KATE BUSH - REALITY OF COMMERCIALITY The latest album from British songstress Kate Bush, Hounds Of Love, has
gone platinum after only 9 weeks on the charts. It has been 3 years since the release of The Dreaming and this album has gained her the most commercial success to date. Breaking into the North American market hasn't been easy,
but it would appear she now has been established, particularly in Canada. RPM spoke with Bush this past week when she was visiting Toronto as part
of her promotion tour. When asked about the commercial success of
Hounds Of Love, Bush replies "When I'm writing I don't consider my music to be part
of the market. Since, you you sit down to write in a completely different world from the
business, your talking about 2 things I feel should remain seperate."
She continues with, "It's funny how a lot of people ask questions like: Haven't you
ever felt you wanted to conquer America before? I think that suggests an attitude that
exists in people, where they almost expect ar- tists to write for certain countries and to then
go out and conquer the world. Maybe there
are people like that but for me it's just not like that at all - and if there are people like
that, then I don't see them directly con- tributing to music.
"However, I have to have a certain amount of success with each album, in order
to be able to do the next one, but I don't think it really concerns me if it's not a big hit.
What's important for me is to really do something that I feel has a lot of care and at-
tention, and that is the best you can do, before it goes out in it's determined form."
Since the release of her previous album, The Dreaming, Bush completed building her own studio. "When you've got your own
studio together, and everything you want in it
- you've got that feeling of experimentation. When you're working in a commercial studio, if your working experimentally, it ac- tually becomes prohibitive and you just can't afford to spend the time experimenting
because it's just costing too much money."

She explains how this affected the dif- fences in her musical style "I wanted to ex- plore more of the blend of the production with songwriting and creating moods in
songs. The concept side was more concrete -
in that it had to be very watery and there was quite a strong story to latch onto. The last
album dealt with a greater intensity of moods and emotions
- quite heavy subjects. But with
this album I felt much more positive about things and wanted to create an album that
hopefully would have a more uplifting effect."
The album, Hounds Of Love, features a wide variety of instruments ranging from
Bouzoukis and Uillean Pipes to the Kate Bush continued on page 7

Post Christmas backlash"The CD problem is a simple one," suggestsDon Oates, Vice President Sales andMarketing for CBS. "I can't get my hands onany."
With demand far exceeding the supply ofCD's in today's marketplace Oates explainsthat "We at CBS have never had an inventoryso we've never really been able to get a truepicture of the actual demand."
The biggest CD seller for CBS is BruceSpringsteen's Born In The USA."However," says Oates, "We haven't hadany Springsteen in for 3 months now, and ac-tually all of our Top 50 are on backorder." Arecent shipment of 30,000 units received ap-parently "won't even put a dent in it."
Oates continues with "Right now, themain source of complaint has come from ourown customers - it's just a filling of thepipeline, but the biggest problem is yet tocome."
With the holiday buying season now infull swing, and CD players selling in recordnumbers, Oates suggests that "TowardsFebruary and March - that's when there willbe a backlash from the consumers. Theywon't be able to find CD's for those new
Jones completes tourand lays plans for new LPElektra recording artist Howard Jones playedto a very respectable, however noisy 10,000fans at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens (Nov.13), one of the wind down dates for his year-long world tour. No stranger to Canada, hav-ing lived in Ottawa for a short period of time,Jones was given a warm label welcome by theWEA people, headed up by Garry Newman,Vice President Sales, WEA Music Canada.Newman and WEA Label Manager DaveTollington surprised Jones by presenting himwith platinum for his Dream Into Action LP.
This is Jones' second album for Elektra,the first being Humans Lib. There have been3 singles taken from ,the Dream LP: Life InOne Day, Things Can Only Get Better and,the most recent, Like To Get To Know YouWell.
Jones returns home to England andbegins work on his next album, expected tobe released early next year, after which he willkick off another year -long tour.
Howard Jones is presented with platinumaward for his Elektra LP, Dream Into Action.Making presentation are WEA's GarryNewman and Dave Tollington.
expected from CD buyersplayers they just bought or received as aChristmas present."
Responding to the question as towhether the opening of the new Canadianplant will alleviate the problem, Oates says,"Well, we have our orders in, but it'sdefinitely going to get worse before it getsbetter."
CAB's Gold Ribbonpresented to Q107The Canadian Association of Broadcasters(CAB) has presented Toronto's QI07 withthe Gold Ribbon Award for their "Develop-ment of Canadian Talent."
The CAB were apparently impressedwith Q's annual Homegrown contest whichfeatures local bands, the winners of which ap-pear on the station's Homegrown LP. Theaward refers to Q107 doing "the most todevelop and encourage local talent during thepast year."
With regard to the Homegrown contest,Q107's General Manager Gary Slaight notes"Some record companies have been recep-tive, some haven't. Honeymoon Suite wassigned to WEA after one of our showcases,"to which he adds "But the record companiesshouldn't care who finds the talent."
Interestingly enough, Bob Roper, WEAA&R Manager, says: "I didn't find thisyear's material, or the bands, strong enough.Also, recording contracts (for singles) wereoffered as prizes, and I'm not about to enterany bidding war with anyone."
Last year's winner, Eye Eye, were signedto the Duke Street label this past month. Thelabel's Peter Vitols says, "We should have analbum out early in the new year. We're hop-ing to get them into the studio very soon -we're just sorting out the producer."
Hart's Boy In The Boxleads Cancon metalCorey Hart was the lone Cancon act to certifymulti -platinum for the month of October.Certification for Hart's Boy In The Box wasannounced by the CRIA for the month of Oc-tober although the album qualified as quintu-ple platinum in September.

