Catalog #: ATH063 7
Top modern soul/disco spin that goes for big money, licensed from MOSES TRIBBEY himself. This is a disco funk banger leaning more toward the disco side. (ATHENS OF THE NORTH)
Infinity/PARTY MAN 7"
$16.50
Catalog #: ATH064 7
The 2nd licensed release from INFINITY, another disco funk crossover dance cut that flies under the radar, backed with a floaty disco banger on the flip. (ATHENS OF THE NORTH)
Bobby Boyd/LOVE GODDESS 7"
$16.50
Catalog #: ATH066 7
"LOVE GODDESS" is a floaty driving disco soul number for both the Northern soul boys and the deep disco heads. On the flip we get "GOOD NEWS (TIRED OF BAD NEWS)" a classic horn driven funky soul cut. FYI: BOBBY was one of the founding members of the LAFAYETTE AFRO ROCK BAND. (ATHENS OF THE NORTH)
Bill Brown/BIP BAM (PARTS 1 & 2) 7"
$16.50
Catalog #: ATH067 7
A super rare BROWNSTONE release, less well known than label mate "EVERYDAY PEOPLE" but just as rare and collectible. Shuffling sunshine soul that's all about groove and feeling. Seriously funky. Limited to 500 copies only. (ATHENS OF THE NORTH)
Bobby Boyd/I LIKE WHAT YOU DO TO ME 7"
$16.50
Catalog #: ATH068 7
Some dope mid 80s material from BOBBY BOYD. A boogie/proto house joint that works well on the dancefloor. B/w the proto house banger "GIRL LIKE YOU", a sick soulful number with a big swinging kick drum. Both cuts are proper club material. (ATHENS OF THE NORTH)
Teddy Pendergrass/BELIEVE IN LOVE 7"
$16.50
Catalog #: ATH069 7
This soul classic from 1993, never pressed on 7" before, includes the PHAT PHILI Mix on the A-side and the original LP version on the B-side. (ATHENS OF THE NORTH)
Brief Encounter/WHERE WILL I GO 7"
$16.50
Catalog #: ATH070 7
One of the most coveted unreleased low rider/soul ballads. A huge tune only released on a Japanese compilation 20 years ago (without the band's consent and with some channels missing). Here's the full track for the first time. B/w the disco gospel cut "ALWAYS". (ATHENS OF THE NORTH)
Orpheus/BEAUTIFUL LADY 7"
$16.50
Catalog #: ATH071 7
This American group is so rare that we might as well consider this 7" single unreleased, having never even been sold on Ebay or Discogs! The undiscovered deep soul of the title track is flipped with the unknown deep funk of "DO IT THIS WAY". (ATHENS OF THE NORTH)
Kashmere Stage Band/KASHMERE 7"
$16.50
Catalog #: ATH072 7
Two previously album-only tracks now on 7" for the first time from Houston, Texas native COBRAD O. JOHNSON and his cult fave band. Don't miss out on the 2011 documentary "THUNDER SOUL" which reunites the band over 30 years down the line. (ATHENS OF THE NORTH)
Luther Davis Group/KEEP ON DANCIN 7"
$16.50
Catalog #: ATH073 7
While many know his from his evergreen disco classic "YOU CAN BE A STAR", fewer people know of this far more rare disco/funk 45. On the flip is a deep soul joint with dope backing vocals and crispy drumming. (ATHENS OF THE NORTH)
Willie Griffin/I LOVE YOU 7"
$16.50
Catalog #: ATH075 7
Arguably one of the best obscure soul ballads out there, this rare and collectable 45 is by self-taught Dallas guitarist and singer-songwriter GRIFFIN. Includes the equally beguiling "WHERE THERE'S SMOKE THERE'S FIRE" on the B-side. Remastered & repressed! (ATHENS OF THE NORTH)
