The first half they're building the wall, and you're looking at the band alot of the time And they're not the most exciting people to watch on stage. But after the wall was built things got interesting." Of the misdirections, Blankenship said sanguinely, "We saw the best part of the show, and we were able to laugh about what happened on the driveout."Blankenship oftenlaughs through gritted teeth.

IF YOU THINK DIGITAL IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER, Nearly everyone in the recording industry agrees that digital is YOU'RE ALREADY A STEP BEHIND. the technology of the future. Unfortunately, they're also under the impression that it won't be available until then. There are, however, some notable exceptions to that philosophy. Like A & M Records, Warner Bros. Records, Record Plant, Westlake Audio, Audio -Video Rents and Sound 80. You see, they've all installed the multi -track digital system that's available right now. 3M's 32 -track Digital Mastering System. The reasons are obvious. Because digital captures all the pure, full -range highs and lows and surrounds them with clean, no -hiss silence. The result is transparent, distortion -free sound itself. Whether it's the first generation or the twentieth. But there's one other reason why so many outstanding studios are using 3M's Digital Mastering System for the entire recording process. They like to stay a step ahead. For more information, write: Digital Mastering/3M, Building 223-5S/3M Center, St. Paul, MN 55101.

RECORD WORLD MARCH IS, 1980 38

AmericanRadioHistory.Com There are business people, and there are music business people. And then there are Record People...

Record World takes special pride in announcing a tribute to an industry veteran who has helped define the crucial breed apart: John Kaplan.

Now executive VP of The Handleman Co., John Kaplan has built a 34 -year music career on the balance of vision, skill and persistence that typifies our industry's growth from "mom and pop" regional roots to its current strength as a multi -billion dollar global entertainment force. From his beginnings as an independent distributor, where he helped shape the expansion of that sector's marketing involvement with its product, to his more recent impact on the style and substance of high - volume rack merchandising as a contributor to the Handleman Company's role as a rack leader, John Kaplan sustained personal as well as professional respect from the music community. In March, Record World will trace that story through the eyes of that community's most successful executives, many of them beneficiaries of Kaplan's own growth as friends and associates of the Detroit legend. A Tribute to John Kaplan In Record World's NARM Issue: March 29, 1980
