Yep Roc, 2018. New Copy ... $11.99 19.99
A great combination of contemporary soul talents – the blue-eyed soul vocals of Eli Reed and the horn-heavy rhythms of the High & Mighty Brass Band! The setting's a nice one for Eli, and has a rootsy feel that you don't get on some of his other records – and in addition to the ... (Neo Soul, Deep Funk) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited edition – with download!)
Sharpeye (UK), 2018. New Copy ... $12.99
A contemporary set, but one that reaches back to the earlier years of the London funk scene – given that it not only features work from Gareth Tasker and Barrie Sharpe, but also includes contributions from members of Beggar & Co and 23 Skidoo!

Love In The Wind (colored vinyl pressing) ... LP Dunham/Daptone, 2018. New Copy ... $17.99 18.99
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

Favorite (France), 2018. New Copy ... $24.99
Great sounds from Andre Solomko – an artist who's been giving us some great 70s-styled music in recent years, and may well have topped himself with this fantastic set!

Gondwana (UK), 2018. New Copy ... $19.99
A very cool little combo – one that almost sounds like a funk band working with broken instruments!

F Spot, 2018. New Copy ... $20.99 22.98
These guys might just be a trio – with Hammond organ, guitar, and drums – but like the best lineups of their sort in the 60s, they already know how to do a heck of a lot with a little – and maybe even use the freedom of their lean lineup to be even more creative from a rhythmic ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Linear Labs, 2018. New Copy Gatefold ... $18.99 20.98
A very dreamy project from the mighty Adrian Younge – a special project that features two female singers in the lead, both working with this offbeat vibe that slightly recalls the way that Roy Ayers used female singers on some of his 70s records, especially the classic album by Ramp! Yet the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Linear Labs, 2009. New Copy ... $18.99 19.98
All the great instrumental moments from Adrian Younge's score to Black Dynamite – the recent film that was an excellent throwback to the blacksploitation classics of the 70s!
