A&M, 1979. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $4.99
Trumpety genius from Herb Alpert – a cut that gave him one massive hit to close out the 70s, and a tune that crossed over big into clubs, radio, and plenty of shag-carpeted rec rooms too! And hey, it worked for Biggie, right? 12-inch, Vinyl record

Warner, 1979. Very Good ... $2.99
2 soaring cuts off their Stay Free LP, with Ashford & Simpson trading vocals over their patented sophisticated soul, that never loses it's nice dance floor oriented groove on the a-side, while "You Always Could" is one of their richly-produced ballads. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Aural Exciters —
Chinese Rap (voc, inst) ... 12-inch Top Flight, 1982. Very Good ... $7.99
An odd 12" from a group that made a handful of recordings for the Ze label. The track's basically a rip off of Skyy's "Call Me", with some strange ad-libbed "rap" over top, part of which sounds kind of like a Chipmunk's record. Bizarre. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Polydor, 1977. Very Good (pic cover)... $9.99
Doobie-doo doobie-doo! One of the catchiest Roy Ayers dancefloor tracks ever – a bassy bumping thumper that wonderfully skirts the line between clubby and funky! The track's got female vocals singing along with the hook – all in a mode that's quite similar to the most uptempo work by ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Joe Bataan —
Rap-O Clap-O/Salsoul, 1979. Very Good ... $5.99
After "The Bottle", Joe's big remake of the Gil Scott Heron song in 1975, "Rap-O Clap-O" was probably his second biggest club cut. The track's got a very catchy groove – with sort of a stomping beat that Joe used to cook up his own dance. Arranged by the great Marty ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
Ace Beat, 1985. Very Good ... $4.99
GRP, 2000. Near Mint- ... $16.99
Sweet single, featuring one of the best George Benson tunes since the 70s! The cut's a Latinized version of Donny Hathaway's "The Ghetto", pumped up nicely by Masters At Work, and featuring some strong keyboards from Joe Sample! 12-inch, Vinyl record

Mercury, 1979. Very Good+ ... $1.99
The title track to Bohannon's great album of the same name – a complicated rhythm number with a warmly soulful feel! "The Beat (part 2)" has a harder edge on the rhythms – almost a hint at club sounds in the 80s import scene. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Athens Of The North (UK), Early 80s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A sweeeeeet electro groover from Bobby Boyd – one that has splashy beats, percolating drum machine bits, and warm keyboard washes that provide a great contrast to the kind of deeper soul vocals we know from Bobby's earlier work! The main mix is great enough – but the Bob Blank mix ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Strawberry Letter 23/A&M, 1976/1977. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $6.99
Completely sublime! Shuggie Otis first wrote and recorded "Strawberry Letter 23", but it took The Brothers Johnson, and some smooth Quincy Jones production to make it a hit! The track loses none of it's original trippy soul in this version – and if anything, the better vocals ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Mercury, 1981. Very Good ... $9.99
THE standout cut from Central Line – a track so big that it got the group noticed over here on our side of the Atlantic, and forever gave them a place in the hallowed halls of 80s groove! The tune chugs along at a great roller skating rhythm – with some spare use of keyboards that ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Linda Clifford —
Don't Give It Up (special disco mix)/Curtom/RSO (UK), 1979. Near Mint- (pic cover)... Just Sold Out!
We always like it when Linda Clifford talks on a record – and on this one, she starts out the a-side with a great spoken bit that has a real bad sister sort of style! The talking runs for nearly half the record – and the vocals kind of slide right in, all in a very cool way! 12-inch, Vinyl record

Warner, 1978/1994. Near Mint- ... $2.99
One of Bootsy's best tracks from the old days – served up here on a promo 12" single that was issued at the time of the Warner Archives CD release for The Best Of Bootsy. The remix is better than you'd expect, too – and really keeps the original flavor of the song! 12-inch, Vinyl record

Urban (UK), 1988. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $24.99
What can we say? Hip hop samples notwithstanding, Lyn Collins's amazing "Think (About It)" is A-list 70s funk of the first order, and one of the hottest cuts James Brown ever produced – one that we'll never tire of, regardless of its countless appearances on compilations and ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

A rare promo 12" single featuring one of the best Deodato tracks of the late 70s! "Whistle Bump" has a wonderfully spacey fusion groove – and sounds a lot like some of the best Larry Mizell work from the time.

Streetwise, 1984. Very Good+ ... $7.99
One of our favorite tunes from the old school – a beautiful blend of vocoder vocals, sinister keyboards, and some cool splashy beats!

Rampart, 1978. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
A cool chapter in the career of this unique disco band!

Salsoul, 1979. Very Good ... $2.99
One of the less-remembered Salsoul singles from the late 70s – probably for good reason! The record features disco versions of 2 country standards – rolling out with pretty thin lead vocals from Robin Hooker, and falling a bit short of the usual Salsoul groove. 12-inch, Vinyl record

Sound Of New York/Becket, 1982. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Maybe a bit goofy, but now a classic club track that's survived the test of time nicely as just about every DJ's theme song, with a monster scratchy guitar riff, and lots of that rolling bass pedal groove that was so popular in the early 80s. 12-inch, Vinyl record
