Blockbuster releases at sales- inducing $39.95 and $29.95 list prices have been greeted with such consumer enthusiasm that virtually every manufacturer has debuted or intends to debut a major promo- tionally priced line. Flagging videocassette prices have also caused many dealers to re- evaluate the video market. Record merchants unwilling to stock video- cassettes because of low profits and the paperwork entailed in rental are now stocking low- priced lines, since many carry suggested retail prices comparable to sales -oriented video- disks. Even traditional mass mer- chants are adding prerecorded titles for the first time. Mail -order giant Sears will be among the innovators, featuring the hit $29.95 "Strawberry Shortcake In Big Apple City" cas- sette in its upcoming Christmas cata- í log. "Apparently, our pricing experi- ments are working," says Paramount sales vice president Tim Clott. "The move is bringing new retailers into the field as they begin to see the mar- ket is more a traditional sales busi- ness than a strange and often profit- less rental market." Clott adds, "As far as we're concerned, promotional prices are now a regular part of our home video marketing program." To illustrate the company's suc- cess, he cites recent sales statistics on Paramount's top three low -price blockbusters. "Between 'Star Trek Il,' 'An Officer And A Gentleman' and 'Airplane Il' we've moved in ex- cess of 300,000 units," says Clott. "Up to this point we've been more than willing to share our numbers with the industry to show that pro- motional pricing isn't a gimmick." he adds. "Unfortunately, our corn- petition has not been as open, so we won't he giving out numbers for the foreseeable future." Clott admits he may go hack on his word when he assembles the fi- nal pre -order figures on what is ex- pected to be the studio's next block- buster release. "48 Hrs." Last summer's hit is scheduled to appear on dealers' shelves later this month at $39.95. "We are certainly selling a lot more and making a lot more with low- priced releases," adds Clott. "But that's not to say all titles will sell well at promotional prices. The vast majority of releases don't gain any real momentum from lower tags. In fact, we'd probably make less charging a lower price, since most releasesc are only bought in ones and twos as rental commodi- ties."

Electronic distribution of video and computer games direct to retail stores is possible with the Romox Programming Terminal which al- lows consumers to trade in games for new hits. The unit will be leased to stores beginning in September.

As to the life expectancy for half-speed, direct -to -disk and other high ticket products, however, estimates vary. "The market's resolved itself back to what it was before the recent boom," states Herb Belkin, presi- dent of Mobile Fidelty Sound Lab. He speaks for most audiophile firms when he portrays the late '70s ex- Confessions pansion for premium LPs and cas- settes as an "aberration" in a market still highly specialized in nature.

Details, however, were not available at presstime. The apparent need for high -qual- ity and high- powered speakers is what seems to have prompted the in- creased participation of specialty speaker makers with expertise in home audio to get involved in autosound. Acoustic Research is showing its first two models. ESS is making its long- awaited debut with the introduction of a six -by -nine- inch model with a list price of $159. Infinity is adding four models: a three -way system listing for $179, a three -way six- and -a -half -inch model listing for $139, a six- and -a- half -inch two -way listing for $99. and a four -inch two -way listing for $75. Among the other specialty speaker makers responding to per - cieved opportunities in the car audio business are Pyle with four new models, Altec Lansing with one, Magnum with five, Becker with three, Ultimate Sound with four and MTX with five. Speakers with increased power handling ability are also giving rise to improved amplifiers and equal- izer /boosters. In the knock -your- socks -off category, Audiomobile is exploring new ground with the in- troduction of a new amplifier, the MDX 340. that carries a price tag of $2,900. Looking considerably more budget -minded by comparison are two amplifiers from Kenwood: one rated at 35 watts per channel and listing for $199, and a 75- watt -per- channel unit listing for $299. Also in the sane category are two new mod- els from Visonik. Listing at $125 is a 20- watt -per -channel Visonik amp, and while no list price is available for Visonik's second entry. a seven - band equalizer /amplifier, it does have the distinction of being equipped with two input jacks for "Walkman" -type headphones. Also exhibiting at the show are a number of other major autosound suppliers. Sanyo. in a departure

