russell aka sigher the gutter snypes
producer of u.k rap outfit the gutter snypes and a long time digger.

1. the royale vll "it's an explosion pt lI"windmill
intro start with heavy drums-bline kicks in and away you go!! even room for a "hey jude" horn blast. pt1 is just as good in it's own soulful way and still manages an 8 bar drum solo.
2. the firebirds "zip it up and throw it out" crow
if you threw this out of your collection, Frisbee it my way. by far one of my best 45's two heavy chugging funk sides from the king subsidiary. one credit is mcants--is that junior??? check it on mr finewines archive.
3. starlighters featuring jorgie greene "i never thought" durmen int.
is this rare, i couldn't give a toss--looks like it was recorded in early '70s but has a superb northern r 'n'b feel circa '67 real heavy bassline kicks it off---love it.
4. joe tex "i wanna be free" dial
damn never thought i would pay $90 for a joe tex 45. but i just had to get this, it's irresistible message of how us men wanna be free from are nagging wives!!!!---can you relate when you have just brought too many 45's.
5. tommy cook and the fantastics "dance fever" priority
this was another blind buy at $3 and i first thought it was just a general dance craze thang. comes from the harthon team of styles, randolph but oh how i was wrong.--little strange organ licks accompanied by rasping drumming---one to look out for in the clubs.
6. bobby bland "shoes" duke
again shouldnt be a rare record but they seem to be getting whipped up right away. 100 club spin(i think) and you can tell why. the story of a man who shoes just wont say goodbye to his women---brilliant.
7. del-rays "pure funk" phart!!!
buying a record on a label called phart do me a favour--but it's real nice kind new orleans style groove out of florida--pure bass drums and guitar.
8. edwin starr "running back and forth" gordy
found this on the war lp of my own accord--arent i clever, and thought shit what an absolutely monstrous uptempo soul tune. now got the 45, which is different in the mix and i just cant leave it alone. if youre checking us out edwin, rockkkk awwwnnnnnn!!!
9. styles of bobby day "your love" byrdland
as a producer the drums dont get much better than this. put it up there in the all time greats and a wicked downtempo soul funk 45 as well from bob and earl man.
10. peices of eight "come back girl" a&m
brilliant showing of how us white fellas can hit a good soul tune every now and then.--this is a brilliant northern doo-wop 45 from around '68----

Greg Belson’s Top Ten Hogwash Pieces of Filth
Mail hogwashing@hotmail.com for further info.

1. Sandy Gaye “He’s Good For Me”
Fantastic femme funk that’ll stay at the top of the playlist for a long time yet.
2. Wayne Spence “Thank God For Peace”
Ultra rare, gospel inspired funk. A new discovery getting heavy plays.
3. Herbie Goins “Coming Home To You”
Blues inspired soul funk that forms the backbone of any Hogwash night.
4. Jazzberry Patch “Planed Off”
Rare Hammond groover that sounds like the Dee Felice Trio on steroids.
5. Elaine Hoffman “Great Big Fun”
No better way to start your night than with this little known mid tempo belter.
6. Clea Bradford “My Love’s A Monster”
Time to resurrect one I’ve been playing for years. Very overlooked heavyweight groove.
7. The Thrillers “Do The Train”
Tough, tough instrumental that takes control of any dancefloor.
8. Glenda Dove “It’s Gotta Be Something Else”
Ultra rare soul funker that demands heavy playtime.
9. Cheryl Dorsey “If You Want Your Man”
Yet another sickeningly good voice set to an inspired funk backdrop.
10. Robert Jay “Alcohol”
I just can’t leave this out of any playlist, it’s just too good. Superior blues funk.

