August 13, 1988: “Enough ACIEED already! Remember soul?”

BEATS & PIECES

HASTILY ARRANGED so that a date could be announced, the Steve Walsh tribute Soul Night Out will no longer be at Hammersmith’s Le Palais where its Mecca owners (who never supported the Walsh-fronted Dance Aid nights either) have decided that their regular Thursdays are doing quite well enough now that the venue’s been refurbished, so, still on the some date – Thursday, August 18 – the Radio London-relayed event will instead be held at Leicester Square’s Empire Ballroom, where the First Leisure management have welcomed this benefit night for the late DJ’s family (nowhere will it be the same without Steve actually being there, although one thing that might revive the authentic atmosphere would be a PA by Aswad) … Marshall Jefferson has remixed Chris Paul ‘Turn The Music Up’ … Jolley Harris Jolley are remixing Pieces Of A Dream ‘Rising To The Top’, to coincide with the group’s UK visit next month — in fact their import LP is now out here (EMI-Manhattan MTL 1030) … Derek B is producing a rap by basketball stars the Harlem Globetrotters, for release on Beatmaster Records! … S’Express, still with an apostrophe but with the “E” back in place, now appears to be the way in which the name is officially spelt … BlueBird Records finally did take over the old Record Shack shop in Soho’s Berwick Street, and are now open there … Les Cokell has opened his own “High Energy” specialising shop (stocking rare oldies including those hard to find Hot Tracks and Disconet subscription discs from the States), called Energhighs Records in the Clone Zone, 37-39 Bloom Street, Manchester 2 (telephone 061-236 1398) … Sylvester is widely reported by US trade papers to be suffering from AIDS … Dave Randall’s disco promotion service Clubnet has moved to Unit 7, Grand Union Centre, West Row, Ladbroke Grove, London W10 5AZ (01-968 9661) … No Strings Attached is the name by which South London remix DJ Perry Daniels now is credited (on such as the new Natalie Cole medley, see her review), Perry handling samples and mixing while colleague King Enri programmes the drum machines and produces, and Enri’s brother ploys keyboards and engineers — their latest total production being their own ‘House On The Hill’, a ‘Hill Street Blues’ soundtrack dialogue sampling house chugger that’s set for release soon on a major label … Chapter 8’s keenly awaited new LP will be out here on Capitol at the end of the month, as close as possible to its US release (there are already cassette promos in circulation) … ‘Put Your Hands Together‘, emerging as the hottest cut or their new album, will be Eric B & Rakim’s follow-up single in about three weeks … ‘Talkin’ All That Jazz’ will likewise be Stetsasonic’s follow-up on September 5, while the next Rose Royce reissue is ‘I Wanna Get Next To You’ … Beats Workin’ ‘Sure Beats Workin’’ would appear to have been withdrawn by ffrr, presumably in the hope that it might eventually build up the consumer demand that so far has yet to materialise — Balearic being all talk and ecstacy rather than a real chart force despite the hype … Robin King from Jack Trax points out that the Night Writers ‘Let The Music (Use You)‘ has been something of an anthem for the last 18 months or so, at London’s more seriously trendy Balearic-type venues (except, he hastily adds, it’s much more solid and soulful than that might suggest!) … Sound Assassins buyers seem to prefer the flip’s more percussively spacious (0-)117¾-0bpm Spectrum Edit version of ‘Get Out Of My House!’ (reviewed last week) … Loose Ends’ latest album has so far sold a quarter of a million copies in the US during its first six weeks … Desa, with guests DJ Trix and DJ A-Ski, has opened The Bassment on Fridays in Merseyside’s rendezvous for serious groovers, inside Birkenhead’s Comet Car Park (this bizarre address being behind Hamilton Square sta-tion in Argyle Street) … York’s seriously crucial Sweatbox hosts a cruise on the river Ouse this Saturday (13), leaving Kings Stoith at 7pm with DJs Bri G, Rockie and Soul Pete then getting down (or off?) at the Bonding Warehouse … Norman Scott is back doing one hour guest spots most Mondays at the reopened gay Bang disco in London Charing Cross Road’s Busbys … Johnny Walker guests next Wednesday (17) at Tottenham Websters’ weekly acid house Buzz night – acieed! …  Kingston-upon-Thames Hoofers has pure acid Thursdays with Jazzy M, Jasper (The VJ) and Steve Roberts … Rayners Lane Record & Disco Centre owner Jon Jules, not to be outdone, bought an “F” reg white Vauxhall Astro GTE convertible, while poor Les Adams is only able to drive his Toyota Supra for short distances while his bum heals — he had a huge cyst cut out of it just as his “F” reg dream car was delivered … NANU NANU!

