ODDS ‘N’ BODS

THE FAMILY have confounded sceptics despite their Prince connection by exploding with the hottest album in ages — as mentioned last week it’s real music — and also riding purple coat tails to as yet less widespread dancefloor raving is Andre Cymone, not to be missed . . . No Way Jose’s Espanol version is finally on 12in A-side, flipped by the Knockout Mix . . . Atlantic have reissued the old 115¾bpm Margie Joseph ‘Midnight Lover‘ (B9713T) presumably because it’s so like ‘Holiday’ . . . Sister Sledge ‘Dancing On The Jagged Edge’, reviewed off LP, on 12in turns out to be 113-0bpm . . . ‘Hot Pursuit!‘ is the enthusiastic jittery lurching 116bpm Skipworth & Turner newie, out in about two weeks . . . John Morales has remixed Michael Lovesmith ‘Ain’t Nothin’ Like It‘ as follow up . . . The Weather Girls have had a sombre dull 97½bpm remix (it is indeed David Sanborn’s sax) . . . DJs charting Five Star’s “Cutback Mix” presumably mean the ‘Dance Mix by Hard Rock’ — or has there been yet another remix that I missed? . . . Peter Royer’s sales have been hanging back in anticipation of the re-edit incorporating Dexter Wansel, which should be due now . . . Rene & Angela ‘I’ll Be Good’ irritatingly has shown up on import as a proper remix (inst flip), whereas the UK released version successfully beat Stevie Wonder as record of the week on Guy Hornsby’s 2.30-4.30pm Radio London soul show last Thursday, picked by myself with Walthamstow mates John McDowell (hello to his sister!) and Steve Parker, who both knew a lot and sure had taste . . . I also guested last Monday in Newcastle Upon Tyne, somewhat shattered and sleepless, on Ian Hughes’ weekly 6.20-8pm Metro Radio soul show, where I reminisced about the city’s Club A Go Go 20 years ago! . . . Chris Hill has adapted his Boogaloo Joe Jones-backed ‘Caister Rap’ as a radio commercial for his regular Newcastle gigs at Bill & Malcolm Walker’s eponymous Walker’s Club Café, the coolest spot in town which only plays soul music, both upstairs and down in its day-long brasserie (Chris is back on Monday Sept 9): last week he took a while to warm up although once past the silly session he really cooked for the rest of the night, which possibly thanks to its St Trinians theme turned some parts of the club into one long water fight with the girls the worst culprits — and Fred Dove proved quite handy with a hockey stick too! . . . I was pleased to meet wacky chart contributors Phil Mitchell from Walker’s, and Adrian Allen from South Shields Chelsea Cat, with whom I had a long chat . . . Chris Hill (who incidentally soon strikes out for pastures new, leaving Sheffield Green Hilly’s to the local Sussex Young Farmers!) does a hot mix from Sly & Robbie ‘Make ‘Em Move’ into Manu Dibango ‘Soul Makossa’ . . . Newcastle’s Hitsville USA in Old Eldon Square, run by Tony Bromwich & Joan Wright, as already noted is the local disco stockist (with all the new imports but selling more Hi-NRG), but it was at The Record Box second hand shop (Waterloo Street, and also Percy Street) that I picked up stacks of useful old 7in oddities for party sessions, well worth checking with an open mind . . . Frank Anderson of Camden Town while visiting Dublin stumbled across the Beat Records shop in Abbey Mall, Middle Abbey Street, stuffed with mint condition 12in classics . . . Tony Cochrane (0382-644003/22348) has organised a Scottish Club PA circuit for visiting artists, all expenses paid and chauffeur transport around 12 venues to cover the country in four days, plus radio and TV where possible . . . Friday’s ‘6-20 Soul Train’ has Total Contrast, Rene & Angela, Womack & Womack, The SOS