A catchy little groover from one of our favorite side-spots in the 80s Prince universe – a cut that's arranged and produced by Clare Fischer, but surprisingly funky overall! (Soul) 7-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 ...

Definitely the high point of the Fatback band's later career, after they'd abbreviated their name, and adopted a slicker sound. One of our favorite bottom heavy 80s jams, from the cusp of the era. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
A wonderful single from this incredible harmony group! The Festivals should have been as big as the Impressions, Artistics, or other Chicago groups of the time – as their sound was perfect – hitting on all burners, running high and low without ever missing a beat. Both cuts here are ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A wonderful lost gem from Ella Fitzgerald – very much in the mellow mood hinted at in the title, with only the piano of Ellis Larkins to back her up! The sound is incredible – and even very different than any of the work she recorded at Verve – with a moody, evocative quality ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Haunting work from this legendary Chicago harmony group – and one of the few records to feature the enigmatic Cubie! "Something's Missing" has a really righteous feel – building in a slow, soulful Curtom way – with strings and horn parts giving way to some wonderfully ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A very weird later single from The Flamingos – one recorded in the early 70s, almost as a "message cut" that linked together early African American history and the plight of the Native Americans! The intro of the track tells the story of an early black soldier in the early days of ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record

Readings from "Malombra", "Piccolo Mondo Antico" and "Piccolo Mondo Moderno" by Elena Da Venezia and Franco Graziosi. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
(In the heavy frame cover, with some light wear and spotty aging.)
The Foundations were the first of many successful British groups to break the American charts – and the first LP has the racially mixed group grooving like the best US soul acts from the same time. The set kicks off with the band's first big single – "Baby, Now That I've Found ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Uni sleeve with minimal wear. Vinyl has a tiny drill hole. Labels have small stickers.)
One of her coolest records from the 70's. Her version of "Moody's Mood" is more than enough proof that she's got great jazz chops, and "Master Of Eyes" is a nice dark soul track. Quincy Jones arranged and produced, and he brings a lot to Aretha's style. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Classic stuff – as Aretha's version of the Ashford & Simpson hit "You're All I Need" is augmented with lovely strings and large arrangements by Arif Mardin, very much in the style that Aretha was moving into after her first few sessions with Atlantic. "Pullin" is a ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record

The biggest hit ever by The Free Movement – issued here in a pre-Columbia 45 on Decca! The track's got a sad slow style that's almost LA pop-soul – and builds with the vocals into a very nice harmony track. The flip's pretty nice too – chugging and a little funky, but ultimately ...

A tripped-out funky number that begins with some great guitar – scratching away in a Sly Stone mode, before the track rolls into vocals by Phil Flowers, with a weird heavy soul kind of sound. Kind of in the rock/funk mode – like other work on Epic at the time! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Wicked! Not only is this track one of our all-time favorite Funkadelic cuts, but it's got a monster sample on the intro that you'll recognize right away! Wicked stuff, with nearly 10 minutes of the cut over both sides of the single! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Funky Funkadelic! "Let's Take It To The Stage" is a great one – slow funky, guitar noodling about in a spare cool way, and tripped out vocals sliding in and out, spoken and sung! "Biological" is great too – with a slow chunky beat on the intro, sampled more than a ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record

Two tasty numbers from this obscure girl group from the early 70s. Both tracks have the Fuzz singing in a more sophisticated style than their contemporaries – not giving into "little girl" sorts of love lyrics, but hitting a more mature, ultimately more sexy approach to the ...
