Geraldine Hunt Question

[DJ Jimmy M]

What was the LP after "No Way" called..the one with "It Only Doesnt Happen At Night" on it? What year of release, label, country avalibility etc. Theres no mention of it anywhere on the net and me and a friend are goin nuts tryin to find out about it. Maybe people from Canada know?

[Noman]

I have the 12inch of "It doesn't.." and it's on a Red Rock Label (Trans Canada) 1981, and a 7 inch on Carrere,France 1981. Have never seen the album. So Canada or France is the best bet if there is such an album...

Nice to see some interest in these excellent releases. I will add "It doesn't only happen at night" to the vault.

"It Only Doesnt Happen At Night" and "Heart heart" were only available as 12"s. They are available as bonus tracks on a Unidisc release of the lp "No way" (re-titled "Can't fake the feeling") with "Undercover lover" (the original B-side of the 7" "It Only Doesnt Happen At Night"). BTW "It Only Doesnt Happen At Night" is originally a song by Cissy Houston.

Hunt released only three albums in her career: "Sweet honesty" (1978, produced by Tony Green), "No way" (1980) and "Soultry, sexy and jazzy" (1999).

The track I have been looking for now for years is
called "Baby,You're Dynamite"-I think it's only
an album cut,but if anyone knows anything else
about this let me know-like a CD release.I've seen
the LP go for several hundred dollars on Ebay a
few months ago which means I'm not the only one
loving it.Thanks!

I had this Geraline Hunt album when it was first released and my favorite track was Hot blooded woman [it still is in my top 10].

The album came out on Tony Green's label called TGO back then the label was light blue as opposed to the disco dancefloor design he used a year later for France Joli,Luba and U.N. In 1978 TGO was distributed by Polydor but in 1979 EMI took over.

One thing that made me get rid of the album was the fact that the sound was just awful. Too much bass and you couldn't hear the treble at all. (Just in case you decide to get it on eBay - you should ask around).

Curiously around the same time I bought another Tony Green production [this time on London records] ; Carolyne Bernier's Out of the shadows...and I loved it but it had the same problem. Awful sound.Very muddy and barely listenable. Years after ; I came across a copy and took the chance and the sound was perfectly clear.

"Baby,You're Dynamite" is one of my favourite songs too. The song is on the Unidisc cd as a bonus track.

Tracklisting of this Unidisc cd "Can't Fake The Feeling" issued in 1993:

Can't Fake The Feeling (Album Version) 5:19 [No way album, 1980]
No Way 4:51 [No way album, 1980]
Could We 5:20 [No way album, 1980]
Look All Around 5:18 [No way album, 1980]
Glad I'm In Love Again 6:54 [No way album, 1980]
Gotta Give A Little Love 5:10 [No way album, 1980]
It Doesn't Only Happen At Night 6:35 [1981 12"; Cissy Houston cover]
Undercover Lover 4:14 [B-side of It Doesn't Only Happen At Night; written and arranged by Kashif]
Cause Of Love 4:45 [from the 1978 lp Sweet honesty]
Heart Heart 6:30 [1981 12"]
Baby You're Dynamite 4:16 [from the 1978 lp Sweet honesty]
Can't Fake The Feeling (Remix) 7:10 [1993 Unidisc new version]
Can't Fake The Feeling (Dub) 7:00 [1993 Unidisc new version]
Can't Fake The Feeling (Radio Edit) 3:23 [original 1980 7"]

The actual duration of "Could We" is 5:20. The original 1980 lp label says 6:20 but it's a misprint. The song exists just in this 5:20 version.

The two 1993 remixes are both vocal and they are both very bad . They appear also on the Unidisc 12" SPEC-1240. Unidisc did some of these mixes to update disco classics. I remember "Love insurance" by Front Page or "My simple heart" by Carol Douglas having this treatment. Pointless.

This cd is not very hard to find and I think the Amazon sites (for instance) should have it.

And let's not forget the other two Can't fake the feeling mixes available out there.

One is the largely instrumental 7'54 "bootleg" mix by DJ Mo & Mixmaster Irv on the 1997 Bootleg Dance Classics compilation on Unidisc.This CD also features tracks [well they're more dubs] by Musique,Gino Soccio,Machine,Indeep,Sylvester,Lorraine Johnson,Sylvester and D-Train.

The other was the Geraldine Hunt & Prince Quick Mix 12in that appeared on the Twisted label in 1999.It featured 2 remixes : the Quick's Amped Up Discopass and the PQM's Thunderous Mix + a dub.

For completists only.
