MUSIC VENDOR-April 11, 19643

Exit Music Vendor

ENTER RECORD WORLDThis is the last issue of Music Vendor as you have known it in the past. Starting with next week's issue, you will be reading

a completely new magazine. The size will be new; the format will be new; the name will be new. The name of our magazine willnow be Record World; the page will be Fortune size, resulting in an expanded and more readable format; but most importantly,the content and its manner of presentation will be designed with the one purpose in mind of helping the record industry mer-

chandise its product.However any other trade paper may view its function, we see ours in terms of helping the industry, in so far as we are able,

to achieve its greatest potential, its highest goals. To this end, the features in Record World will always be designed with an eyeto giving as much useful information as possible, as quickly as possible and as impartially as possible.

In trying to be of constructive use to an industry, a magazine may have to take many tacks. Sugar coating ills doesn't help any-

one. On the other hand exaggerating problems doesn't either. We will try to view the record business in calm perspective, criti-cizing when we see something to be criticized, advising when we find something advisable, praising the things we find praise-worthy. We propose to be neither Pollyanna nor Cassandra. Our aim is to be useful. We see that as our prime function.

After seeing the first issue of Record World next week, we thin k you will agree that we have a well planned magazine, with in-formation designed to be of intensive use to our industry, attractively presented. We believe strongly that the greater the dissem-ination of news to the industry, the more variety of information available to it, the more solidly based will be the industry leaders'decisions, resulting inevitably in greater sales and increased profits.

We plan therefore to give you our concept of a record business trade paper, but we don't want to promise you the moon ormislead you. Our new magazine will not be the most startling publication created since the beginning of time. And you will notachieve million sellers by the mere use of Record World. But by using it, you will acquire information which perhaps will notbe available elsewhere, and you will have the use of aids which can only promote the sale of records. We all know that millionsellers have come from less than that.

Elvis push'' Bleyer: No ToAt Victor Cadence SaleRCA Victor Records has an-

MVISITOR-Colpix Records' lovely songstress, Jane Mor-gan, dropped up last week to present MV with a copy ofher new single, "From Russia With Love," for which, inturn, Miss Morgan received a copy of MV. Looking on,from left, are MV publisher Bob Austin, Advertising Man-ager Les Fleischer, Editor -in -Chief Sid Parnes, EditorDoug McClelland and Associate Editor Dave Finkle.

Morgan on MoveNEW YORK-Jane Morgan, who recently concluded an engage-

ment at the Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles, arrived in New Yorklast week to do promo on her latest Colpix single, "From Russiawith Love" b/w "Song from 'Moulin Rouge.' " While in New Yorkshe is planning to record her second album for Colpix.

The artist also hosted a cocktail party for Philips Records' Frenchstar Charles Aznavour and another for newsboys from all over thecountry, which is sponsored by Parade. Parts of the latter fete willbe filmed and shown later on local television throughout the UnitedStates. In the film Miss Morgan will sing her first Colpix release,"Bless 'em All."

Early this month the singer will be heard on CJAD in Montrealto help with that station's participation in Canada's spring charityappeal to raise funds for crippled children. CJAD will have a"Jane Morgan Day" and will play her recordings exclusively all day.

Regina Asked To SellBut Jack LaForges On

NEW YORK-Jack La Forge, that man of many talents (andtrades), reports that a major record company has approached himto purchase his Regina Records. Jack isn't selling-right now-buteven if he did he would still have plenty to keep him busy.

La Forge is also President of La Forge Publishing, The TriumphRecord Club and, of course, a pianist -organist now also studyingguitar and voice. He is, furthermore, a student at the HerbertBerghof School of Dramatics, a sports car addict, an airplane en-thusiast and comptroller of one of the largest manufacturing con-cerns of artificial plastic flowers-supervising more than 3,000 em-ployees around the world.

