LOVE PRODUCTIONS is proud and pleased to announce a new -*series of classical recordings to be known as THE MUSICAL

HERITAGE SERIES.This series has been conceived in the belief that classical music is no longer

the private preserve of an intellectual elite. Rather, today's generation hasreached a new level of musical sophistication. They are inquisitive, recep-tive and appreciative of all styles and types of music. It is our hope thatthis new series will appeal, and be enjoyed by a much wider audience thanhas been previously associated with classical music.

"Rock of the Renaissance" (SBA 16008) is the first release in the series. Itis a collection of the popular dances of the people in the 16th and 17thcenturies. The music is played by the Academia Montevirdiana StringOrchestra and the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble. And the tracks are inter-

estingly arranged so string pieces alternate with brass pieces.

"Guitar of the Renaissance" (SBA 16011) is the second in the series.Again featuring compositions from the 16th and 17th centuries. This

recording is brilliantly performed by classical guitarist Rodrigo Riera. Theperfection and precision of the performance will be truly treasured byguitar aficionados.

The morning sessionintroduced new, super and heavy groups:Mott The Hoople, Danny Epps, Silverbird,Neil Goldberg; new sounds from establishedheavies like Simon and Garfunkel, Chicago,Poco, and Redbone; and the big soundsfrom easy listening giants, Johnny Mathis,Percy Faith and Barbara Streisand.

The Canadian presentation was an eyeopener and easily quashed the oft -repeateddowner that the majors weren't doing any-thing but collecting big bucks on theirforeign artists. Put together by Columbia'sA&R Director, John Williams, the videocassette showing, tagged "The CanadianMusic People", revealed a lineup of Canadianrecorded talent, second to none.

MUSIC WORLD OPENSIN JACKSON SQUARE

Music World, now boasting seven largeand modern complete music service retailoutlets, bowed their latest at a gala recep-tion in Hamilton's Jackson Square (23). TheSquare is a multi -million dollar investmentby the City of Hamilton which has longbeen attempting to rid itself of the "lunchbucket town" tag. Situated in the core ofthe city, the modern mall is being con-structed in several stages. The first sees thefinishing touches on forty stores with themall connecting with the Eaton's store.The second stage will see the openingof another forty stores and a third stagewill involve another major departmentstore.

Music World's 2000 square foot store offersa complete line of necessaries for the musicbusiness, trade and consumer. This includesrecords, tapes, sheet music, music publica-tions, accessories and musical instrumentsand is regarded as the largest most com-plete retail outlet of its kind in Canada.Store manager is Mrs. Higgins.

Kris Pindoff, whose Pindoff Record Salesfirm, services the Music World chain, reportsa $60,000 initial stocking of the store. Heestimates the first year of sales as between$300,000 and $400,000 with an intendedgoal of half a million dollars by the secondyear.

Pindoff, now servicing many of the majordepartment stores in Ontario and Quebec,recently completed negotiations wherebythey will be supplying records and tapes toEaton's new Horizon Stores. It's expectedthere will be thirty such stores across Ontariowithin a short time.

COCKBURN SELLS OUTFIRST TOUR DATESTrue North's Bruce Cockburn has sold outthe first three dates of his cross countrytour. All three concerts were in theMaritimes: Saint John, New Brunswick,Charlottetown and Halifax. The excellentreception was all the more surprising sincemany radio people ignored the Cockburnappearances, according to Bernie Finkel-stein, head of True North. While in theAtlantic provinces, Cockburn played animpromptu concert for emotionally dis-turbed youngsters at a farm since they wereunable to attent the regular performance.

(He answeredpromptly but that letter and severalhundred others from various companies andindividuals throughout the last eight yearswriting regarding the Stampeders, have beenlost to time.) For those who don't knowhow things happen in the music world, mayI say that for various reasons, MONEY, EQUIP-MENT, RECORDINGS, DISTANCE, etc, andthe "getting it together" - not much hap-pened or should have, most of the lettersare listed in my goldmine of contacts.

Should the time be right for three individualsnamed Ronnie King, Kim Berly and RichDodson, known collectively as Stampeders,to emerge on the international scene, or forthat matter any other Canadian artists itwill be because they ARE READY, havepaid their dues (over -worked cliche), havewhat it takes, and can be accepted fortheir talents wherever their ambitions carrythem. It will not be, AND SHOULD NOTBE, because they are pampered, subsidized,carried, or financed by anyone, includingthe Government. The sole responsibilityshould be on the record company andbookers, publishers, or managers endeavour-ing to promote their career. The mere ideathat the artists and companies in Canada

can't "get it together" internationally ontheir own is not only appalling, but isinviting disaster.

At this crucial time in the very young lifeof Canada's music business, we should stop

looking for excuses, handouts, scapegoats,and alibis why we haven't got it made. Wehaven't got it made because we are in abusiness where NO ONE HAS IT MADE!For some, the time is now; for others, itshould be a time to work. It can happen ifyou believe and apply your abilities. Forthe doubters, may I say "To the jaundicedeye, all things look yellow."

'Chiken Licken' went around confusingeveryone saying, "The sky is falling, thesky is falling." If that is continued to bebelieved, the sky will truly fall around us.TODAY must be the first day of a new,positive era.

