NSAI, SESAC Set Showcase NASHVILLE The Nashville Songwriters Assn. Internation- al and SESAC will co- sponsor a songwriter showcase, set for Thursday (14) at 6:30 p.m. at the Bluebird Cafe here. Proceeds from the event, which costs $3 per ticket, will go to the NSAI. Scheduled to perform are Jer- ry Gillespie, Frank Dycus, Ken- dal Franceschi, Gail Frances - chi, Karen Taylor-Good, Lloyd Barry, Greg James, Bob Alster- berg, Kim Peery, Jerry Salley, and Woody Wright.

WILLIAMS VID SUCCESS (Continued from page 34) mers, Williams' popularity out- weighed any doubts they had about airing a video with Van Halen in it. "Some that played it felt they might get a negative reaction from viewers but played it anyway because of Hank," says Walker. "They felt that was justification enough to play it." Thirty -eight percent of the country outlets reporting to Aristo gave light play to "Bocephus "; 41% gave it medium play; and 21% gave it heavy play. "In terms of country, the heavy rotation has been very successful; higher than we've had before," Walker says. "In terms of pop crossover, this is the most successful video we've had." According to Walker, the video aired on many outlets that hadn't previously played Williams videos. Among the country outlets and shows that programmed "Boce- phus" were The Nashville Network, Country Music Television, and "Country Express." Pop exposure is not new to Wil- liams. His previous video, "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight," surfaced on MTV for three weeks in 1984, to the surprise of executives at Warner Bros. Hunter says his label is planning another Williams tape and is considering giving it a pop push. Other Warner Bros. acts with forthcoming videos aimed at pop outlets are Dwight Yoakam ( "Little Sister ") and the Emmylou Harris - Dolly Parton -Linda Ronstadt trio ( "Those Memories Of You ").

The Musicland unit is 700 square feet in size and concentrates on hit pop, rock, and country product primarily in LP and cassette format. Record Town has approximately 2,000 square feet of floor space, offering a wider range of music and accessory products. The 2,000- square -foot music department in Lechmere, located in the Framingham Mall on Route 30, is the dominant force among discounters, rivaling Strawberries for both units sold and lowest overall prices. The only discounter here that is not racked by an outside company, Lechmere devotes nearly a third of its display space to cassette merchandising and at least a quarter to compact disks. By con- trast, the music departments in Cal - dor, Bradlee's, and Zayre each have less than 1,000 square feet and focus almost entirely on hit product, mostly in LPs and cassettes.

HBO PROMOTION (Continued from page 49) er level, HBO Video will offer consumers who rent all three titles a $5 rebate. "It's a variation of our consumer - pull strategy," says Kessler, noting HBO's recent consumer -oriented programs for "Back To School" and "Nothing In Common." "The objective is to increase consumer demand and to demonstrate that demand to the retailers so they can respond by increasing their initial orders. And since our research continues to show that 30% of the consumers never find the titles that they look for when they come to the video store, we need to get more units out there to minimize the dis- appointment factor." The rebate program hinges on coupons in ads that will run in USA Today and People magazine. Con- i sumers obtain a sticker from retailers when they rent each of the promotion titles and, after affixing them to the coupons, mail them to HBO Video for the $5 rebate. "We're driving consumers into i the stores by paying them to rent the titles," says Kessler. He adds that HBO is backing the promotion with a $1 million television ad campaign, including one commercial for each film.

SHEFFIELD GETS SWEETER: Baltimore -based Sheffield Audio - Video Productions has completed a redesign and reconstruction of its large music studio in order to accommodate expansion into the audio-for-video field. Part of the work was a complete renovation of the shape and design of the control room. Added were RPG diffusers, a redesigned outboard rack, and new flooring as well as the Lynx Time- line system and a Sony 5850 3/4-inch video deck. Also, Sheffield has entered the digital age in a big way, with the acquisition of a Sony PCM- 3324 multitrack and PCM -3202 two- track digital recorder. Says a studio spokesman: "We try to encourage clients to use digital. If you are doing audio-for-video, there's no better way to go. Costwise, the difference is margin- al, and sonically it is tremendously better." THREE BIG ONES: Calrec By AMS, the U.S. division of British manufacturer AMS, has sold three big boards recently: Two are going to Japan, and the third is slated for London. The two Japanese orders are for Calrec's UA8000, a sophisticated board with an advanced automation system. Osaka Photo- graphic College has purchased a 64- channel version of the console, which will be the largest board in Japan when it is installed at the end of May. Osaka Univ. of the Arts ordered the 32- channel version, set for installation at the end of July. The third sale is for a new Calrec product, a massive 88-channel digitally assignable mixing board with Total Instant Reset, to Thames Televi- sion's Teddington Studios.

