SADE'S SMOOTH OPERATOR FUELS LP DEBUTSmooth Operator, the second
single from Epic recording artist Sade's debut LP,Diamond Life, is
rapidly scaling the RPM 100 singles survey after six weeks of
char-ting. The LP's debut single, Hang On To Your Love, went Top
20, and establishedthe young singer as one of Britain's most
exciting contributions to the '80s musicscene. The Diamond Life LP,
produced by Robin Millar, remains in the Top 20 onthe RPM 100 album
survey after 13 weeks of charting. Epic product is distributed
inCanada by CBS Records.
Sade (pronounced shar-DAY) was born ina village near Lagos,
Nigeria of a Nigerianfather and an English mother. When herparents
separated, her mother took Sade andher brother to England. Her
mother remar-ried, and Sade's high school years were spentin a
seaside village. At 17, she left home, go-ing to London to study
fashion. After corn-
pleting a 3-yr. course, she designed and madeclothes,
supplementing her income withmodelling jobs. "I got into it
(fashion design)because I like to draw," Sade has said. "Iliked the
creative part. But you really have tothink about business first and
foremost. Inever liked that part of it. I don't miss it. Iwouldn't
go back to it, never in a millionyears." In 1981, the manager of a
London -based funk band, Pride, offered Sade a gig asa backing
vocalist. She auditioned, and was
turned down. Shortly after, she was askedagain. This time she
accepted, "to help themout." On a song called Smooth Operator,Sade
(nee Helen Folasade Adu) would singlead. The song was in jazzy
contrast toPride's funky set. Ultimately, Sade and threemembers of
Pride worked out a short set ofmaterial on their own that was more
suitableto Sade's supple, soothing vocal. The band -eventually to
be known as Sade - opened forPride at Ronnie Scott's legendary jazz
club inLondon. Sade eventually expanded to includeseven members.
The current lineup is Sade(vocals), Stuart Matthewman (sax,
guitar),Andrew Hale (keyboards), and Paul S. Den-man (bass). For
the LP, the band wasbolstered by drummer Dave Early and
per-cussionist Martin Ditcham.
Sade co -wrote all of Diamond Life's songs,most of them with
Stuart Matthewman. TheLP received the "album of the year"
designa-tion at Britain's equivalent of the Grammyslast year. In
Canada, Diamond Life is well onits way to platinum status - sales
of 100,000units or more. Sade's recent comments in atelephone
interview with The Globe andMail's Liam Lacey seem to indicate a
com-mitment to quality and longevity in hercareer. "There was
nothing self-consciousabout this 'return to elegance' thing that
I'vebeen labelled with; it's just me," she said. "Idon't wear spiky
green and orange hairbecause that's what everyone wears now, andI'd
feel stupid in it. My music is understated. . . I like to get up in
the morning and dressin a way that makes me feel confident. I
liketo listen to music that sounds as though it wasmade to last."
As a young girl, Sade waspreoccupied with American soul -
primarilyMarvin Gaye. Other, older artists also in-terested her:
Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, andDinah Washington. Her love for these
artistscomes through loud and clear on DiamondLife - an LP
encompassing lounge -jazz,pop, and heartfelt soul. It is hoped
thatNorth Americans will be able to see - andhear - the magic of
Sade by summer's end. Afinal comment from the Globe interview:"I'm
a big believer in things that last -books, buildings or songs. Like
the Chryslerbuilding, you know. Nobody says, that's so'30s . . . it
just looks good to generation aftergeneration, and it will look
good forever."So with Sade. -KCW

