There is also a more compact unit, the model HP -300, which is a 76 -key instrument. Roland engineers say that both units look and sound like a conven- tional piano. However, they add, the Piano Plus can also produce an array of additional sounds, including harp- JLM5L8228/' 9890 sichord, vibraphone and contempo- .iMSI.FSUfiOAP 96H3 rary electric piano voicings. In addition to its capability to in- terface with personal computers and stereo systems, the Piano Plus can also be used with other synthesizers, rhythm machines, or special prod- ucts such as the Roland Digital Piano Recorder and Rhythm Plus. Roland's engineers say that a com- puter or Piano Recorder connection can turn Piano Plus into a sophisti- cated player piano that can record any music played on the keyboard. It can also store music produced in the computer memory and play it back live. Addition of the Rhythm Plus at- tachment provides automatic rhythm accompaniment. Roland's engineers predict that as the technology advances, the capabil- ity of the Piano Plus will grow. The e unit retails for $1,595 for the HP-

400, and $1,395 for the HP -300. The lolL _ C_ .L Piano Recorder and the Rhythm Plus retail for $498 and $395 o respectively. Meanwhile, Roland has begun of- fering its model SH -101 in a choice of colors, including metal- lic reds and blues and silver grey. The SH -l01 is a battery -powered unit with features that include two types of pitch band, a 100 -step sequencer, an arpeggiator and full interface capabilities. Also new from Roland is the Boss model HA -5 play bus headphone am- plifier, which allows two musicians to play together. When it is used with Roland's model RH -I IM headphone microphone, the players can also talk with each other. According to Roland's engineers, the HA -5 can also interface with a cassette deck or rhythm machine for practice with accompaniment. Used between an instrument and an am- plifier, the HA -5 can also serve as an effects box suitable for live perfor- mances. Roland engineers add that the HA -5 has a number of features built in to enhance instrument sound. They point to a symmetrical over- drive circuit that produces soft, clear distortion which can be added in the Ya" Two Channel, desired amount.

Anka, Summer Tours Using Nova Sound LOS ANGELES -Nova Sound Research and Innovative Audio/ Schubert Systems have joined forces to provide Paul Anka with sound re- inforcement for his 1983 world tour. The companies are using signal pro- cessing equipment from Dick Schu- bert, Jim Gamble and George Mas- senburg Labs. The firms' Mike Abbott will be house engineer on the tour. He will be assisted by Ken Fowler, Alan Bonomo and Chip Croop. Nova Sound is also providing sound reinforcement for Donna Sum- mer's 1983 U.S. tour. For this pro- ject, Nova Sound has assembled a large monitor system consisting of 20 cabinets. Eight of these are being uti- lized by Summer, while the others are for the band, which includes three keyboard players, drummer, percussionist, bassist, guitarist, saxo- phonist and two backup vocalists. Nova Sound is providing a small house system to augment the existing systems in venues where Summer is appearing. The house system utilizes a Midas 32x8 with a custom five -way stereo crossover limiter package from George Massenburg Labs, and a ste- reo, five-band parametric equalizer, also from Massenburg. House engi- neer for the project is Bernie Fromm.

Sherrill. I started promoting the record with acetates, going around to radio stations on the West Coast, while everybody was playing hard rock. Nobody felt that this record had a

chance to make it, but I believed in this record with all my heart. This record hit the top of the charts. Beside being a hit for Vinton, the record established Sherrill as a hit producer. J Íi B^ 't "EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE" -This record was produced by Jimmy Bowen. Nobody believed in this record except myself! I arranged a personal appearance for Bobby Vinton at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York. Bobby sang

this song on a float on national tv. I called Jay Cook, PD of

WFIL, Philadelphia, and told him that I loved this record. He told me that his wife agreed with me, and he added the record. It became a national hit. Ringo Starr dropped by my office to see me in 1972. I was out, so he wrote this note on the wallpaper.

