www.americanradiohistory.com Till: CASE OF THE AIRTIGIITALIIII. A BILLBOAIII) `CAMPUS ATTRACTIONS" MINUTEE MYSTER1 The instant Inspector Montaigne entered W'''F the Deja -Vu Fraternity House, he had the uneasy feeling that he had been there before. "Queer," he said half aloud as Turk Bronkowitz, the 250 lb. (pronounced: "pound ") All -American Í? linebacker minced past. It was touch and go for a while there, as a team of the nation's foremost

surgeons worked .. feverishly to remove an official ,NCAA football from the inspector's face.

As far as the police were concerned, it was an , open and shut case. Montaigne had obviously tried to blow his brains out by forcing the air of ff :) a regulation size football up his nose. After spending six months on a strict diet of kelp and Gatorade, Inspector Montaigne returned to the scene of the crime, where he was immediately arrested by police, who reasoned that a criminal always returns to the scene of the crime. "Where were you on the night in question ?" Sergeant O'Hara asked, fondling a rubber hose. "What were you doing out after dark ?" the hose asked, fondling Sergeant O'Hara. The inspector explained that he was on his way to a campus concert and wasn't anywhere near the scene of his attempted suicide. As the minutes dragged into hours, the police hammered away at the inspector's story, , but to no avail. Inspector Montaigne had established an airtight alibi. 6, How did Inspector Montaigne know his alibi about going to a campus concert would be airtight? .SOLU'T'ION: Elementary. By simply reading Billboard's Campus Attractions, Inspector Montaigne was able to keep up on every performer, manager and booking agent, who know the value of the most complete campus entertainment guide available anywhere. Watch for it. Billboard's Campus Attractions. Issue date: March 24, 1973

26 JANUARY 6, 1973, BILLBOARD

www.americanradiohistory.com In his first major appearance at Doug Weston's TROUBADOUR, Sam Neely (Capitol) proved to be the year's most exciting young talent ... Neely's music is blinding in its sensitivity, beauty and imagery ... His music will do the same for Texas that the Taylor brothers' music has done for the Carolinas." "Every now - Spence Berland, and again a new RECORD WORLD performer makes his August 26, 1972 major club debut and displays a quality of a future superstar. Such was the case of Capitol Records find, Sam Neely, in his initial performance at the Los Angeles TROUBADOUR'... it is obvious he will swiftly build into an important, record, concert, and club act ..." - Don Ovens, BILLBOARD, Sept. 23, 1972

When Mercury Record Productions, Inc. became Phonogram, Inc. a short while ago, it was more than just a name change. Sure, were still at 35 E. Wacker Drive in Chicago. Sure, we still market Mercury, Philips and Vertigo labels along with a string of first rate distributed labels. And sure, we've got the same organization of people to serve you. But now were part of the Phonogram International family (boasting over 40 companies), an entertainment network headquartered in Baarn, Holland and active in over 100 countries. And when it comes to establishing impact for our artists, that makes a world of difference.
