Black Nasty - Party On 4Th Street/Freakish Self (Big Hit) - EX - 30 hear
Tough one and best from them, from the pen of Johnnie Mae Matthews comes this great slab of Detroit party funk with that break intro. Flip has legs, too.

Fruit - Say It/If You Feel It Say Yeah (Cypress) - M- - 40 hear hear
1978 Florida on the Cypress label. The studio is still operating to this day — google ‘em. Fruit liked doing long songs, both sides clocking at well over 4 mins. Two good late 70s funky soul dancers.

Modern Times - Stompin Crazy Legg/Happy Man (Golden World (Label Wear)) - VG+ - 30 hear
Possibly the last 7"³ release on Golden World Records, this 1973 offering does exacty what it says on the label: it’ll have you Stompin’ your Crazy Legg (sic) and nodding your crazy headd and waving your crazy armss around(d)

Torques - Bumpin/Mercy Mercy (Lemco) - M- - 40 hear hear
1965 killer instrumental from this busy Lexington, Kentucky imprint. Dominated by a parping sax and laced with hammond this a boogaloo/r&b dream. Monster.

Moorish Vanguard - Sitting In The Sunshine Of Your Love Part 1/Sitting In The Sunshine Of Your Love Part 1 (Polydor (Wol)) - M- - 50 hear
Really good uptempo female lead dancer from 77, featuring the vocals of Barbara Bey, that is apparently mis titled on the Polydor issue as the correct title is Sitting In The Sunset of Your Love(!) 

Blue Notes - Standing By You Girl /It's Over - (Glades) M- - 8 hear one copy left
Always rated this one. Still a bit under the radar in terms of exposure, it comes from the 1977 album ‘The Truth Has Come To Light’. Much busied producer George Chocolate Perry was at the controls here so you really on a tight groove.

Final Edition - Betcha Can't Love Just One /Betcha Can't Love Just One Part 2 - (Vap) M- - 15 hear
Very under the radar modern soul from 1980 that deserves a listen if you don’t know it.

Jd Hall - I Wanna Get Into You /Freak On Down - (J.D.H - original not later pressing) M- - 150 hear
So, here’s the rub. If you google it you’ll find the thread on Soul-source (on here) explaining the differences between this press (from the early 80s) and a later issue which seems to now go for money.Here’s a proper late 70s/early 80s original of this most sublime of modern soul 45s…considered by many to be a grail for years, it also saw a dreadful issue on 12"³ — ‘orrible thing that. You want this.

Echomen - Let's Get Together /Talk Is Cheap - (Shelia) VG++ - 60 hear
New Jersey funk on one side, sort of proto Northern on the flip. Check the clip of the flip you can tell they recorded it live. There’s the audience in there at the start and everything. Bet that gig smashed it! Bit noisy in the pressing but the music wins out.

Lee Fields - Tyra's Song /You're My Weakness - (A&T) EX - 60 hear
Gem of a record and lyrically I prefer this near 3 minute dedication to his lady that Lee Fields lays down to the Angle 3 version. Lovely live feel to the session, you can hear the sax bouncing off the booth!

Jam Factory - It's Jam Factory Time /Love Do Or Die - (Jam Factory Corporation) EX - 25 hear
For some reason I’m imagining this is out of Ohio or somewhere near(?).don’t know why, probably wrong. Seems like an obscure one. This is one of those ‘band showcase’ type tunes — the sort that tell you that there’s a band, this is their sound/name etc. pretty decent,, late sounding effort, bit guitary in parts but playable. Flip it for some homemade sweet soul stuff.

Rickey Andrews - The Next Time /Take Me Back - (RWA Records) M- - 30hear
From a recent haul, this was a tough one but a haul has made them affordable: for how long remains to be seen. Great rolling funky mid 70s(?) Georgia soul.

Lang Cook And X-Y-Z Affair - Chocolate Stuff /More Chocolate Stuff - (Evolution) EX 25 hear
Miami, Florida release from 1979 for this private modern boogie dancer which also came out on the Aquarius imprint. There isn’t a huge difference between the two — if anything the Evolution issue sounds less demo-like without the rowdy shouty vocals of the other cut. Lang Cook came back in ’84 to grace the planet with one of the wackiest boots and jacket combo ever as witnessed on his album “She’s Hot With 2000 Watts”.

Fantastic Cousins - Come Down Junkie /Why Oh Why - (E. Leonard ) M- 75 hear
Hard hitting message-funk, and one of those that you find yourself going “hello, this sounds better than I remember it”. Not sure where it’s out of but there are Hispanic connections, unless of course Lou Gonzales was actually a Welsh dude with a Latino name. Definately not a white garage band, unless they were a white garage band.


Pat Hunt - Super Cool /Everybody's Somebody's Fool - (Early Bird) VG++ 25 hear
A member of the 4 J’s and the Wooden Nickels (along with Brenda and Patrice Holloway) Ms Hunt struck out on her own with this late 60"²s(?) staple funk favourite, the kind of empowerment lyrics that the lasses liked to sing in those days: basically calling out dudes who think they’re all that. It only clocks in at just over 2 minutes but she gets the message across loud and clear. Very club-friendly groove.

Korla with Klass - Stop Before You Start /No Other Woman - (Music Master) EX - 100 hear
Strange one this. Pretty hard record from California, this was also released (probably first - I'm guessing) by Arlene Bell & The Kenyattas on Velvet in the same year as this, 1978. Lyrically it comes from a female point of view (which is why I presume Bell's version is the earlier issue) yet the lead on Korla HAS to be a dude and yet he's still singing from woman's point of view! Odd. Korla is beefed up power by a power of 10 and is directed straight at your feet. Your disco pleads for this monster. One time Soul Sam spin. 
 

Mad Hatters - Mad Hatters Get Down/Free At Last (Peg Leg Bates) VG++ (wol) £50 hear

Awesome 45 very much in the funky disco/soul vein so popular now. A steal.

 

Willie Bobo - Gotta Hustle On (Jupiter Jazz) EX £25 hear

Had a couple but down to my last one. Monster jazzy funk instrument - hard to categorize - check the clip

Also anyone still waiting on the  I've been promised a few more by Tuesday (supposed to be last Thursday but ran into problems) so hold tight!
