Speaking of Esther, If any one sees her cover of home is where the hatred is , I want it... That reminds me, I was at the Sink's re-opening birthday last Sunday, and whilst having a flick through 7s I couldn't afford and would never see again, I noticed the man selling them had a portable record player. It was about 10 long by 4 wide, and was apparently made by technics until about 1989. It looked something like a vinyl walkman... Anyone ever seen one? -s From: Nick Hardie [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: seth redmond [EMAIL PROTECTED], 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: [313] RE: (313) speaking of sylvester...

Wasn't Ian Levine a big time DJ back in the Northern Soul days? I believe his second career was the invention of HI-NRG? Yeah, he started off at the Blackpool Mecca where he had a reputation for unearthing records no one had heard of, but then lost the plot getting involved with Heaven in London and Take That.

(was Re: [313] song id) ...i wonder if anyone could comment or shed some light on an old 12 that i found the other day. i sometimes make a habit of trolling the used soul and rock vinyl bins in out the way record stores - you'd be amazed what you can find sometimes. in this case i was in the rasputin's in beautiful downtown pleasant hill, california. along with some $1 morris day and the time twelves (ahem), i found an old sylvester record. its a double a side 12 on megatone records, apparently based in the castro in san francisco. its dated 1985. one side is take me to heaven, the other side is called sex. now, its definitely inna '80s eurodisco stylee - cheap unsequenced drum machine programs and live synth playing. the production is by ken kessie and morey goldstein (?) with remix by ian levine (???). really really long tracks with typical campy sylvester vocals, but tons of great '80s synth basslines and over-the-top linndrum drumrolls to sample. the funny part is that take me to heaven is ludicrously fast for a disco record. i played it with house and it came in at -8, so i'm guessing its close to 140bpm (but with sylvester being the way he is, at -8 he sounds just fine). anyway, anyone know what the deal with this record is? who are these people? who the heck is megatone records? i've seen one other record on megatone and it was a patrick cowley production, something i-f would drop. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ATTENTION: The information in this electronic mail message is private and confidential, and only intended for the addressee.
