June 21, 1986: Sleeque, Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk & Jessie Saunders, Janice, Dinosaur L, The Latin Rascals

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

THIS COULD be a long hot sweaty summer if the faster ‘garage’ grooves like Dinosaur L succeed in forcing black dance tempos back up to the 130bpm region . . . StreetSounds have finally launched their Picture Box dance music video series, 12 clip compilations at about £12.50, released bi-monthly in alternation with a Hip Hop video series too, the same label has also started their new Artists Showcase LP series with a good retrospective of The Jones Girls (MUSIC 4), while jazz jock Gilles Peterson has compiled not only ‘Jazz Juice 2‘ (StreetSounds SOUND 4), including Dianne Schuur ‘It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing‘, but also the even more specialist ‘Blue Bossa‘ (Blue Note BNSLP 1, via EMI) . . . The Temptations ‘My Girl’ heads a four-track oldies 12-incher to celebrate their 25th anniversary (Motown ZT 40744) . . . I had no time to mention Loose Ends’ flip, the emphatically wriggling 105¾bpm ‘Gonna Make You Mine‘, now proving hotter for many . . . Froggy & Simon Harris have remixed William Bell ‘Passion’ (and are choked they didn’t get to do the second even bigger Real Thing hit remix!) . . . Theo Loyla’s DJ mailing list Superjocks Hit Squad has amicably divorced itself from the Disco Mix Club so as not to compromise the latter’s impartial dealings with other, rival record promotion companies (Theo, by the way, Level 42 are an excellent pop-rock band, but hardly funk nowadays) . . . US firm Finial Technology later this year launch a $2,500 record playing turntable using a laser beam instead of a stylus (similar to, but incompatible with, the CD system), an instant start/cue professional model for disco and radio use following in 1987 . . . Janet Jackson ‘Nasty’ topped US Black 45s, but Patti LaBelle finally replaced her as top Black LP, while The SOS Band ‘The Finest’ topped 12-inch Sales and Dhar Braxton Club Play, in Billboard . . . US “urban” radio stations appear to be getting much blacker in an effort to show there’s more to R&B than dance music . . . Motown have closed their New York A&R office, presumably putting Sergio Munzibai out of a job (amazingly, the actual office was right above one I used to work in years ago!) . . . Asian immigrants were amongst the earliest audience for electro here, but in the States they’ve been identified (by Dance Music Report’s Hi-NRG correspondent Casey Jones) as chief buyers of Eurobeat, which they call “New Wave”! . . . Fresh Fest III 1986 Mardi Gras Tour, the hip hop package currently touring the US, includes such as Kurtis Blow, Full Force, UTFO, Joeski Love, Whistle, Fat Boys, LA Dream Team, Shabba-Doo, Boogaloo Shrimp and the Jets . . . Aerosmith it is, or rather members Steve Tyler and Joe Perry, who contribute the AoR element to Run-DMC’s ‘Walk This Way‘ . . . July 19 could be chaos at Wembley, what with the UK Fresh ’86 rap fest at the Arena and Frank Bruno fighting in the Stadium — Frank’s “You know what I mean?” comments incidentally turn out to be inserted (very badly) into The Contenders’ dreadful Hi-NRG 130bpm ‘Where’s Harry?‘ (Columbia 12DB 9136) . . . Dave Gregory, in addition to the Essex Radio Soul Night Specials, is setting up his own touring show around the South East with regular gigs at such as West Malling Greenways, Braintree Essex Barn, Basildon Festival Hall, featuring guest jocks and PAs: artists interested in the latter, contact TAC Promotions on 0702-347237 . . . Friday (20) Rapattack join ‘underground’ groover Rob Day and upstairs soulster Bob Jones at their weekly New Cross Harp Club Big TV night . . . Disco Gary & Steve Goddard’s Friday Funk-Shun at Maidstone Harveys skips July 4 but is otherwise regular now . . . Mad Max & Perry Daniels start funking Catford Panthers this Saturday (21) with guest Greg Edwards . . . Monday (23) Neil Fincham celebrates Edinburgh Styx’s first birthday with a 12 hour 9pm-9am (licensed) formal black tie party for all the club’s regulars . . . Andy Baker is cock-a-hoop that his venue at Rhyl’s The Downtown is the first on the North Wales coast to get a 2am licence (he also got married!) . . . Swansea soul supporter James Lewis adds commercial Mondays at Harry’s Dance Bar, and Wednesdays at Cwmbran’s Ripples (the only club in town) . . . I’m afraid the weather’s too warm for Hit Numbers . . . SORRY, WRONG BEAT!

