Personnel Changes at MGM
NEW YORK-Following the
announcement that Arnold
Maxin had taken over as Acting
Head of MGM Records, several
personnel changes have
taken place in executive capacities.
Exiting the label as of last
week is Jack Maher, Creative
Services Director, along with
Morris Price, Director of Rack
Sales, and Joe Berger, Verve
Album Sales Director.
Maher guided the label's advertising,
packaging and merchandising
growth through
three of the diskery's most successful
years. He left because
of differences regarding
advertising policy and budget.
A 12 -year music industry
veteran, Maher joined MGM in
1965 as Advertising Manager.
He helped make many innovations,
among them multi -media
audio visual presentations, prerecorded
radio spots and "The
Music Factory," a wholly
owned company show now on
125 college stations. He also
helped to develop total campaigns
which brought forth
such artists as the Cowsills,
Every Mother's Son and the
Boston groups. Maher also produced
a series of Verve repackaged
LPs for the company's
VSP label.
Price had been transferred
on May 1 from Chicago to MGM
on the Coast to direct rack
sales. Berger reportedly is being
replaced by Art Denish.
