Just love what she does with the Bill Withers groove on the b-side, adding all that power with her superb
vocal prowess.


965 JAMES BROWN SOUL POWER Pt 1,2 & 3 KING 10.00
James Brown recorded it, and the whole damn world felt the shockwaves. A million new funk groups
probably formed every time he released a new record! (give or take a few...)

With the great, raunchy sax breakdown - more JB-related shenanigans.

993 BEGINNING OF THE END FUNKY NASSAU ALSTON sold
All-time rare groove classic!


995 DENNIS COFFEY SCORPIO SUSSEX 10.00
A funky breakbeat classic! Bob Babbit's bass was so huge he needed four men to hold it up while he hit it
with a hammer. True story.


100 MAX B BANANATICOCO VIRGO sold
Very popular now, here in it's original two-part format. Mental bassline underpinning the tribal-style
choruses, baaaad afro-disco!


101 MAX-B SAMBA OPALO(SPA) 10.00
(
Pic cover slightly torn) b/w "Bameloo" rough basslines & good funk from the psychedelic wonder that is his super scarce first LP.

Uptempo, scratchy funk with good organ dabs.

Joyous uptempo funky groove.


189 THE COUNTS FUNK PUMP AWARE 6.00

 

1021 SPAGHETTI HEAD FUNKY AXE MOVIEPLAY(SPA) 40.00

Larger than life bass/drums groove from breakbeat heaven. Back in stock!

1022 DOLORES POR DONDE CAMINAS? POLYDOR(SPA) 40.00

(picture sleeve) I'm really glad to be able to offer this for sale once more, it's been quite a while. Taken from the "Ana Nisi Masa" LP, and backed with "Sandunga" on the flip, these two monster brazilian fusion numbers are the strongest tracks from the LP, and as a bonus, "Por Donde caminas?" benefits here from a tighter, punchier alternative mix on this single.

1376 LALO DIRTY HARRY/LATIN SOUL VERVE(FRA) sold

Excuse my ignorance, as I don't know who this bunch of unknowns are, but certainly dig their way with a Schifrin tune, especially nuggets like these! Pure boogaloo pressure on "Latin Soul" and percussive mayhem on the wildly funky "Dirty Harry".

1377 GIANNI MARCHETTI EL MAGNIFICO TONY CARRERA EMI(SPA) 50.00

Italian score for Spanish film from '69. "Psico Classico" will satisfy your mad beat cravings, but the real 24 karat diamond here is "Amore In Controluce". Gentle bossa strumming, beautiful female humming followed by haunting chorus and, when, about halfway in the sitar comes in on the melody, well.. I'm tempted to use the word 'exquisite'..is that ok? Ok, it's exquisite!

1378 BLUE FEATHER LET'S FUNK TONIGHT(REMIX) MERCURY(SPA) 10.00

Classic disco!

1379 TINTA BLANCA SALMO VII PHIILPS(MEX) 40.00

Rough, no messing, Mexican funk, so rare! "Todo Va A Cambiar"

1380 BABA-BERTA RING MY BELL JOEY(MEX) 60.00

Unknown latin disco funk. Forget the a-side unless you fancy a good laugh but hold tight for the flip. Twisted disco-funk beats and out there Moog melody, pure ESG style grooves. Short but totally deranged!

1394 POP FIVE MUSIC INC. ORANGE/MISSION IMPOSSIBLE ORFEU(POR) 60.00

Super-rare early release by the legendary Miguel Graca Moura. Their version of "Mission Impossible" is surprisingly fresh. Very raw sounding and with a hard funky groove to it.

1395 MANUELA MACHADO POESIA E MUSICA DE JAZZ MOVIEPLAY(POR) 20.00

Female poetry recital over a cool jazz background, kind of like beat style but with a twist!

1396 WILSON SIMONAL OS ESCRAVOS DE JO PARLOPHONE(POR) 10.00

Early sixties Simonal 4-track EP.

1397 DUO OURO NEGRO PATA PATA/UPA NEGUINHO COLUMBIA(POR) sold

4-track EP from '68, very rare! Their version of the Brazilian club classic "Upa Neguinho" sounds perfect, with bossa-jazz sounds supplied by the Jorge Machado ensemble, and cool vocals.
