| Show " ' " - - ' Doolie Brothers return with generic sound THE DOOBIE BROTHERS "Brotherhood" (Capitol) — Currently riding high on the charts this CD is a reunion of the original members Tern Johnston Pat Simmons Titan Porter John Hartman and Michael Hossack — of the -- Record review - well-love- er "Something You Said" love gone Overall the 10 songs are generic and don't break any new ground 'Is Love Enough" hints at the the original spark of the band Despite its trite lyric treatment "Divided Highway" comes off well with the hard-roc- k instrumentation while "Under the Spell" gets off to a good start in the intro but unfortunately d Bax1970s pop-roc- k band (pre-Jef- f ter and Michael McDonald) The emphasis is still on those captivating vocal harmonies framed here in a contemporary rock setting with hard guitar lines a punchy rhythm section and chunky synthesizer blocks to back the hook-ladecollection - Except for a paean to motorcycle riding called "Dangerous" (a hardrockin' entry that seemingly tries for Van Haien territory but misses the turn) the compositional theme never strays from love or as with the open stumbles It's not until the last three cuts that the vintage Doobies feel finally erupts "This Train I'm On" rolls right into the '90s with all that classic feel — tripping into Alabama's vocal n - style before regaining footing "Showdown" rocks hard with a hot guitar while still holding the Doobie harmony but it is "Rollin' On" that with the rich truly hits the bull's-ey- e harmony that harks back to the "China Grove" — John Paul Brophy

Blind Willie Mc Tell sessions where a Columbia compilation will include only two Mc Tell cuts We fill the gaps" says Randall Grass of Shanachie "We don't require very high sales so if it's music we think should be out there we'll put it out That's our service" Larry Co Im who produces the Columbia Roots 'n' Blues series that has included Robert Johnson and Bessie Smith notes that many small labels are "bootleg" operations since they don't buy the rights to many of the obscure records they release By rarely taking any kind of legal action however the majors have tacitly conceded there is a place for these small operations Executives at some major companies will even say privately that small labels kept blues country and folk markets alive By David Hinckley New York Daily News You know something's happening when the publicity department at Columbia Records is getting phone calls asking for an interview with Itobert Johnson Now Robert Johnson happens to be one of Columbia's hottest artists set has sold close to His double-C400000 copies won a Grammy and been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America He's also been dead since 1938 4 Still Johnson is only the most striking success story in what has be come the headiest corner of the pop ular music biz these days: reissues From 1920s stars Bessie Smith and Jimmie Rodgers through Nat King Cole Elvis and the Beach Boys up to the Flaming Groovies James Brown and Lou Reed record companies large and small have found it lucra15ve to resell the music of the past The appeal of reissues to record companies starts with the obvious: Vompared with new releases they 'cost almost nothing to put out The xnusic is there already and while the conversion to digital sound can take time most costs remain modest So a giant like MCA can reissue virtually the entire Chess catalog or rolumbiaSony can issue all or most 'of the recordings by Johnson Bessie Smith or Louis Armstrong RCA re- packages Elvis Presley a dozen more ways baited with newly discovered caches of alternate takes Capitol finally even released the Beach Boys' D y while over the past the majors were ignoring them The reason they pay more attention now is not surprising: They've discovered there's money there Some major labels reportedly make up to a quarfer of their profits now on "catalog" items The current tidal wave of reissues began several years ago with surprisingly successful packages like the 1984 "Elvis: A Golden Celebration" and the 1985 Bob Dylan "Biograph" boxed sets These proved that quality music with attractive intelligent packaging could sell hundreds of thousands of copies But what really sent the market into overdrive was the compact disc With its greater convenience and (some say) better sound the CD was an excuse for companies to resell quarter-centur- "Pet Sounds" long-awaite- d Where sales get too small for the majors small labels move in Both MCA and Capitol have issued Nat King Cole packages but it falls to Mosaic Records a small Stamford label to reissue the entire output of the King Cole Trio That will fill 27 albums or 18 CDs It's due in Sepjjember Shanachie Records issues old reggae and worldbeat music some of which was previously available only d on imports Shanachie also took over the Yazoo label which consumers all that music they loved on LP Since that music had been selling at low levels and many of those consumers hadn't been buying at all this was a found bonus market a near-totIts financial power became clear rerelease with Capitol's much-hypeof the Beatles' album catalog These sold so well that virtually all rock 'n' roll classics were soon issued on CD middle-age- d d hard-to-fin- in tandem with a growing number of repackaged boxed sets and best-o- f collections Eric Clapton's "Crossroads" box sold enormously well as did boxes like the ambitious "Rolling Stones Singles Collection" 'The advent of the CD was a major factor" says Cohn "Every company started looking for a catalog to exploit With something like Robert Johnson I think we found three markets: Older collectors will generally buy anything by a favorite artist people from the '60s who grew up listening to blues guitarists like Clap-to- n and younger collectors looking for new musical ideas "I've had friends of my kids play Led Zeppelin then I play them a Memphis Minnie original They're amazed They assumed Led Zeppelin wrote all this stuff We've had a lot of heavy-metfans buy the Robert Johnson box" Grass says reissues often do open new markets "Ethnic music like Irish or reggae often doesn't sell just to that ethnic group Other people are discovering it" In general he says the reissue market is good Sales of Yazoo records which collects acoustic blues from the '20s and '30s "have surpassed expectations" he says — a conclusion echoed by Cohn for COlumbia releases When they're good there's a good reissue program If not there isn't treatment of RCA's helter-skelte- r the Presley catalog for many years was a good example of the latter Knowledgeable people involved today at the majors include Cohn Mc Kale Rick Rowe (who has done much of RCA's jazz remastering) Don Wardell of RCA Gregg Geller (who has worked at Epic RCA and Columbia) atid Michael Brooks (Columbia jazz series) Smaller labels like Mosaic Rhino Rounder County Relic Stash or Rosetta tend to be in the first run by place In any case it's enough of a base so reissues will continue to be big business even if some of the majors decide to give them a rest And Robert Johnson can't do interviews al a
