Advance promo from the second LP, without Amel Larrieux. The productions still on point, with a nice soulful groove alongside hip hop influenced beats. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
The cut here is "Make It In Life" with Group Home stepping up the lyrics and add more energy to the vocal style since their days on Payday, plus some nice dense production by Agallah. A tale of giving up the thug life, complete with vocal samples from Louis Farrakhan. Production on " ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Midtempo groover from Curtis – one of the more overlooked singers of the early 80s, but a sweet soul vocal talent that deserves more notice. This cut's got kind of a Michael Jackson Off The Wall groove – and in our book that's a good thing! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
A megamix of Herbie's excellent proto hip hop tracks "Rockit", "Autodrive", "Futureshock", "Rough" and "Chameleon '84" by Grandmixer D St., plus the album versions of "TFS" and "Earthbeat" from the Future Shock LP. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Nice updates of a classic electro/hip hop/breaking track! You can see just how forward looking Herbie was by how great this sounds today, just as fresh as it was back in '83. "Rockit 2.002" features DJ Babu, DJ Q-Bert, DXT, Faust & Shortee, Mix Master Mike, and Rob Swift. (New Grooves) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Funky breaking madness! Nice 12" single of Herbie's big hit cut with Bill Laswell – which sounds surprisingly better today than it did back in 1983. Lots of nice early electro keyboards – and some nice scratching from Grandmaster D St! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has light ringwear, some edge wear, bumped corners, and is bent a bit at the spine.)
"Boogie Nights" will forever be the lasting fame of Heatwave – a monster crossover club track, huge on the charts, huge in the crates, and sounding mighty nice on this early 12" single! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Remixes of "You Never Knew" from the 3rd Eye Vision LP. Unlike some of the tracks from that LP, this one captures all the things that made Hiero dope back then, with production by A-Plus and remixed by Domino. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Hieroglyphics team up with Goapele for the soulful "Make Your Move". 9th Wonder does a remix. "Love Flowin'" is another nice tracks with its own alternate mix, this one by Hiero all star A Plus. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
A really different take on Loleatta Holloway's "Love Sensation" – a version that's totally cut up and reworked by Marshall Jefferson, into a style that's almost a pastiche homage to the track – and Loleatta in general! "Dr Love" is handled in a similar style – ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
The a-side hardly needs any introduction from us, an uplifting disco cut, with soaring, string-laden Gamble & Huff production, and the sort of mainstream appeal that's kept it in constant roatation for years and years! "Fancy Dancer" is from the Comodores heavier funk years, off the ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Massive stuff – and one of the greatest tracks ever recorded by Al Hudson! "Spread Love" has a full burning spiritual sort of groove – with a long intro that keeps on coming, and some great moogy bits that soar towards the heavens with the strings before the vocals come into ...

(White label promo in an ABC Disco sleeve with promo stamp.)
A rare 12" single with one of Willie Hutch's greatest tracks! The driving funky groove of "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" was one of the best things about the film The Mack – and the cut's been a classic for years with just about everyone, from funk fans, to hip hoppers, to early ...

A very strange club groover from Leroy Hutson! The tune's got a popping bass-heavy approach that's a bit like some of his last work for Curtom – but it's also got a smoother production style that's a bit in the LA club mode of the time. Added to this is Leroy's vocals, done with processing ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
