November 29, 1986: Fission, Curtis Hairston, Heavy D. & The Boyz, Oliver Cheatham, M.C. Shy-D

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

LOOSE ENDS’ commercially released ‘Nights Of Pleasure’ appears to be a single 12 inch containing Nick Martinelli’s 103bpm mix and just Dancin’ Danny D’s 104⅔bpm Dub version (not his vocal remix, once again), plus the older 120½bpm ‘Let’s Rock’ … Dancin’ Danny Poku has in fact joined Pete Edge running Cooltempo, the black music team at Virgin now being Mervyn Anthony and Justin Lubbock … UK promo copies of ‘Mr Big Stuff’ are flipped for collectors by the rapping and chanting 96⅔bpm ‘Uptown’s Kicking It‘, credited to The Uptown Crew despite the lyrics going “my name is Heavy D — and we are The Boyz”, evidently unscheduled here and (although it sounds awfully familiar) not due yet even in the US … Les Adams has concocted a 106½-111-121¼-0bm Jaki Graham ‘Megamix’ (EMI 12JAKIX 9) out of ‘Set Me Free/The Closest One/Step Right Up’, and has done a much smoother 114¾bpm lnto The Street Mix of Sharon Dee Clarke ‘Dance Your Way Out Of The Door’ (Arista ARIST 22682), other current remixes including an emptier 0-115¼-0bpm Commodores ‘Goin’ To The Bank (Credit Card Mix)‘ (Polydor POSPA 826), Phil Harding’s 130bpm Cupid Mix of Billy Ocean ‘Love Really Hurts Without You’ (Supreme Records SUPETX 110), a much chunkier 109⅔bpm New York Mix of O’chi Brown ‘Two Hearts Beating As One’ (Magnet MAGT 297R), Dancin’ Danny D’s go go-ish 100bpm Party Time mix of Octavia ‘2 The Limit’ (Cooltempo COOLR 131), and a US Warner Bros promo-only 0-108⅓bpm Victor Flores Passion Mix of Jeff Lorber ‘Facts Of Love’ (selectively mailed out by Phonogram here) … Mel & Kim’s Freehold Mix is indeed 119bpm … Cooltempo, who will be releasing it, warn that shops selling bootleg copies of the Naturals ‘Funky Rasta‘ run the risk of a visit by the BPI … Maceo & The Macks’ ancient ‘Across The Tracks‘, currently so hot its only just outside our Disco chart, is apparently being bootlegged here with the Jackson Sisters ‘I Believe In Miracles‘ as flip … Cultural Vibe has been repressed in the US with a brand new mix of ‘Dub Games’ … David Grant has left Chrysalis to sign with Polydor … Patti LaBelle duetted ‘On My Own’ at her Hammersmith shows with drummer John lngram, from the family group Ingram, and his sister Barbara Ingram was one of the three backing girls (in fact she was hardly able to walk as a lighting rig had recently fallen on her feet) … London’s WBLS returned with a strong signal, and is one of at least six black music stations now cockily running right through the week … Freddie Jackson ‘Tasty Love‘ topped US Black 45s, Cameo ‘Word Up’ and then the Communards ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’ Club Play in Billboard … Bobby Nunn of the original Coasters died aged 61 from a heart attack in Los Angeles on November 5, just as elements of his group’s old style seem to be resurfacing in some of today’s rap records … Thursday (27) Redhill s old Busbys reopens as Millionaires, with Paul Fernandez of Purley Scarlets there every Friday and looking for PAs on 0268-727412 (office hours) … Robbie Vincent souls Didcot’s revamped Rio Friday (28), when Tony Blackburn joins Chris Britton at Tottenham Websters … Nick Lloyd of Swindon Pasha (Tues/Thurs) had his records stolen from his car, mainly seven inch singles, some rubber-stamped with his nickname “Funky Banana” or with “Pasha Nightclub”. He’s offering £100 reward, call Swindon Police on 0793-28111 … Randy Crawford’s totally tempoless ‘Almaz‘ is lovely for listening, but is it really a floor-filler? … Gap Band 8 —One Way 9, Hip Hop Electro 15 — Serious Beats 1, Hibernians 4 —Hamilton Academicals 0 … DER RUMP DUMP DUM DUM DUMP DUM.

