January 9, 1988: Public Enemy, Sweet Tee, Jermaine Stewart, Spoonie Gee, Big Daddy Kane

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

The 1988 Technics UK DJ Mixing Championships regional heats kicked off on Monday at Edinburgh’s Zonatec and Tuesday at Stockton’s The Mall, other dates to come being this Wednesday (Jan 6) at Manchester’s Hacienda, then Mon (11) Norbury’s The Sussex, Tues (12) Uxbridge Regals, Wed (13) Southampton New York New York, Mon (18) Bristol Papillon, Wed (20) Leeds Mr Craigs, Tues (26) Nottingham Ritzy, Thur (28) Portrush Traks. I’ll be joining the judges at all but the deadline clashing Wed/Thursday dates, the regional semi-finals – which’ll include a rap competition – being in February, Tuesday (2) at Warrington Mr Smith’s, Thur (4) Birmingham The Dome, Wed (10) Ealing Broadway Boulevard, with the UK finals Tues (16) at London’s Hippodrome… I may look large and unlikely, but do come up and say hello!… Radio 1’s Friday night dance music DJ Jeff Young has indeed moved his day job from Phonogram to A&M, while Johnny Walker has shifted within the Phonogram group of labels, now doing club promotion for London and Urban, with further A&R responsibilities for ffrr (the new dance logo)… Dancin’ Danny D meanwhile also could be moving west, if he makes his mind up… Horizon Radio has gone legit broadcasting from Marbella to the Spanish coastline on 96.2FM, starting in March – programme controller Chris Stewart is looking for seriously committed DJs’ demo tapes at 1-2 Bromley Place, London W1P 5HB… Wizzards Of Rock ‘Good Thang/Stone To The Bone’ is already out here on Champion (CHAMP 12-60), Rhythm King having picked up Bomb The Bass ‘Beat Dis’ for Jan 18 release in a similar manoeuvre, merely slapping white labels on the original US pressings… ffrr’s upcoming ‘Acid Tracks’ compilation LP has been promoted in advance by white label singles with Frankie Knuckles’ terrific strangulatedly gospel-ish soulful semi-instrumental 120⅓bpm ‘Only The Strong Survive’ (the Jerry Butler/Billy Paul oldie) flipped by Romance’s moaning 120½bpm ‘All Dis Music’ (LPSMP 1), and Jamie Principle’s previously mentioned slow remake of ‘Baby Wants To Ride’ (FFRDJ 1), now a loping mutterer that sounds almost too slow, in 118-0bpm Club Mix, 118-118¾bpm House Of Trix, 118¾-118-118⅔-0bpm X-Rated, and 0-118-118⅓-0bpm Dub remixes by Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley… Urban’s four-tracker by James Brown, due commercially Jan 18, has the previously unavailable 0-114-115¼-114½-117½bpm ‘She’s The One’, and much scratched 102⅔-104½-102⅔-105-103⅔-103⅓bpm ‘Funky President’, 0-95⅔-96-95⅓-95-96⅔-98-98⅔ (“hit it”)-100⅔ (“ain’t it funky”)-101⅓-99-100⅔-101⅔bpm ‘Funky Drummer’, loop edited 98⅔-0bpm ‘Funky Drummer (Bonus Beats)’ – yup, I just love bpm-ing rare grooves!… Derby’s Submission label owning def dude, Graeme Park, has promoed a superior house double-sider by Groove, with two 116½bpm mixes of ‘Dancing And Music’ plus 119¾bpm Electro Jack and 119⅔ Jazzy mixes of ‘Submit (To The Beat)’, out late January… T-Coy ‘I Like To Listen’ is in a calmer 118-0bpm MP Remix and gently percussive 117¼bpm Nude House Mix on white label (deConstruction NSMR 6242), Pet Shop Boys ‘Always On My Mind’ is in a poundingly unsubtle Hi-NRG 124⅔bpm Remix helped by Phil Harding (Parlophone 12RX 6171), while the Beatmasters & Cookie Crew ‘Rok Da House’ has been reissued to meet northern demand in its hurriedly chanted (0-)123½-0bpm original mix (Rhythm King LEFT R11T), flipped by Ivan Ivan’s much tighter but less engaging new 122½bpm US Remix and piano jangled 123½-0bpm Dub (to be followed next week by a more London-orientated Demolition Mix)… Krush have a ‘Remix Mark 2’ due too… TV commercials for the Brook Street Bureau and The Observer, amongst others, have soundtracks by the Beatmasters… US chart success, with consequent UK TV exposure by Jonathan King and Casey Kasem, has caused the reissue of Pretty Poison ‘Catch Me (I’m Falling)’ (10 Records TENT 187), bright Shannon-esque girl group pop that’s featured in the ‘Hiding Out’ film… Seeborn & Puma’s backing track is the Headhunters’ ‘If You’ve Got It You’ll Get It’… JC Reid (Brighton Club Savannah) find the JAMs ‘Downtown’ and Middle Of The Road ‘Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep’ synch together perfectly!… ‘Downtown’ in its video version is presumably the seven inch mix, with a Scottish accented gospel lyric which greatly lessens its impact as a house record – I have Neil Fincham (Edinburgh Styx) to thank for the info that the Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu are basically Glasgow’s Bill Drummond, and Neil plus others to thank for sending me copies of ‘Whitney Joins The JAMs’, which in the inevitable way of these things I actually found for myself immediately after saying I didn’t have it!… DJ Pierre (that’s D Jean-Pierre rather than Disc Jockey Pierre) apparently is the common link between Fantasy Club ‘Mystery Girl’, Pierre’s Fantasy Club ‘Fantasy Girl’, and Phuture ‘Acid Trax’… Gullivers moved to its new club premises in Soho’s Ganton Street a couple of days late in the end, which meant that the Mayfair site stayed open a week longer – although the “final” night remained as announced, Fatman Graham Canter making a brief emotional appearance, before I played 50 minutes of all the great clichés… Steve Jerome – who usually recorded as just Jerome – sadly died of a heart attack before Christmas, aged only 35… PWL produced singles for some reason suddenly all seem to be pressed in blue vinyl… Les Adams’ most frequent cry while tape editing in his tiny studio is “Where’s the chinagraph?” – it’s always on the keyboards!… 1988 is a brand new year, so let a man come in and do the funky popcorn, YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYIN’?

