Follow Me (voc, dub) ... 7-inch 
Strictly Rhythm/Get On Down, 1992. New Copy ... $9.99 10.98
A nice smooth house track from Strictly Rhythm's salad days, with a nicely bouncing bassline – and one that was HUGE here in Chicago! There's this really moody keyboard line at the start – before the beats pump up and the vocals really get fantastic! 7-inch, Vinyl record
Grimace Federation —
Dotsero/Funk Night, 2019. New Copy (pic cover)... Just Sold Out!
Two offbeat funky numbers from Philly's Grimace Federation! "Dotsero" has this cool distortion along the groove – making the drums sound all messed up as they break at the start – then following with equally cool keyboards and vibes! "Starspots" has lots of cool ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Limited to 250 copies.)
Misha Panfilov & Shawn Lee —
Mic Wallace/Funk Night, 2019. New Copy (pic cover)... Just Sold Out!
A mighty pairing of funky talents – recording together in Estonia, with a style that really draws on the strengths of both musicians! "Mic Wallace" has some of the soundtrack vibes that Shawn Lee can sometimes bring into his music – but given all these moody, almost spooky ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Dorian Gray – Rito A Los Angeles/Four Flies (Italy), 1970. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $19.99
Two of the funkiest tracks from the Italian film version of Dorian Gray – both real standouts in a store that was mostly moody and spooky overall! The movie was titled Il Dio Chaimato Dorian – and really shines with "Rito A Los Angeles", a tune with heavy romping drums and ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Stelvio Cipriani —
Bersaglio Altezza Uomo – Titoli/Four Flies (Italy), 1979. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Always-great 70s music from Stelvio Cipriani – the Italian soundtrack maestro who got his start a bit later than some of his contemporaries, but followed through with a range of amazing sounds in the decade! This single brings together two of the best tracks from the film Bersaglio Altezza ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Stelvio Cipriani —
Femina Ridens/CAM/Four Flies (Italy), 1969. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... Just Sold Out!
The great title track to one of the best scores from Italian maestro Stelvio Cipriani – a tune that bursts out with funky drums that kick into soaring orchestrations, topped by this wicked female vocal from Olympia – whose singing style is as vibrant as the instrumentation! Edda Dell'Or ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Limited to 400 copies.)
Ugo Busoni/Four Flies (Italy), Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $16.99
Tight funky drums kick of "Rullio" – a wicked bit of sound library funk that has these really evil keyboards moving up and down – echoing a slasher horror edge, but with a lot more funk in the mix overall! "Violenza" has more great drums too – a bit more ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Limited to 350 copies.)
Daniela Casa/Four Flies (Italy), Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $16.99
We're not sure how to translate "Baterasso" – but to us, the word may well just mean "funk" – as the tune's this funky monster with heavy drums, a great-paced bassline, and these claps that move all up and down the groove alongside some percussion! "Canottaggio& ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Limited to 350 copies.)
Piero Umiliani —
Baba Yaga – Open Space/Four Flies (Italy), 1973. New Copy (pic cover)... $22.99
Piero Umiliani at his funkiest – with two great tracks from the Baba Yaga soundtrack!

(Limited edition of 500 – in sleeves that are varied!)
Ernest Ernie & The Sincerities —
Do Something/It's Soul Time, 2018. New Copy ... $10.99
A fantastic little single from Ernest Ernie – one that bumps along in a groove that reminds us of the best Chicago soul at the end of the 60s – that loping rhythm that's perfect for sweeter-styled vocals like Ernie's! The flipside's pretty fantastic too – graced with light ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Limited edition repress! Get it before it's gone!)
Jay Dee —
Rico Suave Bossa Nova (Mr Thing edit)/Alim (UK), Early 2000s/2019. New Copy ... $11.99
2 sides of classic era Jay Dee circa Welcome 2 Detroit – including a tight Mr. Thing edit! "Rico Suave Bossa Nova" has always been a stunner in the Dilla catalog – as diverse of a beatmaker and producer as he always was, the bossa beat and jazzy piano backdrop on this one ... (Hip Hop, Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Black Ivory/Perception/BBE (UK), 1971/1972. New Copy ... $11.99
An early stunner from Black Ivory – a great groover, done with kind of a bouncy lilting groove that has lots of bass, and a good mix with the group's harmony vocals! One of the funkiest from Fatback – "Goin' to See My Baby" is especially tough, and starts out with a massive ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Mel Torme/Outta Sight (UK), 1962. New Copy ... $11.99
A fantastic little number from Mel Torme – his hard-swinging, jazzed-up take on "Comin Home Baby" – a tune that's still maybe one of the most definitive vocal versions of the song! "Cry To Me" is one of the key calling cards of Solomon Burke in the 60s – a ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Chuck Jackson —
Silencer/Wand/Outta Sight (UK), Late 60s. New Copy ... $11.99
A cool one from Chuck Jackson – his take on the great theme song to the Matt Helm film "The Silencer" – but done in a romping soul style that's very different than the original! "Little By Little" is another upbeat number from Chuck – the kind of dancefloor ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Coke Escovedo —
I Wouldn't Change A Thing/Expansion (UK), 1975/1976. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
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 ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Baby Huey —
Hard Times/Soul Brother (UK), 1971. New Copy ... $12.99
One of the best-remembered tunes from this Curtom funk legend – a track that begins witht his famous break made from drums and fluttering flute – then rolls into a super-righteous lyric that's delivered with all the majesty that Baby Huey had to offer! "Listen To Me" is also ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Sylvia Striplin —
Give Me Your Love/Expansion (UK), 1980. New Copy ... $12.99
Massive! Sylvia Striplin is one of the all time groove favorites – not just because she's been sampled to death, but also because she's got an amazingly captivating style of slinky soul. Roy Ayers, Jamez Bedford, and Sylvia put this single together – and both tracks are great, the two ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
