Bruce Rawlins succumbs to cancer at age 46Canada's country music industry was sadden-ed to hear of the death of veteran songwriterBruce Rawlins. Mr. Rawlins, a native of theOttawa Valley, lost a valiant fight againstcancer and passed away in Ottawa (Jan. 22)at age 46.
Mr. Rawlins was a longtime songwritingpartner and very close friend of Terry

'86 certifications down
Carisse, both of whom distinguishedthemselves in the industry over the years.
As a team, Mr. Rawlins and Mr. Carissehad written together since 1971, when theyhad a hit with Hello Mom. The vehicle for thepopularity of their songs was Terry Carisse,who performed and recorded the songs. Amajor break for the songwriting team waswhen they became associated with the MerceyBrothers and their MBS label. Mr. Rawlinswas quite excited about the coupling and wasquoted as saying "The Mercey Brothers tookour songs out of the parlour."
Ironically, Mr. Rawlins was initially in-terested in being a performer as well as asongwriter, but decided to concentrate onsongwriting with Mr. Carisse as well as in-volving himself in the advertising field, work-ing with Bamfield & Seguin, an Ottawa firm,with whom he has been associated for manyyears.
Mr. Rawlins was perhaps, a prime exam-ple of a songwriter, who is little known andrecognized, yet his songs are internationallyknown.
In the award category, Mr. Rawlins andMr. Carisse shared many over the years in-cluding 8 PROCAN Awards for most
over last year - CRIAThe Canadian Recording Industry Associa-tion's end of year certification statistics havebeen released and they indicate decreases notonly in total numbers but also for Canconproduct and singles as well.
Last year the total number of certifica-tions was 287 compared to 315 in 1985. Thenumber of Cancon certifications totalled 54
Molson's steps in tosave Mariposa festivalIn describing the recently signed agreementbetween the Mariposa Folk Foundation andMolson Ontario Breweries, Lynn Hurry saysit's a "financial security package or a jointventure of sort." Molson's has announced animmediate contribution of $45,000 towardthe festival's debt problems and that furtherannouncements would be made concerningthe balance.
Hurry, the Foundation President, alsonotes Molson's commitment to the develop-ment of Canadian music and the Mariposa,"specifically" with their sponsorship from1982 through 1986. It was in 1982, a result ofa rain -out at Toronto's Harbourfront, thatthe Mariposa encountered their financialproblems.
The multi -year agreement allows "notonly the continuation of the Festival but a ispackage that will once again propel Mariposainto an event of national and internationalsignificance," says Hurry. The location isnow the Brewery's Molson Park in Barrie,Ontario.
Brent Scrimshaw, Molson's Manager ofEntertainment, affirms the Molson commit-ment to entertainment and suggests the agree-ment is "a natural extension of Molson's pre-sent involvement in that arena, with MolsonCanadian Tour '87, Coors Concerts and theMolson Golden Gala Theatre Programme."
compared to 71 in 1985. Single awards lastyear were 67, while the year previous 84 werehanded out.
Although certifications declined, thesales of compact discs continue their upwardsurge.
Recently released by CRIA, the industrystatistics for this past November show year-to-date net value of sales increasing by 179percent and net shipments increasing by 158percent.
Total net value of sales for all configura-tions, up to and including November, standat $280,560,000 and correspondingly net unitshipments were 54,170,000.
popular country songs, all of which wereaired in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Belgium,South Africa and Norway. In 1981 they wonACME's Single Of The Year for Windship,and that same year won ACME's Top Coun-try Composer Award, and in 1985 theirsingle, Counting The I Love Yous was votedACME's Song Of The Year. They also wonthe 1986 Big Country Award as Composersof The Year. As well they won HonourableMention at the American Song Festival.Compositions written by Mr. Rawlins andMr. Carisse, are currently released on theSavannah label, performed by Mr. Carisse.
Mr. Rawlins will be sorely missed inCanadian country circles, where songmaterial, particularly the Canadian variety,has become increasingly important, due ingreat part to his pioneering spirit and dedica-tion to the industry he loved so much.
