The system is called Music Manager (Musicman for short) and has been developedincollaboration withthe System Simulation Ltd computer consultancy. Musicmanusesfloppydiscstorage andisbuiltintoanadvanced microcomputer system called Proteus. Wilkinson stresses that the software has been specially designed for the record business to give the retailer a fast and reliable method of keeping accurate, day-to-day records of stock levels, sales histories, order positions and summaries of that information, for up to 13,000 titles. Musicman anticipates the end of RRP by allowing the shop to put into the system its own price code. Knowing the profit level wanted on a title (eg: low profit, full profit, etc), the dealer price and any extra discount which may apply, the computer automatically prints out a correct price ticket for every record being put into stock at any given time. At a time which is still regularly seeing record dealers go under because they have been unable to keep track of gross profit margins, Wilkinson feels that Musicman's ability to work this out at whatever interval is required, could save some businesses from trouble. The microcomputers and the software, plus running and maintenance, would cost about £10,500. Purchase or hire cost of hardware (one is needed in each stage of a chain), would lessen with additional units taken. The unit has the latest kind of plasma screen, which was developed to be more easily readable from different angles and to be less tiring to the eyes of an operator. Wilkinson, who can be contacted at 01-228 2275, believes that Musicman can earn its keep and make a profit for any dealer whose turnover is about (150,000 per year or more.

ONE CONTINUING battle being fought by American retailers is the attemptbylocalauthoritiestobanthesaleofdrug -related paraphernalia in record stores. The loss of such business, particularly in view of the sluggish record market, would be significant to many dealers. Anti -paraphernalia statutes have been passed in some states and THER now a test case will go to court in Cleveland, fought by Record Revolution's Peter Schliewen. In fact, the courts thought the issue vital enough and Schliewen's claims concerning potential loss of business so convincing, that hearings have been moved up to June, rather than the usual two years it takes for such cases to be heard.

Capitol's American repertoire has provided hits not only in the UK but advertising. We always want to deliver the goods by charting the record Music press writers in the UK have consistently "knocked The Knack" across Europe. and getting good sales via a tour. Often the bands go home absolutely since "My Sharona" as a result of the critics apparent need to find deeper Yet they are not necessarily the same hits or from the same acts that have enjoyed success in this country. Each territory has an individual musicaltaste,plusspecialaspectstomarketing,promotion and distribution - and taking account of all these is Kick Klimbie. The territories he covers are Scandinavia, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the Benelux countries, Italy, France and Spain, plus the smaller territories Greece,Israel and Portugal. He regularly holds European meetings and himself visits three or four countries at a time every six to eight weeks to showcase new material. Klimbie has witnessed a "dramatic increase" in sales of Capitol product during the last six months but reports that it is not spread evenly throughout Europe. "There are some countries with large populations but which are not such large markets for various reasons such as high price. In this country because the market is so big there is a broad acceptance of almost all types of music, while there are enormous differences in taste abroad. "McGuinn and Hillman, America and Graham Nash, for instance, do very well in Latin countries - yet these same countries have almost no Heavy Metal market." The company concentrates on 10 to 15 acts in Europe so that each artist can be worked on thoroughly and this process begins only after some success in the US has been achieved. But not every artist is at the same stage of development in each country. "There can be a big difference in release dates," explains Klimbie. "When The Knack were touring recently, Italy and Spain were working on My Sharona, whereas in other countries Baby Talks Dirty was the current single. Klimbie acknowledges the benefits of having touring artists and concert appearances have become more and more part of the overall marketing strategy. "We try to break an artist in one territory first and then use that as a base for a European tour," he explains. "That happened recently with Sammy Hagar who was already established in the UK but also visited the rest of Europe. It was the other way around for Lee Clayton whose tour was based on success inItaly, Germany, France and Scandinavia which justified a concert here. We try hard to get a crossover from one country to another." The individual approach applies also to marketing and promotion. "There is only government controlled radio in some countries and several have more than one chart. "You have to find different ways to break an act. In England you must do concerts. In Europe a TV programme is all important, followed up with a tour. In Holland, for example, you must have a film clip for the important TV pop show in order to break an act. "It's also interesting that in this country you release a single first and then an album about six weeks later. Whereas in France they might just release an album straight off - even from an artist like Bob Seger - and then follow it up, maybe two months later, with a single. "Each country has its own marketing campaigns, even down to the size of posters it uses. Then of course there are the language differences to take into account." Klimbie is very confident in the current artist roster and feels that American repertoire will always be strong. "The level of US acts generally is very good - even the ones that haven't broken in the States. They always have a chance over here because they are very professional and are used to touring constantly in the States. "We started with Moon Martin and The Motels in October and they

meaning to many of the Knack's songs! Only Sandy Robertson of Sounds seems to have caught on: "There's virtually no point in analysing this record as if it were some freshly discovered manuscript by James Joyce. The Knack are an extension of The Monkees, only more honourable because they invented

themselves . . . they may be devoid of the naive faith that powered some of rock's earlier heroes, the idea that a 3 -minute tune could change the world, but that doesn't stop The Knack from making great pop records."

