After a slow start, '83 really seems to be taking off in New York, with a spate of newcomers making their moves and generating a good deal of excitement throughout the boroughs.

As a Brooklyn native, this writer can attest to rock’s contin ued health as the ta lisman of teenagers in the borough's working class communities — video games aren’t even a close second.

Records is “re-releasing" "Call Of The West” by Vl^all Of Voodoo as part of a continuing campaign to break the West Coast group’s latest LP. Based on a glance at the Cash Box Pop Albums chart, the effort is paying off, as the ARTIST CLIP LABEL album, originally released back in August, finally cracked the Top 200 last week and is Toto Africa Columbia now at #172. “We’ve issued a new marketing budget, dug in our heels and started all Vandenberg Burning Heart Atco over again,” Barbara Bolan, national director of sales at I.R.S., who feels that says Psychedelic Furs Love My Way Columbia doubling the 50,000 units currently out is not beyond the realm of possibility. Dexys Midnight Runners Come On Eileen Mercury “Sometimes you can feel when a record grows legs, walks, and takes on a life of its Culture Club Do You Really Want Virgin/Epic own,” she continues. “Even though A&M was ready to shelve “Call Of The West” long To Hurt Me

An order Joe Jackson Breaking Us In Two A&M form containing these titles has been sent to accounts in order to give them the oppor- Total Coello 1 Eat Cannibals Chrysalis tunity to find great titles that they may have overlooked. In a similar vein, the Wall of INXS The One Thing Atco Voodoo title has been included in the February RCA release booklet sent to the Triumph A World Of Fantasy RCA branches as a way of giving them another shot at breaking the album. “The only thing Daryl Hall & John Oates Family Man/One On One RCA Fixx Skys we’re doing that’s different from treating the album as a brand new release is that we’re Red MCA Jam The Bitterest Pill PolyGram not holding up any orders as they come in,” notes Bolan. Since the last I.R.S. LP Thompson Twins Lies Arista release — The English Beat’s “Special Beat Service” — in October, the label’s promotional efforts have been exclusively with the Beat and Voodoo, though Bolan adds that the re-stocking program’s order form will also serve to alert retailers to the forthcoming releases. Additional promotions currently under way for Voodoo include LIGHT 1-2 PLAYS PER DAY an in-store appearance tour and the re-servicing of Top 40 and AOR stations with both

seven-inch and 1 2-inch versions of the “Mexican Radio” single. In-stores have already taken place at the Sound Warehouse Belt Line Rd. outlet in Dallas, where 300 fans ARTIST CLIP LABEL bought 60 records, and Austin's Waterloo Records, where 200 fans bought 42 discs and 35 tickets for the band's show that evening at the Club Foot. The group was also set Fabulous Thunder Birds How Do You Spell Love Chrysalis to appear last weekend at Turtles' new warehouse outlet (Cash Box, Feb. 12), where Paul Collins Beat Kids Are The Same Columbia Atlanta's Video Music Channel cable music station was to shoot footage. The “Mexican Tina Turner Ball Of Confusion Virgin Radio" re-service coincides with increased airplay following AOR consultant Lee Buck Dharma Born To Rock Epic Catholic Girls Boys Can Cry MCA Abrams' mention of the tune at his Superstars convention in Florida last month (Cash Heaven In The Beginning Brighton Box, Feb. 5). “We'd been building airplay all along, but that's what really broke it open,” Blancmange Living On The Ceiling Island confirmed Bolan, counting 20 adds last week, mostly from Abrams-consulted AOR Motley Crue Live Wire Elektra stations. Hays!

According to the label's director of marketing, Jon Monday, the idea for the disc U2 New Judas Priest Hellion/Electric Eye Columbia came about prior to the company's recent distribution pact with CBS. “We wanted a Kate Bush Suspended/Graffa EMI America practical vehicle for getting new artists out to as many people as possible.” says Mon- Kenny Loggins Heartllght Columbia day, noting the cost effectiveness of packaging cuts by several artists together in one Wall Of Voodoo Mexican Radio I.R.S. album instead of a mass servicing of full LPs from each act. “As it turns out, the sam- The Look You Can’t Sit Down Plastic pler also gears in the CBS sales and promotion people who might be familiar with Pat Flirts Jukebox 0 Benatar but not with Michael Schenker or Ultravox.” Albums and cassettes have gone out in bulk to the branches and to the key accounts on the CBS mailing list; Monday says that additional requests for the sampler should be made to CBS. Incidentally, CBS is using a “40000” numbering series on all new Chrysalis marking, preceded by ADDS the number “4.” Catalog product and the just-released Ultravox LP "Quartet” carry a sticker covering the spine and the bar code with the new number and code. ARTIST NARM NOTE — That National Assn, of Recording Merchandisers (NARM) Bankcard CLIP LABEL Program more than doubled its sales volume in 1982. Figures show that last year's Phil Collins I Don’t Care Anymore Atlantic $16,627,426 in total sales were 118% from the $7,621,514 in 1981. These amounts up Schon& Hammer Lies Columbia represent 793,852 transactions in 1982, an 87% increase over 423,542 in 1981. Bryan Adams Cuts Like A Knife A&M Average ticket size for the year also jumped. The $20.95 last year is 23% better than Ultravox Reap The Wild Wind Chrysalis $17.09 from 1981. NARM estimates that participants in the Bankcard Program saved Quick Rhythm Of The Jungle Epic approximately $5,000 each last year thanks to the program's 2%% discount rate for Naked Eye Always Something There EMI America processing Visa and Master Card sales.

Osborne added that quarter drops in test markets were nearly 30% higher than in con- trol areas where the ads didn’t run. Fie also pointed out that, while Dig Dug test ads hit 60 to 90 days after the game penetrated the market, the Xevious campaign will begin after distributors have had six to seven weeks of earning experience behind the machine. One distributor who attended the customer day presentation, Jon Brady of Charlotte, N.C. -based Brady Distribufing Company, had _^nothing but praise for the forthcoming

Xevious blitz. "It’s still got to be a good game,” commented Brady, “but the ads help. We were in one of the Dig Dug ad markets and

it definitely improved business. No question.” The gathering of distribs additionally ser- ved as a “coming out celebration” for Jerry Marcus, who recently joined Atari as ex- ecutive vice president of sales for the coin machine division after serving for many years as president of Bally Midwest Distributing Company. Describing his new post, Marcus

said, "It’s a different type of life, even just in the seven or eight days I’ve been here. It’s a slower paced life in some respects; 300 customers can come through in one day at a distributorship, everything’s a current problem and everybody wants an answer now

about very small things. Here it’s a different type of atmosphere, there’s more thinking go- ing on. Not that distributors aren’t thinking, but they rarely think more than three months down the road a lot of the time. There’s no long-range planning. The lead times are enor- mous here." As far as his future contact with distributors

is concerned. Marcus said he will rely on more than just weekly reports to keep informed about the status of Atari product. “I plan to go out quite a bit and talk to a lot of dis- tributors," he said. "I’ve made a lot of operator friends over the years as well and I’m sure they'll be in touch. If you lose touch, you lose sight of the problems in the field.” And Atari obviously had that exact senti-

ment in mind when it invited customers up to the house for a visit. On tours of the research centers, engineering labs and production plants, distributors were able to see first-hand how coin-op games are developed, the marriage of artistry and technology in vid amusement design and the company’s com- BIRTH OF A GAME — Coin-op distributors and members of the company’s wood shop, cutting a board into a side panel fora game mitment to top-quality merchandise that’s trade press had the opportunity last week to check out first-hand cabinet; a finished upright of the firm 's latest entry into the market- satisfying for the player.
