Two of the coolest, grooviest tracks ever recorded by Lorez Alexandria – back to back on a Japanese-only 45!

A totally cool little record – a double 7" single that brings together 4 of the best tracks from the Coffy soundtrack of the 70s – that fantastic blacksplitation film that was Roy Ayers' entry into the genre! All the tracks are great – from the catchy funky soul of the theme ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Polydor/Dynamite Cuts (UK), Late 70s. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $15.99
Two gems from the legendary pairing of these two great 70s jazz funk giants!

Far Out (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy (pic cover)... $13.99
Two rare early tracks from Azymuth – both mighty nice! "As Curvas Da Estrada De Santos" is an instrumental take on a tune by the brothers Robert and Erasmo Carlos – but done as a slow-stepping funky instrumental, with loads of great organ work from Jose Roberto Bertrami! The ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Austin Boogie Crew, Mid 80s/2018. New Copy ... $2.99
Two rare 80s grooves from B – aka Brian K Morgan – served up here on a limited 45!

Checker, Late 60s. Very Good ... $4.99
2 great duets from the team of Fontella and Bobby – one of the lesser known pairs to record in the style for Chess! Both cuts are hard-hitting, sock-soul numbers – really grooving with a blend of southern deep and Chicago hard – coming off well in a mode that brings out the best ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Success, Late 60s. Very Good ... $2.99
A wonderful single from the deep soul genius Cicero Blake! "See What Tomorrow" has a lilting groove – almost uptown, but with rawer midwestern elements – and the hook is a compelling riff on the future, sung by Cicero in a style that's similar to Garnet Mimms, with a mix of ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Stax, Early 70s. Near Mint- ... $0.99
Obscure later work from Booker T! "Jamaica This Morning" has a slow grooving feel with plenty of "island" in the mix – guitar getting a bit rough in the middle, but mostly sweet organ bubbling along. "Fuquawi" is rougher and harder – kind of chugging and ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Normaltown, 2020. New Copy (pic cover)... $7.99 8.99
"Brother" is a tune with a classic vibe that really fits the spirit of the cover – slow funk at the core, with guitar that trips out nicely next to the rhythm – getting freaky and fuzzy while the righteous lyrics are buried down in the mix! "Luv N Pain" starts out ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Family Groove, Late 70s. New Copy ... $7.99
Two never-heard tracks from Brief Encounter – a wonderful southern group from the late 70s, and one whose other work is also pretty darn rare as well! "I Just Wanna Dance" is a clubby number, but warmed up with a sweet modern soul approach – nice harmony vocals on the lyrics, ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
MGM, 1974. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A solid killer from Johnny Bristol – one of his classic tracks of the 70s! "Hang On In There Baby" is half Marvin Gaye, half Barry White – with a soaring and righteous groove that's completely sublime. Grabs you from the first minute of the track's mellow groove, and makes ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Johnny Bristol —
Love Takes Tears/MGM, 1975. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
One of the best solos singles by Johnny Bristol! "Love Takes Tears" is an excellent mellow soul number – built around a groove that's almost like "Love's Theme" by Barry White, but graced with warm vocals by Johnny that give the tune a very catchy hook! "Go On & ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Johnny Bristol —
You & I/MGM, 1974. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
Killer stuff from Johnny Bristol! "You and I" is one of his best early tracks – and it begins with this tight hard drum sound that's right out of Barry White's best funky tracks, and which works perfectly for Johnny's sweet soul vocals! 7-inch, Vinyl record
GSF, 1973. Very Good ... $9.99
... 7-inch, Vinyl record
King, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $11.99
Beautiful soul from The Godfather, recorded in the period immediately after he discovered the choppy choppy guitar riff on the downbeat! Both parts swing hard hard hard, and the band is as tight as a pair of trousers after Thanksgiving! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Blue label pressing in a King sleeve.)
King, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $6.99
An undisputed groover! The track's a killer uptempo one from James' later years on King – and it's got this amazing beat that snaps along at a full deep stride. Very nice stuff, and the kind of tight grooving that would show up later in his work with the JBs – done here earlier, with ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Blue label pressing.)
King, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $6.99
An interesting single from James – featuring his super-huge hit of the mid 60s, but issued on a late 60s King label! The tune's a stone winner as always – and the flip is "mostly instrumental", with a vamp that virtually invented the funky vamp! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Blue label pressing.)
Polydor, 1974. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Nice stuff from James! "Public Enemy" is a wonderful track, with a long spoken monologue that shows a great side of James' progressive ideas. Nice message about heroin, and a good backing with a mellow feel. Even better is "My Thang", a nice hard funky track that's James' ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Kent (UK), Late 60s. New Copy ... $11.99
Maxine Brown and Chuck Jackson recorded some famous duets in the 60s – but here, each are featured as solo acts, on a great repressing of rare tracks! "I Wonder" is a very groovy number from Maxine – a bit more upbeat than some of her other work, and with a nice swing that's ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Ace (UK), Mid 50s. New Copy ... $11.99
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
Ace (UK), Early 60s. New Copy ... $11.99
Two very cool cuts from the Italian scene of the 60s! "Baluba Shake" is a romping little number with almost a tribal rhythm at the start – drums punctuated by plucked electric bass, before female vocals come into the mix and take the whole thing into heavy jerking territory! Rita ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Cacophonic (UK), 1969. New Copy (pic cover)... $13.99
A very cool group from the Belgian jazz scene of the 60s – one we've never heard before, but who we'll definitely be looking for after hearing this single! The lineup features the great Babs Robert on tenor, with Daniel Max Schellekens on guitar, Jean-Pierre Destree on vibes, Marial Van ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
BT Puppy/Ace (UK), 1969. New Copy ... $11.99
Two tracks from the enigmatic Brute Force – both recorded after his famous album on Epic, and even weirder than the material on that set!

Pye/Dynamite Cuts (UK), 1976. New Copy 2 x 7 inch set (pic cover, reissue)... $21.99
A very cool double 7" package – one that's filled with six cuts from the great crime film Diamonds! Heist films always provided some of the best soundtracks of the 70's, and this one (starring Robert Shaw and Richard Roundtree, and issued in the US as Diamond Shaft) is no exception! ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Pye/Dynamite Cuts (UK), 1974. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $14.99
A special EP version of this wonderful soundtrack from the great Roy Budd – a set that's got Roy on Fender Rhodes and clavinet – plus alto from Ronnie Scott, and some cool use of percussion by Frank Riccotti – in a way that's similar to the tablas on Budd's classic score for Get ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Pye/Dynamite Cuts (UK), 1973. New Copy 2 x 7 inch set (pic cover, reissue)... $21.99
A special double 7" package of one of the darkest Roy Budd scores ever – designed to accompany a brutal police film starring Charles Bronson! The main theme has a nice electronic sound that's kind of like the "Mystery Movie" theme from the 70s – then the score moves into ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

We're not sure how to translate "Baterasso" – but to us, the word may well just mean "funk" – as the tune's this funky monster with heavy drums, a great-paced bassline, and these claps that move all up and down the groove alongside some percussion! "Canottaggio& ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Elka, Mid 70s. Near Mint- ... $1.99
An obscure one – as Otis does a cover of Tyrone Davis' "Turn Back The Hands Of Time", grooving the track along with a sweet style that's got a bit of modern soul, and which has his voice sounding a lot stronger than on some of his Hi recordings.

Dennis Coffey's classic breakbeat track, with an intro that's been sampled more times that we can count – and a groove that's much harder to find on wax these days than it should be! Excellent stuff, with a choppy hard guitar groove, tight drums, and a nice rumbling conga that runs ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
