April 26, 1986: The S.O.S. Band, Modern-nique featuring Larry Woo, Dhar Braxton, Marvin Gaye, TKA

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

JOHN MORALES is remixing Candi Staton ‘Young Hearts Run Free’, for re-release … Cashflow will have two separate 12 inch versions, due on white label now, ‘Mine All Mine (LP Version)‘/’Party Freak (Latin Rascal Edit)‘ plus a four-tracker with two different rather less Fatback-like Mark Berry remixes, his dub, and ‘Party Freak’ again … Chris Paul’s finished ‘Expansions 86‘ features a surprise guest vocalist, David Joseph! … Princess’s three-track remix is due Monday with Pete Waterman’s Funky Sisters Dub Mix as A-side, Cheese ‘n’ Chad’s techno-hop cut-ups as flip … City Beat picked up Crown Heights Affair for a Les Adams remix (with stronger intro) … Froggy is starting his own Master Disk label through Streetwave, releases to include a Decade Remix of Crystal Grass ‘Crystal World’, Kreamcycle ‘No News, Good News’, Dr Jeckyll & Mr Hyde ‘Fast Life’/’The Challenge’ – wot, no Intruders? … Portsmouth’s plucky little Domino Records label is reissuing Hamilton Bohannon ‘Let’s Start II Dance Again’ (DOM 3T, via Charly) … Kelly Marie’s love-hate Hi-NRG 1980 pop chart-topper ‘Feels Like I’m In Love’ has been remixed by Vince DeGiorgio for his Canadian Power label … Anita Baker ‘Rapture’ LP (Elektra 960 444-1) is now out here, as is the intelligent Bognor-aimed Kleeer ‘Kleeer Winners — The Best Of Kleeer‘ (Atlantic WX 42) … Choice Reunion’s review last week should read 86-0bpm … Guinn ‘Open Your Door’ is on 12 inch here May 12, just ahead of their album … Oliver Cheatham’s London-recorded new Champion LP will include a ‘Get Down Saturday Night Part 2′ … Chicago’s hot DJ International Records signed Loleatta Holloway … Kleeer, now they’ve actually been dropped by Atlantic, want to sign direct to a UK label for the world as they appreciate that (like so many US black acts) their profile is higher in Europe than at home … Adrian Allen, previously the Sex Dwarf at South Shields’ Chelsea Cat but now Teeside’s Soul Brother Numero Uno, starts his own weekly 7-10bpm black music show from next Wednesday (30) on Radio Tees – well done! … Pete Tong has created a stir featuring Dusty Springfield’s soulful old ‘Just A Little Lovin’‘ on his Sunday evening Invicta Radio show … Bognor’s oldies (especially Marvin Gaye) obviously had most impact but, although no “chart” as such was compiled, it seems tough newies included Aurra, George Clinton, Serious Intention, J M Silk, Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley, Fingers Inc, Private Possession, Dhar Braxton, Nu Shooz, Russ Brown, Mantronix ‘Ladies’, Joeski Love, Cut Master DC, Macattack, Joyce Sims, Aleem, Modern-nique, Alexander O’Neal ‘What’s Missing’, Janet Jackson ‘When I Think Of You’, Cashflow ‘Mine All Mine’, Thomas & Taylor, Michael Jeffries, Chris Paul (off acetate) … Atlantic Starr’s Bognor biggie was in fact their old ‘Silver Shadow‘ … Chris Hill feared it was an ill omen when the record he’d planned as the finale anthem, the Supremes & Four Tops ‘Reach Out And Touch (Somebody’s Hand)‘ (rather than Diana Ross’s), snapped in two as he took it off the turntable on the very first night, but luckily Colin Hudd had a copy as well so Sunday’s finale featured that, then Vera Lynn ‘We’ll Meet Again’ and Detroit Spinners ‘I’ll Be Around’ – all the DJs, having held hands, then sloping off stage only to reappear (running around behind scenes) from the other side over and over again! … Colin Curtis, soldiering on despite being taken ill just before one of his sets, reckons the North will be even better represented at October’s Bognor now that word’s got back … “Bugger Bognor”, the famous last words of George V (the king who put the Regis into Bognor by his patronage of the place), could make a suitable slogan for Showstopper Promotions T-shirts after their latest mafia-lacking Caister! … Saturday (26) Nicky Holloway has another Do At The Zoo (Regents Park) with Martin ‘Caister’ Collins, Pete Tong, Chris Brown, Gilles Peterson, Chris Bangs … Andrew Holmes funks Manchester’s International Club (Anson/Dickenson Roads) next Wednesday (30), then weekly from May 21 … Thursday (1) the Cool Notes play live with Take Five and guest PAs plus Simon Goffe at the Woolwich Coronet … Belfast’s new Soul In The City moveable venue club holds once monthly soul-funk-jazz nights for around 100 fans so far, contact Steven Brodie at 3 Rochester Drive, Cregagh, for news of the next one … Peter C Helyer wants more presenters to join him on Cardiff’s in-store Radio Top Shop – send tapes and details to him at 8 Petrel Close, Lavernock Park, Penarth CF6 2U (the only pay is from selling commercial airtime for the station) … Hardcore Groove Masters, a five strong Mastermind-style mixing/classic funk DJ team just back from a winter in Holland’s clubs, wants North London gigs (Ilford-Acton) on 01-597 6572 (ask for Robin) … UK mixing runner-up Jon Davis’s fame has become such that at a Cornish wedding the best man asked for a demonstration as all the guests had read about him, and even the grannies got bopping to his scratched up ‘Set It Off! … Mildred Scott, glamorous young looking veteran since 1967 of The Glories, Quiet Elegance and Cut Glass, is called Mildred at home but happily answers to Millie too! … Q-Pid Featuring Nikki Q was actually cut a year ago … May Bank Holiday deadlines loom, and although it never makes much difference when we ask DJs this, PLEASE post your chart returns NOW to arrive by Tuesday! … RELEASE THE TENSION!

