Label: Bluebird Records
Year: 1985
Notes: This collaboration album featured one side by Paul Hardcastle and the other by Universal Funk which was an alias for Herbie Mastermind. The music is very much on the electro funk tip, Mastermind also featured on scratching duties for the first two Paul Hardcastle tracks on side one. The track 'Hip Hop Beat (Street Mix)' is the Rapologists track that was released on Billy Boy Records in 1984 that was produced and mixed by Mastermind.
The above track 'Forest Fire' features a bass line that sounds very similar to Richie Rich's 'Check It Out', did Richie borrow heavily from this track?
This is one of the Paul Hardcastle tracks that features scratching by Herbie Mastermind.
