48 Music Week <strong>29.08.14</strong> www.musicweek.com RUN-OFF GROOVE ARCHIVE MUSIC WEEK August August 21, 1976 HEADLINE NEWS The long-predicted alliance of independent labels in a joint sales operation has taken a significant step towards reality. Virgin has signed a new deal giving CBS manufacturing and distribution rights, with Anchor given total sales responsibility. Anchor MD said: “The addition of the Virgin repertoire will give our sales force additional credibility with the dealers.” ALSO Continued cut-price tactics by majors has forced independent retailer Old Tape Revolution to knock 90p off the price of all Top 50 albums in two of its branches in a “last stand”. MD Gary Nesbitt said: “We are in an all-out war with them - our Croydon store has suffered badly at the hands of W. H. Smith and this is the only action left open to us.” NEW RELEASES RECOMMENDED 21.08.76 AD WATCH ROCK ME GENTLY James Last The album is subtitled, A Tribute To The Great Canadian Songwriters, but the likes of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Paul Anka are nowhere to be seen. Andy Kim’s Rock Me Gently aptly appears, as does Gordon Lightfoot’s Sundown and If You Could Leave My Mind, plus Robbie Robertson’s The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. Lesser-known artists that fit in with Last’s formula of a chorus, tight arrangements and danceable tempos will enjoy new attention, as the public is certain to snap this up in chart-placing quantities.

I wrote a catchy jingle called Silly Little Daydream when I was 13. To this day friends back home sing it at me! And the last song you wrote? I wrote one for producer Martin Kierszenbaum. What is the song you’re proudest of and why? I co-wrote a song for my next EP called Underwater with Daniel Lindegren, AKA Tommy Sparks. I think it’s got heaps of potential. Spare a thought for the terrified shop assistant in this advert, whose wide eyes suggest he wasn’t warned a boxer would be coming into his shop to threaten him. “If you don’t stock this disc, you are running a risk!” the warning helpfully rhymes. Pye Records promise that they aren’t really going to send Muhammad Ali round to ‘help’ you decide to stock Johnny Wakelin’s new album – but can you really trust them to keep to that? We’re not so sure, especially when the advert copy half asks, half warns: “You don’t want to be knocked out in the first round, do you?” CONTACTS EDITORIAL AND SALES 020 7226 7246 EDITOR Tim Ingham Tim.Ingham@intentmedia.co.uk DEPUTY EDITOR Tom Pakinkis Tom.Pakinkis@intentmedia.co.uk NEWS EDITOR Rhian Jones Rhian.Jones@intentmedia.co.uk STAFF WRITER Coral Williamson Coral.Williamson@intentmedia.co.uk STAFF WRITER Murray Stassen Murray.Stassen@intentmedia.co.uk CHARTS & DATA Isabelle Nesmon Isabelle.Nesmon@intentmedia.co.uk Incorporating fono, MBI, Future Hits, Green Sheet, Hit Music, Promo, Record Mirror and Tours Report DESIGNER Nikki Hargreaves Nikki.Hargreaves@intentmedia.co.uk COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR Darrell Carter Darrell.Carter@intentmedia.co.uk SALES MANAGER Rob Baker Rob.Baker@intentmedia.co.uk ACCOUNT MANAGER Victoria Dowling Victoria.Dowling@intentmedia.co.uk SENIOR ACCOUNT MANAGER Matthew Tyrrell Matthew.Tyrrell@intentmedia.co.uk CHART CONSULTANT Alan Jones MUSIC WEEK PRESENTS Karma Bertelsen Karma.Bertelsen@intentmedia.co.uk UK £249; Europe £299; Rest of World Airmail £390; <strong>Digital</strong> all £179.

Where do you write and what do you write on/with? I travel a lot - recently I’ve been to Norway, Sweden and New York for writing sessions. At home, I have a set-up in my room: Mac, midi keyboard, interface and a good mic. Who is your favourite songwriter of all time? Natasha Bedingfield. She is an incredible lyricist and always uses feel-good pop melodies. And your favourite songwriter of the moment? I’d have to say Ryan Tedder. He co-wrote Ella Henderson’s Ghost, which I’m obsessed with.
