You won’IJiave to lock-up a PIK-PAK in any case (usually consumers see the spine of

Liberty Stereo Tape’s PIK-PAK eliminates the “behind

a salesman to un-lock that case.

Cash Box — May 31, 1969 Just about every good music station in the country is taking Tony’s advice these days. They’re playing “Play It Again, Sam” again and again. It’s Tony. It’s a great single and it’s in Woody Allen’s Broadway smash of the same name. All of which adds up to a pretty convincing argument for taking Tony’s advice. So play it again, Sam or Fred or Ron or Steve or whatever your name is.

Cash Box — May 31, 1969 67 . . TOP HITS OF 1969

A COMPILATION OF THE YEAR’S BIGGEST HITS TO DATE

Because Cash Box is continually asked to supply a list of the year's leading hits to A&R men, record produ- cers and radio stations, etc.. Cash Box offers a continuing feature that lists the year's Top 50 titles as of the date the feature appears. The feature is published in the last issue of each month and is compiled from the Cash Box Top 100 Sales Chart. Point system operates as following: For each week a song is #1 on the Top 100 it receives 135 points. Each #2 record is awarded 124 points. No. 3 gets 123. No. 4 gets 122. No. 5 gets 121. From No. 6 thru No. 10 songs get 115 to 111 points respectively. No. 11 song gets 90 points and so on down the line till the No. 50 song which gets 51 points. Only the top fifty titles of any given week are in- cluded in the survey. Survey begins with the first issue in January.

English ‘underground’ group currently making a lot of international noise is Led Zeppelin. Four talented musicians in their own right Jimmy Page (guitar); John Paul Jones (bass/organ); John Bonham (drums) and Robert Plant (vocal) joined forces five months ago and made an immediate impact. They toured America earlier this year where their album “Led Zeppelin” is issued on Atlantic. They are now on their second Stateside tour playing San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, Detroit, Minneapolis and Baltimore culminating in a concert at New York’s Filmore East May 29/31.

TOKYO — “Charge more — Earn More” is the urgent counsel being given to Japanese coin machine oper- ators and location owners by SEGA Enterprises president David Rosen. Writing in a widely-circulated newslet- ter the SEGA chief executive stressed the necessity of “raising prices to raise income,” and indicated that the problems faced by operators in Japan were the same as Oiose “now being confronted and solved by operators around the world.” According to Ros- en: “There are four main categories of reasons why operators must now reas- sess their pricing structure: (1) World-wide economic changes linked to inflation, (2) Pricing strategy changes, (3) Mass psychology and changes in the public’s leisure at- titudes, and (4) Industry-wide tech- nical and conceptual changes. “The first important category cov- ers the rapidly rising cost of doing business in nearly every advanced country of the world.
