A wicked slow funk number from Fat Night – haunting, moody, and very very compelling! There's a slightly trippy feel to the track – maybe from the heavy echo used on the vocals – but the core groove of stepping guitar and drums almost takes us back to the best mellow harmony cuts ...

Garland Green's great remake of this classic! He sings it with a nice deep Chicago soul style, augmented by some of the slightly modern/southern style production of the Spring label. "You & I Go Good" is even better, though – a sweetly stepping number that follows in the ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Spring sleeve with light pencil. Labels have some pen.)

A bona-fide club classic – and the standout classic of the South Shore Commission! The tune's got a stepping soulful approach that's early Philly club at its best – the early days of disco, when there was still plenty of soul in the mix! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Massive funk from Stars Of Liberty – a tune that's got this great snapping drum, matched by a fast-riffing guitar – while the righteous vocals move at a slightly different pace, to a really cool gimmick on the chorus! Eye Q serves up "I'm Not Selfish" on the flipside – ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
