Review: The Original Gravity label is at it once again, combing through hidden pockets to serve up the finest nuggets from bygone days. The label is on a shuffling reggae tip this time around, with their latest single headed up by Lonnoya Drake singing a snappy version of the sentimental soul classic, 'Only You'. It's infectious dancefloor magic with heart to match its heat, setting up nicely for the heads-down get-down of 'Shake Up The Dance' by Woodfield Road All Stars. This sharp-shooting outfit lay down a killer instrumental with a nagging skank and some heavy-vibing organ lines sure to get the dance juiced up good and proper.

Reggae Dynamite Vol 3 (7" limited to 300 copies)
Cat: OGR 810. Rel: 28 Jul 21
Review: Original Gravity have been hard at work putting together a third volume in their reggae Dynamite series. This one lines up another belting 45 featuring tunes from The Regulators - twice - Brentford Rd Soul Rebels and Woodfield Rd Allstars. All of the tunes have booming bass warmth and vintage organ riffs that just transport you to a time and a place, even if you didn't live it yourself. The drums rumble on like a fat bottomed elephant and the horns take a majestic lead. These are atmospheric tunes ready and waiting to get people moving and our standout is Woodfield Road Allstars' tribute to boxing legend Muhammed Ali.

Reggae Dynamite Vol 1 (reissue) (7" limited to 200 copies)
Cat: OGR 791R. Rel: 15 Mar 21
Review: Original Gravity is run by label owner Neil Anderson, who has a tireless work ethic and superb devotion to ska, reggae, and everything in between. His love of boss rhythms comes to the fore once more here with new tunes from three pseudonyms - The Regulators, Woodfield Road Allstars and Prince Dolly - all of whom, in actual fact, are him. Regulators cut 'Why Why Why' opens up with a heavy bottom end, "Coast to Coast: has a big organ led groove and 'Why Dub Why' reworks the opening tune into a rocksteady roller. Essential repress this, do not sleep.

Review: Outta Sight's latest monthly rare soul missive contains hard-to-find and overlooked classics from "hard-hitting" New Jersey vocal group Soul Brothers Six and New Orleans Rhythm and Blues man Willie Tee. It's the former's wonderfully sweet and loose "I'll Be Loving You" (first released in 1966, fact fans) that takes pride of place on the A-side, serving up a lightly sauteed soul take on the rhythm and blues template. Willie Tee's 1967 jam "Walking Up A One Way Street", a summery affair blessed with a superb horn section, leisurely groove and brilliant lead vocal from the man himself, can be found on the B-side.

An Extraodinary Dream (7" + insert)
Cat: SRO 022. Rel: 10 Apr 25
Review: Long-lost Tidewater soul classic 'An Extraordinary Dream' gets a welcome reissue here by Symphonical with input from the last surviving band member Larry Gray. This timeless love song was recorded in 1969 at Charlie McClendon Studios and was the first of two singles by Gray and his group, The Soul Seekers, which was made up of five Huntington High alumni who helped shape the region's musical scene. Led by Gray who was fresh from five years at Stax Records with Otis Redding, the group backed numerous touring acts and this single was produced under Wilson Harrell's Check Productions. It's a lovably forlorn and low-slung soul sound with heavy-hearted melodies, horns and aching vocals.

Deep Inside You (limited 12")
Cat: MGR 001. Rel: 15 Sep 14
Review: There are reissues and there are REISSUES!! Originals have been passed around for well over $1000 in recent times and, due to the lack of original master tapes, no one ever dreamt of a reissue! Well here is it; the two tracks from the original 1973 Selector Sound 45" and Gloria and Walter Whisenhunt's Selector Sound collaboration "Love Is A Hurting Thing". All three sounding pristine. All three rich in early disco and rich soul sentiment. One per customer, this one demands serious attention.

Review: PM' Warson has the look and sound of a 60s soul singer. But he is very much a contemporary artist who has made a quick impression in the last couple years with his releases on Legere Recordings. They exude all the right hallmarks - the swooning female backing singers, the pirouetting drum work and steamy guitars riff that make you want to get up and dance in a slick Northern Soul style. This latest brace opens with the punchy '(Don't) Hold Me Down' with its textured riffs and big horns, then goes for something a little more subtle, downbeat and sensuous on the flip with 'In Conversation.'

Breaks & Beats Vol 21 (7" limited to 200 copies)
Cat: BAB 021. Rel: 10 Dec 24
Review: The Breaks and Beats label kicks on with a 31st instalment of magical sound that will inject soul and funk into any party and keep working DJs well stocked with heat this winter. First up on this limited 7" is The Webs with 'It's So Hard To Break A Habit', a slow and sentimental sound with aching v vocal harmonies and gentle rhythms laced with melancholic melodies. Gamith's 'Darkness' picks up the energy levels with some more bristling breaks and live drum sounds, funky vocal stylings and psyched-out guitar lines.

