THE FUTURE OF HOME VIDEO

This year the home video business could become a $5 billion baby at retail.
The industry should move 75 million to 85 million cassettes worth as
much as $3.5 billion at wholesale. More than 10,000 industry
figures will attend the Aug. 23-28 VSDA convention. Each is fighting
for a piece of the profits in an increasingly brutal marketplace.
Indeed, for some, the key question is not growth, but survival.

networks and channels have told you
what to watch. Whether you wanted that
programming or not. And they told you
when to watch. Whether it was convenient

Well, that's all over. Because, starting
August 24th, there is a totally new kind of

see. When you want to see it. Because you,
and your family, control the programming
on your own TV set.
It's called KLV-TV. Which stands for
Karl'Lorimar Video-Televison. And it's a
complete network: With a total variety of
programming that includes the complete
world of entertainment from newly-released
feature films to music video; sports and fit-
ness shows; important how-to programming;
children's entertainment and educational
material; and even video publishing, which
brings you specially-selected important
material from leading periodicals.
In short, KLV-TV makes available to you
the best of the other networks. Plusmany
breakthrough shows they can't, or won't,
send your way. Simply put, KLV-TV is the
first network made up exclusively of video -

Quality A Higher Priority
BY JIM McCULLAUGH
LOS ANCELES MCA Records has
embarked on an ambitious cam-
paign to s^ignificantly upgrade the
technical quality of albums and
cassettes This endeavor was re-
cently punctuated by the creation of
a vice-president slot for recording
and quality assurance.
"This is a priority that comes
from the top, Irving Azoff and My-

has been directing recording and
quality assurance for MCA for the
past two years at the label's MCA/
Whitney recording/mastering com-
plex in nearby Glendale Prior to
this position, he was a Capitol
Records staff engineer The com-
mitment to upgrading began soon
after Wooley's amval at the label.
Wooley confirms that it was a time
when the label did not enjoy the

what's going on, particularly since
we have a large saturation of prod-

Cetera Savors Solo Success Of 'Solitude/Solitaire'
BY STEVE GETT
NEW YORK PvWt Cftorn Irns gar-
nered insUnt solo sufcess with his
recent No 1 hit on thi> Hot IIH) Sin-
gles chart. "Glor>' Of Love (Theme
From The Karate Kid. Phrt
But the former Chicago vocalist
says he originally planned to launch
his debut Warner Bros album. "Sol-
itude Solitaire." with an uptempo
single rather than a ballad.
"Although I'm very proud of my
ballads. 1 also want people to recog-
nize me for the other types of songs
I record." says Cetera.
'Toward the end of my days with
Chicago, when
'Stay
we had hits with
The Night' and 'Along Comes
A Woman.' that was kind of gratify-
ing to me. But then again, a No. 1 is
a No 1. and I'm obviously very hap-
"
py
Cetera started working on "Soli-
tude /Solitaire" last June. "It took
about nine months to finish, going
back and forth, writing and rewrit-
ing." he says "But it was definitely
a quicker process lhan doing a Chi-
cago record.
"You don't have to filter every-
thing through other people, and
there's nobody else to have to fight
over everything with. So it was
much simpler."
.Asked why he left Chicago, Cet-
era says. "They just wanted to tour.
I wanted to do a solo album, and it
was a case of never the twain shall
meeL' I'd worked hard to bring the
group back up to No. 1 status, and
kind of felt it was time for me
step out on my own."
UA Issues Debut Single
Mancrab Is 'Tears' Spin-off
NEW YORK Newly created Unit-
ed Artists Records has released its
first single. Mancrab's "Fish For
Life." The rock''dance-oriented
song is lifted from the label's highly
successful soundtrack for Columbia
Pictures' summer blockbuster mov-
ie "The Karate Kid. Part II."
Mancrab may be a new name, but
the group is actually the brainchild
of Tears For Fears' keyboardist Ian
Stanley and multi-instrumentalist
Roland Orzabal The two musicians
wrote, produced, and played on
"Fish For Life" with newcomer Ed-
die Jr. singing lead vocals.
"Mancrab started off as a vehicle
for me and Roland to work on dance
songs, staying more in the back-
—
ground just writing and produc-
ing." says Stanley. "It's interesting
to be able to do that sort of stuff
outside of Tears For Fears,"
Vocalist Eddie Jr. connected with
Stanley and Orzabal after he ap-
peared as a dancer in the video for
Tears For Fears' 1985 chart-topper
"Everybody Wants To Rule The
World." He then made several »\>-
pea ranees with the group on its tour
to support the "Songs From The
Big Chair" album.
Mancrab came to the attention of
UA president Jerry Greenberg
while he was involved in putting to-
gether the soundtrack for "The Ka-
"
rate Kid. Part II

