November 22, 1986: Cameo, Luther Vandross, The Gap Band, Beastie Boys, Billy Crystal

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

JANET JACKSON’s weak 120bpm original 12 inch version of ‘Control’ has been replaced by an immediately attacking far harder (0-)122½-0bpm Out Of Control Video Mix (A&M AMX 359), which should turn it around now … George Benson’s dub of ‘Shiver’ is actually only on the single 12 inch version now, not on the twin-pack as had it been included that would have had too many minutes of music to qualify as a single … Radio One were threatening to ban Cameo’s ‘Candy’ as they thought the title was about drugs! … Richard Searling’s devotion to “quiet storm”-style soul instead of funky dance music has resulted in such low ratings for his Red Rose Radio soul show that he was going to be dropped by the station, until a public outcry ensured that his show will return, on Sundays, from January 2 … Stu Allan plays Original Concept and other def 1986 toons on Piccadilly Radio, sharing a Sunday 1-6am disco show with Chris Buckley and soloing later with harder upfront stuff Sunday 11pm-2am … London’s latest ballyhooed pirate WBLS lost their aerial after three days, but their signal until then had been lousy anyway … Shinehead’s 12 inch is so overpoweringly bassy that it’s being repressed to prevent blowing speakers! … Music Of Life picked up The Source featuring Candi Staton, while Club have had Wooly Reasonable &t The Yo Culture all along … Masterdon Committee ‘Funk Box Party‘ has been bootlegged in the UK with LJ Reynolds ‘Key To The World‘ and Hi-Tension ‘There’s A Reason‘ as flip … Run-DMC actually recorded ‘Hold It Now Hit It’ before the Beastie Boys were given their original Larry Smith produced track to lay vocals over, Tim Westwood being the proud owner here of an acetate! … Mario Reyes’ dialogue excerpts on the recently reviewed ‘Whatever Turns You On’ are in fact from ‘Pee Wee’s Big Adventure’ … Belfast Soul Club meets fortnightly on Thursdays (Nov 20, Dec 4) at Belfast’s Star & Garter in Rosemary Street – turn up, or call Terry Corr on Belfast 661761 for details … Saturday (22) Graham Gold, Jerry Green, John Matthews and more soul at 3.30pm alldayer at Northolt C&L Leisure (Polish War Memorial turn off A40), while the Hills (Chris & Kev) are alive to the sound of soul at Harlow Whispers, and Robbie Vincent souls Great Yarmouth Tiffanys … lain Norman is building up a funky little scene at Needham Market’s Barking Fox Sun/Fri, Ipswich Hoofers Wed … Tristan Bolitho has left his native Cornwall for Bristol’s Studio … Dave Rawlings during his Disco Aid night at Basingstoke Martines only played paid-for requests (no Madonna all night!), and took £5 to smash Nick Berry’s single on stage — after which he was given much more money for having done so! … Faze One were set upon by a gang of 15 white youths and kicked to a pulp when they stopped for a burger in Newcastle-upon-Tyne after doing ‘The Tube’, their attackers not knowing or caring who they were, just seeing their colour … John Morales & Sergio Munzibai were DJs for the opening of New York’s new 1018 club, on the West 18th Street site of the old Roxy roller-disco … Friendly, Curtis and possibly even Bobby too look like living over here along with brother Cecil Womack, who is even setting up his own UK label … Jeff Young warns that Swing Out Sister’s follow-up, ‘Surrender‘, is serious soul boy stuff! … DER RUMP DUMP DUM DUM DUMP DUM…

TONY BLACKBURN takes the Radio London Soul Night Out into deepest Essex this Thursday (20), for the first time to Basildon Festival Hall, then next week (27) it’s back into the smoke at Clapton’s Dougies. Steve Walsh will also, of course, loom larger than life!

HOT VINYL

CAMEO ‘Candy’ (Club JABX 43)
Although closely battled by ‘Back And Forth’, their LP’s winning track is this familiarly lurching 110½bpm weaving web of exaggerated voices, buzzing guitar, honking sax and off-centre beats, flipped by a sparser new 108½bpm remix and the lovely soulful slow 90⅔bpm ‘Don’t Be Lonely‘.

LUTHER VANDROSS ‘Give Me The Reason’ (Epic 650216 6)
Presumably A-side again as it’s from the currently showing film ‘Ruthless People’, this reissued ambiguously jiggling 138¾bpm spurter is flipped by his similar US A-side cantering 143-0bpm ‘Stop To Love‘, both vocally soulful if dodgy for dancers – oh, and yes, also on there is ‘See Me‘, the gorgeously weaving 102bpm swayer which by far is his hottest track here! Thrown away as a flip…

THE GAP BAND ‘Big Fun’ (Total Experience FT 49780)
Rush released wonderful Stevie Wonder-ish joyfully rambling 110⅔-112¾-112-113⅔- 114½-114-112½-114¼bpm soul burbler in three main mixes here, this being the Mega Mix.