Contacted by MV last week, La Forge refused totell what record company was bidding for ReginaRecords. "It was a part of our agreement that nostatement involving the record company would bepublished at this time," La Forge said. He alsosaid that Regina is "doing fine, so we want plentyof money. They came to us to buy, we didn't goto them. They obviously like our line which in-Jack La Forge eludes such artists Sylvia DeSayles, who was re-

cently picked by Cue Magazine as one of the music world's out-standing new singers. All our people are under a three-year con-tract, after which Regina has the choice of picking up their options."

La Forge said that one of the conditions for selling would be thatall Regina artists-including Jack La Forge-go over to the newlabel. "All artists' contracts would have to be picked up by the newcompany." Jack also commented on the steady growth of his ReginaRecords, saying, "I originally started the diskery for my own rec-ords-now we have, besides Sylvia (the next Barbra Streisand),Dorothy Donegan, Toshiko, Charlie Mariano, Eddie Thompson,Roger Kellaway and Rose Murphy; plus 10 LPs."

Jack supervises all areas of his company's records: he aids inselecting repertoire; arrangements; listening, testing, trying; he

Times, Gals, Fashion7 RCAers Make Chart

HOLLYWOOD-After something of a slump period, the moviesoundtrack (or movie-inspired) album is coming back on the chartswith a bang (and a bullet), and the outlook for coming months iseven better.RCA Victor has the lead with seven filmusic albums on MusicVendor's chart this week.Pacing the current batch is the Henry Mancini -RCA winner,"Charade," which shows at No. 6; followed by the perennial "WestSide Story" soundtrack (on the chart 128 weeks!), No. 15; ElvisPresley's "Fun in Acapulco," No. 30, and his latest Victor LP,"Kissin' Cousins," hot at No. 28; Peter Nero's Sunday in New York,"also RCA's, No. 44; Colpix's hardy "Lawrence of Arabia," No. 63;while that other sturdy spectacular, MGM's "How The West WasWon," is No. 13; United Artists' late starter "Tom Jones," aidedno doubt by the picture's many Academy Award nominations, No.72; Victor's "Bye Bye Birdie," No. 119, and "The Cardinal," No. 110;and, of course, Mancini's newest, "The Pink Panther," an RCAermoving up fast at No. 91 this week.

Not showing on the chart at this time are such film LP items as"The Victors" (Colpix) ; "Becket" (Decca) ; "Point of Order"(Columbia) ; "Surf Party" (20th Century Fox) ; "From Russia WithLove" (United Artists) ; "Dead Ringer" (Warner Brothers) ; "ToBed or Not To Bed" (London) ; "It's a Mad . . . World" (UnitedArtists) ; "Dr. Strangelove and Other Great Movie Themes" (Col-pix) ; "The Long Ships" (Colpix) ; "Mediterranean Holiday," (Lon-don) and "Lilies of the Field," (Epic).Waiting in the wings, however, is an even more exciting musicalassortment of album prospects, many from musical films but quitea hefty number from non-musical, dramatic or comedy pictures. Man-cini, of course, looms as the biggest certain filmusic seller of thebunch. Aside from his current clicks with "Charade" and "PinkPanther," he has just scored two other films, "The Out-of-Towners"and "A Shot in The Dark," both due later this year. Then there'sthat other filmusic mighty, Dimitri Tiomkin, who, along with Man-cini, is one of the few flick scorers whose name is known to theaverage non -pro moviegoer and record buyer. Tiomkin is currentlyrepresented on Columbia Records with "The Fall of The RomanEmpire" soundtrack and has just finished "Circus World," cominglater in '64 on a label to be announced. What's more, several here-tofore unpublished tunes by the late George Gershwin have beenunearthed and, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin, are featured in the now -shooting non-musical, "Kiss Me, Stupid," starring Dean Martin,Peter Sellers and Kim Novak, with a soundtrack LP likely to result.Other dramatic soundtracks to watch for will be that of last year'sOscar winner, Maurice ("Lawrence of Arabia") Jarre, for "TheTrain"; Mercury's Quincy Jones' first film score for "The Pawn-broker"; and Sol ("The Victors") Kaplan's music for "The YoungLovers"-due on Columbia.