CAPT'N MIDNITE TOABRAHAM'S CHILDRENAvenue Of America's Capt'n Midnite'sDirty Feet have undergone a name changeand will now be known as Abraham'sChildren. Along with the new name comes asingle release, "Goodbye Farewell" pennedby Jimmie Bertucci (Black & White MusicalFriends -CA PAC).

The Capt'n Midnite release, "Hot Love"also on GAS, was the group's first releaseand gained a fair amount of chart actionacross the country. This Paul Gross (Wish-bone) composition is now the flip of theirnew release. The session was produced byAlan Caddy of Telstar fame at RCA'sToronto Studios.

Children's manager, Jack Morrow, hasmoved into high gear with this new releaseand has picked up chart numbers and hitbounds within a few days of releaseincluding a hit bound at CKOC Hamilton.The single is to be released on the Buddahlabel in the U.S. Negotiations for thisrelease were firmed by Buddah's Jim Bogartand Gary Salter of the Avenue of Americagroup.

The I LETTERSProgrammers to the editor

HOW ABOUT A WHO'S WHO?

With reference to your article on CanadianContent (RPM 2/9/72), it was great. Nodoubt it prompted inquiries concerningwho's who in Canada qualifying as Cana-dian Content for programmers.

We all know there are hundreds of Canadianperformers and writers; however, there arejust as many program and music directorswho haven't heard of half of them.

For the ease and peace of mind of pro-grammers, why doesn't RPM print weekly alist of the artists for the use of all ....Once and for all a researched authoritativelist with the blessing of the CRTC.

I understand one is in the making. However,it won't be available until the beginning of

1973. September to December is a longtime when it comes to 30% for some of us.Even if RPM printed 100 names of qualify-ing Canadian artists and/or writers eachweek until the master list is available, weneed not wait.

I am sure many programmers would beamwith delight at having such a list. We allwant the sound of our stations to be thebest, so if RPM would come to the rescueimmediately in some form (preferably alist, weekly) programmers would beeternally grateful.

It'll up our Canadian Content!

CANADIAN COUNTRY IS BIGJust a short note to thank you for thespecial "Country" edition of RPM onAugust 26. Each article had something in-

teresting to say about the country musicscene in Canada. Being 70 or so miles awayfrom Toronto, one tends to lose touch withwhat is happening, especially ideologically,and many of the articles filled this gap.

I hope that this will just be the beginning ofa whole group of articles dealing with Coun-try Music, particularly ones that help keepus folks in the sticks informed

Canada's uniquemusic problems

September 9th, the Hotel Bonaventure inMontreal will be the scene of the fourthof RPM's Communications series. C4 willtake us into Quebec and, for the first time,we will have an opportunity to discuss anyand, hopefully, all the problems of theFrench/Anglo Canadian programmers.

bi-cultural, both languages are necessary inthe Frenth-Canadian sectors of Canada.Those out -of -country delegates attendingC4 will find many aspects of Canadianmusic, radio and programming, unique -and C4 will make them quite obvious.

The format of C4 will differ very little fromprevious meets. Members of the panel willintroduce themselves and make clear theareas of music, records, or radio in whichthey are involved. The floor will then beopened for discussion.

Moderating C4 will be Donald Tarlton whoheads up Donald K. Donald Productions,one of the most successful promoters ofmusic shows, rock and others, in Montreal.The panel will be comprised of John Mackey(CFGM), Allan Slaight (CFOX/CFGM),Ken Middleton (WEA of Canada, Ltd.)Jacques Dufresne (Radio Mutuel-CJ MS),Paul Ski (CFRA), Ritchie Yorke (PopColumnist), Paul Emile Baulne (CKAC),

HOPI CONCLUDES DEALWITH VANGUARDToronto's Hopi Records has concluded adistribution deal with Vanguard Recordsfor the American company to distributeHopi product in the United States. Hopiwill negotiate its own licensing and tapeagreements in other countries. In Canada,London Records has been named distributorof the new label.

In addition to drawing on its own artistsand producers, Hopi will be formulatingthird party production deals. Productupcoming includes albums by Ambrose andArtie Kaplan and singles by Lana Cantrell,Leigh Ashford, Motherlode, Godfrey andRoger Bruno.

WEA PROMO MEETTIE -IN WITH C4The weekend of September 9-10 will havespecial significance for the promotionalstaff of WEA Music of Canada, Ltd. Theweekend is the occasion of the fourth inthe series of Communications meets andWEA will take advantage of the situationto stage its first ever meeting for promotionalrepresentatives from across the country. SaidWEA's national promotion manager, TomWilliams, "In planning the promotionmeeting to coincide with RPM's C4meeting, it was thought that the regionalpromotion men would be able to gainvaluable insight on the overall Canadianmarket, rather than just knowing whattheir own regional market was all about.

The WEA promotion people will arrivein Montreal on the Thursday precedingC4 in order to attend company meetingson Friday, then take part in the Communi-cation activities on Saturday and Sunday.

Gordon Sinclair Jr. (CFOX), Reiner Shwartz(CHOM), Bud Farquarson (Pindoff RecordSales), John Williams (A&R DirectorColumbia Records of Canada), GermainCadieux (CRTC), Walt Grealis (RPM), JimKidd (CFCF) and Lorne Safer (Signpost).

A cocktail party for the registrants of C4will be hosted by RPM that sameevening which will allow for a rareopportunity of those attending to infor-mally discuss topics that occurred duringthe day's meet. RPM's official participationwill end at midnight but since many recordcompanies have booked rooms at the hotel,it's expected the festivities will go on wellinto the morning.

