Chalk it up to the lull after the storm of records.released the past severeeks, or a tightening up forthe book, but notice that under Most Added this weeknothing qualified as Top New Airplay. In other wordsno new record debuting on Up 6 Coming had moretotal adds than the three titles listed. Prince shouldremain in the top ten for most or all of what's left of1984. "Let Go Crazy" will be replaced by "PurpleRain" in a month or so, which will make for one ofthe longest chart runs since Michael's "Thriller" days.John Waite easily maintains the number one chartposition while Chicago takes the overall airplay lead,with 244 reports out of a possible 269. Madonna isnot far behind in the number three airplay spot, pull-ing a total of 230 reports. Stevie Wonder goes topfive for John Young and Chris Thomas at Z -93 -Atlanta,O'Kelly and Rolling at B -97 -New Orleans, Mark Elliottin Sioux Falls at KPAT, Leo Davis at Q104 -Gadsden,Tony Waitekus at WCIL/FM-Carbondale and nearly adozen more. Check out the Hit Factor growth forLaura Branigan from 36% to 61%, and Donna Summerfrom 25% to 44%. Programmers love the Elton Johnwhich is already number 4 in the airplay arena, with227 reports, and beginning to chart quickly. Pheno-menal week for Billy Ocean as Top 40 and A/C confirm
this former number one giant for Black Radio. NickBazoo at KMEL-San Francisco charts it at #5, same forArt Tiller at Z106-Philly and Kirk Cliatt at KDON/FM-Salinas. Last week's "Certified" entry, DennisDeYoung, is having no problem doing it all alone withnew additions at Q105 -Tampa, KS103-San Diego, KUBE-Seattle, KDWB-Minneapolis, WZON-Bangor, KHTT-SanJose, plus 40 more on the case. Wham, one of the 2"Certified" records of the week, already charting atQ107, WBCY, KIIS/FM, KQXL/FM, KKEZ,- KOIL/FM,WBGN, etc. Tina Turner doubles in airplay andjudging from comments by PD's and MD's, it's one oftheir personal faves. A "That's Incredible" trivia notewritten up in the L.A.Times this week pays tribute tothree legends...KRLA, and Don and Phil Everly. JimPewter and his staff are celebrating the station's 25thAnniversary, issuing a souvenir survey that lists themusic from September 1959 on one side Sand September1984 on the other. Guess who's on both chartsthe amazing Everly Brothers - holding down number 4in '59 with "('Til) I Kissed You" and #30 in '84 withtheir current comeback single "On The Wings Of ANightingale" .

THE GAVIN REPORT September 14, 1984
In a recent column, L.A. Times Rock CiticRobert Hilburn wrote up his choices for the tenbest rock films. Topping the list was the Bea-tles' Hard Days Night, followed by 2) Don'tLook Back, 3) The Harder They Come, 4)Quadrophenia, 5) The Last Waltz, 6) GimmeShelter, 7) The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, 8)The Tami Show, 9) Woodstock, and 10) a tiebetween Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Rock, andPrince's Purple Rain. While Hilburn's list runsthe gamut from historical documentary tocinematic fantasy, the following articlefocuses on films which played a role in thedevelopment of hit records for Top -40 radio.
If there's any doubt that rock 'n' roll is bigbusiness you need only to visit your neighbor-hood theatre complex for vivid, widescreenevidence. Hit singles are being made for film(or is it the other way around) and are "making"films like never before.
In the 12 short months between 1954 and1955, movies would experience the revolutionthat popular music was undergoing during thesame period. The sweetness and light of DorisDay's "Secret Love" and the 4 Aces "ThreeCoins In The Fountain" were ancient historythe day a film called Blackboard Jungleappeared on the screen. It was the first timerock 'n' roll was used in a major film and thesong, Bill Haley's "Rock Around The Clock,"became immortal. Most adults in 1955believed in an undeniable connectionbetween juvenile delinquency and rockmusic. Blackboard Jungle reinforced thatbelief. But its success proved that the thenuntapped teen movie market would respondto rock on film. "Rock Around The Clock"spawned a movie of the same name, starringAlan Freed as a down on his luck managerwho discovers rock 'n' roll on a trip throughHicksville USA. Dozens more would followwith titles such as "Don't Knock The Rock","Rock, Rock, Rock", "Go Johnny Go" and"The Girl Can't Help It".
But no one made an impact on the screen inthose early years more than the King ... ElvisPresley. Presley's shrewd manager, Col. TomParker, kept Elvis off TV with the exception ofinitial exposure on Steve Allen, The Dorsey

Show, and three appearances on the Ed Sulli-van Show. If you wanted to see ol' El you had topay ... at the box office. From Love Me Tenderwhich had all the young girls crying at the veryend when their hero and idol died, to his lessnoticeable films of the 60's ... they mademoney and during the first 6 or 7 years helpedcreate a lot of hits.
Beatlemania struck much the same waythough technology and the industry hadbecome more sophisticated. The summer of1964 gave us the critically acclaimed HardDays Night followed by Help one year later.Both movies underscored the power of filmand hit music promoting each other.
Then of course there's been the greatestmovie themes like "Mrs. Robinson" from TheGraduate, Henry Mancini's "Love Story" and"Love Theme From Romeo and Juliet", ShirleyBassey's "'Goldfinger", Ferrante & Teicher's"Midnight Cowboy" and Nilsson's "Every-body's Talkin".
In 1977 Robert Stigwood put the package ofall time together. Matching the dancing andstar quality of John Travolta with stunningmusic supplied by The Bee Gees and others,"Saturday Night Fever" soon owned the air-waves and went on to become the biggestselling soundtrack of all time.
According to Al Coury, currently Presidentof Network Records and formerly head ofRobert Stigwood's RSO Records, the successof "Saturday Night Fever" was due, in greatmeasure, to a carefully conceived and exe-cuted plan. Stigwood had the advantage ofowning and controlling the entire packagefrom start to finish. Most record companieshave to deal with a major studio on a project byproject basis. Coury notes that all too often inthe latter case, the film is already shot and isbeing edited before the important music deci-sions are made. Coury says, "Adding themusic after the fact is always bad. The reasonwe had success with "Saturday Night Fever,"with "Grease" and "Fame" is because we castthe music in the movie like we would the maincharacters. "Footloose" was a recent moviethat did and to some degree "Flashdance's aswell. Today, more and more contemporary filmmakers are recognizing that fact and are pro-ceeding accordingly."
How important is the music to a film like"Saturday Night Fever?" Al admits that to hisway of thinking, "The music was an extremelyvital part of the texture, of the feel, of the moodand I thought it was as important as its mostimportant actor, John Travolta." Since then, it's
been a familiar story of superior soundtracksgenerating a long list of top ten and number