---

PUBLIC ENEMY ‘Bring The Noise’ was actually added in its original version to a very few copies of ‘Rebel Without A Pause’ a month ago, but is now in two different new 109bpm remixes, the Noise Version (US Def Jam 44 07545) being more fully fleshed and exciting than the UK-issued No Noise Version (Def Jam 651335 6), the latter backed more simply by the strutting arrangement of the No Noise Instrumental that’s common to both. We also get their guitar yowled languidly rolling 96bpm ‘Sophisticated‘, the import retaining its original coupling which has just been released separately here, THE BLACK FLAMES ‘Are You My Woman?‘ (Def Jam 651334 6), a lurching 101⅓bpm good modern adaptation of the old Temptations-type vocal group style, flipped less appealingly though by someone else’s ramblingly dated song from the ‘Less Than Zero’ film.

---

HOT VINYL

SWEET TEE ‘I Got Da Feelin’’ (Cooltempo COLX 160)
Hurby Luv Bug-produced brilliant 110⅘bpm female rap hinged on James Brown’s ‘Cold Sweat’, with Betty Wright’s ‘Clean Up Woman’ influencing the flip’s 100½-0bpm ‘It’s Like That Y’All’.

JERMAINE STEWART ‘Say It Again (Extended Remix)’ (10 Records TENR 188)
Phil Harding’s excellent jiggly 0-95⅓bpm go-go hip hop mix starts in two-year-old-sounding Mantronix/Full Force style before the soulfully plaintive song eventually sways attractively through it with really grabbing effect, a potential smash (except the existing seven inch mix is dreadful).

SPOONIE GEE ‘I’m All Shook Up’ (US Tuff City TUF 128023)
Teddy Riley-produced dynamite jiggly James Brown-based 100⅓bpm rap quoting briefly at times from Elvis Presley’s ‘All Shook Up’, with a misleadingly titled though ‘Set It Off’-ish instrumental 108bpm ‘Godfather House Mix’ flip.

BIG DADDY KANE ‘Raw’ (US Prism PS 2016)
Marley Marl-produced fast talking nervy 109⅘-109⅔bpm rap jitterer cutting in James Brown, Bobby Byrd and the JBs with the same screech noise as Public Enemy (DubApella too).

COLDCUT featuring Plastic Man & The Plastic People ‘Doctor In The House’ (Ahead Of Our Time HOTHED 102)
Messrs Black + More create a Krush-ish strong chugging 0-117½-0bpm groove pumped up by the usual surfeit of scratched and sampled stuff, more house than hip hop (less elaborate instrumental flip). Can you take care of it?

