December 6, 1986: Bobby Womack, Schoolly-D, Mantronix, Level 42, Tashan

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

THE CREATIVE marketing of Loose Ends continues, another version of their 12 inch (Virgin VS 919-13) now featuring Nick Martinelli’s ‘Nights Of Pleasure’ mix and ‘Let’s Rock‘, as before, plus commercially at last Dancin’ Danny D’s slippery 102⅔bpm ‘Slow Down’ remix, and a brand new group-created wriggly bubbling 101⅔bpm ‘Johnny Broadhead‘ instrumental … Georgie Fame ‘Samba’ has been totally remixed by Phil Harding into an excellent 103bpm Ipanema Beach Party Mix (Ensign ENYR 605), incorporating brief quotes from ‘Yeh Yeh’, ‘Tequila’, The Girl From Ipanema’ and more in the lengthened new intro, with whistles and many extra effects, plus Mondo Kane’s ‘New York Afternoon’ added to the flip, but unfortunately it’s too late to convince chart-watchers there’s a samba revival going on and may not now be fully available … Phil Fearon ‘Ain’t Nothing But A House Party’ is similarly too late in a far fiercer electronically attacking 123bpm Fun’Kim-Mel Remix (Ensign PFW-2), mainly instrumental and truly house … Five Star ‘lf I Say Yes’ has been given an angrier 121bpm Shep Pettibone Urban Remix (Tent PT 40982R) … ‘Top Of The Pops’ next year starts being syndicated on US TV, with another Los Angeles-recorded American half-hour added to make an hour long weekly programme — but, as it’s being promoted as a “rock” show, and will be edited to include archive material and rock interviews, you can bet the bits left on the cutting room floor will be all the black hits which we as a nation enjoy and the US pop market is thus still denied … Luther Vandross topped US Black LPs, JM Silk Club Play, Dead Or Alive 12 Inch Sales in Billboard … US West End’s reissue of Bombers ‘Everybody Get Dancin’‘/Betty LaVette ‘Doin’ The Best That I Can‘ includes a condom shrink-wrapped to it — obviously the label’s doing its bit to combat AIDS! … Cameo’s ‘Candy’ remix in the US is being flipped by ‘She’s Strange’ … Alan Randall’s typically accurate recreations of George Formby’s ukulele-plunking oldies get medleyed in a scratch mix (really!) created by Nomis Sirrah, better known for his Cisum Fo Efil label through Evawteerts, who’s formed a new less “street” Superb outlet for the seasonally useful and well made 117¾-118¼-0bpm result, ‘’Ooked On Formby‘ (Superb FORMB 1), the 12 inch House Mix of which I’ve yet to hear! … ‘Street Sounds 19‘ is prettily packaged as an advent calendar (a common trend this year), window number five concealing the only photo featured, of Morgan Khan as Santa! … Ken ‘B’ Brudenell has stopped DJing to become DJ/Record Promotions Manager for Mecca Entertainments … Hank Ballard & The Midnighters are live next Thursday (11) at Hammersmith Palais: a black superstar of the Fifties and founding father of soul, Hank adapted Clyde McPhatter & The Drifters’ ‘What’cha Gonna Do‘ into his 1959 original version of ‘The Twist‘, for which he is now rather better known … Richard Searling’s “quiet storm” soul show will indeed be back on Preston’s Red Rose Radio, every Sunday 7-9pm from January 11 now … Steve Allen retains his long standing Saturday 7-9pm Hereward Radio soul show but has dropped his Thursday evening slot … Lowestoft’s Steve Ogley (0502-60364) is looking for a Norwich/Ipswich area venue in which to run a weekly house/funk/rap night … Andrew Holmes house/funk/raps Ashton-under-Lyme Birch Hotel’s Madhatter Wednesdays (just 50p), and reckons Duke Bootee ‘Broadway‘ shares rhythm tracks with Word Of Mouth featuring DJ Cheese ‘Coast To Coast‘ – quite likely, since Duke manages Cheese! … Chad Jackson says he’s been using the ‘Jungle Book’ mix since his time at Manchester’s Hacienda, long before the Disco Mixing championships, and anyway synchs it with a different track to the one used by Jon Davis — Jon meanwhile has quit Cornwall to John ‘Curly’ Marlowe at Plymouth’s Academy … Bournemouth’s “spectacular new” Clouds opens Thursday (4), while Welling’s Station disco pub has had a complete revamp … Robbie Nevil ‘C’Est La Vie’ on commercial copies features just Arthur Baker’s remix (and a dub), plus the pop 0-124½bpm ‘Time Waits For No One‘ … George Benson’s ‘Shiver’ seems aptly titled with all the chillin’ going on around it in the Disco chart, not only ‘ Chillin’ Out’ and ‘I’m Chillin’’, but also of course one of the most memorable lines from ‘The Rain’ is “I chilled” … Oran ‘Juice’ Jones having really taken off, how about someone investigating the import answer versions by Miss Thang and Leot Littlepage? … KEEP CHILLIN’!

