R1 computer hiccupcauses playlist upsetAN ABERRATION in the program-ming of the Radio One playlistingcomputer is throwing a spanner inthe works of the listing system.
The admitted hiccup has causednon -listed records to receive manymore plays than listed ones andhas caused consternation amongthe people missing out. However,the BBC says the problem has been
spotted and is being put right.In one five-day period earlier
this month, Prince's Glam Slam -which featured only on the unpub-lished C list - had almost twice asmany plays as the A -listed LoveBites from Def Leppard.
Four acts not on any list -Womack & Womack, FunkyWorm, Blow Monkeys and Climax
BARD: pick of autumn cropBPI CHAIRMAN Peter Jamiesonand Radio One's Roger Lewis areamong speakers already lined upfor BARD 88 as the autumn pro-duct showcase and conference be-gins to take shape.
The British Association of RecordDealers is packing in a potent mix-ture of advance record companyrelease details and keynotespeeches for the event - set forthe Hilton, Wembley, on October 6and 7.
The conference element will ex-amine likely technical develop-ments in the future, what retail cus-tomers really want, sell through
video and market trends coveringthe future of black vinyl and thesingles format. Celebrated produc-er George Martin is among thekeynote speakers.
A gala dinner on the evening ofOctober 6 will include live enter-tainment and the after dinnerspeaker will be Roger Lewis, headof Radio One music departmentwho made his music industryspeaking debut at the Music WeekAwards earlier this year.
Music Week will be revealing inthe coming weeks further details ofthe event and how independentdealers and others can participate.
Blues Band - received an aver-age of a play a day during thatperiod while the B -listed IronMaiden were aired only once.
Says a spokeswoman forMaiden's management, SanctuaryMusic: "The unacknowledged de-mand for Iron Maiden is highlight-ed by Radio One's lack of cover-age for The Evil That Men Do. Thesingle was the highest chart entryof the week at number six, yetdespite such a high profile (a num-ber one album and top three pre-vious single) we have benefitedfrom just one weekday show play."

STOP PRESS: EMI and Wool-worths have ended their tradingterms dispute which had kept therecord company's product out ofthe chain's stores for 24 weeks.The two sides are this weektrading normally following top-level talks between EMI andWoolworths' supplier Entertain-ment UK, formerly Record Mer-chandisers.
Asked about Fewings' depar-ture, Virgin Group managingdirector Don Cruickshank com-ments: 'We have got a three-yearplan for expansion and it needs afresh start and new people."
Before taking up his newappointment, Burke was businessdevelopment director at Virgin andhas been involved in moulding thestyle of the megastores.
Says Cruickshank: "He has avery good grasp of the retailer'sdetails theory. There are 100 de-tails that you need to get right if
you are going to make a profit outof retailing and I think, until now,that has always been our failing.We got the concept right, we justdidn't get the details right."
He adds that Burke has an ex-pertise in electronic point -of -saleequipment and that he has alreadygained the respect of many peoplewithin the retail sector. "Lots ofpeople in retailing have welcomedhim with open arms," he asserts.

HOLLAND: WE are in the business to make profits'
DG set to go CD -onlyIN THE WAKE of recent criticism,the compact disc format has re-ceived a massive boost with thenews that classical label DeutscheGrammophon is to release its full -price product only on CD in Janu-ary.
Its sister labels, Decca and Phi-lips, are not following suit and willcontinue to release on all threeformats for the foreseeable future,although occasional releases ofminority interest may be taggedCD -only.
'We are not trying to be flag-
rantly controversial or venture-some - we are in the business tomake profits," says Bill Holland,marketing manager of DG. 'Wecan only reflect the market place,but I must admit I don't know whyDG has established itself so clearlyas a CD label."
The move, which affects Deuts-che Grammophon worldwide, willbe received with dismay by manyclassical collectors who still preferthe conventional mediums.

BMA raps majors forservicing pirate radioTHE BPI has come under attack forallegedly not taking action againstmajor record companies who sendwhite labels to pirate radio sta-tions, despite its strong campaignagainst piracy.
The criticism was mounted at aseminar organised by the BlackMusic Association, where expertsfrom the music industry gathered togive advice to black musicians. TheBMA, founded three years ago,hopes that the seminar would giveblack musicians an insight into themusic publishing industry and en-courage them to get involved in it.
"The seminar will help blackmusicians tremendously," saidBMA President, Root Jackson. "Fora lot of musicians, this is the first
time they have sat down in thesame room with people from orga-nisations in the music industry."
Representatives from the BPI,MU, PRS, PPL and MCPS, were onhand to answer queries on copyr-ight, contract and publishing, andto discuss the problems black musi-cians face in trying to enter into themain pop music market. Addres-sing the seminar they explainedhow their different organisationswork and what services they offerto protect their members.
BPI representative Claire Sugruesaid she could not deal with thecriticisms against the BPI; criticismswhich include classing black musicas disco instead of incorporating itinto main stream pop music, and
that only a few black artists havebeen nominated for the BPIAwards. But she promised to, "findout more about it and get back toyou," as did the other representa-tives.
The second part of the seminarwas given to surgeries held bylegal experts in the music businessand one to one discussions wheremusicians were able to get detailedinformation.
Jackson said: "There is a greatfuture for the black music industryin this country, but first of all wehave to know what we are dealingwith. We have to do a lot of re-search and establish ourselves asindustry people who have donesome work in the music industry."

Record Services opensin Dublin's dockyardsRECORD SERVICES, now one ofIreland's largest sales and distribu-tion companies, has officiallyopened its new premises in theheart of Dublin's thriving dock -lands.
The building is leased from Prin-ciple Management, and U2's man-ager Paul McGuiness is also adirector of Record Services alongwith founders Brian and TerryWynne.
K-tel is sharing the premises withRecord Services which has secureddistribution rights to most of Ire-land's independent labels, notablyU2's Mother Records which willalso operate from the building.
A selection of European and UK
labels will also be distributed inIreland by Record Services, includ-ing Castle Communications andTrax Music. Island Records, formany years distributed by CBS inIreland, will also switch to RecordServices in January, and BrianWynne expects to announce thedistribution of another UK major inthe next two weeks.
With the ratio of tapes to recordsin Ireland currently being "80/20",according to Wynne, Record Ser-vices expects to capitalise on thelower duty on cassettes in Ireland."One of the key points", says Wyn-ne, "is that independent labels rep-resent the future of the retail busi-ness."
Parkfield profits advanceMANUFACTURER AND distributorParkfield Group - which ownsLightning Distribution and Holly-wood Nites - has announcedsubstantial increases in profit andturnover.
Profit before tax rose by 88 percent from £8.1 m in 1987 to
£15.2m in 1988 while turnoverrose 78 per cent from £1 23.5m to£219.3m.
Chairman Roger Felber says thesigning of exclusive distributioncontracts over the past year hadcontributed to the success of thecompany's entertainment division.
BSB claims'CD quality"broadcastsPOP VIDEOS were used to de-monstrate British Satellite Broad-casting's new system of ExtendedDefinition TV at the IBA's Londonheadquarters where BSBannounced that its pay -per -viewchannel, due to begin transmissionin September 1989, will offer ma-jor concerts with CD quality sound.
The BSB demonstration involvedbeaming pictures from Norway toreceivers equipped with conven-tional PAL and new D -MAC sys-tems. Even on ordinary domestictelevision sets, D -MAC pictureswere crisper with more stable andsharper colours. The sound signalsare digital and arrive in stereo.
The D -MAC format permits"cinema style" oblong picturesrather than square ones and therewill be no loss of definition when itis projected onto large screens inclubs and discos.
Contrary to TV industry expecta-tions, BSB also announced that thedomestic receiver unit for its D -MAC pictures will cost £250, lessthan the unit which Amstrad is tomarket for Rupert Murdoch's Skysatellite channels which are due tobeam down to the UK this year.
FORMER IRS director of A&R NickBattle has set up his own label,Indigo Records. Battle says thelabel will give him more A&R flex-ibility and allow him "to construct amore thoughtful release policy".Label manager is Ann Kelly,formerly Virgin sales director. In-digo con be contacted on 01-4861651.

All calm on the retail frontas chart ethics are upheld
AN EXCHANGE of letters hastaken the heat out of the row overa new clause in the chart code ofconduct.
Mike Sommers, managing direc-tor of Woolworths -owned Enter-tainment UK, says he is reassuredthat the clause will not be used as aweapon against retailers and he iswithdrawing his threat to removeGallup in-store computers from theWoolworths chain (MW, August13).
Sommers and his colleagues inthe British Association of RecordDealers have received a letterfrom Gallup director Graham Dos -sett which states Gallup's intentionto remain bound by its ethical andprofessional responsibilities.
Along with some other retailers,Sommers had feared that theclause, said by the BPI to preventdistortions in the chart when onechain refuses to stock a company'sproduct, could be used as a leveragainst dealers.
However, Dossett contends:"The BPI, BARD and Gallup allagree that the chart is intended tobe an accurate reflection of thesales of records. As far as Gallup isconcerned, this clause is to under-line the fact that Gallup will takewhatever steps are necessary toensure the integrity and repre-sentative nature of the charts.
"I would like to assure you that itis our intention, indeed our commit-ment, to continue to act in a highly
ethical and professional manner."BPI director general John
Deacon wrote to Sommers to rein-force Dossett's arguments and toexpress his confidence in Gallup.
In his reply to Deacon, Sommerssays: "Your letter has reassured meas to your awareness of the prob-lems involved in any massaging ofdata. I will watch the weekly re-ports with a keener interest, but asof now we will not be recommend-ing that Woolworths withdraws itssupport for the Gallup chart."
Contacted by MW, Sommersadds: "I have received adequatereassurances from Gallup and theBPI that nothing that I would notregard as market research is goingto be done."
(4 throws a 'global party'with World Music seriesINTERNATIONAL MUSIC "fromBali To Bootle" will be featured in anew regular programme on Chan-nel Four.

Goldman says it is about timeworld music had an airing on tele-vision. "This show will take for

