February 28, 1987: Bruce Willis, Bananarama, Full Circle, Donald Byrd, Gigolo Tony

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

Steve Walsh learnt while at MIDEM that Boris Badenough isn’t having a go at Rocky Jones, in fact ‘Hey Rocky!’ is about TV’s cult cartoon series ‘Rocky And Bullwinkle’, and will be promoed with a new B-side for radio which has the characters’ voices (cut-up Steinski style in the actual record) answering questions left blank for DJs to fill in themselves … 19 releases on Chicago’s Trax Records label, including current stuff, have been compiled on a fast-selling German import LP, ‘Chicago Trax (Volume 1)’ (BCM TX 33-5001-43) – presumably the ‘What’s Up Rocky?’ credited to Boris Betanoff is the same as the above? … Darryl Pandy has done a vocal version of ‘Jack Your Body’, to be called ‘Work Your Body’, for D.J. International Records … Chris Amoo of the Real Thing, as probably everyone knows by now, was the proud owner of Crufts’ Supreme Champion 1987 (we’re talking dogs here), Viscount Grant – commonly called “Gable” … MC Double Def Sef launches A&M’s new dance label Breakout with a lunchtime reception at Soho’s Le Beat Route in Greek Street on Monday, March 9, conveniently sandwiched between the previous day’s International DJ Convention and that evening’s World Final of the Technics DJ Mixing Championships (also conveniently, for out-of-towners, just across the road from Groove Records shop!) … Bathgate’s Bill Grainger (0506-54305), the guy who more than anyone else “broke” Tullio De Piscopo, has started First Class Radio & Club Promotions to plug dance records in Scotland with personal DJ contact (servicing all types of dance music, not just hi-NRG/Eurobeat) … Kool Moe Dee – true to his stance as rap’s caring social worker? – hosts the second annual rap awards this Saturday (28) at New York’s Town Hall, with appearances by such as Salt-n-Pepa, LL Cool J, UTFO, Spoonie Gee, Doug E Fresh, Oran ‘Juice’ Jones, Stetsasonic … Kurtis Blow is currently guest presenter of Saturday morning kids’ TV on the US NBC network! … Damon Rochefort’s involvement as producer of Junior Gee & The ‘A’ Team actually extends to being the impersonator of Arnold Schwarzenegger, recreating all ‘The Terminator’ (and Dalek!) dialogue himself … Breakfast Club, reviewed last week, turns out to be the “nom de disque” of Madonna’s frequent collaborator Stephen Bray, so it’s surprising he hasn’t concocted something a bit sharper for himself … I know, I know: the jazz tune synched under Salt-n-Pepa ‘My Mike Sounds Nice’ is Grover Washington Jr ‘Mr Magic’ – incidentally, the girls’ UK-only 0-91⅔bpm remix will be on Champion here March 10 … Nitro Deluxe, were the UK pressing and original import similar enough in format to be combined in the chart, would have been top Disco hit since two weeks ago … John Rocca’s ‘I Want It To Be Real’ may have always meant something in Chicago but even its Ultimate Mix ’87 (not due on CityBeat for nearly a month) still seems unlikely to mean much here in its main (0-)122-122½bpm Club Vocal, although the total instrumental 121⅔-121¾bpm Farley’s Hot House Piano Mix is self-descriptive and could find takers … Arthur Baker while here has produced a secret project for Champion … ‘(You’re My) Shining Star’ is Curtis Hairston’s new US release … Dennis Edwards, still recording solo too, has rejoined the Temptations … Livewire/Top Hat on Saturday, March 14, start a monthly soul and jazz night amidst the shark tanks at Brighton Aquarium, dubbed “the night that bites back!”, with Chris Hill, Robbie Vincent, Pete Tong, Gilles Peterson, Paul Clark, Big H and Froggy, in two music rooms … Livewire (01-364 1212) at their four day Easter weekender in Prestatyn have added to the DJ bill Paul Oakenfold, Chris Forbes, CJ McKintosh (Chad Jackson is booked anyway, plus hopefully Jazzy Jeff, and now maybe Atlantic Starr) … London’s ebullient soul jock CJ Carlos had better keep a higher profile if he doesn’t want his once distinctive initials to become more synonymous with Mixing champ CJ McKintosh! … Larry Foster of Gants Hill Villa has spent the last year preparing a Music Quiz for East London, weekly heats beginning on March 18 at Walthamstow’s The Lorne Arms, entry forms being available in advance from him on 04023-75059 … Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers play three nights at Kentish Town’s Town And Country Club, March 26/27/28 … Thursday this week (26), Paul Williams, Mike Knight and Alan Coles support go go-funk group Bustin’ Loose at Georgetown’s The Kirkhouse, Merthyr Tydfil, while Chris Brown, Chris Bangs and Simon Dunmore jazz-soul the Rhythm Zone at Northolt’s C&L Country Club (just off the A40 south of the Polish War Memorial) … Friday (27) Joe Field, Bob Masters, Chris Bangs, Bob Cosby and Dave Ealand fill two rooms with soul and jazz at Hemel Hempstead’s Heath Park … Saturday (28) Jasper, Norman Jay and Martin Drake have a Seventies Funk Attack at Hackney’s Shen-Ola Nightclub, while Kev Hill souls Great Yarmouth Mole Club … Eon Irving funks London West End’s Munkberrys Wednesdays … Andy Baker funks Fridays at Bangor’s hi-tech Octagon (on a par, equipment-wise he reckons, with the Hippodrome) … Bishop Stortford’s Juicy Duck is undergoing a complete £30,000 facelift (which would probably buy a few new pygmy bulbs for the Hippodrome!), much to the delight of Les Knott and his fellow jocks … Mecca, as well as aggressively recruiting new DJs around the country, have revamped Bolton’s Cinderella Rockerfellas into the new Ritzy (with a Central Park brasserie), while Tiffanys in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Dunstable are being renovated … Paul Frettingham soon becomes a real VJ, as well as DJ at Nottingham’s Central Park/Ritzy, where an actual TV studio will transmit closed circuit programmes of videos and PAs to the club’s 34 screens … Jackie Becker (Brighton Escape Club Mon/Savannah Club Tues/The Crypt Thurs) tips that Candido ‘Jingo’ mixes well with ‘Jack The Groove’ and ‘Jack Your Body’, plus Quando Quango ‘Genius’ is good with such as ‘It’s OK, It’s OK’ and ‘IMNXTC’ … Stacey Q ‘We Connect’ topped US 12 Inch Sales, Madonna ‘Open Your Heart’ and then Mel & Kim ‘Showing Out’ topped Club Play in Billboard – whose US Black Singles Chart, now once again printed in rm, is not in fact a reflection of the dance singles that are selling, but of the singles being played by black-orientated “urban” radio … DJs are still not supporting the Eurobeat chart in significant enough numbers yet they continually whinge that it isn’t truly representative of what’s really big in their clubs – so who’ve they got to blame? … ILLIN’ ‘N’ CHILLIN’!

