ODDS ‘N’ BODS
SERIOUS RECORDS, no sooner had I reviewed their white label of First Choice ‘Let No Man Put Asunder’, delivered the commercial pressing which turns out to be a four-tracker (at 33⅓rpm) and does indeed include Rutger Kroese’s Special Dutch House Mix —here called just House Mix, while the white label’s House Mix 87 is now billed as Jack The Body Mix — plus the hustling 126⅗bpm ‘Let Me Down Easy (Club Mix) ‘ … Stock Aitken Waterman’s teasingly “bootlegged” ‘Roadblock’ has in fact been signed for UK release by Breakout all along, the label’s Mike Sefton concocting with wily Pete Waterman the whole scam, pressing up just 500 uncredited imports to wind up the rare groove snobs — and I could name several DJs who swore (before knowing they’d been conned) that they of course had had the “original seven inch” since 1973, crediting it variously to Maceo & The Macks and to the ‘lost’ James Brown session with Sly & Robbie … Breakout also snapped up Roxanne Shanté here … Steve Walsh has now totally replaced Fatback to ‘sing’ his own rabble-rousing 106⅙ chant-along version of ‘I Found Lovin’‘ (A1 Records 12A 1299), somewhat Judge Dread-accented and unlikely to get played much by his rival London DJs although possibly a welcome alternative for provincial jocks! … Radio London’s 4th of July soul celebrations actually start on Friday, July 3, at 10pm with Pete Tong for an hour, followed by Dave Pearce broadcasting live from New York’s WBLS with one of its DJs until midnight, when Steve Walsh comes from Watford’s Paradise Lost followed by Tony Blackburn with Graham Gold from Basildon’s Festival Halls before Dave Pearce closes down between 1-2am … Hardrock Soul Movement ‘Elaweaser Just A Skeezer’ on commercial pressings has been speeded up to 0-89⅙-0bpm … The Blow Monkeys with Curtis Mayfield ‘Celebrate’ has had a more starkly bonking 116⅔-0bpm striding remix, promoed on white label 12 inch although I believe in commercial form it may be a 10 inch … Terence Trent D’Arby ‘Wishing Well’ has been promoed in two drily tapping slower 104⅙ remixes, not obviously more danceable although some jocks are charting them … WEA’s disco plugger Fred Dove has circulated translucent gold coloured US Geffen Records promos of the excellent pent-up wailing soulfully jogging 78⅝bpm Vaneese Thomas ‘Let’s Talk It Over‘ (she’s apparently one of Memphis veteran Rufus Thomas’s daughters), certainly available at least on seven inch commercially … 10 Records sent DJs a pair of slipmats plugging Mantronix ‘Scream’ … Rob Manley, Manchester mixing mate of Chad Jackson, becomes A&M’s new dance promotions man from July 20, helping Def Sef … Paul Truelove is compiling a DJ mailing list for Basildon based Wax Records on 0268-728574, should you really want Gonzalez! … Thursday (July 2) Warren Aylward starts Chillin’ Out weekly with soul/jazz/rare grooves at Portsmouth’s Martines … Saturday (July 4) Doug Osborne, Dave Malone, Guy Palmer, Turbo and more funk and jazz (on two floors) a Nautical Nonsense Party at Sudbury’s Queen’s Arms in Gt. Cornard, Jeff Young and Doug Hughes soul Bexleyheath’s Drayman, and Carl Cox, Tony Wilson and Paul Clark funk Mile End’s Nashville … Sunday (July 5) lain Norman and Def Steph start a weekly jazz, samba and rap night at Stowmarket’s Stag Tavern … Monday (July 6) Astrud Gilberto, Flora Purim, Airto and Azymuth bring a breath of Brazil in a special Rio package to Le Palais, Hammersmith, while Jocelyn Brown plays Swansea’s Martha’s Vineyard … Tuesday (July 7) Tony Norris starts rare grooving Catford’s Forest Hill Frolics weekly … Dave Rawlings has a one hundred per cent jazz session Sunday lunchtimes in Basingstoke’s The Basshouse … DJ/entertainments manager Andy King is looking on 0905-612428 for properly professional promotion companies to supply Worcester’s The Pavilion with personal appearances who actually appear, personally and on time! … Epic here has finally released the previously import-only 1982 album by Luther Vandross, ‘Forever, For Always, For Love’ (EPC 25013), the one with ‘Bad Boy/Having A Party’, ‘You’re The Sweetest One’, ‘Since I Lost My Baby’ … Rough Trade is now, as previously warned, distributing various oldies on the Celluloid label, including the otherwise unremarkable Fab 5 Freddy ‘Change The Beat‘ (CEL 156), side two of which just happens to end with that much-scratched “this stuff is really fresh”… Atlantic Starr’s follow-up will be ‘One Lover At A Time‘, rather than the possibly anticipated ‘Let The Sun In‘ … should a ‘Roadblock’-type mystery import arrive sounding like something by Vince Montana, it may have come no further than from Worcester Park! … LAH DEE DAH DEE!