Ontario Sales Tax bite relinquished for Tears
In a rare display of charity the Ontario Government has added
the weight of its Sales
Tax revenue to the Northern Lights for Africa (Society). It's
expected that more than
$100,000 in provincial sales tax revenue can be raised through
the sales of the Tear Are
Not Enough single. The announcement was made by the Province's
Treasurer Larry
Grossman. Fortunately the plan won't add a book-
keeping problem for retailers who will con- tinue to charge the
7 percent tax on the Tears
single, as well as the We Are The World (USA For Africa) LP and
cassette, which
contains the Tears track. The province will donate the total tax
collected to the Ethiopian
fund.
U.S. CD decline affects Canada Inconsistent output of finished
CD product
at Indiana's Digital Audio Disk Corporation is impacting on CD
availability in Canada for
CBS Records, who run the plant, as well as other major labels.
In the U.S., this has
meant long-term unavailability for product such as Billy Joel,
Cyndi Lauper, and Bruce
Springsteen. "Canada is certainly affected," says Don
Oates, Vice -President of Sales and Marketing for CBS. "Our
understanding at this time is
that things are turning around . . . by mid to
late May of this year we should see real evidence of that
happening." At present,
there are three CD plants in the world: the CBS facility in
Indiana; Sony/CBS in Japan; and Philips/Polygram in Europe.
Shipments
from Japan are currently slowed due to domestic demand there.
Canadian sources
place the cost of building a CD plant in this country as high as
$4 million.

Gowan promo package shipped to radio
CBS Records has released a two -record "radio only" package that
includes a copy of
Columbia recording artist Gowan's 2nd LP for the label, entitled
Strange Animal, and a
produced radio special on the artist. A Criminal Mind, the LP's
debut single, has
entered the Top 10 on the RPM 100 singles survey. Side 1 of the
interview disc contains
the complete half-hour special, while Side 2 is a collection of
22 individually banded and
timed clips. Radio stations can construct their own special, or
otherwise utilize the segments
according to their programming needs. The media special was
conceived and written by
Bob Mackowycz of Toronto's Q-107 FM outlet, and produced by Len
Naemark. The
set's jacket contains all in -out cue informa- tion required.
Kim Zayac, National Promo- tion Manager for CBS, tells RPM that
the
package was "pre -planned as a segue between Gowan's 1st and 2nd
singles." The label is set
to release the title track as the 2nd single from the Strange
Animal LP. "I played some
tracks for Bob (Mackowycz), and he was definitely into the
material," says Zayac.
"He's an intelligent programmer and reviewer - and I've worked
with him before.
I think we've created a very good profile of the artist." The
Strange Animal LP is Top 20 on the RPM 100 album survey. The
album
was produced in England by David Tickle, and features
vocalist/keyboardist Gowan
backed by members of Peter Gabriel's band. The promotional
package's jacket also
features the original artwork from Strange Animal as well as
Dimo Safari's photos of Gowan. Strange Animal recently attained
gold status (sales of 50,000 or more) in Canada.

Don't mention payola ... !!The Americans are just a bit touchy
aboutthe word "payola". Vancouver's Payola$are in a good position
to break into theU.S. so a little thinking prevailed and
theychanged the name of the group .. . slightly,to Paul Hyde &
The Payola$ . . . whichwill probably lead to an intro of Paul
Hyde.Their new single, You're The Only Love,was produced by David
Foster.
Randy Bachman is back!!Randy Bachman has joined with K.D.Lang
and The Powder Blues and otherVancouver -based artists to raise
needydollars for OXFAM. The centerpiece ofthe benefit LP is Open
Your Heart, writtenby Duane O'Kane and Id Guiness. Initialpressing
was 1,300, which hit retail Apr. 16.The LP will sell for $7.99 with
as much as$6.50 going to OXFAM. O'Kane andGuiness, employees of the
Ministry ofHuman Resources, have each spent over50 hours a week
setting up the projectover the last 3 months.

Toronto's CNE, Van-couver's PNE, and Montreal's Expo Stad-ium on

;Y:.1 pl [gallCFOR celebrates 40th yearDave Alatalo, Assistant
PD at CFOR Orillia,Ontario, advises that the station is
celebratingits 40th anniversary this July. As part of
thecelebrations they would like to air messagesfrom "anyone
involved with CFOR over thepast 40 years." It's interesting to note
that 40years ago, Bob Hope was in Orillia and cutthe ribbon at the
official opening. He haskept in touch with the station since and
willbe providing a phone interview and stationID's for the
anniversary date. Those wishingto submit memorabilia or best wishes