Two of Columbia's hottest singers, Robert Goulet and AndyWilliams, have both recently begun film careers, Robert in MGM's"Honeymoon Hotel" and, with Andy and Sandra Dee as co-stars, inUniversal's "I'd Rather Be Rich." Both pictures are primarilystraight comedies, although an occasional tune does pop up. Whetheralbums from them will also be popping up is not known as yet, butthere will be several singles. One, the title tune, will team Gouletand Williams for the first time on wax, with the flip featuring onlyAndy on "Almost There."In the filmusical department, things never looked brighter.MGM Records should have one of the year's biggest soundtrackersin "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" (the delightful Debbie Reynolds-Harve Presnell starrer was sneak -reviewed for MV readers a fewweeks back). This album's due in June. MGM also is looking forheavy returns with the July LP of the Connie Francis tunes fromher movie, "Looking for Love." While MGM Pictures is prepping"The Hank Williams Story," starring George Hamilton, which wouldmean an LP.

Disney's Buena Vista Records will be a potent chart contenderwith its just -out Annette LP, "Muscle Beach Party"; plus one of

THE TURN of the century spawns "Mary Poppins," picstarring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, the BuenaVista soundtrack album coming in late summer.

The latter is Julie Andrews' first movie, co-starring Dick Van Dyke, and is said to be Disney's most expensivefeature effort to date. (Ed. note: MV grabbed a fast listen to thelabel's "limited edition" "Poppins" album and can report that it isa charmer, a "Fair Ladyish" item with several enchanting bandsand one particularly lovely solo by Miss Andrews called "FeedThe Birds.")

`Dolly' LP Plus StarsPep Casters on Chart

BY DAVE FINKLE

Suddenly original cast albums are extremely important on themarket again. There had been, no one will deny, a recent let-up inthe interest the public has shown toward casters; but a reversalnow seems to be shaping up in a large way-in most instancesbecause of the wide appeal of the stars involved.

To begin with, RCA Victor's "Hello, Dolly!" the disk taken fromBroadway's biggest hit this year, has been on MV's top albumchart from the week it was issued, having jumped rapidly into thetop 10 where it sparkles at 4 this week. Its presence up there marksthe first time in a long while that a new caster has been up thathigh.

The popularity of show and album were further reflected in theLife cover last week and accompanying story which featured CarolChanning, "Dolly" star, and other cast members. The coverage willundoubtedly spur further interest in the disk-enough to keep itperched where it is for some time to come, although it wouldn'tappear to need it.

"Hello, Dolly!" will probably not remain alone among Broadway(Continued on pg. 22)

`Sunflower'Cut by Carter

Comic Jack Carter cut a singlelast week of "Sunflower," the1940s Mack David tune currentlyunder discussion in legal circlesin connection with a plagiarismsuit being leveled against JerryHerman's "Hello, Dolly!"

"Dolly" is now providingKapp's Louis Armstrong with hisfirst singles success in manyyears. It appears this week onMV's top pop chart at No. 3;while the RCA original castBroadway album is No. 4.

As it turns out, the Carter diskwill be reminiscent of the Arm-strong single since Jack feels hewarbles like Louis against a Dix-ieland arrangement. Carter ex-pects the disk to released byUnited Artists.

The flip will have Paula Ste-wart (Mrs. Carter) singing "Hey,Look Me Over," the song she in-troduced with Lucille Ball inBroadway's "Wildcat."

Carter said last week that hewas excited about the disk be-cause it will allow him to singon record-something he has onlydone once before, in the caster of"Mr. Wonderful" a few yearsback. Ironically, his night clubroutines are generously spicedwith song.

Business Sense HelpsDisk Collection Grow

BY DOUG McCLELLANDNEW YORK-More and more

frequently these days record com-panies in need of old masters areturning not to their own archivesbut to Counsellor -at -Law JacobS. Schneider, also America's mostnoted collector of 78 rpm disksand tapes.

