Alton McClain & Destiny ‎– Crazy Love

You've got to love this! Killer, soulful disco from Alton McClain & Destiny ‎in "Crazy Love". Here's with Jim Burgess at the controls on this 12" version, with a monster breakdown. Make sure you check! 
I actually got this, not too long ago and it had belonged to a 'Sundance Kid', member of a record pool back in the day. And instinctively I got curious of the story of the record. A rather distinct divergence if you're dealing with physical artefacts opposed to digital 'records'. I might actually need to do some research for the 'Sundance Kid'. 
Anyways, hope you dig!

Sailor - Down by the docks

I think they are some UK glam rock types in Sailor. Here's something slightly different from them in 'Down by the docks' off a Canadian 12". I believe the 12" version is different from the LP one, more stripped down and dirty.  And it's great, all up my street with its pumping beats, sleazy bass and sweet disco-ey strings.
Hope you dig!

Donald Byrd - Ghana

There's been soo many Donald Byrd tracks over the decades, and so many styles covered. Basically any modern genre has it connections to them in some way. 
And he was one the greatest. Here's one personal favourite in the slamming 'Ghana' of the 'Byrd in flight' LP.
Hope you dig - you should!

OPM - In and out of love

Here's a heavy piece of leftfield-ish funk in the 12" version of OPM's 'In and out of love'. Bit of adult rave simply.
Hope you dig!
