ODDS ‘N’ BODS

BOBBY WOMACK’s ‘So Many Rivers’ LP is finally out here (MCA MCF 3282), and his single on 12in — as is The O’Jays ‘Just Another Lonely Night‘ (Philadelphia International 12PIR 1) . . . Roy Ayers’ new thudding 113¼bpm tripper ‘Slip N’ Slide‘ duetted with BJ Nelson, has arrived on import 7in but CBS promoted it on single-sided 12in ahead of UK release next week . . . Erskine Thompson has pulled one of his typical strokes, buying up all the imported 7in copies of Marvin Gaye-soundlike Frankie Kelly’s ‘Ain’t That The Truth‘ (US Trans World International) to ensure it remained rare, then feeding one copy as an exclusive to Radio London’s morning soul presenter Tony Blackburn who’s merrily been playing it for weeks, thus building the demand (although in truth without this irritating lack of availability it would probably have been dismissed as a good Marvin clone), and now of course it’s coming out on Virgin! . . . Jerome’s imminent newie should be titled ‘Extra Special’ . . . Capital Radio gospel jock Al Matthews has compiled an ‘Inspiration Dance‘ LP for StreetSounds. ranging from recent hits by Steve Arrington, James Ingram, Staple Singers, through Philip Bailey’s ‘I Want To Know You’, to the Edwin Hawkins Singers and Mighty Clouds of Joy . . . NE Wales/Cheshire/N Shropshire’s Marcher Sound 95.4FM has started a new soul show with Paul Edwards every Friday 6-9pm, Saturday 6-10pm, Sunday 7-10pm — not bad going! . . . Tony Dortie hosts ‘The County Party’ including hot soul newies and freebies Saturdays 9pm-1am on Kent’s Invicta Radio 95.1/95.9/96.3/97/103.8 FM . . . Steve Collins, Steve Walsh, or someone, come back soon — who was that bozo last Saturday night?! . . . Surrey’s Sunfire Radio 104.5FM soul pirate, broadcasting Sunday afternoons since April 1984, had their very first — full studio — bust two weeks ago, seemingly along with all the others (Horizon have now voluntarily closed down pending their community licence application) . . . Swansea’s Harry’s Dance Bar has its own “radio station” HFM playing soul every night pre-recorded by Wednesday jocks Jeff Thomas and James Lewis . . . The Northern Ireland Radiothon to benefit various children’s charities on Friday October 11 from 8pm to 10am at Cookstown’s Glenavon Court Hotel will include Gary Davies & Adrian John in Radio One’s first ever all night live broadcast, tied in with a concurrent event in Britain, as the climax to a fund raising campaign — NI clubs are invited to help with special nights of their own, so for details contact Belfast co-ordinators David Hull Entertainments on 0232-240360 or 0265-57386 . . . Radio London’s Soul Night Out begins a new season (in which it’ll switch venues weekly) this Thursday (19) back at Hammersmith Palais, where Tony Blackburn, Steve Walsh & Freddy M will be joined by Five Star, Three Degrees, Royalle Delite, Merchant, Aswad, Warren Mills, PP Arnold, Shakatak, an PA-ing! . . . Friday’s ‘6.20 Soul Train’ has Skipworth & Turner, Miquel Brown, Gap Band, Pointer Sisters, Flesh . . . I find it sad that Harlem’s re-opened Apollo Theater, legendary showcase for black talent, should now be gaining most publicity from the appearance there of such as Boy George, George Michael and especially, of course, Hall & Oates, no matter how reverential their respect for its history . . . Washington DC’s very young D-I-Y go go street group the Junkyard Band, witnessed and reported on last March when I thought they could be huge, have signed with Def Jam (whose product will now be distributed by CBS) . . . George Howard’s ‘Dancing In The Sun’ LP finally topped Billboard’s Jazz chart after 19 weeks, while Kool & The Gang’s ‘Cherish’ topped US Black 45s and the Goon Squad’s ‘Eight Arms To Hold You‘ US Club Play . . . Breakers under the RM Dance 85 include Dante, Precious Wilson, Vikki Love, Commodores, Jennifer Holliday 12in, Trouble Funk . . . DJs faced