Part One of a series

The dawning of the eighties wasn't greeted with too much optimism, with the bottom,

literally falling out of the industry in the late '70s and into 1980. However, that optimism

turned into very positive thinking, as year after year, the industry began experiencing "the best quarter" or the "best month" and,

of course, "the best year". There was no place to go but up, in the

early years of the eighties, and as the record companies trimmed the fat and introduced

new marketing, sales and promotion ideas, the upturn was obvious. Double, triple,

quadruple platinum plus diamond certifica- tions were quite common over the past year, and two of those diamond awards were for

Cancon album releases: Bryan Adams' Reckless, although much of it did happen in

the latter part of 1985, and Corey Hart's Boy In The Box.

Cancon perhaps, enjoyed its best year in 1986, with acts scoring multi -platinum and gold certifications. As the year came to a

close, Cancon certifications for December were quite impressive, led by Capitol's Glass

Tiger, with triple platinum (300,000 units sold) for their The Thin Red Line album,

followed by a double platinum for Corey Hart's Fields Of Fire, plus a single platinum

and gold for Hart for the same album; a dou- ble platinum for Raffi's More Singable

Songs; platinum for Liona Boyd's A Guitar For Christmas and Patrick Norman's Quand on est en amour; and gold for Parachute

Club's Small Victories, Alain Morisod's Sweet People, and Edith Butler's Et le party

continue. The year 1986 also saw a further falling

wouldn't be fair to count the LP out yet. There are still an estimated 15 million turn- tables in Canadian homes. However, with

Eagle joins RCA/Ariola Ontario promo team

Ken Bain, National Promotion Manager for RCA/Ariola, has announced the appoint-

ment of Brian Eagle to the label's Ontario Promotion team.

A Montrealer, and fluently bilingual, Eagle comes to RCA/Ariola with a wide and varied knowledge of the record and broadcast

industries. A graduate of the University's of Madrid and Ottawa's Carleton, he spent

much of his Ottawa campus free time as Music Director and Assistant Program Direc-

tor of CKCU-FM. He went on to work for Treble Clef, followed by a stint with

launch the first CD manufacturing facility in Canada, and most recently he was Director of

Marketing and Promotion for Moss Music. His new appointment is effective immediate-

ly.

1986 a banner year for the industry under $300, and a growing availability of CD

product, it's expected that 1987 could see this configuration becoming priority, in spite of it

being a high ticket item. The concensus of opinion from the ma-

jors was that 1986 was the best year most have experienced in their history: In-

dependents fared not too bad, but certainly didn't measure up to what had been expected.

The Canadian independent recording in- dustry is still in trouble from a distribution

standpoint, and their difficulty in getting through to the broadcasters. In spite of these

hardships, the outlook for 1987 is "bright" for the independents and even "brighter" for the majors.

We canvassed executives from both the majors and independent labels, and beginn-

ing this week, we will publish their reflections on the past year and hopes for the new year.

1987 will be a year for Cancon Richard Lyttelton,

President, Chief Operating Officer, Capitol Records -EMI Canada

The year 1986 for Capitol Records -EMI of Canada Limited, was Canadian repertoire.

The paradox is that it is sometimes easier

for an "outsider" to appreciate its true

worth. Capitol's task

for 1987 is not only to further develop its

Canadian artist roster, but to open

the eyes and ears of the larger and more

important international markets. Glass Tiger will be supporting the massive Tina Turner

December certifications led The Canadian Recording Industry Associa- tion (CRIA) reports 32 certifications for the

month of December. These were led by Huey Lewis and The News, whose Chrysalis album, Fore, scored quadruple platinum, represen-

ting the sale of 400.000 units. Certifying for triple platinum status were

Boston (Third Stage), Glass Tiger (The Thin Red Line), and Bon Jovi (Slippery When

Wet). The latter also certified as double platinum.

Double platinum certifications were registered for Corey Hart (Fields Of Fire),

Eurythmics (Sweet Dreams), Boston (Third Stage), Placido Domingo (Perhaps Love),

Raffi (More Singable Songs), and Eurythmics (Revenge), Hart's Fields of Fire was also cer-

tified as platinum and gold, as was Boston's Third Stage.

Single platinum certifications were for Patrick Norman (Quand on est en amour),

Bruce Hornsby And The Range (The Way It Is), Liona Boyd (A Guitar For Christmas), and Bangles (Different Light).

