More than fifty artists, managers, attorneys and record company executives attend a public hearing at the offices of State Attorney General Louis K. Lefkowitz in New York City, USA. The hearing is intended to begin investigations into 'misrepresentation in the music industry". Peter Nero,
Xavier Cugat and
Maxine Brown are among those making statements, about the ways in which companies, for example, re-package old unsuccessful albums after an artist achieves success, to make it appear that these are new recordings.
