August 9, 1986: New Music Seminar scratching competition, Janet Jackson, Mel & Kim, Zuice, Tricky Tee

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

Import albums last week included Gwen Guthrie, Kenny G and Glenn Jones, so check the Disco Chart for BPMs if they hit – incidentally, Kenny G’s single review should have read “more ponderous than the (Jr Walker) original but with obvious nostalgia appeal” … London picked up The Incredible Mr Freeze, which apparently was recorded several years ago (like it sounds) … DJs can now get the percussively exciting old T-Connection ‘Do What You Wanna Do’ (US Sunnyview Classics SUN 33306) on 12 inch again as an import – but how about a UK re-release? … Henry Stone is restarting another TK-type label in Florida with new Canadian partner Paul Kline, called Achievement Records … Timex Social Club, with ‘Rumors’ have started a ‘Roxanne’ sized spate of US answer versions, led by Bobby Jimmy & The Critters ‘Roaches’ (US Macola) … Bananarama ‘Venus’ topped US 12 inch sales, Jean Carne ‘Closer Than Close’ Black 45s in Billboard …. Fatback, who will be headlining live act at October’s Barry Island ‘Bognor’ weekend, have recorded ‘Spanish Harlem’ featuring its originator’s son Ben E. King Jr, due on import soon and in fact looking for a UK deal … Michael McDonald’s seven inch hit ‘I Keep Forgettin’’ now sounds a lot different from its original 1962 version by Chuck Jackson … George Benson’s pleasant enough 88bpm ‘Kisses In The Moonlight’ (Warner Bros W8640) has been delayed on 12 inch here so that an extended ‘Breezin’’ can be added to the oldies flip … Disco Gary Van Den Bussche doubtless joins others wondering where to find the recently mentioned great acappella version of Lulu’s ‘Shout’ remake – it’s on the Jive seven inch only, a three-tracker which I received ahead of the 12 inch and presumed was the same … James Brown’s mysterious track which turned up by mistake on the Beat Freaks’ B-side apparently was the only recorded result of a Compass Point Studio session produced by Sly & Robbie for a mooted Island LP that was never completed – a pity so few are ever likely to find it … Steinski’s newsreel-cutting ‘The Motorcade Sped On’, about JFK’s assassination, has turned up on vinyl at last, but only on ultra-expensive hard to find US Disconet … Kenny Beck, currently in litigation over the authorship of ‘Mine All Mine’, manages Harleqiun Four’s lead singer Barbara Tucker … Jak To Jak is being “restructured” for full commercial release … Les Adams has done an incredibly clever megamix of Sly Fox ‘Let’s Go All The Way’, Queen ‘We Will Rock You’ and Boogie Boys ‘Fly Girl’ which is already out in Europe, although here, because it would be classed as a “compilation” for chart purposes, it seems likely only to be Sly Fox’s next B-side … Robbie Vincent devotes at least half his 9-11pm Radio One soul show this Sunday (10) to a recording of Anita Baker’s London concert – the Sunday one, by which time she was evidently less easily swayed by the audience’s shouted requests into singing all her biggest slowies at the start – after which for three weeks Radio London’s Saturday lunchtime soul man Jeff Young fills Robbie’s chair … South London’s SOLAR Radio is now broadcasting instead in Portugal to the Algarve on 90.5FM, complete with Portuguese commercials between the Bill Mitchells! … I bumped into Red Nose Radio’s soul man Richard Searling in an M6 motorway restaurant on my way to see Zuice in Manchester – he was returning from the Anita Baker show, and we had a good natter … Mike Shaft, his community radio plans in temporary tatters, now presents BBC Radio Manchester’s soul show Saturdays 7.30-midnight … Billy Crystal is filming in London during October – could he be visiting South Wales too? … UK Disco Mixing runner-up Jon Davis starts this Thursday (7) a weekly night at Bideford’s brand new Baileys on the quay … Jay Strongman, Pete Tong, Nicky Holloway, Chris Brown, Jonathon More, Bob Jones, Gilles Peterson & Chris Bangs have another Doo At The Zoo in Regents Park this Saturday (9) … Mayfair’s Gullivers doesn’t close now until November, and business is booming … Benny Wilson, funking Stamford Hill’s Cotton Club Thur/Fri/Sat/Sun, like other London jocks finds his black audience slow to respond to anything faster than 110bpm, thus ruling out any “house” hits — however, Ashley Hooper at Bournemouth’s Shunters and Mr C’s is already having to revive the frantic old Francine McGee ‘Delirium‘ and Slick ‘Space Bass‘ … Stock/Aitken/Waterman have done a House Mix of ‘In The Heat Of A Passionate Moment’ as Princess’s follow-up, and a House Remix of O’chi Brown … Ian Levine, having sussed that “house” is only another form of Hi-NRG, is producing ‘On The House‘ by Midnight Sunrise — it had to happen! … SORRY, WRONG BEAT!

