NOVEMBER 25. 1961

The field of eountry music eonlinues to supply the pop market with many of its biggest hits and most talented performers. Mercury’s Leroy Van Dyke is one excellent example. His first Mercury release “Big Man In A Big House” was a solid coun- try hit. Then came “Walk On By” which hit the # 1 spot on the country charts and now seems to be headed for the same slot on the pop best seller list. Leroy also had a big hit some years ago on Dot duhhed “The Auctioneer.” Booked solid for fair dates and one nighters. Van Dyke’s first Mercury LP is being rushed into production and should be out in the near future. *‘THE NATION’S BEST SELLING RECORDS

RECORD COMPMIES ARE HEMAI!

Record companies are human. You can recognize them, get to know them, and after a while you can understand and judge them by their philosophy. Smash Records is human. Smash has always tried to operate in a manner that would give it prestige and respect. When Smash was born, it grew up under a philosophy of do it right or don't do it at all. Smash has been a choosey child and grew up to be a choosey and yet unselfish adult. The label has never glutted the market with unnecessary releases.

Smash felt, and still feels, the best way to get a good record release is to wait until the right artist comes along, then wait for the right song for that artist, and then, wait for the right time to issue that pairing.

This reoording by Cathy Carr, “Nein, Nein Fraulein," is the perfect example of the Smash philosophy. “The right artist—the right song—the right time.”

We feel that way about Cash Box and its Price Lists. They have been with us now for nineteen years and it doesn’t seem as though things will be the same without them. Our official announcement which ap- The pears elsewhere in the coin machine section this week reads that Cash Box will discontinue the Price Lists “since it no longer serves the purpose for which it was originally intended.” While this is an End accurate and wholly sensible reason for dropping the service, it reads rather harshly when the words are set in cold black print. Of An At the risk of bordering on the nostalgic, more than once the Price Lists have caught our eye and sent us off into a year when things were altogether Era different than they seem today. A 45 rpm juke box quote rings with so many memories, especially since it was the first machine to play 45’s after a genera- tion of 78 rpm record play. And how we thought about the confusion that would result!

An ancient arcade machine stirs memories of WWII and the shortages and the results that come about with shortages to say nothing of the taverns with weekly net figures that would stagger the imagi- nation.

The first shuffle alley with pins “similar to real bowling!” as they were advertised, listed among the hundreds of games produced since then recalls many pleasant moments. The evolution of the big- ball bowler and the step-by-step additions of the many attractions that make for added play is all told through the ledger-like lists that told the indus- try what a machine was worth. “Check the Cash Box Price List” was a remark made many times in many sections of the country before a sale was made. Cash Box Price Lists were the bible and everyone knew it. But today’s market has made it impossible to furnish this information on today’s equipment. As in many other industries, and in our very way of life in this day and age, things grow more and more complex. Until recently a ma- chine was quoted on by a dozen or more sellers who in turn created a market price for this machine. The resultant price was then reported, with a high and low figure to allow for the slight variance in prices, condition and territory. Today’s “slight variance” is no longer slight. It is the difference between what a buyer will pay for a machine in great demand, a machine that is completely renovated against the same machine which has been merely cleaned up, the difference between what a seller in Miami will sell it for as compared with the outlet in New York— or Los Angeles, or Hawaii. And the difference can sometimes be the difference between profit and loss. And here is where Cash Box, up until now, has been able to serve the industry with a weekly price that was the last word in trade circles. We_can no longer provide this service.

We hate to see it go for nostalgic reasons alone. But go it must, since, to return to the cold black type in this week’s issue, “it no longer serves the purpose for which it was originally intended.” —