Sunday September 10 has been set aside forrecord companies to present their FallProduct either in their own hospitalityrooms or in the LaSalle Room. Recordingartists will also be introduced to dealers,programmers etc during the day.

Record companies taking part in theSunday events include: GRT, Capitol, RCA,Columbia, WEA, London, Avenue of TheAmericas, Ampex, A&M, MCA, Quality,United Artists and others includingindependent record producers and represent-atives from BMI Canada Ltd. and CAPAC.

At press time, C4 is sold out, indicatingwhat could be an exceptional and veryimportant meeting of minds and a furtherbridging of the gap between programmer andmusic man.

Above all, the topic of C4 will be communi-cations within the industry. However, forthis meet, we would like those in attend-ance to concentrate on the problems ofCanada's industry - which is unique to us inthis country. Our problems are so unique,it becomes more and more apparent thatthose, not directly involved in our in-dustry, would be unable to comprehend norappreciate these problems. See you at C4.

BREAKING &STIFFING

BMI Canada opens new horizonsBY WALT GREALIS

To commemorate their 25th anniversary,BMI Canada Limited set out to create acloser communication with their pub-lishers and songwriters with a series ofworkshop sessions. BMI expects that byyear's end they will have covered allprincipal markets from coast to coastwith sessions in both English and French.

Purpose of the meets were twofold. Tointroduce head office staff and to answer

many questions possible, legal andotherwise, on copyright law and the extentof BMI's involvement on behalf of itsmembers. Panel members included BettyLayton of the Toronto office; Lynn Reusch,Vancouver; David French, a young Ottawalawyer considered an expert on copyrightlaw; and Walt Grealis, publisher of RPM.Chairing the sessions was S. D. (Whitey)Hains of the Toronto office of BMI. Also onhand to assist in the video cassette pre-sentation was Charlie Gaul of the Torontooffice.

In many respects, BMI Canada opened newhorizons in the songwriting field. Theirmembers travelled hundreds of miles toattend the sessions at Prince George and

MIKE GRAHAM AND GRTTIE RECORDING KNOTRoss Reynolds, president of GRT Canada,has announced the signing of Mike Grahamto the label. Graham has long been one ofthe country's top entertainers, beginninghis recording career with "No Pity for aFool", a Gary Buck tune, in 1969. Thedisc reached the number one spot on theRPM Country 50 and retained the positionfor three weeks. The resulting televisionexposure ("Nashville North", "TommyHunter Show", "Countrytime") led toGraham's establishment as a fixture ofCanadian country music.

Graham has performed in concert withsuch country luminaries as Bobby Bare, DelReeves, Bob Luman and Mel Tillis. Hiscompositions are published by his ownDebcar Music. Graham's first GRT albumwill be debuted on the Tommy Hunter CBCTVer in mid -November.

Victoria B.C., Edmonton, and Calgary,Regina and Winnipeg. There were small andlarge crowds with all displaying an almostunbelievable enthusiasm. Inquiries like:"How to reach artists who can and do sing.""What's the trend in Canadian music and theplace of the country songwriter in Canada.""How to get in touch with publishers." "Howto find a collaborator." "Copyright, pro-cedures for channeling one's works.""Protective rights of records." "How newwriters can get their works recorded." "Howa writer can gain access to users of musicmore easily and problems of starting apublishing company."

Dick Damron, Western Canada's most suc-cessful writer/performer was so enthusedwith the Edmonton meeting he drove toCalgary for that meeting where he generatedstrong vibes through floor talk with CFAC'sLarry Kunkel and fellow performer/writers like Billy Stoltz and Len Roemer.There were emotional moments as well.Edna Fidyk of Pleasantdale, Saskatchewanwas so firm in her belief that she, indeed,could write and record a hit that she hadseveral hundred singles custom pressed andwas successful in receiving local airplay aswell as influencing local juke box operators.In fact she was able to make her costs backon her venture. Frances Meckler, who ownsand runs a farm comprising severalsections in Estevan, Saskatchewan, tooktime out from her busy harvest season soas to become more familiar with her perform-ing rights organization. Wally Smith, ofMoose Jaw who has made a lifelong studyof the North American Indian and theirsuffering at the hands of the white man,will shortly capture their plight and gloryin a composition about the beautiful hillsof Qu'Appelle.

The Winnipeg session saw a full house ofmany well known Canadian radio,television and recording artists includingDeanna Waters of CBC-TV's "Hymn Sing";Jim Kale, former member of the Guess Who,Chad Allen, who founded the Guess Whoand is now a successful television star; BobBurns, the Guess Who's first producer andthe one who propelled them into inter-national stardom and who is a populartelevision personality through his CJ AYshows; a bright new Canadian recording

artist/writer, Robbie McDougall. Also inattendance were new writers like GlenMcCabe who wanted to know how a writercould gain access to users of music moreeasily and problems of starting a publishingcompany; established writers like NormLampe. There were writers associated withBMI for several years who hadn't brokenthrough but were still hoping to make that"one" contact - Lorne Brady, who drovein from Dryden where he owns andoperates a record and music store, and who,after many years, is very close to gaining afoothold as a Canadian songwriter.

There were many examples of frustrationand success which armed the BMI peoplewith a new understanding of the needsand desires of their members. It was obviousthere was a need for a much closer com-munication with its members where theycould learn of and assist new recordingartists like Paul Bell - bring home theproblems facing BMI's Jack Buckley whotravels thousands of miles ensuring that cluband tavern owners etc. keep within the lawof licensing.

