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! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Mono white label promo. Label has a light smudge.)
Otis sings James Brown – and with some great results! "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" is done live – with the kind of hard party groove that the track really deserves. "Direct Me" is a slow rolling Memphis number – an original by Steve Cropper and Otis, with the kind of bubbling soul groove that's all-Stax all the way through! 7-inch, Vinyl record
2 great ones from Dee Dee – recorded with Dave Crawford during her Atlantic years, in a style that's got its roots in late 60s southern soul, but which is also pointing the way towards a hipper future for female singers! Both sides really strong – with good hooks, and excellent vocals from Dee Dee. 7-inch, Vinyl record
2 great ones by Dr John – with backing by The Meters and production by Allen Toussaint! "Right Place" was a huge hit – but it's also an excellent funky number! 7-inch, Vinyl record
Brilliant stuff – the massive two part single that broke Donny out of the box! The tune's spiritual, celebratory, and downright funky – co-written with Leroy Hutson, and a mixture of electric piano, bass, and conga that's totally sublime! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Later Oldies series pressing. Vinyl has a tiny drill hole.)
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 were never able to match it again! "Thigh Spy", as you might guess from the title, is a very different sort of tune – uptempo and grooving, with kind of a silly dancefloor approach. 7-inch, Vinyl record
Beautiful uptempo Philly stuff from Luther Vandross, back when he managed to make stuff with a disco groove, but that also had the feel of a great soul record. 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Promo in an Atlantic/Atco Group sleeve, with bent corners and a small tear in the die-cut. Label on stereo side has an X in pen.)
