Check the soundclip – also became an all time classic House tune with a just a few tweaks (Gusto – ‘Disco’s Revenge’ – now a N.E.R.D. sample all over again too – where will it end…?)… Here’s the original.

( Nice white promo copy – of this cool Disco-Boogie / Modern Soul shuffler…very fair price here… )
( Vocals are a bit over saccharine-sweet for me but the instrumental side works a lot better – this is a John ‘I Can’t Stop’ Davis production – good, bass-led Disco break midway in…very, very fair price…. )
Roman Stewart ‘Babylon’ / ‘Nattie Groove’ (Foreward / USA / 1978 / M-)£60 £40

The Reflections ‘Love On Delivery’ (Capitol / UK / 1975 / VG+/M-) £20£10
( British-issue copy of this excellent J.R. Bailey / Ken Williams-produced and penned LP – ‘She’s My Summer Breeze’ is a personal fave 2 Stepper and ‘Day After Day’ also deserved a mention cos it’s a lovely dancer too…slight ringwear to sleeve – nuttin horrendous…VERY fair price…TUNE…!! )
The Art Reynolds Singers ‘It’s A Wonderful World’ (Capitol / USA / 1960s / Ex/Ex) £20 £10

Gospel Soul / Funk with a few good cuts – loved the looseness and free-flowing feel of the ‘It’s A Wonderful World’ title track also great was ‘There’s A Brighter Day and a coolly arranged version of ‘Feelin’ Good’ – sleeve is still in shrink and only graded down from Ex+ cos it has a cut out hole top right and is also a bit grubby – vinyl better – just scuffed but non-audible…nice LP… )
( Well – here’s a surprise! Thought I’d had / seen all Soul / Funk stuff on RCA and then along comes this to stump me..? MUST be rare…rarer Promo copy too with some excellent Disco / Funk tracks like ‘Are You Ready For This’ , ‘Carry Me Down’ , ‘Slow Funk’ etc etc – mild wear to sleeve but overall very, very nice… )

Rare, rare Islands Funk LP that I’ve never set eyes on before…..several good cuts here for us…’Coretyne’ is a big, banging Funk cut with nice keys and rising brass, ‘Thank You Baby’ is a coooool, organ-led soul groove with, again, excellently arranged brass and some nice tempo changes and ‘Toronto Mas’ is again uptempo with some great pan playing and crashing percussion – 99% unplayed copy here, has to be rare…. )
Dionne Warwicke ‘Just Being Myself’ (WB / UK / 1973 / VG/Ex+) £20 £10
( Sleeve only graded VG cos of sticker damage top front right (small) – otherwise it’s clean… I remember not being able to believe my ears when I found out that this was Dionne ‘skin up’ Warwicke when GP announced it on Kiss FM one sunday PM way back in the 90s – shurely shome mishtake, I thought? No – ‘You’re Gonna Need Me’ (very recently sampled by Usher n his massive ‘Throwback’ hit) and ‘I’m Just Being Myself’ are both on here and they both still sound amazing – those intros….! Very fair price here… )
( With ‘Carcara’ – THE killer Jazz Dancer a la Dingwalls etc etc – first copy here in 3 years….sleeve is just slightly worn but vinyl looks rough – plays more like an Ex – ‘Eso Beso’ is also so, so good here…’1, 2, 3’ also well worth a listen… )
Nancy Ames ‘Spiced With Brasil’ (Epic / USA / 1960s / VG+/Ex+) £12 £6

( Lovely Latin Soul / Jazz LP with a few great tracks here – ‘Pata Caliente’ , ‘Lupo El Fantastico’ but the best of em all id the Northern-flavoured ‘Boogaloopo’ which is set at just the right tempo for a shuffle on the floor – gorgeous, gorgeous tune…despite the bizarre title… )
( Graded low cos sleeve (despite still being in it’s shrinkwrap!) has a fair bit of scribble to rear and on label/s – vinyl is much better but also has a few scuffs so is also graded Ex…nice Tito LP from the late-60s – mostly uptempo stuff with the standouts being ‘TP’s Shing-A-Ling’ , ‘ Safari’ , ‘Shing-A Tin Tin’ etc etc – why do people write on sleeves? Nice price, kidz…. )

