https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_03.mp3

Atlantic…Wesley, Gate…Do The Batman…VG+…8

great hammond funk instro that is deceptively tricky to turn up. Big break. Some bubbles on wax,

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_04.mp3

ghetto disco

Brown Sugar…1619 BAB…World…M- SOLD

one of my all time favourite funk 45s - brilliant vocals and understated groove too.

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_07.mp3

Carnival Record Prods…White Chocolate…Bump Chump…M-…5

bargain price for this decent funk workout

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_09.mp3

unknown stepper - classy backing and good female vocal - rare Nashville release

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_14.mp3

DeLuxe…Over Night Low…The Witchdoctor…M-…85

downright dirty downtempo funk. Sleazy as you like - OG, not the Soul Fire reissue

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_15.mp3

Dove…Clover, Early & Georgia Soul Drifters…Freedom…Ex…SOLD

rarely turns up in anything like this condition, and usually has H20 damage. This is a pretty sharp copy - great ghetto soul. Edit: the flip 'Think It Over' has a small pressing flaw, so that it clicks on the last 5 rotations in the fade out.

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_16.mp3

Ecology…Three Ounces of Love…Look At Me I'm Loving You/Tumbleweed…Ex…BIDS $150/£96 (CURRENT)

no idea how to price this, so will look at offers (none too small, none too high). A great Detroit rarity - fabulous crossover soul backed with funky Northern mover. Pre-Motown. Rare

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_17.mp3

Eloys…Watson, Freddie…The Unlucky Seven…M-…12

great funky crossover cut

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_18.mp3

Equal…Spot & The Blotters…Circulating/Soul Circle…M-…SOLD

once they're gone, they're gone - and I'm down to the last few. Brilliant uptempo soul/funk masterpiece, with killer Hammond version on the flip. Begging to be played on the Northern scene.

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_19.mp3

Excello…Deep Heat…Precious Woman…Ex…SOLD

very slight H20 on the label (like so many) but vinyl is near perfect. Great sophisticated funk groove. The very last release on Excello I think.

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_20.mp3

Excello…Washington, Jerry…Let Me Get Close To You…Ex…35

raucous uptempo funk behemoth. Club material - getting hammered by some top jocks at the moment I am reliably informed.

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_21.mp3

Fee…Volstarr…Dancin…Ex…8

brilliant disco/modern soul cut - with stuck on 'Volstarr' label

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_22.mp3

Gimp…Triads…If You're Looking For Love…VG+…BIDS £250 (CURRENT)

a new one on me, and recently repressed by Numero - so I guess there must be some US demand at least on this. It’s a great uptempo funk track, that sounds like a school band, but it holds its own compared to other efforts. A great 45

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_23.mp3

Half Moon…Sargeant & Malone…I Know Who You Are…M-…SOLD

Rare jazzy modern soul/rare groove outoing on this UK label

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_24.mp3

ghetto disco cut with excellent sweet flip - Carolinas

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_27.mp3

J&J…Morisette, Johnnie…I'm Hungry…M-…275

heavyweight funk killer, with gravel-voiced lead and gritty production. Raw as you like

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_28.mp3

Jasman…Talbot, Johnny…Git Sum…M-…20

that's Jasman not Jazzman. Great funky instrumental with horn section that sounds like its straight off a Spaghetti Western. Break on intro

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_29.mp3

King Soul…Taylor, Gloria…Born A Woman…M-…15

one of her harder to get records - great funky crossover

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_30.mp3

Lecasver…Touch…Pick and Shovel…VG…10

underrated funk instro - chunky drums

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_31.mp3

Leo…Rhythm, Jay…Wouldn't It Be A Pleasure…M-…SOLD

doesn’t turn up nearly as much as it used to. Could be another one that gets revived. Sounds right for todays scene - funky backbeat and great vocals

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_32.mp3

Liberty…T-Bones…Little LP…Ex…20

dog rare on a 45. This is a kind of album sampler and inlcudes a killer version of 'Hole In The Wall'. Solid centre US issue at 33rpm. Good break towards the end too

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_33.mp3

Lost Weekend…Lost Weekend…Trouble…Ex…SOLD

such a great, great record. Under the radar at the moment, but for those who like it a bit more sophisticated, this could be the one

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_34.mp3

Lotta Soul…Raw Soul Express…Will You EP…M-…10

bargain of the list!!!: this is a fantastic & rare 4 track EP from the band originally on Cat. Each track is a killer crossover soul cut, with a funk edge. Limited copies, so be quick!

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_35.mp3

Messiah…Sax, Bobby & The New Messiahs…Out-House 73…M-…75

great funk boogaloo mover with a latin tinge

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_36.mp3

MOT…Pro-Fascination…Try Love Again…M-…BIDS

one of the most sought after modern soul/crossover records out there right now. Bid accordingly!

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_37.mp3

Ninth Note…Jackson, Bobby…Walk In With Me…M-…SOLD

Currently big, this is a great midtempo modern soul/boogie mover. A new discovery, I think. Deep, moody production here - selling fast & has gone to some top DJs & collectors - so be quick

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_39.mp3

Outstanding…PTs…Dragon Rock…M-…SOLD

Ian Wright spin from back in the day. Curiously never went for major money, despite its obvious quality. Catchy as hell funk instro for the wee hours.

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_40.mp3

People…Walker, Gloria…My Precious Love…M-…SOLD

one of my all time crossover favourites. Sublime

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_41.mp3

classy modern soul dancer

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_42.mp3

actually a very rare record - great dancefloor funk bomb, still spun by the great and the good.

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_43.mp3

Prestige…Swanee Sons of Birmingham…To The End…M-…SOLD

big spin for George Mahood - great crossover soul dancer. Needs a +4, but very reminiscent of the Sacred Four track that everyone wants now

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_44.mp3

Preston International…Washington, Albert…You're Messing Up My Mind…VG…250

reserved then not paid for on previous list - brilliant uptempo 60s Funk/Northern 45 that crosses scenes. Apparently a recent spin for Butch so there could be some heat on this going forward

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_45.mp3

Private press…True Effect…Do You Believe…M-…SOLD

brilliant soulful funk/crossover cut. Very, very limited press of some unreleased Side Effect tracks. Will go massive if it catches on. Takes 30 secs or so to kick into the groove, but when it does….

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_46.mp3

Rapture…Cash Money…Seeking…M-…HOLD

always seems to fly out this one. Killer modern soul/funk workout that sounds just right for todays dancefloor

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_47.mp3

Renfro…Touch of Class…Gotta Get over…Ex…40

seems to be a rare one on the label - very few Google hits. Crossover soul effort on this collectible Northern label

https://www.rookiesrecords.com/Oct11_56.mp3

White label, no info…Unknown…Looking Back On Summer…M-…BIDS

pressed with only a white label and no info, this is one of 5 known test presses of this record. So this is a scarce 45. It's also a great crossover soul cut, with great vocals, crisp production and great arrangement
