STAR TREK III -THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK

"Star Trek III-The Search For Spock" has Paramount Home Video making chart history once again. For the first time, a feature film and its two sequels appear on the videocassette sales chart simultaneously. Its release also marks the second time Para- mount has released a popular ti- AT LOWER PRICES FOR YOU! tle at the suggested retail price of $29.95 in both VHS and Beta. AND DON'T FORGET HIS ENDS T The title stands at No. 1 this week. Leonard Nimoy trades in his pointed ears for a megaphone as he makes his motion picture di- rectorial debut. William Shatner once again portrays Admiral James T. Kirk, and DeForest Kelley is Dr. "Bones" McCoy. They are joined by the other series regulars that make up the crew of the Starship Enterprise. Since its debut on television in 1966, "Star Trek" has lived long and prospered for nearly 20 years due mainly to its legion of loyal fans and the annual conventions they attend throughout the country. To satiate these fans even further, Paramount has issued the first 10 episodes of the tv series at $14.95. The title's general release was preceded by colorful counter cards, posters and banners. Pre - THE WORLD'S FAVORITE sale order forms were displayed to customers as well, in order to avoid backorders.

Pop superstar Lionel Richie hit the home video sales chart last week with "All Night Long," which now stands at number 8. Released in mid -February by RCA /Columbia Home Video's MusicVision, the title seems on its way to proving that Richie is just as successful on the video screen as he is on stage. Thirty-five minutes in length, "All Night Long" is a collection of some of Richie's biggest hits. Four music videos originally made for his hit album "Can't Slow Down" ( "All Night Long," "Running With The Night," "Hello" and "Penny Lover ") are contained on the cassette.

CABLE GROWTH (Continued from page 26)

sion of the phenomenon that cable is " -a means of increasing the number of programming choices a consumer has. Showtime /The Movie Channel agrees, with a survey conducted by 1 the company concluding that "VCRs and pay television subscrip- tions enhance the value of one another rather than substitute for one another." The Showtime /TMC study was conducted via phone survey by Sta- tistical Research Inc. and via a specially selected sample of pay cable and VCR households by Home Test- ing Institute. Pay cable penetration is far higher among VCR owners than among non- owners, the study claims, with 35% of owners hooked up against 21% of non -owners. VCR owners also tend to take on more services than do most subscribers, the survey says, paying for 1.7 pay cable networks against an average of 1.4. Attitudes on subscribing to pay cable in the future were also more positive among VCR owners than among non -owners, with 28% counting themselves likely to hook up in the future, compared to 16% of non- owners. That home taping is one of the biggest reasons for the positive pay cable behavior of VCR owners was illustrated by some other Show - time /TMC figures. According to the study, pay cable subscribers taped about 1.5 movies a week, while non - subscribers taped 1.1. According to the study, the average household taped one movies per week off of pay cable. The number of non -movie programs taped per week was equal for pay and non -pay subscribers, according to the study, at 2.4. But pay subscribers taped .7 non- movies a week off of their cable hookup. In terms of whether consumers prefer to see their movies on pay cable or rent them, the survey says ( "An Officer and a planned to Gentleman ") and MALCOLM that "12% rent cassettes #6001 McDOWELL'A Clockwork rather than subscriber to pay, but Orange') sta11 n this taut and 20% leaned toward pay and another suspenseful drama about an 21% planned to do both."

After ten years on the club circuit, Los Lobos are what's right about American rock & roll: they're fun, smart and hard -working, serious about song-writing and performing. It's good to see them on the sidewalk, good to hear them on the radio, good to find them in record stores. This band is breaking, and it feels great.
