EMI/Dig This Way (Italy), 1984. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
The cover looks a bit cheesy – like some sort of Star Search graphic – but the album's a rock-solid gem from the second decade of Nigerian funk – recorded in Lagos with a great boogie vibe, and a groove that's as heavy on keyboards as it is on riffing guitar and percussion!

As with any soul artist of her era, Barbara Acklin recorded most of her best work on 7" singles.

A number of these cuts ... read more CD

Spring, 1974. Sealed ... Just Sold Out!
An obscure soul group, but a great one – equally at home with a fragile harmony tune as they were with more uptempo groovers for the dancefloor!

Mainstream, 1973. Near Mint- ... $39.99
A killer album of Afro Funk – with a very unusual origin!

This album is a good example of that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A great post-disco track from the Aleem brothers, with a some very 80s production with heavy Linn drums and electro touches, and some nice soulful vocals courtesy Leroy Burgess, which are a bit buried too in the mix for our tastes. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Atlantic, 1987. Very Good ... $2.99
The great Leroy Burgess is still going strong on this later album from Aleem – shifting his sound to hit more of an 80s street soul groove, but one that's also got the tighter elements you'd expect from a major label set at the time!

A sweet second set from 80s singer Carl Anderson – a date that's got poise, class, and a heck of a lot of soul!
