RADIO ACTION CONTINUED WRCN, LONG ISLAND, NY M.D.-JOHN GRAPPONE: "One of America's original rock and rollers stopped by to say hello and spin some of his favorite records. Gary U.S. Bonds was a blast. Cool, laid-back and funny...Well, we are down to the final stretch before '85 rolls around which means we start listening to the 3rd, 4th and 5th track from albums released this year...To be honest, there are not many out there that are that strong... We had to go with a second Don Henley track because the album is so deep. We are also looking toward a third one already...I wish EMI released 'Restless Heart' by John Waite before 'Dark Side Of The Sun'. It sounds so much better to nie.. .As for the newer stuff at WRCN, Philip Bailey has command over the phones. Young, old, male, female, he's covered all the bases...Triumph is starting to generate interest as well...I'm sorry to say that Joan Jett's album is not happening for us...Remember, be good. Santa is coming soon." KBLE, DES MOINES, IA P.D./M.D.-RON SORENSON: "ADDS: John Scofield, LaurieAnderson Ep,Bob Dylan 12", Foreigner 12", Jonzun Crew,Addreas Vollenweider...INCREASED ruir:- Planet P, Culture Club, WHAM!, Pat Benatar, Kinks, REO Speedwagon, Don Henley...As the torrent slows to a trickle, there are still two more to make room for: Dylan's 'Highway 61' is a timeless classic, and the current version with Mick Taylor on lead axe has the chops to cut it in album radioland...The Foreigner is such an obvious s-m-a-s-h that if you can't hear it, I'd suggest a visit to your friendly family physician to clear your ear!" KRVV, VAIL, CO M.D.-MARO SELBY: "We don't want to develop a reputation by association with the wrong kind of women, Madam X really makes Madonna look 'Like A Virgin' and we're a bit prudish at KRVV! So, under last week's miscellaneous adds, it was Madonna not Madam X with whom we should have been listed...Foreigner is our most exciting add this week--it is simple but strong." WWTR, OCEAN CITY, MD P.D.-RICHARD REMSBURG/M.D.-GLENN STEWART: "ADDS: John Hunter, Krokus, Foreigner 12", Kip Adotta 'Santa', Stone Fury...MOST REÇUISTED: Triumph, BiITY Idol -,-.5ep Purple...INCREASED PLAY: Philip Bailey... INCREASED SALES: Honeydrippers, Duran Duran"... FROM GLENN: "Is this a gospel record for Foreigner? Hallelujah! I love it! It's now the only rock record in existence that segs perfectly with Melanie's 'Lay Down'...It took a couple of spins and hearing it on the airwaves finally clinched it, but John Hunter's 'Tragedy' is an exquisite song and will be around for a long time!"...FROM RICHARD: "Inside Radio is the latest publication to take a look at the problem radio faces concerning the advertising of beer and wine and the movement to have it banned. I commented several weeks ago and I still would like to see some reaction in these Payes on how we should address the problem...Musically, it's great to see the legs that the 'Eddie & The Cruisers' Soundtrack has and I've also noticed a few 'Remind Me' songs on the playlist. 'Perfect Strangers' reminds me of 'Kashmir', and Triumph's 'Spellbound' reminds me of 'Snowblind'!" WYER, MT.

INCREASED PLAY: Deep Purple...The new Kinks Lp 'Word Of Mouth' is sensational. Although the Kinks have proved their longevity in the past, 'Word Of Mouth' could be their hottest to date! Ray Davies and friends have given us a solid rock Lp to prove they can do it again. 'Word Of Mouth' is definitely a welcome addition to the rock 'n roll Christmas list!"

'I Want To Know What Love Is' has got to be the ballad of the year. Good for upper demos, lower demos, male and female. We're on it h-o-t and heavy... Philip Bailey was an easy choice and goes into h-o-t this week. That's a classic cut!...Is the Kinks Lp going to be around for a while, or what? We're just thrilled with the album. We're heavy on 'Do It Again' and we've got 'Good Day' and 'Word Of Mouth' up front too...Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit continue to ride the tide of our Eagles weekend two weeks ago...And, though we're on 'Two Tribes' on the Frankie Goes to Hollywood Lp, our jocks and listeners seem to like 'You're The Only Star In Heaven' almost enough to make me switch tracks...Thanks to Larry Bole from Warner Bros. for sending me to see Rickie Lee Jones in Cleveland on my birthday. She was nothing less than exquisite, fabulous, outstanding and about 25 other adjectives too!" CHEZ, OTTAWA, CN M.D.-GREG TORRINGTON: "ADDS: Philip Bailey...CONSIDERING: Foreigner...

WBLM, LEWISTON/PORTLAND, ME M.D.-TOM WALLACE: "Foreigner's new song is superb! Is this the best thing they've ever done or what? That choir is hauntingly beautiful and who is that soulful back-up vocalist? In short, I'm enthused...We went with John Hunter's 'Tragedy' this week. It's perfect upper demo stuff, and besides that, it's a great tune. Love that piano!...Bowie's 'Tonight' is once again gracing our airwaves. A very classy duet...We did a silly Thanksgiving promotion called 'Dinner On The Mayflower' where a lucky winner and a few friends chowed down to a catered feast in the back of a Mayflower moving van! Predictable? Yes, but we got great newspaper and TV coverage out of it!" WFAL, BOWLING GREEN, OH M.D.-LORI WENSITS: "ADDS: Triumph, General Public, Autograph, Philip Bailey, REO Speedwagon...CONSIDERING: Fashion, Planet P...MOST REQUESTED: Bruce Springsteen, Whitesnake, John Parr, Don Henley...INCREASED PLAY: Julian Lennon...INCREASED SALES: The Honeydrippers, Deep Purple, Toto...

'ers, and ought to be quite prosperous this holiday season!" .
