PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE PENICILLIN: Billy Idol, late of Genera- tion X, has goaded Chrysalis Records into rush -releasing his new EP, "Scrape It Off the Pavement," recorded only weeks ago in New York, where Idol currently makes his home. During a whirlwind promotional visit to the coast (promotional visits are always whirlwind; don't ask us why), Idol recalled the first time his mum and pop attended one of his gigs. "I think they were a bit shocked by it all," said Idol. "You could see it in their eyes. It was nice in a way, though, 'cause after all those years they began to realize what they produced. I mean, they actually came up with someone who's a person, someone who may not do what they say but who does what he wants and does it well. But at the gig, there were all these people puking up next to them, spitting and everything, jumping up and down having a good time. Later, my mum said it was 'very nice, dear,' but I could tell she thought it was really weird. She's a Blondie fan, anyway." According to Billy, the only time his parents were really worried was when he kept "coming home with various diseases. And my mother didn't understand why there were always a million girls hanging around."

Titled "Dreamtime," the record was produced by Verlaine and Bob Clifford and features several of the musicians who worked with Verlaine during and after his days with Television: Fred Smith, bass; J.D. Daugherty, drums; and Bruce Brody, keyboards. Verlaine told New York, N.Y. that he has a hard time describing the new album, because he's "listened to it so much." He did suggest that we pay attention to the guitar solos- "there's a lot of them." Indeed, a brief listening to the record revealed that it is full of guitar, much of it similar to Verlaine's earlier work with Television.

NIGHTCLUBBING: The month of August is traditionally a slow one for album releases, but in New York, the jazz capital of the world, no time of year is ever entirely slow as far as live performances go. In recent weeks, for example, this columnist was treated to exemplary performances by two of the most inventive pianist -composer -arranger -bandleaders on the contemporary scene, Carla Bley and Eddie Palmieri. Bley's four -night stand at Seventh Avenue South was, she reportedly told friends, a "rehearsal" for her upcoming west coast tour and live album, but you never could have told that by listening: her ten -piece band sounded tight, well -rehearsed, and absolutely, heartbreakingly gorgeous on a set of mostly new charts. Much of the outright raucousness of Bley's recent concerts was missing (although not, thankfully, all of it; the set I caught closed with a truly rough-hewn rendition of "Wervin'," from the "Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports" album Bley wrote and arranged), but the lushness and lyricism that has always been a part of Bley's music was more in evidence than ever. Nobody voices horns quite like she does, and nobody writes charts that wear their European heritage quite so Trumpeter/composer/music educator Donald Byrd and his backing group 125th Street, proudly while still remaining indisputably, undeniably jazz.

Byrd; and Mel Fuhrman, east coast general manager. If the inclusion of Eddie Palmieri's name in a jazz column strikes anyone as being unusual, that person must not be familiar with the body of Palmieri's work. No other Latin bandleader has so consistently and effectively integrated jazz concepts and approaches into his work (not since the golden days when Machito recorded with Charlie Parker, at any rate).

Stern doesn't abide by rock videos, however; he'd rather hold his own drawings of rock stars in performance up to the camera while their records are playing. WAPE, Jacksonville's listeners fill their mornings with the irreverent, outra- geous and often completely tasteless repartee of "The Grease Man" (actual name withheld for fear of violent retribution), who growled "I'd love it! Bring on the cameras. I want them to see the bare microphones, the minimal equipment, I'd like them to see what produces award -winning shrieking." The one com- promise that Uncle Greasy would be willing to make to be on camera is changing his pants more often. On a more serious note, many of the morning jocks polled felt that being on camera might destroy what WLS AM and FM's Larry Lujack calls the "theatre of the mind" effect. "Showing what's happening in pictures destroys much of the magic of radio," said Lujack. WIOQ, Philadelphia's Harvey surmises that the creation of illusions with words might be the very reason that air personalities often "look really weird when they talk. They jump around, they have twitches, their faces pull into incredible contortions. I think disc jockeys have these quirks because their energies are directed into the images that words conjure up. It all goes there, but sometimes you have a little extra energy, and it comes squirting out of your face." Roger Barkley of the zany morning team, Lohman and Barkley at KFI, Los Angeles, said that he and his partner Al have investigated the possibility of simulcasting their show on cable television. "I think that a big part of the charm of that k'nd of thing at that hour of the morning would be to look the way you would look not being on camera. I wouldn't want to dress up for TV." Lohman and Barkley, who play about eight records per hour, say they have figured out a novel visual accompaniment to the music, but for now, it's a secret they won't divulge.

His career has been marked by label shifts (he has NEW YORK-Chicago has a longare both on the Record World Black recorded previously for seven other labels), fine songs (his "She's All I Got" was tradition of quality rhythm & bluesOriented Charts. a number -one country song for Johnny Paycheck), and a series of wonderfully music.