HOT VINYL

BRUCE WILLIS ‘Respect Yourself’ (Motown ZT 41118)
With the part of Mavis played by June Pointer in dominating support, the star of TV’s ‘Moonlighting’ tackles the Staples Singers’ classic in similar 118⅓-0bpm style. Bruce is actually promoting his album ‘The Return Of Bruno’ with a half hour video hosted by Dick Clark as if in the US TV series ‘Rock Heroes’ (like ‘Portrait Of A Superstar’), tracing through hilariously accurate period pastiches and dozens of superstar interview clips the supposed career since the mid-Sixties of Bruno Radolini, supplying this his singing alter ego with an instant mythic past. See it if you can!

BANANARAMA ‘Trick Of The Night’ (London NANX 12)
You’d never know from hearing the dreary seven inch pop version, but for the 12 inch its producers Stock-Aitken-Waterman and mixer Phil Harding have revived their old trick, making the first half of this (0-)105½bpm jiggler sound exactly like Princess’s ‘Say I’m Your Number One’, instrumental for ages before any real vocal begins! (A separate strictly promo pressing hasn’t any vocal at all, in dub and instrumental versions, for collectors). Now that DJs are discovering this, the flip’s house-ish (0-)117¾bpm ‘Set On You‘ is helping sell it, too.

FULL CIRCLE ‘Workin’ Up A Sweat’ (EMI America 12EA 229)
Massive on import but worth buying again now, the Randy Muller-produced Lutheran soul vocal group’s piano underscored jittery roller here is without the 109-108¾bpm Special Sweaty Mix‘s offputtingly electro intro and has a new mellower 108¾bpm Album Version, just the 108bpm Dub Version being still in schizoid original form, with juddery edits. Class, more than crossover.