Aside from taking his time select-
ing a manager. Cetera was also dili-
gent choice of a record pro-
in his
ducer, "Solitude/Solitaire" was pro-
duced by Michael Omartian. whose
past credits include Cetera's
Warner Bros label mates Rod
Stewart and t^'hnstopher Cross.
"I wanted somebody around me
who the record company would
have faith in rather than have them
thinking. 'Oh. tiod' Here he goes,
producing himself.' " says Cetera,
"Michael was great to work with
because he's musical, and when I
write I like someone I can bounce
"
ideas off
Shortly before the album was tin-
ished, Cetera met with Jerry (Ireen
berg, president of the newly created
United Artists Records, to discuss
the possibility of recording a song
for UA's "The KaraU' Kid. Part 11
"
soundtrack album
"When I met Jerry and Bob
[Greenberg. executive vice presi-
dent of UA]. I had the basic concept
and a few lines for "Glory ()f
Love." "' says Cetera.
I "Initially, I played them a more
to uptempo song 1 had, which they
liked. But they told me they were
Mel. when he was supervising mu-
sic at Columbia Pictures, and Peter
Price at 10 Rectirds in London."'
says (Jreenberg "As soon as I
heard it. I felt it would be great for
the movie and knew it would be
something we'd want to go for as a
single And it's an excellent way to
launch a new act"
Though he has mixed feelings
about soundtrack albums. Stanley
says. "This was a nice break be-
cause it is the (inly medium where
you can release a single in America
without doing a whole album."
Recording the next Tears For
Fears album, due next spring, is
very much a priority for Stanley,
but he says Mancrab w-ill be an on-
going project. "We'll definitely be
doing more recording," he .says
After making itA initial mark with

Columbia Bows Woodentops' Debut Album
BY JEFF TAMARKIN
NFW YORK
After kif-ginK a riuiii-
\wr of stronK-sellini; sinj^Ii-s in the
U.K. on the indepenilent Kout;h
Trade label, the Woodentops have
begun to make waves in the U.S
with their Columbia debut album.
"Giant."
Rut the members of the tl.K
$n*oup say ianditi^ a major label deal
has not jrone to their heads.
"We realise that whatever hap-
pens for us isn't goinif to happen to-
—
morrow we're going to lake our
time," says vocaiist/songwriter
Kolo McGinty.
"So far everythmg has been at a
pace that I can stand, and I've ad
justed slowly to it Maybe in Ihret-
years' time my head will be the sizf
of a planet, but for now I have too
—
many things to do like writing
songs— to be interrupted by the sue
cess business."
McGinty's take-it as-it-comes phi-
losophy shared by the Wooden-
is
tops' manager. Seb Shelton. himself
a veteran of the "success business
"
Shelton drummed with Uexy's Mid
night Runners when that group
scored its 1983 worldwide chart-top-
ping single, "Come On Kileen"
"I don't think in terms of hit
records— I think in terms of ca
recrs." says Shelton. "Y'ou have to
have hit records, but if you have a
lot to build on and you become pro-
gressively bigger, then you main-
tain confidence with the business
"
people you work with
Longterm development stategies
are essential for hands, says Shel
ton, "Then the artist has some time
to absorb it all, and you're not wor-
rying whether the group has a hit
record. 1 don't think we should rush
from lero to 100," he says.
Recalling that Dexy's was forced
to cancel tour dates because of poor
ticket sales just after "Cflme On Ei-
leen" had tupped the charts, Shelton
says that band's problem was the
absence of a firm U.S. base fieyond
its hit single. He says he is deter-
mined to prevent the Woodentops
from falling into a similar trap.
"We're treating the Wwdentops
as a <}uality group with a tpiality al-

