These changes --along with a recently opened U.K. distribution office -have helped New World Video continue its platinum- edged, rapid growth in 1986, its second year of operations. The canny and Congratulations upstart company has enjoyed an auspicious and re- markable first two seasons. "Business is excellent," says Culberg. "We have had remarkable successes in the first half of '86, such as shipping over 100,000 pieces on 'Black Moon Rising' in May." Along with "Transylvania 6- 5000, other recent hits include: "The Stuff," "Anni- hilators," "The Boys Next Door," and "The Ninth Configuration." Sales have been helped by New World's method of working closely with its distributors. "There's so much product in the marketplace now. We find by actually treating the distributor as a member of our marketing team we will get a lot farther," says Da- vid Pierce, vice president of marketing & sales. "We take our ideas to the distributors and if there are any bumps or mistakes or errors in our market- oviosim ing plan then we can smooth them out before we ac- tually get into the release. You have to get your act together, up front, because after that initial shot t you've just released 90% of the product that you'll release in the history of that particular title. II "So, I think the cooperation between manufactur- Alan Lithograph, Inc. er and distributor is becoming more vital than ever before -we really have to stress that." Innovative promotion, creative packaging and eye- catching advertising are also keys to New World success, as is an effective salesforce. "We have an incredible team here," says Pierce. "Our regional marketing managers -Glenn Zimmerman (East Coast), John Reina (Midwest), Ralph Walin (West Coast) -are top notch, true professionals.

HOLIDAY PROMOTIONS (Continued from page 52) sell- through material and a special 100`7 exchange program (Billboard, Aug. 9). Rob Blattner, president of RCA/ Columbia Pictures Home Video, is concerned that the selection process will be carried out to an extreme. "The pressure really will be on the distributors to try and do justice to all the titles that are out there," he says. He says the most important question for many companies is how to "prevent retailers from just tak- ing the best two titles of every pro- motion." Blattner is not certain retailers are ready to accept the challenge. In the last promotion RCA /Columbia did, even though sales goals were reached, retailers did not show a great deal of enthusiasm for sell - through. "It's not at all clear to me that retailers are as aggressive about sell- through promotions as they claim to be," says Blattner. The stock traditional video specialty stores brought in pretty much amounted to what had been preor- dered by their customers, Blattner says. They tempt, tease As for how the product that is and tantalize bought should be handled, "I would caution the retailer to have a plan every customer and then try and buy product to fit in the place! into the plan," says Paramount's Doctorow.

Burgess also worked with the group's main songwriter, Gary Kemp, in reshaping their songs. "I do that quite a lot, trying not to our Best Wishes and Love interfere with the basic nature of the song, but taking what's good and commercial about a song and reinforcing it.

I didn't interfere too much, be- cause a record is an artist's project, and an artist usually es- tablishes his own direction, while it's up to the producer to bring that direction out. Although that wasn't immensely successful, it was successful nonetheless, but since then Adam seems to have lost some interest in his musical career, ** although I'm sure it'll revive again." The next project involved King, the British group led by E GALAXY SOUND STUDIOS Paul King. "I wasn't producing much at the time they ap- proached me, because it was immediately before the Adam album. They hadn't got a deal at that point, but they sent me IS PROUD TO a tape to see whether I might be interested, and when I heard Paul King's voice, I thought it was exceptional, and CONGRATULATE that the group's music had several interesting influences.

