Keeps Pace At COMPACT New Ga. Home 0 [1.§ NASHVILLE When the sagging oil DIGITAL AUDIO economy in New Orleans led to criti- cal sales drops for Metronome Music (Billboard, Aug. 16, 1986), the record store's employees packed its inven- tory into two semis and four 22-foot- long rented trucks and decamped to the more commercially congenial climes of Atlanta. The new 6,000 - square -foot Metronome opened its doors Oct. 15 at the midtown location of Piedmont and Monroe. Says store manager and head buy- er Jimmy Augustin, "We saw our sales Ein New Orleans] decline in the early part of 1986 by 30% or 40%. The economy was looking so bad, and we didn't see a turnaround for four or five years." By Augustin's account, it was part- ly the musical zealotry of the staff that convinced him to try again some- where else. "We're maniacs," he says. "We're from the old school of record nuts that live, breathe, and sleep music." Of the 10 employees now working in the Atlanta store, seven came from New Orleans. Like the 13,000 -square -foot New Orleans store, the Atlanta outlet has a special section for classical music, a genre that accounts for 25 %-35% of the total stock, says Augustin. The classical section is separated from the rest of the store, with separate doors leading to the street and into the main show room. "Clients prefer to listen to classical music in their own environment," says Augustin. Dan Groya, Metronome's business manager, says the store's inventory has not been cut back even though the new store has half the space of the original. The New Orleans store, he explains, had four lounges and a café.

BY WILLEM HOOS _ o OCCGC L AMSTERDAM The Dutch record in- dustry grossed $112 million in the first six months of 1986, a gain of 6.8% on earnings of $104.9 million in the equivalent period a year before. According to trade body NVPI, which published the figures, "explo- sive" CD sales account for most of the increase. Since CD's introduction here, sales volumes have risen from 200,000 ($3.57 million) in 1983 to 500,000 ($11.16 million) in 1984 and 1.4 million ($29.46 million) in 1985. In the first half of 1986 alone, sales were 1.2 mil- lion units ($24.1 million), and NVPI predicts overall CD sales for 1986 of at least 2.4 million. Of the first-half figures, CD sales now account for 21.5% of total indus- try earnings, but market share varies widely according to musical catego- ry. In the classical sector, CD sales represented 44% of a gross of about $11.2 million. In the international pop- ular music category, compact disks accounted for 22% of $82.59 million in earnings, but their share of the na- tional popular music gross of $17.41 million was only 1 %. Market analysis shows that pur- chasers in the age group 20 -29 THESE bought 36% of the CDs sold in the PEOPLE WHO BUY CASSETTE DECKS LIKE first half of 1986, those aged 30-39 M_ TAPE LIKE THIS. bought 31 %, and those aged 40 or WILL BUYCASSETTE over bought 30%.

"The tape business is a cutthroat one, and I don't see it getting any less competitive. If video dealers Take home winners. are going to have a future, they'll find it in laserdisks," says Wang. His Instant Replay stores are firmly committed to both video and laserdisks. The stores 7,000 $Z495*h. stock videocassette titles, 3,000 laserdisk titles, and several lines of related la- ser hardware units -all for both sale and rental -as well as video and laser accessories. Wang also op- erates a mail -order business under the Instant Replay banner for soft- ware and hardware that boasts a customer base of 10,000. Wang estimates that 40% of the retail and 85% of the mail -order business for Instant Replay are in laserdisks. "To the best of my knowledge, we were the area's first movie /video dealer. I opened the first store in 1979 in an 800 -square -foot space. It was what you might call a one -man show then," he says. Over the past seven years, Instant Replay's flag- ship Waltham store grew to more than 6,000 square feet and now houses the company's offices and mail -order operation. Wang's sec- ond outlet opened in mid-November in a 2,000- square -foot space in downtown Boston. Wang's involvement with laser - disks dates back to 1981, one year after Pioneer's 1980 U.S. debut of the product. "Pioneer originally marketed its They took home millions products only to hi -fi dealers, and at the box office. They took home that effort was largely unsuccess- ful.

BY KEN JOY A biweekly survey of technical de- velopments in the hardware and software sides of the home video industry.

YOU MAY NOT believe what you've read given all the heated exchanges between the purveyors of VHS and 8mm over who has the most viable of formats, but Kore- an manufacturer Samsung has an- nounced that, possibly as early as the fourth quarter of 1987, it will introduce the world's first 4mm iXotto video system. r toor You read right-4mm!

It should create a stir and cause more than a few industryites to scratch their heads. A number of observers argue that 8mm is just now gaining an audience among consumers, and the introduction of yet another for- mat, incompatible with every other existing format, will only serve to dilute the video hardware market and cause confusion among con- sumers. Samsung doesn't see it that way and claims to have spent more than $2 million developing this product. The prototype weighs a little more than 3 pounds without a battery and is expected to carry a retail price tag of approximately $1,300. The 4mm camcorder system, called the SV -C, besides being uniquely small, is also novel in that it's the first product that Samsung has produced entirely on its own and may signal a direction of more original product. The company has been vague on the exact availability of the prod- uct in the U.S., having said it will be introduced "possibly sometime next summer." The fourth quar- ter, however, appears the most likely time frame. Samsung drew headlines during the Korean Electronics Show last summer in Seoul when it intro- duced a combination VHS /8mm VCR. Controversy stemmed from the product's ability to record in both formats and copy one format to another. The film industry raised strong protests against the system (as it did with the an- nouncement of a dual -deck VHS machine) and promised to fight the product's entry into the U.S. The company benefited from the "ex- citing new technology" headlines in the worldwide trade press and The home video experience without equal!