The Cramps paid tribute to
rock'n'roll's roots while twisting

spite the touching cover of Rick
Nelson's "Lonesome Town." the
Stray Cats they're not.
Stripped of their visuals, the
Cramps would pass as a better-
than-average updated cartoon/hor-
nir-show version of the band in any
vintage Presley film. Their cover of
Elvis' campy "Do The Clam" was an
inspired choice.
Much of the intense crowd reac-
tion was for "Poison" Ivy's gold bi-
kini and Interior's dousing of vari-
ous parts of his body with wine,
'
climbing into the balcony, and
smashing microphone stands. As a
package, it works; the Cramps,
whose most recent album, "A Date
With Elvis," IS only available on im-
port, didn't last this long on chops
alone.
The Screaming Blue Messiahs, an
English trio here to support its
Elektra album, "Gun-Shy," was of-
ten reminiscent of a young Clash.
But the group traded in that band's
speed, sloppiness. and aggression
for a more tempered, insistent,

CAMCORDER WARS HEAT I P

By STEPHEN WILLIAMS
Used to be that the boast was, "Mine's big-
ger than yours" But Sony Corp. and the
Victor Co have put a reverse spin on that
old cliche, and. for companies rooted in Japan,
they've been uncharacteristically unsubtle about it.
Smaller is better in lots of ways these days, but
almost nowhere is it more pronounced than m the
consumer market for self-contained, high-quality
home video cameras.
According to the pundits, this is to be the year of
the camcorder, or at least the year that it becomes
a high-profile item in the consumer electronics in-
dustry. The Electronic Industries Assn is predicting
that camcorder sales will double in 1986, with
sales of more than a million units and revenues of
almost $1 billion
Not a bad slice of the electronics pie for the maior
players, Sony and JVC among them. In a recent se-

Despite VSDA's numerous accomplishments,
Granberg still sees a number of reasons to stay on
guard. One such issue is adult video.
It's not so much that she is pro-adult product, as
much as she is and-censorship.
Says Granberg. " What we're concerned about is
the whole philosophical attitude which has been ex
pressed via the Meese Commission and the Moral
Maiority. which seeks to limit the creativity of any
artist— whether it's an artist that's doing a motion
picture or making a phonograph record or painting
a mural, or whatever! That's why we chose 'Freedom
Of Choice' as a convention theme We are very con-
cerned about the entire censorship issue. We do not
endorse censorship in any form

We have the membered only too well the

beating that its Beta format
has taken (and is still taking) at
the hands of VHS. a recent EIA

pared to 13% for Beta.
While 8mm is still in its in-

8mm equipment). Sony sees it
as the format to reckon v*ith.
Sales of 8mm product peaked
at Christmas —
the format is
still partly seen as a novelty

and slufted off quickly But the

commitment was made "Half-
inch tapes IS a dated, 12-year-
old technology." Sony of Amer-

Sony's research and devel-

Of course JVC. which just

The maiors are out to change
allthat by wooing retailers into
stocking unproven (and usually
unknown) non-feature titles in
hopes of achieving sell-through

"Wooing." by some retailer's
definitions, translates to being

From Granberg s perspec-

clearly up to the dealer.
She does acknowledge that

a smaller percentage of the

out by VSDA s 1985 annual
member survey, which showed
that roughly 50%
of the
group's members do not carry
such product, and that adult
video only accounts for 10%
of the prerecorded in stores
that do carry it.
"Clearly, the trend is that

The Spanish-language videocassette busi-
ness continues to grow slowly by penetrat-
ing small retail stores and some big chains,
increasing its catalog, and improving the appear-
ance of their product. Still many manufacturers and
distributors feel they are facing a marketplace that
overlooks their goods and underestimates their
worth As a result, they have established the Span-
ish Home Video Assn.
"We believe there are some misconceptions
about Spanish-language videocassettes that might
be hampering the expansion of our business The
association will provide us a tool to clarify some
wrong impressions by providing a realistic image of
the industry." says David Quintero. vice president
( of marketing for VideoVisa. Beverly Hills VideoVisa
is one of the top national distributors of Spanish-
language videocassettes. "With a clear set of goals
these minor obstacles can be solved withm a year
"Together we will be able to make better use of
our resources, educate the marketplace about the
profitability of our product, (ight piracy, and raise
awareness about the quality of the goods we have to
offer."

talk business. The irony is that in L A. many of the
small stores are owned by Orientals who don't

Since the majority of the business continues to be

cultural identity

The burgeoning Spanish-language videocassette
market is allowing small independent producers to
create and accomplish projects they couldn't afford
before and bigger ones to segment audiences and
produce specifically for them Consequently. Vid-