Review: UK based production team Weekend Sun is made up of Phil Smith and Chris Tarn. Here their loose and inviting 'Hoochie Coo Strut' tune gets presented on a limited edition 12" with a pair of killer mixes. The original is all deep cut, slow motion disco grooves, spangly guitar riffs and big horns. It is a cacophony of sound that gets dialled right back by Al Kent. His take is a low slung groover with jazzy chords given plenty fo room to breath and neat little riffs filing in the spaces beyond. Andy Smith Reach Up Disco Wonderland remix is a big one for full floors.

Sound Music 45s Collection Vol 1 (hand-numbered yellow vinyl 7" limited to 150 copies)
Cat: DYNAM 7129Y. Rel: 04 May 23
Review: A unique slice of classic library music flies off the shelf. These four tracks were lifted from the classic library music series known only as 'Sounds Music Album Volume 18', and were made by the library maestro Klaus Weiss, the former jazz drummer who later turned to the trade after falling in with German music publisher Ring Musik. An eerie uncanniness cuts across these instrumentals, as Weiss' drumming provides steady boppage to serene yet dubious backings of strings and synth.

Review: This great series from Dynamite Cuts continues to delve deep into the alluring world of library music. It is sound that captures real feelings and evokes all sorts of memories, even those that are imagined, with a single note or seductive groove. This collection is made of tracks from the German Library series Sound Music Albums which sell for over L150 if you can find a copy. There are four tunes in all, three from Klaus Weiss and one from Peter Thomas, all of which add up to another great collection and a must for serious music heads.

Review: Revivalist library funk specialists Whatitdo Archive Group (a project helmed by producer, bassist and drummer Alex Korostinsky) impressed with their 2020 debut on LRK Records. Here they transfer to Record Kicks with more vintage-sounding heaviness. The killer cut is undoubtedly A-side 'The Return of Beaumont Jenkins', which features some dazzling keys-work from guest musician Alex Alessandroni alongside plucked strings, swelling orchestration and swinging sixties style soundtrack funk grooves. Flipside 'La Pietra' has got a 'Spaghetti Western' kind of vibe, with chiming, Morricone-style melodies atop atmospheric guitars and laidback drums.

Two Tales For The Mind Vol 2 (limited hand-numbered 7")
Cat: TTFM 002. Rel: 07 Dec 23
Review: Broc Recordz is back after the impressive last outing from Janko Nilovic & The Soul Surfers with another brilliant release and this time it comes from the legendary JJ Whitefield who you might know from The Poets of Rhythm, Karl Hector or Embryo, and Igor Zhukovsky from The Soul Surfers. This tidy 7" kicks off with pure psyched-out funk magic that will take you to a state of ecstasy. It's doused in way way and fuzz and has loud and proud drums. 'Munich Bells' on the flip is a library-psych-breaks killer with a drive-in bassline and tons of reverb.

Play That Funky Music (12")
Cat: UVR 13021. Rel: 14 Sep 21
Review: Given that Wild Cherry's 'Play That Funky Music' and Average White Band's 'Pick Up The Pieces' are both amongst the most anthemic disco-era funk cuts around, many may see these new remixes from Marco Fratty as being a bit unnecessary. Yet while neither track needed tampering with, the Italian producer has done a terrific job in updating them. His full vocal versions of both tracks make great use of the original instrumentation and vocals, effectively extending them - re-edit style - while adding marginally tougher new beats that never overwhelm the mix. Even better though are the two dub mixes, which use familiar sonic tropes - delay-laden vocal snippets, Refkex style instrumental builds and so on - to help turn both tracks into 21st century dub disco epics. A surprise triumph!

Review: Pure wisdom from Trinidad & Tobago's Wild Fire. Taken from their 1970 album - the first after changing from The Sparks - "Check It Out" is an incredibly raw slice of earthy folk soul with its tribal percussion and gutsy conscious spoken word. "The Dealer" looks north for a more of a New York feel to the guitars and narrative while remaining wholly island in its looseness and warmth. Timeless in both vibe and sentiment and remastered with finesse, Black Pearl have uncovered some serious magic here.

Review: Dave Welding's Soul Junction label is back with another limited edition 45rpm that keeps up the fine run of recent form. These two gems are the work of the late great Willie Williams, a blind singer from Chicago who was discovered performing in the Windy City's local clubs. He was signed to ABC records in 1966 and put out only a couple of other well received singles. 'Give It All I Got' is a beautiful piece with raw drum work and lush vocal backing harmonies next to a gentle piano line. It is stirring stuff while the flips-side 'Do You Understand' is more upbeat with its funky riffs, more great backing vocals and a rolling beat that locks you in.

