SOLID GOLD IN '72-Last year, the MCA labels together piled up an all-time high of 12 Gold Records among albums and four Gold singles. Overall, according to label president Mike Maitland, the sales and profit figures for 1972 surpass the net figures of any previous year in the record company's history. To have improved over 1971 is a remarkable achievement since that was the year of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and a gigantic one. The new figures will be made public in MCA's next corporate statement, in which MCA record and tape sales will be broken out for the first time. "Our success last year," Maitland points out, "can be traced to better net sales and to our enormously improved distribution pattern, which now makes us an 100% branch company."

THE NEW MCA LABEL-"We introduced the new label with an Elton John single and a Neil Diamond album, both of which went immediately to Gold. What better way to launch a label! "lt means, too, that we will now be represented world-wide by just two labels-MCA and the medium -price -to -budget Coral label." (MCA has owned rights to the Decca label in the U.S. and Canada but not, say, in the im- portant English market. Conversely, MCA has been a recognized label else- where in the world since 1969 but not here.) According to Rick Frio, MCA's marketing vice president, all new product-includ- ing an upcoming album from Cher and Loretta Lynn's just -released "Entertainer of the Year" LP-will be issued under the MCA logo, and all existing product will be gradually shifted over as stocks are depleted.

THE OTHER NEW LABELS-Maitland and his A&R vice president Artie Mogull (Top Photo) have just announced two new label deals, one with Al Kooper's Atlanta -based Mike Maitland and Rick Frio Sounds of the South, in which MCA shares as a partner, and Rocket Records, owned by MCA superstar Elton John, which the company will distribute in the (Center Photo) U.S. and Canada. Rick Frio and Artie Mogull Says Mogull, "We should have a Sounds of the South single out in about three weeks and an LP in eight. Our first Rocket releases, by Elton's lead (Bottom Photo) guitarist Davey Johnstone and by a young English band called Longdancer, Vince Cosgrave and Pat Pipolo should be in release by the end of next month. "Then later on, we'll be distributing the Track label, which will feature the in- dividual members of -Peter Townshend, John Entwhistle, Rager Daltrey and Keith Moon."

THE EXISTING CATALOG-Admitting that in the past the company has to some extent neglected its catalog, Maitland is presently spearheading a drive to make the most of it in continuing sales. First order of business is to convert the MCA/Decca DX double -record sets to a 'twofer" series competitively priced at $6.98 list. The company's vault and catalogs are being researched by Milt Gabler, who worked on the original DXs and who, for the new sets, will see that they offer memorabilia -gatherers all they need by way of background on the recordings. Comments MCA Sales Vice President Vince Cosgrave, "We've got one of the strongest catalogs in the history of the recording industry, and we in- tend to cultivate it fully." Pat Pipolo, Vice President of Promotion, adds, "The success we have seen in the contemporary and country fields has not detracted from our interest in the promotion and sales of MCA's catalog." In addition, noted jazz critic Leonard Feather has been commissioned to come up with a dozen album concepts reaching back into MCA's jazz cata- log. Some of these will turn up as twofers, others as special packages.

ON THE INTERNATIONAL FRONT-With almost no area of the world unaccounted for vis-a-vis MCA representation, Mike Maitland is on record as being vitally in- terested in overseas markets: "Our catalog assures us of being a major force in Europe and elsewhere in the world."

WHAT ELSE FOR '73?-There are some major decisions to come to, like which way to go on quad. But essentially, Maitland puts it this way: "We've undergone considerable reorganization in the past year or more, so our goal, now that we've put the new crew together, is to make it function. In many ways we're a 'new' company. Our purpose is to concentrate on our own product and to grow as manufacturers and distributors of that product."

Sales and operating income for the year reached a new high of $370,427,000, a 9.6 per cent gain over 1971 sales and operating income of $337,888,000. Net earn- ings climbed 10 per cent to $10,906,000, equal to $1.82 per share on 6,000,000 shares outstanding.

Canteen will continue to take advantage of growth opportunities inherent in the improving economic climate." Capital expenditures for 1972 rose to $26,095,000 from $20,557,000 reported for the previous year, and accordingly, net income benefitted from the POflG resulting investment tax credit to the extent of $1,368,000 compared with $620,- 000 for 1971.
