FORMAT In Net Role SAUK RAPIDS, Minn.-FOR- MAT, the regional newsletter dis- tributed monthly to Intercollegiate Broadcasting System stations in the Midwest, has assumed the role of newsletter for the entire IBS network of college broadcasting facilities.

Tom Karnowski, a college radio veteran who is now music director and air personality at WJON in St. Cloud, Minn., will continue as FORMAT's editor. In the first nationally distributed issue of the magazine, Karnowski outlined the magazine's goals in terms of pro- viding an accuiate view of what IBS stations are playing, via a "hypbrid Bill Gavin -Bob Hamilton- Kal Rudmar type tip sheet"; re- views of new product available for campus airplay; a column, "Free Forum," which will assist in main- taining station service, offer a for- mat for equipment trading and sales, and handle requests for pro- gramming materials; news relating to campus news coverage, the broadcast industry and the FCC; and occasional editorial comment.

He complimented FAMA members in their assistance in the fight on copyright legislation. "The greatest thing MOA has done is on copyright legislation. The average operator doesn't real- ize what copyright legislation would have done to us if MOA and our friends hadn't been in there fighting. As a result, our people have enjoyed several hun- dred million dollars that we wouldn't have had if MOA hadn't been on the job year after year." Wingrave pointed out that MOA had developed other services: paid out over $36,000 in life insurance and over $14,000 in hospitalization and is now offering an additional major medical plan.

NOVEMBER 25, 1972, BILLBOARD L-13 Miami's Disk Industry Has Complete Facilities rri he success of Miami's Latin American recording industry is definitely aided by the fact that every principal facet of the business is available within the area. This was definitely not the case of a dozen years ago when only one recording studio (Criteria) was in existence. Since then sev- eral smaller studios have cropped up, plus a major music pub- lisher and a manufacturing company have moved in. Much of the responsibility of the success of these companies is due to the vast exodus of Latin Americans from their countries to Dade County as well as Miami's close proximity to Central and South America. With the obvious boom in bouncy beats of Latin rhythms, the pillars of the Miami music world foresee an even greater influx of Latin American talent coming into the area. Miami Beach hotels utilize many Latin American musicians in many of their smaller rooms. The large rooms are reserved for superstar talents. Mack Emerman, president of the internationally renowned Cri- teria Recording Studios, claims, "We have played an instrumental part in Latin American recording since our studios inception." Al- though Criteria is best known for its heavy element of rock and soul recordings and its 14 gold records in the Anglo market, the Latin American market does play a small, but vital role in Emer- man's business. Most of the Latin American records produced in Miami are recorded at his studio. Henry Stone, who has his own recording studios in Hialeah, uses Criteria for most of his Latin American recording-reserving his own studios for his soul and rock productions. His Tone -Latino label includes such artists as Adolfo Pago, world famous Cuban violinist and arranger/conductor. The now semi -retired Pago has recorded a dozen or more instrumental LP's for Tone Latino with his groups-Los Violines de Pago and Los Diplomaticos. The most recent LP released by Stone's firm is Pago's "Greatest Hits" top tunes culled from Pago's albums. The songs are of Cuban origin, primarily, with a sprinkling of Spanish and American tunes and are arranged with a full, plush instrumental Latin beat. "Greatest Hits" had been selling extremely well in Puerto Rico, Panama and other South American countries where Pago is a household word. Distribution is handled by Tone Distributors-in Puerto Rico by Ammada E. Rodriquez. Peer Southern, one of the world's largest publishing com- pany's-has had recording operations in Miami for the last two years, headed by Augusto Monsalves. The company is engaged in every facet of the music industry. Under contract to Peer Southern are female singers, Lisa and Tania and recently signed to the Monica label is Kristian. One of Peer's Miami composers is 24 -year Gethel Ros who ar- rived in Miami from Cuba 10 years ago. She is now recording, pro- ducing, singing and composing her own tunes. She has written over 100 songs, 50 of which are with Peer Southern. South Eastern Record Corp. is a multi -faceted firm. Its main purpose is to manufacture records, tapes and cassettes for all markets. Among the labels this company manufactures are Hit Parade, Velvet, Audio Latino, Broinquen, Teca, Tari, Artilleria, Montilla, Discolando, Aro and General. Most of the existing Latin labels have produced records in South Eastern's record plant. Labes deposit their tapes and transparencies with S/E personnel and receive a completely finished product, including pressing, art- work, labels, packaging and distribution. On South Eastern's own Kubaney label, are such popular Latin American artists as Johnny Ventura from the Dominican Republic whose LP and single "Te Digo Ahorita" is moving fast, Tomas De San Julian from Spain, Anthony Rios (with the Johnny Ventura music group) and Caesar Morales, organist/pianist. South Eastern's president is Mateo San Martin who has had an extensive background in the record industry. Second in command is vice president and head of the plant Jose Sera, former head of Pan American the record department for Columbia Records in Cuba. Records, Inc.

We've not seen much installed under the seat, but I've suggested it for trucks, where there's a lot of space. On anything under the dash we rec- ommend a sliding bracket." The most common installation mistake is getting speakers out of phase, he said. "It's one of the most common problems and at the same time is what ruins the sound of most car stereos, since each tape player has its own hook-up pattern." Holeman said at least 50 per- cent of do-it-yourself jobs are marked by poor sounding which blows fuses and even damages tape players.

_ i

--, _.

1. No! Roxy Music is a totally new group, formed in England, 1972, and right now being hailed as the next "thing'.'

2. Roxy Music doesn't sound, or even look, like any American group. Looko carefully at the boys and notice that each is dressed to reflect a different aspect of their indescribable music. (They would probably define it as everything, except jazz -they hate jazz - carried a step further and combined into music that Disc Magazine adds "threatens to revitalize the entire world of rock 'n' roll'.' And as long as we're quote dropping, "Take it from me: `Roxy Music' can bring pictures to your head like no one else - and they've only just begun:' Melody Maker.)
