March 23, 1985: Cashmere, Rose Royce, Toney Lee, Lifesighs, Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious Five

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

Lead singer with Krystol and former member of Alton McClain & Destiny, 32 year-old Delores Marie Warren was killed Feb 22 in an LA car crash — ‘After The Dance Is Through’, indeed … DeBarge’s 12in is as suspected not the M&M remix, which is yet to come … EMI America here too have promoed Jellybean ‘Sidewalk Talk‘ on 12in, in three 115bpm mixes, to plug its old parent mini LP-cum-EP ‘Wotupski!?!’: Madonna’s involvement as writer, vocal arranger and background singer (behind Catherine Buchanan) has prevented the cut’s commercial release on single due to contract conditions … Mary Jane Girls new recruit Yvette ‘Corvette’ Marine turns out to be the daughter of disco diva Patti Brooks … Shalamar ‘My Girl Loves Me‘ has been remixed on import, and while still not great it’s a lot better … Commodores topped US Black 45s, Gap Band Black LPs … Billboard’s current Hot Black singles chart actually contains the likes of Sheena Easton, George Michael, Philip Bailey & Phil Collins, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Madonna, Jermaine Jackson & Pia Zadora, Mick Jagger, REO Speedwagon, not to mention many other decidedly dodgy pop records by black people — though it’s yet to reach the level of whitewash which (obviously a data-collection fault) in fact caused the old R&B chart to hibernate for a rethink lasting more than a year around 1964 … Paul Parker ‘Don’t Play With Fire‘, at 17, is the highest placed import in Billboard’s first brand new US 12in sales chart compiled from specialist stores — TC Curtis (24) and Dead Or Alive (27) are amongst other UK imports selling Stateside ahead of US release — a good effort and sure now to create the sort of record company interest there with which we have long been familiar here (the Patti LaBelle/Harold Faltermeyer double-sider tops the 12in chart as it still does Dance/Disco) … Newcastle-Upon-Tyne’s John Myers, long at Legends Wine Bar but now also funking Julie’s, buys his hot vinyl from Hitsville USA in Old Eldon Square, “the only shop in the area that even tries” … Rayners Lane’s Record & Disco Centre, where by now you should realize I do my shopping, gets many big spenders including one ex-“soul boy” who spent £60 on something like 6 LPs and a 12in, just for home listening that week — which put me in mind of my biggest ever spending spree when on arrival in New York in April 1964 I walked into Colony Records and bought 70 LPs and 60 7in singles, for an extravagant yet to British eyes in those days bargain-like circa $310/£129 (LPs were cheaper there at about $3.60, 7in dearer at 95 cents, $2.40 to £1: the equivalent quantity bought here at import prices today would come to over £740, which may look horrifying but considering the current exchange rate and the rise in the cost of living in the last 21 years seems surprisingly not unreasonable, at 5.7 times the original total cost, everything being relative (it’s the same inflation rate as the cost of a daily newspaper) … Temptations, Sapphires, Sensations, Miracles, Mar-Keys, Mary Wells & Marvin Gaye, Eddie Holland, Irma Thomas, Dionne Warwick, all and more were amongst those 70 LPs … Tricky Dicky Scanes was also at that 1962 Woolwich Granada concert with Sam Cooke and Little Richard — in fact, in the second row, he caught and still has the latter’s tie, thrown into the audience! — while in his own name-dropping binge Dicky recalls at 1968’s San Remo Song Festival night clubbing with Wilson Pickett, smooching with Timi Yuro, taking tea with Shirley Bassey, helping Sarah Vaughan into the casino and saying hello to Louis Armstrong … meanwhile, back in 1985, Mastermind are holding the first ever cut, scratch & mixing competition, using only turntables and records (no drum machines etc), the finals at Hammersmith Palais over Easter but the heats before that at Lewisham’s Paradise Garage (details Max 01-450 5983 or Bert 968 6428) … Steve Walsh has the shirt-tail crews at Peckham Kisses doing the Happy Feet dance to Lisa Lisa … I wonder which Radio London soul presenter thinks Lonnie Liston Smith looks like Andy Peebles? … Gary Oldis, plus a partner, has taken over Scarborough’s 27 room Castle Hotel in Queen Street and converted half the ground floor into the smart over-26s Wed-Sat Mr. Bumbles, with himself as DJ … Edinburgh’s new Move label plans releasing a wide range of black product, soul/disco/Hi-NRG/reggae/gospel/jazz, with distribution via The Cartel, but specialist shops can check direct on 031-225 8518 … John Anderson, whose Big Band is resident at his own Belfast ballroom, is now looking to license his great ‘Glenn Miller Medley‘ to a label here following the buzz created by my review, evidently biggest in the Midlands —which is interesting, as that’s where the last Glenn Miller buzz began in ’75 following my review of the Joe Bob’s Nashville Sound Company ‘In The Mood’ … Spangles Muldoon, of North Sea piracy fame, has long used his real name of Chris Cary as head of the no less piratical but securely Dublin-based Radio Nova: housed in its own £2,000,000 entertainment/studio complex, it’s a US-style station with no restrictions — reaching right through Wales, North-West and Mid-England on 102.7FM/738MW … Shropshire’s less than legal but locally loved Sunshine Radio recently closed down without prior notice, leaving ILR experienced Top 40 mid-morning man Colin ‘James’ Day looking for another radio gig on 0905-353361 … Disco John Leech is currently sitting in on Capital’s early show … Paul Anthony has inaugurated a dynamic new deal in theme nights at Nottingham’s Easy Street this Thursday (21), the toga party including a “Biggus Dickus” competition … Keith Seal’s Friday at West Malling’s The Greenway this week (22) has a marathon PA by David Grant & Jaki Graham, next (29) The Cool Notes … Loose Ends PA Saturday (23) for Tim Guvnor at Harlow Whispers … Sunday (24) Leeds Tiffanys’ 3pm alldayer has Colin Curtis, Paul Dixon, Simon Smith and more with guest hip hoppery … Pete Haigh’s Thursdays are now spent funking The Fever at Blackpool’s Blakes next to the Odeon, with the last Thursday in every month joined by Bob Blackwood for ‘60s/‘70s Mecca/Wigan revival time … Phil Simmons packs High Wycombe Oceans Thursday ladies night with his “superior” mixing, and lofty Simon Harris fills Fridays at Epping Billy Jean’s mixing 100% soul & jazz with Chris Hill and Froggy monthly regulars … Dan Air & Jonathon More’s full Flim Flam Fridays at New Cross Harp Dance Club have added Room At The Top for overflow afro/jazz/reggae … Andy Mac, ex-Manchester Millionaire, funks Fridays at Peterborough Rinaloos … Franklin Sinclair (who from his handwriting ought to be a doctor rather than a solicitor!) still funks Saturdays at Bolton Dance Factory but has also returned under his own soulful terms on Thursdays at Radcliffe Benny’s near Bury … Jerry Green & Big Phil Etgart funk Wembley Stallones Sundays, while Shaun Williams & The Mambo’s hot funk Sundays at Edgbaston Faces International are now somewhat self-consciously called The Trendy Club … Andy Baker funks Buckley Trends near Chester Mon/Thur/Sat — and says “root” to Kim Rathbone (Rhyl Savoy Bistro) …  DEE OH DA DA!