Big changes
coming at
PolyGramA RADICAL re -structuring of Poly -Gram International's popular musicdivision is expected to be im-plemented later this week.
No changes in staff are antici-pated but MW understands thatthe division is to be re -aligned on aterritorial basis instead of the cur-rent orientation around individuallabels.
DAVE WILLIS: given the coldshoulder by the music industry
HEDS bowedby no-showmusic industryORGANISERS OF this year'sHome Entertainment Dealer Showare stunned at a "non-existent"response from the music industry.
There will be no representativesfrom service or record companiesat the three day show at theNational Exhibition Centre whichstarts today (16) and general salesmanager Dave Willis is unlikely toinvite them next year.
"The response has been non-existent. This is the first time wehave invited the music industry but Idon't think any of them haveunderstood the concept," he says.
The exhibition predominantly fe-atures video as well as televisionand computers but Willis believesthere are substantial opportunitiesfor the music industry to get in-volved.
"If nothing else they would get alot of PR out of it. But the responsewe got was 'we don't think there isany need for the exhibition'. I thinkthat's ridiculous because it wouldhave given them the chance tosupport their dealers in the street,"says Willis.
"Next year I think we will gostraight video. That's a decision I
will have to make over the nexttwo weeks."
Hiccupktt- FROM PAGE ONEspeak out publicly, fearing thepower Radio One has over theirchances of success. Even so, theyexpress their confusion over a sys-tem which appears to lack con-sistency. They say they would pre-fer to see playlisting which accur-ately indicates the number of playseach record is to receive.
A spokesman for Radio One re-sponds: 'We are aware that sincethe new computer has become ful-ly operational, there have beenone or two hiccups. However, weare taking steps to ensure that thedecisions of the playlist committeeare implemented across the net-work."
He adds that the playlist systemleaves the decision of which re-cords to use in each programmeto individual producers as a meansof maintaining the creative integ-rity of the shows.
In addition, a note on each pub-lished playlist says: "Appearanceof an item on this list does notguarantee plays."
Virgin retailgt. FROM PAGE ONEthe megastore concept and imageand to oversee trading strategy.
Fewings' future, meanwhile is
uncertain. His position was seen tohave been undermined by the cut-ting of Virgin's shops from 85 to 11although he received praise fromOur Price for his co-operation inthe deal.
DG goes CDFROM PAGE ONE
by the performance of the mainAugust release - a Karajan/Jessye Norman recording. "TheCD sales ran into many thousands,but the tape and LP sales scarcelyran into the hundreds," says Hol-land. "They barely justified theirissue."
However, while there are noplans for LP or tape issues in 1989,a "pragmatic" attitude will bemaintained. If a crossover releaselooks like having the potential ofBernstein's West Side Story, thecompany will feel free to revert totape and LP. 'We are not going tobehave like ostriches," says Hol-land.
Michael Letchford, general man-ager of Decca, says that with onlyaround 800,000 CD players in theUK, the company is less preparedto be as "draconian" as DG. "Ifthere is a demand, we would like tosupply it," declares Letchford,although Decca issues new full -price product without LP or tapefrom time to time.
Neither Letchford nor Holland isable to say categorically howmuch the decline of interest in full -price LP and tape is due to changesat consumer level or dealer press-ure. This has been a difficult timefor dealers who are expected tostock all three formats when theyclearly see the higher margin ofprofits available through CD.
But Holland still sees a buoyantmid -price tape market, though he isputting another nail in the LP coffinby not bringing out the latest re-lease of the Galleria mid -priceseries on black vinyl.
LOS ANGELES: As expected,Jheryl Busby has been namedpresident and chief operatingofficer of Motown Records,which was recently purchasedby MCA Records and BostonVentures. Busby began his re-cord industry career as a storemerchandiser for Stax Re-cords. He has also worked atCasablanca, Atlantic, CBS andA&M. He had been with MCAfor four years.
WASHINGTON, DC: The Un-ited States Justice Departmenthas ordered BMI to continuepaying bonuses to songwritersor composers who are no lon-ger affiliated with the perform-ing right; organisation. Lastyear, BMI announced it wouldcease paying the bonuses,which were above the basicroyalty rate, to writers whohad left the association.ASCAP challenged the deci-sion.
OTTAWA: Canadian recordcompanies have shown theiropposition to the proposedCanada/America free -tradedeal by demanding changes.They have told a House ofCommons committee that theyare not happy with the waytrade disputes would be set-tled through the deal. TheCanadian Independent RecordProduction Association alsobelieves the deal could causedisruption of the Canadian in -dies' distribution routes.
MINNEAF'OLIS: The CountryMusic Association hasapproved a proposed researchproject to gauge attitudes andawareness of country music inthe UK. The results of the sur-vey will he used to improvemarketing of country music inthe UK and Europe and also topromote radio programmerand advertiser interest in thegenre.
PARIS: Independent distributorNew Trade International gros-sed almost $6m in 1987, anincrease of about 20 per centon the previous year. One ofthe company's more significantsuccesses was putting 100,000units of Pickwick's low -priceCD series within the Carrefoursupermarket chain.
WASHINGTON, DC: Goldand .platinum sales awards areup significantly for the first sixmonths of 1988 compared tothe same period last year. Tot-al six month gold certificationswere 76 this year compared to61 last year and there were 51platinum certifications in 1988as opposed to 30 in 1987.

I write the songsby Nigel Hunter
THE EXPLOSION ofpunk and disco dancemusic in the pop worldcaused alarm and de-
spondency among many of theestablished and more tradition-al songwriters. It wasn't theirbag, they couldn't adapt to it- and nobody wanted theirusual wares anymore.
Tony Macaulay viewed thenew music and trends with thesame mixture of horror andbewilderment as his contem-poraries. But he didn't becomedownhearted or resentful, andin fact is quite grateful to punkand disco.
"That music left professionalsongwriters wondering what todo," he recalls. "I gotgorgeously sidetracked intothe theatre for about fiveyears. I had always been in-terested in that area, and lackof opportunity elsewhere re-kindled my enthusiasm."
One result of that rekindlingwas the show called WindyCity, based on a newspaperdrama called Front Page. It ransuccessfully in London, starringDenis Waterman, and col-lected Evening Standard andBASCA best musical awards.After being revamped, it didwell in Chicago, the setting ofthe story, and New Jersey.
"It also begat other theatreprojects," adds Macaulay."One of them I'm working onnow is based on a news storyabout Anastasia, said by someto be the only child of the Tsarto have escaped excecution atthe time of the Russian Revolu-tion.
Percivalopts forValentineVALENTINE MUSIC is managingand administering Don Percival'sAlpadon Music catalogue worl-dwide with effect from July 1, fol-lowing a deal finalised betweenPercival and Valentine managingdirector John Nice.
Percival is gaining prominenceas a TV theme and incidental musiccomposer, and his work is pub-lished through Alpadon. Amonghis credits are the BBC TV prog-ramme Fighter Pilot, Year Of TheBalloon and Star Memories, andhe is writing the music for a BBCdocumentary series about BritishAirways due to start screening nextEaster.
Percival is continuing his artistpromotion activities, and his clientsinclude Demis Roussos, RichardClayderman and operatic singerJessye Norman.

TONY MACAULAY: hasn't done badly for a North Finchley boy
"There were several imposterspretending to be her during theThirties, and the story I've pickedup on is about one sponsored bythe NKVD, forerunners of the KGB,to try and get the Tsar's millions outof the Bank of England to prop upStalin's regime. I'm planning towrite it with Don Black, and Poly -Gram will have the record andpublishing rights."
Macaulay has recently done aworldwide publishing deal withPolyGram International Music Pub-lishing for all his music from 1970and his future output. This bringsinto PolyGram's publishing fold asongwriter with some 60m salesunder his belt to date, an entry inthe Guinness Book Of Records asthe biggest selling non -performingsongwriter with the most numberone hits. During the past 18 years,Macaulay has written and in mostcases produced 38 hits in the UK,eight of them reaching numberone, and 18 in the US, four ofwhich made the top spot.
Among his impressive tally areDon't Give Up On Us, Home Lavin'Man, Let The Heartaches Begin,Build Me Up Buttercup, Silver Ladyand Love Grows Where MyRosemary Goes. He was commis-sioned to write a song last yearcommemorating the Queen's 60thbirthday.
Artists who have recordedMacaulay songs include Elvis Pre-sley, Tom Jones, The Drifters,Gladys Knight, Andy Williams, 5thDimension, Sonny & Cher, DavidSoul, Glen Campbell, JohnnyMathis, Donna Summer and OliviaNewton -John.
Macaulay also achieved a diffe-rent king of fame with his long andhard-fought court case against thelate Aaron Schroeder to regainsongs signed to Schroeder on the
grounds that the terms under whichthey were signed were unfair anda restraint of trade.
The case went to the Law Lords- the first show business lawsuit todo so - and Macaulay won. Hechuckles when he discloses that theprevious closest precedent for theaction dates back to 1806, a mas-ter and servant slavery case. All inall, as he remarks, he hasn't donebadly for a North Finchley boy,who started as a song plugger atEssex Music although he wasn't toosure what a plugger was at thetime, and taught himself how toplay the piano on the office uprightafter hours.
"I come from a background andperiod in pop music of bespokesongwriters," declares Macaulay."A clutch of people who wouldwrite, produce and often publishmaterial to a given brief. It takestime to become a songwriter whounderstands the limits of what canbe done. There are very few song-writers around who can composesuitable songs for half a dozendifferent acts. One of the things I'mproudest of is winning the BASCAsongwriter of the year awardtwice, with 10 years in between."
That testimony to his continuinggood ear and relevance to what'sgoing on (pace punk) reassuresMacaulay that he's practising hissongwriter's craft in the right wayHe regrets the high casualty rateamong other practitioners who,through choice or circumstances,hitch their star to a particular band.
"The songwriting careers ofkeyboard players or lead singersoften collapse when the band inquestion loses popularity or splitsup. Often the band writers haveimproved enormously during thelife of the group, but they lose theirplatform when it breaks up."
Dealer tolerancestretched in theformat jungleDEALERS ACROSS the countryare grudgingly putting up withthe increasing number of for-mats of singles.
Many independent retailersare attempting to stock asmany of the varieties as possi-ble but at the same time havespoken out about the risingnumber - Voice Of The Bee-hive's new single is available ineight formats - and the diffi-culties of getting hold of them.
John Constable, manager ofCity Sounds in Truro, says a lotof discretion has to be used ondeciding which formats toorder. "If someone like Princeor Michael Jackson brings outa single we can more or lessstock whatever, but when TheSmiths brought out a limitededition we ended up with a lotof them left over," he says.
As a Gallup back-up shop,City Sounds manages to gethold of a majority of the for-mats but Constable is unhappywith the number availablethese days. "I don't think it is
necessary. It is just anothercash in. A record is a recordand I don't believe in having allthese mixes."
Alan Wishant, manager ofGallup return shop DiscoveryRecords in Corby, says threeformats is enough. "Five or
more is just ridiculous. It makesit difficult for us to keep track ofeverything," he says.
Wishant believes recordcompanies should be more res-trictive on formats. "They arereleasing compact disc singlesfor new artists too early beforepeople have heard of them.They should release a CD sing-le when it gets into the top 75,"he says.
In Birmingham, Rockers Re-cord Shop manager MikeCaddick says he just has tostock whatever he can - if hecan get hold of it. 'We have towait and see what the repbrings. It does make life difficultwhen some of them are sorestricted in availability. Theproblem is we don't seem toget hold of the good ones andin a lot of cases we are notnotified about the various re-leases."
He says CD singles are de-finitely one of the most popularformats. 'We have found quitea lot of resistance to the casset-te single - probably becauseof the rise of the CD single.There does seem to be a lotmore of an air about collectingCDs. But when it comes downto it, the definite formats likethe seven and 12 are the bot-tom line."

DWIGHT YOAKAM: BuenasNoches From A Lonely Room.Reprise WX 193. Producer: PeteAnderson. Yoakam's secondalbum was quite a disappointment,so this return to form is welcome,although far from perfect. MariaMcKee of Lone Justice is back for aduet on Send Me The Pillow, butyou can't hear her enough, andHome Of The Blues isn't a patch onCash. However, Yoakam's song -writing gift seems to have returnedfor I Sang Dixie, a kind of compo-site Guy Clark tale, the bluegrassgospel (very authentic) of Hold OnTo God and the deep country ofFloyd County. Yoakam proves he'snot the bimbo some consideredhim to have become.

update (slightly) eight of the olderCarter generation's sings, and addSteve Young's Seven Bridges Roadand A Dave Loggins song. Hard toget desperately excited by this, -sometimes it's rather like a skifflegroup - but there's nothing wrongwith it either, and the dobrosweeps on Worried Man Blues areheavenly.
RAY LYNAM: Back In Love ByMonday. Ritz LP 0047. Produc-ers: Artist & John Ryan. Nowmore than ever, domestic countrymusic should be taken seriously,since a growing number of localsare making waves in America -Albert Lee, Phillip Donnelly, PaulKennerly, Daniel O'Donnell, WesMcGhee, to which we should nowadd Ray Lynam. This Irish singerhas been recording for nearly 20years, but this time, with the invalu-able help of Donnelly on guitar,has come up with a highly worth-while album with a number of sub-stantial performances of goodsongs including Delbert McClin-ton's Victim Of Life's Circumst-ances. A definite contender onboth sides of the Atlantic, and apleasant suprise.
BILLY JOE ROYAL: The RoyalTreatment. Atlantic America 790658-1. Producer: Nelson Larkin.Not the Down In The Boondocksgeezer? The very same, who wasand no doubt still is buddies withJoe South, Emory Gordy and Fred-die Weller. Since he cut things likeRose Garden and Funny How TimeSlips Away 20 years back, wecan't accuse him of treating coun-try as the route back to the chart,although to be honest, the bestsongs here fake the T GrahamBrown approach to country withstrong R&B connections. Let It Rainis quite good, Members Only, theduet with Donna Fargo, is fine, andthe cover of Johnny Tillotson's ItKeeps Right On A-Hurtin' is nostal-gia personified. Even so, withoutsome exposure, sales are certain tobe rather limited.
PETER ROWAN & THE NASH-VILLE BLUEGRASS BAND: NewMoon Rising. Special DeliverySPD 1014. Producer: artist. Dis-tribution: Nine Mile/Cartel.Rowan must be termed a pioneerof New Country, but he hasn't yetachieved a contract with a major,and perhaps this pleasant, but un-exceptional album indicates why.Straightforward bluegrass is prob-ably destined to remain a minoritymusic, however well it's played, ason Cabin Of Love, That High Lone-some Sound, and several moretracks here. If Rowan were tobreak out of strict bluegrass as hehas on most of his recent albums,his accessibility would be far grea-ter, but in terms of his career, this isa sideways move.
IF ANYONE should ask for analbum by a Texan singer/guitarist/fiddler named Erik Hokkanen, whois just completing his first UK tour,don't say you've never heard of it,because what they'll be after is ErikHokkanen & the Offbeats onHeartland HLD 002, distributionRevolver/Cartel.

