A fantastic track – grooving along at a rich soulful midtempo pace that owes a heck of a lot to Soul II Soul, but which also is the perfect showcase for Lisa's wonderfully soulful vocals. And sure, it got played to death when it came out – but that's what makes it a classic, and just ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Completely sublime! Shuggie Otis first wrote and recorded "Strawberry Letter 23", but it took The Brothers Johnson, and some smooth Quincy Jones production to make it a hit! The track loses none of it's original trippy soul in this version – and if anything, the better vocals ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record

One of our favorite Factory Records club tracks – a percolated number that was equal parts New York and Manchester! The electro beats and slight Latin groove have a wonderful crossover downtown sound – as does the flatted sax bit that comes along with the hook – but the vocals ...

(US pressing in the stickered sleeve, with a cut corner, ring and edge wear, lightly bent edges, and small index label with BPM. Labels have promo ink stamps.)
The a-side hardly needs any introduction from us, an uplifting disco cut, with soaring, string-laden Gamble & Huff production, and the sort of mainstream appeal that's kept it in constant roatation for years and years! "Fancy Dancer" is from the Comodores heavier funk years, off the ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
The first single from the Shady/Aftermath debut LP. It's a damn nice one as far as this stuff goes – Dre's increasingly baroque synth blips get a good workout here, as on the Get Rich LP, for a slower club grind. The B-side "Backdown" is another strong LP track. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Two excellent Philly dance floor numbers off the Family Reunion LP, with "I Love Music" getting the pumped up Tom Moulton treatment for this single! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Promo in a Philly Int'l sleeve, with a promo stamp.)
Blacksmith handled the remix and extra production work for this single – giving the track a nice strong London groove, circa 1990, which is about the best vintage we can think of! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
One of Lisa's greatest cuts, with a sweetly soaring hook that's a perfect example of the catchy grooves she could hit when she wanted to! Remixes by Gail Sky King – and the single is promo only. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Sampler from the Stretch Armstrong compilation, with "What's Poppin" by Havoc, "Stand Up" by FT, "Moi" by Labba, "Make Em Jealous" by Lazy, "Son Gotta Eat" by The Reepz, and "Touch Ground" by Royal Flush. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Quintessential 80s groove from Chaka Khan – a great version of Prince's "I Feel For You", remixed here with some really chunky beats and cool sampled vocal bits! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Sheila E's Prince-influenced hit, with a Part II on the flip that basically finds the band jamming on the groove for a bit longer. . . (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
