Model SQ-40, at about $79, is a decoder which will be available in limited quantities this month or early next, with initial produc- tion to be manufactured in the U.S., said Milt Selkowitz, director of Masterworks.

In short, Columbia's SQ concept is compatible with any decoder.) All of Columbia's quadrasonic equipment is oriented toward both disk (matrix) and tape discrete). "SQ is truly compatible with existing home, broadcast and stu- dio equipment," Selkowitz said. "An SQ record, for example, will play like a regular two -channel stereo disk on any system equipped for standard stereo.

MARTIN AUDIO CORP., 320 West 46th St., N.Y. 10036 (212) 265 -6470 Profiled in Billboard almost a year ago (Sept. 26, 1970), Curtis at that time had figured on ex- pansion. He had already re- trenched from a truck operation calling on stores all over southern Illinois. But about the only similarity between then and now is the sales success of his top auto 8 -track unit at $79.95, including two speakers. Today, Curtis' staff is far more likely to trade up the customer to $11.95 Utah speakers, or maybe even a $39.95 pair of The 16 hour Utah or Truesonic speakers. More than likely, the customer will be pitched on a home unit, too, where Curtis' best margins exist. He has Pioneer models such as the SX990 selling for as high as $269.95 (a stereo receiver) and reports his best home model to be Electrophonic's AM /FM multiplex amachine phono changer /8 -track combina- tion. "We're the only self-servicing dealer in the area and can get $20 more than the discount stores show- ing the same brands." Other major sellers are universal mounts or slide mounts so players can go from auto to home. "We don't even promote car mounts anymore and have it even on our low -end $49.95 Automatic Radio car unit," he said. Most car stereo customers to- day, Curtis said, have had at least one player stolen. He claims that as high as 50 percent of parts re- quests are for stolen machines. "We make customers bring in players by telling them we need to know what kind of power plug or mounting bracket the player re- quires. This way, we see the player and can compare it to a 'hot list' we maintain. We've helped police recover many players." (Continued on page 27) Tape Happenings

www.americanradiohistory.com THE LAST TIME CHUCK MANGIONE LED THE ROCHESTER PHILHARMONIC, HE LED THEM RIGHT UP THE CHARTS. THIS TIME THEY'RE GOING EVEN FURTHER. TOGETHER.

"Friends & Love," Chuck Mangione's first live concert album with the Rochester Philharmonic, was not only a unsque synthesis of jazz, rock, blues and soul, it was also a very moving ex- perience. It moved right up the charts and stayed there for 19 weeks. Chuck has harnessed the same forces that created that first album to create a second 2- record, live concert set. It's called "Together," and it picks up where "Friends & Love" left off. It's the same group of solid, inventive musicians playing the same brand of startling, innovative music. Together. Maybe "Friends & Love" proved that people are finally ready for music that doesn't fit any of the conventional labels. Or maybe it just proved that people simply like listening to good music, no matter what it's called. One thing's for sure, that first album proved that people are ready for Chuck Mangione, his band, and the Rochester Philharmonic. "To- gether," on Mercury.

To cut an SQ disc, all four channels of a quadraphonic master tape are passed through an SQ Encoder. The two front channels are re- corded exactly like those of a regular stereo record. The Encoder also produces two modes of helical modulations for the left and right rear channels. On playback, a special SQ Decoder senses the four basic SQ modulations and produces four new signals for astonishingly realistic reproduction of the original quadraphonic master tape. This is not just laboratory theory ... it's actual, in -the- home reality. You can buy the SQ Decoders and De- coder /Amplifiers right now without making your present stereo library obsolete. With SONY manufacturing skill' and high quality standards behind it, you can trust this new SQ equipment to deliver the thrilling best in quadraphonic disc entertainment to a delighted market.

Thus it is almost always a question of the record companies using their promotion staffs to try to per- suade producers to broadcast certain disks and engage certain artists.

In fact pop music usually gets a reasonable deal from the radio stations but the programming on TV is far more limited. ZDF has one pop programme a week -"ZDF Hit Parade" -and the ARD stations have "Studio B" which introduces new records by new and established artists. Strangely enough the bulk of pop programming on radio is taken up by foreign material. Few German stations have programs of German songs such as Radio Munich's weekly show. The growth of discotheques in Germany and the flourishing jukebox industry have both provided in- creased opportunities for the promotion of records, The tape 'Afa the bavie ?Dom particularly international repertoire. However, the disco- theques are by far the more effective of the two since the jukeboxes tend to feature already established hits. WG-6 Spotlight on West Germany OCTOBER 16, 1971, BILLBOARD

