Please note - The entire list with full soundclips can be found in the Word document attached (this site only seems to allow ten soundclip links per post, so I've split it up).

If you'd like to receive my list in the future before it goes online, please drop me an email.

45s (alphabetical by label)

Lantei Lamptey: Fish & Funnjee (African Music Explosion) EX / EX £75

Massive b-boy breaks on this afro-funk banger.

Listen: https://www.concourserecords.com/musicuploads/lanteilamptry_fish.mp3

Caldwell Myrick Jr: It Be’s That Way (Big C) EX £30

Slow one from Chicago - sold quick last time I had a copy, and possibly the rarer of the two versions. (tiny sticker on flip)

Hank Jacobs & Don Malone: The World Needs Changin’ (Call Me) VG £75

Lesser known conscious funk with a sparse, forward-moving feel from the Elijah Rockin’ With Soul guy. There was a queue for the last copy I listed — this one isn’t as clean, but it plays well for the most part — check the full length clip.

Judson Moore: Everybody Push & Pull (Capri) EX- £75

Recently revived crossover with slamming production.

Listen: https://www.concourserecords.com/musicuploads/judsonmoore_push.mp3

Lenox Avenue: Sunshine (Chess) EX- £40

Morose but classy crossover, a big spin for Adam Leaver. Not terribly well known but certainly deserves to be since besides being a very likeable song, it picks up into a solid early doors dancer. Faint sticker residue & minor label wear, looks fine though & I think it’s a relatively tough one to find.

Jesse McFall & The Funk Elegant Orchestra: Thought You Ought To Know (Choice) EX+ £200

Excellent 70s mover from Carolina with a beautiful Love Unlimited Orchestra type of sound. The kind of semi-obscure record that slips through for sale about once a year - but this is only bound to increase in popularity once more people realise how good it is. Current spin for Marco Santucci. Very slight lift not affecting play, instrumental version on the flip.

Joey Irving: Masterplan / On My Own (Conquer) M- £20

Boogie dancer from the much loved Rockford, IL singer. His trademark falsetto soars on this one. The ballad flip is solid too. I didn’t rate this record back in the day, but on reflection it’s a worthy later inclusion in his discography.

#2: https://www.concourserecords.com/musicuploads/joeyirving_onmyown.mp3

Sonny Perry: Do Something For Yourself (Crisco) EX- £100

Lesser-known, early 70s-sounding funky soul out of New York, that builds nicely towards a rolling breakbeat section (check the clip). I sold a copy to Soul Sam a few months ago, and then picked up another one just recently - has heavy production that drops well in clubs.
