AN OPEN LETTER TO THE INDUSTRY

In the past year, to the best of our knowledge, only one single has hit a million: Elvis Presley's "Are You Lonesome Tonight ?" Actually, there have been several No. 1 singles In the past few months that have not even hit half -a- million sales! We're all concerned about the badly sagging sales of singles. Everyone realizes our Industry needs singles *sales. They're vital to our business, What can we.do about it? Warner Bros. Records this week introduces to all members of the lnd»srty a revolutionary new con- cept in singles. We call it the SINGLE

What "PLUS 2" means is this. Customers get not only the usual two new songs per single, but also the two "Oldies" (past hits of the artists) -all for the sanie price as an ordinary single. One single with 4 songs for the price of 2. Everyone gets more from this: CONSUMER: Gets two more songs for the same price. And when the aawtum er catches on to the value, and sales go up...and up...and then... DEALERS: Get' more sales at today's normal discount structure...

We Invite...we urge other manufacturers (many of whom can benefit more than us because of their greater store of "Oldies ") to join In this project to reactivate and stimulate the singles business. There is a future to the singles business. Everyone will benefit. The "PLUS 2" SINGLE may well be the revolution we've all been waiting fo,

'+3 - SEPTEMBER 4, 1961 BILLBOARD MUSIC WEEK 37 'Plus 2' Gets Wait And See Action Continued from page 1 is distributed by WB): "I'm going to wait and see. If it works out the way Jim Conkling expects It to, I'll follow in a short period of time. His theory may be right. However, I harbor a little different theory as to why singles don't sell. Personally, I feel that singles sales depends upon the quality of the record itself, and the magnitude of the record's potential. There are a lot of smaller hits today than in the past, and buyers have a greater choice of hits from which to make their selections. If the quality of the recording is there, then you'll have a hit, but if it's as big a hit as it would have been when there were fewer ones on the market, is still another story." Del -Fi President Bob Keene said: "You can't merchandise singles. A single record is a fad and you can't merchandise fads. We have to go back to the star system, and give them talent, not gimmicks. The only thing that will put singles back into business is to build new stars, because they create excitement." Considering Plan Jimmy Johnson, head of the Walt Disney labels, Disneyland and Vista, said: "It's an ingenious plan to take care of the singles business, and we're definitely considering it for future GET ON/THE RIGHT releases on the Vista label." Said Dot President Randy Wood, after hailing Conkling for his efforts toward finding a solution to the industry's singles sales problem: "You can put out a one -sided single and get $1.50 for it if it's what the buyer really wants. It's what you give him, and not how much you give him that counts." TRACK FOR PROF Commented Era Records' President Herb Newman: "They /TS buy only one tune. If it's a hit recording, they want it. If it's not, you can give them 10 other tunes, and it won't make any difference. It's hard enough to make profits on records as it is without lessening the profits. There's nothing wrong with the singles business. Sure, sales are off, but so are sales in all other fields." WITH THE CAPITOL Liberty Records President Al Bennett said: "The 'Plus 2' is not going to make the public buy more records. We, the record manufacturers, cannot Increase our costs. What's more, it won't increase business. There's nothing wrong with the way we're pricing records today." Reprise Records' chief executive, Mo Ostin, said: "I don't KIDDIE4JNEI FOR THE think giving the buyer a bonus track is the answer. Some labels have put out EP's as an 88 -cent price item but it didn't do anything to stimulate the EP business. I'm for anything that will stimulate the singles business, but I don't believe this is it. The singles sales answer is not in the price but in the material. "Those are the fact of life in this business, and we have FIR S T TIME ON 3314, at to face them." Might Lose Oldie Comment from other sectors of the industry paralleled manufacturer views. Howard Judkins Sr., president of the So- ciety of Record Dealers, and himself a dealer (Garden Grove's Judkins Music Company), said: "I can see advantages and FABULOUS LOW PRICES disadvantages to this approach. If all the other manufacturers were to jump into this, it could very well stimulate singles sales generally. However, as a dealer, I can see where it can hurt us. We are selling oldies in volume- around 100 in the oldies class per week -and if manufacturers were to give away you can get all the kiddie albums that sold in the millions on 78's. This some of these oldies on their bonus tracks, these are sales we would lose. The question remains whether the sale loss would is a sure-fire móney -maker that will sell better today than ever before. be made up by what we would gain if the singles business could be stimulated." likj Bozo and Bugs Bunny are now more popular than ever. Said Clyde Wallichs, head of the giant Music City stores: Characters "I don't think it's going to help very much. Giving them the old tune as a bonus means as much to the single buyer as an What's more,these albums are selling at NEW LOW PRICES! old record. When a single is old, buyers don't want it, and it has zero value." Unquestionably, this is the greatest kid's catalog in the industry today! California Music's Sammy Ricklin, this area's top one -stop, t said: "The singles business certainly needs something to revitalize i it, it. but this isn't Furthermore, juke box operators won't go i for it. They don't like taking up time on their machines by giving more music than the customer is paying to hear." Several broadcasters contacted in the area said they will wait and see before making a definite policy decision.

