BILLBOARD MAY 14, 1988 46 www.americanradiohistory.com ETA/LING Rykodisc's CD -3 Blister Pack Gets New Look NEW YORK CD -only label Ryko- disc has designed a new 4- by -12- inch package for its 3 -inch disks. The Salem, Mass. -based indie says some of the innovations came in response to suggestions from the retail community. Like the 4V2-by-12-inch package that A &M is using for its CD -3 line (Billboard, March 19), Ryko's new blister pack makes the disk visible to the consumer at the bottom. A four -color 3V2-by-7-inch card with title- dedicated art sits at the top of the package. Once opened by the consumer, the title card folds into a 31/2-inch- square wallet in which the CD -3 can be stored. Rykodisc originally marketed its CD -3s in the 3 -by -9 -inch all -cardboard package that was designed by Queens Group. The bottom of Queens' vessel featured a tear -off 3- inch -square wallet. Jeff Rougvie, Rykodisc special projects coordinator, says the one improvement that retailers sought most was that CD -3 packages be compatible with fixtures used to THE TIME merchandise conventional 5 -inch CDs, which are housed in 6- by -12- inch packages. Dealers also wanted a more sturdy package than that of the original Queens design.

C.7 BILLBOARD MAY 14, 1988 www.americanradiohistory.com DINE VIDEO Manufacturers, Retailers React To CD Recorder A biweekly column focusing on products, trends, and developments in the hardware industry. BY MARK HARRINGTON D TANDY CORP. MAY PRIVATE have nul- ROA lified years of debate over the su- periority of magnetic tape with the development of THOR -CD, a compact- disk -compatible disk that can be recorded and erased many times over. Late last month the com- TEE ROAD HE'S CHOSEN HARDWARE pany shocked the LEADS TO ROMANCE, RICHES home entertainment industry AND REVENGE! WATCH with its disclo- sure of a low -cost system that can record and erase digital audio on special new optical disks that are compatible with current CD standards. Tandy hopes to market CD audio disk recorders priced under $500 in 18 -24 months; the disks will be priced at about $15 each. So far, it appears that users will be able to record on or erase the disk many times over. Moreover, Tandy contends the system can probably record digital video signals as well. Such a feat could pose vast new opportunities or lots of headaches for video companies in the hardware and software fields. It speaks directly to the chief com- plaint about video laserdisks -that they cannot be used for recording. On all other counts, disks are vast- ly superior to tape, particularly in the home. They allow for almost instant access to any segment of a program, may last virtually forever, and are infinitely more resistant to wear. .w "Disk is a more desirable medium than tape," says Durson Sa- karya, senior project manager for the advanced engineering group at Matsushita Electric America.

Brent and Karen Brockmeyer, owner /operators of National Vid- eo stores in Jefferson City, Mo., and Dave and Essie Peddle, owner /operators of three National Videos in St. John's, Newfound- land, were presented with the awards by National Video president Ron Berger at the company's seventh annual convention, held in April at the Princess Resort and Casino in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island. National Video has more than 500 stores and claims that it has sold more than 1,100 franchises in Canada and the U.S. The IFA represents more than 620 franchising companies in Canada, the U.S., and other countries.

AMERICAN LASER (Continued from page 55) tween $14.98 and $15.98, with occasional discounting to $11.99 for selected hot titles. Farrell and Barry are also upbeat about the potential of CD video. "We think it's going to be a good thing for the industry, and we definitely will have a major commitment to CDV," says Farrell. He predicts that as many as 800 CDV titles might be released from various labels by summer, and he adds that his store plans to carry as wide a selection as possible. "It's going to expand the laser - vision market by appealing to the people who are into compact disks," Farrell says of CDV. On the audio side, Barry and Far- rell currently offer approximately 2,000 CD titles and figure that most of their software business is split evenly between CD and laservideo. American Laser also stocks a handful of prerecorded analog audio- cassettes and VHS tapes but views these products strictly as customer conveniences.

Known as Family Packs Video, it is based on the old medicine -ped- dling practices of central Japan, where kits of ointments were left without charge at peasants' homes and replenished on subsequent visits, and payments were made only for the medicines used. In Creative Works' modern version, packs of six assorted videocassettes chosen from about 1,500 in stock are delivered to nearby homes, each tape wrapped in vinyl film.

A weekly look behind the Hot 100 with Michael Ellis.

"ANYTHING FOR YOU" BY Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Ma- chine (Epic) is the first No. 1 single for the band, winning by an enormous margin in both sales and airplay points. It should be clear sailing for at least one more week at the top for "Anything." The two leading challengers take huge chart jumps -8 -2 for "Shattered Dreams" by Johnny Hates Jazz (Virgin) and 14 -4 for "One More Try" by George Michael (Columbia) but they appear to be too far behind Estefan and crew in points to edge them out by next week.

THREE RECORDS ARE flying up the chart in their second week. Mi- chael Jackson's "Dirty Diana" (Epic) nabs the Power Pick /Airplay with a radio -point gain far above that of all other contenders, fueled by MWMIONT 011 30 adds and impressive jumps at radio. Major moves: 31 -17 at WTIC Hartford, Conn., 32 -19 at KYRK Las Vegas, 29 -19 at 92 -X Columbus, "Beds are Burning" Ohio, and 28 -18 at B -96 Chicago. "Rush Hour" by Jane Wiedlin (EMI - Taken from the Columbia LP: "Diesel and Dust" 4)967 Manhattan) is the most added record already on the chart (42 adds) and Produced by Warne Livesey and Mdnight Oil takes the biggest jump, 21 places to No. 69. Right behind Wiedlin with 41 adds and a 20 -place jump to No. 57 is "Mercedes Boy" by Pebbles A SMASH! (MCA).

"When We Kiss" by Bardeux (Synthicide) has 28 top 20 radio reports and 12 adds, but its total point gain this week is below the requirement for a bullet at No. 47.
