REQ: Bobby Coleman - Must Be The Music

By request from the late 80's, maybe 1990, this was a remake of the classic Secret Weapon song done by Bobby Coleman. Like the Latin Express track, this one also has a local connection for me. The credits give a shout out to Main Music, a record store which has been gone for some time now. It's where I occassionally saw Bobby behind the counter and was my primary source for music back in the day. This was produced by Charlie "Rock" Jiminez, mixed by Elvin and Mickey and has Giggles on the backing vocals.

Latin Express - Brooklyn Knight (1995)

This release comes from my neck of the woods. It came out in 1995 on DFO Records. The 90.7 Radio is a reference to WTCC 90.7 FM (Springfield Technical Community College). They have been playing freestyle on Thursday and Friday nights for like 20 years on the Clubhouse Dance Music show. Check the program schedule and listen here.

Fascination - Go Away (1988)

This track features backing vocals from Lydia "Lee" Love and Nocera, written and produced by Carlos Keyes and Angelo Russo. Sorry for the sloppy scans but I tried to Photoshop out some of the stuff I had written on the labels.

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

By request, the house remix by C+C of The Latin Rascals version of Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. This was the only mix I have Melvin, so hopefully it is the one you are looking for. I know the Santa Esmerelda version had yet another remix that was recently put out by Granite & Sugarman. I'll post it if you want it.

REQ: Denine - I Remember You (1993)

By request, this was the first release on the Metropolitan Records sub-label Viper 7 in 1993. It is basically an Adam Marano production, just like all the others. Either I recieved a bad pressing or the B side mixes are incorrectly labeled. There are no "bonus beats" on the record, both mixes are 'pellas. The first mix contains the 1st half of the chorus, and the second mix contains the 2nd half. You may as well piece them both together because that's how they were supposed to be pressed.

Poll Results: Host Providers

It seems most people picked Zshare and MediaFire as their preferred file hosting site. I have used each and found them both to be inconsistent as far as the upload and download speeds are concerned. I assume most people like them because they seem to have relatively few download limits and no character verification. I personally like Rapidshare and Megaupload because the speeds seem to be more reliable in my experience. And they work extremely well with a d/l manager if you purchase an account.

With that said, I am moving from TinyLoad and giving Sharebee a try. Sharebee will post to RS and MU along with ZS. So I hope that works for the majority of folks who visit. If not, give me a shout.

Crazy Ivan - Mozart's Revenge (1993)

Okay, so this is not freestyle, but Stevie B. was the executive producer. Taking a page from The Latin Rascals and their Bach To The Future project, this release puts a techno-freestyle spin on Mozart.

X-Mix Pack - Part One

Here's the 1st part of an X-Mix freestyle pack. I think I may have already posted the Alisha mix in the past, but it should be the first time for the others.

Since I'm having issues with the multi-upload sites, these are all on RapidShare. I'll try and get additional links up at another time.

Concept Of One - Concept Of One (1993)

This is from the vinyl promo, which does not include the singles released by Noel and Tony Moran, The Question and Dance With Me. Maybe I'll post those separately if there is an interest. This may as well have been called Concept Of Tony Moran because he wrote, produced and performed most of the tracks.
