Gospel laden Disco from the early 80s, re-envisioned by Tom Noble on the Superior Elevation label. This is the original, haven't seen a copy for sale for a couple of years & here it is.
A few different versions were released of this Bay Area tune; 2 45's and an LP This being the rarer & better version of the 3. Known for it's A side, the B-side is equally as good and very rarely shows up for sale.
A Chicano group from San Francisco recorded these two tracks in the 60s as part of the Youth For Service scheme; an initiative set up to work with local gangs. 'My Love' being the epitome of timeless Sweet Soul.
Unknown late 80's Modern stepper from New Orleans. Only trace I can find online is a copy selling in '09 in VG shape. Cleaner copy here, unknown & sounds pretty decent to me.
Fantastic lo-fi funk, probably recorded straight onto cassette. First came across this at Wax Trax in Las Vegas where Mr. Rosen offered me his copy at four figures. Took a few years to come across an original - beware of the white boot! Awesome 45 if the lo-fi funk is your thing.
Enigmatic double-sider from Tampa, Florida. One for both the Sweet Soul & Deep Funk collectors. The sweet side has a few crackles which clear up whereas the funk side is clean. A VG copy fetched just shy of $3k a few months back, take your chance to bag a cleaner copy at a more competitive price.
The Miami group, The Rising Sun, cut one single for the Suncut label, this being it. The group are also noted for being the backing band for Perk Badger's release on the same label. Disbanding after two years, the group left this hard-hitting masterpiece to remember them by.
Nothing known about this Pennsylvanian oddity, late 70's disco/modern/funk. I know of one other copy in Japan and that's it. It's a martmite tune, so if you love it then I'd imagine this will be the only chance to grab one.
One of the first ballads I picked up from none other than the Southern Soul Spinners. Little did I know it also had one of the finest crossover tunes on the A-side. Staple Florida masterpiece.
Mid-70s Modern masterpiece from Los Angeles group, Rokk. Another with no introduction neccesary, spins across UK & Europe and scarce to come by. Slight warp affects first few rotations then plays spot on, price reflecting.
Ohio wasn't short of musicians with great taste and this early 70's offering on the commended Saru label is no exception. Loud pressing drowning out any boom-ticks!
The third & final release by The Specials on Satch. Regular spin down at Inner City Soul amongst other UK & European events, copies becoming more scarce and in-demand. Recently hitting 4 figures at auction, this one being more pocket friendly.
Had the 45 on the last list and here you have the self-released LP by Dwight Sykes. The only auction on ebay fetched over $800. Stepper / Boogie / Funk enthusiasts listen up.