Band, Nona Hendryx, Temptations — meanwhile, almost distraught, Liverpool’s Sonny King appeals for the series to be extended beyond October as he reckons it’s at last getting the music through to people who’d never normally hear it . . . Island’s go go movie ‘Good To Go’ is probably not opening in the USA until November now — DETT/TTED boss Max Kidd, quite accurately impersonated in the film (some of it shot in his actual office), in real life Washington DC appears not to have the hold over the local go go musicians he used to . . . Tony Blackburn, boring? (tee hee!) . . . Tony was actually a bit late in claiming an exclusive on the Lisa Lisa album, about ten days, the reason other radio stations weren’t playing it already possibly being that it isn’t all that good! . . . Dayton, O’Jays, Jennifer Holliday, Windjammer and Azymuth were other import LPs last week, best mainly for slowies, while Phil Fearon & Galaxy’s new album, arrived on UK-priced Dutch import well ahead of its scheduled release here! . . . Colonel Abrams topped US 12in Sales, Tears For Fears ‘Shout’ topped Club Play (and entered the Black chart there) . . . Megatone releases are evidently being widely boycotted in the States because one of the label’s owners failed to pay royalties promised to the AIDS Research Fund from a charity Patrick Cowley Megamedley, which explains why Modern Rocketry is only doing well in Britain where this news wasn’t widely known . . . Dusty Springfield’s current comeback hit was co-penned by Donna Summer . . . I’d just like to point out for some gay DJs’ benefit that our Hi-NRG chart is compiled from the charts we are sent, and first class postage is currently 17p . . . Breakers bubbling under the Disco 85 include The Three Degrees, Kabbala, Merchant, Sugarloaf ‘Kiss’, The SOS Band, Shakatak, Carl Carlton, No Way Jose (Espanol), Prime Time, and a Kool & The Gang medleying ‘Dance Into The Future (Cool Mix)’ bootleg . . . Thursday (29) the Marlboro Roadshow puffs into Derby’s Knotted Snake, hopefully complete with McLaren racing car — other similar promotions or PAs would be welcomed there by Paul Needham on 0533-374469 (days) . . . Friday (30) Kensington’s Roof Gardens find Eon Irving funking designer Charlie Allen’s sneak preview of his spring ’86 fashions modelled by the like of Loose Ends, DC Lee, Andy Polaris and Nick Heyward (ticket info from Jackie at Tony Hall’s office on 01-437 1958) . . . Chris Dinnis souls Cullompton Blazers Studio Saturday (31) . . . Birmingham Maximillian’s cosy alldayer Sunday (11) has Frenchie T, Trevor M, Paul Dixon, Richie Rich and jazzy Chris Reid . . . Sunday’s PLASA equipment exhibition appears to be at Hammersmith’s Novotel in London, but I can’t help thinking we’d have been sent details had they actually wanted DJs and other mere mortals to turn up . . . Clinton Cambridge does Edgware High Street’s Bald Eagle wine bar with new soul Fri/old soul Tues/rocky pop Wed . . . Ray Davies (Milton Keynes) reckons Indian weddings are the key to a fortune: he did one for 900 guests, they supplied the Indian music, paid him £110 for three hours, and he got another £78 in tips — apparently it’s the custom to reward entertainers who play music they like . . . Lonnie Liston Smith’s old ‘Expansions’ seems to have reached the new generation, who request it incessantly according to both Big H and Chris Hill . . . Walls Ice Cream are test marketing in Yorkshire a yummy new choc bar with malt, toffee and chocolate flavour filling, called Romero — ice cream freaks, like me, look out for it! . . . “What you gon’ play now, Bobby?” “Ah don’ know, but what’s ever I play, IT’S GOTTA BE MADONNA!”

