©1993 WARNER BROS. RECORDS INC. RONNIE WOOD APPEARS COURTESY OF THE IDNTINUUM GRO1 New Year'sNWutioU..ROTATIONS! by BARRY FIEDEL and BOB GREENBERG

Webster's Dictionary tellsus that the word ROTATE means to revolve or move around a center or axis. Our dual industries have always believed in thecycles of business, so then, the ROTATIONS concept is notnew or unique at all. As a matter of fact, it is the natural progression ofan intelligent, reality -seeking, community of professionals who are striving to center themselves in the truth. What isthat truth we all seek? Today, more than ever before,we have many prophets who will tell you that they are telling the truth...Beware of false prophets!

For three years we have traveled thecountry with our Regional Seminars. We've experienced, first-hand, a real exchange of ideas betweenprogrammers and record executives. Still, there exists major misunderstandings between bothindustries. Here then, we want to concentrateon one perfect truth. One undisputable reality that has been time -tested and proven successful...the individual abilityto go that one step beyond. Cutting edge is not just an adjective-It's a philosophy! Risk taking isa controlled art utilized by WINNERS. Playing it safenever won a race or made anyone a millionaire.

The concept is rather simple, but today it is constantly being overstatedby pitchmen and pitchwomen who would haveyou think they know it all. Late night TV is loaded with various avenues for self-success. There's a tape and a philosophy for every need. Where does that get you? Unless you're willingto leave the world of insecurity and step off the ledge, you'll never know the glory of victory. Yes, it'sthat simple!

Afraid of losing your job?...Afraid to play thewrong record? FORGET IT...How can you ever win? You must take chances. YOU MUST!

Let 1994 be the year YOU rotateyour own life into the cycle of success. Listen to your gut, envision your goals, and be secure. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY AND THE RIGHT TO MAKE ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.
