Phantom to this point was primarily providing on-location recording to musicians. We realized that one of the ways we could be more helpful to the musicians we were working with, was to begin handling the day to day tasks that enabled the artist to pursue their music. This evolved into a role as Artist Manager (although we soon found the role was more accurately described as "investor"). Video had already become a dominant media for promotion and it was expensive for the musicians to buy production. We decided to also invest in video production to see if it might give our artists an edge. We choose SVHS as it provided a higher resolution and was much less expensive than Beta SP.

This was a great year, as Martin had met Chris and she joined the music business on the first date with dinner and then an evening with Peter Butcher at "Rollingwood Recording" an Austin recording studio.

• Chris and Martin worked the creation of a the Commercial Music degree program at Austin Community College. Beginning in 1986 proposals and surveys were continually provided to ACC to convince the college of the need. It took several years and lots of help from others. It became a reality in the Summer of 1988 (regular classes began in 1989. ACC said if ten students showed up for the first class, they would continue the program. Thirty-eight showed and additional classes had to be created. Click for more.

• Phantom began operating out of Austin Center at 700 Brazos

• Management - Deborah Giles Ron Rogers

• Chris and Martin promoted Texas musicians in England. Using US NTSC video playback equipment, they convinced several record companies and publishers to review their artists. The reasoning being that an NTSC video could not be left, so it was watched on the spot. We'd never get the battery power supply through Customs these days.

• Phantom also added a 4X4 Production vehicle

• Phantom's production shifted from audio recording to primarily video production in order to support the promotion of Artist Management.
