Changes in German radioHaving just returned from an "eye opening"trip to West Germany, Art Graham, CBSManager of PopProduct, informsthat while vinyl pro-duct sales remaindominant, music in-dustry executives incontinental Europe'slargest market areextremely apprehen-sive about radio sta-tion's "commer-cializing" theirsound and rotatingrecords every several hours; not to mention,of course, their very serious problem of hometaping.

"They're just now getting commercialradio," Graham explains, "which they feel isa great threat to their record business

Elektra gearing to breaknewcomer ChapmanIn the same manner with which the industry'sattention was pointed in the direction of TheGeorgia Satellites, Elektra Product ManagerKim Cooke suggests that among the manynew releases expected to create a critical stirthis spring is the debut album from newcomerTracy Chapman, and hopefully this reactionwill be favourable, subsequently generatingexcitement at college and "left -leaning AORstations.

"But we see it coming from a criticalfoundation," Cooke says, "and I think ourrole in it is to handle it with a little bit ofclass, and not go screaming that this is thegreatest thing since sliced bread, yet at thesame time getting across the fact that it issomething special."

In view of the fact the label views therecord as product that will be able to speakfor itself, advance cassettes were recently ser-viced, to response described as "overwhelm-ing" across the board.

"It's her first record, she's hardly everplayed. She's actually only got a handful ofperformances under her belt," Cooke con-cludes. "She's completely anti -fashion, shehas absolutely nothing to do with theWhitney Houston syndrome . . . she's just ayoung woman who writes incredible songs,it's as simple as that.'

detrimental to disc sales?because, being that most radio over there isregional and block programmed, when itdoes go commercial and songs start to getrotated every four hours, they feel it'll im-mediately erode their singles business.

"Right now," he continues, "a kid canhear a song on the radio, if he listens a lot,maybe once a night, which will give them ataste to want to purchase the single. Butthey're inclined to buy because they're nothearing it in the repetition that we do here.They're afraid that when commercial radiohits, people will get enough of a dose on theair and they won't purchase the single."

The home taping problem is actually sobad in Europe, with enforcement ofcopyright laws virtually impossible, album

Glass Tiger album jacketPutting the music aside for a moment, thenew Glass Tiger album jacket, whether look-ed at sideways, upside down, at an angle,from a distance or straight on, features aclassic example of optical illusion, designedspecifically by artist Heather Brown; as wellas Inuit writing, holding hands and a tieer'sskelton, according to Capitol domestic pro-duct manager Ron Scott.

"Is the Glass Tiger logo carved into therock or out of the rock?" he asks. "The otherthings are hidden, they're not obvious."

Anyway, the album, scheduled forrelease (Apr. 13) around the world, and titledDiamond Sun, was produced by JimValiance, in Vancouver, Toronto and MorinHeights, with additional recording of TheChieftains completed in Dublin, Ireland. Thefirst single, I'm Still Searching, is alreadymoving quickly up the charts, after its releaselast week (RPM - single pick this week).

"As far as the rest of the material on therecord- eoes," Scott explains, "it takes onmore of a tougher guitar -based edge but, atthe same time, the band has maintained acommercial appeal. The only change is that

Copyright creators angryCreators for Copyright, representing singers,songwriters, visual artists and authors, areangered over the stalling in the Senate of BillC-60 which deals with revisions to the out-dated Copyright Act. Paul Berry of theCanadian Musical Reproduction RightsAgency (CMRAA) called a hastily organizedpress conference (Mar. 22) in Toronto in alast ditch attempt to overcome the stallingtactics by the Senate with regard to this veryimportant issue.

"There's a good chance that sections ofthe revisions or all of it will be sent back tothe House of Commons," explains NancyGyokeres, Executive Director of PROCAN'sMusic Scene. Should this happen, it couldsound the death knell for a new CopyrightAct, and the lengthy process would have to bemounted once again.

