Another in the Supperrappin series – the first solo single from Phife of A Tribe Called Quest with two tracks produced by Jay-Dee. Phife's verses and the production on "Bend Ova" are a little harder than his material with ATCQ. But on "Thought U Wuz Nice" the production ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A killer groove – and a legendary jazzy single from the Chicago scene! The cut was licensed from Disco Magic in Italy, and it's presented here in the US Hillbilly House pressing, which includes the monster "piano groove" mix, the kind of jazzy instrumental that's pure Chicago ...

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
An essential bit of funky breaks! This long out of print 12" single features 4 of the funkiest tracks by drummer Roy Porter – lifted off of his rare mid 70s LPs, and reissued briefly on this single by Luv N Haight back when the label was just starting off. The tracks have some monster ... (Jazz) read more12-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
(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
Wu Tang lyrical swordsman Raekwon teams with Brooklyn's finest modern funk groovers El Michels Affair on the "PJs (From Afar)" – a live in the studio re-imagining on the Pete Rock/Raekwon/Masta Killa track "PJs" – plus a handful of cinematic soul styled instrumentals! ...

"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.)