BRICK ‘Dazz (The Def Mix)’ (US Magic City Records MCR-BR-1)
Much smoothed out largely unrecognisable jittery 0-108⅓-108-0bpm Latin Rascals remix of the 11 year-old disco-jazz classic, closer to the way it was in their more jaggedly driving and probably preferable 0-108⅓-108-108⅙-0bpm Original Remix flipside.

VARIOUS ‘House Beats 1’ (Warrior Records WRLP 001, via Pinnacle)
Handy compilation LP of previously unreleased UK house acts, with the excitingly scratching chattery 121¼-122⅓-0bpm LOVE EXPLOSION ‘Pump House’, nervy hip hop-house 124-120½bpm DJ MUHAMMAD ALLAH ‘Wiggle And Waggle’, JB-cut bounding (0-)120bpm JACK FACTORY ‘Jackin’ James’, atmospherically jangling 123¼-0bpm DIMENSION ‘Power House’, bubbling 122¼-0bpm GROOVE ‘Dancing And Music’ (not the separately promoed mix), acid 120⅓bpm THE CAUCASIAN KID ‘Jackin’ Confusion’, vocally nagging 121⅓bpm THE ROCKING FORCE ‘You’re Not Changing’, loping 121⅔-0bpm THE BROTHERHOOD OF HOUSE ‘Sucker For The House’, cooing 120¾bpm THE SISTERS ‘D’ ‘Find The Key’, NRG-etic (0-)122¼-0bpm NEW CHAPTER ‘Let’s All Dance The House’.

LIVING IN A BOX ‘Love Is The Art’ (Chrysalis LIBX 4)
Soulfully moaned jittery cantering 121¾bpm house bounder, strong as that but possibly not enough of a song to cross over.

TERRI JONES ‘Take Me I’m Yours’ (US JasStar Records JS-1002)
Soulfully warbled good skipping house bounder for New Jersey, in 117⅓bpm Radio/Instrumental, 117½bpm Club Dub/Bonus Mixes.

THE MICROPHONE PRINCE ‘Memory Lane’ (Magnetic Dance MAGDT 11)
Dennis Edwards’ ‘Paid In Full’ bassline-based good 96⅓(-0)bpm rap, stronger than the A-side 96½bpm ‘Rock House’ retread of The Commodores’ ‘Brick House’, but sadly lacking his brilliant ‘Hound Dog’ (so buy American if you can).

WALTER BEASLEY ‘I’m So Happy’ (Urban URBX 14)
Pleasant ‘I Found Lovin’’-ish 97bpm soulful chunky jogger with this music professor’s own jazzy sax, especially on the flip’s skipping instrumental (0-)116½bpm ‘Jump On It’.

JEROME ‘SECRET WEAPON’ PRISTER AND OUTPUT ‘Say You’ll Be’ (Sure Delight SDT 4, via Jet Star/EMI).
Davy D-produced gently soulful (0-)107-106½-106⅔-106½-106⅔-108bpm jogging duet, as suspected a sneaky nagger that did end up a real “grower” in London on import.

BARRY WHITE ‘Never Never Gonna Give You Up (Mammoth Mix)’ (Club JABX 59)
Paul Hardcastle remixed and overdubbed 0-87½-87⅓-87⅙-0bpm bumpy revamp of romantic Barry’s classic swayer, his second hit from exactly 14 years ago (new shorter 0-87⅓bpm Extended Version too), flipped by the attractively orchestrated languidly doodling 92⅔/46⅓-92⅓-91⅓-91⅔-91-91½-91bpm ‘September When I First Met You‘.

ULTIMATE III ‘I Need Some Money’ (US Sutra SUD 071)
Sparse fast talking jittery 0-104⅔bpm undulating rap with a minimal ‘For The Love Of Money’ bassline, plus a rather limp roughly sung, more than rapped, 0-99-0bpm remake of the Jackson 5’s ‘I Want You Back’.

COUSIN RACHEL ‘You Give Me So Much’ (Supreme Records SUPET 121)
‘Mr Sleaze’-style girls chanted bubbling 102½-102⅓bpm jiggler with muted trumpet and the ‘Roadblock’ beat, but not its intensity (possibly harder Dub Mix).

THE JURY ‘Thank You’ (US Culture Shock Records CS-12-2201)
Tugging jittery 0-96⅔-96½-0bpm retread of Sly & The Family Stone’s ultra-funky 1970 US number one, ‘Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)’ (93bpm ‘Cooling’ too).

