Ricky Schultz, who recenty became Vice President of Jazz for MCA Records. The Silent Witness album had been released by the group on their Skywalk label,

which was distributed in Canada by A&M. MCA has just reissued this album, originally

with bassist Rene Worst. The session was produced at Vancouver's Little Mountain

Sound. Susanne Nielsen Worst, of Skywalk Management tags the new album as being

"more geared for airplay than Silent Witness, which featured lengthier tracks."

New Seger & Bowie LPs on way from Capitol

Expected within a couple of weeks is the latest album from Bob Seger, titled Like A Rock. American Storm has been taken as the

first single and is currently making impressive gains up the RPM 100 singles chart after

entering at No. 81 (Mar. 8/86). The Seger album, like his previous

release was produced by himself and Punch Andrews. Included are Tightrope, The After-

math, Sometimes, It's You, Somewhere Tonight, Miami, and The Ring.

Capitol is also readying the release of Absolute Beginners, a soundtrack featuring

David Bowie. The title track has been releas- ed as the first single. Bowie composed and co -

produced this track plus 2 others, with Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley.

Also included on the soundtrack are tracks by Sade, Keith Richards, Paul Weller, Elvis Costello, and Nick Lowe. Bowie, Sade

and The Kinks' Ray Davies take starring roles in the movie, which portrays London of 1958

and focusses on that prosperous time. There is no information as to when the film will

open in Canada.

Platinum Blonde cracks several U.S. markets

Having already surpassed the 4 -times platinum mark in Canada (400,000 units

sold), Platinum Blonde's domestic success is finally beginning to filter down into some

U.S. markets. Bruce Barrow, manager of the band,

reports that "The Blonde's new single (Somebody, Somewhere), has picked up a lot

of interest in the U.S., and is charting at Buf- falo and Seattle radio stations."

In order to generate even more interest in the U.S., the band will be playing an

industry -only showcase in Buffalo (Mar. 17), and it's hoped they will achieve the same

results as when they played Toronto's Nathan Philips Square. The rest is "history."

Barrow says the band will be performing only once in Canada this year - at Expo in

Vancouver. Alien Shores has recently been released

in Europe and Japan and Barrow is making plans for the band to play dates in those

countries as well.

The bible of showbusiness!!!I've read Variety for as many years as I'vebeen in the business because it gives me agood overview of showbusiness. I was reallyannoyed, to say the least, at a headline in theFeb. 12th issue that read "Masse InitiatesCanadian Policy To Eliminate U.S.Stranglehold." It looked to me as if theheadline was written to imply an anti-American attitude on the part of our govern-ment against U.S. interest in our cultural in-dustries. I doubt if our Canadian culturalpolices are attempting to "eliminate"anything, and I don't believe there is a"stranglehold" to be eliminated. Manyhave worked for years to create an atmosphereof cooperation while preserving a competitivespirit internationally. Such headlines mightjust spoil that - and lead to stronger policiesthat would eliminate this cooperation. Theheadline was somewhat irresponsible! (EC: Inotice you shied away from the term "cubreporter")

Free . . . eeer trade anyone??Contrary to what has been said about FreeTrade, there's one Canadian company that'smaking money on cross -the -border dealingsalready. Bob Stone, who heads up WorldRecords, way out in the boondocks (Boman-ville, Ont.), has been using his "low profile"to good use. He has cultured a large clientelein the U.S. and is realizing so much volumethat guess what . . . ?? He's cutting Canadianprices by as much as 20 percent - mostly onsingles. What a break that is for the small in-dependent!

Just another little bit!!Every little bit helps! So, if you want yourCancon aired in Europe, send your releases toRichard Astbury, Radio Riviera 104 S.R.L.Sede: Piazza d'Ami 12, 18030 CamporossoMare, Imperia, Italy. By the way, he is a realnice guy, who likes Canadians and tells methere are a great many in the Cote d'Azurarea. Drop him a line. Mention my name.(EC: Jetsetter!!!)

It's hype time . . . .!!!I can't tell youhow pleased I am to get a photo ofa gold record presentation with 17, 22, 34 .. and someday 52 smiling faces . . . . to beatthe current gold record for staff in a photopresenting a gold record.

There were 7 of us . . . and all in thewriting game . .. and all after the same adver-tising buck. Quite frankly having these guystalk about The Do's and Don'ts of Suc-cessfully working With The Print Media, wasquite interesting. As Metallion's LennyStoute kept saying ". . . later . . . honey!!

COVER STORY

Glass Tiger: brass and shuffle br.The Thin Red Line is the cumulative effort ofseveral of Canada's brightest and mostcreative talents. The Newmarket, Ont. bandemployed such notables as Rob Quartly andChampagne Pictures; Deborah Samuel andHeather Brown; as well as producer JimValiance. The latter took them on a recordingventure that spanned the country fromVallance's own studios in Vancouver, to LeStudio in Quebec's Morin Heights, with addi-tional recording at 5 Toronto studios.

