find in a normal record shop. We have an excellent security system which means that product can be displayed in a way that isn't off-putting to the customer. They don't want to come in and find cassettes locked in a special rack," says Martyn.

The show/film music market is a developing one, Martyn feels, and this has been reflected by the growing interest many major record companies have expressed. He says, however, that some companies could still be more co- operative. "I don't think that we've ever had a visit from a WEA or MCA rep, despite the volume of records we can shift through the two shops When we opened the original shop we were treated with great suspicion by several companies but their attitudes soon changed when they saw the number of records we were selling."

The personal touch is a vital part of the Dress Circle image. "It's important that whoever is behind the counter knows their subject , and are enthusiastic about it. We are providing a service to people who are interested in the theatre, films and showbusiness. It doesn't matter if it's someone looking for a rare recording of Bitter Suite, or a customer wanting to buy the latest Johnny Mathis album. We're offering a personal service because that is what people appreciate."

Martyn plans to open a third shop near Piccadilly Circus within a year, and is then going for "the big one" in 1 988 when he will open a New York outlet. 'That will be a good move for us," he says, "because it will help the flow of imports and exports. Sometimes we have difficulties in obtaining Amer- ican product but having our own New York shop will help ease the problem considerably."

While also on the label, Explod- ing White Mice have a mini-LP of heavy-duty Ramonesy trash/ thrash. Nest Of Vipers, out now ... The 2,000 Soup Dragon EPs pressed by the Subway Orga- nisation before being withdrawn are to be given away in issue five of the Underground fanzine in July. NASTY SLEEVE of the week goes to the chimp with human phisog fronting the Dream Factory's Cold Turkey single on the Inferno label through Nine Mile ... Also through Nine Mile ... Ink releases Ghost Train, the first LP from Camberwell Now, a group fronted by Charles Hay- ward formerly of This Heat. Dis- tribution is by Nine Mile.

HE SAID: three singles, an album and a video!

AAAINLY FOR the benefit of our US readers, it's worth noting further to last week's comments about the success enjoyed here by American black acts that Aurra's current UK Top 20 smash isn't even signed to a label in their home country yet, and another imminent hot release here although ostensibly first on import was in fact pressed in the US purely for export to build a buzz ana get a UK label deal! This latter is Thomas & Taylor's You Can't Blame Love (Cooltempo COOLX 1 23), a gorgeous lazily-swaying soul duet already much played on radio and lixely to cross over immediately.

Last week's biggest imports included on 1 2-inch Pauli Carman's Dial My Number (US Columbia 44-05373), a good bright bounder from The System, and on LP The Coirfroilers' Stay (MCA Records MCA-5681), eagerly awaited strong soul set, Willie Collins' Where You Gonna Be Tonight? (Capitol ST- 1 2442), exceptional debut by New York's singing postman who could give Freddie Jackson a fright; Fat Boys' Big & Beautiful (Sutra SUS 1 01 7), typical rappers including more human beat box and their cover of James Brown's Sex Machine. Similarly rapping, Grandmaster Flash's The Source (Elektra 960 476-1) is now out here.

Right, now to try and whittle down the ever-growing mound of UK-released 12-inchers! Ren6 & Angela's Your Smile (Club JABX 24), distinctively different powerful smoocher like a more soulful Atlantic Starr in appeal; Total Contrast's What You Gonna Do About It (London LONX 95), lively Luther Vandross-ish wriggler sure to explode in the soul market, Mantronix' Bassline (1 0 Records TEN T 11 8), go go hip hop with proven appeal although the flip's remix of Ladies still sounds fresher, T.C. Curtis's Let's Make Love (Hot Melt 1 2 TC005, via PRT), breathily sung infectiously fluid canterer like a looser Colonel Abrams; D.S.M.'s Destiny (Elite DAZZ 52), one of those monotonous instrumental that sell mainly to mixing DJs; James Cobbin & Prime Cot's Caught In The Middle (Lovebeat International LOVT 5), traditional soul singing to a modern wnggly beat moderately v/arm on import; Sieve Arrington's The Jammin' National Anthem (Atlantic A9428T), initially disappointing jiggly jumper now winning through with its breeziness; Durell Colemm's V/hen A Man Loves ^ a Q 10

(Fourth & Broadv/ay 1 46), excellent Percy Sledge revival hidden as flip to the tnrowaway Somebody Took My Love, Zapp's Computer Love (Warner Bros W8805T), typically vocodored lovely slow soul slinker; Diana Ross's

PAGE 11

Expenence (Capitol 1 2CL 400), attractive Bee Gees swayer; York's It's On Me (Sparian/Hot Melt 1 2SP 1 32), tranquil sweet soul smoocher.

