A double-header of cuts from the Sign O The Times album! "U Got The Look" is presented here in a great extended version, with lots of riffing guitar – and "Housequake" gets a special 7 minute mix, with lots more funky horns overall! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has a promo stamp, light ringwear, and some edge wear.)
One of Prince's biggest tunes ever – and a track that still sounds surprisingly great to our ears these days – funky, chunky, and completely catchy – with a hook that shouldn't go over so well, but really sends the tune home time and time again! "17 Days" is great too ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
One of the grooviest numbers on the classic Y Records label – a jaunty proto-feminist groover by the group that was kind of America's answer to The Slits! The track bounces along in a ragged mix of percussion and dubby bass – mixing up Caribbean influences nicely while the vocals talk ... (Rock) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(US pressing in a die-cut cover, with light wear.)
Latifah's house hit, with remixes by Chicago house producers Julian "Jumpin" Perez and Fast Eddie. Also, a nice remix of Latifah's Law by Tony Humphries. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
"All I Know", produced by Pete Rock, "? Vs. Rahzel", which is a non LP track, has the Godfather of Noize freestyling (you know – quoting, beatboxing and "scratching") over live beats by Brother ?uest Love. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In the oversized gatefold cover, with bumped corners and bent a bit at the sides. Sound chip is no longer functioning.)
A great little club track from Vaughan Mason – cut years after his rollerskating hit, but with a similar sense of space and time! The track's clearly picking up on a house groove, but has a nice spare approach, with beats that never go too over the top – and more of a focus on a ... (House Music) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
One of the few US singles by this British soul group – one of England's best soul acts in the mid 70s! "You To Me" is a great tune – grooving with almost a Barry White-type production, chugging with tight drums under strings, really great on the hook, which is produced with a ...

Soulful Detroit techno tracks from Kevin Saunderson, working here outside his more well known Inner City moniker with Santonio Echols. (New Grooves) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Two cuts from the Soundbombing II project, complete with instrumentals and acappellas. On "Every Rhyme I Write" by Shabaam Sahdeeq featuring Cocoa Brovaz it's good to hear the Cocoa Bros. over the kind of energetic production (by Nick Wiz) that was missing from their last LP. The more ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(Blank label promo in a plain sleeve with one-sheet attached. Labels have artist, title, and phone number written in blue marker and a Prohibited sticker.)
The genius of Jerome Richardson – remixed! Richardson's funky flute and searing tenor work have appeared on some of our favorite jazz groove classics – both European and American – and here, two of his tunes are made by Nicola Conte and Panoptikum! Conte uses a host of extra ... (New Grooves) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Nice stuff! After coming out of the box as a heavier funk outfit in the early 70s, Ripple changed their tune for the disco years – stretching their groove into a warm clubby sound that's stayed classic for years and years! "Beat Goes On & On" is one of their greatest cuts from ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A wonderful Chicago house groover from the Risque rhythm team – one that bubbles along in that mellower, moodier later Chicago groove – with as much emphasis on the keys and bass as on the beats. The softening of the colder edge is really significant – and makes for a perfect ... (House Music) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(Original pressing. Labels have some stains and small peeled spots.)
One of the first hip hop singles that really made the crossover to dancefloor play. By this point, everyone's heard the sample three million times, but it's still holds up better than most of the uptempo cuts from that era. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
A club crossover classic from The Rolling Stones – a track that surprisingly got the group onto the dancefloor in the late 70s, but which still held onto most of their best elements! Although sometimes panned as a cheap disco cash-in effort by some, the tune is actually pretty darn great ... (Rock) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has a stained upper right corner and light ring wear.)
A great little crossover number from Romeo Void – served up here in a dancefloor mix with a bit more on the bottom than the original, but still plenty of those catchy airy guitars and ethereal vocals! The hook's a great one, and although the single's probably more into the 80s rock side of ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
