Johnny Otis produced and penned – which is no surprise, since the gals were part of Johnny's show at the time. The best cut is "Get On Up", a pretty decent funky number that's got a reference to the big Alka Seltzer commercial of the time! 7-inch, Vinyl record
An excellent group soul track from this male outfit from Chicago! The track's got a sweetly stepping midtempo groove – and there's a lead vocal in the front, and some great harmonies on the chorus.

Two Ethio funk tracks with a heck of a lot of power! Mahmoud Ahmed is on the a-side – singing in that beautifully melancholy style of his, while the backing group his this funky groove with chunky organ and some nicely peppered horns, too!

Tight, breakbeat funk style cuts from Russian producer & DJ Anatoly Ice! "Something Happened (2ME)" is laced with old school funky horn and vocal samples, really tightly punctuated by hip hop beats. "Light" is almost a nod to early 90s Dr Dre productions with the promiment G ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Andre 3000 takes on the Beatles-classic, giving it a great pop funk feel that would've fit right in on his The Love Below side of that OutKast classic!

A sweet steel band cover of the funky classic "Jungle Fever" – that great groove you'll know from the famous original by Chakachas – served up here with even more of a funky drum break on the intro, and the added charm of funky steel drums!

A wicked set of funky steel drums – a bad-stepping number from the Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, and just the kind of hard funk cut we're always digging for on steel drum records!

The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band take on two classics from the old school – both with their trademark mix of steel drums and funk! "Scorpio" is the classic jam from Dennis Coffey – taken in a way here that's completely different, as the drums take on the guitar parts – ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Although drummer Dave Bailey only recorded for a brief stretch as a leader, this session's one that shows that he was a heck of a force to contend with! The record's got an intensity that easily rivals the best by Art Blakey over at Blue Note during the early 60s – but Dave's also got a ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has wear, splitting & masking tape along the top & bottom seams.)
Two of the coolest cuts from Andrea Balducci's excellent album on Schema – a slow, slinky version of "Spooky", with sweet Fender Rhodes under the lyrics – and a super-dope funk remake of "Hurt So Bad" – with even more Rhodes, and a groove that really beats the ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

"Mr Funky Samba" is another ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Two killer slices of Brazilian funk! The instrumental "Miss Cheryl" is one of the trademark tunes of Banda Black Rio – a cut with these sharp, jazzy changes that are completely amazing – and which easily have BBR rivaling the sound of Earth Wind & Fire at their best!

Both tracks start out with a fairly intimate sound, but build in atmosphere as ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
An incredible cut – famous, but one we never tire of! This incredible jammer has one of the maddest rhythms you'll ever hear – bass and drums so fierce that they must have been programmed by robots to be so precise – dancing freely all over the place, yet still coming down "w ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
2 stone killers from Archie Bell & The Drells – both of them in that tight and outta site groovy mode that graced their best early work for Atlantic!

A sweet pair of west coast funky instrumentals from The Bombillas! "Tortuga" is a nice mix of a heavy funk bottom end a lighter touch floating over it – hard-hitting drums held tight with the bass, some breezy flute and vibes, and organ. "Kings Up" has a more playful vibe ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Two lesser known tracks from Booker T – but both nice! "Slim Jenkins" has kind of a slight western tinge on the guitar – stepping around a saloon floor with the kind of edgey approach you'd expect from a guy named "Slim"! "Groovin" is a nice instrumental ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Fantastic work from the Berlin period of David Bowie – one of his few catchy tunes from the time, backed with an unreleased live recording!

Mighty righteous sounds from Charles Bradley – a strong message-oriented cut that's set to a slow funk groove – one that steps boldly and proudly, but never too fast – which lets Bradley really take off on his vocal lead, and build things up wonderfully towards the end! "Reve ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A sinister, snakey groove from the Brothers Nylon – one that mixes some slight exotic phrasing with an old school funky mode – in a way that only gets more confident as the groove goes on!

"Goodbye My Love" is one of James' ballad soul tracks – not bad overall, sung in a deep soul style that we always like – but the reall killer is "Shades Of Brown", a very groovy organ instrumental that often gets overlooked, and which has a hard-wailing, nice vamping ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Two nice ones! "Cry Cry Cry" is a beautiful tear-jerker – produced with strings and orchestral parts behind James, and stunning raw vocals right up front. The flip's an instrumental, with a very horn-driven groove, and a smoking organ solo in the middle! 7-inch, Vinyl record

"Justice" ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A pair of aural psych funk severe weather events from the mighty Budos Band! "Maelstrom" kicks off with swirling bit of organ, presaging the funky onslaught to come – with soulful horn blasts and and impeccably rhythmic sensibility that keeps it from flying out of control. "Aval ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
One of those funky 45s you can tell will be great – just by looking at the surface of the grooves! The tune starts out all compressed and trebly at the start – with fuzzy guitar over a spare rhythm, which then gets full and funky once the cut gets going – but then takes this ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