Sieve Carfifon's Keep On Walking (RCA PT 40696), untidily started insistent little strider; Eariene Beniiey's Point Of No Return (Champion CHAMP 1 2-1 3), pleasant Dr Buzzard-ish swayer; Barbara Penningion's Out Of The Darkest Night (Record Shack SOHOT 55, via RCA), melodically wailed rolling v/eaver; Any Day Now's She Me The Way (A&M AMY 31 0), jerky episodic jitterer by Paul Hardcastle's original partner Derek Green,; Pretty Ricky & Boo-Ski's It's Mine (be'bop & Fresh 1 2DANCE 1, via Pinnacle), routine hip hop from a new Cherry Red label; Harold Mehrin & The Bluenotes' Prayin' (Stateside 1 2STATES 2, via EMl), remixed dated Philly soul from 1 979, not another Real Thing, World's Famous Supreme Team's Hey! DJ (Charisma TEA 1-12), reissued haunting swayer from 1 984; The Jets' Crush On You (MCA Records MCAT 1 048), Five Star- type Polynesian family group needing TV to break here; Morris Day's Color Of Success (Warner Bros W8809T), dull but fashionable burbling strut; Roshelle Fleming's Love Itch (Crossover SLN 1, via PRT), strikingly acappella introed strong voiced but rambling dated disco; Royalle Delrte's Spend A Little Time With Me (Streetwave MKHAN 60), sweetly cooed girlie group slowie with some bum notes; Candi McKenzie's Turn Me Up (Adventure YZ64T, via WEA), competent emphatic plodder, Flesh's The 2nd Choice (London LONX 87), girls sung tumbling London jolter by a busily PA-ing group; Lewis's Can't Wait Another Minute (Riva RIVA T 45, via PRT), arguably superior oriainal of Five Star's hit hidden as flip to the frantic If The Love Fits, Aretha Franklin's Freeway Of Love (The Pink Cadillac Mix) (Arista ARIST 22624), last year's US pop smash reissued in its pink vinyl clonking Alan Coulthard remix for the Whitney Houston market only.

Some Hi-NRG/Eurobeat gay club hits include Klki Dee's Another Day Comes (Another Day Goes) (Columbia 1 2DB 91 22, via EMI), exciting unusual gospel-ish surger somev/hat obscured as a song by the rhythm arrangements; Louise Thomas's Reflex Action (R&B Records RBL 1803, via PRT), forceful simple Hi-NRG; Hasell Dean's E S.P. (EMI 1 2EMI 5560), dreary subdued plodder.

That's all that space allows, but more next week. Turn to pages 22/23 for charts and news:

SINGLES by Jerry Smith

THE SCREAMING BLUE MES- SIAHS: Smash The Market Place (WEA YZ 69 (T), WEA). Another hard shuddenng single from this sadly underrated band. The macnine gun rhythm and sharp guitaring should do much to improve their standing and draw fans towards their new album, Gun Shy from which it is taken.

THIRTEEN MOONS: A True Story (Wire WRMS 008, Nine Mile/Cartel). This strong and moody four track -single takes a while to get used to, but its sparse ambient style proves to be highly effective as this Swedish duo use strains of soul and jazz to make a totally innovative sound.

WIN: Shampoo Tears (London LON(X) 85, PoIyGram). Success is long overdue for this exciting and vibrant band, but this single snould do it with its magnificent big beat and massed vocals climaxing with an unforgettable chorus. All this and the added bonus of a marvel- lously chaotic version of The Slider.

& STOCK IT

PETE WYLIE: Sinful (MDM/Virgin MDM 7 (12), EMI). The loudest mouth in Liverpool returns with a bright, energetic number bearing all the trade marks that made Wah! great and as such this epic single should be a massive hit.

ROBERT PALMER: Addicted to Love (Island (12)IS 270, EMI). This track from Palmer's latest album, Riptide, has already made a big impact in the US and The raunchy sound and hard dance beat accompanying his strong vocals should give him his first hit for a while. PATTI LA BELLE AND MICHAEL McDONALD: On My Own (MCA MCA (T) 1045, PoIyGram). Written and produced by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sa- ger, massive airplay is on the cards for this polished ballad.

PRECIOUS WILSON: The Jewel Of The Nile (Jive JIVE (T) 115, PRT). This is the title track to the film that has already produced a number one with Billy Ocean's When The Going Gets Tough, and although this is not quite as memor- able a number it should make an impact with its bubbling rhythm and slick production.

