True Loves —
Famous Last Words/Colemine, 2019. New Copy ... $5.99
True Loves come on strong with this one – horns blasting out with a joyous funky vibe before the drums and guitar even kick in – then dancing together with effortless energy that really keeps things moving! There's a nice percussion break in the middle – and the cut's backed by ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Muddy Waters —
Manish Boy/Chess/Third Man, 1954. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99
Maybe one of the most famous Muddy Waters songs ever recorded – served up here in all its fantastically raw glory! The tune's got Waters playing a famous electric guitar vamp that may well have become the blueprint for countless bar bands to come – but serving up the lyrics with a wit ...

(Beautiful reissue pressing – even in a vintage-style Chess sleeve!)
Colemine, 2019. New Copy ... $5.99
There's a fantastic riffing guitar that kicks off "America" – this fast-strutting groove that's supported by just the right drum beats – making for a monstrous bit of fast-chugging soul that's perfect for the raspy raw vocals! "We All Bleed The Same" has these ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Colemine, 2016. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99
The first single from neo-classic soul singer Ben Pirani! "Light Of My Life" does a pretty great job of melding old school styles, from organ and hand percussion, to richer, fuller sounds with horns and harmonies – but it's Ben's voice that gives it all the more credibility. "Dr ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Daptone, 2019. New Copy ... $5.99 6.99
Classic meets contemporary here in a nice sort of way – as Miramar serve up two tracks with an older Cuban vibe, both given a slight bit of Daptone funk at the bottom! The drums are great on "Salida", and keep the track from being another romantic number – and things get nice ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Daptone, 2019. New Copy ... $5.99 6.99
A sweetly trippy track from The Frightnrs – one that almost somewhere between rocksteady and lover's rock – but with enough of a bassline to keep things in a funky stepping mode throughout! The vocals are mighty nice, almost in an old school Jamaican soul style – and "Questio ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Chess/Third Man, 1951. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99 6.98
Killer early work by Howlin Wolf – a fantastic early single for Chess Records! "How Many More Years" has as much romping piano as fuzzy guitar – but fuzziest of all are the Wolf's vocals – which are superb! "Moanin At Midnight" is great, too – slower, ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Great Third Man pressing – with a vintage-style Chess sleeve too!)
Chess/Third Man, 1951. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99 6.98
A classic track that some folks claim was one of the first-ever rock and roll records – but which, to our ears, just sounds like some killer R&B! Jackie Brenston wasn't actually the lead act – he was just the singer for Ike Turner's group at the time – but the cut was ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Great Third Man pressing – with a vintage-style Chess sleeve too!)
Daptone, 2018. New Copy ... $5.99 8.99
A compelling cut from the late Charles Bradley – a track that's got a vibe that's maybe more rocksteady than some of the other work you may know from the deep soul singer – this great Jamaican vibe that seems to unlock a whole new side of his talents! "Strike Three" follows ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Daptone, 2018. New Copy ... $5.99
Raw soul from the James Hunter Six – right up there the best of his recordings for Daptone! "I Don't Wanna Be Without You" is stripped down really nicely, letting James's sweetly gritty voice carry the vibe, as it should for an intimate song, but it's backed by the coolest vintage ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Daptone, 2017. New Copy ... $5.99 8.99
A fantastic funky single from Sharon Jones – a tune that dips, turns, swells, and grooves – all with an even more fantastic demonstration of her vocal skills than usual – and support from the Dap-Kings that show again that they're one of the best funky bands in the business! ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Chess/Third Man, 1953. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99
A fantastic Muddy Waters track from the early 78rpm years – a tune that's got this unbelivable folding together of fuzzy guitar and hypnotic vocals – almost a trance-like take on Chicago blues, and proof that even at the start, Muddy was onto something new! "Sad Sad Day" is ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Beautiful reissue pressing – even in a vintage-style Chess sleeve!)
Dunham/Daptone, 2011. New Copy ... $5.99
Beautiful! "Crossing" is a sublime ballad number by the Menahan Street Band – a funky instrumental, yet taken at a slow-stepping pace that's really amazing – like some lost backing track from a hip early 70s harmony soul number – complete with well-placed beats, and ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Chess/Third Man, 1950. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99
A classic early tune from Muddy Waters – one that might not have changed the world when it was released at the start of the 50s – but later gave the famous group their name! The tune's a wonderful mix of raw rural and early electric Chicago blues modes – spare, but extremely ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Beautiful reissue pressing – even in a vintage-style Chess sleeve!)
Daptone, 2018. New Copy ... $5.99 6.99
A great little cut that really lives up to its title – a jazzy mambo taken at a nice fast tempo – complete with some excellent percussion, fast-scatting vocals, and this great flute line that comes along in the middle and makes the whole thing really sparkle! The flipside is great too ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Colemine, 2019. New Copy ... $5.99
Guitar, bass, and drums all really seem to love each other to death at the start of "Rugged Walk" – coming on with a unified groove that's peppered with horns in just the right way – while the guitar kind of wangles a bit of a solo next to a trumpet, and the whole thing ...

