HUGE '89 reissue from Isle of Jura. Originally a white label 12”, ‘You’ve Gone’ is the sole release from Bassline and went on to be smash hit in South London. It's masterclass 'street soul' - mixing ‘70s UK pop, reggae, lovers rock and Philly soul with synths, drum machines and 8-track recorders!

Killer strut reissue of Patrice Rushen 1984 influential classic and final release on Elektra. Released after the global success of ‘Straight From The Heart’, ‘Now’ stripped back the arrangements and explored a new sonic palette. Patrice had built a home studio and was playing with synths and drum machines, forming demos to then layer on all the legendary musicians she corralled in this era. All original artwork remains and it features vocal and instrumental 12” versions of the album’s singles ‘Get Off’ and ‘Feels So Real’. Also includes rare photos and a new interview with Patrice Rushen. Essential.

It's been an ace few years for Space Ghost with two outstanding dance records, 'Dance Planet' on Tartelet in 2021 and 'Private Paradise' on Pacific Rhythm in 2022. Here he jumps back to Dance Planet for the remix with 5 squeaky-clean, deep, bouncy, digi-dub jams on a pink marbled vinyl!

Smooth jazz release from Ralph McDonald featuring all-time greats Bill Withers, Stave Gadd, Grover Washington Jnr, and Eric Gale. At the time it was the highest-selling jazz album - ever!

Essential compilation of never released bedroom demos from THE funk writer, Charles Stepney. 23 cuts of raw soul and funk, some of which ended up with Earth, Wind & Fire and Rotary Connection. Lovingly compiled and organised by his three daughters (who speak and sing on the record)! TIP!!