KOOL CHIP is otherwise known as Jack Blakney. A rapping and scratching homeboy from the Bronx, he actually recorded ‘Jazz It Up‘ a year ago, when it was turned down by labels all over New York, only to hit finally in the enlightened UK!
Seen here in 1973, when they recorded ‘I Believe In Miracles’, are the JACKSON SISTERS — clockwise from top left, Rae, Gennie, Lyn, Jackie, and Pat. From Compton, California, the girls scored several soul hits in the USA, the biggest being released here (‘Miracles’ included) on the Mums label. Get grooving, rare freaks!
HOT VINYL
RUSS BROWN ‘Take My Love’ (10 Records TENT 182)
Owner of New York City’s Soul Scissors salon, the gospel-singing hairdresser returns with a mournfully moaning (0-)116¼-116bpm burbling tense monotonous chugger (dub too), overshadowed however by the flip’s strong new 112½bpm remixed 1987 Edit of last year’s floor-filling ‘Set It Off’-ish ‘Gotta Find A Way’, still a haunting underground ‘sleeper’.
THE VALENTINE BROTHERS ‘No Better Love’ (US EMI America V-19225)
Self-produced excellent classy if maddeningly and naggingly derivative easily strolling 101⅔bpm thudding soul slinker (dub/edit too), a real grower and destined to be large although maybe not such a crossover as ‘Money’s Too Tight To Mention’!
KID ‘N PLAY ‘Last Night’ (Cooltempo COOLX 148)
Huge already, this Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince-style 98⅙bpm fresh mix of drily rapping duo and scratching and synching oldies uses the Brothers Johnson, Rufus & Chaka Khan, Esther Williams and more (inst/edit flip).
NEWCLEUS ‘Huxtable House Party’ (US Super Power Records HSE-1232)
Still with some chipmunk-like little Smurfs chipping in, on a new label, this jaunty 95bpm go go-ish rap (in four mixes) is about a new dance step that they deny is inspired by TV’s Huxtable family on Bill Cosby’s show. Hmm…
ARTHUR CONLEY ‘Sweet Soul Music’ (Atlantic YZ120T)
Produced/co-written by Otis Redding but based on Sam Cooke’s 1964-recorded ‘Yeah Man‘, this clichéd though still floor-ramming 161bpm soul classic from 1967 successively turns the “spotlight” on Lou Rawls, Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, and — the king of them all, y’all — James Brown, with as flip the follow-up Joe Turner-reviving 160-157bpm ‘Shake, Rattle & Roll‘ and soul-clapping 151-153½bpm ‘Funky Street‘.
SALT-n-PEPA ‘Tramp (Remix)’ (US Next Plateau NP50063)
As well as ‘My Mic Sounds Nice’, the endearing girl rappers’ album’s other biggie was this funkily rolling scratch-in of Otis Redding & Carla Thomas’s 1967 oldie, now in a 96⅚bpm remix, flipped by the fast sparse 128¾bpm ‘Push It’ (instrumentals too), due imminently here on Champion.
TROUBLE ‘Trouble In My Life (Are You Ready Mix)’ (10 Records/MDM Records MDM 19-12)
Very bright attacking commercial bouncy 110bpm hip hop-pop by some New York-recorded but UK-based girls and a guy, like Bananarama meeting Lovebug Starski (dub too) — so, great for general disco venues but not exactly HARD, y’know?
THE GAP BAND ‘Oops Upside Your Head (’87 Extended Mix)’ (Club JABX 54)
1980’s sit-on-the-floor-and-row smash, still a party classic, has been restructured though not necessarily improved in this 106-105½-104-104⅔-104⅓-104-103-104-103⅔-103⅓-103⅔-104⅓-107⅔-104bpm re-edit, flipped however by a usefully cleaned up new Extended Dub Mix.
FATBACK BAND ‘(Feel The) Rhythm Of The Night’ (Groove & Move GMT 12 002, via PRT)
Nice sax started then girl and guy alternated tapping 108⅙-108bpm wriggly swayer flipped by its original import A-side, the nervier slinkily jittering 106⅓bpm ‘Naughty Dancer‘.
IAN FOSTER ‘Out For The Count’ (US MCA Records MCA-23741)
Nick Martinelli reverts to his Loose Ends style to produce this British songwriter’s gently loping 107⅚-0bpm jittery tapping and tumbling swayer (dub/edit flip).
TAWATHA ‘Thigh Ride (Whisker Burn Mix)’ (Epic 650937 6)
James Mtume produces his group’s female co-leader on yet another slinkily thudding 94⅔bpm rewrite of ‘Juicy Fruit’ (dub too), fine as such — and there are yet more on her new import LP!
LA LA ‘(If You) Love Me Just A Little’ (Arista RIST 23)
La La (La Forrest) Cope, better known as a songwriter, has Full Force producing this Janet Jackson-style jerkily chugging 119⅔-0bpm spiky fast lurcher (in two mixes).
