  • Who's Who in A&R at Prelude
    Who's Who In A&R At Prelude INTRODUCTION: In the last two issues our A&R Spotlight has dealt with relatively large record company A&R staffs. In contrast, Prelude Records is a small new disco oriented label where A&R is very much a part of the overall running of the company. With disco playing an in- creasingly important role in contemporary music, we felt it would be interesting to take a closer look at this emerging new label. PERSONNEL: Marvin Schlachter— President Stan Hoffman — Executive Vice President Starr Arning — Director of Disco Promotion Joe Kolsky — Sales Manager Jeff Deliniko — Controller Gerry Kuster — Production Stacy Frankel — Accounts Receivable Bob Lowe — Retail Promotion Phyllis Katz — Assistant to Controller Eric Plotkin — Mail Room Francois Kevorkian — Director of A&R Brenda Winbush — Receptionist/Secretary MARVIN SCHLACHTER: President A native New Yorker, Marvin received a degree in Business Administration from City College in 1955. After 2 years in the army, he spent 4 months in the CBS mailroom before moving to Cashbox Magazine as an advertising representative from 1958 to 1960. He spent the next 9 years building Scepter Records with Florence Greenberg. As a principal in the company and Executive Vice President, Schlachter played a vital role in Scepter's unprece- dented growth. When Janus Records was established in July of 1969, Marv accepted the firm's Presidency. He promptly established Janus with eleven hit singles, including a gold record and several chart albums in the first year of operation. By March of 1971 he was President of the entire GRT Record Group, including Chess-Janus and GRT Records.

  • "Ersatz As the Day Is Long": Japanese Popular
    “ERSATZ AS THE DAY IS LONG”: JAPANESE POPULAR MUSIC, THE STRUGGLE FOR AUTHNETICITY, AND COLD WAR ORIENTALISM Robyn P. Perry A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Walter Grunden, Advisor Jeremy Wallach © 2021 Robyn P. Perry All Rights Reserve iii ABSTRACT Walter Grunden, Advisor During the Allied Occupation of Japan, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP) Douglas MacArthur set forth on a mission to Americanize Japan. One way SCAP decided this could be done was by utilizing forms of media that were already popular in Japan, particularly the radio. The Far East Network (FEN), a network of American military radio and television stations in Japan, Okinawa, Guam, and the Philippines, began to broadcast American country & western music. By the early 1950s, Japanese country & western ensembles would begin to form, which initiated the evolution toward modern J-pop. During the first two decades of the Cold War, performers of various postwar subgenres of early Japanese rock (or J-rock), including country & western, rockabilly, kayōkyoku, eleki, and Group Sounds, would attempt to break into markets in the West. While some of these performers floundered, others were able to walk side-by-side with several Western greats or even become stars in their own right, such as when Kyu Sakamoto produced a number one hit in the United States with his “Sukiyaki” in 1963. The way that these Japanese popular music performers were perceived in the West, primarily in the United States, was rooted in centuries of Orientalist preconceptions about Japanese people, Japanese culture, and Japan that had recently been recalibrated to reflect the ethos of the Cold War.

ISSN 2044 1 9 8 3 Cr e a to rs Bestley, Russ Usage Guidelines Please refer to usage guidelines at http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/policies.html or alternatively contact ualresearchonline@arts.ac.uk . License: Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives Unless otherwise stated, copyright owned by the author The Top of the Poppers sing and play punk Russ Bestley, London College of Communication By the mid-1970s, the music industry had a long history of accommodating and recuperating teenage rebellion, and punk’s defiant message of radical change also offered new opportunities for commercial enterprise. A rush to sign new bands who could be (broadly) associated with punk, and the concomitant shift toward ‘new wave’ styles, led to a degree of UK chart success for a number of groups. The inclusion of punk and new wave songs on a series of low-budget compilations featuring cover versions of contemporary hits strikes a particularly discordant tone with punk’s self-styled image of a break with traditional music industry conventions. The albums released on the longstanding budget compilation series Top of the Pops between mid-1977 and early 1982 tell an interesting story about the cultural recuperation of punk, new wave and post-punk, and ask questions, perhaps, about the legitimacy of punk’s often mythologised ‘outsider status’.

  • 40Th Anniversary of the Village Green Preservation
    Mark Wegman November 2008 As many of you know, Saturday is the 40th anniversary of the U.K. release of The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society. "One of the most successful failures of all time" is how Ray Davies has described his masterpiece. The spring of 1968 found The Kinks in a state of limbo. The relative failure of their “Wonderboy” single in April 1968 seemed to testify to their fall from popular grace even in the singles genre, which had traditionally been their strong suit. Even though the group had produced increasingly intricate and innovative albums, the albums had been likewise increasingly ignored (i.e., Something Else). The panacea of the hippie flower child "peace and love" culture began, even at this early date, to lose some of its luster - fueled in America by the sight on the evening news of America's youth being slaughtered wholesale in far-off Vietnam for a purpose that was increasingly unclear, other than "America has never lost a war!" America had become more polarized both politically as well as culturally. The assassination of Robert Kennedy and violent riots at the Democratic National Convention that summer in Chicago had jolted many in the "free love" generation to become more politically active. The emergence of the "underground" and the "movement" in both print, music and on the radio waves only helped to fuel the activist viewpoint. In the States, you were either "cool" or you were a "pig," you either were part of the solution or you were part of the problem.