HOT VINYL

ROYALLE DELITE: ‘(I’ll Be A) Freak For You’ (Streetwave MKHAN 51)
Nearly a year old, the Brooklyn girls purposefully wriggling here 108½bpm hauntingly moronic nagger never charted in a big way yet has hung on in certain of London’s low dives as an underground monster, now finally to hit the nation flipped by a new clever Derek Boland-cut, scratched ‘n phased 108½-108bpm Good Groove Mix (edit too).

BOBBY WOMACK: ‘So Many Rivers’ LP (US MCA Records MCA-5617)
Hottest release of the week and because of an early deadline I haven’t time to review it properly! Rest assured that if you’re into Bobby you’ll simply love it, although as a dance set its not strictly essential unless you and your crowd love soul.

BROOKLYN BRONX & QUEENS (B.B.&Q.) ‘Minutes Away’ (Cooltempo COOLX 112)
Their album’s attractive crawling Curtis Hairston crooned 0-75½/37¾bpm ballad has been extended, and flipped for real power by a punchily jolting 112bpm remix of the chunkily chugging ‘Main Attraction‘ — which indeed it probably will be, so far as discos are concerned. Good value.

THE THREE DEGREES: ‘The Heaven I Need’ (Supreme Records SUPET 102. via PRT)
From the same team as Princess and like her selling in some lucky shops on single-sided white label ahead of release on September 16, the girls return is a brightly snicking and ticking 110bpm choppy unison harmony pusher that at last gives them a modern, smash bound, credible sound again.

P.P. ARNOLD: ‘A Little Pain’ (10 Records TEN 70-12)
Dexter Wansel produced, Nick Martinelli mixed, the ex-Ikette whose heyday was even longer ago than Tina Turner’s has returned unexpectedly more convincing than ever on an almost satirically accurate 94½bpm pastiche of The SOS Band sound (inst and 67/33½bpm ‘Smile’ flip). It sizzles!

THE WORLD FAMOUS MAD LADS: ‘You Blew It’ (Champion CHAMP 12-3)
The mid ’60s Memphis soul searers delightful snappily chugging Oliver Cheatham-ish 116½bpm timeless tripper was only on import 7in so now should really take off as a 12in (edit, and squeaky tension lacking 56½bpm ‘Trying To Forget About You’ flip). These lads can still sing!

SCREAMIN’ TONY BAXTER: ‘Get Up Offa That Thing (Godfather II)’ (4th + B’way 12BRW 9)
Stripped down, thinned out, remixed and built back up with brand new instrumental overdubs by The Team, this lurching lean ‘n mean 114¾-114¼bpm tribute to Mr James Brown was legendary in Europe for years (original and inst flip), but like this now kicks ass more than ever before.

TRAMAINE: ‘Fall Down (Spirit Of Love)’ (US A&M SP-12146)
Biblical wind introed then good old fashioned jittery tripping 118¼bpm disco bounder wailed by an uncredited though familiar sounding het up lady of the diva type, who could give it HI-NRG appeal too, in three main mixes.

BRASS CONSTRUCTION: ‘Conquest’ (Capitol 12CL 371)
Oh dear! As suspected their US 12in-issued Ashford & Simpson-ish 103½bpm ‘Give And Take‘ remains the best track and potentially biggest hit on their new LP ‘Conquest’ (US Capitol ST-12423), from which the breathily hissed churning 115¼-0bpm title track throbber has been remixed for our first 12in instead, flipped more strongly by 0-115-0bpm remix and dub versions of the LP’s 0-115¼-0bpm ‘Zig Zag‘ chunkily trucking keyboard and chix chorussed instrumental. The self consciously old-style 0-109-108-107½-108-108½bpm ‘Startin’ All Over Again‘ must be a tongue in cheek offering for their traditional British fans, while the rest of a slightly disappointing set is the typical 115¼bpm ‘Comeback‘, derivative pop 115¼bpm ‘Goodnews‘, untidy 124½bpm ‘My Place’, Prince-ish 0-117½bpm ‘Modern Touch’, Phil Collins-ish 184bpm ‘Secret Lover’. What’s this fascination Randy Muller has for 115¼bpm?

STEVIE WONDER: ‘Part-Time Lover’ (Motown ZB40351)
Modelled on Phil Collins’ You Can’t Hurry Love’ and Billy Joel’s ‘Tell Her About It’, this 174½bpm bounder (only on 7in, inst flip) will obviously be a huge pop hit . . . and another ‘Frankie’?

FALCO: ‘Rock Me Amadeus’ (A&M AMY 278)
Exaggeratedly epiglottic muttering and stuttering powerful deliberately tempoed jittery slow 87¾-0bpm pop tugger, huge in Continental clubs all this summer and a likely hit here.

WHITNEY HOUSTON: ‘You Give Good Love’ (Arista ARIST 12625)
Kashif produced dead slow spurting 37½/75bpm swooping and soaring Dionne-ish US smash now finally on 12in here, with the nervily skittering Kashif duetted 119½bpm ‘Thinking About You’ and Jermaine Jackson’s strutting 0-123¼bpm ‘Someone For Me’.

HAMBO: ‘Hambo: First Rap Part II’ (US Tommy Boy TB 872)
Any similarity to Sylvester Stallone is intentional — that’s why Lou Di Maggio impersonates to a dry slow 78bpm beat box rhythm, side swiping not only ‘Rambo’ but also Run DMC, Kurtis Blow, Fat Boys, Lisa Lisa and Ronnie Reagan as he goes (inst flip). Rappin’ Sly!
