From the original thread -

The Rough Guide to . . .

"This is the thread where we pretend we work for the World Music Network label and have been asked to compile a single-disc [repeat: single-disc] overview of a single genre for their Rough Guide series. "Genre" can mean whatever you want it to. Traditionally the Rough Guide discs have been over 60 minutes and/or at least 15 tracks long, though not always both. (The recent Rough Guide to Ska, for example, is 20 tracks totaling 48 minutes.)"

So . . . let's continue!

A bit off thread but I did not believe that Sam Fox track. But it's true..

Just because we're dancing
Doesn't mean that we're romancing too
Boy I hardly know you - so I have to show you

That it's not as easy as it seems to be
To get all what you want from me
It takes more than one night
Wait till the time is right
And right now I wanna - pump it - pump it - pump it

Hurt me, hurt me
I know you wanna take me home
But Baby, that's not what I want
Hurt me, hurt me
You can work my body all night long
But the pants stay on!

My reputation says, I'm not one for hesitation
But when it comes to - sex - I'm very, very patient

Boy it's not as easy as it seems to be
To get into my pants without getting into me
Now you know - this girl ain't no hoe
The pants stay on till I say so

Hurt me, hurt me
I know you wanna take me home
But Baby, that's not what I want
Hurt me, hurt me
You can work my body all night along
But the pants stay on!

All I need is time to get to know you better
Dancing's all that's on my mind - tonight

Hurt me, hurt me
I know you wanna take me home
But Baby, that's not what I want
Hurt me, hurt me
You can work my body all night long
But the pants stay on!

Spencer do you know about these new Trax 20th Anniversary compilations? one's all new stuff but the other is 3CD "Classics"--two mixed CDs, one unmixed, basically your Rough Guide.

Matos W.K. (M Matos), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 18:02 (twenty years ago) link

I just looked it up (the classics) and yeah, the unmixed disc is similar to mine! (mine's better though, haha). I wonder how those mix discs are - I always like to imagine early house mixed in with old Paradise Garage style tunes.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 19:02 (twenty years ago) link

pps i'm sharing this on slsk

Have been thinking about doing one (grew up listening to him quite a bit as my parents are big fans) but bought Capitol Years: 1965-1977 which is a pretty complete document of his best output (great package/notes etc - and compiled by Saint Etienne!)

Obvious essential tracks:

Gentle On My Mind
By The Time I Get To Phoenix
Wichita Lineman
Galveston
Rhinestone Cowboy
Southern Nights

and my additional faves:

Mary In The Morning
Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife
Try A Little Kindness
Dream Sweet Dreams About Me
Don't It Make You Want To Go Home
Country Boy

There are other great tracks on that particular comp and it is highly listenable.
