MW launches definitive product listing
NEXT MONTH Music Week is launching Music Week Masterfile -- a comprehensive listing of all music product in whatever format -- updated monthly.
By now you should have had the opportunity of assessing the unique features of the Masterfile service which was previewed with a sample mini-edition distributed with last week's issue of the main magazine. Masterfile has grown from the extensive research resources of Music Week built up over the years and is expected to become the standard reference
work for retailers and all those involved with recorded music.
Singles, albums, cassettes, CDs and music videos are fully cross referenced.
To make it as easy as possible to subscribe there are several options: the first issue covering October costs just £5; the first three issues are available for the price of two -- £10; and an annual subscription for 1987 works out at £75, providing a saving of £35 and the added bonus of the October, November and December 1986 issues free. The yearly sub-
scription offer is backed up by a guarantee that anyone who is not satisfied after the first three issues will be entitled to afull refund.
Further details p27.
Directory: hurry!

Duffell believes there is sufficient customer loyalty to HMV's current Oxford Street shop for it to retain its level of business even when the new premises open. To help it thrive, it has been refitted and the basement converted into a giant tape market.
The Oxford Circus store will have its specialist departments designed around a theme: the rock section will look like a recording studio, jazz will be based on New Orleans.
In addition in the rock section, individual artists will have all product associated with them, from records to shirts and calenders, together on one rack.
POLYGRAM AND WEA have again shared the honours in the third quarter of 1986, though they have swapped places in the latest market share tables. WEA has leapfrogged PolyGram to take top spot among album companies, while PolyGram claims top singles company spot this time.
The damaging effect of CBS's trade terms dispute is starkly illustrated by the company's plunge to fifth place in both formats.
A&M -- benefiting from Chris de Burgh's chart topping success -- has maintained its singles impact as top label, while EMI was top albums label. Boris Gardiner was top singles artist and Madonna top albums artist. · Full market survey details on p10, publishing credits on p22.

BLANK TAPE manufacturers are behaving like "a bunch of yobbos" in continuing to circulate claims about home-taping that have been branded by the Advertising Standards Authority as unsubstantiated.
That is the view of BPI legal adviser Patrick Isherwood though the Tape Manufacturers Group is claiming that the BPI "backed off" seeking an injunction to stop the claims being published.
The TMG's argument that there should be no tape levy because of the "rich and greedy" nature of the music industry was originally put forward in a series of advertisements in The Times. These were ruled unfair by the ASA (MW October 11) but that did not stop the TMG circulating them in booklet form to the Conservative conference last week.
Isherwood says no injunction was sought because that would have attracted even more attention to the TMG's case and that the BPI should not become involved in "unnecessary" litigation.
The TMG argues, though, that the BPI backed down from seeking an injunction and says the tape makers would happily go to court to fight apoint of principle.
The group points out that it submitted no evidence to the ASA, claiming that its campaign was political and therefore outside the ASA's jurisdiction. Says a spokesman: "Our reluctance to comply with the ASA's request for evidence centred on the important point of principle and had nothing whatsoever to do with any difficulty in supporting the statements made in the advertising!'

Towerbell Records into a whollyowned subsidiary in the hope that it can be sold for the benefit of creditors.
"The action has been taken to protect the assets and the tax lasses and maximise the advantage of the careful long-term planning that has been made with regard to future trading but which we are now unable to undertake because of cash flow problems."

Midem subsidy deadline looms
MORE THAN 50 UK companies have already booked for Midem 1987 as the deadline for Government trade subsidies draws near. "Those wanting to make a stand will have to act fast if they wont to claim the subsidy," says Midem's sales director Peter Rhodes.
CBS and RCA/Ariola are among the record companies attending, while there is the usual strong representation of music publishers.
Particular features of next year's event are afocus on jazz and an American Music Independents stand, aiming to boost the representation of smaller US companies by drawing them together under one banner.
The jazz accent is a development cherished by Midem organiser Bernard Chevry who is still very much in charge, in spite of the takeover earlier this year by UK television company TVS.
Chevry says that the involvement by TVS is enabling his company to expand and adds: 'When we met it was clear that TVS and Ishared many of the some ideas and ambitions for the future."

NEW YORK: Solar Records has filed suit against WEA and Warner Communications alleging breach of contract and racial discrimination.
Solar claims that Elektra/ Asylum, which distributed the label between 1981 and 1986, failed to promote the company's acts because of its black ownership and the fact that its artists are black. Solar is now distributed in the US by Capitol.
MUNICH: The first Congress of Continental Concert Agencies is taking place here October 16-19 concurrently with the second Munich Underground Festival.
Agents from Scandinavia, France, the Benelux countries, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Greece, Hungary and Yugoslavia are meeting with the intention of setting up a central office and network co-ordinated for the benefit of artists touring through Europe.

RUMOURS THAT the eight-shop Bradleys chain in Yorkshire and Lancashire has ceased trading have been scotched by owner John Bradley.
One store, in Manchester, has closed and the holding company E
Bradley & Co Ltd has gone into liquidation but Bradley says there are no creditors in the music industry.
He points out that for the last two years all product has been bought by his wholesale operation which is continuing to trade normally. Through this company, he is personally administering the remaining retail outlets in Halifax, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Rochdale, Doncaster and two in Sheffield.
Bradley assures the industry that the shops will continue to trade.

PINNACLE DISTRIBUTION had its best ever month's trading in September, achieving a turnover of £1.1m.
Company owner Steve Mason attributes the success to acombination of the general strength of indie product and some prominent new releases, significantly the recent Elvis Costello album. Mason claims: "That album on Demon did better through indie distribution than the previous one did through amajor."
lie goes on: "Our success is also
due to the fact that because of our diverse catalogue, Pinnacle is accessible to more outlets than ever before. Business with Our Price, for example, has been astronomical. It's gone up tenfold in ayear."
Asked whether Pinnacle's success is an indication of more indie product being sold, Mason replies: "I think it's just that we are getting more of the indie market. The indie share of the total market has gone up but we are now getting abigger slice of that shore."

Bar owner gets jail for PRS offence
THE PRS has obtained aconviction against the proprietor of a bar in Omagh, County Tyrone, for using copyright music on his premises without alicence. Patrick O'Hogan of the Bridge Bar, Eskra, Omagh, was sentenced in his absence to a month's imprisonment by the Belfast High Court, with a fortnight's delay until October 20 to give him an opportunity to purge his contempt of court.
This latter relates to an injunction granted against him in 1980, and is believed to be the first contempt of court order obtained by the PRS. It is alleged that O'Hogan features live music twice a week on his premises without a licence.
THE MCPS has notified signatories of the BPI/MCPS joint licensing scheme that until further notice no licence will be granted for the importation of the following records: Trilogy by Yngwie Malmsteen (US PolyGram LP 422-831-073-1; cassette 422-831-073-4); United by The Commodores (US PolyGram LP 831194-1; cassette 831194-2); Going To The Bank by The Commodores (US PolyGram seven-inch 885358-7; 12-inch 885358-1); Take Me All The Way by Stacy Lattislow (US Motown LP 6212-ML; cassette 6212-MC); Chico Debarge (US Motown 6214-ML; cassette 6214-MC) and In Full Chill by General Kane (US Gordy 6216-GL; cassette 6216-- GC).
VIDEO DISTRIBUTOR Island Visual Arts has signed adeal with Channel 5which will mean names such as Bob Morley, Grace Jones and Kin te Kanawa appearing in Channel 5's "under otermer" range. The deal covers existing Island titles and four new compilations.
RECORD TOKENS has expanded its retail exchange areas so that musical instruments, computer software and sheet music can now be bought with the vouchers.
BRIEFS
ISLAND RECORDS managing director Clive Banks has accepted the BPI's invitation to join the organisation's council, bringing it up to its full strength of eight. RCA MD John Preston has been appointed retail liaison committee chairman.
AMMUNITION COMMUNICATIONS has switched distribution to Pinnacle to coincide with the release of the new Blues 'N' Trouble single, Honey Pot. The single is being backed by a college tour, flyposting and press advertising.

reports an improvement on business everyday on the previous
day's takings. "The first week we

cluding many imports. I'm anti-
COMPACT DISC specialist dealers are anticipoting a prosperous autumn with plenty of big-name titles -- providing the record companies con keep their promises of delivering product on time. And business shouldn't be just confined to the software -- the sales of CD accessories look set to soar as well.
What is believed to be the UK's first complete home entertainment centre opened in Croydon, Surrey, several weeks ago and Alan Davison, managing director of That's Entertainment, says:
"If we sustain the CD business
'We stock around 2,000 CD titles, along with accessories, and they just fly through the door'
that we have had since the opening between now and Christmas, then it's going to be just incredible. We stock around 2,000 titles, along with compact disc accessories, and they just fly through the door."
That's Entertainment features product from singles, albums, cassettes and compact discs to computer software and games and a wide range of merchandise. 'We're trying to attract a wide ronge of people who normally loathe to brave the ear-bashing sound of many high street record stores," Davison says, "and we're finding that we get a complete cross-section of customers. It's important to have a wide range of CD stock though, because if it's there, they'll buy it -- but if it's not, they won't bother to ask for it."
Davison says that the average CD buyer is adifferent breed to the album consumer. "If someone buys four albums, they'll almost certainly all be the same kind of music, whether it be pop, rock or classical, but CD buyers seem to prefer a total mixture of different types of music. Probably because the format is relatively new, they're keen
to experiment. That's Entertainment stocks a
wide range of CD accessories --
cipating a great autumn, particularly with all the big-name releases that are coming out -- provided

shop means that you don't neces-
sarily have to have a prime high street position. I've only done a small amount of press advertising, mainly in the local freebie papers, but people seem to have got to
know about the shop." The six-strong Paul Roberts Hi-Fi
chain in the West Country -- claimed to be the only CD specialist chain in the country -- is also
anticipating a good autumn although manager Ricki Wenn would like to see more catalogue releases on compact disc -- "In particular from CBS".
Wenn says: "There isn't really an average CD buyer, and their buying patterns can be very diffe-
rent. We find that most compact disc customers are aged from 20 years upwards, and alot of people around the 55 mark seem to be quite keen CD fans, probably because they are round about retirement age. Some customers probably only come into the shop once or twice a month but often they buy about a£100 worth of CDs at a time. On the other hand there are those who come in acouple of times aweek, and walk out of the shop with just a couple of CDs."
On the accessory side, he reports that customers are very aware of what's available and take advantage of what's on offer. "When they've spent that amount of money on a new compact disc player, and the software, then they are much more conscious about the care of their equipment."

