Nice one from Shorty Long – and much more in the vein of his funk work, than his soul stuff. The a-side's a shouted vocal version of this stormer, but we like the flip even better, as it's a cool instrumental, with Shorty laying down some firey organ licks! 7-inch, Vinyl record
Groundbreaking early work from James! We're not sure when "Let Yourself Go" was released – but it's got these fantastic guitars on the beat, very much in the "Papa's Brand New Bag" or "Out Of Sight" mode, although a bit rawer and rootsier. Proof though, that James had a handle on funk as early as he wanted to! Great stuff – and one of those cuts that should be discovered a bit more! 7-inch, Vinyl record

One of the blueprints of hip hop! At the time, Chic's "Good Times" just seemed like a wickedly funky pop tune – but who knew that that bass and guitar groove would inspire a whole generation of hip hoppers, bouncing along in a groove that was at once at home on the roller rink or the wheels of steel! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Label has a date in pen.)
