& More - Materialistic Girl (1989)

Hello again, today I wanna share & post for 2nd time this amazing MicMac tune. As I know it was release in 1989 (I don’t know why MicMac Records never had year on label, that’s why I’m not sure about the year).
This song is really cool, I love it because of the Carlos Berrios edits on the song, of course my favourite version is the Berrios Beats.
I hope you enjoy this song & also this video of the performance of this song on Rik Tuner Show, recorded probably in 1990.
See you next time, maybe with another re-post or a new record, hehe, I don’t know yet.

Alé - I Wanna Know (1988)

Hello my dear friends, now I wanna share with you this classic tune performed by Alé. This one is I Wanna Know from 1988, produced by the A&M Records sublabel, Vendetta Records. Some people don’t know but Alejandra Lorenzo (Alé) is one of the first members of the original Exposé. She recorded just the original version of Point Of No Return & Exposed To Love.
The first version on the record is the Vendetta version; the second one appears originally on the first release of the song made by Nu Zone Records.
Hopefully I’ll be back next week with another release. Peace!

Infinity featuring Lizzie Perez - Not Gonna Be The One (1990)

Hola everybody, I’m back & I’m really really happy this week. Tonight I have this amazing single from 1990, a rare production of Dr. Tony “Edit” Garcia. It is Not Gonna Be The One by Infinity, the singer is Lizzie Perez. I really love this single because of the edits, the music, & Lizzie’s voice.
It was made by Renaisance Records, a sublabel of Requestline Records. It seems it was the only one record under Renaisance Records label.
The 2nd song on the B side is amazing & really nice, it sounds like classic Berrios Beats. It has a 1-2-3-2-1 sequence. You have to listen to it.
All I wonder right now is where Lizzie Perez is, she had a lovely voice.
See you hopefully next week with a “new” tune just for you, hehe.

Diva - I Wanna Break Night With You (1987)

Hello, I’m back after a long time in school & job. Now I have a little chance to convert, post, & picture this single. Now is time for one of my favourite Freestyle independent label PKO Records (Pure Knock Out Records). It’s I Wanna Break Night With You by Diva from 1987. This female group was formed by Yvonne Cotto, Cindy Martin, & Anette Mimoso. When I saw the cover for first time I thought the first girl was Caroline Jackson from the Cover Girls, then I saw she’s not, haha.
The record is amazing with excellent edits & remixes of the Latin Rascals. I hope you like it. See you soon my friends, take care!

The Beat Club - Dream World (1987)

Hey I’m back, again with one of my favourites, Dream World performed by The Beat Club from 1987. I think this one is better than there 1988 hit Security.
I like this one so much because the edits are really awesome, my favourite version is the Extended because of the extra-edited part at the middle of the song. Also this tune sounds really weird & crazy, including the latin beat, bass, & sound of Miami
Side B (The Beat Side) sounds like a dub for the song.
See you later friends, & don't forget it, keep smiling.

Tina B - January February (1987)

I think this is the best season of the year to post this song, you know, January came, February is over… then it should be March.
Like I did a long time ago, now I’m posting again this clave track by Tina Baker, of course produced by her husband Arthur. This one came out in 1987 released by Criminal Records. It has too many good producers & editors like Arthur Baker, The Latin Rascals &… many more!
I love the guitar solo at the end of Club Vocal, not too many Freestyle tunes have electric guitar. Dubs are good too.
Enjoy it again my friends. Whenever you read this, have a wonderful day & don’t forget it, see you next time.

Cynthia - Change On Me (198?)

Today I post for you the most commercial MicMac Freestyle release ever, Change On Me by Cynthia Torres, from 1986 or early 1987. I can’t describe this song, because I know all Freestyle fanatics know it, hehehe. Well, House mixes are OK, Percapella is good too, but my favourite version is the Nuwave Mix.
See you friends, I’ll be uploading & re-uploading weekly.
NOTE: Radio Edit (A3) is really damaged, it has some scratches & crunchy sound almost at the end.

