August 15, 1987: Fat Boys, Bobby Byrd, B-Fats, CJ Mackintosh & Einstein, UTFO

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

As hinted, we have at last found room to reinstate the pop venues-compiled Nightclub chart, now more accurately retitled Pop Dance (to complement the Disco chart’s equally accurate renaming as Black Dance), this new top 50 being within this column to draw your attention to it before moving to its permanent home within the reorganised chart pages (statisticians should note that the Pop and Black charts combined make up the top 100 published monthly in Jocks) – so, is everybody happy? … ‘Bad Meaning Good’, a film by Tim Westwood (the “auteur” syndrome, yet!) shown on BBC2 last week, gave a revealing insight for outsiders into London’s massively flourishing black street scene, the rap acts making proper stage appearances actually coming across less well than the more casually caught acappella performance in the back of a car by Sipho and Bionic of the London Posse, the well reasoned political rap under the Westway motorway arches by Daddy Speedo and Flyboy D from the Hip Hop Alliance, and the bedroom fast-cutting practice session by DJ Fingers (whose rapper MC Crazy Noddy also impressed) … Julian Palmer is returning from CBS to head the Fourth & Broadway label next month … Paul Oakenfold has left Champion and will be working for Profile when the label opens a London office … Housemartins bassist Norman Housemartin is hotly tipped to be behind the always fishy seeming DJ Mega-Mix Vol 1 ‘The Finest Ingredients’, which I had a hunch was British … M|A|R|R|S ‘Pump Up The Volume’ could be due for one of Jonathon More’s “cold cuts” remixes, especially as much of CJ Mackintosh and Dave Dorrell’s original scratching was left off the finished master because Colourbox felt it obscured the actual music … Bobby Byrd goes “yeah” throughout the Lyn Collins ‘Think’-based sizzling 107⅙bpm Cookie Crew ‘Females (Get On Up)‘, not due commercially for six weeks (if you can wait?), while Gwen McCrae (misspelt on label and sleeve as McRae!) has a mechanically bumped but quite good 101⅙bpm total re-recording of her old ‘Funky Sensation’ due here, also on Rhythm King, commercially in four weeks … Steve Proctor has compiled an ‘Urban Classics‘ album for late August release on Urban, containing rare groove funk, some more commercial oldies, stuff like the Luther Vandross featuring Greg Diamond’s Bionic Boogie ‘Hot Butterfly‘, Chakachas ‘Jungle Fever’, African Music Machine ‘Black Water Gold‘ … Roy Ayers ‘Can’t You See Me‘ will be on Urban 12 inch at the end of the month too, flipped by ‘Love Will Bring Us Back Together’/’Sweet Tears’ .. Sybil ‘My Love Is Guaranteed’, selling initially on import in the absence of UK pressings, has already been white labelled yet again in a second, far superior 118͕⅓bpm PWL Mix (Champion CHAMPX 1255), presumably from the Stock Aitken Waterman stable, much smoother although still quite Hi-NRG in a Mel & Kim-ish way … Natalie Cole ‘Jump Start’ is not necessarily improved by a boringly bashing 121¾bpm Deluxe Dub Mix (Manhattan 12MTX 22), with a similarly vigorous but more usefully vocal 121½bpm Car Mix flip … Fernand Fidore, DJ at London’s Xenon, has created a rather disastrously over-late 123½bpm remix of the House Master Boyz ‘House Nation’ (Magnetic Dance MAGDT 1R), still not actually out until next week … Hotline ‘Rock This House’ has been remixed to be B-side of its