Capitol/Expansion (UK), 1977. New Copy ... $12.99
One of the greatest songs ever from the amazing Rance Allen – a set that mixes his magnificent vocals with the soaring soul talents of The Mizell Brothers! Rance and his group sounded great on earlier albums for Stax Records, but they really take off here – with riffing guitar on the ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Columbia/Expansion (UK), 1972. New Copy ... $9.99
Early solo work from Patti Austin – rare material cut for Columbia Records before her late 70s fame! "Are We Ready For Love" soars out of the gate at a level that's almost Northern Soul, but with perhaps a bit more of a righteous undercurrent – which Patti definitely picks up ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Uno Melodic/Expansion (UK), 1981. New Copy ... $9.99
A hot slice of early 80s, post-disco soul produced by Roy Ayers! On "I Know You Care", Ethyl uses a sexy, breathy, Minnie Riperton kind of approach that accents the deep thumping bass, drums and claps, and the scratchy guitar very nicely! Overall the track has a bit poppier of a sound ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Willie Bobo —
Always There/Columbia/Expansion (UK), 1978/1979. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Ronnie Laws may have had the first hit version of "Always There", but Willie Bobo's is a great one too – with a slightly Latin tinge that takes the cut to a whole new level, adding in some extra percussion to make its jazz funk grooves stand up on end!

Keni Burke —
Risin' To The Top/RCA/Expansion (UK), 1982. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A massive jam from Keni Burke – easily his greatest tune ever, and the kind of track we'd hardly have imagined back when he was a little tyke in the Five Stairsteps! The track's got a thumping, stomping kind of groove that really gets going from the start – and the vocal hook is a ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Jean Carn —
My Love Don't Come Easy/
Philadelphia International/Expansion (UK), 1979/1981. Used (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Classic late Philly! "My Love Don't Come Easy" is a great mellow groover from Jean – with a totally excellent hook, and a sweet jazzy vibe that has a full, warm, rich soul feel. The flipside is a duet with Glenn Jones, which has more of an 80s popish quality, but still some nice ... (Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Was That All It Was/Philadelphia International/Expansion (UK), 1976/1979. Used (reissue)... Out Of Stock
2 of Jean Carn's best tracks for Philly! Both cuts show Jean at her soulful best – with the kind of perfectly sensitive backing that Philly International gave her, which mixed jazz and soul, augmented with a nice clubby groove to keep things pumping. The single's a must-have for fans of ... (Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

2 rare sides from this overlooked 70s soul singer! Both sides are written by Leon Huff, and are put together in a way that bring out her soulful side a lot more than later work. "If You Move" is a great groover with a complicated approach – a bit jazzy, and in that sophisticated ... (Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Expansion (UK), 1975/1976. New Copy (reissue)... $12.99
Coke Escovedo always warms our heart with his 70s classic "I Wouldn't Change A Thing" – an amazing track that has a funky fusion flavor and almost a Larry Mizell-styled groove – compressed keyboards and guitar riffing away beautifully next to Coke's conga lines – all ...

Ain't No Time Fa Nothin'/Philadelphia International/Expansion (UK), 1978. New Copy ... Out Of Stock

Uno Melodic/Expansion (UK), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $6.99
A sweet little rarity from Bobbi Humphrey – a rare single cut for Roy Ayers' Uno Melodic label, and a great blend of Bobbi's jazzy style with Roy's warmly sublime groove! There's a bit more vocals than flute on the track, but that's a-ok with us – and Roy produced, while Bobbi arranged! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record

Two of our favorite albums by The Main Ingredient – back to back on a single CD!

Overlooked Columbia Records work from Jackie Moore – two great albums on a single CD!

Incredible soul jazz from the great Pharoah Sanders – two great numbers from his post-Impulse Records years!
