A fantastic early reggae hit – and a classic bit of rocksteady that never grows old! Desmond was one of the first artists to really crack the global charts, and this American pressing of "Israelites" is more than proof of his popularity – as well as a great little tune! (Reggae) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Charles Stepney arranged, and Bobby Miller arranged and produced, with the great psychedelic soul sound that the Dells were using at the time. 2 tracks from the Always Together LP, here on an original 45! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Funky! "I Want My Momma" is an excellent little psychedelic soul cut – with hard drums at the beginning, echoey production, and some nice fuzzed-out guitars! Charles Stepney arranged, and the track's got stunning Cadet sound to it! "Always Together" is more standard, ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Great stuff! "Wear It On Our Face" is one of their wildest cuts, and starts out with this crazy prepared piano introduction that sounds like it was just lifted from a John Cage record! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Original Cadet single of this stunning soul track, which was the title cut of their great album from 1968. Heavenly harmonies, and nice psychedelic Chicago soul production. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Chess Group sleeve. Label has a small sticker.)
Sounds from the much-ridiculed 60s trash classic – a Milton Delugg original plus a cover by The Fleshtones – plus the movie on DVD! 7-inch, Vinyl record
Great stuff by this excellent Detroit harmony group – cut during their best period. "Do Me Right" is a catchy little groover, with kind of a popping bubbling hook that makes the cut one of the group's most memorable. "Just Now & Then" is a slow mellow number, with a ...

A classic if there ever was one – a seminal 70s soul track, covered by many, and featuring the classic "diamond in the back" line! Sad thing is, everyone always thinks it's Curtis Mayfield – but it's William, and even better than Curtis! Part 2 is a nice instrumental ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
2 killers from Manu! "Soul Makossa" needs no introduction – as it became an instant worldwide hit, and brought the Afro Funk sound firmly into the mainstream, and the dancefloor, all over the world! "Lily" is a midtempo stepper – with flute over the vocals, and ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Nice lost one! "Track Down" has a good choppy funk groove, with nice downbeats, weird spacey electronics, and an off-kilter horn finish. "Let's Put It Together" has more of an uptempo groove, with lots of choppy wah wah guitars – and a strong dancefloor groove! Both ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Obscure work from Ernie K Doe – and pretty darn nice too! "Dancin Man" is an uptempo cut that lives up to its name – one that has Ernie hitting an almost sock-boogaloo soul style, but which still has a bit more jagged New Orleans feel. "Later For Tomorrow" is even ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Incredible stuff – simply incredible! If you ever needed a reason why Lamont Dozier on ABC is such a good thing, check out this single – as both sides are fantastic – the kind of slow burning, full grooving, anthemic soul that Lamont forged best while at his time for the label. ...

2 great ones by Dr John – with backing by The Meters and production by Allen Toussaint! "Right Place" was a huge hit – but it's also an excellent funky number! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Incredible work from The Dramatics! "Devil Is Dope" is this amazing slow funky track about a guy who goes to Hell – and it begins with this hard rumbling bass, and some great sound effects of flames buring the guy! "Hey You" is fantastic, too – and shows the group ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
2 great tracks from their Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get LP. "In The Rain" is a haunting harmony cut that sounds like it was lifted from the vaults of The Whatnauts, and "Good Soul Music" is a nice rollicking number with a good groove. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
"Whatcha See" is one of The Dramatics' best cuts ever! It's got a dope rolling groove, a hard righteous message, and a hook that just won't quit. The track's more than a bit funky, and it's one of those tunes that you've heard for years – and will smile upon catching again! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
A really fragile girl group gem from the Texas scene of the 60s – a track that moves a lot slower and with more heartbreaking qualities than many of the big hits of the period – wonderfully gentle, and with that late nite, moody vibe that we usually find in male groups from the sweet ...