NEW YORK -Meanwhile, in New York, Columbia Records Marketing Vice -President Bill Gallagher opined that the "Plus 2" plan "is quite similar to EP merchandising. I foresee problems both with juke box operators and in radio," he commented. "It's doubtful that radio stations -particularly 'Top 40' outlets -will program a second track. Also, the EP market to date certainly hasn't been a big one. However, we welcome any innovations to stimulate the singles market, and will watch it carefully." One of the programming problems that might arise from the "Plus 2" singles, according to a key New York deejay, is that it will make it more difficult to cue in a transcribed commercial. Heretofore, stations merely let a record keep spin- ta0 3251 Woody Woodpecker and His Talent $2.98 13255 Ru ty in Orchestraville $1.98 Show (Record Readers) ning while they cued in the transcription, but with the "Plus 2" 13256 Lit le Toot and other Walt Disney $1.98 ist 3252 Walt Disney's The Three Little Pigs $2.98 Favorites disks, they'll have to pick the needle up fast to keep the second (Record Readers) 13257 Bus Bunny and His Friends $1.98 band from cutting in on a commercial. 1A0 3259 Bozo at the Circus (Record Readers) $2.98 Syd Goldberg, vice -president of Decca Distributing Cor- 13253 Walt Disney's The Sorcerer's $1.98 13258 Bible Stories $1.98 Apprentice poration, said, "SVe arc watching Jim Conkling's move for what MAY Bozo at the Circus 133.1/2 Compact $2.35 13254 Sparky's Magic Piano $1.98 3030 Do blet it may be worth. However, we believe there is nothing really rI wrong with the record business that a hit won't cure, and fortunately we've been enjoying hits." Arnold Maxin, president of MGM Records, noted that "The idea is not really new. I know that Victor at one time gave a lot of thought to this approach. The consensus then seemed to be that adding past hits to a record could be a deterrent to sales, if the buyer already happened to have the past hit in his library. Giving something for nothing is not necessarily the answer. It might be a better idea to add a couple of throw -away sides that might not ever warrant release by them- selves but which might provide a concept of getting extra value for the money."

Service Heads Danes' List COPENHAGEN -Danish coin machine operator associa- tions, alarmed at the inroads being made in a number of neigh- boring countries by location ownership, have made superlative service a priority project of their organizations. An operator of- ficial explained, "In every operator organization anywhere you will have alert, enterprising operators and the sleepy fellows who just barely hold on. This latter group are the ones who have to be prodded. They are slack about service standards, and they help to give all operators an unfavorable reputation," Operation education is handled tactfully, and associations try to bring the operator the latest technical information which will help him improve service. Proposals have been made that operator asso- ciations should establish revolving funds for buying out members who desire to sell but cannot find a purchaser. Studies show that dispirited operators wanting out stint on service and slide into a cycle of disaster. However, operator associations should be able to bail out such operators with permanent machinery for this purpose. SOME 22 OPERATORS from St. Louis were guests of the Seeburg factory recently for a day of service and sales talks, factory tours and a dinner and cocktail hour.