HOT VINYL

The S.O.S. BAND ‘Sands Of Time’ LP (Tabu TBU 26863)
Not actually out here until May 6, but already white labelled and about on import, this is so predictable it’s almost a self-parody of Jam & Lewis’s past productions! You’ll know exactly what to expect of the 101¼-0bpm ‘Borrowed Love‘ (‘Change Of Heart’ for instance), 98½bpm ‘Even When You Sleep‘, 86⅔-0bpm title track, 104⅓bpm ‘Nothing But The Best‘, (0-)110¼bpm ‘The Finest‘, 105½bpm Two Time Lover‘, 0-87⅔-0bpm ‘Do You Still Want To?‘ Even the Princely pumping 123½bpm ‘No Lies‘ is good, though. You know what you like, you like what you know.

MODERN-NIQUE featuring Larry Woo ‘Love’s Gonna Get You (Watch Out Baby For Love)’ (10 Re-cords TEN T 123)
Steve Arrington’s rhythm bubbles through an excellent very current sounding soul vocal for a madly infectious here 116¾bpm romp (in four mixes) that’s hot on import and sure to smash. Why do so many DJ’s spell ’em as Monique?

DHAR BRAXTON ‘Jump Back (Set Me Free)’ (US Sleeping Bag Records SLX-00019)
Snapped up already by 4th + B’way here, this is like a female Russ Brown but breezier and brighter, a more soulful Lisa Lisa/Rochelle/Shannon, jammed through an emulator and bounced all over a leaping light 115¼bpm electro beat with bounding bass (in five versions). Brill!

MARVIN GAYE ‘I Heard It Through The Grapevine’ (Motown ZT 40702)
Never exactly unavailable, this instant chart re-entry proves conclusively that Britain’s mass public has to SEE music on TV to be motivated into buying it. What happened to ears? Anyway, on 12 inch the 115¼-118½-118¾bpm classic joins the similarly Norman Whitfield produced 54/108-109⅓-110⅓-112-110⅓bpm ‘That’s The Way Love Is’ and seminal 168bpm ‘Can I Get A Witness’, 171bpm ‘You’re A Wonderful One’ Holland-Dozier-Holland stompers.

TKA ‘One Way Love’ (US Tommy Boy TB 866)
Total Knowledge in Action, four Latinos from Spanish Harlem, follow in Lisa Lisa’s footsteps on another bright little 117¼bpm hip hop pop lurcher, co-prod/mixed by the Latin Rascals (two dubs).

SHALAMAR ‘A Night To Remember (The M&M Mix)’ (MCA Records SHALT 3)
John Morales’ typically percussive though still brightly rolling (0-)109bpm remix oddly has a dreadful rhythm-losing edit, half a beat out, before the vocals begin (inst, and original 90½bpm ‘Sweeter As The Days Go By’ flip).

