January 11, 1986: Kurtis Blow, Cherrelle with Alexander O’Neal, Evelyn Thomas, Viola Wills, Mantronix

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

DEN HARROW’s new Eurobeat hit you will see is called ‘Charleston‘ — no, not the 1920s oldie, but the name being given to the Continent’s current slower dance tempo in Italy and France (so did we jump the gun in retitling the Hi-NRG chart to Eurobeat when this could be more appropriate?) … Sahara ‘Love So Fine‘ just refuses to die, Christmas plays and sales bringing it back into the Disco chart, where maybe not surprisingly there’s been a big resurgence of the solo sets by Cherrelle and Alexander O’Neal — the latter’s ‘What’s Missing‘ most now surely be a candidate for 12in release? … George McCrae ‘Rock Your Baby’ has been remixed on US Sunnyview Classics (with his 1974 original as flip), while Bernard Wright’s new import 12in couples a remixed ‘After You’ with ‘Yo Nard’ on US Manhattan … Les Adams’ excellent Change medley, covering all their vintages and making intelligent use of digital delay, has been promoed by WEA with no commercial release date set yet (maybe if it does come out it should be titled ‘Give Me, Give Me, Give Me Some Change’?): meanwhile Disco Mix Club colleague Alan Coulthard has a similarly promo-only Haywoode megamix on CBS, rhythmically more compatible of course so more slickly flowing but for some reason largely instrumental … Disco Mix Club’s December mixes were mainly 1985 medleys, Les Adams’ Funk, Alan Coulthard s Pop (and Merry Mixmas!), Sanny X s Rock, Euro and general Dance Party, while just received their January mixes are Les’s current funk, Alan’s pop-soul oldies (kicked off by his fave much-used Sharon Redd ‘Beat The Street’), Sanny’s hip hop and Billy Idol megamix (subscription details on 06286-67276) … Les Adams incidentally has been impressing various DJ Association meetings with his live mixing demonstrations, and can be caught by the public megamixing funk on a 3000 watt system at Norbury’s Sussex Tavern every Tues/Thur … Disco Gary VanDenBussche still funks Fridays at Croydon Southend’s facelifted Club Musique, now called Langleys, where Dirty Dave Shirt souls Saturdays (and Shepherds Bush Silks Fri) … Chris Brown’s Sunday lunchtimes are legendary but he classily souls Wednesday nights as well as Ascot’s The Belvedere Arms (at Blacknest Gate on the A329) … Kevin Hawkins has started ‘70s soul at Westcliff On Sea Swag Club Tues, disco at Brentwood Blazers Thurs and Hornchurch Rivals Sun (latter two are wine bars), with weekends at reopened Brentwood Elliotts … Jeff Thomas has dropped all other gigs to be resident jock at Bridgend’s Valbonne (ex-Drones) in Mid-Glamorgan … Stevie Dee is now the sole DJ at Gillingham’s Regency in the King Charles Hotel, having added jazz-funk Sundays to his other full line-up of nights … Paul Anderson & Steve Walsh’s sidekick Freddie M funk Peckham Kisses Friday with girls admitted free … Jonathon More & Rob Milton’s somewhat esoteric Meltdown night is back at Deptford Champs Fridays … Gary Steel funks Greenford Oscars Sundays and does Gerrards Cross Smarties Fridays … London Charing Cross Road Busby’s has had a major refit, the fourth (I think) to be endured there by long standing resident Greg Gregory in the last ten years … Ciarian Lawlor does Fri/Sat at Birmingham’s refurbished The Millionaire — which I’ll be visiting next month as a roving guest judge of the 1986 Technics DJ Mixing Championships … Merseyside’s Personality DJ Of The Year “Julia” Grant, entertainment overlord of Firehurst Leisure’s rapidly expanding Mersey/Manchester pub chain (18 and adding), does La Jardin nightly and then doubles at Clouds Mon/Tues, Coconut Grove Wed/Fri, Secrets Thur/Sat (Sunday she has a lie in!) … Darryl Hayden’s fire-eating video roadshow recently gigged at the House Of Commons … Dartford’s Mixmaster Fressh FM is touting for work on 04747 6381 (evenings) — ask for Chris Marshall! … Ken Brudenell (Southampton Raffles) reckons Patti Austin ‘The Heat Of Heat‘ if issued here on 12in could be another Cherrelle as they’re so similar … Chris Gagola, playing to Radio One listeners at Hemel Hempstead’s The Living Room, nevertheless has successfully revived Sheila E ‘A Love Bizarre’ in anticipation of its UK release this month, and remains a big fan of The Family ‘High Fashion‘ … Level 42 to my mind have been a rock group (albeit soulful like Steely Dan) for several years now, yet still there are DJs who play them but don’t touch Tina Turner — how odd … Ladies Choice are men? … ‘Vision Quest’, the movie, has been renamed by Warner Bros for video release after the song Madonna is seen singing — her only appearance — ‘Crazy For You‘ … Club DJ Of The Year nominations are still welcome from globe trotting disco pluggers, few of whom managed to get them to me before Christmas … I had a refreshing full fortnight off, half in North Notts and half in North Wales, the New Year’s Eve party at my mate Sparrow Harrison’s mansion in the latter once again being the only one outside London to relay Capital Radio’s four hour party tape, to which I rocked ‘n’ rolled with Ann ‘Spud’ Murphy — many renewed thanks to all for your cards, and the odd Jeroboam! … 1986 deserves to see us all campaigning for more soul during daytime shows on BBC Radio One —IN EIGHTY-SIX LET’S GIVE ‘EM STICK!