C-KAL counters local ragsRae Slavens, Promotion Director for
Ver-non's C-KAL, reports that the B.C. station"took an old idea and
turned it into a tremen-dous success." To counter the city's two
localnewspapers and other local media, the stationpublished a
Summer Flyer, to be released intime for the Spring BBM. The client
responsewas apparently more than had been an-ticipated resulting in
a flyer that "turned outto be 56 pagers and tabloid size." They
alsoworked in their major BBM promotion - alucky number on the
front cover - numbersaired hourly - listeners have 10 minutes and50
seconds to call in and qualify for a 2 -weektrip for 2 to Hawaii.
The flyer also tied -infeatured Weekend Music Specials using
thetheme Here Comes Summer. Naturally therewas lots of station ID
and promotion ex-posure and paid advertising. Asked if the sta-tion
would do it again, Slavens replied, "Youbet your bottom -line."
Sunbird promo at CJCLCJCL, Toronto's Music Of Your Life sta-
tion, has mounted a promotion for whatthey're billing "the prize
of a lifetime" -anew Pontiac Sunbird convertible from thestation
and Marvin Starr Pontiac Buick. Bet-ween Apr. 1 and May 3, the

MoreAnd No Less, was a top add at radio the firstweek out. Although
singer/writer TraceyHowe has replaced the band's electro-popsounds
with an earthier sound, we are an-ticipating strong support from
radio andretail. A video of No More And No Less,directed by Ron
Berti of Champagne Pic-tures, has been completed, and Rational
CD's and singlesboost Rhythms imageRhythms, the distributor
headed by PresidentDominique Zgarka, currently operates na-tionally
with branches in Toronto and Mon-treal.
The firm began four years ago as a Cana-dian 7" and 12" singles
rack -jobber and one -stop, dealing with chain stores and
indepen-dent outlets nationally.
"Three years ago, we expanded," saidZgarka, "to include records
of all configura-tions, from all countries, and in all musicstyles,
and increased our customer base to in-clude such chains as Sam The
Record Man,A&A Records and Tapes, and Music World.Two years
ago, with the help of SonyCanada, we began handling compact
discsfor resale to audio stores. We have nowdeveloped a network of
500 audio stores, aswell as the majority of the independent
andchain stores in Canada. As a natural exten-sion of having
developed this massivecustomer base, a year and a half ago,
wedecided to expand into distributing Canadianand foreign labels on
an exclusive basis."
Rhythms currently has a threefold positionin the Canadian
marketplace: distribution -23 labels under license including the
CBC'sSM5000 line; rack -jobber - racking productfrom all the major
Canadian labels for sub -distribution to over 100
independentlyoperated record stores that are not servicedby any of
the major record companies;audiophile distributor - the firm was
thefirst in Canada to sell a compact disc, andcontinues to service
approximately 500 storesnationwide.
Zgarka adds: "1985 will see Rhythms ex-pand mainly in the
distribution field. A re-cent major acquisition, the CBC
SM5000series, begins that expansion in a mostfavourable way."

EMI, CBS, MCA, Quality, Polygram, RCA,
WEA, A&M, and Attic. The case took shape when the RCMP's
London, Ont. detachment
(in conjunction with Patrick Fox, Dir. of In- vestigative
Services for CRIA) executed a
search warrant at the Steinhoff warehouse in Oct. 1984.
Approximately 30,000 pieces of
imported record and cassette product were seized. The charges
mentioned above involve
manufactured and imported cassettes and LPs from various
countries. It is alleged that,
in dealing with the product, the defendants infringed the
Canadian copyright interests of Canadian record company members
of
CRIA, the Canadian Recording Industry Association.
Richard Steinhoff was present for a brief court appearance on
Apr. 15 in Woodstock,
and is slated to appear in court again on May 6. A trial could
take place as late as
September of this year.

