Record Bar price protest gets results By J. BONASIA , Staff Writer The Record Bar chain was at least temporarily successful in its protest of a December price increase by Atlantic Records, ac cording to a Record Bar representative. On Dec. 12, 1983, Atlantic announced that it was raising the suggested list price of new releasese by the Rolling Stones, Yes and Genesis from $8.98 to $9.98. The following day all 148 Record Bar outlets removed the albums from prominent display shelves, selling them only on specific requests from customers. .Barrie Bergman, Record Bar chief executive officer and chair man of the board, then released a statement describing the in creases "inflammatory, reckless and in complete disregard of the record-buying public." Within one week Atlantic offered Record Bar distributors a 20 percent discount on the albums, virtually eliminating the in crease. The records were restored to the shelves, but with an ac companying poster that described the price increase to the public as "unfair to the music consumer and a dangerous precedent-setting action for the entire industry." "Our biggest concern with the whole issue was that it did set a precedent," said Bill Joyner, director of operations at the Record Bar's central offices in Durham. "We felt the industry was rebounding tremendously in the past year and that this (in crease) was the wrong move, especially at Christmas time." Under Cover by the Rolling Stones, 90125 by Yes, and Genesis' self-titled LP all currently sell for $7.49 at the Franklin Street Record Bar. But Joyner said that-those prices are effective only as long as the stock of discounted records lasts, which should only be a few months. After that, the price will increase to somewhere around $9.49, he said. Another large national retailing chain, Camelot Music, had stocked the records before the announced increase, said Stuart Phillips, manager of the chain's South Square Plaza store in Durham. Camelot was therefore hot affected as the Record Bar was. The local School Kids Records store on Franklin Street had alo previously stocked the albums, said employee Tim Rogers. "We think (the price increase) was a bad move, but we plan ned on selling the records anyway," Rogers said. "We hope other companies won't follow suit. With this much backlash, we doubt they will." The protest slowed sales in December, and Vince DeLap, manager of the University Mall Record Bar, said he viewed it as a success, even if only a temporary one. "Many customers were upset and (were) behind our move," DeLap said. "It worked." k The protest posters will remain displayed in Record Bar stores as long as the three albums remain top-sellers, said Richard Layne, manager of the Franklin Street store. Considering the fact that all three are hovering in or near the top ten, that could be months. Hairy-armed 'ballerinas' will play Memorial Hall There is something unique about the ballerinas in Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo they are all male. The "Trocks," a group of male dancers who mix ballet classics with comedy, will perform in Chapel Hill Monday at 8 p.m. in Memorial Hall. The company was formed in 1974, performing off-off-Broadway, but quickly rose to international acclaim. The hilarity of the "Trocks" ' perfor mances involves their exaggeration of. . the weaknesses of serious dance and the paradox of delicate moves executed by large, masculine.bodies. The company's , repertoire includes Act II of Swan Lake, Act II of Giselle, Lamentations of Jane Eyre, Go for Barocco and Yes, Virginia, Another Piano Ballet. The dancers in the company also have adopted traditional "ballet" names, such as Ludmilla Beaulemova, Nadia Doumiafeyva and Suzina La Fuz ziovitch. i. The "Trocks" are appealing b6th to fans of the ballet and to novices because their spoof of a highly respected art form is combined with professionalism. The exceptional talents of the dancers allow them to convey the flaws so well. At the same time, the flaws remind the audience of the difficulty of classical dance. Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo is sponsored by the Triangle Dance Guild and the Performing Arts Committee of the Carolina Union. Tickets may be purchased at the Union box office at $8.50 for the general public and $7 for students. The box office is open from noon to 6 p.m. weekdays. Call 962-1449 for more information.