Albums that were certified as gold were Edith Butler (Et le party continue), Andreas

Vollenweider (Down To The Moon), Placido Domingo (Christmas With Placido Domingo), The Fabulous Thunderbirds (Tuff

European tour this spring and then on to a headline tour of Japan - showing that Capitol

means business, and that the company is ag- gressively seeking the world stage which it

believes Canadian talent merits.

1986 was one of our better years Stan Kuhn

WEA Canada Managing Director 1986 looks like it was a banner year for the

Canadian music business. Certainly WEA Canada had one of

better years, our sales were

significantly higher than in the previous

years. While we benefited from the

excellent product provided by our

U.S. labels, we also enjoyed a good year

with our domestic Stan Kulin acts, such as One To One, Idle Eyes, and Honeymoon Suite. Also, lost in the furor over Madonna, Genesis,

Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon, et al, was the development of new acts such as Simply Red,

a -ha, Mike and The Mechanics, Anita Baker, Dream Academy, The Cure, and many more

that achieved gold, platinum, and double platinum status. 1987 should be even better for us, as we

will finally be in a position to supply CD's to the Canadian consumer for the best catalogue

in the business. Hopefully, the long overdue

new copyright act will be enacted and will provide our artists, composers and record

companies some protection from the ravages of home taping, piracy and rental.

My final wish would be to see the federal sales tax eliminated on records so that we are

treated as any other cultural item.

End of the year news ... !!We received news of changes at CapitolIndustries -EMI Inc. just after we publishedour last issue of the year, but the news was soimportant, I've made it priority here. JoeSmith and David Berman have moved fromWEA to Capitol. Joe has been appointedVice -Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,and David comes in as President of CapitolIndustries -EMI Inc.

I told you so ... !!"Our Association represents the 'artist' andthe 'broadcaster', so we are reluctant to takea stand in the matter." This quote came tome in the mail, and it should echo throughoutthe whole industry. It's a message that shouldbe of concern to the members of the"Association", who haven't bothered tolook around to see who they are in bed with.With the current country music crisis inCanada, I guess I could be smug and say "Itold you so" and remind a number of peopleout there about a meeting in the PremiereSuite at the Inn On The Park in Torontowhen I started ACME with the money col-lected from CACMA . . . September of '75wasn't it? The warning then was loud andclear, and perhaps that's why the industry isin the state it is in today. Good luck!!

" . . the prophets of doom, the messengers ofmediocrity, will be overwhelmed by the newgeneration of competent, creative, confidentartisans and by all those of preceding generationswho have already demonstrated their freshness ofmind, their talent and their capacity for inspiredleadership." - Pierre Juneau

This is professionalism ... ??Last Monday morning, while dial turning,which has become a habit with Torontoradio, I punched in CFRB and I had to checkthe dial to see if it was really CFRB. The"holier-than-thou" sports expert, BillStephenson was in a nose -to -nose battle withToronto Star sportswriter John Robertsonand talk show host Andy Barrie. Stephensontook objection to Robertson's "bleedingheart" objections to the canada/Soviethockey brawl. Stephenson had to admit hehadn't even seen the game. I happen to agreewith Stephenson . . . and I saw the game, butto throw a tantrum on -air was not in keepingwith his "profession". I caught quite a fewother stations, and, for the most part, theyhandled the situation quite well.

Now ... I love New York!!More about my trip to NYC over theChristmas break . . . I was impressed by thelarge number of police officers on foot,patrolling the Time Square and midtownarea. Finally, New York got the messageunder Mayor Koch, and I can tell you thatmany of the tourists I talked to felt a lot bet-ter about New York.

Corey Hart and Joan Rivers ... ??When I heard that Corey Hart would be onthe Joan Rivers show . . . and as his show -time got closer . . . I began getting nervous.How would she treat this genuine Canadiansuperstar . . . and how would he come off, ifshe got too personal about his sex life? Afterhe performed Can't Help Falling In Love, hebraced himself for Rivers . . . and he came offvery well, in spite of his fidgeting, which headmitted to. Even Rivers backed off, whenshe saw she was talking to an artist with that"kid next door" demeanour. He has a niceway of referring to himself as Canadian,which made me feel very proud.

Talking Canadian, as we often!!On my recent visit to New York City, I wasinterested in the progress that was being madeon the huge skating rink in Central Park. Thecity's Mayor, Ed Koch, had approvedmillions of dollars, but American engineersapparently couldn't come up with a way tokeep the large surface frozen. DonaldTrump, one of the leaders in U.S. business,had been following the progress . . . or lackof, in the ice -making comedy of errors, sug-gested that Koch contact his neighbours tothe north, and voila . . . Canadian ice -makers(CIMCO of Toronto) were brought in andthe whole project was completed underbudget and five weeks under schedule. So, asI took a swing around the rink, needless tosay, I felt warm inside . . . even if it did costme $4.50 (U.S.).