Further illustrating the company's non -conformist mar- keting approach is the decision to pull rather than rerelease catalog items at sales- inducing prices. The company intends to drop more than 70 titles from its current roster for l anticipated rerelease in 1985. "At that time," says Walsh, "the VCR population will be bigger and more receptive to the programs." However, the company is not to- tally ignoring promotionally priced lines. CBS /Fox will continue offer- ing its "Collector's Series" of classic movies, similar to MCA's "Reel Deal" product, at $49.98. MGM /UA Home Video has taken a page from CBS /Fox's market- ing book, yet toned it down enough to make dealers want to read it. Ac- cording to company president Mickey Hyman, MGM /UA also gauges its cassette prices according to the individual title, but the guide- lines are more in line with today's trends. Children's titles are generally moved at $29.95. Music lists be- tween $39.95 and $49.95. while fea- tures, which remain primarily rental items, are given individual- usually high- sticker prices. "I really think most majors are go- ing to price releases this way," says Hyman. "After all, unless you have that rare title that has wide collect- able appeal, you're better off staying away from the lower price. I'm sure we'll make as much money on `The Secret Of NIMH' at $79.95 as at $39.95, even though we may have moved more copies at the lower price." w Seconding Hyman's feeling is z Thorn EMI with its release of "First Blood."

The reason? "If you Fox, its easy to see they have many titles, for very similar reasons. those films in "retirement" until Jan- uary, 1985, did the industry sit up and take notice? Yes, but only because of the sheer number of films CBS /Fox was put- ting back in the can, not because of the moratorium itself. Faced with the soaring cost of maintaining large inventories of slow- moving or eso- teric films, a number of home video houses say they have been recycling movies in and out of the prerecorded videocassette market for years. According to Larry Hilford, CBS/ Fox Video president, the earlier rush to bring as much product to the home video market as possible, as quickly as possible has practically depleted the libraries of many of the major studios. He estimates that within two years, most of Holly- wood's film inventory will be sitting out on dealer shelves. "The number of new releases will decline, of course. And the new releases that are announced will come from ongoing productions." He notes also that the current market is too geared to pushing only blockbuster films. Dealers, Hilford says, are more attuned to "moving tonnage" than to investing the sales effort required to move older, more specialized titles. By removing these kinds of titles from inventory and reinserting them into the market at a 1.,..e.. future date when retailers will be P,.l.,.. able to service them adequately, the company feels each title's selling life will be extended. In coming months, CBS /Fox will delete additional titles from the cata- log, for rerelease at later dates. Walt Disney is also retiring titles from its catalogs, "prompted by the need to keep our library compact and fresh -to give our titles a sense of immediacy," says Richard Fried, marketing manager of home video for Walt Disney Telecommuni- cations. "We're not interested in re- leasing thousands of titles into the marketplace. Just as our movies are rereleased into the theatrical market every seven years or so, we can rere- lease our home video product to capture a new audience. Today's baby will be our home video cus- tomer a few years from now." Disney deletes titles from its cata- log on the basis of sales figures. "When a title needs to be promoted, sometimes we can stop selling it and generate better appeal when we put it back," Fried notes. Family Home Entertainment, which distributes films for several major film studios, reports that a number of the studios it handles are putting titles on moratorium. MGM /UA has been doing it, and this is nothing new, reports a spokes- man for the company: "It's done to restructure prices and to create more sales." Paramount Home Video's vice o@IJ president of sales, Tim Clott, says GiclQlc' N that his company has been putting titles on moratorium for some time, "prompted by the need to flush out dealer inventories." For example, Paramount pulled "Airplane!," "Grease" and "Star Trek" from the market Jan. 1 and returned them to the catalog 90 days later for a new RCA COLUMBIA PICTURES HOME VIDEO, 2901 WEST ALAMEDA AVENUE, BURBANK, CALIFORNIA 91505 price: $29.95. e AR'woRK AND DE sin.: '983 RCA CCtUM.3A 04( TURFS HOME VIDEO All RIGHTS RESERVED Last July, Paramount pulled 50 ti- tles off the market and changed the prices by $5.