HOT VINYL

KURTIS BLOW ‘If I Ruled The World’ (Club JABX 26)
Already monstrous as it fits right in with Full Force, Mantronix, Doug E. Fresh and the rest, this half sung/half rapped (0-)97bpm infectious bouncy jiggler from ‘Krush Groove’ has go go percussion, chix chanted choruses and scratching breaks (dub/inst flip), another to fly the flag for “new wave hip hop”.

CHERRELLE with Alexander O’Neal ‘Saturday Love’ (Tabu TA 6829)
Well, we at least all knew that this 115⅓bpm catchy slinker would be a smash, although most must be disappointed that the 12in lacks the LP’s dialogue intro, inessential for disco use of course but a major part of the total track’s appeal and doubtless responsible for the album’s renewed sales (her old 120bpm ‘I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On‘ vocal is flip, sadly not the superior exciting instrumental version). Meanwhile back in the States. their 12in is an acappella started more spaciously remixed 116bpm Extended Version (US Tabu 4Z9 05332), with instrumental flip and a useful rhythm-started acappella for mixers … so CBS have further options to issue to boost the chart place, if needed!

EVELYN THOMAS ‘Cold Shoulder’ (Record Shack SOHOT 60)
Borrowing shamelessly from Instant Funk’s ‘Got My Mind Made Up’ chant, this Ian Levine produced/John Morales mixed infectiously pushing 105bpm piledriver has an irresistible rhythm and soaring vocals designed to drive soul clubs wild (dub flip) – don’t stop, don’t stop, I’ll tell you when! Phew, is this good! (Due fully Jan 20).

VIOLA WILLS ‘Dare To Dream’ (US Wide Angle TTW 8563)
A double-bladed battle-axe of a record, the cutting side in soul clubs being this lovely lazily swaying melodic 96⅔bpm self-penned SOS Band-style drifter which has become an instant smash, while gay jocks have flipped for her tasteful 132½bpm Hi-NRGising of Joni Mitchell’s ‘Both Sides Now‘. Duck, you’ve been warned!

MANTRONIX ‘Ladies’ (LP ‘The Album’ US Sleeping Bag Records TLX-6)
Snorting up the floors in London as the next ‘Alice’, the rapping duos’s similarly buoyant 102bpm new wave hip hop jitterer is joined on a particularly solid set by the initially Midlands-favoured 0-102⅔bpm ‘Bassline‘, their classic 98bpm ‘Needle To The Groove‘, its 97⅓bpm ‘Mega-Mix’, the violent 96bpm ‘Hardcore Hip-Hop‘, more subdued 95bpm ‘Get Stupid “Fresh” Part I‘ and 97⅔bpm ‘Fresh Is The Word‘.

MASQUERADE ‘One Nation (Def Mix)’ (Streetwave MKHAX 59)
Forget Funkadelic, although some of their song does still sneak in, this 112¾bpm total revamp finds local MCs Junior Gee, Lotti G, and Brooklyn’s Westrock rapping to a combination of ‘Set It Off’ and ‘Good Times’ — talk about fresh! — the original 0-119½bpm Clinton rhythm only being heard on the flip’s P.A. Edit of the track you already know.

ROCHELLE ‘My Magic Man’ (Warner Bros W8838T)
Due finally on Monday and already firmly entrenched as the new Lisa Lisa (or ‘Ring My Bell’?), all this horribly jaunty 112¼bpm nagging bright jiggler (in four versions) has to do now is cross over. No sweat.

KEITH SWEAT ‘My Mind Is Made Up’ (US Stadium STA 303)
The unfortunately named gent (not a misprint!) mumbles and moans an M&M mixed sneaky little 107⅓bpm burbling wriggler with naggingly repeated vocal lines and a reedy synth solo, all subdued and the more powerful for it (inst flip).

JAMES BROWN ‘Living In America’ (CBS TA 6701)
Boosted by cheaper Dutch imports but due here imminently, Mr Brown’s Dan Hartman-produced ‘Rocky IV’ funker is in 113¾bpm R&B Dance, possibly tighter 114bpm Soundtrack LP, and 0-113¾bpm instrumental versions, a fine traditionally styled skipping-rope strutter which nevertheless has not been a KO for everyone yet.

BILLY OCEAN ‘When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going’ (US JD1-9431)
Too hot to hold until UK release later this month despite an obviously ineffective import “ban”, Billy’s tautly striding (0-)122bpm roller from ‘The Jewel Of The Nile’ has that Change ‘Searching’ rhythm powering a sparse lean production with crossover sax ‘n guitar, in four mixes.

