No Way Back (voc, inst) ... 12-inch Trax, 1986. Near Mint- ... $199.99
An undeniable acid house classic with enough bouncing 303 bassline and 808 handclaps to keep you moving all night long! One of the essential mid 80s Trax releases. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Grey marbled vinyl pressing, nice and clean! Vinyl has some minor press flaws common with early Trax vinyl, but nothing affecting play.)

Dakar, 1981. Very Good ... $3.99
An 80s groove classic! This track has a killer sound that mixes bass-heavy funk with a tight electric keyboard sound – and it rips along nicely with a very catchy hook. The cut's one of our all-time favorites from this time, and it's got a hard funky groove that keeps on going! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Our Gang, 1982. Near Mint- ... $6.99
Great boogie from Amuzement Park – a group that should have lasted longer than they did! "Groove Your Blues Away" is a snapping little jammer that builds up wonderfully – bass hooking you in, snippets of horn adding soul, and ensemble vocals that really send the tune over the ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Brilliant work! Would music ever be this great again? We're hard pressed to think so.

Warner, 1979. Very Good ... $2.99

Running Away (long, short) ... 12-inch Polydor, 1977. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $11.99
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
Milestone, 1980. Near Mint- ... $43.99

Earlier funk from The Bar-Kays – recorded back in the earlier part of the 70s when the group were recording for Stax, but issued here to cash in on the group's later fame on Mercury!

Salsoul, 1981. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Not the famous "Ling Ching Tong" tune of doo wop fame, but a new track by Joe from his Latin disco years.

Sublime early work from Blaze!

TK, 1980. Very Good+ ... $0.99
Blowfly hits the hip hop era – and does a surprisingly nice job of it!

Liberty, 1982. Sealed (pic cover)... $9.99

From the transitional period when Chuck and co. were moving from the harder funk style of their Sussex days to the Go Go sound they'd help pioneer in DC, with a style that combines both, with a bottom heavy groove, wiry guitar, horn stabs and percolating percussion. This single features their ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
