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.)
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
(Labels have initials in marker, spot of sticker removal.)
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
Justus League hip hop from ABB Records! "Miss You (rmx)" features Edgar Allen Floe. "The Future" features Little Brother's Big Pooh and Kenn Starr. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
"Get Down Saturday Night" is a wicked bit of 80s groove – a warm bubbling number with stepping bass, washes of keyboards, and a hook that just won't quit! The track springs forth with a sound that few other groovers from the time could match – with a soulful finish that's ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
