Cash McCall —
SOS/Checker, 1967. Very Good+ ... $19.99
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 more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Piscean Group —
Finger It Out/R2 (UK), 2024. New Copy ... $18.99 19.99
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 more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Fat Night —
Things You Do (voc, inst) ... 7-inch Colemine, 2013. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A wicked slow funk number from Fat Night – haunting, moody, and very very compelling!

Takumi Moriya Black Nation —
Shakey Jake/Jazz Room (UK), 2024. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A totally great take on the Joe McPhee funky classic "Shakey Jake" – done in a way that's tighter and even more compact than the original – but with some fantastic horn work throughout! There's lots of riffing guitar next to organ over fast-romping drums – and the tenor ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Sun Goddess/Jazz Room (UK), 2024. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99
Two 70s funky jazz classics – nicely remade and back to back!

"Miste ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
