It’s getting difficult for the German A&R man to get foreign hits to record because top stars in every country in the world are starting to record their hits in German. International names such as Helen Shapiro, Henri Salvador, Chubby Checker, Paul Anka, Connie Francis, James Darren, Sammy Davis Jr., Nancy Sinatra, Neil Sedaka Linda Scott and many others are readying their wares for the market here. Some of these artists will meet with success here and others will fail. Most of the top stars are planning their production with lyrics written by top German lyric writers; some with German A&R men. Connie Francis is already an established star here. Billy Vaughn picked two German standards to record with the help of Teldec Records, his distributor here. Connie Francis, Connie Stevens, Henri Salvador, Helen Shapiro, and many of the stars will come to Germany to record, or an A&R man will be flown to their country to record them. Others feel that it’s easy to get a hit here. Just record a top song from their country with a well known artist from their coun- try, and success is guaranteed. With the present day method of recording the music on a separate recording track and in many cases using a vocal group without words for background, the way is left open for an inexpensive try at this market. Just take the artist in the studio with someone who understands German to help with the pronounciation. There’s only one think wrong. This method has, until now, never been successful here. If a young German boy or girl were found, and a record company, let’s say, in the U.S. felt that this person had a chance for success on their market would they go to Berlitz school for an A&R man who spoke English? Either the artist would be flown to the U.S. or an A&R man would be on hand to supervise the choice of material and CCRA, GHANA—Ghanaian fairgoers examine 45-rpm records made by RCA the recording.

Our comments on this page two weeks ago pointed to , Editorial optimistic signs indicating that perhaps “1962 could shape up as a good year.” Continuing along these lines more solid indications of possible prosperity in ’62 have since come about. Adding further support to the good business indicators for this coming year are the new car

Will You Be Add these bright prospects to rising retail sales, pre- dictions of 8% increases in total output, and optimistic ^ forecasts from individuals in industry, and we indeed For It? have what could amount to a high-flying year. But is the ^ Ready individual operator ready for this predicted prosperity?

Granted, 1961 wasn’t the best year in the industry’s history. But if the experts are correct, and production,^ consumption and high wages continue to climb, the op- erator should be prepared for the increased business.

Generally speaking, the first thing perhaps many op- erators should do is to make use of contracts wherever possible. In this way, the prime source of income, thcc location, will still be his when and if business picks up as it is expected to. Mail order requests to Cash Box still in- dicate that too many operators haven’t availed themselves of the benefits of the location contract, as written by American Arbitration legal counsel. There’s nothing like insurance especially these days. A contract will give you this security measure.

Is the equipment on location the best equipment you can offer ? An inventory check on all locations might turn up some surprises. Perhaps a re-shuffling of machines will liven up the route and place a spark in some loca- tions. The condition of games, such as pool tables, will determine the play appeal. An operator friend of ours^ with a sizable route out west told us that the moment a hot pool table location reported any kind of damage to the playing field, a new slate top was rushed to the tavern and the old one recovered to be ready for the next serv- ice call. The same rule should hold true with other equip- ment. The slightest defect can cause an almost sudden* stop in what once was a regularly played amusement ma- chine.

Vending operators would do well to keep a weather eye on all merchandise machines, making sure that a sudden change in traffic hasn’t brought about the necessity for more frequent service checks.

Locations change, people change, and what once was a good machine in a good stop placed in the best position in that stop may all be changed now. Routine checks of locations, equipment and of course, collections, can sometimes sharpen up a route. The introduction of new phonographs and new amusement machines during the past month offers operators the latest in music and amusement. A check at distributor showrooms will re- sult in a new outlook on these machines as money-makers if you haven’t already given them the attention they de-

serve. J

As we’ve said before, every operator knows his omti route and his locations better than the next guy. But there is always room for improvement. A boost in the nation’s economy means more money in the pocket of the coin machine patron. Better to be safe than sorry. Be prepared for increased business.