PATTI LaBELLE surprised many with one of the best live shows in a long time at Hammersmith Odeon two weekends ago. Looking stunning, yet very basic and human under the glitter, she kicked off her shoes, jumped up and down in gospel frenzy, lent her furs to people in the audience, and, cracking open a Heineken, said “I don’t like drinking out of a can … but I will”. Burp! The sudden appearance of Bobby Womack on stage almost stole the show, everyone spontaneously leaping to their feet, but in the end it was definitely Patti’s night. A blinder!

HOT VINYL

FISSION ‘King Of Swing’ (Streetwave UKHAN 4)
Retitled so that Radio One won’t have to advertise a brand of beer, and remade using different recordings of the Glenn Miller tunes to get around copyright problems, this amusing 97⅚-0bpm rap ‘n’ scratch by Howierd The Duck and DJ Szeps is indeed the already raved about and now widely available ‘Miller Light’ (in two vocal versions, plus beats and the 119bpm ‘Private Dicks’).

CURTIS HAIRSTON ‘Chillin’ Out (Remix)’ (Atlantic A9335T)
Already huge on import, this Timmy Regisford remixed Jocelyn Brown-tempoed catchy 98⅔bpm jiggler (dub/edit too) is here joined by his LP’s introverted jolting (0-)109½bpm ‘Hold On (For Me)’.

HEAVY D. & THE BOYZ ‘Mr Big Stuff’ (MCA Records MCAT 1106)
Hottest hip hop of the day, this Andre ‘Dr Jeckyll’ Harrell-produced jerkily jittering 98½bpm rap revolves around Jean Knight’s repeatedly scratched-in 1971 classic of the same name (inst flip).

OLIVER CHEATHAM ‘Celebrate’ (Champion CHAMP 12 25)
Back in typically fine form, traditionally soulful Oliver glides through a Phil Harding mixed satisfying (0-)121bpm wriggly canterer (dub flip), possibly the strongest he’s done since ‘Get Down Saturday Night’.

M.C. SHY-D ‘I’ve Gotta Be Tough’ (US Luke Skyywalker GR-104)
Bragging young Peter Jones sounds far from shy rapping his own praises to a fluidly ticking light (0-)117bpm beat with the scatting from Earth Wind & Fire’s ‘Biyo’ scratched in, the tougher 111⅔bpm ‘We Don’t Play’ flip mixing in the Motown Spinners’ guitar from ‘It’s A Shame’ (instrumental too).

VICIOUS RUMOR CLUB ‘Whole Lotta Love’ (US Sunnyview SUN 447)
Run-DMC’s use of rock guitars was followed by the Beastie Boys borrowing actual Led Zeppelin riffs, the logical conclusion being this 103⅓bpm rap version of Zep’s biggest heavy metal hit! Quite funny if not entirely def (dub flip), it’s a likely crossover.

GENERAL KANE ‘Hairdooz’ (Motown ZT 41034)
George Clinton-esque madly jaunty jiggling 0-106¾-107-0bpm rap ‘n’ chant full of silly voices and fun, flipped by the less danceable sombre 113¼bpm ‘Crack Killed Applejack’ narrative rap about an athlete killed by drugs.

AL JARREAU ‘Tell Me What I Gotta Do’ (WEA U8523TF)
This John Luongo-remixed tortuous gently jiggly 90⅚bpm swayer now it’s properly out is a twin-pack, minus its promoed dub, but with the nasally scatted tensely accelerating 97⅔-101¼bpm ‘Roof Garden’, jazzily skipping 0-113½bpm ‘Easy’ and slinky 86½bpm ‘Distracted’ oldies, all with dramatic vocalese and surging brassy accents.

