| Tracklisting: A Ruff Wrap B Ruff Rapp Note: A is a re-edit of Lady Love - Wrap Your Arms Around Me B is a re-edit of Captain Rapp - Bad Times (I Can't Stand It) The third 12 in this essential edit series sees Greg Wilson reference his past as a Disco DJ in the late 70s and, subsequently, Electro-Funk pioneer of the early 80s. Going way back to his Golden Guinea days, Ruff Wrap revitalizes a hidden gem from 1977 by lady love. this version of casey & finch's infectious miami groover, 'wrap your arms around me', was a record that, although never issued in the uk, was a particular club favourite on merseyside - its local popularity very much down to one of wilson's influences, terry lennaine, who championed the track on his weekly specialist soul show. moving on 6 years to 1983, 'ruff rapp' re-arranges the seminal west coast rap cut 'bad times (i can't stand it)' by captain rapp, which was a monster tune on the black scene during the electro-funk era, having initially featured at wilson's club nights back then, legend and the hacienda in manchester, plus wigan pier. focusing on the social problems of the time, the subject matter of the lyric certainly translates to the current credit crunch climate. |
