No Condition Is Permanent

[Motown label boss Berry] Gordy was systematic about music. He had a recipe for success and was prone to repeat the same formula until the market itself moved on, but even then he had an unshakable belief that like Hollywood, Motown’s success was predicated on storytelling. He argued vociferously that all great songs should have a central narrative, and where possible, the stories should be told in the present tense as if they were happening now. Many great Motown songs adhere to the rules: “My Baby Must Be a Magician,” recorded by the Marvelettes, is a love song that conjures up love and magic; Smokey Robinson’s “Tears of a Clown” uses a circus storyline to describe the mask of love and unhappiness; and R. Dean Taylor tells the story of a home haunted by lost love in “There’s a Ghost in My House.” …he was adamant that Motown did not just make sound — it told stories. Otis Williams of the Temptations claimed that Gordy often seemed more trusting of female advice, and he had gathered from his sisters that women loved songs in which men were forced to plead for love. It might have been questionable psychology, but a remarkable number of Motown hits involve emotionally desperate men pleading, begging, and confessing.

Most of the early Pub Rock groups were content to play rehashed R&B and Country. The only sign of anything new was a group called Kilburn and the High Roads, which featured the menacing, twisted performances of polio victim Ian Dury, with razor blades in his ear and venom in his heart. However, the breakthrough of Dr Feelgood, who electrified the metropolis with razor-sharp performances, tightened up R&B into a menacing mesh. They weren’t just something to drink your beer by, but were downright threatening: Lee Brilleaux and Wilko Johnson, the group’s front pair, looked like villains you might see on The Sweeney.

Pictured: Osbourne Ruddock, a.k.a. King Tubby.

Like most of Glen Brown’s productions, ‘Tubbys At The Control’ was mixed by King Tubby at his home studio at 18 Dromilly Avenue,⁵ Waterhouse. The tiny space was not a recording studio in the conventional sense, nor was Tubby an actual producer until the late 1980s. His bedroom studio was never large enough for rhythms to be created in full, but the space was gradually converted into a sound manipulation unit complete with a machine to cut acetates. ‘Tubbs is an innovator,’ says ‘Prince’ Philip Smart, engineer at the studio for much of the mid-1970s. ‘He didn’t buy his first console, he built it – built the chassis and everything, put all the components together. That’s what he used to use first, until he bought the MCI console from Dynamics, their studio B. It was just that room he had at first. You have a carport, and then the carport is a bedroom and a bathroom, so him turn the bathroom into the voice room and the bedroom into the control room, and he had his repair shop in another little house in the back. His main income was building amplifiers and winding transformers, because he had contracts for hotels that needed transformers for stabilizing the current. The music was an addition, because he had the sound and he always wanted to make his own dubs, so that’s how he started: he bought the dub machine to cut his own dubs.’

I don’t think Anya [Phillips] talked [Brian] Eno into doing No New York. I think that was totally his idea…But that was a very casual session. I never even talked to him about it until the actual session…It was just a document. He didn’t even use any baffles or anything. I tried to fix some vocals but there was no way to do anything, not even any overdubs, because it was all too bled together. It sounds good, but it was not like ‘the great Eno production.’ It was like anti-production.

There is still the victory of the submissive and the weak over the hard and the strong to be explained in a way consistent with the precept of holding fast to the submissive. The explanation lies in the fact that, in achieving victory over the hard and the strong, the submissive and the weak do not become their opposites. In order to understand this, we must bear in mind the fact that in the Lao tzu a term is often used in two senses, the ordinary and the Taoist. ‘Victory’ is such a term. In the ordinary sense of the word, it is the strong that gains ‘victory’ over the weak. In this sense, victory cannot be guaranteed indefinitely, as however strong a thing is, it is inevitable that one day it will meet with more than its match. The Taoist sense of the word ‘victory’, in contrast, is rather paradoxical. The weak does not contend, and so no one in the world can pick a quarrel with it. If one never contends, this at least ensures that one never suffers defeat. One may even wear down the resistance of one’s stronger opponent by this passive weapon of non-contention, or at least wait for him to meet with defeat at the hands of someone stronger. It is in this sense that the submissive and the weak gain ‘victory’ over the hard and the strong.

Barry White formed Love Unlimited—a girl group that featured Diane Taylor, Linda James, and Glodean James plus a forty-piece backing orchestra—in 1969, and the band recorded its first chart hit in the spring of 1972 with “Walkin’ in the Rain with the One I Love.” The following summer, the Texas-born White released the group’s second album, Under the Influence of…, deploying a lush, orchestrated aesthetic that suggests that, in tandem with the material emerging from Philadelphia International, the sonic symphonic had become a national phenomenon. Even though it was recorded as an album filler, “Love’s Theme” provided a particularly stunning example of the new aesthetic, but 20th Century had other promotional priorities for the six-foot-three-inch, 270-pound White, who was simultaneously establishing himself as a major independent recording artist in his own right, having notched up hits with “I’m Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby,” “I’ve Got So Much to Give,” and “Never, Never Gonna Give You Up.” Then, however, David Rodriguez and Nicky Siano paid a visit to Billy Smith, the label’s East Coast promotion under-assistant. “We went down into the basement and saw the Love Unlimited album on the shelf,” says Siano. “Billy said, ‘These are dead albums waiting to be trashed,’ and David replied, ‘They’ve got black people on the cover—give them to us!’ David and I started playing ‘Love’s Theme’ and it took off from there.” Realizing he had nothing to lose, Smith distributed free copies of the LP to New York’s leading DJs, and, when demand spiraled, “Love’s Theme” was released as a single by the renamed Love Unlimited Orchestra. By February 1974 it had reached number one.” ‘Love’s Theme’ was in the top twenty before it even got any airplay,” says Siano. “The power we had was phenomenal!”