DONALD BYRD ‘Change (Makes You Want To Hustle)’ (Domino Records DOM 5T, via Charly)
Timely reissue, coinciding with its use by Jazzy Jeff in ‘Touch Of Jazz‘, of the sinuously chugging 107⅓-106-105⅓-106-105⅔bpm jazz-funk chanter (evidently for the first time ever on 12 inch), coupled with the languidly drifting 106-105-103-104⅓-104⅔-103-102⅓-103-102-101⅓bpm ‘(Fallin’ Like) Dominoes‘, from the same 1975 studio album.

GIGOLO TONY ‘Fatrome’ (US 4-Sight FS-12-86-16)
All sorts of stuff gets scratched by DJ Cut through this def 110½bpm Florida answer to fat boy rap, amusingly worded with the Coasters’ “why is everybody always pickin’ on me” adopted from ‘Charlie Brown’ at the hook line, plus there’s more to recognise in a 0-121¾bpm rap version of the ‘Hoki Poki‘ — yup, the ‘Hokey Cokey’! — that’s well worth checking (instrumentals too).

MICRON ‘EastEnders’ (SG 045)
Simon May’s TV theme tune gets scratched in, with Whistle’s ‘Just Buggin’’, as the deftly cut (0-)105⅙bpm hip hop backing to a Smiley Culture-ish rap about the denizens of Albert Square and the times during the week that you can watch them, not at all gimmicky, on an unidentified white label (with an untitled 106⅚bpm ‘Set It Off’-ish instrumental in two mixes as flip). Luge and legal?

KING SUN-D MOET ‘Hey Love’ (US Zakia Records ZK 020)
Co-produced by Cut Master DC, this lazily drawled sinuous 86½-0bbpm jiggler sounds intriguingly different, with its realistic conversational rap (including a ‘phone call) addressing the girl who also loves the guy’s brother. Although there’s no actual singing, it has a flavour of ‘The Rain’ and could prove a grower, with a more routinely declamatory 89bpm ‘Mythological Rapper‘ flip (both in three versions).

MORRIS RENTIE. JR. ‘Please Make Me Scream’ (US PM Plutonium Records 2704-1-TPD)
Although officially the plodding 104⅚-0bpm P’funk instrumental ‘Do It, Jam Jam‘ is A-side (edit too), everyone is flipping for this far better lightly wriggly swaying 114⅔bpm instrumental instead (extended dub mix too), datedly soulful even if vocal-less, with tinkling steel drums and washing synths like a classy backing track from around six years ago, say. A shame in fact it lacks a voice.

KELLEY CHARLES ‘Release Me’ (US Let’s Go Records LG60011)
Kelley’s a girl, thinly wailing a bass boosted loosely bounding 120½bpm beefy skipper that’s not strictly house but obviously fits, especially in its two B-side mixes.

JACKIE WILSON ‘(I Get The) Sweetest Feeling’ (SMP SKM 121)
Tappingly extended and overdubbed into a new 125⅕bpm Valentine Mix or left alone in its dynamically surging original 124¾-125½bpm version, the classic 1968 soul swinger is flipped by 1958’s rippling 136½-141 bpm ‘Lonely Teardrops’ and 1966’s now nastily fake stereo 119-120-121¼bpm ‘Whispers (Gettin’ Louder)’.

HUMPHREY LYTTELTON & HIS BAND ‘Bad Penny Blues’ (Calligraph Records CLGS 701, via PRT)
An odd inclusion maybe but previously rare and well worth finding as it’s terrifically rhythmic, this George Martin-produced piano and muted trumpet played 114-115¼-116bpm infectious boogie instrumental in 1956 was the first top 20 hit in the trad jazz boom (which was then overshadowed by its own skiffle offshoot before resurfacing in 1960 via the more commercial Acker Bilk and Kenny Ball), real party music, only on seven inch.

WORLD PARTY ‘World Groove (Do The Mind Guerilla)’ (Ensign ENYX 606)
Warehouse and Sixties funk type DJs beware, this B-side to the ‘Ship Of Fools‘ pop hit is an excellent 121¼bpm recreation of the Jr Walker ‘Shotgun‘ style!

SCOTT & RAVEN ‘The Monkey Paw (A New Dance Kraze)’ (US Columbia 44-06009)
Clintonesque nice timeless infectious sleazily rolling 99bpm P’funk with a sly smile in the voices and much atmospheric repartee from the entourage, flipped by the more artful and less compulsive (0-)105⅓bpm ‘My Ride‘ (edits too).

PRINCE ‘Sign ‘O’ The Times’ (Paisley Park W8399T)
Emptily tapping and jiggling 99bpm sinuously strung out funk with Dylanesque lyrics, flipped by the breezily freewheeling 117½bpm ‘La, La, La, He, He, Hee‘ punctuated with rhythmic barks by a purple atomic dog, both typically idiosyncratic.