one hits. As Irene Cara was picking up herOscar for "Flashdance", the kids were liningup to checkout the '84 "follow-up" Footloose.To gain a record company's perspective on hitmovies and soundtracks like "Footloose", I
spoke with Bob Sherwood, Vice President ofMarketing for Columbia Records. He admits tobeing a little surprised at the gigantic successof "Footloose". Though believing it would bebig, he didn't think it would reach this level.Sherwood emphasizes, "We're talking well inexcess of 5 million albums and still selling, andthat's a pretty good number at anytime. Andhaving six charting hits is a pretty extraordi-nary acheivement I don't think anybody feltthat strong about it, and the movie was goodbut I don't think it was Olivier doing King Lear."
Stressing the difficulty of getting to theaudience that might like Kenny Loggins butnot Deniece Williams, or visa versa, is a toughtask for compilation albums. Bob says, "tryingto assemble everything and get the marketingstraight so that the consumer hears "Let'sHear It For The Boy" and says "what a greatrecord that is". How do you make that connec-tion to the Footloose soundtrack and thenmake the connection from the soundtrack tothe film itself. It gets sticky ... it's an extraelement that's in there and the odds againstdoing it successfully are dramatically againstyou. For every "Saturday Night Fever," there'sabout 400,000 we all signed and made dealsfor that sell 13 copies and are never heard fromagain".
As one would think, the movie companydoes not necessarily have the same goals asthe record company. But Bob says "If we bothdo it right" (in terms of cross merchandisingand cross advertising, utilizing financialresources the best way possible), "then we'reboth going to be twice as successful as wewould've been without each other".
According to Coury, the elements whichcontribute most to a successful soundtrackare: "Hit songs. The records have to be hits ontheir own even though they are part and parcelto the telling of the story in the movie. Plus, themovie has to be a smash hit on its own as well.
14
When you've got those two things going foryou then you've got that cross-pollination the-ory that will lead to having a $100-150 milliongross movie and an eight, ten, twelve or fifteenmillion selling soundtrack." Coury notes NeilDiamond's "Jazz Singer" soundtrack which,even though it had hits, still suffered becausethe movie wasn't a smash.
During his "Saturday Night Fever" days atRSO, Al Coury remembers "sitting down at thebig international meetings over at ParamountStudios and they would bring in their peoplefrom all over the world, as well as from all overthe country. Hundreds of film exhibitors wouldbe present and, representing the music end, Iwould ask 'When do you want your first hit?'Their answer was 'We want the first hit to peakthe week that the movie opens in eighthundred theatres.' So, based on the quality ofthe music and the act, how long could it con-ceivably take me to make that hit number one,if in fact it could get that high? In the case of"Saturday Night Fever" I determined the firstBee Gees record would take six to eightweeks. The movie opened on X date and usingthe calendar going backwards I would figureout when to put out the first release. It all has tobe a very logical plan that has a beginning, amiddle and an end."
Al feels he and Stigwood pioneered thegameplan of establishing the hit single, thenreleasing the album and the film and then fol-lowing with subsequent singles. "We pio-neered those methods and we proved to thepicture producers and major studios that it allworks, and that we can help you sell and giveyou that big initial push. Any movie producerwill tell you that the most important time for amovie is the opening weekend in the theatres... If you can make it to the third weekend andyou're still doing good business then you're offand running with a hit movie." It's easy tounderstand how and why a hit song cangather lots of attention and attract many moviegoers.

The DonnaSummer and Everly Bros. have excellent momentumon their side as do the Gibb, Ocean, Rogers, Eltonand Streisand. This week's A/C CERTIFIED duo areno strangers to the format. Between them they haveover thirty-five years of Adult appeal. Next week'sthree chart debuts should come from CHARTBOUNDalthough The Pointers have been ladies-in-waitingthere for three weeks now. A modern day record ofthirteen charted records feature women in starringroles. Not to mention another six selections frombelow the numbers. Hmmm?

THE GAVIN REPORT September 14, 1984
THE NEXT TO LAST MOVIEby Art Roberts
Scene 1. "Ya think you're really somethin', dontcha? You, andyour chips-ya sit in a shack in Silicon Valley, and thinkyou're somethin' special. Well ya ain't. Know what you are?I'll tell ya what you are. You're nuttin'. Nuttin'! Take awayyour computers, take away your software, and whataya got?Nuttin'."
I always fantasized re -filming "On the Waterfront" somewherein Silicon Valley, California. Marlon Brando, leading a bandof displaced computer and software developers, storms themain offices of the Friendly User Computer Company, Inc.,in an attempt to stop the relocation of the CorporateHeadquarters to South Korea.
Once inside the building, everyone understood the meaning of"the naked truth". The building is empty. Management notonly insulted their dignity by refusing to discuss or negotiatethe situation, but also poured Kosher Salt on their wounds byremoving every oak veneer desk ... leaving behind only thelight bill and a half -eaten box of Lady Godiva Chocolates.
No, this is not the end of the picture.
Scene 2. As the audience shuffles their way out of the theatre.the camera zooms into the crowd and settles on the real starof the film. A middle-aged disc jockey, whose face reflects thestress of countless rating battles, format changes, andweekends filled with six-pacs of Coors Beer. He climbs intohis vintage Mustang, allowing his body to automaticallyexecute the physical motions of driving, while his mind isbeing haunted by the many ghosts of yesterday. The moviereally got to him.
Oh, how he related to the story line. Bosses makingunreasonable demands. Ass -kissing management. Favoritism.Being bled by the leeches of the industry until there wasnothing left. A Hero one day ... a Bum the next.
As his car approaches the radio station, he notices a lightcoming from an office window. Still deep in thought;delivering a sub -conscious tongue lashing to his superiors fortheir recent firing of his best friend, the morning man, (whowas also the program director's brother), he steers his car intothe single mark of recognition left in his life. A parking slotwith his name on it.
Scene 3. The door of the program director's office opens hardand slams against the wall. The P.D. looks up at our disc -jockey through the top of his glasses. Placing the copy of afocus group report he was reading on his desk, the P.D. sayswith a forced smile:
"You don't happen to have a Coors on ya?"
"I didn't come here to drink" the disc jockey answers, "I comehere to talk."
"O.K., talk."
The disc jockey moves closer to the P.D.'s desk. "Why? Iwanna know why? Didn't I always do everything you askedme to? I done the all night show. I done weekends. I filled -induring vacations. I done all your dirty work so you couldkeep your hands clean. Then, when it was my turn ... whenthe morning spot opened -up ... I begged ya for it. You said,'It's not your time, Buddy Boy, I'm bringin' in my brother
19
Joey.' Not my time? Are you kiddin'? I was ready. I was inshape. I could've taken the ratings with both hands tied. Youwere supposed to be my friend. If I hadn't listened to you ...I could've been a contender. I could've been a somebody . . .
instead of a nobody. First you give it to me, and then yougive it to one of your own ... your brother, Joey. Well, nowI'm gonna give it to you."
The program director slowly opens the bottom desk drawerand pulls out a half eaten box of Lady Godiva Chocolates.
"I'll always take care of you, Buddy Boy. Have one."
As the disc jockey reaches for a chocolate covered nougat, hiseyes glance towards the open drawer, and he notices a box ofKosher Salt lying on its side.
Scene 4. The movie is over. You are leaving the theatre. Asyou climb into your vintage Mustang ...