MUSIC WEEK 20 AUGUST, 1988
Pickwick plumpsfor budget CDsby Nicolas SoamesALTHOUGH PICKWICK led theworld with its mid -price CD classic-al label IMP Classics, it has waitedfor some time before launching abudget price series - until now.
This month sees the release ofPWK Classics, a well -designedpackage of 15 launch titles ofpopular classics, with a dealerprice of £2.43 and aimed at aselling price of £3.99.
The recordings, licensed fromCoombe Music, are analogue pro-ductions of provincial Germanorchestras. Thus Beethoven's PianoConcertos Nos 4 and 5 is playedby Ernst Grosdell and the Nurem-berg Symphony Orchestra underGunter Neidlinger (PWK 1100),and Bizet's Carmen Suite Nos 1and 2, and the Symphony, areplayed by the South GermanChamber Orchestra and theMozarteum Orchestra, Salzburg(PWK 1101).
But there are also some of theubiquitous Yugoslavian recordings,such as the coupling of Beeth-oven's Symphony No 1 (Broad-casting Orchestra of Ljubliana con-ducted by Jiri Pospal) and the Sym-phony No 6, the Pastoral, playedby the Munich Symphony Orches-tra under Hans Swarowsky (PWK1105).
With Grieg, Chopin, Wagner,Mendelssohn and Schubert amongthe other composers in the initiallaunch, PWK Classics is clearly aim-ing at the impulse/cross marketrather than the classical specialist.
It has a brightly coloured designtheme based on drawings of thecomposer, and with running timesalmost always over 50 minutes andoften over 60, it should do well.
There will be a further four re-leases in September, and then fouradditions to the PWK Classics eachmonth until the end of the year.
Independents dip a
toe into DAT watersWHILE THE major companies re-main silent on the DAT front, thereis growirig interest from indepen-dents. Jeremy Elliott, director ofTarget, welcomed the involvementof Chandos in DAT, even thoughthe Capriccio label which he im-ports from Germany has virtuallyhad the classical DAT field to itselfsince the first 15 titles were issuedlast September.
He admits that sales have beennominal - just 150 tapes havebeen sold in the first eight monthswhich was hardly surprising asthere are still only a handful ofDAT players in the country, and theprice of the tapes, at £14.50dealer/£24 retail was very high.
However, he now has a further15 titles in the catalogue and ex-pects to announce shortly a reduc-tion in the price following theChandos initiative. "I am glad thatChandos are having a go," saysElliott.
"It is encouraging to see a com-pany which is committed to thedigital sound carrier getting in toDAT - I believe it is a format thatjust won't go away."
Music International Limited -MIL Records - is also testing theDAT waters. Last week, it begandistribution through PRT of its 12jazz and pop tapes, includingChick Corea and Little Richard,and its one classical release, Bach'sToccata and Fugue and otherworks played by Wolfgang Stock-meier.
It is a 63 minute recording, madein East Germany, and appears onMIL's Music Distribution label.Stockmeier has recorded all Bach'sorgan works and the series hasbeen well -received in Germany.'We want to see what happensbefore we issue more," says Ca-plan Kay of MIL. The dealer price is£10.75, and the retail around £21,and the product is manufactured in
Hamburg.Particularly interesting is the
news that Colin Ashby, MD of TraxMusic, is also seriously consideringputting some of his 100 GreatestClassics series on DAT.
Inevitably, the growth of DATwill depend on the reduction of theprice of hardware. In a recent in-terview, Robin Barnes of Touch-stone commented that he saw verylittle reason why a DAT playerneed cost much more than theaverage video player. "Now thatthe design has been done and thechips exist, it can't be any moreexpensive to put a chip into a DATplayer than it is to put a chip into avideo recorder," he, remarked."They both have rotating heads,and if you take the top off a DATplayer and you take the top of avideo, they are very, very similar."
He added that it would only takea couple of majors to break ranksfrom the cartel against DAT, andthe others would follow suit, andDAT would be on the way. In themeantime, he is marketing his ownlabel, TPL Digital Music, and has hisown brand of two-hour blanktapes called Just, which retail for£8.95.
But Simon Hosein, director ofCovent Garden Records which hashad DAT on display for some timecomments: "People who inquire af-ter DAT have been doing so justout of sheer curiosity, but peoplewho have inquired after CompactDisc Video tend to be purchase -motivated."
The 25 DAT releases from Chan -dos, scheduled for August, willhave been delayed owing to prob-lems with the artwork and will nownot be available until September.Andy West, sales and marketingmanager, Chandos, says that thedelay was not due to teething diffi-culties in the company's own DATduplicating plant.

ALREADY CREDITED as being byNorman Cook (who did in factcreate it), THE URBAN ALL STARS ItBegan In Africa (Urban URBX 23) isthe correct nomenclature for thisbrilliant megamix of (the alsoseparately included) JacksonSisters I Believe In Miracles andMaceo & The Macks Cross TheTrack, in almost documentary style asit traces the "birth of rhythm", nowdoing really well as anticipated.
Once again there's a pile ofimports (these I pay for myself, whichexplains their prominence!), includingLEVERT Addicted To You (Atco 0-96624), fast selling backbeat bashingjittery tugging jogger (from EddieMurphy's hilarious new Coming ToAmerica movie), full of startlingjuddery edits; DIAZ BROTHERSHere We Go Again (BassmentRecords BM -0073), instantly excitingand useable combination of the LynCollins Think (About It) break beat(recently popularised by both RobBase & DJ E -Z Rock, andRoxanne Shante), PublicEnemy's repeated title line, andClint Eastwood's "do you feel lucky,punk?" dialogue.
MODEL 500 Interference(Metroplex M-012), truly fierce andsulphuric frantic acid house; NUSHOOZ Are You Lookin' ForSomebody Nu (Atlantic 0-86531),girl squeaked Miami flavouredgalloper over which those in the knoware flipping (literally) for the AcidShooz Mix, full of breezily dancingskittery beats; DR. LUV & KEV-SKI IAin't Goin' Out Like That (ZakiaRecords PAL -7221), James Brown -backed densely exciting if specialistPublic Enemy -type rap jiggler;JOHNNY KEMP Dancin' With Myself(Columbia 44-07870), while CBS isstill struggling here with Just Got Paid,the follow-up to that US smash(surprisingly without any input fromTeddy Riley this time) is a chunkilyrolling message about clean living;DAVID COLE You Take My BreatheAway (Epic 49 07817), self -pennedpleasantly dated striding New Yorksoul solo by the normally RobertClivilles partnering 2 PuertoRicans member; "J.D." GoodVibration (Requestline RecordsRR0102), hauntingly strange andeffective house thumper with resonantorgan chords and strangulatedshouts; TECH TRAX INC. Feel TheLuv (nugroove NG 001), RhejiBurrell -created simple house -typepanting jiggly canterer, perkier thanthe material on his twin Ronnie -partnered Burrell album; HANSON& DAVIS Can't Stop (Fresh RecordsFRE-90124), Marley Marl -remixed
piano pattered nervy nagginggroove; C "V" Dance Baby(SuperTronics RY 025), CulturalVibe featuring Glenn 'Sweety G'Toby, by their more usual name, witha monotonously nagging groovethat's more old style disco than house;NEAL HOWARD To Be Or Not ToBe? (Future Sound Records FSR1006), drain gurgling machinewashed simple acid house, or morestrictly "techno" as it features most ofDetroit's house boys; O.N.I.T. (OhNo, Ws Them) We're Out OfControl (Fourth Floor Records FF1092), rambling monotonous brassypercussive jitterer, another housegroove with a slower feel; JOHNWHITEHEAD Body Move (Mercury870 444-1), Gene McFadden -produced jerkily rolling soul, out awhile and largely ignored other thanby a few DJs who have discoveredthe flip's far chunkier Move Your BodyMix; CYNTHIA MT I Can't Stop(Dance Mania Records DM 014),Bam Bann -created painful houselurcher that's nevertheless found a fewtakers.
Finally, from Germany comesanother of Dutch remix star BenLiebrand's oldie revamps, THEFOUR SEASONS featuringFrankie Valli Oh What A Night(December, 1963) (Summer '88 12"Remix) (BCM Records B.C. 12-2139-40), stripping away all the originalbacking although its replacementretains the lurching momentum from1976.
Out here, and with reputations tolive up to, are COLDCUT featuringJunior Reid Stop This Crazy Thing(Ahead Of Our Time HOTPLATE 5),jauntily jumped go go-ish joltingjiggler full of sneaky samples, Tarzanyells and some vintage muted trumpetbehind Junior's urgent message;BOMB THE BASS Megablast (HipHop On Precinct 13) (Mister -RonRecords DOOR 1 22), another BeatDis-type sampler, billed as featuringMerlin & Antonia, whereas itsdouble A -sided Don't Make Me Waitfeatures Lorraine from the CoolNotes and is a reedy shrill "latin hiphop" jitterer; BEATMASTERS Burn ItUp (Rhythm King LEFT 27T), stridentgirl squawked and guys chorusedrepetitively churning jitterer with shrillstrings and datedly driving rhythm(minus the Cookie Crew this time).Benefiting, in London anyway, fromthe "Balearic beat" hype are reissuesof YELLO The Race (Mercury YELLO112), NITZER EBB Join In The Chant(Mute 12MUTE64), and GEORGEKRANZ Din Daa Daa (Trommeltanz)(Fourth & Broadway 1 2BRW 110), allflying out of some shops.
Ruthlessrapportby Barry Laze!!MANCHESTER'S RUTHLESS RapAssassins and their sister Crew, theduo KISS AMC, were featured inthese pages some nine months agowhen their ultra -limited white label12-incher was causing a sensationin clubs. The record was in desper-ately short supply, but the interest itbuilt had at least one dance labelpublicly appealing for the Assas-sins to get in touch.
At the time, the group held outagainst jumping into a deal hastily,and only now, after six months ofnegotiations, have they signed toEMI via Greg Wilson's MurdertoneProductions, a company specifical-ly set up to look after the creativeside of the Ruthless Rap Assassinsand KISS AMC. Murdertone will behandling all studio arrangements,and will complement EMI's market-ing, promotion and media back-up.
KISS AMC are, in fact, in thestudio already: Christine (KISS) andAnne Marie (AMC) are working onwhat, in September, will be theirfirst commercially -released single,Let -Off. It looks likely that a newversion of the eponymous KISSAMC, the girls' side of that rarer -than -gold dust white label, will alsoform the b -side of this release,since demand for it still remainshigh. Future material for the duowill generally be written, accordingto Murdertone, by Kermit andAnderson of the Ruthless RapAssassins, but in the immediate fu-ture, the group itself is to spendAugust in the studio recording fivenew tracks from which an autumnrelease will be selected.
There is also news on the livefront. 5o far this year, the Assassinsand KISS AMC have only playedone gig, a spectacular appearanceat Manchester's Hacienda clubwhich was a key element in EMI'sdecision to sign the groups. Anational tour has now been plan-ned for the latter part of the year,but there is also the possibility of "afew selected appearances" be-forehand, which will almost cer-tainly tie in with promotion for theEMI debuts.
Greg Wilson's Murdertone Pro-ductions is now based at HanoverHouse, 14 Hanover Square, Lon -

don W1 R OBE (Tel. 01 904 3982).The company aims to use its dancefield expertise in offering servicesto their record labels, etc, includingproduction, remixing (most recentproject has been Yello's The Race),club and radio promotion, graphicdesign, press, and specialist dealerpromotion in the South and North-West of England.
Graphicrooves
A RECENT addition to the UKdance label roster is Graphic Re-cords, formed by experienceddance industry figures LindsayWester, Heddi Greenwood andGordon McNamee. The label kick-ed off two months ago as KissRecords, and its first releaseappeared under that banner priorto the decision to "go Graphic".The second, due on August 15, willnow launch the label proper.
Graphic's aim is to concentrateon compilation albums of classicand/or hard -to -find Seventies andearly Eighties dance music, and thefirst LP dug into the vaults of USSalsoul Records, emerging witheight long -deleted classics whichnonetheless still light up many adancefloor, including Double Exp-osure's Ten Per Cent, Aurra's AreYou Single?, and Loleqtta Hollo-
way's All About The Papers. Title ofthe set was Salsoul 1 (Kiss LIPS 1).
The August compilation is titledBoogie Tunes (Graphic LIPS 2),and as the compilers point out,represents more a feel and attitudein dance music (as in "get downand boogie") rather than a label orcity sound or a recognised genre.Licensed variously from Buddah,West End, Alston, JWP and Sunny -view Records in the US, the set'sseven lengthy cuts include TaanaGardner's Work That body, MiltonWright's Keep It Up (previouslymuch bootlegged), and others bythe likes of Melba Moore, Micheleand Black Ivory. Graphic is based at: 12 Green-land Street, London NW1 OND.(Tel. 01 284 1285.)
Top HouseHAVING HAD consistent chartsuccess during the last year with itsBest Of House compilation albums,Serious Records is to shortly market10 of them as a boxed set, to beentitled Serious ... The HouseStory So Far. LPs included areVolumes 1 to 4 of the Best OfHouse series, Mad On House 1,Best of House Mega Mix 1 and 2,and the double album Acid Trax 2.The set will be launched to thepublic via the Serious RecordsRoadshow, which will be visitingmore than 50 clubs nationwideover the next few weeks with Se-rious House Nights.