A second LP, "Bitter Sweet," also went gold, and includ- ed three major hit singles in "Alone Without You" (Top 10), "The Taste Of Your Tears" (Top 20) and "Torture" (Top RICHARD BURGESS` 30). "I did two albums with them. It's not a hard and fast rule to only do two albums with an act, but by the time you've finished the second one, I find that I want to move on. I saw the guys from King in New York recently, and we're still on good terms-in fact, I'm still friendly wtih virtu- ON HIS CONTINUING ally everyone I've worked with." When he relocated in America, Burgess signed a solo SUCCESS ON PUTTING deal with Capitol, for whom he cut an album, but left the label when it became clear that the company was far less interested than Burgess had understood in his working with OUT THE HITS videos. However, after he had walked out, a single, "Breath- less," was a hit on the U.S. dance chart for Burgess, who was further convinced to leave GALAXY SOUND STUDIOS Capitol as he was receiving 1635 N. Cohuengo Blvd. 3rd Floor, Hollywood, CA 90028 (213) 461 -1971 many offers of production work. "Since then, I haven't had enough time for another solo project, although I've thought about it, but I just don't want to fall into that trap of sacrific- ing my production career for personal fame." An early success came with the chance to produce a track for New Edition on their eponymous double platinum al- bum, following a similar involvement with Melba Moore, on the "Read My Lips" album. "It's not that easy initially for a white producer to get into black music, because people have to know in advance that you can do it. Capitol, Melba's la- bel, had obviously heard my solo album which sounded fair- ly black, and that opened a lot of black music opportunities for me, like New Edition and Colonel Abrams. A lot of black artists like to have different producers on their albums, but Grubman Indursky & Schindler, P.C. it's not an indication of problems, they just like it that way." Mention of Colonel Abrams inevitably brings to mind "Trapped," that mega -hit of recent times. "I did that with him before he had a deal to help him get a deal, and it's amazing how that took off. I think I always know when a record's going to do well, and the only one or two which didn't make it although I expected them to be big only failed, I believe, because they weren't given the right oppor- tunities." Burgess also officiated as producer on about half of "Colonel Abrams," the military man's debut album, which rose well into the U.S. Top 100 album chart. Another project around the same time, although some- what less likely, was producing America. Says Burgess, CONGRATULATIONS "Apart from the chance to work with a close harmony group and learn something about that style of music, when and Capitol asked me to make some tracks with America I saw it as an opportunity to further establish myself in the U.S. In Britain, success and public recognition can happen virtually ALL THE BEST overnight, as it did for me with Spandau and Landscape, but it can also disappear as quickly. America's so much big- ger a country with very little national media that it takes RICHARD JAMES BURGESS longer for the public to become aware of who you are." Recent projects undertaken by Burgess, who now lives permanently in Los Angeles, include highly rated MCA act Chakk ( "a difficult project on a commerical level, because SIGMA it's a very left-field thing, although I found it a very satisfying 1697 Broadway SOUND thing to do "), Kim Wilde, for whom he produced three STUDIOS New York, NY 10019 /// tracks on her forthcoming album ( "She's a very straightfor- 212- 582 -5055 ward and extremely talented person, whom I enjoyed work- ing with very much ") and Imagination ( "I consider that Leee (Continued on opposite page) H-6 BILLBOARD AUGUST 16, 1986 www.americanradiohistory.com John is one of today's great soul vocalists, and I'm sure they'll continue their success "). A track Burgess produced for the latest solo LP by Tony Banks looks set to become the first single taken from the album. Featuring Marillion leader Fish on vocals, the song is "Short Cut To Somewhere." As Burgess jokingly says, "I think I was brought in to translate for Fish, as we're fellow Scotsmen" He is currently working with two new acts, Living In A Box, which is signed to Chrysalis ( "They're a heavily r &b influenced band with a lead singer, Richard Darbyshire, who has an unbelievable voice and is a definite find "), and Flesh, a new act whose members have previous ties with Altered Images and /or Feargal Sharkey, for London Records. The latest Burgess -produced hit is "Can't Wait" for Five Star, of which he says, "I'm sure that was offered to me be- cause they were excited by what happened with Colonel Abrams, and that was the major reason, although I didn't attempt to emulate the qualities of the Abrams tracks, which is a rule I use with every project. I approached Five Star from the point of view of what they had been and what thought they would become, because this is only the begin- ning for them, and I think they could become a major influ- ence on black music." The single went Top 10. While many producers might feel insecure at the prospect of producing only part of an album, Burgess seems quite happy working this way. "I don't like hanging around on projects-once I feel I've done what I have to do, I like to move on and I see no reason to be involved in long-term binding relationships. The producer /artist relationship is a strange kind of chemistry which is worth continuing as long as it's working, but I refuse to be in the studio with someone I'm not having a good time with. Doing one or two tracks, you can keep the energy high and have a good time, and don't get caught in the end of the album syndrome. Howev- er, my two current projects are complete albums, so I'm not averse to doing that, as long as I can pace myself. If I'm not happy, there's much less chance of the results being good."

