Nancy Gyokeres,Director of Public Relations for SOCAN,worked closely with Mr. Caporal and wasvery taken with his "dedication to the in-dustry, particularly toward youngmusicians." She continues with, "Mark con-stantly gave so much of his time to hundredsof young songwriters . . . helping them withtheir careers. He would take the time to listento their tapes and, because he was a profes-sional musician himself, he added so muchmore to the input of their careers. He becamefriends with these people. It wasn't just a jobto him."

Mel Shaw, veteran producer and ownerof MWC Records, spoke with Mr. Caporalon the Thursday before his death. "Such atragedy for our industry," said Mr. Shaw,"to lose such a young, knowledgeable andpositive link between SOCAN and theburgeoning, young Canadian songwritingcommunity.

There's more to La Bombshell ... ! Thepolitics going on in La Belle Province mayjust keep the lid on a very juicy story, eventhe (disloyal) opposition would like to see itswept under La carpet. There's an old, sleazyname connected here, which should make forinteresting reading . . if it does hit printbefore my book. (EC: An old, sleazy name?)

Go get 'em Chris ... ! Chris Allico*ck, lateof The Music Brokers, and a good sparringpartner at any time, is front and centre withThe Committee For Dance Music Radio.Chris is using his excellent organizationalabilities to mount an assault against thoseperpetrators (EC: Don't you mean"traitors"?) of a country FM licence forToronto. Hey . . . these guys are reallyorganized. The CAB should take note.Coming up are Fight For Your Right ToDance parties, with pretty impressive starbillings of dance artists . . . and get this,they're recording a cassingle titled CRTC(Can't Repress The Cause). All of this; ontop of an appeal to the federal cabinet,

"...the prophets of doom, the messengers ofmediocrity, will be overwhelmed by the newgeneration of competent, creative, confidentartisans, and by all those precedinggenerations who have already demonstratedtheir freshness of mind, their talent, and theircapacity for inspired leadership"

should make the CRTC aware that these guysaren't fooling around. (EC: It's the squeakywheel that gets the attention . . . !)

A time to buy . . . ! With share priceshovering around the 30 cent mark, someonecould pick up a good buy . . . with somethinglike over 200 stores. There's apparently abidder in Quebec and one in Ontario, but Idon't quite understand the bidder in Ontario.He hasn't mastered the telephone yet. Butgetting back to the chain that's rumoured tobe on the block . . . one former beancounter,now president of a major MAJOR , toldme, "This guy's a smart cookie . .. don't sellhim too short." I do know he doesn't want totalk about it on the telephone. Is it for sale orisn't it? A lean cupboard doesn't necessarilymean the wolf's at the door! (EC: Tell that toGoldilocks . . . !)

Discount concerts ... ? The movers andshovers and pushers in the concert businessare complaining about a recession in theircozy little field of endeavour . . . and wehaven't even seen what "big brother" is up toyet. Someone suggested that we just might bein store for discount concerts . . . you know,like "free entry with six tear sheets fromNOW's classified page," or "half price withproof of a Sam blowup." Then there's,always the government trough. There's a listsomewhere with all the names and addressesof where to apply for a grant or, better still, aforgiveable loan. Now, wouldn't that be cute,a distressed, or is it down-and-outconcert promoter . . . or even agent?(EC: You better start checking under yourhood . . . or is it bonnet?)

A powerful message ... ! Seldom have Iseen so much emotion on one stage as that ofSarafina, humbly billed as "A musicalcelebration of South African high schoolstudents," playing Toronto's RoyalAlexan dra Theatre from Sept. 5 throughOct. 13. It's difficult to pick up the dialect,but the message comes through loud andclear through masterful dancing to Africanrhythms, particularly the last couple of sceneswhere the troupe of 30 colourized the stagedressed in their tribal costumes. This is animpact musical with no punches pulled. Youknow immediately who the enemy is.

When you provide a trough . . . don'texpect table manners . . . and the loudest'!oinks" always come from those who havenothing better to do than mount assaults andthrow insults at the people who are just tryingto do their job. Grants and/or forgiveableloans bring out the nastiness in people, mostof them unqualified to begin with. Just incase TB is reading this, I have smelled theroses, and I'm still opposed to grants andsubsidies. (EC: A one-time trip to the troughis never enough . . . !)