follow-up, incorporating now the break from Montana ‘Heavy Vibes’ – could this be a coming trend? … Germany’s BCM label has now compiled ‘The Very Best of Easy Street‘ (BC 33-2036-60), the LP twin-packed with a c.118bpm bonus 12 inch ‘Mic Mac’ Meyers mix of Hot Streak ‘Body Work’, Monyaka, World Premiere and other of the New York label’s oldies … Alexander O’Neal headlines at Live Wire’s October 30-November 1 Prestatyn Soul Weekend II, again at Pontins Holiday Centre, with DJs Chris Hill, Robbie Vincent, Jeff Young, Pete Tong, Tim Westwood, Paul Oakenfold, Nicky Holloway, Gilles Peterson, Sean French, Chris Brown, Froggy, Chris Forbes, Kev Hill, Johnny Walker, Ian Reading, Eddie Gordon (£42.50 ticket details on 01-364 1212) … Netphase’s rival October 23-25 Caister Soul & Jazz Weekend No 20 moves for the first time to Great Yarmouth’s Vauxhall Holiday Park, with the likes of Martin Collins, Bob Jones, Graham Gold, Colin Hudd, Jonathon More, Disco John Leech, Joe Field, Paul Clark, Danny Smith, Chris Bangs and SOLAR-fm (£39.50 ticket details on 01-367 9118) … Upnorth Promotions are running the North and Scotland’s first Berwick Soul Weekend at Berwick-on-Tweed’s Berwick Holiday Centre at the same time as Caster, October 23-25, which means that double-billed Martin Collins and Bob Jones will be alternating at both events (I don’t envy their car trips!), joining up north such as Colin Curtis, Richard Searling, Mike Shaft, Pete Haigh, Alex Lowes, Billy Davidson, Hutchy, Mervyn Anthony and special guests (£35 ticket details on 091-389 0317) … Johnny Walker guests this Friday (Aug 14) at Streatham Project at Zigi’s Scallywag Jazz Night, and Saturday (15) with Nicky Holloway and Gilles Peterson at London’s Farringdon Road Metropolitan … Sunday (Aug l6), DJ Elayne, Simon Goffe, Johnny S, Clarity Roadshow and Rapattack funk a 2pm alldayer at Caxton House in London N19’s St John’s Way … Monday (Aug 17) Phil Fearon is at Swansea Martha’s Vineyard … Colin Hudd and Keb Hill (although Kev may be away just now) are funking Thursdays at Basildon Raquels… Ken ‘B’ Brudenell has left Luton to open at Jersey’s newly refurbished Heroes in St Helier’s Inn On The Park … Tricky Dicky Scanes has joined forces with Bolts to promote gay nights at the Flowerpot in Seven Sisters’ St Anne’s Road, North London. Norman Scott jocking there Fri/Sat/Mondays (he’s still at Luton Ronelles every Sunday, his old bolt hole at Haringey Lazers having become a banqueting suite) … Desa seems upset at the lack of outside interest paid to Merseyside’s still funkin’ soul scene, citing the last Defhouse night at Birkenhead’s Atmosphere as a total roadblock (the next one is Monday week, August 24) … Alan Maskell, jocking at Legend and DeVilles, finds Manchester a bit restrictive and would appreciate offers from alternative/funk/indie/hip hop-type venues in surrounding Lancs/Mersey/Cheshire areas (on 061-236 1718, days) … Darryl Pandy & Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk are set to return with a revival of Southroad Connection’s ‘Free Man‘ … ‘Two Can Play At That Game‘ in a Godwin Logie remix will be Peggi Blu’s new single here … Michael Jackson’s 16 minute ‘Bad’ video, directed by Martin Scorcese, gets its exclusive TV premiere (along with some older material) on Channel 4 at 10.50pm on September 1, release date for his album of the same name – I don’t suppose many clubs will have their recorders running, will they? … LAH DEE DAH DEE!

