Ai No Corrida/A&M, 1976/1981. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A genius jazzy number from Quincy Jones – Latinized fusion, produced with a bit of an 80s groove bounce and some really sweet touches on vocals! The tune's got an anthemic feel that made it one of the greatest tunes from The Dude– and proof that the Q was alive and well into the 80s! ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Romark/Kent (UK), 1966. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
A gem of a cut from Ty Karim – one of those singers who should have been huge, especially with a vocal presentation like this! Ty manages to soar on the upbeat groove, but has a special sort of crackle that really sends the lyric home – proud and fragile at the same time, in a way that' ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Kid Creole & The Coconuts —
I'm A Wonderful Thing, Baby/Ze/Island (UK), 1982. Very Good+ (pic cover)... Out Of Stock
The madness of Kid's a bit suppressed in this single, but in its place is some very soulful grooving – which makes it no surprise that "I'm A Wonderful Thing" became one of the group's bigger dancefloor tracks of the early 80s. 7-inch, Vinyl record
Kid Creole & The Coconuts —
Stool Pigeon/Ze/Island (UK), 1982. Very Good+ 2 X 7" (pic cover)... Out Of Stock
One of Kid Creole's greatest – a track that bounces along with a mad bassline, grooving in a campy 20's sort of way, but with this old school beat that really makes the cut kick. Plus a nice remix of In The Jungle and 2 live tracks round out this double 7 inch set. 7-inch, Vinyl record

Sublime soul from Anna King – a James Brown-produced sock-soul diva who predated Marva Whitney and Lyn Collins!

Two killers from 70s keyboard legend Marc Moulin – both very much in the spirit of his work with Placebo!

A sound library tune that really lives up to its title – a De Wolfe library gem that pays tribute to Motown Records, but with a slightly different vibe too! Basil Kirchin's better known for offbeat and moody music – yet here, the tune is certainly a romping groove – but with some ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Hollywood Swinging/De-Lite, 1974. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A killer – one of those must-own tracks that we'd never be without! "Duji" is a totally great cut by Kool & The Gang, jazzy, warm, but still quite funky – with a warm rolling guitar part that's really unique. The cut was sampled famously by Gang Starr for "Jazz ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Spirit Of The Boogie/De-Lite, 1975. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

"Spirit Of The Boogie" is a tasty cut that virtually ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Four Flies (Italy), 2024. New Copy ... $16.99 18.99
A cool cut with many different levels – or maybe "new levels" – a track that's based around a 70s sound library tune by the Modern Sound Quartet, reworked by Koralle, then given a hip hop spin by Illa J! The original version of "Chartreuse" is fantastic – a ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Saba/Wallen Bink (Germany), Late 60s. New Copy (pic cover)... $14.99 24.99
Two wonderfully groovy tracks from vibist Roland Kovac – both lifted from his album Trip To The Mars!

Magic Touch/Numero, Early 80s. New Copy ... $7.99 9.99
The cut builds with a nice snapping groove for quite awhile before the female vocals come into the mix – then really soars with some great interplay between the two singers in a really great way – with a style that often has a slight touch of processing that makes for a spacey edge! ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Doodlin/United Artists, Late 50s. Very Good (pic cover)... Out Of Stock
A rare one from Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross!

"Doodlin" is the ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Topper/Ace (UK), 1966. New Copy ... $11.99 14.99
Two great cuts from 60s female soul singer Tobi Lark! "Challenge My Love" is a mid 60s Detroit groover from the hands of Dave Hamilton – nicely chugging beat underneath, sweet vocals by Tobi, and a bit of a brassy finish on the groove – all making for a nice midtempo dancer ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Great instrumental groovers in the best Toddlin' Town tradition!

Webster Lewis/Mad About Records (Portugal), Late 1970s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