Berry pointed out that Bill C-60 "would'introduce a system whereby all Canadiancreators would be able to negotiate licenceswith users, through their copyright collec-tives," continuing with "It would alsoestablish a Copyright Board to oversee tariffrates, to rule on disputes when two,parties

sales outnumber cassette sales by a very largemargin. However, currently enjoying thepeculiarities of their system are a number ofCanadian acts who have obtained com-mitments from their respective record com-panies, something Graham was able to do forAlta Moda, Platinum Blonde and for the newBilly Newton -Davis album.

In a country of 60 million people, suc-cessful singles can surpass the 300,000 unitssold mark, and one Canadian act still sellingrecords and living quite comfortably is Saga,currently touring with Loverboy as the open-ing act. Nevertheless, there are only two waysto break records in that territory: either"with high chart numbers in U.S. trades orby simply working the market," Grahamconcludes, which is what the various CBSacts are doing these days.

"They've really honed in on sound, it'smore distinctly their own," he continues. "Idon't think you'll be able to make com-parisons to anybody with this record. They'renot taking the stance of 'going after' justmales, when I'm saying it's tougher, itdoesn't have the upbeat, poppy sounds thatThin Red Line had. I mean this is a rockband. It's not just an OMD pop band. That'sthe one thing that has to be stressed, and peo-ple will understand that from I'm Still Sear-ching."

With a Canadian tour expected this sum-mer, Glass Tiger have embarked on a promo-tion swing through the U.S. and Europe."This is not only a priority for us," Scottconcludes, "but for the Americans and theEuropeans as well, and that is based on theband having impact."

Berry went on to point out that Bill C-60would "abolish a system under which Cana-dian composers are paid a royalty of 2 centsper song when a record company records it,"continuing with, "This rate is fixed in the ex-isting Copyright Act. Because that Act hasnever been updated, composers are paid thesame in 1988 as they were in 1924."

Five Electrifying Band members ... !It was a real pleasure to relive the era of theFive Man Electrical Band as they performedto a jampacked house at the giant Lulu'sRoadhouse in Kitchener. The house was wall-to-wall fans, who came from all over Ontarioto recoenize the success and the hits of thisereat group. Their popularity was very evi-dent when the crowd sang along with theirhits, in particular, Signs, which brought themback for an encore. The group re-formedrecently and will be touring with all theoriginal members.

What about those 4 -letter -words ??Ed Preston, always good for a joke or two,asks the question, "Whatever happened toCBS, RCA, WEA, EMI, MCA and 4 -letter -words?" He points out that "Last week's ac-tion, as reported in RPM, highlighted a newCanadian language (I think), i.e. The guys atEMG drove up to BMG in their MG's only tofind that the troops at the new GBM labelwere custom pressing CDs for MBS and driv-ing BMW's, which run on a non -jarring mixof BEER from LBC's Super Corp.

Greater use of Hologramsin fight against piratingA worldwide study, conducted by the U.S.International Trade Commission has foundthat piracy of copyrights, patents andtrademarks cost Canadian corporations up-wards of $367 million in revenue in 1986. Thestudy focused specifically on the illegalpirating of music and movies as well as com-puter products and television tapes.

Holograms, three dimensional imagescreated by sophisticated techniques usinglasers and precise optical equipment, havereportedly been "most successful as a provendeterrent to counterfeiting and fraud."Holograms are now being used by Disney andWarner Home Video on video tapes in whathas been termed as a "successful project" tothwart piracy.

American Bank Note Holographics(ABNH) of Elmsford, New York is con-sidered the "pre-eminent producer" of em-bossed holography worldwide. In Canada,the Markham, Ont.-based HolographicMarketing Corporation is the representativefor the marketing and sale of ABNHholography.

The most common application of ABNHholograms as a security device are the dovesimprinted on Visa cards and the globe symbolon Mastercards.