Review: First featured on the 2014 album I Hope You'll Be Very Unhappy Without Me, 'Hit 'Em Like Ali' is one of the most infectious, energetic and riotous tracks in the slowly growing catalogue of Australian artist Chelsea Wilson. Something of an unheralded modern deep funk classic, it makes perfect sense that Spasibo Records has decided to give it a much-deserved single release. The track was co-produced by Cookin' On 3 Burners member Jake Mason and the heavyweight instrumental backing track - which is available for the first time on the flip - features many of Melbourne's finest funk musicians. The breakbeats are blistering, the horns heavy, the guitars flanged and the bass weighty; what's not to like?

Review: It's 20 up for Positive Pay For Japan, who have got a wealth of funky 7"s out this month alone. It comes from Milton Wright, a big presence on the Miami soul scene throughout the 1970s. He was one of the many siblings in the Wright family alongside Betty, Phillip, Charles and Jeanette and also served as a justice on the Boston Municipal Court from 1998 to 2004. This 45 serves up 'Let's Take A Break,' a slow motion and deeply funky number with poignant bass notes and Milton's stylish vocals up top next to plenty of big horns. The party picks up with 'You Like To Dance,' a brighter tune with a positive vibration.

Review: With roots as a backing singer for Stevie Wonder, Wycoff went on to become a soul ambassador throughout the early 80s. This 1982 reissue is one of the best examples of his silky, heartfelt delivery... "Looking Up To You" is a dynamic love song where traces of big 70s production build and build throughout. "(Do You Really Love Me) Tell Me Love", meanwhile, was only ever released as a B-side. Its 80s production counter the dramatics of the A-side with cool synthetic perfection. Reissues don't get much broader in production or sweeter in sound than this.

Review: This reissue from Jazz Room is one from the rather more obscure end of the jazz spectrum but it is well worthy of your time. Johnny Walker - not the same guy as the whisky magnate - recorded this one when he was touring the world with veteran jazz star Lionel Hampton back in 1982. The sounds that defined his signature are drenched in funk with fat beats powering them along. The excellent rhythm section work really shines through here on an album that was originally released on his own Private Press label.

International Times (180 gram vinyl LP)
Cat: ERC 004. Rel: 08 Jan 18
Review: REPRESS ALERT: Arriving at their fourth release, Emotional Rescue's knowledge of forgotten musical gems and their commitment to give them the chance of wider appreciation they fully deserve cannot be in question! After digging out that Bob Chance classic, the focus switches to something of an equally balearic nature with the release of Jaki Whitren & John Cartwright's lost folk rock album International Times. Originally released as a private press on the obscure French label Living Records back in 1983, this eight track album is filled with dusty soul nuggets which are given extra life by the silky vocal stylings of Whitren - formerly a backing singer for Alan Parson. Opening track "Stay Cool" sounds quite ahead of it's time, whilst there are some true dancefloor gems for the more adventurous DJs out there, such as the title track and the laid back bump of "Go With The Flow."

The Jazz Soul Of Little Stevie (hand-numbered 180 gram orange & blue splattered vinyl LP limited to 250 copies)
Cat: SRPD 0036SP. Rel: 15 Feb 24
Review: Stevie Wonder's seminal The Jazz Soul Of Little Stevie album very much unveiled the budding talent of a musical prodigy. Released in 1962, this instrumental collection showcases Wonder's early mastery of jazz-infused melodies at the tender age of just 12 years old. With his harmonica prowess and soulful organ touches frost and centre, Wonder paints vivid tracks that belie his youth. Pieces like 'Fingertips' and 'Square' exude a playful energy, while 'Soul Bongo' delves into rhythmic complexity. Despite its brevity, the album foreshadows Wonder's illustrious career and undeniably set the stage for his future triumphs on Motown and beyond. It's a captivating glimpse into the early genius of a music icon.

Soul TV 1972 (limited 180 gram translucent green vinyl LP)
Cat: VC 95424. Rel: 02 Dec 24
Review: In 1972, musical one-off Stevie Wonder boldly embraced a more experimental and personal style and showcased some innovative use of synths. Backed by his new band Wonderlove, he toured extensively with the Rolling Stones and solidified his status as a trailblazer. This electrifying performance from that year was broadcast on Soul TV WNET 13 in New York City and captures Wonder at his peak and delivering fiery renditions of tracks from his iconic Music of My Mind and Talking Book albums, among others. Presented here with insightful background notes and rare images, this recording is a vivid testament to a pivotal era in Wonder's legendary career.

Wood Brass & Steel (limited 180 gram vinyl LP)
Cat: LPSBCS 79. Rel: 11 Jul 16
Review: 40 years young: Wood, Brass & Steel's eponymous debut album enjoys a highly timely reissue and it still sounds every bit as funky ("Theme Song"), soulful ("Working On A Dream") and emotional ("My Darling Baby") as it did in 76. Complete with cult dancefloor hit "Funkanova" and the crossover disco hit "Always There", this LP has aged with real maturity and clout. Considering what the members did next (Tackheads, Sugarhill and Fats Comet) Wood, Brass & Steel was something of a supergroup in hindsight... And this album is where it all began.
