Daptone, 2012. New Copy ... $15.99 19.99
Amazing sounds from one of the best funky combos anywhere – ever!

Black Velvet ... LP Dunham/Daptone, 2016. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The great Charles Bradley left this planet all too soon – and although we've got this final album of music to enjoy, it's only a partial consolation for Bradley's early departure!

Some of the deepest, heaviest work we've ever heard from the Budos Band – as you might guess from the album's dark title and cover!

You might know Cochemea Gastelum from his work in The Dap-Kings over the years – but this time around, the saxophonist is very much his own man – blowing a version of his instruments that often seems electrified, ala classic Varitone from the late 60s – used in these really new ...

Daptone, 2019. New Copy ... $5.99 6.99
A pair of raw gospel soul gems from the Como Mamas – gritty but beautiful songs from the Move Upstairs sessions just as worthy as any tracks on that records, but unreleased til this great single!

Desco/Daptone, 1999. New Copy (reissue)... On June 20, 2020
Killer funk! Amazing new release by Lee Fields, one of the 70's lost funky geniuses – and a record that sounds like it was lifted from the vaults of James Brown's People label, circa 1972!

Sweet, slow rolling funky soul on one side and more uptempo groove on the other!

Jason Joshua serves up some great raw vocals on "Canned Champagne" – a tune that should be more of a cold 40, given the raunchy grooves it serves up! There's plenty of riffing guitar, a blast of horns, and some nice organ too – all even more upfront on the instrumental mix. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
