Lee Fields & The Expressions —
It Rains Love/
Big Crown, 2019. New Copy ... $8.99
A cracker from the legendary Lee Fields – a tune that takes things at a nicely easygoing pace in the rhythms, with loads of excellent El Michels production touches – which leaves Lee right out front to crackle the lyrics with a hell of a lot of charm! "Will I Get Off Easy" ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Kelly Finnigan —
I Don't Wanna Wait/Colemine, New Copy ... $6.99
A nice solo single from Monophonics singer Kelly Finnigan – stepping out nicely on the slow funk ballad "I Don't Wanna Wait" – a cut that's got lots of wonderful 70s sweet soul touches on the production, but funky drums at the core! Finnigan moves nicely between deep and ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Ghost Funk Orchestra —
Walk Like A Motherf***er/Karma Chief/Colemine, 2018. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $8.99
These guys have a great little name – as the music is funky, but also has this nice sort of spooky vibe! There's lots of echo around the edges, which continues as the female vocal comes into play – almost making the whole thing feel like some lost vocal number from a movie on the late ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Black vinyl pressing.)
Gripsweats —
Gripsweats Theme/Colemine, 2018. New Copy ... $5.99
The Gripsweats have themselves a great little theme here – a slow funk number that takes a nice long time setting up the groove – then tops the whole thing with this climbing/descending horn part that sets up a really moody vibe! Fuzz guitar electrifies the tune, and there's some nice ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Black vinyl pressing.)
Wesley Bright & The Honeytones —
Happiness/Colemine, 2018. New Copy ... $5.99
The bass moves fast, the guitar riffs faster, and the voals of Wesley Bright are really fantastic – crackling nicely as he soars over the top of "Happiness" – a tune with more sadness than you might expect, but in a really great way! "You Don't Want Me" slows things ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Nico Collins & The Soul Chance —
Give Love A Try/Colemine, 2018. New Copy ... $5.99 7.99
A sweet rocksteady groove from Nico Collins & The Soul Chance – a contemporary group who share a lot with Jr Thomas & The Volcanos – both a love of older Jamaican modes, and their placement on Colemine Records! Nico's got a sweeter vocal approach than Jr – which really ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Kool & Together —
Sittin On A Red Hot Stove/Big Crown, Early 70s. New Copy ... $8.99 9.99
Two rare grooves from this legendary group! "Sittin On A Red Hot Stove" is a slow-stepping monster – very hard and funky, but moving at a pace that's much more leisurely than anyone who's getting themselves burned on a grill! The tune's got a completely badass vibe that's almost ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Flying Stars Of Brooklyn NY —
My God Has A Telephone/Colemine, 2017. New Copy ... $5.99 7.98
The debut single from a new project led by Aaron Frazier of Durand Jones & The Indications – but a record that feels like it could have been lifted from an underground gospel catalog of the 70s! "My God Has A Telephone" has this great gentle funky groove – slow-stepping, ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band —
PIMP/Big Crown, 2016. New Copy ... $8.99
A wicked set of funky steel drums – a bad-stepping number from the Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, and just the kind of hard funk cut we're always digging for on steel drum records! We hardly ever find gems this good though – as "Pimp" has these slow-snapping drums that make ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band —
Scorpio/Big Crown, 2016. New Copy (pic cover)... $8.99 9.98
The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band take on two classics from the old school – both with their trademark mix of steel drums and funk! "Scorpio" is the classic jam from Dennis Coffey – taken in a way here that's completely different, as the drums take on the guitar parts – ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Jungle Fire —
Firewalker/Colemine, 2012. New Copy ... $5.99
Fast guitar steps out quick on "Firewalker" – setting a groove that's followed by fast congas and some heavy riffing horns – all burning together with just the right sort of intensity you'd guess from the group's name! "Chalupa" continues with a sweet tropical ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Jungle Fire —
Comencemos (Let's Start)/Colemine, 2012. New Copy ... $5.99
A killer – and one of those tunes you'd swear you heard back in the day – but which is even greater given that it's a contemporary recording! There's a bursting power to "Comencemos" that almost feels like "Jungle Boogie"-era Kool & The Gang – a way of ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats feat Ike Turner —
Rocket 88/Chess/Third Man, 1951. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99 6.98
A classic track that some folks claim was one of the first-ever rock and roll records – but which, to our ears, just sounds like some killer R&B! Jackie Brenston wasn't actually the lead act – he was just the singer for Ike Turner's group at the time – but the cut was ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Great Third Man pressing – with a vintage-style Chess sleeve too!)