TALENT
DOROTHY- Still Waiting, but the hits are coming
Dotby Martin AstonIF YOU'VE ever wondered justhow groups ever think up theirnames, then Dorothy's reason is
better than most- by coincidence,both Gina Birch and Vicky Aspi-nall's parents had their first dates atCambridge's Dorothy Tea Rooms.The Wizard Of Oz connection ar-rived as an afterthought: "it addedanother interest and flavour to it",smiles singer Gina, "but we didn'tchoose it because of that. Actual-ly", she confides, "SomewhereOver The Rainbow was the firstsong I ever sung on stage at theage of six!"
The duo are currently celebrat-ing the release of their debut sing-le. Still Waiting (incidentally, amore unknown Prince song) onChrysalis' Blue Guitar offshoot, andthe song's subsequent Radio Onespins. Kylie Minogue and MikeReid voted it single of the week onRound Table, which must havecaused some very wry smiles fromthe two girls, both ex -members oflate Seventies 'radical punkheroines' The Raincoats.
In contrast to that group's origin-al 'anti -style' style comparable tothe latterday 'shambling' mode ofplaying, Dorothy delves into theworld of black dance grooves withStill Waiting's seductive lovers' reg-gae pulse, the slippery samplingand scratching that propels the b -side Frog Prince and the House -influenced Breadwinner. All sup-remely commercial, but did theA&R men initially distrust Dorothybecause of their 'radical' RoughTrade background?
"I think they tended to like themusic more than perhaps the ideaof us. Perhaps we weren't themarketable women that theyhoped we might be" says Gina.Vicky adds:
"The manager who was takingthe tapes round for us is and wasScritti Politti's manager who alsomade the transition from RoughTrade to a major and changedtheir sound, and he was obviouslytrying to sell us in a similar way."
Dorothy's image has the air ofAudrey Hepburn Fifties film star
PAGE 20
glamour. Vicky explains: "It's apastiche in a way. It's about mak-ing a conscious construction of thatimage, pretending we're glamor-ous."
Dorothy quote examples ofother singers who have managedto confront women's images -Annie Lennox, Cyndi Lauper andMadonna for three. Can Dorothybe as successful? The debut album,The Sweetest Pain is released inAugust. I don't think they'll be wait-ing too much longer.
CLIVE GRIFFIN: soul searching
Hey goodlookingby Nick RobinsonTHERE'S NO doubt that Clive Grif-fin is a charming, good-lookingyoung man yet as we walk along aLondon street and girls turn theirheads to gaze he confesses anaivety rarely shown in the popworld.
"Everyone keeps telling me thatgirls keep looking at me but I neverseem to notice until its too late," headmits.
But then he probably had hismind on something else. Thesedays, music plays the biggest partin his life and as his record com-pany (Phonogram) grooms him tobecome the next successful Britishsoul singer, the young man fromReigate is intent that the product iseven smarter than his image.
Griffin's debut album was writtenand half recorded before he hadeven signed a contract and fromworking out demos in his bedroom
to doing the final mix he has madesure he knows exactly what is
going on."I make a point of being in-
volved in absolutely everything. I
don't like to let any of the controlor decision -making go to anyoneelse. I wouldn't have it any otherway," says Griffin.
The unassuming and relaxed sin-ger is now concentrating on prom-oting his second single, the smoothdance track Don't Make Me Wait.At the same time, he has beenworking on his live performanceswhich have included a support slotto Al Green - "Live work is veryimportant to me. I don't want to beseen as just another studio act".
And when he's not on a stage orin the studio, Griffin is sorting outthe finances of his own productioncompany. "Through that I man-aged to work out how much itwould cost to produce the albumand how much I needed to survivefor a year and I was able to do thewhole thing very cheaply and notwaste money."
Eat tothe beatby Ian WatsonBECOMING THE first indie bandto play in Russia and releasing asingle which deals with nucleardestruction and disposable con-sumerism sound like the last thingsthat Pop Will Eat Itself would getmixed up in. But since returningfrom Russia they seem to havethrown off their beer -swilling, sexistlad type image and found credibil-ity with the press. Suddenly PWEIare a serious band. As Richard(bass/guitar) says:
"Def Con was written before wewent to Russia which I think willdestroy some misconceptions. I
don't think it's a particularly serioussingle, just our first one that isn'tabout girls."
Def Con One stands for Defen-sive Control One which is part ofthe countdown towards nucleararmageddon. The song combinesthe gloomy background of globaldestruction with people rushingaround trying to get their hands ona Big Mac. Richard explains: "BigMac's just a symbol for disposableconsumer goods. People are moreinterested in consumer productsthan what's going on in the world.Having said that, the song's not astatement, more of a comment onwhat's going on." Their comment,however, ran foul of the RadioOne censors who deemed that therepetition of the word Big Mac inthe song was some form of adver-tising. A re-recorded version wasreleased and has charted.
Def Con One also continuesPWEI's delving into the world ofsampling and demonstrates howPWEI's sound certainly has come along way since the early Buzz -cocky thrash that put them in thespotlight. Many people view themas having two distinct styles, onecompletely different from theother, and criticise them for having"sold out". Richard's view is that"all that's changed is the technolo-gy. The songwriting's remained thesame but we now use differentinstruments such as drum machinesand samplers. We've justbroadened our horizons."
LISA CARTER: enterprising
Lisa witha P Lby Selina WebbSESSION SINGING and startingyour own business may seem milesapart in the employment stakes, but20 -year -old Lisa Carter hasproved that the two can go hand inhand.
Carter, whose Doctor's Orderssingle (remixed at PWL) is out onParlophone, spent a year workingin her native Birmingham as avocalist on the Government Enter-prise Allowance Scheme, a facilitynormally associated with unem-ployed people keen to start dress-making businesses or workshops.
"I was quite surprised that theylet me join the scheme, when I usedto go to the job centre they wouldsay 'no jobs for popstars'," sheremembers. Carter believes thescheme is an ideal opportunity foryoung musicians and singers togain experience, and puts her dealwith Parlophone down to the exp-osure she gained while working asa session singer in and aroundBirmingham.
'When you are starting out youhave to do work for free to getyourself known and that's when the£40 a week comes in handy," shesays. "It's certainly a great help toanyone wanting to break into themusic business - it stops them be-coming discouraged becausethey've got nothing to live on."
Carter's debut single, Doctor'sOrders, has been remixed by PeteHammond at PWL and was re-leased on August 1.
Ford
popularby Adam BlakeTHAT HIGHLY -respected Califor-nian guitarist Robben Ford, has justreleased Talk To Your Daughter(WEA), the first die-hard rockingblues record to be given a thor-oughly contemporary production.
"Yeah", says Ford, "I think it's thefirst time it's been done." With realdrums? "Oh definitely real drums!That album is practically live. That'salways been my approach tomusic."
What concert plans then?"None that are solidified. I hope tobe on the road in September. I'dlove to come back to London anddo a week at Ronnie's or some-thing like that."
Ford, renowned for his workwith Joni Mitchell and Miles Davis,
ROBBEN FORD: die-hard rockingblues
doesn't regard himself as a sessionmusician. "I've never really done alot. Those jobs I got were most likejoining a band but my main goalhas always been to make my ownmusic, make my own records, frontmy own group." And this rocking,jazzy kind of blues is what youwant to do? "Yes. That's preciselythe point."
Ford says that WEA want to let asingle 'emerge' but agrees that thetitle track, an old J B Lenoir song,would be ideal. With its totally con-temporary sound and its timelesstune and message, maybe it couldblow the whole scene wide openfor some real, rocking blues. Fordpositively sparkles, "wouldn't thatbe somethin'", he murmurs.
AFTER NEARLY a year in detention in South Africa, Mzwakhe Mbuli, 'thedub poet of Soweto' was released last month. 'We are hopeful that hewill tour here in October" says Lance Williamson of World Circuit whichhad to cancel last year's tour by Mbuli who was due to appear with BillyBragg. Meanwhile World Circuit are importing copies of Mzwakhe'sChange Is Pain from the German label Piranha. Distribution is through TheCartel. DL
MUSIC WEEK 20 AUGUST, 1988
BeatrootsCambridge FolkFestivalcoincided withanother groundswell of interestin the genre.Duncan Hollandand John Toblerwere there torecord thehighlights of anever-growingeventFOLK THREATENED to pull a ham-string at the Cambridge Festivalby finally stretching itself too far,but the magic sponge of varietyeventually saved the day, to seethe music fit and fighting foranother contest.
Independent observation had itthat this was the best -everattended event with drinker ming-ling with folkie as biker banteredwith aesthete. And of course therewas something for everyone, fromthe chrome -polished professional-ism of the Blues Band, showbiz ina wet field to the exuberance ofDavid Rudder, bringing a touchof soca to the sodden.
This Cambridge probablyachieved one unique event, a per-formance by an artist with a cur-rent top 40 hit. That Tanita Tikar-am emerged a somewhat sulkyand mis-placed turn is less theproblem of the organisers' visionthan it is of the artist's own inex-perience. It was simply the wrongsetting, but was embraced and en-joyed as far as it went. Tikaram, wefeel will fare better in the future.
Getting a mite more trad. andlet's raise another glass, were Pat-rick Street, that Irish super -groupdripping talent and bonhomie. Po-lite best describes their reception,yet working hard at a heritagefinally brought the required re-sponse with the curious applaudingand the converted yelping.
Crowd scuffles (c'mon chaps, thisis a folk festival) threatened to ruin10,000 Maniacs' set, but musicand Natalie Merchant won theday. Despite this reviewer's rathertiresome habit of mis-naming them
NICK LOWE: the Jesus of folk?
CHRISTY MOORE: master of histrade
10,000 Mexicans, they earnt theirplace on the bill by combiningMerchant's heel and toe antics tothe exquisite pop -folk (that's a newone) of Don't Talk and all the rest.A commanding performance, odd-ly out of place to start, but comfort-ably fitting in conclusion.
Brendan Croker did the usualstuff, very commendably too. He'ssucceeded in taking that peculiarYorkshire country -blues a coupleof steps forward to nudge up to analmost jit-like feel, and in his FiveO'Clock Shadows, he's got somedamn fine players. Which is morethan can be said for his specialguests, Billy Bragg, Wiggy and theleaping Andy Kershaw. Good funthough, and Bragg gets the awardfor joke of the festival: "Let meintroduce you to the man withoutwhom this festival would not havebeen possible: .1 R Tolkien".
Clearing the boards for the mainattraction, other mentions go toEdward II And The Red NotPolkas for removing a few han-govers and inducing a few moreand the Oyster Band who nowonly have Fairport Convention asserious contenders as the premierfolk-rock band. Live, as ever, theywere a dynamite blend of the twogenres and if you really give a stufffor those who say there's too muchelectric guitar, you're always goingto find somebody who thinksthere's too much accordion, so youmay as well steer the middle courseand decide for yourself.
Which leaves us with ChristyMoore, passionate and compell-ing as ever. There's little more thatcan be added to the praise heregularly receives, as each per-formance has now reached a de-gree of excellence it would behard to better. Simply he has be-come the master of his trade.