CRIA's right on with Bryan Adams! Thetiming for CRIA's Artists Of The Decadeawards couldn't have been more timely.(EC: How timely can you be, a decade is adecade . . . is a decade!) Bryan gets the nod asthe Male. Artist of the Decade, along withk.d. lang, as female, of course, and Rush asthe Group of the Decade, a long overduehonour for this internationally -acclaimedgroup. Bryan, as you will notice elsewhere in

COVER STORY by Peter Steen

Scott Merritt - Gretzky, Bell and small-town pride

The teenage years leave quite an impression

on people. Burlington -born recording artist Scott Merritt lived that era of his life in

Brantford - a town known as the home of

Alexander Graham Bell and the birthplace of Wayne Gretzky.

But it is neither of these two well-known people that interests Merritt; it's the average person, the everyday event, and the small

things that capture his imagination. Some people, especially those claiming

to be artists, may find such 'rustic' settings

too mundane -

unable to facilitate their desire

to be a full-fledged urbane artiste. But Mer- ritt finds much facination and inspiration in his little corner of the world, and he's not

afraid to show it. "I'm trying to echo the place where I

live," he says, "with a little more volume. I

love all the areas of (Brantford). I love all the struggle that goes on there -

from the first industrialist mansions on Dufferan Ave. right

down to the crooked porches down by the

CBC and Westcom present Rock Showdown

CBC Television and Westcom Radio Group Ltd. are co -producing Molson Canadian

Rocks Showdown '90, a special designed to boost the profile of up-and-coming Canadian

bands. The 90 -minute show will be broadcast nationally on CBC Sept. 29 at 7 pm and will

be simulcast on participating radio stations. The show's production team comprises senior

Video Hits producer Pam Macfarlane, director Faith Feingold, executive producer Sandra Faire, and co -executive producer

Neill Dixon, President of Charttoppers. The program highlights ten winners of

radio "homegrown" competitions from across the country. As part of their prize

packages, each band received a performance video shot in their respective home towns.

The special will showcase the videos and the music scene in each of the cities, and will show segments from the Showdown competi- tion held in Toronto Sept. 5. The winner will

go on to represent Canada at the Yamaha Band Explosion '90 World Finals in Japan in

October. CBC's Video Hits will air all ten videos in coming weeks.

Don Shafer, the show's co -producer on behalf of the Westcom Group, called the event "an incredibly worthwhile effort," and

said it marks the first time the public and private sectors have collaborated on a project

of this magnitude. The ten finalists competing in Toronto

are Vancouver's State Of Mind and Dobb & Dumela, Edmonton's Famous Blue

Raincoat, Fall Down Go Boom from Regina, Winnipeg's 20-20, the St. Catherines,

Ontario -based Sven Gali, Toronto's Last -Stand, Ottawa's Sombrero Fallout, Joy

Children from Montreal and Thorns Trio & The Red Albino from St. John's

The special will be simulcast on CFMI-101 Vancouver, K-97 Edmonton,

the old canal and the foot- bridge." The 32 -year -old singer/songwriter and

multi -instrumentalist says that a lot of his pride about his Brantford 'heritage' stems from a desire to be "honest to the whole

thing." He says he doesn't want to appear, in

any way, embarrassed or resentful about where he grew up. In fact, one of his first

publicity items for his current album, Violet And Black, was a postcard map of the town.

Violet And Black, in itself, is a reflection of both Merritt and small-town living - in

this case having Brantford as the backdrop. As with day-to-day living in such environs, certain themes tend to repeat

themselves - themes and images also found in

the album. "Floods, fires and chains," Merritt says,

when addressing the images that crop up again and again on the album. He says that

the flood image is a direct reference to the fact that the land around Brantford is

depressed - thus prone to flooding when

heavy rains or melting snows burst the many creeks and rivers in the area.

But chains invoke a more man-made

sense of trouble; one, perhaps, exacerbated by the confines of limited city limits.

"Chains is an interesting one, just because a lot of the subject matter's about

this little town. And in this little town there's

a longing that's always there. People are always trying to go beyond its little boun- daries

. . . that's more of what Copetown is

about, as far as the image of chains goes. In Blue Field, the chain is, I guess, the same. (But in this case) the character is asking

someone to climb up this chain - the lighten- ing chain

- to get out of this quagmire they're in."

Merritt's own corner of Brantford was a Catholic home, which, he says, while religious, wasn't full of authoritarian doc-

trine. His first exposure to music was when his sister received a copy of The Beatles'

Twist And Shout, delivered "By Eaton's. My sister had been waiting for it for half -a -

month or a month . .. it seemed like forever.