Julian Aston, president of HolographicMarketing, points out that "Holography, asa security solution, is on the verge of ex-plosive growth," continuing with, "Govern-ment and industries worldwide, are recogniz-ing that holograms can effectively save themmillions of dollars in their battle againstcounterfeiters," concluding with, "No mat-ter what the product or industry, as long asthere is a need to maintain the edge over thecounterfeiter and the criminal, holographywill be there making a distinctive securitymark."

Holographic Marketing's LorneMousley, reports that he has received en-quiries from several major labels, with regardto holograms, and that he expects to an-nounce shortly, a hologram project under-taken by a major. The hologram could be us-ed as the seal on an LP jacket, or part of anidentification for the label's logo.

Adams donates song forVictoria Cross videoBryan Adams has donated his song, Remem-brance Day, to the Department of Defencefor use as the soundtrack for a video montagecelebrating Canada's Victoria Cross.

The video will be an important part of annon-profit exhibition which will travel acrossCanada this year, drawing attention to thememory of the Canadians who fought fortheir country in two world wars.

The exhibition will be mounted at theWinchester Centennial in Winchester, Ont.from July 30 through Aug. 7, followed by Ot-tawa's Veteran's Day (Aug. 20), theManitoba Air Show at Portage La Prairie(Sept. 17 & 18), and the 70th Anniversary ofthe Armistice in Vancouver (Nov. 11).

Remembrance Day is included inAdams' LP, Into The Fire.

Doors open for Williamsafter Duke Street stintKaren Williams knows, and only too well, thefrustrations and pressures of garneringpublicity across the globe for a small indepen-dent label in Canada. However, since leavingher post at Duke Street Records last month,her own company's phone hasn't stoppedringing, she reports, happily from her homeoffice in Toronto.

While attempting to branch out intofields such as theatre, film and music, it hasbeen the latter which has virtually filled herplate; retaining, for instance, the associationwith Duke Street recording artists, Manteca,who are about to embark on a national tourlater this month. Thus, not finding muchtime to compete for the more lucrative con-tracts elsewhere.

"Money isn't really the bottom line,"says Williams. "It's the degree of satisfactionI get from the various projects. But one of mygoals eventually, is to do everything from set-ting up the tours to arranging sponsorshipprograms. Right now though, I don't want togo too fast. I want to be able to deliver what Ipromise.

"It's a service that goes beyond publicity. . . from getting photographers together, ordoing it myself, it's actually a mixture ofpublicity, promotion and marketing. Each in-dividual project takes on its own set of rulesand develops its own personality. So, eachpackage is really custom made. I've not takenon sponsorship, but that's the next phase,"she concludes.

Body Electric singlebuilding in QuebecThe Vancouver -based Parallel label reportsan obvious "momentum" building in theprovince of Quebec for Body Electric's latestsingle, Out Of The Blue.

The single, released 22 weeks ago, hasbeen simmering in English Canada, andbuilding nicely at retail. Product is also mov-ing at retail in Quebec, and it's the hope ofParallel One, to expand in this area throughSaturn Distribution.

COVER STORY - by Graeme Boyce

Black's jaundiced view of life beginning to appeal

Wonderful Life, which is on the LP, is just aremixed version of the independent single.So, it is possible, but it's not the general rule,this is the exception to the rule."

rKe ALRising slowly up through the ranks, fromtotal obscurity on the Ugly Man label to aninternational recording deal with A&M,Black (actually Cohn Vearncombe) can at-tribute much of his success along the way tothe fact that many in the business simply fear"missing out" and for this reason his single,Wonderful Life, which cost as much as agood microwave oven to produce, has actual-ly sold over a million copies worldwide.

Now, the Liverpudlian is able to put aband on the road and tour through Europeand Japan; if his record is as successful inCanada, he'll do the same here in the for-thcoming months, perhaps on his way backto England. But Vearncombe realises hislabel has a veritable dogfight on their handswith the U.S. washing their hands clean ofthe artist's debut album last month.