IT WAS marvellous to see NickLowe, for too long absent fromUK stages, playing a couple of setswith just his own guitar. Any pre-monitions of lead balloons weresoon swept away when it becameclear that plenty of the audienceknew the words to anthems like SoIt Goes, Half A Boy & Half A Manand Cruel To Be Kind. Despitenumerous requests, he didn't doSwitchboard Susan, but I Knew TheBride was a triumph, as was a newsong (on which he accompaniedhimself only on bass) about a mod-ern day Noah's ark, a jumbo 747.Surely no-one would have thoughtthey would be joining in on MarieProvost's chorus - "she was awinner, who became a doggy'sdinner" - at a folk festival. Great!
Billy Bragg, John Hammond,Lowe and several other perfor-mers were on hand to watchCharlie Louvin & Charles
Whitstein recreating the highlonesome sound which so influ-enced the Everly Brothers andEmmylou Harris, and the audienceresponse was highly enthusiastic.The same was true of Texantroubadour Guy Clark, whose not-able songs (Desperados WaitingFor A Train, LA Freeway, etc) werefamiliar to a portion of the crowdwho cherished the chance to seethis masterly performer goingthrough his paces. With U2'sMother label one of several in-terested in his now completed newLP, Clark's audience may increasein the near future.

Wish wecould hearNOT MANY people enjoy theprospect of stadium gigs. The pos-sibility of rain and having to playdot -to -dot with your eyes to workout what is happening on stage isenough to put even the most ar-dent fan off.
But those worries were castaside when Pink Floyd appearedat Wembley Stadium. Althoughthe band themselves becameobsolete in terms of appearance(white specks in the distance) thelighting and prop effects took over.
They included a giant sun -likelighting pad above the stage whichwas used throughout the show fordazzling displays of colour andvideo footage to accompany thesongs. Lasers also played a majorpart, at one stage covering thestadium with a roof of light strands.The effect of this and various props- like a giant pig and a bed thatburst into flames as it crashed intothe stage - were stunning.
At times, the music took a secon-dary role and, despite quadropho-nic speakers around the stage,struggled to make much impact.
The more notable (and notice-able) tracks were quieter numberslike Us And Them and the loud,thundering finale of ComfortablyNumb/Run Like Hell (completewith fireworks).
Sadly, Another Brick In The Wallwas disastrously out of sync and ajazzed -up Money became tedious.But for most of the time it was thespectacle of the effects that grab-bed the crowd's attention with themusic providing a pleasant sound-track.

Trouble'n' FifeDESPITE THE fact that Joe Strum-mer, Michelle Shocked and GoWest all failed to show at the FifeAid (Live Earth) Festival at StAndrews, Scotland, there weremany who did.
With mud creeping into everyorifice and a hanging mist, it wasThe Muscle Shoal and Go -SpotTornado who impressed initially.Cajun rockers The Wise Monk-eys and comedian Ian Mortonboth turned in delightful perform-ances, lifting the spirits of a 'Haar -shrouded crowd. On Stage 2, TheBoonierats growled through a
PERFORMANCE_
determined show, but it was TheSugarcubes who really got theevent moving whilst observing thatthe Scottish climate made them feelat home! Jesse Rae pranced,Love And Money seemed some-what unenthusiastic and JackBruce wisely stuck to doing oldCream songs.
Among the main attractions,Runrig performed to uproariouscheers, but Saturday's headlinersMarillion failed to sate the eagerif meagre crowd.
The sun came out briefly on Sun-day, but I hid in the beer tent andwas delighted by the manic NyahFearties. The McLuskeyBrothers and comedien Victor(of Victor & Barry) also impressed.On the main stage, Irish Uilleanpiper Davy Spillane produced adazzling set, followed by TamWhite and later the hard rockingBlues 'N' Trouble. I also took inthe under -rated Cateran, and asultry set from The Primevals.Rather out of place was RickWakeman who seemed trappedin the Seventies. However, the big-gest applause of the day was re-served for John Marlyn who hadflown in especially from Italy. Afteran acoustic version of May YouNever he launched into a superbelectric set.
Last to appear was Van Morri-son (with the Peristalsis Brothers).His set consisted of a dozen or sotunes, including numbers from therecent Irish Heartbeat LP, but wasabruptly cut short by the 1 Opmcurfew imposed by the St Andrews'city fathers.

JOHN MARTYN: applause
Kora chorusWITH AN international band (sax-ophonist Sofi Hellenborg fromSweden, bassist from Guadeloupe,drummer from West Africa) MoryKante, crossover proponent ofthe kora, thrilled a capacity crowdat the Town & Country Club withhis Islamicised singing and theflamboyant dancing that accom-panied the richly textured soundshis band created.
The mix was clear and resonant,the set well paced and Mory'scombination of professionalismand exuberant stage antics over-came any language barrier. Ye KeYe Ke his current chart single, eli-cited an instant response as didAkwaba Beach the title track of hislatest LP. The long set, customaryfor African bands whose homeand audiences are not satisfiedwith less than three or four hoursmusic never became tiresome, pro-ving that all this music needs is theright type of exposure for it to gofar. So, Mory can't eh? Me thinkshe can...

Sweet JaneAS PRINCE flew into London toplay the best part of a week atWembley, a less -trumpeted WEAartist was staging a quieter revolu-tion across town at the ICA.
Recognition of Canadian singer/songwriter Jane Siberry's hugetalent so far only extends to admir-ing reviews. But her incredible per-formance at these shows - plusthe fervour of her well-heeled au-dience - denotes that there's a lotmore to come.
The issue of how she and herband were going to reproduce thedelicacy and precision of the songson her two WEA LPs, The SpecklessSky and this year's The Walking,was immediately answered by theawesome quality of her voice andthe sympathy and skill of her back-ing singers and musicians.
This really was an extraordinari-ly intimate gig, not simply becauseit was the last date of a tour stretch-ing back to March, but because, aswith Kate Bush, there is somethinga little bit magical about JaneSiberry. As the applause after eachnumber lengthened to the point ofstopping the show, it was apparentthat scarcely a soul was going toleave this performance without los-ing some part of their hearts to her.
Reference points (a necessaryevil at this point in her career)begin with the clarity and evoca-tion of Joni Mitchell, touch on thecapriciousness of Kate Bush andmaybe end with the inventivenessof Laurie Anderson. But as for thesongs - and in the manner inwhich Siberry blows apart conven-tional writing form to produceworks of a thousand colours andfeelings, well, there is just no com-parison. It's now just a question ofwhen she's a star - there are no"ifs" about it.
SANDY DEVOTIONAL
Lofty aspirationsAFTER THE Loft split back in 1985,vocalist/guitarist Peter Astorformed The Weather Prophets,while bassist Bill Prince set up TheWishing Stones. When bothgroups shared the bill recently atDingwalls in Camden, it becameclear that they have ended up witha very similar sound. Both havereacted against the overt poppi-ness of The Loft and plumped for aharder, rockier and more US -influenced sound.
After several line-up changes theWishing Stones are beginning tofind their feet. Their new bassist is abit pedestrian but their guitarist, areal Seventies casualty whonamechecks Brian Connolly of TheSweet, just lurves to rock out. AndBill Prince is improving all the timeas a song writer - for evidencelisten to the excellent new single,Old Road Out Of Town on therecently -formed Sub Aqua label.
The Weather Prophets have al-ways released fine records buttheir early live shows were tooheavy and plodding. But they hadthe balance right for their runthrough of the best tracks fromtheir two LPs, Mayflower and therecent Judges, Juries and Horse-men. The set lost momentum whenPeter Astor attempted a couple ofsongs unaccompanied, but excel-lent versions of Almost Prayed,Hollow Heart and the forthcomingsingle, Always The Light more thanmade up for this lapse.

THE HOUSE OF LOVE: chiming classic
Songbook, due for release inSeptember and a tantalising pre-view it is too.jSTOCK IT
THE HOUSE OF LOVE: DestroyThe Heart (Creation CRE 057T).Already being touted as one of thebands to watch out for in '88, TheHouse Of Love have produced aclassic single driven by chimingguitars and Guy Chadwick's re-laxed but rich vocals that couldwell see them achieving a healthychart placing.
DJ JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESHPRINCE: Parents Just Don'tUnderstand (Jive JIVE T18). Theboyz have come up with a hila-rious rap about teenage angst andgetting in trouble with Ma and Pathat bounces along to a casualhorns and beatbox rhythm andlooks set to repeat its success inAmerica over here.
THE WILD SWANS: BibleDreams (WEA W7765T). Anotherstirring guitar -based number fromthe revamped Liverpudlian bandthat sounds not too dissimilar torecent Bunnymen and should givethis talented group the recognitionthey deserve.
ERNEST WILSON: I've Been Lov-ing You (Legal Light LIQ11). Thisis a fine, colourful cover of the OtisRedding classic by reggae maestroWilson that as well as having awell -produced and soothingrhythm manages to retain a soulfulvocal touch.
jSTOCK ITBOUNCE THE MOUSE: Will YouEver Say? (Mousetrap RecordsBTM1). Produced by Chris Nagle,this is a delightful slice of feverishindie pop from the curiously -titledBounce The Mouse that has anenticing bass -line and somegorgeous Wedding Present -styleguitarwork. Worth checking out.
RUBY TURNER: Signed, Sealed,Delivered I'm Yours (JIVERTST4). The wonderful Miss Turnerreturns to wrap her soulful vocalsaround this Stevie Wonder numberwhich is also a track off a wholealbum of covers The Motown
ONE HAND ONE HEART: Mira-cle Heart (Epic WUN T1). Despitethe leather jackets and long hair,this ain't no heavy metal band butmore a smart, passionate soul outfitthat has produced a late nightsmoother with some strong croon-ing and sparkling keyboards.
SCRITTI POLITTI: First Boy InThis Town (Lovesick) (Virgin VST1082). Green and Gamson haveconcocted an untouchable soundthanks to crystal clear productionand some damn catchy tunes. Thisone is no exception and deservesall the credit it gets.
STOCK I T
MY BLOODY VALENTINE: YouMade Me Realise (Creation CRE055 (T)). Having saved themselvesfrom becoming pretentious janglypop casualties My Bloody Valen-tine are mighty impressive with thissub -psychedelic grunging guitartrack that twists and turns beautiful-ly.
A7STOCK IT'E': Bat-Trax (Circle City RecordsCCYT7). This has to be one of thefinest Acid House tracks this yearwith its clever Batman dialoguecut -ups and a dynamite funkyrhythm. Check out the B-side 'E' toofor more compelling aciduousgrooves.
DEAD OR ALIVE: Turn AroundAnd Count To Ten (Epic BURNS4). Pete Burns and crew crop upagain with this dreadful hi -energydance track that sounds like aDivine/Blow Monkeys crossoverbut nowhere near as good aseither.
PIXIES: Gigantic (4AD BAD 805).A track from the Boston band'sexcellent Surfer Rosa album thatperfectly combines a heart thump-ing rhythm with frenzied meshedguitars and a crushing chorus.Bold, solid and fascinating.
STOCK IT_.]
H.F.M.: Peanuts (Circle City Re-cords PTI). It had to happen.Someone hcs picked up on thatannoying Peanuts telly ad andturned it into an even moreannoying holiday record. The in-clusion of Oops Upside Your Head,Hot Hot Hot and That's The Way ILike It is bcund to make this asurefire club smash.
MIDGE URIE: Answers To No-thing (Chrysalis URE5). A wel-come return Dy Ure with an infec-tious African -influenced drumrhythm and a heartfelt vocal pleafor peace that starts well but driftsaway somewhat.
SPLATT: Ja:ezin' Up (Sophisti-cated Noise SN1). This really is anexcellent House/funk workout withsome cool vocals and a breezy,jazzy rhythm Dnd some clever sam-pled dialogue to match. Could bethe surprise club hit of the year.
GUNS 'N' ROSES: Sweet Child0' Mine (Geffen GEF 43). Coin-ciding with their appearance at thisyear's Monsters Of Rock festival,this American rock/metal bandcomes up with a lame track fromtheir successful Appetite For Des-truction album which features somehorrible whining vocals.
L _j STOCK ITBOMB THE BASS: Megablast/Don't Make Me Wait (RhythmKing DOOD 2). DJ Tim Simenonfollows up Beat Dis and does itagain with an articulate collectionof samples held together by thetheme song from John Carpenter'sAssault On Precinct 13 film backedwith the more mainstream dancenumber Don'' Make Me Wait. ButMegablast is definitely the one towatch out for.
JEROME RUSSELL: Go For Gold(Sunnyside Records STYLE 2)/KOREANA: Hand In Hand (Poly-dor P013). Two songs for theOlympics, the former in aid of theBritish athletes and the latter theopening ceremony theme. To behonest, both are predictably naffbut Go For Gold at least has acheery rhythm unlike the pompousHand In Hand which, sadly, is morelikely to shift units.
K.T. OSLIN: Younger Men (RCAPB49531). A hongue-in-cheek dittyin which the talented New Countrysinger is dete-mined to make surethat life begins at 40 and someraunchy guitar work helps her onher way.
MAXI PRIEST: Goodbye To LoveAgain (10 Records TEN 238). Agentle Lindo, Dunbar andShakespeare production findsMaxi fully utili;ing his soothing voc-als over a sorrowful, relaxed reg-gae rhythm complete with somefine harmonica playing by JuddLander.
CONGRATULATIONS TOregular singles reviewer JerrySmith, married to Electra onthe eighth of the eighth, eightyeight. He will be back in busi-ness from August 23, so in themeantime please address allsingles for review to DaveLaing at Mbsic Week.

