Garland GreenLet The Good Times Roll/You And I Go Good Together ... 7-inch
Spring, 1974. Very Good+ ... $3.99
Garland Green's great remake of this classic! He sings it with a nice deep Chicago soul style, augmented by some of the slightly modern/southern style production of the Spring label. "You & I Go Good" is even better, though – a sweetly stepping number that follows in the spirit of Garland's Uni classics – crackling vocals sounding wonderful on the top, while an undeniable groove bubbles in the back! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Spring sleeve with light pencil. Labels have some pen.)

✨✧ PrinceSign O The Times/La La La Hee Hee Hee ... 7-inch
Paisley Park, 1987. Very Good+ (pic cover)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Sure, the politics seem a bit silly now – but the track's still one of Prince's last really compelling hits. It's got a totally infectious hook, a spare Timmy Thomas-ish beat, and a strangely captivating vocal that really sticks with us. 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Sleeve has some wear & aging, wrinkled corners.)

✨✧ CameoFunk Funk/Good Times ... 7-inch
Chocolate City, 1975. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Excellent early work from Cameo, with a sublime approach they'd lose once they hit the big time – tightly funking, but not too fast, though still accessible! 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ ChicGood Times/Warm Summer Night ... 7-inch
Atlantic, 1979. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the blueprints of hip hop! At the time, Chic's "Good Times" just seemed like a wickedly funky pop tune – but who knew that that bass and guitar groove would inspire a whole generation of hip hoppers, bouncing along in a groove that was at once at home on the roller rink or the wheels of steel! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Label has a date in pen.)

✨✧ Kool & The GangGood Times/Frog ... 7-inch
De-Lite, 1972. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
As classic as classic Kool & The Gang can get! "Good Times" is a nice raw party number – hard Gang-styled funky instrumentation in the background, and some great lyrics sung by different members of the group, almost in freestyle format! "The Frog" is even greater – a snapping little funky number that starts with fast drums, then fills in a bit of moog, making a cool electric bubbling instrumental sound that really sends us! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Labels have light wear.)

✨✧ Curtis MayfieldSo In Love/Hard Times ... 7-inch
Curtom, 1975. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Nice stuff – and not as well known as Curtis' earlier work! "So In Love" is a great little love track – taken at a slow, slightly-funky pace, with some tight arrangements, and hard horns backing up Curtis' sweet raspy vocals! Even better is "Hard Times", a spare funky number with a great intro – chugging along with fuzzed guitar over the top, which then leads into super-dope vocals from Curtis! The cut's the same one that was done by Baby Huey – and it's just as funky, but in a totally different way! 7-inch, Vinyl record

✨✧ Piero UmilianiIl Corpo – Chaser/Hard Times ... 7-inch
Liuto/Four Flies (Italy), 1974. New Copy (pic cover)... Out Of Stock
Two killer cuts from this rare 70s Italian soundtrack – both of them great! "Chaser" has this way of glowing while grooving – keyboards soaring out over drums, then spacing out a bit, then coming back warm with the groove, which also includes some percussion! "Hard Times" is a bit faster and funkier, but has a very similar vibe – that understated version of funk that made Umiliani's work such a great change from American soundtracks of the time! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Brian Bennett & Alan Hawkshaw/Dave RichmondName Of The Game/Confunktion ... 7-inch
KPM/Measured Mile (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy ... $11.99 14.99
Two rare KPM sound library grooves – back to back on a single piece of wax! "Name Of The Game" is fantastic – slow funk, but super-heavy – with measured drums that space things out as keyboards really take their time to build up the mood, before serving up a mighty sweet solo in the middle! The drums break nicely by their own at one point too – and "Confunktion" has a similar slow funk start, then really builds with frenetic energy on the drums – almost a proggish take on funk at times! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Harry RayRide Your Pony Girl (double sided) ... 7-inch
All Platinum, 1974. Very Good+ ... $29.99
A killer bit of New Jersey soul from the 70s – and one of our favorite Moments tracks ever! Harry Ray steps out as the lead of the group on this one – but is still supported by some great Moments harmonies at times. But the real appeal of the track is the amazing arrangement – which starts out with echoey piano over a funky beat – then keeps this snapping Sylvia-like groove that runs throughout! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(White label pressing. Vinyl has a tiny drill hole.)
