In the $20 for two records, they start think- vice president of marketing, says the label is considering making the album available in two volumes, as well as in its present combined format. "A problem with that," he notes, "is that if the hits are all on one volume, the other one could be a stiff. You don't get the ride- along. Still, we're well over 200,000 units on the album, which is nothing to sneeze at. Whether it would be 400,000 or 500,000 if it had been a single LP, I can't say." Dan Stebbins, retail music buyer at Western Merchandisers in Ama- rillo, says flatly, "Price is what killed `Fast Times.' It would have done better at $13.98 and even better at $12.98. But $15.98 is more than people want to pay right now. `No Nukes' listed $17.98 and 'Urban Cowboy' also went up to $17.98 after its peak sales, but things were different back then." Indeed, price didn't seem to be as critical a factor in 1980, when nine double albums went platinum, including three that listed at $15.98: Bruce Springsteen's "The River," Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" and "Ur- ban Cowboy." A total of 13 double albums went platinum in the boom year of 1978, with price points ranging from $15.98 for the "Sgt. Pep- per" soundtrack to $11.98 for Ted Nugent's "Double Live Gonzo." The consensus of the manufacturers and retailers surveyed is that black and new music acts are most vulnerable to double -disk price resistance, while classical and jazz acts are least vulnerable. The resistance that black acts face with doubles was underscored when "Jacksons Live" failed to even go gold last year, despite the fact that its two single -disk predecessors, "Destiny" and "Triumph," both went platinum. "The George Benson Collection" on Warner and Stevie Wonder's "Original Musiquarium I" on Tamla did go gold, but fell short of the platinum level attained by the acts' previous single -disk LPs. Benson listed for $16.98; Wonder for $13.98. Dick Sherman, Motown's senior vice president of marketing and distribution, says he hopes the Wonder album will yet go platinum, helped by holiday sales. Still, he adds: "If we had a choice we would probably not release a double, but there are times you don't have that choice." Lou Dennis, vice president of sales at Warner Bros., defends the Benson pricing by saying: "It was a THE ARTISANS deluxe set with a booklet and a fancy box. It was also a year ago, which is definitely a consideration. It's a different market today."

With just two television channels currently in operation -one service for the white market, with a 50 -50 time allocation to the official languages, English and Afrikaans, the other a combined black service for seven different language groups - the options of viewing provided by the South African Broadcasting Corporation's tv division are clearly limited.

The retail sector is confronted by two main rental systems: the surcharge type, whereby the dealer buys the cassette and pays extra for the right to rent; and the indeterminate -length method, whereby the producers maintain software ownership. Rental prices range from as low as $1 a night up to $7, but sales have reportedly been hit of late under the surcharge system, because retailers have passed the surcharge on to customers, resulting in cassettes selling at up to $ I30, nearly double the lowest rate.

(PVA), which claims there are five million prerecorded videocassettes currently in circulation in this territory. Video shop owners are fiercely defensive about their status as "legitimate" traders, and there are argu- ments galore about the semantics of the term "piracy," but there seems little doubt about the nature of the flourishing video industry in the Philippines. Attempts to change this situation have yielded feeble results. In 1981, the Filipinas Movie Foundation, an organization of movie producers, importers and distributors, spearheaded a crackdown, but a vexing tangle of legal technicalities invali- dated the search warrants of the police team that raided three major outlets in Manila. And the PVA scored a more significant victory by securing a preliminary court injunction preventing the movie foundation from promoting any more raids against PVA member outlets. None of this activity has thwarted the PVA's own moves to "legitimize our business," as Faustino Salud, association president, puts it. He himself has made attempts to secure the licenses for a number of major firms. But, he says, the majors weren't interested: "They feel that in relation to total business objective, the quantity we're talking about in a country like the Philippines isn't that much to bother about." Ed Sazon, secretary general of the Filipinas Movie Foundation and ,t general manager of Octa Films, e, bears this out.