Pillar to post
by Barry Lazell LONDON-BASED Pillar Promotions is to launch anew information package which should be of major importance to the dance side of the record industry. The D.J.U. or Disc Jockey Update - is a directory containing names, details and mailing addresses of the country's top club Dis, the initial target these days for any danceorientated record release. Also listed are the addresses of key clubs, along with appropriate information to assist the arrangement of PAs and promotions.
Bearing in mind the fact that this sort of information can go out of date very quickly, and that constant updating is necessary for target maximisation, Pillar plans a constant programme of revisions, additions and deletions, resulting in abrand-new edition of the D.J.U. each quarter which will keep regular users always up-to-date.
Pillar, itself recently launched, by brothers Simon and Philip Williams, is based at South Bank House, Black Prince Road, London SEI 75.1, to where enquiries by potential users should be addressed (011 735 8171.
Jazz movers
MOVE RECORDS, Edinburgh's block music indie label, best-known for its excursions into traditionallystyled soul music from US independents, branches out with its two most prominent current 12-inchers - both danceable jazzy instrumentals.
Survive (MS 111 is by Sam L Dees, better known as aproducer and particularly as a songwriter, with his material being recorded by the likes of Gladys Knight, the Manhattans, Jeffrey Osborne, Atlantic Starr, the Temptations and Colonel Abrams during the last few years. Dees has also recorded sporadically as avocalist since the mid-Sixties, but on the new release reserves his vocal talents for the flip, Fly Angel Fly, and leads a funky band instrumentally on Sur-

vive. Move has been putting amajor promo push behind this first Dees vinyl for eight years, and among other things has been setting up radio interviews with Dis on specialist shows around the local rodio network.
The other Move instrumental is a UK production, and features alto sax player Jamie Talbot (pictured) on avibrant version of Al Jarreau's Mornin' (MS 17). Talbot is aconstant in-demand session player
and accompanyist, and has performed alongside the diverse talents of Ella Fitzgera)d, Shakatok, Aretho Franklin, Johnny Dank worth and Whom! Mornin' is a taster of an entire album by him' entitled Altitude, which is also an imminent Move release. · Contact Move Records on (0311226 3412. Distribution is vio Charly.
· AFTER A brief trial period in the London area, dance music has now arrived nationally on British Telecom's Live Wire dial-a-musical item phone service. BBC Radio London DJ Dave Pearce is putting together aweekly four-minute slot which will feature extracts from a couple of hot 12-inchers, news about new releases, notable dance music tours and gigs around the country, and brief interviews with UK or visiting American soul/dance performers.

TEN YEARS ON ... no, this isn't another 10 Glorious Years Of Punk tribute, for as well as being the year of
the spiky top revolution that itself
spawned ageneration of old farts,
1976 was also the year that for-
mer Abbey National surveyor
Nigel Grainge chucked his job as
A&R chief at Phonogram and laun-
ched Ensign along with influential
Britfunk DJ Chris Hill and adminis-
trator Doreen Loader.
Their record since -- the discov-
ery and signing of The Boomtown
Rats, "sensational days", Phil
Fearon, The Waterboys, and the
nurturing of emerging artists like
World Party and Sinead O'Connor
-- speaks volumes for Grainge
and Hill's ear for talent. And yet
policy -- or lack of it -- at Ensign
runs directly contrary to practice
elsewhere in the industry, which
Grainge feels is overstuffed with
accountants and lawyers.
Grainge has worked at and with Phonogram, RCA, Island and currently Chrysalis, the latter as the result of a deal set this year obviously much to the delight of each party. But for much of the industry Grainge sees waste and a "conveyor belt mentality".
ENSIGN FLAG ships: (top right clockwise) Sinead O'Connor, Phil Fearon, Georgie Fame, Karl Wolfinger of World Party, Waterboys' Mike Scott and Tony Stone.

Apart from the Boomtown Rats,
when Grainge put his company on the line to muscle together ahuge deal to sign the band in the teeth of fierce opposition, Grainge doesn't do big advances. He also resents the big-name producer syndrome and the huge pressure for instant

Chance or afine ear? One such "chance" was the recognition of the strength and ambition in Graham Parker's voice when he heard it on the Charlie Gillett show. He signed Parker to afive-LP deal on the strength of two songs and his was the only phone call Gillett received about Parker.
The names of Steve Miller, Huey Lewis and Thin Lizzy ("they were signed to an outrageously low deal and were amazingly successful") can also be added to the list of pre-Ensign discoveries made by self-confessed complusive record collector Grainge.
He thinks there's far too much money splashed carelessly around with no real thought going into whether artists actually need big advances, or even more pertinently, whether big advances are good for young acts. Grainge, who admits to feeling jittery if he's in astudio more than half-an-hour, also encourages bands to produce their own material wherever possible.
'We know what not to touch -- our guidelines ore probably completely different to most peoples -- Idon't care about hipness or demos as long as it feels great and the songs ore sensational. If you

Isaid the deal may only be small but it'll still cost £150,000 in real terms by the time I've paid for everything, but she won't have the spectre of all those zeros in front of her -- she's free to experiment."
Grainge broke his own rule for The Rats, who supplied "the best demo I've ever heard -- Imade people's ears bleed with it", but ultimately left the fold -- leaving
-- who one senses are Grainge's ultimate artists -- were encouraged to record their first LP economically. Five-and-a-half years later Grainge's faith -- and obvious personal devotion -- paid off with This Is The Sea, an LP "selling by the bucketload".
And a happy spin-off of the band's breakthrough looks like being the solo success of the recently ex-Waterboy Karl Wallinger whose Private Revolution single and album is doing very nicely thank you following rave reviews in Melody Maker -- and MW
But it's great to listen to Grainge's story of The Night IHeard Mike Scott For The First Time, and enjoy his enthusiasm. "One night in 1980
Iwas driving home from the studio
listening to John Peel. The last song
was Out Of Control by Just Another Pretty Face [Scott's first band]. Ihad to stop the car -- had serious cold sweats -- Ihad to find out about that band!
"I found they were unsigned after being dropped by Virgin. Chris and Iflew to Scotland and saw
them play a gig in front of 11
people -- all friends. "It was a devastating experi-
ence. It was like what seeing The Velvets at Max's must have been. I said Idon't care how long it takes I want that track. Ibought it off the BBC and it was eventually the bside of their first 12-inch for us, A Boy Called Johnny.
"Chris and I really love The Waterboys. We determined over five years that this was for life. We were determined to break them even though we had minimal press, TV and radio."
ike Mike Scott, Phil Fearon had been rejected by just about every major when he -- unbelievably -- threw pebbles up at Ensign's window one night (Grainge swears this is true). 'We've got agreat relationship -- it's only hits with Phil." A new era has already begun at Ensign with the Chrysalis deal plus the signing of a 21-year-old roofer, Tony Stone, a singer with a great soul voice and image. Again, it's another low-key deal designed to give Stone room enough to make mistakes. "All the action is co-inciding with the move to Chrysalis. Their sympathy and support is spot on -- we were worried because their roster's so different to ours, but the acceptance and appreciation's been great." But why the move away from complete autonomy? Grainge says that today's costs, especially in the studio, convinced him to change the structure of the company, so Ensign was sold to Chrysalis. Throughout the trials of the past though, Grainge pays tribute to the support of Hill and Loader. "Chris and Ialways spark each other off, ideas come thick and fast when we're together. He's had countless offers from elsewhere, but he'd be like a bull in a china shop in other companies. "The Ensign division will run exactly as ever from Westbourne Grove. We have our own budgets and that means our own financial security. Now we're just answerable to Chrysalis, not the bank." You could say that a decade later Grainge and Hill are laughing all the way to the bank. But their real pay -off, you can sense, lies much closer to their hearts than their pockets.

CHRIS HILL and Nigel Grainge: resisting the conveyor be tmentality.
PAGE 18
THE POPULAR notion may be that Chris Hill is the black side of the business and Nigel Grainge the rock, but in fact all A&R decisions are made jointly.
Areas that Hill does concern himself particularly with are studios and selling and he's worried that the record buyers' choice is being narrowed artificially.
'We opened orecord shop in 77 to find out how things were," he says. "I came out very worried for indic shops. When Iwas akid the guy in the record shop used to be able to sell you Otis Redding when you'd gone in for The Beatles -- that's how things hap-

pened. The whole area of selling is now being left to TV and rodio. The record companies decide what ends up in the racks." One bright spot, he says, is the resurgence of the specialists, who ore able to offer advice.
A DJ for 20 years, and one who provided an enormous boost for black British bands in the late Seventies, Hill is also hoping for a big return to live music in the clubs. "Punk brought live music back, but now it's gone all technical again. But there's been a big upsurge of visiting black acts in the last two years. These are people like Maze who
can fill huge venues for a week but don't have hits." . Hill's main project at the moment is Ensign's new single with Georgie Fame, afashionable figure again thanks to the success
of bands like Matt Bianco, and a long-time hero of his. 'We're so happy with the Chrysalis deal -- it's the first time we've felt the freedom to do what we want. When we started Ensign Iwas earning so much as a DJ Ididn't need a company wage, I'd've done it for nothing it was such fun. That's the trouble with this business... they know you'd do it for nothing."

but whether it will grace the upper

is quite another matter.

JOHN FOGERTY: Eye Of The Zombie, Warner Bros WB 925449-1, Producer: Artist. From a mon who went walkies for adozen years or so and came back wearing what looked suspiciously like the some shirt, you don't expect surprises and there were few on his solidly Creedence-ish and highly successful return Centerfield. But this time, from the off there are: it's a rather sombre set in which chooglin' lyrics have given way almost entirely to environmental/ political concerns. Musically too, there is less muscularity, with Fogerty dabbling in some rather wimpy keyboards, but with the title track released as asingle and the man currently touring with these musicians in the US, interest should be long-term.

seems incredible that anovelty act such as 3Mustaphas 3can sustain an entire LP -- and this isn't the first -- without the joke wearing olittle thin. In fact the band are extremely proficient musicians and their nutty Balkan sound is quite engaging and even wryly amusing -- mainly for being reminiscent of Greek restaurant cabaret. Just the job for those wacky dinner parties?

CAYENNE: Hot Nights Coda Records CODE 22. The disciplined approach of Cayenne on this album comes as apleasant surprise after live performances which have veered towards the fiddly and monotonous. Having toned down the pounding, percussion led sound which is their usual trademark, Cayenne exploit a Latin flavoured jazz mix with echoes of Herb Albert and Parisian style piano accordion thrown in for good measure. It's inventive and polished with a timeless appeal that won't make it achart stormer but which should nevertheless guarantee it areasonable lifespan.

Digital: the
DIE is cast
RECORD COMPANY executives have a second chance to catch up on the latest advances in digital recording techniques
next month at the 1986 Digital Information Exchange.
Last year's event was largely snubbed by A&R personnel
who ultimately foot the bill for the massive investment re-
quired in upgrading to advanced digital equipment.
However, the widespread confusion that new technology has brought about among record
company management is likely to ensure that at least some executives will ¡oin the ranks of recording engineers to learn for themselves the implications
of the new opportunities avail-
able. Impending digital audio
technology, hard disc recording and a selection of new innovations in DASH format equipment are among the main items on the agenda at
this year's event.
It is widely expected that the
three-day seminar series which
runs from November 26-28
will feature some of the first UK
demonstrations of the new rot-
ary head digital audio tape
equipment R-11Dat, grabbing all
the headlines at the October
Tokyo Audio Fair.
Unlike last year, which featured
aspecial day designed for record company staff, Digital Information
Exchange '86 is geared to explor-
ing new original techniques in
three different fields. Day One is aimed at broadcast
and video; day two covers digital
recording and compact disc while
doy three looks at the opportunities afforded by digital audio and
video in data storage and scientific
research.

PRODUCER GEORGE Martin has joined forces with former BBC Television managing director Aubrey Singer and independent producer Tom Gufteridge to produce a 24-part documentary series on popular music called All You Need Is Ears.
Work is now underway on a pilot programme for the £3m series which has been commissioned by Channel Four. If the pilot is successful, production on the series may begin in January 1987 for completion in early 1988.
Martin, legendary producer of the Beatles, has been asked to write and present the series. The original idea come from his book Making Music and as areal musician with some strong views on the music industry he was seen as an
MARTIN: Fresh approach.

