Adventures Of Stevie V - Jealousy (Club Mix) (1990 - Mercury - 878 663-1)

The Adventures of Stevie V is a UK hip‑house and electronic‑dance project formed by Steve Vincent, documented for its late‑1980s and early‑1990s output. The group is best known for the 1989–1990 international hit “Dirty Cash (Money Talks)”, released on Mercury/Phonogram. Its lineup included vocalists Beverlei Brown, Melody Washington, and Selandra Wright, with multiple name variations appearing across releases (e.g., Adv. of Stevie V, Steve V., The Adventures of Stevie V). The project worked within house, hip‑house, and club‑oriented electronic music, issuing albums and singles between 1989 and the mid‑1990s on labels such as Mercury, Phonogram, and WEA. Mercury Records was founded in 1945 in Chicago by Irving Green, Berle Adams, Arthur Talmadge, and Ray Greenberg, operating as an independent label before later becoming part of Philips (1961–1972) and then PolyGram (1972–1998), and today functioning under Universal Music Group. The label built its reputation through innovative promotion strategies—most notably using jukebox distribution instead of traditional radio‑driven marketing—and quickly became a major force in jazz, R&B, doo‑wop, soul, blues, pop, rock and roll, and classical music. Mercury also operated sub‑labels such as Smash Records and Fontana Records, and expanded internationally through partnerships with EMI and Phonogram. Its catalog includes artists across multiple eras, from early jazz and R&B figures like Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, and Patti Page, to later rock and pop acts including Rod Stewart, 10cc, and Rush. Mercury’s classical imprint Mercury Living Presence became notable for pioneering high‑fidelity single‑microphone recording techniques in the 1950s and 1960s.