ANNE MURRAY has been one of the most consistent album sellers for Capitol ever since her first success with her debut Snowbird ten years ago. The Canadian singer has been elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville and last year edged out Donna Summer, Olivia Newton -John and Barbra Streisand to win a Grammy as Best Pop Female Singer of the Year. Anne Murray's latest album Somebody's Waiting was again produced by Jim Ed Norman and the record confirms her as one of the most enduring vocal talents. This summer Anne Murray will have her own star placed in the sidewalk on Hollywood's Walk Of Fame, along with film giants such as Charlie Chaplin and rock superstars Fleetwood Mac. In the Autumn Anne Murray will be here for a promotion tour, with TV appearances and radio and press interviews. This trip will set the stage for a big UK tour currently being set up for Spring 1981.

BOB SEGER. When Bob Seger played in the UK two years ago, the London performance was hailed by many to be the best live gig of the late Seventies. This enthusiasm was matched by the reaction of the manager of the Hammersmith Odeon - he had a letter to Seger published in Melody Maker,inviting the rock star back to the theatre to play again! More recently in his reviews of the latest album Against The Wind, Hugh Fielder ofSoundswrote: "Whether he's roaring at full tilt with his superb band or going down through the gears to more plaintive, soulful ballads he's an immensely powerful live performer who's worked hard to capture that essence on vinyl." Bob Seger's biggest selling UK album to date is the 100,000 seller Stranger In Town which came out in May 1978. All the Seger albums are strong steady sellers, notably Beautiful Loser, Night Moves, and the exciting live double album Live Bullet. Seger's total sales in the UK exceed

1/4 million albums . . . quite an achievement for an artist who has never had a major chart single and has only played here once! The title track from the Against the Wind album has just been released here as a single, and Capitol are anxiously awaiting news on UK dates for 1980 appearances by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band.

DR HOOK. Because of their unique appearance, people have become so familiar with Dr Hook that they suffer from the misconception that the 4 nne Murray band has been around for a long, long time - when in reality the group have only been together since the early seventies. Perhaps it's also the impressive string of hits that makes Dr Hook seem like one of the rock originals for under the inspirational guidance of producer/manager Ron Haffkine they have scored with Sylvia's Mother, Cover Of The Rolling Stones, A Little Bit More, Only Sixteen, When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman and most recently Sexy Eyes. Often tagged as "outrageous" they delight audiences with zany tunes like I Got Stoned And I Missed It and Freakin' At The Freakers Ball interspersed among their hits. They have constantly broadened their appeal and they are able to carry off a wide range of styles from rock and roll to pop and country. Their recent sell out UK tour confirmed their great popularity, when each night they performed for a solid 2 hours! Dr Hook comprises of Ray Sawyer (he's the one with the eye patch), lead vocals and guitar, Dennis Loccorriere, lead vocals and guitars; Bill Francis, vocals and keyboards; Rick Elswit, vocals and guitar; Rod Smarr, vocals and guitar; Jance Garfat, vocals and Bass; and John

Wolters, vocals and drums.

LITTLE RIVER BAND. Having quickly conquered the Australian music scene The Little River Band have successfully set about taking the US by storm - and next on the list is the UK, with a TV and live appearances set for the early summer. The public will be able to judge the live qualities of this slick rock band for themselves with the release of Backstage Pass - a live double featuring numbers drawn from their first four albums. Formed in 1975 The Little Riverand is made up of Glenn Shorrock, lead vocals; Beeb Birtles, vocals, coustic and electric guitar; David Briggs, lead guitar; Graham Goble,ocals, accoustic and electric guitar; and Derek Pellicci, drums and percuion.

WORDS BY DAVID DALTON - LAY -OUT BY CREAM

SAMMY HAGAR. In the vanguard of Capitol's Heavy Metal assault on the U.K. is Sammy Hagar. The former lead singer with Montrose had achieved little chart success here until he toured last September and realised he could dish up the sort of heavy rock that is currently rattling the cash registers at record shops. For his most recent sell-out tour last month Capitol was eager to have fresh product in the shops and with Danger Zone not available until May, they decided on a special live package - Loud And Clear. Seven of the eight tracks were featured on the now deleted All Night Long LP. The album was deleted because it was felt that no Hagar live set was complete without Space Station No 5 and so Hagar recorded the track live specially for the UK. The album sleeve was also completely redesigned and features live shots of Hagar and his band taken during his British tour last year. This special UK disc was in the chart for two months and successfully kept the momentum going for the tour. Martyn Cox comments: "His early solo albums were a mixture of rock and ballads but it was obvious to us that heavy rock was what would really work for him in this country and we geared our whole visual

approach to that harder edge." shows prompted promoter John Curd to set up a second tour. Cox and Capitol recognised that fact last year and set about building Sammy Hagar returned this April for the 11 gig 'Loud & Clear' Tour, up his image as a rock star louder and heavier than any other Heavy which included 2 nights at Hammersmith Odeon. By this time the 'Loud Metal hero. They planned to launch Hagar on stage and on disc & Clear' album had charted at No 25 and moved up to 12. simultaneously in September. Cox reports: "The album has now achieved sales of 40,000, and this Cox continues: "We were almost immediately faced with a problem. demonstrates dramatically the effect of touring on an album which had The cover of the Street Machine album was designed in the States and the actually come out in a slightly different form two years before! image presented was in our opinion a little tame for the intended audience "1 feel particularly proud of our successes with Sammy Hagar.

Thankyou Sam were my favourites!" Hagar's latest studio album Danger Zone has just been released on The result of all this activity was a chart entry for the Street Machine both sides of the Atlantic, and the single Heartbeat/Love or Money is album - straight in at No 38 - and the excitement generated by Hagar's already moving up the UK charts.