TOO MANY studios chasing too little business? Rubbish. At least, that's the reaction of recording industry entrepreneurs investing millions of pounds in new top class facilities.

ideal choice for the project. All You Need Is Ears will examine popular music through Martin's eyes, providing a fresh approach to the subject.
Tom Gutieridge, who left the BBC lost year and is now directing LWT's ice fantasy Fire And Ice, starring Torvill and Dean, says: "Popular music has rarely been token seriously by television. There have been many rock documentaries in the past, but they have generally treated the subject from ahistorical perceptive."
Parisian pointers
THE Salon de Musique de Paris doesn't gain much attention from the UK music business, perhaps because it isn't traditionally used as a launching point for new equipment. But it's an important show, attracting large numbers of the public, although more oriented towards dealers and distributors than manufacturers. Many of the exhibitors -- such as Numera and Musicland Distribution -- were dealing with at least adozen or 20 different lines.
But there were some important new releases in the tradition of small French designers such as RSF, Polyfusion, Micro Performance and Vigier. If some of these lines were imported into the UK we might find more alternatives to the Japanese approach to music!
Of course, Yamaha, Korg, Roland, Akai and other established companies hod massive stands. But what about small companies such

Flying the flag at AES
THE LOS Angeles AES Convention kicks off next month with 25 UK companies attending, including six companies which will be showing their products to the US market for the first time. And out front, flying the flag, will be Studio Week -- showcasing the best in UK technology and talent.
The Convention begins on November 12 with an alldigital workshop and the exhibition starts a day later running through to November 16. It is back in LA after afive-year break -- it was moved out due to lock of space -- and will be held in two locations, the Los Angeles Convention Centre and the Los Angeles Hilton. Studio Week -- the studio magazine read by the music industry -- will be attending this 81st AES in force.
US organiser Doug Plunkett says: "In total we have 218 companies taking part in the exhibition. At the LA Convention Centre there will be 446 booths and five demonstration rooms, with another 15 demonstration booths at the Hilton where most of the papers, technical sessions and workshops will be held. So far the list of speakers numbers 72.
"At the last US Convention in New York we had over 10,000 visitors and we expect to increase the figures this year."

as Digigram? Their new MC5 multitrack MIDI sequencer allows you to enter notes or chords in real or step time from a synth or from a layout of black-and-white keys simulating akeyboard.
The gimmick -- plug an Epsontype printer into the back and you get a quick, neat printout of all your music. Invaluable for those who need hard copies for session musicians or copyright purposes and who can't afford the services of amusic copyist.
Another machine which may cause some redundancies is the Kurzweil Ensemble Grand (shown by Musicland) which is an upright sampled piano with organ, synth, string and other sounds plus a preset/programmable drum section with auto fills and a huge realtime memory. The bar room jazz trio may soon become abar room jazz soloist.
Musicland were also showing the Photon guitar, which uses infrared pickups for very fast reaction to string movement. At around £1,500 if imported it could provide competition for the Shadow and Roland models, but detractors claim that it's not as expressive as (for instance) the newly-launched, £3,500 Stepp DG-1, which was on show privately to a selected few.
RSF marketed the excellent Kobol and PolyKobol synths and now have a sampling drum machine, the SD140. It holds 14 user sounds plus 14 built-in sounds, has 10 outputs, MIDI, velocity response and Yamaha-like styling using touch membrane switches. At about £900 if imported (Rod Argent's Keyboards already have the smaller RSF drum machines) it could compete with Casio's RZ-1 and E-mu SP-12.

Linford's progress
GREAT LINFORD Manor Studios, the new residential facility which is being set up in Milton Keynes by Harry Maloney, of Harry Maloney Management al acost of £2 1 /2 m is due to open its doors at the beginning of January.
The studio is set in aconverted 18th century manor house and has been designed by Andy Munro, of Munro Associates. The actual recording facility is the old ballroom and is being equipped with a56-channel SSL 4000E console.
The latest item on Maloney's shopping list is aMitsubishi X-850 digital multitrack which makes Great Linford Manor the second residential, alongside Jacobs in Surrey, to offer 32-track digital facilities.
He adds: "The studios will actually be ready for use in December, but we are taking the Christmas period to do a few sessions and make sure everything is working as it should. The official opening will take place in January. · EDEN STUDIOS is now on the lost leg of its rebuilding programme with work underway on a40h long live stone room above Studio Two for ambient recording.

'We have taken full advantage of the space available here to give clients lots more room to relax if they have a break from the studio," says Eden's co-owner Piers FordCrush.
Suffolk set
for action
PRODUCER JOHN Eden is all set to open o brand new
residential recording facility -- Brook House Studios -- near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk which should be operational
by the beginning of November. Eden, who began his career in the music industry 14
years ago as a tape op at Marquee, says one of his long-term ambitions has been to set up astudio but he has always held back until he could get the financial package
right. He says: "Over the years Ihave spent a lot of time in
other people's studios, especially residentials, and Ialways
felt Icould do something even better. With Brook House we have built the studio from scratch -- it is not a converted building but aproperly-designed facility which will aim to
capture the top end of the recording market."
Brook House has one large live studio and control room both of which hove natural light and look out over magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. There is also a
separate tape machine room. The residential facilities on offer include three bedrooms
on site with the option of staying at anearby country house
hotel. Eden explains: "The studio package will include food and
accommodation for five people -- for any more than five we will charge extra -- and the idea is to give clients the
choice of whether they stay here or at the hotel. The same applies to meals. We have three cooks, including one who specialises in Chinese and Indian food, and we also have an
arrangement with two local pubs who will provide threecourse meals if the band wants to get out for on evening."
Other facilities on offer at Brook House include acovered and heated swimming pool and alounge with satellite TV
and games. Leisure activities in the area include fishing,
gliding, riding, clay pigeon shooting and long country
walks.

London's finest recording studio complex
FOUR YEARS of intensive research and development combined with funding of £1.5m has culminated in adream come true for songwriter Stephen Randall with the launch at Mayfair Studios of DG 1 -- Digital Guitar One -- the first musical instrument to come out of the Stepp Design stable.
Stepp design was formed by Randall in 1982 to develop a totally electronic or 'digital' guitar which didn't have to be plugged into asynthesiser and had its own sound on board. As aguitar player Randall felt frustrated having to use keyboards to get the latest sounds and effects so he put together a team of technical, financial, marketing and design experts to come up with an instrument which gave the guitarist access to the sounds and technology only available to keyboard players. The result is DG 1, an entirely British production which Stepp claims is the world's first totally electronic guitar with an integral dedicated sound generation source.
The DG 1 comes in two main parts -- the guitar itself and the life support unit (LSU) which contains the synthesiser voice boards, power supply, communications interface and doubles as aguitar stand.
The Stepp team have achieved their design brief without using alien keytriggers or footpedals by applying guitar algorithms to sythesisers and combining this with an ADSM -- attack, decay, sustain, mute -- envelope. Stepp claims it has cut out the triggering delays which have plagued other attempts

at guitar controlled synthesis and that the DG 1is actually faster from plucking a string to producing o sound than a traditional electric guitar with pick-up.
The DG 1is designed to create acoustic and electric guitar sounds which can be synched and routed to produce totally new guitar sounds if that's what the ployer wants.
The synthesiser section is fully user programmable and features active performance software which allows the player to structure synth sounds to the way he or she plays. The DG 1has electronic frets
and three multiprocessor computers which detect all performance and routing information number crunching faster than any guitarist
can play. Because of its digital format Stepp claims the DG 1 con never go out of tune unless it is programmed to do so. It also gives
guitarists arange at eight octaves and tunings can be stored os part of apatch and recalled from any one of the guitar's 100 memories.
Throughout the project Stepp used ateam of guitarists to keep a check on how it played and how it felt to use the instrument. Special dense grainy foam plastics have been used to make the guitar feel like wood and it actually wraps around the player for comfort.
Stepp plans to introduce the DG 1in the UK before launching it on the rest of the world. It also plans to introduce new software and devices in the near future.
Since its formation in 1982 the company has diversified into a number of areas and has already been commissioned to lend its technological and design skills to other well-known brand names.

Society's sickle cell success spawns Summer album
GENETIC STUDIOS mini-pop festival which raised money for the Sickle Cell Society and OSCAR was such asuccess that the Genetic Operation is now considering holding another charity bash in the Reading area at Christmas.
The studio is still working out exactly how much was raised and a final tally won't be known until albums and videos recorded at the event are released.
Some 1,200 people attended the festival which also provided aplatform for unestablished bands to play in front of a reasonably large audience. Many of the bands were from the Reading area and included Plan 9, Dog'ouse, the Heartthrobs and Mournblade. Other bands who gave their services free were Merran, On The Air, The Members, Altered States, Fuzzbox and the Vindaloo Package, the Big Supreme and Hazel O'Connor.
Sue Laker, of Genetic, says: "We are planning to release an album of four of the local bands, for example Plan 9, Dog'ouse, the Heartthrobs and Altered States titled The English Summer Party. This will be put on sole locally on the Plan 10 label at approximately £1. The videos will be sold at £1 2-1 4."
Laker odds that many of the local firms who supported the event gave their services at cost or for nothing. People from the villages of Streatley and Goring were also keen to dip into their pockets in the aid of agood cause. gifi

TONY CLARK, the engineer behind the anti-smack project which was recorded at Abbey Road Studios last month, is still recovering from the marathon headache of organising the whole host of stars who took part.
Clark, who has just left EMI after 22 years with the company, says engineering the single Live-In-World was one of the hardest jobs he has ever had to do. But despite the problems he enjoyed every minute of it.
"I was called in to engineer because Ihave over 20 years experience," he says. "I had worked with alot of the artists before and that always helps. But apart from that Ijust love live occasions -- Ithrive on them -- and llove the feeling of
achievement at the end of the session." Along with everyone else, Clark gave his services free
because he feels so strongly about the damage drugs do to young people, and in particular about the damage it is causing the music industry.
He says: "The music industry is rife with drugs, which is why it was so great to get all those artists together doing something about the drug problem. That session was one of the craziest Ihave ever engineered. The control room was as chaotic as the rest of the building, but the lead vocalists gave everything they had, even for just one line of the song.

unsurprisingly no agreement was reached, ultimately leading us to the debut of a two-speed stereo DASH machine at IBC by Sony, with the switch estimated to account for some $8,000 of the machine's price. But that's unlikely to be the end of the story. As the pristine DASH decks were giving off their first few whiffs of warm circuitry, one of the principal arguments in favour of stereo DASH for broadcasters - and increasingly for recording studios dubbing pop videos - was virtually dismissed at IBC.
Up to now anybody dubbing PAL video has had problems synching the defocto CD standards of 1610 and 1630 U-Matic, because these were designed to operate with CD's NTSC framing rate from the outset, to avoid compatibility problems. That's why they've changed to Sony PCM Fl
By virtue of its consumer origins, the PCM Fl coder/ decorder was designed in both PAL (Europe's TV standard) and NTSC (US and Japan) so that it could work as ahi-fi add-on with Fl portable Betamox home movie machines around the world. The U-Matic transport is used by professionals to improve reliability, but what no-one's ever been happy about is that PCM F1 and its PCM 701 mains counterpart hove inferior error protection to 1610 let alone the enhanced 1630- which is hardly surprising. DASH has an available auxiliary track that could be used for adding a PAL timecoder.
But where others have failed, Sony has now succeeded in producing aunit that allows 1610 transports to be synchronised with PAL called the CSU 1620. Developed at Sony Broadcast labs in Basingstoke, the interface is derived from varispeed-mute disabling modules on the PCM 3324 DASH multi-track, and will cost around $3,500 to £4,000. A card version plugging in directly to 1610/30 mainframes is promised, and will ironically probably emerge at the some time as the two-speed otero DASH recorder.
Some doubt also surrounds the playing-time leverage stereo DASH was once thought to exert in the broadcast market; DASH can yield nearly three hours from a 12 1/7-

desks, and in any case it has been busy finishing a72-input wrap-around version for BBC TV. But, eight channels and all central functions were working under hard-disk memory control at IBC, demonstrating what Audix claims to be the most comprehensively automated assignable analogue mixing system, even up against the likes of Harrison Series 10 and Triad Di-An recording consoles.
The MIT-3000 console is a perfect example of the different attitudes between broadcasters and some recording studios to audio equipment. With no outside clients to impress, broadcasters want their consoles to be as simple and compact as possible -- contrasting to the miles of lights, buttons and panelling approach seen in many recording studios. Because the AAT-3000 uses an assignable central panel for all channel adjustments, the number of controls is drastically reduced. It's the same principle as the Neve DSP, but with the console controlling amuch smaller remote rack of analogue rather than digital signal electronics.
It also demonstrates a profound difference in technical requirements -- while automation in recording started off with stored fader levels, all the effort on the Audix console has gone on storing every console adjustment except the faders. In an obvious jibe at SSL, the firms calls this facility 'True Total Recall', because instead of comparing previous and current settings on ascreen for manual adjustment, the Audix desk resets all the controls including rotary pots automatically.
Broadcasters don't need fader automation because most of the time the output goes out either live or straight to tape. Indeed many would see the addition of such a facility to streamline mix-downs as aserious operational hazard for other work. But Audix plans to develop an enhanced system with fader level automation and plasma metering (rather than the needle and scale prevalent in broadcasting) within six months to a year from now, to address the upper echelons of the recording market. Audix quotes around £120,000 for a36-input desk as an example of costs.

