Chilling Winter Night ... LP Funk Night, 2023. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
We know little about these guys – they might be Chinese, as promised by their press, they might not – but we can say that they've got a really great approach to funk, and one that opens up with a sound that's a lot sharper than you might guess from the cover image! Drums and bass are ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Badasonic, 2023. New Copy ... $18.99 19.99
A fierce funky group from the contemporary French scene – and one who've got a pretty darn great approach to soul as well! The guitar here is maybe a bit more raw and upfront in the mix than on other records of this nature, almost creating a mod soul vibe at times – but one that's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Cover has light wear and is bent a bit at the spine and bottom seam.)
Legere (UK), 2023. New Copy ... $23.99 26.99
Not just a live album from the great soul singer Myles Sanko, but one that showcases his talents with a full orchestral setting – as you might guess from the image on the cover! The setting unlocks this new sort of majesty in Myles' music – this soaring sensibility that's a real reward ... (Neo Soul, Deep Funk) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Belongs On A Place Called Earth ... LP Brownswood (UK), 2023. New Copy ... $25.99 27.99
A record that makes us go "Damn!" – and has us really falling in love with Secret Night Gang even more than on their debut – and we really liked that album a heck of a lot! This time around, the group have woven together this richly soulful vocal approach with laidback funk, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Love Can't Be Borrowed ... LP Record Kicks (Italy), 2023. New Copy ... $24.99 26.99
A great take on sweet soul sounds from the past – served up here by a mighty hip group who mix slow funky modes with some mighty nice vocals! The record's got a mix of deep funk production and some of the warmer qualities of east coast group soul from the New Jersey scene at the start of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Dunham/Daptone, 2018. Near Mint- ... $13.99 16.99
The cover sticker bills this one as sounding like a lost collaboration between the Beach Boys and Delfonics – although for our money, we'd lean a bit more towards the latter – as the Sha La Das have a surprisingly strong approach to harmony soul! Instrumentation and production are much ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Ocean blue vinyl pressing.)
Marlow, 2011. New Copy ... $20.99 24.99
One of the best funk albums of the 2010s – and one that really does an amazing job of putting equal emphasis on instrumentation and deep soul vocals!

Do Right (Canada), 2023. New Copy ... $19.99 22.99
The Soul Motivators have always been great, but this record really sends them over the top – stepping out with a force that's really well-conceived – and a richer soul vibe than just the usual sort of funk combo with a female singer! There's all these great touches in the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Soul Supreme —
Poetic Justice ... LP Soul Supreme (UK), 2023. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A killer album of funky keyboards – nice and lean, and with a style that's equal part funk and jazz – served up with lots of amazing clavinet lines in the lead! J-Zone is on the record handling drums, with a great influence from hip hop beats, but live energy that really makes the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Soul Tune, 2019. New Copy ... $18.99 20.99
Only the first full album on Soul Tune, and the label's got themselves a set of All-Stars – a Swedish combo who seem driven by the talents of Niclas Wretelid – who plays drums, bass, keyboards, and even horns – emerging here as a one-man all-star all by himself! Yet there's also ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Soul Tune, 2023. New Copy ... $22.99 24.99
Forget the Viking in the title – or maybe not entirely, as these guys are from Scandinavia – but the record's definitely not the stuff of longboats and looting, as the Soul Tune Allstars are a sharp-edged funky combo with very universal appeal! There's some rough-edged vocals on the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Do Right (Canada), 2007. Very Good+ ... $43.99 49.99
More Afro Funk than the soul jazz you might guess from the group's name – but that's OK with us, because the record's plenty darn great! Souljazz Orchestra are one of the best of the current wave of Afro combos to hail from Canada – and they manage to get an incredible full sound from ...

Blow It Hard/Freestyle (UK), 2003. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 29.99
Heavy funk from Speedometer – a UK power-combo who've really grown their sound over the years!

The group's expanded their lineup to feature some great horn ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Bella Union, 2022. New Copy ... $14.99 24.99
It's been many years since Ural Thomas recorded his first soul single – and if anything, the passage of time has only made his voice sound even more wonderful – with a contemporary richness that we never would have heard back at the start! The set's not the first "comeback" ... (Soul, Deep Funk) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes download!)
Cinedelic (Italy), 2023. New Copy ... $11.99 25.99
A really great little record – not what we expected at all, and filled with all these weird and wonderful touches! The core energy is jazz funk, but with some very offbeat twists – especially on the soprano sax lines from Guglielmo Pagnozzi, which are often processed, and come across ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Timmion (Finland), 2014. New Copy Gatefold ... $6.99 26.98
A new album from the great Willie West – an artist we love for his rare vintage New Orleans work of the 60s and 70s – still sounding surprisingly wonderful all these many years later! Willie's vocals have this raspy, honest charm that's totally great – and like Lee Fields during ... (Soul, Deep Funk) read more LP, Vinyl record album
F Spot, 2023. New Copy ... $22.99 24.99
The White Blinds serve up a heady brew of organ jazz here – a lean combo with tight drums, riffing guitar, and plenty of sweet lines on the Hammond organ – all captured at a level that's somewhere between Prestige Records soul jazz of the mid 60s, and Booker T & The MGs on Stax! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Soul Fire/Now Again, 2002. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $30.99 34.99
Whomp! These guys bring it all down on the beat – hitting harder than Cassius Clay at the Rome Olympics in '60, packing bass, guitar, drums & percussion into one funky punch – pounding out a hard heavy groove all the way through their entire debut LP! Of course, these guys have ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sessions Sounds, 2022. New Copy ... $22.99 24.99
A full funky set of tracks from Will Sessions – a record that more than lives up to the group's previous legacy, but also seems to take them into this cool cosmic territory – maybe even the "electromagnetic reality" promised in the title! There was always raw funk energy at ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Electromagnetic Reality ... CD 12.99
Timmion (Finland), 2005. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A bold step forward for the deep funk groove of Timmion Records – way more than just a "funk band meets diva" set, and instead a fully-formed soul record that's one of the greatest indies we've heard in years!

P-Vine (Japan), 2022. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $42.99 59.99
Keyboardist Bernie Worrell first rose to fame in the P-Funk universe of George Clinton – but as the decades moved on, he also became a very different sort of keyboardist overall – one with a lot more way out sounds than he ever would have contributed to a record by Funkadelic – as ...
