Brilliant work! Would music ever be this great again? We're hard pressed to think so. Trevor Horn, fresh from his vamped-up work with Yes, hits the beat box with the Dudley, Horn, and Jeczalik team, and comes up with these crossover instrumental tunes that took a hip hop groove to the next level ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Roy Ayers —
Running Away (long, short) ... 12-inch Polydor, 1977. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $13.99
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

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

Grand Groove, Mid 80s. Very Good ... $3.99
A nice nice bit of 80s groove! Patrick Adams handled the mix, and the cut's got a bit of an electro feel, mixed with some stronger than usual vocals for a club cut like this. Nice hook, and some good 80s keyboards and drum machine beats! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo.)
BC, Late 70s/Early 80s. Very Good ... $11.99
Another nice track from Began Cekic, with a helping hand from Tee Scott. The groove's popping early 80s sound has a crisp midtempo almost roller skating vibe. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo in a BC sleeve. Label has some pen. Vinyl has a press flaw on each side that causes a small click.)
BC, 1979. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Nice! Basically a re-edit of the breakdown from Eddie Kendrick's "Girl You Need A Change Of Mind" which starts out super spare, and by the end has a few extra bits thrown in to refresh the track, like some added perscussion, guitar, keys and bass, which like the other Brooklyn Express ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

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

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+ ... $6.99
"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

Wonderful stuff from one of the best indie soul artists of the early 80s! The cut's a very solid groover, marching along at a midtempo pace while smooth keyboards from Hubert Eaves soar over the top.

Double Exposure/Salsoul, 1976. Very Good ... $7.99
2 excellent bicentennial grooves from Salsoul, both pumped up nicely in the mix by Tom Moulton.

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

Clockwork, 1983. Very Good+ ... $0.99
A great club number from the early 80s, and we're not saying that because we love vocoder vocals so much either.