EMI RECORDS have revived their long dormant Stateside logo for a pair of oldies LPs. THE O’JAYS ‘Working On Your Case‘ (EG 2604821) is an excellent soulful set of mid-60’s Imperial & Minit sides, including one of my faves of ’64 ‘You’re On Top‘ and a “live” ‘Stand In For Love‘ that’s almost the same as I cassetted at Harlem’s Apollo in July ’67 (when the crowd screams at “I’m like a shadow in the dark” it’s because all the lights have gone out!). NELLIE LUTCHER ‘Real Gone Gal‘ (EG 2604791) is an interesting selection of subdued late-’40s boogie ‘n’ blues by a legendary if little heard star of her day, sparked by one terrific booting duet with Nat ‘King’ Cole on ‘For You My Love‘. PRT’s new Chess series (CXMB 7200) which includes BOBBY WOMACK & THE VALENTINOS (CXMB 7202), GENE CHANDLER (CXMB 7207), ‘Chess Sisters Of Soul’ (CXMP 2052 — Jackie Ross, Etta James, Mitty Collier etc), ‘Chess Master Sampler’ (CXSP 72501— Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, all the R&B greats, good value), ‘The Best Of New Orleans R&B’ (CXMP 2055 — Eddie Bo, Hawketts, Rod Bernard etc). Less remorselessly “Northern” than might have been supposed, Inferno Soul Club/Skratch Music Productions’ recent set ‘Soul Galore‘ (SINLP 1, via PRT) has many ’60s gems from the Brunswick/Scepter/Wand/Musicor labels plus a bonus 7in EP of Chuck Jackson hits, and now a sequel is due, while from the same Neil Rushton-originated source SMP/inferno have just issued BILLY BUTLER ‘Right Track‘ (SKM 129) on 12in, the 133-135-136½bpm classic being followed by its previously unissued instrumental and flipped by good stompers from The Poppies, Vibrations & Triumphs. Is this in fact the first UK release for ‘Right Track’ on any sort of single? OKeh!