Vocalist Frew explains how their associa-tion with Valiance came about: "CapitolRecords had wanted to see a bit moredevelopment in our arrangement capacityand Jim, being the proverbial songwriter andarranger he is, was initially approached towork with us in that capacity. But on hearingthe music, he liked it so much he approachedCapitol and asked if he could produce us."

Drummer Hanson stresses the impor-tance of Valiance as well, "He gave us thatcommercial viability, as well as arranging. Hegave us a lot of confidence in the studio tocome up with the bits and pieces we needed tocomplete songs properly. He was also greatwhen it came to providing all the little 'frills'that songs need - all the empty spaces thatdon't sound right because there's somethingmissing. Jim, somehow always knew what itwas."

To which Frew adds: "But he neverchanged the sound of the band - he justenhanced it."

The first single taken from the LP,Don't Forget Me, was co -written by Valianceand features Bryan Adams on backgroundvocals. "Of all the songs," suggests Frew,"Don't Forget Me was the one that wouldreach a mass audience immediately."

Hanson points out, "The single haseverything, a brilliant melody, lyrics thateverybody can understand - it's got brass, theshuffle, and it's very tempting."

Interestingly enough, when discussingthe video for the single, which was com-pleted by Champagne, Hanson says thetrack "broke away from the norm, as far assongwriting goes. It's more of a pop tune -so, when we did the video we were stuck inbetween being too 'poppy' and, of course,the song makes no statement what -so -ever- so, we couldn't make a real deep substancevideo for the song.

COVER STORY

Glass Tiger: brass and shuffle brings LP home The Thin Red Line is the cumulative effort of

several of Canada's brightest and most creative talents. The Newmarket, Ont. band

employed such notables as Rob Quartly and Champagne Pictures; Deborah Samuel and

Heather Brown; as well as producer Jim Valiance. The latter took them on a recording

venture that spanned the country from Vallance's own studios in Vancouver, to Le

Studio in Quebec's Morin Heights, with addi- tional recording at 5 Toronto studios.

Vocalist Frew explains how their associa- tion with Valiance came about: "Capitol

Records had wanted to see a bit more development in our arrangement capacity

and Jim, being the proverbial songwriter and arranger he is, was initially approached to

work with us in that capacity. But on hearing the music, he liked it so much he approached

Capitol and asked if he could produce us." Drummer Hanson stresses the impor-

tance of Valiance as well, "He gave us that commercial viability, as well as arranging. He

gave us a lot of confidence in the studio to come up with the bits and pieces we needed to

complete songs properly. He was also great when it came to providing all the little 'frills'

that songs need - all the empty spaces that don't sound right because there's something

missing. Jim, somehow always knew what it was."

To which Frew adds: "But he never changed the sound of the band - he just

enhanced it." The first single taken from the LP,

Don't Forget Me, was co -written by Valiance and features Bryan Adams on background

vocals. "Of all the songs," suggests Frew, "Don't Forget Me was the one that would

reach a mass audience immediately." Hanson points out, "The single has

between being too 'poppy' and, of course, the song makes no statement what -so -ever

Honeymoon Suite firm Western dates

Currently in Europe, WEA's Honeymoon Suite are readying their return to Canada to play 7 dates through the West. The tour

begins in Brandon (Mar. 23) followed by Winnipeg (24), Regina (25), Saskatoon (27),

Lethbridge (28), and Calgary (29). No eastern tour plans have been an- nounced at press time, but it's expected they

will begin an American tour, swinging through Ontario and Quebec. Opening their

first single." The album cover was designed by Heather Brown, with Deborah Samuel and

Dale Heslip credited with providing the con- cept. "We just wanted a cover that wasn't too North American," explains Frew. Han- son elaborates, "We wanted to come up with

something really international looking." Hanson maintains "The 'glass' in Glass

Tiger represents the more love -song side of the band, and the 'tiger' the more aggressive

and creative side. What's really interesting," he continues, "is the thin red line which cuts

the two - the glass and the tiger portion of the

band (on the album cover) is also the song that is in between. It has a commercial

melody and at the same time it is a very creative piece."

When replying to the question of whether they considered themselves a pop

band, Hanson says, "no we're definately not in that category. There are some parts of

some songs that sound 'pop' but they were in- tended to sound that way." Also, he em-

phasizes, "We're just a little more creative than a 'pop' band. There is a lot of substance

to our music. Songs like Vanishing Tribe and

RECORDS TO RADIO

RPM -

March 15, 1986 -

7

Ancient Evenings are proof that we're not a `pop' band."

The songwriting responsibilities are handled by the various band members. Han-

son explains, "We combine the creative in- fluences of all 5 members - and if we're not satisfied totally with a song - then we'll throw

it out, which probably accounts for the fact that we only had about 15 or 16 songs going into the studio. We're more interested in

quality of the product than quantity." Fully aware of the task ahead, Frew

points out that the band "has to get very disciplined. It's a matter of being able to

write under pressure and under situations that aren't really normal. Obviously, we'll be

touring and we'll have to do a major part of our writing on the road for the next album, but we're prepared for that." He concludes

with "The pressure will get a little more in- tense, but we're a pressure band - we enjoy it

and we're looking forward to it." A strong indication of Glass Tiger's

potential is that fact that ex -Styx manager, Derek Sutton came out of retirement in Los

Angeles to handle the band's international management affairs.

