Quick little show, with a couple new tracks including the amazing female version of Big Bird by Rosetta Hightower! I don't think it can compete with the Eddie Floyd version, but it is pretty great, check it out for yourself!

A couple of new ones toward the beginning, but mostly stuff I dug out of my boxes. I realized I hadn't played some of my favorite tracks on the show recently, so I wanted to make sure all the new listeners knew where I was coming from! Even got a little Soulelujah set in there for the locals!
A visit from a couple local dealers, and I picked up quite a few gems! Check it out! The Dee Dee Gartrell track is AMAZING. My favorite sister funk track from recent months. Finally got a copy of that 'Come Down Baby' track on 45. Also picked up one of my Brainfreeze wants in 'The Tramp (from funky broadway)'. I close the show with another track from the amazing Jenny Dee and the Deelinquents.
Bunch of new 45s I dug up recently. Been a good month or so for finding stuff. I love the Maxine Davis, she has a girl group sound that crosses over to soul/funk quite a bit. Really happy about picking up another big want of mine on Capsoul. Still have to track down that Four Mints LP though! I don't know what the deal is with that Joe Tex on Soul Sound. At first I assumed it was a bootleg, but I guess it might be the original label? Also, I finally got another copy of Stark Reality, after accidentally selling my last one!
