Diana Brown & Barrie K. Sharpe - The Masterplan

Here's a vinyl I'd been meaning to rip for ages. I bought this on a Hot Tracks vinyl in a record fair in Oxford way back when as I loved this song and also Deee-Lite's 'What Is Love' which was on the same 12". It was a minor hit (#39) in the UK in mid-1990. I don't know which of the mixes the Hot Tracks mix is based on (it describes itself as 'The Master Mix by Glen Cattanach') but I've never come across a similar mix anywhere else. I didn't realise until investigating it today that the track was written and produced by one-time Dead Or Alive cohorts Tim Lever & Mike Percy. What a coincidence!

The MASTERPLAN

Pointer Sisters - So Excited

Oh no, not again! Just for the sake of completeness, and then I promise NO MORE! (probably). I don't have much more to say about this than I've already written in the post about Baby Sister, so how about we just get on with it? Oh a couple of things: Heart Beat was cowritten by one Michael Bolotin before he anglicized up his surname and became the big-haired nightmare that was Michael Bolton, but don't let that put you off, it's a decent song. Unlike American Music, which continues the tradition of the previous Black And White album of having a virtually unlistenable final track...

1. I'm So Excited
2. See How The Love Goes
3. All Of You
4. Heart Beat
5. If You Wanna Get Back Your Lady
6. I Feel For You
7. Heart To Heart
8. American Music

bonus tracks:
9. Nothing But A Heartache (b-side, original 1982 issue of I'm So Excited)
10. I'm So Excited (12" version)
11. If You Wanna Get Back Your Lady (12" version)

Let's get EXCITED!

Pamela Fernandez - Kickin' In The Beat

Here's something completely different. Someone asked me for this on a forum and it was so good to hear it again I thought I'd share it with you... Well we're getting dangerously contemporary here - this track originally came out in 1992...

Normal disco service will be resumed shortly!
