10 KORVETTE'S SALESFORMULA: Creative Sell, Deep Stock,Price Right

WHEN DAVE ROTHFELD went to work as record buyer for E. J. Korvette six years ago, the firm was still largely a New York entity in the growing phe- nomenon known as discount merchandis- ing. There were but nine stores, the com- pany's stock could be bought at a modest price and, according to Rothfeld, "I just felt that 'E. J.' was missing out on a good merchandising deal through a great dearth of classical product. By 1963, a revolution had occurred. The company claimed the title as the number one merchandiser of records in the U. S. and backed up its claim with figures: a $20,000,000 gross sale of records during the year. From nine stores, the chain had grown to 32 in mid -1964. From January until May of 1964, 10 new outlets opened. Seven more were scheduled before the end of the year. Currently, there are 14 stores in the greater New York area (four new ones opened this year), with the balance AN EXAMPLE ofKorvette'sstrongmerchandising efforts: The firm recently gave over four windows stretching out to such points as Camden, inits New York store to the Columbia "Manhattan Tower" LP withRobert Goulet.

In addi- tion to Newport, Wein has produced jazz festivals in many other cities, and today produces festivals and concerts both in this country and abroad. He also produces jazz albums (currently for United Artists Records) and plays of lot of jazz piano with a combo consisting of Ruby Braff, Bud Freeman, and occasionally Pee Wee Russell. Wein says he's been in full swing in setting up for Newport since April. But actually he's been working on Newport since the close of the 1963 concerts, which happened to be among the most successful ever held there-both jazz and folk. Wein hired many of the performers for this year's festivals at the conclusion of last year's shows. And he has been engaging others all during the year, usually with a casual "I'll see you at Newport, okay?" Since Wein has the same loyalty toward Newport as an old Blue toward Yale he doesn't expect anyone to turn down New- port. The few who do, he says, play it again another season. Wein has some very pointed viewson running concerts, whether they be jazz, or folk or blues, or anything else in the entertainment world. He says that the most important aspect of puttingon a show is to stay within the budget. "After you've figured out just whatyou can spend and make your profit," hesays, "stay in your budget. Ifyou can't stay within your budget-then don'tput on your show. No extra act that takesyou over budget will draw enough additional customers to make a profit foryou. At least that's been my experience,"he says. He also has some interesting viewson the difference in folk and jazzaudiences. "Even though they are thesame age group, they don't understand each other.They are few jazz fans who are folk fans and vice versa. The reason for thisis the dif- ference in the music.

From thefreshnessand energywith which the illustrious conductor and his celebrated orchestra approached the pro- gram at hand, few in the hall could have guessed that between the time they fin- ished their Wednesday night concert and now, they had completely finished record- ing the lengthy Verdi "Requiem Mass" for Columbia Records - a mammoth work which requires stamina and great care in achieving a successful performance, par- ticularly for recording. But then, few people are very aware of just what sort of life a conductor and his orchestra lead in these times. Indeed, they have changed a great deal from the past. MUSIC MAKING is an expensive busi- ness, and Ormandy explained that "one The soloists:"a fresh confrontationfor the conductor."(London, Tucker,Forrester, Amara). of the biggest items in the budget is re- hearsal time.

"Nicolai Gedda," the reporter said. Ormandy gave the serious minded Tucker a questioning look, and impishly said, "You know, I don't think Gedda could have done bet- ter." The control room was shattered by laughter-the loudest coming, of course, from Tucker himself. This combination of reverence and ir- reverence is an Ormandy hallmark. He loves his musicians, and they him. He is always down to business, yet is never so to any degree of affectation. There is always room and time for a quick story or a joke orapersonalcontact. And Ormandy thrives on them all. Beth Parrish, an extremely attractive young lady who has been director of pub- lic relations for the orchestra since the beginning of this season, nodded in the directionof Ormandy, and exclaimed: "You really have no idea whata person he is. No two days are alike. He broke the "Ormandy's rapport with thesoloistsisparticularly engrossing."(Here with producer Thomas Frost soloists up this morning when theycame (foreground) and left to right, Amara, Tucker, Forrester, London). in re -telling a marvelously funny tale

The 80 -plus body of Westmin- ster Choir singers were in theirplace and the maestro had few words tosay to the soloists-mostly answering questionsas to tempi and dynamics. He cautionedthe chorus as to the attack, and precisionof the sixteenth notes; glanced at thestrings and noted he wanted strongentrances and crescendo from the 'cellos. Healerted the oboes that they might be betterheard, and they began. Everything went smoothly for thefirst few minutes. Then therewas a noise in the studio, and Ormandy stoppedto wait for a cue from the engineers.They ques- tioned the stopping, and saidthey heard nothing-possibly it wasn't enoughto get on the tape, and Ormandy,unruffled, smiled at the ensemble of forces,and said -well, maybe we'll do betternext time. And they did. Miss Amara asked if she mightnot be a bit sharp-and the maestrosuggested a playback-to confirm that shewas not. THE PROCEEDINGS wentaccording to a master pre -planned schedule-withno confusion or conflict. Ormandy'srapport with the soloists was particularlyengross- ing. Since the choir andorchestra had performed the work togetherbefore (with ample rehearsal) itwas a delight to see the conductor leaning towardsthe soloists, milking every note with themwith a degree of body English thatwould chagrin Balanchine and his balleticcharges. He breathes with them, hesoars with them, he shares their trepidationswhen the high, sustained passages arrive. IN SHORT, Ormandyparticipates to the fullest in everything hedoes. Technical problems unique to recordingcan easily be the cause of greataggravation; but for the most part themaestro remains unperturbed. He is a veteranat recording (nearly 150 albums in theColumbia cata- log) and he holds threegold discs for albums selling over $1million.("The Lord's Prayer, Vol.1,""The Messiah" and "The Glorious Soundof Christmas.") And the orchestra's catalogbrings in ex- cess of $1 million eachyear, according to Columbia. Said Ormandy: "recordingsare mar- velous things. After all, it'sthe only way we have of letting futuregenerations know what we are doinghere and now. And technically, theyhave come along so far, I wonder where ...

OR 3-1225 22 Windfall for BeatlesPublishers Gil Music Swells Royalties& Performances with Lennon -McCartneyTunes

WHEN THE BEATLES EXPLODED on the American scene early this year, their success meant soaring record sales to such labels as Capitol, VeeJay, Swan, Capitol of Canada, and MGM Records. But rec- ord firms (and The Beatles and the Ed Sullivan show) were not the only ones who profited from Beatlemania. Another group were the U.S. music publishers who happened to publish the songs the Liverpool lads had recorded. Many publishers shared in The Beatles windfall, some through hard work and some because the recordings came in "over the transom," to use an old music publishing expression. The publisher who worked the hardest and who deservedly profited the most, was Gil Music, the George, Irwin and Lee Pincus BMI pub- lishing affiliate. GIL MUSIC PUBLISHED, in the Unit- edStates and Canada,the following Beatles' tunes, all written by John Len- non and Paul McCartney: "She Loves You," "I Saw Her Standing There," "I George Pincus (right) and Irwin run the firm in America.
