November 4, 1989: Sharon Dee Clarke, Doug Lazy, L.A. Mix, Mr. Lee, Luther Vandross

BEATS & PIECES

BBC RADIO 1 had a “mass debate” (don’t say that too fast!) at Milton Keynes’ The Point last week, the first of several to bring the topic ‘This Is Your Radio 1’ to different parts of the country, with Simon Bates chairing a panel comprised of zany afternoon jock Steve Wright, music department head Roger Lewis, daytime programmes editor Chris Lycett, and John Peel’s veteran producer (a broadcasting personality in his own right) John Walters — most of the largely young, autograph seeking, audience seemed to be confirmed satisfied listeners, as might be expected, but the panel were made to wriggle a bit by some pointed questions, not least from the representatives of the area’s brand new local legal Horizon Radio (a further subdivision of “The Hot FM”, Chiltern Radio) . . . Chris Lycett, who seems pretty keen on Italo house as programming fodder, was afterwards forced to admit “We missed the boat on that one” when pressed as to why Radio 1 were so late in play-listing Soul II Soul’s chart-topper! . . Total Contrast report lots of chequebook waving major label interest in their Tongue ‘N’ Cheek ‘Encore’ creation, but reckon it’s hot enough already on their own aptly titled Big Buzz label to take care of itself until they get the album deal they’re looking for! . . . Quartz ‘Meltdown’ is the creation of Dave Rawlings and Ron Herel from Leytonstone’s In The Mix record shop, on whose iTMix logo it was originally white labelled before being picked up by Mercury for imminent full release as a remix, but sometime rm club chart contributor Mark Summers, resident jock at Sudbury in Suffolk’s newly refurbished Broadway Nightlife, has meanwhile unwittingly slightly confused the issue by recording in his home studio a rival track called ‘Melt Your Body‘ which some people have mistaken as the ‘Meltdown’ remix, although he explains “I adapted part of Raze’s ‘Break 4 Love’, the bass line from a track by Chelmsford indie band Nitzer Ebb and the ‘Rock Your Body’ hook from a Nebular track” . . . Les Adams and DJ Shem (Streets Ahead) have each neatly megamixed two sides of a double album of Champion released material due soon on K-tel, ‘The Champion Legend — “Can You Feel It?”‘ . . . KYZE comes out more logically pronounced as “kay-wize” when it’s written as K-Y-ZE, the way it’s printed now on Cooltempo’s UK promo pressing of ‘Stomp (Move Jump Jack Your Body)’, only here in its Steeltoe and Zanzibar Mixes . . . Ian Dewhirst, remembered for his flamboyant leopard skin shirts as a DJ turned record company man, is rather more sedately employed these days as a senior discographer specialising in dance music (along with, by coincidence, one time rm chart returning DJ from Loughton, Andy Gregory) at the National Discography/MCPS, where every recording ever released is being painstakingly catalogued . . . Domenico Modugno’s much recorded classic ‘Volare’ has been revived in typical ‘flamenco wave’ style by the Gipsy Kings, with a dance mix due on 12 inch, as first single from their imminent new album (which lacks the joyous spontaneity of their last set on side one but luckily has quite a jolly side two, including a lovely bossa nova-ish instrumental and rousing live finale) . . . Nouveau ‘adieu!’, the cryptic promo reviewed last week, turned out to be a cunning scam and was in fact an otherwise unavailable specially sparse Pascal Gabriel mix of the London, rather than French Barclay, recorded Jimmy Somerville featuring