KENNY G ‘Champagne’ (Arista ARIST 12686)
Pleasant doodling and tootling 105⅙bpm jazz-funk sax instrumental coupled with a sparse 103⅙bpm Kenny Beck remix of ‘What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)’ (plus its original edit) and an also emptier 0-112¾bpm Froggy remix of ‘Hi, How Ya Doin’?’.

CHUCK BROWN & THE SOUL SEARCHERS ‘Family Affair’ (US Future Records & Tapes F-0017)
Chuck’s releases are becoming as predictably frequent as once were that other Brown’s, James, this being a powerful only slightly go go-ed 90-90¾bpm revival of Sly & The Family Stone’s singalong classic, flipped by a 45-0bpm ‘The Christmas Song’ and including a “Santa says nope to dope” poster!

PRIVATE POSSESSION featuring HUNTER HAYES ‘This Time’ (Fourth & Broadway 12BRW 55)
Quietly sneaked out here, this New York-recorded urgently bounding 120⅔bpm skittery house galloper has a strong Colonel Abrams-ish vocal, Darryl Pandy-ish rap and dub mix.

ROSE ROYCE ‘Fresh Cut’ LP (US Omni Records 90557-1)
Mainly for downtempo listening, with the Grover Washington-saxed whispily delicate 82¾bpm ‘Lonely Road’ getting most attention despite the Nick Martinelli-produced Chaka-ish throbbing 100bpm ‘Doesn’t Have To Be This Way’ (their US single) and Arthur Baker-produced similarly purposeful 98bpm ‘If Walls Could Talk’ having some floor potential, these producers and more creating the juddery 109¾ ‘Fighting Chance’, plaintive 94bpm ‘Magic Doll’, cantering 116⅓bpm ‘Listen Up’, Temptations-reviving 0-47½/95bpm ‘Just My Imagination’, sweet 87⅔-0bpm ‘I Found Someone’, soulful slow 28½/57bpm ‘You’re My Peace Of Mind’ and 0-36bpm ‘I Know I’m In The Mood’.

TASHAN ‘Chasin’ A Dream’ (US Def Jam 44-05960)
With echoes of Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have A Dream’ speech, this hypnotically drifting 85½bpm hip hop-blues lament pits moaning writer/producer Tashan Rashad against mournful girls and some acid guitar, but it’s his straightforwardly soulful ‘Got The Right Attitude’ flip that’s proving more accessible, another weaving 85⅔bpm slowie almost duetted with wailingly punctuating Alyson Williams.

THE GAP BAND ‘Gap Band 8’ LP (US Total Experience 2700-1-T)
A lazily assembled set, sweat only being expended on the ‘Big Fun’ hit and the pop star-namechecking attractive brassily building jiggly faster seeming 87⅓-89½bpm ‘Bop B Da B Da Da (How Music Came About)’, their swaying 104½bpm ‘I Owe It To Myself’ possibly even using Prime Time’s original backing track, while others are the Stevie Wonder-ish mushily rolling repetitive 103⅙bpm ‘Don’t Take It Away’, Cameo-rambling 105bpm ‘Get Loose, Get Funky’, swaying wriggly beat-tripping 99⅚bpm ‘Keep Holding On’, slushy 57/28½bpm ‘I Can’t Live Without Your Love’ and 0-28½/57bpm ‘I’ll Always Love You’.

THE SOS BAND ‘Even When You Sleep’ (Tabu 650128 6)
Classy if predictable Jam & Lewis created sultry calm rolling 0-98⅓bpm soul ticker, remixed four ways, cool on import but coinciding now with a UK visit.

MELLAA ‘Free’ (US Dance Floor DF 1209)
Dodgy reissue of Larc Records material, the topside miscredited as Mellaa & Co ‘Be Free’, a certainly mellow old jauntily jogging brassy soulful 96½-95¾-95⅓-96-95¾-95½bpm undulating swayer with unison “shoo da doo da” chants, flipped by two beautiful deep soul smoochers by Walter Jackson/Jerry Butler-like LANIER & CO, the 70⅔-71bpm ‘I Just Got To Have You’ and possibly more familiar 76̿⅓-76½bpm ‘After I Cry Tonight’.