"I made a sales to RCA Victorlast week," Schneider told MV

last week, whileexplaining theroutine at hisW. 82nd St.keepingplacefor his keep-sakes. (A loca-tion, inciden-tally, that isonly a fewblocks from

Schneider's Amsterdam Ave. lawoffices.) His only assistanceamongst his maze of records racksthere is one Kenneth Rooks, amusician and a Schneider custom-er himself who has been withthe outfit for 10 years.

Schneider said a real collectorwould rather buy records thaneat. "I've had musicians come inhere and cry when they heardtheir old records.

"Take Fred MacMurray. He'dbeen looking for years for somesides he made back in the '30swhen he played saxophone. Ifound some on which he also hadvocals and sent them to him.He almost broke down."

Along with celebrities from allover the world, as well as in-terested non -pros, Schneider haslately found diskeries to be a ma-jor source of revenue to him-although he quickly affirms that"I am a collector, not a business-man. I only sell to be able toget more records?'

Record collecting as a popularpastime, Schneider explained,

came into being around 1942. TheUnited States needed shellacand metal to aid the war effortand appealed to all citizens toturn in their records. Billions ofrecords were demolished, kickingoff the collecting craze via theshortage created.

Record companies also pitchedin to help the war effort, andmany "mothers" from which diskswere pressed were destroyed,causing the labels to call onSchneider with increasing fre-quency. Masters also are on oc-casion inadvertently lost or mis-placed, he added.

Schneider started collectingaround 1945. "I bought a recordchanger for my son," he contin-ued, "and the dealer gave mesome Benny Goodman recordswith it. My son liked them, sowe went around to some othershops to get Goodman records.We found some old 1932 Good-man disks that were selling forfive and six dollars! I wouldn'tpay that price for them, though.About six months later I wascoming back from a trip with myfamily and I spied an antiquedealer's truck loaded down withrecords. I stopped and lookedover what was aboard. I sawsome old Goodman records, andremembered the price that dealerhad asked for his old Goodmandisks, so I paid $50 on the spotfor this whole batch. There wereover 2,000 records; this was thestart of my collection."

"What's more," non -business-man Schneider said, "I pulled outthe Goodman disks and sold themfor $200 to the guy who wantedto charge me five or six dollarsapiece!"

Schneider devotes the last hourand a half during a work week-day to opening collectors' mail,and all -day Saturday to what hecalls his "hobby." He began ad-vertising in law journals, then inmusic publications, says that as alawyer the farthest he's traveledis Washington, but as a collectorhe's been to every state in theunion. He doesn't bother withLPs, and isn't interested in 45s;and he claims he only has about10 competitors in the UnitedStates, "but I have more recordsthan all of them put together."

Schneider feels that contem-porary LPs are proving an aidto his collecting. He explainedthat young people hear newlypackaged recordings of people

Regina -La Forge(Con't. from pg. 7)

seeks out the best man for the final arrangement, the one he thinkswill be best for the artist; records at RCA; uses the best printerand employs David Thorpe, the photographer.

Regina spares no expenses under La Forge, who feels that "Pack-aging is one of the most important things in selling albums. If you'veproduced good music, put it in a good package. That's why we usethe best paper, printer, photographer and an artist such as DavidE. Meeker, who does all the art work from which transparencies aremade for the album covers."

In the selection of music for Regina, Jack feels that there is goodand bad in all kinds from chamber to rock and roll, but, "even thevery bad appeals to some people." He says, "People are not thesame, we must appeal to the highbrows and to the masses. We mustrespect the other person and, therefore, a recording company is ob-ligated to produce what the other person wants and likes even whenwe don't like it. We have not as yet recorded any rock and roll, but,when we do, we'll strive to keep it in good taste-wholesome."When asked to enlarge on this, he replied, "We'd try to refine rockand roll because we certainly can't define it."

Jack continued, "We have an obligation to make listening com-fortable, to educate the listener musically and to give him goodvalue. W e spend 30 cents for pressing a disk while some otherpopular companies are spending as little as 10 cents. The latterdisks are poor in quality and hardly last."

