Big Pimp Jones : Hanging With Roscoe
UK : Freestyle Records
7" =
£4.49
In Stock
This slamming 45 is a teaser to wet the appetites of those discerning records buyers who flipped, slipped and fell in love with the preceding super rare blaxploitation soundtrack: Bad Bad Jimmy Ruckus. The A side Hanging With Roscoe presents us with skuzzy drums, finger blistering bass lines and chicken shed saxophone, which is lucky as the vocals inform us that Roscoe makes the best fried chicken and if anyone knows his chicken its Big Pimp Jones! The B side is the pudding in this 2 part food theme funk-out Jump Up, Turnaround Popcorn is a sweet finish to this delicious meal!

The Transatlantics : Couldn't Be Him
UK : Freestyle Records
7" =
£4.49
In Stock
The Transatlantics debut funk 45 is a mellow and touching soul ballad on which Tara vocals tells the story of a very broken heart, whilst the flip side 'Things Got To Get Better' is quite the opposite as it is an uptempo, horn driven funky floorfiller and totally exclusive to this single!

SUPERHUMAN HAPPINESS / CSC FUNK BAND : HUMAN HAPPINESS / A TROLL'S SOIREE
: ELECTRIC COWBELL
7" =
£6.49
In Stock
Downtown NYC music scene's seasoned veterans like Oren Blowedow (bass) meet the Antibalas crew under the banner Superhuman Happiness to deliver one of the funkiest tracks on wax of 2010. "Human Happiness" is a tasteful mix of electronic beats and blurps, layered horns, funky electric guitars, all pulsed along by a throbbing elastic bass line and live drums. North Brooklyn’s CSC Funk Band brings the horns, the rhythm and the swagger like it's 1972 on "A Troll's Soiree", which grooves with an easy gait as tight brass takes center stage. Clocking in at just a little over the 3-minute mark, this funky afrobeat-tinged instrumental is cop show funk at it's finest, barrelling down the backstreets of Bushwick past Ethiopian bodegas, psychic advisor storefronts, and under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway where a surreal slow motion car chase ensues to the banks of Newtown Creek. "A Troll’s Soiree" is a dazzling, gem of a telegram from the funky Nu-Brooklyn underground

Para : Rescue Me
UK : Breakin Bread
7" =
£4.99
In Stock
IN DEMAND! BE QUICK! We managed to secure some copies of this direct from the label. This tune is now deleted and we've got the only copies. This was originally released back in early 2009 before the underground smash album "Fallen On Def Ears" was put out in late 2009.
This is the 7" that showed Para shows was maturing beyond hip hop tracks. Rescue Me is a dancefloor and radio record that builds as Para brings in different elements of the catchy, uptempo beat and dares you not to nod your head whilst Caitlin takes the vocals to heaven and back.
High Speed Dubbing on the flip is a cut and paste record like only Breakin Bread can do it. Pop into a Breakin Bread night at the Jazz Café or any gig the crew are playing worldwide and you'll hear tracks like this. Beats to make you dance, hooks galore and some cutting and scratching. SWEET!

The Hackney Colliery Band : Money

7" =
£5.49
In Stock
Big horns a plenty in this awesome party-starter that appears to be a bit of an instrumental mash-up of ODB's 'Baby I Got Your Money' and Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Mo Money, Mo Problems'. "Money" has already received Radio 1 airplay from Gilles Peterson and has been on the wants list of DJs worldwide for some time! And with the cracking original cut "What's The Time, Mr. Wasp?" on the flip, this is sure to be a huge release for this massively talented outfit.

£6.49
In Stock
Here is a lovely little limited edition 45 from the Hot Peas & Butta project. Hot Peas & Butta Band is a mix of Skeme's dusty 45s, a collection of legendary blaxploitation flicks, a packed dancefloor and the musical stylings of a funky band from Philly called Big Pimp Jones. Awash with sleazy wah-wah and choppy fret sounds, funky vamps straddle groovy organ jams with suitably kick-ass aplomb, this is classic, well-executed stuff that transcends purely kitsch appeal.

The Jive Turkeys : Jt Strut / Talkin' The Talk
Germany : Mocambo
7" =
£5.49
In Stock
A wicked double sider from Ohio-based group the Jive Turkeys, courtesy of Colemine Records. After a few succesful 45s in the US, this is their first European release, taken from their debut album album "Bread & Butter". This is a seriously heavyweight slab of raw instrumental walloping organ funk. "JT Strut" is a hard-hitting groove that only lets up for a tasty organ lick, before it all comes thundering back together again. "Talkin' That Talk" kicks up the pace just a little bit, with some nice guitar vamps, hard hitting drums and that funky organ!

When the label started back in 2005 Flying Fish where the first release with “Mr Matatwe (Keep It Up)”. This was pick up by the BBC for part of the world cup back in 2005. So it seems fitting to release this limited edition 7” single from Flying Fish. The A side of this single is an up lifting floor shaker. Guaranteed to get any dance floor moving. Taking the Keith Mansfield sporting anthem from the 70’s and smashing it with a heavy drums and a grooving bass. Just what the dance floor needed, Roll on the football………South Africa 2010. The AA “Blowpipe” side is another floor beater. Great up lifting flute and heavy melodic bass groove carried along with funky drums. Deep Rhodes and string loop with subliminal Hammond riff. Great funky drum break with driving congas. This is a limited edition release on clear vinyl.

In 1959, a woman by the name of Carmen Murphy attended a Good Friday mass in her home town of Detroit as she did every year. Ms. Murphy found herself particularly moved by the musical performances that evening and decided to convert the basement of her beauty salon into a rehearsal space for local gospel acts and voila, House of Beauty Records was born.
In 2008 Secret Stash began working with a local businessman who acquired the House of Beauty catalog some years back and began sifting through over 3000 tracks in search of rare funky and soulful gems for vinyl release.
