THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE AIR. CAN YOU HEAR IT?

          GTSP Records, a CA-based label owned/operated by JOHN
     TESH, has released "Victory: The Sports Collection," a 13-
     track, sports-related compilation of Tesh's music, according
     to Tom Hoffarth of the L.A. DAILY NEWS.  Polygram will
     distribute the album Tuesday.  Hoffarth: "It's not as if you
     haven't heard these before.  'Roundball Rock' (a special
     live version on the album) has been the NBC Sports theme for
     its NBA coverage for years.  The inspirational and chilling
     'Ironman' has been used on NBC's Ironman Triathlon.  And who
     could forget the passionate and powerful 'Barcelona,' Tesh's
     ode to the city that hosted the '92 Summer Olympics and made
     him a '10' on NBC's ... coverage" (L.A. DAILY NEWS, 7/28).
          COMINGS AND GOINGS: SHAQUILLE O'NEAL will be featured
     in MTV's "How I Spent My Summer Vacation," where he mixes
     rap music with interviews with NBA players.  Meanwhile,
     DENNIS RODMAN's "World Tour" has been "grounded" by MTV "due
     to lack of interest" (Tom Hoffarth, L.A. DAILY NEWS, 7/28).
