Wop Bop - Something Special 1991

Ten Records TENX 375 DJ

Wop Bop Torledo are Maryanne Morgan and Gary Stoner. Morgan provides Keyboards & Vocals while Stoner plays Bass, Guitar & Drum Programming, Both write, produce and arrange. Other musicians involved on their album include Michael Ruff (Keyboards), Jess Bailey (Keyboards), Gary Barnacle (Saxophone), Chris "Snake" Davies (Saxophone), Ron Asprey (Saxophone), John Thirkell (Trumpet), Louis Jardim (Percussion) and Mick Talbot (Style Council) plays Piano on Kissaway. The self titled album, Wop Bop Torledo, produced and engineered by Curtis Schwartz, was released in 1990 on Atlantic Records as was the original Kissaway 12" and previous releases. Something Special is released under Wop Bop. Still Something Special is included on the album and Kissaway is included on this 12". I suspect the 12" A - part of the remix title refers to the original Kissaway 12" placing. You can see from this here White Label Promo, that my information is zero?

Something Special is remixed by Carl McIntosh of Loose Ends fame and his Bubbler Extended Version is easily the better mix. The Kissaway (Soulamuffin Mix) was crafted by Femi Fem of the Young Disciples and is definitely the track that makes this release worth having. The Accapella Mix of Something Special may come in handy for the mixes though. Enjoy Nitro. ;-)

Dream Warriors - My Definition... (YD Remixes) 1990

4th & Broadway 12 BRX 197

Watching the Dream Warriors taking the Pop world by storm with their 'Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style', the JazzWorld decided that their own definition would be a little different. The UK was on the verge of a Acid Jazz explosion. Everybody in Hip-Hop was 'getting Jazz' from Stetsasonic to Gang Starr and even Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. On the UK Soul Scene the name on everybody's lips was The Young Disciples. 'Femi Fem' Williams and
'Marco' Nelson would make the world a better place by recording an album featuring the voice of Carleen Anderson, thus launching her on to a solo career that would produce 'True Spirit'. Thanks guys, a worthy legacy.

Marco & Femi were called in to remix the 'Boombastic Jazz' of the Dream Warriors and yet another 'defining moment' set the new decade on track. Here then, are the Young Disciples Mixes of My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style. The Next Definition is different, very different, Cool with a capital C!
