Two classic club-driven tunes by this late 70s funk ensemble! "Lovin" is a strong disco number – female vocals in the lead, and lots of swirling grooves that go on for over 7 minutes in this mix! "Stormin" is even better – a funky ensemble tune, with some really ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record

Plastic EP ... 12-inch Formation (UK), 1992. Very Good (pic cover)...
Out Of Stock
A bit jazz, a bit funk – and two tight tracks from this tasty trio! Daru Jones handles the drum kit with a nice snap and crackle – while Doyle Bramhall is more laidback on guitar, really letting things twang out with a Memphis vibe at times – as DJ Harrison delivers plenty of ...

One of the cuts that veered a bit more towards the mainstream than some of the earliest work by the Heavies, off their breakthrough Shelter album, with a post P-Funk/80s groove hook, that gets a tougher remix courtesy Ski, the man behind many of Jay Z's big hits. (Neo Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Brass Construction/Banbarra —
Movin/Shack Up ... 12-inch Soul Brother/Expansion (UK), 1975. Near Mint- ...
Out Of Stock
2 excellent bits of rare funk – back to back! "Movin" is the more popular number here – a horn-heavy dancefloor jammer from Brass Construction, with great interplay between horns, moog, and keyboards, stretching out for a full 8 minute track! "Shack Up" is even ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Completely sublime! Shuggie Otis first wrote and recorded "Strawberry Letter 23", but it took The Brothers Johnson, and some smooth Quincy Jones production to make it a hit! The track loses none of it's original trippy soul in this version – and if anything, the better vocals ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(Red vinyl pressing in the printed sleeve, with some ring and edge wear, bent corners, and a peeled spot from sticker removal. Label has a peeled spot from sticker removal.)
Titles include "Real Life", "Back To Us", "Evening Glow", "A House Of Many Ghosts (Reissue)", and "Lovers (Casa Del Mirto Mix)". (Rock) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Uptempo funky James from the end of the 70s – aimed at the discos, but with that funky sound of earlier days still pretty much in place! In other words, there's plenty of funky instrumentation in the cuts – a bit faster than in earlier years, but still quite nice – plus ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A big underground club number around these parts, one of disco's biggest sleeper tracks, with a very Euro feel to the production. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Amazing slow-burn track from the Ghetto Boy, where Dr. Wolfgang Von tells the introspective tale of his battle with alcohol-fueled madness that famously cost him his eye. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Early single from old school pioneer Busy B. With that live/party sound along the lines of Grandmaster Flash's "Birthday Party." The production has a little less of the 'slap bass' sound than some of the other Sugarhill singles from that time. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Promo in a Sugar Hill sleeve. Label on Side B is double layered and bubbly.)
"Coolin Out" is a great later Philly cut from Jerry Butler – a perfect mix of his masterful vocals and a sweet Gamble & Huff groove! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Massively jazzy soul from Donald Byrd – two "love" tunes from the late 70s and early 80s! "Love Has Come Around" goes in a whole new direction than his earlier Mizzell-styled work – snapping a sweet clapping groove, yet still keeping enough acoustic touches to keep ...

(In a red and black Elektra/Asylum sleeve, with some ring and edge wear and a light sticker spot.)
A mid-80s classic from Cameo – one that showed the world that the group was still very much in the funky music game, even if their lineup had been reduced to a trio! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has waviness from moisture and light wear.)
A weird little electro single from Italy – one that's got some great jagged beats on the intro – popping and crackling in breakdance frenzy before the darker, starker lyrics come into the mix. The tune was arranged by Simonetti – and the instrumental mix is really the one to go ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record

A high school record, but also one of the first hip hop singles to come out of Chicago! Given that in the early 80s, Chi-town was still focusing mostly on soul (and soon, house), the Windy City was way behind New York in terms of hip hop production – and most early rap efforts came out as ...

The great second single from the "Where's The Party At?" LP. More uptempo production and hard cutting from DJ Cash Money. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
THE standout cut from Central Line – a track so big that it got the group noticed over here on our side of the Atlantic, and forever gave them a place in the hallowed halls of 80s groove! The tune chugs along at a great roller skating rhythm – with some spare use of keyboards that ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