More DASH for less .. Richard Dean looks at the new variations on DASH
WHILE DELEGATES dashed from one screenful of video effects and camera monitors to another at IBC, the audio star of the show was indeed DASH (Digital Audio Stationary Head) in its long-awaited 1 /2 -inch mastering version.
Prototype and pre-production 1/ 2 -inch DASH machines are nothing new to the seasoned show visitor, but IBC yielded some firm commitments from the main manufacturing partners Sony and Studer. Others backing the format, first presented ot the 1983 SMPTE in New York, ore Matsushita (better known as Panasonic and Technics in Europe, Quasar and National in the US) and Teac/Tascam.
According to distributors FWO Bauch, Studer's D820X stereo DASH recorder is now promised by the end of this year at aprice hovering around the £19,000 to £20,000 mark. This is the only DASH product announced so for by the Swiss tape machine supremos.
Meanwhile Sony, which has already achieved considerable success with its PCM 3324 DASH multi-track, unveiled the world's first two-speed DASH mastering machine. Unlike Studer's machine, which runs at aconstant 15 ips, the Sony PCM 3402 is switchable between 7i/2 and 15 ips. With delivery quoted around the time of the London AES in March, Sony reckons the machine, which follows the launch of separate PCM 3102 and PCM 3202 versions running at 71/ 2 and 15 ips respectively abut ayear ago, will cost in the region of $27,000 and incorporate a 16 M bit memory to allow two machines to perform electronic editing without additional controllers.
The announcements follow a long and often heated debate between Sony and Studer about the track layout and running speed of the putitive DASH mastering format, much of which centred around whether razor blades should be used for editing or not.
It all got so confusing that to his lasting credit Ed Masek, late of the APRS, gathered aforum of recording studio and broadcast engineers early last year to hear set pieces by Studer and Sony and voice their own preferences. Studer re-iterated its consistent view that the 15 ips 'twin DASH' format was superior to the original 71 /2 ips version -- of which Sony had already supplied several to the Japanese state broadcaster NHK for analysis -- because the duplication of data 200 bytes later along the tape allowed "more robust" razor editing, which was after all what engineers were used to.
A note from the US version of APRS, SPARS, was read out which pledged support for the higher speed primarily for this reason. With its experience of video and development of the DAE1100 editor for 1610 U-Matic, Sony felt that electronic editing was the modern answer for a new digital mastering format.
The few broadcasters present were impressed by the doubling of playing time and halving of tope costs which 71/2 ips would bring, and well acquainted with electronic editing, quite possible on Sony equipment. But studio managers were unmoved -- tape costs are passed onto clients, often at amodest profit.
Unsurprisingly no agreement was reached, ultimately leading us to the debut of a two-speed stereo DASH machine at IBC by Sony, with the switch estimated to account for some $8,000 of the machine's price. But that's unlikely to be the end of the story. As the pristine DASH decks were giving off their first few whiffs of warm circuitry, one of the principal arguments in favour of stereo DASH for broadcasters -- and increasingly for recording studios dubbing pop videos -- was virtually dismissed at IBC.
Up to now anybody dubbing PAL video has had problems synching the defacto CD standards of 1610 and 1630 U-Matic, because these were designed to operate with CD's NTSC framing rate from the outset, to avoid compatibility problems. That's why they've changed to Sony PCM Fi.
By virtue of its consumer origins, the PCM Fl coder/ decorder was designed in both PAL (Europe's TV standard) and NTSC (US and Japan) so that it could work as ahi-fi add-on with F1portable Betamax home movie machines around the world. The U-Matic transport is used by professionals to improve reliability, but what no-one's ever been happy about is that PCM F1 and its PCM 701 moins counterpart have inferior error protection to 1610 let alone
the enhanced 1630-- which is hardly surprising. DASH has an available auxiliary track that could be used for adding a
PAL timecoder. But where others have failed, Sony has now succeeded in
producing aunit that allows 1610 transports to be synchronised with PAL called the CSU 1620. Developed at Sony
Broadcast labs in Basingstoke, the interface is derived from varispeed-mute disabling modules on the PCM 3324 DASH multi-track, and will cost around $3,500 to £4,000. A card version plugging in directly to 1610/30 mainframes is promised, and will ironically probably emerge at the same
time as the two-speed stero DASH recorder. Some doubt also surrounds the playing-time leverage
stereo DASH was once thought to exert in the broadcast
market; DASH can yield nearly three hours from a 12 1 /2 -
inch tape running at 71/ 2 ips.
Sony's Mike Bennett admits that the principal market for stereo DASH will be the video duplication market, where a long-play high quality digital format is badly needed, adding that it's too early to tell what the reaction from studios will be to stereo DASH. The prognosis is not very encouraging -- so for neither of the fixed-speed PCM 3102 or PCM 3202 recorders have been sold in the UK.
Duplicators are currently using PCM Fl, driving aVHS transport. Given that this format produces 8-bits more resolution than any consumer video format with digital sound known to the world (ic Video 8), and that most of the world is actually listening not to digital soundtrack but the analogue 'Hi -Fi VHS' system if not humble linear edgetrocks, the motive for replacing PCM F1with stereo DASH also seems questionable on aquality basis.
As for studio applications, Tim Frost of Harman UK, the distributor for DASH allies Teac/Tascam who incidentally developed the U-Matic mechanism for Sony, is sceptical.
"I can't see any real application for stereo DASH in the studio," he says, quoting the present dominance of helical
formats like 1610. "Teac will enter the DASH market with multi-track," he says, "but not within the next year at least. By that time the pro version of R-Dot is likely to have made an impact. It will run at double the consumer-version speed to allow data to be repeated as with 15 ips twin-DASH, but has faster access and several other advantages."
Meanwhile, both Teac and Studer are keeping mum about what form their multi-track DASH machines will take. At least everybody is agreed about the tope speed this time. It will be 30 ips, as with the existing Sony PCM 3324. The question is how many tracks. The original standard allows not only for the 24 tracks of digital audio found on Sony's machine, but also a 48-track version by using thin-film heads -- which is where Motsushita's involvement comes in.
At the legendary APRS DASH forum, Studer's Dr Roger Lagadec (since departed to join Sony) revealed that Studer would prefer to offer 32 tracks and use the remaining eight for extra error protection -- which as far as anyone can make out remains the case. Such on option doesn't exist in the 1983 paper, so the format specification would hove to be re-written. But that's another story.

you converted it? "Originally, the front part of the building, which is now the restaurant ond bar area, was the very first silent movie cinema in London. In the 1880s, it was a magic lantern slide show emporium run by a Mr Wong, who later expanded it by constructing the
bulk of the building at the back, but his business apparently failed with the introduction of talkies, and it then became a billiard hall. Subsequent to that, it's been a photographic studio, and when I ran across it after searching for about a year and seeing 300 odd buildings in London, it was a rag trade
warehouse. The point about most disused cinemas in London, of which there are a lot, is that they're mostly very near tube lines, because that was the way cinemas were built, close to stations. Of course, that also often meant that the buildings had massive noise problems, but this place is acoustically sound from that point of view, because it's neither over a tube line nor too near an overground line, and there aren't too many things going on around it, which leaves the control room and the studio acoustically stable. It's also a very
substantial building, which made it a good prospect -- the walls are about 20 inches thick, which is the way Victorians did their building."
Being so old, wasn't there a lot of time and expense in removing rubbish and so on which had accumulated over the years? "One of the beauties of it was that there wasn't much to remove, it was just a clear space with lots of height, so all we had to do was to pour a frightening amount of concrete on the floor and build a few brick walls. The speed with which it was done was quite amazing. We started construction on August 1 1985, the desk was put in on December 9, and the rest of the equipment was installed over the Christmas period and into January. The first session in here was on January 27 this year, and that proving session involved Cliff Richard, Hank Marvin and The Young Ones making Living Doll.

manufacturers as those already mentioned, Master Rock also provides some unlikely accessories. "As well as Quested monitors, the usual complement of AMS reverbs and digital delays, Lexicons and so on, there are some nice touches and some of what might be called audio antiques -- things like volve Neumann mics, Pultec equalisers and old EMT volve reverb plates. It's almost as though the antiques are the items we're trying to grab! The SSL sounds very modern, but maybe lacks some at the warmth, which is why we're talking directly to Rupert Neve about outboard EQ modules which can be retrofitted inside the SSL, literally to get warmth bock. We're also investigating valve microphone amplifers -- more antiques, because there are new and old approaches, and a combination of the two can work. Obviously going for sophisticated automation makes the studio
run efficiently, but we also go for older things which have a nice sound, so we're looking for the best of botl-i worlds.
The major selling points of Master Rock are atmosphere and approach -- every major studio in London has basically the some equipment, so what you have to provide in addition to aprofessional service is a great working environment and a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere."
On the non-technical side, Master Rock has also carefully considered its approach. "The things which makes a studio successful concerns the booking process, the acquisition of time, and that's under the direct control and supervision of our studio manageress, Suzi Wilson. We have a fully operational 24 hour restaurant and bar facility within the building, and a lot of thought and energy has gone into developing that area and the
places which can be used for recreational purposes, so that there are separate places where people can relax and enjoy the environment they're in when they're not working. In fact, this is the only studio in London with a genuine French chef, Benjamin."
A word here from the hack -- lunch at Master Rock consisted of salmon and two veg cooked nouvelle cuisine style, with ice cream and coffee to follow. Very nice, thank you, Benjamin.
'The object of our emphasis on the non-recording areas being equal to that on the recording rooms was to make this place fairly civilised. You can't sur-vive just in a studio and control room and work effectively, and we also cater very flexibly, from the vegetarian group who don't eat meat to the gourmet producer who'll be upset by the

More than just an old place to practise
by Richard Dean
ACCORDING TO popular rockfile and anecdotal legend, there was once a time when bands basically practised on the road. The small provincial gigs at the start of atour were an ideal place to rehearse for main venues where the press and the TV cameras would be lurking -- with any luck. Even recording decisions would be based on audience response. It was an important process for gauging feedback from the public, and customising style and repertoire to suit -- backed up by the odd disused warehouse for really raw work-outs.
So much for the last two decades. Music has since returned to the home, but now with reproduction technology like hi-fi and video replacing Grandma's memories of a piano singalong. Whatever this says about social trends it's a foregone conclusion that bands need some other way to perfect an act. By the same token, audiences expect the finesse of recordings or the spectacle of an expensively produced video on stage. It all adds up to aneed for rehearsal facilities which in both time and complexity would have been regarded as way over the top less than ten years ago.
Hardly surprising then that the upper echelons of music talent hire an entire 1,750-