Part of the increase can be attributed to the

jor accounts
The 'Canyon Consort" film is a
documentary of how Paul Wmler's |

troop composed the music for the

"Canyon" album. But. says Ham-
mond, the music in the movie,
which was originally an indcpen
dently produced home video re-
lease, does not match the music on
the album. "It's largely improvisa
tion. It is more about how they
wrote the music, but it really
doesn t contain music from the al-
bum"
The film has won three film-fes-
tival awards, most recently earn-
ing best of show honors at July's
Padua Film Festival in Italy
Although the telecast will pri-
marily boost the Winter Consort
and Its "Canyon" release. Living
Music hopes to use the national ex-
posure to push iLs entire line of !1
titles, most of which feature label
founder Winter.
To that end. stores participating

Added ingredients this year

tion to Assist Cunadian Talent
—
(VideoFAOT) a fund s{«insiirv<l
by Canadian vid«o music chanDct
MuchHusic tn help artists fi-
—
nance vidclips poured between
$140,000 and $I5U.(M)U into pro-
duction in il.s second year of op-
eration ending July 1, says prtjsi-
dent Berniv Finkelstein.
That money helped (.'enerate
40 music videos, trencnilly pop-
oriented, and continues to make
VideoFACT the largest financier
of Canadian video While Finkel-
stein believes the quality of ap-
plicants was far higher in the
second year, he says there is ev-
ery possibility that the quality
could rise dramatically in the
year to come.
The federal government indi-
cated earher it would assist Ca-
nadian independent artists
through a five-year, $2.'i million
program. .\n estimated $2 mil-
lion of that figure will be allotted
to music videos, and it is
that VideoFACT will disburse
the money through its cross-sec-
tional board of industryites.
If that happens, says Finkel-
stein, "We'll be able to help both
the viable and developing art-
ists."
The average grant, payable
upon completion of the vidclip,
was meagre by many stan-
dards—about $4,000 But Finkel-
stein says he remains startled
that some see VideoFACT funds
as an entitlement, not as a god-
send Because there's nothing
compelling the foundation to
help every artist, Finkelstein
feels that artists should treat the
fund as icing on the cake, not as
essential underwriting
During the year. VideoFACT
helped such successes in Canada
as Jane Siberry. the Arrows, the
Bo-x, Haywire, Chalk Circle, and
Liberty Silver.
It is estimated that in the 1986-
87 operatingyear, about
will be available
$lfi.'i,000
through the fund However. if
the government signals ita will-
ingness to allow VideoFACT to
administer the federal funds, the
money will increase fourfold.
Also awaiting government de-
cision IS the Foundation to Assist
Canadian Talent on Record-Ca-
nadian Talent Library (FAC-
TOR-CTL). which helps finance
audio recordings It expects to
disburse the federal funds ear-
marked for recording assistance,
but It hasn't yet received a final
decision reganling availability of
these funds.
Last year, VideoFACT re
ceived 225 applications, most of
them from Ontario. Quebec, and
British Columbia Of the -10
grants, 24 went to Ontario art-
ists, nine went lo Quebec, three
to British Columbia, two to Al-
berta, and two to the Maritime

((inourreiit WCBH radio pro-
grams featurint! digitally recorded
concerts or compact disks are also
part of the experiment.
In order to participate in the
test, listeners must have a video-
cassette recorder and a PCM digi-
tal audio processor (such as the
Sony F-l or 5011.
Once the digital audio signal is
converter! into a video format by
WGBH. viewers can use the VCR
to feed the signal to the digital pro-
cessor, which then decodes the au-
dio and allows it to he played over
a home stereo system The sound
(ualily is reportedly comparable
to CD
During the test hours, the en-
coded digital signal on Channel 44
IS visible as a series of modulated
black and white lines
"It could become a whole new
band for radio." says Dave Mac-
Carn. WGBH's director of engi-
neering "We're simply using the
UHF spectrum lo get the signal lo
the user. This transmission pro-
= ro audio/video
villi's a new method of gelling the
highest'i|uality audio to the pub-
lic."
MacCarn says the FCC is in the
process of "carving up" the upper
part of the UHF band, and he'd
like to see a piece of the space
above Channel 6(1 be allocated to
the new digital transmission mode
"Because digital is in a video for-
mat. It's a natural," .says MacCarn
The digital transmission only
uses half of the standard TV band
width. MacCarn says. "You could
put all digital radio stations on
where only 10 UHF TV stations
could have existed"
Are there commercial applica-
tions for the new system? Mac-