JAMES BROWN ‘Soul Power’ (Boiling Point POSPX 783)
Four-tracker with this classic 1971 funk (veering fractionally through 105¾ -105-104⅔ etc), the sinuous short 100⅓-102⅓bpm ‘Don’t Tell It‘, sinister 50bpm ‘King Heroin‘ and original unissued 0-67-69bpm demo of ‘It’s A Man’s World‘ (which he played to me in August 1964!).

STEVE ‘SILK’ HURLEY ‘Jack Your Body’ (US Underground UN-101)
Steve, who I’ve met, is actually J M Silk himself (and white, photos showing his black vocalists), his appearance now on a label other than DJ International Records being a mystery, especially as the repeated name “J M Silk” is the only lyric over the typical 122bpm garage groove of ‘Jack Your Body — Home Made’. In ‘Jack Trax’ style there are four variants on this groove, the 125¾bpm ‘Steve “Silk” Hurley‘ repeating that name, while (with ‘Set It Off’ pshta pshta beats) the 122bpm ‘Club Your Body’ and 121¾bpm ‘Dub Your Body‘ merely repeat the overall ‘Jack Your Body’ title. Another mystery, considering the current popularity of this Colonel Abrams derived sound, is why his similar ‘Music Is The Key’ first US disco smash never did anything here last autumn.

LOVEBUG STARSKI ‘Amityville (The House On The Hill)’ (LP ‘House Rocker’ Epic EPC 26878)
Co-prod/penned by Kurtis Blow in bouncy 88bpm go go hip hop style and already huge with B Boys, this horror movie impersonations-filled rapping update of ‘Monster Mash’/’Dinner With Drac’ screams out to be a single here, and surefire smash. Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?

JANICE ‘Bye-Bye’ (US 4th + B’way BWAY-424)
“Kate Bush meets Shannon”, says Chris Hill, boosting this maddening monotonous jaunty 113½bpm teen nagger, full of gibberish emulator hooks and silly little breaks between brief Bush-like bursts (in five versions). Massive if kids get to hear it, almost another Whistle.

MICHAEL JEFFRIES ‘Razzle Dazzle’ (US Warner Bros 0-20450)
From Goldie Hawn s new American Football movie ‘Wild Cats’, and big at Bognor, this Hawk Wolinski co-prod/penned jittery jiggly (0-)110⅔bpm wriggler has some of that ‘Plane Love’ doom-laden drive but is much bubblier (inst Dub Version too).

LEVEL 3 ‘Central Line’ (US Fleetwood Records FW 005)
Timmy Regisford & Boyd Jarvis are fast becoming famous as remixers, writers and producers, here wearing all three hats in various combinations for — guess what? — another Colonel Abrams-ish 119⅕bpm garage groove, a good one (less vocal flip).

BEASTIE BOYS ‘Hold It, Now Hit It’ (US Def Jam 44-05369)
The white punk rappers get genuinely hip hop as they plug White Castle budget burgers and generally gangster rock over scratched 95⅓bpm cuts from several famous break beats (in three versions).

LEVEL 42 ‘Lessons In Love’ (Polydor POSPX 790)
Another bass thrummed lurching 0-113bpm pop chugger, reviewed here because its flip includes the Wally Badarou dominated exciting 0-114bpm electro-samba skittering ‘World Machine’, long their LP’s hottest dance cut.

KATRINA AND THE WAVES ‘Is That It?’ (Capitol 12CL398)
Steeped in the brassy mid-Sixties Stax sound, this beefily chugging 114½-0bpm R&B pastiche may be by some popsters but it’s darned good, and I love it!

THE MAIN ATTRACTION ‘Reconsider’ (US RCA Victor PW-14322)
“Even the President can make mistakes”, prophetically sing the guys amidst Jacksonesque yelps and hard driving (0-)106⅓bpm beats reminiscent of The System’s ‘You Are In My System’, with a dubby Dance Mix and sub-Prince 130bpm ‘Private Spot‘ flip.

SWEET “G” ‘Waiting For Your Love’ (US The Fever SF 803)
Prod/co-penned by Juicy, mixed by Grandmaster Flash, this quite nagging juddery 97½bpm swayer follows the Kurtis Blow format being a soulful rap with sung choruses, and scatting fade (inst flip).

THE TEMPTATIONS ‘A Fine Mess’ (US Motown 1837MF)
Very pleasant soulfully jogging 96bpm title song from a new Ted ‘Cheers’ Danson movie, flipped on seven inch by SMOKEY ROBINSON’s 116½bpm ‘Wishful Thinking‘.