STOCK IT THE JASMINE MINKS: Cold Heart (Creation CRE 025(T), Rough Trade/Cartel). A- wonderful four-track EP from this Scottish

ROBERT PALMER; big hit ahead

LOVE & MONEY: charts & fame?

band — The title track being particularly very commercial with its chiming guitars and simple sweet melody. The rest lurch along in an engaging, energetic style.

HULA: Freeze Out (Red Rhino— (REDT 64), Red Rhino/Cartel). This brash industrial Sheffield band have been gradually gaining a reputation and now, having supported Depeche Mode on their latest tour, this shaking, spluttering new single could help them to break out of their cult position.

THE CHURCH: Tantalized (EMI (12)EMI 5557, EMI). These much- praised Australians have never quite fulfilled their promise despite producing some excellent singles. Hopefully the swirling guitars and psychedelic tinge or their latest single will bring them some de- served success.

LOVE AND MONEY: Candybar Express (Mercury/Phonogram MONEY 1(12), PoIyGram). Another new Scottish pop group head for the charts with this catchy and very danceable debut single All competently done and rather in the vein of a less subtle Hipsway.

■m

PETE WYLIE: a sin if it's not massive.

TEN TEN: Million Miles Away (Chrysalis CHS (12) 2975, PoIy- Gram). American guilar-based rock band issue a bright and boun- cy version of the Plimsouls number as their debut single. Stephen Street's crisp production makes this a dynamic number capable of gaining good exposure.

SOPHIA GEORGE: Lazy Body/ Can't Live Without You (Winner WIN(T) 03, EMI/Jetstar) Sophia George follows her Top 1 0 hit with this double A side single featuring two insistent dance tracks. Both are pleasant, but neither contains the novelty appeal that made Girlie Girlie such a big hit.

INXS: What You Need (Mercury/ Phonogram INXS 5(12), PoIy- Gram). This Australian band have already had a big hit in the US with this number, but its big bold brassy sound seems to make a lot of noise with out going anywhere.

LP ROriilfS

THAT PETROL EMOTION: Man- ic Pop Thrill. Demon. FIEND 70. Producer: Hugh Jones. Guitars like splintered glass and (for the most part) melodies as hard and shiny as diamonds — but like diamonds their glint is often cruelly cold. Not a record then for old Undertones fans — despite the tempering force of a couple of almost McCartney-esque slowies and intensely tuneful single. Its A Good Thing — but offering more than something of its title to those set aflame by The Three Johns, Mighty Lemondrops and their in- cendiary ilk.

s? STOCK IT

THE BIBLE!: Walking The Ghost Back Home. Backs. NCHLP8. Something very major going on here, to be sure. Timeless songwrit- ing, sometimes sophisticated to an almost Donald Fagen extent and sometimes absolutely absorbing in its naked simplicity. Not every track's right there (particularly lyri- cally) it's true, but still one of very few debuts so far this year to ex- ude the thrill of star quality.

VARIOUS: Let's Hear It From The Girls. Stylus SMR 8614. VARIOUS: Sisters Are Doin' It. Towerbell TVLP 11. Two companies, one idea, lots of TV ads. These self-explanatory big-hit compilations, Towerbell's with 1 6 tracks and Stylus with 28, do dupli- cate some titles, but both will sell

BILLY OCEAN: Love Zone. Jive Records HIP 35. Producers: Wayne Brathwaite/Barry J East- mond. JENNIFER RUSH: Movin. CBS 26710. Producer: Gunther Mende/Candy De Rouge. Any artistic criticism seems churlish in view of Ocean and Rush's chart achievements, but these really are very ordinary albums which are unlikely to push back the frontiers of anything except sales, which, of course, makes them important. In- offensive dance melodies and lyrical nonsenses. Undemanding biggies.

STOCK IT ANITA BAKER: Rapture. Elektra EKT 37. Exauisite Detroit songbird known thus far only by the specialists for her '82 album The Songs- tress. This big-league debut de- serves to breaT her big, Anita Bak- er has a voice that exudes more real soul than ever Whitney Hous- ton's could and the material, especially Mystery and You Bring Me Joy, matches the vocals.

KATRINA AND THE WAVES: Waves. Capitol EST 2010. An emphatic "no" to this one. Walking On Sunshine showed the Waves with a finely tuned ear for mature pop, but this has no spark, no edge and is awfully pedestrian. It seems that the ingredients still remain (good writers, performers, singers and so forth), but when inspiration was called for the tide was most certainly on the turn.

to make

it big

by Danny Van Emden Gl ORANGE are one of the biggest bands in Japan. Why else would a small army of young girls follow their tour from one end of the country to the other by train, plane and hydrofoil, send their single to number one for eight weeks — toppling the mighty Duran Duran en route — and impress Suzuki enough to hire them to TV advertise cars and Coke to sponsor their latest tour?