LP REVIEWS
JSTOCK ITANDY LEEK: Say Something.Atlantic 781864-1. The sleeve hasan endorsement from producerGeorge Martin and it isn't hype!Leek can sing as magically as TimBuckley and some of his lyrics areas concise and perceptive as Ber-nie Taupin's. The stand -out tracksinclude the dramatic and mysticalGolden Doors and What's TheProblem, a realistic grown-up lovestory. As a singer -songwriter debutthis is as auspicious as Elton John orCat Stevens' first albums were.Highly recommended. DL
PETER CETERA: One More Story.WEA 925704-1. The ex -Chicagovocalist is climbing the Americanchart with One Good Womanfrom this album co -produced andmainly co -written with PatrickLeonard. As his 1986 success withThe Glory Of Love proved, a hitwill be needed to ignite UK salesfor this competent and pleasantcross-section of AOR material. DL
OLDLAND MONTANO: TheTime Has Come. Siren SRNLP 17.It's got all the elements - funkbass, lots of brassy keyboards, un-distinguished drums, passionlessvocals - that characterise 99 percent of white soul/funk. The pas-sion and guts of a Whitney or anAretha are conspicuously lackingand the intrumentation is so deriva-tive you can't begin to list who it'sderived from. SD
DEVO: Total Devo. EnigmaENVLP 502. Distribution: Virgin.In this the year of techno-garbage,ancient synth seers and generalsmart alecs, Devo return with theirfirst album in four years. No longersubversive, no longer even funny,they can still write tunes to pleasethe ear and stimulate the odd toe.Baby Doll, should it be released asa single, may do the business. DC
BRASS CONSTRUCTION:Movin', The Best Of Syco-pate SYLPX 6002. Via EMI. Huge-ly generous compilation (onealbum plus free 12 -inch equals 84minutes) although you have to be abeliever to really appreciate theprolonged groove. Both versionsof Movin' are included, as well aslesser known tablets of fresh funksuch as Ha Cha Cha, Shakit andMusic Makes You Feel Like Dan-cin'. DC
STOCK ITTHE WOULD-BE GOODS: TheCamera Loves Me. el Records.Distribution: Pinnacle. Mike Al -way's fascinating el label is finallygetting some attention, simply be-cause the records are getting bet-ter, like this debut by Miranda andJessica Griffin: two sisters, high onsophisticated image, confec-tionary -box voices and light, di-verting pop songs. Given the girls'upwardly mobile appearance andthis album's eminently summerycollection, could be this season'sdark horse. Bet on it now. MA
RUSS TOLMAN: Down In Earth-quake Town. Demon FIEND 125.Distribution: Pinnacle. A furtherexample of the ground -breaking
music produced by LA's inaccur-ately dubbed Paisley Under-ground, Tolman's second albumdisplays his vocal style which byturns resembles Lou Reed, PeterPerrett and John Wayne. Aided bymates like Long Ryder Sid Griffinand Dream Syndicate's SteveWynn, this is not standard popfare, but well worth a listen for theseeker out of non -mainstreamforward -looking rock. iT
THE MONOCHROME SET:Westminister Affair. el Records.Distribution: Pinnacle. More anexcuse to get The MonochromeSet onto CD than to resuscitatetheir cult status of old, this re-trospective celebrates Bid & Co,1982-85, the period after theirtwo Virgin Records releases. Thenew wave had its fair share ofgood but unrecognised groups, butThe Monochrome Set's graceful,cheeky and archly satirical pop hasbeen one of the most lasting. MA
THE PERFECT DISASTER: AsylumRoad, Fire Records FIRE LP11.Distribution: Pinnacle. Steamyrock plodders with a man desper-ately impersonating Lou Reed intothe bargain. The Perfect Disasterare nice to listen to, but so is thecricket commentary when you'rewinning. Cult rock fodder, a Sixtiesrecording brief and some tinglyguitars. DEH
17 STOCK ITTHE PARACHUTE MEN: The In-nocents. Fire FIRE LP14. Dis-tribution: Pinnacle. Leeds hot-heads with some glinting resembl-ence to cred pop stars. Beautifulsongs, melodies that massage yourneck and the best white femalevocal line since Dusty and Sandie.The opener, Sometimes In Vain isorgasmic, the rest follows suit in acontemporary pop vein. These lotshould be massive. DEH
MUSIC WEEK 20 AUGUST, 1988
DEACON BLUE: Raintown/Riches. CBS 450459 1. Press there -promotion button and up popsthe first LP, plus a 'strictly limitededition' free LP of b -sides. All veryworthy in language of marketing,but could anyone honestly recom-mend to those who bought theoriginal single LP, that this was acrucial addition to the collection?

ACOUSTIC ALCHEMY; NaturalElements. MCA -42125. Down ourway we used to call chaps withacoustic guitars folk artists, or evenmusicians. Now we call them NewAge and start apologising. AAsave the day by being rather goodat what they do, virtuosity with atad of passion, but seem likely tofollow in this peculiar trend of a

policy without a conclusion. Play-ing and playing well doesn't reallyappear to be enough if you don'thave a category. That's sad. DH
THE SHAMEN: Strange DayDreams. Materiali Sonori MASO33041. Only available on import,this collection of remixes, raritiesetc captures the spinning light-headedness of The Shamen's beat -box psychedelic. Syd Barrett influ-ences are acknowledged but theScots lads prove their own origi-nality with the classic ChristopherMayhew Says (A Lot) and KnatureOf A Girl (Submission). NR
DAVID RUDDER: Haiti. LondonLONLP 60. There's enough energyflowing in this refreshing set ofbright and breezy songs from Trini-dad's soca king to set a lot ofbellies rolling, and waists shakingespecially to lilting tracks like Bac-chanal Lady, Panama, and the tri-bute to those who have contri-buted to cricket in Rally Round TheWest Indies. OD
THE KURSAAL FLYERS: A For-mer Tour De Force Is Forced ToTour. Waterfront WF 004. Dis-tribution: Backs/Cartel. The Kur-saals were one of the best mid -Seventies pub rock bands,although their excellence was nev-er captured on vinyl until now. Fourof these songs are as good asyou'll hear this year, with perform-ances to match. The other six tracksare merely above average, andthis one will sell if it's heard. IT
VARIOUS: House HallucinatesPump Up London Vol. One.A&M HSEA 9002. A wicked col-lection of Acid House tracks thatleave everything to the imagina-tion and encourage the listener toget funky and let the sublime beatsslip under the skin. The feast ofmind -numbing grooves - includ-ing Phuture and Mr Lee - alsocomes complete with psychedelicsleeve. NR
MORY KANTE: Akwaba Beach.Barclay BA 833 119. A fewmonths ago Mory Kante was tak-ing credit together with his percus-sionist Moussa Cissokae for con-tribution to the Talking HeadsNaked album. Now with the hitsingle Ye Ke Ye Ke spinning wildlyon the independent radios, thisalbum has assured the Malianmusician the title of African rock -star. The goodness of Kante's musiccomes to light as he mixes tradi-tional African melody with modernpop and rock tempo and the saleson this one should be massive. OD

As I stepped out of my over he. ed Californiahot tub, feeling like don moil, is
Englishman could only think of one thing - thecool and precise way in which HENDRING,consistently sends 'deo cassettes of the mostdiverse recordi g artists to sell in the AlpineCassette Kell,rs of the Tyrol Alps and thebasement video stores of Berlin, Bordeaux,Barcelona, Cergen, and other spots of videoparadise, or rapid consumption by those whowake up ith only one ray of sunshine in anotherwise cloudy day - "a new HENDRINGrelease in my local video store, perchance" ...Fro the mysterious clubs of New York, to themarble clad offices of Hollywood recordcompanies and the managers of optimistic
rtists - is seen the shadow of a figure - it'sRos. r Ellman in his guise of "acquisition man"swe ping up the rights to even morehot- elling concert and compilation musicvide. to swell the ranks of HENDRING's
Euro an music -on -video army. Remember,HENDIn G poses no threats to the nationalbounda ies of Europe - just the danger of avast arr y of entertainment!!! Any artist whocan sin« play, make the charts, and make theaudience ome out and listen should seek thepinnacle - their wor appearing on HENDRING!All I know is that HEND ING deserves a little bitof genius- I give it a lot!HENDRING: TRUE MU..

Earlier thisyear the ICAheld its firstmusic videoprogramme togreat success.Sarah Davisreports onhow thesecond eventis hoping toonce againgive young,undiscoveredfilm makersvital exposure
WHEN LONDON'SICA held its first musicvideo programme inJanuary it never ex-
pected such a major success. Bothcritics and the public flocked to theICA's Cinematheque to soak up thesights and sounds. Delighted withthe acclaim, Kate Leys, ICA associ-ate director of cinema, began toorganise the second event. Run-ning from 15 to 27 August, therewill be two shows a night featuringvideos of a wide variety of new orup-and-coming artists: Fields OfThe Nephilim, The Wonderstuff,
Sneak previewThe Fall, Durutti Column, Gene andJim, Tackhead, Psychic TV andmore. The videos are all made byyoung film makers and the ICA'saim is to give them a forum todisplay their work.
The music videos are providedby students, independent produc-tion houses and record companies.Leys explains: "The ICA supportswhat is not being seen about, thatwhich is artistically or culturally un-represented; art that doesn't makemuch money. We make an audi-ence and get reviews. In this case, itallows the young film makers tobring work to public and pressattention and interests producers inoffering them work." A noble idea,but does it work? Leys says yes."After the last series of shows, I wasdeluged with calls from the BBC,IN, MTV, independent producers,all wanting to get in contact withthe film makers."
After the event it's easy to seewhy a music video screeningwould be a success. But Leys wasn'tat all sure at the outset so whatdecided her to stage the firstevent? "I was being sent tapes byall sorts of people, students, direc-tors, struggling production houses. Ilooked at the tapes and realisedhow good many of them are.They're funny and stylish -a lot of
GENE AND Jim's Shake video produced by The Unit
them are just great - not justpieces of PR, not like a GeorgeMichael video for example." Shethen realised there just wasn't anyplace for these videos to be seen.
"The Tube had gone, MTVshows a few, some local night clubsare willing to show them. But it'svery little. There's no place foryoung film makers to start in theUK, the film industry is based onbig budgets. There's no money forthe beginner. Music promos arethe format for a new and exciting
video medium where film makerscan get experience because re-cord companies are enthusiasticand willing to allow film makers toexperiment. I began to think abouthow to do something with all thisexciting material and decided tomake an event of music promos."
To get the project going Leysworked with Chris Mellor of CNHProductions who was puttingtogether a compilation of promotapes. Mellor provided her with aninitial list of record company con -
'Music promosare the formatfor a new andexciting videomedium wherefilm makers canget experience'tacts to obtain tapes and permis-sion to show them. Many werepleased to be involved. She says"Chris Johnson from Polydor wasincredibly supportive. He got reallyinto to it and gave me names ofpeople in lots of other record com-panies."
Another find was Mark Wight -wick of The Unit, an independentproduction house. Wightwick pro-vided expertise and also videos forthe screenings. The Unit's video ofGene and Jim, which will be onshow during the August event, is afrenetic happening of rich colourand movement. Well worth seeing.Wightwick was delighted to helpLeys out: "The last ICA show wasfab. It's attitude towards promos isvery good. Lots of institutions putpromos in the same basket as shortfilms when they are an entity intheir own right. Kate is very goodat recognising the fine quality ofwork from young film makers."
Leys says it was heartbreaking inJanuary to have to turn peopleaway every night. Bear this in mindif you plan to catch some of theshows because this time round itshould be even better. And bewarned: guest lists are restricted tothose who can offer work to thefilm makers.