JEFF YOUNG, with possibly something bigger up his sleeve, has as of last Saturday already left his highly popular Radio London soul show, which has been taken over by a suitably startled looking PETE TONG (above!) on a temporary basis in its 8-10am breakfast time slot, with a view to taking over permanently if, as seems now very possible, it should revert to its old much more civilised brunch time slot. Both DJs do, of course, hold down important day jobs at Phonogram/London, the early hours of the present show naturally being a strain especially when they’re jocking in clubs as well, although apparently it’s not the hours that have prompted Jeff’s sudden decision to quit, git and split. Pete only recently stopped presenting a weekly soul show on Invicta Radio, and is already on Radio London’s roster of NITE-fm presenters during weekday evenings, so he should make a worthy (and inevitable?) replacement.

HOT VINYL

FAT BOYS ‘Wipeout (Wave 1 Version)’ (Urban URBX 5)
Those stars of ‘Miami Vice’ are shaping up for a pop hit with this quite amusing 0-126½-0bpm revival of the Surfaris’ once instrumental surf classic, now with guest vocals by the Beach Boys around bursts of Beasties-type rap, much more accessible for middle-aged radio DJs to treat as a gimmick instead of that dangerous street rap that’s really happenin’!

BOBBY BYRD ‘I Know You Got Soul’ (Urban URBX 8)
Bobby was with James Brown right from the start as the longest enduring of his Famous Flames vocal backing trio, ending up his solitary vocal foil on both stage and (often) record, which is why it’s Bobby whose “get on up” has become the most over-scratched phrase of the moment despite that being on the actually James Brown-credited ‘Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved‘. He’s also had several solo hits over the years, from 1971 coming a timely 12 inch coupling of quintessential urgently jittering JB grooves, this (0-)114-112½-112-113-112½bpm original inspiration for Eric B And Rakim’s current rap ‘n’ scratch, the 118½-118-117½-117-118-118¾bpm ‘If You Don’t Work, You Can’t Eat‘, the 113-112bpm ‘Hot Pants…I’m Coming, Coming, I’m Coming‘, and an instrumental 112⅔-112bpm Bonus Beats of the latter specially created by Timmy Rogers so that UK mixers could have a new ‘Funky Drummer’ rhythm to use.

Meanwhile on import (check the Black Dance chart for BPMs), FRESH GORDON ‘Feelin’ James‘ (US Tommy Boy TB901) is the latest hot rap ‘n scratch to use James Brown plus in fact Bobby’s “you got it”, this time, from ‘I Know You Got Soul’, BIG DADDY KANE ‘Get Into It‘ (US Prism PS 2011) is another Eric B And Rakim-inspired Bobby Byrd rap ‘n scratch, KAY GEE THE ALL Featuring D.J. DREW ‘My Record Is Hot‘ (US B Boy Records BB 600) is a tricky cut ‘n scratch using a JB riff, SPANISH PRINCE ‘Dance Everybody Dance‘ (US 4th + B’way BWAY-422) bucks the trend by using “whoa-oh” chants and cutting in the Jackson Five’s currently rare groove-revived ‘I Want You Back’, PRIME TIME ‘He’s Def‘ (US Sun Town STPT 712) uses ‘Funkin’ For Jamaica’, all for proper review next week.

B-FATS ‘The B-Fats’ (US Rooftop Records RT 005)
The hottest hip-hopper of the past fortnight has in fact been this tight jittery subtly rhythmic 0-101⅓bpm go-go-cum-rare groove-ish rap about a new, self-titled, dancestep that’s a combination of the Whop and the Boogaloo (instrumental/edit flip).

C.J. MACKINTOSH & EINSTEIN ‘The Tables Are Turnin’’ (Music Of Life NOTE 4, via Pinnacle)
Einstein’s patriotic rap boosts the talent of the UK’s champion scratcher, Chris Mackintosh, who does his cutting and transformer stunts to brilliant effect to a 0-99½bpm beat produced (in four mixes) by label owner Simon Harris and apparently based (if Disco Gary Van Den Bussche’s info is correct) on Melba Moore’s ‘Standing Right Here’.

UTFO ‘Lethal’ LP (US Select SEL 21619)
Full Force-produced extremely strong rap set, all interestingly worded and developed, with the go-go-ish 88bpm ‘Mo’ Bass’, 12 inched 83½bpm ‘Ya Cold Wanna Be With Me‘, Anthrax rock-guitared 90-0bpm title track, Prince ‘Kiss’-based 93⅓bpm ‘Diss‘, hilarious 107½bpm funk chant sending-up ‘S.W.A.T. (Get Down)‘ (with the chorus “pull your panties down, all I want to do is put my uh-uh-uh in you” – which is really truthful about the underlying message of most funk lyrics, right?!), sparse dry (0-)89½bpm ‘The Ride‘, well worded but otherwise overly routine funk (0-)119¼bpm ‘Ask Yo Mama‘, Marvin Gaye-cutting reinterpretive 86⅔-0bpm ‘Let’s Get It On‘, acappella human beat box ‘So Be It‘, amusingly moral 0-95⅔-0bpm ‘Burning Bed‘, and slinky (0-)79½bpm ‘Master-Baby‘ (pronounced more like “masturbaby”).

