A couple more Covers

brutus442 - 2016-04-13 10:31

Dizzy K's smiling way too much with that Tecsonic/ Prosonic/ Trident box. It's more show than go, sadly. A big box with very "middle of the road" sound

He should be sporting a Mona Lisa smile at best.

Good find Dimitris!!

Uhh ... how about you get my cassette players -- all three of the big-box ones -- to work, eh, sister? What's that unit keeping you company in the photo', anyway? And how come I'm just now noticing a headphone set, hung around your neck and -- big hint -- all but hidden by your dark locks?

Oh, the scandal! Oh, the effrontery! Oh, the cheekiness! What -- no shortwave tuning?

Hi, Brutus! Uh ... which "very 'middle of the road'"-sounding model of the Tecsonic, AKA Prosonic, AKA Trident is it that Dizzy K is enthusiastically readying to lecture us about -- left-hand index finger raised in a "now, class, pay attention" manner?

Or is his left-hand index finger gleefully signalling to us: "I rock the house good with this here 'box that I'm rockin', and you know it"?

Update: Hold the 'phone and call me wowed! Minutes ago, I discovered on YouTube that our man Dizzy K is the guy who performed the 1984 jam "Baby Kilode," a big hit in mid-Eighties Nigeria and maybe elsewhere in West Africa. I actually did a Google search for "Dizzy K Sweet Music," using his album's or mini-LP's title track. I suspected nothing about him being the high-tenor, ringing-voiced fave of mid-Eighties Nigerian daytime videos. And, tellingly, even the first fifty-five seconds of the six-minute-odd "Sweet Music" title track sounded oddly familiar, though I suspect that it's been decades since I heard that song -- wherever that was.

So why listen to only fifty-five seconds or so of the jam? I shrug to say that the YouTube playback had to be stopped for more pressing family matters.

May 6, 2016 Update: I've just listened to the six-minute-odd uploading to YouTube of this mid-Eighties "Naija" jam. Yes, indeed, I'm certainly recalling that song with its refrain:

Sweet music, coming from the -- radio (It's you, baby)  (Repeat)

And there's the "bridge" section where he coos:

Live transmission: I give my love to you (To you, to you)

Live transmission: I send my love to you (To you, to you)

 And, of course, I'm doing some re-playing of the upload's segments -- clicking here, clicking there -- to get certain lyrics just right. Well, that's one introduction or re-introduction to fun in Nigeria in the Eighties ...

Just paused here to say that I instantly recognized the first LP out of all the seven music releases individually modelled in front of the presumably European-market Crown stereo in this seven-feature photo' tower. We had and played the record in the mid-1980s on another continent. While the title of the LP seems to be Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam With Full Force: I Wonder If I Take You Home, this record is definitely not just the album of that Brooklyn-formed octet.

I remember that the opening jam on the compilation was "One Bad Apple" by Nolan Thomas. By the way, I had to look up the surname of this artiste just now. I must now say that I've known for years that this version is a remake of a 1970s jam. I just didn't know that Nolan Thomas' song was a remake of a Seventies song by the Osmonds --according to WhoSampled.com -- and not one by the Jacksons.

Anyway, I remember the next jam to be the floor-stomper of a title track by Lisa Lisa and the guys. I also recall the song "I'm Too Cool" by Young & Company, which may have been a "B"-side selection or the last side "A" jam. Though, for some strange reason, I can't find any images online -- via a Google Images search -- of the back of the compilation; all the available data seem to be about same-artwork EPs of different versions of the Lisa Lisa et al smash hit.

Speaking of artwork, I kind of recognize the third-featured LP, The Message by Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel & The Furious Five -- though, of course, rapper/bodybuilder Melle Mel isn't named on the vinyl's cover.

And, speaking some more about album artwork, concerning the cover of the Hypochondriacs' LP Hook, Line & Sinker: what a waste! Especially since the bubbling-down boombox seems to be a shortwave-tuner -- uh, whatever its brand and model may be.

And, to the tatty-pants guy all but sitting on that Philips/Magnavox 'box on the cover of the Crown Jewels 2 CD: "Uh ... don't do that."

Thanks for the link, Brutus. And, yes, that's a good-looking, clean-looking Prosonic PQR-9850 that we see an angled-front photo' of atop that outdoor, glass-topped patio table back in September 2011. Don't know what the stereo's wattage value is; member Stretch's January 2010 photo' of the big thing's back doesn't really show the high-relief data plate well. But the battery-bay photograph does let one make out that it's an eight-battery stereo. I doubt the engineers obliged, but a fine-tuning knob would have been that much handier come shortwaving time.

Uh, without sifting through message threads -- I really got to go -- do you still have it? Or did you ensure that it went to a good home, owned and used by a good guy with a good selection of music, et cetera, et cetera ...
