MARI WILSON

- Discography for UK -

June 1980 non-album 7" Mari Wilson with The Imaginations: Loveman

Loveman / If That's What You Want (GTO GT 274) Written by Tot Taylor, produced by Tot Taylor and Paul Bultitude.

Aug 1981 non-album 7" Mari Wilson with The Imaginations: Dance Card

Dance Card / She's Had Enough of You (The Compact Organization, PINK 1) Written by Teddy Johns, produced by Johns & Torvene.

(1985) limited retrospective 12" Mari Wilson: The Ready to Hear Collection [1980-1981]

Dance Card (Teddy Johns) [produced by Johns/Bultitude]
Stop and Start (Teddy Johns) [produced by Johns/Bultitude]
She's Had Enough (Teddy Johns) [produced by Johns/Bultitude]

Love Man (Tot Taylor) [produced by Taylor/Bultitude]
Ecstasy 3.12 (Teddy Johns) [produced by Johns]
If That's What You Want (Tot Taylor) [produced by Taylor/Bultitude] (The Compact Organization ACT 20)

All tracks are from 1980/1981, so I place this single here. "Ecstasy" is the same version that was released on A YOUNG PERSON'S GUIDE TO COMPACT in 1982. Strangely, on the 7" single it says that "Dance Card" and "She's Had Enough" were produced by Johns & Torvene, whereas on this 1985 12" it says "produced by Johns/Bultitude", but I assume it's the same recordings.

Mari Wilson: What's Going On (Cleveland/Gaye/Benson) (Panic Records, PEACE 1)

This track produced by Tot Taylor.

1983 MC THE MARI WILSON CHAT SHOW

(UK Compact Organisation) All info I have found on the net are these two quotes: "Various snippets of Mari in great form as usual. Includes unreleased tracks and various demos/live takes. 60 mins." "The Chat Show tape is an hour of Mari talking and playing assorted recordings, including outtakes, demos and live cuts."

April 1984 non-album 7"/12" Mari Wilson: Ain't That Peculiar

Ain't That Peculiar [Extended Version] // The Maximum Damage / Use Him (12": PINK X8)

Side A written by W. Robinson, W. Moore, M. Tarplin, R. Rogers, produced by Teddy Johns. Side B written and produced by Teddy Johns. According to Mari Wilson's official site, there was a "1984 unreleased second album", and I assume that these 1984 singles were part of that project.

Sep 1984 non-album 7"/12" Mari Wilson: Let's Make This Last

Let's Make This Last (Club Mix) 4.25 [a slightly speeded up version of the 'De Lorean Style' mix] /
Let's Make This Last (Radio Mix) 4.25 [= 'Club Mix' but mixed slightly differently] (DJ 7": PINDJ9)

Let's Make This Last (De Lorean Style Mix) 4.37 //
Let's Make This Last (Stereo Shift Mix Loop One) 4.26 [Re-editing by Dave Moore] /
Let's Make This Last (Stereo Shift Mix Loop Two) 2.36 [Re-editing by Dave Moore] [a.k.a Stereo Shift Mix] (12": PINKX 9)

Produced and mixed by Tony Mansfield.

Back of 7" sleeve: "On the Aside is a De Lorean style mix of Let's Make This Last with all the trimmings. It pulls no punches and asks no questions. Color it pink. On the B side is a different presentation of the song in moving stereo as edited by Dave Moore. Blue is the color. Made by Men & Machines with reckless guitar solo by Colin Ryan."

Back of 12" sleeve: "On the A-side is a De Lorean style mix of Let's Make This Last with all the trimmings. It pulls no punches and asks no questions. Color it pink. On the reverse side are 2 different presentations of the song. Loop 1 is extended. Loop 2 is suspended. Both are edited by Dave Moore. Blue is the color. Made by Men & Machines with reckless guitar solo by Colin Ryan." (The last 2 min 45 seconds of Stereo Shift Mix Loop One are identical to the last 2 minutes and 45 seconds of the "De Lorean Style Mix".)

Mari Wilson with The Wilsations: Let Me Dream 3.58 (written and produced by Teddy Johns) (The Compact Organization, PACT 6)

Quote from the album: "Mari Wilson - between stepping out of the bathtub and stepping onto the disco floor to this new presentation of the loud symphonic thud of 'Lets Make This Last' Mari idly flicked through her collection of film premiere programmes and remembered the day she recorded 'Let Me Dream' for her forthcoming second album. With a voice like this hairstyles are a real luxury."

Hector Cook analysed the mastering of this CD 14 Dec 2022: "With the exception of the standalone 'Ecstasy', all of the 'Showpeople' tracks on this French 1991 CD have different amplification levels and run slightly slower than the corresponding tracks on the 1992 compilation CD (Just What I Always Wanted) and the 2007 compilation CD (Platinum Collection), indicating that they probably were done as well they could have been, which is perhaps why only a year later they were re-done (I hesitate to use the word 're-mastered') again for the 'Just What I Always Wanted' CD."