But back to the problem of to sell or not to sell. La Forge saidthat he's certainly not going to rush into anything. "After all, I'mmy own boss now."

iike tiix Biederbecke and wantoriginals. "I was in Hollywoodrecently purchasing a collectionwhen a teen-age girl came intothe store and asked for a BessieSmith original. I asked her whereshe'd ever heard of Bessie Smith,and she said, 'I bought a newLP'."

Schneider is also very proudof his rapidly growing tape col-lection.

"I've got everything on tape,"he boasted with more than slightjustification. People send me fromIN shows, radio, etc."

"Here," he pointed out, flip-ping through his tape indices.c.

"Recently I got hold of a tapeof the five Dionne quints singingin harmony," Schneider contin-ued, "with an introduction by Dr.Defoe.

"I've also got Christine Jorgen-sen-you know, that's the fellathat's a girl."

Schneider also has quite a busi-ness, it would appear, his pro-testations notwithstanding, eventhough he says people can't justwalk in off the streets and buyrecords. "If they come in andsay, 'Records for sale?' I say no.You have to be a collector. Youhave to love records like I do."

`Jones' BoyTrouble

NEW YORK-United ArtistsRecords has instituted action inthe Supreme Court here enjoin-ing Theatre Productions Rec-ords, Inc., and Robert Shad fromusing the record jacket on theShad -produced "Tom Jones" al-bum, an original musical comedyscore, released last week. It isUnited Artists' contention thatthe cover would make the publicbelieve the Shad "Tom Jones"music was in fact from the "TJ"film. UA has requested the courtto order Theater Productions andShad "to cease and desist" fromusing the jacket immediately.

"They've asked us to take fivewords off the jacket," Shad toldMV last week; "which we've re-fused to do so far." (The wordsare "The original musical CastRecording.")

"We've got a smash thing go-ing for us," Shad said. "The or-ders are coming in a great way.We've played the album on oneNew York station, and they got alot of calls asking where to getthe album with the lyrics andthe narrator."

The "Tom Jones" caster is thefirst in a projected line of suchscores without previous Broadwayshowcasing. "We're putting thecart before the horse, you mightsay," Shad explained. "We've al-ready had a number of offers forproductions. It looks like a wholenew thing."

On the docket now are plansfor two or three new scores peryear, the next ones being sched-uled for September and January.The future properties must re-main nameless now, but RuthBatchelor and Bob Roberts, whoscored "Jones" will be doing oneof them.

In the meantime court actionon the current album comes whenthe "Tom Jones" name is mightyhot. The soundtracker is at No.72 on the charts and moving up.The film is -up for 10 AcademyAwards, including Albert Finneyas best actor, Tony Richardson asbest director and John Addisonfor his score. Odds are heavilyin favor of the pic to take a ma-jority of the Oscars April 13, aneventuality that could mean muchto potential sales of the sound-track as well as "The OriginalMusical Cast Recording."

Robert K. Shapiro, Managingdirector of the Paramount said,"They're all really nice kids thathave come to see the shows. Theblack -leather -jacket gang is miss-ing."

An Eggheads Fad? Tokens Bow OnBaldies Big,Parents Balk

NEW YORK-The new rock`n' roll group called The Egg-heads made their TV bow on"The Garry Moore Show" onMarch 31, and by noon the fol-lowing day the phone lines ofeveryone involved were buzzingwith calls from angry parents inwhat seemed to be a vain attemptto stem the tide of a rising fadstarted by this bald group.

Teenage boys are starting toshave their heads! Two studentsfrom Lincoln and Tilden HighSchools were the first to wield therazor, and it looks like there aregoing to be a number of shinypates gleaming on the country'sbeaches this summer. Moore'snetwork, CBS -TV and The Egg-heads' press representatives, theConnie de Nave agency, are re-ferring all complaints to a cen-tral office directing the group'sfan clubs (Mrs. Marchesani,phone 4045-7313 in New Jer-sey).

