www.americanradiohistory.com 'HOT 10' PROFILES NEW GENERATION OF CANADIAN TALENT BUBBLING BEHIND LONG -TIME SUCCESSES

5. Helix (Capitol) was one of those Canadian success sto- ries in 1984 that was quiet and wasn't. " Walkin' The Razor's Edge," its second album, cracked the Top 100 in the U.S. and was one of only a handful of Canadian disks to go plati- num at home in the year. "Rock You" became the Canadian rock anthem of the year and helped earn the band a Juno nomination. Of course, there's nothing quiet about the way the southern Ontario band -based in Kitchener -goes about its business. Its metal sound is anything but subtle, but Helix is drawing attention for its comparably mature lyrics in what is sometimes a bit of a word wasteland. Hard rock fans are eagerly awaiting album three. 6. Sherry Kean(Capitol) is perhaps the most striking of what is an impressive array of emerging Canadian female vo- Jane Siberry calists. She won the Juno for Most Promising Female Vocalist Platinum Blonde in 1984 and many see for Kean a long -range career because of her stylistic flexibility.

Nominated for a Juno, a quick U.S. tour with Jethro Tull earned it atten- tion there and more could be headed its way later in 1985 with a second album. 9. Jane Siberry (Duke Street - WEA) is being compared to Joni Mitchell by Canadian critics and Lau- rie Anderson by those who have seen her in the U.S. A quirky, alluring for- mer folkie, she scored phenomenal attention at home with her "No Bor- ders" disk. Nominated for a Juno, the Toronto -based Siberry is the dar- ling of the city's artier music crowd. She writes compelling, offbeat lyrics and mixes them with unconventional pop -based music. "No Borders" was the only Canadian disk to consistent- ly make critical Top 10 lists at home in 1984. With that type of support, her next album this year could be the sort of Canadian breakthrough that can't be ignored elsewhere. 10. Zappacosta (Capitol) has per- haps the unlikeliest name for a rock star (you thought Frank had a tough time), but the 1984 Juno winner for Most Promising Male Vocalist is reaping the rewards of hard work in Toronto and Vancouver. Now under the managerial tutelage of Allen, Al- fie Zappacosta turned heads when he was part of Surrender, a former Capitol signing. But cutting out on his own seems to have been the cor- rect course for him to pursue. A self - titled disk showed immense rock po- tential. Those 10 don't tell the entire sto- ry; far from it, in fact. Some of 1985's biggest Canadian successes could come from among those un- recorded -even unsigned- artists. There are three names to pencil in for future reference. They've either been signed or were in the process of heavy courting at the beginning of the year. Call them the surest long - shots on the horizon. Alta Moda: a wild Toronto -based singer with a stunning concert pres- ence and superior voice, whose work is largely hot dance material. At last word, she was asking top dollar for her signature on a contract and there were several suitors.

Brian Robertson admits there's no evidence yet of vid- eo exposure displacing record purchases, but it's "a very real possibility." Martin disagrees, of course, and is happy to pull from the wall the first -ever platinum album given to the music video service-from Canadian heavy-metal band Helix, for contrib- uting to sales. As for video repetition, Martin and others at MuchMusic are looking this year to expand the programming day to 12 hours. That will allow much more flexibility. There are also plans for a French -language service for the hungry Quebec market. While the private networks there program some music video, publicly -owned French CBC -TV refuses to broadcast any. MuchMusic was late in entering the Quebec market as an English service, but cable companies were quick to tout the Rubbing channel in other parts of the country as a major pay service.

efforts are on time and on target, with a music video sales jump of 300% -400% in 1984. Entry of the major labels into the video music marketing business is the best thing that could happen, O'Donnell claims, even though it will mean that Sony faces increased competition. The cumulative efforts by all the companies selling the product will sharply increase con- sumer awareness of music video, he says, thus increasing the retail pen- etration as customers ask for the product they know is available be- cause of all the advertising that is done for it. O'Donnell says he doesn't mind that video stores have had trouble selling his music product. "Do you walk into a video store for a hair- cut?," he asks, contending that vid- eo specialty outlets have made a business of renting movies, not sell- ing music, and that asking them to do both can risk trying to push a very square peg through a very round hole. O'Donnell admits that at first things were slow. Tom Seaman, mu- sic video manager for Jem Records, recalls: "In early 1984 it was a dif- ferent story. We had to explain our philosophy to every retailer. We told them: The Video 45s are anoth- er form of music recordings.' " But it wasn't Jem's cajoling and explaining that eventually con- vinced some 400 record /tape retail- ers during the first quarter of 1984 to take on Sony's products. It was, Seaman admits, a liberal returns otNi policy of 18% quarterly. rnfraa "We encouraged retailers to pur- I P chase one or two copies of the same (an u,ará title, and to open [music video sec- tions] with less than 50 titles," he Colerra says. "We would rather have them re -order than feel they were stuck Isabella with excess inventory." Currently, some 500 small record shops carry as many as 100 music video titles, Seaman says, and Sony distributes a comparable number to the major record chains. In fact, Jem, after seeing the ini- tial impact of music video, set up a division that imports Japanese mu- sic videos. It is currently offering concert videotapes by Bob Marley, Pat Benatar, Black Sabbath and Brian Eno. Last October was the turning 1 point for Sony's music titles, Sea- man says: "Sales started to take off." The marked increase resulted when the firm began to release cur- rnany thanks to the members and judges of the 1985 Tournament rent and topical titles, and "influen- " -WEA, CBS of Roses Parade, the talented people at Jubilee Parade Float tial manufacturers and RCA - placed the wheels in mo- Company, and of course, our "family" at FAMILY HOME ENTER- tion to distribute video to record/ TAINMENT.

"Record stores were concerned about selling video in that environ- ment at first. They thought video belonged in video stores," he adds. "But when the majors said they were starting their own programs, that issue died." Now, home video firms are ask- ing, should record /tape outlets sell Family Home Entertainment movies?

ELVIS THE '68 COMBACK SPECIAL

In celebration of the 50th anni- versary of the king of rock'n' roll's birth, Media Home Enter- tainment released "Elvis The '68 Comeback Special" Dec. 11. Now an authentic home video, this special was heavily bootlegged in the past. The footage, previously cut in part for a '68 television showing because it was considered too racy, is shown in an uncut ver- sion. Performing such vintage hits as "Jailhouse Rock" and "Love Me Tender" in an intimate stage setting, Elvis croons and seduces his following of coy bouffants. This video will appeal to diehard Elvis fans and youn- ger viewers, Media claims. Posters and press kits contain- ing Elvis paraphernalia along with a 15 -page biography were distributed to retailers, distribu- tors and Elvis Presley fan clubs across the country upon the vid- eo's release. Current point -of- purchase items that can be ob- tained through Media are release sheets and posters. Other than that, there is minimal promotion- al material available. The cas- sette is available in VHS Dolby and Beta Hi -Fi, with a suggested price of $29.95. It appears this week at 30 on the Sales chart. LINDA MOLESKI
