A tasty 80s pop soul number from the Mary Jane Girls, produced by Rick James, and showcasing his ever-growing command of the mainstream soul market at the time! This longer single version offers a fair bit more than the chart version of the cut – not only a much more extended take on the ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
"She's Got The Papers" is a much later entry in the Shirley Brown/Barbara Mason song cycle started way back at the beginning of the 70s – that tug-of-war about a shared man and all the things bought and bills paid – hence the title! Barbara may not have the papers on all the ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A killer bit of jazz funk from the great James Mason! The cut's an old one – but has never been properly issued before, save for a brief appearance on a 12" single in 1996. "I Want Your Love" is our favorite here – over 11 minutes long, and it begins with this cool ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(Promo in a stickered sleeve, with wear and aging, bent corners, unglued top seam, BPM in marker, and duct tape holding the spine. Label on one side has BPM and some squiggles in marker.)
Another smoooooth NuSoul number from Maxwell, off the Embrya album, with his typical odd names for the mixes, which are all largely the same, sort of like different dubs of the album take. (Neo Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Promo in a stickered sleeve. Label has a light sticker spot.)
The stepper's mid 90's retro-classic that helped establish this "new classic soul" movement, served up here in 5 mixes, including the super-chilled "Mellosmoothe". One of the best tracks off the Urban Hang Suite LP – spare funky soul, with lots of warm classic touches, a ... (Neo Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
The LP and midnight mixes have that commercial friendly eazy jazz sound. The gangsta mix (not 'gangsta' at all) is completely different, and ends up sounding like something from the days when Lyte was dope. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Extended version of the track from Lyte's second LP. With a similar subject to "Cram to Understand", but the production style leans a little bit toward new jack swing and has singing on the chorus. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
If you want to appreciate BDP's "South Bronx", you've gotta hear this one. If ya don't know... MC Shan recorded "The Bridge", saying hip hop started in Queensbridge, Queens. BDP replied with "South Bronx", setting the record straight (as we see it). "South ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Another nice mid-80's Profile MC that somehow never put out a full length LP. It really is a shame. Probably our favorite use of the James Brown "Talkin Loud" sample. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Sweet lost electro EP on Sunnyview with lots of great synth bass and ping ponging drum machine. The cover says "Fresh Beats Without Rap Bass Your Car Streets and Party Fresh Beats", which we take as a Burroughs style cut up of what you can expect from this slice of hot DJ wax! 4 cuts: ...

(Cover has a cut corner, some aging, and light ring impressions.)
One of the greatest moments of late Philly – and a dancefloor stormer that never lets us down! The cut's served up here in a stunning 10 minute version – with grooves that go on and on and on, driving the anthemic message of the cut over the top. "I Got The Love" isn't ...

The single's a stunning house remix of the tune "Higher", lifted from Monday's Optimista album, and redone here as a monster dancefloor track with a bucketfull of soul! Joe Clausell handled the mixes, and he brings out the best side of Monday's songwriting – and blends some warm ... (Neo Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A sweet sweet set of rare tracks from start of the 80s – all recorded in the far-out locale of Rock Island, IL – but done with a funky groove to rival the best sounds coming out of New York or Minneapolis at the time! Midnight Express were a regional show band, and they've got a bass-he ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Two mellow groove sample cuts, put back to back as part of this great 12" series of hard to find tracks. "Evil Vibrations" is the stone jam sampled by De La Soul for "Rollerskating Jam Named Saturdays", and "Mellow Mellow" has been used by more than one artist ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A legendary sample cut from back in the day – presented here in three really great versions! The shorter original take is already plenty great – a gem that starts with this jazzy riffing that's continued by keyboards all the way through – while rising vocals soar to the skies ...

The tune is a tasty one indeed – an early 80s number that chugs along with a quick-stepping rhythm – nice and spare, and with some spacey keyboard touches behind the vocals! The cut's very much like the sort that was reissued a few years back on the Soul-Cal label – somewhere ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
No mixed feelings from us, this an excellent mid 70s soul tune – magical stuff from mid 70s South Carolina combo Mixed Feelings! "Sha La La" is a wonderful tune with a vamping guitar groove mirrored by some really sweet keys, and tight drum work for instrumentation – but the ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
