2 = indeed Roc In Kato - Jungle Love, dunno wich mix tho

 

[cjcooper]

for the gypsy woman id, it may be the joey negro mix that was released on the red hot and dance samplers

 

[DoublePromo]

I remember downloading this mix some time ago. The above tracklisting is good many tunes are out of place (and some are in place) so after giving this a pretty thorough listening too here is what I got in what I feel is the correct order - now it's just about filling in the gaps properly.

KYZE - You Wear It Well (Tony Humphries remixes exclusive to a Warner 12" promo)
Roc And Kato - Jungle Love
?
Jovonn - Be Free
Inner City - Hallelujah
Dharma B meets Ace Of Clubs - Everything's Going To The Beat
Nexy Lanton - You Too
Crystal Waters - Makin Happy
?
DSK - What Would We Do
?
?
Mass Order - Take Me Away
Crystal Waters - Makin Happy
?
? - Free Your Mind (sounds a bit like Will Downing)
?
Total Capacity - Celebrate
?
?
? Chris Cuevas - Hip Hop
Anne Robinson - I'm Attracted To You
Photon Inc - Generate Power
?
DJ Professor - We Gotta Do It
BOP - Come On, Move With The Beat
?
?
Dee Dee Brave - I'm Taking You Out
Sue Chaloner - Answer My Prayer
Johanna - Freak It
Sueno Latino - Sueno Latino (the mutha fuckin 1991 remix!!!!)
Susan Clark - Deeper
Adeva - Don't Let It Show On Your Face (this is the original demo mix)
?
Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman (one of the original mixes found on the US test press)
KC Flight - Voices Inside My Head
?
Valerie Johnson - Step Into my Life
?
Georgie Porgie - Let The Music Pump You Up
?
?
Phil Perry - Amazing Love

After listening through again I can't find any probs with the running order (although it's hard to work out what he's doing with the multiple copies of 'Hip Hop').. cheers for the id's, tracklisting is pretty comprehensive now.

One thing... I can't seem to find anything at all about Dee Dee Brave 'I'm Taking You Out' on the net though... is that deffo correct?

 

[Miz]

Good idea....Great site!

9. LNR - Sexual. A slightly different version was released in 1993 (2 yrs. later) with the Reachin EP on HouseJam but cannot track down this exact version. The 93 version is close enough though.

25. Criminal Element Orchestra - What is the Criminal Element (Minimal)

32. Sounds like Chavell Sims on vocals. She has a cut on Jovonn's Raw to the Core EP on Goldtone with very similar lyrics (I'm kicking you out my life"). So my guess is it's Jovonn prior to getting Goldtone Records established.

39. The mix is a Test Press mix only. A similar mix can be found on the Gypsy Woman 8 track CD.

Is this mix posted somewhere? If not can someone post or PM? Much appreciated!

 

[Noel]

Thanks for those Miz, welcome to the board

Track 26 is Cookie Watkins 'I'm Attracted To You' not Ann Robinson. You can hear it on Tom Wainwright @ Hacienda, 12 Sept '91. I think Ann Robinson was an old soul singer who did the track 'You Did It' that Fat Boy Slim sampled (or that bitch from TV!). I'm pretty sure its one of the Tony Humphries mixes - I've got both the Smash 12"s at home so I'll check which one it is.

 

[Noel]

Track 26 is Cookie Watkins 'I'm Attracted To You' not Ann Robinson. You can hear it on Tom Wainwright @ Hacienda, 12 Sept '91.

It's not the same version\or mix. I actually have the exact version from this set on an mp3 which was labled Cookie Watkins - I'm Attracted To You (Final Vocal Mix) but that is defo incorrect although the Final Vocal Mix is similar. DoublePromo listed it as Anne Robinson above so I went with that, although I could barely find any hint of it's existance on the net (One page suggested it as a Zanzibar classic, which is where Tony H played). The mp3 I have is 6 mins long and the nearest Cookie Watkins mix in length is the Original at 6:18, so maybe it's that but I can't find it anywhere to check.

 

[Noel]

Managed to find the Original mix on some Japanese record store's site and it is that.

 

[shedwax]

I've spent the best part of half an hour listening to the Smash 12"s (I've got both) at home and I'm pretty sure its actually the 'Moore Justice Mix'!!!! This is 7:18 long according to the label. The Final Vocal Mix and the Original Mix are both very very similar though. You can just about tell because of the drum rolls (I've played the 12" to the mix and qued it up). Why do all the mixes sound the bloody same!!!

 

[Noel]

Do you know what... I don't think it's any of em lol! It's very similar to the Original but with extra strings type sounds that are on the Moore Justice and Final Vocal mixes... however those mixes have extra parts to the main backing track running all the way through them that aren't on this set. I reckon it may be an unreleased version of Tony H's from when he was making the Final Vocal mix as it's kinda between the two.

 

[shedwax]

Hah ha, yeah I reckon your probably right.....unless he was playing a combination of all three mixes after each other!!! Identifying a mix has never been so bloody difficult

 

[Miz]

Lots of mixes of this great track. I have not listened to this mix as of yet but there are at least two other versions running around. One version is on the B-side of a David Cole remix of "Move Your Body" (which I believe was recorded live) on an Orange label. However I think this was done in '92. Another version is probably a demo played by Tony in early June '91 that sounds very similar (but not exact) to the "Move Your Body" B-Side.

As for the singer, supposedly Anne Robinson did the "Move Your Body" B-Side version. If so their voices are very similar. However, the June '91 version is Cookie Watkins as her scat at the end is exactly as the scat on the E-Smooth mix on Smash.

I hate demo versions! I want them but can never get them!

 

[Noel]

I think it's probably that Demo version on this set then Miz...

Did you get the links to this set I pm'd you?

 

[Miz]

Thanks for the links Noel. Much appreciated. Always excited to hear anything from '91. Just some updates:

3. Hearsay is the Ragga House mix.
4. Jovonn is a demo version of the Vocal Mix.
8 & 15. Makin Happy is the Album version.
14. Mass Order is the original white label bootleg demo. The Classic Bootleg Mix on Columbia is slightly different. Tony played the instrumental/Hump mix then mixed in the vocal.
17. Free Your Mind is the Yesterday's Mix.
26. Is the Cookie Watkins demo. The Anne Robinson version can be heard at Move by MARSH, Jeff on 12" at Juno Records. I like the Cookie Watkins demo version the best....why didn't they release that! lol phones:

Cheers

 

[Noel]

Nice one Miz

Agree with you on theis demo version of Cookie Watkins being the best... phones:

14. Mass Order is the original white label bootleg demo. The Classic Bootleg Mix on Columbia is slightly different. Tony played the instrumental/Hump mix then mixed in the vocal.

Are you saying that the whole 10ish mins being played is this white label bootleg demo (which is made up of the Inst/Hump mix and the Vocal) or that he plays the Inst/Hump mix before the white lable bootleg demo??

 

[Miz]

The bootleg has both the Vocal and the Hump Version (i.e. Instrumental) just like the official release. The Hump is exactly the same on the bootleg and the release versions. FYI, the flip side of the Bootleg has a tune called Victim of Love which on the album is named Your Kind of Music and is shorter.

Also, the Din Daa Daa mix is the Doin' it Dub.

Cheers
