This week for new releases we have a great new album from London soul singer Lynda Dawn called 11th hour, a fantastic album with a brilliant retro soul feel that is in very high demand and very low in supply so make sure you act quick! There is a wicked 7 inch from Eugene Smiley, courtesy of Miles Away Records, a very rare in demand 45 in the collectors scene with a big dancer on the A side and nice stepper on the B. There is also a lovely Christmas album from jazz harpist Amanda Whiting and finally a new...
Emilia Sisco from Finland has previously released a few nice 45s but now has her fine ten track debut album ‘Introducing Emilia Sisco’ backed by the excellent Cold Diamond & Mink. It is a superb retro early 70s soul album recorded and mixed at the Timmon studios. Emilia possesses a sweet wistful soulful voice and harmonises beautifully over the sympathetic backing from the five piece, horn led band that includes Jukka Eskola on trumpet and flugel horn. ‘Say Yes’ is a lovely mid tempo groove oriented track. ‘Your Girl’ is a mid tempo beat ballad, as is ‘Love So...

Check out this great batch of 45 Original Jazz Funk LPs from the fabulous South West Connection collection (the final albums from the second batch; watch out for some 45s over the next week). All records are in outstanding, hardly (if ever) played condition with nice crisp sleeves (many still in shrink wrap) all as individually graded and noted. All the records from this collection would make great gifts to give or receive as they are classic albums in nearly new condition. You can combine with others from the same collection here to optimise postage costs. Records can be ordered...
There are some great albums, reissues and restocks this week. Emilia Sisco has released a few 45s previously but now releases her debut album 'Introducing Emilia Sisco' featuring Cold Diamond and Mink and it's a very good retro soul set and on a similar tip to the Penrose Showcase vol 2, which gets a release on black vinyl and a full sleeve. Marion Meadows returns with another smooth jazz album and Ruby Rushton has a 10" EP. There are three Sergio Mendes reissues, Johnny Hammond 'Gears' 180gm on Jazz Dispensary (very limited), Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson on Acoustic Sounds...

The ever reliable Will Downing returns with another 6 tracks of quality romantic sophisticated soul ‘Luscious’. The tracks are all conversions of classic songs restyled by Will featuring some great musicians. Marcus Johnson plays piano on his version of Junior’s ‘Mama Used To Say’ taken at a slower pace than the original but in someways it actually suits the song better. Jon Lucien’s beautiful ‘Rashida’ features Marion Meadows on sax and naturally, it is a very soulful version. ‘The Power Of Love’ features Randy Bowland on guitar and Rhodes and the song epitomises Will Downing’s music. No surprises, just quality music...
Gina Sedman (formerly Gina Carey) returns with 'Valuable People', a collection of 11 self-written and produced songs, her first album in a while. The title track and 'What The World Needs' are very funky grooves. The mid tempo 'But What's Inside' has an 80s Soul feel. 'Smile' is a highlight featuring Michael J Calhoun of Kinsmann Dazz on guitar and Kevin Flournoy on electric piano which has a rare groove approach. There is also a remix which has a more percussive groove. 'Grace' is another highlight, an upper mid tempo groove. 'I Refuse' is more uptempo. 'Living In A World'...