CLUB NOUVEAU ‘Lean On Me (Remix)’ (Warner Bros/King Jay Records W8430T)
Timex Social Club creator Jay King’s current Club revives Bill Withers’ classic at an initially tricky emphasis shifting (0-)88⅔bpm jerky almost go go-ish tempo (in four versions), violently lurching and spurting but powerful once familiar, the flip’s ‘Pump It Up‘ Reprises being more in rap style and much chunkier for floors.

THE FLY BOYS ‘The New Style (Fly Style)’ (US Beastie Records FX-1111)
The Beastie Boys’ own 0-98-0-77bpm backing now gets an outrageously filthy, truly juvenile but very funny “crunch rap” vocal reworking, totally about genitalia and the things you can do with it! It has to be the dirtiest record I have ever heard – and that’s a recommendation.

RUN-D.M.C. ‘It’s Tricky’ (US Profile PRO-7131)
Similar in tempo to ‘You Be Illin’’, this stark stuttery thudding 127¾bpm rap jerker has been remixed by Shep Pettibone in four versions, the Club Mix seguing into a 126½bpm introduction to the then separate 126¼bpm ‘Uptempo‘, a previously unreleased bass-bounced sparse short sorta hip hop jack track (plus there’s the LP’s angry 85bpm ‘Proud To Be Black’).

SHOKK ‘Lock Me Out’ (Polydor POSPX 851)
Promoed for ages but still not due for nearly two weeks, the guy and girl’s sparsely backed semi-dialogue introed cleanly tapping 113½bpm blandly lightweight UK pop-soul swinger is pleasant enough if fairly unremarkable (inst/edit flip).

CLUBHOUSE ORCHESTRA ‘Jump Right On The Case’ (US 4th + B’way BWAY-435)
Alan George & Fred McFarlane-created frantic superficial 123½ house with all the clichés that we know only too well but maybe they don’t, the more jack track-ish Dub trucking quite excitingly if a bit busily.

GANGSTERS OF HOUSE ‘Let’s Play House’ (US Obscure Records OB-003)
Butchly groaning and hollering 117¼bpm house co-produced by hi-NRG specialist Bobby O – America’s Ian Levine! – a bit too corny to be real (dubbier 118bpm Other Version).

CHAKK ‘Take Your Time (Earth Calling)’ (Fon FON 1-6)
Not to be confused with the pop vocal ‘Timebomb‘ version (on FON T6), this drily percussive basically instrumental 0-122-0bpm jack track has been mixed by DJ Chakk specifically to fit the house rhythm (with three variations as flip), primarily for mixers, kinda Frankie Goes To Chicago.

C.J.’S UPTOWN CREW ‘It’s Good To Go Drug Free’ (US Gotta Go-Go Records CS-7118)
Washington DC’s anti-drugs message is maybe mainly for collectors, an all-star 100bpm go go jiggler including such as a doctor, kids and a crying baby, plus locals like Little Benny getting down most on the Go Go Get ‘Em Mix (by far the best of three versions, with sustained proper vocal attack).

FATS COMET ‘Rockchester’ (World Records WR006, via 01-888 8949)
The guys who were Sugarhill’s house band — Keith LeBlanc, Skip McDonald and Doug Wimbush, with techno producer Adrian Sherwood — on this Art Of Noise-ish stark busy 109⅕bpm electro judderer sound a bit dated by today’s hip hop standards (109bpm ‘O.K. Bye!‘ B-side variation).

MR. WAVE ‘The King’ (US Real Records/Macola Record Co MRC-0975)
T. La Rock co-created jittery 95⅙bpm rap which seems just boringly bragging until Louie Lou suddenly scratches like a tweety bird (four versions).

GREGORY ABBOTT ‘I Got The Feelin’ (It’s Over)’ (CBS ABB QT2)
Wrapped in a giant poster for bedroom walls, the slim soulster hits the same spine tingling notes in the same way as before but on not so strong a song, a plodding 0-89⅔-0bpm sparse slow jolter (inst too) flipped superfluously by the original 94½-0bpm ‘Shake You Down’.

TERENCE TRENT D’ARBY ‘If You Let Me Stay’ (CBS TRENT T1)
Gospel based expatriate New Yorker launched here with a tapping and tumbling jerky 99⅓bpm jitterer through which he talks then larynx searingly screams in datedly soulful style, certainly different (and rather rawly mixed) for 1987, getting most response on radio.
