The ninth release in the Sources series focuses on one of the more unique New York independent record labels of the early to mid-1980s. Originally created by producer extraordinaire Arthur Baker, the label managed a dazzling array of hit records from the start with huge international smashes by Rockers Revenge, Freeeze and New Edition. The label was also responsible for signing some left-field records like Dr Johnâ€™s â€œJet Setâ€, the weird and wonderful Dominatrix with â€œThe Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight and even New Order with â€œConfusionâ€, displaying a wide-reaching grasp of different styles. No record was too bizarre for Streetwise who licensed in the pumping jazz-funk of Touchdownâ€™s â€œEase Your Mindâ€ and even Eartha Kittâ€™s Gay anthem â€œWhere Is My Manâ€. The label dominated the U.S. and U.K. Dance charts with a plethora of releases like Colonel Abrams early Garage anthem â€œMusic Is The Answerâ€, Cuba Goodingâ€™s fantastic re-make of â€œHappiness Is Just Around The Bendâ€ and even veteran diva Loleatta Holloway with the brittle â€œCrash Goes Loveâ€. They were also in early on the Rap/Hip-Hop scene with Dimples D, Guru and T La Rock & Jazzy Jay. As with all Sources releases, this is another deep dip into New York club culture and Streetwise was pretty much as close to the streets as the name suggests.