So it's even more astonishing that prior to this a camping tour of Brighton plus the usual pub dates were par for the course at home in the UK, and now, on the eve of recording their second album, this most successful of British exports still have no recording deal here.

The big break for the disarming foursome — all tufty blond hi-lights and butrer-wouldn't-melt-in-the- mouth grins — came supporting Bucks Fizz in Japan (a legacy of the British dates is a determined bunch of fans who stolidly support the GI Orange despite a lack of British releases) when they blew the win- some headliners offstage with their own brand of curiously memor- able, shinv pop.

There rollowed tours, a debut album which sold 1 80,000 copies in a market which sees artists of the international standing of Duran Duran just topping 200,000 or so, plus countless radio and TV sessions for shows like the mar- vellously-named Funky Tomato.

All this for a hitherto unheard of band in a country which looks to the West's charts for its idols.

"For a foreign group to break here without chart appearances in the UK or US is really phenomenal," says Sach Tsuchiya at CBS/ Sony in Tokyo. A lot or this can be put down to the boys' zeal and

co-operation — going along with the Japanese way of doing things, says Tsuchiya, and this can mean everything from "handshake tours", allowing "lucky ticket" hol- ders to visit the dressing room after gigs — to shower them with exquisitely-wrapped gifts in return for endless photographs, and of course fixed smiles, patience, and politeness. It's a bit like being a member of the royal family.

Tsuchiya: "I've never seen such a devoted, hardworking band. Everyone here has heard of Gl Orange — even in the most re- mote regions." A pay-off, it seems, of the band's policy of touring the parts other Western bands cannot — or will not — reach.

Originally handled as Idols — the industry term for teeny pop in a market with the aural equivalent of a sweet tooth — the aim is now to broaden the boys' appeal from pretty to punchy, sustaining their appeal and paving the way for the inevitable drive towards the UK.

The change shows live, too. Sure, thousands of squeaky screams still echo behind eacn song and Karl, Gary, Simon and Mark still have to dodge around stage to avoid everything from flowers and fresh fruit missiles, but the music itself is beginning to pack more of the power that will impress at home.

"It's now matunng into the sort of sound we always wanted, one which reflects the natural life and energy of the band," says drummer Gary Holt, while singer/guitarist and songwriter Karl, the eldest of the three Whitworth brothers in the band, refutes any suggestion that the UK is outgrowing the simple pleasures of unadulterated pop "Fans are fans the world over. Maybe it's just the media at home which is more cynical."

Gary: "We'd only worry about being screamed at if our music wasn't good enough to back it up. We're safe in the knowledge that we've got the music to back it up."

As their most ambitious tour draws to a close and Suzuki pre- pares the prestigious TV ads which will broadcast Gl Orange's new single. Take Me To Your Leader, for three months, Karl, Gary, Simon and Mark are heading home to record the album that they hope will spread the sales worldwide. I>

Rumour has it that UK majors are beginning to nibble. If the Japanese are anything to go by, Gl Orange could be a good catch!

a shade

more daring

by John Best SO RECOGNITION at last for 4AD with The Cocteau Twins finally getting their just desserts and striking a major blow against the on-going tnvialisation of pop by crashing Victorialand into the Top 1 0 in its first week of release.

But the best news — and biggest hits — from the country's smartest label are still to come, in the chameleon-like form of Colourbox, with their two singles, Baby I Love You So and The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme, set for May 1 2 release.

Baby I Love You So is a slice of pop-reggae of truly gargantuan proportions, originally to be found on the flip of Augustus Pablo's Is- land dub classic King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown, and now set to get the pleasure centres pump- ing of anyone who's ever been moved by the subterranean force of a rhythm rhymth or the express- ive power of the female human voice.

It's classic Colourbox — probably their best yet — and boasts an arrangement run through with more imagination than most young pretenders muster in an entire career, complemented on the flip by the startling Looks Like We're Shy One Horse and Shoot Out.

All that can prevent it from becoming a classic hit single is the mindless equation that reggae is uncommercial and therefore not worth daytime airplay Colourbox will make you ashamed of your preconceptions.

Such problems are unlikely to beset Baby I Love You So's sister release - and the real chart- topping contender — The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme, a record that already weeks before its release has engaged all who have heard it in the most un- abashed bout of whistling since 1 Was Kaiser Bill's Batman.

