ODDS ‘N’ BODS
Thomas Dolby is mooted as possible producer of Michael Jackson’s next LP! … Fatback ‘I Found Lovin’’ is suddenly due on remix/dub/original 12in from new label Master Mix (via PRT) … Yvonne Gage’s ‘Haunted House’ has evidently met opposition from the ‘Thriller’ publishers … Grandmaster Melle Mel ‘White Lines’ is now on picture disc 12in to accelerate its chart climb! … Anne LeSear is due on 12in, Emotions ‘You’re The Best’ is on US 12in remix, but Change will not be a remix … Streetwave’s Julian Woolley wants all the pirate jocks to contact him on 01-993 1512 … Jez Nelson’s Horizon show early Sunday morning was his radio debut — “I was on a Dave Brown phone-in once, but then who wasn’t?”! … Froggy is another Horizon recruit, Tuesday evenings, which is when he also returns with the Rappers night to Epping Forest Country Club near Chigwell … London’s soul pirates would pay royalties for the music they play but until they’re legalised they can’t get a licence to do so … Carlos and Gary Kent, TV stars! … Gallup’s UK singles chart last week again held steady with a third being black, if not necessarily soul, while Top Of The Pops was a sea of black faces … Edwin Starr will be compere of a ‘Soul Train’-type show on Channel 4 … ‘StreetSounds Electro 4‘ is being mixed by new team Noel & Morris, ‘UK Electro‘ by Herbie Mastermind, and whichever charts highest will determine who mixes ‘Crucial Electro 2’ (stir, stir)! … Alan Coulthard’s May mixes on Disco Mix Club cassette are an extended return to Sharon Redd ‘Beat The Megastreet‘, an exciting pop set, and Alan s exploration of the “hot tempo” which brilliantly runs Yes ‘Leave It’ under Y&P (the only guy to pick up my tip?) … Creole Records are updating their DJ mailing list at 91-93 High Street, Harlesden, London NW10 … Record Shack sold a controlling share to IDS … Greg James’s Hammersmith Spin-Off’s record shop at 98 Fulham Palace Road is open Sundays noon-6pm, as now (11am-3pm) is Rayners Lane’s Record & Disco Centre … O’Jays ‘Extraordinary Girl’ should have been 0-115bpm last week, when a miscalculation by our Mike Gardner meant most disco dates didn’t get printed — his brother Brian Gardner’s amongst them! (Brian, ousted after three years at the Whisky A Go Go when it became the Wag Club, now funks Wed/Sat at Soho’s Le Beat Route) … Pete Haigh & Richard Searling’s monthly ‘Mecca Soul Revival night’ is again at Blackpool Baskervilles this Friday (25), yet Pete says he’s glad he wasn’t at Caister as it sounded like a Wigan oldies session! … ‘Breakin’’, a budget hip hop movie set in LA rather than the Bronx, beat ‘Beat Street’ into US cinemas to boffo box office … K-Tel in the States have a teach-yourself ‘Breakdance’ video and LP, a sure sign that anyone hip will soon have to stop! … Yarbrough & Peoples is now top US Black single, The Earons rapidly replacing Deniece Williams atop US Dance/Disco (where Womack & Womack ‘Baby I’m Scared‘ is huge) … Arthur Baker collaborates with Daryl Hall on a future Dana Ross track ‘Swept Away‘, and Maurice Starr is producing the Stylistics for the Streetwise label … The Kane Gang (a thinking man’s ‘Relax’) I now see is produced by Pete Wingfield … Shakatak take another less commercial jazz direction on their next LP, teasingly promo-ed for radio … “Any football hooligans?” I quipped on entering Mayfair’s late nite Rockafella’s eaterie last Friday night – “Yes, Kevin Keegan” was the true reply … LET’S BE PARTICULARLY CAREFUL OUT THERE!

HOT VINYL
SISTER SLEDGE: ‘Thinking Of You’ (Atlantic B 9744T)
Originally flip of 1979’s ‘Lost In Music’, this guitar-jittered pleasantly sung rolling 102⅓bpm jogger strangely has become something of a spearhead for the banner waving “back to soul” brigade and finally resurfaces on 3-track 12in with the previously better known 117-118-119bpm ‘We Are Family’ and 115-116-115¾(break)-116bpm ‘He’s the Greatest Dancer’ which doubtless have helped its rapid initial sale.
TYZIK: ‘Jammin’ In Manhattan’ LP (US Polydor 422-821 605-1 Y-1)
First cousin to ‘Funkin’ For Jamaica’ and scorching the floor in London already, trumpeter Jeff Tyzik’s sizzling hot 114½bpm funk instrumental title track is evidently due on better value 12in, if you can wait (the rest is jazz/slow).
