Salsoul, 1980. Very Good- ... $9.99
Recorded after he left Roy Ayers' group, and with a different feel than the stuff he did in the early 70's, this track is Edwin Birdsong's big funk hit, and a tough one to find, too! The cut's got a snapping groove that's in a tight rollerskate funk mode – very nice all the way through, and ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

(Cover has some ring & edge wear and a promo stamp. Label has an index sticker.)
T Neck, 1982. Very Good+ ... $0.99
An excellent single, featuring one of the group's best late tracks! "We Go A Long Way Back" is a smooth modern soul stepper – with a compressed harmony hook that's great, and a warm soul feel that's a lot more 70s sounding than some of the band's other output at the time! 12-inch, Vinyl record
TK, 1980. Very Good+ ... $5.99
A great bit of party funk – even if it's missing Blowfly's vocals! The track's an excellent groover that steps along in a real old school groove – stretched out with snapping beats and lots of guitar and keyboard touches, plus crowd noises, and some occasional vocalizations from Blow ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Strawberry Letter 23/A&M, 1976/1977. Sealed (pic cover)... $14.99
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

Polydor, 1979. Near Mint- ... $3.99
Uptempo funky James from the end of the 70s – aimed at the discos, but with that funky sound of earlier days still pretty much in place! In other words, there's plenty of funky instrumentation in the cuts – a bit faster than in earlier years, but still quite nice – plus ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Probably the biggest hit that Gary Byrd ever had, and a conscious effort by this DJ/public speaker to compete with the hip hop 12" single.

Elektra, 1979. Very Good ... $2.99
A strange little 12" single! Side one features "Sign Of The Times", a mis-placed number that has Terry trying for the dancefloor crowd, in a mode that really doesn't fit with his voice or style. "Occasional Rain" is a great one though – a remake of the title track ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
Atlantic, 1981. Good+ ... $6.99
A catchy bass heavy number with serious dancefloor appeal that doesn't sacrifice any of it's slick modern soul production, in our opinion, the best cut off Change's sophomore LP, Miracles, when the group was still working in a post disco, 80s groove mode that didn't betray the fact that they were ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Epic, 1979. Very Good ... $4.99
A sweet funky dancefloor track from Ndugu Chancler and the Chocolate Jam Co – served up with some nice jazzy touches! "A Chocolate Jam" is a groover with lots of bass on the bottom, plenty of vamping horns, and mixed male/female vocals calling off the tune in a party sort of way. 12-inch, Vinyl record

Westbound/Elektra, 1983. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A killer cut! The Clark Sisters were mostly a gospel-oriented group, but they cut this amazing groover during the early 80s, and it's got a semi-secular sound that launched them into the mainstream soul world for a while. The cut's got a great stepping groove, a very catchy hook in the chorus, ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Curtom, 1978. Good+ ... $9.99
"Runaway Love" is a great groover – with a midtempo groove, and a fast two-step beat that has elements of disco, but stays more in a smooth soul style. Linda's vocals are totally great – and very catchy on the hook – and during the last half of the song, she has this ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Capitol (UK), 1982. Very Good- (pic cover)... $9.99
P-funk reigning strong again – as "Atomic Dog" was the song that proved that George Clinton could still funk it up for the 80s! This British 12" single features the 10 minute long version –with plenty of nice instrumental solos to keep up the groove. 12-inch, Vinyl record

SAM/Columbia, 1978. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Two excellent instrumentals from the great John Davis – one of the best mainstream disco arrangers, and a talent well deserving of his "monster" tag! Both sides are nice, with a good conga groove underneath, and strong instrumentation that never gets too cheesy. 12-inch, Vinyl record

A wonderful remake of Sly Stone's huge hit – done in an early 80s groove kind of way, one that updates the tune with a nice little beat that could either work on a stepper's dancefloor, or a rollerskating jam. Really nice, and one of the the group's best tracks! 12-inch, Vinyl record

Rampart, 1976. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Funky cockroach! This one's a great remake of "La Cucaracha" – taking the tune into hip disco territory, and cooking it up with some nice east side LA grooves!

Atlantic, 1990. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $7.99
What a cut! This was the only truly great one that Family Stand ever cut – and coming out in 1990, it was as direct a rip of the Soul II Soul style as you could ever have – but it was also sort of a return of righteousness to the soul charts, and since Jazzie B remixed it for this ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

2 nice bits of indie modern soul, off the self titled LP from the mid 80s by Frederick. "Gentle"s a nice easy slow jam, and "Move On" picks up the pace a bit, a solid groover aimed right at the 80s dancefloor, with a nice boogie feel. 12-inch, Vinyl record

Gap Band —
Early In The Morning (long, short) ... 12-inch Total Experience, 1982. Near Mint- ... $6.99
A great bass-heavy groover from The Gap Band – pulled off one of their best albums ever, Gap Band IV! The cut's got some really great funky bits on the bottom – acoustic piano wrapped around some more electric rhythms, in a blend that keeps the track as soulful as it is catchy! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Taana Gardner —
Heartbeat (club version, party version) ... 12-inch West End, 1981. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!
An undisputed classic! The funky grooves of this early 80s single by Taana make it our favorite by her – and it's a non-stop killer that's served up here in a 9 and 6 minute version. Used as the sample for "Buddy" by De La Soul, and for a whole bunch of other tracks too! 12-inch, Vinyl record

Clockwork, 1983. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A great club number from the early 80s, and we're not saying that because we love vocoder vocals so much either.