CHRIS PAUL’s ‘Expansions ’86 (Expand Your Mind)’ has been much expanded by the Brothers Fearon in a more percussive 0-113¾-113½-113¾-0bpm remix, which is not necessarily an improvement. Shrink-wrapped as a white label with the original 12-inch over this last weekend, it’s now out in its own right with the original tracks as flip (Fourth & Broadway 12BRWX 48). Incidentally, is this the first pic to be published of Chris? I had to take it myself!

---

HOT VINYL

SLEEQUE: ‘One For The Money’ (Malaco Dance Records MAL 12-33)
The Jon Williams-renamed and designed label kicks off with my current fave, an infectiously skittering breezy (0-)114-0bpm spacious wriggler with lovely piano and a catchy lilt (in three Paul Simpson mixes). Go man go!

FARLEY ‘JACKMASTER’ FUNK & JESSIE SAUNDERS: ‘Love Can’t Turn Around’ (US House Records FU-10)
More “jack trax” from another of Chicago’s “house” masters, this dynamically spurting express train tempoed 122bpm “garage” groove (in three mixes) is so terrifically exciting it deserves to spread this new true disco style’s following to more than just the trendier clubs. Oddly, the really raving ‘Dub Can’t Turn Around’ is much more vocal than the labelled Club Mix. Try it!

JANICE: ‘Bye-Bye’ (Fourth & Broadway 12BRW 49)
Nu Shooz look out, here comes the next emulator hook-filled maddeningly catchy gimmick hit. Surprisingly only supported on import by the UK’s leading soul jocks, this is greasy kids stuff personified, a silly 113½bpm electro leaper with crazy breaks and Kate Bush-type vocal bursts (here edited in four versions).

DINOSAUR L: ‘Go Bang!’ (CityBeat CBE 1205, via WEA)
‘Southern Freeez’ meets ‘Set It Off’, this fascinating frantic episodic 0-131½-131-130½-130-129½-127½-130-0bpm proto-“garage” rarity from 1982 bounds through a schlurping hi-hat beat that everyone now will recognise, even if not normally at so fast a speed. Wild enough to have wide appeal.

THE LATIN RASCALS: ‘Bach To The Future’ (US Sutra SUD 047)
Johann Sebastian Bach’s ‘Toccata and Fugue in D Minor’ kicks off as organ music before the inevitable juddery 98½bpm electro beat kicks in, to make quite an intelligent, haunting, likely hit. Their own straightforward instrumental 0-100-0bpm ‘Beyond The Future‘ is flip.

FULL FORCE: ‘Temporary Love Thing’ (US Columbia 44-05912)
Soulful listening, this adventurous drifter loosely weaves wailing soul vocal interplay through a monotonously tugging 97bpm undertow but is so amorphous it doesn’t quite cut through as a proper song. However, the flip has Bow-Legged Lou’s overlaid mildly amusing full dialogue ‘Temporary Bow-Legged Theatre (What Am I Gonna Do!)‘ — sorta “the trouble with girls and how to get into it”, with a cast of 20 plus sound effects — and an acappella started dubby vocal ‘Only Temporary’.

SPYDER-D (FEATURING D.J. DOC): ‘I Can’t Wait (To Rock The Mike)’ (Champion CHAMP 12-14)
Excellent in its own right and nicely timed here for full impact, this tough 103½-0bpm rap ‘n scratch is indeed Nu Shooz’s hip hop cover (inst flip). Mixers, go to it!

RANDY CRAWFORD: ‘Abstract Emotions’ LP (Warner Bros WX 46)
Although a long established superstar here, she’s yet to break big Stateside despite recording now for 10 years on Warner Bros — who thankfully this time have let her do what she does best without crossover compromises on a welcome Reggie Lucas-produced set. Pleasant throughout, its most soulful dancers are the typically jogging 99bpm ‘Betcha’, distinctive 102¾bpm ‘Can’t Stand The Pain‘, and Hawk Wolinksi’s buoyant 101¼bpm ‘Don’t Wanna Be Normal‘ (from the ‘WildCats’ soundtrack LP). Lighter weight are the 114½bpm ‘Gettin’ Away With Murder‘, 111¾bpm ‘Desire‘, 96¾bpm ‘World Of Fools‘, 124¼bpm ‘Overnight‘.

GWEN GUTHRIE: ‘Ain’t Nothin’ Goin’ On But The Rent’ (US Polydor 885 106-1)
Lookin’ for a man with money (“no romance without finance” — well a girl’s got bills to pay!), Gwen belatedly follows her ‘Padlock’ US club smash with a similarly aimed gritty though understated burbling jiggly roller given two 107¼bpm mixes by Larry Levan and two cooler 107½bpm remixes by Mark Berry, plus the slow 74bpm ‘Passion Eyes’. Five cuts in all, like Hanson & Davis. A trend?

