This is where a very long and very successful carrer started for Mr Isaac Lee Hayes. The sound is very different to his signature pieces but some really wonderful jazzed up soul vibes here. German Atlantic pressing fr...

One of his very best packed with soul samples. Those symphonic arrangements on Ike's Mood I, Look Of Love and Ike's Rap has been used in later productions by hundreds of artists and to great effect. A masterpiece ahea...

Great live performance from the Sahara. I particular enjoy his arrangements on Use Me and Do Your Thing. A few hip hop samples thrown in by Dr. Dre and Group Home to top things off. Later Stax issue from '86 in near p...

First solo release after departing The Tempations and a really good one. Northern Soul appeal throughout here with Put A Little Love In Your Heart, The Letter and the big soul anthem I Let Love Slip Away. Essential pi...

Another nice David Ruffin solo project with Van McCoy heavily involved resulting in a somewhat discofied sound. Top tunes in First Round Knock-Out and Good Good Times. Unplayed stock copy on Spanish Motown.

This record is up there among my favorite all time soul albums. Famous for the Ashford Simpson penned Don't Send Nobody Else but also holds Pickup, If You Where There and Moving On. In fairness everything on here is q...

Fantastic second album by New York soul group Ace Spectrum including the sweet soul cut Without You and the 8 plus minuttes of genius in Keep Holding On. US original in weak VG+ condition, plays without noice but has ...

Sadly underrated affair by Detroit soul group Dramatics. She's A Rainmaker and Just Shopping are sweet soul harmonies begging to be looped. If you skip to Dramatic Theme you are in for some brilliant disco jazz fusion...

Plenty of soulful sample stuff on this Dramatics / Ron Banks collaboration with Me and Mrs Jones and Trying To Get Over Loosing You but the real gem is the upbeat Never Let You Go that has huge potential on any soul /...

One of the most consistent vocal groups hailing from the soul capital of Detroit. Plenty of sample ready soul stuff to be found here. Check Say The Word and Be My Girl. US original in top condition cut corner.

Black Seeds Keep On Growing is one of the very best Main Ingredient tunes. I do like Baby Change Your Mind as well but the former is just a Class-A spin. Cover is VG- with ring wear, edge wear and 5 cm split to upper ...

One of the most underrated Main Ingredient records with apperance of Cuba Gooding as lead vocalist. The harmonies are brilliant. Highlights are Everybody Plays The Fool, Whirlwind and I Can't See Me Without You but in...

Hard not to like soul music when listening to Main Ingredient on That Ain't My Style. Classic material sampled notoriously. Reduced price, as cover is very used with heavy ringwear and part split. Record is clean and ...

Such a fine soul record with Put Your Love In My Hands, Over You and Let Me Prove My Love To You all heavily used in Hip Hop production and for very good reason. Arrangements and vocals are spot on. US original in str...

Originally picked this up for The Alchemist sample of I'm Gonna Make The Score but this is actually an overall solid soul record and should appeal to fans of Stylistics or Main Ingredient. US orginal in lovely clean E...

European only soul / funk release by the stripped down Imperials without Jerome Anthony aka Little Anthony who had gone solo. Do What I Gotta Do is the best track but is does also hold the Daft Punk sampled Can You Im...

Essential Philly soul release by Touch Of Class including I'm In Heaven, a fantastic string laden vocal track that is hard not to like. Particular the mellow drum / vibes solo breakdown is really a touch of class. You...

Absolutely wonderful soul release by the Ron Preyer led L.A. vocal group The Younghearts. Wildfire, Me & You and Stop What You're Doing Girl are all lovely tunes but the Vernon Bullock penned Do You Have The Time just...

Highly recommended sweet soul release by The Younghearts. We're All Gods Children and Dedicate are both top drawer soul tunesbut don't miss the disco funk groover Get On Down. US original with long seam split to upper...

Upbeat disco soul by Los Angeles vocal group with the ballad Sho' Nuff Must Be Love my personal standout. US original with cut out and a few inaudible lines on vinyl.