When asked how they felt aboutteenagers following their exam-ple in this offbeat fashion fad,The Eggheads (Chuch Harmon,John Samson, Lucky Liccardiand Jim Monte) were highlyamused.

"Why not?" said Chuch Har-mon. "It's neat, its cool and it'skind of fun the way people re-act!"

"Yeah, it really shakes themup!" laughed Jim.

How do the girls react to thehairless domes? The boys smiledmodestly. Apparently they aren'thaving too much trouble.

Soundtracks(Continued from pg. 18)

Another Andrews vehicle, "The Sound of Music," is underway at20th Century Fox studios, co-starring Eleanor Parker, ChristopherPlummer and Peggy Wood; but the soundtrack album rights(Columbia has the Broadway version) are still up for grabs.

Presley, of course, is always an album power to reckon with, andhe should have two more clicks via his two unreleased flicks, "VivaLas Vegas!", co-starring Ann -Margret, and "Roustabout," co-starringBarbara Stanwyck. These trackers will be on Victor, of course, aswill be the long -promised "Threepenny Opera" film starring Hilde-garde Neff, Curt Jurgens and Sammy Davis Jr.

And the in -the -works Beatles movie for United Artists shouldprove a boon for all concerned.

Pop star Lesley Gore is also set to make her movie bow in aUA film, "Beach Girl."

Still in the planning stages are "Say It With Music," "BikiniBeach Party" and "Pizza for Breakfast," among others.

It is safe to say, however, that the most anxiously anticipatedfilmusical of 1964-maybe of all time-is Warner Brothers' October -due filmization of "My Fair Lady." A record -breaker as a legit showand as a Columbia original caster, the movie bids fair to repeathistory-again on Columbia Records.

Broadway LPs(Continued from pg. 19)

show LPs up in that heady clime for long, since "Funny Girl" isdue from Capitol this week and is certain to garner heavy sales actionas a result of the show's favorable reviews and especially as aresult of the success of star Barbra Streisand, who has placed herfirst three albums in the top 10 within the past year. ("BarbraStreisand/The Third Album" is currently at 5 this week.)

Barbra is generally conceded to be the hottest show businesspersonality at the present moment, and that won't fail to meansomething at counters, especially when the hypes given the talentedsinger -actress -comedienne are coming from all quarters-includingan impending Time cover story.

Aside from the marvelous press she's receiving, whether or notthe show is accoladed, personalities with influence over a masspublic are going out of their way to give her glowing notices. EdSullivan, aside from his column plugs, recently told his TV audi-ences, in what sounded like a command, to get over to "Funny Girl"and see the star go through her antics. Later on the same Sundayevening Bette Davis, appearing on "What's My Line," called Barbra"the most exciting performer I've seen in years." No mean compli-ment coming from one of the most celebrated actresses of all time.

This sampling of notices, which surely could not have beenbettered if written by press agents, is the sort that forms cults,brands anyone not on the bandwagon a social outcast and sellsrecords.

Also in the offing are two other diskers that will probably beable to trade on the popularity of the stars and their extremelylarge audiences. "Anyone Can Whistle," a musical written by ArthurLaurents and Stephen Sondheim, who've performed the same choresfor "West Side Story" and "Gypsy," opened last week with LeeRemick and Angela Lansbury starred. Both actresses have largefollowings because of their film work and this factor could turn"Whistle" into a big seller for Columbia.

arol Burnett should also focus attention on her caster from ABC-Paramount's "Fade Out -Fade In" set for a late May Broadwayopening and early June elpee release. The comic's pull with TVaudiences will probably mean buyer interest when the time arrives.(Carol also has "Once Upon a Mattress" ready for a June TVairing. No caster as yet, although Decca has the old off-Broadwaycast LP.)

Right now Steve Lawrence's "What Makes Sammy Run?" con-tinues to climb up the chart and is at 56 this frame.

Rounding out the caster season will be "High Spirits," the ABC-Paramount waxing of the Beatrice Lillie and Tammy Grimes(last week's Satevepost cover girl) starrer, another show with starsto bring in cash.