Though he is probably least aware thatA&M managed to break quite a few of theirbiggest acts in North America, by sowing theseeds in Canada first: Styx, Supertramp andThe Police, the obvious examples; Vearn-combe is grateful of their efforts, gratefulthat more people are listening to his music to-day, than yesterday.

"So the next thing you know," he says,relating the earlier days, "the phone's red hotand the same people who had rejected thedemo a year before were raving about it. Itjust goes to show people don't listen in thefirst place, that everybody's just looking overeach other's shoulder, through fear of miss-ing out on something."

Apparently, and even though WonderfulLife has already shot through all Europeancharts, the Americans aren't displaying thisfear at all, hence for each level of Canadiangold the Black album attains, the U.S. labelsubsequently stands to lose a half millionunits sold. This possibility doesn't bother theamiable, yet opinionated singer; he writes thesongs for himself anyway, and not foranyone else.

"Jaundiced, yes," he says of his lyrics

but not cynical. "I don't really approve ofcynicism. I try to be an optimist, but itdoesn't always work and that comes out inthe lyrics. I don't think that record com-panies listen to the lyrics anyway. They listento the music, a catchy tune, but not the lyrics.I think it's the same with radio . . . I don'tthink anyone listens to lyrics the first time. Ithink there has to be something else to drawyou in," he continues. "A good lyric is nevergoing to rescue a dreadful song."

Naturally, he's not about to admit hewould write anything, he has to be able tosleep at night too. "It's arrogant to expectthat your music matters to anybody exceptyou," he explains. "It matters a lot to me,but I don't see how I could possibly expect itto matter to anyone else. But if it does, that'sgreat because that's what you aim for, neverexpect."

However, hit singles and top sellers domatter, and to a lot of people who depend ontheir success; this though is what has turnedthe industry inward and paranoid aboutitself, almost neurotic, he adds. "But thesethings shift," he states, while noting the cur-rent sampling backlash. "Every now andagain we hit a good patch, where there'ssomething good going on somewhere, whichis worth looking at."

"It was one of the songs that gotMichael signed to the label in the first place.One of the reasons we held back is we weren'tentirely happy with the way it turned out, butmostly because Rain (first single) was writtenin the studio and came out real well and we

Terry Cousineau making chart inroads Terry Cousineau's latest RCA single, Danc-

ing In The Devil's Dancehall, a Cousineau original which is the title track of his LP, is

showing a steady pattern of chart and playlistings that should bring this talented

Feener's mom and dad's fiftieth wedding an- niversary. The flip, The Miners Song, was

written by Dennis Conn, a native of Sydney, Nova Scotia. Feener is featured on lead

vocals and rhythm guitar, and is given an assist by Conn on vocals and electric euitar, Mike Holder on vocals, electric and pedal steel guitars, Tony Laviola on vocals and

bass, and drummer Bob McKinnon.

The second new program is the Profes-sional Publishers and Songwriters DemoAward Program, "developed to assist profes-sional composers and publishers with the pro-duction of a high quality demo tape of theirsongs, for the purpose of having artists (otherthan the applicant/composer) record thematerial." It is stressed however, that this isnot an artist/performer demo program.

These awards are in the form of grantscovering up to 50 percent of the productioncosts to a maximum of $750.00 per award.

There are certain criteria to be met forthe new programs. This information isavailable through FACTOR offices in Van-couver and Toronto.

Changes to existing Sound Recordingprograms involve the Multi -Project Fundingwhere the maximum funding available hasbeen lowered to $50,000.

With regard to FACTOR loans, themaximum funding available per project hasbeen lowered as follows: 2 tracks ($5,000),EP ($10,000), LP ($20,000) - not to exceed 50percent of the total eligible budget.

The budget for the New Talent DemoAward Program has been raised by 50 per-cent. Sponsoring studios will also be increas-ing their commitment and contribution to
