(In a Fantasy sleeve.)
Atlantic, 1986. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A great post-disco track from the Aleem brothers, with a some very 80s production with heavy Linn drums and electro touches, and some nice soulful vocals courtesy Leroy Burgess, which are a bit buried too in the mix for our tastes. 12-inch, Vinyl record

Score/Past Due, 1982. Near Mint- (reissue)... $11.99
A lost boogie groover from the early 80s Memphis scene – a cut that's nicely stripped-down overall, almost with a house-like simplicity – but served up with a lot more of an electro-soul vibe overall! Beats are very straightforward, and there's some great use of vibes throughout – ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Our Gang, 1982. Near Mint- ... $4.99
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

CBS, 1978. Very Good+ ... $0.99
While the jam off the album Physical Attraction is the stepper's groove "You Know You Want To Be Loved", CBS chose to push the dance angle with the uptempo title track instead, with super smooth ballad on the flip. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo.)
Salsoul, 1981. Near Mint- ... $3.99
Not the famous "Ling Ching Tong" tune of doo wop fame, but a new track by Joe from his Latin disco years. The track's got a Salsoul type beat, but Joe's sticking to his Latin soul approach with the lyrics – despite the modern sound of the production and backings.

Next Plateau, 1985. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A wonderful disco groover, reissued by Next Plateau in the 80s, but originally recorded for Motown in 1977 by Carl Bean, who we think never got a chance to issue a full album for the label! The real strength of the cut lies with Norman Harris – who produced the cut with a warm bubbling ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

(Cover has some ring & edge wear and a promo stamp. Label has an index sticker.)
Motown, 1978. Near Mint- ... $0.99
A mellow groover from Bloodstone – clubby, but also a bit laidback too – just enough so that their vocals can flow strongly and harmonize nicely as the tune rolls on! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a stickered Motown sleeve with a large name in marker and some pen. Labels have some pen.)
T Neck, 1982. Very Good+ ... $1.99
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

A great lost record of minimalist club – a set that we'd rank right up there with classics by Arthur Russell, Liquid Liquid, or some of the other most creative talents on the New York scene at the start of the 80s! As with work by those other two artists, there's an experimental approach ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Brooklyn Express —
Sixty-Nine/One Way, Early 80s. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A great 80s disco cut with a infectious thumping beat and sweet chirping guitars with a more sequencer based disco number on the flip from Began Cekic, Tee Scott and Fredd Zarr. 12-inch, Vinyl record
A&M, 1976/1977. Near Mint- (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

Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers —
Bustin' Loose (parts 1 & 2) ... 12-inch Source, 1979. Good+ ... $0.99
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
TTED, 1984. Used ... Just Sold Out!
At this point, Chuck and the group have moved firmly into DC Go-Go territory – but they still did that pretty darn well, and their years as a funk group make this one kick a bit more than other singles from the time. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a TTED sleeve.)
MLAR, 1999. Sealed ... $0.99

Polydor, 1980. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $14.99
One of the few James Brown 12" singles ever, and a rare promo issue that features 2 cuts from James' Jam/1980s LP. Both cuts have an uptempo funk sound, and "The Spank" is a pretty decent attempt by James to capture the modern dancefloor. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo. Cover has some wear and aging.)
James Brown —
It's Too Funky In Here/Polydor, 1979. Used ... Just Sold Out!
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

"It's time for the percolator"! Raw new school Chicago house, from the first wave of Chicago's house renaissance in the early 90s! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Elektra, 1979. Near Mint- ... $1.99
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
(White label promo, in an Elektra sleeve.)
Atlanta, 1985. Very Good+ ... $6.99
Later Cameo, with the lead off track from the album of the same name, with a fat, mid tempo 80s groove holding everyhting together under Larry Blackmon's "Owwwww"s. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Polygram sleeve.)
Atlanta/Polygram, 1986. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $3.99
A mid-80s classic from Cameo – one that showed the world that the group was still very much in the funky music game, even if their lineup had been reduced to a trio! 12-inch, Vinyl record

Casper —
Casper's Groovy Ghost Show (parts 1, 2, & 3) ... 12-inch AVI, 1980. Very Good (pic cover)... $0.99
Back in the day, Chicago never had much of a rap scene – which is why it was so easy for Chicago radio DJ Casper to score big with this little groover on the AVI label! The cut's actually not bad as sort of a funky clubby track – and Casper's rapping style reminds us a lot of Gary Byrd ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Salsoul, 1983. Very Good+ ... $13.99
A great remake of a one of our all time favorite tracks! Jimmy recut "It's Just Begun" for Salsoul in the early 80s – and Larry Levan takes the track to a whole new level with his mix on this single, by adding in some sweet electric touches, cutting up the rhythm a bit more, and ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Elektra, 1979. Near Mint- ... $2.99
A great bit of dancefloor funk from Chameleon – co-produced by Fred Wesley and Azar Lawrence, with a groove that's very much in keeping with the Horny Horns style of the late 70s! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo, in an Elektra disco sleeve, with a name in marker. Labels have some pen.)
Atlantic, 1979. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of the blueprints of hip hop! At the time, Chic's "Good Times" just seemed like a wickedly funky pop tune – but who knew that that bass and guitar groove would inspire a whole generation of hip hoppers, bouncing along in a groove that was at once at home on the roller rink or ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Epic, 1979. Very Good ... $6.99
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- ... $6.99
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

Capitol (UK), 1982. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $14.99
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

Yes!

SAM/Columbia, 1978. Near Mint- ... $6.99
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

Mercury, 1979. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $6.99
The a-side on this one's an ok bit of bass-y funk, but the real gem is the instrumental – a great midtempo groover that starts with a tight drum break, then really plays up on the bass, giving the track a very solid old school funk sound! A nice one to sample, and equally great for an 80s ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