Dear Gavin ReportHaving arrived safely back at KGOY, here in Foonman,
Ohio, I thought I'd offer the service of informing my fellow
radio folks about the good life in L.A. I saw a lot, but here are
a few of my favorite things:
1. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.
2. The Bill Drake Sculpture: This looming headless statue
stretches high from its perch in the Hollywood Hills. The
daddy of Much More Music is carved in granite, overlooks
Mulholland Drive, and is framed by smaller stautes of Bill
Watson and Bernie Torres.
3. Paul Drew'smansion: It's about a 28 -second intro to the
surrounding moat. Once inside, the tour takes no longer than
two minutes and fifteen seconds.
4. Rick Dees: He can be viewed daily from 10:01 to 10:02
AM. That's the time it takes to get off the air at KIIS/FM and
down to the chauffered De Lorean. Carry a small recorder
while saying hello. You can later edit his comments and use
them for wild tracks.
5. KPRZ (Music of Your Life): Regular tours are conducted by
Georgia Gibbs, Kay Starr and the Hugo Winterhalter Singers,
all of whom have been exhumed for this service and get
around on vinyl walkers.
6. The Bob Hamilton Seminars: The trade sheets publisher
(as opposed to the KRTH Major Domo) conducts sermons at
various houses of worship around Hollywood. He's assisted
by spiritual advisors Don Anti and the Late Gerry Cagle.
Check your local Scientology listings.

A LETTER FROM DANNY T. HOLIDAY
7. Lucy's MexicanRestaurant: Directly across from KHJ, this
landmark is the acutal eatery where RKO P.D. John
Sebastian used to salt ... repeat SALT his salted cornchips
during happy hours with local promo persons.
8. The Forum: Possible Jackson's concert locale, it is
currently best known as the venue blacklisted by Charlie
Minor of A&M Records, upon learning that Sushi is not
served at the refreshment stands.
9. Bobby Rich's Travel Agent: Busiest man in L.A. Exists only
to book Bobby's flights back and forth across America to
call -letters far & wide. A must see!
10. Billy's Bar BQ: This Beverly Hills eatery has a juke box
featuring ONLY Huey Lewis and Spandau Ballet. No one
knows why.
11. ACME Printing Corp.: This frantically active firm serves
only one purpose. They duplicate resumes for Howard
Rosen. A bonus for any tourist.
... and that was just a sampling of my L.A. visit, Gavin people. I
learned a lot at the convention. High-tech computer research
techniques haveconvinced me that I and other humans may
soon be unemployed ... but, hey ... I respect the new artery
detection equipment ... and on my final day in the lobby I asked
Dick Williams and Jack Satter of EMI Records how they enjoyed
the symposiums. Dick said he LOVED his symposiums with Jack
and Jack said he loved HIS symposiums with Dick.
Farewell, UP With Radio ... until next time.

Chapter 6
A Little Thanks to Our FriendBefore you read too far into this chapter, I have a confession. I
didn't write it. Bill Gavin did.Gavin didn't sit in my office at my typewriter and choose the
words or the sequence of ideas. But just as he has influencedthe careers of thousands of disc jockies, programmers, recordpersonnel, and radio managers, he influenced this essay andevery one I've ever written.
Those of us who have lived in Gavin's sphere of influence gottogether the night before the NAB's 1983 Radio ProgrammingConference in San Francisco to say "thanks." It was the 25thanniversary of the Gavin Report, the music tip sheet that Gavinfounded and recently sold to his own staff so that the same name,reputation for integrity, and style would continue.
Over the years of reporting on the music and the trends inradio, Gavin has seen his share of "good guy" DJs,"discoveries," "flashbacks," rip-offs, hot tracks, hot hits, "Q"formats, satin jackets, and tee shirts.
He's also seen the carnival -like roadshow that has taken discjockies and program directors from town to town in search ofhigher pay, greater ego satisfaction, and more mentions in theGavin Report.
"Some say that if you listen to any radio station throughout itsentire broadcast day, you'll find less than five minutes of thattime devoted to operational ideas that originated with thatstation," Gavin wrote in Billboard in 1964.
It was those Billboard "Programming Newsletter" articles thatintroduced me to Bill Gavin and to the fact that radio had theoryand not just "stacks of wax."
In 1964, he constructed a diary that described American radiofrom the perspective of an imaginary traveler from anotherplanet: "American radio survives by a peculiar indirection. Itoffers its entertainment and information to its listeners withoutcharge. Broadcast music comes almost entirely fromphonograph records, most of which are supplied free to theradio ... We might conclude that radio is a friendly trap,pleasantly baited with free entertainment, designed to catch andhold a large number of listeners so that their ears may bebeguiled-or besieged-by advertisements."
During the years since that was written, there have been minorchanges, yet the "friendly trap" description of radio still stands.
What Bill wrote during the 25 years of the Gavin Report stillstands up today as logical, common sense programming. Hereare a few examples of Gavin philosophy:
Successful Stations"Stations holding a fairly stable rating position have built up a
large following whose loyalty is practically impervious to thecompetitive blandishments of big prizes and high -power diskjockies ... A station's position of respect and acceptance in acommunity is based on more long-term objectives than can bemet by DJs, prizes, records, and production. If we limit ourexpectations exclusively to what is broadcast on the air, we areneglecting opportunities to build listener loyalty-something thatgrows out of the station's non -broadcast activities in thecommunity."
Management"A radio station is people. Its impact on listeners and
advertisers is the product of a number of people doing a numberof things. Engineers, secretaries, salesmen, disk jockies,accountants, supervisors, switchboard operators, and managersall combine to produce profitable programming."
There are seven attributes of a good manager, according toGavin: objectivity, open-mindedness, conviction, courage,consistency, awareness, and a sense of community
Programming"Those PD ideas that work best over the long haul are
centered around getting listeners to tune in rather than worryingabout what makes them tune out"
Gavin has said that PD should stand for "People Director." Ithas been said that the most successful PD is the one who doesthe least directing. As Gavin says: "It could be said moreaccurately that the most fortunate PDs are those who need to dothe least directing." (Emphasis added.)
Music Policy"Each musical selection that goes on the air is somewhat like
a beam of light, illuminating a certain segment of the audienceaccording to its breadth and intensity. The general type of musicdetermines the breadth of appeal; the depth with which itpenetrates is determined by its popular appeal-often referred toas 'hit potential.'
"Communication becomes somewhat easier when we discussmusic in terms of listener reaction. Given a specific segment ofmusical tastes on which to focus our musical beams of light, it isthen up to the programmer to achieve the depth of penetrationnecessary to build good ratings."
Disk JockiesYou'll notice that I've spelled the word two different ways.
While I generally use "disc" jockey, Gavin used "disk" jockey foryears. It was the Gavin Report that began using the term "airtalent" when references to DJs became negative. (Negativeswere in the minds of radio, not in the public mind.)
Just as Gavin had a list of qualities for a §ood manager, hepublished these guidelines for DJs in 1963:
1. Be yourself.2. Respect your listeners.3. Prepare your show.4. Your show is music.5. Avoid dead air.6. Make your show move.7. Contrast your music.8. Balance your music.9. "Sell" your music.
10. Highlight your show.11. Be funny, if you can; if not, don't try.12. Think about your job.
The last point has been an important one for me, whether Iwas a disc jockey, programmer, manager, or consultant In allthose roles, it seems that Gavin has been there as an influence,whether through the weekly music lists in the Gavin Report or anoccasional personal note of encouragement
As we all said in San Francisco in August 1983, "Thanks, Bill."

