Fred­die James — Dance To The Beat (320k)

This boo­gie cut makes me dance like Fred­die sug­gests. The mes­sage all in all is so true here. Fred­die, how did you know how to write the lyrics just for me? And I need one of those kinda jumpsuits.

Pebbles — Love/Hate (1987)

Love/Hate is from Bev­erly Hills Cop II sound­track, pro­duced by Andre Cymone. I’ve just recently “grown” to love 80s new jack swing and R&B and this track is prob­a­bly one of my favorites. Mech­a­nized R&B.

Peb­bles is also known as the for­mer man­ager of 90s R&B super­group TLC. Nowa­days she has aban­doned enter­tain­ment indus­try as she became a born again Chris­t­ian in 1997 and is now known as Sis­ter Perri. Gotta look for the 12″ even though in this case the sound is slightly more bland com­pared to the album version.

Robert Owens – I’ll Be Your Friend (Glamourous Mix) (1991)

Robert Owens — I’ll Be Your Friend (Glam­ourous Mix) (320k 8:53min 20,35MB)

It was a good day — yes­ter­day I’m talk­ing about. Some nice stuff from local flea mar­ket for dirty cheap. This one by Robert Owens hap­pened to hit me hard. The orig­i­nal ver­sion was a crossover hit in 1991. This remix was put together by David Morales. Some­what a leg­end also…

The jacket pic­tured above I bought from another flea mar­ket at the very same day. Woo-ha!

Foxy – Get Off (1978)

Foxy — Get Off (320k)

Disco heat with “ua ua ua” vocal ad-libs in the spirit of Let’s All Chant. This is the album ver­sion of Get Off.

And while on the disco tip, do read this: The Lost Art of DJ RE-MIXING. Pretty nice piece of fic­tion with educa­tive motives. Though one could argue against some viewpoints.

Jermaine Stewart – Is It Really Love (1988)

Jer­maine Stew­art — Is It Really Love? (320k)

Say It Again” LP has three top notch tracks of which two are pro­duced by Andre Cymoné. This is one of them and it’s the album ver­sion (B1). Very pop-oriented sound which ain’t bad a thing when the groove is tight. Gots to pick up urgently the 12″ ver­sion of this and also those two oth­ers which are embed­ded here as videos. As of if they’ve been released. I didn’t do my home­work on these yet.

…was think­ing about post­ing also “Don’t Have Sex With Your Ex” but didn’t have the time for some tiny re-mastering/whatever work needed since the track is last song of the b-side (equals degraded qual­ity of sound). Prob­a­bly will do that later.