My father told her 'You can play it, but you can't play it on Sunday.' That's when music really started for me," he adds.

The only other musical influence, besides the Beatles' vinyl, came from his

grandmother. "(She) is an Irish woman who used to play fiddle and harmonica. She

passed that along to her daughter, my mother, to a certain degree. But it wasn't a

particularly musical home," he says.

As he reflects on his 'musical' roots, Merritt also reflects on his aim as a

songwriter. "I enjoy, most, being a mirror," he says. "I don't like messages that much ...

with very rare exceptions. I'm mainly drawn by images that strike me, like photos, a lot

deeper than political analysis." One image that comes to mind when one

reads the title Violet And Black, is that of black and blue: an image of violence.

"It's an association that I wouldn't shrug off," Merritt concedes. "It's not, par-

ticularly, what I was getting at, but the tone

RPM - September 15,1990

- 7

of the record is (a darker one). I acknowledge that. (But) the song Violet And Black is

inspired by a certain type of photography. It's a very harsh and realistic sort of

photography that doesn't always portray the subjects in their most glamourous light

. . . but it always has this element of fact about it. It's just the truth you're seeing."

Truth in imagery is something Merritt finds important, especially as a member of

the "television generation." He says "If I see

a photo of a team of Mennonites pulling something - or of some men marching down

the road with some pails to help some flood victim - it has a stronger effect on me than,

generally, when I read the political analysis of `the gathering of strength from the tragic,

recent flood' or something . . .

." That emphasis on images is readily

shifted to the emphasis on lyrics - as opposed

to music - in Merritt's songs. "I think certain

people have upped the ante on what con- stitutes a lyric, and I'm all for that. People

from Tom Waits to Dylan, all those guys, `said' to me 'don't settle for less.' I like to

give every possible person the benefit of the doubt, as far as what they're capable of

grasping or interpreting (in a lyric)." Merritt is able to make a living as a songwriter, and it appears that Brantford will

never cease to supply him with images and ideas for albums' worth of material.

And what of the possiblity that, one day, Gretzky or Bell might find themselves in a Merritt song? "It's never too late, I guess."

I was sitting atthe (Sky)Dome watching the team, looking atthe fans kind of sitting around dormant. Ithought, 'You know, there needs to be somesort of chant.' And this thing came to me,this little rap tune."

The 'little rap tune' eventually becameThe Blue Jays Rap, sung by the Variety ClubRap Group. Platel co -wrote the song, and putit together with the help of CBS and VarietyClub friends. It was released b/w OK, BlueJays, and Platel says, a year later, it "stillsells 150 to 200 units a week."

What started out as a single release even-tually became an album. "What spurred iton," says Platel, "was that when I put outthe rap song, all these other songs began tocome out." He says the SkyDome were play-ing the other novelty songs, but not his.

"I got in touch with the Blue Jays, tryingto find out what was going on, (and saying)`how come you're playing this song when oursong has your endorsem*nt?'" He said whilethe Jays were very supportive, he decided "Ifyou can't beat 'em, get 'em to join ya'.That's when I started working with all thesesongwriters and radio stations."

Citing Toronto stations like CFTR,CFNY, Q107, CHUM and CHUM -FM,Platel says the easy part was recording thesongs - the hard part was being allowed to putthem on an album.

He says "A lot of stations do (parody)lyrics, but they never end up on a record. Ifyou do parody lyrics, and you put them on arecord, you have to get permission from theowner of the song. In this case, what I had todo was contact every songwriter in NorthAmerica who had these songs - includingBrian Wilson of The Beach Boys (for Help Us

Newton -Davis firmed fordate at Lulu's RoadhouseLulu's Roadhouse, one of the largest clubs ofits kind in North America, has just comedown off a hectic summer schedule whichincluded dates by Frankie Ford, BrianHyland, Hank Ballard, The EverlyBrothers, Dan Seals, the Drifters and GaryLewis & The Playboys, and is setting sightshigh for a fall and winter lineup.

Kicking off the fall dates will be ConwayTwitty, who will play one date (Sept. 12),followed by Chubby Checker (14 & 15),veteran Canadian chart -toppers Ottawa'sFive Man Electrical Band (21 & 22), and aToronto favourite, Billy Newton -Davis(28 & 29), who previously released onColumbia. He is currently between hits and isexpected to surface shortly with a new label,single and album.