HOT VINYL

BOBBY WOMACK ‘Womagic’ LP (MCA Records MCG 6020)
Largely recorded in Memphis with veteran producer Chips Momon, the super-soulster’s eagerly anticipated set is more for fireside listening with little to have truly lasting impact on dance floors, apart maybe from the typically surging (0-)116bpm ‘Can’tcha Hear The Children Calling’ and pulsing tender 100bpm ‘The Things We Do (When We’re Lonely)‘. His vintage Sixties-style 64¼bpm revival of the Masqueraders’ I Ain’t Got To Love Nobody Else‘ (the Tommy Cogbill-produced original remains one of my all-time faves), acoustic 0-51⅓/102⅔-103⅔bpm ‘When The Weekend Comes’, gentle (0-)99/49½-100⅓bpm ‘More Than Love’, plodding US single 86-87½bpm ‘(I Wanna) Make love To You’, soulfully doodling c21½bpm ‘I Can’t Stay Mad’, convoluted 0-112½bpm ‘It Ain’t Me’, and dead slow starting 0-39/78bpm ‘Outside Myself’ won’t disappoint fans, though.

SCHOOLLY-D ‘Saturday Night (X Rated)’ (US Schoolly-D Records SD-115)
Charted on import almost before the ink of our interview was dry, here’s the new rap he mentioned, a busily scratched (0-)99⅔bpm wiggly jitterer with enough foul mouthing amidst its mixture of nursery rhyme and drug attack to earn an “X” rating (radio version and instrumental too), while the dirtily bragging 0-103⅔-0bpm ‘Do It Do It!‘ repeatedly cuts in ‘Who’s Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf’.

MANTRONIX ‘Music Madness’ LP (10 Records DIX 50)
Hot hip hop without anything screaming out to be a single, liveliest being the rapid-fire rapped and whistled 99-0bpm ‘Electronic Energy Of…’, tunefully unison chanted go go hip hop 0-101⅓bpm ‘Scream’, and ‘Stone Fox Chase’-harmonica-ed 0-98bpm ‘Listen To The Bass Of Get Stupid Fresh Part II’, this latter repeated as the early basis of a 0-98⅓-101⅔-99⅔-0bpm ‘Mega Mix’. Their reported Forties big band foray finds echoes of ‘Sing Sing Sing’ in the 105¼bpm ‘Big Band B-Boy’, the 99bpm ‘Who Is It’, 103bpm ‘We Control The Dice’ and 92bpm title track completing a set whose initial sales have been on import.

LEVEL 42 ‘World Machine (Shep Pettibone Remix)’ (US Polydor 885 471-1)
Without any new product to plug on their current tour, this long popular tense and dense racing jitterer (which I concede still gives them a jazz-funk toe-hold, unlike their pop-rock hits) has had an exciting 0-113⅔bpm Shep Pettibone remix flipped by a useful more immediate mainly instrumental dub. How long before it’s out here?

TASHAN ‘Chasin’ A Dream’ LP (US Def Jam BFC 40289)
Tashan Rashad follows Oran ‘Juice’ Jones in the hip hop label’s new emphasis shift towards soul with traditional values, co-writing/producing a classy debut set on which however the already reviewed single’s sides stay the standouts, the Alyson Williams-duetted weaving 85⅔bpm ‘Got The Right Attitude’ and Martin Luther King-introed hypnotically drifting Marvin Gaye-ish 105¼bpm ‘Thank You Father’, tenderly swaying 83bpm ‘So Much In Love’, throbbing jittery 101bpm ‘Read My Mind’, jiggly mournful 104⅔bpm ‘Strung Out On You’, doodling slow 70bpm ‘I Don’t Ever’, 79bpm ‘Love Is…’, 84½-0bpm ‘If Words Can Express…’, 79½bpm ‘Ooh We Baby’.

MR. FINGERS ‘Can You Feel It’ (US Trax Records TX127)
Larry Heard-created, these instrumental jack trax seem more than mere ‘house’, washing synth tones adding surface substance to this almost ‘jazz-funk’ 116bpm loper and the jerkier 116¾bpm ‘Beyond The Clouds’, while the brightly bounding 117½bpm ‘Washing Machine’ sounds like it’s played on electronic drains and is the only typically Chicago track.

FINGERS, INC ‘It’s Over’ (US Underground UN-110)
Created by Larry Heard with mournful vocals by Robert Owens, this purposefully pumping subdued smooth 118bpm house bounder has an equally vocal 118⅕bpm dub, plus as flipside variations the more urgent 0-125bpm ‘All-Over’ and 124⅓bpm dub (acappella too). By the time it’s all over, you really do know “it’s all over”!

SANTOS ‘Work The Box’ (US Trax Records TX126)
Adonis-produced basic jack trax, the main Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley/Raze-style repetitive 120½bpm vocal locomoting like a train, with 121bpm ‘Work Me Trax’ bonus beats, flipped by the Frankie Knuckles-mixed bassier 120½bpm ‘Beat The Knuckles’ and instrumental 121½bpm ‘Space The Box’. Jack the house!

