No Wahala Sounds (UK), Early 70s. New Copy ... $8.99
Two great tracks by this group from Sierra Leone! "Temedi Oh" has this fast-moving groove that's totally wonderful – followed by guitar that riffs along in quick time with the pulsating bass, and topped with a vocal call that's like icing on the cake! "Den Kick" is a bit ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Cordial (UK), Late 70s. New Copy ... $11.99
"Malik" is a great little track – one that seems a bit laidback at first, but which soon takes off with instrumental interplay that's complex, but still very groovy – bass, horns, and keyboards all dancing together with lots of sharp jazzy changes – only breaking a bit ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Trio (Japan), 1977. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $24.99
Two of the coolest, grooviest tracks ever recorded by Lorez Alexandria – back to back on a Japanese-only 45!

Strictly Rhythm/Get On Down, 1992. New Copy ... $9.99 10.98

Fast funky grooves from The Apostles – one of the few 70s Afro combos who could maybe go head to head with the sharpest American funk acts of the time!

Big Crown, 2016. New Copy ... $8.99
A wicked set of funky steel drums – a bad-stepping number from the Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, and just the kind of hard funk cut we're always digging for on steel drum records!

The ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Ric Tic, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Classic Detroit independent soul from one of the greatest singers of the city never to make it big – except amongst soul collectors. Both tracks are great, but "Say It" is the groover here. Don Davis and JJ wrote both sides, and Davis handled most of the production. 7-inch, Vinyl record

Baroque Jazz Trio —
Orientasie/Saravah/Souffle Continu (France), 1970. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $11.99

Tramp (Germany), Early 70s. New Copy ... $7.99
A really moody funk track, with a very unusual vibe!

Perception/BBE (UK), 1971/1972. New Copy ... $11.99
An early stunner from Black Ivory – a great groover, done with kind of a bouncy lilting groove that has lots of bass, and a good mix with the group's harmony vocals!

International Anthem, 2017. New Copy ... $6.99
A fantastic track from this ultra-hip Chicago group – very spiritual in terms of the lyrics and soulful vocals, but also given a very cool crackle, thanks to some killer work on drums and percussion!

Athens Of The North (UK), Early 80s. New Copy ... $7.99
There's some sweet 80s basswork on this one – that kind of dipping pedal groove that's peppered with plenty of keyboards – all making for this bright, crackling sound that gets plenty of deeper soul elements from Bobby Boyd's vocals!

Athens Of The North (UK), Late 70s. New Copy ... $7.99
Two rare groovers from Bobby Boyd! "Love Goddess" has this great sort of building vibe at the start – a bit like the way the "Shaft" theme rolls in, but totally different too – especially when Bobby hits the great lyric in the lead! "Good News" is as ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Daptone, 2018. New Copy ... $5.99 8.99
A compelling cut from the late Charles Bradley – a track that's got a vibe that's maybe more rocksteady than some of the other work you may know from the deep soul singer – this great Jamaican vibe that seems to unlock a whole new side of his talents! "Strike Three" follows ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Four Flies (Italy), Early 70s. New Copy (pic cover)... $13.99
Two sweet funky tracks from Braen & Raskovich – a mysterious studio duo that features some extra-heavy drums from Giuliano Sorgini! The drums alone here are great – but they're also topped by a weir spooky keyboard that's billed as a "Hammond C3" on the cover – ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Brainstory —
Dead End/Big Crown, 2019. New Copy ... $8.99 9.99
Contemporary sweet soul from Brainstory – a cut that has this lightly tripping groove with a nice sparkle around the guitar – this warm quality that's really matched by the fragile, heartbreaking vocals in the lead!

Breakdown Brass —
Mary Jane/Mixto, 2016. New Copy (reissue)... $8.99 9.98
The Breakdown Brass take on Rick James' "Mary Jane" – turning the whole cut into a horn-heavy instrumental, with a groove that's more 70s funk than the vintage of Rick's original tune! The whole thing comes off great – the horns really hold onto the hook – and the ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Chess/Third Man, 1951. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99 6.98
A classic track that some folks claim was one of the first-ever rock and roll records – but which, to our ears, just sounds like some killer R&B!

(Great Third Man pressing – with a vintage-style Chess sleeve too!)
Trio (Japan), 1974. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $24.99

Dud Sound, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Ahh . . . For the days of the streaking single! Arelean was an obscure blues singer from Chicago's west side – but she's forever famous among funk fans for this groovy little number.

(Green label pressing.)
King, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A great little soul number from James – backed with a really great b-side! "Don't Be A Drop Out" begins with these riffing horns, going high then dropping low, almost in a "Monkey Time" mode.

Two rare Atlantic funk tracks – on vinyl for the first time!

Karen, Late 60s. Very Good ... $14.99
Two northern soul killers form The Capitols! "We Got A Thing" is a shameless follow-up to "Cool Jerk" – but we don't care, because the cut grooves great, and has some really wonderful drums at the beginning. "Tired" begins with some great drums, too – but ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Promo.)
Karen, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $11.99
Excellent work from one of the best Detroit groups of the 60s! Both tracks move way past their "Cool Jerk" hit – but still have the same fire and soul of that one. Ollie McLaughlin produced, and the whole thing swings nicely! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Kent/Deep Soul (UK), 1968. New Copy ... $6.99 14.99
James Carr may not have cut the famous version of "These Arms Of Mine" – but he does a superb job here on the classic – really hitting the tune with his best deep soul energy, and maybe even a bit more sadness than on the Otis Redding hit! "Let's Face Facts" is ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Numero, Early 60s. New Copy ... $2.99
Sweet girl pop from Bernadette Carroll!

Mar V Lus, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $5.99
Classic hard-grooving Alvin Cash – with that early Mar V Lus sound that feels like it was recorded at the bottom of a well!

Alvin Cash & The Registers —
Doin' The Ali Shuffle/Mar V Lus, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Alvin Cash pays tribute to Cassius Clay – screaming his way through the cut in a way that pre-dates most other Ali tribute songs, grooving away in that hard funky groove that you'd find on his best 60s work. "Feel So Good" is great, too – a heavy R&B stomper with a "T ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Toddlin Town, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $13.99
One of Alvin's funkiest tracks ever, and a killer groove put together at the end of the 60's with the funky Scott Brothers Orchestra backing him up.

Expansion (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $7.99
A mighty sweet groove from Chuck Cissel – a singer who's got a way of soaring with the groove – which is an approach that works perfectly here!

Aware, 1975. Near Mint- ... $7.99

Afro 7 (Estonia), 1975. New Copy ... $12.99
The bass in our speakers nearly jumped out of the box when we first started to play "What's Love" – a cut with this great bottom end that really gets things going, before riffing guitar builds a bridge to these cool exotic horns over the top!
