April 12, 1986: George Clinton, Jaki Graham, The Force MD’s, Joyce Sims, Tease

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

‘SOLID SOUL’, the newly independent successor to ‘Soul Train’, hits Channel 4 this Friday at 6.30pm (only half an hour long now) with singer Julie Roberts and club jock Chris Forbes as presenters, Serious Intention, Millie Scott and Joyce Sims being likely amongst the guests … I’m sorry to see after just 19 issues the abrupt demise of dance music mag The Street Scene, which had some enthusiastic writers on its staff … Pinnacle’s dance music manager Mark Arthurworrey has remixed with added sax and percussion an extended 95bpm 12in of William Bell ‘Headline News’, out fully on Absolute Records next week although white labelled now … Viola Wills’ 97bpm Diva Mix turns out to be instrumental with Mary Jane Girls-type bass … Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald’s smash-bound smoochy ‘On My Own’ will be out here within a fortnight … Nu Shooz topped US Club Play in Billboard and is likewise scheduled here … ’48 HRS’ being shown on TV was a massive plug for the featured Busboys — always described as playing rock they turned out to be black rock ‘n’ rollers (a big difference), reminiscent of the Rivingtons to these ears, their ‘The Boys Are Back In Town‘ possibly being worth belated issue by Arista here … George Clinton, doubtless encouraged by response to the animated element of his ‘Atomic Dog’ video, has been collaborating with Thomas Dolby on the music for a George Lucas-produced cartoon called ‘Howard The Duck’ … Kashif’s discovery Johnny Kemp turns out to be from the Bahamas, which may make his “London” sound less surprising … Joyce Sims is due here for PAs, hopefully taking in this week’s big Bognor bash … System X should keep their subscribers better informed if they really want to rival the Disco Mix Club … I can appreciate while listening to the cassette of the six best Technics World DJ Mixing finalists why DJ Cheese’s winning mix may seem like a swizz to those who didn’t see him do it live, as its visual and physical intricacy is not conveyed by the resulting sound alone (that boy was busy!): remember that stage presence and audience response were just as important as the mixers’ ability and imagination to the judges’ final score, so things which now sound slick on tape were not necessarily that exciting live … 1984’s winning mix by Sanny X was likewise far more excitingly dynamic live than on tape … South Harrow one man band Chris Paul, whose ‘Expansions 86‘ should soon be white labelled, wants to be another Jeff Lorber rather than Paul Hardcastle! … RELEASE THE TENSION!

HOT VINYL

GEORGE CLINTON ‘Do Fries Go With That Shake’ (Capitol 12CL 402)
Shaping up as another ‘Let It All Blow’ or even ‘Rockit’, this marathon mesmeric 112⅔bpm funk groove has bursts of chant and blistering Tom Browne-type trumpet, its piledriving dancefloor punch not stopping enthusiastic radio play either. A biggie!

JAKI GRAHAM ‘Set Me Free’ (EMI 12JAKI 7)
Roaring and storming, her exuberant 0-104bpm jittery lurcher is like a denser Skipworth & Turner as it pushes and stomps along, only the repetitively rolling song structure maybe being short of inspiration.

THE FORCE MD’S ‘Tender Love’ (Tommy Boy/Island 12ISX 269)
WEA belatedly barred ‘Force MD’s Meet The Fat Boys‘ from being a limited edition flip to this Richie-esque dead slow 0-35-0bpm radio ballad (prod/penned by Jam & Lewis), ever so tender and here in two lengths with the ‘Groovin’’-like 106bpm ‘Chillin’‘ as couplin’ instead.

JOYCE SIMS ‘(You Are My) All And All’ (London LONX 94)
Mantronik’s new remix will now be added later to UK pressings of this nagging squeakily wailed (0-)109¼bpm electro-soul jitterer, for the time being here still in its original four mixes, like a more subtle Rochelle.

TEASE ‘Firestarter’ (Epic EPC TA 7084)
As suspected, the husky soulsters’ haunting piano accented groin grinding 95⅓bpm swayer has proved a real nagger on import, steadily creeping up trouser legs!

T.C. CURTIS ‘Let’s Make Love’ (Hot Melt 12 TC005, via PRT)
Good breathily sung infectiously fluid 117¼bpm canterer somewhat like a looser less emphatic Colonel Abrams (inst flip).

