Soul — In Stock — 12-inch  

An electro classic – and one of the best tunes to come out of that whole Italian disco scene! The single's got a nice midtempo popping beat, and it's pressed up in a cool format that has a much bigger label than a regular single.... read more

Rare Chicago boogie!... read more

A gem of a disco track – later than most of the Salsoul Orchestra's hits, but handled by Patrick Adams with a soulful groove that makes Loleatta Holloway's vocals come off wonderfully! Remix by Shep Pettibone.... read more

Percolating beats, sweet keys, and a great little hook – all more than enough to earn John Schuller the Slyck nickname on the label! The tune's a rare 80s groover, of the raw indie variety – a great alternative to some of the too-smooth soul of the time! "Talk To Me" is... read more

One of the strangest disco tunes of all time – but a great one! "Sessomatto" is a groover lifed from an old soundtrack by Armando Trovajoli – a stop-start number that you'll recognize easily from the Easy Tempo crew, and from its use in famous samples. The cut's presented... read more

An excellent club groover with a tight modern soul sound! The cut's got a wonderful hook, and some really nice warm production that puts over the track in a way that sounds very late 70s indie. No surprise, since Patrick Adams is producing and arranging!... read more

Patrick Adams really helps give Skipworth & Turner a groove on this one – a groove that's tight, midtempo, and stepping in a warm flourish of keyboards and beats! The cut's got a great hook that keeps on going long after the tune stops – and although it's somewhat of a pop number,... read more

Strange stuff! "Automatic Lover" is a clear Kraftwerk rip off, complete with robotic vocals, and a cold German backing. Very different than anything else Sylvia ever did, and proof that she was certainly a nutter!... read more

A great bit of crossover dancefloor – and the one standout hit from The System! "In My System" has a groove that's electric and soulful at the same time – nicely percolated and a bit compressed – served up with a hook that won't quit! "Now I Am Electric" is a... read more

A great little funky single – produced by Walter Junie Morrison, with a tight P-Funk groove that's got plenty of jazzy riffs. Sounds like the Horny Horns in the best parts, with a soulful approach that's better than most of George Clinton's work from the time!... read more

Excellent! The cut's a dancefloor classic – and it's got this wonderful little moogy instrumentation that's a perfect example of the genius of Patrick Adams and Greg Carmichael, who put the whole thing together, and who give the cut a real P&P funky flavor. A real killer, and one that... read more

If you look at this single in perspective, it really should have been massive, Jody Wately's huge chart hit, with added verses by Rakim and a remix courtesy the Bomb Squad, all of whom were pretty much at the top of their game in the late 80s, when this was cut.... read more

An overlooked, hypnotic 80s synth soul track from disco diva Carol Williams! This rare club mix of "Can't Get Away (From Your Love)" adds a dense layer of echoes and effects to Carol's vocals, and really digs deep into that early 80s synth heavy club sound of Detroit and Chicago. It's... read more

Warm Philly magic from the great Vince Montana – a track that links together both parts of the city's sound in the decade of 70s soul! "Love Is You" bubbles along on strings, beats, and vibes long before Carol's vocals come into the mix – and then really takes off... read more

A great little boogie groove from Wrecking Crew – not the west coast group, but one of the few midwest acts to work on the Erect label! "Chance To Dance" bounces along with a nice sort of ensemble funk mode – male vocals in the lead, but mixed vocals in support –... read more

An important early record from Yello – only a 4 track ep, but one that had a huge influence on modern dance! The standout cut here is "Bostich" – a great little track that's spare, electronic, and has snapping beats, catchy vocals, and this dark sound that fit perfectly with... read more

Bootsy and Roger went all the way to the bank with this one – a classic electro funk groover without which, most of west coast late 80s/early 90s hip hop would not exist! The cut's a monster – and still sounds wonderful whatever the context.... read more

We don't know who Vin Zee was, but he's wearing satin pants, leg warmers and roller skates and carrying a stuffed, roller-skating albino gorilla doll on the cover of this single, so he's allright by us! The cut has an early 80's pop-funk sound, like when Kool & the Gang started to crossover,... read more
