Great 3-sided single that features two regular sides, plus a third side "hidden" amidst the grooves of the second side. Loads of great stuff, including "Brain Washed Follower" and "Ain't Hip to Be Labeled a Hippy". The kind of 12 inch single that makes collecting them worth while! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Original pressing with SRC stamp, in the stickered Tommy Boy sleeve. Still includes the sticker! Sleeve has some wear and aging, and an index label with BPM. Label has BPM in pen.)
With a remix of "Ego Trippin (Part 2)" from the Buhloone Mindstate album plus two 12-inch only bonus tracks – "Ego Trippin (Part 3)" and "Lovely How I Let My Mind Float" featuring Biz Markie, both produced by Prince Paul. And if the music wasn't nice enough, the cover is done up in the style of one of those early 80's hip hop flyers. 12-inch, Vinyl record
No mixed feelings from us, this an excellent mid 70s soul tune – magical stuff from mid 70s South Carolina combo Mixed Feelings! "Sha LaLa" is a wonderful tune with a vamping guitar groove mirrored by some really sweet keys, and tight drum work for instrumentation – but the best part about it is the interplay between lead vocalist Arthur Donaldson, formerly of The Royals, and his female backing vocalists – a rapport that shows love for earlier doo wop, in the middle of an overall sound that's right at home anywhere in the 70s! An exceptional number reintroduced by the always tasteful Soul Cal label! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Pic sleeve version of this 12", with remixes of "Passin' Me By" and "Otha Fish" by LA Jay. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Early 00s reissue. Cover has some ring and edge wear, light smudges from sticker removal at the top right, and is lightly bent at the sides. Label on B Side has remnants from a large sticker.)
Two groovy groovy tracks! You may recognize "La Coda Del Diavolo" from it's recent use in a TV commercial – or remember it, as we do, from Conte's sublime Jet Sounds album – and it's given a great push here by the Karminsky Brothers, who mix vibes, sound snippets, and flutey vocals together wonderfully! "Missione" is kind of a bossa-Indian number – one that blends together vibes, sitar, and funky beats, all remixed here by Ursula 1000! 12-inch, Vinyl record
An essential bit of funky breaks! This long out of print 12" single features 4 of the funkiest tracks by drummer Roy Porter – lifted off of his rare mid 70s LPs, and reissued briefly on this single by Luv N Haight back when the label was just starting off. The tracks have some monster drum breaks! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Sure, the politics seem a bit silly now – but the track's still one of Prince's last really compelling hits. It's got a totally infectious hook, a spare Timmy Thomas-ish beat, and a strangely captivating vocal that really sticks with us! The flip's a bit silly – a 10 minute extended number with a silly jam kind of feel – but it's also a great testament to the freedom that Prince was allowed on his 12" singles – which makes them every bit as essential as his albums. 12-inch, Vinyl record
A lost piece of New Jersey hip hop, with some excellent production by Tony D, around the time he was working heavily with Poor Righteous Teachers. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Our favorite track from the Likwidation LP. Spare beats with a staccato piano line throughout plus the sound of rolling bottles as percussion, with a great appearance by the late great ODB! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Includes "The Vapors" with Vince Staples, "Bed Peace" with Childish Gambino, "Stay Ready (What A Life)" with Kendrick Lamar, and "WTH" with Ab-Soul. 12-inch, Vinyl record