HOT VINYL

CASHMERE: ‘We Need Love’ (Fourth & Broadway 12BRW 22)
Less overtly “commercial” maybe than ‘Can I’ but already an established sensation with soulful young ladies, this calmly swaying 105-104⅔bpm tripper is cunningly simple and impassionedly crooned in Michael Jackson-ish style, while the flip’s a remix of the perkily skittering 121⅔bpm ‘Keep Me Up‘.

ROSE ROYCE: ‘Love Me Right Now’ (Streetwave MKHAN 39)
Fluidly pumping brightly wriggling and burbling fast 120½bpm chugger infectiously treated as Ricci and the girls repeatedly warble and wail the title line all around the beat, very pleasant but it doesn’t have the lasting substance of a ‘Magic Touch’ — their LP’s old 103bpm “New Philadelphia Remix” of which just happens to be flip.

TONEY LEE: ‘Teaser (Uptown Mix)’ (US Critique CR 8510)
Drily punching steady little 116bpm bonker (not from his usual team) with Toney sounding more anxious as the sneaky tension builds and the backing fills out (synthier percussive Downtown Mix and instrumental flip), quite nagging.

LIFESIGHS: ‘All In One Night’ (SURE 1)
Interestingly atmospheric tapping cool 117-0bpm harmony swayer rather as if Phil Fearon, Lionel Richie, I Level and the Commodores had all combined, very professional —and a complete mystery on uninformative white label (dub flip). How do you order it?

GRANDMASTER MELLE MEL & THE FURIOUS FIVE: ‘Pump Me Up’ (Sugarhill SHL 141)
Here’s a timely turn up: the rappers of the moment not only cover but are actually backed by go go kings Trouble Funk on a choppily rattling 106⅓-108-106⅓-108-106⅓-108-106⅓ revamp of the latter’s current B-side, flipped by its scratchier inst and — a really big bonus — last month’s Disco Mix Club medley by Sanny X, his excellent 102bpm ‘The MegaMelle Mix‘ which should be bigger on the floor than the A-side.

FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD: ‘Welcome To The Pleasure Dome’ (ZTT 12ZTAS 7)
Here we go again, (0-)114⅘-114⅔-0bpm, but not as urgent as ‘Relax’.