THE STUDIOMASTER 12M MONITOR MIXING CONSOLE
This exciting new mixing console from Studiomaster gives the smaller bands and PA. companies the opportunities to possess monitoring facilities and sound quality previously beyond their means.
The 12M comes as standard in 24-12 format but the flight case in which it is supplied has provision for a further

The 12M has too many features to list here, but they are all to achieve the some result. total sound control of avery high standard. In particular. Studiomaster's acclaimed EQ facilities have been expanded up to FOUR bands on the inputs and the output 4-band EQ has FULL-PARAMETRIC mid-bands. The flexibility of this EQ con even render outboard graphics unnecessary.
Studiomaster have positively attacked the problem of feedback with onumber of features which will eliminate it
at the desk: every input channel has a notch filter which.
by turning on infinitely variable rotary control, will cut the feedback frequency with a very narrow "notch" in the
frequency response. Also. "Q" control on the output equalisation can be used to create another notch filter effect.
Input and output connections are XLR type. All inputs
are electronically balanced, high impedance for minimum interaction with the front-of-house desk. The inputs also have a parallel out socket. The outputs are unbal-
anced, low impedance with a transformer option for complete ground isolation.
A 12 segment display on every channel, combined with the built in monitor output (for headphone or amplifier listening) allows the monitor engineer to constantly check
the mixes he creates. The 12M also has a talkback system which allows him to communicate with the artists on stage,
particularly useful during soundchecks. The 12M is not only electrically superb; the chassis is
built with quality materials and careful consideration of the ergonomic aspect has resulted in a logical channel layout which combined with detented rotary controls and 100mm ALPS master faders makes for confident, precise
adjustments
With all these features and versatility though, the 12M is still very affordable State-of-the-art design has made it possible to offer no-compromise performance at a price which puts it in reach.

Ezee's studio three is by far the
alternative and these were the best. They have parametrics on all outputs which avoids the need for
most popular room because it is large enough for bands to check out lighting equipment and even
build ostage. The 65' 35' studio is permanently linked to the recording studio and this has led to same interesting projects over recent months.
Oakes says: 'We did the Pretty Things live album in there and also the Capital Radio Sunsplash record for Island. Because of its size the studio tends to be used for big projects such os the rehearsals for the Time musical. That was quite aproject -- we had to provide alot of microphones, alot of monitors and plenty of filter coffee! On the last day they were here they did afull dress rehearsal with the entire cast.
"Studio three has also been used for video productions, although the equipment is not supplied by us. We hired out the room for the Topper Headon video and for the Simon Kirke production and on each occasion the video production company brought is own equipment. But we will arrange lighting for artists that want it -- the high ceilings in three make it ideal for pre-tour lighting rehearsals and for lighting showcase demonstrations."
Apart from studio three, Ezee has two 33' x26' rooms, one 35' X 30' room and one which is 27' x 27'. For acentral London facility Ezee has excellent parking with a 15,000 sq ft parking area which is large enough to take the artics needed for loading and unloading equipment. The studios are all separately alarmed which gives bands the flexibility to use them 24 hours aday, every day, if required. The alarm is automatically set as soon as the band locks the studio door.
Lock-up facilities are also avail able, but Oakes adds that these tend to get booked up well in advance with bands wanting longterm storage. Ezee will also arrange backline hire. Oakes says: "Given half an hour's notice we can get pretty much anything from a Fairlight Ill to a drum kit. We have good relationships with the hire companies and it is rare that we experience any problems. And if the worst happens, we also have someone on site who can service and repair equipment."

useful addition." Backstreet is one of London's
newest rehearsal complexes. It started out 18 months ago on the site of an old bakery. "When we took this premises over it was abit of adump," says Dallygon. "But we have totally refurbished it and got rid of all the dirt and muck. It is now o great place to work -- clean, comfortable and professional."
The complex offers four rehearsal rooms -- three large and one small. Each room is equipped with Carlsboro PA and Showe and Audio Teknik microphones. Backstreet also hires out drums and amplifiers, including HH and Fender, to bands lacking in equipment.
Recent clients hove ranged from top class professional bands such as Bad Manners, Light A Big Fire, Eric Robinson and The Gems to local semi-professional bands. Dallygon says: "About 70 per cent of our clients ore local bands and 30 per cent are professionals booked in by record companies. One of our sidelines is organising shows at which local bands who use the rehearsal studios regularly get a chance to showcase their material to the public. So far we have organised three at the Bull And Gate at Kentish Town and we hope to do more."
Alongside the rehearsal studios, Backstreet offers refreshments and snacks, good parking facilities and alock-up service for bands wanting to store equipment. A repair engineer is on site all day and there is also a video facility for bands wanting to record sessions.
"The atmosphere here is great," enthuses Dallygon. 'We get bands
sitting around swapping notes which can be fairly lively. Since we opened, business has been increasing very rapidly and we now find alot of clients are becoming regulars because they like the atmosphere."
Backstreet is open seven days a week from 10am to 11 pm.
ACORN
ACORN REHEARSAL studios which provides two well-equipped rooms for bonds of all shapes and sizes has recently spread its wings with the addition of a 16 track recording studio and control room.
Acorn, based in Hackney, London, felt the introduction of a recording facility was anatural progression. It has now installed an Allen & Heath Brennel Syncon B 32 channel, 24 bus in-line console, Lexicon PCM 70, Deltalab digital delay line, Lexicon Querty keyboard and various other signal processing equipment plus Rogers monitoring and Quad 405s.
The studio is large enough to take 15 musicians and Acorn feels it is ideal for live or direct-to-digital recording, giving clients the flexibility of a 24 track through its large number of studio inputs combined with 32 channels, sequencing and signal processing but at the price of a 16 track
Not content with this latest expansion, Acorn is also planning to open two more rehearsal studios to back up its current facilities which include one room with a Mitec 16 channel desk and another room equipped with aHH
six-channel desk. Acorn, which boasts among its
clients The Boomtown Rats and Eric Burden, also provides ahigh quality music mastering facility at aprice that most musicians and independent record companies can afford. It also puts a lot of emphasis on getting the atmosphere right and making the clients feel comfortable and at home.
Other services on offer include an eight track recording facility for demos, PA hire, production, tour management and equipment hire on request.
A spokesman for Acorn says: "The recording studio has now been running for a couple of months and it is proving very popular. Bands can now come here to rehearse and then go straight through to the main studio when they feel they are ready. We have been having a particulary busy time over the last few months with all sorts of clients wanting to use our facilities."

CLINK
CLINK REHEARSAL Complex, which gets its name because it is located in a one-time Dickensian debters prison, is planning to acquire another 4,700 sq ft in the building so that it can develop its business.
Future plans include opening o fourth studio which will serve os the exclusive London retail outlet for Dynacord and other professional equipment. By 1987 it intends to have its retail 'appointment only' outlet running, plus an off-line

three machine U-matic editing suite linked to a 16-track demo studio. There is also talk of ahigh quality, high speed cassette duplication plant which will enable clients to make good quality recordings of their rehearsals with cassettes available the same day.
The complex offers three studios all fitted with Dynacord 1k rigs including Dynocord powered mixers, a Dynacord DRP16M 16 memory digital reverb and a Dynacord DOL. There is also a 12 channel Yamaha desk for submixing onto cassette and 'A" twotrack. Yamaha analogue delays and Roland space echos are also available on request.
Studios one and three have solid brick stages while the baby -- studio two -- has a mirrored wall and apartially mirrored ceiling.
Clink has a wide range of equipment for hire -- including two Dynocord electronic drum kits -- which are on site at all times. They also have o library of over 100 drum sounds for clients to choose from.
Clink also offers MIDI guitar and bass amplification using the Dynacord Reference Series combos and stacks. These hove programmable EQ, compression and reverb settings which can be recalled instantly via any MIDI keyboard or guitar synthesizer. The complex is currently installing MIDI patch systems with wall boxes in each studio which will be linked to a master MIDI computer.
Other services offered by the complex include equipment storage, a bar serving hot and cold snacks, video games, TV and video. The emphasis is on friendly service and Clink has apermanent staff of 10 which includes engineers who will carry out servicing and repairs.
The complex is open 24 hours a day and, despite its policy of confidentiality regarding clients, word has leaked out that recent artists using the London Bridge premises have included Pet Shop Boys, It Bites and The Blow Monkeys.
BLACKBORD
BLACKBORD REHEARSAL Complex started life four years ago as one studio which was rented out during the day while work on three other studios continued all night.
Four years on and the scene is certainly different. Apart from the original four rooms, which are in the basement of the London Bridge premises, owner Chris Horbord has now opened aplush ground floor
BLACKBORD'S STUDIO One
studio which is larger and aimed firmly at the top end of the market.
Harbord says: "Our original studios cater for bonds on a tight budget. The equipment is good, the rooms -- though small -- are clean and comfortable and the service is friendly and professional.
"Blackbord has always been happy with these rooms, but we found bands which had rehearsed here over the years were moving away when they became bigger because management and record companies felt they could afford more expensive facilities. With that in mind we decided to build amore professional studio and Studio One is the result."
The 500 sq ft Studio One was opened earlier this year and is equipped with a 2000 watt foldback system with aSoundcraft 16 channel desk, HH/Aces amps and DDL/Reverb.
The four basement studios ore comprehensively equipped -- the list includes an RSD 12-2 mixer, a C&M 6-2 mixer, o Peavey 6-2 mixer-amp and on HH 6-2 mixer amp -- with two natural rooms, one live and one dead.
Other facilities at Blackbord include backline hire including Marshall, Roland, Fender and Gretsch, off-street loading, storage facilities, private parking, aretail facility for smaller items and a refreshments counter.
'We aim to offer efficient budget priced service and good facilities," adds Blackbord. "I set very high standards for my staff because Ibelieve the client comes first."

spare cash in home recording set-
ups which give them the flexibility
to work when they choose.
One of the latest artists to join
the likes of Hank Marvin, Peter
Gabriel and Paul Hardcastle in set-
ting up home studios is Tom Robin-
son who recently completed his
latest album Still Loving You, which
was recorded in the basement
facility at his mews house in Ham-
mersmith.
Robinson says he works an the
Mini Metro principle, using tried

knows will give good returns on his
investment. His studio has aprofes-

He says: "I was prompted to set up astudio here because the cost of hiring a professional studio keeps going up. Idon't object to that, because studios charge afair price for what you get, but with the cost of equipment coming down I felt it would make economic sense to set up my own facility.
"The other main advantage is that it allows me to be more creative. If you have amad idea during recording and you know it would cost you another £90 to explore that idea in aprofessional studio, the chances are you just won't bother. But here Ican be much more painstaking and check out any idea, no matter how long it takes, because it doesn't cost me any more."

Robinson feels the most vital component in his studio is his engineer Nick Godfrey, who came from Red Bus to help him set up the room and worked with him on the album. He says: "I was really lucky to have Nick working here because he knows so much. Icouldn't have produced the album myself without Nick acting as technical expert. Isometimes let the place out to friends but they prefer it if he is around to help sort out any problems."

REWIND
As today's highly sophisticated audio world moves forward with an increasing momentum, Studio Week turns back the pages of its archives to highlight some important -- and some not so important -- developments of yesteryear.
1 October 1976 (10 Years Ago)
Opening of Utopia Studio by Phil Wainman. Advertisers in opening supplement include Eastlake, Neve and Studer ...

