If we're reaching only one per cent of the population, we're not doing our job. A platinum record doubles that figure, but we're still not doing our job. Carly Simon or Carole King, these are artists who transcend normal musical categories into which everybody in the music business likes to bag artists. We've become accustomed to a philosophy in the last couple of years, that catalogue doesn't sell, which is not true, and a record is going to sell most of what it's going to sell within 90 days of its release. That's true, if you only promote for ninety days. Mel and Joel were telling me last night that there was a suggestion that we go out and re -market Carly all over again, which of course is absolutely right. That's the philosophy. We've got to keep marketing the artist, if the music is there, you just must keep chasing it. Carly will have a whole new marketing campaign in new marketing dollars as of the Joel Friedman Jac Holzman end of this convention. And that's going to be our job: keep chasing.

We've all got Jac and Joel Show," which is the basis for this week's Dialogue. to think about new ways we can reach people because at least 50 per cent of American homes have 1p phonographs that are capable of playing records but we're just not reaching them. So that means more effort. Of course, the artist, the producer Joel Friedman: Why has Elektra released fewer albums this and the record company have got to give you the record. We've year than last? done that with Bread, we've done that with Carly Simon. She's an who Jac Holzman: We record more artist has a special magic, a special intensity that appeals records than we release. I'd hate to people to tell you what we scrap every year.
