November 1, 1986: Hindsight, Fission, Cleavage, Original Concept, Yasuko Agawa

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

NAUGHTY NEWSAGENTS in some places apparently separated the free introductory issue of JOCKS from the copy of rm it should have been inside, and sold it at an estimated price – this was not right, and we’re sorry about it, but it has certainly alerted the newsagent chains to the new magazine’s existence quite spectacularly! … London’s airwaves seem crowded with black music stations again, many not just at the weekends, currently heard being TKO 90.7, LWR 92.05, KISS-fm 93.95, Starpoint 94.4, Time Radio 103.8, JBC 104.85 (the last two largely reggae), soon to be joined by WBLS 88.5FM dedicated to ‘harder’ sounds … Mike Allen is syndicating an encapsulated hour-long version of his popular Capital Radio hip hop shows to various ILR stations including (Saturday evening) Radio Forth, Pennine Radio, Signal Radio, Hereward Radio, Southern Sound and (Friday) Severn Sound, this ‘National Fresh’ version still featuring Chuck Chill’s Big Apple report and all the rest that’s def ‘n’ fresh in 1986’s truest teenage music … Tony Prince returns to Radio Luxembourg 208MW from this Saturday with a weekly 7- 8pm show featuring Disco Mix Club megamixes … Les Adams and Paul DaKeyne have created two sides each of an 86-track double album for Stylus Records which megamixes ’86 For 86′, the jocks being filmed for its TV merchandising campaign … Serious Records’ latest hot trax-filled ‘Upfront 3‘ compilation has serious competition in a similar double LP format from Champion’s brand new ‘Ultimate Trax‘ (CHAMP 103), not quite so upfront maybe but usefully including the (by chance?) just revived Kinkina ‘Jungle Fever‘ and a Battle Of The DJs in which DJ Cheese and Chad Jackson each have one whole side on which to mix the same records … Cheese incidentally was videoed grooving on the floor at Streetwave’s hip hop gig at the Limelight last week, where Hardrock Soul Movement’s new DJ Streets Ahead really impressed with his one beat cutting … Peckham La Plaza’s bouncers had a barney with some kids they’d offended, one of whom ended up by blasting a bouncer in the gut with a shotgun – not funny … Sunday afternoon (2) the Midlands’ disco exhibition Discoscene ’86 at Birmingham Kitts Green’s Mackadown (details 021-707 1925) … Phil Dinnis (01-670 2455) urgently needs a black music-mixing personality DJ for a top club in Malta … Jon Williams is leaving Malaco Dance to loin Ian Dewhirst at Fourth & Broadway, from which Tim Rudling is moving to EMI, while Dancin’ Danny Poku is at Virgin … Timex Social Club’s rather pop-ish LP has been largely remixed for UK release by Phil Harding and Dancin’ Danny D … Cooltempo is becoming a label in the USA, too, picking up black indie product for wider distribution there just as here … Duke Bootee borrowing from 1966’s ‘Funky Broadway’ and ‘Fusion Beats Vol 2‘ including 1969’s ‘Let A Woman Be A Woman – Let A Man Be A Man‘, these originals and other ancient funkers are still available on the late Dyke & The Blazers’ ‘So Sharp’ LP (Kent 004) … Streetwave’s latest label Hardback has picked up Duke Bootee … Bluebird appear to have licensed the Davis/Pinckney Project to Polydor here, rather late … Full Force have been producing Steven Danté, and – they say, in credible style – Samantha Fox! … Anita Baker’s US success with ‘Sweet Love’ has prompted its reissue here with a couple of live BBC recordings added to the flip … Gregory Abbott topped US Black 45s, Cameo Black LPs, Human League both 12 Inch Sales and Club Play in Billboard … Surface’s earlier incarnation, created by the same guys who are now the group, was then fronted by a girl … Georgie Fame’s 12 inch pressing (as opposed to my review acetate) is 102⅚/205⅔bpm … Thursday (30) Pete Tong & Co ‘Raid’ the Wag, Friday (31) Steve Walsh joins Danny Smith funking Gt Yarmouth Scruples … Saturday (1) the world goes out to a disco to support Disco Aid: all the participating clubs will have special attractions and, even if they are making a small supplementary charge, are the ones that deserve your custom that night … Monday (3) Stoke’s Trevor M starts a new black music night at Nottingham Easy Street, and Tony Worrell PAs at Simon Goffe and Streetlife Unlimited’s London Oxford Street Oxfords night … Tuesday (4) Tony Blackburn gets burned on a bonfire by Steve Walsh and Dave French at Bexleyheath Crook Log’s Drayman … Mad Marx spins salsa/samba/be-bop Saturday lunchtimes at Southend-on-Sea Scruples … Nellie ‘Mixmaster’ Rochefort has produced an updated remake of Diana Ross’s ‘Love Hangover’ by Tracy Ackerman, due on Debut imminently … Raze ‘Jack The Groove’ owes a debt to the Disco Dub Band ‘For The Love Of Money‘ … DER RUMP DUMP DUM DUM DUMP DUM…

