www.americanradiohistory.com The people who've loved Barbra for years, and the people who just started loving her, both have a dazzling new album.

Some of the songs she's doing are strong, up-to-date and get -down -to -it tunes like the ones that captured a whole new audience for her on"Stoney End": her hit single,"WhereYou Lead"and "Beautiful," both by Carole King; and"Mother," a brilliant and moving song by . At the same time, some of the songs are the kind that've made her a favorite for years: "Since I Fell for You,""You've Got a Friend,"and "One Less Bell to Answer/A House Is Not a Home." So sometimes Barbra is right up front, and some- times she weaves her way softly through a 43 -piece orchestral background. Which means that she reaches both her audiences. Or, should we say, both of yours?

OnColumbia Records, and Tapes 4 BARBRA JOAN STREISAND including Where You Lead/ The Summer Knows Sw+ce I Fell For You/You ve Got A Friend One Less Bell To AnswerA House Is Not A Home

And it includes a beautiful new poster of Barbra.

www.americanradiohistory.com Job Magnificently

Says Stephen James: "I felt this was a promising debut and at least it made the business world aware of Elton John. Reaction was good and I knew at once that he had a great future." Around Christmas 1968, Stephen James set up a new deal with Louis Benjamin at Pye and this saw the birth of the DJM label in February 1969 through a newly formed company, DJM (Distributors) Ltd. Among the early releases were two albums by Zack Laurence and the first Elton John album, "," which was produced by Steve Brown. However, Stephen James was still a long way from setting the Thames on fire. His record production oper- ation had been in existence now for more than two years, hut a really major hit was still eluding him. However, the first success was just around the corner. "In September 1969 I went to the States and while I was in New York I heard a vocal recording which had been a hit in America. I had been thinking for some time that if I could pick up some American masters it would give the DJ M label more prestige and this seemed a likely piece of product. "The label this recording was on had no represen- tation in the U.K. so I tried to acquire the master -- hut the company wanted a fantastic price and a ridicu- lous percentage, so I decided we'd cover it. By now I'd also become familiar with the B side and I'd de- cided that this would be the better side for England. "Steve Brown made a cover version with Elton John on piano, on guitar, on bass and Roger Pope on drums-hut it didn't come off. So Steve said to mc, 'You believe in this-why don't you produce it?' "So I got Zack Laurence to score it out, hired some session musicians and released the disk as 'Groovin' With Mr. Bloc' in February 1970. It turned out to be the biggest single hit we have had so far." Meanwhile Steve Brown had decided he would rather coordinate Elton John's recordings so James hired -and the two hit it right off from the start. The second album, "Elton John," was an elab- orate exercise in quality, from the recording itself right STEPHEN JAMES AT THE CONTROL DESK OF HIS STUDIO AT DJM IN LONDON down to the antique board for the record sleeve. "Be- cause we really wanted to underline the fact that we have always placed the emphasis on quality rather than ords first and publishing second-and that influenced quantity," says Stephen James. "Since the label has me very much. This, in fact, is how the operation is been in existence we have released only 50 singles and now growing. 18 LP's-which is not a lot of product."

www.americanradiohistory.com ELTON A HIT IN FRANCE -By Míchaelway

PARIS-Gerard Tournier, a specialist in foreign catalogs in France, has represented DIM publishing and recording in this country from the beginning, distrib- uting the records through CBS -France. Undoubtedly the label in this country means Elton John, enormously popular with younger audiences in spite of the great language difficulties. Three albums have scored well-"Elton John," "Tumbleweed Collection" and "Live -17.11.70," along with singles "Border Song," "Take Me to the " and "Ballad of the Well -Known Gun." John also scored with the soundtrack from the Paramount film "Friends" (distribution Pathe-Marconi), but this is not in the DIM catalog. The artist twice visited France this year, the first time at MIDEM in January where his gala performance was one of the highlights on the same bill as Eric Burdon.

This success led to a lightning return visit in March. However, the biggest DJM success in France was Mr. Bloc's "Groovin' With Mr. Bloc," which hit a nota- ble 100,000 copies and also released were the titles "Mr. Bloc" and "Curried Soul" on singles, plus an album. Jean-Michel Gallois -Mondrun, responsible for DJM at Gerard Tournier's, said new releases in France from the catalog would be albums by , Elton John's drummer, and Phillip Goodhand Tait.