June Miles Kingston ‘Comment Te Dire Adieu’! . . . Kaoma presumably sing ‘Lambada’ in Portuguese, if (as Alan Jones revealed) the dance began in Brazil . . . Paul ‘DJ Paolo’ Hitchcock has booked Vanilla Sound Corps to make a personal appearance this Thursday (November 2) at Hull’s Wellington Club, and is looking on 0482-440745 for other suitable dance music acts to PA there in the coming months . . . Claire Livingstone is expanding the club DJ mailing list at Stylus Music associated Pyramid Promotions, 31 Norfolk Place, London W2 1QH, and urgently wants to hear on 01-258 0035 from jocks everywhere but especially in the Midlands, to help promote the label’s ‘The Right Stuff‘ double album dance compilation and Imagination’s imminently reissued ‘Just An Illusion’ . . . Jazzy M is guest jock at Notting Hill’s Sub Club under the Westway off Portobello Road this Thursday (2), when DJ Streets Ahead and ‘Tainted Love’ reviving Impedance join Jon Williams at the weekly ‘Dilly Daily’ in Mayfair’s Wall Street . . . Brixton’s Academy houses spectacular huge constructions and illusions this Saturday (4) when SumoSurf X present ‘Outlands’, jocking amidst the happenings and stunts being Dave Picciuni, Noel Watson, Fabio & Groove Rider, Jumping Jack Frost, Pete Stuart and Brian G . . . Andy Henderson plus Rob & Trish are “Brighton’s No. One Soul Trio” for The Monday Night Soul Connection every week at Champagnes Night Club in Montpelier Road . . . Soho’s Jacqueline’s is probably what’s hiding at 201 Wardour Street, the carefully concealed Wednesday venue for pretentious sounding Underwater, where “top session musicians perform with top underground DJs specialising in the evolution of European and American house music” (it says here, without then naming names) . . . Dave Thomas in contrast is hopefully “overwater”, presenting as he does Upfront On Ice Fridays at Cardiff’s Wales National Ice Rink, for which he wants PAs and mailing list support on 0446-721013 . . . Andrew ‘Madhatter’ Holmes spins hip hop ‘n’ house around Manchester on Explosion Thursdays at Middleton’s Hippo’s, and with DJ Space Case on Head Fridays at Oldham Road’s Thunderdome, the duo somehow also fitting in M.VITA (Manchester Vibes In The Area) Thursdays and Saturdays at Burton Road’s Midland pub . . . Rumour Records’ November 6 released ‘Warehouse Raves 2‘ compilation album seems to be following rather closely on the heels of the first one, and possibly as a consequence has nothing like so strong a track listing, mainly relying (with the notable exception of Gil Scott-Heron ‘The Bottle’) on either new UK releases that are still proving themselves or lesser recent imports . . . East and South London DJing legend ‘Segue’ Steve Goddard convincingly contradicts Fast Eddie’s claim by pointing out that the term “hip house” was first used on the label of Screaming Rachel ‘Fun With Bad Boys‘ (US Grand Groove Records), a Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk creation from way back in 1987 — however, was that a house rap in the way that we understand hip house to mean? . . . Soho’s Trax record shop proprietor ‘Tricky Dicky’ Scanes clarifies that the credit lacking ‘Grand Beat’ remix of ‘Grand Piano’ is indeed Italian rather than British in origin, despite its label copy, as various Italian record companies now print “UK” on their seemingly bootleg style labels (often with a fictitious UK address as well) because Italian and other European jocks snobbishly only ever play British originated product! . . . IT’S SUCH A GOOD VIBRATION!