HOT VINYL

D.J. JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE ‘A Nightmare On My Street (Extended Mix)’ (US Jive 1125-1-JD)
Another slow talking vignette of contemporary American teenage life — about the perils of horror movies! — this ‘Amityville (House On The Hill)’-type 85¼-0bpm rolling “spooky” rap is the duo’s new US single (Instrumental/Edit too, and slippery scratching 0-127½-0bpm ‘Rhythm Trax — House Party Style‘), while here we get again ‘Parents (Just Don’t Understand) (Danny D Remix)’ (Jive JIVE R 169), Dancin’ Danny D speeding up the amusingly chatted US smash to a more usefully jiggling 92⅚bpm tempo with rare grooving piano and brass, its main appeal though still being as a potential pop crossover once enough people have seen its popular video (and provided Derek B hasn’t already satiated the market here for first person story telling raps!).

JEFFREY OSBORNE ‘One Love — One Dream’ (US A&M SP-5205)
Faithful fans will immediately lap up this overdue return on LP by the soulful baritone — seemingly more given to singing the American national anthem than making records these days! — although there’s not an awful lot on it for the dance crowd. Best bets there are probably the vigorously lurching 112½bpm ‘(You Can’t Get) Love From A Stone’, pleasantly swaying 96⅓bpm ‘Can’t Go Back On A Promise‘ and spikily leaping and kicking happy Brazillian style 119½-0bpm ‘La Cuenta, Por Favor‘, otherwise the joltingly rolling 116bpm title track and gruffly sincere slow 65bpm ‘Cindy’, 0-33-0bpm ‘My Heart Can Wait Forever’, 0-37½bpm ‘All Because Of You’, 29-58-0bpm ‘True Believers’ and 75/37½bpm ‘The Family’ are radio aimed, while the tensely jerking 111¼bpm ‘She’s On The Left’ is a tighter vocal version of his new import 12 inch, reviewed separately in Hot Vinyl.

CHUBB ROCK ‘Caught Up (Remix)’ (US Select FMS 62317)
Maybe not quite so innovative as ‘Follow The Leader’ but just as excitingly different, this urgent rap is based in spasmodic spurts on James Brown’s ‘I Got Ants In My Pants’ beat, with “man – woman – earth – infinity” pauses and rhythm shifts breaking up the momentum and making it so unusual, in 108-108̿⅓-108⅙bpm Remix, 109-109⅓-109⅙bpm Instrumental, 108⅓bpm Bonus rapid re-edit and 95bpm Original mixes, the latter completely unlike the rest and quite funny in sexist Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince style, bragging about the stiffness of his Johnson and other attributes!

COLDCUT featuring JUNIOR REID & The Ahead Of Our Time Orchestra ‘Stop This Crazy Thing’ (Ahead Of Our Time HOTPLATE 5)
Hotplate 5 is a jauntily pimping 107⅓-0bpm go-go-ish jolting jiggler studded with sneaky samples, Tarzan yells (but no ‘Jane’, you’ll note), and some vintage muted trumpet behind Junior’s urgent message – which may or may not be a plea to stop global self-destruction, as it doesn’t really make a point (dubwise Speng and instrumental Beat mixes too).

BEATMASTERS ‘Burn It Up’ (Rhythm King LEFT 27T)
“Don’t stop” is the simple contradictory message – don’t stop dancing — in this long awaited follow-up by the Soho advertising trio, minus the Cookie Crew now, a strident girl squawked and guys chorused repetitively churning 115½-0bpm jitterer with shrill strings and a dated rhythm drive, made powerful by its sheer remorseless persistent insistence (frequency bending much calmer ‘Acid Burn‘ B-side treatment), probably not due fully for a few weeks although about on pre-release.

EDDIE STOCKLEY ‘I Will Always Love You’ (Mango Street 12 15344)
Now taking off like a rocket although largely ignored while an Import (on 4th + B’way — so why the shift here to Island’s other dance label?), this attractively burbling lightly soulful Blaze-ish 118-117⅔-0bpm house canterer is flipped here by a new much faster, less subtle and in fact almost unrecognisable 127-0bpm Acid House Remix, which won’t stop it selling!

SAHARA ‘Love So Fine (88 Remix)’ (Fast Forward FFO 2)
Now also known in the USA as Intimate Connection, the London group’s still popular oldie has been given a juddery dubwise (0-)104-0bpm remix with the vocals reduced to stuttery excerpts as it jiggles and jolts along, still remaining a cool and quite sweet jogger — the flip has the girls cooed original (0-)108bpm Club Remix and lusher Radio Remix.

VICTOR ROMEO and THE MOVE featuring Reggie Hall ‘I Want Your Love (Club House)’ (US Dance Mania Records DM 013)
Cymbal shushed episodically burbling 121⅓bpm house bounder, Cynthia Moffett wailing at times, guys joining in on the more acidically swimming House Mix and muttering on the Dub Mix, but the vinyl is actually selling more for the self descriptively titled leaping and spurting, synth twittered, “acid acid acid/house” repeating 122-0bpm ‘The Art Of Acid’ (not that it’s the anthem this might suggest).

