Ty HunterLonely Baby/Gladness To Sadness ... 7-inch
Chess, 1962. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A fantastic lost harmony cut on Chess! "Lonely Baby" has a post doo wop sound that's wonderful – with Ty's vocal out in the lead on a sad lyric, while tenor blows in the background, and a group comes in on the chorus to punch things up a bit. "Gladness" has a great sound ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Early funky work from Curtis! "Check Out" is one of Curtis' first really tripped-out cuts – with the kind of rolling feel that he'd later bring to his famous solo work on Curtom. The flip's a nice mellow ballad, of the type that the Impressions always made rule! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Goofy, silly – but one that we still dig after all these years! The track has a monster scratchy guitar riff, and lots of that rolling bass pedal groove that was so popular in the early 80s.

A nice disco-ish number off the Jacksons' Destiny LP, and though it's not really a skating jam, we do recall this one getting played at the roller rink quite a bit, and this version of the track has a nice breakdown in the middle too. The b-side's a nice midtempo groover. 7-inch, Vinyl record

Rainy Wednesday, Early 70s. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Insane bit of nuttiness from the years when Dickie Goodman was doing all of his fake "interview" records that used cut ups from pop songs as answers to the questions from the interviewer. This one's got a huge batch of 70's soul samples as replies to questions from a reporter about the ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Jay JohnsonOoh Baby (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch
Brunswick, 1973. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Not to be confused with JJ Johnson, Jay Johnson is a deep voiced singer who kicks off this track with a Barry White-styled monologue – seducing a female lover with his words as strings build up behind him, never actually singing, but talking his way through the whole track – leaving ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Early brilliance from Burt Bacharach – 2 early soul productions for singer Lou Johnson!

Twinight, Late 60s. Good ... Out Of Stock
Beautiful original single of Syl's classic track about racial disenfranchisement. The track's filled with deep deep Chicago soul, and it's a stunning set of haunting guitar-based arrangements that are beyond compare! The flip's a nice original, also written by Syl. 7-inch, Vinyl record