HOT VINYL

SHARON DEE CLARKE ‘Keeping My Faith In Love’ (Rumour Records RUMAT 6, via Pacific)
With vocals arranged by Mykaell Riley of the Reggae Philharmonic Orchestra, who did the same for Soul II Soul, the soulfully singing actress’s sultry lush jogger could end up having similar success when it’s out fully next week, in Richie Rich’s subduedly swingbeat-ish 100½bpm jiggly Club and more nervily cramped Kickin’ It Mixes, flipped by co-producer Damon Rochefort’s more subtly slinky 101⅔bpm Mellow and 101½bpm Love Mixes, all equally good.

DOUG LAZY ‘Let The Rhythm Pump’ (Atlantic A8784T)
Letting it roll again, the infectious jiggly rhythm that is, lazily rapping Doug Finley hangs right in there punctuating away all through his latest jauntily “pumping” and “jumping” 121bpm hip house shuffler, but it’s the beat that raises a sweat, with squidgily wheezing organ and chinking cowbell. The promo has Vocal, Long Instrumental, Chop Dub and Acappella Versions, the commercial pressing I believe loses the second to last.

L.A. MIX ‘On The Side’ (Breakout AMLA 9009)
Although I’ve been warning you since April that Les Adams, Emma Freilich and Mike Stevens’ album would be filled with a surprising variety of styles, people are now remarking to me in surprise about its variety! Created using live “real” instruments as well as samplers, totally fresh tracks are the jaw droppingly superb smoothly loping “jazz-house” piano, flute and vibes instrumental 122¼-0bpm ‘Breathe Deep’, Audrey Francois wailed scurrying wriggly “garage” 124¼bpm ‘You Are The One‘, Juliet Roberts gurgled jiggly “swingbeat” 104⅛bpm ‘Just Waiting’, Chyna emoted spine tingling dead slow “deep soul” (very Dramatics ‘In The Rain’!) (0-)40/80-0bpm ‘Don’t Turn Away‘, and Sweet Pea rapped Lowrell reviving jogging 96⅓bpm ‘Mellow Mellow (Right On)‘, while already familiar although in some cases much remixed are the Kevin Henry chanted “Philly” style 120¼bpm ‘Love Together’, Jazzi P rapped “hip house” 127¼bpm ‘Get Loose’, Vince Montana-ish jazzily tumbling 0-114⅛bpm ‘Don’t Stop (’89)’, and last year’s Top 6 smash 117⅔-0bpm ‘Check This Out’.

MR LEE ‘Get Busy’ (Jive JIVE T 231)
Already massive on import, this extremely simple infectiously bounding hip house flier may not be an innovator but does everything so well and so happily that it’s one of the very best, here 123¾bpm in its Club, Chicago, and Hit Man’s House Mixes. You will not stay still!

LUTHER VANDROSS ‘Never Too Much (Extended Remix ’89 by Justin Strauss)’ (Epic LUTH T12)
Perhaps his all time favourite amongst the soul dance crowd, this sweetly wailed swaying and lurching trotter has been given a more modern tightly tapping but still unsteadily tempoed 109¼-110⅔-110⅓-110⅔-111bpm overlay by Justin, coupled with Michael H. Brauer’s Original Remix ’81 (a pig to bpm, which I’ve had to do thoroughly several times in the past and don’t intend to do again, this tops and tails at around 108⅔…109⅔bpm), plus the originally Change credited superb sinuously rolling (steady though older!) 117¾bpm ‘The Glow Of Love’. If there’s anyone left who still needs them, all his oldies have been repackaged again for Christmas on the LP ‘The Best Of Luther Vandross The Best Of Love’ (EPC 465801), which this obviously is intended to promote.

FAST EDDIE featuring Sundance ‘Git On Up (Fast Eddie Mix)’ (D.J. International Records 655366 6, via CBS)
Still as promoed in some hybrid 124¾bpm remix that doesn’t tally with any on the import pressing, this plaintively rapping Roxanne Shanté-ish girl duetted effective though routine hip house bounder is flipped here by what really is the now also 124¾bpm Rocky Jones Mix plus a thumping 125¼bpm LP Mix that seems to be the import’s Fast Eddie Mix!

GO-NOGO ‘Pacific State (Paradise Remix)’ (Italian bhf Production 8620927-1)
808 State’s current club smash in a strong cool (0-)120¼bpm Italo house remake, totally keyboard created (rather than saxed), with some beefy new licks to boot plus that Sueno Latino-type burbling bird as in the original, flipped by the also 0-120¼-0bpm urgently pounding ‘Astray‘ — that’s ‘Astray’, not ‘Ashtray’! — related only in one of the above mentioned beefy new keyboard licks (which if anything owes something to ‘Do It Properly’ and ‘The Girl Can’t Help It’).

MARK SUMMERS ‘Melt Your Body (Techno Style)’ (smr House SMR 001X, via 0702-335444)
A brightly jiggling and clinking 0-121¼-0bpm electro skipper washed by various female phrases and flipped by the “I ain’t gonna wait no more” quoting jingly jangly but smoothly synthed 119¾-0bpm ‘Your Love Is Mixed (Taggey Mix)‘, both home produced and slightly raw sounding. I’m afraid for once I’ve run out of time to bpm all The Club Chart’s new entries, as I have to head North for my aged and not very fit old dad’s birthday, which can’t wait — full service returns next week!

