ODDS ‘N’ BODS

ERIC B & RAKIM ‘Paid In Full’ is already due out in Derek B’s Urban Respray mix, while their T-shirt is one of the classiest ever, black with a luxurious thick gold dollar sign on the chest … Society ‘Love It’, the previously reviewed Coldcut mix, is out here on November 23 … Chris Paul’s far better (as warned) 123¼bpm House Mix of ‘Back In My Arms’ (Syncopate 12SYX 5) samples vocal phrases from all sorts of volume-pumping disco hits and really jacks along, the one to get … Radio London could be facing some drastic changes as, unbelievably, of all the BBC’s local stations it apparently attracts the lowest percentage of available listeners (despite what Tony Blackburn keeps claiming) … Jeff Young. who played Supertramp’s soulful ‘I’m Beggin’ You‘ Hi-NRG hit at Prestatyn, adds an hour to his weekly Radio 1 dance music show from Friday, Nov 27, running then 7-10pm … Pete Waterman is “doing a Jonathan King”, hosting a Saturday afternoon show on Liverpool’s Radio City, playing the records he thinks should be hits and inviting listeners to send in their own recordings on tape (which he’ll consider for release) … Catherine Buchanan is ‘Famous For 15 Minutes’ this Friday the 13th at 6.15pm on Channel 4, the singer of Jellybean’s ‘Sidewalk Talk’ (and operatic diva on ‘The Opera House’) being revealed as an artily worded rapper with Talking Heads-type appeal … Thursday (12) Tony Griffin and Jerry Hipkiss start weekly soul/funk/house (strictly no yardie music) at Bristol’s smart Parkside Club in Bath Road, with Fred Dove as guest DJ the opening night … Chris Forbes is guest Def-Dance DJ this Friday (13) at London Limelight’s weekly The Chain Gang, followed in coming weeks by Nicky Holloway, Dancin’ Danny D and Jeff Young, while Gilles Peterson and Chris Bangs jazz the basement … Sunday (15) Chris Hill and Paul Morrissey guest with Steve Aspey at Oxford Boodles, and Hazell Dean joins Norman Scott at Luton Bolts … JM Silk featuring Keith Nunnally, Darryl Pandy, Full House, Joe Smooth, Chip E and Frankie Knuckles are jack tracking around the UK, at Derby 20th Century Complex (Nov 14), Kentish Town Town & Country Club (15), Uxbridge Brunel University (17), Brighton Top Rank (18), Bangor University (19), Hull University (20), Bradford University (21), Birmingham Porsche (22), Bournemouth Academy (23), Stockton The Mall (25), Glasgow Fury Murrays (26), Manchester International 2 (27), Sheffield University (28) … Adonis & The Endless Poker ‘The Poke‘ is due as a single from Westside Records, who have also plundered their ‘Jackmaster’ compilation LP to accompany it on strictly promo-only white label with tracks by Nitestar, Patrick Adams, Out Of Control and Hokus Pokus … ConFunkShun’s now solo Michael Cooper, way ahead of January release, has on Warner Bros promo the melodically rolling vocally sinuous 116¾(-0)bpm smoothly chugging ‘To Prove My Love‘ … EMI have tried a scam by not revealing on white label promos that it’s Climie Fisher performing the ponderously go-go-tempoed scratching 90½bpm ‘Rise To The Occasion (Club Mix)‘ (12EM 33) … Manchester’s Expansion Records shop, opening this Saturday, is in fact the north-west branch of John Anderson’s Kings Lynn Soul Bowl shop, and nothing to do with his similarly named record company’s partner Richard Searling … I spent much of my time at Prestatyn turning people onto the excellent new compilation double album, ‘The RCA Victor Blues & Rhythm Revue‘ (RCA PL86279(2)), which documents (with informative liner notes by Jerry Wexler) the progress of black music from 1940 to the mid-Fifties, through sophisticated big band blues, booting instrumentals, jumping shouts and gospel harmonies to climax in the Isley Brothers’ ‘Shout’ — terrific listening for the historically minded, and, as Chris Brown suggests, a good alternative for hairdressing salon and boutique play … Mark (One) Hewitt, now at Derby’s Pink Coconut and Dudley’s Goldsmiths, when jocking in Spain at Lloret De Mar’s Tropics had not three but five Technics SL1200’s to mix with! … I fear there’s so much advertising on these pages this week that there’s hardly any room for reviews, so check the Black Dance chart for new entries’ Beats Per Minute … DON’T STOP JAMMIN’!