Big Crown, 2016. New Copy (pic cover)... $5.99 9.98
The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band take on two classics from the old school – both with their trademark mix of steel drums and funk!

Coalmine, 2005. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $5.99 10.99
Timmion (Finland), 2017. New Copy ... $5.99
A contemporary cut, but one that's got a great early 70s sweet soul vibe – as Carlton June delivers this fantastic heartbreaking lyric, while the Cold Diamond & Mink combo give him a slow funk drumbreak backup! The flipside's an instrumental – which lets you focus even more on the ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Timmion (Finland), 2019. New Copy ... $5.99 9.99

(Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Mr Bongo (UK), 1975/1976. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99 9.98
There's lots of cool keyboards on "Mais Kriola" – moogy bits, clavinet, and maybe more too – all wrapped together in this mix of funk and Brazilian fusion, in a way that reminds us a bit of early Azymuth – but with more soulful vocals! "Maita" is one of the ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Third Man, 2018. New Copy (pic cover)... $1.99
A stylistic boundary pushing couple of tracks by Tanzania Albinism Collective – raw percussion, chanted vocal driven East African folk music unlike any we've heard before, and all the more compelling for it! The group is an ad hoc combo of singers and players from Ukerewe's Standing Voice ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Timmion (Finland), 2018. New Copy ... $5.99 8.99
Cold Diamond & Mink provide some killer slow funk backing here – so much so that the tune's already got this great moody vibe before Emilia Sisco comes in with the lyrics – which have a heartbreaking vibe, and work with the funky backings almost like a classic tune by Ann Peebles ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Big Crown, 2018. New Copy ... $5.99 9.98
Sweet soul from a contemporary group – one who work with just the right blend of falsetto and funky on "This Is My Story"! "Blue Light" is even more laidback – with a lightly-tripping groove and guitar line that feel lifted right from the east coast sweet soul scene ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Ubiquity, 2019. New Copy (pic cover)... $4.99 9.98
A spare funky instrumental from Nobody – just rumbling drums and a moody bassline – with lots of fuzzy guitar getting weird over the top – a bit like Spacemen 3 cutting a funk single! "Velvet Cove" has bassy beats and keyboards – a vibe that feels like it's taken ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Timmion (Finland), 2018. New Copy ... $5.99
Massive drums really get this one going – a hard, heavy, almost-classic drum break that begins the tune – and sounds great next to the more easygoing vocals of Willie West – as he brings a great deep soul touch to the tune, alongside this floating flute played by Jimi Tenor! ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Transistor Sound, 2018. New Copy ... $4.99 8.98
A fantastic take on the classic "Beggin" – a lost Four Seasons tune from the 60s that's gone onto much greater fame in recent years! The Monophonics present the tune in a way that keeps all the glory of the original – from the funky drums, to the romping keyboards, to the ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Gearbox, 1963. New Copy (pic cover)... $5.99 11.98
A never-issued performance of this classic tune from the Thelonious Monk songbook – recorded for Danish Radio in 1963, and played by the legendary quartet that featured Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, John Ore on bass, and Frankie Dunlop on drums! The quality is right up there with some of the ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Garrison/Outta Sight (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy ... $5.99
A great back-to-back set of Northern soul! "Carlena" is a hard-rolling groover by Just Brothers – an obscure 60s harmony combo with a rough edge that's just right for the groove!

Philadelphia International/Expansion (UK), 1978. New Copy ... $5.99
"Ain't No Time Fa Nothing" is one of the greatest tracks ever to come out of the Philly stable, and it's certainly the best track ever that was cut by this east coast vocal group!

Big Crown, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99 9.98
The Lively Set take on "Blues Get Off" with a great 60s Texas vibe – fast drums, tight horns, and a soaringly soulful vocal that hardly fits the blue theme of the lyric!

Star Creature, 2018. New Copy ... $3.99 10.00
Spacey club soul from DJ Friction's Ground Control project – and another win for Chicago's Star Creature label!

Pride/Mr Bongo (UK), Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99 9.98
Two great cuts from the Pride Records label – both hip and funky!

Tramp (Germany), Early 70s. New Copy ... $5.99

Preservation Project, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $3.99

Numero, Early 60s. New Copy ... $2.99
Sweet girl pop from Bernadette Carroll!