It was obvious that on the completion ofthe first leg of the workshop sessions thatBMI Canada had strengthened their mem-bership.

CRUD vs CMOR and the nose -countThe other week I received one of those"fact sheets" in the mail, purporting tobe a breakdown of the BBM results forJuly of this year. The first page of thereport carried an upper case headlineproclaiming the station which printed thereport to be a gigantic winner in the survey.That's great I thought, radio is on theupswing. Then I read through the five orsix paragraphs beneath the headline. Itseems that CRUD, the station in question,had such a strong rating they becamethe biggest station in the market, secondonly to the local MOR giant. CMOR mean-while, although still holding the lead,"remained constant". The other stationsin the market were dismissed with suchlines as "their audience increased by only22,000" etc.

Fool that I am, I took it all at face value.Obviously CRUD had made giganticgains. CMOR could do nothing more thanrun fast to stay in one place. And thecompetition was making only piddlingadvances. The competition were also warringamong themselves: so and so "undoubtedlywon some of the audience lost by" so andso' this guy "no doubt gained from" thatguy. It created a very good impression,there was CRUD, solidly out front withthe contemporary listeners, maintainingand steadily building its devoted audience,the competition meanwhile were fruitlesslywarring among themselves, slinking awaywith portions of each other's audience in

the middle of the night. Obviously CRUDhad the strong, loyal, dependable following.The advertiser's dream.

CRUD had thoughtfully provided theactual BBMfigures for the market in itslittle package and being interested in thegoings on in the market I anxiously flippedpage after page packed with figures. Afterthe second or third page my number crazedbrain enjoyed the instant twinkling of athought, an idea had germinated within!

Hark, I cried aloud, these wretches havemislead me. Actual examination discloses

.1 .` V JOHN WATTS

that CRUD in fact dropped almost thirtythousand of the faithful total weeklycirculation in the period from the BBM'sMarch examination to the one whichoccurred in July, while CMOR gainedforty thousand and virtually all thecompetition increased their ratings. In totalcirculation of adults 18-49 CRUD againdropped a whopping fifty thousand listenerswhile CMOR picked up thirty thousand andthe rest of the competition did likewise.

I well realize that any agency boys readingthis will have become shocking purple withindignation at this point. The basis ofadvertising and marketing being totalfrankness and honesty at all costs, thissense of outrage is justifiable. But let usnot set up CRUD as the whipping boy, letus instead temper our anger with reason.Each of CRUD's competing stations isguilty of the same crime. Virtually everystation in every market manipulates,interprets dishonestly and re -constructsfrom the ground up, its audience ratings.

The people in the advertising agencies are,of course, aware of the existence of theBBM ratings co-ordinator and reviser ineach station, and they allow for the dis-honest representations when they arebuying time. Given that, what is the purposeof these little bundles which arrive withtiring regularity each time the BBM does abit of sampling? It's the old game of they.know we know they know etc. yet itcontinues unabated.

The other thing that puzzles me is the

POLYDOR SCHEDULES BLINDFAITH ALBUM RE-RELEASEPolydor has re -issued the "Blind Faith"album, featuring Eric Clapton, SteveWinwood, Ginger Baker and Rick Grech.The album, which won an RPM Gold LeafAward the first time out, was re-releaseddue to an upsurge of interest in Claptonwho is riding the charts with more currentmaterial in the form of "Layla", "Historyof Eric Clapton", "Live Cream Volume II"and "Concert for Bangla Desh". Uponrelease of the "Blind Faith" album, eachof the group's members went their separateways.

amount of faith put in the ratings by boththe broadcast community and the adver-tisers. A recent study in the United Statesclaims that in a given week ninety sevenper cent of the entire population of thecountry listened to radio for something inexcess of thirty hours or so a week. Thestudy was conducted with a sample groupof three thousand people. I simply cannotbelieve that virtually everyone in a countryof two hundred million people listens toradio that frequently or for that lengthof time. Further, it is beyond my com-prehension that a sampling of three thousandpeople can be accurate for two hundredmillion.

I'm not completely familiar with theinnermost workings of the BBM but I wouldventure to suggest that any such samplingis subject to inaccuracy due to a number offactors. Firstly, only those who arepretty avid radio hounds would bother tocomplete with any accuracy a log orquestionaire. Secondly, I would imaginethat in, say Toronto, only a few thousandresponses would be received, if that many,and that this is much too small a sampling tobe extended to two and a half millionpeople. Thirdly, people might not like toadmit listening to a station or programwhich they like, but which they think wouldappear either ridiculous or pompous toother people.

Never in my life have I received so muchas a postcard from the BBM, neither hasany relative or acquaintance of mine. Per-haps I live a sheltered life. I have onlytwice heard of anyone else receiving a BBMparcel in the mail and in both cases itwound up in the hands of a friendly, ifdishonest, radio station.

No, I'm not sure that I can suggest a viablealternative to the BBM. Advertisers feelit is important to have this kind of ratingservice, broadcasters of course have to goalong with it in order to get advertisingbucks. But you have to admit, it's a bit ofa merry-go-round. The sales department ofevery station takes a probably innaccurateratings figure, misinterprets it grossly andpresents it to the time buyers who divideeverything by four.

