Probably the biggest hit ever by Imagination – a smooth modern stepper with a definite 80s groove! The hook made it a big one for them – and when you hear it, you'll hear why! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Maybe a bit goofy, but now a classic club track that's survived the test of time nicely as just about every DJ's theme song, with a monster scratchy guitar riff, and lots of that rolling bass pedal groove that was so popular in the early 80s. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
The other single from one-hit-wonders Indeep. The cut has almost the same feel as "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life", with an insistent beat and a propulsive bass pedal, and a sort of chirping funky guitar line, but at a slightly slower tempo. The scratch versions don't actually have ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
4 mixes of this classic bit of Detroit Techno – going over the top, into the mainstream, thanks to the lasting genius of Kevin Saunderson! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Reese Sunderson's moving into slightly uplifting territory here, with nice soulful vocals over this house-y number that only really qualifies as techno from it's pedigree. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
One of the greatest tracks ever from this legendary Philly backing combo – a sweetly tippling bit of disco that really soars on this 12" single! The track builds with a full feel, then snaps into some clapping rhythms and funky guitar that show that that the group more than live up to ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A great remake of the Wet Willie hit – one that's got a soaring, strutting clubby feel that's totally wonderful! The tune's a superb anthem from the old days – and although the hook's a bit commercial, it still sounds plenty great to us after all these years! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Beautiful beautiful work from Jose James – a tune that's fragile, soulful, and completely wonderful! There's a classic quality to the cut that may have you running back to your hipper jazz vocal albums of the 70s – but the tune is Jose's own, and delivered with a beautifully laidback ...

A great but overlooked bit of crossover funk from Chas Jankel – guitarist for Ian Dury & The Blockheads during the late 70s! The real standout here is the original version of "Ai No Corrida" – a track probably best remembered from Quincy Jones' Dude album, but sounding ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A soulful classic from Chicago! "Move Your Body" is a wonderful house tune – one with a warmer groove than usual, and vocals that really drive the track in a great way. Mixed by Chicago legend Ron Hardy, this track needs no introduction around these parts, and we'd be surprised if ... (House Music) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
An old school classic from way back – a reworking of the famous groover by Babe Ruth, opened up nicely for the 80s dancefloor by Jellybean! Heck, the cut almost makes you forgive him his silly name! (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has a hype sticker, some edge wear, small peel in the lower corner on the front & back.)
An undisputed Chi House classic! The hard drums and bubbly electronics of this one make it a killer, and leave it sounding even fresher today than when it first came out. Lead vocals by Keith Nunnally are extremely soulful – with a great sound that gives the cut a lot more bottom than some ... (House Music) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(Original white label pressing with blue text. Label has small writing in pen.)
We're not entirely certain if this is the same Jocko's as the one who cut "Rhythm talk" for Philly International a few years earlier, but this cut's in the same bag, with a bouncing commercial early 80s sound, not unlike Sugarhill Gang or Whodini. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo, in a promo Sugar Hill sleeve.)
Syl's last big record – a sweet bluesy groover for the clubs, with a bit of an older feel to it. "Ms Fine Brown Frame" was written with General Crook, who also produced and arranged. Backing on all tracks is by the James Cotton group. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
"You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else" is one of the all-time great tracks by Philly International's best girl group – and it's served up here in a special disco mix, which runs for a full 8 minutes! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Maybe the group's most famous song – and it wasn't even included on any of their original albums, which makes owning a 12" single of the cut that much more wonderful! The song is served up here in two versions, and really benefits from the sonic brilliance of a large piece of vinyl ... (Rock) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A spacey stormer from Marshall Jefferson and crew – stretching out for nearly 7 minutes with that increasingly baroque feel that was creeping into the Chicago sound at the time. (House Music) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Bass pedals, midtempo rhythms, and a sublime early 80s groove – a cut that crossed over big but still sounds great today – and a wonderful mix of styles that's easily one of the standouts from the time! The keys are electric, but never too cold – and Junior's vocals on the hook ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
One of our favorite Just-Ice tracks which features classic spare production by Mantronix at the height of his skills, and 6 and 1/2 minutes of completely different lyrics. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
This is Just-Ice's first single, with a track that didn't make it to the LP, plus the original version of "Latoya" that's better than the LP version. "Put That Record Back On" is the cut here, with classic Mantronix production, from around the same time as his other big singles. ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