( Rare, rare Modern Soul 7” here that seems literally impossible to find…same kinda sound as King Tutt ‘You Got Me Hung Up’ – uber-rare – zero info on the net and I don’t think this has ever even been through eBay…? Stone mint copy of a BIG rare… )
7042
Phyllis Hyman ‘Baby (I’m Gonna Love You)’ (Desert Moon / USA / 1976 / VG) £8 £4
( Sadly – this copy has an edge crack which causes it to click VERY lightly for the first few revs but as soon as Phyllis starts singing, it’s inaudible…her best-ever tune? I think so – one of THE best 2 Step tracks of all time…magnificent……. )
7044
Charles Pryor and the Power Of Love Band ‘Disco Party (Get Down)’ / ‘Remember Me’ (Detroit Gold / USA / 1970s / VG) £50 £25
( Sadly, not Mint – crackles all thru but plays well enough to my ears…topside is excellent Disco / Boogie which was on this guy’s £300++ rated LP while the flip is actually credited to Jimmy Scott and is a killer Sweet With A Beat’ midpacer which makes this 45 just a joy to behold…..dubble bubble….
7045
The Fabulous Rhythm Makers ‘Mini, Mini Afro Twist’ / ‘Ya Gotta Be Doin’ It’ (Forte / USA / 1960s / Ex+) £15 £8
( Rare R&B / Soul instrumental double-sider…topside sounds very much like an instrumental version of Dobie Gray’s ‘The In-Crowd’ while the flip is still a heavy groove but in more of a laid-back style – this one is scarce, I’ve checked… )

Billy Martin and the Soul Jets ‘Nothing But A Heartache’ (London / Canada / VG+ / 1969) £40 £25
( Rare Canadian-only instrumental version of The Flirtations Northern Soul classic – this is actually a tougher / funkier version with loadsa extra brass and heavier “bottom end” which sounds absolutely wicked to my ears – new one on me…vinyl looks a bit rough but plays very, very well…. )
7067
Mel Torme ‘Comin’ Home Baby’ / ‘Right Now’ (London-Atlantic / UK /1962 / VG+) £20 £10

7069

( Rare Italian-only Funk 7” which has always been absolutely m-u-r-d-e-r to turn up – taken from this guy’s £100++ rated LP – uptempo wah-wah Funk with ace femme backing vox and rattling percussion, great keys and an incessant tempo that just hooks you in – sleeve is rough with lotsa creases/wear but vinyl is waaaay better and plays more like an Ex to me – no problems there… )
7070
Black Velvet ‘Can’t Stand The Pain’ (MAM / UK / 1971 / VG) £6 £3
( Fair price for this cos it looks a bit rough – taken from their £100+ rated LP on the same label – rock-y / funk-y / folk-y track from this maverick group – really grows on you after a few plays… )
7071
Don Julian and the Larks ‘The Jerk’ / ‘Forget Me’ (Money / USA / 1960s / VG) £6 £3

( Lovely Mono / Stereo WD copy of this ace funky / breakbeat tune – so, so tough on 7”……… )
7078
The Vibrations ‘Soul A Go-Go’ (Okeh / USA / 1960s / VG) £6 £3

7081
Laurel Aitken ‘Fattie Bum Bum’ / ‘Version’ (Pama Punch / UK / 1975 / Ex)£15 £8

7083
The Bad Boys ‘Black Olives’ / ‘Love’ (Paula / USA / 1966 / VG+) £30 £20
( So indemand right now – killer Club grooves with some of the twangiest gee-tar licks in Christendom…few scuffs here and there – minor stuff…great to see this cool little 60s Funker back on my shelves again – one copy only and a big spin for John Stapleton a coupla years back, I believe…? )

( Stunning, stunning 45 – incredible mix of laid back Disco grooves, Reggae tempo and lazy wah-wahs and beautiful male / female vocals – top brass too – treat yourself to a listen to the clip below – actually reminds me of a RAMP out-take – I could easily see somebody like Roy Ayers producing something like this back in the mid-70s…highly, highly recommended……flip is also ace, trust me…I’ve had this once before, I think, but it wasn’t anywhere near as clean as this one…I got £150 for my first-ever copy of this, nearly 10 years ago… )
7111
The Buena Vistas ‘Foxy’ / ‘Filet Of Soul’ (Swan / USA /1960s / Ex+) £15£8

The Art Reynolds Singers ‘It’s A Wonderful World’ (Capitol / USA / 1960s / Ex/Ex) £20 £10
( Not had this on before? Gospel Soul / Funk with a few good cuts – loved the looseness and free-flowing feel of the ‘It’s A Wonderful World’ title track also great was ‘There’s A Brighter Day and a coolly arranged version of ‘Feelin’ Good’ – sleeve is still in shrink and only graded down from Ex+ cos it has a cut out hole top right and is also a bit grubby – vinyl better – just scuffed but non-audible…nice LP… )

Sf18
Dionne Warwicke ‘Just Being Myself’ (WB / UK / 1973 / VG/Ex+) £20 £10
( Sleeve only graded VG cos of sticker damage top front right (small) – otherwise it’s clean… I remember not being able to believe my ears when I found out that this was Dionne ‘skin up’ Warwicke when GP announced it on Kiss FM one sunday PM way back in the 90s – shurely shome mishtake, I thought? No – ‘You’re Gonna Need Me’ (very recently sampled by Usher n his massive ‘Throwback’ hit) and ‘I’m Just Being Myself’ are both on here and they both still sound amazing – those intros….! Very fair price here… )

Lat07
Tito Puente ‘The King’ (Tico / USA / 1960s / Ex/Ex) £25 £15

Nice price, kidz…. )