Burial took place in Ottawa, Jan. 24.
CARAS announces Junosnew location and dateThe 1987 Juno Award presentations havebeen scheduled for Monday, November 2,and will be held this year at the O'Keefe Cen-tre in Toronto. The show will once again becarried live on the CBC.
The move from the Harbour CastleHilton location was prompted by "thetremendous demand for tickets" to lastyear's Junos, comments CARAS PresidentPeter Steinmetz. As well full staging facilitiesnecessitated the move due to the "increasing-ly sophisticated production techniques" usedon the show in latter years, he adds.
"The larger venue will also allow us tomake tickets available to younger fansthrough Juno contest giveaways," saysSteinmetz, "which should create some addi-tional excitement at the show."
Perry Rosemond and Garry Blye will,for the third consecutive year, produce theshow. A "gala" dinner and dance follows atthe Harbour Castle.

Third record -breaking year in a row!
Ross Reynolds Excutive Vice President & General Manager
MCA Records Canada
MCA's record division in Canada had its third record -breaking year in a row in 1986. Sales for the year almost tripled the sales
of three years ago. At the same time
MCA's video business has con-
tinued to increase substantantially.
However, in a business as volatile
as this one, the con- cern has to be for the
future. Fortunately for MCA, each of
Ross Reynolds our associated labels
is looking forward to a strong '87. We have renewed our agreement with Chrysalis, who
are riding high with Huey Lewis and Billy Idol, and are on the verge of breaking a series
of new acts. Duke Street will be building on follow-up albums for their key artists, in-
cluding Jane Siberry and Chalk Circle. IRS will also benefit from the bases that have
been built for their artists coming with second and third albums. Island will be celebrating
their 25th Anniversary, highlighted by a new U2 album in March.
Lionel Richie will continue to sell very well for Motown, who can look forward to
MCA itself for new albums from Glenn Frey, Andy Taylor, Night Ranger, and Olivia
Newton -John, among others. Along with several John Hughes' Soundtracks. On the
Cancon side, MCA will have new albums by Triumph, Darby Mills, and Boulevard, a new
band from Bruce Allen/Cliff Jones camp. '87 should be another excellent year.
Crystal balling in la and beyond Gerry Young
President, Current Records/Management I see radio taking chances again, when they
realize they're all playing the same thing and have to find
their own corner of the marketplace.
I see multi- national record com-
panies getting their guts back with
regards to signings when they realize radio is willing to ex-
periment again. I see videos
becoming less expen- sive, due to lack of demand by record com-
panies and bands alike. Video producers will lower their profit margin just to get some work, much like the independent radio pro-
mo people have done in the U.S. I see record production flourishing in
Canada, though on a regional as opposed to international level with budgets to match that
approach. This boom will be mostly due to
Gerry Young

the 25 million dollar FACTOR fund set up by the Mulroney government to support the
record industry. I see Current Records becoming a major force in the pop world because of all these
events.
Representatives from MCA, Triumph, The United Way, CPI and the Metro Toronto Police Force were at the formal presentation
of a cheque in the amount of $179,356.65 to the United Way. These funds were raised at the Triumph benefit concert in Toronto.
Growth ... it was that kind of year Keith Brown,
President, Aquarius Records
In 1986 Aquarius sold almost as many Corey Hart albums as we did in 1985. It was
another remapkable year for Corey. In
February, his Boy In The Box certified
diamond in Canada, just as he was con-
cluding an 8 -month stretch of road
work. In July, Corey
had Fields Of Fire ready to release and
he was in Alberta shooting an elaborate video for I Am By
Your Side. His latest album sold 300,000 copies in '86, and we have 5 or 6 good reasons
to believe that '87 sales will more than match his totals to date.