BROTHER D WITH COLLECTIVE EFFORT: ‘How We Gonna Make The Black Nation Rise?’ (Fourth & Broadway 12BRO 1)
New more spaciously re-edited 114-115⅓-116⅓-115bpm version of the collectively rapped well reasoned political protest which flows easily over the backing of Cheryl Lynn’s ‘Got To Be Real’ (older original on flip).

GEORGE DUKE: ‘Thief In The Night’ (US Elektra 0-66912)
George’s grandiose production basically wriggles away in 0-113⅕bpm ‘Medicine Song/Plane Love’-ish style with snatches of whispy vocal through familiar clichéd buzzing rock guitar and many varied instrumental shifts, all held together by the tapping percussion track (dub flip) — not bad, not Steve Arrington either.

LUTHER VANDROSS: ‘‘Til My Baby Comes Home (Dance Version)’ (Epic TA 6074)
Luther’s LP was due on import last weekend just after I left for the States, so doubtless fans will now head straight for that: meanwhile, this Billy Preston-organed romping and roaring fast (0-)139bpm backbeat swinger is still proving tricky on the floor (more cramped LP version and inst flip), spiritually rousing though it may be.

RICK JAMES: ‘Can’t Stop’ (Motown TMGT 1378)
Jaunty 135bpm rock-disco chugging basher aimed in a ‘Belle Of St Mark’ direction, flipped by its inst and thankfully his last LP’s great soulful slow (0-)72½bpm ‘Oh What A Night (4 Luv)‘.

GREG PHILLINGANES: ‘Behind The Mask’ (Planet RPST 110)
Michael Jackson arranged and co-written lurchingly loping backbeat bashed 115⅘bpm pent-up vocal version of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s previously instrumental electro oldie, now a rocky ‘Ghostbusters’-ish chugger (inst too), coupled with the Bill Withers co-penned more soulful subduedly jerky densely jittering 115⅕bpm ‘Only You‘ (so far, hotter).

ELTON HARWOOD: ‘Just Like Money’ (Harwood HARD 01)
Andy Sojka-produced nice mellow mushy semi-slow 108⅓bpm shuffler with doodling sax and phrase chanting chix (those elements making the Club Mix flip) while husky Elton joins in the repetitive lazy chanting on his own vocal side. Warm and comfortable like a blanket.

HAYWOODE: ‘Roses’ (CBS TX 6069)
Nothing to do with lime juice or chocolates, The Quick-produced solid 115bpm smacker is better than her last one but still too aggressively “disco”, whereas I’m sure she’ll eventually do better if given a more sympathetically treated proper song.

AMII STEWART: ‘That Loving Feeling’ (RCA PT 40018)
Subdued delicate 0-91⅓bpm throbber with one of those drawn out tempoless vocal intros, very attractive if possibly too amorphous to be anything more (spikily chugging 121bpm ‘Fever Line‘ flip).

JENNY BURTON: ‘Nobody Can Tell Me (He Don’t Love Me)’ (LP ‘Jenny Burton’ Atlantic 781238-1)
Nothing’s as joyous as her 103½bpm ‘Bad Habits‘ but this Teena Marie-ish 111½bpm lurching swayer, the electro juddered 117½bpm ‘Dancing For My Love‘ and tranquil crawling 35½bpm ‘Love Runs Deeper Than Pride’ have some fans, and Jenny can really sing given the chance.

DR. FRESHH: ‘Roxanne’s Doctor —The Real Man’ (US Zakia IK 009)
Another chapter, as usual c100bpm, though very opportunistic and not very good.

MAGIC BOX: ‘I Heard It Through The Grapevine’ (Kameleon Records NEON 101T, via Pinnacle)
Roy Carter-produced bright pop-aimed 129bpm revival in Kane Gang style (brassy old fashioned 128bpm instrumental ‘Space Funk Part 1’ flip).

THE MIGHTY GRYNNER: ‘Stinging Bees’ (Bajan BEE 1)
Eddy Grant-produced 121⅓bpm Barbadian calypso, mildly political mentioning Maggie and other first names.
