WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
THE CRUSADERS: ‘Mega Street’ (MCA MCAT 853)
Alan Coulthard neatly blends a marathon medley of the classic Randy Crawford-sung ‘Street Life’ (102-106-108)/Wilton Felder ‘Insight’ (108-109-110)/Joe Sample ‘Burnin’ Up The Carnival’ (109)/’Street Life’ (111-112)/JS ‘There Are Many Stops Along The Way’ (113)/WF ‘Inherit The Wind’ (115)/’Dead End’ (115)/’Street Life’ (115-115½bpm), which rightly takes A-side precedence over the new ghastly chix squawked lurching almost Hi-NRG 126bpm ‘Night Ladies‘ — these same chix also singing their alternative import 12in ‘New Moves‘ (US MCA MCA-13991), which is like a speeded-up 122bpm early Jackson 5 record (dub/edit flip). Their imminent LP on this showing could be a disappointment.