Though AA stations will behot on "Blue Line", "Easy Does" or "Prey", we feel evenstronger about the LP's tour de force, "Waters Part". LET'SACTIVE sounds their best in the studio where they can calcu-latingly create an Alternative classic like "Waters Part". It'sour song of the week by far!
Up Around The Bend/High School/I Can't Get It/Blvd. OfBroken Dreams -HANOI ROCKS (Epic) If MOTLEY CRUEcould only play they'd...no, that's not nice. HANOI ROCKSput out a bushel of grungy LP's overseas before settlingon razzle dazzling a younger US crowd with this slick Amer-ican debut. On the poop sheet inside, HR are comparedfavorably to THE STONES, CLASH, T.REX, MOTT THEHOOPLE,KISS, early JAPAN(?!), and their closest closetcounterparts, the NEW YORK DOLLS. CCR's "Up AroundThe Bend" gets an affectionate goose up the zootie. I'd say"High School" sounds like the first metal aerobic workout.Action action, the kidz'll love this stepped on Scandanavianjunk rock. Don't miss out.
Just Like You/Blood From A Stone/Freedom Row/Eve OfDestruction -RED ROCKERS (415/Columbia) Hey, this is good!Quite good, in fact. The RED ROCKERS take a big budgetby the horns, coming up with music that's gutsy, easy toprogram, but still thought provoking and at times disturbing(especially "Freedom Row"). The opener, "Just Like You" willremind listeners, vaguely, of BIG COUNTRY, guitars andall. During a time when lots of bands sound mechanical andcomputerized, the young RR's add ingredients of anguish,energy, and melody to their mainstream style of rock 'n'roll. Look for a profile inside an upcoming GAVIN. Commer-cial and Alternative beware.
"JAM SCIENCE"-SHRIEKBACK (ARISTA/UK)Limited import status hasn't held back airplay.
J,Y4a/1-e-47 Busted Loose/Steel Claw -DAVE EDMUNDS (Columbia) DAVEshines best when he covers PAUL BRADY's material. "SteelClaw" is more subdued than TINA's version, but is equallyeffective. "Busted Loose", off of BRADY's HARD STATIONLP is resusitated almost note for note.
Take Hold Of The Flame-QUEENSRYCHE (EMI) As outlinedin our HEAVY METAL piece a few weeks back,QUEENSRYCHEplays a complex and progressive brand of metal that's sym-phonic and dramatic. THE WARNING was produced by JAMESGUTHRIE, an engineer who's spent a lot of time locked upwith psychos like PINK FLOYD and ROGER WATERS. Justthink, only one more LP until the Third QUEENSRYCHE.Maybe they'll interpret WAGNER's PARSIFIL.
Walking ON Thin Ice -ELVIS COSTELLO (Polydor) A curiouscompilation, as a strange blend of talent interprets YOKOONO as a songwriter. Principal contributors include: ELVISCOSTELLO (produced by ALLEN TOUSSAINT), a dormantHARRY NILSSON, EDDIE MONEY, and the late JOHNLENNON. Only the B -52's are missing.
What Kind Of Man Reads Playboy/Parade-ANDY SUMMERS/ROBERT FRIPP (AtM) Eggheads ROBERT FRIPP and ANDYSUMMERS keep sane by getting together once and again fora strum, a dial twitch, and a drum blast. My copy of "WhatKind Of Man..." has swirling, grainy grooves, a lot like themusic, actually. Instrumental and strictly for the far-sighted.
I Will Dare -THE REPLACEMENTS (Twin Tone) A little groovepiece from the usually harder -core REPLACEMENTS. REM'sPETE BUCK includes both a guitar solo and a little exampleof the velvet punch at which REM is so good.

