Funky 45's — All Formats  

Includes the tracks "Nightmare", "The Blues", and "Shoot The Likker To Me, John Boy".

A rare gem from The Vibrations – some obscure Epic Records tracks from the 60s – a time when the group were one of the hippest things going on the Chicago soul scene! There's a great balance between tight harmonies and fiesty rhythms here – a two-sided pleasure pack on 7" wax!

Includes "Breezin Along", "Tea For Two", "Fascinatin Rag", and "Little Rock Getaway".

History in the making! Both cuts are classics from Sly Stone – with a revolutionary groove that forever changed the face of soul music! Excellent groovers both – a back to back funky soul classic!

Excellent work from this sweet modern soul artist – one who never issued a full album on Epic! "I'm Not Ready" soars along right from the start – a brilliant mix of strings and congas setting fire to a really warm groove – which is then topped with these wonderful vocals that really reach for the skies! "Shoulder To Lean On" has almost a Philly feel, but more of a New York groove underneath – slight funk that ripples amidst the strings, and underscores the vocals with a nice righteous vibe!

Rare 1967 BBC Sessions from Hendrix! Includes a cover of Dylan's "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" from the BBC Radio's Rhythm And Blues on October 17, 1967 – plus a newly unearthed take on Hendrix's own "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp" as performed on Top Of The Pops on August 24, 1967. The epic backdrop of Mitch Mitchell's drums and Noel Redding's bass are so underappreciated these days, though there's no overlooking how incredible Jimi is out front. Hendrix plays a bit of harpsichord here, too!

A great little box set of Syl Johnson sides from Numero's epic, jaw-droppingly far-reaching Complete Mythology package! The purpose here was not only put together a beautiful, more portable vinyl sampler of the amazing 6LP/4CD complete set, they also did it to represent the breadth of Syl's soul genius and mastery of a range of styles over years. Honestly, we can't imagine how difficult it must have been to pick standout tracks to feature here, but however many blood-vessels in the brain they must have busted to choose the best, it delivers perfectly. Packaged in a white box that's sealed with custom Syl Johnson craft tape! "Do You Know What Love Is" b/w "The Love I Found in You", "My Funky Band" b/w "Sockin’ Soul Power", "Double Whammy" b/w "Wiggle In Your Hips", "Right On" b/w "Pt. 2", "Try My Love Again" b/w "All I Need Is Someone Like You".
