Open Letter to Radio Stations, Rack Jobbers and One-Stops:

This is to certify that: I am the President of Lieberman Enterprises, one of the five

largest rack jobbers in the United States.

I am the immediate past president of NARM (National Association

of Recording Merchandisers, Inc.).

I am in no way connected with 20th Century Records or Billy Thunderkloud, and I am writing this of my own accord.

I am an ex-promotion man (you can take the boy out of promotion, but You can't take the promotion out of the boy).

While I can't recognize every hit record I hear, when I believe

strongly in a record, it generally happens.

At this time of year in particular, our industry (radio stations included) is looking for a record with a happy summer sound that appeals to all age grouPs, such as Tony Orlando and Dawn's "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree", or Ray Stevens' "Everything

• is Beautiful", to name just two.

In my opinion, "What Time of Day" by Billy Thunderkloud and the Chieftbnes (20th Century #TC 2181) is such a record as in the last two weeks, our One-Stop has sold over 1,000 copies to Juke-box operations; retail stores in the secondary markets are beginning

to call for it--selling both pop and country.

Radio stations can't miss by programming "What Time of Day". It is the kind of happy song that people like to both hear and sing, and,

in my opinion, has the potential to be #1:I Sincerely,

LIEBERMAN ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED
