June 13, 1987: Jackson Sisters, First Choice, The Beginning Of The End, Bobby Caldwell, Eric B. and Rakim

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

Now it can more or less be told, although it’s still pretty garbled: 2 Puerto Ricans are Robert Clivilis and David Morales, a Blackman is David Cole and a Dominican is Chep Nunez, who certainly assembled the current ‘Do It Properly’ and had a part to play in the originally available version too, although it was DJ Bruce Forest at New York’s Better Days who evidently first mixed up Adonis ‘No Way Back’ live in the club, using his keyboards and other jack tracks to create a mix (which either inspired or was inspired by an original demo cassette of ‘Do It Properly’ by the 2PRABAAD), Bruce’s mix then being recreated by some unnamed parties and bootlegged on Fierce Records under the name we know — and as the bootleg uses so many tracks already licensed by London, it can co-exist now to Adonis (featuring 2 Puerto Ricans A Blackman And A Dominican) alongside the totally original vocal recording which Cooltempo has rush released (see its review for more details) … I’m afraid gathering the threads of this story has taken so long that, although many BPMs are done, I haven’t time to complete the reviews this week of such currently hot albums as (on import) Regina Belle, The O’Jays, Nancy Wilson (the latter mainly for a great swinging version of Robert Brookins’ ‘If You Only Knew’), and (out here) Whitney Houston, LL Cool J, Schoolly-D, the Isley Brothers, and the latest ‘Rob Olson’s Chicago Jackbeat Vol Two‘ – check the chart as usual for Beats Per Minute of those that hit … ‘Hey Love’ by King Sun-D Moet (which turns out to be the name of two separate blokes, King Sun and D-Moet) has now been reacquired here by Flame Records for, in a one-off deal, full distribution by Priority/RCA to maximise its hit potential … MCA Records has reissued last autumn’s very soulfully sung mesmerically rolling 104pbm One Way ‘Don’t Think About It‘ (MCAT 1097), never as big as it should have been … Syncopate snapped up Lanier & Co ‘Dancing In The Night’ … Morgan Khan, undaunted by previous experiences, is preparing to launch a fortnightly hip hop newsletter called Rumors on subscription only to purchasers of the StreetSounds Hip Hop/Electro LP series, plus he’s mulling over renewed plans for a UK Fresh 87 show after all — while Morgan’s brother Henry Khan has formed his own Intouch label … Mike Rice’s previously mentioned local Bucks and Berks mixing competition at Downley’s Masters has had such a large number of cassettes entered since we published it that the date of the final has been put right back until September! … Les Adams and Pascal Gabriel have created an ‘election special’ 122bpm house record, The House Of Commons ‘Join The Party’, using samples of all the leading politicos plus various news readers and a vocal by Sharon Dee Clarke. Although played off tape on radio it was too late even for rush release, so will be updated and made more general with the inclusion of international figures like Ronald Reagan for commercial release … MCA’s compilation LP of oldies by the Whispers, Shalamar, Collage and Midnight Star, ‘The Solar System‘ (Solar MCG 3338) includes a bonus 12 inch with two Les Adams megamixes, as neat as ever … Lillo Thomas ‘I’m In Love’ is now in yet another snickety snapping 114¼bpm remix (Capitol 12CLX 450) with ‘Sexy Girl’ added to the flip, while other remixes include the 121¾bpm Kenny ‘Jammin’ Jason ‘Can U Dance’ (Champion CHAMPX 1241), impact lessening 111½bpm Black Britain ‘Funky Nassau’ (10 Records TENR 171), and the now wickedly Mel & Kim-sampling far more useful 120bpm Rick and Lisa ‘When You Gonna (The Borough Anarchy Mix)‘ (RCA RICK MEL 1) — the Borough in South London being where Pete Waterman’s studio is … Rose Royce did a live ‘playback’ gig at Swansea’s Martha’s Vineyard last week during Jeff Thomas’s Monday soul night, and to say the place was packed would be an understatement — had there been rafters they’d have been swinging from them, and in fact I saw the queue before I saw the club! — the soul policy now being extended to Fridays as well and Jeff being joined both nights by The Bean … Thomas & Taylor are in Swansea this coming Monday (15), and a bit further east the following night at Bridgend’s Astons for James Lewis’s Tuesday night —this new club, with a wine bar below (in which Gerald Holley spins listening soul) is reminiscent of Walkers in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, being owned by some business-minded local soul fans … Gerald Holley is also taking soul through the valleys on Wednesdays at Merthyr Tydfil’s Charbonniers and Saturdays at Aberdare’s Deckers … Alan Christo is now DJ/promotions manager and looking for PAs at Cardiff’s Jacksons (on 0443-740557) … lain Bruce’s Saturday soul show on Cardiff’s Red Dragon Radio since he took it over last July has increased its audience by 450 per cent to be double the weekly evening figures, and has extended as a consequence to three hours, 6-9pm — some minority interest programme, huh? … Martin Collins on the other hand, due to some misreading of the recent audience figures at Chiltern Radio, was in danger of having his weekday evening soul show replaced by pop until public outcry prompted a re-examination of the figures, which actually showed he had a massive 90 per cent of the available audience at that time! … Dave Treharne’s more esoteric That’s Why They Call It The Blues R&B show on DevonAir picked up figures and for the summer now runs 7-9pm on Thursdays … Nottingham’s def dude Graeme Park in fact is involved with a new black music label that’s about to be launched called Submission Records, and is building a mailing list at 22 Birkin Avenue, Nottingham NG7 5AF — he’s also back (with coach party details on 0602-476888) at Streatham’s Project at Zigis this Friday (June 12), and has started weekly on Mondays in Derby at the new 20th Century Club … Aurra have become Deja, produced by Monte Moir … Saché, whose groin-grinding ‘Help Me To Get Over The Hurt‘ (US Atlantic) sold quite well without hitting any DJs’ charts, turns out to be an actual group, a trio of rather attractive girls in the Expose-cum-Stacy Lattisaw mould … The Cover Girls ‘Show Me‘ has generated some interest as it was used in his mix at the Albert Hall by US champ Joe Rodriguez … Kid ‘N’ Play and Heavy D and the Boyz’ newies both namecheck BMW, obviously the B Boys’ favourite wheels (me myself, I’ve just bought a Nissan Silvia 1.8 Turbo — real acceleration at last!) … LAH DEE DAH DEE!

