Two of the more obscure numbers that Ripple cut at the time of their first album – but both nice! "Willie" is a fast chugging funk number, with the title as the catchy vocal refrain on the chorus. "Get Off" is even better – with fast vamping wah wah guitar, organ rolling in, and lots of horns over the top, in a Wood Brass & Steel kind of mode! © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Yellow label pressing.)
Near Mint - (minus)
- Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
- Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
- One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
- May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
- May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
- Possible minor surface noise when played.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Rufus Thomas
Do The Funky Penguin (Parts 1 & 2)Stax, 1971. Very Good+
Funky funky Rufus! This one's a monster – with great drums, rolling bass, and riffing guitar that scratches up the whole dark track to keep it nice and funky! Rufus' vocals hardly get in the way, and the cut's one of his funkiest ever! 7-inch, Vinyl record
Jackie Edwards & Soulmakers
Vamp/Daran, Early 70s. Near Mint-
Excellent trippy instrumentals from Chicago! "The Vamp" has some great chromatic guitar – a bit like Cal Green, with touches of Wes Montgomery – over a hard rolling organ on the beat groove. Tasty stuff – the kind of single that would blow the speakers off your jukebox ... 7-inch, Vinyl record
People, 1973. Very Good+
2 killers by the JBs! "Doing It To Death" is one of their best tracks from the early days – with a funky riffing sound you'll know immediately. "Everybody Got Soul" is an excellent party track with a great Maceo solo – lots of grooves, and the band is tight tight ... 7-inch, Vinyl record
Cliff Nobles
Judge Baby, I'm Back/Phil-LA Of Soul, Late 60s. Very Good+
Two stormin' 60's soul cuts, with a "Horse" dance groove in a follow-up to Cliff's big hit. "Judge Baby" has a goofy vocal refrain, with a bit of a Pigmeat Markham feel. "Horse Fever" is an instrumental – and a nice one at that! 7-inch, Vinyl record
Chakachas
Jungle Fever/Polydor, 1973. Very Good+
Massive funkiness from the early 70s! "Jungle Fever" is one of those cuts that we never tire of – with pounding slow funk drums that still send a shiver down our spine. "Cha Ka Cha" is a slow Latin groover – with almost an LA Chicano funk sound. 7-inch, Vinyl record
People, Early 70s. Near Mint-
A classic JBs single – with a non-LP b-side! "Gimme Some More" is a stone classic by the group – a proud and stomping funk song, with a catchy refrain that starts from the first beat, and which really wails as the tune goes on! "Rabbit" is a rare one with an ... 7-inch, Vinyl record
Joe Simon
Moon Walk (parts 1 & 2)Sound Stage 7, Late 60s. Very Good-
A great little number from Joe – very different than most of his other stuff! As you might guess by the "part 2", the tune's a funk number – one that's got a vamping horn heavy sound, with a tight snapping drum knocking away underneath. Joe's never sounded so funky! 7-inch, Vinyl record
Cadet, Early 70s. Very Good-
Killer cut! This massive acid funk bit of trippiness was recorded by the obscure group Fugi – who later went on to become Mer-Da, and Black Merda. It's their one and only release on Chess, and it's got a killer fuzzy funk bassline, chanted trippy vocals, and a very very acid groove. It's ... 7-inch, Vinyl record
James Brown
Escape-Ism (parts 1, 2, 3)People, Early 70s. Very Good+
A killer early funky track by James and The JBs – and one that has that perfect improvised funk groove that the band was honing at the time. The band vamps in the background with a nice choppy riff – while James raps over the top, goading them on, and driving them onto new funky ... 7-inch, Vinyl record
Norman Connors
Once I've Been There/Buddah, 1977. Very Good+
A standout classic from the legendary 70s soul years of Norman Connors – a tune that's maybe one of his most dancefloor-oriented numbers, but also a lot deeper than most of the disco generation too! The great Prince Phillip Mitchell sings lead vocals – soaring to the skies on waves of ... 7-inch, Vinyl record
