When Philadelphia ARB showed KYW the radio station spends a great deal of money using outside advertis- ing to bring new fistenership to the station, and the radio program- ming doesn't respond by letting these new people know who they have, then someone has wasted a lot of money. Don't forget to take credit for being what the listening audience prefers hearing. It might be as simple as the fact that they don't remember your name, call letters, dial position or type of programming that causes the failure. If there's a way of identifying the station that you can devise that doesn't sound like your reading the information off of a 3x5 card, a way to deliver the message of where you work without sounding bored about it, this will go a long way in making it easier for those who know what their listening habits are to tolerate it. For the new listener, they'll understand who they have, so that if advertisers ask, or rating services survey them, you'll get the credit you deserve. You can imagine a live audience leaving a show because they didn't like it, but to have a radio crowd love the show without your station ever hearing the applause puts your radio stationin the position of being a UFO.

In fact,I think it's a breakthrough for a quartet to play music like this. I've never heard any four -piece band sound like ARS Gets Platinum this before." But Weather Report's music has never really sounded like anything else. Shorter and Zawinul seem primarily concerned with the imme- diacy of their work, often using words like "theater" and "story" to describe it. The music manages to be both elusive and enduring at the same time; as in a painting, there's lots of color and frequent detail, but it's often up to your imagination to decide just what it's about. With this band, one can never be sure what's coming next- and that's part of their appeal. If Shorter and Zawinul feel that this is their best band yet, those of us who haven't seen them play yet are in for quite a treat. AN UNCONVENTION-In their heart of hearts, everybody knows conventions are as much celebratory as practical. But Mushroom's Shelly Siegel, being a bit more candid than most, flatly told guests at last week's first convention that their weekend in Scottsdale was in- deed a "thank you," not just a product showcase.

Prelude claims it was unaware of Savarese's contractual agreements with the record's producer, which specified not only the appearance of credits but the size type they were to be printed in, until the albumwas already being pressed, so the first run includes only a mix credit line on the back cover.