The only other project we released in '86 was a metal band called Sword with their
debut album, Metalized. For Sword, great European reviews led to recent licensing deals
in Germany and the U.K. Several other projects occupied
Aquarius through 1986, but will only see the light of day this year. Tchukon won CBC's
Rock Wars, as well as Star Search in the United States. Aquarius will release
Tchukon's first album this spring. Other pro- jects we began in 1986 include a solo album
by Myles Goodwyn; the soundtrack to Presenting Noel Coward featuring Peter Pr-
ingle, and albums by Montreal singer Sass Jordan and the Quebec City group, Modern
Man. Hopefully, everything that Aquarius
Records did in 1986, including the release of Fields Of Fire, will culminate in 1987. It was
not so much a year of growth, as it was the kind of year that is needed for growth to oc- cur.

COVER STORY -
by Graeme Boyce
From "Homegrown" to Young, Wild & Free "Just tell 'em we came to rock," says Gerry
McGhee, drummer for Toronto -based Brighton Rock, when asked if he had any fur-
ther comments following his interview with RPM. "Actually," he adds, "we're looking
forward to getting out and touring because that's when the band's at its best - and that's what we enjoy the most."
The signing of Brighton Rock to the WEA label in December 1985 (and to Atco
stateside, "I think they're really gung-ho!") marks what would seem to be a return of `hard rock' acts touring - and touring in-
cessently - to sell their records, safe in the knowledge radio won't step on the band-
wagon in support. Yet with the retail success achieved by
these acts, radio is currently being forced to take a second look at what their listeners are
actually listening to. Witness the immense popularity of Bon Jovi and Cinderella. "It's been a long time coming," McGhee remarks. "But I don't think it really went
away. It went off the airwaves, and the radio, but that'll all change. It's the kids out here that are keeping a lot of those (radio) people
in business and this is really the music of their taste. So, it's about time we gave the music
back to the kids. "I just think the kids are sick of what they've had to listen to. It's become very
packaged, very processed. It got away from bands and more into technology and I think
the kids have had their taste of that. "They've chosen what they think is
good," he continues, "and what they don't think is good they've obviously got bored with. There's nothing better than live rock 'n' roll."
Brighton Rock recently completed tour- ing with another Toronto -based hard rock
outfit, Triumph. "It was super! It was an awful lot of fun playing with those guys,"
McGhee comments. "Because we were big Triumph fans from when we were younger
and to get a chance to share the same stage was areal thrill." . The band had released a self -titled mini
album prior to Young, Wild & Free (also the title track), however, it was with the technical
wizardry of Michael Wagener that the band's commercial acceptance was locked up.
Their new single, Can't Wait For The Night, will establish the band firmly at CHR,
while the first, We Came To Rock, already has climbed AOR charts across North
RPM -
February 7, 1987 -
7
America, and was given extensive rotation at both MuchMusic and MTV.
"Wagener matured the songs into a `studio' level," explains McGhee. "I think
we had done all we could with the tunes. Some of them we've been playing for a cou-
ple of years and with his knowledge of technology in the studio and the tricks he can
come up with - he updated the tunes. You know
. . . brought them out of the year we
did them in. He livened the tunes up, which is what we were looking for."
Following their forthcoming 18 -day East Coast U.S. tour, McGhee hopes the band will then be able to mount a full-scale tour of
Canada in the spring and early summer.
Winwood signs with Virgin worldwide
British singer/songwriter Steve Winwood, who is currently enjoying a string of hits from
his most recently released, third solo album, Back In The Highlife Again, has signed a multi -album deal with Virgin Records.
Winwood, who recieved 6 Grammy nominations this year and is a former
member of both the Spencer Davis Group and Traffic, will begin work on a new solo
album this spring but has no additional tour plans at this time.
CDs are the main target of thieves at retail level She looked like any other rock music fan in her mid -teens out to buy a new album from any one of several of her favourite popular
vocalists, checking out the various specials on the Yonge Street strip in Toronto where many
retail companies can be found. She appeared to have browsed for a
short time, or so they thought. As she passed by the cash register heading for the exit, the
store's security system alarm sounded. It wasn't the traditional alarm which most peo-
ple would relate to a bank holdup. A voice simply tells the person to return to the cash
register. "Okay," says one of the sales -staff. "I
believe you have some items that haven't been paid for. Would you like to put the pro- duct down, here, right now?"
