 MUSIC a VIDEO WEEK JANUARY 31. 1981

ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to the present confusion over the UK

music publishers copyright rate for video

cassettes, VCL have decided to accept the MRS

recommended rate card until the British

Videogram Association completes its negotia-

tions with the MCPS.

VCL will continue however to clear and

negotiate separate licences with those pub-

lishers who do not collect through MCPS. As

part of its future policy, VCL will endeavour to

work closely with those publishers who are able

to negotiate a rate which reflects the true

economics within the video market.

Software supp iers

Every week, more and more dealers decide to move

into video software as an extra source of income, and
to prepare themselves for what is one of the few
growth businesses in the UK at the moment.
But many are unfamiliar with the practices of this
new industry, the range and breadth of titles available,
and the trade agreements used.
Here Music & Video Week publishes an A-Z of the
leading software companies, although there are many
more dealing in just a few titles, giving a brief
background to each, and their trade terms.
Many dealers who are just starting with video might
be advised to take stock from a wholesaler who will
offer a range of product from different companies. But
some companies do not use wholesalers, and those are
mentioned here. Also included are the three leading
wholesalers in the country, although again, there are
more starting up and in existence.

Joint ILR application

for Bury St Edmunds

THE IBA has received only one application for the contract to set up an ILR
service based in Bury St Edmunds and this heralds the likelihood of the first
associate operation in the ILR network.
The IBA invited franchise applications from consortia wishing to run a
station independently or in association with another station. By the closing
dale of January 20 the only application received was from Saxon Radio in
association with Radio Orwell, the existing Ipswich-based ILR contractor.
The company is based at Orwell's headquarters at Electric House, Lloyds
Avenue, Ipswich IP1 3HZ.
For the first time a precis of the application is being made available by the
IBA on January 27 from its office at 24 Castle Meadow, Norwich NR1 3DH.
Copies of the full application will be available for scrutiny from the same date
at certain public libraries in and around Bury St Edmunds, as well as at the
IBA's Norwich and London offices.
On March 2 there will be a public meeting at the Athenaeum, Angel Hill,
Bury St Edmunds.
The predicted population coverage of the station is 82,000 on VHF and
120,000 on medium wave during daytime.

NEW YORK: Exactly what the impact will be of the Federal L.
Communication Commission's de-regulation of radio is a matter of
speculation. . . T
Those praising the decision, which eliminates restrictions on the A
number of commercials permitted per hour and on the percentage of J
news and public affairs programming broadcast by the stations, feel
free market competition will be sufficient to keep stations operating
"in the public interest". t
Those opposing the decision — primarily public interest groups %h
claiming to protect minority viewpoints — believe that, with stations
called upon to provide only limited documentation of how they serve K
community interests, there will be no effective way to evaluate licence
distribution and renewal. .
About the only aspect of the decision almost universally agreed C
anon is that much of the late Sunday night public affairs
programming now on the air will disappear. Sunday night is a low
listening time, and thus a catch-all for stations to fulfil their FCC

Video cassettes will be drawn from the newly-created CBS and i*J

ACCORDING TO Business End Ltd's Peter Leak, in New York
overseeing management and development of Polyrock and readying
the group for their Rainbow appearance next month, the burgeoning
New York club scene now requires guarantees that a band won't play
another room within eight days of an engagement. JHE /^LAN pARSONS
Not so long ago, such restrictive binders were for six months and
more. Currently many bands play as often as they can, building their
foilowings and honing their stagecraft.
An exception to the rule: Police announced a "surprise" PROJECT
engagement at the Ritz two nights after their sell-out dale at Madison
Square Garden.
THE ALMOST year-old pre-trial battle between Federal prosecutors
and defence attorneys for Sam Goody and several of the chain's top
executives appears to be winding towards a trial date.
Judge Thomas C Platt has denied Goody lawyers' calls for a The new single
dismissal of the indictment for the illegal sale and distribution of
counterfeit recordings. Platt also dismissed accusations of
prosecutorial misconduct and improprieties in the handling of the
Grand Jury", along with attempts to differentiate between "stolen"
and "counterfeit" goods. QAMES
The Goody defence attempted to establish a distinction between the
fact that the actual tapes were not stolen, and that the "sounds" on
them were. The judge insisted that "once tape and sounds are joined,
the resulting product is a single entity, and if the more important
component, the sounds can be characterised as 'stolen', then the
entire entity should be so characterised". PEOPLE pLAY
THE SALE of Motown's Jobete Music publishing wing to Charles
