Wynd Chymes
Baby You're The One / Extended Edit
Jackson, Mississippi's finest funky moment. A record we've been trying to license for 5 years finally comes to fruition. This is just a great song, should have appeal to all humans.

7 Sounds LTD
I'm Waiting For Sweet Harmony / Blessed Return
Straight up my favorite Milwaukee soul 45 (ok, maybe tied with Step By Step 'Time After Time'). Harvey Scales's band's only solo effort. Wonderful sweet group soul on one side and sophisticated funk on the other!

Act III
To-day I Want to Stay Inside / I Can Feel the Tears
Mint copy of this amazingly moody bit of crossover soul from Memphis, 1968.

dreamy modern soul from the bay area. very nice beat and excellent vocals.

Brilliance
Chilling Out
Rare release from soulman Regional Garland, Flint, MI. Marvin Gaye style laid back modern soul tune. Check clip.

Brothers Scott & Comp. Band
In the Beginning / Midnight Party People
Another nice one from the Brothers Scott. I tried to get you an idea of both sides in the clip, but it was kind of tough. 'Beginning' is a nice mid tempo modern soul / group vocal with great falsetto, and 'Midnight' is an atmospheric funky disco workout.

Brothers Scott & Co. Band
looking into the future / our love is growing
Just a wonderful modern dancer by anyone's standards. The flip is great group soul. Milwaukee boys!

Buzzsaw
I live in the Springtime
excellent psych garage tune here. band was also known as the Lemon Drops, this is a very rare 2nd edition (probably from the early 70's) label reads "get dusted with buzzsaw"

The Chef's
Mr. Machine parts 1 and 2
Milwaukee deep funk rarity. The cleanest copy I've ever seen, this is absolutely mint. Clip has a little of both sides.

Chemistry
Closer / Skateboard
A great, previously unknown 80s funk 45 that fits in great with a 6ts/7ts funk 45 sound. Highly recommended for funk DJs looking for a choice 'late sound' cut. 6 minutes long, and still SUPER loud clear pressing, gotta love those 45s! Clip has a little of both sides.

High class Oklahoma rarity. Recorded at Sly Stone's home studio in CA. Band is from Tulsa, OK. Sheer quality modern soul!

The Exclusives
