The 20th and final week in the non-rock 12″ singles played alphabetically series – a continuation of last week’s wrap up, stuff is played randomly. There are a new re-edits in this reggae-heavy show: Ben Jamin edits Carol Williams ‘Just Feel’, a Salsoul track from 1976, Peter Tosh covers Chuck Berry’s 1958 hit ‘Johnny B. Goode’, John Holt covers Curtis Mayfield’s ‘Stoned Out Of My Mind’. The second hour shifts out of the reggae/soul feel and adds some electronic tracks.

The 19th week in the non-rock 12″ singles played alphabetically series – one more week to go! This week and next week break the pattern and simply cover 12″ singles I received since this series started. The (unspoken) model I had been following, of selecting singles from labels I don’t extensively follow, is also left behind. Many of my favorite labels appear this and next week.

The 17th week in the non-rock 12″ singles played alphabetically series closes out the letters, taking us from U to Z. There will be 2 more weeks of the series to cover 12″ singles that came out since this series started. Historic artists in this show are War, E.T. Webster, Klaus Weiss, Womack & Womack and Bernie Worrell. I can identify 5 of the re-edits. Daniel Wang edits Culture Club ‘I’m Afraid Of Me’. Two celebrity remixers: Justin Strauss (of 70s Long Island band Milk ‘n Cookies) remixes Woolfy, and Frankie Knuckles remixes Womack & Womack. Leo Zero edits Eric B. & Rakim ‘I Know You Got Soul’ and The Clash ‘Magnificent Seven’.

The 17th week in the non-rock 12″ singles played alphabetically series brings us to the letter T. Aside from 3 70s tracks [Lamar Thomas, Hamilton Brothers, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons], there are a bunch of original production & re-edits from The Ivory Boy, Tolouse Low Trax, Manuel Tur [Germany], 33.10.3402 [Serbia], Prins Thomas [Norway], Turbo Boom-Boom [France], Tiago (and also his TNT Subhead guise) [Portugal], Tomaga, Tom Of England [London], Anton Klint & Edvin E, Tryck & Ton [Sweden]. The re-edits I can identify are The Ivory Boy edits Le Figlie Del Vento ‘Mare’ 1978 from Italy, Tom Of England (Thomas Bullock) twists Anarchy In The UK into something entirely else, Treasure edits B-52s ‘Deep Sleep’ (from the Mesopotamia LP in 1982), Tropical Tricks has an Al Kent edit of Hamilton Brothers ‘Music Makes The World Go Round’ 1978, Pilooski edits Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, and the show closes with Talking Drums editing the unrelated 1985 band Talking Drums ‘Sweet July’.
