Kent/
Maybe one of the funkiest vocal numbers ever sung by Johnny Adams – and one that owes a lot to the super-funky backings of the Huck Daniels Co – who somehow manage to combine the tightness of the James Brown Band of the late 60s with the more sophisticated instrumention of the JBs in the early 70s! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Laura Lee —
Wanted: Lover, No Experience Necessary/Chess, 1967. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!
Great early work from Laura Lee – recorded in Muscle Shoals before her later work with Hot Wax! "Wanted" is a great little groover – a light bit of funk in the rhythm, and a jumping groove that pushes Laura's vocals over the top, singing a very catchy lyric in the "want ad" mode! "Up Tight Good Man" is her great version of the Penn/
(Labels have light ring wear.)

Josie, 1969. Very Good+ ... $19.99 23.99
Killer funk from one of the best-ever bands of the genre! "Cissy Strut" has some killer stone cold choppy guitars, with a sound that was imitated often, but never matched! "Here Comes" is a rolling organ-driven groove – bubbling along at a chunky funky pace! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Label has faint ring wear.)

Wand, 1975. Near Mint- ... $3.99 5.99
A bona-fide club classic – and the standout classic of the South Shore Commission! The tune's got a stepping soulful approach that's early Philly club at its best – the early days of disco, when there was still plenty of soul in the mix! 7-inch, Vinyl record
13
Stax, 1974. Very Good- ... $0.99
... 7-inch, Vinyl record
(4:10 ersion of "My Main Man".)
14
Lamarr, 1970. Very Good+ ... $19.99 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 production by Burgess Gardner. It's a wonderful late-nite cut – and it's "Bunky's Pick" too! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Labels have initials in pen, faint ring wear.)

James Brown —
Let A Man Come In & Do The Popcorn/King, Late 60s. Good ... Out Of Stock
Killer funky work from James! "Let A Man Come In" is a stone-cold funky number – with great raw popping grooves, very much in the Popcorn vein! Hard to find on vinyl in any form – and sounds great on the hot funky 45 mix! "Sometime" is nice, too – with a deep soul sound that's mellower than the a-side, but still very nice. 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Labels have heavy ring wear, name in marker.)

Ernie K Doe —
Dancin' Man/Duke, 1967. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Obscure work from Ernie K Doe – and pretty darn nice too! "Dancin Man" is an uptempo cut that lives up to its name – one that has Ernie hitting an almost sock-boogaloo soul style, but which still has a bit more jagged New Orleans feel. "Later For Tomorrow" is even better – although a very different track that features slow, drawn-out bluesy vocals that are totally great! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Inner Drive —
Party Man/Zodiac, 1973. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
"Smell The Funk" is a great track – one that begins with a voice saying "ooooooo-wee!", then hits a tight, hard hard hard funky vamp! The track's got some lyrics, but it's really dominated by tight drums, guitar, and the vamping group! "Party Man" is mellower, but has some really cool moogy bits at the beginning, making for a nice space funk approach! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(White label pressing.)

Marvin Gaye —
Trouble Man/Tamla, 1974. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Superdope live work from Marvin, taken from the Marvin Gaye Live LP! "Trouble Man" has got to be one of the coolest vocals that Marvin cut on wax in the 70s – and "Distant Lover" hardly needs any introduction from us, a wonderful piece of sultry soul filled out with the rich approach to arrangement that made Marvin's work standout throughout the 70s. 7-inch, Vinyl record

Marvin Gaye —
You're The Man (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch Tamla, 1972. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A super-dope song from Marvin Gaye – and one that wasn't originally issued on LP! The track is a very righteous, very political tune – sounding almost more like Curtis Mayfield than Marvin, and with a heavy funky approach to the groove that takes the cut way past its politics! Really a great number – and a must-have 45! 7-inch, Vinyl record
41
Notations —
Since You've Been Gone/Gemigo, 1976. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Two great mellow sweet soul tracks by this excellent Chicago male vocal quartet! The sound is pure Chicago soul – with arrangements by Rich Tufo, very much in the Curtom vocal group mode! "Since You've Been Gone" is a great midtempo number, with some nice electric sitar, warm hooks, and kind of a Spinners-esque "Mighty Love" sort of sound! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Flying Dutchman/
One of the funkiest cuts ever from reedman Harold Alexander – served up here in the 45rpm single version, which is short, tight, and really concentrates on the funky drums at the core – although still also topped with plenty of fierce funky flute from the man himself! Speaking of funky drums, Pretty Purdie is on the flipside with "Heavy Soul Slinger" – a cut that definitely earns its name, as the funky drums mix with great conga, massive bass, and this warm organ line that really sends the whole thing home! 7-inch, Vinyl record
43
Fontella Bass —
Recovery/Checker, 1965. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!
2 early soul sides by the woman who later went on to marry Lester Bowie, and sing jazz vocals with the Art Ensemble Of Chicago. Both tracks have Fontella's raw hard soul sound firmly in place, with the kind of groove that was stolen from her to bigger fame by Aretha Franklin. 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Blue label pressing. A-side label has light wear.)
