Artist Mr. K

Title Edits by Mr. K-Time Of The Season/Theme For Great Cities
Catalog: MXMRK-2037 12 Inch
Label: Most Excellent Limited NYC

Reaching deep into the earliest foundations of his voluminous collection, Danny Krivit presents a psychedelic pop classic rearranged for today’s sound systems and setlists. Recorded in the Beatles’ Abbey Road studio at the height of the Summer Of Love, the Zombies’ “Time Of The Season” is firmly linked in pop culture to the late ‘60s and the Vietnam era, although it almost never made it out to a wider audience. Ignored on its initial release, it was given a second chance by the label as the last gasp from a band that had officially split up a year before. This time around the song steadily gained fans and word-of-mouth plays in the U.S. and by the summer of 1969, two years after it had been recorded, “Time Of The Season” was ubiquitous and well on its way to being firmly enshrined as an emblem of the era.

Krivit’s edit highlights the parade of lush sonic textures that ornament the hip composition, from the iconic, exquisitely echoed bass-clap-exhale riff that opens the song to the cascading Hammond organ solos of Rod Argent. Naturally, this MEU issue keeps the audio quality at its highest level, the better to appreciate these nuances. “It’s a song from my childhood that really struck a chord,” Danny says. “Over the years I often played a rough edit which always seemed to go over great. The song seemed to get better and better, and age like fine wine.” We agree!

From flowers and incense, we move to glass and steel. “Theme For Great Cities” envelops us in a soaring, intense groove, as emblematic of the post-punk no wave style of 1981 as “Time of the Season” was to its own era. Produced by Gong’s Steve Hillage, this futuristic instrumental is a bit like Bowie’s wordless works with Eno, with an added downtown edge. “The original really struck me,” Danny recalls, “especially at Roxy in the early ’80s hip hop nights, on that Richard Long sound system… It really blew me away with its atmosphere!”

Danny’s edit combines the lean and mean original with a trackier remixed version, cleanly lifting off on an epic ride that clocks in at nearly ten minutes. With the revised rhythm section and its quick-punched low end sandwiching the meat of the original’s punishing drums and aggressive, picked bass line, Mr. K gives us the best of the expanded sonics of the remix without losing the atmospherics of the original take.

Co-written with Stevie Wonder, “Stick Together” in its original single release was divided into two parts, the first a fairly conventional uptempo cut with all the catchy qualities you’d expect from Stevie and the husband and wife team of Richard Rudolph and Minnie. It was the second half of the song that caught the ears of DJs who played for funkier dancefloors, however. Freddie Perren, a former member of Motown’s legendary Corporation collective of songwriters and producers, and a man then red-hot off his success with Tavares’ “Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel” and the Sylvers’ “Boogie Fever,” was on production duties, and the song clearly benefits from his disco-friendly touch. In Mr. K’s epic edit we are treated to a lengthy exploration of the second part of “Stick Together,” featuring keyboardist Sonny Burke (veteran of Marvin Gaye’s band and fresh from playing on Candi Staton’s disco smash “Young Hearts Run Free”) working out an irresistible Jingo-esque piano part, Riperton’s sensual ad-libs, and, as if that wasn’t enough, a cameo appearance by Pam Grier on finger snaps! Krivit’s 8-minute-plus edit passes way too quickly to get enough of the hypnotic groove — rewinds are called for!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur flip side, “Body Language,” originated as an album cut on the Jackson Five’s last album of original material for Motown, Moving Violation, recorded before Jermaine left to go solo and the remaining brothers joined Epic Records in a new incarnation as the Jacksons. For such an obvious heater it’s puzzling why the label never released it as a single; but regardless of that apparent misstep, “Body Language” has long been a sure shot in many DJs’ bags. With his new edit, Mr. K presents the track in its ultimate form, loud, remastered, stretched out and rippling with energy over a full six minutes. With an iconic bass line that just doesn’t quit, and Michael and the boys in fine form, it’s impossible to imagine a situation where this wouldn’t set the room on fire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-06-04T18:31:40-04:00","created_at":"2021-06-04T18:31:38-04:00","vendor":"Complete","type":"12 inches","tags":["12\" Disco","12\" Disco Edits","12\" Edits","12\" Inch","Body Language","Disco 12\"","Disco Classic 12\"","Disco Edits","Mr. K","Stick Together"],"price":1400,"price_min":1400,"price_max":1400,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39823117222072,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"#610 Stick Together \/ Body Language - Mr. K","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1400,"weight":261,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":8,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/kaydeerecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/image_1254d9b9-3114-4b51-ab06-cbc8c2ee6204.jpg?v=1622845900","\/\/kaydeerecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/image_6f4b1b29-ba4b-4625-b8df-d3e7a32ea388.jpg?v=1622845900"],"featured_image":"\/\/kaydeerecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/image_1254d9b9-3114-4b51-ab06-cbc8c2ee6204.jpg?v=1622845900","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":22150612811960,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":600,"width":600,"src":"\/\/kaydeerecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/image_1254d9b9-3114-4b51-ab06-cbc8c2ee6204.jpg?v=1622845900"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/kaydeerecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/image_1254d9b9-3114-4b51-ab06-cbc8c2ee6204.jpg?v=1622845900","width":600},{"alt":null,"id":22150612877496,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":600,"width":600,"src":"\/\/kaydeerecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/image_6f4b1b29-ba4b-4625-b8df-d3e7a32ea388.jpg?v=1622845900"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/kaydeerecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/image_6f4b1b29-ba4b-4625-b8df-d3e7a32ea388.jpg?v=1622845900","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eListen:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStick Together \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/d6NY11XaEkY\" title=\"1\"\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/d6NY11XaEkY\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody language \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/X5yNYJulo5I\" title=\"2\"\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/X5yNYJulo5I\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinnie Riperton’s 1977 single “Stick Together” was an outlier in her catalog of smooth modern soul, an intentional nod in the direction of the prevailing disco sound. Co-written with Stevie Wonder, “Stick Together” in its original single release was divided into two parts, the first a fairly conventional uptempo cut with all the catchy qualities you’d expect from Stevie and the husband and wife team of Richard Rudolph and Minnie. It was the second half of the song that caught the ears of DJs who played for funkier dancefloors, however. Freddie Perren, a former member of Motown’s legendary Corporation collective of songwriters and producers, and a man then red-hot off his success with Tavares’ “Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel” and the Sylvers’ “Boogie Fever,” was on production duties, and the song clearly benefits from his disco-friendly touch. In Mr. K’s epic edit we are treated to a lengthy exploration of the second part of “Stick Together,” featuring keyboardist Sonny Burke (veteran of Marvin Gaye’s band and fresh from playing on Candi Staton’s disco smash “Young Hearts Run Free”) working out an irresistible Jingo-esque piano part, Riperton’s sensual ad-libs, and, as if that wasn’t enough, a cameo appearance by Pam Grier on finger snaps! Krivit’s 8-minute-plus edit passes way too quickly to get enough of the hypnotic groove — rewinds are called for!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur flip side, “Body Language,” originated as an album cut on the Jackson Five’s last album of original material for Motown, Moving Violation, recorded before Jermaine left to go solo and the remaining brothers joined Epic Records in a new incarnation as the Jacksons.