PATTI DAY ‘Right Before My Eyes’ (D.Trax CH 003)
This old US Stairway recording is currently getting much attention largely through being bootlegged, popular at warehouse-type gigs being the more soulfully striding though trickily fragmented 115¼-115⅔bpm vocal version that, together with a throbbingly rolling (0-)115⅔bpm instrumental, is hidden on a flip misleadingly labelled as containing Ellis “D” ‘My Loleatta’ and Riuchi Sakamoto ‘Riot In Lagos’ (which it doesn’t!), while the correctly labelled A-side’s 115½bpm Vocal and (0-)115¼bpm Power Radio Mixes are in none too special juddery thudding Latin hip hop style.

WILL DOWNING ‘Come Together As One’ (US Island 91286-1)
A pleasant stop gap before the next all new Luther Vandross album, this lush and largely orchestral listening soul set is exciting most initial interest in its “standard”- style slow meandering 0-35-35/70-0bpm treatment of ‘Wishing On A Star’ (very different from the Fresh 4’s version!), but also has the cooing jiggly swaying 0-111½bpm ‘Love Call‘, huskily hopeful cantering (0-)115bpm ‘Come Together As One‘, mournfully rolling 109½bpm ‘Sake Of Love‘, gorgeous acappella harmonies introed weaving 0-97⅞bpm ‘I’ll Wait‘, abruptly snapping 114bpm ‘Rules Of Love‘, throatily smooching 0-84⅔bpm ‘Sometimes I Cry’, Nat ‘King’ Cole-ish 7-59⅓-0bpm ‘Too Soon’, drifting 79½bpm ‘The Love We Share’, crawling 0-20/40-41 bpm ‘Closer To You’, and a 0-104⅔bpm mix of his current UK single:

‘Test Of Time’ (Fourth & Broadway 12BRW 146)
David Morales & Frankie Knuckles remixed go go beats driven starkly jittering though romantically croaked jiggly syncopated swingbeat style swayer, in here 0-104½bpm Club and Radio, 104½bpm Timeless Piano Instrumental and Dub Versions.

MAURIZIO PAVESI ‘Love System’ (A1 Records 12A1 314, via BMG)
Still on white label so it’s impossible to tell what the different mixes are called, this by now fairly routine though effective “it’s too late, baby, for your love”/”don’t want to” girls chanted cantering nervy Italo house is 121⅝bpm on the A-side with two differently treated more urgent 119⅔bpm and 121⅓bpm B-side mixes, out here even ahead of Italy.

BROOKLYN FUNK ESSENTIALS ‘We Got To Come Together’ (XL Recordings XXL-003, via CityBeat)
Something of a “sleeper” on import a while back, this Arthur Baker-produced jerkily stuttered, chanted and rumbled funky drums thrasher, with whistle blasts and weaving samples, is in 0-123¼-123bpm Vocal Version, 122¾-122⅔bpm Wham Bam Dub, 122¾-123¼bpm Track Attack Rough Mix, (0-)122¾bpm Drum A Dub Dub, and 122¾-123 bpm Cum Together Again variations, and is the first of the label’s good value 12-inch twin-packs (when the catalogue number is XLT 3) along with the also separately available

ELLIS “D” ‘Took My Love Away’ (XL Recordings XXL-004)
Junior Vasquez’s stuttery Loleatta Holloway sampling current LP track in its Todd Terry-ishly synthed 0-119-0bpm Album Version, rambling new bassily lurching 118¾-0bpm Serious and 0-118¾-118⅝-0bpm Factory Mixes, plus the Holloway oldies quoting instrumental bounding 120½-0bpm ‘My Loleatta (Whatta Bitch Mix)‘ tribute.

MISTER B ‘Let’s Get Horny’ (Rumour Records RUMAT 7, via Pacific)
A lively strong 124½-124⅞bpm South London remake of High Voltage’s old percussively cantering instrumental — which was an early example of a “quoter” if not an actual “sampler”, being built up from, obviously now vintage, disco breaks — leaping along largely to a T-Connection groove and flipped by a janglier 124⅝-125bpm Big T’s Mix.