There are a couple of factors that tend to support the theory that 4mm may never be marketed. The new configuration is not backed by any 4mm tape availabil- ity. Samsung claims the video unit JENGI will use the same 4mm high- densi- ty metal audiotape being readied for digital audiotape (DAT) ma- chines, although the video unit R won't actually record its audio dig- itally. DAT machines are facing one obstacle after another, and their introduction in the U.S. in the foreseeable future seems unlikely, leaving the 4mm machine all dressed up with no place to go. Even if DAT players were avail- able, it's doubtful enough tape would be available for DAT. To date, there is a good reason why DAT machines are not being sold in the U.S. -the compact disk. The CD has taken the record in- dustry by storm, and manufactur- ers don't want to undermine the format's success with another au- dio format. Recent developments, however, indicate Japan's inten- tion of moving ahead with DAT in 1987. Why would Samsung try to di- lute an 8mm market that is just trying to get a foothold? The com- pany's reasoning appears simple enough -it sees different video formats competing in the market the same way that still cameras have for years. A company spokes- person says, "Still cameras come in 35mm, 110, and disk formats, not to mention a few oddball for- mats that have managed to hang ) around for a few loyal consumers, AQYENOÚflE and it gives consumers a broader choice to chose a format that best suits their needs and pocketbook." Another major 4mm bar is that there have been no reported talks about prerecorded programming in that format. Most home video suppliers have not even been ap- proached about software. Typical studio responses: "Are you kid- ding?" and "We're not even releas- ing in 8mm yet!" Consumers do have a choice and no one will be twisting their arm to buy 4mm if they want 8mm or Beta or VHS or VHS -C. But sooner or later a format will be introduced that the industry will simply have to ignore because it will be one for- mat too many. Whether 4mm is that format remains to be seen. If the video -consuming public is in- terested in a compact format to use only for recording personal events and not for recording broadcasts of cable programming (the DAT microcassettes are not long enough to record an entire movie), then 4mm may be just the ticket.

The compilations will retail for $24.95. According to O'Donnell, "several thousand" three- minute soundies were produced from 1940 -47 by Soundies Distributing Co. of New York. The clips were viewed on a coin -operated machine called a Pan - oram and featured such popular art- ists as Ozzie Nelson, Gale Storm, and the Larry Clinton Big Band per- forming their hits. In addition, soundies included novelty pieces, cartoons, dance numbers, and orchestral scores with titles such as "Aqua Fun" and "Winter Spills And Thrills." The majority of the soundies were pro- duced and directed by William For- rest Crouch.

64 BILLBOARD JANUARY 10, 1987 www.americanradiohistory.com HOT 100 IF IT EVER WAS "HOT'; IT'S HERE The Only Book Of Its Kind To List Every Single SINGLES SPOTLIGHT Ever Charted On Billboard's "Hot 100"

A weekly look behind the Hot 100 with Michael Ellis.

IT'S A QUIET week for the Hot 100, with many radio stations freezing their playlists for the holidays. So, instead of our usual probing of chart action, we are taking this opportunity to look back at some of the major developments in music that were reflected on last year's charts. This should help programmers anticipate changes for the year ahead.

ONE MAJOR development was the re-emergence of indie labels and their great success in penetrating the upper reaches of the Hot 100. The latest example is Rhino's success with "At This Moment" by Billy Vera & the Beaters. Such small -label product was more readily accepted at top 40 radio in 1986 than in recent years past. The trend -if it contin- ues- should mean greater diversity for top 40. More importantly, it promises a better shot for new artists, many of whom sign with small labels first. And by the way, it was a good year all around for new art- ists.

TALKING ABOUT INDIES and diversity, let's not overlook Profile's top five success with Run -D.M.C.'s "Walk This Way." New York -based Profile, which previously specialized in black street music, helped to create a new fusion sound in which rap /street music meets heavy metal rock -the teen music of the inner city meeting the teen music of the suburbs -to the delight of everyone young. The Beastie Boys, on Co- lumbia, are creating a sound that has some of the same elements.

IT WAS ANOTHER GOOD year for black and dance music in general, with top 40 radio showing a continuing interest in the kind of up -tempo music that sets the phones -and the cash registers- ringing. Although it is unclear whether the big dance records will yield lasting artists, ur- ban crossover continues to be strong, and even Latin crossover is devel- oping-for example, the enormous success of Miami Sound Machine. The Epic act's "Conga" went top 10 with a Latin dance beat, but its later singles did equally well with a more mainstream sound.

ROCK'N'ROLL IS healthy, too, with an impressive re- emergence of sophisticated, socially conscious lyrics in 1986. Besides the always -rele- vant songs of Bruce Springsteen, topical lyrics graced the music of John Cougar Mellencamp ( "Rain On The Scarecrow" and "Small Town "), Jackson Browne ( "For America "), and talented newcomer Bruce Hornsby, who hit No. 1 with a song about social problems ( "The Way It Is "). Even if radio listeners do not concentrate on the lyrics, the FROM r:1USrvf1Y subliminal messages sink in, so lyrics do matter. (OMQ11f0

ALL OF THE ABOVE bode well for 1987. We can't tell you exactly what's ahead, but we can promise you the industry's most reliable fore- f cast of hot records, our weekly Power Picks in sales and airplay. The important lesson of 1986 is for programmers to keep their ears open to emerging sounds and not to dismiss anything new or different as un- suitable. Top 40 thrives on variety and novelty, not sameness.