I may well go ahead with an idea I hadseveral years ago to create a new audiencesampling organization, Roulette RatingReports. Each participating station wouldpay a thousand dollars to have their chanceon the wheel which would be dividedinto numerous categories such as males18-49, eunuchs 50-99, harried housewives13-19 and so on. The wheel would bedivided into increments of ten thousand fromzero to two million. Each program directorwould cast the ball for his station and ifhe came up with a bad rating he would ofcourse be fired, or alternatively would betold to tighten up before November, or else.Successful program directors would,naturally, be in great demand, and couldname their own price and conditions. Itwould be a healthy system.

LETTERSto the editor

PBN READY FOR CANADAI read your comment in the August 12 issueof RPM concerning the Canadian MusicScene. You are probably not aware thatthe PBN Survey is a new and growingInternational Tipsheet and we are tryingto cover and plug Canadian Contentsingles and albums and it is a tough fightto get them the action that they merit. Onething that I've noted over the past year isthat the MLS is very slow on voting oracting on some records and many stationsprimarily the major market ones are ultraselective in what is being played. CHUMand CKLW as well as CKGM are the powerstations and CKLG can be considered inthat class and if they would get behindsay the current Pagliaro "Some Sing, SomeDance" this record could be an Inter-national hit. CKLW alone with charting andthe buying of major racks in the Detroitarea, could break any Canadian record,but this situation doesn't occur that often.

I'm enclosing a copy of my current sheetand would like you to note that we do notintend to charge radio for our sheet as longas they provide me with charts and infor-mation and it has been a tough battleto get them to cooperate. Any help fromyou would be appreciated and I personallywent out of my way to find RPM. I was told

such a publication existed and it tookmonths for me to get a copy and sinceI've become a subscriber I've found thatRPM is much more helpful than Billboardor Record World in many ways, in termsof Canadian coverage it is the finest andcan't be topped.

AND THEN THEREWERE THREEWhen it comes to negotiating with foreigncountries to introduce the possibility ofsuccess on an international scale, may I statethat there has been some rather lengthycorrespondence going on between myseltand several companies around the worlddating back to May of 1964. I am a firmbeliever in the international market andhave been building a strong foundation tosucceed for quite some time. However, itmust be made clear that before anyone canattempt to venture forth on to the interna-tional scene, they had better be UNIQUE...PROFESSIONAL ... COMPETENT ... and... ABLE TO RELY SOLEY ON THEIROWN ABILITY AND INDIVIDUALITY.

To succeed in the commercial music businessworld of today, you must have a great dealgoing for you and it must be on a patient,step by step basis. Each area is unique andwith its unique nature must come its unique

problems. In Canada, we are just nowemerging as a land with as much, or as little,professional calibre talent as any other nation(according to its population, the 30% con-tent ruling in Broadcasting gave artists aplatform for expression that did not existbefore). As a country and internationally, itgave Canada's best artists world-widerecognition. With all due respect to the 30%Canadian content ruling in broadcastingand its supposed birth of tile business. mayit be stated for those who deem it necessaryto forget that many hard working, talentedindividuals have laboured for decades inthis country. If anything, RPM is the daddyof the current pop music upsurge, the CRTCruling is merely the midwife that slappedair into the baby. In fact, going back awhile,in the 1967 RPM popularity poll forCanadian rock groups, it showed the GuessWho, Five Man Electrical Band andStampeders listed as the top three. A fullFIVE years later show the same namesappearing on a regular and well thought ofbasis in today's broadcasting stations andrecord sales charts. There are many newnames as well, and this shows the growthand abilities of today's artists. However, italso proves that if you've got it, you've gotit, and if you don't, you don't. It is interest-ing to note that the same three groups listedin the RPM poll of 1967 also appeared inthe Cash Box top 50 Single Artists for thepast 12 months, (Published July 1st, 1972.)

TheProgrammers

A WEEKLY FEATURE IN RPM

DESIGNED FOR CANADIAN oc"

Canadian radio's credibility in questionWe've come a long way from our importanceas an exporter of beaver pelts and beads un-til now our "Tom Tom" music has becomethe subject of controversy in some parts ofthe world. It's a long and complicated story(or is it a theory) but, the focus is now onthe credibility of a few Canadian program-mers, who may or may not be the vehiclefor their own undoing.

The 30% Canadian content ruling came intoeffect on January 18, 1971. Many of usremember it well. There were a few program-mers who violently objected the govern-ment's decision to legislate Canadian con-tent on Canadian radio. Unfortunately, oneof the prime vehicles for their objectionswas one particular tip sheet in the U.S.,purporting to be on the side of the Canadianbroadcaster, but one who was not familiarwith the reasons for, nor the workings of,a foreign government. He was however, justlaying the groundwork to influence U.S.broadcasters in a field well serviced by tipsheets - and, after all, is it really possible toperfect a new mousetrap? Anyway, the roadto success is, naturally, siding with thosehaving the most bucks and the means ofcreating a strong vocal barrage. The Cana-dian programmers needed a vehicle to voicetheir gripes and, outside the CAB, reallyweren't afforded such a powerhouse inCanada. So, they took what was availablefrom outside the country. Unfortunately,the printed words were foreign, not Cana-dian, but they did express the feelings ofthe Canadian radio community.

