AmericanRadioHistory.Com THE C 'MST Loggins' Luncheon By SAMUEL GRAHAM and SAM SUTHERLAND RANDALL NOTES: When Joan Baez and producer David Kershen- baum began work on the first Baez album on Portrait, it was hardly surprising their search for a crack guitarist led them to Big Apple six - string specialist Elliott Randall. And when Randall showed up at the sessions and was asked to help out arranging, even the skeptics on board knew he would rise to the occasion despite his initial reticence (he did, arranging all but three of the tracks). But Randall has taken the association a surprising step further, stepping in to lead Baez's touring band despite his own solo career with Kirshner Records and the sort of session demands that could enable Randall to start his own fast-food chain or underwrite a small government without setting foot on a stage. "Something very magical happened with Joan," the bearded axemeister said during a recent visit with COAST. "She's really got her shit together in terms of deal- ing with people in the studio. It was just great." Last week Columbia Records held a special luncheon celebrating Kenny Loggins' appearance at Madison Square Garden.

I and I discussed that very carefully when I came over, and it was my Goldman: Candidly, no. don't think anyone who is active in an strong feeling that he should really set about signing artists not of the industry that is as public as ours is, seeks to stay out of the public superstar category, but new artists that we really felt were talented, eye; I think everyone likes to receive recognition from his peers for that Clive really felt had enormous potential, and to work with those the job being done no matter how far "behind the scenes" he may artists.

I thinkitis an open secret that there is very severe competition going on between CBS and Warners, and that the bidding on certain artists on Warners by CBS and perhaps vice -versa is just wild. There are deals being made where the company signing the artist can't possibly come out with any significant profit margin and I can only assume the goalis to purchase market share. Knowing the kind of effort that we put in with each one of our artists, and that they're entitled to expect, we would not do that. As some of these deals start to show up on balance sheets, and people begin realizing the kind of effort that is expended and what the minimal return and results are, maybe there will be more business sensibility shown. I suspect also that some of these deals were made in anticipation of a price increase.