Distributors have not helped, flooding the market with product, often overpriced and of highly vari- co able quality, and available through a bewildering range of rental schemes and price structures. By mid -1983, predicts Home Video Holdings' Peter Abbey, the ready supply of feature film product will dry up, not a moment too soon for some. Movie material still accounts for more than 90% of video software trade, and the question arises what sort of material will augment it. Television programming is the natural candidate, but the independent tv companies have so far released only a trickle of product, and the BBC is still locked in unproductive rights negotiations with the talent unions, its rich vaults almost wholly unexploited. Music on video is making increasing inroads, and record companies like Island, Virgin, Chrysalis, EMI and Stiff are contributing an increasing number of titles to add to those released by independent pioneers like VCL and Intervision. The economics of production are looking healthier. Home Video Holdings recently sold its Teddy Pendergrass special to Home Box Office for a ru- mored $250,000. But within the home video market alone, music accounts for only a few percent of trade. If anything can change this situation, it could be the videodisk. Phil- ips' LaserVision got off to a poor start here in May, but has since been launched nationally at a more competitive price -$700-and with a few more titles to swell the limited catalog. With high -quality stereo sound and picture quality, and a virtually indestructible disk, the potential is there. Sometime next year, barring further postponements, JVC's VHD system will also come to market, and Thorn EMI Video Programmes is one of those currently readying material specifically for videodisk.

But VHS still has roughly 70% of the market. In Switzerland, software programming is steadily improving, with such majors as Fox, CIC, Warner /United Artists and Thorn EMI represented nationally. Video stores and clubs still proliferate, and rental is still more popular than sale, with software sale prices for films rarely under the $60 retail "barrier." Big boxoffice movies sell mainly in the $100 -$125 range, but features are getting on videocassette faster than they did in 1981. Rental rates work out at between $6 and $10 a week, and video clubs levy annual memberships of between $50 and $75.

With the record and tape market, believed to be worth around $250 million annually, suffering a trading decrease of between 25% and 30 %, it might be confidently predicted that other leisure industries would also feel the pinch. But not so with domestic video. The industry claims to be worth $500 million a year, up from $200 million in 1980. It forecasts an annual turnover of $1.5 billion by 1985, including hardware sales. For a business that only began in earnest toward the end of 1979, the Australian video marketplace is an extraordinarily competitive one. There are only seven major record companies in this vast territory, yet there are already 15 home video companies claiming to belong in the "major" category. Frontrunners appear to be Video Classics, Rigby/ CIC, Thorn EMI, Star Video, 20th Century -Fox, Road Show and Warner Home Video, the latter restricting itself to rentals. Most companies cite a rental/ sales ratio of 80/20, which still allows for sales of up to 10,000 of some features, notably Star Video's "Emanuelle" series. Video Classics claims to have sold around 5,000 units of "Flash Gordon" in Aus- tralia. Average rental charge is $10 a night, with an $80 tape deposit. However, most of the high -profile outlets offer a discounted rate of around $5. And a number of video libraries are maintained by hardware retailers, art cinemas and video clubs. Membership in these libraries, which guarantees unlimited borrow- ing, in most cases can be secured for fees ranging from $230 down to nothing more than the purchase of a machine on which to play the software. Outright purchase of tapes is inhibited by a somewhat hefty price tag of around $85. Pornography, in varying degrees, accounts for an estimated 50% of the market in Australia, followed closely by adventure films and children's product. Educational, vintage movies and art film titles carve up the small remainder of the action. After two years, the home video industry in Australia has exploded "out of all proportion" in 1982, according to Elizabeth Croke, administration manager of Video Brokers, a 26 -store retail/rental chain in the state of New South Wales. This firm started operation with a single outlet just 18 months ago and now trades at over $15 million a year. Says Croke, "It's bigger than anyone expected it to be. The growth is just astronomical. It's taken every part of the industry by surprise, especially the hardware sector. "They order from Japan six or nine months ahead and have been caught out by the demand for machines. New shipments are being snatched off the shelves within days A DIVISION OF COLUMBIA PICTURES INDUSTRIES, INC., 2901 WEST ALAMEDA AVENUE, BURBANK, CALIFCRNIA °1505 of being unloaded at the docks. © 1987 COLUMBIA PICTURES INDUSTRIES INC. All RIGHTS RESERVED Quite a few brands of hardware are simply out of stock nationally." One of the most astounding effects of the video boom in Australia is the proliferation of retail outlets. Walter Lehne, owner of Video Clas- sics, says he services about 2,500 outlets, which is on a par with the average major record company in this territory. www.americanradiohistory.com 34 Vidcom Dutch Industry Stepping Up Battle Against Pirates By WILLEM HOOS to 70% of the prerecorded cassettes tributors set up an association to try lawyers, able to spot loopholes in the of prerecorded videocassettes in in the Dutch video marketplace to clean up the market.