www.americanradiohistory.com Tape Sales Continued from page WG -4 EMI takes care of 3 percent, according to the statistics of i Music 2000. "The percentage we have gained through this latter outlet does not seem to indicate much success," Danne- berg says. "But as musicassettes in cars didn't really ELECTROA begin until 1968, it is only natural that there are still many more radios in cars than cassette players." Heinz Brand puts the number of cassette -equipped cars -out of a total of 16,000,000 cars on the roads in Germany -at between 80,000- 100,000. With regard to 8 -track cartridges, Brand feels that "there is a pretty obvious disregard for them in Ger- many." First, no German company is manufacturing hard- ware. Secondly, not even U.S. Army PX shops were recording much in the way of sales. "Not interested," is the comment of M. Hensch, of Philips' marketing department. Leif E. Kraul, managing director and president of Metronome Records GmbH, thinks, however, that "we will have to be awake to the potentialities of the 8 -track field." Although the turnover was at present small and below 3 percent of the whole pre- recorded tape business, "the few who are active in this market of undoubted quality are not burdened with too much competition," adds Kraul. Hensch, Brand and Kraul all agree that there have been no signs that record sales had suffered because of the pre- recorded tape business. In Kraut's opinion: "The disk is unbeatable because of its technical perfec- tion." Brand and Danneburg are of the opinion that the compact tape system has proved to be based on an "ideal sound carrier which promises further develop- ment in the near future on the same scale as the development which has taken place in the past." A more forecast for 8 -track is made by Auto Stereo -Anlagen, a leading cartridge rack -jobber, based in Frankfurt. Auto Stereo, owners of the Berlin custom duplicator ITP, recently acquired the exclusive distribu- tion rights of the audio-tape range of magnetic tape product from Germany, Holland, Denmark and Switzer- land. Commenting on his company's first large -scale pro- motion in the form of a package deal, joint manager Gottlieb Bauer -Schlichtegroll says Auto Stereo has ob- tained "excellent results" therefrom. The project was YOUR started in the spring of this year via EREF Electronic of Scandinavia, with whom it has signed an exclusive agreement for the distribution of the AMS and ASA labels on 8 -track and cassette through EREF's affiliates in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. SUCCESS As far as the future development of tape music is concerned, the spokesmen for Music 2000 think that by 1975 musicassettes will constitute 50 percent of the record retailing business. This will not, however, involve any decrease in the I\ GERI\N\NY number of records sold, but simply a change in market structure and turnover. Another reason for thinking that taped music is be- coming a more important proposition than ever is the IS fact that the first musicassette jukebox is soon to come onto the maket. With the ordinary jukebox market, an average of 10,000,000 singles and LP's are bought annually by coin machine operators.

German Artists ELECTROLA Continued from page WG -1 the English and American hit-parades, a thing which is naturally very favaurable to foreign artists in Ger- many. "However, the foreign market doesn't bother to find out anything about the German hit -parade. There- fore as long as this situation continues (and it has been the case for a long time) how can more German artists have success abroad? Quality and originality are very important factors abroad, more decisive in fact, than here at home." Metronome director Leif E.

R "We are very proud to be part of the biggest record company in the world, and we are aware of the great responsibility and obligation resulting from this fact." ASONA 0 MUNICH -Thanks to 10 years of hard work and no little skill, the Munich firm of Asona has etsablished an impressive reputation of some esteem in the so- called N "one -hand tape duplicating" market. Thanks to the efforts of its owner, Herr Kuerzeder, Asona developed a highly -successful endless-loop tape- copying machine E which utilizes a normal -size quarter -inch lubricated tape. Asona's tape- duplicating machine operates on an H endless -loop principle. The endless loop is fed onto the machine by a special winding device which, like the endless -loop machine itself, works in a simple-to- operate A fashion. Rewinding is done on the same machine. The endless tape is used together with a Revox tape re- corder which, for the purpose, is linked to a cassette N slave -all in the one single unit. The equipment has been specially designed for edu- cational purposes and costs less than 9,000 marks. D However, the Munich company has been able to offer not only a complete duplicating line, but also various other kinds of cassette loaders. Kuerzeder first began manufacturing duplicating machines in 1961. During the first four years of per- fecting the new system, Kuerzeder concentrated on the educational potentialities of the machines, with particu- ASONA - DUPLICATING - SYSTEM lar regard to libraries at blind schools.

The Ansona company sells 20 complete cassette - duplicating machines a year, all over Europe, as well as in those other countries which are at present involved in starting production in this field (e.g. Manila, Teheran). For 1972, Kuerzeder has produced a new and very cheap system for manufacturing 8 -track cartridges. The ,s`i system is ready to commence operations.