Some Canadian programmers referred toCanadian music as "garbage" and the rulingas "censorship" - both descriptions beingconstantly repeated in print and well cir-culated throughout the U.S. It was inferredthat the Canadian content ruling woulddamage programming, which became part ofthe rhetoric. There were cries of "unfair".That too was sent out for the American in-dustry to read - and, in many cases, believe.It is very difficult not to believe that whichis in print. It's a foregone conclusion thatwe believe everything we see in print, hearon the radio or view on the TV.

Had it ever been suggested that Canadianprogrammers believed the introduction ofthe Canadian content ruling to be anti-American? Perhaps they didn't have to - butthat also figured prominently in the samesheet (note my ability at spelling).

Perhaps the programmers got more thanthey had bargained for. They did have apowerful vehicle for their complaints - all

of them, plus one they might not havewanted. The by-product of the animositywas something short of an internationalincident. Unfortunately, the credibility ofthe Canadian playlist came under fire. Theruling was hyped as a "baddie" and the"forced" airplay was so heavily publicizedthat the major stations in Canada are nowapparently being looked at with some ap-prehension by foreign programmers andtipsters who, had previously regarded the

watt

grealis)pTrohge

rrnmers CROSSTALK

leaders in Canadian programmers as havingmuch credibility. After all, who can trust aplaylist that has to work around the "govern-ment forced play of music"? A few of thebig boys (separated from the men) have ex-perienced one helluva stunning blow to theiregos - and that ain't all!

CKXL BACKS CALGARY'S"BUGDESK" YOUTH GIGCalgary's CKXL is the prime supporter ofBugdesk, a twenty-four hour crisis andreferral centre for travelling youth.Bugdesk is the focal point of Calgary'scomprehensive service system for transientyoung people. In addition to promoting theavailability of Bugdesk on the air, CKXL hasgone to the extent of purchasing billboardsetc. so as to publicize the service.

THERE IS "PAYOLA"IN U.S. RADIO - FCCAccording to reports, there has been sub"-stantial preliminary evidence of payola/plug-ola to U.S. broadcasters." Apparently thesefindings arose from closed hearings in fourU.S. cities and were revealed by a FederalCommunications Commission official

According to Federal law, programmers(on -air personalities) are prohibited fromplugging certain records or supplying freementions of products for which they ob-viously were being slipped favours (cash,airline tickets, broadlooming of theirapartments, stereo sets, the use of an auto,booze, chicks etc.) The only category thathas changed is the use of the world chick.They used to be known as broads. However,it depends on how old you are. Broads orchicks still supply a nice form of off -airrelaxation.

There are those foreign record companiescomplaining to Canadian record companies,artists and radio programmers that Canada isproducing "garbage", and if a record doeshappen to do well, it's because it has to beplayed. If however, you read RPM carefully,you will notice that programmers are NOTplaying that which is "forced". They are, infact, being overly selective.

Unfortunately, this fact is being ignored inthe U.S. Perhaps it's convenient for theU.S. trade to be told that Canada's musicis "forced", and that Canada is hellbent ontaking over the music world. Those whowould believe this, and we are led to believethere are many who will accept almost any-thing. So, when we talk about credibility, wehave to look at the words written about ourcountry by those, not completely familiarwith our problems, and then look at theother information supplied - and make adecision as to the credibility of the entiresheet - and anyone who might seriously lookat Canada as a "threat to the U.S. musicindustry."

Let's call a spade a spade. There is only onedocument, pertaining to Canadian broad-casters, that has credibility and that is theCanadian Broadcast Act and the fact thatour government was elected by the peopleto look after the interests of its citizens. Welike to think that this is what we are doingin Canada and, if our government is anti-American with its legislation, then theCanadian people are to blame for allowing aCanadian Broadcast Act. No doubt the U.S.Act dealing with the same situation (thenationalism of broadcasting) is as protectiveof American culture as is our Broadcast Act,but it probably makes more sense to anAmerican. That is as it should be.

Deutsche Grammophon continue their superb series of record-ings by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, this time under thedirection of Claudio Abbado. As this year is the centenary ofAlexander Scriabin's birth, the inclusion of the Poem of Ecstasywill be of great interest to those who are re -discovering themusic of this much neglected composer.

CHARLES IVES - Symphony No. 2Bernard Herrmann conducting the London SymphonyOrchestraLondon SPC21086-Q

Bernard Herrmann was, for many years, a close personal friendof the composer. The London Symphony Orchestra respondswell to his knowing direction. The final movement is great funand is full of quotations from popular songs of the day includ-ing "De Camptown Races", "Old Black Joe" and "America TheBeautiful". London's Phase 4 Sound sorts all of this outbeautifully.

This set was available for many years on Capitol's SG seriesand it is well worth re -issuing because of the impressive listof soloists which includes Barry Tuckwell, Janet Craxton,Archie Camden and Elaine Shaffter. George Malcolm is superbin the lengthy Harpsichord solo in the fifth concerto. Bachleft his third concerto as a two movement work and this seemsto worry everyone.

Symphony No.83 gets its title from the second theme in the first movementwhich suggests the clucking of a hen, while the Andante move-ment of Symphony No. 101 has a tick-tock accompaniment.The virtuosity of the Berlin Philharmonic is breathtaking andtheir distinctive sound has been vividly captured by Angelengineers.

