Two 70s funky jazz classics – nicely remade and back to back! "Sun Goddess" has a very cool take on the riffing intro used in the Ramsey Lewis original – followed by keyboards that are a lot moogier overall, and which make for a soulful spacey solo over the beats! "Miste ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A wicked slow funk number from Fat Night – haunting, moody, and very very compelling! There's a slightly trippy feel to the track – maybe from the heavy echo used on the vocals – but the core groove of stepping guitar and drums almost takes us back to the best mellow harmony cuts ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Dizzy and strings – a surprisingly great combination! Although it was Charlie Parker who first made famous the modernist "jazz with strings" approach, Dizzy does wonderfully here in the format – working in similar fashion with edgey backing from the "Operatic String ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
(Sleeve has split seams, a name in pen, and light surface wear.)
A funky holy grail – one of the rarest of the rare, and the only album ever cut by funky guitarist Carl "Sherlock" Holmes! Carl's work on the guitar is incredible – fast riffing and jazzy, with a style that's dirtier and messier than some of his 70s jazz funk contemporaries, ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A crowning moment of the Chicago soul scene of the 60s! Nobody was better than Walter Jackson at Iceman soul – and no cut of his carried this off better than the sublime "It's All Over" – one of those incredible tunes that we never tire of hearing! "Lee Cross" is ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Prime selections from one of the greatest soundtracks of the blacksploitation era – served up with some incredible grooves from maestro JJ Johnson! Martha Reeves sings some of the deepest vocals of her career on the great title track "Willie D" – an old sample cut that you're ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Great stuff from one of the 70s' best vocal groups! "Seems Like" is stone mellow east coast harmony soul, with a sweet ballad style. "Town Called Nowhere" is even better, and has a nice choppy guitar, and a good midtempo groove. Very nice! 7-inch, Vinyl record
Very dangerous! Cash is in trouble on both sides – and both cuts were arranged and produced by Monk Higgins! "SOS" is mellow and sad, and really shows Cash's strong talent for a bluesy ballad. "I'm In Danger" is a stormin uptempo number, with a good Chicago northern ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Stellar work from this lost Chicago soul group! The Marvelows were one of the city's best-ever harmony groups in the 60s, and this single has them working under the great Johnny Pate – who gives the tracks a sweetly polished sound that still remains nice and soulful! 7-inch, Vinyl record
A never-issued performance of this classic tune from the Thelonious Monk songbook – recorded for Danish Radio in 1963, and played by the legendary quartet that featured Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, John Ore on bass, and Frankie Dunlop on drums! The quality is right up there with some of the ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Two funky cuts from this excellent group – both produced by Osunlade! "Finger It Out" has a snapping drum topped by riffing guitar – then really great horns come into the mix, just peppering the groove but in a mighty nice way! "Kushti" has a rhythm that's much ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Two of the slinkiest cuts we've ever heard from Alex Puddu – but maybe that's no surprise, as both were recorded at Sexy Lady studios! "Pullover Grigio" has a slow-stepping groove and keyboards with an almost AOR vibe – but leaner overall, and nicely laidback with cool ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Never-issued work from the Sun Ra Arkestra – and two tracks that really show just how much the initial wave of their sound tied together with other strands of postwar music! Both cuts here feature vocals from singer Ricky Murray – and as you can tell from the titles, there's a slightly ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A totally great slice of 70s work from Pharoah Sanders – a rare Japanese single that offers radio edits of two tracks from his sublime project for India Navigation! "Harvest Time" is wonderful – this hypnotic bassline, watery light guitar lines, and a raspy, soulful tenor ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