BOYS NEXT DOOR ‘We Don’t Date No More (Skee-zards)’ (US New Image NIR 146)
Marley Marl mixes up a reggae-accented rapping and bumping 88½bpm jittery infectious storm, yet more West Indian-Influenced hip hop, with a much longer and fiercer dub flip.
MIKE DUNN ‘Dance You Mutha’ (US Westbrook Records MD-WB 2)
Bam Bam-produced electronic drumkit driven and (in most of its five mixes) synth washed 123¼bpm typical clean jack track with monotonously deadpan repetition of the slightly dirty title line, building most vocal intensity in Mike’s Original Mutha Mix.
KATHY MATHIS ‘Late Night Hour’ (Tabu 650806 6)
David ‘O’ Ogrin-mixed plaintively young sounding spikily jerky 116¼-0bpm funk lurcher (instrumental flip), serviceable enough without being anything special.
JUICY ‘All Work, No Play (The All Work Mix)’ (Epic 650888 6)
John Luongo has given the brother and sister’s sleazily tugging slow and deliberate but jaunty jiggler a fragmentedly starting 86½-0bpm remix with two more dubwise mixes as flip.
MELI’SA MORGAN with Coffee, Tea Or Me ‘Wanting You’ (Master Mix 12CHE 8413, via PRT)
Produced some time ago by Terry Lewis and Patrick Adams, this teasingly started wailing 106⅓bpm jolter has been on offer to labels here for ages and without being actually bad is fairly unremarkable apart from its name appeal (dub/edit flip).
DONNA ALLEN ‘Satisfied (Extended Version)’ (Portrait XXX T1)
Horrid jerkily edited over-digital disjointedly lurching 117-0bpm remix massacre of her far better album track, an example of studio technology used for its own sake (dub too, plus the cantering 122bpm ‘Another Affair‘).
SINNIMON ‘Send It C.O.D.’ (US New Image NIR 402)
Initially quite strident girl wailed violently jittering electro-driven 116bpm frisky wriggler (in four mixes), good of its now slightly dated type — It would have been big three years ago in the Aleem era!
JILL JONES ‘Mia Bocca (Extended Version)’ (Paisley Park W8438T)
Prince’s latest protégé, aided by a classy black and white video, warbles like a cross between Madonna and Sheila E on this muttering and surging 129-0bpm frisky purple wriggler with nice muted trumpet at the end (dub flip. and stridently straining pent-up Janis Joplin-ish 97bpm ‘77 Bleeker St.‘).
THE JETS ‘You Got It All’ (MCA Records MCAT 1157)
Tenderly crooned though quite chunky 83⅔bpm rolling slowie, flipped by the lightly bounding (0-)127¼bpm ‘Heart On The Line‘ and — the real attraction — a 122-123-123⅔bpm Les Adams ‘Mixdoctor Mix’ medley of ‘Crush On You/Curiosity/Love Umbrella’.
BOBBY’S BOYS ‘Bobby Can’t Dance (King Size Enigma Mix)’ (Oval 101T, via WEA)
Bobby is actor Robert DeNiro, this pop-aimed beefier 119½-0bpm girls chanted remix of the now Mel & Kim-ish basher still featuring bits of dialogue from his films but with less emphasis than before (the flip’s two mixes having more soundtrack than girls, though).
POTOMAC CREW ‘I’m Back’ (US Clean Records CR 7260)
Loosely jiggling 102⅚-105⅙bpm subdued go go chanter with a nice old-fashioned brassy arrangement (instrumental flip), distributed here via 061-902 9989.
DORIAN ‘Madness (Stark Raving Mad Mix)’ (US PM Plutonium Records 2706-1-TPD)
Now quite refreshingly old-fashioned seeming smacking and striding 116bpm funk disco, not otherwise that special, in five mixes.
OLIVER CHEATHAM ‘Wish On A Star’ (Champion CHAMP 12-40)
Gentle schmaltzy 69⅓bpm smoocher designed primarily (and limitingly) for wedding gigs as it’s “dedicated to the newly weds” and will obviously have some use (less rhythmic more delicate 39⅔-0bpm extended vocal Aca Dub flip).
ROBERT BROOKINS ‘Our Lives’ (MCA Records MCAT 1131)
Huskily wailed beefily burbling chugger, monotonous and not the strongest of songs, in a 116⅓bpm Extended Version, more lightly percussive 115¾bpm US Remix and its 115½bpm LP Version.
BASIA ‘New Day For You’ (Portrait BASH T2)
Overshadowed now by Swing Out Sister, her jazzily samba-ish (0-)110bpm shuffIer is still like Matt Bianco and lightly pleasant (Instrumental too).
RUBY TURNER ‘In My Life (It’s Better To Be In Love)’ (Jive RTS T 3)
Innocuous gently tripping (0-)112⅓bpm swayer with a beat that stays subduedly defined despite two remixes, the 113bpm Alternative Mix being sharpest.
JIMMY RUFFIN ‘Easy Just To Say (I Love You)’ (Polydor POSPX 869)
Soulfully sung 102/51-102bpm strange haunting lurcher, too trickily pulsing for too long before it eventually starts chugging to be a dancefloor natural although it does build tension.