BEASTIE BOYS ‘Licensed To Ill’ LP (US Def Jam BFC 40238)
The shouting white rappers’ brilliant 0-96⅔bpm ‘Slow Ride’ adaptation of War’s ‘Low Rider’ is joined by the harder, much rockier 96½bpm ‘She’s Crafty‘ (copping guitar riffs from Led Zep’s ‘The Ocean’), the ponderously heavy 76bpm ‘Rhymin & Stealin‘, 85¾bpm ‘Posse In Effect‘, 97bpm ‘No Sleep Till Brooklyn‘, 98bpm ‘Time To Get Ill‘ and the jauntily romping 138½bpm ‘Girls‘ (reminiscent of the Coasters’ version of Elvis Presley’s ‘Girls Girls Girls‘!), plus other-released tracks, in an exciting mixture of rap, scratch and metal that’s opened people’s ears wide and become a talking point of 1986.

BILLY CRYSTAL ‘You Look Marvelous’ (A&M AMY 353)
After he was Jody in ‘Soap’, Billy was part of the ‘Saturday Night Live’ team on US TV, impersonating such characters as Fernando Lamas, a real life Latin actor/personality whose most used expression he here sends up as he smarmily drops names and chatters inconsequentially to a purposefully dated 0-112-0bpm disco hustler, the harder more electro dub of which was promoed here last year. Now the accompanying video has finally shown UK audiences what it’s all about, and “Fernando” is becoming a cult here too.

DAVIS/PINCKNEY PROJECT featuring Lorenzo Queen ‘You Can Dance (If You Want To)’ (Boiling Point POSPX 836)
Drastically belated UK release for one of the best and most original go go hits ever, a subtly arranged 103⅙bpm jiggler with drily husky Lorenzo creating an insistent vocal swing (inst flip).

WIRED ‘To The Beat Of The Drum’ (US Underworld AP 124)
The freshest house hit for a while, repeating the clichés but with slippery slickness, this instrumental clicks and ticks through three main versions at 122bpm, just the uncredited On The Burn Side’s bonus beats being 124½bpm.

VARIOUS ‘Bits & Pieces 87’ (US Dynamite Mix 1004)
Actually that’s all the information on the label, in random order, this being the latest hot bootleg mixer, blending neatly through ‘Rumors/Hungry For Your Love/ Ain’t Nothin’ Goin’ On But The Rent/Find A Way’ at 0-112-111-110½-115½-114bpm and flipped by a c119…121½bpm sequence of breaks.

CURTIS HAIRSTON ‘Curtis Hairston’ LP (US Atlantic 81693-1)
Emerging as the winners on a consistent set containing no immediate standouts, other than his 98½bpm ‘Chillin’ Out‘ hit, are the wriggly swaying 112¼bpm ‘The Morning After’ with his patented self-duetted “female” voice (although it’s not so much a song as a repeated title line), and the chunkily tripping 109⅓bpm ‘Hold On (For Me)‘. However, check also the urgent 118bpm ‘Take Charge‘, purposeful 109⅓bpm ‘Let Me Change Your Mind‘, smoochy 85¾bpm ‘(You’re My) Shining Star’, gospelish 113½bpm ‘Let’s Make Love Tonight’, slushy 0-60/30bpm ‘All We Have Is Love’.

ARMENTA ‘Tell Me (What You Need)’ (US New Image NIR 2222)
Darryl Payne continues his remix campaign with a new “1987” version of this at first rhythmically confused double-beating murkily juddering 104⅔bpm girl wailed nagger (inst flip), like a more soulful Shannon.

SHANNON ‘Prove Me Right’ (US Atlantic 0-86775)
Pitched at a sultrier Grace Jones-ish level, the sometime electro-disco queen keeps letting this surging (0-)105-104¾bpm burbler be dominated by the fluid bass and glib rock guitar (in four versions).

INDIAN OCEAN featuring Arthur Russell ‘Treehouse/School Bell (Part 1)’ (US Sleeping Bag Records SLX-23)
Dinosaur L’s eccentric Arthur is even stranger than ‘Let’s Go Swimming’ on this loosely strung fast sparse 0- 127½-126½-129-137bpm rhythm track full of bubbling bass, odd noises and Indian percussion, fascinating and experimental for only the most daring of DJs (two more equally erratic versions, as well).