CHAD JACKSON, as can be seen, got up to his usual tricks in the initial heats of the New Music Seminar’s scratching competition. Scratchers (and rappers) battled in pairs, each trading three 30-second sets in which they had to outdo each other. Chad, against the Get Fresh Crew’s DJ Barry B, for his second set cut up the words “Get Fresh Crew” in an answerable attack, and the predominantly black New York crowd went wild! His proudest moment? It was a round-winner, as was Cut Master DC’s scratching with a sneaker, his nose and a basketball, while Jazzy Jeff beat last year’s winner DJ Cheese.

All this was done on Numark MDJS Series decks, which jumped like crazy – unfortunately, as they were the competition’s sponsors. Even when fitted with Stanton 500AL cartridges and D5107A1 styli (established as the scratchers’ faves) the decks worked little better. Come the day of the finals, they had been exchanged quietly for Technics, and ostensibly because of this but mainly then to include aspiring scratcher Tony G, whose dad owns influential Los Angeles radio station KDAY, it was suddenly announced that the initial heats would be re-run. This threw most of the now re-matched winners, off-form Chad being beaten by Jazzy Jeff, Eazy G by an athletically on-form Barry B, Cheese by Tony G, Prince Paul by Cut Master DC. The judges were all stars, Grandmaster Flash, Mantronik and that ilk, including Lady B – who actually said she manages Jazzy Jeff. As all the others seemed scared of offending anyone, they tended to sit on the fence and award everyone the same marks, leaving the way clear for Lady B to hold up a full 10 every time for Jazzy Jeff and considerably less for his competitors. The result was inevitable, and probably deserved, Jeff beating Barry B in the final after they’d respectively seen off Cut Master DC and Tony G in the semi-finals. The rapping likewise was even more discredited, heartfelt boos from the audience greeting the judges’ decision to snub the brilliant extemporised raps of newcomer Robert S in favour of their dull peer T LA Rock, who was then beaten by Grandmaster Kaz. But by then the relevance of the whole competition had been called into permanent doubt.

HOT VINYL

JANET JACKSON ‘When I Think Of You (Dance Remix)’ A&M AMY 337)
Teasingly introed quite radical 115¾- 115⅔bpm Jam & Lewis remix of the zestfully bounding girlish bather everyone always wanted as her single, the original’s delightfully laughing outro now fragmented within dub-like rhythm breaks (inst/beats flip), not necessarily an improvement although obviously at this stage something new was needed.

In fact with strange timing it’s also pitted against a less frenetically retextured and extended 0-103⅚bpm ‘Nasty (Cool Summer Mix)’ (US A&M SP-12196) of her last hit, with Herb Alpert tootling some on the even longer Part II, cool like the title says.

MEL & KIM ‘Showing Out’ (Supreme Records SUPET 107)
Their real names, these two female models were dancing for Alan Whitehead’s agency at the Hippodrome DJ Convention when they accosted Pete Waterman and said “You ought to record us!” This eventual outcome was actually written on Friday, July 18, recorded Monday 21, played off acetate by John Sachs on Capital Radio Tuesday 22, out on fully printed promo copies Friday 25, and all over the airwaves Saturday 26 — how’s that for speed? The tightly chanted “house”-tempoed 0-119¾bpm topside has a catchy “get fresh at the weekend” hookline, with a ‘Set It Off’-ish 109¾bpm instrumental ‘System (House Mix)‘ as AA-side flip.

ZUICE ‘Everyone A Winner’ (Club JABX 34)
Introduced to assembled DJs last week at Manchester’s Richfields and (above) Glasgow’s Cotton Club — where I enjoyed meeting many of our chart contributors and more — this London quintet’s nagging juddery wriggly 110⅚bpm roller (in three versions) was co-produced in Los Angeles by Stevie Wonder’s bassist Nathan Watts and engineer Bobby Brooks. You’ll have noted the guys’ guitars, heard more on the flip’s mournful 87-0bpm ‘Sad To Say Goodbye‘.

TRICKY TEE ‘Leave It To The Drums’ (US Sleeping Bag Records SLX-21)
Crucial sounding 100⅙bpm frisky go go hip hop rap mixing classic break beats briefly into the main rhythm, and flipped by the equally strong 97bpm ‘I’ve Got It Good‘ (both in three mixes). Double def!

STEVE MANCHA ‘It’s All Over The Grapevine’ (Columbia 12DB 9138)
Detroit’s Sixties soulster fronted 100 Proof (Aged In Soul) and 8th Day in the early Seventies, returning now on an Ian Levine-produced joyfully wriggling and squiggling 107¼bpm Dr Buzzard-meets-the Temptations kicker which should brighten your day (dub flip).

JAZZ JEFF & FRESH PRINCE ‘Girls Ain’t Nothing But Trouble’ (US Word Records WD 001)
Scratch mixer Jazzy Jeff (his normal spelling) and rapper Fresh Prince are decidedly influenced by Full Force’s productions on a Roxanne-ish lean ‘n’ keen 94bpm jitterer (in four mixes) quite amusingly about the problems encountered chatting up girls.

