20th Century, 1975. Very Good+ ... $43.99
Heavy heavy funk from this lost Chicago group – an undisputed powerhouse in the mid 70s, and one of the city's few funky combos to really break out to a national audience! The album's the group's second, and is oddly even more obscure than their first – and it's a stone cold blend of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a small peeled spot on the back and some light wear.)
Wand, 1973. Very Good ... $49.99
An excellent bit of funk – dark, heavy, and with a sweet sound on the top that makes the best cuts sound even more sinister! Includes "I Been Watchin' You" – a killer funky number with a sample riff that you'll recognize instantly, and will probably play again and again and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Array (UK), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy 2LP ... $26.99
Fantastic sounds from Space – a group who were one of the key forces on the French disco scene at the end of the 70s – and maybe the most famous proponents of the "space disco" modes that set that scene apart from clubby styles in Germany and the rest of the continent!

Rejoice/Cultures Of Soul, Early 80s. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 22.98
Weird and wild work from The Space Cats – a funk group from the clubbier years of the South African scene – but who work here in a lean style that's very much their own! The group's led by a bassist, and has some fantastic basslines right up front in the mix – driven by both ... (Global Grooves, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Great work from Spaceark – a funky soul combo who are much more firmly grounded on earth than their name or cover art might make you expect! The record's got this fantastic glow right from the start – really well-played instrumentation that has lots of jazzy currents – to support ... read more CD
