One of those obscure split 12" singles from the early days – when labels clearly thought nobody would pay full price for a large single that only included one band! This one features a tight extended funk cut from Poison – a fast jamming number with some funky keyboards, a bit of ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Like the other PRT classics, "Shakiyla" features the always dope combination of rhymes from Wise Intelligent and production from Tony D. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
A soaring modern soul tune from The Pretenders – not the famous Ohio Rock group, but an obscure soul act who do a wonderful job of harmonizing along with the groove! "Just Be Yourself" is an uptempo message cut that's totally great – in the more righteous side of the disco ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
One of the most standout tracks on the Sign O The Times double LP – a tune that has the same catchy crossover vibe as Prince's material from the Purple Rain years – with a monster hook that really keeps the whole thing going! The core tune here is presented next to a whopping three ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
One of our favorite tracks ever from Prince – an instantly funky, instantly catchy tune that never fails to blow us away with its dexterity! The jam sounds great, even after all these years – and it's backed by a non-LP cut, "Another Lonely Christmas" – in which Prince ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A fantastic setting for "If I Was Your Girlfriend" – a wonderfully nasty slow funk number from Prince – backed here by the even-better "Shockadelica" – a fuzzy, raspy number that wasn't issued on any full length album at the time! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(German pressing. Cover has light wear, a few small peel spots and a lightly bent corner.)
Classic! Although folks had been saying for years that Prince was funky, "Kiss" was the first tune to really have him going to town on the instruments – in a way that we always expect from a true funk act, but not so much for the pop charts – reason alone to adore this one! ...

A sweet sweet classic from Prince – a tune that was hailed as a move to psychedelic modes at the time, but which was really just a way for the singer to open up a whole new side of his talents! "Raspberry Beret" is wonderfully catchy – but it's also got a groove that's maybe ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has peeled spots down the right side in front.)
Sure, the politics seem a bit silly now – but the track's still one of Prince's last really compelling hits. It's got a totally infectious hook, a spare Timmy Thomas-ish beat, and a strangely captivating vocal that really sticks with us! The flip's a bit silly – a 10 minute extended ...

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

One of the coolest spacey club tracks of the 70s gets a superb remix here in the hands of Dimitri From Paris – all done at a level that still keeps all the great charms of the original!

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 ...