Late press news has The Thin Red Line being released on the Manhattan label in the U.S. (Apr. 13). Glass Tiger have been slated

to open Honeymoon Suite's western tour, beginning Mar. 23.

Cats Can Fly and so can CBS

by Valarie Lapp Manager, National Press & Publicity

CBS Records, Canada

Phones and cash registers haven't stopped ringing for the last 6 weeks. Radio station

DJ's speculate on whether some feline creatures really do have wings. And four brilliant musicians

from Toronto, wing to the top of CHR

and AOR charts across the country.

It's a phenomenon called Cats Can Fly,

the name of a group and of an incredible

debut album, and it all started with a

single called Flippin' to the A Side. What

better way for CBS to begin 1986, than with its feet off the ground?

Joining the Cats in making Canada (and CBS) proud, is Bruce Cockburn, charting

heavily with World Of Wonders, and its first hard-hitting single, People See Through You.

Bruce's nationwide tour has already begun, to crowded houses and leaping record sales

everywhere. Down south, another tour is in progress, as Loverboy shows the flag on the American circuit. The band hints they would

like to tour Canada in the late spring or early summer.

By this time, it's no secret that the Roll- ing Stones have gathered no moss on their

long and exciting career - and Harlem Shuf- fle, immediately closed across the board at

Valarie Lapp

radio, offers a tantalizing glimpse of their

first LP for CBS, Dirty Work, due for release in late March. Elvis Costello opens his heart to old and new fans alike with Please Don't

Let Me Be Misunderstood, while offering one of his finest albums in recent years, King Of

America. Both LP and single have been well - received at radio. Not only has the Rocky IV soundtrack

been a treasure trove of hit singles, it has also been the inspiration for two new CBS sign- ings: James Brown, godfather of soul,

blasted back to the charts with the funky Liv- ing In America, and plans to continue his

comeback with a solo LP for CBS later in the year. And Robert Tepper's soulful No Easy Way Out, gaining ground at CHR and AOR, will be the title track of a new solo LP, due for release in late March.

Those Aussies are at it again, too! This month they give the land Up Over a Mental

As Anything knockout LP, Fundamental; and a new Eurogliders album Absolutely.

ALSO THIS MONTH Ozzy Osbourne's Ultimate Sin takes an

atomic launch up trade charts both here and in the States...the classiest lady in England,

Sade, celebrates a very successful European tour and a Canadian platinum Promise

LP...European powerhouse Jennifer Rush gains a new Canadian following with her self - titled debut LP...ELO (Calling America), The Bangles (Manic Monday) and Miami

Sound Machine (Conga) conquer CHR the moment they're released...

And this is only the beginning. Watch for new releases this spring from Bonnie

Tyler, Journey and Philip Bailey, as well as the great Aerosmith compilation - Classic

dates will be Capitol's Glass Tiger. Live.

Brockville's CFJR celebrates 60th birthdayOn April 1, 1986, CFJR of Brockville, Ont.,will celebrate 60 years of broadcasting.Although the call letters were changed to CF-JR in 1950, the station is actually one of theoldest continuously operated broadcastingstations in Canada.

Using the call letters CFLC, which stoodfor Canada's Finest Little Community, thestation first commenced operating inPrescott, Ont. on April I, 1926. At that time,radio had only been invented 6 years prior.The new station began transmitting on 50watts of power.

In February of 1945 CFBR moved intothe Revere Hotel and in October the follow-ing year the power was increased to 250watts. The station was bought by Jack Mur-ray in December of that year and the call let-ters were changed to CJFM.

The station celebated its 21st anniversary

Southside release for Australia's Wickety Wak

Billed as "Australia's zaniest performers", Wickety Wak, a 5 -piece band that ventures

into rock, pop, and any other music form that might hit them during their perfor-

mances, are now on release in Canada. The release was negotiated through a deal with

Paul Ewart of Hot Wax, their Australian company and Paul Clinch of the Toronto -

based Southside Records.

Initial release in Canada is Moonlight Marvels which has been taken from their New

Horizons album, to be released this summer. The band's Second Helpings album, became a hit in Australia last year.

Clinch expects the band to tour North America this year, but confides that negotia-

tions are "still underway" for a release in the U.S., after which a tour would be likely.

Celebrating their tenth year in the business, Wickety Wak comprises Greg Doolan (lead guitar and vocals), Tony Jeffrey

(lead vocals and sax), Pani Gilbert (bass and vocals), Robbie Rosenlund (keyboards and vocals), and Peter Mackay (drums, school

fife and vocals). The band is described as "The biggest permanent production of any group in Australia. They tour with $65,000 worth of costumes, 5 permanent road crew,

$100,000 worth of sound and lighting equip- ment, and they have their own management,

offices and rehearsal complex.
