Kent/Deep Soul (UK), Early 70s. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
Two deep soul burners – both penned by the legendary Sam Dees! "Paper Man" is one of those cuts that starts slow, then really grabs you – like some of the best Soul Children work of the time – and Sam himself really knocks it out of the park on the flipside – the ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Phil-LA Of Soul, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $39.99
Although the single isn't as funky as the name of Tyrone's band would imply, both sides are excellent! "Let Me Be" is a mellow soul track, with a great harmony-sounding backing. And "I Want My Baby" is killer loping midtempo soul, with a soaring chorus that just won't quit! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo.)
Kent (UK), Late 60s. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99
A really romping single from the lesser-known Connie Austin – a cut that's as funky as is soulful, with a set of backings that comes down right on the money, while a little conga line kicks things right back over the top! The approach allows Connie's vocals to really soar – giving the ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Two rare KPM sound library grooves – back to back on a single piece of wax!

Great 70s harmonies from Classic Example – soaring here over a tune that has so much warmth and charm, it's hard to believe it's about a breakup!

A mid-60s cut from The Corvairs – one that's definitely soul in construction, but which also has all the complex interplay of earlier vocal group material – almost as if doo wop harmonies have been refitted in a 60s sort of mode!