ANALYSIS
As his band rages across the USA, BRUCE SPRINGSTEENmaintains an even stronger grip on the number one slotthan he did before the "Cover Me" single came out. Aska simple question department: regarding my querie overEDDIE and HIS CRUISERS, here's the scoop. It's officiallyJOHN CAFFERTY from the EDDIE & THE CRUISERS film. Ifyou throw in a BEAVER BROWN BAND, I'm sure the bassplayer would appreciate it. An entire JC & BBB album isfinished but won't be released until the soundtrack settlesdown a bit. Bact to the chart... Bowie and U2 are POWERTRIOISTS again this week.Those two 12 inchers will remain
ALTERNATIVE CROSSOVERS
entrenched until the LP's are released. Then it's madnessall over again. Quite a few turnarounds because of newemphasis trax: HONEYMOON SUITE, TWISTED SISTER, DIO,plus TINA TURNER again. ROMEO VOID glides to a cool #9,
No foreseeable trouble for the girl. I heard from the frontthat KROKUS is selling new LP's to the tune of 400,000 per.Whew! Expect lots of fireworks with the new 38 SPECIALsingle on CAPITOL (not A&M) from the movie and soundtrackentitled TEACHERS. NICK NOLTE plays an English teacher.Now wouldn't you rather have had NICK NOLTE instead ofMRS. NEFF as your high school teacher? Speaking of movies,DAVE SHOLIN's (why does he get mentioned here everyweek?) article, ROCK ON FILM on page 13 is a good onebut he forgot one stunning achievement in rock, films, REPOMAN. Produced by MICHAEL NESMITH, RM takes place inSouthern Cal with a blizzard of HARDCORE music (not filmfootage, you sickie) by BLACK FLAG, THE JUICY BANANAS,with IGGY POP singing the closing theme. This movie makesROCK AROUND THE CLOCK look like SANTA CLAUS CON-QUERS THE MARTIANS (which was PIA ZADORA's film debut).Back to the chart. Next week's debuts could include not only38 SPECIAL, but a revived ROD STEWART (go on kid, getback into the ring), a new HALL & OATES, and probablyRICKIE LEE JONES and DENNIS DEYOUNG. YOKO ONO'scompilation got a good out -of -the -box start this week. Expectsome substancial jumps next week from SURVIVOR,THE REDROCKERS, and DAVE EDMUNDS. We will be adding moreGAVIN INDICATOR STATIONS in the next few week. Mean-while, kudos to those who get through despite the jammedlines. To the rest of you, keep trying mates. KZ

(Tommy Boy) "Unity"
The see -saw battle continues at the top with theBANGLES regaining the #1 position and their POWERTRIO status, from ROMEO VOID.
LOVE TRACTOR and the RED HOT CHILIPEPPERS had good weeks, but are now running intosome stiff competition. The RHCP'S still show poten-tial to move up even further into the Top 5.
This week's GAVIN CERTIFIED, SHRIEKBACK, isonce again the highest import on the chart . Theservicing of the album to all Alternative stationssimultaneously is a key factor to its success.
THE CHURCH, as predicted, had a fine weekmoving five spots, but as was the case withSHRIEKBACK last week, it's still waiting to receivethe firm airplay commitment it deserves.
U2 and BOWIE both did well and should kick intohigh gear once their full albums are released.
LET'S ACTIVE, the most added record this week,debuts in the middle of the chart at 18. Look forLET'S ACTIVE to get real active out of the gate inthe next few weeks. They have a proven trackrecord and will be a major Alternative force in thecoming months.
The REPLACEMENTS have released a three songpreview of their full album. Both the 12" and fullLP will make their presence very well known.Stations (Particularty non-commercial) are familiarwith the group and have been anticipating thisrelease.
XMAL DEUTSCHLAND re -appears as a CHART -BOUND album - a position it has occupied before.But with a national tour scheduled (to begin at endof the month) airplay will likely pick-up.

CHUG BEERWMMS/FM-CLEVELAND, OHIO, offered plenty of beer, eth-nic food, dancing, cakewalking, and contests to their listenerswhen they scheduled their OKTOBERFEST IN SEPTEMBER.You could chug beer, ride the beer slide, and end it all at therock'n'roll show that night. The day (September 8th) was co-sponsored by the station, Bud Light, and the Brandywine SkiResort/Dover Lake Park.
ARE YOU DRUNK YET?The next day, September 9th, WM MS/ FM invited their listen-ers to join them again in their big drag -racing blow-out. Onceagain, they ran a beer chugging contest, and also featured amud -wrestling competition, hot dog racing, live rock'n'roll,and a $500 first prize for the "run-what-you-brung" dragracing contest.
WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN?KOMO-SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, recently began providingroad service to stranded motorists. The "KOMO Road Ranger"rescue vans assist motorists in distress during morning andafternoon drive times. Sanctioned by Washington state patrol-men, the vans assist drivers in need of gas, air, and tire help.They also take stranded motorists to nearby phones, if neces-sary. Drivers of the vans are a former fire fighter and a formerpatrolman. So far, they have assisted in rescuing a truck on fireand a patrolman who had a tire blow-out during a high speedchase, among many other "mercy missions".
WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN?Speaking of motorists in distress, WASH-WASHINGTON,D.C.,also offers road assistance to motorists with its "WASHCruiser". Manned by "Captain WASH", the vehicle is equippedwith a police scanner and a "Live Studio" with two-way com-munication to report rush hour traffic conditions. The stationalso offers a free brochure to motorists called "Auto SafetyTips". Promotions Director Kathi Kolodin says WASH hasalready given out "a couple of thousand" of the brochures,and plans to continue the service indefinitely.
RACING FOR HEALTHY KIDSChildren's Hospital of Orange County will beneift once again,as it has for the past five years, due to the efforts of KFWB-LOSANGELES. By charging $5 to $10 entry fees for a race arounda designated course at the South Coast Plaza shopping cen-ter, KFWB, in conjunction with the CHOC South Coast Classic,has raised more than $60,000 in the past five years. They havedeveloped a reputation for featuring one of the most excitingrunning fields in the Southern California circuit. Prizes includetrophies, plaques or medals, as well as merchandise awards,and a Cruise to Mexico.
REGISTER-A-THONIn an effort to register Broward County citizens to vote in thePresidential election, WAXY/FM-Ft. Lauderdale, and theLeague of Women Voters, held a lunchtime Register-a-Thonand live remote broadcast on Wednesday, September 12, infront of the County Library. This was geared for downtownworkers who had not registered to vote but who could conve-niently do so on their lunch hour. Through the month of Sep-tember, WAXY/FM will be working closely with the Dade,Broward, and Palm Beach branches of the League of WomenVoters in an effort to register as many eligible citizens aspossible.
COOL IN THE POOLJarrett Day, PD at KSO-Des Moines, Iowa, did his 4 -hour showin the cool of one of his sponsor's pools over Labor Day Friday.After his engineer assured him that his equipment wasgrounded, he invited his audience to join him. When thetemperature hit 94°, he had guests, and even when thunderand lightning struck the station and put them off the air for 18minutes, he still stayed in the pool, along with 6 of his die-hardlisteners. By the way, he was not treading water, he was sittingon a chaise lounge in the water. (In the past, he has done hisshows in the back seat of the "Tornado" at AdventurelandAmusement Park, also from their "Raging River Raft Ride",and from their "Sky Seats".)
ROOF-A-THONWould you be willing to spend 6 days on the roof for MDA?WTAW in Bryan, TX, did a "remote" broadcast from the roof ofa "7/11" building -24 hours a day-and raised almost $1,000a day while doing it. Ron Elliott, P.D. of the station master-minded the promotion, which started on August 27th with thehelp of 7-11/Southland Corporation. Congratulations andkeep it "up"!
TRIVIAL PURSUITA round robin "Trivial Pursuit" tournament has been sche-duled for September 18th. The tourney is planned by StefRybak at KC101 /FM -New Haven, CT. The station is currentlytaking registrations for the eight -week contest. The grandprize will be a trip for two to the Bahamas.
PURSUING TRIVIASince the Oak Ridge Boys and Kenny Rogers were due intown for concerts, WHN-New York put a different twist on thetrivia craze, by personalizing the game. Listeners were questi-oned and their trivial knowledge about Kenny and the Oakspaid off with free passes to the concert. Grand prize winnerswere awarded back stage passes.

