Yeah,I managed to keep most of my albums in good condition.Most of the albums I find on my vinyl digs are usually in mint condition.A few years ago I bought a copy of the Saturday Night Fever album and it's like brand new,as if it was never ever played.I love it when I find a mint condition classic album.

That was close, huh?

You're one of the lucky ones to know him

Her voice is brilliant, but it`s more the material that doesn`t appeal to me.
"Don`t let anyone bring you down" is one of the songs i do like

SoulAlive said:

this was the gem in the whole bunch.
I have copies of the other albums.
Someone obviously just unloaded their "P" collection...
I'll probably go on another dig this weekend.

SoulAlive said:

On the ALBUM, is "I'm Ready" an edited version or is it the 6 minute (12") version?

I have all of Teena's Motown albums on vinyl. Yeah, the CD of "It Must Be Magic" has two live tracks and the 12 Inch version and instrumental of "Square Biz".

The "Wild and Peaceful" CD I was looking for has bonus tracks also.

Oh HELL yeah!

We don't like country, we don't like rock, and we certainly don't like punk
We just wanna get on down with that electrophonic phunk.

I haven't heard that jam since the summer of 1982 and have been looking for it ever since. Hell, I couldn't even find it in the record stores in my area back in 1982 when it was released. You got a rare jam there!



We're so nasty, we love to turn it out
On the down stroke, we never choke
We'll make you scream and shout
I said, we're so nasty, we both are rated X
And when it comes to gettin' freaky girl
Huh, we're the best

Hell yeah! I bought that 12 Inch when it was first released. If you notice, "Nasty Girl" is not sampled in that song. They re-recorded the groove from scratch. Rap artists actually had musical talent back then.

I did a thread on it here on the org a few years ago and I only got one response which was from Cinister Cee. I guess nobody else remembers the song.

I'm asking because I know of a version of "I'm Ready" where the beginning that was used for "Whoomp There It Is" (1993) was edited out.

The edited version you are talking about that starts with the drums rather than the handclaps might be the 45. I've heard that version also.

vainandy said:

Worse than that, I'm afraid.. it is edited down to a mere 3 and a half minutes.

I'll run down every track in order to you SoulAlive:
Side A
1.Razzle Dazzle - This cut is very similar to Ain't No Half Steppin, it's got the same slick groove to it

2.Eyeballin - Classic cut, it stills get alot of airplay on are two old school radio stations here in Philly

3.The Night We Fell - Quiet Storm slow jam here, not excellent but good enough to slow groove to.

4.Raise A Blaze - Rod Temperton funk at it's best, funky groove, great vocals and clever hook on this, they performed this on Soul Train right after Johnny Wilder was in that car accident. The clip was posted on youtube but it along with all the rest of the Soul Train clips have been taken down.

5.First Day Of Snow - Another Slow Jam, not as good as the first

Side B
6.One Night Tan - Ok Dance cut, it's sorta similar to Groove Line but not as good.

7.Therm Warfare - Similar to Razzle Dazzle with great Horn work on it.

8.All Talked Out - Great Mid-Tempo Rod Temperton funk here, both the groove and vocals are suberb on this cut

9.That's The Way We'll Always Say Goodnight - Sorta 60's sounding Slow Jam, it has that classic soul sound to it. It sounds like a cut they would use in a movie love-making scene, LOL!!

10.Disco - This is the only cut Rod didn't write on this album, Johnny Wilder did, but you can hear Rod influence on this track. The track has that danceable Jazz feel to it, it was a good effort by Johnny


All-N-All I would say this is not as good as Too Hot To Handle or Central Heating, but I'd still give it 3 outta 5 stars. It a welcome addition to my music collection. I hope you can find a copy someday, I think you'll like it as much as I do.

vainandy said:

Yeah Vainandy that Shock joint is indeed rare, the only reason why I picked it up is because I also have they're first album which I think is very good. I tried to find more info on those cats and I've come up blank. I know that Marlon Mcclain produced the group but other then that not much, either way both Shock albums I own get alot of play.



My Uncle was in his clubbin days back in the early 80's and even he can't remember that Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde song, I put it on a cd for him and he was like WHO'S THAT?

CinisterCee said:

the album contains the full 6-minute version,thank God

CinisterCee said:

The album contains the full-length 6-minute version

tony23k said:

I'm gonna have to go with you,Tony You seem to be finding some great stuff!

SoulAlive said:

like omg, did you hear that 3.5 minute version I posted?? Disgraceful.

Abdul said:[quote]

SoulAlive said:

Thanks for that review!!!!! The album sounds interesting.I'll find it someday.Not so long ago,I found a vinyl copy of Heatwave's 1982 album 'Current' which isn't half bad.It's unfair that they're only remembered for the first two albums.They continued to make great music after that.

CinisterCee said:

Agreed For me,it has to be the full-length version,or nothing at all!

I'm gonna have to go with you,Tony You seem to be finding some great stuff!


thnx.


since Tower closed,finding vinyl has become harder.
There's a handful of "mom&pop" record shops in my area that get interesting stuff all the time.
You just have to be there at the right moment.

tony23k said:

In my area,we have Rasputin and Streetlight Records.That's where I get my vinyl from.Do you have these stores in your area?

SoulAlive said:

no.but I've heard of "Rasputin"

Amoeba records is about2hours drive.
Another good one that's pretty close is "Mojo sounds".

tony23k said:

Yeah,I heard about Amoeba Records.It's not too far from me but I've never been there.They got a big selection,from what I've heard.

SoulAlive said:

It's Major!
I felt empty leaving some of that stuff behind

definitely go if you get the chance.

Be careful, I racked up quite a balance on my credit card when I went to Amoeba.

CinisterCee said:

here in the Bay Area?

SoulAlive said:

San Francisco



I went there last year to see Madonna.
