You've heard it before, and well say it again: throughout the world of rock and roll, there's never been anything quite like this.
In celebration of "Bat Out of Hell" 's first PE 34974 birthday, let's look at the record to see why 1978 belongs to Meat Loaf, and why Meat Loaf seems to be growing bigger and bigger as the weeks go by: • Double-platinum-plus album sales. • Gold single, “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad’.’ • Over 15 million albums sold in the last 90 days. • Shipping at an average of 25,000 albums per day. • Additional 1.5 million albums sold internationally. • Total worldwide sales racing to sur- pass four million. ...and soon into 1979.
The spectacular journey that took off with "Two put of Three Ain't Bad" now continues with the new Meat Loaf single, "You Took the Words Right Out of My
Mouth. It s already a classic on hundreds of play lists all over the country. And in response to your continued sup-
port, we're shipping it in anticipation of yet another Top-40 smash.

NARM is a non-profit organization, and the monies that are received by the clinic will be channeled back to members in the form of new programs. Once the certification program is established, Cohen said that he would allow for the possibility of renting Dr. Rachman’s services to member companies that prefer the consultant to administer the text of the manual to personnel from a par- ticular chain or store. This would enable Rachman to tailor the course to the specific needs of that company. Rachman has been a consultant in the past to such general merchandise chains as J.C. Penney and to the Schwartz Brothers' Harmony Hut chain. He is curren- tly a professor of marketing at the Baruch College of the City University of New York. Another NARM project in the works isthe preparation of bar coding brochures forthe retailer and rack jobber that will explain what the Uniform Product Code (UPC) is as well as evaluating the cost and application to each category of members. The manuals are being written by Boston Associates un- der the supervision of Fred Humphrey and will be distributed to NARM members at the organization's upcoming convention in March. A formal audio-visual presentation illuminating the bar coding issue will be made at that time. Cohen stressed that the slight dif- ferences inthetextsofthebrochureswill be “based on need.” For example, he pointed out that the rack jobber has no need for in- formation concerning point of purchase since “the cash register is not his area of service. We want our membership to know all there is about bar coding at this point in time,” he said, “which is why we’re schedul- ing the regionals right after the convention, because we want retailers and distributors alike to see it as soon as possible.” NARM's committee on radio advertising (headed by Jim Tyrrell, vice president of marketing for Epic, Portrait, and Associated Labels, and John Marmaduke of Western Merchandisers) has also begun to meet and will present a film on the sub- ject at the next convention.

MANU DIBANGO — Afrovlslon — Island 9526 — LP Manu Dibango single-handedly transformed pop music in the summer of 1973 with his honking sax and pounding rhythms from “Soul Makossa.” This new album has an exciting raw rhythm and lush horns and synthesizer from Frenchman Dibango. “Big Blow” opens with melodic sax work while the drums and ticking guitar provides funky backbeat. “Aloko Party” is another likely disco favorite. Both will be on a soon-to-be released 12". With a faster beat, it rides high. This is an album to check out for soaring instrumental moments. ZULEMA — Change — London 3012 — 12” — 7:34 Zulema, formerly of Faith, Hope & Charity, has recently received several awards in- cluding "Most Promising New Artist" and this remix by the Queens, N.Y. resident shows why. An extended drum part and repeat for easy segueing and the addition of clavinet played by Zulema mark the major differences from the LP cut. With several vocal passages dropped, the instrumental plays a most central role. Vigorous rhythmic undercurrents, flashing strings, punctuating horns and excellent singing make this a winner for the floor. 45 rpm.

But “The Gaither Trio" is not being ostentatious or pretentious. Bill and Gloria Gaither and Gary McSpadden are the very best. For the half-dozen or so Gospel music afficianados unaware of the Gaithers, you are in for a real treat. For their millions of fans, who know what to ex- pect and who know that classics such as “He Touched Me,” "The Church Triumphant,” “There’s Something About That Name,” are timeless treasures, this album is a must. And The Gaithers have included a newgem called, “I Am Loved,” that will take its place alongside the rest. TRUTH — “Departure” — Paragon: PR33057 — Producer: Bob MacKenzie — List: 6.98 Regardless of personal preference concerning musical recordings, there is no debate relative to what method of mastering the highest quality. Direct-To-Disc produces towwawi pm ,i*w recording does, however, present major problems. Essentially, the artist cannot make any mistakes or the entire process has to start over. Few groups or “stars” on today's electronic musical scene would even attempt such an endeavor. But the 19- member, award-winning group “Truth” has utilized this concept and conceived a remarkable record. Appropriately entitled, "Departure” is just that — a departure in that technical inter- ference is minimized and a departure in that the sound is en- compassing. You feel like you’re front row center at a “Truth” concert. 62 Cash Box/October 28, 1 978 BLACK CONTEMPORARY Blacks Making Strides In Top TOP 75AlL BUMS Level Management Positions by Cookie Amerson Among the newer companies, Source LOS ANGELES — Prompted by an usual and Hiltak Records have not released any Weeks Weeks product.