PAUL SCOTT ‘Off The Wall’ (US Ace Beat AS 91113)
Originally a filler on someone else’s 12in, this excellent bass bubbled jittery bounder remains in its original 118¼bpm instrumental Ace Mix and is now also revamped into a more obviously Colonel Abrams-ish long 117¾bpm Radio Version with subduedly mixed and digitally delayed vocal, a very sparse 0-118bpm Blazing Dub Mix, and James Brown scream started acappella.

FARLEY JACKMASTER FUNK ‘Funkin With The Drums Again’ (US Trax TX 106)
More a mini-LP than a 12in, this features three different 119bpm versions of a percussively pushing full bodied interestingly varied frisky instrumental titled variously ‘Jack’n The House’, ‘Jack’n The Trax‘, ‘Clap’n The Pella‘, flipped by the more skittery 120bpm instrumental ‘Farley Knows House‘ and its title line-scratched ‘Farley Farley’ version, plus the more sombre vocally scratched 113bpm ‘Oh My God‘.

ROY AYERS ‘Hot’ (US Columbia 44-05330)
His album’s tightly chugging infectious 114⅔bpm Prince-ish funk groove slightly remixed (evidently not enough to tempt many LP owners so far though), with an even tighter more claustrophobic Dub Remix flip.

ALISHA ‘Baby Talk’ (Total Control 12TOCO 6)
Due on Monday, this Mark Berry produced (0-)114⅓bpm revival of Greg Brown’s song is obviously a runaway US smash because of its startling similarity to Madonna, which could here help make it profitable for Steve Walsh’s label too!

REGINA ‘Baby Love’ (US West 78th Street Records Inc. WEST 78/12)
Here’s another 115¼bpm Madonna clone, less forceful than the similarly titled Alisha, although actually produced by Steve Bray of ‘Into The Groove’ —with David Sanborn on sax (dub/edit flip).

THE FLIRTS ‘You And Me’ (Epic TA 6760)
And now producer Bobby O gives these previously Hi-NRG girls a 113¼bpm Madonna groove too (inst/dub flip). Can Britain stand any more?

BETTY WRIGHT ‘Pain’ (US First String Records D-252)
A dynamite downtempo 84½bpm attractive soul soaked gentle low key but biting domestic commentary in interestingly mature subdued vocal style (she breaks into a rap for the ladies on one side’s version), not to be missed by more thoughtful soul fans.

DAVID SEA ‘Angel Pt 1′ (Move Into Soul Part 2’ EP Move Records MIS 2, via Charly)
Unearthed by discerning jocks off a hard to find various artists 6-track 45rpm 12in EP of southern soul — some gritty, some mellow — this romantically, achingly, huskily crooned Walter Jackson-ish 108-108⅔-109½-108⅓bpm swayer is just right for lovers dancing in the dark (Pt 2 follows).

SPENCER JONES ‘How To Win Your Love’ (Dutch Injection 234.715)
Already promoed here by Champion (Champion CHAMP 1210), this undemandingly pleasant tick-tocking 116½bpm bland bubbler borrows from the likes of Five Star, Cool Notes, Michael Jackson, and seems likely to have teen hit appeal (inst flip).

FIVE STAR ‘System Addict’ (Tent PT 40516)
Less than incisive lightweight 0-126bpm lolloper remixed by John Morales (dub too), not an obvious dancer, flipped as usual by a tougher instrumental, the juddering 114bpm ‘Pure Energy‘, and — the sharpest cut on offer — a newly extended version of Steve Harvey’s 117¼bpm ‘Winning’.

FRANKIE JOHNSON JNR ‘Whenever You Call Me’ (Fantasia Records FTAX 107)
Causing a slight stir on white label from a company previously associated with Hi-NRG, this is quite an impressive rumbling (55-)110pm soulfully surging swayer with an interestingly jangly keyboards sound (inst flip), a bit of a grower.

REACTION ‘My Downtown Lady’ (US Strawberry Records Unltd. SRU-72310)
The dry electronic percussion and bass 115bpm beat puts this into a Lisa Lisa-ish framework for mixers while the soulful male singer adds understated subtlety in sorta Leroy Burgess style (inst too), flipped by three versions of the less good 123⅓bpm ‘Hunter’.

TULULAH MOON ‘If You Want Love’ (US Beauty and The Beat BAB 104)
Duke Bootee may be behind it but this is far from hip hop, a joltingly wriggled 105½bpm weaving tapper sweetly wailed in slightly “London” style (by a girl who looks to be all lady yet oddly appears to have a hairy chest – unless that’s a badly printed shadow!), with edit and instrumental flip.

THE CONWAY BROTHERS ‘Raise The Roof’ (10 Records TEN 83-12)
Jauntily burbling disjointed 120¼bpm funker (edit too) over-similar to the far better ‘Turn It Up’, of which yet another 118bpm London Mix is flip.

LW5 ‘Get To Know You’ LP (Virgin V2363)
Patchy lacklustre set surprisingly under-produced by Paul Hardcastle – apart rather embarrassingly from the only tune to get much attention, the raggedy soulful episodically spurting wriggling 0-110¼bpm title track (evidently due on 12in), which Peter Hammond produced.
