The first review is in: "You could tell from the way Eric Andersen walks, talks and carries himself lately that he has finally gotten his butt together. Yes he has! His forthcoming album is astoundingly beautiful and infectious. Not since the likes of James Taylor's `Sweet Baby James, and Carole King's `Tapestry'does an album hit that perfect balance between the commercial and the real like Eric's new one.

Craig is confining its 4 -channel representation to one 8 -track car unit and is holding back from any home models. The company plans to have some new 4 -channel hard- ware at the midwinter CES show in January. For the time being, however, Craig's one tape unit is the 3129, which is offered with a Columbia Records demonstration tape and four speakers at $129.95. This car unit which has been available for the past year, has been a "steady item," according to Loren Davies, the company's sales director. "We're finding the move- ment right on a predictable curve. It still is a new concept and right now we're filling the supply lines. "Quadrasonic sound is still a con- versation topic. Four -channel sound in the 8 -track market is still down the road and we do see it as a po- tential market." In the car field, Toyo has the 721 and 722 8 -tracks both below the dash installations at $139.95.

"But, people who buy and sell tapes for a living certainly can tell the difference." Benjamin knows all sides of the story since his father works for Warner/Elektra/Atlantic and he has heard the problem discussed frequently. Good Service Benjamin's store is located on the main thoroughfare in North Miami Beach, a heavily travelled road leading to Miami Beach. He became the owner in 1968 after serving with the Army. At the time he opened his doors, there was only one other tape store in Miami. It is now out of business, but a dozen others have sprung up in the meantime. "My philosophy is to give my customers the best quality equip- ment at the best price and to give complete service so they'll keep coming back again and again. I started out with this policy and it hasn't changed in the four years I've had the center," Benjamin ex- plained. Alan's Stereo Tape Center is a complete center stocking tele- visions, tape recorders, compact systems, components, receivers, home speakers, auto units, car speakers, head phones and acces- sories. He breaks down his prerecorded tape sales as 75 percent 8 -tracks; 15 percent cassettes, 5 percent records and 5 percent reel to reel. Cartridges list for $6.95 and sell for $5.59. To induce customers to trade at his store he offers a life- time guarantee on 8 -track, in fact a lifetime guarantee on all tapes, plus special sales every couple of months, selling tapes at $4.99. Only about 5 percent are de- fective tapes. "I believe that most defects in tapes are caused by the consumer. I've had tapes since 1965 and am still playing many of those I got years ago. Out of the 500 to 1,000 I've used, I can't re- member more than three poor ones. If they're not abused, they can last forever."

More Stores "Basically, we're automotive sound specialists, both radio and stereo, but our product mix also includes cartridges, cassettes and home stereo hardware," Geller said. "We've done a respectable job in all areas. We see great things ahead for the automotive sound business and plan to open eight or 10 new stores this year, some in cities in which we already have representation, others in cities where we will be trailblazing." Indicative of the heavy accent on sales and installation is the 3,000 square foot lower level in- stallation and service department in the Troost Avenue store here. The department is manned by six technicians. This store has the same amount of space upstairs for displaying automotive and home stereo compacts and a presently counter -serviced tape software sec- tion. All stores are in the process of a changeover from personal -ser- viced tape setups to self-service. Prerecorded cartridges contribute 85 percent of the software volume. Prerecorded cassettes pull only about 5 percent of the volume and the remainder is blank tape. Vertical fixtures being installed for tapes feature monkey -grabbing holes through which the customer puts his hand to pick up the tape he has selected. The tape then will move on a conveyor belt to the front -located cashier's station. The fixture, according to National Auto management, is virtually pilferage proof since it is impossible to slip a tape out of the holes.

www.americanradiohistory.com WHY ENOCH LIGHT USES

ENOCH LIGHT's well-earned reputation as a leader in the music world reaches back to the Era of the Big Bands, one of which he led. While other groups of that time have vanished, the great appeal of Enoch Light and the Light Brigade has been affirmed by their durability through the present. Light's perceptivity and curiosity about music, extending beyond the imme- diate aspects of performance alone, led him to broaden out into associated esthetic and technical considerations. As a result, he is identified with most advances in the recording industry during the last decade and a half: multi - microphone perspectives, the development and refinement of stereo and the use of 35mm magnetic film for master recording were among them. Many milestone recordings in both the popular and classical repertories came out of these efforts. He has been actively experimenting with the four -channel medium for several years, and has already produced more than 20 four -channel recordings on his new Project 3 label, following other four -channel discs before launching the new label.

www.americanradiohistory.com SANSUI QS ENCODING.

A renowned trend-setter in the music world, Enoch Light helped spearhead the stereo revolution over a decade ago. And now, as music maker and producer, he's ushering in the four -channel era with his pioneering Project 3 label. Project 3 prefers to issue a single version of each release, which serves as the compatible two -channel and four -channel stereo product. Sansui QS Encoding serves this purpose admirably, by placing back -channel information to either side of the two front channels, for a broadly spread out, enhanced acoustic perspective in standard stereo reproduction. But that's not the only reason it fits Enoch Light's purpose. "To me, four -channel stereo is not just an extension of conventional stereo," says Light. "It's an entirely new medium with limitless possibilities of its own, and I'm grateful for the freedom it affords us in experimenting with exciting new sound combina-

tions and balances. I'm using Sansui Encoding because I have found it, at the present time, to be the most flexible matrix technique from both the artistic and technical viewpoints."

If you're in recording (or broadcasting), why not find out for yourself what Enoch Light has already discovered? Add a Sansui QS Encoder to your present equipment and put yourself squarely in the four -channel business. Here's what you'll have going for you: LOCALIZATION: Accurate and complete sound -source localization in every direction without dropouts or cancellations, without shifts in position. No worries about placing performers in certain areas and keeping them away from others. TOTAL COMPATIBILITY: Sansui QS Encoding is compatible with two -channel playback of encoded records. With four -channel playback (synthesis) of conventional stereo records. With other matrix decoders. With all existing home hardware and professional equipment. With broadcast equipment - and with present FCC broadcast standards. Did we leave anything out? As to broadcasting, by the way, the FM station doesn't even need an encoder on the premises unless it wants to originate live material or process discrete tape originals. For the rest, all it has to do is play encoded records (perhaps your records?) on its existing system to broadcast a decodable signal. IMMEDIATE DECODABILITY: No need to wait for special decoders to go on the market later this year or sometime next. Over half a million compatible home decoders, or four -channel systems with such decoders built in, have already been sold and are in use. Sansui alone accounts for over 100,000 such systems decoding and synthesizing in users' homes today. The Sansui QS Encoder is simple to adjust and to use. Can you afford not to have one? Try it. Experiment with your own material, in your own way. Learn for ycurself what Project 3 has already found out. And ABC -Dunhill. And Ode. And Command. And Impulse. And Ovation ..