For the party nights, we were all dressed in Indian costumes. Michael Howard, the creative director for Dior, must have worked for weeks. The lighting and décor of the fort and the events were amazing: up along the internal ramps leading to the courtyard were dozens of drummers, horses, camels caparisoned in mirrors and tassels, dancers, acrobats, fire-eaters, ladies throwing rose petals; great posters painted by people from the Indian film industry. Vlad was Bond and Naomi [Campbell] was his Bond girl, the title ‘Bond is Back’. Part of the attraction of their romance must be the idea of the glamorous couple. And, because of the thronging festivities, we felt like we were in a film set. Diana Ross took a fancy to Andreas [Kronthaler] and he politely got on stage with her for a minute or two.

Naomi mentioned that she’s going to do some charity work in India about waste recycling. I talked to David X Prutting, who was the official photographer. He told me that when he first visited India, he went to photograph and meet the lowest class, who clean up the shit. He loved them; they were the only people who never asked him for money. Like everyone, he found it hard to cope with the poverty. David said, ‘The way to deal with it is to accept it for yourself, to take it into yourself, to say yes, this is a life, to respect.’

The new psychology—soon to be culturally interpreted as existentialism—privileged living in the moment and was materially oriented. The old world was dead and the best-placed group to flourish in the uncertain postwar era were the young—who had always been held to embody an auspicious future. “Their lives are lived principally in hope,” Aristotle had written, while for Stanley Hall, adolescence was nothing less than “a new birth.” In the act of forgetting necessary for the Western world to continue, youth was once again—as it had been after the Great War—exalted as a tabula rasa.

Pictured: Gregory Isaacs.

Also known, for very good reason, as the Cool Ruler, [Gregory] Isaacs had been in the business since the early 1970s and recorded for Rupie Edwards, Niney, Gussie Clarke and G G Ranglin – he’s even supposed to have sung back-up vocals at the Black Ark, notably on Heart of the Congos – and founded his own African Museum label. Originally nothing more remarkable than an easy-rocking crooner, it wasn’t until he developed a distinctive style that he began to count for much. By the middle of the decade he’d evolved a style that was perfect on both sides of the divide as it shot his delivery through with an apparently desperate thread of disaffection. Either in love or in society at large, Gregory’s trademark approach to any sort of song was one of loneliness and rejection. Couched in terms clever enough for him to be singing about either the love of Jah or the love of a good woman, he’s either posing as an outcast from the community or he’s just been dumped; you decide. Women loved this apparent vulnerability, while the guys admired his mix of rude-boy style, dreadlocks attitude and lurrrve god way with the ladies. All of which comes together, plus a sense of the Cool Ruler’s charisma, on a live recording of “Border,” a session which also gives insight into his relationship with his fans. Apparently unprompted they sing, note perfect, each chorus of I’m leaving outta Babylon / I’m leaving outta Rome… we wan’, we wan’ go home, while he ends the song with a triumphant, smirking ‘Yuh like it?’

— Lloyd Bradley, Bass Culture: When Reggae Was King.

Pictured: Frank Zappa (l.) & the Mothers of Invention.

The function of the drums in a rock music ensemble is to keep the beat. (“It has a good beat … I give it 10 points, Dick.”) On early R&B records, the drum part was usually executed with brushes. All the arrangements required, generally, was a dull thud on the second and fourth pulse of the bar. There were very few “breaks” or “fills.” When the drum fill (a short percussion outburst, usually at a cadence or resting point of a musical phrase) became popular in rock arrangements, it most often took the form of groups of triplets (three-note rhythmic figures, squeezed into the space of two beats … sounding like: ya-da-da ya-da-da ya-da-da ya-da-da- whomp). For a while, during the mid-50s, it seemed like every record produced had one or more fills of this nature in it. Eventually, with the improvements in studios and recording techniques, the drummers began to use sticks on the sessions and the cadence fills became more elaborate but, before and after the fill, the drummer’s job was still to keep the beat … that same old crappy beat … the beat that made the kids hop around and scream and yell and buy records. A long process of rhythmic evolution has taken place since the early 50s. It is laughable now to think of that dull thud on the second and fourth as lewd and pulsating.

— Frank Zappa, “The Oracle Has It All Psyched Out,” Life, June 28th 1968.
