··.I I COMING Of AGI II This is the third in a series of articles from the leaders of the Canadian music industry. In these articles the people at the helm of the industry ore expressing \·heir outlook and their opinions regarding the domestic industry. In the weeks to come, we hope to print comments from every Canadian-minded record company.

THE AGE OF COMING OF AGE

From the g uiding ha nds of their par­ents , through the birthpangs of hom e e n­tertainment des ig ned to cont inue in the 'Old Country ', to the arrival of television and the revolt of the tee nager against con­tinuin g in the rustic ways of their fore­fathers ha s been the musical story of ET!l IC CANADA.

ow strong in their new found ta len ts, our teenagers are crea tin g a truly Ca na­dian ident it y through their musical abili­ties.

True, they have to start somew here. True, they may sound like someo ne, but do not underestimate their pioneering spir it. They mean to win a nd, in my opinion , CAN OT LO E .

The battle of id e ntity is ove r. We now have a Ca nada with its eth ni c minorities s lowl y being absorbed by Ca nadiani sm.

French Canada too ha s gre a tly contri ­buted to the cha nge. French Ca nadian tee nagers laud their h omespun musical he roes to the me rry rune of hit s in gle sa les of up to 0 E HUNDRED AND F IFTY T HOUSA D, to the detr ime nt of we ll known recording artists fr om France! Truly thi s is THE AGE OF COMING OF AGE!

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TRADE

lr rakes the drive of many facets of the industry, who can truly apprec ia te the situation, to throw in their lot with the younger generat ion .

Mu ch is being done by major re cord ing c ompa nies, by trade magazines, such as RPM, but much is lacking in the co-ordina­t ion (or co-opera ti on) of many radio sta­tions in firing their public with the new C anadian identity, the commercia l Ca na­dian product! It amazes me to think how many Ca nadian DJs swell with pride when introducing a bra nd new record to their audience, which is already a hit in the USA or Britian. How do they think this hit was made but by the concentrated e ffort s of record companies, managerial s ta ff, trade papers and DJ s in thes e co un­tries.

While in Ca nad a, th e Ca nadian product has time and again had great localized s uccess but littl e pl ay or recognition

throughout the e ntire this g reat country.

wave I engths of

THE SOUND WAS POOR

In the past, DJs have c ri ed " The so un d is poor, it does not compare with an American o r British prod uc ti on". Thi s was true, but not today. Th e so und com­ing from the st ud ios of Stereo Sound a nd RCA Victor in Montrea l and Ha llm a rk a nd RCA Victor in Toronto is more than com­pa rible with productions from the USA or Britian.

U.S.A. ACCEPTANCE

As rece ntl y as July of this year Mac Wiseman, a well known co untry entertainer from the USA, asked me if l would A & R an L P session for him with a l l Ca nadian country music ians. li e was astound ed at the Bluegrass soun d we o bta in ed on o ur a lbums. eedless to say, in th e int e rest of the industry (since th e a lbum was bei ng prod uced for a nother compa ny for release in th e USA and Ca nada) I ag reed but on ly if Mac reco rd ed no thing but the work s o f Ca nadian compos e rs . Mac accepted the compromise a nd th e sess ion was a treme n­dous success. Perhaps this will pro ve that

as hville is not, after all, the s t a rt and finish o f Co untry Mu sic .

It is more than probable that country DJ s will play this a lbum because of the Wiseman name , littl e realizing that in its e ntirety it i s pure.1y the new Canad ian Sound!

WHAT IS TH E ANSWER ?

What is the answer to the DJ problem in Canada? Who knows? Many have not reached THE AGE OF COMING OF AGE . Those who have, a re fighting the same battle we have been fighting for years. OUR C ONTRIBUTION TO THE CANADIAN SCENE .

We believe our contribution to the Cana­dian trade and musical scene has been both far seeing anC! practical. I doubt if any compa ny will deny that we were amo ng the first to prove that Canadian talent (a lmost unknown) could be mer­chandised in LP form. We paved the way and more interest was taken by major compa ni es in this marke t. This benefits the Canadian artist.