TAVARES ‘It Only Takes A Minute (Remix)’ (Capitol 12TAV 2)
Specially remixed as UK follow-up by Ben Liebrand, their 122-121¾-123¼-122⅔-121⅔ (break)-122¾bpm galloper originally was huge in 1976 on import but beaten in the pop chart by Jonathan King’s One Hundred Ton And A Feather cover version (they retaliated by having a bigger hit at the very same time with ‘Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel’!). Instrumental revamp, and Ben’s older 107⅓bpm ‘More Than A Woman’ remix make the flip.

SYLVIA SMITH ‘Don’t Wanna Be A Sometime Lover’ (US Qwest 0-20418)
Craftily combining several familiar favourite soul elements (in four mixes), this satisfying subdued 114½bpm wriggly weaver will mean most to the already converted, who’ll love it.

THE TEMPTATIONS ‘I’m Fascinated’ (Motown ZT 40622)
Classy ethereal Sam Cooke-ish 102½bpm swayer very like ‘Nightshift’, flipped by M&M’s 113¼bpm Club Mix of ‘Treat Her Like A Lady’, yet again.

FIVE STAR ‘Can’t Wait Another Minute’ (Tent PT40698)
Fresh product at last, not from their milked dry album, this Richard James Burgess-produced jerky 53¼/106½-106⅔bpm fractured lurcher with Billy Ocean-ish rock guitar seems too laboured to win any new fans. The seven inch hangs together better, actually.

BOOKER NEWBERRY ‘Take A Piece Of Me’ (US Omni 0-96820)
Philly veterans Len Barry and John Madara helped write this rich voiced sneaky swaying (0-)104bpm soul jogger in four mixes) with some ‘All Night Long (All Night)’ exoticism in its choral support and meandering percussion.

DANTÉ ‘Freak In Me’ (Bluebird/10 BRT 21)
Only three months overdue here, America’s Dennis Sanders — rather than our own Steven Danté — soulfully nags through his weaving beat-bumping 107⅙bpm wriggler (edit, and timeless 72½bpm ‘One More Time’ flip).

52nd STREET ‘Children Of The Night’ LP (10 Records DIX 25)
Loose Ends meet the SOS Band with Sade-ish sophistication too on a Nick Martinelli-produced consistent set, most interesting newies being the moody cool 97-0bpm title track, 101½bpm ‘Never Give Up On You‘, 109bpm ‘I’m Available‘, 102½bpm ‘Smiling Eyes‘, while the 116½bpm ‘Abandon Love’, 111bpm ‘Let’s Celebrate’, 133bpm ‘Look I’ve Heard’ join their hit 102½bpm ‘I Can’t Let You Go’, 105¾bpm ‘Tell Me (How It Feels)’, 0-111¾bpm ‘You’re My Last Chance’.

SADE ‘Never As Good As The First Time (Remix)’ (Epic TA 7061)
After ‘Maureen‘ her current album’s other dance track, this breathy jittery jerky 0-107½bpm burbler has been remixed but never rises above being merely pleasant.

J.M. SILK ‘Shadows Of Your Love’ (US DJ International Records DJ-777)
Rapidly creating a new “Chicago Sound”, this label can be called both opportunistic and influential as it once again assembles another rambling garage groove from elements of Colonel Abrams, Serious Intention and ‘Set It Off’ (in 119¼bpm House, 119½bpm Fierce/Original/Beats Mixes).

THE JAMAICA GIRLS ‘On The Move’ (US Sire 0-20444)
Endearingly dated looking and sounding, the girls’ speedy little (0-)121½bpm jitterer has inconsequential wailing over bright beats (inst flip) rather like a female Colonel Abrams.

L.I.F.E. ‘All Played Out’ (Lovebeat International LOVT 4)
Sylvester meets Colonel Abrams on a bright bounding 115bpm throbber that despite hitting gay clubs first should cross over especially to poppier venues too (dub/bonus flip).

FREDDIE JACKSON ‘He’ll Never Love You (Like I Do)’ (Capitol 12CL 387)
Blandly pleasant 116½bpm light bounder, with a new “na na na” girl-introed Maserati Mix on the flip alongside the more grabbing breathily pent-up 106bpm ‘I Wanna Say I Love You‘.