with a sudden rush of autumn newies seem to be ignoring such recent strong imports as Conquest, Prime Time, Carl Carlton, Janice Christie, Finesse and even Charlie Singleton . . . Derby’s Way Ahead record shop specialises in punk and heavy metal, shoving all the latest soul albums into bargain bins at just £2.49 or £2.99 (try to get there before Paul Needham!) . . . Rene & Angela’s ‘Secret Rendezvous’ (Capitol LP) as previously warned now really is becoming London’s next ‘Buttercup’-like revived oldie . . . Sandy Martin (Swindon Brunel Rooms) plays Madonna ‘Borderline’ rather than her current hyped-up material, while Paul Lewis at the same venue’s Amphitheatre has built a huge buzz on the extended remix of Magnum Force’s ‘In The Mix‘ . . . Paddington Green’s Bluebird Records are trying to recreate a buzz on Bootsy Collins’ ‘Body Slam‘ as they’re now its only stockists — and shop assistant there Steve Watt is itching to DJ again, even warming up for major names (he’s upfront in Rhythm Pals style), on Coulsdon 07375-52110 . . . Ray Davies (Milton Keynes 0908-678314) is after Thur/Fri club work where mixing and party competitions are equally appreciated . . . The Sound Of Music has been formed from their mobiles by Wandsworth’s Brian Devine, Colindale’s Trevor Moore and Acton’s Nigel Lydice on 01-205 7665, hoping to fill the gap left by Mastermind . . . Graham Gold (Mayfair Gullivers) finds Toney Lee synths so perfectly with Tramaine he suspects it’s the same song! . . . Segue Steve Goddard has been mixing Wally Badarou into Jellybean ‘Was Dog A Doughnut?’ since July at Hackney’s Camis Nitespot, East Londoners liking their funk nice ‘n hard ‘n sleazy ‘n slow . . . Pete Tong tips the thus far unimported Gardinia ‘Chiquita Linda‘ (French Magic) . . . China Crisis’s current Walter Becker-produced 121½bpm hit ‘You Did Cut Me‘ is surprisingly soulful, worth checking . . . Tony Cochrane’s first tour on his recently mentioned Scottish Club PA Circuit takes Vince Clark & Andy Bell of Erasure on Thursday (19) to Brechin Jars/Aberdeen Mr G’s, Friday (20) Dundee Buddies/Kirkcaldy Jackie O’s . . . Friday (20) finds Colin Hudd reliving 1983 at Dartford Flicks, the return of monthly funk to Peterborough Fletton Fleet Centre with Nick Graham & Trevor Mac, and Jeff Young joining Danny Smith at Gt Yarmouth Aquarius for a warm-up to Caister (quite a few converted locals go there now) . . . Saturday (21) Baz Fe Jazz, Chris Reid, Rhythm Doc & El Dorado show rare Cuban/Jazz films at Kings Cross La Scala’s latin-jazz allniter . . . Hereward Radio soul jock Steve Allen starts weekly at Peterborough Rinaldo’s this Sunday (22), free before 10pm . . . Tricky Dicky Scanes has added London Cavendish Square’s Phoenix to his gay pub circuit every Saturday . . . Sunday (22) Miquel Brown plays Plymouth Bolts, and Wednesday (25) Three Degrees visit Kensington’s newly video equipped The Park . . . Disco Gary & Paul French do under-18s every Thursday 7-10.30pm at Chatham’s St George Hotel (behind Radio Kent) . . . Sheila E’s ‘A Love Bizarre’ is another song from the ‘Krush Groove’ movie, in which she appears . . . Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King, still with RCA, has also turned up on Private I Records with the George S McFarlane produced ‘Give It Up‘ from a movie called ‘Fright Night’ . . . Dante either have a different single, ‘Freak In Me‘ on US Panoramic or else they’ve got an American rival to their name . . . Island/Fourth & Broadway pluggers Adrian Sykes & Tim Rudling are getting tough with DJs who don’t return charts to RM — I’d better point out that if now suddenly masses of DJs decide to inundate us with charts, they mustn’t merely list any one company’s product but should genuinely reflect what’s happening on the floor, or else they wont get used . . . Welcome to RM, where rock and disco can coexist and IT’S NOT NECESSARILY GOTTA BE MADONNA!

