The Tape Manufacturers Group has had to backtrack on the claims it has made to
support its home-taping argument, admitting that many of them were conjecture on its part. The BPI believes that the move has come after NOP, the company commissioned to do TMG’s market research, protested over how its findings had been interpreted… The Peacock Committee, charged with investigating ways of financing the BBC in the future, has assessed that Radio 1 and 2 should be sold to the private sector but BBC TV should be kept free of advertising until the long-term effects of cable and satellite operations have been observed…. Record retailer Smithers & Leigh is launching a telephone order scheme even though many dealers have said such services keep punters out of stores… Finally, growth in records and cassettes over the past three years is down to “a new stable of superstars”, according to a music industry report released by the ICC Information Group.

CHRIS DE BURGH Into The Light THE CHURCH Heyday Chris de Burgh’s Into The Light gets the ‘Stock It’ stamp this week. Music Week calls it “a partial return, musically, to his earlier glory days” saying that the album, while retaining a vaguely modern feel, continues de Burgh’s run of fine LPs. Heyday from The Church is the other LP in the ‘general’ category to get a big red tick, with the mag saying the band deserve a push to back this one.