GIORGI TAYlOR Rodeo Records Limited

Many we ll known names in the record­ing indu s try have had their start with Rodeo Records namely, Lucille Starr, Hal Willis; Seu Phillips a nd many others.

Since 1951, through its ever increasing number of brand names,i.e. Banff, Campus, Caprice, Ce !tic, Europa, Melbourne, Rodeo International and Citade l, the company boasts 993 Canadian content.

This in itself, is proof positive of our never ending faith in the future of the Canadian artist.

that has polished

Dear Walt, Jus t a l itt le note to

bring you up on the happenings of Canada's No. one group, ''The Guess Who' s".

Current ly on tour doing one nighters through the Eastern Seaboard of the US and the mighty Mid-West. The boys have had a very busy s ummer and one that has helped them gain a tremendous amount of experience

he lped them to become a real and exciting act on personal

appearances. The boys have had the pleasure of

touring and playing with some of the big name s in the industry, such as, The Kings ­me n, Barbara Mason, Eddie Hodge s, Dion DiMucci, The Turtles, Sam The Sham and The Pharoahs, Chuck Jackson, Maxine Brown, The Crystals and many more . You can understand now, why the boys have gained the experience that I me ntioned earlier.

One thing you might be interes ted in Walt is the ir observations while in the US It would appear a far as the boys can ascertain that the rec ording industry in general are looking to Canada for the next big s ound. fudging by w hat has been re ­leased over the las t six months he re in Canada, by Canadian artists this is not too far in the futur e from be ing ac comp­lis he d. Anothe r thing Walt, no matter whe re the boys go and the y are be ing billed as from Canada , the y are trea te d royally. Be lieve me , the y find this very gratifying. In mos t cases , the y are a long way from home .

As you know Walt, The Gue ss Who's last three recordings have reac he d the Top Five in your National rating . for which they are very grat e ful, and have as ke d me to exte nd the ir most hea rtfe lt thanks .

We have in the next w eek a new s ingle coming out , which appears to be the

strongest thing they have ever done . It is called "Us e Your Imagination", and I think you'll go for it, but if not, we can't win the m all. I do know this, that the Canadian Broadcasting industry will give it a fair chance as it has all their other recordings.

Walt , the one thing that we as Cana­dians are so very proud of, is, that it all happened here first. : anada and Quality Records gave these kids the shot in the arm that has taken them to 33 for eign countries around the world. Their last three singles and their first LP have been re lease d from one end of the world to the other, mind you in not all countries, and maybe this will help all other Canadian groups to make the breakthrough. We all certainly hope so.

Another nice thing Walt is, that these releases are entirely Canadian produc­tions . We use no other musicians than the boys. I produce all their recording sess­ions, and it is handled by an all Canadian Record Company, Quality. We have en­deavoured to maintain this and we feel real · proud we have been able to do so .

Recently, we have been using the facilities of Scepter Records studio in New York, only because of the facilitie s, but we all make the trip down there. No one e lse has anything to do with the sessions.

In closing, may I say, as their manager, thank you for all the courtesies extended in the past and to say we will do our best not to le t the Canadian R ecording Indus­try down and all who have worked so hard to put it where it i s.

I re main, Bob Burns ,

Someone sa id, "How come DJ s in Canada haven't been hit by the fr ee bee gig fever so prevelent in the south'"· Just to name a few DJs, h ow abour (Ed: Do you get the fee ling some time that this re· sponsible trade paper is becoming more like a scandal rag every week? We'll pass on that, Mis s C. )

This column is not o Hype Column. We have neve r hyped any record.I. Often we wi II bring a good record to your a ttention, but we woul dn't hype a record a nymor e th a n a Ca nadian stat io n. We wouldn't like to. be accused of favouritism. "Out of the Sun s hine " by David C layton Thomas should have been a numbe r one record in Ca nada. Possibly Canad ia n d isc jockeys can make up fo r their lack of premonition whe n D.C.T. 's next release comes out. It had it in the grooves, a nd yo u guys just missed it. BUT this one can st ill be a smas h in the U.S. and just watch th e red faces .