A first for RPM ... !!Over the years we have been able to display acolourful wall of gold, platinum, and dia-mond awards, but never have we had a goldsingle award. Just before Christmas, A&M'sJ.P. Guilbert and Randy Wells presented uswith a gold single, suitably emblazoned withour logo and the message: "in appreciationof support for Chris deBurgh's Lady In Redachieving gold status in Canada. You made ithappen." . . . Merci!!

An educated guess ... !!How about that Toronto music scribe, whodropped the word MIDEM into one of hiscolumns as if he knew what it was. Someoneshould tell him it's not the film festival. (EC:

--Is that like tunnel vision??)

Speaking of awards ... !!!Capitol came up with a novel and unique wayof showing their appreciation to RPM forassisting in the success of Glass Tiger's TheThin Red Line album. We were presentedwith a beautifully -engraved wood -grainedplaque, displaying the album jacket artwork,with the inscription: "Presented to RPM tocommemorate the multi -platinum Capitolalbum 'The Thin Red Line' - 1986 -The YearOf The Tiger." Very nice.

Just a reminder about MIDEM!If you haven't booked your flight to MIDEMthis year yet . . . it may be time to try and takeadvantage of the better fares for booking ear-ly. (EC: Unless you don't care, because youaren't paying for it anyway!!) As always, Ican recommend Pilar Travel Internationalbecause they look after a lot of people goingto the television and film festivals in Cannesand they know the ropes. That phone numberis 416-960-3800.

Now you need a visa for FranceIf you are going to MIDEM, just a reminderthat you need a visa to go to France, and yourtravel agent can get you the details. It takes24 hours at the Consulate in Toronto, or mailyour information into the French Embassy inOttawa. You require a passport type photo,and the cost is $13.00. You won't be allowedinto France without it.

From CACMA to ACME to CCMA!A little trivia (EC: Sad but true!) when CAC -MA was changed to ACME, one of the firstnames REJECTED by me was CanadianCountry Music Association, because it wasan attempt by Canadians to hang onto thecoattails of Nashville and the Country MusicAssociation. It would have also been a veiledattempt to pass the association off as being abranch of the Nashville CMA, which had in-dicated that it would not be pleased. Thename ACME was chosen because it stood forthe high point of perfection. (EC: The defini-tion for misnomer is "a name or epithetwrongly applied," or "an error in naming aperson, place or thing.") Maybe they madethe right move in changing it.!!

Major coverage given plight of sAs reported in the Dec. 27/86 issue of RPM,Canada's songwriters are mounting a mediablitz to bring attention to the outdatedcopyright act that allows only "2 cents foreach recorded use." It's the hope of severalassociations representing music publishersand songwriters, to have the outdated Section19 of the Copyright Act abolished.

Mel Shaw, a spokesman for the Cana-dian Music Publishers Association (CMPA)has been successful in gaining excellentcoverage of the association's goal in many ofCanada's major dailies, including Toronto'sGlobe and Mail, The Hamilton Spectator,Regina's Leader Post, The Ottawa Citizen,Calgary Herald, and the Winnipeg FreePress, to name just a few.

"These past few weeks have been veryencouraging," says Shaw. "We found thateven some members of the Department ofCommunications (DOC) were not aware ofthe full ramifications of 2 cent royalty."

The Black Music Association Canada(BMAC) through its President DanielCaudeiron has also lent support to the cam-paign to increase the mechanical royalty ratefor composers and publishers.

made it

An educated guess ... !! How about that Toronto music scribe, who

dropped the word MIDEM into one of his columns as if he knew what it was. Someone

should tell him it's not the film festival. (EC: Is that like tunnel vision??)

Speaking of awards ... !!! Capitol came up with a novel and unique way of showing their appreciation to RPM for

assisting in the success of Glass Tiger's The Thin Red Line album. We were presented with a beautifully -engraved wood -grained

plaque, displaying the album jacket artwork, with the inscription: "Presented to RPM to

commemorate the multi -platinum Capitol album 'The Thin Red Line'

- 1986 -The Year Of The Tiger." Very nice.