Lulu's Mary Landreth allows a peek intoOctober's lineup which reveals dates by Jan &Deaii(5 & 6), and Davy Jones of the Monkees(12 & 13).

Mookie (Help Me Rhonda) and I Want ToGet Home (Sloop John B)) - and get permis-sion from them to record new lyrics."

Platel says while most artists were willingto help - at full royalty rates and licencingfees - not all complied. He says the owners ofThe Monster Mash balked at the idea of theoriginal lyrics being bastardized as theMookie Mash.

While the album has only been availablefor about a month - after 11 months in themaking - Platel says the benefits to VarietyClub are already being seen. He says "Lastyear 10,000 units (of the single) were shipped,and we made $4,000 for Variety. This year,we hope to double that," he adds.

"We should move between 6,000 and10,000 units (of the album) if the Jays justcontinue. If they get into post -season play,we'll sell 12,000 units. If they go into postpost -season play, this thing could go throughthe roof. Potentially," he says, "we couldsell 15,000 to 20,000 units if the Jays do well.Based on giving Variety $1 for every unit sold- and that's the way it's been calculated -already we're at $4,000 . . . which is lastyear's contribution."

Platel believes that no matter how muchis raised, the main thing is that the money isgoing to a charity he, CBS, and the Blue Jaysall support and believe in. And he says thatthere are "absolutely no plans, today, for aBlue Jays Album II. Though," he says, "Ifthis one is really successful . . . ."

Marc Jordan edging toward his first hitWell-known Los Angeles -based Canadiansinger/songwriter Marc Jordan has a lot tobe happy about these days. He's back inToronto, a city he loves, awaiting the birth ofhis first child, and feeling the satisfaction ofhaving a hit single. Edge Of The World,taken from his RCA/BMG album COW(Conserve Our World), rests at No. 33 on theRPM Hit Tracks after five weeks of actionand is poised to assault the American chartsas well.

Jordan, whose previous efforts havewon critical praise but not hit status, says hedidn't specifically set out to write a hit song."1 think this is more a radio song than a lotof my other stuff," he says. "It's a little morerock than my last record. It has more guitarsand more of a band feel...It wasn't that I wasthinking that would be more commercial, Iwas just dying to get away from the com-puters." Jordan's spirits are further bolsteredby the upcoming re-release on compact discof his early albums Mannequin and BlueDesert.

In addition to his busy musical career (heis currently working on some material withManhattan Transfer, and contributed a songto the new Tim Feehan album), Jordan re-mains a dedicated activist in the cause of theenvironment. His single, Burning Down TheAmazon, raised money for the RainforestAction Network. The track will appear on aU.N.-sponsored awareness album to bereleased later this month.

Jordan expresses admiration for otherartists with the conviction to take a stand,and is particularly supportive of k.d. lang'scontroversial anti -meat stance. "I'm reallyagainst censorship of any kind, from rapmusic to what k.d. said," he says firmly. "Tocensor these people is like shooting themessenger. Artists reflect the communityfrom which they come, and to censor thembecause you don't like what they're saying isan affront.

"I think she (k.d.lang) is right on. Theconsumption of meat is one of the biggesthealth problems in North America today. It'swasteful, and it's really not a very healthyway to eat."

Although he has resided in Los Angelesfor several years, Jordan says he feels moreand more drawn to Canada. While takingcomfort in the fact that his BeechwoodCanyon neighborhood is home to a growingexpatriate Canadian community, he looks

forward to moving back to Canada when hischild starts school. "This is the best countryin the world to live in," he says emphatically."Compared to the U.S. it's night and day.It's gentle, intelligent, literate...Theweather's not great, but it's beautiful. Moreand more as the years go by I'm a proudCanadian."

The Washington State native hasbrought a lot of Latin -influencedrhythms to Breaking Through; nosurprise since he studied in Brazilunder one of that country's greatestguitarists, Romero Lubambo. Pickinghis way through nine original compositions, Sheeran uses his guitar effec-tively as both a central instrument andbacking piece. The best track, Sonhei("Once I Dreamt"), starts out as asimple guitar solo that eventuallyswells into an over -produced track.This overproduction is foundthroughout the album, which, other.wise, is a well -crafted work.