It's the kind of unpretentious rousing instrumental that makes you wonder all over again |ust who was it who bought all those Harold Faltermayer singles? And if they can be satisifed with so little, what will it be like when they get hold of this? It's backed on the 12-inch flip by a movingly fine approximation of how Philip Glass might have interpreted the work, wittily entitled Philip Glass & Col- ourbox Official World Cup Theme.

THERE'S A certain pleasing justice in the fact that Depeche Mode began their recording career v/ith a track on Stevo's groundbreaking Some Bizzare compilation back in 1981, because now they've finally realised what he never quite could with Soft Cell in becoming just about the only big league example of his "conform to deform" approach to pop.

While most "serious" music fans write them off as too naive/ derivative/wimpy to warrant their earnest glare, the little girls and boys who thronged to their two nights at Wembley really do understand. Who can write songs obsessed with death, kinky sex, corruption, suicide and changing the parliamentary system, and still hit the Top 20 every time? Exactly.

And it's not just a moral victory either. Right from the opening synth mantra, Dep Mode were a surprisingly exciting live band.

Among the reasons for this were: (a) Dave Gabon's obviously invested a lot of time down the old Pineapple Dance Studio and made small potatoes of the potentially desperately boring three-men- and-their-synths situation, (b) the sound was grippingly superb and the lights and set were as arresting as such things ever can be. (c) They've written some smashing melodies and every time a poten-

tial plateau loomed out'd pop another, (d) The secret forgotten ingredient: they seemed to be en- joying themselves,

Much of the credit for this can, one instinctively feels, be attributed to the boys' on-going indie status. Could they have survived as long or as well under the hothouse hit machine atmosphere of a major? And if not, isn't there a certain irony, a certain moral, there?

JOHN BEST

Still liis world EXPECTATIONS RAN ridiculously high for James Brov/n when he played his London dates last year, and predictably audiences were disappointed. He seemed to have lost the unique power of his voice and the stage antics were absurd. But recently at Wembley, Brown came back with a screamer of a gig that indisputably rescued his reputation.

Opening on Living In America, a hit which seems to have given him a strong injection of confidence, the audience had an im- mediate outlet for its energy and Wembley shrank to the size of a small, intimate party.

There's no doubt that Brov/n is still up to the ballads and yelled his way through Please, Please and Prisoner Of Love without cheating on a single note. Unlike last year, he possessed the willpower to see the numbers through to the last crucial note rather than mumbling his way to an unsatisfactory finish.

by Barry Lazell RECORD SHACK'S whife dance act Seventh Avenue, who keep drawing comparisons with Wham! from the national media, have already established themselves well within the Hi-NRG/Eurobeat field. But now they've arrived in the wider dance and pop conscious- ness, following TV exposure on Yorkshire TV's regional show Calendar and then a national slot on BBCl's Saturday Superstore, in turn leading to music and national press coverage and the aforemen- tioned "double-Wham!" acco- lades.

All of this interest has suddenly revitalised their most recent release Love's Gone Mad (SOHOT 56) precisely when it was thought to have already run its course, having again topped the Hi-NRG/ Eurobeat charts. It shot suddenly from 65 to 31 on /VIVVs Disco/ Dance chart recently, just at a time when the existing pressing was ex- hausted and no more had been planned.

Needless to say, with orders that could not be filled piling up. Re- cord Shack immeaiately reacti- vated the release — not in time to prevent a week of non-availability

briefly halting its dance chart climb, as panel shops ran out of existing stocks, but in time to catch the growing demand into the general pop arena.

The outfit's youthful and clean- cut visual image should help them here — much, in fact, as Wham! capitalised initially on a strong dance sound and an arresting commercial image in tandem.

Despite the presumed gay orientation of their Hi-NRG audience on record to date, Record Shack's Jeff Weston says that Seventh Avenue have been playing in "99 per cent straight clubs" in a hectic travel through February and March "and the young ladies seem to be going potty over them!"

iwirteir

pounders by Paul Sexton POLITICS AND pop have always been rather reluctant neighbours. At least, when they have moved in happily together, they've found that no one else in the street wants to know. So when an eight-piece team of politically-committed musicians managed to crack the code of daytime radio with a song about apartheid, it was a real triumph. Especially as Latin Quarter had long since given up hope on Radio Africa.