LEVERT ‘Casanova’ (Atlantic A9217T)
A surprisingly fast though well deserved climber in the Black Dance chart, this Reggie Calloway-created soulfully nagging 93⅔bpm jaunty go-go-ish jiggler — by O’Jays leader Eddie Levert’s two sons and a nephew — is full of fantastic bouncy rhythm that’s subtly implied more than stated (in four mixes).

DUB SPECIALISTS ‘Better Dub’ LP (Jamaican Studio One SELP-001)
Although otherwise containing nothing but real reggae dubs, this set, whenever people can find it, is selling for £10 as it has at the very end a brilliant burbling 107⅔bpm instrumental dub-ification of James Brown’s ‘Get On The Good Foot’, here called (with weird spelling) ‘Gready ‘G”. A rare groove indeed. Look out also for a hot bootleg mixer called ‘London Beats Vol 1‘, with many scratched together murky grooves including much James Brown.

JOHN WHITE ‘Night People’ LP (US Geffen Records GHS 24152)
Good, generally downtempo, modern soul in the huskily masculine fashionable style, with the fluidly agonised mesmerically tugging 93⅓bpm title track, chunkily jogging 102½bpm ‘Victim‘, catchily rolling 110⅓bpm ‘Fooled Around (And Fell In Love)‘, gorgeous crawling 0-37¾bpm ‘(Can’t) Get You Out Of My System‘, untidily jittering 102½bpm ‘I Need Your Love‘, lush 76⅓bpm ‘Mood For Love’, 0-71⅓bpm ‘Don’t Let It Be Too Late’, 71⅓bpm ‘Forbidden Love’.

HINDSIGHT ‘Lowdown’ (Circa Records YRTPR 5)
Nice coolly loping 116½-0bpm Boz Scaggs oldie slickly revived in radio-aimed pop-soul style — which the original always was, too — flipped (on pre-release pressings, anyway) by a slightly more jittery Glenn Skinner remix.

CHANDRA SIMMONS ‘Never Gonna’ Let You Go’ (US Fresh Records FRE-13)
Joyce Sims-ish, very lightweight 109¼bpm wriggler which, despite some painfully flat, girlish, singing, is selling simply because Mantronik mixed it (in four versions).

FIVE STAR ‘Whenever You’re Ready (The New York Mix)’ (Tent 5 STAR 200)
Typically piercing 116¾bpm loping jitterer (dub flip) for the teenybop market, probably stronger –presupposing the mix is tighter – as a seven inch.

JAMES ROBINSON ‘Guilty’ LP (US Tabu BFZ 40823)
Breathlessly impassioned, romantic modern soul doodling by Luther Vandross’s successor as a singer with Change (also on occasion featured vocalist with Jeff Lorber, Lonnie Liston Smith and more), the mood being more important than the song in most cases, strongest being the swirling 103⅚bpm ‘You’re The One I’ve Been Dreaming Of’, which is already on UK 12 inch, others on the Up Side being the weaving (0-)99⅚bpm ‘A Kind Of Love‘, Audrey Wheeler-duetted jittery 99⅚ ‘Just What I’ve Been Missing‘, and messily lurching 103⅚bpm ‘When You’ll Be Mine‘ (that two pairs of structurally so different songs should chart the same fractional BPMs is truly a coincidence!), while the Down Side has the also 12-inched 79⅔bpm ‘Can We Do It Again‘, 0-36-0bpm title track, Joyce Kennedy-duetted slushy 0-51½-0bpm ‘Pretend’, 72¾bpm ‘Feel Like Going On’ and two tempoless crawlers.

THRASHPACK ‘Cooling In Paradise’ (Music Of Life NOTE 6, Via Pinnacle)
Slightly monotonous Beasties-type 98bpm rap ‘n’ scratch produced (in five versions) by Simon Harris.
