Continued from page 18 EVR for conversion to its for- mat. Commenting on EVR's break- through, Zanuck said the strength of EVR lay in the quality of its color reproduction, the modest rental price which will make it available to the mass market, the mechanics which provide a de- fense against unlawful copying and bootlegging of prints, and OM the benefits that will accrue to all segments of the film industry through the expansion of the market for feature films. Meanwhile, major agreements have been completed by CBS- EVR spreading the EVR net- work across Europe. John C. Lewis, managing director for The EVR Partnership, said that under the new arrangements EVR cartridge films will be pro- duced and distributed in Switzer- land by a joint organization, CADIA, formed for this purpose by CIBA, Geigy and Editions Recontre. (CIBA 1 -td., along with Imperial Chemical Indus- tries I.td. and CBS, form The EVR Partnership.) ('ADIA will create EVR materials in medical. agrochemical, scientific, encyclo- pedic and purely cultural topics. In Germany, Robert Bosch of Stuttgart has been licensed by The Partnership to produce and sell EVR players; an agreement has also been signed with Video- thek Programm of Wiesbaden. under which they will act as the EVR processing agent in Ger- many and Austria.

Tonsil Records does things right. (Starting with our big -mouth logo.) 1. We signed up Great Jones (led by Jay 'Traynor, who was the Jay of Jay and the Americans). Not bad. 2. We gave them a scoop; Bob Dylan's "I'll Keep It With Mine." Not bad. 3. We had it produced by Jerry Ragovoy. Not bad. 4. We signed up Great Jones to do the sound track for the new movie, The Sidelong Glances of a Pigeon Kicker. Not bad. 5. They elicited sustained applause at Edmore East, extreme acclaim at the Rockpile, Toronto, and wbn over the Electric Factory, Philadelphia. Not bad. (With our other hand, we signed Asylum, a very very good big jazz rock band. They're belting out their first album right this minute, and we'll release it in May. Right after that, they'll play a summer engagement at the Caribe Hilton, San Juan.) Good old APA is the faithful booking agent for both groups.

We built a New york sound studio just du siic,E ' ri[hrrir from New York and only e from PhiIv1

New York sound studios are technically the best in the business. They have the best facilities, the latest equipment, the finest engineers. But they do have their problems. Namely, they're very expensive. And very hard to book. Nashville studios rate second only to New York. And in music, because so many great sidemen and arrangers are there, they're probably number one. Which is why, in terms of cost and studio time, Nash- ville has its problems too. Well, we've taken the principle of the New York and Nashville studios, and reproduced them. Once you're inside our studios, you'd think you were in New York or Nashville. ALL THE EQUIPMENT IS P' ' "" There's probably more of it at L & H Sound than you'll ever need.

To give you some idea, we've just installed an 8 - and -16 track Ampex MM -1000 Master Recorder (a lot of studios in New York haven't gotten up to it yet). Moreover, our floating studio was built to be a studio. It was built for the specific purpose of being ac- coustically perfect. There isn't just one studio, either. There are three. THERE ISN'T MUCH WE CAN'T DO A large one, a medium, and small one.

For rock, country and western, and gospel groups. We can provide everything. A couple of organs included. We can also provide first-rate sidemen and arrangers. From the recording session, we can take ycJ all the way to the finish. We'll do everything except guarantee you number one on the charts. For agency people, we can record, mix, edit, as- semble, anything, for radio and television.

NEW YORK, NASHVILLt and NOW PHILLY

So far, we've equated ourselves with New York and Nashville. Now we'll show you how we're better. An hour of 8 -track studio time in New York runs around S90.00. If you can get the studio. An hour of 8 -track studio time at L & H runs 570.00. And although we get a lot of work, we're not so swamped that we'll turn you away. r rtt UH VWUS CONCLUSION All -Ampex Recorders 3 Grand Pianos If you work any place in the north, it's ridiculous to 2 Organs - (Hammond) travel anywhere, when we're so close.
