All they can do is ride on an artist whose reputation was built before they got him, through his concerts, night club work, and records - records that were promoted and sold by dealers. I always work with dealers in towns that I play. I visit their stores, sign autographs and try to get people into the store. The record clubs hurt all of that. They separate the customer from the point of sale -the record store. Garner stated that he had turned down several big deals with record companies after he split with Co- lumbia because they wanted him to the club rights to his material. "And they offered mg the same royalty in the club that I get on records sold through stores. But I still said no, because I don't want my records to he sold that way. If I want my records to be sold through the mail then I'll go to Sears -that is the best mail -or- der house. But no records issued on the Octave label will ever be sold through record clubs. Sans Clark, Am -Par president, feels the same way about record clubs that I do, and that was one of the res sons that we signed with Am -Par for distribution." Gamer, some of whose Columbia material is in the Columbia Record Club, said that he felt record club customers are indiscriminate record buyers. "Since they can't hear the records they order, they can't al- ways be sure they will like what they get. They don't even get a chance to read the liner notes -un- less they go in a store first.