COVER STORY

DICK NOLAN BRINGS DISCFAME TO NEWFOUNDLANDDid you hear about the Newfie firingsquad? They form a circle. That's the badnews to any red blooded Newfoundlanderwho resents the rest of Canada taking pot-shots at them. The good news is that outof the Newfie jokes has come a wider under-standing of the citizens of this large Islandprovince and in fact they could be settinga new trend which involves poking fun atthemselves. Dick Nolan's "Aunt Martha'sSheep" could be the vehicle to kick offthis whole new unique Canadian approachto recording.

To recap: the complete Colonial Broadcast-ing System; VOCM St. John's, CKCM GrandFalls, CHCM Mary's Town and CKGA Gan-der, following the lead of their flagship,VOCM, aired the "Sheep" cut from Nolan'sRCA Camden album, "Fisherman's Bay".Initial reaction created a chain of events.Firstly, the switchboards were deluged withcalls resulting in Bernie McKinley, SalesManager for Crawford Record Sales, St.John, working feverishly to look afteran out -of -control back ordering situation.The recently bowed MacNeill's RecordService also experienced a heavy orderingspree. After all, forty thousand of analbum in forty days is as unique as DickNolan's material. Noted one observer:"Perhaps we've been barking up the wrongtree in supplying recordings that mirrorthe established giants like the U.S. andthe UK. With phenomenal happenings likeDick Nolan and Harry Hibbs perhaps weshould concentrate on being uniquelyCanadian. Even if we don't crack the worldmarket we could sell a hell of a lot ofrecords in Canada and with a successfuldomestic scene - the world could eventuallybe our oyster."

Well, oyster or not, Nolan has created afirst for Canada. "Aunt Martha's Sheep"brought enough attention to his budget

PINKY/DAVIS/JONESHIGH ON UA PR LISTPinky, who recently released "Don't SendSomeone", has received news that hisinitial single release for the label, "Tell MeWho" has been scheduled for release in theUK at the end of August. U.A.'s nationalpromotion manager Allan Matthews andhis Ontario promo rep, Gordie Morrison,are leaning on a heavy campaign to breakPinky's current release across Canada.

Blue Note jazz artist Elvin Jones completeda week long engagement at Toronto'sColonial which saw him pull capacityhouses each night. Although endeared bythe jazz buffs, Jones is equally at homewith MOT material and is regarded as oneof the "Most dynamic drummers on thescene today." His Toronto appearance wasan excellent promotion vehicle for hislatest album release, "Merry -Go -Round".

David Wiffin is finally getting it together inthe studios with Brian Ahern. The EasternSound session will deliver an album andsingle in time for the label's Fall Plan.

album that he has been able to certify foran RPM Gold Leaf Award within weeksof its release and he did it all from salesin the province of Newfoundland only.

VOCM's programme director, JohnnyMurphy, has advised that, through theColonial Broadcasting System, a Newfound-land Gold Record Night will be held at St.John's Arts & Culture Centre Oct. 22.Featured will be all Newfoundland talentincluding Dick Nolan his daughter BonnieLou, Joan Morrissey (Marathon Records)and hopefully Ryan's Fancy (AudatRecords) and Gold Leaf Award winnerHarry Hibbs (Arc Records). The RPM GoldLeaf Award will be presented to Nolan byNewfoundland's Premier Mr. Frank Moores.Also present will be the Lieutenant Governorof Newfoundland as well as RCA executivesand Federal Government representatives.

It's hoped there will be provincial govern-ment presentations of plaques to thoseartists performing, honouring them asGoodwill Ambassadors for the Provinceof Newfoundland.

ANNE MURRAY WOOSTORONTO CRITICSLast week, Anne Murray gave proof positivethat a native talent can fill the Grandstandof the Toronto Fair and give the crowd theirdue. Toronto's usually cool critics waxedecstatic for Miss Murray's performance tomore than fourteen thousand in the Grand-stand.

Said Ian MacDougall of the Toronto Star,"Anne Murray could do no wrong in theeyes of her audience... last night was atriumphant return to her adopted home-town ... and she exuded the quiet con-fidence of a star who is used to being astar." The Sun's George Anthony said, "Itwas a personal triumph over the immensestadium and its liabilities (and) ... proofpositive that a Canadian star can set theGrandstand on fire ... as long as she's asuperstar."

THUNDER STEPS UP LABELAND COMMERCIAL DATESThunder Sound Studios seem to be prettywell occupied with label work in additionto the usual burden of jingles and commer-cials. Major acts using Thunder's facilitiesinclude Lighthouse and ChristopherKearney. Dennis Murphy, who producesKearney is also into Thunder with Jason, therock harmony showband, who justrecently wound up taping their debutalbum.

On the jazz scene, Sackville Records havejust completed two albums, one with JayMcShann, entitled "Man from Muskogee"and one with Claude Hopkins. Old timegreat Duke Ellington used Thunder recentlyto lay down band tracks.

A new Toronto -based group, Horn,originally from Montreal, have just com-pleted an album with engineer BrockFricker. Negotiation for rights to the albumsare currently underway with several majorlabels. Capitol's Edward Bear are puttingthe finishing touches on their newest albumwith Eugene Martynec producing.

GERONIMO'S CADILLACMichael MurpheyA&M SP4358-W

The titler, on side one, is thewell-known hit but we findMurphey's countrified under-statement more pleasing onside two with such goodies as"Crack Up In Las Cruces" and"Boy From The Country".Murphey is definitely a talentto watch.