"There were two basic reasons why we got into Ca- nadian talent," explains Ross Reynolds. "We obviously needed additional product for expansion, and we were anxious to have more control over our own destiny. The environment seemed good for picking up on Canadian artists. Plus the fact that you're hot or cold, depending on the product you have at your disposal. If you can't get the product from other sources when you need it, you must create it yourself." At the time, many Canadian artists were being hand- somely courted by several other record companies. It was difficult for a label without a track record in Ca- nadian talent promotion to get in the bidding race. "It wasn't until we had a Terry Brown that we had a chance to do something with Canadian product. There was an initial reluctance from artists to join us because of our lack of experience in the field," admits Reynolds. Most of GRT's early involvements with Canadian art- ists involved lease deals from independent producers (such as Terry Brown, Doug Riley, Jack Hershorn and Harry Hinde), but more recently the company has begun its own production. GRT recently signed the well-known Toronto musician, Moe Koffman, and is producing an album of contemporary versions of Bach themes for the world market. "We have world rights on Moe, and we're now talking to several overseas companies about distribution." GRT's current hit streak is spearheaded by the Doctor Music single of "One More Mountain to Climb." Reynolds admits that he would much rather have hit albums than singles (and he should know, since he's got both). "The money is in albums in Canada. You're forced into singles as a means of promotion, but there's no real money to be made. Canadian single sales are dismally low Continued C 8 on page C-9 SEPTEMBER 18, 1971, BILLBOARD

"Production in Mon- treal is getting better and better," says Baulne, "and there is not so many covers of U.S. hits." CJMS has recently proved to be an important break- out station for English -Canadian records, something which no one could have envisaged in their most fevered dreams a year ago. lt was the first station in Eastern Canada to flip the Poppy Family single to go on "Where Evil Grows."

www.americanradiohistory.com U.S. Underground Press Snubs Canadian Acts Despite Hits

Despite enormously impressive chart gains in the past two years in America, Canada remains relatively un- The Giess Who RCA discovered as a creative force by the American rock press. And regardless of the fact that Canada usually has at least six separate titles on the top singles charts at any time, very few Canadian artists have been ac- corded any sort of artistic acclaim by the underground Alice Cooper Warner Bros. media, which bugs everyone north of the border. Canadians scorn the apparent underground attitude that if an album has chart and sales numbers it auto- matically signifies a severe artistic failure. and tomorrow there's As a result, Canadian producers generally fall into one of two categories-they make records that sell, or they come up with product that is accorded critical raves. And which doesn't sell. The best example of the former is Jack Richardson, who was responsible for the Guess Who's many hits on Hope A&M RCA. Although the Winnipeg group has sold more than 20 million records in the U.S. (and continue to be one of the hottest acts in North America) they have yet to be taken seriously by the rock press. In most reviews, they are treated as a bubblegum band, churning out taste- less trash for the moronic sub-teenage market. Producer Richardson deplores these current editorial Produced by policies. "It is ridiculous to attach a void of aesthetic value to any record which happens to be successful with the mass audience," he claims, with rather obvious credibility. Nimbus 9 Productions Limited Other Canadian acts with million -selling singles to their credit have been accorded either put downs or total ignorance from the U.S. rock press.

Few find vast monetary returns 586-2170 any compensation for the refusal to accept their status Freeport Bahamas as musicians and writers. "Frankly, I'm amazed by it all," says Frank Davies, producer of Crowbar and the King Biscuit Boy, two of the mere handful of Canadian acts which have received critical approval in the U.S. "We sit here and watch as all sorts of Canadian acts sell millions of records in the States with commer- cial Top 40 disks which are rubbished by American critics. Then when some of our own product is released Jack and gets enthusiastic praise from the critics, we can't Richardson Allan Macmillan even get on the charts. President/Executive Producer Executive Vice President "Of course, all sorts of factors could be involved.

All I can say is that it feels really strange to see the Guess Who massacred by the critics and sell a million albums, while we have rave reviews and little sales. "Naturally I'm pleased to see all these other Canadi- an disks doing so well. But I am starting to wonder if a bad review or two might not help our chart chances." Ironically, the Canadian artists who gave up and headed south in the sixties and are now U.S. residents, have been warmly greeted by the rock press. Such artists FOR COMPLETE RECORD, TAPE AND as the Band, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and Leonard Cohen have been the subject of countless inches of artis- tic approval.

No doubt there are many varying opinions on this apparent paradox of the rock press' attitude to commer- cial success.

www.americanradiohistory.com Smug? .... not likely:

Sure we've got Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell and Brave Belt and Neil Young. Sure they're Canadian. Sure they sell a lot of records. Sure that's a good reason to be smug. But we're not. We can't afford to be. Because the only way you get that kind of talent is by working at it.

And we are working at it. Our new A & R House is in Downtown Toronto at 40 Scollard Street. Several acts have been signed and more will be signed shortly. We have the best distribution, promotion and sales people of any Canadian Company.

That means that we are prepared to produce, promote and sell the best Canadian talent. But we're not prepared to be smug. And we never will be.