THE ANSWER ‘John’ (US Rockin’ House RH008)
Hi-hat hissed speedy but thin sounding 128½-0bpm canterer, instrumental in (naturally) the Instrumental John and Acid John mixes, or with strange slowed-down muttering offset by stratospheric Sylvester-ish whinneying in the vocal Club John and House John versions.

DEREK JONES ‘Homeboy’ (US Rockin’ House RH009)
Candice (a girl) wailed quite hauntingly unusual joltingly cantering 119⅓bpm house throbber in four mixes, none actually acid (for a change) although the Dub Mix has an ethereal effect.

DRUM and BASS ‘I·Love·U’ (WAU Recordings WAU 1, via Big Life/Gee St Recordings)
Frantically galloping (0-)125⅓bpm Hi-NRG house with sensuous male muttering and stuttery “I love you” girls (Instrumental, and more acidic Claw-Acieeed!! flipside versions), which had I checked it earlier should really have been listed under Pop Dance, or even Hi-NRG!

MYOSHI MORRIS ‘Muzik’ (US Rockin’ House RH007)
Title line nagged chanting percussive 124⅓bpm acid house in five different mixes, building excitingly in Tyree’s Co-Ed Entertainment Mix, Mike Dunn providing “house piano” for Mike’s House Mix, Hugo Hi! contributing washing machine synth to his Feel It Mix, Tyree again mashing up the Music Mental Mix and The Mob dropping test tubes for the Stupid Lab Mix.

FREDDIE JACKSON ‘Don’t Let Love Slip Away’ (Capitol EST 2067)
Enough ACIEED!! already! Back among the soul folk, Freddie’s new smash hit LP is much as you’d expect of the suave romancer, with the attractively swaying 96⅚bpm ‘Don’t Let Love Slip Away’, smoothly drifting 87bpm ‘Special Lady‘, sinuously lurching 0-111¾bpm ‘Crazy (For Me)’ (his next UK single), Marvin Gaye-ish (0-)103⅚bpm ‘Nice ‘N’ Slow’ (his current single), slinkily undulating 84½bpm ‘Hey Lover’, gently agonised 89⅚bpm ‘You And I Got A Thang’, sweet 39/78bpm ‘It’s Gonna Take A Long, Long Time’, meandering 39/78bpm ‘One Heart Too Many’, jerkily wriggling 110½bpm ‘If You Don’t Know Me By Now’ (new song), wordily convoluted 92½bpm ‘Yes, I Need You’.

NATALIE COLE ’Jump Start (Dance Mix)’ (EMI-Manhattan 12MT 50)
Car ignition introed staccato 0-122¾bpm wriggly basher reissued from last October, flipped now by the still evidently on demand soulfully swaying 87⅔bpm ‘I Wanna Be That Woman (12″ Version)‘ (already B-side to ‘Pink Cadillac’) plus a brand new meatily driving 0-123½-123¾-123½bpm ‘Jump Start/Pink Cadillac (Ignition Megamix)’ medley neatly created by South London DJ Perry Daniels and friends (see Beats & Pieces for further info).

GREGORY HINES ‘That Girl Wants To Dance With Me’ (Epic 652812 8)
The dancing actor follows his chum Luther’s example to the letter on this Vandross-created, Jellybean-remixed, lightly swirling 119¾-0bpm swinger in ‘Searching’ derived ‘I Gave It Up When I Fell In Love’ style (dub/inst flip), finally out here.

JEFFREY OSBORNE ‘She’s On The Left (12” Version)’ (US A&M SP-12280)
Quite pleasant wriggly tapping, thudding and swaying 111¼bpm jitterer with a tense long lead-in like his old ‘Plane Love’, except that was around five years ago and things have changed radically in discos since then, which may make this tempo difficult to fit in outside of the few remaining real “soul” venues (dub/acappella flip). Remember soul?

MICHAEL COOPER ‘Quickness (Speedy 12” Mix)’ (US Warner Bros/King Jay Records 0-20950)
The ConFunkShun guy solos in one man band style on a self-produced/arranged/performed and co-penned jerkily snapping light wriggly 120⅔-bpm Cameo-ish bubbler (in five mixes, plus his old album’s unremixed coolly rolling 109⅓bpm ‘Look Before You Leave’).

INCORPORATED THANG BAND ‘Body Jackin’ (Remix)’ (US Warner Bros 0-20709)
George Clinton and Bootsy Collins-produced/co-penned loosely rambling 112½bpm P’funk lurcher by a three guys/two girls group, with some nice touches should any club these days still be playing funk, let alone P’funk (inst flip).