THE GAVIN REPORT
HITECH HINFI
(Reprinted by permission of Eric Norberg, ConsolidatedCommunications Consultants, 2130 Huntington Drive, Suite 209, So.Pasadena, CA 91030)
here's an article on the facing page of this issue The GavinReport about digital sound. The process is that the complexwaveform we hear as sound is not just converted from airpressure vibrations (sound) to an electrical signal of the sameshape (analog), but then is converted to a series of numbers(digital). The process is reversed to reconstruct the audio in thesame form as the original. This music -to -math -to -music enco-ding/decoding process seems almost magical, but it works;and since noise introduced in the recording is not in mathemat-ical form, it is not decoded as sound at the other end of thechain, and the resulting reproduction can be clear, dynamicand noise -free beyond the imagination of engineers just a fewyears ago.
As I've pointed out before, the bandwidth required to transmit adigital audio signal is currently beyond the capability of bothAM and FM stations, and there is some worry in broadcastingabout a market in which the consumer can buy recordings (CDdiscs) that sound far better than radio can ever sound. Somestations are avoiding using CD discs out of fear of promoting amedium that puts them at a disadvantage; others use them onthe theory that the better the sound into the transmitter, thebetter the sound out of the radio, even if it's not as good as itmight be. This could be a tempest in a teapot; after a quartercentury of high fidelity, most consumers seem unconcernedand perhaps unaware that FM cannot transmit music as wellas conventional records reproduce it, due to the compromisesnecessary in transmitting dense, high-level modulation withthe handicap of a steep high -frequency boost built into thetransmission system.
The point is, for those broadcasters interested in doing digitalrecording themselves, there is a relatively cheap way of doingit The professional digital mastering tape machines still cost aton, but Sony has developed an encoding system which per-mits audio to be converted into digital form, and then recordedon the "picture head" in videocassette machines. The very highspeed of the head with respect to the tape permits the neces-sary bandwidth, and since a conventional videocassettemachine is used, both the equipment and the tape is relativelyinexpensive.

There is an even less expensive way of accomplishing muchthe same thing. The new "Beta Hi Fi" videocassette machines,invented by Sony and now marketed under several brandnames, provide stereo audio channels that exceed the capabil-ities of even the best "analog" reel-to-reel tape machines forsound recording; although the technique is not digital, it's thenext best thing. The sound is converted to two FM signals,which then are encoded in an empty spot in the picture signal.The speed of the head with respect to the tape is over 100inches per second, and the audio fidelity is extremely high, anddistortion and noise exceedingly small, so that fidelity anddynamic range rival digital itself. The Beta Hi Fi Betamaxeshave all the necessary encoding and decoding built in, and it'sstandard for use on any Beta Hi Fi equipped machine too.
Cueing is no problem; the Beta Hi Fi machines contain aninaudible tone -indexing device that permits precise cueing,and up to five hours of audio can be recorded on a single L-830Beta cassette.
Our company, Consolidated Communications Consultants,has developed an IBM PC computer program to generate avideo signal to accompany whatever is recorded on the audiotrack (i.e.; songs in the station's music library); the video signalcan be the title and artist indexing, necessary format and timinginformation, countdown of intro or song length, end -warnings,and bio information. Once recorded on the tape with the audiosignal, it will always be in perfect synchronization with it. Weshowed this system in action at the NRBA convention in NewOrleans last Fall, and if you are interested in knowing moreabout it, feel free to write us at the address at the head of thecolumn. Or call; the Los Angeles phone number is (818) 441-1864.
This is just one way stations can transfer records to tape forairplay. This sort of transfer means that the records are notgoing to wear out; and with today's plastics and the end ofservicing of multiple copies of records, this is a much morecritical problem than it used to be. It also affords a means ofcontrolling what in the library gets played; and it provides a wayto store a large volume of music in a small space. More aboutthis next week.
THE GAVIN REPORT September 14, 1984
Anything from video movies to video concerts benefit from expanded stereo technology.
VIDEO GOES STEREOby KENT/KEITH ZIMMERMAN
Beta rd=ignEven the cover of TIME Magazine reflected it America is
captured by the home video phenomenon. Watching moviesand concerts at home is one of America's best alternatives toNetwork television programming and repeat -ridden cableviewing. But a new breed of video recorders have been devel-oped with superior audio-the Beta and VHS Video CassetteRecorders.
It's a breakthrough in the world of video; actually a marriageof the audio-phile and the video-phile-and the music indus-try is caught in the middle. Hi-Fi used to be a term for thoseMono records in the Fifties. Now the Hi-Fi Video CassetteRecorder means a specially developed method of stereosoundtracking to go with the video image. This Hi-Fi sound-track, on both VHS and Beta, soars above the quality of audio -only cassette decks. With so much attention going into videoas a means of marketing and promoting music, Hi-Fi VCR'shave catapulted video into the same league as records, pre-recorded audio cassettes, Compact Discs, and laser discs.
The method of recording that makes Hi-Fi VCR outperformstandard audio cassette decks is called AFM-Audio Fre-quency Modulation. AFM is level two of a tri-level standard foraudio recording-i.e. standard analog, AFM, and PCM digital.
Level One is the basic analog compact cassette recordingwith which everyone is so familiar. It's well known that audio-cassettes have caught up to the stereo phonograph record inboth sales and respectability. According to New Music pio-neer Malcolm McLaren, "ghetto blasters" and "Walk Men"make it possible for someone to carry one's culture in theirback pocket
Simple analog cassette recording works on the followingprinciple: As tape is pulled across the recording head, thesurface particles on the tape is encoded with a magneticsignal. In playback, the tape is pulled across a similar headand its encoded magnetic field offers a replica of the originalinput from which the tape was recorded.
Both traditional audio cassettes and Hi-Fi VCR share theanalog style of recording; that is, the recorded signal thatcomes out of the analog process resembles the input in someway. However, the AFM (short for Audio Frequency Modula-tion) process is a technologically improved version of analog.AFM recording utilizes an FM carrier frequency (much like FMradio broadcasts) that makes the audio recording quality inde-pendent of the visual characteristics of the tape. Frequencyresponse, signal to noise ratio, and distortion are determinedby the design of the recording equipment as opposed to thequality (or limitations) of the tape. For example, a great homeaudio cassette machine is only as good as the tape quality. InHi-Fi VCR, the reverse is the rule. Since the relative quality ofvideo tape is the same (either regular or High Grade), it's the
34
recording mechanism itself that dictates the quality. One of theonly setbacks of VCR recording is "dropout", a most dreadedphenomenon.
Dropout on VCR audio is a gap on the tape's magneticcoating that sounds like one or two seconds of low qualitymono, at best Still, with high speed recording and qualityinspected video tape, dropout on a well maintained machineis rare. Consequently, video tape quality control has been onthe upswing. Also, it's still a rule of thumb that BETA Hi-Fi is alittle ahead of VHS Hi-Fi in terms of available software and,arguably, sound quality.
The SANYO BETA HI -Fl VCR 7200 is an affordableaudio/video workhorse.
The difference between a level one audio cassette record-ing and a level two AFM Hi-Fi VCR is the difference betweenAM and FM. Level one utilizes AM (Amplitude Modulation)-i.e. an increase in the input level creates an increase of theamplitude of the recorded signal. AFM uses a carrier fre-quency common in FM broadcasting-a boost in the inputlevel creates in increase of the frequency rather than therecorded level.
Level Three recording, PCM Digital, is the champ. PCM isshort for Pulse Code Modulation-a digital rather than ananalog process. On PCM, the recorded information is storedon the tape in a wide range of sophisticated computer codes.On playback these codes are read off the tape and convertedback into a series of analog voltages, much like the playbackof any tape recorder. Digital recording makes possible thereproduction of frequency ranges beyond the realm of humanhearing. Digitally speaking, the information, also stored onvideo cassettes, does not resemble the input at all. The advan-tage of digital recording is in the extremely clean reproduc-tion. The disadvantages are: 1) one has to be careful not tooverload the recording process otherwise a bad case of dis-

