Two nice cuts of trippy Chicago soul by this great group that never really made an album, and who don't ever get reissued as much as we'd like. Charles Stepney arranged, Bobby Miller produced, and the material is similar to some of The Dells' weirder stuff on Cadet! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Two great takes on this classic underground soul tune! The single begins with the original Harris & Orr version of "Spread Love" – a take that has a slow piano intro topped with spare, soulful vocals with a very righteous vibe – then moves into an upbeat groove with some great moogy keyboards next to the lyrics! The flipside features the version of the tune by Michael Orr & The Book Of Life – more upbeat overall, with a clubby vibe and even more confident vocals! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Amazing stuff from Stax Records – a BEAUTIFUL package that features 10 singles in original label sleeves, in a custom made, magnetic flip-top box – which also contains an 84 page book, and a free download for all the songs included! The music here is some of the best work from the second half of Stax – the kinds of singles that are prizes in our funky 45 collection – although there's a here we've never found at all! Titles include "The Dryer (parts 1 & 2)" by Roy Lee Johnson & The Villagers, "The Whole Damn World Is Going Crazy" by John Gary Williams, "Running Out" by Mable John, "Cool Strut (parts 1 & 2)" by Bernie Hayes, "Them Hot Pants (parts 1 & 2)" by Lee Sain, "Hijackin Love" by Johnny Taylor, "Sweetback's Theme" by Melvin Van Peebles, "Blind Alley" by The Emotions, "Itch & Scratch (parts 1 & 2)" by Rufus Thomas, and "Gone The Promises Of Yesterday" by The Mad Lads.