SALT-N-PEPA ‘Beauty And The Beat’ (US Next Plateau NP50053)
The sing-song girl rappers set up a mesmeric 94⅓bpm sultry groove over jittery lurching and scratching electro and human beats, with snatches of Little Stevie Wonder’s ‘Fingertips’ mixed in, flipped by the beefier slightly different 97⅔bpm ‘Part II At Warp Speed’ (both with instrumentals too).

STEVE PARKS ‘Movin’ In The Right Direction’ (US Dance Floor DF-1210)
Of uncertain vintage, this Curtis Mayfield-styled Smokey Robinson-accented flute-tootled nervily jittery 0-108⅓-108¾-110bpm light wriggler is what’s selling a four-tracker that also includes dated treatments of Mary Wells ‘The One Who Really Loves You’ and Drifters’ ‘Under The Boardwalk’.

HEAVY TRAFFIC STARRING “V” ‘Heavy Traffic starring “V”’ LP (US Atlantic 81682-1)
Solid female funk produced by Brian Holland, the chunkily lurching 110bpm ‘Jealousy’ also being on 12 inch, others being the sleazily rolling 91bpm ‘You Can’t Hurt Me No More (It’s Gone With The Wind)’, soulfully saxed 0-98⅔bpm ‘Coming Down With Love’, slightly Madonna-ish 118½bpm ‘If You’re Gonna Mess With Me’, lurching 108bpm ‘Deep In It’, driving 113½bpm ‘Promises In The Dark’, striding 108¼bpm ‘Hand Made Love’, cranking 115¼bpm ‘Let’s Go Crazy (Let’s Get Lost In Love)’, throbbing 108¼bpm ‘SOS (Help Me Boy)’.

LIBRA LIBRA ‘I Like It’ (US Chicago Connection Records CC8601)
Mournfully sung like a less dramatic Darryl Pandy, this effective simple nagging 120½bpm house bounder (in four mixes) has been around a few weeks and after a hi-NRG false start seems to be building into a big one.

CLAUDJA BARRY ‘Down And Counting’ (Epic 650047 6)
Cantering 121¾bpm recent US hi-NRG hit surprisingly getting some soul support here on promo despite being nowhere near “house”, although it does have some amusing Grace Jones-ish lisping put-down lines and catchy male chants (dub flip).

CALIFORNIA EXECUTIVES ‘I Don’t Know Why’ (US Williams Records WR-100)
A must for all Sixties deep soul vocal group freaks, this meandering and crescendoing 0-33⅙/66⅓bpm smoochy soul wailer will wash them with delight, coupled by a shorter version plus the similarly excellent if less stunning 56/28bpm ‘I Can’t Let You Go’ (inst too).

MELBA MOORE with FREDDIE JACKSON ‘A Little Bit More’ (Capitol 12CL 431)
Pleasant enough slushy formularised 0-38½/77bpm radio ballad for standing still to (edit, and more soulful 81⅔bpm ‘When We Touch’ flip). Her album’s much admired 105⅚bpm ‘Falling’ floater is her new US single.

TIMEX SOUL CLUB ‘Mixed Up World’ (Cooltempo COOLX 139)
Phil Harding remixed tedious directionless 111bpm jitterer flipped now for added strength by Dancin’ Danny D’s 103⅚bpm remix of the more ‘Rumors’-like though still not brilliant ‘Thinkin’ About Ya’.

ROBBIE NEVIL ‘C’est La Vie’ (Manhattan 12MTX 14)
Mai Tai-inspired jerky lurcher in two different versions, Arthur Baker’s 102½bpm mix being more straightforward than Michael Brauer’s trickily teasing ambiguous 104bpm beat treatment.
