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.
