Sharon Redd - Second To None (1988)


Sharon Redd is one of those artists that doesn't really need major introductions, since her early steps of her career as backing singer for Bette Midler she always delivered astonishing vocals and some of her tracks from "Can You Handle It?" to "Beat The Street" will take a high position in the history of dance music. This is the last single she recorded, after the "Love How You Feel" album, produced by Eric Matthew she went back to Darryl Payne (The author of "Never Give You Up" from the previous album "Redd Hott") and released "Second To None" on Payne's own label, with its arrangements between electro and freestyle lacks a bit the beautiful production of Prelude Records but the voice is still magnificent, and after her death in 1992, is probably the best musical inheritance she could have left.

Tuesday Knight - Out Of Control (1987)

This is a (apparently) rare 12'' from an American label that corresponds to the name of PARC the same one that published originally tracks by ANA, between House and Freestyle, nice vocals and
kicking bassline, is remixed by Justin Strauss and produced by Frank Wildhorn, responsable for all the Ana singles and author of the moving "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" by Whitney and by Karl Richardson, the man behind Bee Gees, Diana Ross and Barbra Streisand.

Sequal - Tell Him I've Called (1988)


And now something completely different (You should know that we are what you call Musically Psychotic) a very pleasurable number from an American duo that was popular for a (sort of) freestyle track called "I'm Over You", A track
slightly Eurostyle but nicely arranged, here in a extended version from their only published album.
