Now on tri-colored vinyl! Return of the Super Ape is another example of the sound that made Lee Perry great. His records just don t sound like anything else. It s all off somewhere on it s own. I don t know much of Return of the Super Ape s history, but this one was also hard as dirt to find…
Retro soul revivalist debut album. You know when old timers look at someone that seems out of place and they re like you got an old soul ? Pretty sure this phrase was created for Leon Bridges and we just had to wait for him to get old enough for it to make sense. The…
Timeless soul music from Leon Bridges! The five songs featured on this 10 were originally scheduled to be released for Black Friday 2015, but were set back due to delays. Thankfully these brilliant tracks taken from the Coming Home sessions finally see a release and our ears couldn t be more stoked about it. The young Fort…
Music From Memory #1. By now Labheads should already know to pick up any MFM release on sight as your are always guaranteed quality (as well as rarity if that s your thing). Liquid Diamonds snuck under our radar back in 2013, but luckily they ve kept it in print for those that missed it….
The one that started it all for Peoples Potential Unlimited! Over ten years in the making, Leroy Ace Miller s underground 1985 funk bomb is finally back on wax, courtesy of PPU. The heat is on with Teacher and it s sultry funk groove that just don t quit.

Seductive tunes from Italian cinema classics. This limited edition collection compiles work from some of the great Italian composers of the 60s and 70s. The moody tracks found their way into the weirdest spots and avant films mostly of the erotic sort but what Italian film of the period didn t have some sort of…
Old but fresh, bold but nuanced. Lizzo s third full-length, Cuz I Love You, is a vibrant, triumphant mix of funk, pop and r&b, but it s the Detroit, Michigan native s larger-than-life persona that stands out the most on the album. Her commitment to self-love and self-care needs no introduction, and her self-confidence jumps…
Let s ride. Eddie Pendergrass Presents links up with SF s Voltaire imprint for back to back boogie bangers from Loose Shus and Brian Ellis.

Certified…
Reissued on 45! Lyn Collins Think (About It) is a certified funk classic and one of the biggest standouts to come from James Brown s People label. Originally released in 1973, the track has been sampled countless times for its insane break, and on its own it stands as an incredible document of Collins powerhouse…
Gotta love these People Records 45 reissues. This time Get On Down does up Maceo & The Macks 1974 funk bomb Cross The Track (We Better Go Back). You might recognize the beat as it was sampled for hip-hop classics by Stetsasonic, Doug E. Fresh, Kid N Play, etc, but the O.G. holds it weight as one…
