TRUST MELTDOWN II Highlights the Trends and Offers Solutions on How to When Nocontrolmechanismsareinplace Edited by Roland Schatz and Liv Watson Trust Meltdown II Everybody in the financial sector expected 2009 to be rough; the head- lines following the Lehman collapse were frank. But they expected the media would calm down in 2010 as better results proved that the finance sector was no longer loosing money. Now, in 2011 the picture is clear: Yes, the financial results presented in 2010 were much better than expected. But yet, the headlines remained the same. From a reputational standpoint no recovery has happened as the media on Wall Street and Main Street keep asking the same ques- tions: What have you learned from the crisis? And what was implemented in 2009 and 2010 to make sure another Meltdown will not happen? The first TRUST MELTDOWN report made it clear that the banking industry had not caught a mere cold, so much as it had been hit by a fundamental crisis that raised questions regarding its license to operate. Making money out of money was no longer a convincing story for the opinion-leading media. The bottom line in 2009: the media reputation of the financial sector had gone south, so much so, that it was ranked worse than the tobacco industry. Did 2010 help it to improve? No, the media reputation actually worsened Frank Brettschneider even while the pure economic figures improved. Obviously, Wall Street‘s Christian Dreyer Anikar M.

In the span of five years, the balance of power in the comic book field had changed dramatically. Industry leader Dell had fallen out of favor thanks to a 1962 split with client Western Publications that resulted in the latter producing comics for themselves—much of it licensed properties—as the widely-respected Gold Key Comics.

  • Beatles EP's in The
    Four or Six Songs In a Cardboard Cover RCA Victor introduced the 45 RPM single in 1949. As 45 RPM records emerged as an alternative to 78's, the speed immediately spawned several format incarnations. Boxed sets of singles were common throughout the industry (as an alternative to the 78 RPM "album"). One notion that did not escape immediate attention was the possibility that at the slower speed of 45 RPM, the new records were not only smaller but could also hold more than one song per side. Four‐song, 45 RPM records were introduced by RCA in August, 1952, as "Extended Play" records or EP's. Several EP's would be collected into extended play albums. Traditionally, an EP held two previously‐released singles by an artist or four songs from a Broadway show or film soundtrack (an abridgement of the 78 RPM album). Capitol boarded the EP train in early 1953. As the trend continued toward records that held more material, the long‐playing "LP's" introduced by Columbia Records in 1948 also gained popularity. Seven inch "long play" records were also released, essentially as experiments. "33 singles" did not fare well on the singles market, but their counterparts, "compact 33's," were popular enough in juke boxes to warrant releases well into the 1960's. These compacts usually contained 6 songs instead of the 4 found in an extended‐play release. At the beginning, an EP cover was often a reproduction of the 78 album cover. In the early years, Capitol frequently used the same cover for its EP's, 45 RPM boxed sets, 10" LP's, and later even a few 12" LP's.