Charmells/Kent/Deep Soul (UK), 1967. New Copy ... $11.99 14.99
A beautiful tune from The Charmells – one of the lesser-known acts on Stax/Volt in the 60s – but also one of the best! The girls have fantastic harmonies on "I've Done It Again" – a slow-stepping number that has a nicely jazzy flourish at times – quite different ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Muddy Waters —
She's All Right/Chess/Third Man, 1953. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99
A fantastic Muddy Waters track from the early 78rpm years – a tune that's got this unbelivable folding together of fuzzy guitar and hypnotic vocals – almost a trance-like take on Chicago blues, and proof that even at the start, Muddy was onto something new! "Sad Sad Day" is ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Beautiful reissue pressing – even in a vintage-style Chess sleeve!)
Muddy Waters —
Rollin Stone/Chess/Third Man, 1950. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99
A classic early tune from Muddy Waters – one that might not have changed the world when it was released at the start of the 50s – but later gave the famous group their name! The tune's a wonderful mix of raw rural and early electric Chicago blues modes – spare, but extremely ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Beautiful reissue pressing – even in a vintage-style Chess sleeve!)
Muddy Waters —
Manish Boy/Chess/Third Man, 1954. New Copy (reissue)... $5.99
Maybe one of the most famous Muddy Waters songs ever recorded – served up here in all its fantastically raw glory! The tune's got Waters playing a famous electric guitar vamp that may well have become the blueprint for countless bar bands to come – but serving up the lyrics with a wit ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Beautiful reissue pressing – even in a vintage-style Chess sleeve!)
Emma DeAngelis —
Emma DeAngelis EP (Forgiveness/Finders Keepers (UK), Early 70s. New Copy (pic cover)... $13.99
You might know the DeAngelis name from other funky Italian work of the 70s – thanks to the soundtrack genius of Guido & Maurizio DeAngelis – but this DeAngelis is their sister Emma, who had a much shorter career – but one that was equally groovy overall! The set begins with ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Limited to 1000 copies.)
Krzysztof Komeda with Bernt Rosengren —
Knife In Water ... 7-inch Polskie Nagrania/Cacophonic (UK), 1961. New Copy (pic cover)... $12.99
A seminal moment in Polish jazz – and in the soundtrack career of Krzystof Komeda, too! The rare EP features reedman Bernt Rosengren working with Komeda's trio – laying down amazing music from the film Knife In Water – but in a live performance from the the 1961 Jazz Jamboree ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Fred Hughes —
You Can't Take It Away/Vee Jay, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $6.99
2 great Freddie Hughes numbers from his short-lived Vee Jay days! "You Can't Take It Away" is a Richard Parker number – done in a snapping, stepping sort of groove that has plenty of horns on the top, dark piano on the bottom, and incredible vocals from Freddie all the way through! ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(With ARP stamp.)
Saucy Lady —
It's All Here (main, Shiro Schwarz rmx) ... 7-inch Star Creature, 2018. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Nice modern clubby disco on Star Creature from Saucy Lady & U-Key! "It's All Here" kicks off with a lean, electro boogie backdrop that's compelling on its own, but once the the genuinely soulful vocals by Saucy Lady come in, along with more layered production touches, it really cuts a ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