"It had been released three times," says guitarist/vocalist Steve Skaith, "then we found out it was

going to be featured on this TV programme, suddenlv the radio started playing it and lo and be- hold it became successful." The song, practically a golden oldie by then, went on to snuggle inside the national Top 20; "We were in Ger- many at the time so we missed out on all the furore. But having a hit wasn't part of the schedule,"

The single was just one of a collection of controversial tracks on the band's Modern Times album (Rockin' Horse/Arista), the title song being the current (and in Skaith's opinion, uncommercial) single.

"The words are the most important thing, says Skaith. "How we act on stage, how we look in photographs, how we dress, it's all drawn from the fact that we're singing about Africa or whatever. It all stems from the words." But do those heartfelt messages ever cut through? "lo some people. It's difficult to say, because people might be clearing up or working and not listening to the lyrics but a propor- tion of the audience takes notice of the lyncs, yes.

"Live Aid has changed it mostly — lots of bands have been able to feed off that and get sustenance from it," Latin Quarter have already written most of the material for their next musical campaign, although the new LP might not appear until the summer. They're just hoping that this year they don't have to release everything four times. O Turn to page 18 for the James Hamilton column

THE DEMANDS of modern marketing, according to Nick Toms, managing director of sleeve printers James Upton, have necessitated an overnight turnround even for the most complicated and

intricate single bag, writes John Tobler. This is nothing new, except that the emphasis has altered from the traditional 7-inch to the in- creasingly popular 12-inch with the continuing growth of extended disco mixes.

But isn't it true that not many singles have picture bags? Toms notes "Virtually all independent labels use picture bags, and many of the majors do the same, because it definitely sells more records — youngsters like to see pictures of the band or special graphics which are used so much these days."

The growth of the 1 2-inch single, in Tom's view, will continue with the advance of the compact disc — "As the CD takes over, there's an increasing amount of spare pressing capacity for 1 2-inch records, and because of that, we've just installed a W&D 12-inch sleeve make-up machine, and a press costing just under £1/2m, which prints four colours and also in- corporates a varnishing unit and a drying facility all in the same piece of machinery. We've had to invest in the latest technology to cope

with demand." At their Birmingham factory,

James Upton produce every sleeve which appears on records released by Virgin and Chrysalis, plus a substantial percentage of the output of EMI, PolyGram, Island, K-tel, Factory, Priority, Statik and a recent arrival, BBC Records, among numerous others. Toms mentions with particular pride the very unusual sleeve for the 1 2-inch Simple Minds single Alive And Kicking, which involved gold foil board with a black overprint, and was produced using an ultra-violet process yet was still turned round at great speed — as a further example or the more sophisticated requirements of today's acts and labels.

Toms mentions a new single to be released by Island during May, Private Life by Grace Jones, for which a different sleeve has been ordered for each different mix.

NICK TOMS: investing to cope with demand. industry. As with traditional record pressing plants, James Upton are having to adapt to the requirements of the burgeoning CD market.

Nick Toms is already considenng a future when CD plovers appear in cars: "It won't be long before that's on the go, and we believe that having to open one of those plastic CD cases while you're driving could be dangerous, so we've started offering a cardboard wallet which will hold CDs, and from which a CD can be removed with one hand.

"Much of the time", says Toms, "speed is important, but we regard quality as equally vital. Bands, labels and audiences are all very 3uality-conscious, so our aim is to

demand

AFTER SIX years in their new home, Gothic Print Finishers are still very much in demand as suppliers of quality sleeves of all shapes and sizes to most major and indie record companies.

Sales have steadily increased each year since 1980, but rates are still competitive — further capital investment has provided a second varnishing macnme and a four-colour Solna printing press.

Due to a contract with a major video company, Gothic's market share in the video wrap field has also expanded to the point v/here this service can now be offered to the market at large.

As always, with an eye to the future, Gothic has invested in research into a new packaging and presentation concept for compact discs — the results will be unveiled this year, and will hopefully provide benefits to all areas of the CD industry. In addition, an associated company, Gothic Reproduction, offers a comprehensive service for commercial work in addition to regular sleeve assignments.

Since the last review of sleeve production, Gothic Print Finishers have undertaken many lengthy runs, one which stand out for many reasons being that for the chart- topping Bana Aid single.

MONIQUE GUNN, managing director of Senol Printing, one of the oldest-established companies in the sleeve production industry, reports dramatic progress for her business during the past 12 months. "We've changed the struc- ture of the company during the last year to provide for the future. We were among the pioneers in mechanical production of record sleeves, and now we've attracted two of the best-known characters in the business to come here. The three of us — and the others are somewhat younger than I am — can claim around 80 years' experience in the industry. We've also extended our premises and installed the most modern machinery, which has resulted in our more than doubling our capacity."

