Two less-remembered Sam & Dave tunes from the Stax years – both written and produced by Issac Hayes and David Porter, but rediscovered years later after blockbuster sampling by DR Period for MOP! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(With Atlantic sleeve. Label on A Side has a small sticker. B Side is mis-labeled but corrected in pen.)
Shoutin soul from Etta! "Breaking Point" is a great little hard-hitting tune – romping along with a catchy groove, and sung by Etta in a style that really gets the most out of the catchy catchy hook! "That Man" is more of a midtempo number – but it rolls along ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
(With a blue & white Chess Group sleeve, with bent corners. Labels have a drillhole and a faint ink stamp.)
A crowning moment of the Chicago soul scene of the 60s! Nobody was better than Walter Jackson at Iceman soul – and no cut of his carried this off better than the sublime "It's All Over" – one of those incredible tunes that we never tire of hearing! "Lee Cross" is ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

Great stuff from one of the 70s' best vocal groups! "Seems Like" is stone mellow east coast harmony soul, with a sweet ballad style. "Town Called Nowhere" is even better, and has a nice choppy guitar, and a good midtempo groove. Very nice! 7-inch, Vinyl record
Two funky cuts from this excellent group – both produced by Osunlade! "Finger It Out" has a snapping drum topped by riffing guitar – then really great horns come into the mix, just peppering the groove but in a mighty nice way! "Kushti" has a rhythm that's much ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A wicked slow funk number from Fat Night – haunting, moody, and very very compelling! There's a slightly trippy feel to the track – maybe from the heavy echo used on the vocals – but the core groove of stepping guitar and drums almost takes us back to the best mellow harmony cuts ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