MARGIE JOSEPH: ‘Ready For The Night’ LP (US Cotillion 90158-1)
Drummed by executive producer Narada Michael Walden, Margie’s label debut is loaded with dancers like the Teena Marie-ish 116bpm title track (also on 12in), brightly strutting 115bpm ‘Midnight Lover‘ (possibly best), Aretha-ish 115½bpm ‘I Wants Mo’ Stuff‘, raunchily worded 114bpm ‘Big Strong Man‘, lurching (0-)107bpm ‘Tell Me‘, swaying 112bpm ‘Adonai’, plus two slowies … in fact, there may be too many to take in.
FREDERICK ‘M.C. COUNT’ LINTON: ‘I’m Somebody Else’s Guy’ (US Vinyl Dreams VND D02)
Jocelyn Brown’s own original 103bpm backing track makes a mixer’s dream behind this gruff rapper’s answer version, far more useful than her M&M remix (new chunky dub flip).
SUN: ‘Legs (Bring The Wolf Out Of Me)’ LP ‘Eclipse’ US AIR City Records A-401-SN-LP)
With an instant turn-on sleeve pic of a meaty pair of pins, this great chunkily rolling 106½bpm repetitive simple funker owes much to George Clinton (‘Atomic Dog’ synchs superbly, as do One Way ‘Mr Groove’ and surprisingly Patrice Rushen), their similar previously 12-inched now 109bpm ‘Dance, Let’s Shake It Tonight‘ being the other main standout. Worth it for the cover alone!
MICHAEL JACKSON: ‘Farewell My Summer Love’ (Motown TMGT 1342)
14 years old Michael’s lovelorn squeaking with newly augmented backing on a not particularly danceable 0-59-118bpm hustler hidden in the vaults since 1973, as was its parent LP of similar vintage which contains a multi-shot poster that really shows how his once spatulate nose has fined down in recent years!
INGRAM: ‘When You’re Hot You’re Hot’ (Other End OET 1, via PRT)
Beefily remixed, this burbling fast 125bpm dated “jazz-funk’ groove with soul group vocal and police siren effects could now do well here wherever dancers like to sweat (dub/edit flip). The label is a new splinter rival to West End.
THE BUGGERS: The Bugger Groove’ (US Manhole A 92)
Not Hi-NRG but “Latin-Electro” by some Bronx Hispanic boys ‘n girls, who must know the word’s British meaning to judge from the label name, a ‘Twilight Zone’ introed 0-117bpm jerky skitterer with hilariously scabrous lyrics hissed and muttered through chants like “buggers of the world unite” (inst/edit/SFX too), a real collectors’ item. (This is genuine, not another Kanu Sukalagwun!)
DAN HARTMAN: ‘I Can Dream About You’ (US MCA MCA-23502)
Jellybean-remixed placidly pumping Hall & Oates-type 112½bpm roller with rock guitar and jazz sax breaks, from the film ‘Streets Of Fire’, causing a stir Stateside (inst-edit flip).
PEOPLES CHOICE: ‘Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love’ (LP ‘Strikin’’ US Mercury 818925-1 M-1)
The guys return with a useful enough purposeful (0-)98bpm soul jogger, others apart from three delicate slowies being the pleasantly swaying 101bpm ‘Watcha Gonna Do With My Love‘, message rap 102½bpm title track, jazzy instrumental 122bpm ‘(Theme From) Above The Stars‘, chugging odd 127bpm ‘Mr Rhythm Man‘, not terribly essential.
TERRI JONES: ‘Do It Again Tonight’ (US Mirage 0-96947)
Monotonously chugging 110bpm rolling thudder with less wailing vocal on the sparser dub flip, ultimately boring.
EVAN ROGERS: ‘Stay Here With Me’ (RCA RCAT 416)
The Italian soulster’s Michael Wycoff-ish purposeful 110bpm hot tempo thudder is usefully familiar so dead easy to use (inst/dub flip), and pretty insidious.
THE EARONS: ‘Land Of Hunger’ (Island 12IS 167)
Richie/Monyaka influenced but mainly Odyssey ‘Roots’-like chugging percussion building 111bpm protest song (dub/edit flip), powerful stuff.
D.J. CHUCK CHILL OUT: ‘Hip Hop On Wax – Volume 1′ (US Vintertainment VTIS-002)
The B Boys’ DJ goes to town on a brilliant 113½bpm scratch ‘n cut made up from tantalizing fragments of familiar oldies, a must for hip hop freaks but sadly too specialist for wide consumption — the man’s dexterity is amazing (edit/beats flip).