Just a reminder about MIDEM! If you haven't booked your flight to MIDEM

this year yet . . .

it may be time to try and take advantage of the better fares for booking ear-

ly. (EC: Unless you don't care, because you aren't paying for it anyway!!) As always, I

can recommend Pilar Travel International because they look after a lot of people going

to the television and film festivals in Cannes and they know the ropes. That phone number

is 416-960-3800.

Now you need a visa for France If you are going to MIDEM, just a reminder

that you need a visa to go to France, and your travel agent can get you the details. It takes

24 hours at the Consulate in Toronto, or mail your information into the French Embassy in

Ottawa. You require a passport type photo, and the cost is $13.00. You won't be allowed into France without it.

From CACMA to ACME to CCMA! A little trivia (EC: Sad but true!) when CAC -

MA was changed to ACME, one of the first names REJECTED by me was Canadian

Country Music Association, because it was an attempt by Canadians to hang onto the

coattails of Nashville and the Country Music Association. It would have also been a veiled

attempt to pass the association off as being a branch of the Nashville CMA, which had in- dicated that it would not be pleased. The

name ACME was chosen because it stood for the high point of perfection. (EC: The defini- tion for misnomer is "a name or epithet

wrongly applied," or "an error in naming a person, place or thing.") Maybe they made

the right move in changing it.!!

Music Directors give nod to Cancon's improvement Wayne Webster, Music Director for

Toronto's CHUM -FM reports that during the course of this past year, the quality of

Cancon recordings has improved significant- ly, while the quantity also appears to have in-

creased with much more independent material.

"Overall, the year was very good," said Webster. "I think it was the best year ever.

The quality of Cancon is getting much better and the production is much improved."

He went on to point out that with the Junos this year, "more bands are getting

recognized. We're getting a lot more indepen- dent material. There hasn't been a lot of acts

signed - and some of these small independents are releasing product themselves."

In terms of meeting their Cancon quota, Webster believes that 1986 was the easiest

year. "There were times when it was a case of playing product we didn't want to. There

were times through the year when we added so much Cancon, we had to let up."

Henry Van Den Hoogen, Assistant Music Director for Toronto's CFTR,was also

impressed with the improvement of Cancon

Major coverage given plight of songwriters

As reported in the Dec. 27/86 issue of RPM, Canada's songwriters are mounting a media

blitz to bring attention to the outdated copyright act that allows only "2 cents for

each recorded use." It's the hope of several associations representing music publishers

and songwriters, to have the outdated Section 19 of the Copyright Act abolished.

Mel Shaw, a spokesman for the Cana- dian Music Publishers Association (CMPA) has been successful in gaining excellent

coverage of the association's goal in many of Canada's major dailies, including Toronto's

Globe and Mail, The Hamilton Spectator, Regina's Leader Post, The Ottawa Citizen, Calgary Herald, and the Winnipeg Free

Press, to name just a few. "These past few weeks have been very

encouraging," says Shaw. "We found that even some members of the Department of

Communications (DOC) were not aware of the full ramifications of 2 cent royalty."

The Black Music Association Canada (BMAC) through its President Daniel

Caudeiron has also lent support to the cam- paign to increase the mechanical royalty rate

for composers and publishers. "At a time when Canadian Black Music is on the move," says Caudeiron, "as evidenced by the

superior showing of R&B and soul per-

formers at the 1986 Juno Awards, we feel it is even more important that this obstacle to the

development of our creative spirit be remov- ed," He continues with "Not only for the

ultimate benefit of a new crop of composers and publishers but for the large body of

Canadian talent that is already international- ly renowned. To think that in 1986 the

enlightened country that is Canada should have the lowest royalty rate in the world is a

disgrace." The powerful Toronto Musicians'

Association (Local 149) has also come out in support of the copyright battle. Bobby Her -

riot, President of the Local, points out that "The days of artists (of any description) star- ving in garrets in order to pursue their goal in life, should have vanished long ago." He

continues with "Unfortunately, our present copyright laws in their archaic form con-

tribute directly to this picture being maintain- ed."

Herriot stresses that the share of royalties for music publishers and writers,

"has not kept pace with the advancing price of records and does not afford any en-

couragement to these artists." He concludes with "It costs the same to

feed, clothe and house an artist as it does a bureacrat, and certainly their share of the pie

has improved since 1922; not so the artist."

material. "The songwriting has gotten better," he said. "Production is better, and it

seems that more money is being spent on pro- duction and promotion. There was a genuine

excitement about Glass Tiger. There's much more support behind homegrown talent."

