Malcolm Roberts sang “Love is AM” at the Rio de Janeiro Song Festival. And created 25 minutes of pande- monium and hysteria. The kind of thing reserved for soccer players and other national heroes. Not English vocalists. Two months later the record was released in Eng-

Several months ago Lewerke, president of Vault Records, queried Coming European TV sources about airing a series of shows depicting top Amer- ican jazz artists working before club audiences. The response was so posi- tive, Lewerke says, that he hired a Can. IQtli I film crew and began setting up pro- grams. Thus far he has four shows in the can and will be taking them with him to show European TV officials following MIDEM. Each of the shows will have a separate script in English which will be translated into the language of the individual country airing the program. Jazz experts in each European country buying the film will be hired to act as announcers. Lewerke has named Si- mone Ginibre as sales agent for the series in Paris. Euro-Film Corp. is Lewerke’s new firm. “The idea behind the series is to show European viewers a typical jazz club and to catch the excitement of the jazz performer working before an appreciative audience,” Lewerke ex- plains. Lewerke eventually hopes to get the series placed on American tele- vision through syndication. Among the artists filmed on location are pianist Les McCann and his trio; tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims and a Los Angeles rhythm section of drummer Larry Bunker, pianist Roger Kellaway and bassist Chuck Berghofer; blues singer Joe Turner; pianist Hampton Hawes, bassist Leroy Vinnegar, drum- mer Bobby Thompson, saxophonist BABY THEY LOVE YOU — A Gold Disc of his hit “Baby I Love You” is pre- Sonny Criss and trumpeter Harry sented to Andy Kim (center) by Steve Hollis at a recent Paramount promo gath- “Sweets” Edison; drummer Shelly ering.

’ Kapp Records, Founded nf ' With Success, Continues

In That Tradition

Kapp Records was formed in 1953 by Dave Kapp who, at that time, was with Decca Records. The label got off to a great start with recordings of Jane Morgan, and has since become a well- respected name in the industry. Kapp and its subsidiary labels were acquired by MCA in 1968. The label has an outstanding catalog of successful albums including the best- selling series by Roger Williams; the original cast albums of “Man of La Mancha,” “Once Upon a Mattress,” and “Man With a Load of Mischief”; Jack Jones, and a score of other leading artists in great LP successes. The Kapp catalog is filled with un- usual recordings by artists like the Do-Re-Mi Children’s Chorus; ’s “Hello, Dolly”; The Gunter Kallman Chorus; Francoise Jack Loetz, right, executive vice president of Decca Records (USA) and Dick Broderick, left, vice president of MCA Hardy and Lefevre.

NORSK business

EMI Norsk is one year old this month.

EMI’s newest infant was born in the cold winter days of January 1969 in Oslo. By April 1st it had learned to walk and opened for business. And by November it had grown to such a lusty infant that it had to move to a bigger home (pictured left at the house-

warming celebrations are J. G. Stanford, head of EMI’s overseas operations, with EMI Norsk Managing Director John Bush and General Manager Hans Ro).

EMI has a very large family : its worldwide record marketing network comprises manufacturing and distribution centres in 30 different countries (plus licensee arrangements in nearly 20 more). If you’re one of the record people, you need EMI.

EDITORIAL: Plus Dollars

If a certain situation pans out like some coin Trade- sters predict, one of the greatest switcheroos of the industry should occur during the early 1970’s. The trend, now budding, would precisely be a reversal of

the original concept of the coin machine business . . . putting a coin slot on an existing piece of recreational equipment. Now a number of machine dealers are going back to the source and marketing the original non-coin product.

Clearly, the obvious non-coin item that has opened the door to “plus dollars” in equipment sales has been the pool table, sold to the homeowner. Scores of our distributors have been quietly carving out significant profits the past few years by soliciting the public direct- ly on this item. And let’s not forget they also earned a nice piece of change through the sale of billiard supplies to these table buyers. Indications now point to bolstering the home line with a variety of other amusement games and even music machines, all without a coin slot but all familiar equipment to the traditional coin machine distributor.

One of the singular benefits in dealing with the pub- lic has been in matters of financing, or rather the al- most total lack of extended financing. Most table sales are on a C. 0. D. basis with an added charge
