Warner, 1987. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $2.99
A great little cut from Sherrick – an overlooked Warner soul singer of the mid 80s! "Just Call" is an incredibly catchy number – one that's free from most mainstream soul cliches of the time – and which has a sly little glide over lightly dancing beats and keys. ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Zoo York, 1981. Very Good- ... $2.99
A fantastic mellow groover from Lowrell! The cut's got a bit of a Barry White approach – but with a groove that's stripped down more, and which slinks along a bassline and guitar riff that really sparkle nicely. The whole thing's super-tasty – and it's one of the best indie soul ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Virgin, 1989. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $4.99
Sort your life out! Sure, it's a shameless follow-up to "Back To Life", but the track's still the best one from their second album – and the 12" mixes here all have that great chugging funky Soul II Soul groove! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has some waviness.)
Virgin, 1989. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $6.99
A great moment in chart soul – when the legendary Soul II Soul were restoring our faith in modern music again! This US 12" single features 2 Teddy Riley new jack remixes (to pop into the charts), plus the Caron Wheeler 12" version and that Nellee Hooper 7" version. All that ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
Sleeping Bag, 1983. Very Good ... $1.99
Kind of an oddball rap single from the early days of Sleeping Bag. The rhymes are fine, nothing to write home about, but not insulting to our ears, but the track is a nice almost electro sort of groove, with some heavy synths. Plus the long vocal mix and the instrumental versions were both mixed ... (Hip Hop, Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

The Staple Singers doing a disco cover of a huge Talking Heads hit? You bet, and with a totally infectious 80s disco groove and their righteous soulful vocals adding a dose of authenticity to the track! 12-inch, Vinyl record

Jump Trax (mix up, mix down) ... 12-inch Let's Dance, 1984. Near Mint- ... $6.99
The kind of pure rhythm record that often made some of the early Chicago house releases almost seem like experimental electronics! The set features two long tracks – each extended bits of beats, basslines, keyboards, and some spooky samples – with a "mix up" that moves from ... (New Grooves, Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Let's Go Down To The Disco (disco mix)/Whitfield, 1976. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $6.99
A mini disco symphony from Norman Whitfield and Undisputed Truth – just the kind of track to make us get up and go down to the clubs! The tune is a great extension of the righteous Whitfield sound forged back at Motown – deepened here a bit and extended into the disco years, but still ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

A wonderful stepper from the enigmatic Wee Gee!

Melodies International (UK), Late 70s. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $11.99 12.98
A fast-stepping groover with a mighty warm sound – the kind of cut that moves quickly enough for the dancefloor, but also has the richness of a mellower song – thanks to just the right sort of arrangements! Shahid Wheeler has this heartbreaking falsetto that's an unusual mix for the ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

But we still love Willie's version best – and this single features a fantastic ... (Reggae, Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Trax, 1986. Very Good- ... $6.99
Another great early house record on Trax, by Mickey Oliver, one of the original Hot Mix 5 who's built a reputation more on mixing than on his records, though this one's no slouch. Who'd have thought you could build such an irresistible groove with just a drum machine, bass synth and 8 bit sampler? 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Red label pressing.)
Manhattan, 1985. Very Good+ ... $1.99
Two souped-up electro groovers from Bernard Wright – produced by Marcus Miller & Lenny White, with more than enough breaks and pops to make a factory of linoleum groover! "Yo Nard" is probably the best – as it's over the top electro with a poppy edge. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Promo copy. Label has some marker.)
Manhattan, 1985. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $11.99
A pretty great number from Bernard Wright – much smoother and more R&B than some of his work on GRP/Arista, but a great track with a wonderful 80s groove hook! The vocals are surprisingly nice, augmented by a female singer on the chorus – and the tune's still got some nice jazzy ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

An obscure 80s groover on Prelude! The record has a choppy funk style, with vocals that might be called "rap", but which are more in that sharp spoken style that you find on some New York slick funk records from the time. Most interesting is that James Mason co-produced and wrote the ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Hot Shot (voc, inst) ... 12-inch West End, 1978. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Karen's big cut, the only one we'll remember her for, and a big campy track in its day. Served up here on an original West End single, with vocal and instrumental versions both stretching past the 8 minute mark. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(UK pressing on Atlantic in a printed cover.)
Brunswick, 1980. Very Good ... $0.99
An excellent groover from the late Brunswick years – and the standout classic from this youthful club ensemble! The track's got a great snapping groove that's almost in the rollerskating mode – guitars riffing along with the groove, and vocals falling right into place with an ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