www.americanradiohistory.com SEYMOUR STEIN, President Sire Records Vice President International A &R, Warner Bros., Billboard Alumnus. BOBBY VINTON AND TWO LEGENDS "Others may choose to extol Pete Bennett as the pioneer of independent promotion, or for his close association with artists like the Beatles and Rolling CONGRATULATIONS PETE Stones, or for his keen instincts in predicting musical trends.... all of which are true. When I look back on our long friendship, which spans nearly a quarter century, one early incident always stands out, for in addition to having been riotously funny it encapsulates at once the ego and strength and naivete of the man. "I was in my teens, working at the charts department of Billboard under Tom Noonan, when I first met Pete Bennett. He had just come off the road as drummer in the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and embarked on a new career doing local promotion fdr Cambridge Distributors. "Pete's self- confidence, gregarious nature, unique sense of humor and, most of all, dedication made him a star promoting man overnight. He started popping records in New York, developing close personal relationships with Murray "The K" Kaufman and Jack Lacy at WINS, as well as the "Good Guys" at WMCA, then New York's power- house Top 40 stations. "One of Pete's first artist clients upon going independent was all -time pop great Nat "King" Cole. After more than 10 years of successive hit singles, he was having a difficult time maintaining pop credibility in the early 1960s. Pete soon changed this, and gave his career a new lease on life. Between the years of 1962 until his untimely death in 1965, he had a string of teen -oriented Top 40 hits.

"Nat Cole, whom I was fortunate to know, was a loving and lovely man. But Pete Bennett held a special place in his heart. Nat loved his energy and positive attitude and just having him around. "Around 1963, while playing a week -long engagement at the Bradford Roof in Boston, Nat sent his chauffeur to New York to bring Pete up for the closing night. He asked me to come. When we arrived at the Bradford, we were directed to the ballroom where Mr. Cole was a press

conference. After watching Nat field questions from CO w reporters from the Globe and Herald, Pete began 00 wildly waving his hand. Nat said 'My promotion man, f= r- Pete Bennett, has just arrived and I believe he has a question." Pete said 'Nat, I'd like to know who was it o that was responsible for breaking'Ramblin' Rose ?' "Bewildered but not stunned, Nat replied 'Why, v that was you, Pete. Thank you very much.' Several more questions ensued, and again Pete raised his TO THE P hand. 'Nat, I want to know who broke 'Dear Lonely Heart' when no one in New York would play the BEST record. Who took it down to Georgie Woods at WDAS in Philadelphia ?' PROMOTION MAN "I must admit, this question sent Nat reeling just a little bit, but he quickly responded 'Why, Pete, that IN THE was you again. I owe you so much.' "And having gotten his credit, Pete retired to the

bar. I MUSIC INDUSTRY remember being asked to show my I.D., but Let the Music Play Pete turned to the bartender and said 'Go on, give We know the next 25 years the kid a drink.' Which he promptly did. Another 25 Years "I have many fond memories of Peter Bennett You'll still be tops. over the years, and truly feel lucky to have made his acquaintance and gotten to know and love the man, not just the legend."

DICK RAKOVAN Sr. Vice President, Outlet Radio "Pete Bennett has got to be one of the real characters in my experience, past lives or current life. It's too bad that Damon Runyon isn't alive, because he'd have to revise all of his writings. "He sent a friend of mine a letter once, and the letterhead he used had references to offices in all the major capitols of the world. He even had cable contacts in, say, Switzerland. All products of Pete's unique imagination. "Pete's one of those guys who's like the Great Imposter. He's always showing up as the third person in a picture with a prominent international

But this year has seen a rad- ical shift in pricing policies on the part of the major distributors, and some movies are now available' on tape for less than $30, with even cheaper budget lines on the way, so that disk's advantage in this respect is fast evaporating. Cause of the cassette price cuts is a recognition that European software markets have been dominated too much by rental -over 90% of video transactions in the U.K. last year. To stimulate straight sale, Thorn EMI began 1983 by reducing trade price on 140 titles to $20, and other distrib- utors have followed suit. Culmina- tion was the launch by Neon in Sep- tember of a 50 -title package selling to dealers at only $15. Tape catalogs overall are still ex- panding quickly, though the earlier tendency to flood the market with product has given way to more con- sidered release strategies, particularly as the supply of viable feature films begins to be exhausted. Some 7,000 legitimate titles are available, and al- though video "nasties" and the need for censorship controls grab all the headlines, the market is largely domi- nated by broadly family -oriented movies. Comparatively few major ti- tles generate a large proportion of dealer revenue at any one time. Specialized material is now avail- able in some quantity: music pro- grams are proliferating, around 1,000 children's titles are on offer, and how -to tapes cover everything from fly fishing to child bearing. But in volume terms, these titles represent under 10% of the market, and hard - pressed dealers are therefore reluc- tant to commit funds to stock them. The result has been not only price cuts for specialist material, which is thought to have strong sales poten- tial, but also the beginnings of a search for alternative avenues of dis- tribution. Such channels include mail order operations such as the U.K.'s Observer newspaper recently launched, or other kinds of retail store, such as bookshops or photo- graphic centers.