The big winner for October was TinaTurner with her Private Dancer album certi-fying a very impressive 7 -times platinum(700,000 units sold).

We'll miss you Bud . . . !!Isn't it funny that age doesn't seem to berelative in the music business. Who wouldhave thought that Bud Farquarson had reach-ed the Big Five -O? The big shock, of course,is that Bud has decided to retire. He couldn'tbe leaving at a worse time. I've still got quitea few digs I wanted to use against him at thenext roast. Bud happens to be my favourite,and quite receptive, subject. Ask me aboutBud's T-shirt sometime. Anyway. . . it's theend of an era . . . but hopefully we'll have thechance to nail him before he gets used toretirement. An official announcement will bemade about Bud's retirement next week.
A conflict of meetings . . . ??While CRIA was having a closed -doormeeting on stickering "obscene" product,down the street, CIRPA was running a day ofseminars, to which I was invited "but notbefore 4:45." I have to admit, they were pro-mpt, and got their Video Seminar underwayat 4:49. An interesting feature of the CIRPAmeeting, had to do with what was going on atCRIA and they brought in Danny Goldbergto fill the "indies" in on his doing battle withthe wives of senators and fundamentalists.Danny likes to refer to his side as "The MusicMajority. He's a very charming corn-
. the prophets of doom, the messengers ofmediocrity, will be overwhelmed by the newgeneration of competent, creative, confidenta-risans and by all those of preceding generationswho have already demonstrated their freshness ofMind. their talent and their capacity for inspiredleddership." - Pierre Juneau

Now something a little different!!That somebody, who mentioned recently theywanted to do something a little different,should look at doing something really well.That would be different. There really isn'tanything different when so many things aredone badly it looks good to do them well.When everyone tries to be different . . . theyare all being the same!!! (EC: You explainedthat very well!!)
A time for giving . . . !!While many of the major charities look aftermost of the needs of those less fortunate overthe Holiday Season, there are still those whoare passed by. Fortunately, Toronto has AChristopher Randall, a very kind and lovingindividual who really cares. Through his owncompany, Helping Others Incorporated(HOI), he will be making this Christmasseason a little easier for some of the "young"street people. A gift of a cassette could bringa lot of joy into the tough world of some ofthese kids. If you would like to donate a fewcassettes or album product to HOI, sendthem to Christopher at 20 Prince ArthurAvenue, Suite 9B, Toronto. M5R 1B1, or callhim at 416-960-9491.
Do your MIDEM shopping early!!It has been a very good year for air travel - ifyou shop early - that is. This year it will costyou under $700 to fly to Nice (Cannes) forMIDEM at the end of January - and you canlayover in London either way. For those ofyou in the music business, who want to leaveit until the end, it will cost $2224, which is theregular economy fare. Most will opt for thelatter. They just can't make a decision.
Showing a profit . . . !!!It was quite an impressive gathering where so-meone was overheard talking about a Canconcountry artist, and dropped the comment:"He spends more on advertising in RPMthan one of the major companies I canname," to which someone answered "and Iknow for a fact he makes more money." Ijust couldn't resist that one. That'sshowbiz!!!
Juno ratings amaze everyone .. . !!!We're told that the Juno ratings were so goodthis year that CARAS is taking bows - theCBC is taking bows - and everyone is gettingbachaches. Is this the same CBC, who oncesaid (of the Junos) "If we wanted an awardshow, we'd start our own and call it the CBCAwards"? On the other hand, in January of1970 we were told that no one in the industrywas interested in an award event for Canconartists. They claimed "It would neverwork!!!" (EC:Park your ego in your limo!!!)
If you don't know - don't guess!!In RPM's Album section last week, there wasa question asked regarding Aldo Nova's LP.The question was "No Cancon?" Well, didwe get calls. Unfortunately, this being a U.S.release, and Americans don't understandwhat the MAPL logo is all about - it wasn'tused. So . . . for those programmers, who
thought Aldo Nova was no longer Canadian .. . be assured . . . he is and the album, for themost part is 3 -parts Cancon!!!
Oneupmanship revisited!!!!Now that we have set aside all the industrynepotism, we are asked to "Sing -a -long -withJoe". It's such a well kept secret - we'll nevertell. Seeing is believing. I sang along with thepamphlet, but it didn't work. Anyone canprint up pamphlets. Are you pulling my leg??(EC: Read -along with Joe?)
The time may come . . . !!A certain manager and a few of his artistsmay choose not to attend the Junos in thefuture. I wonder who will be so vocal and ig-norant as to mention that he or they areobligated to show up at the Junos? (EC: justasking!!)
Yamaha has a CD auto system!!Larry Smith, National Supervisor, AudioDivision of Yamaha Canada, sends news . . .and pretty pictures . . . of Yamaha's new carCD audio system. He says a CD system forthe car "must satisfy 3 requirements: theplayer must be compact in size, it must beable to withstand the heat and vibration thatcar audio components are subject to, andsome provisions must be made for safe, con-venient handling of the discs themselves."Well, Yamaha has "met the challenges" saysLarry and their YCD-1000 will be on themarket in November and it carries a sug-gested list of $750.00