Recording of debut album of new group Sioux in Essex House Studio halted through flooding ... Amonth of all-change in the world of chart toppers -- in Americo, Frampton Comes Alive displaced at the head of the album chart by Stevie Wonder's Songs In The Key Of Life, while US top single is AFifth Of Beethoven by Walter Murphy &the Big Apple Band, replaced by Disco Duck by Rick Dees &His Cast Of Idiots, itself replaced by If You Leave Me Now by Chicago ... Also movement in Britain -- No. 1 albums during the month are Best Of The Stylistics Vol.2, Abba's Greatest Hits, Stupidity by Dr. Feelgood and aK-Tel compilation, Soul Motion ... Singlewise in Britain, Abba's Dancing Queen supplanted mid-month by Mississippi by Dutch group Pussycat.

Charlie Barrett, studio coowner, says: 'We get agood mixture of bands here. During the day it is usually professional clients who have been booked in by their record companies, but during the evenings and at weekends we get alot of local bands who just want top quality rehearsal facilities."
The three studio rehearsal complex is separate to Terminal's 24 track recording studio, although Barrett adds that there is often a cross-over with bands booked in to the recording studio using the rehearsal facilities first for preproduction.
"It tends to work in that direction rather than rehearsal studio clients moving on to record here," he adds.
Rehearsal studio one is a 16 channel 20' x 30' 500w room with AlteciRSD. Studio two is a12 channel 20' x 30' 500w room with Gauss, Crown and RV, while studio three is aI6channel 25' x 35' IKw room with Gauss, ATC, Studiomoster and Crown plus full length mirrors and sprung floor.
Barrett adds: 'We offer clients a complete service and good sound from top quality professional equipment. We also run'on equipment hire service with a good selection of backline from most of the well-known manufacturers available for hire at very reasonable rates."
The equipment hire package includes Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Fender, Peavey and Trace-Elliot amplifiers, Yamaha DX7, Roland JX3P and various other keyboards,

of this world are the most beneficial thing that's ever happened to the record business in terms of talent searching, and they don't seem to mind passing on acts to major companies."
The Bible came to Chrysalis via Backs Records in Norwich, as
songwriting contracts which included Carlin, Francis Day and Hunter (now EMI Music).
After graduation Slater became apromotion man at CBS, with very little knowledge of what the job involved but the certainty that he wanted to work on the "other side" of the record business. His DJ'ing work, he feels, had given him more knowledge of "the grass roots feel of what really sells", not what the record companies try to sell to the public, but "the genuine nonhyped side of things".
Spending a lot of time on the road and seeing so many bands has also been valuable, and all these experiences have helped in his A&R approach of "getting an emotional feel for what you really like.
Stuart reflects, it's much easier to produce your own record with excellent packaging now than in the days when he was playing. Good packaging and an unusual band picture or bio can catch the eye of the A&R department, but "at the end of the day it's what's on the tape that counts. Songs, energy of some kind, and vocal individuality are important, and I'll always veer toward agood singer and agood song, hopefully with some sort of modern contemporary framework. Better still is someone who's trying to stretch out and do something different, unlike anything else but still commercial, and that's what happened when Paul Hordcastle brought 19 to us."
Slater was in the publishing division of the Chrysalis group for
"You get to rely on your gut feeling or instincts, on chemistry, and somehow you know what makes one band better than another," claims Slater.
Having enjoyed his promotional work he then went into publishing with ATV Music for six years, dur-, ing which time they had hits with Barry Blue and Lynsey de Paul, as well as Alan Tarney who wrote We Don't Talk Any More for Cliff Richard and later produced A-Ha, and who remains aclose friend.
some years and Hardcastle was his first album deal signing after taking over the A&R office.
"I nearly did fall of my seat then, because the sound collage combined with the dance feel was very different -- Ifound it quite moving, and in all honesty Ididn't know whether it would sell or not, ljust thought it was agreat work of art -- but we ended up selling five
million singles. "More recently I've liked The Bi-
ble very much. Ithink they have the
"If there's one thing I'm proud of
that is an aspect of all the facets of my experience, it's being able to
spot a hit song. Ilisten to the
melody and the chords, and I admire someone who can write something different -- but Idon't
listen to very much at any one time, because you can become jaded."
potential to write an absolutely classic song, and there are very few writers of today who could do that. In some cases we do need to mould either the image or the music of some of the artists -- there hasn't been acommon thread running through Paul Hardcastle's singles which would lead you to think that he'd sell alot of albums, and we need to find a way to make the best of his talent.
"Conversely, we signed Ten Ten from Richmond, Virginia, a fabulous looking group who play really well and are a very exciting live rock band. But we made a first album and the reaction we've had made us think that the material needed alot of work. We're going to spend a lot of time demoing them, thinking about using cowriters and different producers -- but a band has to have a little gumption themselves, because you con only talk to them, and you have to rely on them having the intelligence and the spunk to go out and write adevastating song."
Like many other A&R directors, Slater feels he should deal objectively with his bands.
'We work best with bands like The Mighty Lemon Drops, whose managers throw out ideas all the time about producers and packaging, but our experience lets us decide which of those are good ideas. The strongest card in our hand is that we have avery small roster -- we've got 16 album acts -- and we have four full-time A&R nsen, so we can spend alot of time with each act. Also we've had a policy of working with outside people involved in talent searching, and starting "cosmetic" labels such as the Blue Guitar label through which acts are signed directly to
The Housemariins, for instance, came to Chrysalis through Andy McDonald and Go! Discs -- "but they're very much part of Chrysalis, and produced by John Williams who's in A&R with us here. It's another string to our bow, like En-
The "A&R sieve" at Chrysalis, with two talent spotters filtering material through to the A&R men and eventually to Slater, makes sure this doesn't happen, but he feels that there are only a few songs such as Graceland by The
Bible which he'd take home and listen to. Tapes come in via anetwork of local agents, managers pnd studios, and it's relatively rare aoftrenotinon.unsolicited tape to gain

sign Records which got us The Waterboys, who Ithink will become one of the biggest acts in the world over the next two years."
The hard work side of A&R is with studios and producers though.
"I have no personal preferences about studios, we sit round this table with the producer and an act and 99 times out of 100 we go where the producer wants to go, because if we didn't like an album, and we'd foisted astudio onto him he'd soy that he told us so! Budget is difficult -- we do set budgets on every album we make and recording is very expensive now, but you have to follow your gut feeling. No-one ever bought arecord because it came in on budget.
"Slater anew act called Living In A Box we wanted to use Richard Burgess to produce, but he's in the States to get his green card, so we sent the band to Galaxy in LA for 12 weeks. It cost an awful lot of money, but we're thrilled with what they've done, so we're prepared to spend."
Slater maintains that more "English-sounding" acts can have relatively inexpensive albums made -- for instance at Spaceward in Cambridge where The Bible recorded. Non-SSL recording with SSL mixing is the vogue now, "but the most important thing is for artists and producers to be happy, and if that means an expensive
NOVEMBER 86
studio ... I'm sure we've used them all at one time or another."
CD has been an important influence on Slater's approach, both in terms of his listening habits and his aims for the artists.
"The bonds where we believe we've got an international album like Art Of Noise need that level of quality, and Iwant to be able to put our albums on CD up against Tears For Fears or Madonna and feel that they still sound absolutely beautiful. The young rock and roll bands are still more energy-related than sound-related, but CD is o very fast-developing market and I find it apleasure to make and listen to professionally produced and engineered records made with CD in mind.
"I think there will be alot more very successful, mature records now that CD is important -- Istill want the'next young, exciting rock bands as well, but there's awhole set of bands who are ready to go mega-CD. People who were only buying acouple of records ayear are now buying CDs, and that must be agood thing for the business -- it's a bonus, not something that's taking away from the kids or the singles buyers. So CD quality does come into our minds, and we are prepared to spend money on studio time to make things sound brilliant."
Does Slater feel that much has changed in the A&R business in his six years with Chrysalis?
"I still find the ability to sign an act very exciting, and Idon't expect the nature of the job to change very much. We'll still be out there listening to bands and playing tapes five years from now -- but six or seven years ago there was more hot talent in the sense that you'd go to aSpandau Ballet or o Special gig when the place was packed, you'd sign them and put arecord out which would be a hit within three or four months.
"But, in 1986 not a lot of hot new bands are coming up -- instead people who believe in acts are beavering away behind the scenes making more and more demos and records, which must be good for the studios!
"There are always some years that are hotter than others -- but t do believe Chrysalis has a great talent-searching net, and if it's out there, we'll find it."

thing of an incident concerning a second encore and they didn't play a recognisable version of Blue Monday, but the recent hit was in there, as were older crowd pleasers.
Taken as a whole, though, the concert did tend towards the one dimensional. It's fine to use the existing foundations of asong, and then build round the frame, but some of the rhythmic experiments became cluttered, while abrief visit to the tough world of muscular disco was close to disaster.
Audience interest paled, only to be revived by Barney Sumners' gaunt guitar. Indeed his playing was afrequent highlight, saving the lost moments of the often swamped vocals. Peter Hook's bubble boss earned its crust, but it was the dominant guitar that really took most accolades. Is this not dangerously evocative of another age and another field of music?
Good in bits, astonishingly so, but overall aslight disappointment. As the true indie survivors, one of the few bands to continue with the
THE STAGE set for Iron Maiden's latest UK tour is the most remarkable Ihove ever seen. Unveiled before British fans at Oxford Apollo, it surpasses even the 12-feet tall headbanging Egyptian mummy that graced the bond's last concert round.
What starts the evening as a simple gantry and catwalk ends it as a monstrous representation of band mascot Eddy The Head; drummer Nicko McBrain finishes 20 feet in the air perched atop his head and Bruce Dickinson and Steve Harris complete their night's
work held in Eddy's outstretched hands above the audience.
Combine that visual poke in the eye with music-with-muscles in the shape of Iron Maiden, Number Of The Beast and Run To The Hills and it's not surprising the bond have sold out everywhere, including five nights at Hammersmith Odeon.
The show, though, is somewhat slow starting. Unfamiliar material from the new album, Somewhere In Time, and slower, older numbers

AFTER A depressing Sunday, Jackson Browne carne as an unlikely but pleasant surprise. His introspective romantic songs of more than a decode ago were the soundtrack for much hippie romance and a glance at the audience on the final night of his week at Hammersmith Odeon confirmed that the peace and lovers of the early Seventies remembered.
Backed by a tight five piece band, Browne paid most attention to his latest Elektra LP, Lives In The Balance, which he presented with the help of on often effective back projected slide show. It's his best album since he forsook publicising his personal angst (at which he surely remains amaster) for quasipolitical songs, which no doubt reach awider audience now that they're fully realised, which they weren't on albums like Hold Out and Lawyers In Love.
Even though few examples of his early work were played, the applause from the sold-out crowd for Late For The Sky, For Everyman etc, lasted longer than for even the most worthy of current songs like Candy, Lawless Avenue, Till IGo Down or the current single, In The Shape Of A Heart.
It was an example of the older generation at amajor gig for once being treated as if the music to which they were listening was more important than the haircuts of the performers, and surely there are many of Browne's contemporaries who could do equally well during this in between era.

