Sure it was a hit, but it's also a great track too – complete with lots of production twists and turns from Trevor Horn, as well as impeccable string arrangements from Anne Dudley! USA remix is actually a "dub version" – one that really cuts the song up a lot, and almost ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
We used to love this single back in the day! Soulful vocals over an electro/seminal house groove, served up here in a radio edits and dub versions. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has light ringwear, heavy edge wear, small stain at the bottom seam, and is bent at the sides and corners.)
An excellent early 80s dancefloor groover, with some sweet soulful vocals by Gayle Adams, one of our favorite singers on Prelude from that period. Francois K gives the drums a nice snap, over that great 80s moogy groove! 12-inch, Vinyl record
"Fire Up" is a great bit of party funk from ADC – a tune that's got a romping bassline that really sets the pace of the track – then follows up with a snapping rhythm that's got plenty of rollerskating touches, and which sounds great next to the stoner "fire it up" ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
An undeniable acid house classic with enough bouncing 303 bassline and 808 handclaps to keep you moving all night long! One of the essential mid 80s Trax releases. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Original red label pressing. NOTE – Most of the label on Side A is obscured with black marker.)
The classic from Afrika Bamaaataa & The Soul Sonic Force – one of the most revolutionary pieces of formative hip hop history! "Planet Rock" is straight up legendary for a number of reasons. It's one of those early hip hop hits to bring the genre to greater popularity, the deft ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A couple of solo tracks from AG, both featuring added vocals from the Ghetto Dwellas (who appeared on the Show & AG ep from around the same time). The better track here is the b-side, "Mudslide", produced by Lord Finesse. With a little harder sound than we'd normally expect from ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Includes "The Vapors" with Vince Staples, "Bed Peace" with Childish Gambino, "Stay Ready (What A Life)" with Kendrick Lamar, and "WTH" with Ab-Soul. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Our favorite track from the Likwidation LP. Spare beats with a staccato piano line throughout plus the sound of rolling bottles as percussion, with a great appearance by the late great ODB! 12-inch, Vinyl record
An 80s groove classic! This track has a killer sound that mixes bass-heavy funk with a tight electric keyboard sound – and it rips along nicely with a very catchy hook. The cut's one of our all-time favorites from this time, and it's got a hard funky groove that keeps on going! 12-inch, Vinyl record
A very cool early EP from The Animals – the group's second in this format, and never originally issued in the US! The group are at their young, gritty best here – with lots of bluesy currents in the music, thanks to Alan Price on Hammond – topped with soulful vocals from the ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(Limited 2015 RSD issue. Cover has a small round sticker in front.)
It's hard to imagine a more exciting single from the early 80s – as both sides of this one completely changed our way of listening to music, and set the tone for a generation of sounds to come. "Moments In Love" is that breathy slow stepper, presented here in long and short ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
From around the same time as the "What More Can I Say" LP and just about as dope as their hits from that LP, but with more mellow production, and nice use of the "Freddie's Dead" sample. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Forget about the fact that "Top Billin'" is probably one of the top ten hip hop cuts of all time, this 12" features the hard to get Clark Kent remix! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Doobie-doo doobie-doo! One of the catchiest Roy Ayers dancefloor tracks ever – a bassy bumping thumper that wonderfully skirts the line between clubby and funky! The track's got female vocals singing along with the hook – all in a mode that's quite similar to the most uptempo work by ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
After "The Bottle", Joe's big remake of the Gil Scott Heron song in 1975, "Rap-O Clap-O" was probably his second biggest club cut. The track's got a very catchy groove – with sort of a stomping beat that Joe used to cook up his own dance. Arranged by the great Marty ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A groovy little version of The Beach Boys' "Here Comes The Night" – updated to a clubbier style from the original version – with soaring strings, dancefloor rhythms, and a bit of keyboards too! 12-inch, Vinyl record
