Dear Lee:

Just a note to thank Steve Levesque and the others on your staff on the most fantastic PR and promotion job on Nathan Cavaleri. I've rarely seen such a media reaction generated on a first -time artist.

The TV, radio and print interest your office created for this 11 year old Australian blues guitarist in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin and San Francisco, at both local and national levels, has been truly gratifying. We know about it here, at MJJ Music and Epic, because we're seeing the bottom -line reaction to his trip.

It's been a blueprint on how to handle a debut recording.

Thank you, again.

Warmest regards,

P.S.: All of us at MJJ Music are glad that you are getting involved with our next new artist releases, QUO and Brownstone.

VIDEO PREVIEWS (Continued from page 72) Greatest Hoene Runs In Baseball History." The videos splice together archival footage, current interviews with the people who made it happen, and present -day commentary to weave a creative program for fans of all ilks. Each of the five videos also is available separately for $14.98.

A N I M A T I O N "Magic Eye -The Video," Cascom Internationa_ (615- 292 -3372), 50 minutes. Based on the nest- selling book and syndicated newspaper series, "Magic Eye" is a treat for viewers who enjoy

uncovering Escher -like images. Hidden three -dimensional images float by onscreen and reveal themselves to viewers who can train their eyes to focus more on background than foreground. The scenes, which are combined with hi- tech animation and set to soothing, synthesized music, become increasingly difficult to decipher as the program goes on. Downside is that the video was created for use on a 30 -inch television at minimum; on a smaller set, the graphics lose some of their magic. Viewers with a smaller TV likely will walk away not only disappointed, but suffering from eye strain. "Volume =I," which the producers issued just as soon as they wrapped this first incarnation, is available, too. INSTRUCTIONAL "Shopping Witt Susan," A *Vision (212- 275 -2900), 40 minutes, $12.95. Susan Powter, the loudmouthed champion of a lean, strong, and healthy lifestyle, shows v_ewers how to cut the fat from their kitchens, shopping carts, and favorite recipes in this fun and unintimidating video.

Another key component, according to Robert Nederlander, is a built -in online adjunct. "The problem with reference titles, in any medium, is that once they are published there is no way to update them. And updating is especially crucial in the sports market, where information is constantly changing," he says. "We are keen on giving our sports fans who purchase i this the ability to take the information from the current year and integrate that with the rest of the information that we provide. So someone who buys this is going to be able to go back to it over and over again." When they explore the title, users will come across an area asking if they would like to update the product, Nederlander says. Anyone who answers yes and whose computer has a modem -twice a week will receive new information on results from the previous week, as well as a preview of the coming week's games. "And all this is seamless," he adds. "The user is not going to have to know anything about computers or online services - it's done behind the scenes." The same technique is being ex- plored by other CD -ROM publishers that recognize the worth of this platform- unique, value -added feature. Turner Home Entertainment and CNN's "The People V. O.J. Simpson: An Interactive Companion To The O.J. Simpson Trial," for instance, includes free CompuServe signup and software for updates on develop- ments in that case. RealTime also has agreements with the National Hockey League and Major League Baseball for `official yearbooks" on the respective sports, Nederlander says. Plans also include the production of game and gaming -related sports titles, Neder- lander says. A total of 10 RealTime titles are expected to hit the market by i the end of 1995. MARILYN A. GILLEN

Next is "The Night Before Christ- mas" in the fall, coinciding with Dis- ney's "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas." For that title, Sony Wonder will emphasize print ads in KURT RUSSELL VAL magazines such as Parents, Parenting, KILMER Family Fun, Us, and Family Life.

A new mother herself, Moss says, "Moms go there three times a week, so that's a wonderful place for our product. Super- markets are a whole new area for Sony, so we're really trying to develop that and get more information from them about their sell-through base. They've been extremely supportive." The series is co-produced by animation company Golden Films, which previously had worked on projects for Sony Kids (the predecessor to Sony Wonder). Golden Films was founded by Diane Eskenazi, whose version of "Aladdin" was released by GoodTimes Entertainment. 'We spoke to Diane about a year and a half ago about creating a series of productions for video," Moss says. 'We came up with a variety of titles, and tried to determine which stories seemed to make sense during which times of year, and discussed them with Golden Films from the creative stand- point" The choice of "The Jungle King" as the first title was not based on Disney's release of `The Lion King," she says.

He adds, "Today, the standards for error dropouts and the use of error- correction by machines using the Red Book standard are fairly loose. We think if you could tighten that up, you would have a better -sounding disc." Belkin's single- mindedness about mastering and remastering reflects his status as an ardent independent who inhabits a different world from that of his major -label cousins. "They're in the business of making LOOK WHERE lots of product available to lots of people quickly and cheaply," Belkin says of the majors. "We're in the business of providing small amounts of product to small numbers of people slowly, and without regard to cost." After a four-year hiatus, Mobile Fi- delity has returned to manufacturing audiophile LPs, prompted by its purchase from Westwood One of a record manufacturing plant in the Northern California town of Sebastopol. Belkin stresses, however, that Mo- bile Fidelity's new plant is a different breed from the LP factories of old, re- tooled to meet a higher standard. "In the past, all of the audiophile business was an offshoot or a sideline for commercial production plants," he says. "I said, `Let's build an audiophile plant. Nobody's ever done that.' '" That trail-blazing attitude suits Mo- bile Fidelity, says Belldn, because his company must stay one step ahead in order to survive in a competitive marketplace. "In 1981, we decided that the way to make great -sounding audiocassettes was to do it on chrome tape in real time. Well, everybody said that was ba- loney; later on, chrome became the way PROFESSIONAL AUDIO N /IDEO to go. That's happened to us year after year. Our job is to keep pushing."

'JUST A THOUGHT'

FOR THE PASSION OF A SINNER, AND THE PATiENCE OF A SAINT. Capturing a musician's artistry requires an extraordinary talent. The 3M Visionary Award honors those recording engineers and producers who use 3M audio mastering tape to reach the top of the Billboards charts. Kudos for going through heaven and hell in pursuit of the perfect sound. From the people who won't be satisfied until you are.
