Soul album from 1981 on the same label as Leo's Sunshipp but ten times rarer. Contains the great two stepper "Miracles" and the modern soul/boogie dancer "Got to take a chance".


"Streets of Calcutta" and "Dancing drums" classic sitar funk tracks that have been big club spins for ages. Indian original.


"Autumn Song" wonderful, melancholic vocal folk/jazz tune covered by Koop on "Waltz for koop". Strong album in general.


Lovely island funk on a 45 out of Trinidad!


Leftfield boogie track with a dark groove! Flip is a feel-good boogie dancer that does what it says.


Fantastic LP, one of the best disco albums ever - "I know you will", "You got that something", "Dancing into the stars" and the LP only "Lay it on the line" are all killer!


Great soul album on this collectible label including the killer crossover track "Love and affection" and the beautiful "You don't want my love".


Sealed US original of wonderful modal album with two masterpieces in "Let's play" and "Bostwick's little bag".


Killer disco funk from Barbados. Darker and IMO better version of the Tony Wilson classic. Their "Check It Out" / "Our Love Is True" 45 was also listed today.