Livewire’s second PRESTATYN WEEKENDER really showed how black music in Britain has polarised into two main types. Although soul and jazz were indeed played, the music that thundered through the speaker stacks to greatest audience response was rap and house. Even Robbie Vincent was playing it! By contrast, instead of the classy jazz and Sixties oldies that were normally featured upstairs, it was Nicky Holloway’s demented Seventies “disco” party that finally packed the smaller floor there. The biggest record by far was Eric B & Rakim, to such an extent that after the opening Friday night’s overdose of “Eric and Derek”, it was virtually banned! The Cookie Crew’s appealing live PA helped ‘Females’ too, while Pete Tong was featuring an acetate of the brilliantly exciting Jazzy Joyce-scratched dub mix of ‘Tighten Up’. The live star, Alexander O’Neal, left ‘Fake’ for his obligatory encore and was all ready to leave (some of the band had even re-boarded the bus) before being persuaded to come back and do his all-time UK classic, ‘What’s Missing’ — which nearly was! A good weekend, with few surprises and no trouble. Prestatyn III is at Easter, April 2/3/4, 1988 – details from Livewire on 01-364 1212.

ALEXANDER O’NEAL got so hot performing at Prestatyn thot he tried to take his tie off — a normally macho act for any male singer, but this time he couldn’t undo the knot, and even with help from the band it took him a hilarious three minutes!

The once again slimline SEAN FRENCH was, as usual, in charge of the Pontins comp’s closed circuit Live Wire Television and radio service, broadcasting interviews, movies and music.

Saturday at Prestatyn coincided with Hallowe’en, and the SPOOKY SOUL SISTERS were the best dressed posse! In the top left corner, incidentally, you can just see local North Wales landowner Sparrow Harrison, on old school chum of John Peel and the man who turned me on to R&B in 1962.

Radio 1’s ROBBIE VINCENT was really chuffed to be given an award for helping make Sherrick’s ‘Just Call’ a top 20 hit, and shored the moment with ConFunkShun’s now solo MICHAEL VERNON COOPER (left) and WEA’s veteran disco plugger FRED DOVE.

Breakout’s ROB MANLEY, Phonogram’s JOHNNY WALKER and Profile’s PAUL OAKENFOLD got so high on “house” (and very silly) that when the time to crash come, they were totally zonked!

Radio Broadlands’ CHRISSIE JACKSON and an enthusiastic visitor from the States, Warner Bros’s vice president of A&R BENNY MEDINA, were the most extrovert dancers on stage, Benny rivalling Morgan Khan’s squirming dance style.

HOT VINYL

DANCE AID ‘Give, Give, Give’ (Supreme Records SUPE T 119) Last year’s Disco Aid charity single totally revamped in 112bpm rinky-tinky happy style by Stock Aitken Waterman, with chinky Chic-ish guitar at times, many of its “allstar” cast like Mel & Kim, Pepsi & Shirlie, Sinitta, Kenny G and Steve Walsh actually being stars this year (inst/edit flip). As the nationally co-ordinated Disco Aid night is this Saturday (14), it’s odd the record isn’t out until Monday.

SHERRICK ‘Let’s Be Lovers Tonight (Extended Dance Remix)’ (Warner Bros W8146T)
Vocally multi-tracked pleasantly swaying (0-)111bpm modern soul wriggler, flipped by the original 112⅓bpm LP Version and wailing staccato (0-)116⅓bpm ‘Do You Baby’, packaged with a poster.

PUBLIC ENEMY ‘Rebel Without A Pause’ (Def Jam 651245 6)
Really intense insistent (0-)99bpm exciting rap jitterer with an ear-snagging screech sound throughout, massive for months and now (after brief deletion) elevated to A-side status, with its useful previously US-only instrumental plus the droning 93bpm ‘Sophisticated Bitch’ and dense 98-86/43-0bpm ‘Terminator X Speaks With His Hands’.

JUST-ICE ‘Going Way Back’ (US Fresh FRE-15)
Toughest new rap of the week, set to a naggingly familiar slinkily undulating 89-0bpm bassline with doodling piano notes (in three mixes), flipped by the reggae toasting 0-82-0bpm ‘Lyric Licking’ (dub too).

EPEE MD ‘It’s My Thing’ (Cooltempo COOLX 156)
Eric B & Rakim-type (0-)102bpm hot import rap based on The Whole Darn Family’s 1976 ‘Seven Minutes Of Funk’ and Marva Whitney’s 1969 ‘It’s My Thing’ (dub too), flipped by the drawling and cutting 93¾bpm ‘You’re A Customer’.

FRANKIE KNUCKLES PRESENTS ‘Baby Wants To Ride’ (US Trax TX150)
Excellent tinkling and muttering conversational sensuous catchy 132-132½-0bpm pulsing house skipper by the uncredited Jamie Principal, amongst others, somewhat homo-erotic maybe but with an anti-war message too (instrumental groaning 117bpm ‘Your Love‘ flip).

