EVERYONE AT PLATINUM RECORDS IS AND THESE ARE THE FIRST GUESTS TO ARRIVE:
November 28, 1981 CASH BOX DAVE STEWART and BARBARA GASKIN It's My Party • PR-4 Already a #1 U.K. hit and a top-selling import here in the U.S. as a result of ITS OUR P new rock club and radio play, this pro- gressive pop cover of Leslie Gore's hit is so delightfully eccentric that it shouldn't fail to hit as a domestic release. A synthesizer tour de force, it's unconventional but melodic.
A December 12, 1981 BILLBOARD DAVE STEWART and BARBARA GASKIN It's My Party • PR-4 R Lesley Gore's No. 1 record in 1963 gets a 1980's workout on this remake that has already been a huge hit in England and sustained airplay here as an import. Stewart and Gaskin retain some of the song's innocence while at the same T time add a contemporary flair. December 5, 1981 RECORD WORLD DAVE STEWART and BARBARA GASKIN It's My Party • PR-4 Y Replacing Lesley Gore's innocent helplessness is a slickly arranged elec- tronic update of the #1 hit from '63. Pop radio won't be able to resist this oddly affecting debut.
November 21, 1981 BILLBOARD E.J. RICE WiJ] You Be Coming Back PR-2 A former member of Harold Melvin's Bluenotes. Rice delivers a sprightly midtempo tune that's filled with some catchy hooks. Female harmonies effec- tively supplement Rice's vocal.
November 28, 1981 BILLBOARD E.J. RICE Let Me Love You (One More Tirne) • PR-2 The former member of Harold Melvin's Bluenotes renders a pretty love ballad, enhanced by a delicate arrangement and Rice's soulful vocal which gains momentum midway through.
December 11, 1981 BLACK RADIO EXCLUSIVE E.J. RICE Let Me Love You (One More Time) PR-2 The newly-formed Platinum label has a big future in this powerful young vocalist and this strong ballad. Demos: Expanded young adults.
December 12, 1981 CASH BOX E.J. RICE Will You Be Coming Back PR-2 Uptempo, brassy R&B, in the mold of the early 70s Philly International sound of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, The O'lays, et. al. The string swept soul sound is perfect for Rice's vocal dynamics and offers an alternative, as well as a contrast, to the heavier funk excursions on B/C radio presently.
October 31, 1981 BILLBOARD HEATHER Sincerely PR-1 This charming new thrush who goes by first name only, turns in a sterling rendition of this gem which was No. 1 record for the McGuire Sisters in 1955, Heather has a multi-octave range which she puts to maximum use here.
December 12. 1981 CASH BOX HEATHER Sincerely • PR-1 Newcomer Heather takes this McGuire Sisters classic, gives it her own special, but still true treatment and turns it into an ap- pealing 1981 release that will be as comfortable on a country turntable as a pop or A/C. Programmers should take note and give this a listen. A promising country debut for the brand new Platinum label.
December 12, 1981 RECORD WORLD HEATHER Sincere]/ • PR-1 This smooth-voiced singer offers a pretty cover of a classic pop ballad, produced with a sound open to more than one format.
There's a real world behind the glamorous world of rock 'n' roll. Journey stopped a pre-concert sound check for it.
CBS Record's Tony Martel I and Fantasy Studios' Roy Segal took time out to be a part of it. And only a group of unfortunate kids had anything to gain.
What made it happen was the 250th Ampex Goiden Reei Award. The Golden Reel goes to the per- formers and studios who achieye RIAA- certified goid for albums mastered on Ampex professional audio tape. Part of the award is a thousand dollar donation to any charity the performers choose. it's a choice no one takes lightly. Escape is Journey's fifth Golden Reel album. And they chose the TJ. Martell Leukemia Foundation to receiye the donation. Together with other artists and studios, the/ye directed a quarter of a million dollars in Golden Reel contributions to charities in many fields. Health. The enyir- onment. Needy children. The arts. We salute Fantasy Studios and Journey along with all of the exceptional recording professionals who'ye earned the Golden Reel Award.

Don Roze, the head Indianapolis Chef at Boston’s Eat Records, has proposed that specialty labels might be able to combat this by banding together in what he terms an “Independent Label Distribution Scheme” (ILDS).

