Funky Four Corners/Soul Lover

7-inch (Item 40644) Boo Ga Loo, Late 60s — Condition: Very Good+
One of the best versions of "Funky Four Corners" we've ever heard! The bass is rattling along at a level so loud and heavy that it's bound to pop the top off your speaker – while Jerry screams and shouts his way through the lyrics in a way that would make James Brown proud, a fact that he even acknowledges when he shouts "Sorry JB!" at one point in the cut! "Soul Lover" is fantastic too – a funky answer song to "Tramp", with a similar hard sock beat, and a hard break at the intro, which is augmented here by conga work! Both cuts are great – and one of the best singles ever by Jerry O!  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

ABC, 1968. Very Good+
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

Cash McCall

SOS/I'm In Danger
Checker, 1967. Very Good+
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 ... 7-inch, Vinyl record
