By AARON STERNFIELD NEW YORK-Vanguard's $3.50 list price on its new Cardinal Series of classical and semi- classical records may be a major step in establishing a new pricing structure for the industry. The move comes a week after Elektra's announcement that its new classical line, Checkmate, will carry the $3.50 list. Both class- ical labels are stereo only, and both employ the new Dolby system of recording. Herb Corsack, Vanguard sales manager, explained that the new price was dictated by the new economics of the industry, with full list product moving slowly and budget product failing to give adequate profit margins for the manufacturer. Speeding up the price change is the recent price equalization development, with monaural and stereo listing for the same price - $4.79. Corsack pointed out that with the spate of new low- priced classical lines offering top quality product for $2.50 or less, clas- Bert Kaempfert adds to his best -selling string of Decca hits Joe Tex has his 14th chart -buster in a row with his new Hands" (4061).
