SINNAMON - I NEED YOU NOW (MOPLEN EDIT)

***********************************************

No doubt, “I Need You Now” by Sinnamon is one of the most sampled recordings ever. 
During the past three decades, this R & B/Soul/Dance/Funk/Electronic track has become a classic club anthem. 
Now, thanks to a skillfully edited version of the original recording dubbed “I Need You Now (Moplen Edit)” by Luca Locatelli, Stevette Music is pleased to be a part of the 30th Anniversary re-mastered release of this timeless masterpiece. 
Included on this release is a bonus of the song’s very basic tracks from a cassette tape that has also endured and survived over this period of time. It represents a point in time, in fact 1979, when five very young men, barely in their twenties, went into a studio totally unrehearsed, and “nailed” those tracks in one take. 
Later, on overdubbed tracks, Andre Booth who wrote “This Beat Is Mine” by Vickie D, would become one of the first keyboard players to utilize a synthesizer on a dance record. 
On subsequent overdubs, R. Bernard Fowler, would lend his powerful voice to the song as lead & background vocalist. 
LaForrest Cope, who wrote Whitney Houston’s “You give Good Love”, and Jacqueline Sampson would also contribute their soulful vocals as background singers.
I am confident that all will enjoy this latest rendition, true to the original version.

                                                                Stephen Cumberbatch,

***********************************************

Everything started a few months ago when Stephen Cumberbatch (the writer of "I Need You Now") left his comment on my edit:

"I wrote, recorded, and produced this song back in 1979, with R. BERNARD FOWLER as lead vocalist. Way before the Peech Boys. 
This song is where they got "Don't Make Me Wait" from, the opening line to " I Need You Now". 
Moplen, I wish you had been around to mix this back "in the day".
You did a great job!!!! 
We only need to pressure a record company to re-release your mix.
This is hot!!!!

Thanks,
Stephen Cumberbatch"

Surround Sounds have been quietly building a rep with several strong selling releases from The Revenge, Hot Toddy and Joey Negro. Next up is "Break My Heart" featuring the vocals of Seattle based Neo soul star Choklate.

The chunky mid tempo backing track to "Break My Heart" cheekily recreates the squelchy keyboard riff from the Wham classic "Everything She Wants", which obviously gives some instant familiarity but "Break My Heart" adds a completely new song featuring Choklate's delightful vocal harmonies. The release comes backed with a hot remix from Berlin based Session Victim adding pure underground house vibes...

Following on from the likes of “Backstreet Brit Funk”, “Destination Boogie” and the ever-popular Soul of Disco series Z Records continue to release hi quality compilations filled with lesser known disco, funk and boogie.

Now ZR launches a new compilation series named Under The Influence. The story behind UTI is this, being a seasoned record collector Z label boss Dave Lee (Joey Negro) has made the acquaintance of many of the worlds other vinyl junkies. People that may be unknown to the general public but are hardcore enthusiasts who have built some of the best collections of soul, funk and disco on the planet. The idea of UTI isn't about big name djs but is to give a musical platform to those who have the knowledge to put together a track listing of killer tunes. Volume 1 has been compiled by DJ Red Greg aka Darren Griffiths, a familiar face across the world at record fairs and second hand vinyl stores...as well as a dj putting on his own Ebonite nights in Dalston (and playing in parties in the UK as well as Paris and NYC) .

For the record, we at Z aren't interested in re-issuing collectors obscurities, average records that are best left as rare vinyl only pieces, we only want re-vitalise great music that has stood the test of time. When Darren sent us in the CDs of his proposed track listing we were blown away by the high standard of his selection. Unlike many re-issue comps we doubt there will be anyone who picks up this CD and looks through the track list and has the all the songs contained. This selection is the result of years of digging, buying records on a hunch, acquiring a few turkeys to find the gems. Check his sleeve notes out for some detailed analysis and history.

As always with Z Records, we've spent time and money to make the masters sound as good as possible so if you're a fan of compilations from BBE or Dimitri From Paris and our own Soul of Disco CD’s then this new series will not disappoint.


Under The Influence Vol.1 compiled by DJ Red Greg - Sampler

What a Disco Funk Electro corker from 1981!
Can't get enough of this song, such good vibes.
The B-Side is pretty happening too; its an instrumental by the legendary Tee Scott.
Mighty Mouse has done a nice edit of this A-Side too. If I can get some more minutes I'll upload it...or you could get off your arse and look on his SoundCloud page yourself.
Lazy!
