2 sides of the funky soul sound of Toronto's Wanye McGhie in the early 70s! "Love Is The Answer" have a more tightly snapping funk sound than you might from the tender hearted title, with really commanding vocals by McGhie – backed by a great group including members of The ...

Sublime stuff! "I Don't Know" is a great deep soul harmony cut – rolling into a midtempo groove from the intro like a rare Stax gem, with some great guitar and organ riffing along with the vocals, which are sung in a mode that's raspy and sweet at the same time! "Look What ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Monster funk – and one of the all-time great funky 45s! "Jan Jan" has this sinister mix of horns and organ that's never been duplicated again – one that pounds away for a very unique intro, before guitar twangs in and sets the whole thing rocking! "Girl From Kenya" ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
(Moira/Cotillion yellow label pressing. Labels have some faded name in marker spots.)
Harmony soul from the Chicago 70s underground – 2 nice tracks from the Newsounds, who may or may not be the same group that recorded for All Platinum around the same time. "Bet You Never Thought About It" is a nicely stepping tune with a bubbling Chicago soul groove – and ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Two of the most famous tracks ever from Gil Scott Heron – both of them great! "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" is Gil's great gift to the 20th Century – a tune that mixes his protest poetry roots with a massively funky line – sweet flute and heavy bass – ...

(White label promo. In an Atco sleeve. Label has a name in pen, minimal wear.)
A killer 2-part funk number from the early Ohio Players! The cut has a snapping bass, a good stop/start groove, and a hard heavy Westbound funk sound! Nice sinister piano, too! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Genius, pure genius – Trevor Horn's transformation of the overcluttered Yes groove down into a lean, mean bit of bass and funk for the 80s! The whole thing snaps, crackles, and vamps along magnificently – a blueprint for Art Of Noise, and countless other groups to come! The remix is ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A couple of smooth numbers by this fatastic harmony group who only ever issued a couple singles on the MGM subsidiary Lion. Both numbers hit a righteous sweet soul harmony groove over some great soaring production touches! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
A righteous soul gem from Chicago – killer work put together by Chi-soul DJ/Arranger Richard Pegue! "Got To Find A Way" features a chorus of singers – not religious, as their name might imply, but a cool group with falsetto soul traces, working in a baroque soul approach that' ...

2 funky instrumentals! "Boo Boo" is a tune that creeps along slowly – bumping at the bottom with a sly bassline, as horns kind of vamp on the top – stepping nicely with a funky groove, and a chorus that features a voice screaming out "Boo Boo!" "Spead" is ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Nice lost one! "Track Down" has a good choppy funk groove, with nice downbeats, weird spacey electronics, and an off-kilter horn finish. "Let's Put It Together" has more of an uptempo groove, with lots of choppy wah wah guitars – and a strong dancefloor groove! Both ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
One of their all time funky classics, with that great hard choppy funk groove that was virutally the patented trademark of this great group before they hit their weaker disco years. "Soul Man" is a funky cover of the Sam & Dave hit. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
A surprisingly club-oriented track from Swamp Dogg, and one that an uptempo funky sound, and lively "dancing" lyrics from Swamp. The flipside's a bit more typical stuff, with a mellower sound that's more southern soul oriented. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
The Steelers were one of the best harmony groups to ever come out of Chicago, and although they never broke as big as some of their east coast counterparts, they cut some pretty darn nice singles in their day – including this one! The record's arranged by the great Floyd Morris, and the cut ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A church record, but a groovy one – featuring Peter Scholtes' "Missa Bossa Nova" – basically a recasting of traditional mass themes in a jaunty bossa nova way! The style of the record is very post-Vatican II – with Scholtes playing acoustic guitar in a folksy way, and ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
With "I'll Get By", "Just For A Thrill", "I'll Climb The Highest Mountain", "I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You", "Coquette", and "When The Swallow Flies Back To Capistrano". (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
(NOTE – This set is missing the 3rd disc, with "Coquette" and "When The Swallows Come Back To Capistrano". Includes the Decca sleeves. Box has some surface wear, heavy edge wear, and discoloration from age.)
Nice funky soul! "Yeah, You Right" is a nice hard deep soul cut with slightly heavy drums, and good ensemble vocals by the group, which seems to be made more up of sisters, than brothers! It's got a sound that's almost like the Stovall Sisters – which is ok in our book! "Dear ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
One of THE seminal post-punk dance singles – a twin pair of cover versions that are both pretty darn great! The Flying Lizards will always be remembered for their tinny cover version of "Money" – one that's way way different from the original Motown tune, and taken in a ...

An excellent girl group harmony single! "Hey Romeo" has amazing echoey production, and the vocals slide right into the main verse in a beautiful way. Willie Mitchell produced both sides in Memphis, and the tracks have a nice bubbling Hi Records sound underneath – but much more raw ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record

2 nice mellow cuts by 9th Creation – very different than their funk work, but still pretty great! "Sexy Girl" is our favorite here – as the tune's got a warm harmony sound, a nice jaunty groove, and a hook that keeps on going long over the cut's gone. A great east coast-y ...