SAM DEES ‘After All’ (RCA PT 43140)
Widely and rightly regarded since the early Seventies as a living soul legend, Sam seems to do more writing/producing (for the likes of Gladys Knight) than solo singing but rectifies that with this exquisite searingly expressive gentle tenderly weaving 97½-97⅓bpm smoochy swayer, coupled (97⅓bpm Edited Version too) by the more ponderously crawling 29-58-0bpm ‘True Believer In Love‘ and — surely some mistake? — a snappily jolting instrumental 115¾bpm ‘Always Something’.

CHUCK JACKSON ‘Relight My Fire’ (Motorcity MOTC 26, via Pacific)
Dan Hartman’s ‘Vertigo/Relight My Fire’ vigorously revived in an exciting throatily wailing, surging and charging (0-)123¾-0bpm remake by Ian Levine, flipped by an occasionally girls cooed 118¼-0bpm instrumental of Chuck’s previous Philly-styled ‘All Over The World’. This is just one in a massive series of Levine produced releases by ex-Motown artistes, many of whom will be touring.

PERRI ‘Feel So Good (Extended Version)’ (Motown ZT 43084)
One of the Anita Baker backing (and not dissimilar) gospel reared sisters’ two songs from the ‘Do The Right Thing’ soundtrack, a plummily sultry 94¾-94½-96-0bpm tranquil soulful swayer, also included in its US 12-inched now less good seeming 94⅔-94¾bpm Single Version and 94⅔-94¾bpm Instrumental.

The Lil’ DJ ANTHONY ACID ‘Rock And Boogie Down’ (US Breaking Bones Records BBR-500)
Created by Anthony Caputo but generally mixed by Frankie “Bones”, Lenny “Dee”, Tommy Musto and the other Bonebreakers, this samples studded (no, surely not?!) repeated “oh yeah” groaned lurchingly shuffling 120bpm instrumental house five-tracker is not particularly acidic at all, in Anthony Goes Acid Mix, Frankie’s Seduction Groove, Jammix Summer Revenge, Lenny Does London Mix, and Electric Warehouse Mix versions.

NEXUS 21 ‘(Still) Life Keeps Moving’ (Blue Chip Recording BLUE C34T, via The Cartel)
Painfully pitched girl warbled Inner City-style very derivative and clichéd light “techno” bounder in 127bpm Club, 126¾bpm Instrumental and Instru”MENTAL” Dub Mixes.

THE GAP BAND ‘All Of My Love’ (US Capitol V-15493)
Wilson Bros & Jon Gass produced pleasant enough jauntily jiggling soulful swingbeat, disrupted by Greg ‘Ski’ Royal’s stuttery abrupt edits in the 106½bpm Extended Mix but not the gentler 106½bpm Just Coolin’ and 108bpm Radio Mixes (106½bpm Instrumental, 107½bpm Bonus Beats and 105½bpm Percussappela too).

THE D.O.C. ‘The D.O.C. & The Doctor’ (US Ruthless Records/Atlantic 0.96523)
From the US black chart topping album, ‘No One Can Do It Better’ (now out here, 791 308-1), the NWA associated rapper aggressively rants through a Public Enemy-ish slow dense grinder in 81bpm Noisy Mix, Somethingtabumpinyacar (ie: dub!), and (0-)81⅝bpm LP Versions, but most initial reaction has been for the frantically fast talking hip house-ish 122⅓bpm ‘Portrait Of A Master Piece (LP Version)‘.

TOT ‘What U R’ (DFM DFM-006)
Sounding like a dated leftover from last year, this vocodered thin fast froth is in its girls whispered twittery 131⅓-0bpm Original Mix, twittered and urgently scuffled 128-0bpm Rhythm Mix, Mark Kamins’ throbbed and chinked 0-128-0bpm NYC Dub, plus Mike Pickering & Graeme Park’s drily thudding acidic instrumental (0-)129-0bpm Nude Mix.

