Stone killer Californian funk from 1972, raw and banging, with juddering bass, two tough breaks, and desperately soulful, utterly compelling falsetto pleading.
A proper reissue this time around, courtesy of Ubiquity.

More-ish combination of UK street soul and spiritual jazz, from Floating Points’ label.

Stone classic disco heaven; and a scarcely known, tripping, randy little Fuqua of an instrumental version of I Need Somebody, on the flip.
The first reissue of these two superb 7’ edits since back in the day.

Ace, freaky deaky boogie — dense, extrovert and synthy — originally out on Oil Capital.

Holy grail Detroit funk recorded in 1969 for Dave Hamilton; backed with a tape-find Northern dancer.

Funky mid-tempo sister soul, recorded at Dave Hamilton’s studio in Detroit. (Plus Little Ann’s tribute to the producer, on the flip.)

Stone killer jazz funk by the All Girls Band, from New Orleans.
Like prime Blackbyrds, but young women doing it to it for a change, with a rocket launcher.

Murderous southern funk from the dawn of the seventies, featuring brilliant fatback drumming by Freeman Brown and cooking organ by Clayton Ivey. Fittingly, producer Mickey Buckins lets off a siren on the flip.