GEORGE HOWARD ‘A Nice Place To Be’ LP (US MCA Records MCA-5855)
Innocuous jazz-funk primarily for listening, with the funkily skipping if inconsequential 118bpm ‘Stanley’s Groove’ co-penned/played by Stanley Clarke, others with a beat being the pleasantly wriggling 100bpm ‘Nice Place To Be’, sinuous bumpily swaying 103bpm ‘No No’, (his US single), this and the crooning cool 93⅓bpm ‘Let’s Live In Harmony’ (amongst others) featuring the multi-instrumentalist’s own vocals, while the mandatory crossover cover version is of Sade’s meandering 46/92bpm ‘Sweetest Taboo’.

GIVENS FAMILY ‘Someway, Somehow’ (US PJ Records PJ 2544)
“You say what”, a scolding girl asks as soon as the beat begins, “I can’t get a guy?” Well, she lets us know she’s gonna get her boy someway, somehow on a soulfully wailed if slightly inconclusive Amir Bayyan-produced 114¾-115bpm dated wriggly spurter with jazzy sax and Latin percussion breaks (inst/edit too), about for a while but not widely available.

WORSE ‘EM ‘Triple M Bass’ (US Profile PRO-7122)
Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Star Spangled Banner’ starts a jolting jittery 0-98⅓-0bpm gangster rock rap ‘n’ scratch with some punchy isolated bass beats, aptly enough, and lyrics that get into hip hop’s history (inst flip). Who spoke the “Cockney” outro?

NEW EDITION ‘Earth Angel’ (MCA Records MCAT 1103)
From ‘Karate Kid II’, this youthfully yearning 73⅔bpm affectionate remake of the Penguins’ 1954 doo wop classic has now prompted a whole LP of similar tributes.

KRYSTOL ‘Precious, Precious’ (Epic 650255 6)
Pleasantly warbled though not particularly distinctive swaying slow 71¼bpm remake of Jackie Moore’s soul oldie (I think), flipped by the sharply lurching (0-)121¼bpm ‘He’s So Jive’ and the girls’ eternal 107⅔bpm ‘After The Dance Is Through’.

M.C. MIKER “G” & DEEJAY SVEN ‘Celebration Rap’ (Debut DEBTX 3014)
Following their disastrous ‘Top Of The Pops’ performance of ‘Holiday Rap’, the phonetic Euro-Wallies will have problems putting over this Nigel Wright-produced 118⅔bpm Sister Sledge/Kool And The Gang-medleying ‘We Are Family/Celebration’ rap.

ZUSHII ‘Surprise, Surprise’ (Debut DEBTX 3005)
Nigel Wright-produced intermittently girl-sung pleasant jittery laid-back little 101¼bpm wriggler with nice sax, and 105bpm ‘Let’s Stay Home Tonight’ flip, out for months but repeatedly spurting into sales life.

DARLENE DAVIS ‘I Found Love (Remix)’ (US Take One Record Co TOR-1-1001)
Eventually easing out of a digitally cut-up “true love can be hard to find” intro, Doreen’s soul sister wails a datedly rambling 115¼-115½-115-114¾-114¼-114bpm disco burbler with further digital overlays and edits, dressing up something I don’t remember but which sounds like an oldie (edit, dub and house mix too).

TAMIKO JONES ‘I Want You’ (Detail Records 12DETAIL2, via Pinnacle)
Marvin Gaye’s old US hit becomes a sultry subdued 101⅔bpm groin grinder, sensually sighed and breathed (inst flip), which deserved to do better on import.

D.J. SCOTT LA ROCK – BLASTMASTER K.RS. ONE & D-NICE ‘South Bronx’ (Streetwave MHKAN 77)
James Brown-cutting stark specialist 94⅚bpm rap interestingly telling a strictly local history of hip hop with some humour, if you listen to the words (inst too), while the “P” in the flip’s sparser 87bpm reggae toasting-style ‘The “P” is Free’ is “Pussy”. Hmm…

STEINSKI & MASS MEDIA ‘We’ll Be Right Back’ (US 4th + B’way BWAY-434)
Long notorious for the still much sought quintessential cut-up ‘Lessons’ he created with erstwhile partner Double Dee, the now solo Steve Stein at last has his first fully legal single, cutting up catchphrases and clichés from TV commercials to a jittery 0-100⅔bpm Full Force-type beat (dub/edit/bonus beats too). ‘The Payoff Mix’ it ain’t, lacking variety, and although obviously clever it actually gets a bit tiresome.

BARRY UPTON ‘Ask The DJ’ (DMC Records DECK 123, via Arista)
Possibly too corny for serious hip hop attention, although the flip’s alternative version by Uncle Funk is much harder, this Les Adams-mixed craftily catchy 100⅔-0bpm rapping and chanting jaunty theme song for DJs is by Hammersmith Palais’ resident jock (once in Brotherhood Of Man, which might make sense of a recent cryptic comment!).