IiikUS ON HEAVY METALmom
Castle Doningtonis not onlyEurope's largestannual rockevent, it's also acelebration of thecontinuing andthriving area ofheavy metal.Paul Hendersonlooks at thisyear's bill andthe history of anevent that flys inthe face offashion, but stillpacks in thepunters
Kings of the castleIN TERMS of "big gigs", 1988
has been something of a redletter year in the UK. NelsonMande!la's birthday bash
brought together the most impress-ive collection of "name" perfor-mers since Live Aid, Springsteentransformed the expanse ofWembley Stadium into the moreintimate surroundings of his TunnelOf Love, Michael Jackson domin-ated the media for what seemedlike an age and attained an unpre-cedented level of high profile exp-osure, the long-awaited Princedates finally materialised and thelong -absent Pink Floyd returnedwith the most spectacular audio-visual experience on the planet.
Most (if not all) of it, of course,totally bypassed the heavy rockfan. Or if it did register at all it lefthim decidedly unimpressed. Biggigs they may have been. "But," heor she would doubtless counter,"it's hardly bloody Donington, is it?!"
Like Stonehenge for the Druids,
GUNS N' ROSES: the boogie end of the market
Chelsea for fans of flower andshrub, and Wembley for the foot-ball hooligan, once a year - inthis case August Bank Holiday, forthe heavy rock/metal fan all roadslead to Castle Donington nearNottingham, for the Monsters OfRock festival.
An annual pilgrimage for50,000 -plus fans to see and hearhalf -a -dozen of the world's bestbands of the genre, the MonstersOf Rock - or, as it is more oftenreferred to, simply Donington(which also differentiates betweenit and its European and US coun-terparts) - is the undisputed high-light of the heavy rock calendar. Interms of both attendance figuresand also the "quality" of the bands,Donington certainly eclipses anyother regular musical event in theUK.
'Well people keep telling me it'sthe biggest regular one in theworld," says Maurice Jones ofMonsters ... promoter MCP. "AndI don't know of anything of a simi-lar size that's been running for nineyears.
"For AC/DC (in '84, Donning -ton's most successful year) attend-ance was in the mid -60s - in the60,000s," reckons Jones. "Theattendance averages out over theyears at about 50,000. But I've gota feeling that this year will be thebiggest."
"It's certainly the biggest inEurope," says Tim Parsons, also ofMCP. "The only main competition ithas would be Torhout and Werch-ter, in Belgium, which are two fes-tivals that take place in July. Theyare very well promoted and verysuccessful, with something like60,000 per show on a sell-out.Then there's the Texxas Jam inDallas, but I don't know how con-sistently that's run. This year, withthe Monsters Of Rock package (USversion), Texxas Jam did just under60,000 out of 65,000."
Whereas big American eventstend to be staged in the cosy com-fort of an arena, an important ele-ment to the feel of Donington is its"outdoor festival" nature, harkingback to the great days of the Isle ofWight and Bath festivals. Withoutsuch ingredients as the aroma of
KISS: MAKE -up and believe
burgers drifting across the fields,mixing in the night air with theheavy pong from oveburdenedportaloos, yards of plastic sheeting,strangely symbolic Confederateand personally designed "find -your -way -back -to -this -spot" flagspoking into the air, ... and mud, itjust wouldn't seem the same. And inspite of the often appalling weath-er conditions and all the other in-conveniences of "the festival" thatone could expect would dull thespirits of even the most fervent rockfan, it's doubtful whether theDonington regulars would want it
any other way.The first Monsters .../Donington
was in 1980, at the same Doning-ton Park race track site as it hasalways been held, with headlinersRainbow supported by such asJudas Priest and the Scorpions. Thefollowing year it was bill -toppersAC/DC with Whitesnake and BlueOyster Cult,. then the next year itwas Quo ... Suddenly it was aregular annual event, which is
what promoters MCP was actuallylooking towards right from the firstyear but never really expected it tohappen.

HEAVY METAL
DAVE LEE ROTH: re -strutting a stage he conquered with Van Haien
Successive years saw headlinerssuch as Whitesnake, AC/DC(again), ZZ Top (the first US bandto top the bill), Ozzy Osbourneand, last year, Bon Jovi, all ofwhom except AC/DC had pre-viously appeared at Donington be-fore in a supporting role.
This year features what MCP isconvinced is a particularly strongbill. Headliners Iron Maiden willnot be touring this year, Kiss ha-ven't been over for a while, DavidLee Roth hasn't worked over hereexcept with Van Halen ... "It's avery well-balaced bill," observesJones, "and it's a good bill." Andinterestingly, with Guns N' Rosesand Helloween rounding off thisyear's list, it's also the first time sincethe second Donington eight yearsago that none of the bands on thebill will have appeared there be-fore.
After nine years, Monsters ...has become a very recognisedname, and there are now also USand European versions, the latterusually being one date in Scandi-navia and a couple in Germany.Different promoters - includingOzzy Osbourne's wife, Sharon, for,the US - own ther.mpxright

different countries, and there is nodirect connecton between thepromoters or the events. There ishowever a connection betweenDonington and the European ver-sions in terms of the bands whoplay, simply because it forms partof a European touring circuit, andas a result there is quite a bit ofduplication.
The strength and key to successof each Donington festival is thatMCP's intention has always beento put together a good package ofmusic - going for an out-and-outheadliner, certainly, "but then youtry to get as close as possible tothat band with the rest of the bill,"says Jones.
Parsons: "Last year we were alittle bit worried, because we hadAnthrax and Metallica, who repre-sent what I might call the 'left wing'of Heavy Metal, Bon Jovi whorepresent the 'right wing', and Dioin the centre. But it worked fine.
"Out of courtesy we would al-ways speak with the headlinegroup. Basically it's an event, but atthe same time the event is only asstrong as the headliner, and theyare consulted at all times. And it's
13,14.4(4-911y through the headliner's
agent that the rest of he bill comestogether. For instance this year,Iron Maiden, Kiss, Megadeth andGuns N' Roses are all with FairWarning."
How much the bands get paid toplay at Donington is difficult tojudge and even more difficult tofind out. "It's like me asking youhow much you earn each week,isn't it?" was Jones's answer. Andeven though I was willing to do atrade, the most information I couldget was that it's "a lot of money."Another thing he would say,however, in order to dismiss anynotion that MCP would be willingto take advantage of any possiblewillingness of bands to arrange a"buy -on" to such a prestigiousevent, was that all bands havealways received a fee - "and afair one, at that."
It's the combination of the block-buster headliner, quality supportand a certain musical "consistency"down the line (as opposed to themusical diversity of something likethe Reading festival) that has madeDonington a powerful institutionand so important to the fans. And,consequently, as it has come toreflect the state of heavy rock andthe "standing" of the bands, it hasbecome increasingly important tothose bands. Most of them, andparticularly the American bands,regularly express a genuine excite-ment at the prospect of being in-vited on to the Donington bill.
Guns N' Roses, with a recentnumber one album in the US andcurrently touring there with Aeros-mith, are taking a day off the tourto play this year's Donington, flyingin by Concorde in the morning andout again the same afternoon."That gives you some idea of thesignificance of the event to theartists," says Parsons "and it's alsoa major event for the record com-panies."
"Take this year," he continues."Iron Maiden's second single fromtheir new album comes out to tie inwith Donington, Kiss have got anew single out, David- Lae Roth,Guns N' Roses and Megadethhave got singles out.""
Apart from one record companyexecutive, who declined to- com-ment on the importance of aband's appearance at-Dontn
IRON MAIDEN: headliners for the headbangers
complaining instead that having aband on the bill was a "pain in thearse", what with the "aggro fromthe management" and the bill forthe beer tent, most people wouldseem to confirm the importance ofappearing. Which is understand-able considering the career boostin terms of kudos - particularly forthe "lower order batsmen", and apost-Donington surge in recordsales that usually follows a band'sappearance there.
Last year, in the week beforeDonington, Kerrang!'s album charthad Bon Jovi's 7800 Fahrenheit(not their current album at the time)sliding, Anthrax's Among The Liv-ing holding in the mid -30s, andMetallica's Master Of Puppetshovering at 41.

would have thought that the re-cord companies would be invitingsomething like 1,000 people -dealers, media, etc. I think therewill be something like 400 pressand at least 50 photographersthere. That gives you an idea of thescale of this event and how impor-tant it is to the business.
"And as long as the bands wantto play and the kids want to gothen there's every reason to thinkthat Donington has a future."
After nine years, Donington'sMonsters Of Rock has become ahighly prestigious event and aninstitution -, the national event fora particular brand of rock musicthat has never really gone out ofnor been affected by musicalfashion, and which has a massiveand fanatical following.

Good racking in the rockingThe chartsdon't tell thewhole storybehind thefiguresthere's anever boomingmarket forHM. KirkBlows reports
TAKE A look at the UK top100 album charts at anygiven time and you'd beforgiven for assuming the
bottom had fallen out of the mar-ket for metal orientated product.
In reality, it's a very differentpicture and the patterns of salesare slowly changing. Though thegeneral theory that hard rockalbums enter the chart very high(immediately selling to the faithful)and then descend down the chartin equally fast fashion still holdstrue to an extent, the point shouldnot be missed that some albumsare indeed surprising people withtheir longevity, usually through aconstant release of singles (Def
Leppard, Heart, for example), andothers, not appearing on the chartbut still ticking over fairly nicely.
A study of hard rock productrecently released illustrates that thescene is not quite as stagnant assome would suggest. Major albumshave appeared in abundance, not-ably the first solo album from Jim-my Page, Outrider (Geffen). Theinterest in Led Zep seems to growall the time and this album, initiallyplanned as a double, has receivedmuch critical acclaim. Van Halenhave just released the excellentOU812, the second with SammyHagar, and WEA is currently hop-ing the When It's Love single will liftthe album over here (it reachednumber one in the US).
Ancient dinosaurs Deep Purplehave actually made it to a thirdalbum from the regrouped line-up,the live Nobody's Perfect (Poly-dor), and while we're on the sub-ject of relics, there's also Ain't Com-plaining (Phonogram) from StatusQuo, a disappointing album thatwas reflected by its poor chartdisplay.
On a more positive note, TheGeorgia Satellites confirmed theirpotential with a second full LP,
Open All Night (Elektra) full ofbeer soaked boogie. Cinderellatoo, have just released their secondalbum, Long Cold Winter (Vertigo)
another excellent collection ofquality hard rock songs in the finesttradition. This was a top 30 entry,and seems sure to sell well for thenext few months.
In general the hard rock scene iswitnessing an expansion ofbreadth, with its two extreme endspulling fast in opposite directions.The advent and development ofthrash, and speed metal has madewhat used to be called heavy met-al seem mild by comparison.Slayer personify everything that isthrash, and the legions of followersresponded by putting their recentSouth Of Heaven opus (Def Jam/London) straight in at number 25.
At the opposite end of the spec-trum we have the morecommercial -orientated acts relyingon the strength of hit singles tosecure status. The likes of Heart,Whitesnake and Def Leppard arestill selling albums in volume be-cause of the constant release ofsingles. Leppard, for example,have just released Love Bites, thefifth single from Hysteria andhence we find the abum still shiftingand remaining in chart territory.Heart have actually gone back tore-releasing songs from 1985'sHeart album and both this andtheir last Bad Animals album arestill moving. This recent trend ofsingles has pulled rock into a more
JIMMY PAGE: critical acclaim, plus the ever-present Led Zep credo
commercial direction, and com-bined with the previously men-tioned trend, the result is abroadening of the mainstreamrock/heavy metal market. The dan-ger is that the reliance on hit singleswill not transpire in the wateringdown and contrivance of hard
rock albums in future times.Back to the product itself now,
with Queensryche having recentlyreleased the Operation: Mind -crime LP, a concept album of anhour long. Produced by Peter Col-lins, the music speaks for itself, evenif you can't understand the story -

