WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
Alan Coulthard’s current DMC megamix is of George Benson, but more importantly he’s also megamixed together three tracks from Wham’s album for commercial 12in release as their next single, probably called ‘Club Fantastic’.
Wham are disclaiming all responsibility for their new ‘Club Fantastic Megamix‘ in an on-going argument with their record company Inner Vision, but have not unnaturally got its innocent mixer Alan Coulthard upset by telling their fans not to buy it (he needs the money!)
WHAM!: The Club Fantastic Megamix’ (Inner Vision TA 3586)
Commissioned by the label to blend together three basically incompatible tracks (‘A Ray Of Sunshine/Love Machine/Come On’), Alan Coulthard used the original tapes to create a galloping 131-140-132bpm 12in pop medley that’s as good as the material will allow but obviously no mind-blower.