POP DANCE

JELLYBEAN featuring RICHARD DARBYSHIRE ‘Coming Back For More (Part 1)’ (Chrysalis JELX 4), the percussion started orientally tinged throbbing jiggly 114¾-0bpm chugger from upcoming movie ‘The Man In The Glass Booth’, promoed initially as an instrumental, is now out commercially here with Living In A Box leader Darbyshire’s gruff vocal nagging through the beat, plus an instrumental 115-0bpm Part 2 and a jerkily booming instrumental 114¾-0bpm Funhouse Mix of the old ‘Sidewalk Talk’;

SARAH JANE MORRIS ‘Can’t Get To Sleep Without You’ (Jive SJMT 1), the Communards’ guest vocalist on ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’ huskily solos through a ‘Jazz Freak’-like (0-)134bpm brassy swinger, not incredibly original maybe but at that joyfully freewheeling infectious tempo that always makes you snap your fingers and feel good;

AREEBA-REEBA ‘Peanut Vendor (Fiesta Mix)’ (MCA Records MCAT 1270), girls chanted brassily braying 117⅔-118-118¼bpm breezy modern treatment of 1930’s Latin American classic from Cuba (originally titled ‘El Manisero’), probably best remembered in Stan Kenton’s big band treatment from the Forties (mixing DJs beware, it first defines the “on” beat before the bass beat comes in to throw you!);

H.F.M. ‘Peanuts (Club Mix)’ (Circle City Records PT1, via PRT), a strange coincidence, the same old Cuban song in another more pedestrian but possibly more easily useable 0-117¾bpm treatment, with chanting chaps adding in medleying bursts of ‘Oops Up Side Your Head’/’Get Down Tonight’/’Hot Hot Hot’/’That’s The Way I Like It (Uh-Huh, Uh-Huh)’/’Goodbyee’, in more blatantly “holiday camp” style.

---

REMIXES

YAZZ and the PLASTIC POPULATION ‘The Only Way Is Up (The Bam Bam Remix)’ (Big Life BLR 4R), Chris ‘Bam Bam’ Westbrook in fact remixed both this probably welcome “harder” 123¾-123⅔bpm acidic remix and the flip’s truly “acid” 0-123¾-123⅔bpm The Up Up Up Mix (there’s also a sizzling and snarling sulphuric 124⅓bpm brand new ‘Bad House Music‘ track);

KYLIE MINOGUE ‘The Loco-Motion (Sankie Mix)’ (PWL Records PWLT 14R), another frantically rattling 128¾bpm Hi-NRG remix by the Extra Beat Boys, more smoothly galloping than the Kohaku Mix;

FINI TRIBE ‘De Testimony (Batter Mix)’ (Fini Flex Records FT002, via Fast Forward/The Cartel), three throbbing, pattering and bashing 129¼-0bpm new mixes of the chimes-clanging Balearic beat from their ‘Let The Tribe Grow’ EP, guest DJs Scooby Doo & Shaggy 2 increasing the laughter and gibberish chatter effects on the flip’s freakier Pick ‘n’ Mix (beware the complete false finish just 75 seconds from the start);

EVELYN ‘CHAMPAGNE’ KING ‘Hold On To What You’ve Got (England 0 Puerto Rico 2 Mix)’ (EMI-Manhattan 12MTX49), Robert Clivilles & David Cole have actually created several remixes (the first 12 inch version included, not that it was credited as such), this and the also 108½bpm New York Vocal flip both being rather lethargically jittering;

THE FUNKY WORM ‘Hustle! (To The Music…) (Postdora Mix)’ (FON/WEA FON 15TX), stripped down (0-)121bpm percussive remix minus the original Predora Mix’s organ, primarily for creative marketing (the Chipmunk/Smurf-type intro is meant to be at 45rpm, this little “funky worm” then vocalising through the possibly harder though short ‘Hustle! The Beat Is The Lawn’ version too — yes, that should be “Lawn” not “Law”!), evidently created by FON Force as the separate T-Coy and Graeme Park remixes may apparently only be on promo;

THE FOUR SEASONS featuring Frankie Valli ‘Oh What A Night (December, 1963) (Summer ’88 12” Remix)’ (German BCM Records B.C. 12-2139-40), Ben Liebrand, in another of his celebrated oldie revamps, strips down the 1976 version to just its vocals plus some piano and then builds a brand new 105⅙-104-106-104-105⅙(break)-104bpm backing track, which nevertheless retains the lurching momentum if not the sound of the original;

CAROL CAYNE ‘What My Love Can Bring (Illegal Mix)’ (Syncopate 12SYX 12), dreadful untidy 0-115⅓-0bpm Double Trouble remix — too clever for its own good, with stuttery scratching, drop-ins and interruptions — of a German soul wailer which if only it could be left to itself might just prove to be that untrendy rarity, a good song well performed.