LEE LEWIS ‘Atmosphere’ (Italian B.C.R. BCR 89001)
Arranged by Italy’s champion mixing jock Cutmaster G, this resonantly thrumming and tinkling useful 122⅝-0-110-122⅝-0bpm alternative adaptation of ‘French Kiss’ is actually coupled by a yet another belated cover version of just that, using the same bpm backing track.

SENSI ‘Rap Race’ (Tam Tam Records TTT 011)
British female MC rapping in the usual aggressively plaintive shrill style to frantically bumping and scratching 120bpm beats (Instrumental too), the rare groove samples woven backing of the AA-side’s 115¾bpm ‘I Am What I Am‘ being rather better, with useful Bonus Beats.

REMIXES

808 STATE ‘Pacific State (The Remixes)’ (ZTT ZANG 1T, via WEA), white labelled on a 33⅓rpm four-tracker with no further details at the moment, although there’s a possibility that when out fully next week (as a single for the first time instead of “mini album”, so sure to smash) there will be some new ‘707’ element in its title, this A Guy Called Gerald featuring hauntingly saxed and Sueno Latino-like twittering Nightjar (or whatever that pesky bird is!) burbled superb jazzy deep house instrumental now leaps along in a lively (0-)128⅓-0bpm more electronic treatment, followed by what I take to be its original (0-)124⅓-0bpm more tinkly mix, flipped by an also faster (0-)127¾-127⅓-0bpm more wriggly remix (with exotic female chanting), plus some brief thumping (0-)120bpm bonus beats;

RHYTHIM IS RHYTHIM ‘Strings Of Life ’89 (Juan’s Magic Mix)’ (Kool Kat/Big Life RHYTHIM 1), the most enduring theme tune of the whole “acid house” era, still going strong (and down a storm), this jerkily bounding frisky instrumental, now it’s been remixed, keeps to a steady 127½bpm tempo for the first time ever, with flute and vibes effects at times, flipped by its old more fragmented 122-121¾-121⅔-121⅓-121bpm Piano Mix (here called Original Version) plus the even older hollow “drain” twittered 123⅓-123¼bpm ‘Nude Photo’ (also a classic in its day);

FRESH 4 (Children Of The Ghetto) featuring LIZZ E. ‘Wishing On A Star (“Dancin” Danny D Remix)‘ (10 Records TENR 287), switching most of the sales from the original now, Danny Poku’s still hauntingly dissonant chunkily rumbling 92½-92⅓bpm remix replaces the funky drummer, while the flip’s 92½-92⅓bpm dub is called No JB Beats and has the same dry drum as the earlier also included 92½bpm Smoke Filled Thoughts instrumental;

KARIYA ‘Let Me Love You For Tonight (Nastie Mastie Mix)‘ (Sleeping Bag Records SBUKR 4), refusing to die, the ‘Tubular Bells’-ishly started girl wailed garage classic is now (on 33⅓rpm white label at any rate) in this boomingly throbbing and chugging 111⅜bpm remix flipped by an instrumentally lurching 111½bpm Up All Night Dub;

KAOS ‘Definition Of Love (Def-Ignition Of Love)‘ (Kool Kat/Big Life KAOS 3), apparently sung by producer Kevin Saunderson’s West Midlands wife, this enduring 123bpm house galloper (a big influence in its original version on The Mix Master’s ‘Grand Piano’) has been remixed by Dave Dorrell & CJ Mackintosh with urgently throbbing electronic percussion and chuggingly building excitement, flipped less intensely by a piano jangled Extended Vocal Mix and Mick Talbot of Style Council keyboarded Mick’s Mix;

THE REBEL MC & DOUBLE TROUBLE ‘Street Tuff (Remixes)’ (Desire WANTX 18R), the huge sk’ouse smash given a more hip house-style rapping (0-)117¼-117⅜bpm Ruff Mix and similarly scrubbing 117⅜bpm Time To Rock — The Trouble Dub, flipped by the more jauntily skanking 118½bpm Norman Cook Mix and Instrumental, underpinned by the clanking cowbell from Booker T & The MGs’ ‘Soul Limbo’.