For example, Leahy continues, Russian Hill "does a lot of work" with the IMAX film system, which uses a six -track discrete sound stripe and "involves complicated mixing routines." One of the several modifications cooked up by SSL was to create special PCBs that con- vert the conventional SL 4000 quad bus so that the pan pot can work in either of two modes. "Basically, it works as two pots," Leahy says. "It pans from left to center and then from center to right. When it's in the center position, there is no signal at all going to either left or right. In the other mode, it works normally as a two - channel stereo pan pot."

VIDEO REVIEWS (Continued from page 61) "Low- Impact Aerobics," Polaris Video, 30 minutes, $14.95. One in a series of exercise tapes developed by fitness specialist Deb- orah Crocker, this aerobics workout stresses safety and personal comfort in a series of minimally strenuous exercises. Doctors have warned that some aerobics routines can lead to injuries, and Crocker's workout carefully avoids any such exercise -and presumably the risks as well. The regimen is so easy on the lungs that Crocker says, "You should be able to talk during the exercises." Crocker makes an enthusi- astic instructor and frequently cautions viewers to follow only at their own pace. "Low- Impact Aerobics" doesn't pump fresh blood in the clogged artistry of the workout video market, but it does offer a breezy, practical alternative for those who have no intention of working too hard to get themselves in shape. ED BURKE "Robert Klein On Broadway," Vestron Video, 60 minutes, $59.98. "They told me on the street all the time: 'Robert, I loved that video! Taped it off a friend!' " Klein is speaking here about his previous tape, but, ironically, the re- mark also brings up a marketing ca- veat about this new, rental -price video. Like Vestron's recent George Carlin title, "Playing With Your l'IIF CLTIMATE KBAF'(XN Head," Klein's Broadway romp was first seen on HBO, which might soften demand in some cable markets. Of course, not everyone has HBO, and this tape offers plenty of fun for fans of standup comedy. Klein's fast -paced patter on sociopo- litical subjects -from Jimmy Swag - gart's art critiques to Evelyn Wood's speed- reading technique- are sharp and insightful and will surprise those who have only seen him perform on network television.

72 BILLBOARD MAY 16. 1987 www.americanradiohistory.com HOT 100 SINGLES SPOTLIGHT

This week's column is by Tom Noonan. Michael Ellis is on vacation.

U2 GAINS ITS FIRST -EVER No. 1 single this week, "With Or With- out You" (Island). And this happens the very week that the label's owner, Chris Blackwell, celebrates his 25th anniversary in the business. Be- fore "With Or Without You," U2 had never had a top 10 record, much less a No. 1 hit. With its album remaining No. 1 for the fourth week, U2 rules the pop field. It is interesting that this Island single, distributed by Atlantic, replaces Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died In Your Arms" on Virgin, which is also an Atlantic -distributed label. WEA now has five of the top 10 singles. Id VIIITH OR WITHOUT YOU" was previously a combined Power Pick Sales /Airplay, and the track record of every combined pick making No. 1 remains intact. Kim Wilde's "You Keep Me Hangin' On" (MCA), which leaps into the top 10 this week at No. 8, up from No. 14, was also a combined pick, so watch it carefully for the next two weeks. Genesis' "In Too Deep" (Atlantic) is the Power Pick /Airplay this week at No. 24, while Herb Alpert's "Diamonds" (A&M) gets the Power Pick /Sales crown at No. 23. It is significant that Alpert was a close second to Gene- sis for airplay pick this week and, conversely, Genesis was a close second to Alpert for the sales pick, so both are major happening records. WHITNEY HOUSTON'S "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" (Arista) is the obvious Hot Shot Debut, jumping in at No. 38, but it's interesting that, via an extremely tight preplanned launch campaign by Arista, it grabs 90% of the Hot 100 radio panel out of the box. The question is why 10% did not come on board, but the answer is that some stations are so- called heavy rockers and may never play it.

IN A NORMAL WEEK -that is, any week without a Houston single debuting -Heart's "Alone" (Capitol), with the second -highest debut, at No. 53, and Bruce Hornsby & the Range's "Every Little Kiss" (RCA), debuting at No. 61, might have secured a few more adds and debuted higher. With Houston, Heart, and Hornsby being hot, that makes them ARE: TOURING NORTH AMERICA the 4 -H Club; together, they locked up over 415 adds this week.