LISA MITCHELL ‘Rescue Me’ (US Jump Street JS-1013)
Jerkily flowing 119⅓bpm New York “garage” leaper (not the Fontella Bass oldie), probably thought of here as house.

IMAGINATION ‘Instinctual’ (RCA PT 41698)
Arthur Baker and Paul Gurvitz-created, Phil Harding-mixed, murkily churning 0-115bpm Living In A Box-ish groove with not much actual song cutting through the Jack Leee Freak Mix and Borough Dub Dub Mix (stronger pop edit).

TURNTABLE TERROR TRAX VOLUME 4 ‘Jammin’’ (US Bassment Records BM-0081)
Craig Bevan’s latest instalment is a sparsely burbling 120⅓bpm New York house instrumental flipped by the more urgent 122⅓bpm ‘Pain (Feel It)’, both in two mixes, neither that special.

RAY PARKER JR with NATALIE COLE ‘Over You’ (Geffen Records GEF33T)
Slow starting 37-74-0-74bpm attractive radio ballad, flipped by Ray’s solo wriggly Marvin Gaye-ish 100bpm ‘Lovin’ You’.

POINT 3 FM ‘So Delicious’ (Now & Forever FNWT 1, via Westside Records)
Guys harmonised 105⅕bpm meandering wriggly jitterer carefully crafted for the London soul crowd.

TERRY BILLY ‘Don’t Lock Me Out’ (US Atlantic 0-86623)
Hauntingly pitched girl sung 110bpm wriggler extraordinarily similar to Joyce Sims’ ‘All And All’ (in four mixes).

L.A. MIX ‘Don’t Stop (Jammin’) (The Brutal Remix)’ (German BCM Records BC 12-2059-40)
Smoother 114½bpm remix with some Nitro DeLuxe influence in the busier underlying rhythm jitter, created exclusively for Germany.

ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK ‘Penitentiary III’ (RCA PL86663)
Consistently selling various artists LP, its hottest tracks unlikely to be singles, the sultry jiggly jogging 91½bpm YARBROUGH & PEOPLES ‘Special’, huskily impassioned rolling (0-)105½bpm LA RUE ‘Can’t Let It Go’, jerkily jogging 0-104bpm GAP BAND ‘Sweeter Than Candy’, snappily whipping (0-)120bpm MIDNIGHT STAR ‘Do The Prep’.

ADONIS and the Endless Poker ‘The Poke (Jackmaster Mix)’ (DJ International Records DJINT 1, via Westside Records)
Sharply “sizzling” noisy 118⅓bpm acid house jitterer with disjointed shouts and monotonous momentum (sparse 0-118¾bpm B-side mix).

RAZE ‘Caught U Cheatin’’ (Champion CHAMP 12-58)
Chunkily loping routine 118bpm synthesised instrumental (the group’s Darryl Pandy-ish new vocalist Keith Thompson growling on the 117⅓bpm seven inch version, included only on promo 12 inch), flipped by the old (0-)121⅔bpm ‘Jack The Groove (Extended House Mix)’.

ATLANTIC STARR ‘Let The Sun In (Extended Version)’ (Warner Bros W8145T)
Somewhat sombre (0-)105½-0bpm rolling tugger remixed by Bruce Forest, much more for soul than for pop crowds.

THE CHOSEN TWO ‘This Is Talent’ (US Rohit Records RR-12-44001)
Good tense 103⅔bpm rap ‘n’ scratch with some of the obligatory JB (95⅔bpm ‘Yo Swift’ and 78bpm ‘Ex Girl’, plus instrumentals too).

JUST-ICE ‘Kool & Deadly (Justicizms)’ (US French Records LPRE-5)
Fascinating reggae-accented rap LP in which his all-important voice carries (and often creates) the beat, with the explicitly started powerful but almost backing-less 0-87-0bpm ‘The Original Gangster Of Hip Hop’, reggae 92-0bpm ‘Moshitup’, “live” effect 0-88½-0bpm ‘Kool & Deadly’, sombre strolling 86⅓bpm ‘On The Strength’, angry 95⅔bpm ‘Freedom Of Speech’, 0-89-0bpm ‘Booga Bandit Bitch’.

CHARLIE SINGLETON and Modern Man ‘Nothing Ventured: Nothing Gained (Silly Dance Remix)’ (Epic NV T1)
Larry Blackmon-mixed routine US-aimed 117½bpm sharply jittering funk snapper by a sometime member of Cameo.