NICKY HOLLOWAY has one of his famous ‘Doos’ this Saturday (1), not a Doo At The Zoo this time, but a Doo At The Dome, at Thorpe Park amusement park near the M3/M25 interchange. With him will be Pete Tong, Chris Hill, Chris Brown, Johnnie Walker, Gilles Peterson, Chris Bangs and Martin Collins, funking and jazzing the house. How much will they raise for Disco Aid?

HOT VINYL

HINDSIGHT ‘Small Change (Spare A Dime Mix)’ (Circa Records YRT1, via Virgin)
Ashley Newton’s label debuts with ex-Central Liners Henri Defoe and Camelle Hinds’ coolly throbbing 112¼bpm tuneful classy rap-cum-song (inst/dub too), its African Aid message subtly influencing the undertow rather than the whole sound. Although widely promoed, it’s not fully out for nearly a fortnight.

FISSION ‘Miller Light’ (Spacematic Records XING 111, via PRT)
Tottenham jocks Howierd The Duck and DJ Szeps have created the best homegrown hip hop yet, brilliantly scratching Glenn Miller tunes behind an hilariously worded rap, in two 95bpm mixes, a British ‘Bang Zoom’ destined to be large! The speedier flip’s 117¼bpm ‘Private Dicks’ is clever, too, but nothing like so fresh.

CLEAVAGE ‘Barah’ (US Studio Records STU-1011)
That’s the correct spelling for an excellent leanly bounding 118⅓-0bpm not-overly-house instrumental (in three mixes) borrowing heavily from 1973’s ‘Bra‘ by Cymande (which was a London based Afro-fusion band always bigger in the US). This sounds like a classic which could have come out any time in the last 10 years, a sure floor filler.

ORIGINAL CONCEPT ‘Pump That Bass/Live (Get A Little Stupid … HO!)’ (US Def Jam 44-05961)
Exploding two weekends ago when first only on seven inch, this is the exciting hip hop culmination of the Beastie Boys ‘It’s The New Style’ crossed with Run-DMC s rock guitar and ultra def 0-104-0bpm beats – in fact, a B-side track to the 84⅔bpm ‘Bite’n My Stylee‘, which combines reggae, Cheech ‘n’ Chong, and the ‘White Lines’ bass line (inst too). The freshest!

YASUKO AGAWA ‘L.A. Nights’ (Bluebird/10 BRT 26)
Originally several years back on an exorbitantly priced Japanese LP, this gently girl-crooned vibey pulsating 99bpm adaptation of Light Of The World’s old ‘London Town’ is at list widely available on fast selling 12 inch, flipped for value by a version of Richie Cole’s recently Mondo Kané’d lightly samba-ing 0-98⅓-98⅔-99⅚bpm ‘New York Afternoon‘.