Comyn To Key
NEW YdRK Stan Comyn, presi-
dent of the Record Gmup, is set Ui
keynote the Hlsl Audio Engineer-
ing Society convention, Nov. 12-16
in Los Angeles.
Comyn has been an outspoken
proponent of digital audio technol-
ogy and the comfwcl disk, begin-
ning long before CD gained popu-
lar acceptance The Record (jroup
is now working with PolytJram
Records and N V Philips on devcl
oping software for the recently
unveiled CD-I interactive CD for-
mat
Comyn, who has in the past ad-
dressed the concept of computer-
controlled audio/video applica-
tions for I'D, will speak on CD-I's
vast potential now that the indus
try has agreed upon the Sony/
V-
Cam thinks sn. "I see thus as a po-
tential pay channel, or even a new
basic cabie feature lo entice sub-
scribers interested in high-end au-
dio," he says. "It's easy to put on a
satellite. It's also easy to put on
the air with a standard low-power
TV transmitter
"
While WGBH estimates that
only 200-500 listeners in the Bos-
Ion area are etjuipped with the
gear necessary to receive the digi-
tal broadcasts, Mac('arn feels that
could change r4Uickly, once a de-
mand for the audiophile transmis-
sions IS established.

U.K.'s M&S Makes Music
BY PETER JONES
LONDON The giant Marks &
Spencer chain plans to expenment
with the marketing and sale of clus
sicalrecordings this fall, collaborat-
ing on the ambitious project with
composer Andrew Lloyd Webber's
Really Useful Group and the Lon-
don Philharrntmic Orchestra,
Initial releases will \ie on a laliel
bearing the chain's St. Michael
trade name The launch in Septem
ber starts with five new relea.ses
and a commitment that the opera-
tion, if successful, will provide a
minimum of 10 recordings a year
for the next three years
The records will be available at
selected stores within the '269 M4S
U K chain and will lie released in
LP. cassette, and compact disk for-
mats.
The role of the London Philhar-
monic is to provide musician person
nel for works requiring more than
five players and to select artists for
smaller-scale pieces. The idea was
initiated by the LPO and its manag-
ing director, .lohn Wilian, a former
KM! Records producer
His first approach to Marks &
Spencer was turned down, fur the
chain had been unsuccessfully in-
volved in the record business some
in years ago But he returned with
a revised plan set up in conjunction
with .Anna Barry, another former
KM executive an<l now a producer

In U.K.
tween 4 a m and S a.m. on a Sunday
morning, did the audience drop to a
so<alled "zeni rating." which is be-
low the minimum recordable level.
For the final hour. Yorkshire
claimed an average audience of
100.000 people, more than the num-
ber that watched the opening hour of
the early-morning fare that followed.
Commercials running through the
night include spots for pop records,
jeans,and other mainly youth-orient-
ed products, along with a govern-
ment campaign against drug abuse.
Yorkshire says the all-night fare
was watched in kxsd late-night res-
taurants, bars, and nightclubs as well
as in homes
Paul Fox, managing director of
Yorkshire Television, which has a
stake in the Superchannel/MusK Box
firm, says, "In pioneenng another
first, we've blended television and
pop music, two fields in which Britain
leads the world. It's a three-month
tnal. and we'll review results at the
end."
Other U.K. television companies
are watching the exi)erimenl with in-
terest, as is the Inde|)endent Broad-
castmg Authority, which gave it the
go-ahead. Given the encouraging rat-
ings Yorkshire has collected, it seems
a fair bet that nationwide round-the-
clock broadcasting wnll be instituted.
on top of the $^'i,<NN) already paid in
session fees.
Says Barry. "There is clearly a
mass market for a high-quality
product of this kind. Where Marks
& Spencer failed in the past was in
using recordings that were not ex-
clusive to It.
"
The first releases were recorded
at EMI's .Abbey Road studios in
July, withMike Sheedy as sound en-
gineer They go on sale initially in
six stores nationwide in late Sep-
tember. Details on pricing are not
yet available, but the estimated re-
tail price is seen as around $ti for
LPs and cassettes and some {12 for
CDs.
Initial releases include Elgar's
"Enigma Variations. conducted by "
Richard Armstrong, of the Welsh
National Opera Company. Vivaldi's
"Four Seasons." and a selection of
"light" Mozart works. Planned for
the first batch was a recital by Bar
ry Douglas, w ho won the Tchaikov-
sky Piano Cimqietition in Moscow
this summer Because of Douglas'
late commitmenLs. however. Peter
Donohoe. winner of last year's
Tchaikovsky event, was booked to
provide a set of Rachmaninolf pre-
ludes
That the London Philharmonic is
taking such an eager role in the St
Michael's label launch is no sur-
prise, for the members were notice-
ably put out by the way the Royal
own-name label months ago