Fox taping createsa new high for CBC-TVWith Canada's leading variety producer,Sandra Faire, at the helm, observers agreethat the taping of the George Fox musicspecial, George Fox's New Country, hascreated a new high for CBC-TV Variety,from its Creative head Carol Reynolds, downto the camera people. Faire is currentlywrapping up the special which will air Sept.22 (RPM - Sept. 1/90).

The special was taped at severallocations including Ann Dunn's MatadorClub, a legendary after-hours club inToronto, and his Cochrane, Alberta ranch.Guesting on the show are Michelle Wrightand Highway 101. Along with a good mix ofpopular material from his concert repertoire(Angelina, Goldmine, No Trespassing, WithAll My Might, Lime Rickey and HeyJohnny), Fox performs his own version ofStompin' Tom's Sudbury Saturday Night andthen teams with Michelle Wright andHighway 101 for an Everly Brothers medley.

In commenting on taping locations, the30 -year old rancher was quick to point out,"When we were looking for a place to shootthe special, we decided we couldn't tape it allon the ranch . . . we needed a country musichall." He continues with, "That's where TheMatador came in. It's a legendary after-hoursmusic haunt for artists like Roy Clark,Waylon Jennings, Stompin' Tom and manymore." He concludes with, "Well . . . I tellyou, it was perfect and the audience there waswild."

Faire agrees. "I can honestly say I'venever done or seen anything quite like GeorgeFox's New Country. When George started toperform the audience just went crazy. Georgeloved it, threw away his script, and jacket,and he and the audience just had a blast. Theresult is an incredibly entertaining, energeticand completely spontaneous show." Fairehas been front and centre as producer formany of the specials mounted by CBC-TV.She has produced specials for Anne Murray,k.d.lang, Bryan Adams and Corey Hart.

Leonard Rambeau, President of BalmurLtd. and co -executive producer of the special,and Fox's personal manager believes thatthe WEA recording artist "is on the leadingleading edge of an exciting new era in countrymusic."

Fox taping creates a new high for CBC-TV

With Canada's leading variety producer, Sandra Faire, at the helm, observers agree

that the taping of the George Fox music special, George Fox's New Country, has created a new high for CBC-TV Variety,

from its Creative head Carol Reynolds, down

to the camera people. Faire is currently wrapping up the special which will air Sept.

22 (RPM - Sept. 1/90).

The special was taped at several locations including Ann Dunn's Matador

Club, a legendary after-hours club in

Toronto, and his Cochrane, Alberta ranch. Guesting on the show are Michelle Wright

and Highway 101. Along with a good mix of popular material from his concert repertoire

(Angelina, Goldmine, No Trespassing, With All My Might, Lime Rickey and Hey

Johnny), Fox performs his own version of Stompin' Tom's Sudbury Saturday Night and

then teams with ,

Michelle Wright and Highway 101 for an Everly Brothers medley.

In commenting on taping locations, the 30 -year old rancher was quick to point out,

"When we were looking for a place to shoot the special, we decided we couldn't tape it all

on the ranch . . .

we needed a country music hall." He continues with, "That's where The

Matador came in. It's a legendary after-hours music haunt for artists like Roy Clark,

Waylon Jennings, Stompin' Tom and many more." He concludes with, "Well

. . . I tell

you, it was perfect and the audience there was wild."

Faire agrees. "I can honestly say I've

never done or seen anything quite like George

Fox's New Country. When George started to perform the audience just went crazy. George

loved it, threw away his script, and jacket,

and he and the audience just had a blast. The result is an incredibly entertaining, energetic

and completely spontaneous show." Faire has been front and centre as producer for

many of the specials mounted by CBC-TV. She has produced specials for Anne Murray,

k.d.lang, Bryan Adams and Corey Hart. Leonard Rambeau, President of Balmur

Ltd. and co -executive producer of the special, and Fox's personal manager believes that the WEA recording artist "is on the leading

leading edge of an exciting new era in country music."

Reynolds echoes Rambeau's feelings,

going on to point out that Fox's audience "is

one of the youngest and most culturally

diverse I've ever seen for a country artist.

The special is real, it's gritty . . .

and quite

unlike any country show anyone has ever seen

on Canadian or, for that matter, North American television." She concludes with,

"George captivated everyone . . .

he's

talented, natural and it's obvious that he was having fun

. . . it's rare to see that on

television."

The Fox special is a co -production

between Balmur Ltd. and CBC Television.

