Nice stuff! After coming out of the box as a heavier funk outfit in the early 70s, Ripple changed their tune for the disco years – stretching their groove into a warm clubby sound that's stayed classic for years and years! "Beat Goes On & On" is one of their greatest cuts from ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A wonderful Chicago house groover from the Risque rhythm team – one that bubbles along in that mellower, moodier later Chicago groove – with as much emphasis on the keys and bass as on the beats. The softening of the colder edge is really significant – and makes for a perfect ... (House Music, Soul)read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A club crossover classic from The Rolling Stones – a track that surprisingly got the group onto the dancefloor in the late 70s, but which still held onto most of their best elements! Although sometimes panned as a cheap disco cash-in effort by some, the tune is actually pretty darn great ... (Rock, Soul)read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has a stained upper right corner and light ring wear.)
A great little crossover number from Romeo Void – served up here in a dancefloor mix with a bit more on the bottom than the original, but still plenty of those catchy airy guitars and ethereal vocals! The hook's a great one, and although the single's probably more into the 80s rock side of ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
The title track to Diana Ross' classic album with Ashford & Simpson. The single's backed by a track produced by Hal Davis, lifted from the Thank God It's Friday soundtrack. 12-inch, Vinyl record
A nice mid 90s collection of Diana Ross tunes, all done up in house versions by Frankie Knuckles, Satoshi Tomiie, David Morales, E Smoove, Steve Silk Hurley, Maurice Joshua and others. 7 tracks in all: "The Boss", "Love Hangover", "Upside Down", "Soeday We'll Be ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(Limited white vinyl pressing. Cover is bent a bit at the spine and bottom right corner, with a limited edition sticker in back – #04109.)
One of the better tracks off Sade's Lover's Rock, with a mellow vibe that does justice to the title of the LP in the original, and a similarly spacious island inflection on the "Yard mix". Truthfully the more amped up Neptunes mix and the "Reggae mix" don't really do the track ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
One of the best cuts from Sade's first album – a slow chugging groover with a deeply soulful finish! The long version is appreciated here – as we can never get enough of the tune, and don't even mind that it goes on in pretty much the same pace as the regular version. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Two excellent tracks from Sade's Stronger Than Pride album, with Paradise given a rather 80s sounding remix, that still lets the groove of the original shine through. 12-inch, Vinyl record
A long mix of Sade's excellent groover "Paradise" – a warmly bubbling tune that features her great vocals cascading over the top of gently percolating rhythms! There's a definite dancefloor groove here – but one that's still laidback and mellow – maybe not as jazzy as ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record

Here's one extension we can go for! "Sweetest Taboo" is one of Sade's greatest cuts ever – a lightly jazzy number with an infectious hook that sounds great rolling over and over again on this special 12" version! There's not much difference here than the original – but ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(UK pressing. Cover has light wear and a small trace of a price sticker.)
A couple of great remixes of Jill Scott's wonderful "Love Rain" track with Mos Def, one of the best soul hits of recent years! They titles say a lot; the head nod mix is just that, with a pounding bass line and Mos's guest turn cranked up in the mix. The coffee shop mix turns down the ...

One of our favorite 80s club cuts – a track with a quick-stepping bassline on the bottom, some nicely snapping beats, and a lightly sung vocal that almost hits the same DJ-conscious territory as work by Indeep! There's some female chorus vocals behind the guy – which also makes the ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A cool club track from the Caribbean scene – but one that's delivered here with lots of cosmic, electronic touches! The core version of "Let's Get Together" is reworked by Whiskey Barons – and the vocals by Winston Bailey bubble in and out of the pulsating blend of dark ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Great early grooves from Shalamar – recorded at a time when the trio was really grooving at their best! The a-side here – "Take That To The Bank" – an amazingly warm little groove, complete with keyboards that flow nicely next to the rhythms, and these great vocal parts ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Incredible work from singer Remy Shand – a sweet mellow soul number that's one of the best tracks on his all-great debut album! The original version of the kickback tune is offered here – along with Mike Rizzo mixes that pump the track up a bit more for the dancefloor. (Neo Soul, Soul)12-inch, Vinyl record

One of the best Bunny Sigler dancefloor tunes ever – a captivating, floor-storming number with a really propulsive groove! The track jumps along on some sweet Instant Funk backing – with just enough funky guitar riffing and warm keyboard lines to keep things soulful – and even ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A huge 80s jam, one you may have heard on the radio a few too many times, but still a classic Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis number. The long version stretches the beat out nicely, and as a bonus, there's an unlisted acapella too! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Seminal stuff from one of the pivotal soul bands of the past 20 years! This 12" single contains a heck of a lot more of the song than you got on the album, including long mixes, acapella intros, and some very tasty bonus beats, just ripe for mixing! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has light wear, a large index label with BPM at the top right, and is lightly bent at the edges.)
A great single that signalled the return of pure funk to the charts. Jazzie B takes a classic James Brown-esque groove, filters it through some hip hop production, and comes up with this nice track that has a deep deep bottom, and a slow funky groove. Offered up here in a number of different ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A great moment in chart soul – when the legendary Soul II Soul were restoring our faith in modern music again! This US 12" single features 2 Teddy Riley new jack remixes (to pop into the charts), plus the Caron Wheeler 12" version and that Nellee Hooper 7" version. All that ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record

A funky funky bit of wax – one of the first releases on the Luv N Haight label, a long out of print reissue of these two funky sides by the Soul Toronadoes! Both cuts bristle with a JBs type groove – nice and tasty, and even louder on this 12" single than they'd be on a 45! 12-inch, Vinyl record
A fantastic track – grooving along at a rich soulful midtempo pace that owes a heck of a lot to Soul II Soul, but which also is the perfect showcase for Lisa's wonderfully soulful vocals. And sure, it got played to death when it came out – but that's what makes it a classic, and just ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
One of Lisa's greatest cuts, with a sweetly soaring hook that's a perfect example of the catchy grooves she could hit when she wanted to! Remixes by Gail Sky King – and the single is promo only. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Rod Stewart steals from Jorge Ben – and gets the biggest hit of his career with this Brazilian funk-influenced disco tune that crossed over big! The single features a special disco mix by Jim Burgess. 12-inch, Vinyl record