Let's Break - Scratch / Electric Boogie (1984)

I don’t know how to describe this record, if it is a bootleg or a fake compilation. This one is a Mexican record made back in 1984 including the most popular breakdance, break-beat, italo & Freestyle songs of that year performed by a mexican group without name.
It has some fake versions of the songs of some artists like Kraftwerk, George Kranz, Vangelis, New Order, Fun Fun, Freeez, The Rock Steady Crew, Herbie Hancock, Shannon, & others I don’t remember very well.
I posted it because it is funny to listen (at least for me) the “mexican versions” of those classic hits. That version of Shannon’s No. 1 Hit (Side B, 10:15 min.) is OK.
See you next time my friends, don’t forget to listen those rare tracks. Oh, & tell me what do you think about this record.

Latin Rascals - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (1988)

Posted for second time by me. Again here it is my favorite single made by the Latin Rascals (of course after It Must Be You).
This one was produced back in 1988 with a lot of versions & mixes (this 12" single just includes the latin & freestyle versions, but there is another with house versions). After the 4 versions there's another song, Life's Too Short, I wonder if they made more remixes for that song.
Enjoy it again, see ya!

Zee - Madness (1987)

Today I post a masterwork by Mark Liggett & Chris Barbosa. This one is from 1987 but it has the classic sound from Shannon's Give Me Tonight, but also it is mixed with the sound of Monet's My Heart Gets All The Breaks from 1987 too.
It has the classic Ligosa sound on all the record.
There's just a mistake on, it was pressed on 45RPM but the label reads originally 33RPM. I know you will like this Warlock single, & if you like Shannon & Monet songs you will love this one.

Nea - You've Gone Away (1990)

Hello again, now it's time to post another Freestyle song. This one is a rare Freestyle tune with samples of Street Hip-Hop. Dub version is really good because the effects on Nea's voice are so amazing. It was released by SGO Records (Sound Great On Records).
Enjoy it & tell me if you like it. Bye, see you next time.

Mike Arce - Tender Love (1989)

Hello again, today I post another of my favorites, this one with a big influence of the obscure sound of late 80’s in New York. The NYC Mix is really good with nice edits.
Side B has a dub version for the song. It seems the 2 versions on side B are the same Underground Dub. If they aren't, please let me know. If mistakenly they are, there has to be a lost master-tape with the original Instrumental version, hehe.
OK, like everytime I tell you, I hope you enjoy this single no matter quality of conversion from vinyl to MP3. And please my friends, don't forget to comment, remember that your comments are very important for me.
NOTE: The volume of the record sounds a little loud but I’m almost sure it was originally recorded that way.

Shannon Beaty - Hot Love (1989)

Oh my friends, thank God I´m back & my PC now is working perfectly. Well, today I´m sharing with you this nice Californian Freestyle song from 1989. It is called Hot Love & it´s performed by Shannon Beaty. This one is a Promo Copy, I don´t know how common or how rare is this song, I just know you will enjoy this tropical-electro-salsa beat on both sides.
The picture cover of the record is nice too, I just wonder if she is Shannon Beaty or she´s just a model for the picture cover.
OK guys, I´ll try to come back next Friday with another tune, just please, tell me if you are still checkin´out my blog. See ya´& maybe is late for it but... HAVE A HAPPY 2009!!! HeHeHe.

Little Suzy - Randy (1988)

Well, it seems to be the first release of Little Suzy, or Lil' Suzy, however. This one was released on the year I was born, that's right, 1988, hehehe.
This one is an excellent song produced by Andy Tripoli & remixed by The Latin Rascals. My record has some scratches but however, it plays OK. Oh, the edits on side A are really really cool, I know you will like this single.
OK, see you friends, & if I don't see you again before December 24th, have a Very Merry Christmas, God bless your family, the people you love & of course God bless you.

The Cover Girls - My Heart Skips A Beat (1989)

It's time for a classic song from my favorite female group ever. This one is My Heart Skips A Beat from 1989 from the We Can't Go Wrong album. This nice pack of House & Freestyle versions was produced by David Cole & Robert Clivilles. I like there sound but they usually made more House than Freestyle in their remixes. However, this one is a nice record, but it seems the title of the songs is not correct (Freestyle versions are B2 & B3, not A1 like I thought it was).
Well, enjoy it, also enjoy the 1989 performances I post for this song.