Turnover from sale and rental figure will be doubled this year. In unit terms, 1 4 million blank videocassettes were sold in 1981. That figure should reach 2.5 million this year and 3.5 million by 1984. Video is clearly a growth industry to help offset a generally disappointing year in audio software. On the video hardware side, it's estimated there will be around 300,000 VCRs in domestic use in Holland by the end of the year -substantially less than earlier industry expectations. It was originally projected that there would be a yearend total of 375,000 VCR units in use. VHS takes 37% of VCR sales, according to the latest market research survey, with locally -based Philips close behind, and Beta in third place. Feature films take at least 65% of the software market. Pornography remains in second place (around 20 %), though it is technically illegal in the Netherlands. Nevertheless, it can be sold under certain conditions: no overt display and no sale to children under 16 are the main stipulations. Despite the usual problems, not least the economic situation -which has affected video in Holland less than most other European territories -it's very much a boom industry. The record companies, certainly at the multi -national and major independent levels, are fully behind video as a potential money-making area for the next few years. As video grows in Holland, there has been a proliferation of trade and consumer magazines reporting the scene. The count was at 16 earlier $O95 this year, and videocassette magazines have also entered the already - 9 crowded field.

A battle between the film industry and the record industry is looming. Caught in the middle are SGAE, the Span- ish society of authors, and the phonographic and video association of Spain (AFVE). Progress on a settlement is slow. But one encouraging innovation : has been the successful launch of the first Festival Of Video at San Sebas- tian, held at the same time as the long- established film festival, now in its 30th year. Over 260 tapes were shown, along with an exhibition and workshops centered on video. CGD Launches New Division MILAN -CGD Messaggerie Mu- sicali has opened a new corporate division, CGD Video Suono, to acquire, promote and sell various goods other than records and prerecorded tapes. Roberto Guerrazzi, former marketing manager of CGD Records, heads the new section. He says, "In view of the proliferation of technical innovations and general marketplace developments, it seemed common sense to expand our business over as wide a range as possible." CGD is already successfully involved in the sale of sheet music and musical instruments, the latter area dominated by the Casio keyboards line. But video is at the heart of the new division. The company has already finalized a deal with Crea- zioni Walt Disney for exclusive Ital- ian rental distribution of Disney videocassettes in traditional record retail outlets. Next major project for Video Suono is the distribution of videotape productions of the most important Italian league soccer matches. Guerrazzi also hopes to set license deals in motion for the distribution of videocassette movie packages and video games, again through record retail stores. www.americanradiohistory.com Retailing 41 MIDWEST' CHAIN Vid Store Wields Powerful Club Appletree Records Owners Call lt A Vital Link To Rental Customers Continued from page 18 ability via an add -on word process- 3 NIGHTS /4 DAYS ing module to more efficiently print l 2 3 4 5 I Is Holding the package along with the purchase catalogs and newsletters.

