The BCG is the Bob Crewe Generation – a sweet 70s disco ensemble led by the 60s soundtrack king.

A great lost record of minimalist club – a set that we'd rank right up there with classics by Arthur Russell, Liquid Liquid, or some of the other most creative talents on the New York scene at the start of the 80s! As with work by those other two artists, there's an experimental approach ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

"Searching" may well be the group's biggest hit – a quirky bit of pop that steps along nicely with vocals by Luther Vandross – but still sparkles years later with a great hook! "Angel In My Pocket" is a bit more conventional club – fuller and more in a disco ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Capitol, 1986. Very Good ... $3.99
Not quite up to par with "Atomic Dog" or any of his 70s output, this is still a respectable mid 80s commercial funk effort, with George kind of taking off on Cameo's take on his own sound. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Capitol sleeve.)
Cobbala, 1983. Very Good ... $43.99
A silly electro groover from the early 80s. Lots of keyboards that go "wheeeeet" – and the flipside has a message about Jesse Jackson, done in a psuedo rap style. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Fantasy, 1983. Very Good+ ... $19.99
The seminal electro cut "Clear" – laid down by a young Juan Atkins, with a groove that inspired the Detroit Techno scene in a huge way. Also includes "Industrial Lies", which was from Cybotron's first LP. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a plain black sleeve which has some peeling.)
Ubiquity, 2014. New Copy ... $9.99 12.98
An amazing bit of falsetto soul – and a tune that's become an anthem around Dusty Groove these days – given how many times we play it in the store! "Didn't I" has an infectious raspy guitar bit at the start, then rolls into harmony vocals, supporting Darondo's wickedly sharp ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Urban American, Early 80s. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A nice obscure Chicago modern soul single, with an obscure history. Gregory Bruce Finley owned a record store on 47th street on the south side, until the city tore down the block a few years ago as part of an urban renewal project. Although his main profession was that of a record store owner, ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Gold Mind, 1979. Very Good ... $6.99
"Love Thang" is a great little number by First Choice – lesser-remembered than some of their hits, but with a nice heavy beat at the bottom, bounced up a bit on this remix by Tee Scott! Tom Moulton handles the remix for "Great Expectations". 12-inch, Vinyl record

Biljuma, 1980. Very Good+ ... $69.99
A great little track – with a spacey, airy feel that's unusual for the time! The cut is co-produced by Jimmy Smith, and is almost more of a jazz funk one than a club number – with the mix of dancefloor rhythms and soaring jazz that you'd find on Jimmy's Sit On It album – but ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

West End, 1981. Very Good ... $7.99
An undisputed classic! The funky grooves of this early 80s single by Taana make it our favorite by her – and it's a non-stop killer that's served up here in a 9 and 6 minute version. Used as the sample for "Buddy" by De La Soul, and for a whole bunch of other tracks too! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a West End sleeve.)
Motown, 1986. Very Good (pic cover)... $1.99
At the time this was issued, these tracks had not yet been released, though they've subsequently shown up on a number of the expanded CD reissues that have been put out since this release. Sadly, the totally burning funk of "The World Is Rated X" gets buried a bit in the bad 80s ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Herbie at his most R&B oriented for the 70s – but also pretty darn great as well!

Like most of Jimmy Horne's best work, this is a nice dancefloor groover that sits somewhere between funk and disco. It's got tight Miami funk backing, and some good choppy guitar that goes well with the catchy vocal hook. 12-inch, Vinyl record

Spacey, jazzy, and wonderful – an upbeat funky club track that's got as much great instrumentation as it does vocals!
