Great things happen when Barry Window, Joel Vandroogenbroeck and Barney Wilen join forces. Psyched soul funk with amazing sitar, flute and sax solo work. Check Funky For Now with Joel Vandroogenbroeck mastering keys t...

Mega rare Northern Soul on Diamond from '66. The flip with Don't Stop The World is pure brilliance. Promo copy in flawless condition.

Slapstick is the agenda here but I am beginning to wonder if anything really bad came out of on Golden Ring as even here they get it right with a downbeat detective wah wah funk. Record is clean EX but has an occasion...

Seriously hard to find afro disco cut with huge percussion breaks. This is the original 1st pressing on the tiny Italian label CLS. Some groove wear causing light distortion but nothing all to bad.

Killer disco funk promoted by Budweiser for the American Rafting Association and their annual Ramblin Raft Race. Essential pick to any breakbeat fan or DJ, this track seems to never end (thankfully) with continous bre...

More catchy Beth Carvalho vinyl treats with the floor friendly samba dancer Mangueira E Suas Tradicoes or Peso Na Balança. Nothing rare but just nice Brazilian music featuring a who's who like Sivuca, Chinquinho or Ma...

Can't claim to have met Beth Carvalho but am sure she is great fun. Almost all her records picture nothing but good vibes and spirits. Musically it does not sound any different, happy days in Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian...

Elizabeth Santos Leal de Carvalho or Beth as we know her teaming with a number of prolific samba artists from Rio. Essential for the Nelson Cavaquinho collaboration Deus Me Fez Assim but Virada and Gorjear Da Passarad...

Surely one of Brazil's most productive female artist and you would not have crossed with samba without crossing with Beth Carvalho. Coisinha De Pai, Nao Chora Nenem and Tem Nada Nao my faves but plenty to choose from....

Wonderful samba EP by Beth Carvalho including the excellent 1800 Colinas and Vovo Chica. Brazilian original in picture cover, record is clean EX, cover with writing on front.

Breakbeat intro with loud smashing drums begging for a chop. More promiscuous sounds by the Miles Davis lady friend on He Was A Big Freak flipside. Note that the copy has a few clicks at first turns.

A recommended German jazzy soul beat album by Betty Dorsey and a string of studio and jazz heads like Roland Schneider and Jürgen Franke behind the scenes. Start with Schaba Daba Deu for a feel of the vibes. Gotta lov...

Hats off for Betty Wright and close partners in Clarence Reid and Willie Clarke. Not all big sellers but really quality sister soul. Alston original with marks but plays really well.

Clarence Reid and Willie Clarke in charge with Betty doing what comes natural. Secretary is great but love the raw ballad Value Your Love flipside.

Flipside to Everybody Was Rockin from her great Danger High Voltage album. Alston original in crispy clean EX condition however there is a light crackle at intro turns.

Gotta love that Miami disco funk. Just sounds so different to everything else from the same period. Clarence Reid production with My Baby Ain't My Baby Anymore on the flip. One pen mark on label.

Rare Bettye Swann 45 with two tracks from her mega rare album of the same name. I personally have a soft spot for her soothing voice. US Capitol promo pressing in company sleeve, condition almost near mint.

Hard to label Between (The Chairs) as they are pulling inspiration from many camps. You could call it ambient medieval electronic kraut. Either way, a fantastic album here as affordable second press on Wergo, the Vert...

Brilliant album recorded in 1959 but only released in the early eighties. Gotta love Bev Kelly's vocal but have to give credit to Bob Graf's tenor sax (soundclip) as he plays is so well. Clean EX disc, cover is spotte...

Kind of 'greatest hits' album by Rio's samba head José Bezerra da Silva. Very funky affair with no dull moments in sight. Check Pega Eu.