Bentall busts out ... ! Crime Against Love,the new release from Barney Bentall & TheLegendary Hearts, is by far this week'shighest new add as it enters at No. 48. Thenext highest entry is from Was (Not Was).Their remake of Papa Was A Rolling Stonedebuts at No. 65. Also enterting this week isthe second release from Armchair Theatre.Lift Me Up comes in at No. 80. Jeff Lynne ishoping it does as well as the first song, EveryLittle Thing, which peaked at No. 8.

Trivia ... ! Tonight by the New Kids reachesthe Top 10 this week. It's from the 4th NewKids' album to have reached the Album chartthis year (the others being Merry, Merry,Christmas, New Kids On The Block, Hangin'Tough, and Step By Step). Check the Albumchart and see how many otherartists you can name who have had more thanone album on the chart this year. There areseven others.

Collins makes it six in a row! Phil Collins'Something Happened On The Way ToHeaven jumps to No. 9, making it his sixthstraight Top 10 hit. As a solo act, he also hadsix straight Top 10 hits in the early -to -mideighties before Don't Lose My Number brokethe string when it peaked at No. 11 in Sept.1985.

Gunning for the top . . . ! Jon Bon Joviinches his way near the top on both the HitTracks and Album chart. Blaze OfGlory/Young Guns II bullets to No. 5 whilethe song Blaze Of Glory climbs to No. 4 andchallenges Vision Of Love for the top spotnext week.

Black magic . . . ! Janet Jackson is hopingto continue to ride the wave of success fromher current album. First came Miss YouMuch (which peaked at No. 2), then RhythmNation (peaking at No. 6), then Escapade(her first No. 1), then Come Back To Mecurrently at No. 3. Now comes the fifthrelease, Black Cat, debuting at No. 79. Thissong is quite a change from any of herprevious releases and could be a test of herpopularity.

Reaching into the past ... ! Back in Mayof 1982, Asia's self titled debut album wasNo. I on the RPM Album chart. Theirsecond album, Alpha, reached No. 10 inSept. of 1983. Their third album, Astra,peaked at No. 66 in December of 1985. Theirgreatest hits album, Then And Now, has justbeen released and enters the chart at No. 83.

Twice as good . . . ! The seven remainingartists who have had more than one album onthe chart this year are: Milli Vanilli (Girl YouKnow It's True/Remix Album), The JeffHealey Band (See The Light/Hell To Pay),Rod Stewart (Storyteller/Downtown Train),Madonna (Like A Prayer/I'm Breathless),Kim Mitchell (Rockland/I Am A WildParty), Soul II Soul (Keep On Movin'/Vol11-1990), and Paula Abdul (Forever YourGirl/Shut Up And Dance).

NINO I iJ*MOby Peter Steen

Metallic re-emergence . . . ! Hardrock/metalheads Metallica have made it backon the RPM long -form chart. The band hadbeen here once before (July 28), but quicklyexited the following week. But, bouyed byretail sales at Sam's and HMV, the band isback, making only two the number of hardrock/metal videos on the Top 10 (theother being the compilation Hard 'N' HeavyVolume 7).

Shell Game . . . ! A&A's top sellinglong -form list includes two videos fromTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Super RocksSteady . . and Cowabunga Shreadhead).While both have been best sellers south of theborder, none of the TMNT long -forms havereally caught on in the Great White North. Isit the weather?

More Morrison . . . ! His long -form, InConcert, has more than made a healthycomeback after leaving the chart two weeksago; and it appears that he may stay awhile.Van Morrison is selling well at both MusicWorld and Sam's, and while he probablywon't climb as high as he used to be, he'llmost likely continue to rack up quiet,healthy sales.

Love you till . . . you return! After tenweeks on the RPM long -form video chart(peaking at No. 2, Aug. 11), David Bowie hasbid adieu. While his long -form, Love YouTill Tuesday, is still selling, it hasn't beenable to compete with the numbers racked upby all the others.

01' timers rule . . . ! Six of the ten long -forms on the chart have been there for at least14 weeks; two have never missed a week(NKOTB's Hangin' Tough and SineadO'Connor's Value Of Ignorance). But the sixare all in the Top 7, proving that video suc-cess stories hang around as long, if notlonger, than their album or CD counterparts.

Bentall busts out ... ! Crime Against Love,

the new release from Barney Bentall & The

Legendary Hearts, is by far this week's

highest new add as it enters at No. 48. The

next highest entry is from Was (Not Was).