MELI’SA MORGAN ‘Fool’s Paradise’ (LP ‘Do Me Baby’ Capitol EST 2008)
Overdue UK release for a quality set dominated on dancefloors by this excellent thigh brushing 100¼bpm soaring soul slinker, co-penned/played by Lesette Wilson.

STEVE ARRINGTON ‘The Jammin’ National Anthem’ (US Atlantic 0-86822)
‘Star Spangled Banner’-introed juvenile 0-118bpm jiggly jumper (inst flip), disappointing the soul crowd although others may like its bubbly zest.

THE STYLE COUNCIL ‘Have You Ever Had It Blue’ (Polydor CINEX 1)
Although anachronistic in its ‘Absolute Beginners’ context (not a lot of bossa nova about in 1958!), this gently pulsing 0-93⅔/187⅓-93¼/186½-93⅔/187⅓-94/188-94⅔/189⅓bpm jazz samba makes a pleasant soundtrack for early Sixties nostalgia.

PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION ‘Parade’ LP (Paisley Park WX 39)
Strange fragmentary scraps from his next movie ‘Under The Cherry Moon’, less rocky than the last one, most useable probably being the 104bpm ‘Anotherloverholenyohead’, 116½bpm ‘Girls & Boys‘, 101⅔-102⅓bpm ‘Mountains‘, brief 124½bpm ‘New Position‘ — although useable doesn’t necessarily mean floor-filling.

MARVIN HOLMES ‘Feel So Good’ (US MCA Records MCA-23619)
Huskily growled chunkily lurching (0-)101bpm sombre soul roller with repetitive girls (inst flip), nothing new but solid.

THE CONWAY BROTHERS ‘Turn It Up!’ LP (10 Records DIX 22)
On a dated set containing their two similar raucous hits and such really old fashioned fast dancers as the 122½bpm ‘Set It Out‘, it’s their soulful slowies that stand out, the 99½bpm ‘Gonna Refuse Your Love’, 70bpm ‘Over And Over‘, 71-0bpm ‘Together‘. They wail.

HAYWOODE ‘You’d Better Not Fool Around’ (CBS TA 6743)
Sharon’s purposefully tiny voice is almost swamped by the Stock-Aitken-Waterman production on this (0-)109⅔bpm swayer.

EXCEPTION ‘Slap You Back’ (City Beat CBE 1201, via Beggars Banquet/WEA)
Now on Jump Street in the USA, this Euro-tinged ponderous 106bpm ‘Change Of Heart’ chugger did little here two months ago as debut release on its UK label, owned by Tim Palmer of Soho’s Groove Records shop (dub/edit flip).

LOVEBUG STARSKI ‘House Rocker’ (Epic TA 6952)
New York’s jaded hip hoppers are turning in Run-DMC’s wake towards heavy metal rock, the actually unalarming good guitar on this otherwise normal (0-)101-0bpm rap, scratch ‘n’ chant being less offputting than the boring song (dub flip).

CHIP E., INC ‘Jack Trax’ (US DJ International Records DJ-895)
Six very strange minimalist rhythm cuts similar to Farley Jackmaster Funk’s recent six-tracker but even emptier and all (apart from the 116bpm ‘MB Dance‘) within a fraction of 124- 125bpm, the 124¼bpm ‘Time To Jack’ (or 124½bpm ‘It’s House‘?) evidently being big beats for Midlands B Boys.

DAVID GRANT ‘Close To You’ (Chrysalis GRANX 8)
Fairly tedious slow 74 7/8 -0bpm pop spurter with a more soulful mushily shuffling 97⅔bpm ‘Goodbye Love’ flip.

KING DREAM CHORUS & HOLIDAY CREW ‘King Holiday’ (Club JABX 29)
This Band Aid-inspired all-star Martin Luther King tribute, linked to the new US public holiday honouring his January birthday, is a lacklustre 94⅓bpm semi-slowie led by hip hoppers Kurtis Blow, The Fat Boys, Melle Mel, Run-DMC and Whodini, with contrasting lush choruses by El DeBarge, Whitney Houston, Stacy Lattisaw, Lisa Lisa, Teena Marie, Menudo, Stephanie Mills, New Edition and Kool & The Gang’s James ‘JT’ Taylor.
