2/5: Daybreak, Formula 1, S.O.U.L., Steam Heat, Alice Clark, James Mason, Norma Jean & Ray J and more...

Following up Labour day and the Placebo triplets of last week is a fine batch of records, mainly in the soul, funk and disco direction, and quite a lot of quality on the convenient 7" format. The number one highlight for me I guess would have to be the Daybreak - Everything Man single, along with classics like James Mason and Alice Clark, plus rare gems Formula 1 and Norma Jean & Ray J. Not one, but two Les DeMerle LPs should be mentioned as well. In the 7"-department we have a couple of nice Supremes EPs with picture sleeves, Manzel - Space Funk, the lovely Nelta Wyatt and much more.

Have a look at some of the more exclusive records in our collages below, and to see everything new this week go to our New In Stock-section.

Soul, Funk 45's

This week we have a small but tasty Soul, Funk 45's batch with rare 60's northern soul like "Vipers" little Miss Sweetness", hard to find funk as Eddie Bo's massive "We're doing it" at his own private label Bo sound. Killer tracks by Universal Love "It's you girl", Tal Armstrong "You've got so much feeling" plus the indemand "Happy" by Velvet Hammer that Pharrell probably borrowed some inspiration from.

Album wise it's less record this week but we can offer a very nice copy of Joann Garrett "Just a taste at Chess, Archimedes badkar "Badrock för barn i alla åldrar", Steve Reid's free spirutual jazz LP "Odyssey of the oblong square".

Hip hop fans shouldn't miss the new Freddie Gibbs Madlib LP "Pinata" which is flying out of stock and is Madlib back in great style.

Next week we know it will be some nice reggae records coming out but surely plenty of other records as well.