A look at Record World's black music charts over the past two months showsCarl Carlton in Detroit female vocalists faring much better than their male counterparts. Debra Laws, Evelyn King, Teena Marie, Stacy Lattisaw, Cheryl Lynn, the Pointer Sisters, Taana Gardner, Grace Jones and Chaka Kahn have all scored significant single and album success this summer, but with the exception of Rick James and Frankie Smith, few male solo acts have done as well. Male voices have been represented more in group situations (the Commodores, Brothers Johnson, Cameo, Atlantic Starr). Duets have done well. There is "Endless Love" featuring Diana Ross and Lionel Richie, "Two Hearts" with Stephanie Mills and Teddy Pendergrass, "Can't We Fall In Love Again" by "Broadway" Phyllis Hyman and Michael Henderson, and the most unusual vocal combination of the year, Richard "Dimples" Fields and Betty Wright on "She's Got Papers on Me." Though the latter is not available as a single, Wright's scalding rap has made it everybody's favorite song and propelled Fields' debut album into the black oriented top ten. Of course, the question on everyone's mind is, will there be a sequel? - and if there is, whose album will it be on, Wright's next or Fields' next? SHORT STUFF: LeBaron Taylor, CBS Records' divisional affairs vice president, was elected president of the National Association of Market Developers at its recent convention in Philadelphia.

AmericanRadioHistory.Com Back;" Renee has a nice bluesy catch in her voice. Two new "dance" records: NH Record VVorld "Let's Get Crackin"' by Shock (Fantasy) and "The Dip" by the Keith Diamond Band (Millennium) both seem to leave the steps up to you; both are good electronic funk, with radio and novelty appeal. REAPPEARANCES: by artists and records. Amii Stewart, the voice of 1979's "Knock On Wood," has a new single on Handshake. "Why'd You Have To Be So Sexy" (5:20), for Stewart, is real lowdown material, geared to the U.S. market: she's kittenishly attractive and pure of tone, sounding very good. The flip is the European single, a Narada Michael Walden production of "Where Did Our Love Go," (4:26), done as an electronic reggae stomp. Debbie Harry's Disco File "Backfired" (Chrysalis, promo) is receiving wide club play, of course; notice how everything in the production is balanced on top of the bass, and how sharp By BRIAN CHIN Harry's sense of rhythm has become. (It's rumored that she has mixed an even longer version.) The Strikers' "Inch By Inch" has been remixed by Prelude's WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND: It's by now obvious to every- Francois K. for a Prelude promo 12 -inch; as was true of "Body Music," clarity is one that there's more interest in club music -disco, R&B and rock -than at any greatly improved, and on this cut, lots of unexpectedly pretty tracks are pulled time in at least two years. We hear noises from most major companies that they up, especially at the conclusion. The instrumental flip is sequenced in the hope they'll be able to delve into the specialist market without upsetting it as opposite way, with the pretty stuff up front. Hamilton Bohannon's well -loved they had in 1979, and I'd say, for the most part, we have generally better taste, "Let's Start the Dance," from 1978, has been pulled from the vault and remixed and, for sure, a better sense of how to gauge our successes in the marketplace, at on Phase II disco disc. Now titled, "Let's Start II Dance Again," the track is street level. The new profusion of music makes for a hurried Disco File nowa- longer by a half (7:38), and augmented with new synthesizer and vocal material, days, but I assure one and all that I'm not slighting any records: anything that a rap by Dr. Perri Johnson. Mixer Jonathan Fearing duplicates the ambience of a appears in this space is rated at least "highly recommended." large room in this version and "works" the bottom with two sudden drop -out Our personal favorites this week indicate the variety of music available lately: breaks. The Stylistics' "What's Your Name" is available now in a longer version old and new artists, productions from America, Europe and the Caribbean. on "Closer Than Close" (TSOP), a fine album that reunites them with producer/ Gladys Knight and the Pips' new album, "Touch" (Columbia), overwhelms on arranger Thom Bell; "What's Your Name" runs out in a longer instrumental the first listen. It's their second with writer/producers Nick Ashford and Valerie segment, and deserves a full remix job. Patti Austin's "Do You Love Me" Simpson, and freer, more open than last year's "About Love." The two prime (Qwest) has been pressed on a promo disco disc in a 5:30 long mix by engineer dance cuts were referred to Pavillion's John Luongo for final mixes, and they Bruce Swedien and Warners' Craig Kostich; it, too, runs out on a long instru- show up with sparkle and snap, especially "I Will Fight" (4:10), another of A/S's mental break. The Bobbettes' "Love Rhythm," raved about here last time, is ingenious lyrical motifs, sung heartily to an electro-gospel beat -one big up, reissued on Radio this week with an eight -minute mix by Richie Rivera. The festive, militant and tender. "Reach High" (4:25) also injects an inspirational sound is extraordinarily clean, and I can't hear enough of that hot lead singer. message with party -time energy. Central Line's "Walking Into Sunshine" (Mercury/U.K.) was sent to us by Phonogram's London office and even serviced Jazz Beat (Continued frompage 22) to at least one major pool here in New York. We've tried not to go overboard on The keyboardist's current Columbia single, "Everybody's Broke," featuring British imports, but "Sunshine" is a perfect summer sound that manages a Gavin Christopher on vocals, is hard-core funk, with nary a hint of jazz, and his notably fresh, unobtrusive use of synthesizer in the rhythm section, and a light, forthcoming album is said to be in the same vein. But Hancock has also recorded Doobie-ish pop/rock vocal sound. Find it if you can (and catch Vince Aletti's an album in Japan with the all-star quartet he recently toured with (Ron Carter British soul roundup in the current Village Voice). Kelly Marie's album, "Feels on bass, Tony Williams on drums, Wynton Marsalis on trumpet), and that Like I'm In Love" (Coast to Coast), is named, of course, after the inexhaustiblealbum, which will probably also be released in the U.S. at some point, is title hit, which has been playing almost since its initial 1979 U.K. release.