The girl was obviously too young to be charged although her parents or relatives
could be notified. Out of her coat came 2 CDs. After the staff had taken care of the
matter according to the rules they're to follow, the girl is able to leave.
The young lady again heads for the exit. As she passes the cash register for the second
time, the store's security system goes off again. The staff all turn around in surprise.
"All right," says a salesman. "Now I don't think you've been completely honest with us. This time can we have everything
back?" Sure enough, out from under her clothing comes yet another CD. The staff
-
members are shocked that the girl would still try to get away with stealing for the second
time. This is just a general example of what recently happened at one retail outlet and is
the kind of theft that could happen at any record store.
CDs have become the big money loser for retail outlets when it comes to the pro-
blem of theft, primarily due to their higher cost compared to both the LP and cassette. And the smaller size of the CD makes them
all the easier to steal. Blister packages and long boxes are being utilized to deter theft but the problem continues.
Retail outlets in many downtown centres have had to resort to expensive security
systems. More stores, including those in malls, are also in line.
As one walks in the doors of the Records On Wheels store, on Yonge Street in Toron- to, it's impossible to miss the monstrous
piece of equipment which a person must pass as one enters. The device resembles a type of
computer system that could alert the military of an impending air attack. The very sight of
this system is threatening. "I think theft peaked in 1986 because of
the CD market," says Rosie lerullo, who manages that downtown Wheels outlet.
"You have to lose 3 LPs to equal I CD. And if a person can steal 1 he'll steal 5."
Wheels had their security system install- ed in October and lerullo points out that it
wasn't until the fall that the store seriously took on CDs.
"Some of our staff have heard people say, 'Oh, they have a machine. Let's go
somewhere else,' " lerullo says. "Without the machine you would catch one person a
month -
if you were lucky. One or two people a week get caught now. Sometimes they steal
1 item. Other times they try to take 3 or 4." lerullo adds theft occurs at morning,
afternoon or night but usually on Friday or Saturday night. Even before the system was installed, staff members were stressing theft
was a real problem and something had to be done. Yet the store manager feels the main
reason why stores had to turn to security systems was due to the entrance of CDs.
Don Ierullo, Records On Wheels' Vice President, believes their Yonge Street store
has the best security system on the market, however because it was only installed recent-
ly, the company does not yet have figures on theft relating '85 and '86.
He says the company estimates though that their losses, due to theft, would be in the
region of 3 percent which would work out to $40,000 to $50,000 per year.
"The main Yonge Street stores are the worst problem," he adds. "These thefts go-
ing on, I tend to think they're organized. They could be selling cassettes and CDs to used stores."
He even suggests the problem isn't just the regular walk-in traffic of customers. "In
some of the stores it's the employees," he relates. "If you pay your employees well you're not going to have that problem. We
pay our people well. But I've heard some real horror stories about some stores, $40,000 alone being lost through one employee."
lerullo feels that if not for the introduc- tion of the CD, the problem of theft would not be as serious. He notes it's easy to walk off with several CDs and it's the volume
stores that have to get the security systems. Other than installing security systems,
which other Wheels stores are in line for, Ierullo says you have to stress to your
employees to "keep their eyes open" at all times. PM

Siberry featured on CBC music special Produced by award -winning Bruce Glawson
and Arnie Zipursky of Cambium Film & Video Productions, CBC has slated the airing
of Jane Siberry -
One More Colour, for February 13. Don Allan, who acted as post -
production director on Leonard Cohen's I Am A Hotel, directs this special.
The show, which producers hope will be a pilot project for a series on international
Jane Siberry rock stars, features scenes from Siberry's re- cent tour, excerpts from her videos and inter- view material.
Cambium, founded in 1982, produces the critically acclaimed Sharon, Lois &
Bram's Elephant Show. "We are committed to excellence in our work," relates Glawson,
"and this excellence is achieved through our pursuit of all aspects of the business behind
filmmaking."