Scott Marden. newly named vice

Trust, Marden held several posi
lions with CBS. including presi-
dent of CBS International Publish
ing, vice president of planning and
development for CBS Educational
and Professional Publishing, and
director of planning and develop-
ment for the CBS Columbia (.Iroup.
Marden says Bankers Trust is
looking to get involved in a broad
range of communication and enter-
tainment industries, which, in ad-
dition to television and radio,
would include publishing, satelite
communications, and cellular radio
as well as motion picture, record,

industry veterans with people
from the streets and the large in-
vestment banks." says Marden.
Although his area includes only
himself and an associate. Marden
says Bankers Trust has 211 M4A
officers in New York and another
30 around the country and that he
will "draw on the department as a
whole. Over time, we'll be adding
industry experts and work closely

"We're not coming to this late at
all," he says. "Over the last file
years, a lot of stations have gone
private, and. over the next five
years, I think a lot of them will go
public again to acquire properties
in the middle range, which is our

Marden predicts that the buying
and selling of station.s will contin-
ue at Its current pace over the next
is two to four years, although he ex-
pects prices to decline
"The industry restructuring will
continue." he says. "But the cur-
rent multiple level of 20- to 30-
times earnings [for TV stations)
will definitely fall But
interest will continue,

ter the field."
Marden notes that advertising
and marketing spending is down
for TV networks and that the num-
ber of available quality broadca.sl
outlet.s IS small. However, he sees
strength in territorial businesses.
"Even with a fall-uff in local and
specialty spending, spot sales are
up." he says.

probably serve as a ceiling in larger

K mart is Handlcman's largest
account. DePilippo says CD expan
sion IS being seen at all of Handle-
antici- man's accounts, comprising more
than 6,000 individual stores
Significantly, says Hennessey,
the all-out CD move comes in the
wake of K mart's steady upgrading
of its more glamorous and profit-fu-
eling departments In some in
stances, the stores are providing a
new twist

Burnside suggests that other
small dealers would do well to look
for similar niches within their indi-
vidual markets. He adds that since
he cannot "count on having the best
locations or the best cost for acquir
ing product for my inventory or to
have advertising based on having 16
stores in one market." he would
rather address strategies that are
within his grasp.

"What's going on is a reduction in

yer for the Washington-based firm
of Debevoise & Plimpton, which has
been deeply involved in First
Amendment issues, "Most of the de-
velopnienLs in the area are outside
the courts at this point." he says,
giving as examples activities by
"citizens' vigilante groups" and
marketing decisions by such mass
merchant chains as Wal-Mart and
by video specialty retailers
This "self-censorship" can be
even more insidious than actual le-
gal action. Cunard says, because it

Although Handleman has not
tossed in the towel on LPs— and
Filippo sees continuing stable sales
for the conliguration —
the LP is be-

ways been our intention to replace

Little new fixturing is required.
"This is why we fought hard for the

lippoEssentially, CD is moving in
where LPs were once displayed.
The down side of the new open
display IS the potential for theft.
"Yes. there was concern," DeFi-
lippo says of reaction to the CD pro-

concerned with theft. This is why
we have worked so hard with the

He points to video specialists'
lack of response lo Disney's $29.95
program as an example of how
al stores are losing potential pnifits
and endangering their future. "If
retail goes down to $9 9.5. there will
be no videocassette rentals. They're
going to be out of business"

Adult video may prove a contro-
versial issue during the VSDA con-
vention, to be held Sunday-Thurs-
day (24-281 in Las Vegas. "While the
slogan is 'freedom of choice' in all
their seminars, there isn't a hint of
discussion of freedom of choice."
says Reuben Sturman, consultant
to distributor General Video of
Amenca and retailer Visual .Adven-
tures of Cleveland. "In all their
seminars, there isn't going to be one
discu.ssion." he says. "If the adult
video marketplace were to disap-
pear tomorrow morning, the powers
in the VSDA would be thrilled and
bump- delighted," he says.
In contrast. David Meine, head of

VSDA is so "one-issue-oriented