Nick.C’s Hot, Funky & Sweaty Top Ten
Hot, Funky & Sweaty – 1st & 3rd Thurs of the month @ Salmon & Compasses, Angel – starts July 03

1. Friends – Soul Heaven (inst) - Twinight
The flip to E.Rodney Jones & Friends - Soul Heaven and a nice way to check ‘Is It Because I’m Black’ sans vocals, not that there’s anything wrong with Syl’s vocal style mind – just a damn tough tune.
2. Gran Am – Get High – J’ace
The soundtrack to my life. Shit sound quality, shit vocals, shit guitar solo - top tune!
3. James Mason – Sweet Power – Chiaroscuro
Sweeet! Especially the 45 version which features the keyboards way higher in the mix.
4. Roy Porter Sound Machine – Jessica – Vistone
My favourite soul tune ever. Now all I gots to do is find a bird called Jesse so I can have it as me wedding tune…
5. Doug Anderson – Hey Mama, Here Come the Preacher – Janus
Ok yeah, so we’re all feeling the Black Chains comp, but so what? It’s all good, especially this Eddie Bo slo-burner.
6. James Brown – Talkin’ Loud and Saying Nothin’ – King
I’m talkin’ about the fuzz guitar version dudes! “How you like me now?”!!
7. The Nasty Dog Catchers – Nasty Dog Pt2 – Reedsville
Dismissed by some as another ‘let’s all shout & stuff’ record, I don’t care – beats are ruff! (pun intended) One of Clarence Reid’s more balls to the ground workouts.
8. Heatwave – Rastus Ravel – Penny Farthing
This one’s really grown on me, a UK sort of Little Barrie style, funky thing from 1970, strong on the hi-hat, good chugging beat…
9. Serge Gainsbourg & Jean-Claude Vannier – La Horse – Cinemix
Don’t have a spare £700, so this promo a pal gave me will do me just fine! Always been my serge cut of choice – so glad to finally have it on wax, despite some total shite remixes on the flip!
10. The Soul Lifters – Hot, Funky And Sweaty – House of the Fox
Obviously, this has to go on – it’s the namesake of my damn funky fresh nite! It’s also harder than last night’s erection. Two Eddie Bo’s on one top ten? Damn straight!

James Trouble
Mail jamestrouble@hotmail.com for further info.

1. Trace Of Smoke "Treasure Mind"
If you don't like this, you're WRONG!
2. Brothers Gilmore "I Feel A Song"
Over most people's heads this one, but give it a chance it'll grow on you....trust me;-)
3. Hamilton Movement "She's Gone"
Crossover soul doesn't get any better than this. It makes my girlfiend horney as well, which is always nice!
4. Luther Davis "You Can Be A Star"
If there was ever a record that is deserving of some chart succes this is it. the dancers love it, little kids love it, your mum will love it, your gran'll love it, it must be the perfect record?
5. Rokk "Patience"
Best new discovery for over a year and still sounding very fresh.
6. Tickled Pink "Reach Out (And Give Me Your Hand)"
Intense, passionate, aggressive and fast. This never fails to fill a dance floor. If you're into rare records you'll want to know there are currently only 5 known copies in the collector's world.
7. Latin Breed "I Turn You On"
A bit of a classic these days thanks to Jazzman's Funk45 label. The original's still super rare though;-)
8. El Anthoney "We've Been In LoveToo Long"
A bit too dark and moody for some, but I just love this kind of northern'. My girl friend likes it too, it makes her spin around in circles and punch the air.
9. Moorish Vanguard "Sitting In The Sunshine Of Your Love"
Produced by James Brown in 1977, but this is no disco record. Heavy, heavy funk.
10. Larry Ellis "Funky Thing"
This one's snuck back into my playlist, and very nice it is too.

Clockwise Revolution current top ten plays:
Every Friday at the Ocean Rooms, 1 Morley Street Brighton, with live art outside by Req every week.

1. Funny Thing - Willie Joe (Pure Black Soul)
The label says 1981, but ol' Willie must have been hiding in the Bayou
for about ten years to have made this top slice of bass heavy RnB.
2. I made a mistake - Marva Whitney (King)
Never get tired of this...wailing classic.
3. I'm the Bad One - Kent Meade & the Remington Sunshine (Magic Carpet)
4. What it is - Apollis (Soul Set)
5. Black Molly - Little Ricky & the Rhythm Express (Texas)
The Lone Star's answer to Jungle strut.