HI-TENSION: ‘Rat Race’ (Streetwave MKHAN 13)
Bright and familiar seeming jiggly 114bpm Britfunk canterer with squawking sax all too briefly piercing the almost continuous harmony-backed title chant (edit and sombre 89bpm ‘In The Dark‘ flip).
WARP 9: ‘No Man Is An Island — Remix’ (Fourth & Broadway 12BRW 6)
Belated UK release for the now much remixed Richie-influenced afro/carib-ish happy singalong kicking 111½bpm percussion pounder (less dense ‘Island Jam’ and ‘Freak Beats’ dub flip).
THE SYSTEM: ‘I Wanna Make You Feel Good (Remix)’ (Polydor POSPX 685)
Less effectively starting with a disjointed “you’re the one” stutter instead of the original’s sexy yelp, this slower smacking 112½bpm total remix seems much less infectious but does have a usefully extended 102½bpm ‘Promises Can Break‘ as soulful flip (now on its own).
SKWARES: ‘Step By Step’ (LP ‘Skwares’ US Cotillion 90152-1)
Jimmy Douglass-produced Memphis sextet rolling out a Slave-like 111-112bpm groove on this and the thudding 113-114bpm ‘Slam Dunk (Affair)‘ while the 111-112bpm ‘Tricky‘ is almost a re-write of ‘She’s Strange’ (so soon!). Solidly dance driven, the bright if inconsequential set’s others are the 109bpm ‘Girls Girls Girls‘, 117bpm ‘Skware’, 118bpm ‘Circuit Breaker’, 127bpm ‘Ride It’ and (the sole nice slowie) 0-68bpm ‘(U-R) Everything’.
ROGER: ‘Midnight Hour’ (LP The Saga Continues…’ Warners Bros 923975-1)
Routine Roger with no new ideas, this ‘Grapevine’-type vocoder yowled 114bpm Wilson Pickett update so far failing on the floor while possibly best is the lovely lazy instrumental 72bpm ‘TC Song‘ (it’s his guitar that sings), others being the scatting 116bpm ‘Play Your Guitar Brother Roger‘, BB King-ish (0-)135bpm ‘Bucket Of Blood‘, 0- 113bpm ‘Girl Cut It Out‘, 70bpm ‘I Keep Trying‘, 0-127½bpm ‘In The Mix‘, 0-127bpm ‘The Break Song‘.
Hi-NRG
RONI GRIFFITH: ‘(The Best Part Of) Breakin’ Up’ (Making Waves SURF 101T, via Rough Trade)
Perennially popular with Hi-NRG disco dancers especially up north and a steady seller for over a year after its original release on Vanguard, this Bobby “O”-produced rattling 126bpm Ronettes revival now makes a timely reappearance on 3-track 12in with the more stolid 116bpm ‘Voodoo Man‘ and Moroder-ish 123bpm ‘Spys‘. A major chart entry now that its time has come?
THE FLIRTATIONS/MARSHA RAVEN: ‘Earthquake/Catch Me (Anglia Remix)’ (Dutch High Fashion Music MS 118)
Currently huge in the Netherlands, the Ian Anthony Stephens-produced 130bpm oldies have been overdubbed and linked by gimmicky use of the Big Ben chimes (hence ‘Anglia’!), remixed by Rutger ‘Rutti’ Kroese whose B-side efforts with the excitingly percussive 127½bpm EASTBOUND EXPRESSWAY ‘Primitive Desire‘ so impressed producer Ian Levine that he used this version for ‘Street Sounds Hi-Energy 2’. Of obvious use for recent pop converts.
IRENE CARA: ‘Breakdance’ (Epic TA4427)
Giorgio Moroder-produced flurrying echo drum drivel 130bpm rock disco flier with huskily whispered and wailed vocal, or much more electro dub.
TACO: ‘Let’s Face The Music (And Dance)’ (RCA RCAT 409)
The Eurodisco crooner oddly prefaces his electronically shuffling and swaying 119bpm Fred & Ginger revival with chattering smurfs — still, the rest is good MoR, and you can’t keep a great song down!
BRONSKI BEAT: ‘Smalltown Boy’ (Forbidden Fruit BITEX 1)
Eye-cued for DJs (remember that old gimmick? —the points where significant musical changes start are banded as on an LP), the slow start is thus easily skipped before the tinklingly churning falsetto-sung 0-135½-135bpm pop galloper’s beat kicks in.
WANG CHUNG: ‘Don’t Let Go’ (Geffen TA4272)
Electronically driven gruffly chanted speedily throbbing 138bpm slick rock racer recently big Stateside.
