The 14th week of the non-rock 12″ singles played alphabetically series covers the letters R & S. Only one identified re-edit (The Revenge edit Hot Chocolate ‘Heaven Is In The Backseat Of My Cadillac’, Brixton 1976) but a lot of interesting new music [Red Axes, Optic, Rework, Riccio, Roberto, Sonny Rock, Rondenion, Saine], a collaboration by the Italo obscurities guru Flemming Dalum on the Red Laser label, a well-known artist under one of his other names (Psi Performer = Anthony Rother), the iconic Sade remixed by DJ Spinna, obscure US soul-disco band Revelation have a track from 1982, and Walter Gibbons mixes the classic-amazing disco of Salsoul Orchestra.

The 12th week of the non-rock 12″ singles played alphabetically series covers the letters N, O & P. Today I notice the wide berth this series is parking in, covering dance [Joey Negro Vs. Horse Meat Disco, Henri-Pierre Noël], international [Ogoya Nengo And The Dodo Women’s Group], hip hop [N8NOFACE], Japanese [9dw], experimental/electronic [Nisennenmondai, Om Unit], Polish [Noon]. Dark ambient [O Yuki Conjugate], balearic [Pacific Horizons] and that is only talking about the first hour. As usual, there are many re-edits. These are the ones I can identify the source material of: The Patchouli Brothers edits MFSB ‘Plenty Good Lovin’ 1976 from Philadelphia, Parlour edits Sådd ‘Johnny Gitarr’ 1979 from Sweden. Not a re-edit, but maybe my fave track of the show is The Parallax Corporation (a duo that includes Intergalactic Gary) ‘Anti Social Tendencies’.

Cover star Montparnasse (Masanori Ikeda, who we heard in the I portion) brings 1999 J-pop to this series, while Monkey Timers bring 2016 vintage J-pop in. There are many re-edits, some of which I can indentify: Members Only edit Rinder & Lewis (El Coco, Saint Tropez, Le Pamplemousse) ‘Anger’ from 1977 Los Angeles, Mind Fair edits Way Of The West ‘Feel The Steel’ from 1984, Miss Kittin & The Hacker cover The Eurythmics, Parlour edit Sådd ‘Johnny Gitarr’ from 1979 Sweden, Nastyboy edits Al Green ‘Still In Love With You’.

Andi Hanley edits Annette’s 1988 track ‘Dream 17’. Chicago’s Ron Hardy does two edits for his edits series: Willie Hutch’s 1982 and Baby Huey’s 1971 tracks.
