I had been torturing myself for months and I couldn't take it anymore. I nearly poisoned my mind with that other cartridge I was using. Gladly, it is now poisoning someone else's mind in Audiogon land. All of my rips had been so dull sounding lately so I replaced that cart with a new shiny gold one with a boron cantilever.
This smooth as silk Billy Ocean track was produced by Nigel Martinez, a Brit from Leicester in 1981. Nigel holds the distintion of being the only Brit to ever produce a Motown track. Our own Kelley B Lived in his hometown for a year. The other track, from 1980 by J.R. Funk and The Love Machine is the instrumental B side of an annoying track full of James Brown vocal bits.
Billy Ocean - Night, Feel Like Getting Down
J.R. Funk and The Love Machine - Feel Good, Party Time
This song by Billy Ocean, "Nights, FLGD...", is (with "Everlasting Love") my favorite track from that LP. It's pure Nigel Martinez ("Behind my back/Doin' it" by Underground on Sam Records). Thanks for your posts.
ReplyDeleteYES! Billy Ocean's best work ever. I have to admit, I love it when people ask about this tune, and the look on their face when i tell them who it is. One of my favorite tunes to drop in. thanks for caring!