Cash Box/December 26. 1981 I- SPOTLIGHT NASHVILLE A AM. s the country music capital of the world, Nashville has long been known as a major recording center. But less publicized is the fact that, over the years, Music City has “opened up the gates to all types of music, as well as film and video," according to Society of Professional .^udio Recording Studios (SPARS) president Chris Stone. Today Nashville studios consistently cater to a wide variety of artists and musical genres — including pop, rock, gospel, R&B and classical — as well as ad agencies and film production firms. The high level of professional expertise and services offered has helped Nashville attain prominence not only on a national, but international level in the field of recording. That standard of excellence can be seen this year in the fact that two of the first three albums to garner 3M’s prestigious Scotty Award, the Oak Ridge Boys’ “Greatest Hits” and the Charlie Daniels Band’s “Full Moon,” were recorded in a Nashville studio. Woodland Sound. The Scotty, honoring not only the musical act but the entire creative and technical team responsible for the recording, is significant in that it is judged by a national panel of experts and peers in the studio and recording industries. Glenn Snoddy, president of Woodland and SPARS regional vice president, points out that studios in Nashville have been able to progress and remain com- petitive with those in New York and Los Angeles by com- bining the same pragmatism that characterizes the acute business sense of the city's thriving music scene. “Studios here have kept up, pretty well, with the state-of- the-art,” says Snoddy. “There have also been astute judgements made, though, to insure that we haven't priced ourselves out of the market. To put it simply, we’ve tried to be realistic about the current state of the business without skimping on services." Diversity has also been a key to the studio community's success. “Look at Bullet Recording,” states SPARS' Stone. “Nashville didn't have a shooting stage other than the Grand Ole Opry and the TV news stations until studios like Bullet sprung up.” The result has been that Nashville studios, from the smallest 8-track rooms to the largest 24-track facilities and mastering houses, have not only been able to weather the lagging economy but, to a great extent, progress in spite of it. Studio groups such as SPARS recognize % 9 i Nashville as a major recording force — the organization kicked off its three-city educational and informational “road show” series there. In less than one year of representation in the city, four studios and one mastering facility have become SPARS members, in turn. Nashville, as SPARS’ Stone summed up, “is not just known for country music anymore."

Nashville, after all, didn’t earn the moniker “Music City” for nothing. Nashville’s first studio was opened shortly SONY after World War II by three WSM engineers — Aaron Shelton, Carl Jenkins and George Reynolds. They called their studio Castle Recording Co., a name they adopted from WSM’s favored slogan, “Air Castle of the South.” However, Castle was not a part of WSM, although its first location was actually within the WSM studio in the National Life aiEBRATES and Casualty Building on 7th and Union. In fact, WSM executives frowned upon their engineers’ involvement in the outside venture. But that did not stop the industrious men who saw the need for a recording studio in 1 Nashville, which was, by that time, staking its claim as the capital of country music. THEHNAL By the early-’50s, it was evident that recording was big business in Nashville, with a number of studios opening. One of those was Owen and Harold Bradley’s Bradley Film and Recording Studio, which, after a couple of location changes, became the legendary Quonset Hut on 16th Ave. in 1955. Also, in late Victor its STEP 1954, RCA announced plans to build a studio in Nashville, becoming the first major record company to make such a move. The Nashville recording industry was young, ambitious and ripe for new challenges. In the beginning, that attitude accounted for much of the country’s flirtation with the burgeoning industry. Today, however, it is more than the attitude — Nashville studios TOWRDS are among the best in the world. “State of the art” is a term commonly used to describe what is available in Nashville, whether talking about the newly opened Bullet audio/video complex (see separate story) or any one of the strictly analog studios in Nashville and the surrounding area. SETTING THIS ‘State Of The Art’ Every year brings new technological ad- vances to the recording industry, and every year the Nashville studios keep the pace by continually updating and adding to their own equipment. In fact, in the spring of 1982, Nashville will have the Sony 24-track digital LITTLE recorder, becoming only the second city in the United States to boast such an advanced piece of equipment. The recorder, which has 28 tracks of infor- mation on a one-half-inch tape (24 digital audio tracks; two analog audio tracks; a track dedicated to SMPTE time code and a track for automated mix-down information), will be WHEELOF available for projects any where in the world through Digital Services, a Houston-based company that will soon have offices in Nashville, according to its owner John Moran. In fact, Moran was in town supervis- ing a session at Creative Workshop, owned by Buzz Cason, that utilized Sony’s new digital IN audio processor. artist PROGRESS The was Gary Dunham, a gospel singer who records for NewPax Records.

If you have to go somewhere and stay for three nights a week or two weeks to do a production, there’s not a more pleasant place in the world to come than Nashville. “I think, too, that the style of working in Nashville is very, very good, because while it is fairly relaxed, it is very, very efficient”, he ad- ded. The Bullet Recording complex, a $2.5 million venture, is the only studio currently in operation that offers both state-of-the-art audio and video capabilities under one roof. Plaskitt is convinced that Bullet will be an asset to the image of Nashville as a video capital. “I would hazard a guess that 98% of videos have been where they’ve done the audio first and then lip-synched it to the video,” he says. “Usually, (it’s obvious that they’re) lip- synching again. It’s not very impressive. “What we’re offering the artist is the ability to do it simultaneously. We did a Joe English thing here; we did a six-camera shoot, 48-track audio, live audience, and switched it live to one one-inch VTR. In effect, the client walked out the door with a finished, synched audio/video tape. It couldn’t have been done anywhere else except at a facility that’s built like this, and I’m not aware of a facility that is. We had to use every single piece of equipment we had in the place to pull it off.