7. Funky Belly - Warren Lee (Wand)
Well caned New Orleans crowd pleaser
8. You Blew my Mind - Vernon Garrett (Kapp)
9. Woe is all over me - Charlie Antolini (MPS lp cut)
From the depths of Bavaria comes this ace piece of seriously funky jazz.

yoghurt weaving and kaftans.

dj midnite cowbwoy
SOLID! Raleigh & Durham NC

1. Lyn Taitt - Stepping Up (Randys)
great JA funk 2-sider i'm diggin' this midtempo groover right now, after about wearing out the mad moog flip.
2. Burgess Gardner & the Soul Crusaders - Do It (More Soul)
this rocking funk instro saved a record deal gone bad, beat-up and missing records don't make me happy.
3. Dewey Terry - Do On My Feet (What I Did In The Street) (Tumbleweed)
i almost threw this one back when i played the flip side first, "funky old town" ain't funky! but "do on my feet" does it right with great hammond and guitar working it all out.
4. Bee Bee Butler - Sweet Sweet Life (SMC)
female funk perfection to my ears
5. Brass Monkey - Brass Monkey/Funky Monkey (Brass Monkey)
ok, so a dealer has an interesting record but it's priced a lot higher than it' worth to you, so dealer comes down a lot with the price and you decide to take it, but when you reach into your pocket you are just about broke but the dealer still takes the small stack of ones and coins that are even a lot less than his final price. oh yeah, the record is just ok anyway.
6. John Phillip Soul and his Stone Marching Band - That Memphis Thing (Pepper) i
was after this for the flip, but the few times i saw it on lists and ebay i wasn't gonna bite at those prices. so i found it for $3 buried in a box of 80s crap. i don't think i have played the side that i was after more than a couple times, because this one has me moving.
7. Joe and Everyday People - Sleep Walk (Brooks)
great song, but pressed waaaaay too quiet. i had a chance to buy the alt. version "pimp walk" but it was up for
$$$
8. Hi-Fi White - Bulldog (Sandman)
i can't decide whether i like the vocal or insto side better on this hard driving funky blues killer. bow wow!
9. Van Lee's Cruisers - My Goose is Picked (Vantone)
wonderful hammond proto-funk from Ohio.
10. Willie James - Stand Up For Your Rights (Unity)
hasn't left my playbox in six months. sounds like sped up J.B. from 69 with added conga/bongo really drivin'
it on.

1. Helen Troy - "I think i love you" Kapp
My favourite ever R&B 45, Uptempo, shouting vocals, stabbing horns, total killer!
2. Merle Spears & The Treats - "I want to know" Whit
Perfect R&B/soul dancer, great when female vocal cuts in half way through. Bought for a bargain $50.
3. Buddy Guy "I dig your wig" Chess
Superb harmonica driven Mod R&B dancer.Never fails to pack the floor!
4. Ray Barretto "Hard Hands" Fania
Killer Latin dancer with excellent breaks, one of my fave latin 45's!
5. Dyna-Might "Borracho" Uni
Latin style funk with superb rolling bassline and drumbeats/breaks.
6. Irma Thomas "Don't mess with my man" Ron
Hard to find early R&B dancer, with great lyrics. Got this for a bargain 10 bucks!
7. Betty Harris "Mean Man" Sansu
Another hard done to woman moaning about her nasty spouse.Makes for an ace funky r&b dancer though!
8. Bill Doggett "Sapphire" b/w "Ko Ko" Roulette
Great hammond organ double sider, very underrated 45.
9. Hank Marr "The out crowd" Wingate
Groovy mod style hammond instro, has been seen at silly money.Guaranteed floor filler!
10. Dave Cortez & the Moon People "Happy soul(with a hook)" Speed
Uptempo latin instro with great organ instead of vocals.Just as good as Hippy Skippy Moon strut but loads cheaper!
11. Erma Franklin "I don't want know mama's boy" Epic
Awesome uptempo R&B dancer, surely one of her rarest and best 45's?
12. Billy Eckstine "I wonder why" Motown
Obscure R&B B-side that is brilliant because it sounds nothing like Motown! Killer!
13. Albert Collins "Cookin' Catfish" 20th Century
Ace R&B instro that has great organ, brass and guitar, but is far to short at less than 2 minutes!
14. Joe Bataan "Subway Joe" Fania
Classic Latin soul dancer that is getting very hard to find.
15. Ray Barretto "Together" b/w "New York Soul" Fania
Yes i know i'm getting obsessed with latin soul! Two killers on one 45? Absolute genius!