GOD SAVE THE QUEENSSandy BaronA&M SP4355-W

There's a lot to be said forthe Gay Liberation Front.Who would have thought analbum like this would be soldover the counter. It will prob-ably be the prize collection ofmany frustrated closet queenswhich should make the cashregisters jingle. Nice comedybit.

SLADE ALIVEPolydor 2383 101-Q

Polydor are valiantly tryingto hype England's answer toGrand Funk Railroad withthis one. It's a "heavy", loud,raucous album with justenough of a difference tocatch on. We're still trying tofigure out what the questionwas.

BERNSTEIN - Fancy Free FacsimileRobert Irving conducting the Concert Arts OrchestraSeraphim S -60197-F

This is the first record of a new series by Seraphim called"Great American Ballets". Both works date from the 1940'sand are filled with an infectious optimism that seems ratheralien to the America of the 70's. "Facsimile" is the more

( CLASSICALv RECOMMENDATIONSitL by Lawson Cook I

Po! \I 01 I

substantial work and stands up well as a concert piece."Fancy Free" is in Bernstein's musical comedy style. RobertIrving's vast experience as a ballet conductor is at all timesevident in these stylish, sparkling performances. The sound ismint fresh.

SCRIABIN - Poem of Ecstasy, Op. 54TCHAIKOVSKY - Romeo and Juliet Fantasy OvertureClaudio Abbado conducting the Boston Symphony OrchestraDGG 25530 137-Q

Deutsche Grammophon continue their superb series of record-ings by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, this time under thedirection of Claudio Abbado. As this year is the centenary ofAlexander Scriabin's birth, the inclusion of the Poem of Ecstasywill be of great interest to those who are re -discovering themusic of this much neglected composer.

CHARLES IVES - Symphony No. 2Bernard Herrmann conducting the London SymphonyOrchestraLondon SPC21086-Q

Bernard Herrmann was, for many years, a close personal friendof the composer. The London Symphony Orchestra respondswell to his knowing direction. The final movement is great funand is full of quotations from popular songs of the day includ-ing "De Camptown Races", "Old Black Joe" and "America TheBeautiful". London's Phase 4 Sound sorts all of this outbeautifully.

J.S.BACH - The Six Brandenburg ConcertosYehudi Menuhin conducting the Bath Festival ChamberOrchestraAngel SB3787-F

This set was available for many years on Capitol's SG seriesand it is well worth re -issuing because of the impressive listof soloists which includes Barry Tuckwell, Janet Craxton,Archie Camden and Elaine Shaffter. George Malcolm is superbin the lengthy Harpsichord solo in the fifth concerto. Bachleft his third concerto as a two movement work and this seemsto worry everyone. Menuhin adds as a middle movement theBenjamin Britten arrangement of the slow movement fromOrgan Trio Sonata No. 6.

HAYDN - Symphony No. 83 in G "La Poule"Symphony No. 101 in D "The Clock"

Herbert von Karajan conducting the Berlin PhilharmonicOrchestraAngel S -36868-F

Hearty, aggressive performances of two popular HaydnSymphonies. Karajan does not mince notes. Symphony No.83 gets its title from the second theme in the first movementwhich suggests the clucking of a hen, while the Andante move-ment of Symphony No. 101 has a tick-tock accompaniment.The virtuosity of the Berlin Philharmonic is breathtaking andtheir distinctive sound has been vividly captured by Angelengineers.

TheProgrammers

Canadian radio';We've come a long way from our importanceas an exporter of beaver pelts and beads un-til now our "Tom Tom" music has becomethe subject of controversy in some parts ofthe world. It's a long and complicated story(or is it a theory) but, the focus is now onthe credibility of a few Canadian program-mers, who may or may not be the vehiclefor their own undoing.

The 30% Canadian content ruling came intoeffect on January 18, 1971. Many of usremember it well. There were a few program-mers who violently objected the govern-ment's decision to legislate Canadian con-tent on Canadian radio. Unfortunately, oneof the prime vehicles for their objectionswas one particular tip sheet in the U.S.,purporting to be on the side of the Canadianbroadcaster, but one who was not familiarwith the reasons for, nor the workings of,a foreign government. He was however, justlaying the groundwork to influence U.S.broadcasters in a field well serviced by tipsheets - and, after all, is it really possible toperfect a new mousetrap? Anyway, the roadto success is, naturally, siding with thosehaving the most bucks and the means ofcreating a strong vocal barrage. The Cana-dian programmers needed a vehicle to voicetheir gripes and, outside the CAB, reallyweren't afforded such a powerhouse inCanada. So, they took what was availablefrom outside the country. Unfortunately,the printed words were foreign, not Cana-dian, but they did express the feelings ofthe Canadian radio community.

Some Canadian programmers referred toCanadian music as "garbage" and the rulingas "censorship" - both descriptions beingconstantly repeated in print and well cir-culated throughout the U.S. It was inferredthat the Canadian content ruling woulddamage programming, which became part ofthe rhetoric. There were cries of "unfair".That too was sent out for the American in-dustry to read - and, in many cases, believe.It is very difficult not to believe that whichis in print. It's a foregone conclusion thatwe believe everything we see in print, hearon the radio or view on the TV.

Had it ever been suggested that Canadianprogrammers believed the introduction ofthe Canadian content ruling to be anti-American? Perhaps they didn't have to - butthat also figured prominently in the samesheet (note my ability at spelling).

Perhaps the programmers got more thanthey had bargained for. They did have apowerful vehicle for their complaints - all