PHIL FEARON ‘Ain’t Nothing But A House Party’ (Ensign PFX 2)
Someone had to do it! Produced with tongue firmly in cheek by Stock/Aitken/Waterman, the Show Stoppers’ 1967 classic has been given a blatant 0-123-122¾bpm corny Farley-style house treatment to go with its title which, so far as Phil’s normally distinctive vocal is concerned, could have been sung by Total Contrast or anybody. He’s actually more recognisable on the flip’s 0-122½-122¼bpm edit (119bpm ‘Burning All My Bridges‘ too). Unlike most genuine Chicago stuff, it has of course the chart advantage of a real song.

KURTIS BLOW ‘I’m Chillin’’ (Club JABX 42)
Already notorious for its catchy use of the ‘Transformers, robots in disguise’ jingle, this Trouble Funk-backed (0-)106½-107-108⅓-107⅓-107½-109-108⅓-109-108⅓-108bpm go go jiggler has quietly bragging lyrics criticising the topics rapped about by other sucker MCs (three versions and the 68bpm ‘Don’t Cha Feel Like Making Love’).

GRACE JONES ‘I’m Not Perfect (But I’m Perfect For You)’ (Manhattan 12 MT 15)
Nile Rodgers-produced typically jittering Chic-style 108⅙bpm staccato jolter (inst too), Grace herself sounding more typical on the flip’s slinkily duetted 98⅙bpm ‘Scary But Fun‘.

‘Fusion Beats Vol. 2’ (US Bozo Meko Records BM001)
Replacing ‘Feelin’ James’ as hottest bootleg, this simply edited 0-108⅔-105⅔-110⅓-105-109⅓-111⅓bpm mixer alternates between bursts of the Mohawks’ much sought ‘The Champ’ and James Brown’s ‘Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved’ (rather like Original Concept’s ‘Can You Feel It’) before ending with Dyke & The Blazers’ ‘Let A Woman Be A Woman – Let A Man Be A Man’. The A-side is actually a badly recorded live ‘Flash It To The Beat‘ by (Grandmaster) Flash And The Furious 5.

WOOLY REASONABLE & THE YO CULTURE ‘You’re The Only One’ (US Beauty and The Beat BAB 106)
A real grower, this Duke Bootee-produced wriggly 103½bpm nagger jiggles through scratching, a Jamaican-accented muttering girl, soft chanting, a het-up worrying guy, squalling sax, whining guitar and a rhythm that don’t quit (inst flip), compulsive stuff!

BUNNY WAILER ‘Back To School’ (Solomanic SM 025, via jet Star)
With a Crown Heights Affair-cribbing air stewardess intro, this simple 95¾-97½bpm nursery rhyme rap (not in reggae style) from 1982 has been reissued as it rapidly revives following play by London’s pirate radio (dub flip). Quite timely after half-term, too!

KOOL MOE DEE ‘Go See The Doctor’ (US Roof Top Records RT-001)
Hilariously about a randy chap’s dose of the clap, this jaunty 89⅙bpm rap follows perfectly from ‘Girls Ain’t Nothing But Trouble’ but will never get any radio play, despite an ‘Almost Clean’ version! The hard 91⅔bpm ‘Monster Crack‘ has a broadcastable strong message, though.

JAKI GRAHAM ‘Step Right Up (Pure Dance Mix)’ (EMI 12JAKI 9)
Noisily bashing and hollering blatantly commercial spurting 121½bpm black pop – and, no, at that BPM it is not in fact house! – with an acappella outro.

S.O.S. BAND ‘Even When You Sleep (Extended Remix)’ (US Tabu 4Z9 05954)
Familiar territory trodden with calm confidence, if few surprises, one of Jam & Lewis’s rolling 0-98⅔bpm sultry grooves remixed in four new ways. You know the style … and you love it!

JEFF LORBER ‘Private Passion’ LP (US Warner Bros 1-25492)
Techno-jazz, lightweight vocals and decent slowies, the most credible floor fodder on first rushed listen (fuller review to follow) seeming like the buoyantly rolling 90bpm ‘Midnight Snack’ and mildly jaunty 103⅙bpm ‘Jamaica’ instrumentals, and Michael Jeffries-sung soulfully jogging 97½bpm ‘Keep On Lovin’ Her‘. Likewise, I’d no time to review FREDDIE JACKSON ‘Just Like The First Time’ LP (Capitol EST 2023), about which the title says all, except there are even more slowies this time!