HOT VINYL

COLLAGE: ‘Romeo Where’s Juliet?’ (MCA Records MCAT 1006)
Now again selling on 12in, it took inclusion on a strong album for this excellent insidious bass and jitter guitar driven gut-tugging 107bpm rolling thudder to explode in its own right, the sometimes Shalamar-ish seven man group building the excitement as they growl and slide around the powerhouse beat (even longer dub flip). Superstars of the future?

STEVIE WONDER: ‘In Square Circle’ LP (Motown ZL72005)
Well worth the wait and up to vintage standards on a punchy smash laden set are the great buoyantly shuffling and wriggling 119¼bpm ‘Go Home’, lovely singalong hustling 112bpm ‘Stranger On The Shore Of Love‘, strongly lurching and loping 113bpm ‘Spiritual Walkers‘, busily burbled jittery rolling 110¾-0bpm ‘I Love You Too Much‘, jerkily flowing lightly swinging 121¼bpm ‘Never In Your Sun‘, classically attractive being the melodically swaying 73-0bpm ‘Whereabouts’ and summery slow drifting 83-0bpm ‘Overjoyed’, while ‘It’s Wrong (Apartheid)’ is a rattling fast 125¼bpm exotic skitterer leaving just the frantic flashdance 147¾bpm ‘Land Of La La’ and his current 174½bpm pop hit as the only disappointments for soul fans.

ANDRE CYMONE: ‘The Dance Electric’ (CBS TX 6435)
The acceptable face of Prince so far as British soul fans are concerned appears indubitably, and very fashionably at the moment, to be The Family, Sheila E, Morris Day, and this home town boy whose Prince-prod/penned typical muttering jittery 112¼bpm piledriving groove is more genuinely exciting than anything the Purple Prancer himself has had out in ages.

HAYWOODE: ‘Getting Closer’ (CBS TX 6582)
Sharon now follows Princess and the Three Degrees to be boosted by the hit formula mining Stock/Aitken/Waterman team, who give her a jitter filled deadly catchy 114½bpm slab of New London froth designed to drive one mad.

THE SYSTEM: ‘This Is For You’ (US Mirage 0-96851)
Proved rightly to be THE hit from their album, this sneakily tugging and rumbling wriggly 0-106/6bpm tumbler is in fact a very catchy soulful swayer under all the inventive rhythm trappings, and tougher than ever on 12in (dub flip).

TRAMAINE: ‘Fall Down (Spirit Of Love)’ (A&M AMY 281)
Edwin Hawkins’ sister stretches her mighty lungs around a good old fashioned strong bass bumbled exciting 118bpm disco bounder in wailing diva style, given three different mixes.

FATBACK: ‘She’s A Go-Getter’ (Atlantic B9506T)
Nice chunkily arranged soul vocal interplay sparks a pleasantly striding 112¼bpm jiggly swayer which clomps jauntily along without break, flipped by the emptily churning 125bpm ‘Evil‘ and better 115¼bpm ‘I Love You So‘ from last year.

TONEY LEE: ‘Night Lights’ (US Critique CR 8516)
One of the underground’s favourite voices, on a par with Leroy Burgess, Toney worries away through a brightly striding 117½bpm jiggly bass thump in almost Lutherian style with nervily busy support filling out the texture (inst flip).

