Blowfly hits the hip hop era – and does a surprisingly nice job of it! The track's got a compressed kickback groove – and while Blow's not the best MC in the world, the style of the cut is certainly a nice way to freshen up his raunchy party sound. Plus, the x-rated version includes a ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Gene's hit his modern soul stride on this one – grooving nicely on "I'll Make The Living", done in a smooth voiced approach that shows yet another chapter in his rich career as a singer! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Plenty of strings in "Coco Kane", but a great groove too – one that has a strutting sort of bottom, topped with some of the strongest female vocals we've heard on an El Coco Tune! "It's Your Last Chance" has a catchy sort of disco feel – one that builds nicely, and ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(Vinyl has a slightly heated edge and plays with some noise at the beginning on both sides.)
If "Hit & Run" was always like this, it wouldn't be a crime! The track's a bouncing joyous number, and one of Loleatta's first bit club tunes – really grooving with a gently funky approach that has lots of great Salsoul Orchestra touches underneath! Great arrangements and ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Gold Mind sleeve, with light wear and aging.)
A rare bit of house from the New York scene – a very obscure cut laid down by the great Richie Weeks, years after his fame at Salsoul Records – and done with a nice lean groove that's as much NYC electro as it is Chicago house! The cut's got plenty of Linndrum beats, sweet Yamaha keys, ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Post-Motown grooving from Eddie Kendricks – still very much in a boogie mode all the way through! "Whip" is our favorite track here – as it's got a straightforward clubby groove that lets Eddie do plenty on his own with the vocals, especially on the great hook! 12-inch, Vinyl record
This one's already a great tune in its own right, but on the remix, Larry Levan stretches the whole thing out with a brilliant Paradise-style mix of disco and club – one that makes the track one of Chaka's last great numbers! 12-inch, Vinyl record
What can we say? Despite the stupid appearance of the band, "White Horse" was a classic breakdance/electro track that crossed over so big it had kids in Kansas running out to buy parachute pants and squares of linoleum to play along with the kids in the Bronx. Despite that runaway hit ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
What can we say? This is a classic! The track has a monster roller skating groove that's been sampled more than a few times over the years – but which still sounds incredible on its own! Both parts are great – and even though the single's pretty darn long, you still never want it to ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
One of the greatest moments of late Philly – and a dancefloor stormer that never lets us down! The cut's served up here in a stunning 10 minute version – with grooves that go on and on and on, driving the anthemic message of the cut over the top. "I Got The Love" isn't ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A legendary sample cut from back in the day – presented here in three really great versions! The shorter original take is already plenty great – a gem that starts with this jazzy riffing that's continued by keyboards all the way through – while rising vocals soar to the skies ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
2 great 80s numbers with Jagger, Richards, & Co getting a helping hand from the Glimmer Twins, and proving that even at this point in their career they were still very much in the game! (Rock, Soul)12-inch, Vinyl record
The super-huge hit – done up here in the full 12" version, which also features the cut morphing into "Where Did Our Love Go". (Rock, Soul)12-inch, Vinyl record
This is no "Genius Of Love" or "Wordy Rappinghood", but it does have that 80s crossover new wave post-Danceteria type sound that we do love. . . 12-inch, Vinyl record
The adult film star who became a chart act – and thanks to some very skillful help from Gregg Diamond, who wrote, produced, and arranged the record, the title cut "More, More, More" went onto become a huge dancefloor classic. 12-inch, Vinyl record
"Don't Want" is a nice little dancefloor groover from Walden's Awakening album – produced by Wayne Henderson, and served up here in a special disco mix by Issy Sanchez! 12-inch, Vinyl record
A surprisingly long-lasting slammer – the only great tune ever recorded by Yazz, and a sublime remake of an older Otis Clay tune – done here with anthemic house production by Coldcut that really pumps up the hook and sends home the groove! 12-inch, Vinyl record
