This issue contains some of the earliest production work that Jam & Lewis did for other artists. Here we have the Klymaxx LP “Girls Will Be Girls” featuring Jam/Lewis production on tracks 2, 4, 5 & 6 (I included the whole album here). Thelma Houston’s “Qualifying Heat” LP had Jimmy & Terry’s production on side 1 which is all I included of this album. I included the S.O.S. Band’s track ‘For Your Love’ as it is the only Flyte Tyme track from “On The Rise” I’ve never acquired on CD. The rest of the issue is the usual mixes, remixes, dubs, etc. from the super hot Cherrelle as well as Cheryl Lynn, Janet Jackson, Patti Austin, The S.O.S. Band and Thelma Houston.

How I do it: Technics SL-1200MK2 turntable w/Audio Technica AT440MLa phono cartridge via analog connection to a Yamaha RX-Z1 A/V Receiver which goes analog to a Sony PCM-R300 DAT deck. The DAT deck does the analog to digital conversion and the audio signal is then sent digitally through a Turtle Beach Catalina sound card and recorded via Cool Edit Pro as a wav file on my computer. The wav file is then processed with ClickRepair, trimmed/edited in Cool Edit Pro and converted to FLAC. All FLAC files have been verified with Trader’s Little Helper. I guess the simplified lineage would be: Vinyl>WAV>FLAC

A HUGE THANK YOU to squirrelgrease for the artwork that accompanies these issues. To put it simply, the artwork is stunning!