Guttadaro for this release, Speaking of fusion (were we?), James "Blood" Ulmer's first album for Columbia with a rounder, poppier sound augmented by new rhythm and sweetening is called "Free Lancing," and advance reports say it captures the guitarist's tracks. Best are "Fill Me With Your Love" (6:15), a great song wrapped in distinctive mix of deep funk, free jazz, and a bunch of other stuff beautifully. dramatic strings; "Do You Like It Like That" (7:15), which revisits the Latin/ Miami bass groove of "Nice and Slow;" and "Loving Just for Fun" (7:01), Kelly with bass -man vocal backups. Altogether charming. Capricorn's second single, "Pow Pow Pow" (Emergency), sounds like another left -field R&B radio hit: paced downtempo a bit, it's quite a distance from the colder Simonetti/Meo Disco File Top 40 productions of last year.

The management of rental inventories is also creating problems, and there's aKelly Marie at the Copa tremendous glut of rented tapes out there in the marketplace. What we hope to encourage by lowering prices is the creation of private rental libraries. We realize that consumers will always be trading and lending tapes, and that's fine; we just want to take the rental burden off the shoulders of the retailers and push the practice down to the consumer level, much in the way that people have always traded and loaned their record collections. RW: The various videodisc formats have been greeted with a good deal of skepticism from several quarters, and one prominent retailer has used the analogy of audio records versus audio cassettes. The audio cassette, a far more versatile form of software having recording as well as playback capability, was introduced well after the LP had already been established in the market. But if the cassette had been introduced first, the retailer suggested, the LP would never have become a successful product. Do you agree? Blay: Of course it's a question of time and place, and maybe the cassette might have achieved a greater preeminence than it has, but I don't subscribe to the theory that one format will stop the other from taking hold. It may take longer than expected for discs to have an impact, and the disc will have to be a better

AmericanRadioHistory.Com WEA Intl. To Distribute Marley LP Japan

By CARMEN ITOH

AP" IN TOKYO-Toshiba EMI is well-known for its good collection of popular female artists, including Blondie, Kim Carnes, Sheena Easton and Pat Benatar. Among these names, only Benatar is not doing so well. Taking her talent and charm into consideration, the fact that her last two albums only sold a total of 60,000 copies poses a real problem for Toshiba EMI. Therefore, with the Aug. 1 release of her newest album, "Precious Time," and single, "Fire and Ice," Toshiba EMI has been putting their utmost effort into trying to launch her here. They are utilizing the conventional promotional tactics and also conducting special campaigns to ensure her success. A golf club contest is being held for radio stations. This is a play on the Japanese word for golf club which is "pat." Hats and jackets marked with the name "Pat" have been prepared as novelties. Fire crackers and shaved ice have been presented to the people connected with the media as novelties for the single "Fire and Ice." The label has bought spots for "Fire and Ice" nationwide. ti And the single will be heard on TV spots throughout Japan during September. WEA International senior VP Fred Haayen has announced that the company will distribute The sales target of both the album and single is 100,000 copies. an LP of previously unreleased Bob Marley tracks in September. The LP will be released on Cotillion Records in the U.S. Entitled "Chances Are," the LP was produced by Marley and Marking their third anniversary, Epic Sony has had fantastic success with the Larry Fallon, with Danny Sims serving as executive producer.

Their first artist on the label is the six -woman group, Dolly Dots, from Holland. They visited Japan for the first time and held a press interview at the Osaka Grand Hotel on Julys 21, which was the day "Radio Gals," their debut single in Japan, was released. Dolly Dots was formed two and a half years ago and has released a total of nine singles and three albums so far. The group's total Germany singles sales has surpassed three million.

RCA will also release a sampler compilation of new music that will include cuts from albums released over the summer and forthcoming releases.
