Renee, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Always great work from Cicero Blake – and like his other work, a single that crosses genres nicely! Cicero's deep soul vocals are set up with sweeter horns on "Take It From Me" – and the tune soars along with an airy style that's really unique – almost uptown soul meets ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Love Jones/20th Century, 1972. Very Good ... $3.99
A killer bit of harmony soul – one of the greatest of the genre from the 70s!

Cold Sweat (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch King, Late 60s. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
Classic funkiness! This is a monster groover by The Godfather – and one of those tracks you've got to take in 2 parts, because there's just too much sheer raw power for 1! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Ace (UK), Mid 50s. New Copy ... $6.99
A hard-romping single – one that presents the first takes of both of these R&B classics! Roy Brown is at his most hard-wailing on "Boogie At Midnight" – a tune that grooves along mightily in the best King Records style – heavy rhythms, raw vocals, and a great sax ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Truth/Stax, 1974. Very Good+ ... $6.99
The birth of a genre! "Woman To Woman" is an incredible tune with an archetypal lyric – Shirley's digging through her old man's pockets, finds a phone number, calls it and confronts his girlfriend – all in a long monologue at the beginning, which then runs into a great vocal ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Mercury, 1973. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Great stuff from Roy C – two warm and wonderful southern soul tunes! "Don't Blame The Man" has a slightly percolated groove and some lyrics that are about as catchy as you'd guess from the title.

Capitols —
Cool Jerk/Karen, Mid 60s. Very Good- ... $6.99
One of the hardest soul hits of the 60s! The cut's got a rolling piano and bass groove that's simply sublime – made even better because the horns didn't show up for the session, so the vocals and piano carry all the grooves, making the track work harder than most of its contemporaries from ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

A great mix of Brazilian rhythms, jazz, and a hip 70s European sensibility – served up here with lead vocals from the young Salome De Bahia, and lots of great percussion, piano, and guitar interplay throughout! The rest of the group harmonize with Salome at times – and the track starts ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Lyn Collins —
Me & My Baby Got A Good Thing Going/People, 1972. Very Good+ ... $3.99
An excellent hard-to-find track by Lyn Collins! "Me & My Baby" has a wonderful gospelly intro, similar to "Message to the Soul Sisters", which then leaps into a great groove with a nice hard soul hook! The flip has sort of a nice Muscle Shoals-ish sound, with some good ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Jay Walking, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... $39.99
One of the most overlooked groups of the east coast scene of the early 70s – but a great one! "The Way I Love You" has some stellar stellar harmonies, and a rolling conga-driven groove that's sort of in the pre-club vein! The flip's even better, though – and is a wonderful ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Newmiss, Early 70s. Near Mint- ... $6.99
Sublime stuff! "I Don't Know" is a great deep soul harmony cut – rolling into a midtempo groove from the intro like a rare Stax gem, with some great guitar and organ riffing along with the vocals, which are sung in a mode that's raspy and sweet at the same time!

Gamble, Late 60s. Very Good- ... $6.99
Beautiful Philly harmonies from The Cruisers! "I Need You So" is mellow and moody – and banks the harmonies against some fuller strings directed by Bobby Martin! "Take A Chance" is upbeat and really soaring – electric bass underneath the strings, and vocals ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Two incredible tracks from keyboardist Wolfang Dauner – both a mad mix of funky jazz and psychedelic elements!

Cadet, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $3.99
2 great tracks from the Dells' best years! "I Can Sing A Rainbow" is a righteous semi-political cut that's mixed in a medley with "Love Is Blue", all set to stellar spacey Charles Stepney arrangements, and nice hard drums. "Hallelujah Baby" is a great one, too – ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Fortune, Late 50s. Very Good- ... $24.99
One of our favorite doo-wop tracks of all time! Nolan Strong and the Diablos do an incredible job with "The Wind" – making the cut slow, deep, sad, and dreamy – in a way that few other doo wop groups could match. "Baby Be Mine" is more of an uptempo number – ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