U.T.F.O. ‘We Work Hard’ (Cooltempo COOLX 128)
Full Force-produced furious 0-100⅓-100-0bpm go go hip hop rap like a less gimmicky ‘Bang Zoom’, flipped by the sparser jaunty singalong 0-104⅚-0bpm ‘Kangol & Doc‘, both scratched by Mixmaster Ice. How come Full Force are proving less consistent on their own material?

CAMEO ‘Word Up’ (US Atlanta Artists 884-933-1)
Due here imminently but beating even UK promos as an import, this starkly whipping 116¼-0bpm chant (in three versions) is at an unsoulful tempo, despite echoing their ‘Single Girls’ spaghetti western whistle and usual nasal tones, with most initial praise coming from pop jocks (slinky older 94bpm ‘Urban Warrior‘ too). Probably a grower.

ALEXANDER O’NEAL You Were Meant To Be My Lady (Not My Girl)’ (US Tabu 4Z9 05937)
Yet another track from his classic debut album remixed by producers Jam & Lewis, this rolling taut 100⅔bpm basher being actually in four different mixes, the Party Mix full of amusing chatter.

COLORS ‘Pay Me Back My Love’ (Prelude ZT 40798)
The guys’ timelessly soulful supple jauntily shuffling 114⅗bpm skipper (in three mixes) deserves to do much better now it’s come out here.

THE COOL NOTES ‘Momentary Vision’ (Abstract Records ADT 10)
Squeakily gurgled repetitively looping little (0-)120½bpm trotter aimed at radio, while the flip’s juddery (0-)112½bpm ‘Girls Night Out‘ and older style 0-108½bpm ‘Your Love Is Taking Over‘ are more for floors.

KREAMCICLE ‘No News Is News (Extended)’ (Bluebird/10 BRT 25)
Carol Williams-wailed loosely strung jittery old weaver, finally out here in producer Darryl Payne’s (0-)113-112¾-112¼bpm remix (inst flip), on an unexpected label.

ARETHA FRANKLIN ‘Ain’t Nobody Ever Loved You (Remix)’ (Arista AFWL 667)
Aretha’s ‘All Night Long (All Night)’ has exotic (0-)99⅚-0bpm steel drum rhythms and a lurching jolly lilt (percappella flip).

CARGO featuring Dave Collins ‘Love You So (Without You)’ (Streetwise MKHAN 73)
At last jazz keyboardist Mike Carr has found a likely floor-filling formula, for downtempo London at least, with this Al Jarreau-ish gently jogging 92⅓-92⅚bpm swayer which is mellower in its StreetSounds Exclusive Mix with less obtrusively chorusing girls than the Remixed Version.

PROJECTION ‘I Don’t Fake My Love’ (Elite DAZZ 55, via PRT)
Wriggly 108½bpm London soul burbler tentatively sung by who presumably is a girl, but could be a nervous youth, in sub-Cool Notes style (dub flip).

BASIA ‘Freeze Thaw’ (Portrait TA 7276)
Frisky B-side instrumental jazz samba by Matt Bianco’s splinter group, more in their popular old style than are the current line-up, received so far only on 117½bpm seven inch.

EMOTIONS ‘Flowers’ (Streetwave SWAVE 10)
Cooing 106-108½-109½-110⅓-111⅔-111⅓bpm swayer back-to-back with the squeaky girls’ snappily strutting 113¾-115-115½-116bpm ‘Best Of My Love’ hit, both from the late Seventies.

THE REAL THING ‘Can You Feel The Force (Jedi Mix)’ (PRT I2P 358)
You can see why I was in no rush to BPM this pop-aimed 130-131¼-133-0(intro)-131¼-130-127-130-127-130-130½-130-129¾-130½-130bpm remixed oldie!

CERRONE ‘Supernature ’86’ (Music Of Life Records MOLIF 5, via Streetwave)
Froggy and Simon Harris’s label debuts (at 33⅓rpm) with a still surprisingly dated sounding 0-122¼-122¾-0bpm remix by Cerrone himself of the exactly eight years old hit that Hot Gossip used to squirm to, now totally pop in its appeal.

RANDY CRAWFORD ‘Gettin’ Away With Murder’ (Warner Bros W8641T)
Remixed bland 114½bpm chugger with the much better more typical showcase for her voice, the undulating 101⅓bpm ‘Don’t Wanna Be Normal‘, thrown away after the cantering 124bpm ‘Overnight‘ as flip.

BARBARA ROY ‘Gotta See You Tonight’ (US RCA Victor PW-14405)
Ecstasy Passion & Pain’s leader returns on a datedly “diva” style rambling ponderous Paul Simpson-prod/penned 112⅔bpm disco pusher (in three versions), promoed but not out here until — RCA hope — mailing list DJs have made it a hit.