NICE & WILD ‘Diamond Girl’ (US Atlantic 0-86778)
Disjointedly edited and sampled, especially at the start, this racing urgent 126½bpm rattler (in three mixes) is a bit ricky tick for traditional UK tastes but could fit the house groove, sorta Puerto Rican Hi-NRG and huge in the US.

LES LEE ‘Tell Me Can You Love Me’ (US Mega Bolt MB-5557)
Out for ages but still happening for some, this girl wailed jittery skittery (0-)115½bpm wriggler (dub/edit flip) has some familiar late Seventies touches (from ‘Shame’, or what?).

TONI SMITH ‘Can’t Stop (This Feelin’)’ (Lisson Records DOLEQ 4, via PRT)
Princess meets Joyce Sims amidst emulator chipmunks, with Tom Moulton’s 110⅓bpm mix and 108⅓bpm dub being better than the ponderous 109⅓bpm A-side, though none are exactly inspired.

DIZZI HEIGHTS ‘To The Sound Of The Drum And The Bass’ (Parlophone 12R 6138)
London’s rapping hairdresser has fans, in places like Majorca, and by sounding un-American this noisy all-happening 110¾-0bpm jitterer could be considered a genuine expression of British hip hop-pop (inst flip).

RANDY CRAWFORD ‘Desire’ (Warner Bros W8583T)
Despite the lovely but tempoless ‘Almaz’ being seven inch plug side, the bulk of the 12 inch contains three remixes of this chunkily chugging 112⅕bpm snappy swayer tunefully sung to an appealing beat (the “Acappella” is really a Dub).

VESTA WILLIAMS ‘Once Bitten Twice Shy’ (A&M AMY 362)
Although her LP’s killer remains ‘You Make Me Want To (Love Again)‘, this solidly rolling 110⅓bpm mellow chugger has good lyrics and makes a more commercial debut single, sorta Chaka meets Janet (dub, and joltingly dragging 95½bpm ‘My Heart Is Yours’ flip).

SYLVIA STRIPLIN ‘Give Me Your Love’ (Music Of Life MOLIF 8, via Streetwave)
One of the 80’s Ladies, once again also bootlegged (irritatingly with the here not included far hotter ‘You Can’t Turn Me Away‘), this Roy Ayers-produced aimlessly burbling 110⅔bpm looping lurcher from 1981 instead is legally flipped by the squeakily cloying 72½-0bpm ‘Will We Ever Pass This Way Again‘ and jittery 117¼bpm ‘Look Towards The Sky‘, all pitched rather like vintage Barbara Mason.

TIPPA IRIE ‘Panic Panic’ (Greensleeves TIPPA T6)
Far from reggae, this is an electronically juddered 106bpm bassy jitterer with Tippa’s familiar talk-sing tones giving a sinister sounding though happily ending salutary warning to silly star-struck girls (dub/inst flip).

MAXI PRIEST ‘Crazy Love’ (10 Records TENT 135)
Van Morrison’s evocative classic adapted with no great difficulty to an occasionally spurting 77bpm reggae rhythm, very pleasant.

JENNY BURTON ‘Do You Want It Bad Enuff’ (US Atlantic 0-86766)
Jeannie for 11 years now has been a powerful soul wailer, her voice more than the beat here selling this trickily starting 114⅓bpm swaying surger with a pleasant tune that tinkles through several lulls in the rhythm (dub/edit flip).

WOMACK & WOMACK ‘Soul Love/Soul Man’ (Manhattan 12MT 16)
‘Love Wars’ meet Sam & Dave at 128¼bpm, sounding bright on pop radio, though far more interesting is the flip’s Valentinos-accompanied amorphously muttered and crooned drifting dated 110/55bpm ‘Your Man’s On Fire’, for real soul fans.

TRACY ACKERMAN ‘Love Hangover’ (Debut DEBTX 3012)
Nellie Mixmaster Rochefort’s production debut sticks boringly close to Diana Ross’s dated 1976 arrangement but adds a naff new plodding 0-79⅔-111⅔-0bpm electronic beat — however, its very familiarity apparently causes screams of recognition in gay clubs (so why not use the original?).

PRESSURE POINT ‘Mellow Moods’ (HardBack BOSS 1)
Reissued instantly familiar and still popular Astrud Gilberto-ish shuffling 151½-150½-149-150-0bpm South London samba featuring Jamie Talbot’s alto sax, kicking off Streetwave’s latest label.

THREE THE HARDWAY Featuring WHITE FLASH ‘Hard Knox’ (US Hardcore Records COX 1713)
Run-DMC influenced starkly jolting jittery 84½bpm gangster rock rap, strong of its derivative type and hotter than the scratching, chiming and throbbing 0-88½bpm ‘Heart Beat‘, and ‘King Of Rock’-styled 88bpm ‘This House Rocks’ (instrumentals too).