line. Jethro Tull are never far froma concept, having just issued the20th Anniversary box set (Chrysa-lis), an assortment of rarities, albumtracks and old favourites, sprawledacross five records. Epic has beena little more active on the rockscene of late, with Cheap Trick'sLap Of Luxury, a weak album butspawning a number one hit in theStates, Living Colour's Vivid, a clas-sic hybrid of rap, funk, and metal,and the Killer Dwarf's Big Deal,their debut for the label.
Other main releases through themajor companies include GreatWhite's Recovery: Live!, originallyonly available in the US but nowreleased throughout the UK andEurope by Capitol with a newsecond side featuring tracks re-corded live at the Marquee inJanuary of this year. Uriah Heepcommemorate their recent per-formances in the USSR with theirLive In Moscow album (Legacy),while other new live albums in-clude Victory's That's Live (Metal
Masters) and Armored Saint'sSaints Will Conquer on MetalBlade.
Ace Frehley has followed up theLive + 1 mini -album with Frehley'sComet's Second Sighting(Megaforce/Atlantic) a disappoint-ing third release from the ex -Kissguitarist. Also a let down is therecent Poison outing, Open UpAnd Say ... Aah! (Capitol), provingthat all the hype just wasn't worth it.Atlantic Records is also making themost of guitarist Adrian Vanden -berg's .success with Whitesnake byissuing Best Of Vandenberg, a tripthrough the Dutchman's three pre-vious group recordings.
On the female front, there's thetwo ex -Runaways in the shape ofLita Ford and her Lita album, andthen there's her ex -cohort in crime,Joan Jett, with Up Your Alley (Poly-dor), another run through of teen -theme anthems. Pat Benatar is alsohigh in profile at the moment, AllFired Up (Chrysalis) the single fromthe Wide Awake In Dreamland LP.
Moving away from the majorsand into the indie scene, sees usventure into distinctly more metallicterritories. Roadrunner Records,who generally tends to stick toomuch product out as a rule, con-tinues to promote the guitar heropersona, with three instrumentalalbums from Jason Becker, MartyFreidman (both Cacophony) andGreg Howe. A bit pointless releas-ing them all at the same timethough.
Other recent releases includeKing Diamond with Them, and SanFrancisco's hardcore specialist DRI,with Four Of A Kind. Samson final-
ly get some product out with AndThere It Is..., courtesy of Razor/Metal Masters, who has also en-tered the cut-price CD market withthe acquisition of Uli Jon Roth'sEarthquake, Fire Wind and BeyondThe Astral Skies abums, all nowavailable as one CD package. Andsticking with CD, Castle Com-munications is leading the wayhere, with several mid -priced dou-ble packages from the likes ofMotorhead, UFO and Magnum,retailing at £9.99.
The hub of the metal year isgenerally the Castle DoningtonMonsters Of Rock festival, and thisyear is no exception, with IronMaiden, Kiss, Dave Lee Roth,Megadeth and Guns N' Roses allputting out singles around theevent. Helloween have got theirtiming even better, with the immi-nent release of the new Keeper OfThe Seven Keys Part II album, onNoise Records. Expect the Maidensingle, The Evil That Men Do, to doparticularly well, especially withthe flipside featuring a newrecording of their old Prowlerclassic!
If Donnington fails to quenchanyone's thirst for the best in hardrock, the anticipation of new re-leases within the coming monthsshould do the job, with albums duefrom Metallica, Europe, OzzyOsbourne (Epic), Blue Oyster Cult,Britny Fox, Riot (CBS), Bad Com-pany, Kix, and L.A. rockers Jane'sAddiction (WEA), all in September,while October promises Bon Jovi,Dan Reed Network, and Rush(Phonogram), and the fourth albumfrom Anthrax (Island).

HEAVY METAL
Making the most of metalBritish heavymetal - for solong the poorrelation to itspretty boyAmericancounterpart -is back to thefore. Arebands likeChrome Mollybringing anew honestyto this muchmaligned rockform? JeffClark -Meadsinvestigates
THE ANNUAL appearanceof the Donington festivalraises the perennial ques-tion: who is flying the flag
of British heavy metal?That enquiry applies as much to
record companies as it does tobands and it encompasses not justwho's got the talent but also who'sgot the attitude.
Two bands who have more ofan insight into the answers thanmost are Chrome Molly and LittleAngels. Both outfits are solidly,proudly British, both are acutelyaware of the advantages andotherwise that entails and bothhave at least a couple of toes onthe ladder to international success.
Each band has taken a differentroute to its current standing - theMollys graduated from a small,specialist indie to IRS while theAngels effectively signed straight toPolydor - but, again, both are in avery British syndrome.
Says Chrome Molly bass playerNic Wastell: "Twelve months ago,the idea of being a British rockband just wasn't fashionable. It's
only in the last four months that UKrock bands have started to be seenas viable again. The Americanscreated the market and they de-cided what they wanted to see.They want their acts to be good - CHROME MOLLY: solidly and proudly British TO PAGE 38 *-

_HEAVY MET
LITTLE ANGELS: 'sick of seeing bands with make-up'
looking. I mean, what's that got todo with anything?"
Band manager Paul Loasbyfeels that when he was proffering
the Molly's demos, he would havereceived a considerably differentreaction from the labels had theband been American. "If you've
got an American band, you areinstantly perceived as having themusic, the image, everything all inone go. It's that whole perceptionof the American persona," he com-ments.
Little Angels singer Toby Jepsonadds: 'When we were beginning,English bands just couldn't comethrough because they were tooinvolved in trying to be American.We came to London two yearsago with the intention of just play-ing anything we could get- clubs,pubs, anything - and the placewas full of English people trying tobe Americans. We've never tried todo that. We've just gone out anddone what we wanted to do."
There is a view that the Mollysand the Angels - with their rootsin Leicestershire and Scarboroughrespectively - have brought anhonesty, a piquancy and a fresh-ness to British metal. Asked abouttheir views on the contemporaryscene, both bands speak enthusias-tically about their desire to playmusic they believe in rather thanpander to any image of them-selves.
Says Jepson: "I'm sick to deathof seeing bands going out in make-up," and Wastell concurs: "Therewas a time when the only competi-tion among bands was to see whocould have their hair piled up thehighest. We've never wanted anypart of that." But even armed witha contagious zeal for their ownmusic, the two bands know thehard work facing them if they areto become as comprehensivelysuccessful as they would wish.
The Mollys are the more adv-
anced of the two. A variety ofproduct from them is available -some is astonishingly eloquent andincisive and some, hamstrung byrestricted budgets and erroneousdirection, is best ignored - butLoasby is well aware that just put-ting out good records is noguarantee of making the big time."It's still hard for this band," hesays. "They've had consistentlyrave reviews and it's a British pro-duct but we haven't yet got thatmessage over to the British."
Wastell continues: "Musiciansare just like anybody else at work.We keep trying to please the boss;it's just that the boss is the publicand you can never please themtotally because they change theirmind every day."
Little Angels, meanwhile, haveyet to realise a full-blown album.An exquisite flavour of what is tocome, though, was put out byPowerstation as a mini -LP calledToo Posh To Mosh. Jepson notesphilosophically: 'We want to do acracking first album because wewant to show we're worthy of allthese things that have been saidabout us."
The pressure to do well, then, isapparent even before the first ma-jor product is recorded. Taking thatinto account, I would still putmoney on both these bands ac-quiring and retaining committedfollowings. I would offer threereasons for that:1) None of them does drugs;2) They're all still proud to be seenin their home towns;3) They prefer public acclaim tocritical adulation.
'We keeptrying 'toplease theboss: it's justthat the bossis the publicand you cannever pleasethem totally'

REVIEWSMONTEVERDI: II ritorno d'Ulis-se in patria. Janet Baker, Ben-jamin Luzon, conducted byRaymond Leppard. Runningtime: 150 minutes. ScreenLegends SL 2005. VERDI: La Tra-viata. Marie McLaughlin, WalterMacNeil, conducted by BernardHaitink. Running time: 136 mi-nutes. SL 2006. English subtitles.Dealer price £8.47.Comment: Both these operas,filmed at Glyndebourne, weredirected by Peter Hall althoughsome 14 years separated them.The Monteverdi dates from 1973,and was regarded as one of theoutstanding operatic events of itstime, both vocally and in produc-tion. Janet Baker particularly is
mesmerising as the saddened andanxious Penelope, and the set is
theatrically stunning. Although thesheer opulence of La Traviata withits celebrated use of mirrors is eye-catching, neither McLaughlin norWalter MacNeil have real charis-ma, and the result is a little flat.Sales Forecast: The popularity ofLa Traviata should ensure a regu-lar sale while Monteverdi's II ritor-no, being less well-known, maymove a little slower, but will benefitfrom dealer encouragement.

JU-JU: Featuring King SunnyAde. HEN 2 081. Running Time:51 minutes. Dealer price £8.34.Comment: Despite King SunnyAde's popularity and the success ofhis recent tour over here, the jujurhythm has not yet caught onamong the wider British audience.This video is a documentary aboutthe development of juju music. Itwas recorded during a marathonperformance in Lagos by musiciansincluding the other juju masterChief Commander EbenezerObey. The only disappointment isthat most of the music is cut out tomake way for interviews andnarration.Sales Forecast: The highlight is
the snippets of riveting guitar andvocals by Sunny Ade. The produc-tion quality makes it a worthwhilepurchase for the fans of jujumusic. OD

DIARY VW
DIARYANY MUSIC star's private life - even in the imagination of thewriter - is now clearly fair game. Whatever the truth of the sexand drugs revelations in his new John Lennon biography,Albert Goldman's grasp of the rock'n'roll aspect is decidedlyshaky. In the Daily Mail extracts from the book Goldmanclaims that the first 100 Beatles compositions dealt "exclusivelywith the theme of puppy love" ... Rob Jones is holding fire onprogramming Radio Radio's new 7pm to lOpm slot until RadioOne announces its autumn schedules which, it is believed, willconfirm a move to 7.30pm for the John Peel/Andy Kershawshows ... Jones also expects to make public this week thenames of four more ILR stations prepared to tango in the night... We obviously spoke too soon a couple of weeks ago whenremarking on the influx of staff at Warner -Chappell. Theexodus continues as recorded music library manager NickFarries and three of his staff clear their desks on Friday (19),while strong but unconfirmed reports suggest that the library isin the process of being sold to Zomba ... The power ofadvertising in MW Wynd-Up says its business is 150 per centup on this time last year purely on the strength of a dealerholiday competition it has been promoting ... It's not often weget turned down when we suggest a front page picture storybut last week not one but two companies fought shy of the ideaof MW highlighting the number of formats new singles wereavailable in. Is it that they are embarrassed at the extramarketing costs being incurred, or are they worried about theartist manager's "If you did it for them, why can't you do it forus" syndrome? ...I'M ALL in favour of record companies and retailers staying inclose touch but is Rob Dickins taking it too far? The WEAchairman has just bought a flat no more than an Errol Flynn'sleap from Steve Smith's office window at Tower. It's alsohandy for a two minute stroll to the WEA office ... Is PaulRussell a fan of Norman Tebbit? He has certainly been spiedon his bike (puffing a bit, we're told) around St John's Wood onSaturday morning ... Move over John and Paul? At WEA'sreception for Andy Leek, producer George Martin describedhim as "the most talented" artist he had worked with ...Announcements of Steve Walsh's benefit night at Le Palaiswere a little premature, it seems, though a star-studded line-upof artists and DJs will be paying their tribute at London's Empirethis Thursday (18) ... Oliver Smallman and Nick Fleming arecelebrating their first anniversary of plugging in partnershipwith the number one from Yazz And The Plastic Population
. "I can categorically say that Ray Richards has not putmoney into this company," says Westside's Morgan Khan,concerned for some reason that MWs story on the company'scomings and goings last week might have suggested that PRThas some managerial involvement in his company.

COMMENT"Do unto others before they dounto you," appears to have beenthe underlying tactical intentionbehind the not -so -subtle rulechange levered into the chart codeof conduct recently. It is a sadreflection of the mutual suspicionshared by record companies andretailers that this transparent ploywas even attempted and thenprovoked the response that it did.That Woolies supplier MikeSommers is now satisfied with theassurances from the BPI andGallup (see p4) says less about theconfidence between the partiesthan the emptiness of the chartchange threat.
To refresh your memories, thenew clause reads: "If Gallupbelieves that a trading activityadopted by a retailer or group ofretailers has or is likely to have theeffect of restricting consumerchoice in the purchase of records,Gallup will make adjustment to thecharts as it shall in its absolutediscretion deem necessary."
It is now clear from what boththe BPI's John Deacon andGallup's Graham Dossett say(although not in so many words)
that this clause is completelymeaningless and will not affect thecalculation of the chart in any way,shape or form. Overriding anyrecord company considerations,Gallup has an immutable code ofresearch ethics to follow andcannot be deflected from that,whoever the customer may be.
Now is the time to try to sweepall the suspicions away andconcentrate on areas of mutualinterest and profitability, ie sellingmore music and planning the futureof the business. And what betterforum in which to start than BARD88 (see pl ). I detect an air ofcynicism on the part of recordcompanies, uneasy with the feelingthat retailers are steering them intosomething not in their control. YetNARM - BARD's counterpart inthe States - is looked upon as anopportunity to work together to sellmore records. Let's have the samepositive attitude here, please.
