Stellar early work from The Ovations – a sweet soul harmony group with a real love for Sam Cooke! "I Believe" is a nicely stepping number, swaying along with a summer night feel. "Qualifications" is a bit more of a rocker – jauntily vamping, but still with that ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Classic early Charlie Parker on Verve – and one that may well support one of the strangest cover illustrations ever done by the great David Stone Martin! The image of a bird-headed Parker blowing alto is more than compelling enough – but inside, the music is even better – pulled ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Early work on Savoy – with Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet, John Lewis and Bud Powell on piano, and Max Roach on drums! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record

Picture sleeve 45 of these two tracks from the Motor Booty Affair LP, with a nice cover that's got the same sort of cartoony fish image as on the cover of the LP! 2 funky tracks from Parliament – recorded during the glory days of P-Funk, and with a bass-heavy groove that reminds us of Bootsy ...

Early stuff from George Clinton & Parliament! "Look At What" is pretty straight soul, but "What You Been Growing" is a nice one, with a bit of trippiness to it, and a nice hook that kind of plays off of "Norweigian Wood". (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
2 great early Parliament cuts, with their raw Detroit blend of funk and rock, on a 7" single we hardly come across anymore! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
A great little soul track – and the record that put George Clinton on the map! "Testify" is a landmark cut – with a great rolling soul sound that takes up the heavy production style of Detroit, and points it towards the psychedelic future of the Mothership. The flipside's a ...

Beautiful soul from George Clinton! Recorded years before the band's first album, but with a rich heavy sound that mixes the Detroit harmony tradition with fuzzier tripped-out soul arrangements – for a great sound that still sounds really beautiful today. Excellent harmony parts, too! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Mono white label promo. Label has a light smudge.)
One of the most incredible soul cuts of all time! "Thin Line" has a sound, a style, and approach that we can't even begin to describe – sad, slow, almost falling apart, and one of the most heartbreakingly honest soul songs ever recorded. In fact, the cut's so great, the Persuaders ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Although James Phelps has a deep raw soul voice – he's matched here with some nice uptown arrangements courtesy of Phil Wright, for a sound that's a lot like some of the best solo Ben E. King solo stuff for Atlantic! "Love Is A 5-Letter Word" is a nice slowly-rolling track with a ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Nice two part version of his big hit! Recorded at Muscle Shoals, with a nice hard groove that only gets better on part 2. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record

The Wicked Pickett takes on "Funky Broadway" – and the result is even better than the original! The track's hard, funky, and has some great raw vocals – and it's backed here by "Sorry About That", a great Bobby Womack composition! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
One of the first really breakout funky numbers from Prince – an anthemic groover that was also the title cut to his album of the same name! "Controversy" never sounded so good – with popping bass and sweetly gliding keys that emphasize the grooves! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
One of our favorite tracks ever from Prince – an instantly funky, instantly catchy tune that never fails to blow us away with its dexterity! The jam sounds great, even after all these years – and it's backed by a non-LP cut, "Another Lonely Christmas" – in which Prince ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Classic! Although folks had been saying for years that Prince was funky, "Kiss" was the first tune to really have him going to town on the instruments – in a way that we always expect from a true funk act, but not so much for the pop charts – reason alone to adore this one! ...

One of the most romping tunes ever recorded by Prince – the kind of cut that was an instant dancefloor stormer back in the day, and still sounds mighty groovy all these many years later!

Prince is looking mighty ready for the get down on the cover – and he's sounding the same on the single, too – serving up one of his slinkiest funky cuts of the early 80s – backed with the non-LP b-side "Irresistible Bitch" – which is maybe even better! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
A sweet sweet classic from Prince – a tune that was hailed as a move to psychedelic modes at the time, but which was really just a way for the singer to open up a whole new side of his talents! "Raspberry Beret" is wonderfully catchy – but it's also got a groove that's maybe ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Sure, the politics seem a bit silly now – but the track's still one of Prince's last really compelling hits. It's got a totally infectious hook, a spare Timmy Thomas-ish beat, and a strangely captivating vocal that really sticks with us. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
One of Prince's biggest tunes ever – and a track that still sounds surprisingly great to our ears these days – funky, chunky, and completely catchy – with a hook that shouldn't go over so well, but really sends the tune home time and time again! "17 Days" is great too ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
"I Enjoy" is the title track to Sydney's first LP – and is a great number with a compressed southern soul style that's a bit like work on Hi Records, but which is handled with more of a Chi-town flair, thanks to some good work by Carl Davis.
