HEADLINE NEWS Campbell Connelly, the last remaining major independent UK music publishing company, has been acquired by print music and music book specialist Music Sales. The price paid for CC and its 15 subsidiary companies is understood to be in the region of £4.1m. Plans for the company include a programme of printed music and advertising, broadcasting and TV and recording opportunities.
ALSO Non-music industry support for the music industry is likely to play an increasingly important role in financing artists’ careers, particularly in the areas of tour sponsorship, product endorsement and the use of likenesses on packaging. West Nally Music has been set up by advertising man Desmond Manwaring and John Gaydon who see music as “the next big thing in marketing”.
NEW RELEASES RECOMMENDED 21.01.84
BUSY BODY Luther Vandross JUMP Van Halen Busy Body by Luther Vandross is “the usual super smooth, soulful style” from the “justly revered vocalist”. The material, however, “is almost relentless in its blandness” says Music Week. Van Halen’s Jump is “US chart orientated synthesiser pomp rock”. Featuring a “so polite” David Lee Roth, fans of the group’s heavy rock self-titled debut album in 1978 “might wonder where the magic has gone” with this latest “commercial” single.
AD WATCH
Lamborghini Records is testing a novel marketing campaign to ensure “the hi-tech album of the 80’s”, Novels For The Moons by Axxess, secures a top spot in all record dealers and retailers. Those that stock the album could be the winner of a fabulous all expenses weekend in Italy for two.

What was the first song you ever wrote? Showgirl when I was about 23. The song popped into my head almost finished, on a train ride.
And the last song you wrote? Lou Reed, Lou Reed from my forthcoming album.
What is the song you’re proudest of and why? Rock N Roll Animals was good, as was the Psychedelic Wrestling album.
An Innocent Man
Which song do you wish you’d written and why? Maybe I could have answered that a long time ago, but now I can’t imagine writing anything other than the songs I write.
Where do you write and what do you write on/with? I can write anywhere, songs are pretty much written in the sub-conscience.
Who is your favourite songwriter of all time? Leonard Cohen (pictured) is fantastic. Marc Bolan I think is underrated as a songwriter given that he pretty much invented his own language.
