The Kidds - Lovely Lady / Hole In My Heart

Weird one here:

A side: sweet soul.

B side: bonehead crusher.

Both are cool AF.

Roy Johnson And The Outlaws - Forgive Me Baby

Great funky lo-fi soul jam from Roy Johnson and the Outlaws. I have no idea who Mr. Johnson was/is, nor anything about his Outlaws, but i reckon he fashioned himself a James Brown wanna be.... Heh. I love this tune and slight ineptness and lo-fi sound. Dudes with some drinks and just jamming it out hard. This is one of the first 45's i picked up years ago when i started to think out of the box of record collecting and picking up things i knew nothing about but looked cool. I think i paid a dollar at a thrifty store. Score.

Rhoda Scott - I-Yi-Yi-Yi Pt.1 & Pt. 2

Great ripping R&B rockers that move and kick much ass. Great lo-fi live sound. Groovy.

Intruders - I'm Sold (On You)

Early Philly soul from 1961. Dig it. Time for a beer.

The Charmaines - Keep On Seachin ' / Smile

To those out there that think social media is a total waste of time, let me present this 45 to you. While I agree a lot of social media is a dump for the self absorbed, occasionally it can have positive results. In this case, it provided me with this 45 on the cheap, from a relative stranger, a person who I follow on instagram. I knew nothing about this 45 (and still don't) but the person who i follow (not gonna mention any names unless dude tell me otherwise and is cool with it) posted this 45 w/ a sound clip saying he picked up 2 copies on the cheap. i made a low offer half kidding and he upped it by a slight margin. A couple of days later and it showed up in my mail box. Sweet. Just goes to show that there are still cool folks out there in the world. Now enjoy this great soulful funky 45 from 1969 on the Minit Record label by The Charmaines. Cheers!

Shirley Caeser - Stand The Storm

I'm not the biggest gospel fan in the world but i just picked this album up on the cheap and this track rocks in a funky, soulful & rocking sort of way. It would have really been great if there was killer fuzz solo in the middle or end. Still pretty cool. Sounds like something Tina Turner or Merry Clayton would have done.

The Young Ones - No, No Don't Make Me Cry

I don't know the year on this but it's some soulful doo-wop so i'm guessing late in the game. Maybe 1963/64, but that is just a guess.... (while writing this i found out they formed in 1963 so my hunch was just about spot on) What little i could find out about the group was that they were of "Hispanic extraction".... The White Doo-Wop Collector has a nice little write up on the group.

The Young Ones - No, No Don't Make Me Cry

The Neighborhood - Why Can't You See - Calling All Girls

I've been sick in bed since Thanksgiving so i will make this brief. I Can't find anything about this group. I can't find a year it was put out or anything. "Why Can't You See" sounds sorta stuck between the mid/ late 60's and early 70's w/ a sorta poppy rock vibe. Sorta bubblegum, but a pretty good little tune. The "WOOO's" sound a bit doo-woppy. Like Frankie Valli or some shit.... both sides have good keys in the background and horns. Kinda hard to put my finger on it. And the flip sounds like a totally different group. It's a sorta slow rolling funky soul instrumental with lots of horns on this one. Anyone have any insight on this???

Ike And Tina And The Ikettes - So Fine - So Blue Over You

Pickins have been slim around here for a while. i did get that twilights 45 a bit back but not much else of late. But i got this little 45 yesterday for 50 cents. Not a rare thing really but i nice addition to the Ike & Tina collection. This is from 1968 but sounds like 1964 to me.

The Twilights - It's Been So Long - She's Gonna Put Me Down

Just scored this little soulful 45 at the local thrift on the cheap. I've seen that this is from 1964 and 1966??? Sounds more like 64 to my ears but i don't know for sure. Info is pretty scarce of the twilights but i think they were from Detroit?

The Chevelles - The Gallop

Another well played flea market find. The Chevelles doing The Gallop on the Flaming Arrow record label from 1968. It's a funky little intrumental with a grooving bass line and funky horns. Not bad for 25 cents...

The Chevelles - The Gallop

Steel Wool - Hold On, I'm Comin'

Rare cover tune of the famous Sam & Dave track by Steel Wool from 1970. This 45 has seen better days but it's a pretty cool cut with some fine guitar work & vocals. I got this in a deal where i bought some punk rock records and dude threw in some pretty trashed soul 45's. So please excuse the pop and hiss. Get past that and enjoy some fuzzy ax work and strong funky vocals.

Steel Wool - Hold On, I'm Comin'

The Palisades - This Is The Nite - Relic Rock

Cool little record on a cool little label. Front side is a doo wopper and this being from 1964 they must have been hanging on to that sound for dear life, as that was the beggining of the end for that style w/ the British invasion and all. The back side is a soulful instrumental stroller. Nothing amazing but pretty neat.