PLEASURE ZONE ‘F*** Charley’ (Trax TX 147)
About for a while but hard to find, this controversial 118-123-0bpm answer to ‘House Nation’ refers in its digitally repeated title line to Charley rather than Farley (the Rude Boy Of House), and includes an equally non-airplay 118¼bpm treatment of ‘House Nation’, plus the bounding 130¼bpm ‘Jana‘ instrumental and sparsely pulsing 119⅔bpm ‘Hold These Nuts‘.

JOYCE SIMS ‘Come Into My Life’ (London LONX 161)
Rapid UK turnaround of the radio plugged, and consequently fast-rising, haunting subtle slinky swayer reviewed on import last week, here somehow a seemingly steady 0-94½bpm (was the US tape slipping?).

DOC POWELL ‘Give It Up (Remix)’ (Club JABX 61)
Luther Vandross is among the chanting background singers on this, his guitarist’s UK single, an inconsequential sharp 120¾bpm strutter that’s more ramblingly repeated title line than actual song (119¾bpm LP version and dull instrumental 108¾-0bpm ‘What I Like’ too), out here next week and lifted like the US-Issued ‘What’s Going On’ from his pleasant enough if unessential import LP, ‘Love Is Where It’s At’ (US Mercury 832-720-1), which includes the Benson-ish jogging 95⅙bpm ‘Bad Times’, rolling 111⅓bpm title track, Marcus Miller-created instrumental 112½bpm ‘M&M‘, weaving 0-88bpm ‘Love Finds A Way‘, muttering (0-)113½bpm ‘Don’t Waste My Time‘.

THE C.C.R. CREW ‘Stretchin’ The Pieces (Club Mix)’ (CCR Records CCR DANCE 1 via PRT)
Froggy (seen above) and Livewire’s Adrian Webb have launched their own Circle City Records label with this obviously ‘Roadblock’-inspired excellent very clean sounding go-go-ish tempoed (0-)100⅙bpm brassy revamp of the Average White Band’s ‘Pick Up The Pieces’ (in three good mixes), now of course revealed probably more clearly than when first out as being in the topical James Brown style.

Hi-NRG

PET SHOP Boys ‘Rent’ (Parlophone 12R6168), plaintive rhythmically ambiguous 67½-135/67½bpm pulser;

SAMANTHA FOX ‘I Promise You (Get Ready)’ (Jive FOXY T 7), mindlessly breezy bright 122¼bpm galloper;

AMANDA LUCCI ‘Cry Out In The Night’ (Rise Records RISE T5, via Pinnacle), plaintively shrill wriggly bounding 124⅔bpm thudder;

BLUE ZONE ‘On Fire (Conflagration Mix)’ (Arista/Rockin’ Horse Records RHT 116), soaring girl and two guys-performed Communards-ish jerky pop churner in Francois Kevorkian’s 128-0bpm mix, although when promoed (as by BZ) the A-side was producer Paul Staveley O’Duffy’s now not included 0-128bpm original;

MAN TO MAN ‘At The Gym’ (Bolts BOLTS 10/12), smoothly pounding 120bpm corny Village People-ish galloper;

VISION ‘Under My Thumb’ (Arrow Records 12VIS 1), galloping 133½bpm pop revival of the Rolling Stones’ oldie;

PAMELA NIGHTINGALE ‘A Night To Remember’ (Rise Records RISE T6), ‘I Will Survive’-like lurching 121⅓bpm canterer;

DOLLY DOTS ‘What A Night (Party Night)’ (RCA PT 41614), Stock Aitken Waterman-created not at all fast but Eurobeat flavoured 99½ Bananarama-ish chugger by the Dutch girl group;

JOHANSEN ‘Walkin’ A Fine Line’ (WEA YZ148T), infectiously jiggling 127¼bpm repetitive title chanting Gibson Brothers-ish galloper;

NORMA JEAN ‘Megastar Hits 1’ (Uptown Records 12UTR4, via PRT), ploddingly straightforward 0-117½bpm medley of Madonna’s hits, one after another at at the same tempo;

JENNIFER HALL ‘Danger Men At Work’ (Warner Bros W8162T), spikily speeding 140bpm small voiced jerky mutterer by Sir Peter Hall and Leslie Caron’s theatrical daughter;

MIDNIGHT SUNRISE ‘This Is A Haunted House’ (Nightmare MARE 36), dreadful unison-chanted 121¼-0bpm pseudo-house, supported only by friends of the producer;

FRESH ‘Summer In The City’ (Jive JIVE T 154), pedestrian jittery 113½bpm girl duo revival of the Lovin’ Spoonful’s oldie;

MARTYN LACEY featuring Angie Gold ‘Cruising In The Park’ (Passion PASH 12 80), tedious jittery 117½bpm Eurobeat trotter in a dreadful phonetic-type Rap Mix or innocuous Hi-NRG Mix;

MICHAEL PAUL HILL ‘She’s My Queen’ (Big Top MBT 04), sombrely sung Euro-flavoured 122½-0bpm jiggler.