Their remake of Papa Was A Rolling Stone

debuts at No. 65. Also enterting this week is

the second release from Armchair Theatre.

Lift Me Up comes in at No. 80. Jeff Lynne is

hoping it does as well as the first song, Every

Little Thing, which peaked at No. 8.

Trivia ... ! Tonight by the New Kids reaches

the Top 10 this week. It's from the 4th New

Kids' album to have reached the Album chart

this year (the others being Merry, Merry,

Christmas, New Kids On The Block, Hangin'

Tough, and Step By Step). Check the Album

chart and see how many other artists you can name who have had more than

one album on the chart this year. There are

seven others.

Collins makes it six in a row! Phil Collins'

Something Happened On The Way To

Heaven jumps to No. 9, making it his sixth

straight Top 10 hit. As a solo act, he also had

six straight Top 10 hits in the early -to -mid

eighties before Don't Lose My Number broke

the string when it peaked at No. 11 in Sept.

1985.

G- unning for the top . . .

! Jon Bon Jovi

inches his way near the top on both the Hit

Tracks and Album chart. Blaze Of Glory/Young Guns II bullets to No. 5 while

the song Blaze Of Glory climbs to No. 4 and

challenges Vision Of Love for the top spot

next week.

Black magic . . .

! Janet Jackson is hoping

to continue to ride the wave of success from

her current album. First came Miss You

Much (which peaked at No. 2), then Rhythm

Nation (peaking at No. 6), then Escapade

(her first No. 1), then Come Back To Me

currently at No. 3. Now comes the fifth

release, Black Cat, debuting at No. 79. This

song is quite a change from any of her

previous releases and could be a test of her

popularity.

Reaching into the past .

! Back in May of 1982, Asia's self titled debut album was

No. I on the RPM Album chart. Their second album, Alpha, reached No. 10 in

Sept. of 1983. Their third album, Astra, peaked at No. 66 in December of 1985. Their

greatest hits album, Then And Now, has just been released and enters the chart at No. 83.

Twice as good . . .

! The seven remaining

artists who have had more than one album on the chart this year are: Milli Vanilli (Girl You

Know It's True/Remix Album), The Jeff Healey Band (See The Light/Hell To Pay),

Rod Stewart (Storyteller/Downtown Train), Madonna (Like A Prayer/I'm Breathless),

Kim Mitchell (Rockland/I Am A Wild

Party), Soul II Soul (Keep On Movin'/Vol 11-1990), and Paula Abdul (Forever Your

Girl/Shut Up And Dance).

Metallic re-emergence . . .

! Hard rock/metalheads Metallica have made it back

on the RPM long -form chart. The band had been here once before (July 28), but quickly

exited the following week. But, bouyed by retail sales at Sam's and HMV, the band is

back, making only two the number of hard rock/metal videos on the Top 10 (the

other being the compilation Hard 'N' Heavy Volume 7).

Shell Game . . .

! A&A's top selling long -form list includes two videos from

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Super Rocks Steady

. . . and Cowabunga Shreadhead).

While both have been best sellers south of the border, none of the TMNT long -forms have

really caught on in the Great White North. Is

it the weather?

More Morrison . . .

! His long -form, In Concert, has more than made a healthy

comeback after leaving the chart two weeks

ago; and it appears that he may stay awhile.

Van Morrison is selling well at both Music World and Sam's, and while he probably won't climb as high as he used to be, he'll

most likely continue to rack up quiet, healthy sales.

Love you till . . .

you return! After ten weeks on the RPM long -form video chart

(peaking at No. 2, Aug. 11), David Bowie has bid adieu. While his long -form, Love You Till Tuesday, is still selling, it hasn't been

able to compete with the numbers racked up by all the others.

01' timers rule . . .

! Six of the ten long -

forms on the chart have been there for at least 14 weeks; two have never missed a week

(NKOTB's Hangin' Tough and Sinead O'Connor's Value Of Ignorance). But the six

are all in the Top 7, proving that video suc-

cess stories hang around as long, if not longer, than their album or CD counterparts.

Communicty Centre/Child Day Care Centre.

of this nature. Included are Ronnie Prophet, The Good Brothers, Carmen Westfall,

Kelita, Tim Taylor, Phil Halliday, The Saddletramps, Brent Lee & The Outsiders

and Kenny King & The Rocking Horse.
