A great one from Melba Moore – an early groover with a stepping, soaring feel!

Risin’ To The Top/RCA/Expansion (UK), 1982. New Copy ... $9.99

Sylvia Striplin —
Give Me Your Love/Expansion (UK), 1980. New Copy ... $9.99
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.

Bout To Blow/Tramp (Germany), 2018. New Copy ... $9.99
A raw funky soul blast from Lucky Brown & The SGs!

Never Be Another You/Big Crown, 2017. New Copy ... $6.99 7.98
