Money-Maker
Presley 'Hot RCA
Property
by Red
Robinson
Vancouver Sun Oct.
4, 1957
More
records have been released
on all labels this year
than in any other given
year in music history.
This makes it
more difficult for songs
to reach the top 30.
There are so many new
songs coming out each day
that I've had to enlarge
my top 30 to become a top
50.
I'm getting
an average of 100 new
releases a week from all
record companies including
new companies. Some
of the old name record
companies that folded up
four or five years ago,
like National Records, are
opening up again and
making a bid for the
buyer's dollars.
Just today
RCA Victor announced that
Elvis Presley is the
biggest money-maker they
have had since Gene
Austin. Presley has
sold over 20,000,000
records to date for RCA
Victor in just a little
over a year an a
half. If he keeps
this up he'll be one of
the biggest all-time
sellers in music history.
Is it any
wonder RCA Victor signed
him up with the biggest
contract in music history?
-Editor's
Note: The Top 30 (to 50)
survey mentioned here by Red,
refers to his Teen Canteen chart,
not the CKWX "Station" chart.

RED'S RECORD RACK
The Girls
Go for
Frankie (Avalon)
by Red
Robinson
Vancouver Sun Oct.
4, 1957
|
One
of the latest rock and roll
movies is called "Jamboree."
One of the
stars of the show is Frankie
Avalon--a boy who records
for a small label recently
formed in the States called
Chancellor records.
The feature
side of his new record is
called Teacher's Pet and
it's from "Jamboree."
In this show 18 American
disc jockeys are featured
along with many top names in
the recording field
today. Frankie is 17
and a favorite of a lot of
female teensters.
Another rock
and roll show coming your
way is called "Mr. Rock and
Roll." This movie
stars Laverne Baker, Fats
Domino, Clyde McPhatter,
Little Richard and many more
top rock and roll stars.
Some of the
songs from the show are
already listed on the top
selling charts across the
nation.
Among these are
"Rock and Cry" with Clyde
McPhatter, "Keep a Knocking"
with Little Richard and
"Humpty Dumpty Heart" with
Laverne Baker.
As we predicted
in this column two weeks
ago, rock is not on its way
out.