MAXI PRIEST: ‘In The Springtime’ (10 Records TENT 127)
In a well wicked extended remix, Maxi wants to be as free as the birds up in the tree on his catchy 86¾-87½-86¾bpm Marley-esque bubbler. Tweet tweet, twiddly diddly tweet!

SIR MIX-A-LOT: ‘Square Dance Rap’ (Streetwave MKHAN 69, via RCA)
Malcolm McLaren of course first set a square dance to the hip hop rhythm in 1982, but his voice wasn’t speeded up Chipmunk style, as here on a supremely silly 0-118¼-0bpm gimmicky hoedown (in four mixes). Played at 33 1/3rpm, the UK pressing usefully becomes 87½bpm, a tad too slow maybe, but the ‘Amityville’ tempo.

MASQUERADE: ‘(Solution To) The Problem (The DEFinitive Dance Mix)’ (Streetwave MKHAN 67)
Now it’s fully released, this youthful song of hope has a far stronger totally different 115¾bpm AA-side remix by Mike Allen & Sonic Graffiti, minus the actual song but plus Reagan and Thatcher cut in over the beat and chorus. Hot!

CHUCK BROWN: ‘Be-Bumpin-Fresh’ (US Future Records & Tapes F 0008)
Not at first as intriguing as his ‘Go-Go Swing’ but proving to be a grower, this more blatantly go go (0-)104½-104¾-0bpm bumbler still has a relaxed swing with jazzy touches and scatting amidst the chants and squiggles (inst flip).

T.C. CURTIS: ‘Step By Step’ (Hot Melt 12TC006)
His spine tingling ululating yelps are the high points of this otherwise even levelled gentle 99¾bpm slinkily rolling throbber, more a soulfully pent-up mood than a song, flipped by a zippy 119bpm ‘Dance To The Beat (Remix)’.

KRYSTOL: ‘Passion From A Woman’ (US Epic 49-05390)
The girls look and sound quite alluring, slotting staccato style into the at times over-busy synth backing of this lightweight 0-112½-0bpm lurching backbeat chugger (in four mixes).

TROUBLE FUNK: ‘Good To Go’ (US Island/TTED 0-96819)
The title tune from Island’s now nearly ready to go go movie, this rambling 109-108¾-109¾-109¼-109¾-110¼bpm jittery chant (inst flip) shows why, as warned, the real authentic DC sound has remained primarily a local phenomenon whereas New York’s sharper hip hop fusionists keep hitting internationally using the same beat — it ain’t a song, or a coherent anything. There’d better be a really tight seven inch edit, or at least a syrupy love song from the film, to give US radio something pluggable to encourage boffo box office!

BERNARD WRIGHT: ‘After You’ (Manhattan 12MT9)
Belatedly issued bouncily pushing tight 107¾bpm wriggly jiggler, flipped by its instrumental and the harder more electro jittery 107bpm ‘Yo Nard (Remix)’.

ANITA BAKER: ‘Sweet Love’ (Elektra EKR 44T)
Cleo Laine-ish introspective 87-90bpm meanderer, less than ideal as a UK launch pad although good in itself, flipped by the similarly convoluted 90bpm ‘No One In The World‘ and scampering 126bpm ‘Watch Your Step (The Midnight Mix)‘. Get the album instead.

JEFFREY OSBORNE: ‘Emotional’ LP (A&M AMA 5103)
A disappointment overall with best soul bets being the obviously Afro-flavoured bounding 115½bpm ‘Soweto’ and swaying 92bpm ‘We Belong To Love‘, the single 89bpm ‘You Should Be Mine‘ having been passed by. The 63¼bpm ‘Come Midnight’ is tougher slush than the drippy George Benson reviving 0-31¾-63½-0bpm ‘In Your Eyes’, duetted 30¾bpm ‘Who Would Have Guessed’, yukky 33¼-0bpm ‘A Second Chance’, faster bland pop dancers being the 113¼bpm ‘Room With A View’, 117¾bpm title track, 241¼bpm (sic) ‘Love’s Not Ready‘.

ET (EDDIE TOWNS): ‘Candy’ (LP ‘Best Friends’ US Total Experience TEL 6-5717)
Several trendy jocks are boosting this 124½bpm Prince-ish frisky mutterer (actually it’s more Sheila E’s ‘The Glamorous Life’ beat), while less frantic are the delicately wriggly 117¼bpm title track single, sinuously anguished 78½bpm ‘Never Is Forever’, tentative 100bpm ‘Magic In The Air‘, Junior-esque 113¾bpm ‘Don’t Make Me Wait‘.