Kate Bush continued from page 1
Helicopter on Pink Floyd's The Wall. Whenasked whether this material would be moredifficult to reproduce on stage, Bush'responded with "There are definitelyelements to this album that will make it verydifficult but in some ways I think that if thesongs aren't structured around a normalband format, it does make it that much moredifficult anyway."
Bush, who produced the album, says"The biggest critic I have is myself. There aresituations where I'm the only one who reallyisn't happy with it, and it is at that momentwhere I can work harder to see if I can get itbetter. I do enjoy my freedom and being ableto express what I want."
The album is divided into 2 parts:Hounds Of Love and the conceptual TheNinth Wave. With respect to this concept sideand Bush's apprehensions about it, she says,"I didn't know if it was going to work,without having written all the songs to it but Ithought it was an interesting idea to do a con-cept side. It was very challenging and a lot offun because you're working within the at-mosphere of one thing and you get a greatersense of the mood."
Bush has also put a lot of effort into themaking of her videos, this being her visual in-terpretation of the songs. "The last video wedid (Cloudbusting) is very interesting. It's ex-ploring an area that I've wanted to for a longtime and that's where the real power lays withvideos: visuals combined with music, telling astory.
"If the story is great and the music reallylends itself to visualization then that is wherevideo works as an artform very well. Singleshowever, are not always tracks that easilyconvert to visuals so sometimes you are com-promising - putting nice images together withmusic. Although that can work as well, it'snot really taking the artform to its fullest."
In discussing influences evoking style,Bush explains, "The biggest influence on mewas the traditional English and Irish folkmusic. It was always around me when I was achild, but particularly Irish music - it has themost incredible emotion - yes, it's so emotive.It can be happy and yet it can be so terriblysad."In concluding, Bush reveals. "I still find itsurprising and wonderful to fmd my name inlights or on the charts."

Now my name's Cam, and I'd like to rap. There's been some rumours, but they're all
crap. We've got great labels, and there's no tricks. We're
pushing hard into '86. I'm goin' to
start off with a man called Lionel. The
single's out, the album close to final.
We hope to release come m i d -
December. Can't Slow Down sold a
million and a half. Cam Carpenter And if you don't have product the consumers laugh. They walk on down to the very next store, and buy their Lionel and even more. Like the 12-yr.
old genius, who's now thirty-five. The new single's Go Home and the album's alive.
And another great record we're puttin' in motion is the brand new single from the
great Billy Ocean. It's the soundtrack to The Jewel Of The Nile. And it's the best new
record we've heard in a while. It's called When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough
Get Going. The record's being added, and the sales are flowing.
You should Have A Good Look at this new band we've got. They're called Perfect
World and certainly are hot. A video of their's just won a major prize. An award of
25 grand and these aren't lies. Also Cancon - so no need to worry.
Is the '86 release of Johnny Dee Fury. We've got this new album that's too wild to tame. So don't forget to remember that name.

And another band that's doing quite well is FM, and they have a story to tell - 'bout
their next single, All Of The Dreams, which will take Con -Test to gold or so it seems.
And we have a rapper, who's doing very nice. He's Melle Mel and the record's called Vice.
And another record we're ready to chalk. Is a dance tune by Alisha we call Baby Talk.
You shouldn't forget our catalogue is large. With solid gold by bands like DeBarge.
And for those of you who like to rock. Come back in January for a taste of the Flock.
We've got Mary Janes and The Temps too. So call your promo rep to see what they can do.
And to those of you who think this is faulty. Remember, we're pushin' hard and we're pushin' Quality.
True North readies Cockburn's follow-up

of 500,000 units worldwide. Jon Goldsmith and Kerry Crawford,
who co -produced Stealing Fire, are also pro- ducing this set which features a new band: Fergus Marsh (bass), Chi Sharpe (percussion) Hugh Marsh (violin), Michael Slosky
(drums), Michael White (trumpet), and Judy Cade on background vocals.
Cockburn begins rehearsals for his world tour, which will be launched with Canadian dates in February. He will be accompanied by