Optimistic words, which Moni- que claims are already resulting in an increase in turnover — however, she can also see potentially stormy waters ahead in the vexed field of CD packaging, which Senol are continually investigating. "Although we're only concerned with printed material, I happen to

be a CD user myself, and I perso- nally don't like the packaging which is used, although I expect we're stuck with it until someone comes up with something better.

I think the v/eakness of CD packaging relates to the size, which seems unnecessarily large, the fact

that the boxes are often difficult to open and that the hinge on the lid is weak. Of course, until recently there was virtually no demand for CD packaging in this country, but now that we're producing CDs here, we must surely progress with regard to the packaging aspects."

GREEN INK, according fo managing direcfor Bruce Gill, are first and foremost a design group servicing the record industry — aner starting to work in the record business in 1 977,. since 1 981 they have worked with music 100 per cent. Although Gill emphasises that design work is the main thread of Green Ink's work, his company's ability to provide a fast turnround, their "reasonable" prices and their understanding of the requirements of both the record industry and print contractors, have resulted in certain spin-off activities being re- quested. These may involve subsidiary services, sucn as design of posters, point-of-sale material and so on relating to records whose sleeves have been designed else- where. "It's sometimes difficult not to offend the original designers of a sleeve" notes Gill, "although that's certainly not what we in- tend."

'Converting' American- originated sleeves to the standards required for this country results in some cases in the need to slightly redesign a sleeve.

A recent example came with the release on CD or the Roxy Music/ Bryan Ferry catalogue — "we had to work with film of the original sleeves without any writing on them, and do fresh typesetting on a brand new colour proof of each sleeve. Both Bryan Ferry and EG (the label involved) wanted to

wesrsisrss HAVING WORKED together at Cucumber Studios doing animation and design, and later worked together on videos, Paul Bitmead and Temple Clarke decided to launch their own company, Under- cover, at Christmas 1984. Temple explains: "We started off working for smaller independent labels, doing sleeves for Illuminated Re- cords, for example, but we always wanted to work on complete campaigns, and since those early days, we've also started working with major labels like London and RCA, where we can do more than just a sleeve. We've done work for Mr Mister, we've recently designed a sweatshirt promoting Starship, and we've done virtually all the design work on a single that's about to be released by Annabella, who used to front Bow Wow Wow.

"In that case, as with some others, we get in freelancers to help us if we can't do any part of the process — for that one, it was a question of getting in a photographer."

Additionally, a design by Under- cover for a classical LP, Mass Of St Sylvester, helped Mario Moscardi- ni of BBC Records to win Top Clas- sical Sleeve Design category in the recent Music Week Awards. Then there's an Undercover-designed poster for the ultimate long- running London theatrical experience, The Mousetrap. "It's the first new poster for The Mousetrap for 17 years," notes Clarke

it c v.

change nothing from the originals, but with CDs, it's often necessary to reorganise sleeve designs quite radically

"I think I can say without boast- ing that we know CDs inside out, because we've been doing them for some time — we were lucky enough to get involved at the time Polydor, in particular, started releasing a lot of their back catalogue on CD, Now most of our work seems to be with new releases, but we've also been involved recently with the five LP boxed set by the Velvet Under- ground, for which we designed all

the additional packaging. At this point, v/e haven't been asked about packaging a CD version of that, but if it nappened, it would have to be something quite special."

On the vexed topic of whether art should be sacrificed for the sake of information, or vice versa, Gill is adamant that the most vital part of the equation is to convey information — "although single bags seem fo have got caught up in 'style', we always have to remember what we're trying to sell, and design the sleeve according- ly."

IN THE Music Week Directory the entry for Technimedia Graphics includes the name of an executive named Tyrone Fruit Bat. When MW visited the company's Cam- den Town offices, Tyrone was too busy to talk, but managing director Nick Garrard filled me in on progress to date.

Garrard |oined Technimedia during the Seventies when it was a 'normal' advertising agency. When the company became virtually dor- mant, Garrard being the sole employee, he took over the name, around 1979. As well as design, Technimedia's enterprises encom- pass group management — among those who have benefited from Garrard's expertise and enthusiasm are the Meteors, the Milk- shakes (who released no less than 10 LPs during a lifespan of less

than three years and are now known as The Mighty Caesars) and the Escalators, who have now changed personnel and musical direction, and are known as the Tall Boys.

