ATLANTIC STARR BRILUANCE TheTalk About Atlantic Starr

The most exciting respon- sibility of a person in my position is the development of new talent. The first music played for me one week before I joined A&M was selected cuts from the soon to be released Radiant album by Atlantic Starr. One listen

was all it took to convince

me that I was about to inherit a“soon to be”superstar force in music. The collaboration of the band’s versatile talents and famed Commodore producer, James Carmichael, produced the group’s #1

single “When Love Calls’! . the first step on the journey toward stardom. Approxi- mately one year after my musical introduction to

Atlantic Starr, I am totally convinced of their success and superstar promise. After hearing their latest album,

BRILLIANCE , the title of the album is self explanatory. We at A&M are gearing up for what will be one of the Their last album was RADIANT, it gave us the hit singles “When most talked about releases of Love Calls” and “Send For Me” the year. Their newest album is BRILLIANCE unto itself. One listen and

you will know it is the brightest star in our musical horizon. Jheryl Busby Vice President Includes the single “CIRCLES” R&B Promotion AM 2392

Produced by James Anthony Carmichael We at A&M look for Atlantic Management: Earl Cole for Cole Classic Management Starr to become the premiere black act in the country.

Their last album. Radiant , was a significant step in that direction. W'e have no doubt that BRILLIANCE will put them over the top.

Hanson’s A Big Winner In Game Plan Promotion

CHICAGO — Game Plan, Inc. of Addison,

111. recently offered a unique three-way program to factory distributors whereby with each game sold the distributor was awarded credits towards premiums, a trip to Rome and operator credits. This promotion was utilized by Ray Hibarger, president of Hanson Dis- tributing Co., Inc. (Bloomington, Minn.) as a form of “incentive bonus” for all company employees.

The program worked very well, according to Hibarger, as Hanson sold more than 200 Game Plan games to increase company sales 20% over last year. Coin machine operators who purchased Game Plan games during the STERN DISTRIBUTORS MEETING — Stem Electronics recently Frank Ash, Active Amusement, Philadelphia, Penn.; Steph period of the promotion had the opportunity A hosted a meeting for its factory distributors at Chicago’s Hyatt Kauffman, president of Stern’s amusement machines divisic to redeem their credits to obtain their choice Regency O’Hare.
