Two killer cuts from the late 60s Latin soul years at Columbia Records – both great!

From the transitional period when Chuck and co. were moving from the harder funk style of their Sussex days to the Go Go sound they'd help pioneer in DC, with a style that combines both, with a bottom heavy groove, wiry guitar, horn stabs and percolating percussion. 7-inch, Vinyl record

A great little soul number from James! "Don't Be A Drop Out" begins with these riffing horns, going high then dropping low, almost in a "Monkey Time" mode.

One of James' best funky cuts from the early 70s – a monster hard-hitting track with all the intensity of the best JBs sides from the same time, and one that begins with James shouting the legendary lines "Que pasa people?

An early one from James – with a raw R&B groove on both tracks, and shouted vocals that strike right at the core of the songs! "Crazy" has kind of a "Night Train" beat to it – and "Lost Someone" is slower, with a bluesy slow vamp kind of approach that ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Excellent funk from the JBs! The single – featuring parts 3 and 4 of the track – is a perfect example of the "party" style that James would use in the studio.

An interesting single from James – featuring his super-huge hit of the mid 60s, but issued on a late 60s King label! The tune's a stone winner as always – and the flip is "mostly instrumental", with a vamp that virtually invented the funky vamp! 7-inch, Vinyl record

DeLuxe, 1949. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Legendary jumpin' blues/pioneering R&B by Roy Brown & His Mighty Men! Roy Brown is one of the more underappreciated trailblazers of the late 40s/early 50s, and all you need to do is to drop the needle on "Butcher Pete" to hear for yourself how much more his acclaim his legacy ... read more 78 RPM, Vinyl record

✨✧ Brown Brothers Of SoulCholo/Poquito Soul ... 7-inch
Specialty, 1971. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
2 excellent funky instrumentals – both of Chicano origin, if we figure right from the title! "Cholo" is a slow funky tune with searing sax and organ over the top – conga beats sneaking in from time to time, but most of the groove laid down by bass. There's a bit of mad ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Jazz Room (UK), 2024. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99
Two 70s funky jazz classics – nicely remade and back to back! "Sun Goddess" has a very cool take on the riffing intro used in the Ramsey Lewis original – followed by keyboards that are a lot moogier overall, and which make for a soulful spacey solo over the beats! "Miste ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ Ray Bryant/Jan BradleyMadison Time/Mama Didn't Lie ... 7-inch
MCA, Early 60s. Near Mint- (pic cover)... Out Of Stock
Although this single's actually from the movie Hairspray, it's a killer 2-in-1 of early 60s Chicago soul hits! Ray Bryant's "Madison Time" is incredible – and it's got a sinister walking piano line, backed with "calls" by Eddie Morrison that turn the cut into a fantastic ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

P Willie BuckHow Can I Be Nice To You/Disco Blues ... 7-inch
IRC, Mid 70s. Near Mint- ... $24.99
A nice little single – despite the name! The a-side is a sleepy blues number, but the flip – "Disco Blues" – is a great groover. The cut begins with a bouncy bass and choppy guitar, all rolling together in a nice funky way while Willie sings and plays harmonica in a ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Toddlin Town, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Nice bit of Chicago funk, recorded during the big years of the "Here Come The Judge" routine – but in a bag all of it's own! Andre Williams wrote the cut, and it's got a great chugging funk groove with a vocal that features a crook pleading with the Funky Judge! The flip's an ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

MGM, 1970. Near Mint- (pic cover)... Out Of Stock
Two excellent funky cuts from Eric Burdon and War! You probably know "Spill The Wine" – the Latin-tinged tune that made all them a lot of money, and which still sounds surprisingly great today – but "Magic Mountain" is also another winner, with a heavy funky beat at ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Memphis, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A great one from this lost Chicago group! "I Don't Want To Loose You" is an excellent harmony soul cut – with deep harmonies that descend nicely on the chorus, and send a real chill down our spine! "Free Yourself" is a rolling heavy soul number, with a political message, ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

King, 1967. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Really early work from Bobby Byrd – a single that's produced by James Brown, but without the funky touches of later years! "I Found Out" has stepping strings next to Bobby's deep soul vocals – and "I'll Keep Pressing On" is similar – again with strings, but ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Some of Bobby Byrd's best work ever! "If You Don't Work" is a hard funky killer – done in a tight James Brown way, with lots of choppy guitar, and Bobby's vocals coming off at breakneck speed, just to keep up with the band. Nice simple message, too! "You've Got To Change ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Massively jazzy soul from Donald Byrd – two "love" tunes from the early 80s!

Alaga, 1973. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Two excellent early cuts by Roy C! They both have great songwriting, and a mellow southern-styled vocal that's very nice. In the tradition of his work for Mercury, but much rawer, and nicer. 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ CalenderHypertension (parts 1 & 2) (Pi Kappa) ... 7-inch
Pi Kappa, 1975. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A two part groover from this obscure east coast club combo – slowly building with some nice synth at the beginning, but acoustic beats underneath, and almost more of a funk track than a disco one, given the pace and the soulful feel overall. 7-inch, Vinyl record