Pink Floyd, the Kinks, Robert Palmer, and Joni Mitchell. Not surprisingly, his fellow engineers at Heisenberg have somewhat lesser credits, although this is largely due to their having been involved in the music industry for less time. Adam Moseley, for instance, can boast of engineering work in the studio with Tina Turner, Rush, Dexy's Midnight Run- ners, Don McLean, and the Blow Monkeys (whom he also produced), while Andy Jackson worked with Pink Floyd on "The Wall" and "The Final Cut" and on the Roger Waters' solo album "The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking," as well as mixing the live sound for three American tours by Waters, while Frank Roszak appears to work most often as engineer for Burgess himself at the moment, having officiated for Colonel Abrams, Nancy Shanks, Chakk, Five Star, Imagina- tion, and Kim Wilde, as well as remixing /co- producing "West End Girls," which topped the charts in both Britain and the U.S. recently for Pet Shop Boys.

68 BILLBOARD AUGUST 16, 1986 www.americanradiohistory.com HOT 100 SINGLES SPOTLIGHT THE LADY IN RED.... A weekly look behind the Hot 100 with Michael Ellis. Chris De Burgh's follow-up to his first MADONNA HITS THE TOP this week with "Papa Don't Preach" (Sire), to no one's surprise. She is No. 1 by a wide margin, especially in seven million records. sales. (She also hit No. 1 on the Top Pop Albums chart.) Although it is unlikely any record will be able to dislodge her next week, the two high- est bulleted records below Madonna have a chance to overtake her if they continue their enormous gains: Steve Winwood's "Higher Love" (Island) at No. 4 and Bananarama's "Venus" (London) at No. 6.

SEVERAL UNUSUAL MOVES on the chart this week merit a closer look. Since bullets indicate significant point gains but have no direct relation to moves on the chart, records can go up as many as five posi- tions without a bullet. For example, a record can peak at radio and be- gin to lose airplay points but continue to sell and gain retail points. The net point gain can be enough to improve the record's chart position - but insufficient for a bullet. Four records follow that pattern on this week's chart: "Suzanne" by Journey (Columbia), which moves from 20 to 17; "All The Love In The World" by the Outfield (Columbia), 22 to 19; "Rumbleseat" by John Cougar Mellencamp (Riva), 30 to 28; and "Walk Like A Man" by the Mary Jane Girls (Motown), 45 to 41. Prince's "Anotherloverholenyohead" (Paisley Park), at No. 63, is fol- lowing a similar path, with strong sales continuing off its black radio base.

FOR ONLY THE THIRD time, there is a combined Power Pick /Sales & Airplay winner this week: "Stuck With You" by Huey Lewis & the News (Chrysalis). Two of this week's top 10, Madonna and Berlin, were the previous double winners. For Lewis, this is the second consecutive week as airplay pick. The airplay runner -up is Janet Jackson's "When I Think Of You" (A &M), which was added to an outstanding 68 reporting stations in its second week on the chart. The sales runner -up is "That Was Then, This Is Now" by the Monkees (Arista). Nationally it moves from 29 to 25, and it's top 10 at nine reporting stations, including B -94 Pittsburgh. PD Nick Ferrara reports that the single is a top five seller and that the Monkees' "Best Of" album on Arista is top 10 locally.

HOT MOVERS: Among the nine debuts on the chart is Anita Baker's first Hot 100 hit, "Sweet Love" (Elektra), at No. 74, currently No. 2 on the Hot Black Singles chart. The record is especially strong in New Or- leans (No. 14 at WQUE) and El Paso, Texas (No. 18 at KAMZ). The Bea- tles continue storming up the chart, as "Twist And Shout" (Capitol) jumps 89 to 65. In 1964, the record had a nine -week run on the chart. In its second week on the chart in 1986, it's already top 10 at KRBE Hous- ton, KIIS -FM Los Angeles, KZZP Phoenix, and KUBE Seattle. "Two Of Hearts" by Stacey Q (Atlantic) moves into the top 40 this week and has become a top 10 hit everywhere it's played -with 17 top 10 reports from radio stations all over the South and West.. "Walk This Way" by Run -D.M.C. (Profile), at No. 30, is taking big jumps at radio, including 16-7 at WLRS Louisville and 24 -6 at KMEL San Francisco.