label. The members of this act hail from Peterborough. We
foresee Power Station as
being a smash success. Ashford & Simpson's Solid single has
gone gold. George
Thorogood will be touring Canada soon. Anne Murray, with Bruce
Murray as her
special guest, will headline Toronto's O'Keefe Centre in May. We
are releasing the Hiding From Love single from Bruce. The single's
video was produced by Tony Tobias.
Looking at Aquarius Records, Corey Hart's First Offense has sold
a quarter of a million
records in Canada. Corey is finishing his follow-up LP, a record
he is co -producing
with Jon Astley and Phil Chapman. Anthem's Coney Hatch has been
playing Canadian dates non-stop since the release of
the Friction LP. Show reviews have been positive.
Rockline program readied by TBS
Telemedia Broadcasting Systems (TBS) has announced the formation
of a new satellite
radio network to provide affiliate radio sta- tions with music
specials and live programm-
ing on a regular basis. According to Paul J. Williams, the
system's Vice -President of Marketing, the first program to
debut on the network in ear-
ly April will be Rockline. A successful U.S. program for the
last four years, Rockline has
been adapted for North America. The format presents a guest
artist's music while allowing listeners to call in and talk live
with the artist
via an '800' number. Says Williams: "What we essentially
have
accomplished is that Canadian calls will now be integrated into
the weekly 90 -min. pro-
gram. Canadian artists will also be regularly featured guests,
and we will even originate a number of Rockline programs from some
of
our Canadian affiliate studios." KLOS Los Angeles radio
personality Bob Coburn will be Rockline's host. The program
will air live via satellite Monday evenings at 11:30 PM EST.
Congratulations TRIUMPH
and
PEPSI -COLA CANADA LTD. on
your most successful Canadian tour to date!

also handles guitar on the session. His last album, Recent

Music Director nod for Wright Priscilla Wright's Paylode single,
Heartbeat,
made an impression on The Music Director, the respected U.S. A/C
programming ser-
vice. Her single, distributed by Frank Fara's Kansas -based
Comstock Records, scored No.
3 on the New Singles This Week section. The
single is also gaining favour with Canadian A/C programmers,
several of which

New Loverboy underway A new Loverboy LP, their first in almost
3
years, is currently being produced by Tom Allen At Vancouver's
Little Mountain Sound
and Mushroom studios. Jeff Burns, Vice President A&R for CBS
Records Canada,
tags the band's sound as "more aggressive and updated with the
times in style and pro-
duction." A tour is now being pencilled in for August. Meat Loaf
releases on RCA Meat Loaf returns to the business with Bad
Attitude, his first album for RCA, the release label for North
America. He releases in the U.K. on the Arista label. The new set,
pro-
duced by Meat Loaf, Mack and Paul Jacobs, contains a duet with
Who vocalist Roger Daltrey. Modern Girl will be released as the
first single. Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell, released on Columbia,
his previous release
label, attained diamond (1 million units sold) in Canada.
Gaye tribute released by CBS CBS is readying the release of
Dream Of A
Lifetime, the last studio album from the late Marvin Gaye. The
LP was recorded shortly before his death. Sanctified Lady will be
the
first single, issued as a 7" and 12". Katrina & Waves make
comeback
In view of U.S. action on the Capitol release of Walking On
Sunshine by Katrina & The
Waves, several Canadian radio stations are now adding the single
which was originally
released on the Attic label in Canada in August of last year.
The single was taken
from the group's self -titled U.S. release, a reworking of songs
from their first 2 albums,
Walking On Sunshine and Katrina & The Waves 2. "The songs
were re-recorded from
RPM -
April 27, 1985 -
9
the ground up," explained Attic's Ralph Alfonso. "Capitol wanted
them re-recorded
and the band felt they could improve on the sound. Because it's
clicking in the States,
response here is stronger and the song sounds better. The
American action is really
helping." Alfonso concludes with, "Now everyone knows who the
band is." The Cam-
bridge, Ontario -based quartet, fronted by Katrina Leskanich
(lead vocals and guitar),
have just completed a successful European tour, and are putting
together a Canadian tour for May.

IDLE EYES - PopIdle Eyes -WEA -25-17511-PA new Canadian signing
to WEA, Idle Eyespossess a clean pop/white reggae soundfocussed on
lead vocalist Tad Campbell.Herein might lie a problem though,
asCampbell's stark warble coupled with GlennSmith's tremolo -laden
guitars reminds oneall too easily of Men At Work's Colin
Hay.Lyrically, the songs are occasionally repeti-tive, addressing
love, treason, and danger.Perhaps the band can shoot for a
moreautonomous stance on future outings.