Comparing Cancon product released in past years, Van Den Hoogen believes more time is being spent in the producing and

packaging as well as getting a good overall sound. "I think the attitude towards Cancon

has improved," he continues. "Radio listeners are buying Corey Hart, just like they

would a Robert Palmer." Van Den Hoogen agrees there has been

enough Cancon material to meet their 30 per- cent quota, but noted there were periods

which he described as "dry from a radio standpoint," and suggested that Cancon

releases be issued on an even basis throughout the year, which would overcome

the slow periods. He also believes the amount of Cancon releases during 1986 was up, compared to re-

cent years. "I think the number of releases are in-

creasing again," he says. "I've also got a pile of independent material

- and that's been im-

proving as well." Van Den Hoogen concludes with "There

are a lot of new names out there - and more to play with, which wasn't the case a year or so ago, when we went through a period when

there were just a couple of superstars."

L'Etranger's Cash sets solo course

Andrew Cash, guitarist, vocalist with L'Etranger for the past 5 years, has gone solo

and debuts on the Fringe label with a 4 -song EP entitled Sticks And Stones.

The Toronto -based Music Brokers, who are touting the Cash release describes the EP as Cash's "strongest to date," pointing out

that "everycut is full of rough rhythms, wide- eyed lyrics, and some of the most unforget- table melodies."

Cars. ThiCRTC to streamlinenetworking/syndicationThe CRTC is currently looking into ways ofstreamlining its policies on supervising radioand television networking, radio syndicationand related issues.

"Networked radio and television pro-gramming delivered by satellite offers anumber of potential benefits for radio andtelevision broadcasters by allowing them ac-cess to higher quality and more distinctiveprogramming than could be managed withinlocal station budgets," noted CRTC Chair-man Andre Bureau. He continues with "Italso provides local stations with a variety ofprogramming which otherwise would not beavailable."

Bureau went on to point out that "At thesame time, new technologies also presentsignificant new challenges to the structure ofbroadcasting and to the Commission's cur-rent regulation of network and syndicationactivity, and to the development of new pro-gramming services."

Bureau stressed that the main purpose ofthe review will be "to provide a clearer, morecohesive and equitable regulatory approachand to ensure that Canadian broadcasting re-mains capable of producing varied popularprogramming of high quality."

The Commission is requesting commentson several issues, including the interpretationof what constitutes radio and television net-works, the role of networks, licensing pro-cedures, radio syndication, and new audioservices.

Comments must be submitted by Feb.20, 1987. A public hearing will be held inHull, Quebec on Apr. 13, 1987.

COVER STORY

The Cars' Ben Orr goes solo "just for fun" In the time following The Cars' Heartbreak

City tour and before they re-enter the studio to record their next album (this February),

both Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr have writ- ten, recorded and released solo albums. Orr's

is titled The Lace and although he says he "didn't have a clue" what it would sound like

when finished, it would seem he wrote a hit -his first single

- Stay The Night.

He also says it was his first attempt at writing, not having written any of The Cars'

material, and he was very conscious not to "plagiarize" Ocasek's style. "It was just

meant to be fun," replies Orr, when asked what he expects the album to achieve.

"It was just something else to do. When Elektra asked me to do it, I said 'Sure, I'd

give it a try.' They didn't even know what I was going to be doing. I could have either

done cover songs or have 9 songs that somebody else wrote but I chose to write

them all and take my chances."

CRTC to streamline networking/syndication

The CRTC is currently looking into ways of streamlining its policies on supervising radio

and television networking, radio syndication and related issues.

"Networked radio and television pro- gramming delivered by satellite offers a

number of potential benefits for radio and television broadcasters by allowing them ac-

cess to higher quality and more distinctive programming than could be managed within

local station budgets," noted CRTC Chair- man Andre Bureau. He continues with "It also provides local stations with a variety of

programming which otherwise would not be available." Bureau went on to point out that "At the

same time, new technologies also present significant new challenges to the structure of

broadcasting and to the Commission's cur- rent regulation of network and syndication

activity, and to the development of new pro- gramming services."

Bureau stressed that the main purpose of the review will be "to provide a clearer, more

cohesive and equitable regulatory approach and to ensure that Canadian broadcasting re-

mains capable of producing varied popular programming of high quality."

The Commission is requesting comments on several issues, including the interpretation of what constitutes radio and television net-

works, the role of networks, licensing pro- cedures, radio syndication, and new audio services.

Comments must be submitted by Feb. 20, 1987. A public hearing will be held in

Hull, Quebec on Apr. 13, 1987.