"I think the group has a great name, and this disc sounds like a s leeper to me. It has a rathe r haunting pleasant sound that's ea y to program. A lso, it's about a minute shorter than a lot of the biggies that we have to play. Me think the c hances are good here. ''

Sandy Gardiner Ottowa Journal Night Winds Berries ''Here's another indication that Canadian discs are get ting be tt er all the t ime. The sound is just different e nough to catch on.''

Robbie Dunn CJIB Vernon Don't Look Away Rising Son s "Maybe I shouldn't say this but it doesn't appeal to me. Too slow and dull. However I ran a record rate r on it and it won 29-15 so maybe. I go for the re-re lease on the flip s ide. "

Sandy Gordiner Ottowo Journol But I Love You Ardel s ''I like this sound, it has the Roy Orbi­son fee l and the vocalis t d e live rs well. But the song itself is a little too common­place in the lyrics to be striking.''

Canada's teens. If old El can predict, we would like to say B.C. will soon start the

ball rolling in the u .~ . and it's about time the yankees found out what they have been missing.

Potricia Anne's lares t "Blue Lipsti ck " written for PA by P .F. Sloane is sure ro be a smash! It's on Arc.

Bob Martin and the whole Columbia A&R staff a re talking abour their late s t acquisi­tion Bobby Kris. We und erstand Col umbia is going al l out on Bobby's premiere re­l ease on Col umbia. Watch this one!

Good news for GMP li s­tenera from Col umbia . "Intimately Yours" by Arthur Prysock i s out of sight as is the piano styling of Andre Gag­non . "The Steve Law­rence Show", Frankie Laine's "Roving Gamb­ler" and the "Twin Piano Magic of Ferrante & Teicher" make up a ba g of greats from Co l­um l, ia. "Ain't It True" looks good for Andy Williams with Van Mc Coy ' s ''Butterfly''

making s teady gains up the c harts . The Compo folks move in with a s tron g

s ide by Montrealer Kenny Hamilton. "Dear Brothers, Sisters, a nd Friends" was writ­ten by Gordon Lightfoo t a nd could be the means of ma kin g Ke nn y known nationally. Also from Compo co mes th e Hou-Lops with "Lonely Riverm an". Formerly known as Les T e tes Blanches this group re igns as the numbe r one in French Cana da. The Royal Family make the sce ne once again . This time with " Some time s " a well pro­duc ed disc that should make it nationall y . "That Was The Year That Was" by Tom Lehrer has ca ught on across Canada and

could be one of the bigge s t sellers for the year.

Quality's Giselle he adlines her report this week with a proud lineup of 8 Cana­dian releases. There's no inferiority com ­plex s howin g through here. They're a ll damm good releases and worthy of plays right across the nation. Interest in the re­lease by the Ardels has been high. Borh

' sides "I Love You" and "So Glad You're ·Mine" have been getti ng expos ure . The Berries' " Night Winds " , "So Fine" by The Beau-Marks, "Stuck On Yourself" the Dean Curtis entry, The Regents "Spacewalk " and "I'll Never Forget You" by Dave Francey. "Freckles" by Skip Eva ns a nd Dee and The Yeomen's "Take The First Train Home " are eight good reasons to flag wave at the Qua! ity camp.

Stan Kulin of RCA Vi c tor advises that the new LP by J.B. and The Playboy:. has been very successfu l in the large areas.

:scones, who to the delight of thousands of fans, surpassed th e ir first performance ea rlier this year. Even thou gh littl e sound could be heard from the stage, the audience wer e caught up in the wild fr e nzy of see­·ing th e ir ido ls in person. Some fainted while others just c ried.
