Star Creature/Tugboat Editions, 2019. New Copy ... $8.99
If you don't know by now, the Star Creature/Tugboat Editions camp are delivering some spaciest club grooves around – and this gem by Ourra and vocalist Alena is another gem!

Ramp —
Old One Two/Luv N' Haight/Ubiquity, Late 70s. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $10.99
Rare material from the legendary Ramp – two tracks produced by Roy Ayers after the group's classic first album – issued here on a limited 7" single! "Old One Two" sounds like something that would have been right at home on Come Into Knowledge – a bumping groover ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Dee Edwards —
Why Can't There Be Love/Luv N' Haight, Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $6.99 8.98
Funky work from Detroit's Dee Edwards – a tune that's almost a fuzzy take on earlier Motown soul modes – still romping, but with lots of trippy guitar around the edges – and echoey production that's almost got a Westbound vibe, as does the guitar! "I Can Deal With That" ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Kaleta & Super Yamba Band —
Mr Diva/Ubiquity, 2019. New Copy ... $6.99
"Mr Diva" has lots of raw Afro Funk rhythms – no diva drama at all, and instead this chugging, riffing groove that's totally great – peppered with horns, sewn up with organ, and topped with a nice rough-edged vocal! "Hungry Man Angry Man" is in similar rhythmic ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Parliaments —
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (studio instrumental takes 3 & 8) ... 7-inch Tuff City, 1967. New Copy ... $7.99 8.99
George Clinton's legendary group takes on the music of The Beatles – but at an instrumental level that features lots of wicked guitar from Eddie Hazel on the first take! The song gets a nicely chunky, nicely funky groove – and there's definitely enough difference in the two takes to ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Family Daptone/Daptone, 2019. New Copy ... $6.99
A fantastic bit of soul from the Daptone Family – a tune that has this mellow funk groove that almost takes us back to William DeVaughan – but which has these mighty righteous vocals from Charles Bradley, Lee Fields, and Sharon Jones! The flipside is a completely different side of the ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Limited edition Daptone Authorized Dealer exclusive version on clear vinyl!) This item will not be delivered to you before Friday, June 28.
Holy Hive —
Oh I Miss Her So/Big Crown, 2019. New Copy ... $8.99 9.99
High cresting vocals mix with light guitar on "Oh I Miss Her So" – before beats come in and deliver just the right undercurrent of funk for this sweet soul tune! The rhythms are more forward on "If I Could Se Her" – but the vocals still have that very moody, ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
True Loves —
Famous Last Words/Colemine, 2019. New Copy ... $5.99
True Loves come on strong with this one – horns blasting out with a joyous funky vibe before the drums and guitar even kick in – then dancing together with effortless energy that really keeps things moving! There's a nice percussion break in the middle – and the cut's backed by ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Brainstory —
Dead End/Big Crown, 2019. New Copy ... $8.99 9.99
Contemporary sweet soul from Brainstory – a cut that has this lightly tripping groove with a nice sparkle around the guitar – this warm quality that's really matched by the fragile, heartbreaking vocals in the lead! "Mnemophobia" has a title that's a bit headier, but a sound ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Ben Pirani —
Light Of My Life/Colemine, 2016. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99
The first single from neo-classic soul singer Ben Pirani! "Light Of My Life" does a pretty great job of melding old school styles, from organ and hand percussion, to richer, fuller sounds with horns and harmonies – but it's Ben's voice that gives it all the more credibility. "Dr ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Durand Jones & The Indications —
You & Me/Colemine, 2018. New Copy ... $6.99 7.98
The first new songs from Durand Jones & The Indications in a couple years! "You & Me" kicks off with a raw soul guitar before the sweet vocals, deft harmonies and drums kick in and it settles into a natural deep soul gem reminiscient of some of the great rare indie soul singles of ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Isaac Sasson —
Paseo En Un Sueno/Olindo (UK), 2019. New Copy ... $9.99
A soul stirring trio of tracks by Caracas-based multi-instrumentalist & composer Isaac Sasson! The first side's "Paseo En Un Sueno" and "Cancion Para M Familia, Venezuela" flow one the the next a seamless, pretty much perfect way – beginning with gentle strings and ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Jose Curbelo —
La La La (A Le Le E)/Fiesta, Mid/Late 50s. Very Good+ ... $6.99
... 7-inch, Vinyl record

Count Basie —
Green Onions/Brunswick, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $8.99
The Count takes on some 60s soul numbers – and the results are great! "Green Onions" is done here with piano instead of organ – over a slow-stepping, very sly groove that's got a real Soul Cargo sort of feel! "Hang On Sloopy" has almost a Ramsey Lewis groove at ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Includes jukebox strip.)
David Harris —
Moments/Pleasure, 1974. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A great mellow soul tune! "Moments" is sad, dreamy, and really wispy – floating around with some spare harmonies behind David's lead, in a style that's almost in the falsetto mode of east coast groups, but sparer and deeper. The flip isn't that great. 7-inch, Vinyl record
Elijah & The Ebonies —
Hot Grits!!!/Capsoul, 1974. Near Mint- ... $39.99
The kind of stuff that funky 45 dreams are made of! Both sides are smoking instrumentals with lots of choppy guitar, heavy drums, and cool cool organ. "Hot Grits" has a nice chugging groove, and the band screams "Hot Grits" on the chorus. One of our favorites! 7-inch, Vinyl record
Alvin Cash & The Scott Bros Orchestra —
Keep On Dancing (voc, inst) ... 7-inch Toddlin Town, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $13.99
One of Alvin's funkiest tracks ever, and a killer groove put together at the end of the 60's with the funky Scott Brothers Orchestra backing him up. The track's got a razor-sharp guitar that chops through the whole thing with amazing precision – and the instrumental side has some nice funky ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Pink label pressing.)
Lyn Collins —
Me & My Baby Got A Good Thing Going/People, 1972. Near Mint- ... $9.99
An excellent hard-to-find track by Lyn Collins! "Me & My Baby" has a wonderful gospelly intro, similar to "Message to the Soul Sisters", which then leaps into a great groove with a nice hard soul hook! The flip has sort of a nice Muscle Shoals-ish sound, with some good ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Brighter Side of Darkness —
Because I Love You/Star Vue, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... $8.99
Early stuff by this great Chicago band of young group singers. Best known for their hit "Love Jones" (which is still pretty tough to find), they're right in the pocket on this one, with two great mellow soul group ballads. 7-inch, Vinyl record
Bobby Jameson —
Vietnam (voc, inst) ... 7-inch Mira/Kent (UK), Late 60s. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Vietnam was a terrible war, but it did give the world some fantastic songs – like this raw, gritty number from Bobby Jameson – a tune that's clearly a takeoff on the Bo Diddley style of rhythm, but which has a much more powerful message! Drums are pounding and full of echo, cut through ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