INDIES
RACKING
by Dave Henderson
ANA! Here we are again and here come The Form on Fire. Their Pastures Old And New features the up and down lives and larynx's of the Liverpool outfit over 13 tracks, some of which are produced by Suggs. Ace left field dance stuff, through Nine Mile and the Cartel ... There's much ado about Robyn Hitchcock And The Egyptians yet again and the Glass Fish label celebrates this with anew album from Rob called Element Of Light, and just about his best to date it is, too ... Neat packaging for a debut pop tone from A-Pop. Wispy electronics called Art Of Persuasion point at the charts and are on Jungle through the Cartel. THERE'S Aresurgence in interest in The Nocturnal Emissions as the artistically correct Touch organisation (you'll find them through
THE TURNCOATS: raucous four track 12 incher. Rough Trade and the Cartel) rerelease their Drowning In ASea Of Bliss LP as a rather nifty cassette package ... The Emissions' own Sterile Records, through Red Rhino and the Cartel, has avery interesting album from the horribly named Controlled Bleeding. Headcrock is actually arather listenable collection of orchestral based instrumentals. Very pleasant ... A good one from Belgium's Antler label (through Red Rhino and the Cartel here), is A Split Second's 12 inch Burn Out. Good electronic dancefloor stuff with aneat talkover. Sex music for supportive foottappers.
FROM HEMEL Hempstead come The Red on Lost Moment. With a fast and slow side on show, these post-rock-punk-and-new-wave popsters drum up adecent enough
noise. A&R people beware ... And, then there was The Turncoats. Their Motor Ball Me',beat four track 12 inch on Noiseanoise is the kind of raucous din that'll gain late night airplay and impress opunter or two. It's through Rough Trade and the Cartel.
MUCH FURTHER afield is Wes
McGhee who has Zacatecas, a
bronenew album of South Texas
Music, released on the Charly sub-
sidiary TRP. Meanwhile, back in
your wildest nightmares, LeLu/
Lu's, that annoying combo from
Blackpool, release their first UK 45
Africa on Possum through the Car-
tel. They also claim to have recent-
ly appered on The Archers (No
way, mate
OVE) ... Furth-
ermore, dangerous news from The
Enid. Their recent compilation,
lovers And Fools on Dojo, is to be
followed by their cover of The
Small Faces' Itchycoo Park on
Sedition (both through Pinnacle),
then their whole back catalogue (a
mere 10 LPs) will resurface via
Pinnacle.
STRIKE BACK, the label which unleashed Ledernacken, have a new signing. Land Of Distraction will be enticing worldwide sales for the label with their debut single Distraction ... Refocusing, we have an up-coming Belgian band The Masai whose self-titled mini-album and 7 inch single You're The One can be found on Antler through Red Rhino and the
Cartel here in BTighty ... Back with What Goes On, The Died Pretty release apretty powerful LP, Free Dirt, through Rough Trade and the Cartel. Let me tell you, sounding like The Mollies, mid-period Flying Burrito Brothers and Crosby, Stills, Nash And Julian Cope all on one track isn't easy. And, that's less than the half of it.
STILL, there's metal. And, Music For Nations wades in this week with Look What The Cat Dragged In by Poison and American Christians with silly trousers Stryper on To Hell With The Devil ... In Brighton, there's The Sound Asleep. Their debut single I'm Cold Outside on Vinyl Solution is beaty stuff that deserves closer scrutiny ... Oh, and there's, er, rock too from Music For Notions with the proper UK debut LP From The Creek (selftitled). A cult US band, they're in the AOR vein and were formerly known as Sugarcreek. So there.
STILL ROCKABILLYIN' (and pounding Indian drums and having o throat infection similar to Joe Strummer), Finnish people L'Amourder have a six track mini-roll, Ritual, on Fun After All through Pinnacle. The seven(?) Deadly Finns will also be touring soon with New Model Army ... Now, this is aclassic, L'Orchestre "Barn" de Grand Mustapha International Party, who are presented by 3 Mustaphas 3, have an excellent LP of Local Music featuring all the best things to come from East/West/For East detente. It's on Globestyle through the Ace axis. Woh.
FROM THEIR Sleepless album on What Goes On (through Rough Trade and the Cartel), Ups And Downs release a decent-plus 12 inch called The Living Kind. Fuelled by jangle-toned guitar licks and haunting harmonies -- in another world it could be a hit ... And, hallelujah, as The Famous Potatoes unleash their good time singalong tunes to vinyl courtesy of Waterfront Records. The black plastic in question is the 14 track debut album from the group entitled The Sound Of The Ground ... Farther down the road, we have a new 12 inch from Hula. Mean and moody, light and bluesy, Black Wall Blue catches the crew midway through ofresh change. Their next LP is a concept opus taken from a soundtrack for on instalotion while their next single is produced by the ubiquitous Daniel
Miller- (Thinks: This is their best and most evocative for some time. Neat. Of Course, it's on Red Rhino through the Cartel) ... Radical Dance have a 45, too. On Bite Back Records, their Rhino Skin is well worth catching (through Backs and the Cartel).

Cello travels with Julian Lloyd Webber
by Nicola Soames
THE CROSSOVER career of cellist Julian Lloyd Webber continues with the second volume of Travels With My Cello, titled Encore, and he is joined not only by the forces of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, but also Vangelis and Swedish guitarist Sven-Bertil Taube.
The first volume of Travels is currently approaching 25,000 sales. This follow-up contains a similar variety of classical and popular tunes, shown by the juxtaposition of Mozart's Rondo a lo Turk, on arrangement of the Bea-
tles' When I'm 64, Bach's Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring and Bernstein's Somewhere.
Vangelis' contribution comes with Une Après-Midi, not aversion of Debussy's famous tone poem, but his own composition especially written for Lloyd Webber.
Encore (416 698 CD/tape/LP), is being supported by the paperback version of Travels With My Cello, the book written by the cellist to coincide with the release of the first album.
It will be followed by another Philips crossover release early next year, Variations.
Decca goes soprano
Dorati 80th celebrations
THE 80TH birthday of the distinguished Hungarian-born conductor Antal Dorati was marked by Philips last week with the release of two of his classic recordings for the Mercury Golden Label on CD -- and the formal presentation of the recording of oboe works composed by Dorati himself.
His recording of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture and Beethoven's Wellington's Victory made as long ago as 1959 with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra remains
much in demand -- which will no doubt carry over into the CD world (416 448-2).
And his recording of Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances, made with the Philharmonic° Hungarica (416 496-2) has also shown reliable sales despite dating from the Sixties.
Although an octogenerian, Dorati is still actively recording throughout the world and retains an alert observer and an entertaining speaker.
THE IMAGINATIVE, yet unusual combination of three totally different sopranos makes Decco's premiere recording of Handel's oratorio Athalia one of the most interesting of the month.
The operatic star Joan Sutherland (above), leading early music soprano Emma Kirkby and the most famous boy soprano Aled Jones all sing in Athalia, with the early music instruments of the Academy Of Ancient Music directed by Christopher Hogwood.
"People forget that the first records Joan Sutherland made for Decal back in the Fifties were of Handel arias," explains Hogwood.
She carne to the recording sessions not only knowing her part and the parts of others intimately, but also with some extremely perceptive questions about the dramatic interpretation."
And how did Miss Sutherland, more accustomed to the full string section of amodern orchestra, respond to the environment of old instruments? "Let's be honest dear," she said. "I am a bit of an old instrument myself."
The recording (417 126 CD/ tape/LP) was the first made for many years without Sutherland's husband, Richard Bonynge, con ducting.

· DESPITE SALES approaching
one million, DG's Walkman tape
series continues to grow -- portly as a response to public enquiries for more long-play programmes -- with 10 more titles this month.
They include more popular music by Mozart -- the Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola coupled with some of the Divertimentos (419 388) and Schubert's Symphonies Nos 5 and 9 (419 389).
But the range covered continues to be broad, with a couple of opera topes -- Strauss: Great Scenes from Salome, Der Rosenkavalier, Ariadne ouf Naxos (419 393) and a second volume from the Cambridge Buskers' repertoire, Classic Street Music (419 396).

Loch praises Dickins' UK quality turnaround
Celebrating 15 years since the WEA family of labels was brought under one banner, WEA International chairman Nesuhi Ertegun told the 500 company delegates in Montreux: "We've never been this close, we've never been this strong." David Dalton reports from the European leg of the first ever Starforce Roadshow on some of the product and artists that will be keeping WEA strong over the next few months.
IN HIS opening address Siggi Loch president of WEA Europe praised the efforts of UK chairman Rob Dickins' team, saying: 'We have seen a tremendous turnaround in the UK."
That turnaround was underlined by the quality of pre-Christmas product showcased in oslick video presentation of UK-originated product togged The Soho File, in which a "spy" from a rival major supposedly stole the secret Artists File from the London office.
Those artists highlighted on the tape were Hollywood Beyond
(Colour Of Money/No More Tears), Red Box (For America), Girl Talk (Falling For You), Jeb Million (Speed Up My Heartbeat), The Perils Of Plastic (Womanhood), Wayne Foote (Uncool), Virginia Astely (Some Small Hope, with David Sylvion), Fuzzbox (Love Is The Slug), Everything But The Girl (Don't Leave Me Behind), Levi jeans commercial star Nick Kamen (Each Time You Break My Heart, produced by Madonna), Little Richard (Operator), Howard Jones (Will You Still Be There on WEA Music Video/All IWant -- the sing-
A RED London bus, specially transported to Montreux, and distinctive outfits helped the UK team make the right impact at the first Starforce Roodshow.
WEA/MCA: marriage going well
LIKENING A licensing arrangement to o marriage, president of MCA International Lou Cook said that MCA and WEA hod gone through "a rough honeymoon", but he stressed that the international arrangement (which does not include the UK) was now working well.
So is the record company as a whole, such that the performance in the fourth quarter of 198 6will
match that for the whole of 1984, he said, adding that the UK company had returned to profitability.
The MCA product line-up was recently showcased at the cornpony's UK sales conference (MW, October 4), but vice president Stuart Watson pinpointed four priorities in the fourth quarter for his international audience -- Nik Kershaw, Boston, Kim Wilde and Patti Labelle.
le), and The Pretenders (My Baby/ Don't Get Me Wrong).
Dickins pointed out the diverse range of product -- from poet Virginia Astley to the utterly commercial Fuzzbox and Everything But The Girl -- and he added (correcting a misprinted quote in last week's issue) that if people in the music business don't take risks, "The danger is that it will become unexciting and formula pop".
An addition to the video line-up is Elaine Paige, performing an album of mostly Christmas songs, mentioned by A&R director Max Hole, who also predicted that Echo And The Bunnymen would next year "make that leap" to the international status of Simple Minds and U2, while Simply Red would capitalise on their initial impact with a follow-up record in February.
CD yes, but don't forget the rest
WHILE EMBRACING new technology at last, with the recent opening of CD plants in the US and at Alsdorf, West Germany, the company must not neglect existing formats, president of WEA Europe Siggi Loch told delegates.
"The CD year is yet to come for us in 198 7-- it hasn't been 1986," he said. But in a special focus on cassette promotion, Loch urged that the declining cassette market on the continent must be reversed. The cassette is the "true leader" in terms of world sales, yet while the format has overtaken vinyl in the US and UK, its impact was much less evident in other European territories -- particularly France and West Germany.
Backed by aslogan -- The Clear Advantage -- the company is switching its product to clear plastic cassettes and mounting a campaign of counter displays, point-ofsale and other promotional material. Retailers who have not yet changed to using open cassette racks for display will be encouraged to do so.

