Debut release by Thelonious Monk JR and the ladies getting their groove on in perfect NYC style. Bon Bon Vie and House Of Music stand out in my ears but overall a good listen. Record looks clean EX but downgraded as ...

Thelonious Monk Jr. and the ladies smoothing as usual. Funky mid tempo dancer with First Lady Of Love on the flip. Clean EX copy, label has 'A' penned on B-side.

Block party favorite given the remx treatment but thankfully stays true to the original. Unplayed minty condition in West End jacket.

Larry Levan mix that has been sampled by..... well pretty much everyone. Popular block party spin. US original.

Epic forty five mixed by Larry Levan. Popular blockparty, summer party, all day party spin. US original with the in-demand long 6 plus min version on offer. Soft scuffs but playback is solid EX.

Rare limited edition West End 12inch with Larry Levan on the mix for Taana Gardner backed by the super long edited version of The Mexican by Bombers. Clean EX disc, West End cover in shrink, DJ stamp on label.

Not a rare pick by Tabou Combo but hey, it is a really great record with Respect, Courage and New York City these cats take off completely. Partytime...

Surprised to find such a brilliant boogie cut on this album but Ooh La La is a bomb and would work on the dancefloor any day. Cover in shrink but record itself has got many marks and some scratches. The main track Ooh...

Inflacion still sounds so fresh, it is close to impossible to sit down while listening to the Haitian masters on top form. Weak VG+ copy that plays really well, only light distortion between tracks.

Rare danceable afro synth with a pinch of Sokous by Tabu Ley backed by wonderful Faya Tess & Beyou Ciel. Solid EX shape cover and disc.

A fusion of jazz, blues and carribean vibes on this 1977 Taj Mahal soundtrack recording. I like the Love Theme, Funky Butt and the 8 minuttes of afro beat on Free The Brothers. US original in flawless condition. Small...

Hands up disco anthem by Chaka Kahn's less famous sister. One of her best offered here as extended take with great percussion intro and intense breakdown. Clean original copy in company sleeve.

Tal Farlow and Norman Granz join forces to record another essential guitar jazz recording. Verve Clerk pressing from Japan in fantastic state. Cover and vinyl are both solid near mint.

Stunning near mint copy on Japanese Verve, part of the collectable Immortal Jazz On Verve series. Tal Farlow is rated as one of the very best of jazz guitarist and this album from 1956 certainly underlines this status.

This one is well under the radar. Recorded in '76 but only came out in '81 is sounds completely different to the early Tal Farlow releases on Verve. Some seriously funky cosmic tinged jazz funk on this album. EX plus ...

Underground colab with Talib and Hi Tek representing New York and Cincinnati respectively. Two great tracks on offer in The Express and Some Kind Of Wonderful, the former being my favorite.

Obscure semi-private project with only two singles to their name, this second being the best. Kind of synthesized new wave.

Brilliant up-tempo instrumental disco with a slight Italo touch. Should sit well with space and cosmic fans and collectors. Single only release in flawless NM shape, cover is EX.

Been after this Cuban treat for a long while so happy to have caught a clean copy at last. Traditional drum, bongo, percussion patterns mixed with contemporary Cuban musical styles. Great stuff for the experimental DJ...

Soulful funk release by Tami Lynn on Cotillion. Unfortunately her only album as she had huge potential. A'int No Soul, Never No More and the downright funk favorite Mo Jo Hanna are all top class. US original with lowe...
