Sonor (Italy), 1980. New Copy (pic cover)... $25.99 29.99
A super-rare sound library gem from the Italian scene – a wonderful tune that's got this midtempo bassline that steps along in a very groovy way – easygoing, but funky too – as harp, strings, and some mighty nice flute come into the mix to warm things up!

Ace/Kent (UK), Early 1970s. New Copy ... $11.99 14.99
The a-side's a great Stax Records groove from the excellent Soul Children – a track that mixes their wonderful male/female harmonies with warm electric piano lines, and a midtempo groove that really lets the vocal solos soar!

Star-TelsExterminator Man/What More Can I Ask For ... 7-inch
Lamarr, 1970. Very Good+ ... $23.99
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 ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Connie StevensTic Toc/Keep Growing Strong ... 7-inch
Bell/Measured Mile (UK), 1970. New Copy ... $11.99 14.99
Connie Stevens is best known for pop work early in the 60s – but here, she sounds wonderfully soulful – grooving strongly over the gliding charms of the cool back/forth rhythms of "Tic Toc"! The tune's got strings over a romping groove – one that's maybe more late 60s ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Chess, 1966. Near Mint- ... $9.99
One of the most incredible pop tracks of the 60s! Billy Stewart's reading of "Summertime" sounds nothing like you've ever heard! The cut has these rolling popping vocals, and a triple-time groove that turns the cut into a dark stormer filled with raw energy. The flipside is very nice, ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Sweet MusicI Get Lifted (vocal, inst) ... 7-inch
Wand, 1976. Near Mint- ... $5.99
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 ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Flying Dutchman/BGP (UK), Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99 14.99
Two totally fantastic versions of this spiritual jazz standard – a version recorded by Leon Thomas that's shorter and different than his famous vocal performance of the tune with Pharoah Sanders – and a stunning second take from Louis Armstrong, with backings from Oliver Nelson – ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ Thunderfunk SymphonySky Blue/Hard Times ... 7-inch
Innovation 2, Late 70s. Near Mint- ... $11.99
An obscure one from this Chicago group – not nearly as thundering as their name might imply, but still pretty decent overall. "Hard Times" is kind of a rock funk number, with some weirdly flanged guitars that pep things up a bit – but the best cut is "Sky Blue", a ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Toddlin Town, 1969. Very Good+ ... $16.99
Two nice funky instrumentals by the studio band for this obscure Chicago funk label! "It's Your Thing" is the famous Isleys track, and itgrooves as nicely as any cover of the track. "The Dud" has some nice weird instrumental moments, with horns chugging over equally chugging ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Chicago's Tomorrow's People take on their classic anthem "Open Soul" – a 70s funky number with a great lyrical query into the nature of soul – served up here with a T-Groove edit that makes the tune funkier than ever! "It Ain't Fair" is fantastic, but in a very ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Romark/Ace (UK), Late 1960s. New Copy ... $11.99 15.99
Great 60s soul from the Cali scene – two cuts you'd be hard-pressed to find on vinyl anywhere else! "Wear Your Natural" is a hip little number that really lives up to the promise of its title – kind of a slow-building soul cut with plenty of righteous power – Towana's ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Rare self-made synth grooves from TRASE – which stands for Tape Recorder And Synthesiser Ensemble – 2 versions of this obscure, should-be electro rock classic from the early 80s!

Piero UmilianiBlue Nude/Life Goes On ... 7-inch
Easy Tempo (Italy), 1978. New Copy (pic cover)... $14.99 18.99
Nothing too blue about this nude – as the tune's a sexy little romp, and one that nicely mixes up acoustic guitar, floating violin, and romping rhythms – all set to some cool offbeat lyrics! The tune's an overlooked funky soundtrack cut from Piero Umiliani – and it's backed here ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Easy Tempo (Italy), 1980. New Copy (pic cover)... $14.99 18.99
The news is pretty darn jazzy here – thanks to a quick-stepping bassline, cool marimba, and snapping snare – all of which give "News" a very groovy jazz soundtrack feel – like something lifted off an obscure soundtrack from the early 60s! But halfway through, some cool ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