STARPOINT: ‘Emotions’ (Elektra EKR 22T)
This Benson/Jarreau-ish pleasantly tripping 114bpm swinging and scatting swayer does everything right but somehow leaves me personally unsatisfied, although evidently not others (older chunky 114½bpm ‘Breakout’ and mock-reggae 80bpm ‘Send Me A Letter’ flip).

MASQUERADE: ‘Set It Off’ (Streetwave MKHAN 55)
Presumably unable to secure either the Strafe or Harleqiun Four’s versions, Streetwave recorded their own UK cover in two less subtle 112½bpm treatments.

SKIPWORTH & TURNER: ‘Hot Pursuit!’ (4th + B’way 12BRW 33)
The thin beat (signal for several more remixes?) gradually fills out as this whooped and growled gospellish 116bpm lurcher jitters and jerks, but to create real tension it needs a beefier bottom (inst flip).

PRESSURE POINT: ‘Mellow Moods’ (Viceroy Records VICE 001, via PRT)
Another cool chick, Lydia Gayle, gets into Sade/Matt Bianco/Everything But The Girl territory with an Astrud Gilberto-ish pleasant shuffling 150½-151½-150-149-150½-0bpm jazz samba.

Hi-NRG

MADONNA: ‘Angel’ (Sire W8881T)
Americans already have ‘Dress You Up’ but here we’re just getting their A-side coupling to ‘Into The Groove’, a bright jerky 133bpm strutter.

MIRIAM LEE: ‘The Men In My Life’ (Passion PASH 1248)
Spirited 138bpm formula Hi-NRG galloper with some Kinks guitar (and a cue for that old joke about “the life in my men”?).

EVELYN THOMAS: ‘Reflections’ (Record Shack SOHOT53)
Strangely subdued episodic slow then pulsing 0-83-130-0bpm Supremes revival helped immensely by the song still being so strong (livelier 131bpm ‘Running Wild In The Night‘ flip).

DIANA ROSS: ‘Eaten Alive’ (Capitol 12CL 372)
Breathless skittery nervous 128½bpm racer co-written and produced by Barry Gibb and Michael Jackson (with typical Jacko phrasing).

GINO SOCCIO: ‘Human Nature’ (Noir Records 12CHALK 101, via 01-938 5988)
Belated UK release for his Michelle Sweeney-sung good powerfully pounding 133¼bpm flier.

THE BEVERLEY SISTERS: ‘Sisters’ (Hippodrome 12HIPPO 104)
Dusty doesn’t but the Bevs do sing Hi-NRG for Peter Stringfellow, on a ’70s-style flurrying 127½bpm revival of their Irving Berlin theme song.

BRONSKI BEAT: ‘Run From Love’ (London BITD 5)
Ultra frantic 132½bpm Jimi wailed galloper from their remix LP.

LAURA BRANIGAN: ‘Spanish Eddie’ (Atlantic A9531T)
An 129½bpm boyfriend for ‘Gloria’.

DJ’S FACTORY: ‘A View To A Kill’ (Rush Records RR 12011, via Lightning)
German 119½bpm cover of Sailor Le Bon’s Bond theme extended to 8:30 on 12in complete with breaks.

LAID BACK: ‘One Life’ (Sire W8896T)
Frantic 141¾bpm Euro charger hitting US clubs.

DEAD OR ALIVE: ‘My Heart Goes Bang’ (Epic TA 6571)
Yet more vacuous 125¾bpm rattling like before.

HEATHER RUSH: ‘Somebody (Is Taking Your Love Away)’ (President PT 12-535)
Throbbingly flowing 0-126¾bpm canterer.

LORNA WRIGHT: ‘Policewoman’ (MDM Records MDM 1-12)
Cluttered jerky 120bpm thunderer semi-spoken between crescendos.