Inextricably involved with the independent garage band scene, Garrard has also worked in various capacities with such luminar- ies as the Poques and the Cramps, but his main thrust in design is with LP sleeves (many Ace label LPs are designed by Garrard), advertise- ments and recently with press kits, like the exemplary discography he produced recently for the Cramps. "I worked with them from the minute they arrived at the airport, and the whole thing was finished in four days, although I was supposed to have two weeks to do it. I enjoy working on things like that, not only because of the pleasure of documenting something, but the design work and things like the press kits feed off each other.

"I'm now starting on a programme for the Pogues for a tour that's scheduled for much later this year."

As if all the above didn't take enough time, Garrard is about to launch a new label, Dangerous Disques, with a live EP bv the Tall Boys, dovetailing it with design tor many of the sleeves commissioned by the Ace group of labels. That's when he isn't feeding Tyrone Fruit Bat, a savage Siamese cat who attacked your MW reporter!

diary

IF YOU thought EMI's success as top singles company in the first quarter market share was a long time coming, did you realise that it has been six years since the folk from Manchester Square reached those lofty heights? Publishing arm EMI Music has enjoyed a similar purple patch ... Word is that Our Price's Garry Nesbitt and Mike Isaacs have signed up with W H Smith for a whopping five years... Some Bizarre can't understand CBS's reluctance to get involved with The The's single all about an American jet going missing after strafing an African city... The Chart Show's second week audience edged up to 1.5m ... Congrats to John Peel on being voted the first (and probably for all time the oldest) Sony National DJ Of The Year... Well done also to London marathon men Robert Lemon (R4 Records), Tony Harris (Caroline Exports) and John Duncombe (David Pilton), who between them raised quite a bit for charity... Veteran jazz dealer Doug Dobeil celebrated 40 years of trading this week with an open-house at Kettners in Soho... Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Nick Under- wood of Tritec Management (ex-Chappell Music and Cash- box) who is seriously ill in hospital... Music Therapy benefited from the champagne auctions when insurance broker to the music biz Willie Robertson flew 130 industry veterans to Rheims in France where they were the lunchtime quests of Count Freddie Chandon at the champagne house of Moet & Chandon. Among the pop names present were Paul Young, John Parr, Keith Emerson, Mike Rutherford of Genesis and Tears For Fears' Kurt Smith ...

MUCH COMMENT at UK Music Radio Conference (see p4) about the piece written by Simon Bates for the official programme in which he urged broadcasters to give up "any unhealthy longing to be credible to the minority... in broad terms, we need to maximise our audience, not drive it away by being musically elitist". John Peel described the sentiment as "cultural fascism"... Ray Moore described himself as the "warm-up man" for Radio Two's cultural programme (he precedes Derek Jameson in the schedule)... George Martin, speaking at the opening reception, said "I decided not to grow up, but to become a record producer instead" ... Tim Black- more, who was an excellent conference chairman, drew applause when he said that the time allowed to radio producers for programme building and creativity was becoming less and less... MCA's John "Knocker" Knowles kidnapped from office on his birthday by SAS-type heavies and bundled into van despite his pleas to oe spared so that he wouldn't miss the birthday celebration laid on by his wife for the second year running (he missed last year's because of an attack of tired emotionalism). He was ignored and eventually dumped in a garden which he recognised as his own. Mrs Knocker had arranged the snatch to ensure his presence at the party ...

Summeir-

time Gslyes OBSERVING the flurry — some would say frenzy — of activity in the retail sector represented by take-overs and re-vamps, you would think record retailing truly is the business to be in — a real platinum-plated path to massive profits. Yet, if you look at the true position, we are diving headlong into a summer without the spark of Live Aid, US stars are pulling out of tours for fear of terrorist attack, and also there are no big new acts or fresh musical styles kicking the charts into life. Hardly a rosy prospectus for a wise businessman looking for a sound investment.

Last summer trade hit peaks of six or seven times its normal doldrum levels in some retail outlets when Live Aid fever was at its height. And yet overall 1 985 was by no means a bonanza year. So how will the trade fare this summer if there is no special injection?

The short term ansv/er is that the big players in the retail game will nae out v/hatever problems there might be because market share and market profile are becoming as important in record retailing as they have alv/ays been in record distribution. Nothing v/rong with that as long as there are some profits along the way somewhere, sometime — and without using buying power to squeeze excessive margins from the record companies.

This summer prognosis should not sound too gloomy. The progressive plans of the multiples mean that they are working hard to keep up with fashion and make their stores attractive places in which to buy music. Also, there is talk of Springsteen braving the possible Libyan backlash to headline a charity concert. Now, on top of whatever benefit might go to charity, that sort of injection would be just what the doctor ordered.