HOT VINYL

JACKSON SISTERS ‘I Believe In Miracles’ (Urban URBX 4)
Other than that somebody chose to bootleg it along with Maceo & The Macks, quite why this ‘Shaft’-influenced vocally Latin-flavoured spirited brassy jiggler from 1973 should now be considered a ‘rare groove’ is a mystery as it’s no better than many other forgotten tracks of similar vintage — which suddenly conjures up the vision of sharp London operators scouring American record stores and warehouses for all the oldies that their Northern Soul predecessors ignored! Horrors! Anyway, it’s certainly good, and probably fresher sounding now than it was then, Simon Harris having brilliantly re-edited a brand new 107⅓-107⅔-107-108-107⅓-107-108bpm Extended Mix which emphasises the previously rushed rhythm elements to bring out their soulful qualities (and a hidden James Brown flavour), for fascination comparison with the included 108-108⅔-109-108⅔bpm original 7” Version (the equally dated pleasant 72bpm ‘Why Can’t We Be More Than Just Friends‘ and Jackson 5/Honey Cone-type 99-97½-98bpm ‘Boy, You’re Dynamite‘ complete this package).

FIRST CHOICE ‘Let No Man Put Asunder (Special Dutch Mix)’ (Dutch Rams Horn RHR 3609)
Due here coupled with the Salsoul original on June 22 and already white-labelled by Serious Records, this Philadelphia-recorded disco oldie was a big influence on Chicago’s house music (compare the bass line with ‘Jack Your Body’!) although even in this disjointedly rambling 0-122-117½-118½-118- 121½-122½-122-119-121-0bpm new remix by Rutger ‘Rutti’ Kroese it’s still not exactly ‘house’ as we here know it. Gay jocks flirted with the new mix some months back, but the soul boys only just seem to have caught up with it! In the photo above, lead singer Roshelle Fleming (centre) will be visiting the UK this coming week.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END ‘Funky Nassau’ (Atlantic K10021T)
Promoed by WEA’s Fred Dove several years ago although only now out in logical competition with Black Britain’s remake, this 119-120⅔-121½-122-123bpm extended version of the classic brassy Bahamian soul kicker from 1971 has Wes Montgomery-ish guitar in the last half, and the original seven incher’s Parts 1 and 2 as flip. Always a party pleaser!

BOBBY CALDWELL ‘What You Won’t Do For Love’ (Magnetic Dance MAGDT 5)
From 1979, hoping for ‘rare groove’ status although lovely for all to appreciate again, the blue-eyed soulster’s gorgeous subtle lazily swaying 85- 83½bpm smoocher with delicate brass and jazzy bluesiness is flipped by the equally popular and even more memorable ‘Down For The Third Time’, a George Benson-ish guitar prodded undulating 90½- 89⅔bpm jogger of stunning beauty. Essential vinyl if you’re too young to have them already, pure class.

ERIC B. AND RAKIM ‘I Know You Got Soul’ (Cooltempo COOLX 146)
Huge on import on rare groove and rap crazy London, this casually though insistently chatted jiggly 103⅚bpm rap ‘n’ scratch combines both by cutting in Bobby Byrd’s 1971 soul hit of the same name (in three mixes).

