MGM Singles Bix Up 500%

MGM Records is enjoying an upsurge in single business and Mort Nasatir, President, reports that the four weeks ending June 14 comprised one of the best-selling periods for MGM singles sales in the past few months.

Lenny Scheer, MGM Label Manager, says that the single business has increased over 500% and that the company is moving rapidly from a soft single sales period into a hot -selling summer season. Scheer estimates that after the Las Vegas Sales Convention at Caesar's Palace this week there will be a further boost in single sales for the MGM label division.

Phil Picone, Single Sales Manager for the MGM label, pinpoints the selling splurge, crediting such artists and titles as the Cowsills' "Indian Lake," Eric Burdon's "Sky Pilot," the Magistrates' "Here Comes the Judge," Connie Francis' "Somebody Else is Taking My Place," Wayne Newton's "Dreams of an Everyday Housewife," Roy Or - bison's "Walk On," Herman's Hermits' "Sleepy Joe," Bill Medley's "Brown Eyed Woman," the Lovin' Spoonful's "Never Going Back" and "God Bless Our Love" by the Ballads on the Venture label.