ANALYSIS
The chart is tight this week, despitethe more than five point jumps by theSchneider,Johnny Lee,Moe Bandy, LeeGreenwood, Statler Brothers, and Don
Williams singles. The reason may be thenumber of good new records out there.Alabama will "fiddle" on next week, keepingBarbara and Lee out of the number onespotlight. Listeners refuse to let the Richiefade away. Charles Lande at WMLS/FM-Sylacauga, AL, reports the local storescan't keep the Janie Fricke record instock. Willie Nelson and Pinkard & Bowdenare also selling well. This is the thirdtime around for George Jones' new single"She's My Rock". The song was also a hitfor Stoney Edwards and Brenda Lee.Enough comment - we're happy to WelcomeBack : EDDIE EDWARDS, WMC Radio, 1960Union Ave, Memphis, TN 38104.- (901) 726-0555. tie'd also like to Welcome : JOHNSCHREIER, KQKD Radio, P.O.Box 110,Redfield, SD 57469 - (605) 472-1380.

It's Ladies' Night at the Gavin Report! Theladies have it and are looking good this week:females gaining on our chart include DenieceWilliams, Stephanie Mills, Alicia Myers, JanetJackson, Madonna, Chaka Khan, Rebbie Jackson,Diana Ross and, last, but not least, Tina Turner!With Deniece, Alicia and Stephanie already top 10,the Jackson sisters, Janet and Rebbie, respective-ly, could be the next big challengers to go tothe top. Janet is already #9 at WYLD-New Orleansand gaining on many other charts. Diana andChaka are headed for the ten, which could causea real pile-up of women (most of you programmersshould enjoy that!). Madonna goes "Certified"on our cover this week, and it's justly deserved -sounds great wherever you hear it. Slipping intothe chart behind Tina this week, two more girlsVanity and Patrice Rushen, debut at #29 and #30,based on station chart numbers. Speaking of
PRINCE - Purple Rain/TheBeautiful Ones
JACKSONS - One More ChanceOHIO PLAYERS - School GirlVANITY - Mechanical EmotionSTEVIE WONDER - It's You
"behind" Tina - if you're still waiting to add it -that's where you'll be. It's also our "Pop Cross-over" choice this week - with 153 stations reportingit in our Top 40 format. The final thrust wouldbe when you hear it on the air - it'll convince youthat it's an audience grabber. Time charts thisweek in Cincinnati at WCIN, Columbus at WVKO,in Austin at KNOW, and goes into hot rotation atWDRQ-Detroit. Below the chart, reports arepretty heavy on Lakeside and Champaign. LeonHaywood's "Tenderoni" grabbed a few morestations, while the early -on -it stations havealready charted it. Of the new product releasedrecently, Ashford Et Simpson top the list ofnew airplay, followed by Grandmaster Melle Mel'slatest effort, "We Don't Work For Free". Expecta lot of adds on them next week too. Another"new" to keep watch on next week is the releaseof the Hall 6 Oates single "Out Of Control'.It's a thriller. Betty

