And while this undoubtedly still happens, the anxious -to -please record dealer Is now faced with a new problem ... how to match a record (and mostly an LP) to a hurried description of that "really great advert I saw on TV'. You know, the one with the cricket bats, the one with all those guys in white suits, the one with all those funny wrestlers In It... . For the phenomenon of the TV -advertised album - be It a compilation of 'Greatest Hits' or the latest album from a group or artist with a single high in the Top Ten - has now become a fully -established marketing policy. As well as a very successful one. In Record Mirror's most recent album chart more than half the albums In the Top 20 had been (and in some cases still are being) TV advertised, In exposure "slots" ranging from seven second flashes of the album sleeve along with a snatch of the current hit right through to (250,000 "concept" 11-;' 'i Gx^$`dQ campaigns lasting over a minute on ''- `. peak -time TV. vv .

Pioneers in the field were specialised "TV -marketing" companies K -Tel, Ronco and Arcade over five years ago - with hard-hitting "instant appeal" ads for compilation albums on familiar themes: the golden years ohrock 'n' roll, non-stop party, disco action and so on. But these companies were marketing organisations - leasing tracks from record companies, investing heavily in TV time and - at the time - reaching a section of the consumer public untouched by normal record company advertising. The leasing fees m accounted for a minute part of the campaign budget, success being based on the sound business W practice (to everyone then except z record companies) of spending a 2 lot to sell even more. o The Instant explosion and immediate sales of K -Tel et al z prompted several major record o companies to think along the same lines Faced with generally declining album sales on the one hand, and an increasing realisation cn that their own back catalogues were as strong as outside - .e],'. . - 2P compilations, Phonogram and EMI tentatively entered the market In late 1975/early 1976 - the former with a Stylistics "Christmas" how compilation, the latter with the JOHN SHEARLAW on TV advertising of albums first major record company TV campaign based on marketing began .... and is likely to. continue research for the 'Beach Boys' 20 Golden Greats'.

OLIVIA NEWTON -JOHN: 'Totally Hot' (EMI 789) EMA

MY STORY is much too sad to be told, but prac- tically ev'rything leaves me totally cold.' So Cole Porter began his 1934 masterpiece 'I Get A Kick Out y Of You' and unfortunately this sad tale applies here. Once uoon a time Olivia NewtonJohn didn't make anyone much money She was part of post-Eurovision Cliff's close coterie who always seemed to be on his half-hour tea -time shows along with old Lab! Slffre and the various incarnations of the ever -faithful 'Shads' - one of whom, John Farrar, appears here In the guise of producer. Well, it seems that nowadays anyone can assume the 'producer -pose' (why, even Simple Jimmy Sham's doln' it) but cousin John Farrar has utilised a strange machine billed on the cover as the "Aphex Aural Exciter".

LIVELY ft. SPRATS, The Skids. They were in London last week, playing support to the wretched Dtcklea, whom they adequately overshadowed, outclassed and blew off stage. Now, they embark on a not inconsiderable tour prior to hauling ass round the studio and starting work on an album before the month chokes Itself out. A Virgin Records handout Insists: "Choose another band to The Skids and you'll get the band you deserve." I never did work that one out .. . So, with a modicum of prior info, the fresh memories of two gigs (a great one at The Marquee. and unsettled one at the Electric Ballroom) and three singles, the writer found himself lurching into r an Interview situation- Which, ás it happens, didn't turn out as bad as I'd reckoned.