"THE HONEST ANSWER"

After taking, what Orr describes as the label's "hook", he didn't actually begin

recording for another year. "I had personal things I had to catch up on," he explains, "and I had to get into a studio that was user-

friendly, with an engineer friend of mine. We put down the songs and about 90 percent of the working weight is on the master album

now." Orr admits the prospect of recording was

frightening. "I got pretty scared for a while after I said 'yes', because I had never done

anything like this before. It was a large chunk to bite off. That's why it probably took so

long -

just gaining a bit of self-confidence and really just knuckling down," he continues.

"I probably worked harder on this than I've ever worked before in music. I wanted to

make it right, so I took my time." And with the previous achievements of The Cars loom- ing in the back of his mind, he states, "At the

same time not coming off sounding like The Cars. That was a conscious thought. I didn't want any influence like that.

"So, I took that little extra time, con- sciously thinking: 'Well, I don't want this to

sound like The Cars, so I'm going to work my way around that, so it doesn't'." Why not?

"Because The Cars are The Cars and a solo thing is supposed to be a solo thing."

Elaborating, he stresses that it "wasn't really difficult" not sounding like The Cars.

"I didn't have a constant thought of The Cars on my mind. Whatever came out in the

RPM -

January 17, 1987 -

7

private times, when no one else was around to influence me, that's when I got my writing

done. It was totally devoid of any Cars thought."

Although a member of The Cars since 1977, Orr remarks, "it's difficult even trying

to simulate writing like Ric, so it wasn't too difficult. I just didn't want the music to

sound too `Carsy' as it were, and I didn't have any problems with that

. . . after about

a month it went away. I never thought about it again."

Orr also suggests the only person "licensed" to record a solo album sounding

like The Cars is Ocasek and furthers even if he did, "everybody would've slammed it,

saying 'the guy is just rippin' off something that's already been done by somebody else.' That wouldn't have been good for my head

either. It's time to move on." Cars' guitarist Elliot Easton was called

in when Orr decided "some extra work" was needed on the guitar tracks. "I wasn't

satisfied with some of the stuff we'd laid down. Mike Landau is a fine guitar player

but he was there for 2 weeks and did all the songs in 2 weeks. Some things were left out

that shouldn't have been or thought of after the fact and there was no calling him back, so

I called in Elliot." Orr concludes by mentioning he hasn't

given much thought to another solo endeavor. "I don't know where it's going to

take me. I just have to get in there and do it. I probably have a conscious thought that it probably won't be the same - there'll pro-

bably be some female -male relationship trips in there but exactly where it's going or how

it's going to go . . .

I haven't a clue."

With another year behind us I'd like to take this opportunity to update everyone on a few of last year's releases which are carrying

WEA strongly into 1987. It's been a great 1986 and we are looking forward to more of

the same in the coming year. Paul Simon's Graceland is a lot of peo-

ple's pick for Album of the Year. Two singles and incredible media coverage have carried

Paul Simon's Graceland LP is now triple platinum in Canada, much of it due his self - promotional activity. He recently dropped

into Toronto for a press gathering and he is seen above with Linda MacLennan, host of

Canada AM, and Stan Kulin, WEA Canada Managing Director.

of the hottest gift items for this past Christmas. Wilder Penfield from the Toronto

coming tour - mostly in Europe but hopefully at least Toronto will be included in a handful of North American dates.

The Country Division of Warner Bros. gave us 2 new biggies this past year. Storms

Of Life by Randy Travis is well on its way to becoming WEA Canada's first ever platinum

country album. He will be touring Canada in March and has a new album scheduled for April. Meanwhile, Dwight Yoakam's

Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc. is also gold in Canada after 3 hit singles. Like Travis,

Yoakam will tour Canada and release a new album in the spring.

Elektra proved once again that they could break acts with Simply Red, Anita Baker and most recently the Georgia

Satellites. During a recent club date in Toron- to the Satellites displayed serious party poten-

tial before a sold -out crowd. Vancouver and Edmonton will have a chance to see them in a

larger setting in late January as they open for Bob Seger. AOR embraced the Georgia

Satellites almost immediately making Keep Your Hands To Yourself the hit it deserved to

be. The next single will be Battleship Chains. Madonna

- what more can be said about

an artist who just gets bigger with every release. True Blue has surpased 8 times

platinum in Canada and we fully expect to go diamond with this one. No tour plans at the moment. The Pretenders made a big comeback

late in '86 with Get Close and the first single, Don't Get Me Wrong. The second single is
