Boney M. – Rasputin / Painter Man (German 12″)

German’s Boney M. getting a September ’78 release on Hansa Records.

“Rasputin” takes most of the track, “Nightflight To Venus” and blends this rock intro (based on “Dance With The Devil” by Cozy Powell.) into the “Rasputin” we know. Written and produced by Frank Farian (who would later go on to produce “fake” duo Milli Vanilli. 

I personally used to love “Painter Man”, rocky guitar and some weird lyrics but what was a Painter Man ? Written by Eddie Phillips and Kenneth George Pickett (English guitarist and vocalist with The Creation who did the original from 1966)

Grace Jones – That’s The Trouble / Sorry (Netherlands 12″)

From 1977 and when Grace Jones was doing full-on Disco.

Arranged by Duke Williams who extends out both tracks with lush strings and every Disco sound you’d expect to hear. It was written with French keyboardist Pierre Papadiamandis who gives it some Galic flair on the A-side.

James Brown – Hustle (Dead On It) (Netherlands 7″)

Funk from 1975 from James Brown. I’m as guilty as many of only knowing a handful of tracks by the Godfather. He wasn’t the greatest of lyricists! Produced by Charles Bobbit and co-written by Fred Wesley who gives it a slight jazz groove especially in Part 2, which is the choice cut having Brown waffling on and on until the bass kicks in. Long as well at nearly 6 minutes for a 7″.

Quite similar to “”Hot Koki” by Talla Andre Marie from Cameroon it’s almost of cover version. (but unrecognised) Still bloody good!

Janis Ian – Fly Too High (12″)

More Disco (from ’79) with Harold Faltermeyer and Giorgio Moroder involved. Using the pwerful lungs of New York’s Janis Ian.

Funky and with some muted trumpet and Clarence Clemons on saxophone. From movie “Foxes” that starred Jodie Foster.

Rod Stewart – Da Ya Think I’m Sexy? (Special Disco Mix) (US 12″)

Not expecting many twelve inch mixes but here is one! Stewart’s evergreen classic from 1978.

Remixed by legendary NYC DJ Jim Burgess, who adds some extra Disco glitter to Rod’s “novelty” hit.

“Scarred And Scared” features harmonica, acoustic and slide guitar and gentle piano. A rock ballad that he is so good at.

Theme For Next Week – The Seventies

Well the late 70’s anyway.

I know? Not an area I’m that familiar with. I remember getting quite excited hearing “Crazy Horses” by The Osmonds with that weird synth sound. Toddling about to “Blockbuster” by Sweet and really enjoying my Mum’s Abba LP, “Arrival” with the group in the helicopter on the cover.

For some reason my parents had a copy of Camel’s “Snow Goose” and I like many others I coveted a copy of Jeff Wayne’s “War Of The Worlds” with the book included with the double LP.

Prefab Sprout – Faron Young (Truckin’ Mix) (12″)

Sprouts for dessert ?

It seems I have more of my own Prefab Sprout stuff that isn’t on here!

CRIMINAL!

So this I still play if I get a chance to DJ. It trucks on, it has lots of Dolby-ism’s and is impossible to dance to.

“Silhouettes” features Wendy on lead vocals, plenty of guitars and is here in a full version of under 4 minutes ???

Prefab Sprout – The Sound Of Crying + Re-ups (CD 1)

From June 1992 and the last of the Sprouts for your Sunday lunch. I’ve re-upped everything else.

Stephen Lipson is in the production chair on this bittersweet Pop song. Those lyrics don’t half sting and remain relevant.

The B-sides include “Atlantis” and the rock n roll of “The Golden Calf” from 1988 (“Langley Park”). Again it annoyingly fades out!

All stuff now re-upped

Prefab Sprout – Looking For Atlantis (Euro CDS)

From 1990 and this has Dolby’s fingerprints all over it. (I’m sure he does some backing vocals)

A driving song improved by an excellent extended version. There is slide guitar, harmonica

Quality B-side is “Michael” about the fallen angel, Lucifer’s expulsion and attempted return. Some weird noises from Dolby on this odd but good song.