VIDEO GOES STEREO (cont'd. from pg.34)
tortion sets in, 2) PCM technology is still too expensive forconsumer home recording use.
Even if the actual video cassettes are bulkier than conven-tional audio cassettes, there are certain advantages to VCRstyle recorders as audio tape cassettes. The main advantageis the noticeable absence of hiss. Because of the tape's speedand size, sound reproduction is quite impressive. Also, theextended length of a BETA -750 Video Cassette, for example,means over three hours of continuous music. At about sixdollars per cassette, the cost figure compared to regular com-pact cassettes is a wash.
Yet, when you consider the higher cost of quality compactmetal audio cassettes, VCR recording may make more sense.It should be considered, however, that although the SONYConsumer Products Department says that high grade videotapes aren't necessary with high speed BETA II recording, thehigher the grade of tape the less chance of drop out.
Another big advantage of a BETA Hi-Fi ownership is theonslaught of music/movie software fast becoming availableon BETA Hi-Fi cassettes. Concert tapes by David Bowie,Herbie Hancock, Culture Club, Linda Ronstadt and otherstars, make watching and listening quite a dramatic expe-rience. Some of the best include:
1) NEIL YOUNG LIVE IN DAYTON, OHIO-As yet unre-leased, this is the BETA Hi-Fi concert tape by which others willbe judged. Recorded digitally during his 1983 Shocking PinksTour, this sixty minute show includes a walloping set of acous-tic tunes. The live interpretation of the "Trans" album showsthe up -to -now hidden potential which NEIL YOUNG failed toconvey on the LP. The SHOCKING PINK set features "Don'tTake Your Love Away From Me" one of Young's most emo-tional compositions. Like the stage show, the cassette concertis strung together with tongue-in-cheek interviews andcanned theme music. The entire production was shot byfamed film director HAL ASHBY and digitally recorded byELLIOT MAZER.
2) U2 LIVE AT RED ROCKS-This is the concert from whichthe mini -LP was released. The set was performed in the rain,but not in the least bit dampened. U2 perform classic versionsof "October" into "New Year's Day" then into a rousing "Glor-ia". Despite some slight video image feedback, the audioportion of U2's performance is of superior stock.
3) LOU REED LIVE AT THE BOTTOM LINE-Though theintro narration is a tad embarrassing, REED's show with bas-sist FERNANDO SAUNDERS, guitarist ROBERT QUINE, anddrummer FRED MAHER captures his best band for posterity.LOU's personal contact with the audience and the camera isminimal, but the playing is outstanding and the club atmo-sphere is cozy. By the way, there was an insert in LOU REED'slastest RCA Records album, "New Sensations" offering thecassette for a reduced $29.95.
4) RUMBLEFISH-FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA's art film forteenagers has an imaginative soundtrack by STEWARTCOPELAND of THE POLICE. On BETA Hi-Fi, the audio portionof the movie compliments director COPPOLA's photographicblack and white cinematography. The audio and the visualvirtually switch roles. The visual images are rebellious rock 'n'roll, while the audio track sounds like a movie.
Still, the ultimate in home audio/video will be affordablePCM Digital technology. Already developed overseas is theadaptation of PCM Digital onto standard home cassettemachines. Yet until that day becomes a marketing reality, Hi-FiVCR as audio recorders means getting the most out of owning
4 both a video recorder and an audio tape recorder unit.
THE GAVIN REPORT PERSONAL PICKS
kvePERSONAL PICKS
IT AIN'T ENOUGH -Corey Hart (EMI) "Sunglasses"laid the base, but as President Reagan saidrecently, "You ain't seen nothin'yet". Containsone of those hooks that grows stronger witheach listen. Don't be surprised to see exceptionallyslow burn once it attains heavy concentrated play.How will listeners respond? Our computer whizGeoff Marshall (someone outside of the biz) wasin the office the other day while it was playingand immediately asked "Is that the Police?".
TEACHER TEACHER -38 Special (Capitol) Leadoff single from the soundtrack of "Teachers"should be required listening for anyone takinga course in get down,nasty rock 'n' roll. I under-stand the album is loaded with potential hitsingles and if this is any indication...watch out!
EVE OF DESTRUCTION -Red Rockers (Columbia)It only took a few short weeks for the originalversion by Barry McGuire to get to number one.On August 4,1965, Bill Gavin wrote the following:"Judging from the most reliable sales dataavailable to us, no record in the country isselling as fast as 'The Eve Of Destruction' -over70,000 sold in one day - August 3rd."Two dayslater it debuted on the then Gavin Top 30 atnumber 11. Even though 19 years have passed ,
the strong lyric content is only slightly dated.Producer Rick Chertoff - responsible for CyndiLauper's LP - played the original for themembers of the band who loved it but wereunfamiliar with it! I've got a hunch a sizeablechunk of todays Top 40 audience has neverheard it either.
SAY HELLO TO RONNIE-Janey Street (Arista)Jimmy lenner's latest find is right down my alley.This is some kind of a debut for an artist whosesongwriting ability is matched by her talent asa vocalist. After a couple of listens, I foundmyself saying HELLO. Put an ear to it and seeif you can figure out what other song or songsit brings to mind. Please let me know 'cause it'sdriving me crazy.
ALBUMS OF THE WEEK
"EB84"-The Everly Brothers (Mercury/PolyGram)Back in perfect harmony again, recording underthe admiring guidance of the reverent DaveEdmunds, Don and Phil forsake the golden oppor-tunity of waxing nostalgic. Though the recenttour lingeredwistfully in the past, EB84 is current.Freshly written songs by Jeff Lynne (ELO) andPaul McCartney (Beatles - a band that broke upfifteen years ago) are the albums core. The EB'sare neither anachronists nor trendsetters, butrather originalists who've been reincarnated intime for those of us who were about to mournthe passing of an era.
"Schizophrenic Circus" -Red Rockers (415/Columbia)If you can get past the Fellini-meets-Adam Antcover art, you're in for a musical treat. ThisNew Orleans -based quartet of thoroughly modernmusicians pack more energy,creativity, and emotionin just the first four tracks than most of theposers and pretenders to progressive pop music.The band is a guitar -based unit which heavys-upon toney, twin -leads which quite often playbagpipe mantras forcontemplative /meditativelyric. Barry McGuire's EVE OF DESTRUCTION(actually written by P.F.Sloan) gets a renaissancerecital in Byrd -like harmony and the song willprove to be the initial drawing card, but we mayremember this album for tracks like: SHADES OF 4E,JUST LIKE YOU,BLOOD FROM A STONE, andFREEDOM ROW.
RON'S PLACEAs you may have noticed we've added contribu-
ting correspondents TONY RICHLAND, ARTROBERTS and JON BADEAUX to the editorial teamat THE GAVIN REPORT. They will be contributingon a semi -regular basis to the expanding pages ofTHE GAVIN. Their collective wit and wisdom couldfill a Hefty 3 -ply and we're glad to WELCOMEthem to the family. Also lending pen and ink isthe legendary BOBBY OCEAN. We hope you willenjoy his cartoons and caricatures.
Half of the GAVIN STAFF will be in attendanceat this week's Radio Convention and ProgrammingConference sponsored by the NAB E NRBA inLOS ANGELES. When we're not in TONYRICHLAND'S penthouse suite, we'll be "taking
lunches", "taking meetings" and saying hello toour many subscribers in attendance.
Two markets that will have Fall/Winter heatwaveswill be NEW YORK and SAN FRANSICSCO/SAN JOSE.In NYC, DOUBLEDAY veep of programming, DAVEMARTIN has hired MICHAEL ELLIS away fromSCOTT SHANNON'S Z100 to program a new T-40 -WAPP (switching from Album Rock). MICHAEL hasplayed a major role in the miraculous success storythat is told of ZI00.
In the SAN JOSE/S.F. T-40 picture add BOBHARLOW to the group shot. BOB is leaving KQXR-BAKERSFIELD to reprogram KEZR-SAN JOSE for thethird time in his career. BOB's probably takingthe A/C-KEZR more Top 40. If so, that would makesix reportable Top 40's in the nine Bay AreaCounties.