· ATLANTIC MADE it clear that the label is diversifying from its core of heavy metal and rock repertoire, and would also be making arecommitment to jazz. As if to emphasise the point, an Andy Williams album "with aromantic ballad feel" recorded live at Abbey Road with a 40-piece orchestra was announced.
The product presentation highlighted Stacey Q, Raft, Mikki Howard, Shannon, Lou Gramm, Nancy Martinez, The Force, Bad Company and Yes. There was also selections from the Jazzlore series, R&B anthologies and the film soundtrack Stand By Me.
· "THE NAME of the company is Elektra/Asylum/Nonesuch," said chairman and president Bob Krasnow, emphasising the company's "commitment to excellence" in investing money in the latter contemporary American label.
Nonesuch provided the centrepiece of the company's presentation which featured Anita Baker, World Saxophone Quartet, Kronos Quartet, John Zorn, Teresa Stratas, Steve Reich, Assad Brothers, George Duke, Linda Ronstadt, Motley Crue, Peabo Bryson,
ARTISTS FROM within the WEA UK Soho File include. Girls Talk, Virginia Astley and Ryuichi Sakemoto, Everything But The Girl, Red Box and Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders.
RIEF
Howard Hewitt, Metal Church, Georgia Satellites and Ben Orr. · MADONNA AND A-ha, understandably, provided the climax to an impressive Warner Bros presentation that promised many hits to come.
Other artists featured included Sheila E, Tenn Dream, Two Minds Cracked, Jeff Lorber, John Fogerty, Eric Clapton, Chicago, Miles Davis, Bob James, Hank Williams, Dwight Yoakam, Frank Sinatra and the return of Fleetwood Mac. · IN THE WEA International presentation president Siggi Loch emphasised to individual territories that "just to be good enough to sell foreign repertoire is not good enough".
Falco -- with Emotional Man -- is expected to renew his success early next year, while Nesuhi Ertegun himself focused on an intriguing new Japanese signing Shonentai which should debut internationally in February. "It's a gamble," he conceded. · GEFFEN HIGHLIGHTED Lone Justice, Kitaro, Ric Ocasek and Wang Chung, plus The Little Shop Of Horrors.

IF IT'S OUT IT'S IN
Music Week Masterfile is the monthly guide to everything that's been released ... on album, single, compact disc and music video.
Each month Masterfile gives the most comprehensive listing of the month's new product. It's fully cross-referenced too, so you can find the name of an album even if you only know one track on it. Or if you need to find an "oldie" Masterfile will tell you at once whether it's out on a new compilation, even if it's a "various artists" album.
Masterfile doesn't stop at releases though. It also gives you singles and albums chart positions for the year to date ... so when a new release comes out you can check how the artist's previous efforts sold. And because it's published by Music Week, the charts are the official ones used by BBC Top of the Pops.
Masterfile is the most comprehensive, accurate and reliable data source available. It's available only by post from Music Week.

Four pronged attack takes Virgin into video battle
by John Tobler
upNeUtiKtoErs,MAViNrgYinofViitsdecoom-is not making a big commitment to the under £10 battle, although EPs will continue to retail within that price range. However, general manager Angus Margerison reports that Virgin will be splitting its music-onvideo repertoire into four categories, each supported by aseparate marketing campaign.
The first, and potentially most profitable area is that of the fulllength live concert, as exemplified by the best-selling Under A Blood Red Sky by U2, whose soles
Margerison estimates at over 30,000. For this campaign, Morgerison intends to use such emotive phrases as "better than being there, with perfect sound, the best view in the house and without aloss of atmosphere", and among the repertoire will be such potential blockbusters as The Mama Tour by Genesis, James Brown Live In London, Tom Petty's Pack Up The Plantation and Elvis Presley's 1968 Comeback Concert.
The second targeted audience will be heavy metal fans, who will be pursued in specialist magazines such as Kerrang!, and here the repertoire will include Iron Maiden, already astrong seller on
Frodsham opens new company
AS PREDICTED in Dooley's Diary, ex WEA Video Head Simon Frodsham has launched his own film production company, Front Row Films, with Luke Thornton, formerly of Keller Thornton.
With a Head Office in London (temporary address 7/9 Grape St., London WC2. Telephone: 3793441) and affiliate offices in New York and Los Angeles, Front Row Films represents directors Maurice
Phillips, whose credits include video clips for Billy Ocean, Eddy Grant and Paul McCartney and Pete Cornish, who can include such names as Dire Straits, Tears For Fears and The Bangles on his CV. Head of production in London is Jackie Adams, who will work with production manager Rob Small, while the Los Angeles office will be overseen by Anne Marie Mackay, formerly of Directors International.
video,
Motorhead's
Tenth
Anniversary Concert (which will be
cross-promoted by the release of a
live album), Bad Attitude by Meat
Loaf and oGary Moore video.
The third area will centre on pop
compilations like the current Now
7for which Virgin markets the odd-
numbered albums, and PMI/EMI
the even, while the fourth and
potentially the most wide-ranging
musical area will be nostalgia,
which Margerison feels will have a
longer-than average shelf life. He
also claims that the video market
has now expanded sufficiently to
support such classic material as
Monterey Pop, Supershow,
1969 event, and Jazz On A Sum-
mer's Day, the acclaimed film shot
at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival.
As regards the price reductions
which so many video companies
have recently undertaken, Virgin,
according to Margerison, still per-
ceives the existence of hardback
and softback markets, to some ex-
tent because they claim to pay
more attention than some of their
rivals to quality in ensuring that all
sound is digital (either in origina-
tion or by transfer), duplication is
on best quality tape, and that all
releases are supported by advertis-
ing in the consumer press and else-
where. "At that rate, we have to charge
a small premium, but we're trying to change people's perception of music video -- it really isn't as expensive as they say when you bear the excellent quality in mind".
Virgin is actively involved in providing software for new items of hardware, such as the Sony Video 8, (8 millimetre), which resembles a slightly fatter cassette, but can contain up to four hours of video with digital sound, or up to 24 hours of digital sound only.
In addition, Virgin will introduce compact video (video on CD) with 20 minutes capacity per side on an eight-inch disc. With an extremely limited number of owners of hardware, at this point Virgin software is only ovailble through Sony. As to why two fresh systems should be launched in parallel, Margerison makes the point that apart from its vast capacity, the Video 8 can be used for recording domestically, while the advantage of the Laserdisc is the accessibility of its contents.
"Already audio, video and computer information are being combined to produce training courses for service engineers working on Jaguar cars, and obviously there are endless educaional applications," he adds. "Now 40 per cent of households hove a video machine, and in another two years, that will have risen to 50, so this business is already strong and growing stronger."
In what can only be seen as a forward step, Virgin is producing 12-inch square cards which it will
ANGUS MARGERISON: Virgin Video general manager
provide free to retailers to crossadvertise videos in LP browsers -- WH Smith, HMV as well as Virgin shops have already agreed to use these extra selling tools, and other retailers are recommended to apply for a set by contacting PVG.

VIDEOS? FAST FORWARD
If you're looking for the best video service in the business, beware of imitations.
Sure, they might look like the
real thing from adistance. But when you look closely, do
they really offer you anything like the total service package we do? Do they open
6days aweek? Do they have tele-sales from 9.30a.m. to 6.30p.m.,
with guaranteed next morning delivery to most areas of the U.K.?
Do they offer full support of audio and video blank tapes or eye-catching rack systems for videos and compact discs?
·TERRY BLOOD DISTRIBUTION · /
Do they provide aonestop source for everything you
need to maximise your profit opportunities?
Not only music videos, but also an extensive range of budget videos like Channel 5and Video
Collection, to say nothing of the UK's most com-
prehensive catalogue of records, tapes and CD's--the life-blood of your business? No? Well we do.
That's why we have increased our video sales by
35% in the last 12 months. And why we have 50% more video customers than
last year. Why not join them? Just fast-forward to TBD.
The fastest movers in records, tapes, compact discs, video cassettes and computer software.

VIDEOS? FAST FORWARD
If you're looking for the best video service in the business, beware of imitations.
Sure, they might look like the real thing from adistance.
But when you look closely, do they really offer you anything like the total service package we do? Do they open
6days aweek? Do they have tele-sales from 9.30a.m. to 6.30p.m.,
with guaranteed next morning delivery to most areas
of the U.K.? Do they offer full support of audio and video
blank tapes or eye-catching rack systems for videos
and compact discs?
Do they provide aonestop source for everything you need to maximise your profit
opportunities? Not only music videos, but
also an extensive range of budget videos like Channel 5and Video
Collection, to say nothing of the UK's most comprehensive catalogue of records, tapes and CD's--the life-blood of your business? No? Well we do.
That's why we have increased our video sales by
35% in the last 12 months. And why we have 50% more video customers than
last year. Why not join them? Just fast-forward to TBD.
The fastest movers in records, tapes, compact discs, video cassettes and computer software.

MUSIC WEEK 18 OCTOBER, 1986
"THAT'S A very old rumour," says Peter Jamieson about the latest story doing the rounds involving Arista and former EMI colleague David Munns and Munns himself says: "I am not moving to Arista." Jamieson quite rightly says he wants to settle in at RCA/Ariola before making any drastic changes ... While we're scotching old rumours, Art Jaeger, the Island Group financial director, says: "Once and for all, Island is not being sold to Chrysalis. He adds, chidingly: "Dooley's speculation is ill-informed and potentially harmful, and we'd appreciate on end to it," but he ought to realise that it's other people's speculation and if they weren't talking about it, we wouldn't be writing about it.. Back to Arista and DuLLejsse_n_ce, EMI's national singles sales force manager until lost week; has been seen in the vicinity of Cavendish Square... Dr Roy Dolby, who must get more name checks in the music business than anyone else as his name appears on just about every piece of equipment, has been awarded an OBE -- honorary only, because of his US citizenship... Life imitates art, or is it the other way round? Mattel, the creator of the Barbie Doll, is launching a search for a young woman to become Rocker Barbe. Giorgio Moroder (fresh from helping to mould the Sputnik sound) will produce a record for the "living" doll ... John Bradley is philosophical after having to liquidate a company and dose ashop (p4). "It's not all bad, I've just won a holiday in the TV Times," he says... Unsigned band Kingfishers Catch Fire achieved the distinction of being the first band to play afull-blooded live set -- PA and all -- at Tower Records last weekend. How did they manage it? "By pestering,
of course," they say... SKY CHANNEL got into shape for the Wommies (be interesting to hear how that's pronounced around the world!) by recording avariety show in Madrid to mark the close of the world congress of CICAC, the International Confederation of
Societies of Authors and Composers, to which PRS is affili-
ated... Even further afield, all credit to the Flaming Mussolinis in reaching the gnat of the World Popular Song Festival -- Japan's answer to the Eurovision Song Contest -- held in Tokyo on October 26... Ever since Richard Branson's spoof cable music story appeared in Music Week five years ago speculation has persisted that the Virgin chief would one day turn fiction into fact. But on Radio Four's Start The Week arch prankster Branson -- who conceded: "I enjoy April Fool's Days" -- told listeners: "It was aone-off ¡oke and Idon't ever really want to see it come and bite me." On a more serious note, reacting to a discussion including SSS mainman Tony James on the sometimes insincere moralising of pop stars, he said: "It's interesting to hear groups rabbiting on about South Africa, yet they never say we don't want the royalties from South Africa"... Could Don Ellis soon be setting the red seal
on anew job?

COMMrEeNeT] Market share?Who cares?
Nobody except those who ore at the top, those who want to be at the top, or those who feel they ought to be there. On second thoughts, Isuppose that takes in just about everybody who has ashout in the fortunes of this business.
There's nothing wrong with such
aspirations in the music industry as
long as they don't cloud the more
important ambition to make profit
in order to maintain ahealthy
investment in new talent.
As Music Week publishes the
third quarter market survey (p 10)
we have now moved into the all
important fourth quarter. This is also the most dangerous time of year when, determined to hove a last fling, some record company executives will do almost anything to make alate burst to get into the reckoning. Maybe even save ajob. This period last year showed that it's ultimately pointless -- and certainly profitless -- trying to make an expensive impact just for the sake of it.
CBS has without doubt sacrificed
dispensing with ego in pursuit of what it saw as greater efficiency and greater profit.
The music business in this country is happily enriched by a proliferation of diverse talent, but this talent will only ever be fuelled by profit, not ego. So while we continue to publish the market surveys as an important guide to company performance, don't take them too much to heart.
