A delightful little jukebox EP from one of Sinatra's greatest records ever – pure genius all the way through! Frank's backed here by the orchestra of Count Basie, with some incredible arrangements by Quincy Jones that really have a jazzy, syncopated kick to them. The move seems to be an ...

A bona-fide club classic – and the standout classic of the South Shore Commission! The tune's got a stepping soulful approach that's early Philly club at its best – the early days of disco, when there was still plenty of soul in the mix! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Groovy Chicago soul group single! "Exterminator" is a sort of Temps-ish track about bugs – kind of a political number about the vermin in the ghetto! "What More" is even better – a fantastic group harmony track with a deep feeling, sweet vocals, and great ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A fully and funky spider from the De Wolfe sound library of the 70s – one that's got all sorts of heavy horns and tight drums, and packs a punch that would be sure to tear open a spiderweb in seconds! That same approach is used on the flipside – a hot-moving cut that's definitely not a ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
(NOTE – vinyl is pressed off center and plays with a light side to side on the tonearm.)
A great little track – one that's best known as something of a Miami soul hit, thanks to versions by KC & The Sunshine Band and George McCrae. This version's equally great – but done quite differently, as an east coast type club track – lots of strings soaring over the groove ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
2 nice bits from Joe Tex, the a-side with a nice raw funk sound featuring some gritty funky drums, and the b with more of his trademark southern soul. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
2 great ones from Dee Dee – recorded with Dave Crawford during her Atlantic years, in a style that's got its roots in late 60s southern soul, but which is also pointing the way towards a hipper future for female singers! Both sides really strong – with good hooks, and excellent vocals ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A couple of smooth numbers by this fatastic harmony group who only ever issued a couple singles on the MGM subsidiary Lion. Both numbers hit a righteous sweet soul harmony groove over some great soaring production touches! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
2 great tunes from Johnny Williams – an obscure Tyrone Davis-like singer who recorded briefly for Gamble & Huff at the beginning of the 70s, but never cut a full LP. Johnny's got a great voice – a bit rough, but matched here with smooth arrangements, in a style that's almost a 70s ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