2 PUERTO RICANS A BLACKMAN AND A DOMINICAN ‘Do It Properly (Fierce Club Mix)’ (Cooltempo COOLX 147)
The group who actually are 2 Puerto Ricans, etc (see Odds ‘n’ Bods for more details), based around musicians Robert CliviIis and David Cole, evidently circulated a cassette of the basic track of this house bounder to various New York DJs to create interest, and then — overdubbed with more exciting keyboards and ‘Jack Your Body’ samples — the track and their name ended up being bootlegged, and is an import smash! The bootleg to my mind remains much better as it’s actually very different in concept and more jack track-ish with all its terrific overdubs, and is the version now out on London co-credited as being by Adonis (whose bassline is featured), while this the group’s official version is vocal now and a frantic 124½-0bpm house record (in three mixes) that is perfectly good of its type but pales in comparison.

KOOL CHIP featuring Toni Smith ‘Jazz It Up’ (Fourth & Broadway 12BRW 62)
The New York rapper, with soul vocal refrains from ‘Funkin’ For Jamaica’ singer Toni, creates an excellent melodically backed lazily swaying though jittery mellow 100bpm rap reminiscent of the World Famous Supreme Team (dub flip), not due fully until June 22 but already hot on white label.

MANTRONIX ‘Scream (Primal Scream)’ (10 Records TENT 169)
Now spikily remixed by Mantronik with tricky edits by Chep Nunez, this tightly jittering 101⅓bpm go go-tempo sparse rap always was the hottest cut on their last LP (dub flip), and while not the most innovative thing they’ve done will obviously be big with their fans.

KID ‘N’ PLAY ‘Last Night’ (US Select FMS62289)
Slotting nicely into the rare groove/rap bag, this drily rapping duo ride over a brilliant 98½bpm mix-up of familiar oldies in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince style (instrumental flip), produced by Hurby Lovebug with scratching by Quicksilver. Fresh!

MINI CURRY ‘I Think I’m Over You’ (US Total Experience 2709-1-TD)
Sultrily soulful Minnie (?) achingly weaves though a sophisticated bitter-sweet 100bpm swayer in bluesy late night style, her calm high vocal pitch creating unusual impact, well worth finding whenever it arrives here (inst flip).

LITTLE SHAWN ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ (US Select FMS62286)
Howie Tee and Chubb Rock-produced good smooth Lovebug Starski-style 0-97bpm rap based very commercially on the Jacksons’ slinky oldie of the same name, recreated by the title-singing girls in fact (dub too, plus the more routine 99bpm ‘My Girl’s Mother‘).

GEORGE MICHAEL ‘I Want Your Sex (Monogamy Mix)’ (Epic LUSTI 1)
This controversial sinuously tapping weaver segues through three differently emphasised 97⅚bpm parts on the 12 inch A-side, only the widely banned Prince-inspired Rhythm 1: Lust being aggressively suggestive, Rhythm 2: Brass In Love being soulfully brassy and Rhythm 3: A Last Request sensually gentle in ‘Sexual Healing’ meets ‘Careless Whisper’ style — while the flip’s (0-)93⅚-0bpm ‘Hard Day‘ is a totally separate strong soulful tugging jiggly jogger with dated TK beats and a duetting climax. You can’t accuse this superstar of taking the easy route to success, good on him!

PRINCE ‘If I Was Your Girlfriend’ (Paisley Park W8334T)
His typically strange sinuous spine-tingling (0-)96⅔bpm quietly pent-up rolling gentle jogger has terrific words and a slightly risqué muttering finale, all about human relationships and how they can be seen to advantage in a different light if you give them some thought, with the weirdly accented 109⅔-0bpm ‘Shockadelica‘ as more normally purple flip.

BOBBY WOMACK ‘How Could You Break My Heart’ (Arista RIST 17)
Latest in the Arista Masters reissue series and hot already on radio again is this telephone-started lovely 0-85bpm swayer from 1979, strangulatedly throaty and soulful In typical style, flipped by the similar vintage swaying 0-95¼bpm ‘Give It Up‘ and philosophical slow 36bpm ‘The Roots In Me’.

PRIVATE JOY ‘Coolin Out’ (Champion CHAMP 12-49)
Leon Haywood-produced pleasantly timeless jittery slick staccato 118½bpm male soul vocal group wriggler, something of a sales sleeper while on import (instrumental flip, not previously included).

HEAVY D. AND THE BOYZ ‘Chunky But Funky’ (MS MCA Records MCA-23733)
Go Go-tempoed routine but bright (0-)97⅔bpm rap, flipped (although uncredited on the sleeve) by the possibly now more current sounding James Brown-ish 102⅔bpm ‘On The Dance Floor‘ (both in three versions).