CHARTS Each record and artist has their own life cycle and that life cycle on Billboard's Country Charts is based on these factors: - the number of records to hit the Hot Country Singles; -the positions attained or achieved during the eligibility period (Sept. 12, 1981 to Sept. 4, 1982); - the length of time in weeks on the chart; Once a record debuts on the chart it receives a certain number of points. As the record moves up and down the chart it continues to accumulate points each week. When a record hits No. 1 it receives additional bonus points. For artists, the number of records to hit the chart, the highest position reached and the length of time on the chart determine their position on the W.O.C.M. chart and the overall winners in each category. At the end of the eligibility period, the history of each record that made the "chart" is reviewed. Our computer ranks each record and artist by the total number of points achieved during the specific period. That's how our winners are determined in all categories. For those artists and records that appear on this year's charts -congratulations. For those hits to come, we'll be looking for you next year!

(Photo by Chuck Pulin) On Higher Ground Continued from page WOCM -4 The touring front stayed relatively strong for country throughout 1982. Used to low overhead expenses and modest contract demands, country acts were able to stay busy on the live circuit. Their reasonable ticket prices were a natural hedge against flagging concert attendances which played havoc with rock shows. Booking agents and promoters found packaging an effective way to combine headliners, openers and mid -range acts and assure full houses ... and country acts agreed, for few are saddled with rock's overblown egos. For a while, it seemed that small independent labels were going to take the worst beating of all, unbuffered as they are by the financial security of the majors. Yet by late 1982, two new Nashville label ventures were announced: the rebirth of

Monument Records, with a CBS distribution pact; and Corn - pleat Entertainment, a new label formed by Charles Fach, Ir- win Steinberg and Bill Hall, linked with PolyGram for distribution.

TANDY RICE. President Top Billing International "The inflated prices some country superstars are charging have ruined it for the rest of our acts. Fairs that used to be able to dole out their talent budgets over six or eight acts now have to spend all their money on one or two headliners with exorbitant demands. It's greed, plain and simple. It's a blatant myth that you must have a record label or be on the charts in order to get good bookings. Our six top income -generators at Top Billing aren't even on labels."

Tom Collins Other new label enterprises finding their way onto the country charts included Town House, Main Street, AMI and Phila- delphia's Team Records. Music Corporation (BMI) Record companies in Nashville sighed, dug in their heels and started looking for alternative ways to break their artists. Without big promotional and marketing budgets to fall back on, labels showed greater selectivity in their signings. And Throughout 1982, country divisions suffered fewer staff cutbacks than their coastal counterparts; and since their oper- ational costs weren't as staggering, nor their recording budgets as inflated, Nashville record companies could keep profits Collins Court Music,lnc. up in the face of a worsening economy. It was certainly a favorable year for acts with more than one member, too, with every record company secretly hoping to unearth the next Alabama or Oaks. Thus, signed to majors (ASCAP) this year were the Younger Brothers, Shylo, Bandana and the Wright Brothers, among others. As the industry eases cautiously into 1983, country's greatest challenge may well come from within its own ranks rather than from any outside pressures. Of course it faces the same hurdles as the rest of the industry. But if 1982 goes down in the books as one the record business would just as soon forget about when all's said and done, country still stands on higher ground right now. It's an edge that should not be sacri- ficed for complacency or formula productions that could quickly make stale what once was fresh. Most important, country can't afford to forget that new artists, first and foremost, have always been the key to its success. Country has built its reputation over the years on a willing, open approach to breaking new talent. In the current economy, this becomes more of a challenge than ever, but one that's vital for country's survival. For every Karen Brooks or Lee Greenwood or Earl Thomas Conley who breaks through the ranks, country music stands to attract that many more new listeners ... listeners who, hopefully, will become buyers and thereby keep country's flame alive.

Kenny Rogers' tours are consistently among the top grossers on Billboard's Boxscore with sellout after sellout. Rogers and Willie Nel- son, with the added push of his pop hit "Always On My Mind," have broadened their audience extensively, as has Mandrell as the result of her former NBC variety show.
