One of the foundation stones of northern soul, courtesy of Sherlie Matthews and sisters Brenda and Patrice Holloway.

Surprisingly the first time on 12” for this brassy, string-laden, modern/Northern crossover classic, more Philly than NYC. Beautifully written by Thom Bell, expertly remixed by Tom Moulton.

Grooving, spaced-out, late-seventies jazz-funk, which first surfaced in 2006 on the Inedit 79 compilation. Same super-classy spaceway as Fantasy by Earth Wind & Fire. That Raekwon knows a tune when he hears one.

Giddying soul music from early-eighties Estonia!
A rework of I See Red by Frida, from Abba, with raw fiddle, and poetic new lyrics by Velly about camels and maidens; plus an unnerving version of Feel Like Makin’ Love.
Check it out!

The first official 12’ release of these two walloping classics by one of the very greatest soul singers of all time. Undimmed after forty years.

Crucial Arthur — with a deadly Walter Gibbons mix.

A superb double-header, by way of Joe Evans’ New York label Carnival: a stylish, soulful dancer, and a beautiful harmony ballad.

45s of It’s Just Love by John Andrews and Look Away by The Shirelles are both gold-plated dancefloor classics; so it’s thrilling to present these interpretations by their co-composer — the great Valerie Simpson, of Ashford & Simpson —  out here for the first time.

This is knockout.
Luminous, swinging, soaring soul music from 1971; richly arranged by Horace Ott.
