"We are emotional and passionate about our product. If we make a mistake, we over -compensate so we can get away with it. People will accept almost anything if it's positioned properly." Everything on Z -100 is carefully positioned for maximum impact. Take the classic line, "Hot Rockin' Flame Throwin' Z- 100." Shannon calls it "phonetic magic." The power of certain words and phrases captures the imagination -even though they may be virtually meaningless. If Shannon doesn't break all the rules, he seems to hit most of them. So why does the Zoo work? Shan- non: "Just the concept of the Zoo will get you numbers, because it's new, it sounds different, and it's goofy."

"She's the top," Smith told a press conference, in reference to Fonda's incredible video success via Karl -Lorimar. Smith has had a release on Continental Video for several months. No details were announced, with Smith, along with Continental principals Jack and Jim Siverman, de- ferring to a response from Fonda. Smith spoke of at least a $5,000 winner pot, which he said would go to the exercise stars' respective chari- ties. A former star defensive lineback- er in the NFL, Smith said, "I personally admire her."

VSDA'S FIRST USE of traditional voting machines of the same type employed in political elections capped a furor surrounding the trade group's contest for director- ships.

ON THE BEAM (Continued from page 35) ing space is only about 350 square feet, Rose notes that product is displayed openly by using empty jewel boxes, rather than sealed clamshell goods. That approach, he says, elim- inates theft problems, permits stocking of as little as one piece per title, and encourages consumers to handle the box and booklet. Meanwhile, in Manhattan, the small but feisty Vinyl Mania chain, which already operates three stores on Carmine St. in the West Village, has added the Vinyl Mania Com- pact Disc Center there. Open about two weeks, the store is the brain- child of Steve Schechter and Char- lie Grappone, arising from Schech- ter's enthusiasm for the format since buying a CD player last Janu- ary. Right now, the store's inventory offers about 1,000 titles, but Schechter plans to increase that ar- ray through both hits and catalog to eventually reflect virtually all available titles. A major element in product merchandising is the outlet's emphasis on in-store play, with "Listen Before You Buy" used as a tag line. At present, a single CD player handles all requests, but plans call for a rack system with multiple CD units and headphones that would enable several customers to preview purchases at the same time. Given Vinyl Mania's local success in tapping the hot dance market, it's not surprising that Schechter is ex- cited about the prospect of 12 -inch single titles on CD via PolyGram's upcoming "Maxi- Single" line.

BY KIP KIRBY WASHINGTON Newspaper advertising is the source for a whop- ping 61% of all unplanned purchases. This statistic -and more - buttressed a VSDA convention presentation by Pat Thavenot, vice president of retail for the New York -based Newspaper Advertising Bureau. Thavenot addressed VSDA regis- trants at the Sheraton Washington Hotel in a session called "Newspa- per Advertising: How To Create, How To Schedule, How To Evalu- ate." Her fast -paced talk mixed figures, techniques, strategies and budgets as she showed video dealers why print advertising can be their single most effective medium of publicity. Thavenot endorsed the daily newspaper as the best outlet. "It's a selected medium," she explained. "It doesn't arrive unannounced. People make time to read it. It offers the perfect format for sales motivation, because people read ads before they shop." Quoting research that shows 70% of all U.S. homes will have VCRs by 1995-and that 57% of survey respondents would rather wait for a movie on tv than go to a theatre to see it- Thavenot underscored vid- MONO eo's wide potential in the consumer market. Thavenot clarified critical components in preparing newspaper advertising, showing slides of effective (and not-so- effective) ads. She cited print ads as the best way to "talk to your regular customers, your competitor's customers and your new customers."

102 BILLBOARD SEPTEMBER 14, 1985 www.americanradiohistory.com THE NEW MUSIC SEMINAR and THE BLACK MUSIC ASSOCIATION Salute LIVE AID, USA for AFRICA, BAND AID and all the other artists and industry people who gave so selflessly on behalf of famine relief. Your efforts have rekindled the flames of social consciousness the world over.

In the same spirit, we must turn our attention to another area of major concern: SOUTH AFRICA'S BRUTAL APARTHEID SYSTEM In South Africa, skin color determines every facet of human life and death. Blacks comprise 72% of the population but cannot vote. 87% of the land is reserved for whites only; since 1960, close to 4 million blacks have been forcibly removed from these "white" areas. Blacks must carry passes wherever they go and are subject to police search at any time. Police are permitted to detain people without charge and to hold them incommunicado indefinitely. Political detainees are frequently tortured. The press and the arts are censored. When Stevie Wonder dedicated his Oscar to imprisoned Black leader Nelson Mandela, the South African government banned his music.

Meanwhile, the international music industry remains an active force in South Africa, directly or indirectly supporting apartheid. WE CAN NO LONGER CARRY ON "BUSINESS AS USUAL" WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