GARY L ‘Time (Time To Party)’ (US Sensations Records CS-45-01)
More house from New Jersey, although really in Colonel Abrams or Private Possession style and strong of its familiar sort, this busily skittering 120½bpm bounder is in four mixes, the main one by Regisford & Jarvis.

JANICE CHRISTIE ‘Heat Stroke’ (US SuperTronics RY 016)
Sneakily nagging juddery pent-up rolling jiggly basher which packs more of a wallop than one quick listen suggests, in two 101⅚bpm Tony Humphries mixes, and – check this – an 100bpm Larry Levan mix too. This now clashes with her UK-issued breathy also juddery 105⅓bpm jogger, ‘I’m Hungry For Your Love’ (Affair TART 1).

JANICE McCLAIN ‘Passion And Pain’ (US MCA Records MCA-23647)
Nick Martinelli-produced predictable precisely ticking and jolting (0-)92¼bpm plodder, soulfully wailed through the usual structure (in four mixes).

ISAAC HAYES ‘Ike’s Rap/Hey Girl’ (US Columbia 44-05962)
Rapping again in his classic ‘By The Time I Get To Phoenix’ style, Ike starts with a romantic sounding though serious anti-crack message that has a humorous twist before the 65⅓bpm track becomes a lovely revival of Freddie Scott’s much-covered 1963 US smooch smash (edit flip), vintage Hayes.

ZUICE ‘I’m Burning’ (Club JABX 41)
Without another lavish launch, will this inspire such long lasting DJ loyalty as their debut did? Again too stolid and tricksily treated although basically quite a decent song, the A-side’s vocal Jam & Lewis-meet-Nile Rodgers lurching 105⅔bpm Sure Buster Mix is for me beaten by the brighter B-side dub’s chinky Chic-guitared Sister Sledge-ish 0-106bpm Royal Mix. How about a remix combining the two?

HEAVY D. & The BOYZ ‘Mr Big Stuff’ (US MCA Records MCA-23691)
Although it could be a remake that’s used, repeatedly scratched into the jittery 98½bpm beat, this Dr Jeckyll produced lively rap is shamelessly based without any credit on Jean Knight’s 1971 smash of the same name (inst flip).

CUT MASTER D.C. ‘Bum MC’s’ (US Zakia Records ZK 016)
D.C. certainly cuts and produces this beefy 94⅔-0bpm hip hop jiggler, braggingly rapped by poppin’ MCs, and the flip’s more serious anti-crack 0-101⅔bpm ‘Crack, Crack “(Don’t Do It)”’ (both with instrumentals too), but the label lists nobody as artiste – although presumably it should be whichever rap act includes Tricky Vic, Tony Rome and is that Zineski?

D.J. SCOTT LA ROCK – BLASTMASTER K.R.S. ONE & D-NICE ‘South Bronx’ (US B Boy Records BB 100)
Specialist though very interesting starkly jolting 95½bpm rap relating the history of hip hop, from the South Bronx’s viewpoint (inst too, and reggae toasting-style ‘The “P” Is Free’ flip).

O’CHI BROWN ‘Two Hearts Beating As One’ (Magnet MAGT 297)
Stock/Aitken/Waterman parody their original Princess style for this 109⅘bpm jolting sweet swayer, with a less plagiarised pleasant 100⅔bpm ‘Another Broken Heart’ flip.

KOOL & THE GANG ‘Victory’ (US Mercury 888 074-1)
Fairly uninteresting 123bpm lurching pounder in polished black pop style, only likely to mean much once it’s out here.

LEVERT ‘(Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop) Goes My Mind’ (Atlantic A9389T)
O’Jays leader Eddie Levert’s boys topped the US soul chart with this superb hesitant 0-80/40bpm smoocher, flipped by the even more danceable good tensely jogging 99⅓bpm ‘Looking For Love’ with chunky vocal interplay and bursts of rap ‘n’ scratch.
